I will say this. Don't neglect heavy metalic salts like cesium chloride, rhubidium, colloid silver, copper, iron, iodine. If you are taking anything that looks like an oxygen donor, (flax seed and chlorophyll containing products.)
These all will greatly enhance anything that you do alternatively .
ESSIAC does contain highly alkaline substances, (turkish rhubarb,) but when you understand how these substances work. It is hard to ignore heavier salts.
Also, look up vitamin c infusions, (ascorbate.)
Good luck.
