PROPERTIES: This formulation is designed to aid the detoxification and elimination processes. Many of these herbs are what are traditionally known as depuratives or "blood purifiers." They facilitate detoxification via a number of important physiological mechanisms including: removal of toxins from the body tissues; detoxification by the liver; elimination of toxins through the colon, urinary tract and skin. A number of these herbs also provide useful secondary support to the detoxification processes by stimulating the immune response and discouraging the proliferation of micro-organisms and parasites. This formulation is an effective aid in the treatment of any condition that is related to, or aggravated by, some level of internal toxicity. This includes: chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis; rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and gout; inflammatory bowel conditions such as colitis; and auto-immune conditions such as allergies. SUGGESTED USE: 15-30 drops taken in 1-2 ounces of pure water on an empty stomach. This tincture should be taken 2-4 times per day, 15-30 minutes before meals and/or before bed for periods of 6-8 weeks followed by a 1-2 week break. In the case of long-term chronic conditions where there is considerable toxicity, it is best to start with a dose of 5-10 drops and build up slowly until a maximum dose (30 drops) is reached. It should be noted that in the early stages of detoxification a slight aggravation of the symptoms may occur. SUPPORTIVE: In the 20th century, it is unlikely that anyone is free of some significant level of internal toxicity. In general, toxins come from three major sources: (1) the environment, (2) lifestyle, and (3) those that are internally generated, primarily in response to stress. Environmental toxins are difficult to avoid. Anyone with a serious toxicity related health problem should avoid living and working in highly polluted environments. Supplementation with anti-oxidant vitamins may be helpful when exposure to some environmental pollutants is unavoidable. The most important lifestyle factor is diet. It is best to avoid heavily processed foods that contain chemical additives and toxic residues from pesticides, herbicides and related substances. A diet that will contribute the least to toxicity (and the most to detoxification) is one that emphasizes certified organically grown fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Of particular importance are raw fruits and dark green leafy vegetables. Probiotic bacterial supplements containing L. acidophilus and L. bifidus will help to prevent absorption of toxicity through the bowel. For best results they should be used in powder form. Other factors that should be avoided as much as possible are the use of both therapeutic and recreational drugs. A regular exercise program is advisable both as an aid to stress management and as a means of facilitating the elimination of toxins through the skin (via sweating).
