Frequently Asked Questions

Three kinds of supplements are used most often for digestion and bloating. The first is digestive enzymes, which work to break down foods and relieve the pancreas. The second is probiotics, which also aid in the overall digestion of food and assimilation of nutrients, and maintain the overall integrity and health of the intestines. The third most popular supplement are herbs that promote digestion like ginger, turmeric, and green black walnut hull.

The original cleanse sequence is as follows: Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Kidney Cleanse, Liver Cleanse. Optionally, the Candida Cleanse can be done after the Parasite Cleanse or at the same time since both cleanses help to balance microorganisms. If you choose to do the Heavy Metal Cleanse, this one is recommended last in the cleanse series.

We do not claim that all of our products are organic. Although we try to source organic or wildcrafted raw materials, if a raw material does not pass our testing procedures for potency and purity, we will not use it. Furthermore, our manufacturing facility is not registered by the US government to process certified organic foods, and therefore we cannot claim our products are organic, with the exception of those that we felt it necessary to obtain additional ogranic certification, like our Organic Turmeric.

Some of our herbal supplements are listed as a Proprietary Blend instead of indicating the milligrams of each herb. Although some manufacturers do this because they want to keep their formula a trade secret, or to prevent consumers from knowing the extact milligrams of ingredients they are taking, we use the proprietary blend label to keep prices as economical as possible, given the large overhead for producing pure supplements. If we were to state the milligrams for each herb in a single formula, we would routinely have to perform potency testing to comply with GMP regulations. We feel this test is unnecessary because we perform identity testing on every herb that arrives at our facility using HPTLC (high performance thin layer chromatography), the best method possible. Performing this extra test only adds cost. If you would like to know the ingredient proportions for any of our products, please don’t hesitate to ask us. We’re more than happy the tell you.

You can do some overlapping of the different cleanses. Just remember that each cleanse requires taking several supplements every day. If you become overwhelmed by the amount of supplements or your body reacts poorly to the amount of supplements, stop and do the cleanses separately. You can do the Digestive Aid Cleanse and Parasite Cleanse together, or even the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, and Kidney Cleanse together. If you are doing the optional Candida Cleanse, this pairs well with the Parasite Cleanse. If you are doing the Liver Cleanse, you can complete part 1 (drinking the Liver Support Tea) while doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Candida Cleanse or Kidney Cleanse. However, part 2 of the Liver Cleanse (the 2-day liver flush) should be done on its own - stop all other cleansing during the 2-day liver flush, and you can resume other cleanses after the flush is done. The Heavy Metal Cleanse should be done on its own.

Depending on the type and severity of your digestive complaint, different remedies might be more suitable. For excess gas and bloating, and overall digestion of protein, carbs, and fats, digestive enzymes and pancreatin are popular. If the main goal is improved protein metabolism, then Betaine HCL and/or HCL can be helpful. If the main goal is relief of constipation, then either a laxative like cascara sagrada or magnesium sulfate could be helpful, along with an enema.  

Improving digestion starts with consumer the optimal foods for your individual abilities and needs. Digestive enzymes, particularly those secreted by the pancreas, improves digestion if your main problem is production of enough of a certain type of enzyme. By taking a spectrum of enzymes, you ensure you are getting enough to digest all of your food. Probiotics taken with a meal is another highly effective option for many people.

The number one supplement for gut health ideally is a combination of enzymes and probiotics in one capsule. These are difficult to find from a pure source and it is more economical to buy them separately and combine as needed. If you had to choose between enzymes or probiotics, it may largely depend on whether you are needing more help digesting food (enzymes) or having other GI problems deeper in the GI tract (probiotics).

The answer depends on a person’s condition. If battling gut infection and dysbiosis, probiotics might be more beneficial. If suffering from liver or pancreas insufficiency, and poor digestion of certain foods, then digestive enzymes would be more helpful. Ultimately, taking both can be helpful for a wider variety of conditions, and can provide systemic benefits when taken on an empty stomach.

Digestive issues can have one or more causes related to either nutrient deficiency, insufficient enzyme production, or the imbalance of microflora in the intestine. Some experience poor digestion from certain foods that contain anti-nutrients, like beans and unsprouted grains. Others find they cannot process dairy, or certain fruits and vegetables, like melon, mushrooms, or asparagus.

There are three common types of natural remedies people use for digestion and gas. One is digestive enzymes, which are designed to help with indigestion resulting from gas and bloating. Another category of natural products aim to improve the intestinal microbiome, called probiotics. These include: prebiotics, probiotic organisms, and what are called post-biotics like Betaine HCL which can be very helpful for digestion and gas resulting from gut dysbiosis. Lastly, some people have great success with herbal remedies, like herbal bitters, Fennel seeds, Chlorophyllin, and essential oils and teas from herbs like Peppermint. 

Everyone is different and may need a different supplement. The most widely effective and popular supplement is digestive enzymes, due to their wide spectrum of uses and benefits beyond digestion. They also have less chance of side-effects, or risk of depleting some other co-factor nutrient, as can happen with some vitamins. If taken without food, enzymes travel throughout the body and have a systemic effect, helping to dissolve fibrin and toxic protein tangles that build up in the body and joints, helping with intracellular and extracellular cleanup.

The three most important supplements are Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes, and a multivitamin/mineral.

The best supplement to take every day is a simple herbal formula containing potent phytochemicals, like turmeric,

The enzyme in Beano, Alpha-galactosidase, helps the body metabolize oligosaccharides before they get to the colon and cause excess gas as they are metabolized by bacteria.  

Many reason could account for this and its best to speak with a medical professional if you are in pain or constipated for more than a couple days. If you feel full and have eaten regularly, then it is more likely that constipation is the issue.

Probiotic beverages can be very helpful for digestive problems. 

Each person is different, but you should aim for around 2-to-3 bowel movements per day. 

