Question 1

Is it possible to get an awakening just from the fish oil and olive oil?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so. As I described in my book, the awakening refers to the drop in propionic acid that occurs after reversing bacterial overgrowth.  This typically occurs within the first 1-2 weeks. There is no evidence that fish oil and olive oil can do that specifically.  Improvements from inflammation reduction by fish oil and olive oil might be noted 4-8 weeks later, and I can see someone referring to this as an awakening. However, this would be just from improvements in brain function and not the elimination of the sedating effects of propionic acid.
