ARSENIC
11/30/2011: Rebel from Somewhere, Usa: "Well now there is another study saying toxic levels of arsenic are being found in store bought fruit juices. My children have been drinking this stuff for years and I am concerned. I had knew what Dr. Oz had said, sometime ago. But when I checked the manufactors, it did not list the ones I was using. This newest study has the brands my children have been drinking.
I have now stopped the juice, Hopefully Bill can tell me of a safe way to detox my children from the arsenic that they have consumed through the juices.
Also, I use the apple juice / apple cider vinegar for gall bladder attacks.
This just goes to show, that the FDA is not protecting the people as they claim. They first attracted Dr. Oz when he put out his study and now another study is confirming this."
Replies12/01/2011: Jenny from Sydney, Australia replies: "Hi Rebel from somewhere... I am currently seeing a Dr who now specializes in a German Listening Computer that reads your body - heavy metal levels, immune system etc. I had a high level of arsenic and he said one of the main causes of this is from garlic grown in China that is sold in all the supermarkets. I had been eating a lot of raw garlic at night for candida and mold so it rang true. He recommends only eating organic garlic.Incidentally he doesn't recommend organic flour, cereals or nuts as he says a lot of them have molds as they haven't been sprayed. Hard to tell which is better - the poisonous sprays or the molds! The more I read and learn the more confused I get. Thank you everyone for your posts - I am learning so much. All the best."
12/01/2011: Lily from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia replies: "Hi Rebel, I think that it is the apple juice that is made in China that has arsenic in them. Dr Oz said there are only traces of arsenic in them but if you drink it twice a day every day then this would add up to a substantial amount. He said he would give his kid's apple juice but only every once in a while. Maybe once a week I would assume. Lily."
12/01/2011: Bill from San Fernando, Philippines replies: "Hi Rebel... There is an easy way to detox arsenic. Much has already been said on the usefulness of Sodium Thiosulfate(ST) on this site for detoxing heavy metals. But ST is also used by the medical profession to help recover people suffering from both cyanide and arsenic poisoning by removing these substances from the body safely. You can buy this online or you can simply go to an aquatics shop and buy the ST there(where I got my ST). Usually it is sold as a 10% solution and is mainly used to remove chlorine from fish tanks because chlorine is highly poisonous to fish. The dosage is 8 to 10 drops in a glass of water(half this dose for children). ST is tasteless and easy take. But when you take ST for the first time it is likely that you will have diarrhea initially -- but this is only due to the ST flushing out heavy metals initially from your intestines and this normally only ever happens once -- it depends on the extent of heavy metals absorption in your body at the time. When I first took ST, I never had diarrhea so it doesn't always happen.My own detox strategy, since I regard buying organic food as impossible where I am living now, is therefore completely defensive and preventative. So it becomes necessary for me to detox myself continuously against heavy metals, halogens, pesticides and all the rest. For this I simply use alkalizing, lugol's iodine, ST, Vitamin C and fulvic/humic acid as my basic strategy and I also support my liver(which is the main detoxing organ of the body) and kidneys using Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, Milk thistle and Chanca Piedra. This liver support greatly stimulates Glutathione production in the liver, which aids in detoxing and purifying the blood. I also alkalize regularly and drink green tea quite often and I eat cilantro in salads several times a week which all helps to remove heavy metals and helps to balance calcium in the body."
02/28/2012: Tiffany from Forsyth, Ga replies: "I saw the Dr. Oz episode about arsenic in apple juice too. It was apples from China and South America. I started buying my child Indian Summer brand apple juice. It is made only from U.S. apples."

