How much alfalfa?

**ChristinaNJ** · 02-27-2012, 08:19 PM

I seem to remember reading/hearing somewhere that you can take more than just 2 alfalfa capsules with each meal. If so, how many can you take? How do you know how many is right for you? Can you also increase the number of fibertox with each meal? I am looking to reduce my cellulite.

Christina, I don't know about the fibertox, but alfalfa--you kind of go by how you feel or how well your symptoms disappear--whether that's PMS or cellulite!

I take 6-9 daily, at some points I have taken 12. Teresa said at the worst of her menopause she took 24 a day! But she's back down to 6 now. I was taking 9 daily a few years ago, but the few days before my cycle I felt like the bottom dropped out. My df Neecy encouraged me to up it the week my cycle was due, so I did, to 12. Took care of the problem! I'm trying to work back up to doing that again. My family all had a tummy bug a month ago, including me. It always takes me awhile to gradually get back up to my supplement intake!

Start increasing slowly, and see how that helps. You are skin brushing and doing salt masks/baths, too, right?

It took awhile for my cellulite to really respond--about a year, really. I wasn't taking fibertox, though, because I was breastfeeding my ds at the time.

HTH!

I take 6 a day, 3 in the morning and 3 at night.

For fibertox, it is for helping of getting toxin out via elimination. You have to drink water, a lot, when you are doing fibertox to help getting rid of toxin. Cellulites are pockets of toxins and fat trapped in skin that was low in collagen.

Skin brushing helps stimulate the skin and exercise the skin, collagen helps elasticity of the skin, with brushing, you will have thicker skin, and brushing the correct direction helps getting rid of the toxin. T-Tapp exercise (PBS, TTT, stepping) helps pumping the toxins out. Fibertox helps to get rid of the toxins in your guts.

I think Teresa on the Superskin CD said most people do not need fibertox after 1 month, if they routinely drink water. If you don't drink enough water, you will continue to use fibertox.
