Howdy Beth -

'Sorry for the delay/s, but I'm so far behind on posts all I can see is my own backside :(  There's a couple of folks that have been waiting for 'complete responses' for weeks, so please don't think I'm ignoring you (because I'm definitely not).  In fact, I've been doing a lot of thinking and reviewing your posting history and experiences/reactions of late, and I've got a couple of 'concept suggestions' (and I'll do my best to get a response to your original response in more detail, as soon as I can).  Onward...

>>> but there is far more in there besides the ascorbic acid. Bioflavonoids and a bunch of amino acids and pine bark extract. <<< 

Hmmmm, I don't know for sure what is worse...one isolated/fractionated or synthetic chemical substance that is unnatural to the body, or a bunch of them mixed together?  Our natural bodies can be manipulated by unnatural substances, but they can't be healed by them.  Just like no disease is caused by a lack of pharmaceuticals; no disease is caused by a lack of unnatural supplements.

I really don't suggest changing anything substantial at this point (in the physical sense), and here's why:

No matter what we think or believe (for whatever reason), synthetic and/or isolated-fractionated substances work the same as drugs in our bodies.  While they may not be as toxic as pharmaceuticals, they still 'force actions & physical responses' in the same way as drugs (unnaturally altering the way our body processes & utilizes all variety of nutrients and chemically forcing changes in the actual pathways & actions of a multitude of systems throughout our body). 

Hence when/if you alter the (currently precarious) balance of the chemicals and chemical actions (especially in a weakened body where the body and the owner have grown accustomed to the unnatural 'chemical synergy'), the result will be some type of a negative physical reaction (or a reaction that's perceived as negative).  But the thing is (at this point), there's really no way you have any way of knowing the actual reaction of your true physical/natural body to the 'changes' you make, and what reactions you're experiencing due to your body being in an unnatural state.  After this long of a time on the 'chemical supplement roulette wheel' you've managed to hit on a combination that bandaids some symptoms and causes some level of 'chemical stability' in your poor body.  And frustratingly (I know), making changes in that precarious, unnatural balance IS going to "throw symptoms". :(

When the body is weak and chemically forced out of it's natural balance & responses - and the emotions and mind are lacking solid natural healing knowledge (and confidence in that knowledge) - the common result is fear to change or utilize natural healing (which is 100% natural and to be expected).  There's likely nothing that's more anti-healing than fear.

What I do suggest that would be extremely beneficial at this stage of the game (assuming of course, you're interested in healing & restoring your natural body naturally) is to upgrade your knowledge base substantially regarding the concepts & methodology of natural healing.  The first & best starting point for this is the Save Your Life set - a 'no longer published' series of videos & manual of Dr. Schulzes (check your PM inbox).  Also, you could browse through as many of the FAQ's as possible...particularly the bowel/colon one - because that's always at the root of everything and where we always start.  ~!~ Compilation ALL "Working FAQ" posts & threads    Reading answers & explanation to questions I've been asked would likely be more beneficial than reading all the "persnickety details" of the various cleanses. Also, this series of short audios might be 'just the ticket'  Dr Schulze ~!~ AUDIOS "20 Steps" and MORE ~!~...although I must warn you, Dr. Schulze is quite a 'personality'! (lol)


>>>I am interested in trying the superfood but I'd like to know what the smallest quantity I could buy would be and how much that would cost. I practically have my own health food store full of unused supps that I've tried once or twice. Most of the ingredients In the superfood seem like ones I would tollerate except for the grasses. I'm not sure about those at this time. Lettuce makes me sick lately and I know that wheat grass is far stronger than lettuce. What do you think about the superfood minus the grasses?<<<

Aaaaawh Beth, I empathize & hurt for & with you SO much.  I've assisted so many people in your situation by way of natural healing.  Your body is extremely compromised and two-fold out of balance/harmony  The first disharmony is because your organs & system of elimination are congested and weak; the second is because the body cannot be in a state of balance or harmony while it's being fed unnatural chemicals & substances that cause disharmony.  If you're reactive to lettuce (even though lettuce & wheat grass have virtually nothing in common), you're likely going to reactive to Superfood - so please don't consider it as some kind of a 'test' you can rely upon 'to see if all this natural healing stuff works'.   To answer your question, the smallest quantity we sell is 14oz and the price is $18.00 ($18.54 if using PayPal/charge card), but you don't need to purchase an entire 14oz - we'll be happy to send you a few ounces for free as long as you pay the shipping.  All you need to do to place that order is go to the Storefront, do a search on the word "sample" (choose any tincture sample since that's all we have listed) and then complete the order/checkout.

What do I think of Superfood without Wheat Grass, Barley Grass and Alfalfa "grass"?  I think you'd be missing some good nutrients, but if you wanna buy the herbs and customize your own, it would be better than none.  Frustratingly, we're far past the point of having the time to mix up custom blends.

I totally understand 'where you are'...please don't ever think I'm 'pushing' you to do ANYTHING that doesn't resonate with you and your doctor within.  But :::grin::: artist to artist? I am pushing you to 'listen harder' to your dcotor and healing artist within, and to learn everything you can so you can properly interpret the messages you're receiving :)  Which reminds me, I was quite impressed by both your artistry and your execution when I visited your site - in fact, your ability to 'see the vision' and then execute it with such clearness & precision that inspires MY vision and confidence in you and your ability to heal yourself naturally :)

Healthiest of blessings,

Unyquity

P.S.   Rocky & I set aside our lapidary & jewelry artistry to devote our lives to helping people learn to heal themselves naturally - hopefully someday in the not-so-far-away future I'll find the the time to select & upload a nice 'gallery's worth' of images I can share with you/everybody.
