I drink 1 t. of the clay in a glass of water every day as it is filled with minerals and I find myself more satisfied with the food I eat. (now I'm getting the minerals I need)
I've been doing something else for months that I read about on the internet. People have been brushing their tongue thinking it is cleaning it, when, according to what I read, it actually pushes the bacteria more into the tongue.
So, the solution has been to take the edge of a teaspoon and scrape my tongue every morning right after I get up. You will be amazed at the junk that is on your tongue every morning. When I started, my tongue was a mess....sore, lined, split, coated, etc. (an indication of what's going on in the rest of your body). Now it's in pretty good shape. Alkalizing with 1 t. of baking soda in a glass of water 3 times a day too has had added benefits.
I hope this information is beneficial to others.
