We greatly appreciate the works of James A. Duke, Ph.D., which is one of our primary sources of information. Dr. Duke is an ethnobotanist who spent many years working for the USDA. He roamed all over the world, studying medicinal plants and how they were used by the different cultures. He has seen first-hand how people use these herbs, and has used many of these medicinal remedies himself. As a result of his travels, his research, and his experience, he has come to believe that in most cases the whole herb approach is better than the pharmaceutical approach. Drug companies, in order to be able to patent their products, prefer isolating specific chemicals and compounds within the plants, then use only the parts they consider important to make their medicine. The holistic approach recognizes that more often than not, there are other properties within the plants that work together with the compounds that are known to be helpful, which when used together may be more effective and give better balanced results than when the compounds
are isolated. This bears out with our belief that God created the plants just the way they needed to be to serve the purpose they were intended for.

Even in the business of holistic herbal medicine, there are many that fill their vats only 10% to 30% of the way with herbal raw material. We fill
our vats all the way to the top, just barely covering the herbs with the liquids, to get a ratio of 1:1.

We have been making herbal formulas for 15 years. I use these same formulas for myself and for my family, so we take quality very seriously.

Super Tonic

Our Super Tonic is made with the same ingredients as the famous Dr. Schulze's formula. With organic apple cider vinegar as its base, it is comprised of ginger root, garlic, horseradish, onion, and hot pepper. Separation of the product is normal; shake well before each use. Because of the organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar, it is even possible that a "mother" may try to form inside the bottle. This is completely harmless and can be simply ignored. If it becomes a problem (which is highly unlikely) it can be removed by pouring it through a coffee filter or cloth.

What it does:
This Super Tonic is what we keep on hand at all times to stay on top of colds and flu. It deals a death-blow to harmful micro-organisms as soon as it makes contact. We depend on it heavily during the winter months, but sniffles, sinus colds, sore throats, whooping cough, and even bronchitis seem to be more and more common even during the summer. Some have also reported relief from cold sores after using this formula. Safe for children, but adult supervision recommended.

How to use it:
We suggest stirring a teaspoon of the Super Tonic into 3-4 ounces of your favorite juice and drinking it quickly. This is most effective if taken at the first sign of something "coming on", such as sneezing, sinus pressure, chest congestion, chills, fever, sore throat, or that aching-all-over tired feeling that comes sometimes just before you get sick. Repeat the dosage every 2-4 hours until symptoms subside. If the condition worsens or if sickness has set in before you get to the Super Tonic, you may triple the first dose and take a Tablespoon of it in 4-6 oz. of juice. Or if you are brave, you can use the provided dropper and squirt a dropperful directly into your throat. This is especially beneficial when you have throat problems. Can also be used as a gargle.

Notice:
The consumer assumes all responsibility for any potential side effects or discomfort that may result from the use of this product.

More Specs:
This product qualifies as raw, organic, unpasteurized, non-GMO, and naturally gluten-free. Made in the USA. Sealed for your protection. Contains NO alcohol.

Your Responsibility:
If you have any condition that needs medical attention, you should see a doctor. We cannot diagnose your condition, neither can we recommend or prescribe a solution to you, but wherever there is freedom people have always had the right to self-treatment. May this serve to better inform you of the natural solutions that are available, based on the latest studies and scientific research available.

Bear in mind that with self-treatment comes self-responsibility for whatever the outcome might be. Doctors never know, without experimenting, exactly which drug is going to help their patient the most. Similarly, herbs do not affect everybody the same way. People have even died from allergic reactions to peanuts and strawberries! It is very important to follow directions and to heed any warnings associated with natural remedies.

  1. When we had strep throat we squirted it straight in our throats (and drank some water right after). Even the youngest, 1 year old, liked it because it lessened the pain!
