Re: detox and a success in liver cleansing

[Guest guest]

Since you're discussing an alternative liver detox product, I'll go ahead and

mention the

product I've been using. I have fibromyalgia, and my health stability is

fragile. My

acupuncturist/ND has asked me not to do the olive oil/lemon flush as being too

intense for

me to withstand, and I've come to realize how right he is about that.

The first year to 18 months after I started the iodine protocol I lost 30+

pounds. Then I

gained back about 10 and my weight just sat there. About 3 weeks ago I started

using an

herbal tea product that is having a very good effect and I've been losing weight

again,

happily.

So I just wanted to mention that maybe, for some of the more sensitive/fragile

among us,

there are some other options that might be a place to start detoxing regimens.

The first or

second day I did this I could, ahem, *smell* that stuff was being moved out, but

it hasn't

caused diarrhea, something I really have to be careful of. Also, I'm only

taking 1 cup a day

so far, not two as they recommend. Also, each cup takes 2 teabags. They also

have

another product called EveryDay Detox that has a slightly different recipe,

don't know about

that one, but you might want to compare.

Here it is:

Tradition Medicinals

Lemon EveryDay Detox®

Promotes Healthy Liver Function*

With Organic Burdock Root

Herbal Dietary Supplement

Organic Lemon EveryDay Detox® is an herbal tea used to promote healthy liver

function.*

The use of Organic Lemon EveryDay Detox® for liver protection is based on the

traditional

European use of herbal teas made from burdock, stinging nettle and cleavers.*

Unless

directed otherwise by your healthcare practitioner, drink 2 cups daily, at least

30 minutes

before or after meals. Characteristic tastes of slightly bitter and slightly

sweet, balanced with

pleasantly aromatic citrus from lemon myrtle.

Our local Whole Foods has this on sale right now for almost half off.

,

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm so toxic that I need a gentle approach.

A naturopath told me recently that it was important for me to work on my kidneys first before my liver so that the kidneys could handle the toxins released by the liver. I got a kidney product from her but can't find it anywhere (grr!) so I haven't started yet. I've been saving up info for liver cleansing and this may be my first line of defense.

Thanks,

Beth
