Re: Dameon, I wonder if this will help..?

 

The other two things in the Triphala with the Amla, have alot of benefits themselves...someplace too, I read that Triphala is one that is ok to stay on for long periods of time too. A couple of things that jumped out at me, from that link you gave:

A: Yes, there is quite an extensive body of research on Haritaki by scientists in universities throughout the world. In support of its bactricidal quality, research shows that Haritaki has anti-bacterial effect (International Journal of Cardiology, 1988). In this study the researchers tested the effect of extracts of Haritaki on a bacteria called Helicobactor Pylori. The results indicated that water extracts of Haritaki contain a heat stable agent with inhibiting effects and possible therapeutic potential for fighting Helicobactor Pylori and other bacterial species.

As for the reduction of liver disease, one study examined the effect of an herbal formula that contained Haritaki as the main ingredient along with four other herbs. The results showed that this formula enhanced the rate of recovery from hepatic amoebiasis by 73%, reducing the average degree of liver infection substantially (Journal of Ethno Pharmacology, 1996). The extract of this formula also was found to enhance cell-mediated immune response in golden hamsters with amoebic liver abscess.

(Amla)  There are so many excellent qualities in Amalaki that it's hard to know where to begin. Let's start first by saying that Amalaki helps purify toxins from the body. One way Amalaki does this is by enhancing food absorption. When your digestion becomes stronger, the food you eat is converted to nutrition rather than staying undigested and producing impurities. The unique thing about Amalaki is that it heightens digestion yet is not heating. That's why it's traditionally considered one of the best herbs for balancing stomach acid. By enhancing digestion, it helps eliminate toxins from the body.
Another way that Amalaki helps purify toxins is by strengthening and stimulating the liver. If someone has accumulated toxins due to eating junk foods, leading an unhealthy lifestyle or being exposed to chemicals, Amalaki helps flush out toxins.

That reminds me...I need to put together another supplement order--that can take me a few days to figure out.  I like www.iherb.com for most stuff.  Check out the Planetary Herbals products on there. 

Oh cool! They have the Trikatu on there..something new I learned from searching for answers to your leaky gut question. http://www.iherb.com/Search?kw=trikatu That's what I thought too-- turmeric is better utilized when it has the pepper too: http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-Best-Curcumin-with-Bioperine-500-mg-120-Capsules/13?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Source-Naturals-Turmeric-Extract-100-Tablets/1421?at=0 Tweet
