Hello Everyone

“Detoxification”: Everyone is talking about it, but using that word seems to mean entirely different things to different people. To give a few examples there is colon detoxification, liver detoxification, heavy metal detoxification, kidney detoxification, candidal, bacterial and parasite toxin detoxification, respiratory detoxification. And most of all there is blood and lymph detoxification (very closely linked to that, is the concept of cellular detoxification). All of the above interlink to some degree or another. I’ve focussed on colon detox in many previous newsletters, but today it’s the turn of what I regard as our best products for blood and lymph detoxification. This is NOT going to be a comprehensive list of every single detox product we provide, as it’s not possible to discuss all of them in the same newsletter. 

Before I begin, I will just mention however briefly, that we live in a very toxic world. This is something most of you already know, so I am not going to get into that here, other than to say I think that detoxification is not something you do for a week and then conclude “job done”, like it was something to do once in your life, tick it off your list, and move on to another one of the “100 things I want to do before I die”. It’s hard for me to say exactly how long you should use a product for and you have to use a bit of intuition and common sense. But we are continually bombarded by toxins and pollutants, and eradicating them from the body is an ongoing process, rather than something that has an exact beginning, middle and end. 

Walking, running, aerobic exercise in general, and especially trampolining all help with blood and lymph detox. But here are some of my favourite supplement choices for cleansing the blood and lymph…

1. Burdock Formula (“Herbadetox”).

Originally marketed as “Herbadetox”, Burdock Formula is designed to be a full spectrum herbal detox for the blood, liver, kidneys and lymph. It contains Burdock, Dandelion leaf & root, Turmeric, Galangal, Sarsaparilla, Artichoke, Red clover, Parsley leaf & root in a 425 mg blend per capsule, and is totally additive-free, with most of the herbs being wild crafted. It’s a fairly popular product which has had consistently good reviews and we’ve been selling it for a long time. It doesn’t have a snazzy label like the bigger brands we sell, as it’s our own artisan product, and we don’t spend a fortune on marketing, but focus instead on well-priced effective products. But the reviews vindicate our claim that with our own branded products, we know what we’re doing. Here is a super quick breakdown of its individual components (although these one sentence strap lines don’t really do the herbs justice) : –

1. Burdock Root (Arctium lappa)

Burdock is renowned for its blood-purifying properties. It supports the liver and kidneys in filtering toxins from the blood and has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [1]. Its inulin content also supports gut health, indirectly supporting detoxification.

2. Dandelion Leaf & Root (Taraxacum officinale)

Dandelion root acts as a mild laxative and liver tonic, while the leaf is a natural diuretic, aiding in the elimination of toxins through urine. Both parts support bile production and liver function [2], crucial for processing and eliminating waste products.

3. Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Turmeric, rich in curcumin, has well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It enhances liver detoxification enzymes and supports bile flow, helping the liver neutralize and expel toxins [3].

4. Galangal (Alpinia galanga)

Galangal, similar in composition to ginger, has antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. It supports digestion and may enhance the body’s ability to metabolize and remove toxins [4].

5. Sarsaparilla (Smilax spp.)

Traditionally used for skin and hormonal issues, sarsaparilla binds to endotoxins and helps transport them out of the body. It has shown promise as a blood purifier and may support lymphatic drainage [5].

6. Artichoke (Cynara scolymus)

Artichoke promotes bile production and protects liver cells. It supports cholesterol metabolism and helps the body excrete fat-soluble toxins [6].

7. Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)

Red clover is considered a lymphatic cleanser and blood purifier in herbal traditions. Its isoflavones also exhibit antioxidant activity, potentially reducing oxidative stress on detox organs [7].

8. Parsley Leaf & Root (Petroselinum crispum)

Parsley is a mild diuretic, aiding kidney function and fluid balance. It also provides chlorophyll and antioxidants that support systemic detoxification [8].

Synergistic Benefits

When combined, these herbs offer multi-organ support for detoxification:

• Liver stimulation (Turmeric, Dandelion, Artichoke)
• Kidney diuresis (Dandelion leaf, Parsley)
• Lymphatic drainage (Red Clover, Sarsaparilla)
• Circulatory enhancement (Galangal, Burdock)
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support (Turmeric, Red Clover, Burdock)

This synergistic approach may enhance the elimination of metabolic waste, environmental toxins, and inflammatory byproducts, helping to rejuvenate the blood and lymphatic systems.

