How long can the awakening last?

The positive aspects of the awakening (improved eye contact and awareness) should last as long as excessive propionic acid is no longer being released into the bloodstream. The occasional negative effects of the awakening (insomnia, hyperactive, aggression) generally only last for a few days to a few weeks and then begin to resolve. If the negative effects of the awakening do not dissipate, and there is evidence of chronic pain or infection, especially from the teeth, then I assume the overgrowth of intestinal bacteria is not fully effective, and the balancing regimen needs to be increased.