BENTONITE CLAY
Ratings:
|
[YEA] 11/15/2011: Hb from Spokane, Wa: "I wanted to add something that I had not read in the comments.
I did an external detox that worked very well instead of taking it internally.
What I did was use one teaspoon in a plastic bowl with enough filtered water to more than cover the dry clay, swished it around a bit, put it the window sill in the sun for 2 hours to charge the clay. Next, I 'massaged' the clay with my fingers to get the clumps to become creamy. Once done, it was ready to use.
This may seem unorthodox, but the plastic bags you get at the grocery store come in handy for this detox. I do this in the evening an hour or two before bed, as this detoxes the body while I sleep.
Make sure your feet are clean and apply the clay all over your foot up to the ankle, between the toes, even under the toenails. You should have enough clay to apply 3 coatings to each foot. When you finish with one foot, put on a plastic bag, tie it gently above the ankle and pull the bag forward to allow ample toe room and gently slip your foot into sandals or slippers without ripping the bag in the toe area. Do the other foot the same way.
It will feel slippery, so be careful when you walk around. (Do not walk around with just the bags on your feet, they may tear and allow air to get in and dry out the clay before it can be absorbed).
Drink some water before bed and leave the bags on your feet until morning. Take off the bags and before getting into the tub use a warm moist washcloth to clean the bottom of your feet. (The clay under your feet can be very slippery! )
Keep in mind, if/when you urinate in the morning, if it worked well for you, it may look orange, (much darker than you are use to). That is toxins that were taken out through your system in the absorbtion process during the night.
Never do a facial more than 15 minutes after the clay dries or essential oils will take some time to return and you may get a dry and unnatural tight feeling in your facial skin. If that happens, you can use organic coconut oil to ease the tight feeling and reduce redness. Or use something natural that you feel comfortable with.
I wrote this note so that those having problems ingesting FOOD GRADE Bentonite clay have options for detoxing."

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
10/29/2011: Nancy from Colorado Springs, Co Usa: "I was exposed to exhaust fumes inside my car and was sick off and on for 3 weeks. I have stopped driving the car (last Wed was last time) but still feel ill off and on. I've been doing hydrogen peroxide footbaths and inhaling, coconut oil and ACV daily. Do I need to go get oxygen therapy at a doctor's or will these symptoms go away now that I'm not driving it?"
Replies10/29/2011: Rsw from Uniontown, Oh replies: "Good luck trying to get any help from a doctor, unless you went to the emergency room immediately after exposure. I was subjected to lethal levels of CO at work when the furnace behind my office developed a crack. We had a person who had a machine to check the air quality and he had repeatedly said the gas was high. I couldn't even imagine that it was CO and with full knowledge, no one was called in. Only the doors were opened until it cleared temporarily. I kept thinking I had the flu and felt sick every evening, but by morning I felt better and went back to work.One night I figured it out, called the air quality guy at home and asked him if it was CO that he was measuring and he said yes. I called my Dr. and they wouldn't even give me an appointment. Told me evening appts. were for people with on-going illnesses, like headaches. I told them I would wait for my turn but said they had nothing available. Went to another dr and was told all they would do at the emergency room was give me oxygen and that is what I had been doing all along (I guess she meant I had been breathing).
It was obvious to me that CO poisoning was taboo to the doctors, maybe OK at the ER. I asked if I should have my brain, heart or liver checked for damage and that was a no, too. I have never filed any lawsuit in my life, have good insurance so it had to be the Drs unwillingness to get involved with any possible workers comp patient. I finally bought a CO monitor and put it in my office. It went off at very high readings and finally someone was called to fix the furnace. It was never my intention to hurt the company but I would have liked to have gotten checked out for my own peace of mind."

CHEMICAL FLUSHES
06/14/2011: Elly from Topeka, Kansas: "I was buying BPA free plastics but I read that tests on those plastics revealed that 90% of them contain different estrogen mimicking chemicals. I look at the many supplements I own that come in plastic containers BPA and BPA-free. Do I switch them to tinted glass bottles? How much is absorbed into the supplement by the time I get it? I've also come to find BPA is in recycled toilet paper and contact lenses and the plastics of eyeglasses and lots of other things. Does anyone know what can we do to flush these chemicals out of our body since we probably can't be 100% free of them? Thanks.

