Activin
process Grape Seed Extract Grape seed extract is one of the
so-called "super antioxidants." Activin process is one where the
grape seed is extracted using non-toxic chemicals. A number of
manufacturers use this patented process. Natrol makes one that is commonly
available. It contains 50mg of grape seed extract per capsule. NSI makes a 200mg product that is a better value. One of the actions of grape seed extract is preserving vitamins E and C in the body, so it makes sense to first ensure the adequate consumption of these, then worry about additional antioxidants such as grape seed or turmeric (curcumin) extract.
1 capsule provides
Grape Seed Extract (ActiVin®)(standardized to 80% phenolic and 75% oligomer polyphenol)(seed) 200 mg |

This product is no longer available! Description is still provided for archival purposes. See Source Naturals Proline Lysine for a similar product.
Alacer Pro-Lysine
Ascorbs - Good formula for providing the proline and lysine along
with vitamin C that Rath and the Pauling Institute claim control and may reverse
artherosclerosis and arterial plaque (see Vitamin
C section). Rather expensive (but not nearly as much as Rath's proline
lysine vitamin C product) unless purchased at a good discount,
there are other proline/lysine combinations that can be taken with sufficient
vitamin C to provide the same benefit, although this one is convenient. See the Vitamin C section for more details.
Formula: Each tablet provides:
Vitamin C (as calcium magnesium ascorbate)...500mg...833%
L-Proline Amino Acid...250mg
L-Lysine Amino Acid...250mg  |

Tri-Salts are carbonates and bicarbonates of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Powder
form only, but cheap at around $8 per 200g. Best supplement for
immediately reducing digestive tract acidity (address the cause, though, don't
keep using alkaline agents for it long term). Can help to maintain an
alkaline enviroment in the body if needed. Can be mixed with ascorbic acid
in water to make mineral ascorbates. Some people say
this is one of the best supplements to reduce allergy problems, food and hay
fever types, too. See the Mineral Section for more information.

250mg magnesium
99mg potassium |

Carlson's Cod Liver Oil. Carlson's is the most popular brand or fish oil products and their line includes a number of products including Omega 3 and 6 oils as well as Cod Liver Oil. Cod liver oil is similar to EPA fish oil in that it does supply EPA and DHA omega 3 oils, but it does not contain as much as the average EPA fish oil, which is typically salmon, mackerel, or other EPA-rich fish. Unlike these oils, cod liver oil does contain vitamins A and D. Carlson's cod liver oil limits the amount of vitamins A and D in their product so even taking it at the full serving size of 5 gelcaps per day, it does not provide too much. Even though it is in gelcap form, it is still lemon flavored to help prevent fishy burps. Carlson's also produces cod liver oil in liquid form which may be a slightly better deal, but most people prefer using gelcaps, even when it the liquid is flavored. See the EFA Supplement Section for more information.
5 softgels provide:
750IU vitamin A (15% RDA)
400IU vitamin D (100%)
10IU vitamin E (33%)
1150mg total omega-3 fatty acids including
425mg EPA
500mg DHA
|
|
Carlson's
Fish Oil - Lemon flavored fish oil EPA/DHA
supplement. Mild taste and can be used in salad
dressing. Recommended by Dr. Mercola as the best
liquid EPA supplement. Many people don't mind the taste too much since it is lemon flavored, but the fishiness is still apparent. For those who don't like the taste of fish, gelcaps such as Enzymatic Therapy Eskimo-3 or NSI Mega EFA are a better choice. See the EFA Supplement Section for more information.
Formula: 1 tsp provides :
1300mg EPA/DHA and 14 mg antioxidant blend. |

Controlled Labs Blue Up (formerly known as Blue Rhino) is described as a high potency natural testosterone booster. Since it does contain some yohimbe and caffeine, it should not be used by those with prostate or hypertension problems. Testosterone boosters are often used by body builders looking for a way to increase the effectiveness of workouts, but also by non body builders to boost free testosterone levels to provide benefits in circulation problems, libido, and other conditions that can be affected by low hormone levels.
2 capsules provide:
Blue Up Complex: 1100mg :
Tribulus Terrestris (Extracted for 80% Steroidal Saponins and 30% Protodioscin),

Controlled Labs Green Bulge is mostly meant as a body building supplement, although can provide benefits to those who do not aspire to this goal. Controlled Labs does a lot of research and testing on the bioavailability of their products and Green Bulge is no exception. It contains the best absorbed and useable forms of creatine of any supplement. Creatine is used to increase strength and stamina, and this action can be used by those who are debilitated or who have a problem with insufficient ATP processes.

