Preparing Your Holy Tea Beverage To Taste
Metric Equivalents: 1 Gallon = 3.79 Liters 1 Quart = .95 Liter Not properly diluting your tea could result in a stronger Healing Crisis (click here for more info) Bring a quart of water to a full rolling boil, turn off the stove, let the water sit a couple of minutes before putting in two tea bags, cover, and let STEEP for at least four to eight hours. This brings the herbs to full potency. Add water or your favorite beverage to make a gallon, Refrigerate ready to drink. Drink two 8 oz. & one 4 oz glasses per day, more, when your body wants it. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. It will tell you when to make the Tea stronger! It tastes great! You can mix Holy Tea with any other juice or tea, if you like. A good way to help Holy Tea work faster: A ¼ tsp. of baking soda in a tumbler, add 2-3 Tbs apple cider vinegar, drink, and follow with Holy Tea. Do this after breakfast and dinner, and watch the great results. Apple cider vinegar is very healthy. This, combined with Holy Tea, is the best natural anti-biotic known to man. After drinking the gallon of tea, save the tea bags, dry the tea herbs, and simply add to any food: soups, spaghetti, stews, salads, potatoes, etc. Two bags of Holy Tea produce one gallon. If you drink one 8-ounce glass or mug of Holy Tea twice per day (with 2 meals) it lasts for 8 days. 8 bags of Holy Tea will last for one month (32 days). If you drink an extra 4-ounce glass of Holy Tea with a snack then 2 bags of Holy Tea will last about 6.5 days, and 8 bags (4 gallons) will last for about 24 days. IMPORTANT: Holy Tea must be steeped in water which is HOT - close to the boiling point, but NOT BOILING. DO NOT MICROWAVE! Excessive heat will destroy the important tea enzymes. (If using a kettle to heat the water, remove it after you first hear the bubbling noises or see steam. If the water has already come to a rapid boil, let it set for a few minutes to cool and stop the boiling.)

HOLY TEA INGREDIENTS:
Scientists believe that the rich fiber and phenolic content of persimmon leaves, increases the amount of lipids removed from the body as feces. Persimmon leaves have beneficial effects on hemostatsis, constipation, hypertension, apoplexy, and atherosclerosis.
The seeds are used in Tibetan medicine, where they are considered to have a sweet and astringent taste plus a healing potency. They are used in the treatment of renal disorders, the retention of fluids, frequent thirst and diarrhea.
Suggested Use of Holy Tea Always drink the Holy Tea while eating food - not on its own. Drink about 8 ounces with meals like breakfast and dinner, and drink about 4 ounces with a snack or a light lunch. If you need to drink more or less of your Holy Tea beverage, you are free to do so. But remember that it is a cathartic and detoxifying tea, so it is possible to experience a little discomfort during the first few days when your body is going through the initial cleansing and elimination of accumulated toxins and old waste material. You will likely be going to the bathroom more frequently for a few days, so plan ahead if you are not at home. Don't worry, you are not going to be running to the bathroom! You will just be getting a natural urge to go more often than before - perhaps two to three times per day. And it should be natural and effortless, with no straining. If you work Monday to Friday, it may be best to start taking your Holy Tea on a Friday after work, so you can be at home over the weekend. As you continue to drink your Holy Tea every day, you will be removing more and more toxins and impacted fecal matter from your colon, and you will start to feel better and have more energy. The more that has built up over the years, the longer it will take to clean out a larger amount. We suggest at least 3 months of drinking Holy Tea every day. Many users keep drinking it for years. As your colon is being cleared of the material that is clogging it, you should see your abdomen start to shrink. You will lose inches from your waist, and you will lose pounds of excess weight. Drink More Water! IMPORTANT: You also need to drink 8 cups (64 oz.) of clean water daily, which is recommended for everyone every day, whether you have any of the above mentioned conditions or not! Not drinking enough water reduces your body's ability to get rid of wastes and toxins. It is especially important while detoxing your body to give it lots of water to help your kidneys, sweat glands, lymphatic system, lungs, and digestive tract flush out the toxins and waste material. Water is the "universal solvent" which acts as the carrier to transport nutrients into your cells and flush waste material out of your cells. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE on how your body will react to a cleansing. It is a good suggestion to drink less than the recommended the first day (for instance the recommended is 16 oz a day, start the first day with 10 oz, especially if you want to get the feel of how the herbs are going to work with you in cleansing the system) and increase to the recommended amount.