CHLORINE, FLUORIDE
12/14/2011: Tula from Tampa, Fl: "Hello TED. Im 40 and I'm no different than the rest. I'm going to start using borax myself. But my bigger concern is my 4 yrs old son. I cannot afford filter for fluoride removal from water. So I figured I can give him borax to detox fluoride. but he is so young. Is it going to be ok same amount I consume? And the magnesium supplement for him? Plus he likes taking baths. But I smell the chlorine in the water besides he has mild eczema. How do I make the bath water safer for him besides using filter (like I said he likes to fill up the tub, cannot afford replacement filters.) I came cross seaweed is detox almost most chemicals and heavy metals from water. Do you have any info on this? Or baking soda or something what do you think? Thank you soo much in advance."
Replies12/23/2011: Sheila from San Diego, Ca replies: "Hi Tula from Tampa,We don't have the funds now to purchase a whole-house water filtration system, and for our son's baths I used Epsom salt, fresh lemon slices/juice and Borax or Baking Soda to counter the chlorine/chloramine and flouride. There were no ill effects from using 1-2 cups of E salt (1 cup if I wanted our son to stay awake the rest of the day, or 2 cups for relaxation), juice from 1/2 a small lemon and a slice or two floating in the water, and one tablespoon of Borax or Soda. I made sure the Borax or Soda was completely dissolved before he climbed in. He didn't have a bath every day--every other day or two suited him, and me. If you do the same, make sure you're son understands not to swallow the bath water--E. salt encourages bowel movements.
Our son doesn't take many baths now since I purchased a filtering showerhead, but when he does, I do fill the tub through the showerhead. Unfortunately the filter doesn't filter fluoride. A chemist friend told me that the fluoride particulate isn't small enough to penetrate and be absorbed by the skin. I don't know if I believe this completely though. He did continue to say that it is the steam that should be a concern. Use cold or lukewarm water and use the bathroom fan.
I have my son drink water w/lemon before and after bathing these days, to help flush his system.
HTH,
Sheila"
02/15/2012: Nadia from Ajax, Ontario replies: "Regarding chlorine / chloramine removal. I use a shower filter with vitamin c in it to dechlorinate the water. They also sell vitamin c dechlorinating tablets for bath water - I've found 100 for under $19 and you only need to use a 1/2 tablet per bath. There are also dechlorinating bath balls on the market which last a yr before replacement crystals req'd. I've seen 2 kinds - one attaches onto your faucet (looks like a small round bucket) & water passes thru, but I hear water pressure makes it come off/water flows over filter and is not treated. The other is like a caged ball you swish thru bath water. Note -any bath products should be added after water has been treated-not during or before. I hope this helps."
04/15/2012: Had from White River Jct, Vermont replies: "Sodium Thiosulfate detoxes and neutralizes chlorine and I believe flouride. I take the chrystals on the 'off borax' days; and when my water gets bleached (not by me! ) I through the STh into the bath water. hope this helps."

COLON CLEANSE
08/09/2011: Julie from Gainesville, Fl: "I do 20 minutes oil pulling with organic virgin coconut oil first thing in the morning. I brush my teeth, dissolve 1 TB baking soda in 2 TB ACV, add 8 oz. Purified water and drink. From 30 to 60 minutes thereafter I purge anywhere from 1 to 3 lbs of foul water from my bowels. I feel like crap (sorry) during this time, but then I feel really good, and this doesn't happen again all day. My routine is just as I described; I'm not eating anything to provoke this reaction. It feels like detox and smells like detox (sorry! ) sometimes skunky / sulphery odor. I figure it's better out than in :P Any feedback or similar experience?"

EC: Hi Tammy,

[YEA] 09/02/2011: Dede from London, Ont., Canada: "In response to the Detox with DE, I can personally say that after 2 weeks on DE I feel great, it has detoxed me and is working on my energy level as well as some other ailments I suffer with. I found the first few days I was going to the bathroom more frequently.... But that only lasted a short time.... this product is amazing, I use it everywhere, for insects, in my garden, and around my home...."

DE will chelate.When I took DE for the first time to cleanse, I immediately had a metallic taste in my mouth, at first I thought it was the taste of the DE, but I did some reading and found information on DE's chelation properties. I have since had my fillings removed, so I'm interested in trying DE again."

