The Eliminator     $18.95 Plus S&H    120 Caplets Health Benefits & Nutritional Data The Eliminator is a proprietary compound of the following ingredients: Butternut Root Bark - juglans cinerea - during the last century, has been known as one of the "most mild and efficacious laxatives" available, and as one of the "best and safest" laxatives to be found. The Native Americans reportedly boiled the kernels to extract the oil, which was then used like butter. The kernels were also pickled in vinegar by the early settlers. Today, Butternut root bark is getting a well-deserved renewal on interest in its well-documented cathartic properties. Butternut is good not only as a laxative, but also as a support treatment for various liver disorders and intestinal sickness, as practiced extensively in homeopathy. Butternut Bark of Root, also called White Walnut, is used to expel, rather than kill, worms (vermifuge) during the normal course of laxative-induced cleansing of the body. When combined with anthelmintics, Butternut provides the means to eliminate a parasitic mass from the body. These properties of the herb were well known in America in the early 1800's and probably even earlier. Cascara Sagrada - rhamni purshianae cortex and Rhamnus - is native to the forests of the North American Pacific Coast, ranging from northern California to British Columbia and almost to the Alaska panhandle. Cascara bark is now listed as a laxative in the pharmacopoeias of over 17 different countries around the world. The bark is primarily used for constipation and for conditions that require a softened stool such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and after rectal-anal surgery. Cascara bark acts as a mild laxative that works by preventing electrolytes and water from being absorbed in the large intestine; the excess liquid softens the stool and promotes bowel contractions. Both the German and British Pharmacopoeias recommend Cascara bark for constipation and for all disorders in which defecation with a soft stool is desired, e.g. anal fissures, hemorrhoids and after rectal operations. The active glycosides are hydrolyzed in the gut into their aglycones at least in part by the action of bacterial enzymes; by influencing the water and electrolyte transport in the colon, these aglycones are responsible for the laxative action. Rhubarb - rheum palmatumand - has many uses. The most common is medicinal. Rhubarb has been used in medicines and folk healing for centuries. It is recognized that rhubarb not only exercises a digestive action but it operates directly as a conveyer of bile salts. It can therefore be classed as a hepatic stimulant. Rhubarb performs its first digestive operation in the mouth by stimulating the taste buds with its pleasantly bitter flavor which gives a sense of cleansing out the oral cavity, preparing it to taste the coming food. When it reaches the stomach its digestive effects come into full play, causing an increase of the flow of gastric juice and inducing their movement, thus favoring the processing of the contents of the stomach. Besides stimulating the secretions from the liver which convey the bile salts, it assists the intestine in regulating the absorption of fats. Rhubarb is used as a laxative, antiphlogistic, and homeostatic in the treatment of constipation, diarrhea, jaundice, gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, menstrual disorders, conjunctivitis, traumatic injuries, superficial suppurative sores and ulcers. It is also applied externally for thermal burns. In TCM terms it Drains Heat and accumulations from the Yangming level, Clears Damp Heat, Cools the Blood, Invigorates Blood, eliminates Stagnant Blood and Clears Toxic Heat and purges knotted Heat and stool from the colon. Concepts in purgation In order to understand the use of purges in TCM it is important to understand the concepts and principles of purgation as applied in herbal practice. The 3 main types of purging are as follows: 1.Cold purge (heat clearing): for symptoms such as constipation due to inflammation and paralysis of the colon - i.e. knotted Heat. 2.Warm purge (inner warming): for acute circulatory disturbance of the digestive tract due to consumption of cold food and drink, and cold environment - i.e. cold accumulation or Yang deficient constipation. 3.Moistening purge (moisten dry intestine): for constipation due to dehydration or poor nutrition resulting in dryness of the intestine (insufficient colonic membrane secretions) - i.e. dry intestine constipation. 