Feeling our best physically is a total reality if we are properly nourished. It is our bloodstream, our very river of life, that supplies our entire body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. When it is both clean and filled with nutrients from proper diet, we feel full of vitality and strong.
Wouldn't we all like clear, supple skin? How great would it feel if problems such as acne, boils, tooth decay, and others became problems of the past? Many people today struggle needlessly with high blood pressure, heart problems, yeast overgrowth, anemia and all manner of afflictions that they probably could handle easily if the body was allowed a pure blood stream.
From a vitalistic perspective these each are most effectively approached through purification of the blood. The blood has a pretty good method of keeping itself clean. It maintains itself by dumping any old or toxic material it doesn't need into the liver, where the materials are rendered safe, recycled or put into bile. The blood is filtered through a phenomenally intricate process in the kidneys. If the kidneys, bowels or liver are overworked or backed up, the blood cannot get rid of these materials, and is forced to carry it until it can find someplace to store it or force it out.
So blood purification is most effectively approached by having good bowel, kidney and liver health, which is best maintained by diet. It is a good idea to clean the bloodstream, but only if these are in working order. If they aren't, and the blood is stimulated to cleanse itself, where is it going to put all the debris? You might end up sick as all the trash floats in the blood, having nowhere to go. That is why Dr. Christopher never let anyone take his incredibly potent Blood Stream Formula unless they had worked on these areas for the body for at least a week, and were eliminating regularly.
Lower Bowel, Kidney and Liver & Gallbladder Formula:
Make sure these areas are working before heavy blood cleansing
Blood Steam Formula:
This was Dr. Christopher's potent blood cleanser. Formulated to detoxify on a cellular level and build the blood.
Chapparel or Red Clover:
Two of the most powerful blood cleansing herbs.
Pau d'arco:
A blood cleanser that is anti-fungal by nature. A potent herbal approach to kill bacterial yeast or candida in the bloodstream.
Bugleweed (in Heavy Mineral Bugleweed formula):
Dr. Christopher had his patients take the Blood Stream Formula with the Heavy Mineral Bugleweed Formula in cases of heavy metal poisoning. Along with this, he had them take a 3 baths a week with a pound of Epsom salts per bath, spaced a day a part for three weeks, then rest a week.
Iron Assimilation Formula (Herbal Iron):
Formulated with yellowdock, one of the highest herbal sources of iron known. Yellowdock also cleanses the blood while it builds it. The formula is useful for enhancing the absorption of iron.
