If you experience any signs of healing that are unpleasant, please immediately read the mandatory instruction flyer here - it will tell you exactly what to do - especially points 25 and 26. Please continue to scroll down this website page for crucial information about the healing process so that you fully understand how it works and why it is necessary to go through these healing reactions in order to heal yourself.
Please contact us immediately if you received the wrong item or if an order was damaged during transit. The date you see on the bottom of the bottles is often the manufacturing date - when the product was manufactured, and NOT the expiration date. You can easily distinguish between the two by looking at the three letters just before the date. Our expiration dates are always preceded by EXP. The manufacturing date is always preceded by MFG.
You must understand that our supplements are very strong and you may experience signs of healing that are uncomfortable or unpleasant. This is a very important part of the healing process. Please see below for more details about Herings Law of the Cure and the Healing Crisis. This information is critically important for your health and wellbeing. It could be the one factor that makes a huge difference in your health and even save your life.
You may have misunderstood how to take your formula if you did not see our instructions. Our instructions cover most every possible thing that can happen to you when you take our very strong, concentrated herbs. Please take a moment to review the the instructions for how to take our products. Please click here to go over the instructions. This covers most "reactions" to herbs. Please read this sheet thoroughly so that you understand how herbs work. Do not skip this step! Our herbs are NOT the same as the herbs manufactured by other herbal companies. Do not assume that you know how herbs work - even if you have taken herbs before.
For some people who have acid reflux or a stomach ulcer (some people know they have this diagnosis while many others have these conditions and do not yet realize it), they may experience a little nausea or heartburn with formulas containing garlic or may experience burning sensations when they take the alcohol extracts straight out of the bottle. This is an easy fix: simply dilute the formula with extra water (up to 8 ounces), take the formula with food, avoid garlic or simply lower the dose. We highly encourage people to take their power back and experiment with their doses to find the right combination that works for them. If taste is an issue, we highly recommend adding stevia or other natural sweeteners to your formulas.
Sometimes new customers misunderstand the opaqueness of our formulas and think that something has gone wrong with our formulas. We have been doing this for over 20 years - there is nothing wrong! Our formulas are intentionally opaque because they are highly concentrated. We bring you something truly unique that no other company can offer you. We know we are different and we do it on purpose because our customers get better results that way. Our essential oils sometimes contains colors because we have found them to be more effective that way. This is done intentionally as a result of the extensive decades-long research Dr. Foster has done on herbs and essential oils as well as her clinical experience.
Herbs do NOT work like prescription medications. It is important to understand the difference between the two. Herbs often work more slowly over time, because, unlike pharmaceutical medications, they do not push or force the body to do something it is not ready to do. So, herbs work with your body instead of against it. Sometimes your body will want to heal something more important than the health issue that you are working on, so even though you have seen results in other areas of your body, the issue you're working on may not respond right away. This is normal. It may take longer to heal chronic or long-standing issues. This is called Herings Law of the Cure and it applies to healing ALL health issues naturally. This applies to YOU PERSONALLY so please click here or on the image to the right to understand how this very important law of healing determines how to heal from any disease.
True healing does NOT occur with pharmaceutical medications. There are no vitamins, minerals, enzymes or any nutrition whatsoever in prescription and over the counter medications. These are synthetic chemicals that often provide a "quick fix" while sacrificing a different part of your body that then suffers later. Do not ever trust a medical doctor who pronounces you cured after giving you synthetic chemical treatments. We at Dr. Fosters Essentials often have to undo the liver and kidney damage done to people by the medications they have been taking. Herbs contain essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other phytonutrients that work with your body to heal from the inside out. It is nutrition that heals your body - NOT synthetic chemicals. Do not give up after one bottle of herbs. It can sometimes take 2 or 3 months to reach the first healing crisis and make a dramatic turnaround in your health. It will definitely NOT happen if you give up.
Our primary focus is on providing you with the information you need in order to heal yourself. This is NOT an Amazon store.

We offer extensive information on how to heal yourself naturally. Did you notice our large collection of articles on how to heal yourself?