Magnesium creatine chelate, creatine ethyl ester hcl, betaine anhydrous, taurine ethyl ester di-HCI, arginine ethyl ester di-hci, glycocyamine, k-rala, 4-hydroxyisoleucine (20%) |
|
Controlled Labs Red Acid is mostly meant as a body building supplement, although can provide benefits to those who do not aspire to this goal as well. Controlled Labs does a lot of research and testing on the bioavailability of their products and Red Acid is no exception. It contains fatty acids and fatty acid analogues that help burn fat, reduce fat deposits in the body, and control appetite. It is an excellent product for weight loss, especially when combined with physical exercise.
Serving Size: 3 Capsules contains

Controlled Labs White Blood contains arginine and ornithine ethyl esters, which are compounds of these supplements which are particularly well absorbed and utilized by the body. Arginine and ornithine are used for HGH release regimens as well as to boost nitric oxides in the blood (the principal action of Viagra, but White Blood does it without potentially harmful side effects). While the usual recommended dosage of plain arginine or ornithine to achieve these goals can be very high (as much as 10g at a time), White Blood performs the same function with as little as 3 capsules. White Blood is highly recommended since in addition to the amino acid ethyl esters it also contains antioxidants to decrease the potential of increased oxidation from the increased nitric oxide levels in the blood.
Serving Size: 3 Capsules contains
eNO + Anti-Oxide Complex: 2000mg
Arginine Ethyl Ester Di-HCL, Ornithine Ethyl Ester Di-HCL, L-Taurine (Free Form), K-R-ALA, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Lutein, Folic Acid, Selenium, Zeaxanthin, Cryptoxanthin, Alpha-Carotene) |

Dr. Christopher's Sinus Plus Formula contains Brigham Tea, Marshmallow Root, Golden Seal Root, Chaparral, Burdock Root, Parsley Root, Lobelia, and Cayenne. It is a powerful sinus formula that provides both fast acting herbs to quickly combat the problem as well as deep acting cleansing and antiseptic actions. Not as fast acting as the horseradish mixture in Planetary Formula's Sinus Free, but it works on a deeper level. See the Allergy Regimen for more information. |

Eclectic Institute Intestinal Support -
formerly known as Eclectic
Institute Black Walnut Wormwood capsules. Excellent antiparasitic but
hard to find at a good discount. Contains concentrates of black
walnut, clove, and wormwood with both annua and absynthium
types. Does not stimulate elimination directly as do many antiparasitic
combinations. Wormwood annua makes it more effective for blood borne parasites
like spirochetes. This is Electroherbalism's top rated antiparasitic since it contains wormwood annua in addition to wormwood absynthium to make it more effective and the concentrates are produced in a safe manner without toxic solvents. Note that the new formula Intestinal Support is not as potent as the old Black Walnut Wormwood and can be used at up to double recommended serving size to match it. See the Antiparasitic Regimen for more information.
Formula:
Each 350 mg capsule contains:
Concentrate of Black Walnut (juglans nigra) outer hull, equivalent to 400 mg of dry outer hull.
Concentrate of organically grown Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) flower & leaf, equivalent to 500 mg of dry flower & leaf.
Concentrate of Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) flower, equivalent to 150 mg of dry flower.
Organically grown Chinese Wormwood (Artemisia annua) leaf, equivalent to 700 mg of fresh leaf.
NOTE: The Intestinal Support formula which replaced Black Walnut Wormwood
capsules is slightly lower in potency so more capsules are required to achieve the same results.
Electroherbalism's Paranon has a
similar formula to this Eclectic product but is only available in liquid extract
form.

