Dear Ian,

 

Thank you so much....I agree with what you've said ...I have only recently been made aware that *natural flavors* is not a good thing. I'll finish this product up and not take it anymore. And I see the barleygreen is organic, but the herbs are not listed as such in the fiber blend....interesting since it's the same company....so I'll have to look for an organic source for the Milk Thistle too as well.... I have a few seeds, maybe I could grow it myself and tincture it? What about the alcohol of the tincture though? Any suggestions on that Doc?

thank you again for your time and advice,

In Him,

Fern

 << If the herbs were all organic, I'd have to say you had a pretty good formula there, but the natural flavors thing has me very concerned and so do the additional ingredients as well.  I'd stay away from it for those reasons alone. >>

If it isn't wildcrafted or certified organic, I don't use it with any of my patients and I always recommend others do the same.  I don't see any herb there that would be harmful to your liver unless the herbs were imported from some third world country where it is still legal to use DDT and subject to irradiation and fumigation as prescribed by American Agri-Laws ( & they don't have to put that on the label).  I think the above ansers your second question as well, except to say that the magnesium stearate and silicon dixoide are inorganic and definitely do not help.

 

My vote is to stay away from both.

 

Love,

 

Doc

Best bet is to use 100 proof Vodka. It'll make a great tincture for you.

 

Good luck on growing your milk thistle.

 

Love,

 

Doc

Should not be a problem as long as you don't go overboard. There is more alcohol in a ripe banana then there is in one potent dropperful of a tincture made with 100 proof Vodka.

 

Love,
