Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Dandelion root is illegal. It contains latex, a polysaccharide. <snip> ---Parts Used Medicinally---The root, fresh and dried, the young tops. All parts of the plant contain a somewhat bitter, milky juice (latex), but the juice of the root being still more powerful is the part of the plant most used for medicinal purposes. http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/d/dandel08.html#che Elaine approved black tea, green tea (in moderation I think), and mint tea, all diluted at the beginning of the diet.
