I usually get constipated with any type of pills but I need to try the fibroid formula and a good Multi Vitamins. Any thoughts? The fibroids have blocked my colon so I get constipated. They are like 4 months in size.

If you take the Fibroid Formula and the Electric Greens, in addition to Bowel Motion Formula you may not become constipated. Herbs do not cause constipation. Take the Bowel Motion every night before going to bed and the other formulas during the day (morning and noon). We also do offer a Multi-Vitamin that you can use to support your overall health.

You have products that have Kelp as the ingredient. I have Graves Disease which is a hyperthyroid disease. Could you recommend another product that does not have Kelp to help clean my system?

Our Blood and Lymphatic Formula does not contain kelp. Most of our formulas do not contain kelp. However, natural and organic kelp will not harm you due to your thyroid condition. It is only unnatural, synthetic man-made kelp that would be a problem to you. Natural kelp may actually help you and your condition.

I'm a 53 year old African Male. I have changed my diet recently eliminating meat (fish not included). Consequently I feel sluggish and in need of energy. What recommendation do you have? Also, what is the difference between a Full body Cleanse and the Male Cleanse product? Are they comparable? Finally, Will the Anti-V product work for body fungi i.e., jock itch? Thank You for your response.

The difference between the Full Body Cleanse and the Male Cleanse is the Male Cleanse primarily helps cleanse the men's sexual reproductive system, while the Full Body Cleanse intends to purify and strength all eliminative channels in the body. You will notice your energy improving while you are on the cleanse. Once you're done cleansing, you can start on the Energy formula.

I have used many of your products - the Full Body Cleanse, the Female Cleanse, and I completed the Respiratory Cleanse last month. I felt great during the cleanse; when I got off of it, I didn't feel that I was eliminating as easily or consistently. I had purchased the Intestinal Cleanser and the Bowel Motion and started taking them together in the evenings, but I missed a few days due to travel. I noticed that I felt horrible during the days that I was taking it (and felt better when I was off of it).....my stomach felt bloated and cramped and I had headaches and low energy. I am wondering if the combination is too strong for me. Do you recommend taking only the Bowel Motion, or are you supposed to take both? Is it possible that I have a digestion problem? I also had purchased the Thyroid herbs. Is it okay to take those at the same time, or should I wait?

You were experiencing healing crisis, which can be unpleasant; but your body doesn't care. It just wants to heal itself. I suggest you take these herbs at night right before you go to bed (which is the best time to do so anyway). Make sure that you are taking the Thyroid formula during the day.

I finished my FBD yesterday. Is it normal to find it hard to eat foods that I used to eat? Things like meat, fish, etc...I don't have that much appetite somehow. Is this normal? I am thinking about doing Female Cleanse in a week or so. My question is how many times do I need to cleanse my body? I understand it is depend on person but I need to find out.

We would recommend to incorporate as many of the raw foods you ate during your cleanse into your diet post-cleanse. Try to find a balance with healthy, nutrient-dense foods. A person can cleanse 3-4 times per year to cleanse their bodies of any impurities acquired due to lifestyle and environmental factors.

How often should one eat cook food? I'm a vegan, I do not consume any meat, seafood, milk what so ever. I eat watercresses like everyday so as cook food. Like white rice with black bean sauce, spinach, and pasta at time's I'll eat some Chinese fried rice, veggie roll, steamed vegetables, any advice?

You can eat cooked food as much as you like. However, try to incorporate as many nutrient-dense raw foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, into your diet to make sure you are receiving an adequate amount of nutrients.

What can I use for bad gums?

Using Carbon (Activated Charcoal) is a great way to whiten your teeth. Purchase our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual for healthy recipes and guidelines and suggestions for your post-cleanse.

I have a very irritating rash under my breast and under my armpits. This started about a week ago. I have been using aloe. It appears to be getting worse. This rash is raw in some areas. I have never experienced anything like this before. What can I use?

We suggest you apply our Female Breast Oil and Oxy-Oil to the rash. Perform one of the special baths/soaks utilizing sea salt (found in the Full Body Cleanse Companion). Stop using harmful antiperspirants. Use an all-natural deodorant. You may also want to think about performing the Female Cleanse sometime in the near future.

I started my Full Body Cleanse program yesterday and this morning I stopped into Jamba Juice to get a wheatgrass shot. I also got a pomegranate juice, strawberry, peach and mango drink with a mega green tea boost...I drank maybe about 4 oz of the drink and trashed it. I had the worst headache I've ever experienced in my life! Was it from the sugar in the juice? They claim to be all-natural or was it from the fasting? Would you recommend this establishment for those seeking to get their body clean?

Jamba Juice does have Full Body Cleanse aprroved options. But you have to be careful under which category you order from. Because fruits naturally contain sugar, having too much can cause headaches. Focus on fruits low in sugar and make sure you are eating them during the day.

My friend is a young black man; age 31. He is highly STRESSED OUT on his job and has been experiencing patches of HAIR LOSS all through out his head. He went to see a doctor and is now taking some sort of medicine with steroids in it. I believe you can advise him on a more natural way (DHERBS) to control his STRESS & HAIR LOSS problem.

Consider supplementing with MSM, Hair, Skin, & Nails, Nerves Formula, and/or the Anti-Stress Inhaler. These products should greatly help with the mentioned symptoms your friend is experiencing. The stress is contributing to the hair loss.
