Dr Christopher’s Extended Herbal Cleanse – The Effective 30,000 Mile Maintenance



I have used Dr Christopher’s Extended Herbal Cleanse to achieved increased health and energy.  My wife and I use this method to maintain peak health similar to the way you may bring your car in for its 30,000 mile maintenance.  This cleanse restores the bowel to proper action as well as bringing new clean health to the kidneys, the liver, and it also cleans the blood.  Dr Christopher’s formulas have been time tested for more than 50 years and are safe and effective. 

The process begins with cleansing and regulating the bowel with Dr Christopher’s Lower Bowel Formula. The goal is to move the bowel as often as one eats—2 or 3 times a day. I focus on this goal by itself for the first week. The recommended maintenance amount on the bottle label is 2 capsules 3 times per day.  Individuals may need to increase this by one capsule each day until they achieve the desired goal of having a bowel movement three times each day. I have found that most clients with long standing health challenges suffer from constipation or diarrhea.  Having them focus on getting the bowel moving (or calmed down) for a full week before starting the kidney and liver cleanse ensures this critical main pathway is running properly.  One gentleman reported that he lost seven pounds in the first week of bowel cleansing. 

Dr Christopher’s Lower Bowel Formula contains:

  • Cascara Sagrada Bark 
  • Barberry Bark
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Ginger Root
  • Lobelia Herb
  • Red Raspberry Leaf
  • Turkey Rhubarb Root
  • Fennel Seed 
  • Goldenseal Root
I have worked with some people who were so blocked up that it took months to get moving.  Patience and consistency is the key.  With all herbal formula’s I find that following Dr Christopher’s recommendation to take for 6 days and rest on the 7th day, is a natural cycle that produces the fastest results.  Some clients find that they have to continue with the Lower Bowel formula on the off day to keep things moving.  I suggest drinking more water, eating fresh foods and more fiber to alleviate this need.  Every herbal program should be adjusted by the individual under the care of a trained health professional.

After the first week add Dr Christopher’s Kidney Formula and the Liver and Gall Bladder Formula.  These are also taken 6 days per weeks and rest on the 7th day. 

The Kidney Formula contains: 

  • Juniper Berry
  • Parsley Root
  • Uva Ursi Leaf
  • Marshmallow Root
  •  Lobelia Herb
  •  Ginger Root 
  •  Goldenseal Root.
  This will act as a mild diuretic and cleanse and rebuild the kidneys.  I have had customers report that they increased in kidney function dramatically using this formula for just a few months.  One lady recently reported that her kidney function tests increased from 25% to 50%. 

The Liver and Gall Bladder Formula contains:

  • Barberry Bark
  • Wild Yam Root
  •  Cramp Bark
  •  Fennel Seed
  •  Ginger Root
  • Catnip Herb P
  • Peppermint Leaf.

After a week on the three above formulas

Add Dr Christopher’s Blood Stream Formula.  This formula is added when all the elimination organs are fully functioning to provide a channel for elimination.  If
The Blood Stream Formula where started before the bowel, kidney and liver were capable of handling the toxins then poisons would be released but unable to exit the body.  A cleansing crisis would be more likely as increased toxins moved into the blood and throughout the body.

Continue on this extended herbal cleanse for 6 weeks.  
Take a week off during which you assess your condition to see if you need to repeat this process.  Following the extended herbal cleanse you may need to continue on the Lower Bowel formula for a time to help the bowel heal.  Don’t despair if this takes time.  This depends on the damage done.  Some people take years to restore the bowel to proper function.  Slippery Elm may also help the bowel to restore to proper function.

Natural Health Benefits 

Weight loss and more energy are natural outcomes that come with reducing the toxic load.  When a channel for elimination is open, a natural weight loss of 1/3 to 1/2 pound per day is experienced by some people.
Those who follow the diet that Dr Christopher calls the mucusless diet, eating mostly plant based fresh foods, and supplementing where needed with herbal builders for their weakest organs, find the most rapid recovery.
As with your car, if you have neglected the maintenance for many years and missed the routine maintenance, it may take remedial and repeat work to restore everything to full functioning.  My wife and I share a philosophy that mirrors this automobile maintenance analogy.  We use the extended herbal cleanse periodically to restore the cleansing organs to full function.  This may be every two years applying the full six week process.  We rebuild our worn out or weak organs with the 6 week cycle the rest of the year.

Nicely done. I've been writing and teaching a lot about treatment of pain with herbs recently, and this is a well-done energetic approach.
