Ingredient Highlights
Even though it’s commonly referred to as ginger root – ginger is actually a rhizome, not a root. A rhizome is an underground stem.
Lemon is a potent antioxidant and helps support a healthy immune system and respiratory function.

Hi Margrit! Yes, you certainly can substitute limes for lemons in this recipe.

As far as the combined two bottles of detoxes for Colon and Liver….how many times do you use this product? I have not found a holistic doctor nor would my spouse ok it. I doctored conv. docs for 30 years and did nothing for me. I found holistic on my own to try numerous protocols and appreciate and benefited from the Medical Mediums protocols! But his detox protocols are overwhelming! More than I can handle. His detox protocols are suggested to be repeated until you feel resolve. How many times does one use your detox products? If I have to see a doctor about this… and you cannot answer… I will not bother to try. Thank you.

Hello Connie, Thank you for your interest in our products. Here are the general recommendations for taking the Cleanse & Detoxx. However, we always suggest speaking with your trusted healthcare provider before starting and supplement or cleanse.
Take the Colon & Lymphatic Cleanse capsules 2 times daily (typically morning and night) for 15 days followed by Detoxx: Liver & Kidney Support, 2 capsules 2 times daily for 15 days.
While this 4-week-total cleanse can be very effective, if you’d like a maximum body detox, consider using Cleanse & Detoxx for 3 months in a row following the instructions above. After this 3-month protocol, you can then use Cleanse & Detoxx quarterly thereafter.
An increase of water is suggested while taking Cleanse & Detoxx.
Recommended is 1oz per 2 pounds of body weight each day.
I hope you find this information helpful. Have an awesome day! :)

Hi connie. It makes about 6 - 8 oz servings. So, yes! You could have it three times a day for two days, twice a day for 3 days, or once a day for 6 days. Happy detoxing!
