Thanks, David. I think I'll take both your suggestions. Will lay off the hoodia tea for a while...not having food cravings anyway. And keep using the agave. It's quite sweet, more the texture of thin syrup than honey, and a mild, pleasant flavor. I don't use extra sweetener in most things, but haven't ever tried the vinegar cocktail without it. Don't know if our honey is raw or not, will have to look. It's crystallized, though, because I don't use it fast enough. Makes it hard to dissolve it in the amount of water I want to use. Agave isn't supposed to do that. Cheri

Thank you for your tip. You had mentioned in your post that you take Apple Cider Vinegar, is this good for detoxing ones liver? If not, what can I take for the detoxing of my liver.

Yes, It is helpful in detoxing the whole body. The liver is the filter of the body as one of its jobs so this helps the liver. Marilyn Ali has a great post on helping the liver also. Milk Thistle is one of the things she recommends. David

Hi David,

I was just going through your forums, catching up, and this one caught my eye since I recently became interested in detoxing.

I'm sorry but you just can't get me anywhere near apple cider vinegar. I'm with your teenagers, I'm afraid. Can't stand the smell or taste of the stuff. I don't care how you try to disguise it.

I did just start using an herbal detox tea with Milk Thistle plus lots of other herbs in the bag. I can't say that I enjoy the taste of it that much but I mix in a little black tea so I enjoy it a little more. If I don't enjoy something, it won't get taken.

I'm not so sure about the losing weight bit. Are you sure you just aren't eating less?

Hi Martha,

I am glad you are drinking a detox tea you enjoy. I hope you can still add ginger and lemon. Those are good for the detoxing also.

Yes, I am sure I am not eating less. I am also still not eating on schedule as my family has a VERY hard time with that.