4.Water expulsion: for hydrothorax, ascites, oedema. Burdock Root - arctium lappa - native to Asia and Europe, is the primary source of many herbal preparations. It as a popular root vegetable in Japanese markets (called "gobo") and has been used for centuries as a staple in traditional Chinese medicine for conditions like tonsillitis and measles. Historically, Burdock root has also been administered for conditions such as gout, ulcers, arthritis, rheumatism, and various skin disorders. While studies have been limited to animals and in vitro, the active constituents of burdock have shown anti-bacterial properties making it useful for bacteria-related conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Additional test results have confirmed actions associated with blood purification, toxic immunity, hypoglycemia, and inflammation. Fennel Seed - foeniculum vulgare, F. officinalis - is primarily used in the treatment of mild, spasmodic gastrointestinal complaints such as flatulence and colic in children, and indigestion, bloating and heartburn in adults. Both the seeds and the root are appetite stimulants and sooth the digestion. The volatile oil has both carminative and spasmolytic actions, and has been shown to increase liver regeneration experimentally. Fennel is a useful remedy for upper respiratory catarrh and has a calming effect on bronchitis and coughs. It is also diuretic, and is used to treat urinary calculi. The volatile oil is bactericidal and anti-fungal, and has been shown to be effective in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. It is also slightly oestrogenic, and is a well-known means of promoting the flow of breast milk. Ginger Root - zingiber officinale - one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicines, it is used to treat a number of conditions ranging from digestive upset to arthritis. The part used medicinally and in cooking is the underground stem, or rhizome, which is available in many forms. Most research has concentrated on the use of ginger in treating nausea and vomiting, especially motion sickness. While not all positive, the majority of clinical trials show that ginger can decrease some of the symptoms of motion sickness, including sea sickness, when compared to a placebo and to some conventional antinausea drugs. Ginger products may also be of help in decreasing nausea caused by anesthetics (see adverse effects) and may be useful in morning sickness (see adverse effects). Large doses of ginger (greater than 5 g per day) may also be useful in treating joint and muscle pains. Irish Moss - carageenin - is a sweet and salty seaweed that contains polysaccharides, proteins, mucins, amino acids, iodine, bromine and manganese salts. Its demulcent, nutrient, and emollient pharmacological actions have made it useful for treating lung diseases (associated with dryness), tuberculosis, as well as sores and ulcers. The systems of the body affected by Irish moss include the lungs and stomach. Irish moss is used for lung diseases associated with dryness and/or wasting. It is also used topically or internally for ulcers and sores. It is commonly prepared as a syrup with Iceland moss and blackstrap molasses. Slippery Elm Bark - ulmus fulva - is a very old and very safe remedy. Anecdotal reports of herbalists suggest that powdered bark in hot water will soothe the throat and stomach. Even though the claims are unsupported by clinical trials, the latest laboratory studies suggest that the herbalists were correct. Marshmallow - althaea officinalis - has been utilized for thousands of years not only as a food during times of famine, but for its healing properties as an herbal remedy. Primary chemical constituents of Marshmallow include mucilage, polysaccharides, flavonoids (quercetin, kaaempferol), asparagine, tannins, lecithin, and pectin. The great demulcent and emollient properties of Marshmallow make it useful in inflammation and irritation of the alimentary canal, and of the urinary and respiratory organs. Recently, Marshmallow has been used as an expectorant to treat a variety of upper respiratory problems. Marshmallow contains large amounts of vitamin A, calcium, zinc and significant amounts of iron, sodium, iodine, and B-complex. Like slippery elm, Marshmallow reduces inflammation and has a calming effect on the body. The active constituents in Marshmallow are large carbohydrate (sugar) molecules, which make up the mucilage. This smooth, slippery substance can soothe and protect irritated mucous membranes. Although Marshmallow has primarily been used for the respiratory and digestive tracts, its high mucilage content may also provide some minor relief for urinary tract and skin infections. Marshmallow's mucilage content helps soothe inflamed tissues, often caused by bronchitis and asthma. Marshmallow also relieves dryness and irritation in the chest and throat, usually brought on by colds and persistent coughs. Marshmallow has been known to relieve indigestion, kidney problems, urinary tract infections, and even external skin wounds such as boils and abscesses. Licorice Root Ext. DLG - glycyrrhiza glabra - has been used in ancient cultures on every continent, the first recorded use by the Egyptians