my or ileostomy and also fecal odor caused by incontinence.
It can also help for foul smelling gas. Chlorophyll cleanses
and nourishes the intestinal tract and is healing to the
mucosal lining. It can also be helpful for constipation.
Chorophyll is an excellent whole body cleanser. It not only
detoxifies the digestive tract, but also facilitates cleansing of
the blood and liver and assists in the chelation of heavy met-
als. It is capable of neutralizing harmful oxidants and may
reduce oxidative damage from certain carcinogens. It also
has the ability to form tight molecular complexes with car-
cinogens and in doing so blocks the body’s absorption of
them. In a placebo controlled study conducted in China
Chlorophyll supplementation was found to decrease DNA
damage caused by aflatoxin, a liver carcinogen produced by
fungus in moldy grains and legumes. Scientists hope that in
populations with unavoidable dietary aflatoxin exposure
Chlorophyll supplementation could significantly reduce the
risk of developing liver cancer.

Historically, Cinnamon has been used for various gastroin-
testinal problems. More recently, interest has centered on the
research showing that Cinnamon can help normalize blood
sugar control. This is of major interest to those with type 2
diabetes.
Who would benefit from this supplement?
•Those with blood sugar regulation problems, including type
2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cholesterol related conditions.
Each two liquid filled veggie caps contain 250 mg of
Cinnamon Bark (alcohol extract), 75 mg of Cinnamon Bark

Cinnamaldehydes.
According to the
Natural Standard Integrative Medicine
data-
base, “Cinnamon may be used for various medical condi-
tions (77;?78). In a survey of parents in Germany determin-
ing the use of complementary and alternative medicines in
children with type 1 diabetes in four pediatric diabetes cen-
ters (located in Leipzig, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Bonn), 5.6%
reported using cinnamon for this indication (79). Cinnamon
has been touted as having a positive effect on postprandial
glucose metabolism (80). Its ability to lower blood sugar in
individuals with diabetes has been discussed (81). Naturally
occurring compounds found in cinnamon (Cinnamomum
cassia), including chromium and polyphenols, may improve
insulin sensitivity (82). Human data suggest that cinnamon
exhibits "sweet" properties and may be used in strategies for
reduction of sugar intake (83).

Cleanse Complex 1:2
A herbal formula based on traditional concepts of
a rapid, systemic (full body) cleansing.
4 fl oz - Prod Code: 57073
Many of the herbs used in Phyto-Tech™ Cleanse Complex
have a long tradition of use in naturopathic medicine for
many toxic conditions. The theory behind using Phyto-
Tech™ Cleanse Complex is that it will result in blood and tis-
sue cleansing through stimulating the organs that do this
innately, including the liver, urinary tract, skin, lymph and
bowels.
Herbs do not really actually cleanse the blood and tissues
directly, but instead, stimulate the organs to increase the rate
in which they do this naturally. Phyto-Tech™ Cleanse
Complex will help in the elimination of cellular metabolic
waste, dietary toxemia and environmental toxins. It is indi-
cated for internally and externally generated toxins.
Detoxification is thought to help stimulate organs that elimi-
nate the toxemia from drug usage. It can be used in smaller
more moderate doses if a slower cleanse is desired. Faster
cleanses can result in more uncomfortable acute healing
symptoms that might not be desired, but are usually harmless
(i.e., loose stool, nausea, headaches, skin discharges). These
symptoms can be avoided by decreasing the dose or pace.
Phyto-Tech™ Cleanse Complex works best in conjunction
with other cleansing protocols, such as dietary changes,
increasing water consumption and exercise.
Phyto-Tech™ Cleanse Complex contains the following herbs:
Oregon Grape Root, Red Clover Blossoms, Fresh Burdock
Root, Fresh Dandelion Root, Alfalfa Leaf, Yerba Mansa Root,
Red Root, Vegetable Glycerin, Deionized Water, Natural
Flavors
Dosage:
Pour entire contents into 1 gallon of pure water
and drink over 3 hours.
Cautions and Contraindications: Do not use if pregnant or
nursing; do not use if using other detoxification protocals
unless under physician direction; may affect metabolism of
some medications, so advise your physician.
Complimentary Formulas:
•Phyto-Tech™ Liver Support
•Phyto-Tech™ Digest Stim Complex

Antioxidants for Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is a disorder of tear
deficiency or excessive tear evaporation
resulting in an unstable tear film. Symptoms
include dryness, burning sensation, visual
disturbance, and sandy-gritty eye irritation.
Treatments usually include the use of
artificial tears and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Oxidative stress and inflammation, the usual
culprits in most diseases, obviously play a
role here, so the use of antioxidants is
warranted. The eyes are especially
vulnerable to aging and inflammation and
exposure to free radicals can damage tear
secreting glands and tissues. Properly
formulated eye supplements designed to
protect and maintain eye health, contain
many of the ingredients used in this study
and should provide similar therapeutic
results; I’ll give examples after my
comments. In other studies, it has been
shown that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil
has demonstrated to be beneficial in dry
eye syndrome. The use of both omega-3
fatty acids and antioxidants may be the best
approach. Two components of the study,
astaxanthin and goji berry, are not usually
found in eye formulas and may have to be
taken separately.
Here are a few eye health formulas I suggest
you try:
Vision Optmizer by Jarrow

Eye Antioxidant by Bluebonnet
120 VCapsules, Product Code: 52685
Advanced Eye Factors by Natural Factors

Goji 12:1 400 mg by Paradise Herbs

Astaxanthin 4 mg by Healthy Origins
60 VSoftgels, Product Code: 66306
Additional Comments from Sam Forbes, CN.
Tears lubricate and protect the eye, but age,
ill health, and the environment can reduce
the quality and quantity of tears. In this study,
43 people with dry eye took a daily
antioxidant supplement or a placebo for eight
weeks.
The supplement contained 2 mg
astaxanthin, 120 mg bilberry extract, 1,500
IU vitamin A, 50 mg vitamin C, 110 mcg
selenium yeast, 10 mg zinc gluconate, B-
complex vitamins, 45 IU vitamin E, 200 mg
goji berry, and 200 mg cassia seed.
After eight weeks, those taking the
antioxidant supplement had lower levels of
damaging reactive oxygen species in tears,
levels of which had increased for placebo.
Also in the antioxidant group, tears took
longer to evaporate and there was less pain,
burning, and itching.
