Situations like this are tricky: there are two possibilities. Either

1) the algae is having a pronounced therapeutic effect, or 2) you are

craving the artificial energy that accompanies

allergic/incompatability reactions - algaes tend to have some really

whacky amino acid ratios. If you try it again, I would reccomend

that you check your pulse before and after placing a little under

your tongue. If your adrenals are in very bad shape, you might not

see a pulse elevation (even there is a reaction), so there are other

ways to assess the presence/absence of reactivity.
