Anecdotal “Die-Off” Flu-Like Symptoms
Some anecdotal reports describe a “die-off” process (known as a Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction) during this early stage of the detox process and you may experience flu like symptoms which results from the release of toxins or debris being unpacked and cleansed out the Intestinal / colon – they should die off within a few days.

As your body begins to detox you might experience the “die-off,” stated above, and a result of the toxic load -mild flu-like symptoms – a side effect of the toxins leaving the body, and not a side effect of diatomaceous earth.
To counteract these symptoms increase your fluid intake – you should have a couple of glasses. If the symptoms persist, You can Lower the dose and take it a little slower as the detoxification process may result in headaches.
I would advice eating lighter foods, food that is alkaline and preferably organic, avoiding heavy meat during the detox – Keep taking and increasing the dosage until you are at a maintenance of up to level – 1 teaspoon or tables spoon per serving. I take mine every morning on an empty stomach.
The detox is helping the liver to remove residue toxins and you may wish to stay on a maintenance dose along with other supplements to keep your body from holding on to toxins.
