DR. SCHULZE'S FOUNDATIONAL FORMULAE
INTESTINAL
FORMULA # 1
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT INTESTINAL FORMULA #1:

This formula is so popular, we literally have thousands of letters thanking us for it. People who have suffered their whole life with constipation, who have tried everything, every bowel cleanser and laxative on the market, and nothing worked for them until they tried Intestinal Formula #1. People who have had almost every illness known, recover just by cleansing their bowel. People who have had almost every type of bowel disease, recover all the way to Hollywood models and actresses who just thank me for their new flat stomachs and clearer skin.
I could tell you about the 67 year old man in San Diego who was contemplating suicide because the doctors cut nerves to his bowel during a gall bladder surgery and he had to live with the reality of taking an enema everyday. Well not anymore. Or the 48 year old lady from Seattle who was out of work for 3 years with debilitating back pain. She saw every medical doctor, chiropractor and bodyworker in thephone book but with no help, all she could do is lie in bed and cry and tremble with pain. Not anymore! Or the family from New York whose 14 year old son was scheduled for a colostomy surgery because of his extreme constipation, who is now having normal bowel movements and didn't have the surgery. Or the lady from Los Angeles who suffered from blinding migraines all of her life, and for 15 years went to every medical doctor, pain control clinic and every alternative doctor from acupuncture and biofeedback to chiropractic and hypnotherapy. Nothing worked - well nothing except Intestinal Formula #1, and it only took 3 days! The list of miracles this formula can create goes on and that is why I always said in my clinic, colon cleansing Is the first step in any health program.

METABOLIC ACTION AND BOTANICAL CHEMISTRY:
This stimulating tonic is cleansing, healing and strengthening to the entire gastro-intestinal system. It stimulates your peristaltic action (the muscular movement of the colon) and over time strengthens the muscles of the large intestine. It halts putrefaction and disinfects, soothes and heals the mucous membrane lining of your entire digestive tract. This herbal tonic improves digestion, relieves gas and cramps, increases the flow of bile which in turn cleans the gall bladder, bile ducts and liver, destroys Candida albicans overgrowth and promotes a healthy intestinal flora. It also destroys and expels intestinal parasites, increases gastro-intestinal circulation and is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
         Aloe. Senna and Cascara Sagrada all contain colon stimulating phytochemicals called anthraquinones. The particular one common to all 3 of these herbs is called emodin, often referred to as aloe-emodin and sometimes as 1,8-dihydroxy-anthracene or numerous other similar names. Herbs that contain these chemicals, when ingested, increase peristaltic waves; the muscular contractions or propulsive contractions of the colon muscle. This results in fecal matter being accelerated through the colon. This action over time, with proper diet and positive lifestyle can strengthen the colon muscle to where these herbs are no longer needed to achieve normal bowel movements.
         Barberry contains bitter alkaloids, one of which is berberine. This phytochemical stimulates the liver, the gall bladder and the production of bile, which makes it a laxative to the hepatic system. Garlic is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Often when constipation has occurred, infection is present. Garlic's numerous sulfur compounds destroy harmful pathogens on contact and also help increase intestinal microflora. Finally Capsicum and Ginger are both powerful stimulants to the colon. Cayenne will also correct intestinal bleeding and Ginger increases downward peristalsis, stimulating every aspect of your digestion and elimination.

DOSAGE:
DOSAGE FOR PATIENT TYPE A: The sluggish bowel type. This is about 98% of Americans, the ones who need help getting their bowel working more frequently. Start with only 1 capsule of this formula during or just after dinner. This formula works best when taken with food. The next morning you should notice an increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency should also be softer. If you do not notice any difference in your bowel behavior by the next day, or if the difference was not dramatic, then that evening increase your dosage to 2 capsules. You can continue to increase your dosage every evening by one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel works. There is no limit. Most people need only 2-3 capsules, but a few have needed over 30 capsules. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel, so let's be patient for a few days and increase by only 1 capsule each day. This formula can be taken for a week, a month ci the rest of your life. Continue to use this formula until you are having one bowel movement each day for every meal you eat. Between 2 and 4 bowel movements a day is normal. See pages 22 and 23 for what is a normal bowel movement.

DOSAGE FOR PATIENT TYPE B: The active, overactive or irritated bowel type. This only applied to about 2% of my patients. These are the exceptions to the rule, those with bowels that move too often, (more than 3 times a day.) This includes those with Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, etc... If your bowels are irritated, inflamed, hot or working too frequently, skip this formula and go directly to Intestinal Formula #2.