Magnesium helps digestion in two main ways. One, by helping to create many enzymes required for digestion and nutrient absorption. Two, by taking large amounts to flush the GI tract. 

Three kinds of supplements are used most often for digestion and bloating. The first is digestive enzymes, which work to break down foods and relieve the pancreas. The second is probiotics, which also aid in the overall digestion of food and assimilation of nutrients, and maintain the overall integrity and health of the intestines. The third most popular supplement are herbs that promote digestion like ginger, turmeric, and green black walnut hull.

NAC (N‑acetyl cysteine) is an amino acid that delivers cysteine—the rare “LEGO brick” your body needs to make glutathione, often called the body’s master antioxidant. By restocking cysteine, NAC helps your cells rebuild glutathione so they can better neutralize everyday “cellular rust” (oxidative stress) from diet, pollution, and other stressors, supporting overall cellular resilience.

NAC helps the liver by replenishing the raw materials it needs to maintain healthy levels of glutathione, the liver’s key detoxifying molecule. In practical terms, NAC:

1. Shields vulnerable cells from daily oxidative “rusting”

2. Restocks the liver’s natural detox chemicals

3. Helps process and clear routine environmental toxins (including from occasional alcohol)

NAC physically thins thick mucus by breaking the sticky protein bonds in airway secretions—like microscopic scissors—so congestion becomes less gluey and easier to clear. When using NAC for respiratory support, expect a strong sulfur (“rotten egg”) smell; it’s normal and harmless and doesn’t affect its benefits.

A common starting dose is 600 mg once or twice daily. For comfort, take it with meals to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and drink extra water to support the mucus‑thinning effect. While NAC is often absorbed best on an empty stomach, taking it with food is a reliable alternative if you’re sensitive.

NAC is generally safe to take with other vitamins. Most people tolerate it well; minor effects like dry mouth or mild nausea can occur. Because needs and tolerances vary—and to address any concerns about long‑term use—consult your doctor before starting NAC to ensure it fits your overall health regimen.

Let’s start with the big question: is it worth adding heart supplements to your diet? The honest answer is… sometimes, but not for everyone. Most people don’t actually need supplements if they’re already eating a balanced diet and living a healthy lifestyle. Supplements can be helpful if you have a deficiency, a diagnosed heart condition, or your doctor specifically recommends them—but they’re not a shortcut to preventing heart disease. In fact, things like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management have a much bigger impact.

So what are the best supplements for cardiovascular health? The ones with the most research behind them include omega-3 fatty acids, coenzyme Q10, and magnesium. Omega-3s can help lower triglycerides and inflammation. CoQ10 supports energy production in your heart cells. And magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and heart rhythm. But even with these, the benefits are usually modest, and they tend to work best in people who actually need them.

What are the worst supplements for heart health? Some can actually do more harm than good. High doses of fish oil, for example, have been linked to an increased risk of irregular heart rhythms in some people. Synthetic beta-carotene has been associated with higher cardiovascular risk in certain groups. And red yeast rice, while popular, can act like a statin drug—but without proper regulation or safety monitoring. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe.

If you want to increase CoQ10 naturally, your best bet is through food. Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel, organ meats like liver, whole grains, and nuts all contain CoQ10. But keep in mind, your natural levels tend to decline as you age.

What does CoQ10 actually do? It’s a compound your body naturally produces that helps generate energy in your cells and acts as an antioxidant. It’s especially important for your heart, which requires a lot of energy to function. Some studies suggest it may help people with heart conditions, but it’s not a cure-all.

Omega-3 supplements can help lower triglycerides and reduce inflammation, which are both linked to heart health. But here’s the nuance—they don’t seem to significantly reduce your overall risk of heart attack or stroke if you’re otherwise healthy. That’s why most experts recommend getting omega-3s from whole foods like fish whenever possible.

Fish oil is a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA. These fats support heart function, help manage triglyceride levels, and may reduce inflammation. But again, the benefits aren’t as dramatic as many marketing claims suggest.

What is vitamin C, and why is it important? Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant that supports your immune system, helps your body produce collagen, and protects your cells from damage. For your heart, it can support blood vessel function and help reduce inflammation. The best way to get it is through foods like citrus fruits, berries, peppers, and leafy greens.

Folic acid, or vitamin B9, plays a key role in DNA production, red blood cell formation, and overall cellular health. It’s especially important during pregnancy because it helps prevent birth defects. It also helps regulate homocysteine levels, which are linked to heart disease risk. Some people benefit from supplementation, but again—it depends on your individual needs.

The reality is that most of them don’t deliver long-term results. Many rely on stimulants, appetite suppression, or temporary water loss. They might give short-term changes, but they don’t address the root causes of weight gain—and some can even come with risks, especially for heart health and risks of osteoporosis. The best supplements for weight loss are those that naturally boost metabolism, like berberine, boost GLP-1, like the probiotic Akkermansia, or that reduce sugar cravings, like chromium.

No. Our zapper does not have “program keys”. Our zappers use the plate zapping method instead - the original method. In case you are interested, Dr. Clark never used zappers with “program keys”. She was strictly against those. The frequency created from “program keys” is different from “plate zapping”. She never used zappers that used program keys.

This is the best frequency. Dr. Clark stated that any current between 30 and 33 kHz was what she wanted.

The frequency devices we sell and others like it are widely used for a variety of reasons. Our customers follow many different paths that require the use of magnets and frequency devices such as the SyncroZap. Some follow the teachings of Dr. Tiller, for example. Others use the SyncroZap Frequency unit in their own unique ways. More information under question 15. 

We do not provide information about the zapper relating to any diseases. Per FDA regulations we cannot make any medical claims about our zappers. Parasites can lead to a disease and that is why we cannot answer those questions. Only when selling FDA approved medical devices and drugs can one make such claims

What is the minimum and maximum amount of time I should zap? Start with a single 7 - minute session. There is no maximum usage time. It simply depends on your tolerance. If you are zapping for a long time please make sure your wristbands are wet. The SyncroZap zapper can be used on a daily basis for as long as you like.

