Frequently Asked Questions: Ultra-Detox™
What is Ultra-Detox™?
Ultra-Detox™ is a herbal medicinal formula, produced using state of the art
bio-technology, which ensures the utmost standards in quality and safety. It is a clinically
proven and effective herbal formula with numerous health benefits.
What are the functions of Ultra-Detox™?
Ultra-Detox™ is a herbal tea in tablet form. This unique formula is based on the
principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that specifically enhance liver
cleansing ability, cleansing the bowels, and gallbladder, as well as to flush out built up
bile acid. With the support of Ultra-Detox™, your liver will produce a higher quality of
bile acid, which will result in a decreased chance of gallbladder stones. Ultra-Detox™
will also enhance your body’s detoxification process, thereby allowing your liver to
properly metabolize the nutrients you ingest.
Many diseases stem from and are influenced by existing liver problems, such as obesity,
depression, liver disease, high cholesterol, fatigue, chronic constipation or digestive
problems and arthritis. Because of the wide range of effects, Ultra-Detox™ may be used

How can Ultra-Detox™ be so beneficial for so many ailments?
Ultra-Detox™ has so many applications because it has been formulated to have four
major functions:
1) To help improve liver function and detoxification (phase 1 and 2);
2) To help the liver to produce a greater quantity and a higher quality of bile;
3) To help to flush bile-sludge;
4) To help cleanse the bowels.
Liver: As we know, the liver cleanses 90% of impurities in our blood, including toxic
chemicals, bacteria, viruses, alcohol, caffeine, toxic byproducts of metabolism,
pharmaceutical medications and excessive hormones. A healthy liver also ensures proper
bile acid production, which has many benefits for our health, including: better digestion
and bowel movement, as well as removing gall bladder stones and bile-sludge. The liver
is responsible for the conversion of all of the carbohydrates, protein and fat that we ingest,
which also determines your overall nutritional balance and weight. It is also responsible
for 80 % of the cholesterol production in our body. A healthier liver is not only
responsible for a strong immunity but is indeed the key for many health problems.
Bile and Bile Acid: The human body is supposed to produce 1 ½ liters of bile per day,
which deodorizes smelly stool and gas, breaks down fatty foods, disinfects germs, and
helps to break down body fat and cellulite. Bile acid is also responsible for the bowels’
ability to eliminate waste. The irregular secretion of bile acid can be the cause of irritable
bowel movements (diarrhea, constipation and/or alternating diarrhea and constipation). A
lack of bile acid is the number one cause of excessive stomach acid (indigestion occurs
when bile acid is missing, which will then force the stomach to produce more acid in
order to compensate for the lack of bile). Also, without bile acid, the body would not be
capable of breaking down the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Bowel cleanse: 80% of our immune defense is located around our intestinal tract, which
is where our body receives the first assault from both germs and/or toxins. Having proper
bile acid flow helps to disinfect germs, ensure removal of toxins in the intestinal tract,
and it frees the immune system to protect other areas that may be in need. For example,
chronic gingivitis can be improved using Ultra-Detox™, since a cleaner gastrointestinal
tract and a healthier liver can indirectly strengthen a person’s immunity, therefore
allowing the body to fight other infections (including low-grade infections), even cancers,
more effectively.
Another key element to note in terms of bowel cleansing is that 25% of the detoxification
process in our body actually occurs in both the small and large intestines; the remaining
75% of the toxins will be absorbed into our body (90% of it will be detoxified in liver).
Since Ultra-Detox™ is a liver cleansing formula, should I expect any
form of a healing crisis?
This always depends on the individual’s health condition. A simple rule to follow: the
more ill you are, the more severe the healing crisis will usually be. Having said that,
many of the symptoms that may be experienced during a healing crisis can be minimized
by following proper nutritional support in conjunction with drinking 2-3 liters of purified
water daily. This is with proper rest as well.
What is a healing crisis?
More often than not, the road to improved health or reduced pain begins with a healing
crisis (also known as the Herxheimer reaction). The saying “no pain….no gain” is often
true when it comes to many different forms of healing, especially during any type of
detoxification process. The reason this crisis happens is because your body is trying to
eliminate toxins at a rate that is greater than your body’s own disposal system. The more
toxic a person’s body is, the more severe the healing crisis will be. When people enter
this stage, many believe that their treatment is not working and that it is in fact making
them worse. However, these reactions are actually signs that the treatment is working
and that the body is eliminating the toxic build up, and therefore is setting the stage for
regeneration. Healing crisis normally lasts from 3 to 10 days, but it may repeat in many
cycles depending how many layers of toxin you have or it may be prolonged due to
improper diet while detoxification.
