And take shikimic acid in one of these forms: star anise herbal tea (4 pods crushed per cup in a tea strainer); fennel seed (1 tablespoon crushed per cup of tea in a strainer); or Goji and Schizandra Drops (I buy them at DragonHerbs.com). The teas taste like licorice. He can add honey to them; I also add a cinnamon stick and a splash of single malt, which is tasty. I'm not a fan of licorice, but I can stomach this. The drops are very tart, but taste like cranberries, so not bad at all. I put about 6-8 drops in about an ounce of water and stir them, then throw it back like a shot of tequila.
I buy my herbs at Mountain Rose Herbs. (I'm sure you already know all of this, LJ.) And I love these tea strainer cups: Sweese tea infuser mug.
I was also told to take a detox bath, which I did and it absolutely helped, but it's super gross and messy. I can post those instructions if you are interested.