2. Toxin Binder

More expensive than Burdock Formula and newly introduced by Global Healing to replace their discontinued Heavy Metal and Chemical Binder, Toxin Binder is made as Global Healing put it, With Clean, Pure, Premium Ingredients – 100% Vegan | gluten-free | no additives, fillers, or preservatives, for Comprehensive Detox Support. (All of the above is true of Burdock Formula too – it’s just we haven’t used that specific combination of words on the web page). They go on to state “Every day, we are exposed to microscopic harmful substances through environmental pollutants, personal care products, and household cleaners. While our bodies have a natural filtering process, excessive exposure can cause toxin buildup, leading to various health issues. Our detox support supplement is made with revolutionary ingredients and innovative technology to help you flush out toxins naturally and improve overall organ function”. 

Here are its main contents : –

Ultra-Fine Coconut Activated Charcoal – Coconut Activated Charcoal possesses the ability to bind to and eliminate a wide range of toxins, preventing them from entering the bloodstream.

Himalayan Shilajit – Himalayan Shilajit is a natural resin containing various minerals known for their antioxidant and detoxifying properties.

Superconductive Biophotonic Liquid Gold– Super Conductive Biophotonic Liquid Gold is crafted using only natural elements, free from acids. This remarkable liquid creates a hostile environment for harmful organisms, promoting whole-body wellness. By influencing the unfolding process of harmful protein toxins, Liquid Gold neutralizes them effectively, supporting your overall health.

Organic Freeze-Dried Broccoli Sprouts – Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, which helps flush out toxins naturally by activating phase II detoxification enzymes.

Mulberry Leaf Chlorophyllin – Chlorophyllin, derived from chlorophyll found in green plants, has been extensively studied for its potential to neutralize toxins, free radicals, and inflammatory agents in the body.

3. Lymphatic Detox & Drainage Cleanse

This product comes from Earth Harmony, which is actually a subdivision of Global Healing, who make the Toxin Binder. It’s also a relatively new product, and I think the name of the product pretty much says it all in terms of what it’s designed to do. It consists of Global Healing’s Lymphatic Proprietary Blend of Soursop Concentrated Extract, Cat’s Claw Bark Concentrated Extract, Astragalus Concentrated Extract, Wormwood Extract, Guduchi Concentrated Extract, Dichloroacetate Sodium, Supercharged C60, Methylene Blue, vegetable glycerine, triple distilled water, and trace minerals.

I asked Global Healing to compare and contrast  Lymphatic Detox & Drainage Cleanse and Toxin Binder and they agreed that their roles were similar. However they told me that with Lymphatic detox there was more of an emphasis on helping with defence against abnormal cells that can spread through the lymphatic system than Toxin Binder. You’ll have to read between the lines on what they mean by “abnormal cells” of course. 

4. Manayupa-Pinella

(Note: Low stock, but more arriving around the end of this week).

This product consists of the Amazonian herbs Manayupa (also known as Burbur) and Pinella (also known Pimpinella as well as Anise). Taken together they work synergistically for full body detoxification – but especially of the brain, liver and nervous system.

Here are the main indications for Manayupa

• Anti-inflammatory (support)
• Detoxifying the blood
• Detoxifying the kidneys
• Detoxifying the liver
• Candida Die-Off
• Detoxifying the lymphatic system
• Lyme disease (Herxheimer reaction)

Here are the main indications for Pinella

• Brain detoxification
• Brain fog
• Concentration disturbances
• Liver support
• Lyme disease (removal of neurotoxins)
• Migraine
• Sight disturbances
• Speed of reaction, slow

If you only want one of the two herbs above, we also sell Manayupa and Pinella individually (just type the product name into our search bar).

5. Foreign Protein Cleanse

This product is the “odd man out” as it was formulated specifically to help remove spike proteins that are damaging the body and circulating in the blood and lymph caused by having Covid-19, or those who had covid “vaccinations” (or what I view as worthless experimental poisons) plunged into their bloodstreams. Obviously, it still has general blood detox activity, but with a specific purpose in mind (i.e. removal of harmful spike proteins). Accoring to Global Healing “Spike proteins help viruses enter into cells, which disrupts your health. Foreign Protein Cleanse detoxes the body of spike proteins, which allows the body to repair from within.” It also features a carefully selected mix of ingredients such as Lobelia, Licorice, and Wormwood, traditionally recognized for their immune-boosting properties. Best taken with Nattokinase and / or Serrapeptase wherever there are spike protein concerns. 

As always, I hope this of help to some of you out there

With best wishes
