I started on Christmas day 2007 as well and have trouble getting over 10 drops without the Diarrhea. I guess that is where my body need to clean stuff out.
I think the "Gold Standard" for taking it would be with a natural "fresh squeezed juice" (lemmon or Lime) and taking it on an empty stomach and with only distilled water; To confirm nothing has deactivated the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . As we have seen others here do that and all of a sudden started having bad "die off".
