I think some of the objection to your statement, John, is just that it's a little bit too broad. There seems to be a threshold below which even daily use will have no perceptible effect on flora. What it is varies widely among individuals and products, of course. Certainly an ounce a day of some 10 ppm product isn't going to do much to harm. There is nothing wrong with cutting back to a gulp or two per week, or using on an as-needed basis as you suggest. I personally think keeping a low level available to the body is not a bad idea, though. Larger doses ought to be accompanied by probiotics (taken at a different time of day), or at least followed up with a deliberate effort to repopulate the gut. I disrupted my flora once early on, using large amounts of a primitive, large particle, high strength brew. It ended up interfering with calcium absorption, which, apparently, is facilitated by certain gut bacteria. I started to get extensive aches and pains in large muscle groups. After figuring out what was happening, I had my wife buy some calcium supplemented orange juice from the store as a quick way to get some into me. After only a couple of cups worth of it, the pain stopped. That was an interesting learning experience. Be well! Mike D.
