Christopher's Original Formulas Intestinal Sweep -- 625 mg - 180 Vegetarian C.

I have used this Intestinal Sweep formula numerous times. First as part of Dr Christopher's Candida Cleanse, then as maintenance to keep my gut and blood healthy, and also in conjunction with other cleanse programs like juice fasting and mono-diets. This herbal formula does work! Full success depends on the proper use of the supplement and following a proper diet. If you are feeding your candida with a poor diet, then the herbs won't have the full effect.*** Below I've included the instructions on how to perform Dr. Christopher's 3.5 week Candida Cleanse. ***This formula includes an array of the world's most powerful anti-fungal herbs: Black Walnut, Pau D'Arco, Olive Leaf, Usnea, Oregano, Cloves, Oregon Grape Root. The Black Walnut and Pau D'Arco are in extract form - which is concentrated at 7-10x the potency of the dried herb form. All of these herbs work in combination, with each addressing different parts of the cleansing process.When taking these pills (providing that you are not eating sugary foods), you should feel the yeast/candida systems stop within a few hours. It is important to continue to take the capsules because there is more yeast than what is causing your symptoms and you want to kill off all of it. So continue to take the capsules for at least 2 days. Do not be shy about taking these pills, candida can be very difficult to kill.If you experience any detox symptoms (headaches, nausea, diarrhea, sweating, weakness, sleepy), they are caused by the die-off of the yeast. Do not stop taking the herbs or you will stop the cleanse. Detox symptoms are a good thing and are a sign of effective cleansing. The symptoms will go away once the majority of the toxins/yeast is eliminated. In the long run a few days of mild suffering beats years of illness.Also, do not return to a high sugar diet after this cleanse or, overtime, you may rebuild your candida and have to do another 3.5 week cleanse. Mini-cleanses (2-3 days) every few weeks will help to keep your body clean and running good - once you have done the deeper cleanse work.Also using antibiotics will destroy your healthy gut bacteria as well as the bad bacteria. So if you do take an antibiotics, then be sure to immediately take high quality probiotics to rebuild the healthy gut bacteria. I recommend Essential Formulas Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics, Original Formula or Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics Professional Formula - 60 Capsules.I have tried over a dozen other candida cleanse pills - ReNew Life, Candex, Solaray, New Chapter, and others. The great majority (like 90%) did not help. Some created zero change. Many companies use junk herbs - low quality, not organic, low potency - in pretty packaging. Many products do not recommend taking enough herbs to make a difference. And most companies will not tell you what diet to follow or even understand proper nutrition.For all of Dr Christopher's products, the herbs are either organic or wild-harvested. They have strong potency and are cost effective because Dr Christopher buys direct from the farmer and does not spend money on advertising. Many of the other brands will spend thousands (or hundreds of thousands) on advertising. The consumer pays for this with higher product prices. So do not be deceived by the low prices for Dr Christopher's herbs.Also Dr Christopher is one of America's first "famous" herbalists. He set up The School of Natural Healing in 1953. Many of today's most successful herbalists (companies too) were trained in Dr Christopher's methods. Some use identical formulas but brand them differently.I have been in the health field since 1996 and have family members who've been doing it longer. I have learned to trust a few brands over the years. Dr Christopher's herbs and HealthForce Nutritionals are at the top of my life. Garden of Life also has many good products, but some are artificial and poor (like the RAW vitamin line that is grown on yeast and does not use whole foods). The other brands I may use for single herbs, but generally stay away from.I feel that correct information is the first and most necessary part of any healing program. I hope that my review has helped you to be more informed and ultimately free from your yeast and candida problems.*** Dr Christopher System Yeast (Candida) Overgrowth Cleanse ***This is a 3.5 week program which begins with mega-dosing Intestinal Sweep (5 capsules 5 times per day for 2 days), combined with Dr Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula 100 Vegetarian Capsules or Lower Bowel 2 Ounces (follow the dosage on the bottle) for two days. This kills off the candida in the intestinesThen for 14 days, take Christopher's Soothing Digestion -- 650 mg - 180 Vegetarian Capsules (5 caps 5x per day) to heal the mucus membranes and lesions in the intestinal wall. You should continue to take the Intestinal Sweep 2 caps 3x per day during this phase.Then for 2 days, repeat the Intestinal Sweep (5 caps 5x per day) and Lower Bowel Formula (exact dosage on bottle).Then for 7 days, take large amounts of probiotics to restore the healthy gut bacteria. I recommend using Essential Formulas Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics, Original Formula or Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics Professional Formula - 60 Capsules. Take 3 capsules morning and 3 evening for best results, always on an empty stomach.During this entire 3.5 week cleanse it is absolutely necessary that you do not feed the yeast (candida). Do not eat any sugary foods. This means eliminating ALL dairy, grains, fruit, and sweeteners (honey, sugar, agave, etc). Eat more vegetables, seeds, nuts and sprouted legumes.* * * Important: Dr Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula contains Cascara Sagrada. This is a very potent herbs and will cause a thinning of the intestinal tissue if over used. Be sure to follow the protocol as instructed by Dr Christopher.To add it all up, you will need:1 bottle of Intestinal Sweep (this item)1 bottle of Dr Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula 100 Vegetarian Capsules or Lower Bowel 2 Ounces2 bottles of Christopher's Soothing Digestion -- 650 mg - 180 Vegetarian Capsules1 bottle of Essential Formulas Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics, Original Formula or Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics Professional Formula - 60 Capsules

I contacted The Herb Shop and asked the lady as to why so many capsules turn up empty in the bottle. I haven't yet reached the end of the bottle, so I may find a pile of the herb on the bottom of the bottle. The lady told me that they are aware of this problem and that the company adds 20 extra capsules to help compensate for the empty capsules. She said that the clove in the formula will break the capsule down thereby having us end up with empty capsules.I used this a few years ago, and then tried it again. I am extremely happy with the product. Although, I am content with taking only 1 or 2 capsules a day.I poured out the capsules into a strainer over a bowl so that I could separate out the loose powder from the capsules. Then I replaced the capsules in the bottle. Then I put the loose powder into my chocolate smoothie mixture so that I could put it to good use instead of tossing away.

I have been using this product for quite a while and love it but it is out of stock everywhere. When will I be able to purchase again?

On day three, but not pleasant to take because capsules are cracked and the powder chokes you if you accidentally inhale before swallowing.

Very high quality and arrived on time excellent value

Ordinary colon cleansers only the colon which the upper small intestines according to medical dictionaries is not a part off. You cant even get an upper intestinal sweep at a hospital by prescription. This is a must buy. Takes a bout 5 days for effects to be noticable. There should be no bad reviews of this stuff! Mine didnt contain any broken pills as of jan 2024 mayve this problems veen resolved.

The capsules are broken open inside. These are expensive so I want the 180 count that I paid for. I bought these from another company at the same time, and the same problem. The capsule material is too thin to contain the product. They wouldn't let me return/refund so I'm stuck.

Works well