in the 3rd century BC. The Egyptians and the Greeks recognized the herb's benefits in treating coughs and lung disease. Licorice was so valued in ancient Egypt that even King Tutankhamen was buried with a supply. Licorice is the second most prescribed herb in China, where it is suggested for treatment of the spleen, liver and kidney. The Japanese use a licorice preparation to treat hepatitis. At one time in Germany, licorice was a more popular gift to give than chocolate as it was reputed to sexually arouse women. The most common medical use for licorice root is for treating upper respiratory ailments including coughs, hoarseness, sore throat, and bronchitis. Glycyrrhizin stimulates the secretion of the adrenal cortex hormone "aldosterone". This herb can be as effective as codeine, and safer, when used as a cough suppressant. Rhizomes in licorice have a high mucilage content which, when mixed with water or used in cough drops, sooths irritated mucous membranes. The use of licorice also has an expectorant effect which increases the secretion of the bronchial glands. Today, herbal preparations containing licorice root are used to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, lower acid levels and coat the stomach wall with a protective gel. Rarely used alone, licorice is a common component of many herbal teas as a mild laxative, a diuretic, and for flatulence. It has also been known to relieve rheumatism and arthritis, regulate low blood sugar, and is effective for Addison's disease. The root extract produces mild estrogenic effects, and it has proven useful in treating symptoms of menopause, regulating menstruation, and relieving menstrual cramps. Peppermint Leaf - is actually quite a new plant, being a hybrid of two other kinds of mint, probably water mint and spearmint. Like all other mints, it is rich in volatile oils, which accounts for its aromatic scent. Most research has focused on the use of peppermint in digestive conditions. Constituents found in the herb appear to aid digestion, relieve nausea and ease spasms, possibly by affecting how calcium is used by the muscles. A recent review of all the clinical studies suggests that enteric- coated peppermint oil is effective in treating irritable bowel disease. Peppermint tea can also be used for colds and flu. In a recent clinical trial, massaging peppermint oil with eucalyptus oil onto the temples relieved headaches. Barberry Bark - berberis vulgaris L. - bark and roots are traditionally used for digestive complaints, liver ailments, and disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract. Berberis is used to treat hepatitis, cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder), jaundice and gallstones. Pure berberine has been included in eye drops to treat conjunctivitis. Red Raspberry Leaf - rubus idaeus - tea may assist the body in the maintenance of healthy female systems. Its long history of safe human consumption is evident over thousands of years of use by women in Europe and North America to support the body's management of normal reproductive processes. Infusions of raspberry leaf have been traditionally used as a bodily aid by women of the Cherokee, Iroquois and Mohawk nations of North America. Cayenne - capsicum annum - the potent, hot fruit of cayenne has been used as an herbal remedy for centuries. It was considered helpful by herbalists for various conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, including stomachaches, cramping pains, and gas. In a double-blind study of people with dyspepsia (heartburn), supplementation with 833 mg of cayenne powder in capsules, three times per day before meals, reduced heartburn symptoms by 48%, compared with a placebo. However, two of 15 individuals receiving cayenne discontinued it because of abdominal pain. While Cayenne would certainly help with indigestion and heartburn, I would not recommend it as being the best product to treat your Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, we do carry several products such as Licorice Root, Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm Bark that would all be suitable for treating both your indigestion and reflux condition. Triphala Amla - is recommended and used more than any other Ayurvedic herbal formulation. Popular for its unique ability to gently cleanse and detoxify the system while simultaneously replenishing and nourishing it, this traditional formula supports the proper functions of the digestive, circulatory, respiratory and genitourinary systems. Translated as "three fruits" it is composed of the dried fruits of amalaki, bibhitaki and haritaki. Containing five of the six tastes (all but salty), Triphala readily removes excess vata, pitta and kapha from the body, bringing balance and proper functioning to the system. It is commonly taken as a daily supplement to help maintain balance of the doshas.
