BP-X

BP-X is an excellent blood purifying formula which improves the body’s detoxifying and eliminating processes. BP-X is comprised of herbs which also stimulate the production of digestive fluids and enzymes, promote urine flow to eliminate toxins via the kidneys, strengthen the immune system, and provide antiseptic and laxative benefits. Much of BP-X’s action is focused on the liver, lymphatic, and immune systems, as well as the skin.

BP-X has been found to provide significant results when used for acne, arthritis, constipation, diarrhea, fevers, hepatitis, gallbladder complaints, inflammatory skin conditions, jaundice, lymphatic infection, parasites, worms, and in some cases, tumors.

Buckthorn increases bile flow, peristalsis, and mucus secretion in the intestines to cleanse toxins from the body. These actions are due to the presence of anthraquinone glycosides—the same active constituents found in Cascara Sagrada, but with a milder effect. Various studies have found buckthorn to possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity against numerous pathogens, including Candida albicans, herpes simplex virus I and II, influenza virus, and Staphylococcus. The free-anthraquinone, aloe-emodin, has been shown to have anti-leukemia activity. Buckthorn also acts as a mild diuretic, and is regarded medicinally for treating constipation, fevers, gallstones, hemorrhoids, inflammatory skin conditions, intestinal parasites, and rheumatism.

Burdock is especially useful for treating conditions related to chronic toxicity, as it stimulates elimination of wastes via the colon, kidneys, and skin. Burdock is particularly well-known as a blood purifier, and has also been used to soothe inflammation in both internal and external tissues. Clinical studies have shown burdock improves liver and gallbladder function. Research indicates burdock is helpful for treating inflammatory conditions resulting from chronic toxicity, including arthritis, gout, heavy metal poisoning, infection, rheumatism, and sore throat, as well as chronic skin conditions such as abscesses, acne, boils, burns, carbuncles, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, skin infections, and benign skin tumors.

Cascara Sagrada is widely known for its laxative effects. Its non-habit-forming and mild nature have made cascara a popular treatment worldwide for chronic constipation, even for small children and the elderly. Cascara is also used to treat hemorrhoids and piles. Cascara has been shown to stimulate bile production and is beneficial for digestive and liver problems, particularly enlarged liver. Cascara has also been found an effective for treating colitis, diverticulosis, dyspepsia, gallstones, intestinal parasites, jaundice, skin diseases, sluggish gallbladder function, and worms.

Dandelion has been shown to help the liver and gallbladder filter out toxins and purify the blood, as well as stimulate the kidneys to eliminate toxins through the urine. Dandelion contains enzyme-like compounds which assist cell metabolism and increase bile secretion in the liver. As a result, dandelion inhibits bile duct inflammation, cirrhosis, dyspepsia with constipation, gallstones, hepatitis and jaundice. Other research shows dandelion exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and restricts the development of an enlarged or swollen liver. In essence, all glands associated with digestive function respond quickly and effectively to dandelion. Dandelion provides viscous fiber which absorbs toxins from the bowel, balances intestinal flora, lowers serum cholesterol, reduces bowel transit time, and soothes digestive tract tissues. Dandelion is also a source of bitter flavonoids which purify the blood, increase urine flow, relieve inflammation and muscle spasms, and provide a mild laxative action. The herb is especially beneficial for spleen ailments and for eliminating uric acid buildup. Dandelion has also been used to treat acne, age spots, anemia, eczema, frequent urination, heartburn, psoriasis, rheumatism, urinary disorders, water retention, chronic joint complaints, including gout and osteoarthritis, and edema resulting from high blood pressure and heart weakness.

Oregon Grape , a close relative of barberry, enhances glandular function, especially of the liver and thyroid; improves digestion and absorption of nutrients; increases appetite; purifies the blood and relieves lymphatic stagnation. Oregon grape also enhances the production of bile which stimulates peristalsis and assists the liver in eliminating stored toxins. Oregon Grape is a good source of berberine, a substance with remarkable infection-fighting properties.

Pau d\’Arco purifies the blood, shrinks inflamed tissues, fights fungal infections, and contains substances which promote anti-tumor action in specific blood and skin cancers. Scientific research shows pau d\’arco stimulates the production of red blood cells in bone marrow. Research also confirms pau d\’arco is strongly anti-inflammatory, relieving the pain of arthritis, cystitis, inflammation of the cervix, and prostatitis. Pau d\’arco even possesses antimicrobial, anti-tumor, and antiviral activity, being particularly effective against viral infections of the nose, mouth and throat. Pau d\’arco is widely used throughout the world as an antioxidant and general preventative treatment for cancer.

Peach bark hrinks inflamed tissues, relaxes muscle spasms, and acts as an antiseptic, diuretic, and laxative. Peach bark, although not commonly used today, has often been used recommended for edema, gastritis, inflammatory skin conditions, jaundice, nephritis, and urinary tract infections.

Prickly ash alleviates pain and inflammation, stimulates blood flow, induces perspiration to eliminate toxins and reduce fever, and acts as a digestive tonic, diuretic, and mild laxative and sedative. Studies show prickly ash stimulates circulation to painful joints, thus providing necessary nutrients and eliminating built-up toxins. Prickly ash has also been shown to promote circulation in the treatment of intermittent claudication and Raynaud’s disease. Prickly ash has traditionally been used for arthritis, coldness in the extremities, diarrhea, flatulence, lumbago, and rheumatism.

Red clover helps the body manufacture bile and other digestive fluids and enzymes, and is a strong blood purifier, enhancing the elimination of toxins from the bloodstream. Red clover also contains phenolic acids, including salicylic acid, which reduce pain and inflammation. Thus red clover has proven quite effective for treating arthritis, constipation, gout, jaundice, liver congestion, and inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Furthermore, scientists conducting antibiotic tests on red clover have confirmed the herb’s activity against several bacteria, the most notable of which is the bacteria known to cause tuberculosis.

Sarsaparilla is primarily a blood purifier, focusing most of its action in the colon. Sarsaparilla regulates colonic bacteria, absorbing the toxins produced by yeasts and other colonic bacteria and eliminating them from the bowel. Sarsaparilla also relieves the inflammation caused by the body’s reaction to such toxins. This may explain sarsaparilla’s history as a cure for arthritis, inflammatory bowel problems, jaundice, prostatitis, rheumatism, and skin inflammations, such as boils, eczema, psoriasis, and skin ulcers. Researchers have also found the herb to demonstrate anti-tubercle bacillus activity in culture studies.

Yarrow shrinks inflamed tissues, stops bleeding, lowers blood pressure, induces perspiration to help lower fever, and relaxes muscle spasms. Anti-inflammatory properties supplied by the chemical, chamazulene, have been documented in animal studies, supporting the use of yarrow for hemorrhoids, ulcers, and other inflammatory conditions. As a blood cleanser, yarrow promotes the removal of body toxins via perspiration, and is often recommended for chicken pox and smallpox. Yarrow also enhances the elimination of uric acid buildup in the joints which can contribute to arthritis, gout and rheumatism.

Yellow dock has become favored as a tonic for the liver and gallbladder, due to its astringent purification of the blood supply to the glands. Compared to other herbs, yellow dock has one of the most prominent reputations for clearing skin problems, relieving glandular inflammation and swelling, and curing a variety of bladder ailments and liver diseases, including jaundice. Many Native American medicine men were quite competent in using yellow dock for treating jaundice. Yellow dock also works as a laxative, encouraging the production of bile and digestive fluids and easing inflammatory bowel conditions.