There is no limit to how much or long you can zap for. Start with a single 7 - minute session. Four hours later or the day after zap for a longer time. Once you feel like you have zapped enough then reduce zapping to once per week as an example.

If you zap for a longer time than 20 minutes and are using the wristbands then please check if your wristbands are moist. If they are dry then you may get a red rash and start to itch. 

No, and do not touch it either. Your doctor may have explained to you that having a pacemaker involves certain risks, and in order to reduce those risks you may not want to subject your body to electrical frequencies, no matter how low they are.

The zapper should never be used on people with electronic implants such as pacemakers. While the device can be used by those with non-electronic implants, do not place the electrodes so that the current flows through the implant. This is a safety precaution to avoid causing any metal ions to seep from the implant due to the current.

We have not received any complaints from people we know who have metal implants and regularly use the zapper. We have talked to people with both stainless steel and pure titanium implants and none of them reported any inconvenience. Some have experienced slight tingling at the implant site. Make sure you keep the unit at 30-33 kHz, not 1 kHz (Zappicator Continuous setting). Some people are concerned that if the implant is not titanium that it can cause ions to escape into the body. Ask your doctor if it is titanium or stainless steel. If you have any implants you will most likely have some additional metallic ions escaping into your body, so taking supplements that act as chelating agents would be helpful, regardless if you zap or not. The implant may act as a magnet to the current and take away current from other areas; therefore, choose the location of electrodes accordingly.

Here is an anecdotal testimony about this: I have a titanium implant and have had concerns about electrolysis. Zappers that generate more than one frequency will usually give me discomfort. I have several zappers bought from several sources and also several that I've made myself. What I've experienced is that you may feel buzzing and tingling sensations where you have the titanium. My implant is in my arm so I usually zap through my feet to alleviate this.

You can use the zapper just about anywhere on your body. However, we recommend against using it on your face (for cosmetic reasons and because in some rare cases it might provoke a seizure if someone is prone to seizures already).

The Parasite Cleanse is 18-days long. However, it is recommended to do the weekly Maintenance Program for at least four weeks after the initial 18-day cleanse. Consider staying on the Maintenance Program indefinitely like Dr. Clark often recommended.

Dr. Clark suggested doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse either before or at the same time as the Parasite Cleanse; however, the Digestive Aid Cleanse is not mandatory. Digestion uses up a lot of energy. Rebalancing digestive function frees up energy to be used elsewhere in the body, which is helpful when cleansing other organ systems.

You can do some overlapping of the different cleanses. Just remember that each cleanse requires taking several supplements every day. If you become overwhelmed by the amount of supplements or your body reacts poorly to the amount of supplements, stop and do the cleanses separately. You can do the Digestive Aid Cleanse and Parasite Cleanse together, or even the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, and Kidney Cleanse together. If you are doing the optional Candida Cleanse, this pairs well with the Parasite Cleanse. If you are doing the Liver Cleanse, you can complete part 1 (drinking the Liver Support Tea) while doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Candida Cleanse or Kidney Cleanse. However, part 2 of the Liver Cleanse (the 2-day liver flush) should be done on its own - stop all other cleansing during the 2-day liver flush, and you can resume other cleanses after the flush is done. The Heavy Metal Cleanse should be done on its own.

Along with the regimen of herbs, Dr. Clark also recommended using a frequency generating device called a Zapper. However, using a Zapper is not mandatory. Please conduct your own research about using a Zapper. Dr. Clark’s books are a great place for such information.

No dietary changes are necessary when taking the Parasite Cleanse or the weekly Maintenance Program. However, eating a clean, whole food-based diet may be beneficial since diets high in processed foods, refined grains, and refined sugars support parasite growth. Dr. Clark also recommended reducing or quitting coffee while cleansing, but this is not required.

While it’s not mandatory to cut out alcohol consumption during the Parasite Cleanse, it may be beneficial to do so. Alcohol gets converted to sugar in the body and parasites and other microbes feed on available sugar.

Please consult with your doctor or pharmacist regarding possible drug interactions between prescriptions or over the counter drugs and the Parasite Cleanse herbs.

You can expect increased elimination from all of Dr. Clark’s cleanses. Some people have reported minor flu-like symptoms. This is part of the Herxheimer Reaction (or herx reaction). When organisms are dying faster than your body can eliminate them, this can cause mild flu or allergy type symptoms. If you experience severe discomfort while on the Parasite Cleanse, you should stop taking the supplements and contact your healthcare professional.

You may also have difficulty sleeping while on the Parasite Cleanse. Dr. Clark attributed this to increased ammonia levels from waste products as microbes die. Increased ammonia in the brain, according to Dr. Clark, can cause sleep disturbances. Taking the amino acid ornithine can help to counteract the ammonia.

While some individuals may see evidence of organisms in their stool, this is not typical. You should not expect to see interesting “things” in your toilet bowl from the Parasite Cleanse.

Everyone’s body reacts differently to supplements. While it is common to experience better digestion during the Parasite Cleanse, some individuals may also experience a change in bowel movements. If you experience severe diarrhea while on the Parasite Cleanse, we suggest that you consult with your doctor.

Dr. Clark was adamant that Black Walnut Hull and Wormwood killed the adult and larval stages and Cloves killed the eggs. She insisted on using the three herbs together to attack all stages of the lifecycle.

Detailed directions are included with purchase. You can also view the directions here. https://drclarkstore.com/pages/digestive-aid-cleanse-instructions/

Optionally, the Candida Cleanse can be done after the Parasite Cleanse or at the same time since both cleanses help to balance microorganisms. If you choose to do the Heavy Metal Cleanse, this one is recommended last in the cleanse series.

You can follow the standard use instructions for a 17-day cleanse. Or you can follow the intensive use instructions for a minimum of seven days, but you will have enough product remaining to do an additional four days on the intensive schedule if you desire.