The next day I felt only mildly different, not negatively. But looking in the mirror I said ok, no makeup today. My eyes were stunningly 'nice', I usually put a touch of liner, and usually darken my brows. Small touches. So I left it at just using moisturizer, and went out. A woman and I were chatting and eventually she said "you're so beautiful'. I tell you this because I had not heard this in decades, and it was day 1, following use of DE. The down side for me is that on the 2nd, 3rd day I am a bit constipated...."

My question is about the human consumption of food grade diatomaceous earth. I've been reading some very impressive feedback on its use, however I am sceptical. Has anyone tried it for detox or any other reasons? Thank you."

I was interested if you got any feedback on diatomaceous earth I have been diagnosed with chronic pain and I can't walk I am so stiff unless I take pain med. I will try anything. I am only 62.

07/17/2011: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi LCC,My heart goes out to you as I had the same thing happen to me 7 years ago. It took me over a year to recover. I went through Chinese medicine w/ herbs and acupuncture. Still, it was a long path but I did not use any pain medication or go on any pharmaceutical drugs. Though it was a long journey I believe that we went to the core of the problem rather than masking w/ all sorts of drugs which is typical of Western medicine although naturopaths are doing some amazing work out there now! So, perhaps you want to look into Traditional Chinese medicine or naturopathy. Of course, these are only suggestions for there are many paths to the destiny I am sure. The best to you, Lisa"

I resisted these as poison until I was told either try them or I could not get my pain medications refilled. Very harsh... But the results are real. I haven't been this pain free since 1995.

[YEA] 06/24/2011: Diamond from Salisbury, Usa: "I buy a huge bottle of green tea with ginseng & honey, I also gargle with salt, tea tree oil and warm water, it had to be a snap choice as my mouth felt and tasted like a cotton ball riding a garbage truck, my food tasted bad or no taste at all.
I also take cell food and colloidal silver, I'm hoping whatever I am doing is slowly working.
I read where most wheat has mycosis which is mold, chickens eat a lot of this and get mycosis then we eat chickens, maybe a lot of other animals as well.
I also plan on trying Ted's remedies. I need all the help I can get. I hope to start a program like Montel's program of juicing my own veggies/fruits etc. I have been doing whatever is easy or quick, I gave up red meat where I cheated last week an got a negative feeling body wise.
so I hope to keep trying. I know there is hope & keep trying.Thanks/Peace""

FENUGREEK

[YEA] 05/28/2011: Kathie from Houston, Texas/ Usa: "I first got turned on to Fenugreek at the Optimum Health Institute (outside Austin, Texas), where I try to go a couple of times a year for a week at a time for several days of juice fasting, ''sandwiched" by several days of raw, organic meals and all the wheatgrass one could consume!
Fenugreek (according to OHI's literature) is a blood purifier, it cleanses the liver, kidney, and pancreas, it soothes mucous membranes and reduces inflammation.
1 tablespoon of fenugreek (sprouted) (again according to OHI's literature) contains: 2.55 grams protein, 6.47 grams carbs, minerals: K, P, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Se, vitamins: C, B3, B1, B2, B9, A, and it has 2.73 grams of fiber.
I must say that sprouted fenugeek tastes great! I have heard that the tea is not so pleasant...
OHI used a lot of sprouted fenugreek during our days of the food detox portion. I have heard that it is also very good for the lungs.
BTW, my boobs never got any bigger since I have brought this into my regular diet.
Also remember, sprouted seeds have much more nutrients than the grown plant (per weight)."
Replies06/01/2011: Elsaeasterly from Elsewhere, Ca, Usa replies: "Do you eat the sprouts raw or do you cook them? Do you use seeds from the supermarket spice section?"
06/07/2011: Kathie from Houston, Texas/ Usa replies: "I order my seeds online in bulk. I eat them raw. (more nutrient rich that way) I do not sprout them like I do Alfalfa. Alfalfa, I soak for about 10 hours then rinse and drain 2-3 times a day for about a week, keeping covered until the last few days. Fenugreek, I start out the same as Alfalfa, but I only let them sprout for a couple of days, letting the "tail" grow only about an eigth of an inch. They taste very nutty and the texture is like a sprouted grain (it has good "chew").BTW, I had posted this to go under the Fenugreek catagory for remedies and several people had said that fenugreek makes your boobs get bigger. Now that I see my post under detox remedies, it looks a little funny reading that part... Just wanted to share my experience :-)"

