It is possible I guess. It didn't feel like die off though, but it's hard to tell sometimes. You could be right. Or, it could have been from some other healing reaction. However, again, I can usually tell if it is. I know myself pretty well and what symptoms are what (not always of course). Not sure about cinnamon, as I don't have it. I only ever take it if I ever had coffee with milk (which I can no longer have due to bad yeast). So I couldn't tell you what effects it would have.

I used to have tea with milk, honey and cinnamon when I was less unwell and did very well on it. I loved it and it was a great help to my health (believe it or not). But it was not so great when I got severe yeast problems as I have now. So I had to give it up.

Which is the milk and honey! They were the problem (and coffee).

But yeah I really do love the taste of licorice! I sure do. If I can ever have it again, I will. I'm just a little wary if you know what I mean. Right now, I'm not in an experimental mood with my health (doing a course), so I'm too scared to tip the balance anymore than it already is.
