DANDELION ROOT: The dandelion is a perennial plant found almost everywhere though not occurring in the Southern Hemisphere. Having a leaf the shape of a lion's tooth, the name is taken from the French "dent-de-lion" meaning "tooth-of-the-lion". It increases bile production and stimulates its flow to the gallbladder, where it also causes contractions and the release of bile from there. The polysaccharide insulin found in this root is respected for its white blood cell and immune-boosting properties. This root is also higher in beta carotene (a powerful antioxidant and precursor to Vitamin A) than what is found in carrots. The leaf of the plant is a powerful diuretic and a delicious salad green eaten in the spring. Uses: Liver, Kidneys, Gall Bladder, Stomach, Pancreas, Intestines, and Blood. Abscesses, Age Spots, Anemia, Boils, Blood Pressure (high), Blood Purifier, Breast Tumors, Cancer, Cholesterol, Constipation, Cirrhosis, Cramps, Dermatitis, Diabetes, Eczema, Endurance, Fatigue, Fever, Fluid Retention, Gallbladder, Gout, Jaundice, Hypoglycemia, all Liver Problems, Stimulates Metabolism, Psoriasis, Rheumatism, Spleen, Stomach, Uric Acid, Warts. A very nutritive herb with medicinal benefits; stimulates the liver and kidneys while absorbing toxins and soothes the digestive tract while promoting healing.

Yeah, it's in Taraxatone, a natural/legal diuretic by Cytodyne, used it for my last show for the last week, upping the doses all week, drinking only distilled water, I think it worked pretty good, but I've still heard lasix is king, but it's juice so... ------------------  |