root. Advertised to remove excess mucus from the respiratory airways due to bronchial irritations and it is excellent for this, especially when combined with an antiseptic program, and may be helpful against asthma, but the usual reason Electroherbalism recommends it is to
combat snoring. See the Snoring Regimen for more information.
Formula: Each Tablet Contains:
Active Ingredients:
Guaifenesin (Glycerol Guaiacolate) 200mg
Other Ingredients:
Fenugreek seed powder (4:1) (Trigonella foenum-graecum) 350mg

Enzymatic Therapy AS-Comp - Although made for asthma and allergies, this formula was good for its low dose
(12mg) ephedrine content and respiratory support nutrients and herbs for sinus and other congestion
problems. Ephedrine is one of the best decongestants but it is a potentially harmful supplement, and most products contain between 30 and 60mg per serving, so this is a way to get some of the benefits with less side effects.
This product was discontinued as of 2002 and this information is provided for historical purposes. Enzymatic Therapy SinuCheck (see below) has similar
action, but contains 30mg of ephedrine per servimg.
Formula. 1 capule provides
Active Ingredient:
Ephedrine from Ma Huang Extract (Ephedra sinica) 12 mg

Enzymatic
Therapy Bromelain Plus - Bromelain
is pineapple enzyme, which is an excellent antiinflammatory and digests protein,
so typically good for muscle and joint problems like arthritis, gout, and other
disorders where inflammation and undigested proteins are a problem, as well as
some digestive disorders. More information on Bromelain in the Favorite
Herbs section. Enzymatic Therapy adds some pantothenic acid and
vitamin C to increase its effects, especially against muscle and joint
problems. Advertised by them as "Enzymes to relieve muscle pain
following exercise". It is sold in capsules and one of the
only bromelain products I have found which is not sprayed with isopropyl alcohol
after manufacture.
Formula: 2 capsules provide
Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) 225mg,
Pantothenic Acid (as calcium D-pantothenate) 125 mg
Bromelain (1,800 M.C.U./g) 750 mg |
|
Enzymatic Therapy Cell Forte with IP-6 - Inositol hexaphosphate and plain inositol in a 4:1 ratio is a patented
formula. Dose for active cancer is 8 capsules twice per day on an empty stomach. Powdered form, available in cannisters, is usually more expensive than using capsules unless it's on
sale. A premier cancer-fighting supplement, it is advertised to boost natural killer (NK) cell production but the main action in fighting cancer may be that it matures cancer cells so they are not embryonic and rapidly dividing and may cause cancerous tissue to revert to normal in some
cases. Binds iron so can be useful in fighting some fungi, viral, and bacterial
infections. Provides some cleansing of the liver and kidneys. Probably helps prevent kidney and
gallstones. Can be made for oneself with pure powdered IP-6 and inositol, available from a number of manufacturers, mixed in the proper ratio. See the Cancer Regimen for more information.
Formula: 2 capsules provide:
Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP-6 brand ) 800mg
Inositol 220mg

Enzymatic Therapy DGL - DGL is a chewable extract of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) and the amino acid glycine. Glycyrrhizin can cause potassium depletion when used long term which is why licorice is typically deglycyrrhizinated when in supplement form. All good DGLs are in chewable form since DGL requires salvia to activate it into body ready form. DGL supplements typically come in both sweetened and unsweetened types, although most prefer unsweetened since DGL is already rather sweet. DGL stimulates the natural protective factors in the digestive tract, which often helps relieve stomach discomfort quickly. |

macular degeneration, cataracts, and other degenerative conditions. Only
widely available product which contains hachimijiogan, an herb blend used to

Enzymatic
Therapy Eskimo-3 - Molecularly distilled
omega 3 EPA/DHA fish oil supplement comes in small gelcaps, unlike the
uncomfortably large gelcaps most companies produce. 3
gelcaps provide: Omega3 Fatty Acids 600 mg:
provides 260 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 165 mg DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) . Eskimo-3 (also known as Prevail Eskimo-3) was one of the first widely available omega 3 fish oil supplements that was molecularly distilled at a reasonable cost. Today, any good EPA supplement is molecularly distilled or otherwise screened for toxic metals. See the EFA Supplement Section for more information. |

(citrate, fumarate, malate, succinate and alpha ketoglutarate). These organic
acids are responsible for energy production within every cell of the body.
Minerals chelated to the Krebs cycle are better absorbed and utilized. See the Mineral Section for more information.

