i just got back on the CS wagon after being off of it for years.

Husband and i both have long standing chronic illness. Just made my first batch 
of CS after a few years and we've been taking some and holding it in our mouths 
for 3 minutes and then swallowing

Can we slowly sip throughout the day or just take 2-3X a day or is there a 
preferred method for those with chronic illnesess? 

Also-- how much to take per day? 1/2 a cup? is 1 cup too much? 

Thanks!
Susie
