Yes, you can mix P&B shakes with almost any detox protocol. In fact, most people don't know it, but psyllium is good for several good things other than colon cleansing. (It's great for lowering chlosterol).

The thing that you'd want to look out for when combining P&B with other protocols...if you don't drink ample water daily PLUS an extra 8-12 ounces with every shake, P&B can be clogging...especially if you're experiencing constipation already. One should never undergo serious "detoxing" (as undergoing 'chelation therapies' that truly dislodge stores of poisons, chemicals, metals from the tissues and throw them into the bloodstream for elimination) when ALL the organs of elimination are not cleansed, flowing and working properly. (Those organs/systems: the digestive tract, liver, kidney and SKIN).

However, depending upon what you're trying to fix/cure, there are easy ways around all that. When taking P&B, if you have a tendency to become constipated even if you ARE drinking all the pure water you need, you can add a good herbal laxative that will keep things moving (and then, still be able to do liver/kidney flushing, etc). Note: herbal laxatives are NOT a substitute for drinking ample water daily when doing P&B shakes. But if you are already drinking enough water and you still experience 'clogging', then that's a good option for consideration. (Herbal laxatives, while much safer & more effective than OTC/Rx laxatives, need to be utilized with normal care & caution. Whenever we put anything in our body that is a "helper", if we don't cure/fix the root cause of the problem, it's easy to become 'dependent' upon the 'helper'...and that's what allopathic medicine does -covers up a symptom with a drug but doesn't heal the problem that caused the symptom- ...and we never want to do that for the long-term).

How much water is enough? Take your body weight, divide it in half, and call that number "ounces" (that's how much water you should drink every day for normal hydration of the body). When taking P&B shakes, you need to drink that much (of course) AND an additional 8-12 ounces with every shake you drink. (For those that tend toward constipation, that needs to be an addition 12-16 ounces with every shake you drink).

One thing that you might also want to consider (because this is a REALLY good tip from somebody that's 'been there done that' for a LONG time! (:::grin:::)...

Smaller 'shakes' 5-6 times daily is always more effective than 1 or 2 big ones. And here's why. Imagine a old garden hose (your intestines) that's been laying in a twisted up pile in the yard for decades...and it's been hooked up to a 'faucet' that's delivered a steady stream of "toxic gunk". One can go out twice everday and put one or two large 'doses' of bulk fiber and clay to absorb the toxins, and try to get it all down in there mixed with water, and add a bit of water a couple of times a day, and sit back and wait for it to 'do it's thing'. Sometimes you'll end up with a bigger clog, other times it will start working pretty good (depending upon your 'garden hose', length of time clogged, density/thickness of layers of junk, etc.).

BUT, if you put in smaller amounts SEVERAL times daily (adding the same amount of water each time), the hose will constantly be in a state of cleansing action (throughout the ENTIRE hose) for the entire day (and night, if you take a small shake right before you go to bed). I learned this from Dr. Schulze , as he has ALL his patients that use IF#2...(his more advanced/effectove blend that includes psyllium & benonite)...take it 5-6 times daily. His instruction now say 5 times, but they used to say 6. We ALWAYS do six daily doses (that works out to about a dose every 2 3/4 hours). A "dose" of IF#2 is one heaping teaspoon in 8 ounces of water, followed by another 8-12 ounces of water. Here's a link to Dr. Schulze s product/ingredients and instructions://www.curezone.org/schulze/herbal_colon_cleanse_1_2.asp
(scroll down the page to Intestinal Corrective Formula #2 by Dr. Schulze


This way, you have a CONSTANT flow of the cleansing fiber & toxin-sponging Bentonite abrading away and sticking to/pulling the layers of mucoid plaque. These small doses are 'doing their thing' and then being washed out, with another dose right behind that one to do IT's thing...a whole lot of times per day! This is a far more effective 'garden hose cleanser' than 1 or 2 great big doses only one or two times daily.

Wowee, I've given you FAR more information than what you'd asked for, but having been around the world of natural healing for decades I sometimes get a bit carried away.
'Hope you find it all to be useful :)
