My tonic

I emailed you regarding a certain ingredient in my tonic that I became concerned about, mandrake. Your response, "I don't tell people what's in my tonics. But you need not worry." Charlie, I don't see why you can't say if Mandrake is in my tonic or not??? I think I have a right to know if there is a toxic herb in my tonic.

Okay, so maybe it’s in there or maybe not, could you at least explain what medicinal/nutritional purpose Mandrake/Mayapple has??? I have a headache everyday still and I am wondering if one of the herbs is causing it...

BTW, you posted a basic recipe for your liver tonic:

I assume that my tonic contains all the ingredients listed in that post plus/minus a few more...

[The purgative action of mayapple rhizome powder is very strong, and the compounds in it are much too toxic to attempt self-medication with this plant. The FDA rates the use of this plant as "unsafe."]

Could it still be the lymph system dumping??? Perhaps from the pokeroot that you added, at least that's what you told me?

I am also feeling low in iron, so I started back on my "food based" multi vitamin. I started taking it yesterday. I need my multi and find that it really helps give my body that extra nutrition that I'm not getting in my food.

I know you like to do the phone thing, but I feel that posting will help others decide if your tonics are right for them.

PS: Initially I blamed my headache on a detoxification process, but the thing is that everything else is normalizing, but the headache stays???

There is one more issue that I have, but hopefully we can square that up off cz...