Enzymatic Therapy SinuCheck -
Very effective for sinus and other mucus congestion.
Contains pseudoephedrine (30mg) so should not be taken long term
but with the additional herbs, less is needed than with most ephedrine
supplements so excellent for short term use as needed. NOTE: This low-dose ephedrine supplement was another casualty of the temporary FDA ban on natural ephedra products (but for some reason, not the high dose ephedrine products sold by drugstores and supermarkets like Sudofed) which lasted just long enough to drive off the more effective natural sinus and allergy ephedra products.
Formula. One
tablet provides:
Active Ingredients:
Pseudoephedrine HCl 30mg
Other Ingredients:
Skullcap Extract (4:1) (Scutellaria baicalensis) 100mg

Enzymatic
Therapy Immune Strong Wellness Booster (formerly Enzymatic Therapy Thymulus) - Thymus supplement used primarily for
immune stimulation, often part of a hepatitis regimen. Thymulus is sometimes combined with Enzymatic Therapy ThymuPlex to provide increased amounts of thymus fractions since ThymuPlex has too much zinc (which can cause stomach upset when taken in large amounts) to be used in therapeutic amounts by some people. The astragalus root contained in Thymulus provides deep immunity stimulation but is also calming to the stomach. See the Hepatitis Regimen for more information.
Formula: Two softgels provide:
Thymus Polypeptide Fractions 750mg
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) root 250mg extract standardized to contain 0.5% minimum of the isoflavone 4' hydroxy 3' methoxy isoflavone 7SUG (GHMIF)
Note that there is another product similar to both Strong Wellness Booster and Thymuplex (see below) called Enzymatic Therapy Wellness Booster Plus which is a strong combination of the benefits of Strong Wellness Booster and Thymuplex. |

FutureBiotics Silymarin Plus contains a large amount of silymarin plus inositol, choline, beet, dandelion, alfalfa, black radish,
etc. One of the only products which contains black radish and beet
root powder together. 3 tablets per day serving size can be doubled if needed. Probably the single best supplement to remove both solvents in the liver as well as mineral deposits like
gallstones. Using this for two weeks while drinking unfiltered apple juice and a tablespoon of olive oil before bed is likely as effective, and possibly more so, as a Hulda Clark liver flush. It is the top rated liver cleanser by Electroherbalism.

Gaia Herbs Extra Strength Echinacea Supreme is one of the most powerful full spectrum echinacea extracts available, although like many liquid extracts, not rated for potency. Good quality echinacea can be told be how much it numbs the tongue. Gaia's Extra Strength Echinacea Supreme numbs the tongue more so than any other commonly available echinacea extract to the point of it being uncomfortable. Use small amounts of mix with water until one is acclimated to this sensation. There is also a regular (non extra strength) formula. Gaia Herbs Extra Strength Echinacea Supreme is Electroherbalism's most highly recommended echinacea extract. See the Antiviral Regimen for more information.
Grain Alcohol Content: 45-55%
Ingredients: Echinacea Angustifolia Root, fresh, undried Echinacea Purpurea Root, Flower Head, Seed, Pure Grain Alcohol, Spring Water
Take 20 drops of extract in a small amount of warm water 2 times daily between meals. |

Gaia Herbs
Olive Leaf extract - Olive leaf extract is a premier antiseptic,
effective against many bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Gaia's
product is standardized for 10% oleuropeins, which is less than the 18% or more
that many products now offer, but it is extracted using water instead of toxic
solvents so preferable for long term use. See the Antifungal General, Antibacterial General, and Antiviral General regimens for more information.
Formula: 1 capsule provides:
250 mg/cap standardized extract of Olive Leaf, 10% oleuropeins |

