Well, I guess everyone will have a different opinion Scott. But mine is, it is a bad sign. I would have already stopped it.

The only times I know of that feeling worse is necessary to feel better is:
-Chemotherapy
-Antibiotic therapy (herx die-off reaction)
-Antiyeast therapy (herx die-off reaction)

In my opinion, anything that twists the brain to feeling worse is not cool. And as I am sure you and I could have respectful debates on that, I do not believe one's brain has to be twisted to feeling worse on the journey to healing. In people I've seen get a lot better, that was not the pattern. In people that didn't get a lot better, that was the pattern.

Side effects is a completely different story. Those have to be endured as they diminish. But I don't see what you are experiencing as side effects. Those are direct effects and not good ones.

Just opinion though.
