We used a peppermint& papaya pill, mixed as one pill, it works, and helps all kinds of things.

The peppermint soothes the stomach and the papaya is a natural enzyme and eats all the collected poisons out.

My source went out of business and now I do not know where to get the same thing and not get other items mixed in the pills.

There's a pill called Wobenzym that is composed of proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapple and other stuff. There is a knock-off called W-Zymes too. Both products run about $30 a bottle for 180 tablets. I've been meaning to post this source for everyone:

The enzymes are posted here:

They charge $8 for this product. Their company makes all kinds of supplements and charges only 5% above cost. The owner is a retired doctor who is more concerned about people being properly nourished than making a pile of money.

Papaya Mint Chewable Tablets 70 tabs
SKU: 485-6

Papaya Mint Chewable Tablets

[Digestive] nutritionally support the digestive system, but they can also be used as a tasty breath mint. Papaya fruit contains an enzyme called papain that can break down protein, while peppermint leaves contain aromatic compounds that trigger the production of digestive fluids.

Tablets contain papaya fruit, peppermint leaf, fructose and sorbitol.

Chew 2 tablets with a meal three times daily, or use between meals as a breath freshener.

My husband wanted me to take apricot pits for the multiple myeloma, but we couldn't find anything, so we bought apricot pits on the Internet (from Michigan of all places, but I bet they got the pits from the packing shed down the street LOL), and he grinds them into a powder and puts them into capsules. Our capsule maker is pretty nifty - we bought it at the health food store down the street. It's called Cap-m-Quik.

Papaya Mint Blend

Price: $7.95

Quantity:

Papaya is a hearty fruit that is known to invigorate the mind and to restore a weary body, and so is a delicious cup of Papaya Mint Blend.

A culinary interesting combination, this tea takes the smooth taste of papaya and infuses it with the freshness of mint and herbs. A sweet collision between Hawaii and Morocco, you get the best of both culinary worlds. In addition, this tea is noted for its ability to aid in digestion.

The Papaya Mint blend is a refreshing after dinner treat that that provides warmth on a chilly winter's eve, or relief from the heat of mid-July day. This tea is great whether served hot or cold.

You and your family can enjoy up to fifty cups of tea by purchasing a three ounce package. Freshness is locked-in with a tight foil seal. Papaya Mint Blend is the best after dinner companion that provides both refreshment and relief.

I'm thinking you could pulverize this tea and put it into the cap-m-quik capsules. Would that work?
