I personally did not mind the effects, although the tase was horrible. Of course, I just drank a small amount. My husband was already dealing with a toxic system that was near overload, but we did not know about it then. We learned about his near toxicity when he was not even able to drink a glass of wine with out getting really sick. I started researching it and now we are headed to a liver flush.... first we have to finish this parasite and bowel stuff.
