PJ,
If I remember correctly I took the 2 tbsp in the morning on an empty stomach, 
but I don't think it would have mattered.  I tried more but the herx was so 
bad at one point I couldn't even get off a chair without first lowering myself 
to the floor and then pulling myself up. I remember being at a resort and 
figuring that I would go in the jacuzzi and the hot water would ease the pain. 
But 
once in, I couldn't get out!!! My wife helped me "roll" over the top of the 
tub. 
 I just kept cutting back on the dose until I reached a managable herx 
tolerance level. Some pain but nothing I couldn't suffer through. 
The best part was that there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
Hope that helps
Nick