FOOD SUPPLY
12/11/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia : "I read this article from the Mercola site. It is a must that everyone reads it. From the article it seems that what is being sprayed onto our crops and especially the GM crops has the potential to destroy our gut flora.
Seeing as many of our kids have damaged gut flora I wonder if there is a connection.
It also points out how bad soy is (it being a GM crop). I note that Ted mentioned the other day that Soy was getting a bad rap. I hope Ted reads this article and recognises how bad Soy is. Maybe where he is foods and drinks are not being made from the GM soy.
The article also states that cows are now becoming more infertile because of the food supply; something we should all be worried about for our children's future. As they say "knowledge is power".

01/08/2012: Cheryl from Alexandria, Va: "Hi, I am a big supporter of Earth Clinic and recommend the community to all of my friends and family. I have a quick question for Ted or whomever may know.
Once you stop consuming foods that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) how long does it take for HFCS to cycle out of your body? Is there a way chelate or remove it from your system?
Thanks in advance for your responses and have a wonderful day!"
Replies01/10/2012: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Cheryl, the fructose that your body doesn't burn during digestion, is converted into triglycerides and stored in fat tissue; this is why high fructose corn syrup can cause obesity.To remove the triglycerides take lots of B vitamins. B-100 2 or 3 times daily. To further enhance energy production you can add any or all these nutrients: DMG, CoQ10, ALA. To increase thermogenesis, use caffeinated coffee or tea; along with some cardio, this should burn those stubborn fats."

12/06/2011: Just Me from In The Australian Bush, Australia: "Due to having been exposed to 2-4D and DIazinone as a kid, and industrial polution, I have chronic health issues, and I can no longer breath in a city... Even a small town leaves me very ill all the time. We live in a world that is now so toxic that even Polar Bears above the Artic circle, have birth defects from polution. No great wonder those of us who lived in big cities, or agriculotural areas with lots of sprays, are sick... and mostly sterile.
The thing I find very useful about this is the relationship between what we eat and breath, our oral health and the rest of the bodies health.
NOW A RANT
Eating poison food, dousing ourselves in toxic water, breathing toxic air, is hurting all of us. The chlorine in the water creates dioxins when it hits plant matter.. And it kills *US*... Chlorinated water nbo longer kills giardia or crypto and it casues cancer, spina-biffida, miscarriage by failure to implant and serios mood swings (panic attacks and suicidal ideation). Using toxic self care products every day (our soaps, our shampoos, our toothpastes, and make-ups, etc) is contributing in a big way as well... Making the people of the first world very very sick.
When I was a kid ALMOST NOBODY got cancer. Now we are *all* expected to get it at least once. Pollutants are very often oestrogenic and xeno-estrogens MAKE CANCER CELLS GROW AND DIVIDE (a tumor will grow in a plastic petro dish, just from the plastic).
Less than 3% of these changes can be attributed to genetic changes in humans, and the rest is all environmental. Almost none of what is left (97%) is the result of any new micro-organisms. We are doing it to ourselves.... It is being done to us "for our convenience".
A toxic body makes for a sick bowel with bad flora, and a mouth filled with sub-clinical infections (which can poison the entire body) and which the body cannot fight until the body is not toxic anymore.
TERMINOLOGY
All that said... If we want people in the medical world to take us seriously, and not disregard all we say, then we honestly need to use terms that make sense in science, and know something about the natural world.
Bacteria reproduce by CELL DIVISION. They do not have embroyos.
They also have the ability to share genetic information with one another directly (rather like having an elephant borrow a few useful genes from a rat and passing them on to the next generation).
BUT...they do not have embryos.
I do believe that this method can have very real positive effects.
I do believe that it could get essential oils and other substances into the body (sublingual is a good route).
I do believe that it could seriously help in the removal of toxins and heavy metals, with a positive effect on overall health and be wonderful for chronic health problems that standard western medicine cannot treat at this point (although they are great at sewing things up, they are horrible at all chronic health issues).
I intend on experimenting with this soon, as I have serious problems with my mouth health."