Dr. Clark suggested doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse either before or at the same time as the Parasite Cleanse; however, the Digestive Aid Cleanse is not mandatory. Digestion uses up a lot of energy. Rebalancing digestive function frees up energy to be used elsewhere in the body, which is helpful when cleansing other organ systems.

No diet changes are necessary while on the cleanse but eating as clean as possible is beneficial for digestion whether or not you are cleansing. You do want to make sure to drink plenty of water during the cleanse to help flush out toxins.

You can continue to take your normal routine of supplements while on the cleanse. Check with your doctor or a pharmacist about potential interactions between your medication and the cleanse supplements.

Although not mandatory, Dr. Clark recommended doing a daily enema for one week to maintain bowel function. Consider an enema protocol if you do not have a daily bowel movement. Enema solutions can include salt water, plain water, digestive enzymes, or probiotics. Enema solution recipes can be found online. 

Only take the Cascara Sagrada as suggested if you don't have daily bowel movements. Cascara Sagrada is an herb that has laxative properties.

You may expect better elimination and improved digestive function with this cleanse. If you experience severe discomfort, you should stop the cleanse and contact a healthcare professional.

Everyone's body reacts differently to supplements. While it is common to experience better digestion on the Digestive Aid Cleanse, some individuals may also experience a change in bowel movements. With the exception of Cascara Sagrada, the products in the cleanse kit may have little to no effect on your bowels. If you do not have regular bowel movements and choose to take the Cascara Sagrada capsules as suggested, you may experience diarrhea as a result of the herb's laxative properties.

While it is advised to follow the cleanse schedule as close as possible, if you miss a day or two, simply pick up where you left off. If you stop for four days or longer, we recommend starting at the beginning.

The Digestive Aid Cleanse should be done on an as needed basis. Or consider doing the cleanse once or twice a year to reset digestive function if you feel it's needed.

There is no maintenance program for the Digestive Aid Cleanse, but you may consider continuing with the Betaine HCL capsules with each meal.

We do not recommend giving children under the age of 18 the Digestive Aid Cleanse. Always consult with a healthcare professional before giving children nutritional supplements designed for adults.

If you are pregnant, we do not recommend that you do the Digestive Aid Cleanse without speaking with your doctor first.

Because compounds found naturally in the Digestive Aid Cleanse products can get into breast milk, we do not recommend that you do the cleanse while you are breastfeeding. Please consult with your doctor before attempting to do the cleanse.

We do not recommend giving your pet the Digestive Aid Cleanse. Only Dr. Clark's Parasite Cleanse can be modified for dogs and cats. Please consult with a veterinarian before giving your pets nutritional supplements or cleansing protocols designed for humans.

The suggested use printed on each supplement label is for taking the single supplement on an as needed basis for general health purposes. The higher dosage suggestions in the Digestive Aid Cleanse directions are specifically for the cleanse protocol.

The Digestive & Constipation Aid includes the same five supplements in the Digestive Aid Cleanse plus additional products to help regulate the bowels.

The Quick Digestive Aid is a readymade blend of ingredients. It is convenient for travelling and for busy lifestyles. The Quick Digestive Aid can be used as an alternative to the standard Digestive Aid Cleanse; however, the standard cleanse is more potent and more thorough.

Detailed directions are included with purchase. You can also view the directions here.

The cleanse is 21 days long. You can continue the cleanse for longer, but you will need to purchase more of each product.

The original cleanse sequence is as follows: Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Kidney Cleanse, Liver Cleanse. Optionally, the Candida Cleanse can be done after the Parasite Cleanse or at the same time since both cleanses help to balance microorganisms. If you choose to do the Heavy Metal Cleanse, this one is recommended last in the cleanse series.

It is recommended but not mandatory. Clearing up digestive issues first frees up energy that can be dedicated to the kidneys during the cleanse. 

You can do some overlapping of the different cleanses. Just remember that each cleanse requires taking several supplements every day. If you become overwhelmed by the amount of supplements or your body reacts poorly to the amount of supplements, stop and do the cleanses separately. You can do the Digestive Aid Cleanse and Parasite Cleanse together, or even the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, and Kidney Cleanse together. If you are doing the optional Candida Cleanse, this pairs well with the Parasite Cleanse. If you are doing the Liver Cleanse, you can complete part 1 (drinking the Liver Support Tea) while doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Candida Cleanse or Kidney Cleanse. However, part 2 of the Liver Cleanse (the 2-day liver flush) should be done on its own - stop all other cleansing during the 2-day liver flush, and you can resume other cleanses after the flush is done. The Heavy Metal Cleanse should be done on its own.

No dietary changes are necessary during the Kidney Cleanse. You do want to make sure to drink plenty of water during the cleanse to help flush out toxins.

You can continue to take your normal routine of supplements while on the cleanse. Check with your doctor or a pharmacist about potential interactions between your medication and the cleanse supplements.

You may experience increased urination, as some products in the cleanse have diuretic properties. If you experience severe discomfort, you should stop the cleanse and contact a healthcare professional.

While it is advised to follow the cleanse schedule as close as possible, if you miss a day or two, simply pick up where you left off. If you stop for four days or longer, we recommend starting at the beginning.

The Kidney Cleanse should be done on an as needed basis. Or consider doing the cleanse once or twice a year to reset kidney function if you feel it's needed.

If you are pregnant, we do not recommend that you do the Kidney Cleanse without speaking with your doctor first.

Because compounds found naturally in the Kidney Cleanse products can get into breast milk, we do not recommend that you do the cleanse while you are breastfeeding. Please consult with your doctor before attempting to do the cleanse.

While the Kidney Cleanse products are beneficial for your remaining kidney, we recommend that you speak with your doctor before doing the cleanse. 

If you already have a form of kidney disease, we recommend that you speak with your doctor before doing the cleanse.

