Common questions answered about Natural Cellular Defense Frequently Asked Questions
How many drops should I take to detoxify my body?

Dr. Gabriel Cousens recommends that his clients take a detoxification dose of 10 to 15 drops three times a day for six to eight weeks. This is the initial dosage that most of his adult clients take, and he recommends that they repeat this dose at least twice a year. After six to eight weeks, they switch to a maintenance dose of three to five drops three times per day, increasing the amount if there is a viral, chemical, or other exposure. (See
Guidelines for Using Natural Cellular Defense for dosages and other information.)
 
A small percentage of people are sensitive and experience detoxification symptoms when they start using NCD. To reduce the possibility of that occurring, it is prudent to begin taking a smaller number of drops and build up gradually to the dosage you want to take. For example, if you are a new user and want to begin taking the detoxification dose, start with 3 to 4 drops 3x/day, with water, and gradually increase to 10 to 15 drops 3x/day.
 
I have cancer.  How many drops should I take?
 
For people with any serious health challenges, Dr. Cousens recommends two to three drops per hour. Some oncologists are having excellent results by having their patients take this dosage. If this schedule cannot be maintained, the dosage of 15 drops three to four times a day is recommended.
 
Can I take too much NCD?
 
NCD is very safe and non-toxic, but you are wasting it if you take more than 15 drops at a time. In addition, by taking doses larger than 15 drops, it’s possible to trigger a healing crisis with detoxification symptoms. If you want to increase your dosage, take 15 drops more often – four times rather than three times a day – or take two to three drops per hour.
 
Should NCD be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
 
It appears to work just as efficiently either way. However, it is best taken in an eight-ounce glass of water to help insure adequate hydration throughout the day.
 
Can I take it in coffee or tea?
 
Yes.  The zeolite in NCD is unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900 F.
