Milk Thistle, Holy Basil, Turmeric Detox Trio
Ancient wisdom meets modern science...
For many years now, researchers and manufacturers have been attempting to extract the vital compounds from herbs. Known as herbal extracts, these products make up the bulk of what you'll find in most health food stores and pharmacies.
The problem is sometimes chemical solvents and heats are being used to prepare the extracts, significantly altering the herbs. The BioXpress herbal fermentation process is different. It allows the active compounds to express their true biological nature. Active compounds are unlocked and NEW compounds are created during the fermentation process. These vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, organic acids and antioxidants are a further expression of the herb.
These herbs will not only balance pH levels in the body but will help improve your digestive function and metabolism. When consumed in a fermented form called Terrain, these herbs support a healthy immune system, blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. You will notice increased energy and more balanced moods. Supports cellular health and integrity.
Fermentation creates beneficial metabolites such as organic acids and B vitamins.

Barbara's Story - IBS, Fibro, Depression,
Barbara
Last year at this time, Barbara weighed almost 183 pounds, suffered from constant fibromyalgia pain, IBS and limited mobility due to 3 degenerative discs in her lower spine. This is a story of triumph over personal challenges. Barbara has lost 30 pounds and is off all medication and says that she feels so much better - thanks to the power of God and his healing foods.
Barbara's health challenges started at birth and she entered the world
with a bruised face and damaged eye after her mother's long, difficult delivery. By age 7 she
experienced the symptoms of IBS, stomach pain and cramps, vomiting and weight
loss. She was underweight and in the
following years had her tonsils and appendix removed, suffered from anemia, peritonitis,
bronchitis, walking pneumonia, earaches, and sore throats.
As Barbara grew from teenager to adult she suffered from chronic knee
pain and back problems, and tried to control the pain with muscle relaxers,
NSAIDs, Bextra and Celebrex, never getting the relief she wanted.
The stress of a failed marriage at age 22 steered Barbara into what
she describes as a time of "heavy drinking and eating, an unrestrained
lifestyle and continued IBS symptoms."
Several years later, Barbara remarried and happily started a family. Although completely out of character she recalls having a frightening episode triggered by nothing more than her young child asking for a drink of water.
"I lost it!! I screamed, I cried. I had
no control. I had completely crumbled."
Her husband, Tom, rushed home from work to find Barbara in a heap, crying hysterically in front of the refrigerator. These episodes continued over 8 years, and Barbara began to tie them to her cycle, only finding relief while pregnant.
Barbara, age 38, and Tom had a happy home with four healthy, happy beautiful
little girls. They had a good church and school and lots of good friends and to
share their joy.
Then, once again, Barbara's health seemed to take a downward
turn when her youngest child was about a year and a half.
Doctors could not find the cause for her symptoms and after two years she remained feeling poorly, in pain and undiagnosed.
"I had pain, I slept all the time, I could not function to take care of my girls and I became severely depressed," Barbara recalled.
Then, once again, Barbara's health seemed to take a downward
turn when her youngest child was about a year and a half. Doctors could not find the cause for her symptoms and after two years she remained feeling poorly, in pain and undiagnosed.
"I had pain, I slept all the time, I could not function to take care of my girls and I became severely depressed," Barbara recalled.
Friends and relatives had to help Tom care for Barbara and the
children. "I did not want to live like this anymore. It wasn’t fair to Tom
or to the girls. They needed a healthy wife and mother. That wasn’t me…and
there was little hope I would ever get better since no doctor could say what
was wrong with me. So I made a decision. And I was sure it was the right thing,
the only thing, to do. I wanted a grown up to know what I was going to do, so
they could keep my girls from finding me. So I called the pastor from our
church and told him what I was going to do. He listened, and then made me
promise to wait one hour until he could get someone to help me. He called me
back and said he had made an appointment for me with a psychiatrist from our
church and that someone would be there to pick me up and take me to the
appointment."
Barbara was prescribed medication for severe depression and her
psychiatrist wondered if she might have chronic fatigue syndrome. A friend
suggested that she seek alternative medicine. The doctor recommended
that Barbara take certain herbs, homeopathic remedies and supplements and told
Barbara to discontinue eating sugar, salt, wheat, corn, dairy and caffeine, and
begin consulting with a nutritionist.
A job change and move from NJ to WI brought new challenges and Barbara
was unable to find a homeopathic doctor, but she found help from Mark, the owner of
Polson's health food store in Antioch,
IL. Although she lost weight, it wasn't soon before bad habits crept back in.
"I ate all the wrong things, was under unbelievable stress at
work, and ended up in the hospital with my bulging discs causing me so much
pain, I couldn’t walk," Barbara said.
She signed up with Weight Watchers. "I was appalled at all the chemicals they told you to eat. I knew better, but still didn’t have the initiative to do the right thing. Seven and a half years, and almost 40 pounds later, she was let go from her job.
"For the first 48 hours, I was devastated. But then realized that God would take care of us, and now it was time for me to take care of myself."
Barbara was unemployed, weighed more than she ever had, even while
pregnant, experienced brain fog and
constant pain.
Barbara remembers, "My friends, Steve and Cindy Nelson started Facebooking
me about Erin and the great results they were
getting following her program. Steve even dropped off a green smoothie he had
made so I could taste it. I knew then that this was the time, and I signed up
to attend Erin’s class. It was the best thing
I could have done for myself. By then I was on Tylenol with codeine every night
for pain. I would wake up and take Omeprazole for my constant GERD. I was also
on Paxil for depression and management of my fibro pain. I took Mucinex every
day since I had read it was good for fibromyalgia. I also took two Aleve for
pain during the day."
Within a few months on the plan Barbara had weaned herself off all
medication and added necessary nutritional supplements to her real food eating
plan.
Barbara includes green protein smoothies in her day and uses coconut
milk, Garden of Life Raw Protein, Nutrex Spirulina, chia
seeds, acerola powder, dark green leafy
vegetables and fresh berries. She enjoys eating avocado, organic meat, organic
butter and goat cheese, and free range eggs 5-6 days a week. Barbara drinks organic
tea, lots of water and an occasional glass of red wine. She cooks with unrefined
coconut oil or MacNut oil and adds extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to her salads
and occasionally eats gluten free bread. Barbara enjoys fresh fruit and nuts
for snacks and carries EVOO and coconut milk when she eats out.
Barbara lost 30 pounds, and says she feels so much better.
This is the plan she is determined to follow for the rest of her life.
"I still have about 20 more pounds to lose, still have some back
pain (which nothing can be done about) and suffer from GERD when I overeat or
eat something that does not agree with me. I am also gluten free, most of the
time. I will occasionally eat whatever I feel like, and then am sorry most of
the time, since it makes me feel so bad.
Everything I learned from my homeopathic doctor, Erin has reinforced,
and also added more information to help me be the healthiest I can be. I have
recommended her to many friends who have also been helped, and will continue to
offer her wisdom to anyone who will listen. She is a Godsend, and I thank Him
for her on a regular basis."