The suggested use printed on each supplement label is for taking the single supplement on an as needed basis for general health purposes. The higher dosage suggestions in the Kidney Cleanse directions are specifically for the cleanse protocol.

If you follow the tea preparation directions and the suggested serving size of 3/4 cup per day, the tea will last approximately 14 days. You can get double the amount of tea (28 days) if you use the herbs a second time. Simply freeze the herbs after straining the tea and use one more time.

Dark Cherry Concentrate does more than just improve the taste of the Kidney Cleanse Tea. While cherries provide a nutrient profile rich in vitamins and antioxidants that support the health of the whole body, they are also a good source of citrate, a derivative of citric acid. Citrate reduces levels of uric acid in the blood. High levels of circulating uric acid can contribute to kidney stone formation.

If you follow the cleanse directions exactly, one cleanse kit has enough product for only one person to complete the 21-day cleanse.

The Quick Kidney Cleanse is a readymade blend of ingredients. It is convenient for travelling and for busy lifestyles. The Quick Kidney Cleanse can be used as an alternative to the standard Kidney Cleanse; however, the standard cleanse is more potent and more thorough. 

According to traditional medicine views, the ingredients in the Kidney Cleanse have properties that may help to dissolve and prevent the formation of kidney stones. But we cannot guarantee that the Kidney Cleanse will dissolve kidney stones.

Some of the naturally occurring compounds in the Kidney Cleanse may help to reduce the size of kidney stones, making them easier to pass; however, we cannot guarantee this outcome in all cases. If you have a kidney stone diagnosis, we recommend that you talk to your doctor about the best course of action for your situation.

The cleanse is up to 16 days long. Part 1 of the cleanse consists of drinking the Liver Support Tea for up to two weeks. Then follow up with part 2 of the cleanse, which is the 2-day liver flush.

It is not recommended that you do the Liver Cleanse without completing the other cleanses first. If you were to purge the toxins from your liver without having clear channels of elimination, you run the risk recirculating the toxins, which can make you ill. Completing the digestive, parasite, and kidney cleanses first helps to clear the elimination channels.

You can do some overlapping of the different cleanses. Just remember that each cleanse requires taking several supplements every day. If you become overwhelmed by the amount of supplements or your body reacts poorly to the amount of supplements, stop and do the cleanses separately. You can do the Digestive Aid Cleanse and Parasite Cleanse together, or even the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, and Kidney Cleanse together. If you are doing the optional Candida Cleanse, this pairs well with the Parasite Cleanse. If you are doing the Liver Cleanse, you can complete part 1 (drinking the Liver Support Tea) while doing the Digestive Aid Cleanse, Parasite Cleanse, Candida Cleanse or Kidney Cleanse. However, part 2 of the Liver Cleanse (the 2-day liver flush) should be done on its own - stop all other cleansing during the 2-day liver flush, and you can resume other cleanses after the flush is done. The Heavy Metal Cleanse should be done on its own.

During part 1 of the Liver Cleanse (drinking the Liver Support Tea), no dietary changes are necessary. During part 2 of the cleanse (the liver flush), you will be instructed to eat a limited diet for two days. Dietary restrictions include all fats, artificial sweeteners, and processed sweets. Dietary restrictions and allowed food suggestions are included in the Liver Cleanse directions.

When you eat dietary fats, your gallbladder releases bile to help with fat digestion. A non-fat diet during the liver flush allows bile to accumulate and causes pressure to build in the liver. The pressure helps to strengthen the elimination process and encourages a more thorough removal of wastes.

Drink enough water to stay hydrated during the liver flush. If you require more water than the recommended 3/4 cup when taking each dose of 15 magnesium sulfate capsules, that's OK. Limiting your intake of fluids during the liver flush helps to build pressure in the liver, which will aid the elimination of toxins and hardened deposits. But of course, listen to your body and judge if you need more water to stay hydrated. After the flush is over you can resume your regular consumption of fluids, the majority of which should be water for general health purposes.

In general, you should check with your doctor or a pharmacist about potential interactions between your medication and the cleanse supplements. During part 1 of the Liver Cleanse (drinking the Liver Support Tea), you can continue to take other supplements and medications. During part 2 of the cleanse (the liver flush), you are instructed to stop all dietary supplements and medications that you can do without (make sure to confirm this with your doctor first) for the 2-day flush process. After the liver flush is complete, you can start taking your supplements and medications again.

You can expect to have diarrhea the morning of day two of the liver flush. This is a normal reaction caused by the olive oil drink consumed the night before. For this reason, it is best to schedule the liver flush when you have close access to a bathroom. You may have more frequent bowel movements in general during the liver flush due to the magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), which has a laxative effect.

Eliminating gallstones is not a guaranteed outcome of the Liver Cleanse. What is eliminated can vary from person to person. If you do eliminate gallstones, it will occur during the liver flush. It is not uncommon to see few stones or none at all after only one liver flush. The first few flushes may only push the gallstones toward the opening of the bile duct, in which case additional liver flushes may be required to fully eliminate the gallstones. The number of liver flushes needed to remove toxins and hardened deposits can vary from person to person.

If you miss a day or two while drinking the Liver Support Tea, you can simply pick up where you left off. It's recommended that you follow the 2-day liver flush schedule as close as possible. Altering the timing of the liver flush schedule may limit its effectiveness.

The liver flush is an integral part of the overall Liver Cleanse. Doing the liver flush may dislodge liver and gallbladder deposits that can interfere with regular function of these organs. If you do not complete the liver flush, you should not expect the same thoroughness compared to doing the complete Liver Cleanse with the liver flush.

The liver flush opens the bile duct and encourages the elimination of hardened deposits from the liver and gallbladder. These deposits can interfere with normal liver and gallbladder function.