11/16/2011: Robert Henry from Ten Mile, Tn Usa : "HI U GOOD PEOPLE DOIN, , , , , , , , ,
Thought I'd be smart when I reached 65 and that did not happen. Set next goal at 75 which is in a few weeks. I got my doubts about that number too.
Anyways, let me ramble a bit about what I have learned. Several years ago a dear friend had a stroke and was paralyzed and put into a nursing home. I had never been to a nursing home. I had never seen folks is such shapes. I was shook. I do not want to go out that way. I started to read and did a hair test to see what bad stuff I got into my body. I was loaded with heavy metals and started on a crude detox program. The program did have some good points in that it had flushing Niacin to dilate your capillaries and bentonite to flush out stuff in you innards.
Next we found an anti aging doctor and got into quality supplements and also hormone modulation. Next, I built a custom Far infrared Sauna. Then we began detox baths using Epsom Salt, Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Then I learned of GSE and started using that to keep my nose from becoming a mushroom factory. We bought a juicer and started juicing and we also bought an alkaline water ionizer. We garden and raise our own veggies and fruit and berries. Then we learned of DHEA Chelation and got into that. The pluggage in my corroded arteries went from 50% to 10% so don't tell me that chelation does not work.
I learned that all our vegetable oils now come from genetically modified crops because I personally called Con Agri and they told me that all their Canola Oils are from altered plants. They now no longer use the word Modified because it is not P.C. So here is what we do now.... First we use virgin olive oil and next virgin Coconut oil and last we use Hog lard that I render myself. Every year I buy about 10 # of leaf lard from the local slaughter house and render it in a crock pot on our back stoop. It makes the most beautiful white lard you have ever seen. Now the store bought stuff is hydrogenated and all sorts of bad stuff. This lard is what my gand paw made and he lived to be 90.
We have also done the parasite cleanse and even bought a zapper. We just had a CEDSA test and we got parasite and virus problems we had no clue. That's where we are now. The tester even picked up that I had had a vaccine shot for shingles when my wife came down with it and almost lost her eyesight. I am convinced that Hulda Clark was ahead of her time. I read her book and believe in her.
We do lots of stuff that Earth Clinic folks believe in. We spray our throat every morning with hydrogen peroxide and we don't have the flu or colds, but we also don't shake hands at church starting in October. We do the lemon, ACV, baking soda tonic every morning along with a couple of drops of iodine. I spray my knee with hydrogen peroxide every morning and am good to go. It was treated for a year by MD's with no help.
After our Thanksgiving feast with younguns we will start our 10 day liver and lymph detox limited fast which includes 3 days of crucifers and concludes with a liver flush. This rids you of all the stones in your liver and gall bladder. This year we are adding a week of coffee enemas. All this time we will be doing mineral baths and saunas.
Hell to get old and living on borrowed time. Your strength is your mind, read and learn. Quit asking for a quick fix for there is none.

10/19/2011: Jil from Hendersonville, Tn: "Do I need to do a liver/kidney/colon cleanse if I am in my 50's and feel healthy? I take meds for hypothyroidism due to Graves and RAI, and more meds for menopause."
Replies10/20/2011: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Jil, if you are serious about not getting cancer, and living a long, healthy life, it is only prudent to do the cleanses as our environment is so toxic nowadays. The body has not sufficient alert system for many diseases for many people. You may look fine, feel fine, then 1 week later nearly dead from some underlying chronic condition that's been eating away at your defenses."

