When I started the Threelac I used one packet the first afternoon then two the next. Each time I only used about 4 drops oxygen. My face is better but is now all dry and I'm sore inside {gals know what I mean}. I am sending it back to the company in hopes of getting my money back-we shall see. Anyway, my husband who is very sweet and supportive was very impressed with the info about a product called "inulin" and has ordered for me. He printed off all pages of reseach on it -enough for a book! It is made from plant sources (this one is made from chicoroy) It's purpose is to feed the good bacteria and not the bad. It is what's called a prebiotic ie. verses a probiotic. I am also going to try a Liver Flush later this week. Anyone heard of inulin?