If you can't complete the steps at the exact times as stated in the directions, adjust your schedule accordingly but try to keep the same time gap between each step. For instance, if the directions say to start your first step at 8 AM but you want to start at 7 AM, adjust the rest of your steps by one hour earlier. If you are an early riser, a night owl or you have a reverse sleep schedule, you can adjust the timing of the steps to suite your schedule.

The number of liver flushes will depend on your toxin load and how thoroughly the toxins are eliminated. Consider repeating the liver flush every two weeks. This allows your organs to rest between each flush. For first timers, a series of five flushes is recommended, but you may need to do more if your toxin load is more severe. Consider that your liver becomes congested over time, not after one poor lifestyle decision. So, you should not expect to relieve the congestion after only one liver flush.

No. Drinking the Liver Support Tea between each liver flush is optional.

Yes, you can use ozonated olive oil. According to Dr. Clark, gallstones are porous and can pick up bacteria, cysts, viruses, and parasites passing through the liver. Using ozonated olive oil helps to kill the parasitic stages that are released during the liver cleanse. Note that not all pre-made ozonated olive oil is equal in quality. You can also make your own ozonated olive oil if you have an ozonator and a separate aerator stone specifically used for olive oil.

To make the grapefruit and olive oil drink for the 2-day liver flush, you want the solution to be watery. According to Dr. Clark, only fresh pink grapefruit will accomplish this. Store bought pink grapefruit juice with any additives is not recommended either.

You can substitute lemon juice for grapefruit juice. Squeeze one lemon and add enough water to the juice to make ½ cup of liquid. Adding natural sweetener is optional. Some other liver cleansing protocols may call for apple juice or vegetable juice used in a different manner. Dr. Clark's protocol uses either pink grapefruit or lemon juice. Substituting any other juice may alter the effectiveness of Dr. Clark's cleansing protocol.

Consider doing the Liver Cleanse once or twice a year to reset liver function. However, you can do the cleanse more frequently if needed.

There is no maintenance program for the Liver Cleanse, but you can keep drinking the Liver Support Tea as needed.

We do not recommend giving children under the age of 18 the Liver Cleanse. Always consult with a healthcare professional before giving children nutritional supplements designed for adults.

If you are pregnant, we do not recommend that you do the Liver Cleanse without speaking with your doctor first.

Because compounds found naturally in the Liver Cleanse products can get into breast milk, we do not recommend that you do the cleanse while you are breastfeeding. Please consult with your doctor before attempting to do the cleanse.

Yes, you can still do the Liver Cleanse if your gallbladder has been removed. There should not be any issues drinking the Liver Support Tea (part 1 of the cleanse). Without a gallbladder, bile produced in your liver to aid fat digestion goes straight to your small intestine. Consuming the olive oil drink during the liver flush (part 2 of the cleanse) may result in looser stools accompanied by gas and bloating. Without a gallbladder you won't have any gallstones to remove, but you can still encourage the removal of toxins that have built up in the liver.

We do not recommend giving your pet the Liver Cleanse. Only Dr. Clark's Parasite Cleanse can be modified for dogs and cats. Please consult a veterinarian before giving your pets nutritional supplements or cleansing protocols designed for humans.

The Quick Liver Cleanse is a readymade blend of ingredients. It is convenient for travelling and for busy lifestyles. The Quick Liver Cleanse can be used as an alternative to part 1 of the standard Liver Cleanse, when you drink the Liver Support Tea for one to two weeks. However, the Quick Liver Cleanse capsules do not take the place of the 2-day liver flush (part 2 of the standard Liver Cleanse). For a thorough cleansing experience, perform the liver flush protocol after you have completed the 13-day Quick Liver Cleanse.

Epsom salts are a naturally occurring mineral compound made up of magnesium sulfate. They are named after the town of Epsom in Surrey, England, where the salts were first discovered in the 17th century. Unlike traditional table salt, Epsom salts do not contain sodium chloride. Instead, they are rich in magnesium, a vital mineral that plays an essential role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, energy production, and the regulation of blood pressure. Epsom salts are most commonly used in baths, where they are dissolved in warm water to provide numerous therapeutic benefits. They are known for their ability to relax the body, alleviate pain, and promote overall wellness.

Using Epsom salts in a bath can offer a wide range of health benefits that promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve mental well-being. One of the key benefits is muscle soreness relief, making it a popular choice for athletes or individuals experiencing physical exertion. Magnesium, a primary component of Epsom salts, can be absorbed through the skin, which helps relax muscles and alleviate inflammation and pain. Epsom salt baths can also reduce stress by promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system. The warm water combined with magnesium helps regulate cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone, contributing to improved sleep quality and an overall sense of well-being. Regular use may also enhance the body's ability to detoxify, as Epsom salts are believed to help flush out toxins.

To experience the benefits of Epsom salts, add about 2 cups of Epsom salts to your bathwater. Ensure the water is warm, as warm water helps dissolve the salts, allowing them to be absorbed more effectively into the skin. Soak in the bath for 12 to 15 minutes, allowing enough time for the magnesium to be absorbed into your muscles and body. You can adjust the amount of Epsom salts depending on the size of your tub or personal preferences, but it's important to ensure that the water is comfortably warm to allow for relaxation. To enhance the experience, consider adding essential oils like lavender for additional stress relief or eucalyptus for a refreshing boost.

Yes, Epsom salts can significantly aid in stress relief. The act of soaking in a warm Epsom salt bath provides a soothing and relaxing experience that can help alleviate both physical and mental stress. The magnesium in the salts has been shown to promote relaxation by regulating cortisol levels, a hormone that increases during periods of stress. Reducing cortisol levels helps the body enter a state of calm and relaxation, contributing to a reduction in anxiety and tension. In addition, the act of immersing yourself in warm water can help relax muscles, promote better circulation, and provide an overall sense of tranquility, further aiding in stress relief.