[YEA] 01/11/2012: Isis from St.louis, Missouri: "I have heard & read that, if you drink grapefruit juice, it slows down the effects of many drugs, if not neutralizing them entirely. As it was over a year ago since I read the book that I got this info from, I do not recall the name of the article. But I heard this exact same info on the DR. OZ show either in October or November of 2011."

[YEA] 08/27/2008: Brian from Wendouree/Ballarat, Victoria/Australia: "When 7 years old, I nearly died with nepthritis [ kidney disease ]. At 39 year old, the pain in that area made me almost weep and it needed to be stopped. I felt something inside said to fast, take only lemon juice and eat "raw" comfrey - I did this from 4.00 pm friday until lunch time sunday and I have never had a pain there since and I am now 68years old. "I thank God for Comfrey" - since then I have spoke to people who have also been set free of disease in the kidneys through comfrey and its healing "alantoin". I only ate about 7 hand sized leaves over 3 days."

LIVER AND KIDNEY CLEANSE

06/14/2011: Jeff from Mckinney, Texas, United States: "What is the best way to cleanse the liver and kidneys and do I need to do it in certain order? I've read to cleanse the kidneys first then the liver but it seems the things Bill & Ted (Yes, we're on an Excellent Adventure -- sorry, couldn't resist! ) recommend are kind of a dual cleanse. Here's what I am thinking:
1) Chanca Piedra - 1000mg 2x a day at meals; OR
2) 2x a day at meals: Alpha Lipoic Acid - 300mg, Selenium - 200 mcgs, and Milk Thistle - 1000 mgs.
Where does Cat's Claw or Heart Vine come into play here? Is there any need to do a parasite cleanse first? I've never done any type of cleanse before so don't know what to expect or even if I need to do it."
Replies06/15/2011: Jeff from Mckinney, Texas replies: "I haven't received any feedback so I decided to go it on my own. I went to WholeFoods and it just so happens that someone ordered a StoneBreaker (Chanca Piedra) extract and never picked it up. It's in liquid form and contains StoneBreaker herb, Hydrangea root, Celery seed, and Burdock seed. Directions say to take one dropper in a full glass of water 3 times/day. I'm starting with this and I am also going to take 1000mg of Milk Thistle with my evening meal.I will also be taking Vitamins E, C, and D3 along with some Cholorphyll for additional support. I will report back and let you know the outcome."
09/12/2011: Jen from Bozeman, Mt, Us replies: "Hi Jeff, I was just wondering how the cleanse worked out? I have been researching Chanca Piedra and wondering how effective it is. I would love to get your feedback and see how you are feeling now? Thanks!"
[WARNING!] 02/25/2012: Dmg from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania replies: "Be careful with milk thistle - if you are allergic to ragweed you'll be allergic to milk thistle, and it's very itchy way to find out!"

LIVER DETOXIFICATION
08/02/2011: Jeri from Murphy, Tx: "For Liz in Irving Tx
I am wanting to know how much olive oil and how much lemon juice in your cocktail. Do you need a specific olive oil or lemon juice as in real lemon or juice in a bottle?"
Replies08/03/2011: John from Plymouth, Ma replies: "The protocal for the drink is to liquify a whole lemon in a blender (skin and all) and add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil... Drink in one or two servings... Liquified skin and all... Take seeds out of lemon first then dice up lemon in small pieces before liquifying...John from Plymouth"
09/17/2011: Sahd from Gwent, Uk replies: "How often do you have to take this - just the once or daily?"

LIVER DETOXIFICATION: ACV, CRANBERRY, LEMON

[YEA] 06/24/2008: Michelle from Houston, TX : "I take a daily concoction of 1 tsp ACV, 4 ounces of unsweetened cranberry juice, 12 ounces of water, and half of a squeezed lemon. It's part of an eating plan and it's said to help cleanse the liver. All I know about it after seven days is that I feel generally better. I am prone to UTI's so the cranberry is definitely helping, and I've lost 4 pounds in eight days. (Of course, I'm following a prescribed plan of eating all natural foods and eating every three hours). It's a bitter drink, but I'm still drinking it!"
