Agh! just lost my post.
I would be interested in how others determine that for themselves too!
For us, in a nutshell:
-increased energy
-daily bowel movements that have the appearance of the bowels being cleared. Yes, there are some specific things to look for. I googled like crazy medical sites and cleanse sights. I have never been able to go once a day even when I was a baby but I do now
-any chronic skin probs(like rashes, eczema, red pimple like bumps) clear and become sporadic or dont come back, they are no longer constant
-no more bad breath unless it is right after something in particular is eaten
-no more bloating that also lingers. if I bloat, I take clay, and it goes away instead of hanging around all day or having heartburn all night. the body is able to quickly pass the food without anything compacting behind something else to sit until it can be eliminated
Thats what I can think of off the top of my head.
Im having server problems so I better try to post this before I loose my connection again.