Epsom salts are widely used for a variety of health conditions due to their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. They may be beneficial for individuals dealing with arthritis, muscle pain, and fibromyalgia by helping to reduce inflammation and promote muscle relaxation. The magnesium in Epsom salts is also believed to help alleviate cramps and muscle spasms. People with joint pain or sore muscles from physical activity may find relief by soaking in an Epsom salt bath. However, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider before using Epsom salts, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications that may interact with magnesium.

Yes, Epsom salts can be an excellent addition to your skincare routine. They work well as a natural exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote smoother, softer skin. When used in foot soaks, they can soothe tired, achy feet, reduce swelling, and help eliminate dead skin on the soles. Simply add Epsom salts to warm water and soak your feet for 10-15 minutes. Additionally, Epsom salts can be used as a DIY facial scrub by mixing them with a bit of olive oil or coconut oil to create a gentle, natural exfoliant that cleanses and softens the skin.

While many women use Epsom salts during pregnancy to relax and ease muscle pain, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before using any new product, including Epsom salts. In general, using Epsom salts in a warm bath is considered safe for most pregnant women when used in moderation, as the magnesium in Epsom salts can provide soothing relief for sore muscles and reduce swelling. However, if you have any pregnancy-related complications such as high blood pressure or preeclampsia, or if you have concerns about the effects of magnesium on your body, it’s important to seek medical advice before use.

Epsom salts are widely available at many retailers, including pharmacies, supermarkets, health food stores, and online retailers. When purchasing Epsom salts, it’s best to choose high-quality, pure Epsom salts that do not contain added fragrances or chemicals. These salts can be used for a variety of purposes, including relaxation, detoxification, and skin care. Many stores offer Epsom salts in different scents or added with essential oils for a more luxurious bath experience. Be sure to check the label for purity and ensure the product is free from any unnecessary additives.

Some of the best high-fiber foods for digestive health include avocados, pears, green banana flour, leafy greens, and apples. These foods provide a combination of soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, resistant starch, and prebiotics that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promote regular bowel movements, and support a healthy digestive tract.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that most adults consume between 25 and 38 grams of fiber per day, depending on age and sex. If your current fiber intake is low, increase it gradually and drink plenty of water to help minimize gas, bloating, or digestive discomfort while your gut adapts

Yes. While high-fiber fruits are healthy for most people, some fruits—such as pears and apples—contain naturally occurring FODMAP carbohydrates like fructose and sorbitol that may trigger bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or fructose malabsorption. Choosing appropriate portion sizes and working with a healthcare professional can help determine which high-fiber foods are best tolerated.

Some supplements can interact with each other or increase the risk of side effects when combined. Examples include high-dose calcium and iron (which compete for absorption), multiple supplements with blood-thinning effects such as fish oil, garlic, and ginkgo, and combining several sedative herbs like valerian, kava, and chamomile. 

There are Minerals that Block Each Other also. Taking high-dose minerals simultaneously triggers competition in your gut, leading to poor absorption of both. For example, the main antagonists are:

• Calcium and Iron: Calcium significantly limits the absorption of iron.

• Calcium and Zinc: These trace minerals compete for the same absorption pathways.

• Iron and Zinc: Both block each other's uptake when taken at supplemental doses.

• Zinc and Copper: High-dose zinc supplementation impairs copper absorption, potentially leading to a copper deficiency. 

For vitamins an dherbs, there are also common antagonists that many people take without realizing it. Such as: 

1. Vitamins E and K: High doses of Vitamin E can counteract Vitamin K’s role in blood clotting, which may increase the risk of bleeding.  

2. Blood-Thinning Supplements (Fish Oil, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Turmeric): Taking these together increases the overall "thinning" of your blood, significantly raising your risk for uncontrolled bruising or bleeding. This is especially dangerous if you are already on prescription anticoagulants.   antidepressant supplements (like 5-HTP or SAMe) and can dangerously alter how your liver processes almost any prescription medication.  

3. Activated Charcoal and Any Nutrient: Charcoal binds to vitamins and minerals in your gut, stripping them from your digestive tract before your body can use them

Always review your supplement regimen with a healthcare professional if you take multiple products.

Turmeric, fish oil, and garlic are commonly used for heart and joint health, but all three may have mild blood-thinning properties. While many people tolerate them well, combining high doses may increase the risk of bleeding, especially before surgery or if you take prescription anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications. Consult your healthcare provider before using this combination.

Calcium can reduce the absorption of iron when both are taken together. If you need both supplements, many healthcare professionals recommend taking them at different times of the day—typically separating doses by at least two hours—to maximize absorption. Vitamin C can greatly enhance the absorption of iron, and so must be used with caution to prevent excess iron.

Yes. Certain herbal supplements should be used cautiously when combined because they may have overlapping biological effects or alter how the body responds to them. For example, ashwagandha and rhodiola may both influence stress hormones and thyroid function, making the combination unsuitable for some individuals with thyroid disorders. St. John's wort should not be combined with 5-HTP because both affect serotonin signaling, potentially increasing the risk of excessive serotonin activity. Berberine and cinnamon extract can both help lower blood sugar, so taking them together may increase the likelihood of hypoglycemia, particularly in people using diabetes medications. Likewise, combining licorice root with ginseng may raise blood pressure in susceptible individuals due to their effects on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Finally, using echinacea alongside immune-stimulating herbs such as astragalus may overstimulate the immune system in people with autoimmune conditions. Before combining herbal supplements, it's important to consider their overlapping mechanisms of action and discuss your regimen with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have an underlying medical condition or take prescription medications.

