Herbal Detox Program
All of the herbs used are non-toxic, non-habit forming and non-poisonous. The program is designed to cleanse kidneys, bladder, liver, colon and bloodstream. By detoxifying all of these organs in concert, you should feel increased vitality rather than the weakness often experienced with detoxification programs.
Drink lots of water!
The following formulas are encapsulated, dehydrated herbs, therefore they must be ingested with large amounts of water to rehydrate them. Distilled water has been found to enhance the herbs effectiveness by up to 30% over tap or spring water.
A minimum of ten 8oz glasses of water (room temperature is best) should be taken each day to assist flushing of toxins. If heartburn should develop shortly after taking capsules, it just means that you haven't taken them with enough water.
Eat healthfully!
A healthful plan of eating should be adhered to. The ideal would be a mucusless diet consisting of vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts and seeds (avoiding dairy and meat).
Do the best you can! You will develop a comfortable rhythm within a few days.
The program is written in its ideal form in terms of the timing of doses. The important thing to remember is not to stress yourself over the taking of the capsules. This would be counterproductive. Prepare a simplified schedule on an index card and follow it as best you can.
Most of the formulas can be combined except for Barberry LG and Red Clover Combination. Separate their intake by approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Colon 8 Cleanser
It is best to begin with 10days of Colon 8, a powdered formula designed to cleanse and nourish the colon area. This will pave the way for an easier time of detoxification in that the colon will be cleansed and ready to properly perform the function it was meant to do: elimination of waste material from the body.
Follow the directions on the package, replacing the water with half water and half pineapple juice (for flavor). It is best prepared in a screw-top jar, shaken and had immediately, before it has a chance to settle and thicken.
