Hi Northgirl, i don't remember how much clay we used, and i checked with my husband who did the mixing and he doesn't remember either... sorry. i don't think it was more than a couple a' cups. ll magnetic clay baths may be able to help with the directions, even though you didn't purchase their particular kit, in case nobody responds on curezone - there's good reading on the site anyhow. there's an 800 number to call. http://www.magneticclay.com/index.php
as far as detox symptoms.... yuck. basically i was mentally distraught for about a week after each bath. i cried, i felt horrible, i felt like i was at the dentist getting a tooth pulled for the entire week. my husband didn't like letting the baths in cuz he knew i'd be distraught afterwards. i did have headaches, but mostly it was this weird emotional/physical pain. i've had bowen treatments, which are supposed to release alot of toxins (more than a normal type massage), and the weird mental/physical pain symptoms were exactly the same as the baths.