The safest approach is to review every supplement, vitamin, and medication you take with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Even natural products can interact with each other or with prescription medications. Choose products that have been third-party tested, avoid unnecessary duplication of ingredients, and follow the recommended dosages on product labels unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Dr. Hulda Clark preferred magnesium citrate due to its excellent bioavailability—it’s readily absorbed and addresses broad magnesium needs. It also supports digestion as a gentle laxative, contributes to ATP (energy) production, and promotes kidney function. For cleansing protocols, she leaned toward magnesium oxide. It’s reliable for digestive support, helps ease heartburn and indigestion, functions as a laxative while helping to sterilize and deodorize the GI tract, and is budget-friendly. Among her go-to options for cleansing, magnesium oxide stood out. For those who are looking specifically for a magnesium form that is even more bioavailable and can cross the blood brain barrier, we have developed a new formula of three type of magnesium to be released in the coming weeks.

General recommendations suggest about 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day for optimal hydration. However, individual hydration needs can vary widely depending on factors such as age, activity level, climate, health conditions, and whether you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Listening to your body’s thirst cues, monitoring the color of your urine (pale yellow is ideal), and adjusting your intake accordingly can help ensure you stay properly hydrated. Staying well-hydrated supports overall health, improves energy levels, and aids in digestion and detoxification.

Healthy fats primarily include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health and overall well-being. These are naturally found in foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. In contrast, trans fats—artificial fats found in many processed and fried foods—and excessive saturated fats, often present in fast food, baked goods, and snack foods, should be limited. Consuming the right types of fats supports brain health, reduces inflammation, and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

High intake of added sugars is linked to a range of health issues, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental problems. Excessive sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance and increased fat storage, especially around the abdomen. To promote better health, it’s advisable to reduce added sugars found in sodas, candies, and processed snacks, and instead enjoy natural sources of sweetness like fresh fruits. Making mindful choices about sugar intake can support weight management, energy stability, and overall wellness.

While most individuals can meet their nutritional needs through a balanced diet, many are actually falling short on essential nutrients—studies show that up to 80% of the population doesn't meet the recommended daily intake for key minerals like magnesium, which is vital for energy production, muscle function, and nerve health. In certain cases—such as nutrient deficiencies, pregnancy, or specific health conditions—supplements can be a helpful way to fill these gaps, but they should always be taken under medical guidance. Prioritizing nutrient-rich foods is the best approach, but supplements can play a supporting role when needed to ensure optimal health.

Did you know that most probiotics are genetically modified? But there’s one brand with a 30 year history of producing only non-GMO products, and this one hits your gut with 15 different strains. It also includes a prebiotic called Lion's Mane mushroom. Most supplements you've tried were barely scratching the surface, or worse, doing more harm than good, especially if they contain harmful gut-disrupting additives like carrageenan or magnesium stearate. This Dr. Clark Store probiotic formula is different. With 15 strains from the most effective Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium families, every part of your digestive system gets targeted support. Lactobacillus plantarum tackles bloating and protects your intestinal lining. Bifidobacterium strains help crowd out harmful bacteria competing for space in your gut and help produce B-vitamins. And Lion's Mane? Besides its other benefits, it acts as a superior prebiotic, feeding those good bacteria so colonies actually grow strong. Each capsule delivers 15 billion CFU — that's a serious, measurable dose. One capsule. Fifteen non-genetically modified strains. One powerful prebiotic. This is what a complete probiotic actually looks like. Order Daily Probiotics 15 Billion CFU today and give your gut the full team it deserves.

The supplement industry has inherited an underbelly from the pharmaceutical industry: the habit of not disclosing every processing aid used in manufacturing, a gap current FDA regulations still allow. 
Under FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 101.100, "incidental additives" — those present at insignificant levels with no technical or functional effect — are exempt from label disclosure. This includes processing aids and substances that migrate from equipment or packaging, as long as they don't affect taste, nutrition, flavor, or color.
Magnesium stearate doesn't qualify for the incidental additive exemption, since it's added specifically as a flow agent with a real functional effect. It should be disclosed. Yet based on Oskar Thorvaldsson's 26 years in contract manufacturing, many manufacturers add 1–3% magnesium stearate to nearly every product without disclosing it — even when brand owners ask directly.
This is exactly why PureNSM backs a 100% money-back guarantee, plus $10,000, if we ever use magnesium stearate in your product without permission. View the guarantee. If you suspect your current manufacturer is using undisclosed magnesium stearate, we can test your existing product through our ISO-certified lab partners, using HPLC and GC-MS — methods sensitive enough to detect concentrations as low as 3%, or lower. 
100% Money Back Plus $10,000: If you find we have used magnesium stearate in your product without your permission 

Capsule shells are a clear example of undisclosed ingredients — many standard HPMC vegetarian capsules use carrageenan as a gelling agent without disclosing it on the label. Make no mistake about it, carrageenan should be disclosed on the labels per FDA rules but neither the pharmaceutical or supplement industry disclose it with few exceptions. 
Fortunately as of 2026 about half of HPMC formulations (trend started in 2022) are made with thermoregulation and avoid carrageenan entirely.¹ Delayed-release capsules and most enteric coatings carry the same gap, often containing processing aids that never appear on a Supplement Facts panel. Carrageenan itself remains genuinely contested: research funded by carrageenan manufacturers concludes it's harmless, while independent researchers have linked it to inflammation and cancer risk² — and even one industry-funded review stopped short of calling the ingredient definitively safe.³
This regulatory gray area means consumers are left to guess what's actually inside a "natural" or "clean label" product, and to trust a certification system that doesn't require full ingredient disclosure to begin with. Whatever the science ultimately settles on, PureNSM believes the resolution to that debate belongs to the consumer, not the manufacturer — which is why every ingredient used in our capsules and coatings, disclosed or not by regulation, is available to any brand owner who asks. 
This is precisely why gelatin remains PureNSM's default recommendation for doctors formulating for immune-compromised or chemically sensitive patients. Gelatin capsules require no carrageenan, no gellan gum, and none of the additional processing steps involved in forming HPMC or pullulan shells — fewer materials between the active ingredient and the patient, not more. For a physician managing a patient with a compromised immune system, that simplicity isn't a marketing preference; it's a clinical one.

She did often object to minute amount of pollutants.