What are the symptoms I may expect to see or feel during a healing
crisis?
Symptoms of a healing crisis will usually begin with the very same problems that the
practitioner is trying to heal, also influenced by past conditions or personal issues. There
are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during this process, with some of the
most common symptoms listed below.
Note: Some of symptoms may not be from the actual healing crisis. They may be from
the withdrawal symptoms due to dietary changes.

What is the recommended dosage?
Recommended daily dosage: 4 to 8 tablets, 2 to 3 times a day, preferably taken
15-25 minutes before meals. However, if necessary, you are able to take it 30 minutes
after meals.
You can start with half of the recommended dosage for the first 5 to 10 days if you are
concerned that the healing crisis may cause too much of an inconvenience.
What if I am usually very sensitive to medications, can I still take Ultra-Detox™?
If you are usually very sensitive to medications, it is recommended that you start at a
lower dosage and work your way up to a suitable dosage for your level of toxicity.
If you begin taking Ultra-Detox™ and encounter severe diarrhea, reduce your
recommended dosage in half and gradually increase your dose as your body allows.
People who suffer from a severe blood and Qi deficiency with coldness in the stomach
should not take this product as it is not suitable for their constitution.
What should I avoid eating/ingesting while I am on Ultra-Detox™?
• Caffeine
• Spices
• Red meat
• Sugar
• Alcohol
• Processed food
• Food you are sensitive to
What should I do if I encounter the symptoms of a healing crisis?
First, you should drink a suitable amount of purified water during the detoxification process, since water will help to cleanse your body and minimize the symptoms. Secondly you need to ensure proper rest and sleep. Third, you will need to avoid the food
mentioned in the previous question and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Why do I get light spotting in between menstruation while on Ultra-Detox™?
Fat tissue is as ideal storage place for excessive hormones, particular estrogen.
Ultra-Detox™ can cause weight loss (specifically fat loss), therefore hormones may be
released from the fat tissue and end up elevating the hormone levels in your bloodstream.
Elevated hormones in your blood stream can possibly cause potting. If you do
experience spotting, it should be light, short in duration and it may come and go; if the
spotting turns into a lasting heavy flow, you should stop taking Ultra-Detox™ and
consult your health practitioner.
What can I expect after the healing-crisis process?
• Weight loss
• A sense of well-being
• Stable moods
• Increased energy
• Increased bowel movements
• Improvement of bowel condition
• Better digestion process (especially with fat)
• Liver will be able to metabolize nutrition better
• Clearer mind
• Decreased cravings
• Smaller appetite (particularly when Ultra-Detox™ is taken before meals)
How long should I be taking Ultra-Detox™?
• For the sole purpose of a thorough detoxification: 3 weeks to 3 months
(depends on your health)
• For weight loss: 6 to 12 months
• For other ailments or details: consult your health practitioner
Are there any side effects of taking Ultra-Detox™?
There are no side effects from Ultra-Detox™. However, the uncomfortable symptoms
which people will most likely suffer from during the program are due to the healing crisis
(which may last anywhere from 1 day to 2 weeks, depending on the level of toxicity).
What should I expect if I am using Ultra-Detox™ for weight loss?
The healthiest way to lose weight is by going through liver detoxification.
Weight loss may not happen at first, since this depends on how toxic you are. The body
has to go through the detoxification process before weight loss will occur.
Clinically, it has been observed that on average it takes approximately 2 to 6 weeks to
notice weight loss, however, there are cases in which patients have lost weight within the
first week. Within the first few weeks, people may even notice their weight rise slightly
due to the detoxification process (which involves water retention). This weight will
decline once the body becomes less toxic.
As soon as you notice the first signs of weight loss, you will start to lose fat mass
effectively (clinical observation: 0.8%-2.5% fat loss per month). Clinical observations
also show that Ultra-Detox™ is helpful in promoting loss of cellulite. When
Ultra-Detox™ is taken before meals, it has been clinically observed to suppress the
appetite.
