hi ptree and tracey, so, does this mean you're not a fan of Dr. Schulze intestinal formula #1? (because it contains cathartic herbs) i feel like it has put me on the road to recovery! i'd love to hear your opinion, and for now, i'm keeping with it, as i'm leading up to my first major Bowel Cleanse (his IF#2 program). thank you so much! I LOVE THIS WEBSITE.
