Thank you for the warm welcome!!!!

I am experiencing a heighten sense of awareness even though I am
sleeping a lot less. I use to sleep for about seven hours and rarely had
a clear head upon first waking.

My thoughts are clear but the aches and myriad of pains/detox symptoms
commence shortly thereafter. When I woke up this morning I felt
fantastic, but after a couple of hours and 2 ounces of wheatgrass later
my headache returned. I slept a little and felt somewhat better.

You are probably correct about my fluid/water intake. I have been
drinking very little water. I will make a point to consume more water
throughout the day and see if my headache subsides. As far as my intake
of wheatgrass is concerned, going from 1 ounce to 3 in less than a week,
I am going to continue the same dosage but wait more time in between
servings.

You mentioned " . . .the unpleasant body odor leaving . . ." what
exactly did you mean by this? Are you referring to typical b.o. (armpits
and such, I do not mean to be rude) or more? The reason I am asking is
because I use a crystal deodorant and noticed during the last week it
seems less effective.

Thanks so much for your help!!