Watchers – No Points!) Healing Crisis Information: You May Feel Worse Before You Begin to Feel Better... The Road To Better Health may Begin with a Healing Crisis As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue. It is important that you adequately rest during this time. These symptoms will pass as your body begins to normalize to a new level of health. As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing. You may feel worse before you feel better. For example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes may reappear or get worse for a period of time as your body eliminates toxins through the skin. You may also experience an initial increase in urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting worse, you are actually getting better. Eventually you will reach a plateau of better health. During the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted. Understanding The Healing Crisis
The body has an inherent desire for perfect health. We have the ability to earn our way back to that state, no matter how "normal" or bad our health is now. But in the meantime, the body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. The elimination process is often referred to as the "healing crisis." Once the healing crisis starts, reactions may be mild or severe. Expect ups and downs as it takes awhile to get good health back. In a healing crisis, every body system works together to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new. A disease occurs when the body cannot make it through its natural healing crises for one reason or another. The body is "locked" into a destructive and shut down place, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Symptoms of the healing crisis may at first be identical to the disease it is meant to heal. But there is an important difference: elimination. A cleansing, purifying process is underway and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. The body, mind, and spirit are no longer "locked." Sometimes pain and symptoms during the healing crisis are more intense than that of the chronic disease, but it is temporary and necessary.
Physical reactions could include skin eruptions, nausea, headache, sleepiness, unusual fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, head or chest cold, ear infections, boils, or any other way the body uses to loosen and eliminate toxins. An initial healing crisis usually lasts around three days but if the energy of the patient is low, it may last a week or more. Your body needs juices, and especially water to help carry off the toxins. This is a time for rest. Be kind to yourself --- mentally, emotionally, and of course physically. One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure. The person in a chronic "locked" disease state will often have to go through cycles of healing crises, with each one improving the condition some. It has taken time to develop a chronically diseased state, and time is required to let go of the "locked" energy, piece by piece. It's like peeling the layers off an onion.
With a more serious condition, there may be many small crisis to go through before the system can become healthily balanced. Everything must be considered and given its proper place in the build-up to a healing crisis. One should expect it and work with the body, not resentfully against it. A healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction which occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. A healing crisis can result from any holistic/natural therapy such as homeopathy, naturopathy, improved diet, etc. more The reversal process is another part of the healing crisis. It is necessary to revisit each step the body has been through that brought it to its current state of dis-ease. People learn from an early age that symptoms are bad and should be stopped or suppressed. They take all kinds of drugs to stop their bodies from eliminating catarrah and waste. This is very confusing to the body! Mucus production is the body's perfect mechanism for taking out the garbage! If that process is suppressed, the immune system is compromised and the next time it doesn't work quite so well. The body has it's own memory and it remembers all the injuries and all the times it was suppressed. In the reversal process these memories are brought to light in reverse order from which they happened and people re-experience illnesses and traumas in a phenomenon known as retracing. The difference this time is that the symptoms come and go quickly and there is an underlying sense that the whole process is not threatening, that it is natural and health promoting. The healthy changes people feel after a healing crises remain as long as a health supportive lifestyle is embraced, as long as one continues to honor the remarkable and extraordinary intelligence of the body. Give the body what it needs to constantly create strong new tissue and the reward will be wonderful health and vitality. Herxheimer Reaction (The Healing Crisis)The Herxheimer Reaction occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them.[v] When this occurs, one will suffer from headaches, nausea, vomiting, and malaise. Even though this is but a short period of the health program, it can be severe and deter one from reaching their intended goals. Also, the person may not know what they are experiencing and think that they are regressing. To minimize the Herxheimer Reaction:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALING CRISIS AND ILLNESS? There are symptoms during a healing crisis that may be confused with illness but the difference is that these symptoms are short in duration and move from one part of the body to another, from inside out and from top to bottom. There is usually a lack of appetite and may be a fever. Illness is a very different scenario where one or more of the organs are not working well, causing toxic build up of waste material that can't get out. There is fear during illness, a feeling of being out of control as opposed to the prevailing feeling during a healing crisis that underneath all the symptomology everything is working just the way it should and everything is really OK. The reversal process is another part of the healing crisis. It is necessary to revisit each step the body has been through that brought it to its current state of dis-ease. People learn from an early age that symptoms are bad and should be stopped or suppressed. Physiological Reactions By H. Reg McDaniel, MD As you begin to change your diet and supplement your diet with our exclusive health-building products, positive changes begin to happen within your body. The ideal reaction is the gradual development of an increased sense of well-being. At first you will notice that you do not tire so easily. You will have more sustained energy during the day, and you will not become tired so early in the evening. As sense of well-being increases, you may begin to feel more emotionally and psychologically secure. Little things do not bother you as they once did. Your old patterns will begin to change from "grumpy" ones to "happy" ones. However, in a significant minority, a number of uncomfortable reactions may occur as you begin to physiologically balance your body chemistry and revitalize your immune system through the support of cellular communication. It is not easy for your body to adjust overnight to a long history of inappropriate diet. The longer the deficiencies have existed, the more prevalent the response is likely to be. Corrective responses that may occur are associated with: fever, rash or hives, excessive gas, runny nose, headaches, insomnia, increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, fever blisters, dry mouth, canker sores, constipation, dizziness, nervousness, and various body aches and pains in joints and muscles. When these reactions occur, you can be assured your body is making positive changes toward an improved state of health. If you recognize these as the cleansing response, it will be easier to accept them as steps on the road to better health. These conditions are a small price to pay for long-lasting benefits. Reasons for Reactions Immune Response When your body is exposed to long periods of emotional, physical and environmental stress (heavy metal, petrochemical, other chemical exposures) combined with an inappropriate diet, your natural defense system can become compromised and less efficient. When the immune system is restored, the reactions may come in the form of flu-like symptoms. Toxic Dump The human body has an amazing cleansing system for eliminating toxins that accumulate in the body. This system can also become inefficient and allow toxins to build up and be stored, especially in body fat, rather than be eliminated. Once this natural cleansing system begins to work more efficiently, reactions can occur. These reactions result from the stored toxins begin released faster than the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body. These reactions can include loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and swelling in various lymph glands throughout the body. Allergic-Type Reactions These reactions can be caused by a deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and/or by dysfunctional or exhausted liver and adrenal glands. An allergic-type reaction can include skin rashes and shortness of breath. What To Do 1. Attempt to drink at least one half your body weight in ounces of water, or a combination of fruit and vegetable juices, per day. This will help flush out the toxins and support the cleansing of the kidneys. 2. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and bran from cereals. This can help accelerate the removal of toxins of any type. 3. Include an activity component in your daily routine. Walking for 15 minutes is a good place to start. Exercise is another good way to support detoxification. If the reaction is too strong for you to tolerate, you can reduce or even discontinue the supplements for a couple of days, and then gradually build back up to the recommended amounts. ? This routine may need to be repeated, depending on the depleted condition of your body and the amount of repair needed at the cellular level.

important dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin A & C, and
flavonoids, have been widely used as a tea in oriental
countries.
Malva
Leaf (Chinese Mallow) - Often made into a tea to
soothe the membranes of the digestive system. Malva Leaf
is mildly astringent and diuretic and used to treat
gastroenteritis, stomachache and conditions of the spleen. Malva Leaf is also thought to be a mild laxative.
Holy

intestines, constipation, and liver troubles. It is very
effective for dropsy, strengthens the heart, and is good for the
liver, lungs, and kidneys. 
Marshmallow
Root/Leaf - Traditionally used to soothe and support
the intestines. It is an oldtime remedy for bladder infection,
digestive upsets, fluid retention, intestinal disorders, kidney
problems, sinusitis and sore throat. Marshmallow is a natural
source of beta-carotene, amino acids, minerals and vitamins and
is often used as a filler in the compounding of pills. Primary
chemical constituents in Marshmallow include substantial
mucilage, polysaccharides, flavonoids (quercetin), kaempferol,
asparagine, tannins, lecithin and pectin. The great demulcent
and emollient properties of Marshmallow make it useful in
inflammation and irritation of the alimentary canal and of the
urinary and respiratory organs. Marshmallow also contains large amounts of vitamin A,
calcium, zinc and significant amounts of iron, sodium, iodine
and B-complex vitamins. Marshmallow reduces

flatulence. More recently it has shown to be useful in:
Indigestion, heartburn and poor appetite.
**Traditionally used to
stimulate menstruation and abortion, and therefore should be
avoided during pregnancy. It can worsen ulcers.
Blessed thistle may possibly increase the production of acid in
the stomach, thereby interfering with the effectiveness of
antacids and over-the-counter medications such as Pepcid AC and
Zantac AR.