Gaia Herbs
Scudder's Alterative - The description provided by Gaia is "This
excellent alterative compound was originally prepared according to Prof.
Scudder's formula (an eclectic medical formula). It acts, as all alteratives
do, to replace catabolic tissue with healthy, more vibrant tissue. This is an
alterative second to none, working to bring about a repair to the vital force
through the removal of obstructing waste material. Specifically
indicated in liver and glandular afflictions, skin disorders, lymphatic and
blood disorders, tumors, cysts, boils, carbuncles, cancers, endometriosis, and
conditions where there is waste build-up and deranged tissue."
Use it with The Water Cure and in amounts no more than directed. See the Endometriosis Regimen for more information.
Formula: Corydalis tubers, Black alder bark, Mayapple root, Figwort flowering herb, Yellow dock Grain alcohol content: 35-40% |

Garden of Life Living Multi Optimal Formula - Was once one of Electroherbalism's most highly rated multivitamins but since Garden of Life is now prohibiting their resellers from selling at good discounts, the high cost makes it lower rated for the money. Most NSI Synergy Multivitamins are much higher in potency and a much better value. Garden of Life Multi is mostly composed of "super green foods" bound to vitamins and minerals.
Appears to be low potency, but due to the very high absorption rate, actually better than many supposedly high-potency products. Since everything
is bound to protein or otherwise in a food matrix, it can be taken on an empty
stomach. Although it appears expensive, especially considering the large
daily serving size of 9 caplets, the amount of useful green food and herb
extracts can save a lot of money over supplementing them separately.
See the Multivitamin Section for more information.
Living Multi Optimal Formula contains 70 whole foods, including 23 fruits, 20
vegetables, 11 tonic mushrooms, 9 ocean vegetables and 6 botanicals. This is
equivalent to 203,150 mg of fresh Superfoods. 100% Vegetarian. 9 tablets

George's Aloe Juice is the purest aloe product available. It is fractionally distilled to remove the laxative and bitter compounds and tastes almost like water. A rich source of polysaccharides, aloe is often used to stimulate immune function and fight chronic illness in addition to its traditional use as a topical to treat burns and skin irritation. Excellent product to use for digestive illnesses such as Crohn's and IBS to control symptoms, but it is best to also use antiseptics to fight bacteria directly for these purposes. Many people use aloe juice to fight GERD and other acidic digestion problems, and it is helpful for this but only when taken in large amounts. See the IBS and Crohn's Regimen for more information.
Ingredients:
100% Aloe Vera (fractionally distilled from Aloe Vera leaves) |

Health From The Sun Flax Oil Lignan Gold is one of the best flax oils products (Barlean's is as highly regarded). Both contain a large amount of lignans which are thought to be some of the helpful components in flax oils. Flax oil is a source of omega 3 oils, but unlike EPA fish oil must first be converted by the body to a useable form. Excess amounts of flax oil (3 TBS or more) can actually be harmful if there is not enough protein or other nutrients in the diet, but using 1 or 2 tablespoons per day is usually fine.
Ingredients: 100% Certified Organic Flax seed oil and particulate with rosemary extract, mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E), ascorbyl palmitate (Vitamin C) and citric acid to protect freshness.See the EFA Supplement Section for more information. |

The actual text for this product states that it has 1250mg of pancreatin, but
this listing displays the real value of 125mg of 10x pancreatin to make
comparisons of other products in this section, like Enzymatic Therapy Mega-Zyme,
valid.
Note that there is another product out there also called "Megazyme Forte" that has a different formula and is not rated for
trypsin or chymotrypsin. |

Heritage Products Cold Pressed Castor Oil
Castor Oil is a powerful laxative and used as an emollient to soothe the skin and keep it moist. Pure, cold pressed, top quality oil. Good for use as a skin softener, although very thick. Edgar Cayce recommended castor oil packs over the liver to benefit the liver and digestive system and castor oil liver packs have become one his more enduring legacies with many people soaking flannel cloth with castor oil, placing over the liver area, and covering with a heating pad to increase penetration. Healers from many ancient cultures have used castor oil for over 3000 years. See the Castor Oil article for more information.
Ingredients for Castor Oil Cold Pressed
Ultra Pure, Cold Pressed Castor Oil.
Suggested Use for Castor Oil Cold Pressed
To prepare a pack, saturate flannel and place over abdomen or other areas. Cover with plastic, and apply heat to increase penetration. Other uses; Massage into any area where softening and soothing are desired. |
