Hi Jessesmom,

I believe Celery Tea is discussed in cleansing if you click on the cleansing tab at the top center of the CZ screen.

I haven't had any experience with this, but I have with fresh parsley tea. Parsley tea definitely makes you "go."

I recommend starting with something to dissolve kidney stones, like banaba tea (lemon tea is also reputed to do the same thing). Only after the kidney ducts are clear would I recommend a herbal kidney cleanser, as it acts to release toxins from the kidney tissues (as opposed to the ducts) and it's helpful to have clear ducts for the newly released toxins to be eliminated. The herbal kidney cleansers also support healthy growth of kidney tissue.

Moritz recommends a kidney cleansing every 4 Liver Flushes or so. Having had a bad experience around Flush #12, I think his advice is sound.

So, to answer the question of taking kidney cleansers continuously - I don't think you need to. However, once the ducts are clear and you've done one complete kidney cleanse using your herbs, following a Liver Flush with a day's worth of maintenance-level kidney tea would be helpful, as some of the toxins freed up from the liver will be excreted through the kidneys. Going through a full course of kidney cleansing herbs should be considered every 4 Liver Flushes or so (or at least quarterly). Just my opinion.

Let us know what you experience!

Hi Pioneer1,

I haven't used tinctures. If you click on the links regarding the Japanese research, and look around that website, they might. I've always used bagged tea leaves, so I'm not much help here. They key seems to be in mgs/day - which you could find, whether in tincture or loose leaf/teabag form.

I can guarantee you, if you drink enough of this tea, your blood Sugar will go down. So, since you are diabetic, I'd recommend a glucose test after 4 cups, and then monitor as you go. Of course, you know the signs of low blood Sugar - white face, dark under the eyes, shaky hands, kind of panicky feeling if it's way down. The Japanese researchers described how many mgs they used with their Diabetes II patients, and they were being cautious not to overdue it.

I'd recommend, if you're interested in a thorough kidney cleanse, use something to dissolve stones first (like banaba tea) and then follow up with a herbal supplement. You want the kidney tubing cleared of stones before the kidney tissues dump toxins into them, otherwise you will wind up with autotoxification - the toxins can't get out and are reabsorbed, causing new problems.

It's the same with liver cleansing: Get the stones out first, before using herbal cleansers like milk thistle.

Just my opinion!
