How to Dose Detox Supplements Safely: Start Low & Go Slow
Detoxing is an essential part of cleansing the body from parasites, heavy metals, and toxins, but jumping into full doses too quickly can lead to uncomfortable detox reactions (herxing).
Even though most products come with dosing instructions, it's important to listen to your body and ease into detox supplements gradually to avoid overwhelming your system.
Let’s break down how to properly dose key detox supplements to ensure a gentle yet effective cleanse.
How to Start with Fulvic/Humic Acid
Fulvic/Humic Acid is a powerhouse supplement that helps:
✔ Bind and remove toxins, heavy metals, and parasites
✔ Provide 70+ trace minerals to replenish the body
✔ Improve gut health, nutrient absorption, and cellular detoxification
⚠ Why You Should Start Slowly:
If your body is overloaded with toxins, taking a full dose too soon can trigger intense herxing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, nausea, and skin breakouts as your body struggles to eliminate waste.
Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Fulvic/Humic Acid
🔹 Start with Foot Soaks (Optional, but Recommended)
- Before taking it internally, use Fulvic Powder in foot soaks for at least a week.
- This allows your body to detox gradually through the skin, reducing the risk of a strong herx reaction.
🔹 Starting Internally with Fulvic Powder
- Begin with 1/64 teaspoon in 16 oz of non-chlorinated water per day.
- If this feels like too much, reduce the dose. Some people start by dipping a dry toothpick into the powder and stirring it into water.
- If you don’t feel any effects, slowly increase the dose week by week.
🔹 Starting Internally with Fulvic Liquid Drops
- Begin with 1-2 drops in 16 oz of filtered, non-chlorinated water per day.
- Increase gradually as tolerated, monitoring how your body responds.
How to Start with Black Seed Oil
Black Seed Oil is another powerful detoxifier with benefits including:
✔ Anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties
✔ Helps eliminate toxins from the liver and gut
✔ Supports digestion and reduces bloating
⚠ Why Sublingual Dosing is Recommended:
Taking Black Seed Oil sublingually (under the tongue) allows its active compounds to enter directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster and more effective absorption.
How to Dose Black Seed Oil
🔹 Start with 1-2 drops under the tongue, followed by water, once a day.
🔹 Slowly increase the dose as tolerated.
🔹 If the taste is too strong, mix it into water or juice, but sublingual dosing provides the fullest benefits.
How to Dose Worm X Parasite Cleanse
Worm X is an incredibly strong anti-parasitic tincture designed to eliminate parasites at all life stages. Because of its potency, it's best to start slow and work up to a full dose.
How to Dose Worm X
🔹 Start with the child's recommended dose (even if you're an adult).
🔹 Gradually increase to the adult-recommended dose over time.
🔹 If you experience strong detox symptoms, slow down and support your detox pathways (hydration, binders, and movement).
The Importance of Going Slow: Avoiding Herxing
Yes, the goal is to eliminate parasites, toxins, and heavy metals—but we want to do it in a way that supports the body without causing unnecessary suffering.
⚠ What Is Herxing?
Herxheimer reactions (herxing) occur when toxins are released faster than the body can eliminate them, causing symptoms like:
✔ Fatigue & brain fog
✔ Headaches & nausea
✔ Skin breakouts & rashes
✔ Digestive discomfort
