UPDATE :
Date: October 31, 2008
Illness: Herpes Simplex (occasionally appears on lips as tiny blisters)
Current Dose: 15 Drops twice a day.
I decided I could probably handle jumping from 11 drops to the 15 drop dose twice a day. I took the 15 drops tonight and am totally fine.
I can't stress enough how having a meal 20-30 minutes before the dose really helps.

I have used Oatmeal (Plain, no sugar) and it has worked fantastic for me.