Most people will not have reactions to herbal products, but some will. 99.9% of the time, these are NOT allergic reactions or side effects. This issue is VITALLY important. Some people may feel temporary headache, fatigued, weak, experience muscle aches, or even break out in a rash as these synthetic chemical toxins are moving out of their body. You could get a coated tongue as your intestines are cleaning out, experience unusual smells in your bowel movements or urine, or even get a metallic taste in your mouth as heavy metals you have been exposed to and that have been stored in your body tissues over many years finally are released from the tissues to be permanently eliminated from your body.
These healing reactions are ultimately caused by the pharmaceutical medications you have taken and the synthetic chemicals you have been exposed to over many years as well as the chronic constipation problems from which most Americans suffer - having only one bowel movement per day. Synthetic chemicals, heavy metals, residues from old infections, mucous, the mucoid plaque layer and other toxins are trying to work themselves out of your body as part of the healing process. The mucoid plaque layer is a layer of hardened mucous that lines the intestinal tract. It can be removed with colon cleansing and juice fasting. When it comes out, it literally looks like pieces of intestines came out. Not to worry - this is just hardened mucus, and when it is passed out of the body, it can change your entire body and metabolism for the good.
These reactions typically do not last more than a few days and are a vitally important part of your healing process - if possible, they should not be blocked with synthetic prescription medications which can thwart the healing efforts you just made. The book Doctor-Patient Handbook, written by Dr. Bernard Jensen, one of the greatest natural healers of our time who healed patients of all types of diseases for over 50 years, describes the healing crisis, unwinding and retracing process in great detail. Symptoms you have experienced in the past can often reappear as part of the healing process. Pharmaceuticals and chemicals you have been exposed to can come out of the tissues during your healing process and can cause some discomfort. Some people are simply experiencing headache and fatigue from caffeine withdrawal. If you read our instructions, you will know exactly what to do if this happens. The great healers focused on detoxifying the gut first to avoid many of these reactions, so if you have skipped the recommended colon cleansing that I have stressed and emphasized throughout this website, go back and do it now. If you have taken a lot of pharmaceutical medications or just gotten out of the hospital where you took a lot of medications, even the Vibrant Colon Formula, which is not simply a colon formula, but a liver healing formula as well - which is where most pharmaceutical residues as well as heavy metals are stored, may cause a healing reaction to occur, and in this case, you should lower the dose and be patient. Work with Colon Detox Caps to absorb the chemicals and toxins that are coming out of you.
Herbs are not the only cause of a healing crisis. Doing a juice fast, doing water therapies, reflexology techniques and many other natural healing techniques will also cause a healing crisis. Even using energy healing techniques over the years, I have noted that pain can often intensify just before working its way out of the body and finally being released. The healing crisis is a wonderful indicator that you have made progress in your healing and is very important. It means you're on the right track. This is the time to say to yourself, "Dear Lord, I am very thankful - I have found something to heal my body. It will eventually work its way completely out of my system. All I need to do is to be patient and keep trying."
The people who have the most reactions to herbs and natural healing techniques are the ones who have the most toxins in their body, who have had the most medical and pharmaceutical interventions, have had their gallbladder, appendix, tonsils, uterus, ovaries, breast, tumors or cysts removed because their body was so toxic and their medical doctors didn't know any other way to solve the toxicity problem other than to do surgery. They are the ones who who need herbs the most! Do not give up! You are in complete control of your healing experience. You are not the helpless victim your doctor has tried to convince you that you are. Most of the time, simply cutting your dose in half or taking a formula every other day is all that's needed.
You do not need to always take the full dose that is listed on the product label. Micro-doses are fine to get started. If you are underweight, your dose may be lower, and if you weigh more than 150 pounds, you may actually need to raise your dose higher than what's listed on the product label. Each subsequent cleanse becomes easier as your clear out more and more toxins and begin to regain your health.

Beginning with testing of the raw materials and throughout all stages of manufacturing, our herbal products are extensively tested for heavy metals and microbial contamination numerous times before the final product is even complete. They are all sourced from organic farms or wildcrafted from very pure areas in North and South America and have been tested over 20 years' time.
Dr. Foster has personally visited with, has established relationships with and maintains relationships with many organic growers, herb farms and manufacturers. All of our manufacturers have FDA-approved labs and are GMP certified. The selection of each herb for a formula is very rigorous, with many formulas undergoing testing numerous times not only on the raw materials, but throughout the manufacturing process and even after completion of the final product. Many popular herbal companies import their herbs from China and India because it is cheaper, and many of those cheap herbs are contaminated. We refuse to important cheap herbs because we insist on purity in all of our products, and also because we usually cater to very sick people who cannot tolerate chemicals. This is NOT a multi-level company where we cut corners on the product so that the distributors can all make a "cut."
Because our herbs are about 5 to 10 times stronger than our competitors, some people do notice that their body begins to detoxify and synthetic chemicals and medications they have taken over many years will attempt to move out of the body, sometimes causing a "healing reaction." This is a positive sign of healing that means the herbs are without a doubt working to bring your closer to your health goals.
Whose Fault is it? Sometimes people want someone to blame when they do not feel well. We all need to put the blame where it belongs. The people to blame for this healing reaction are the following:
These doctor-prescribed and corporate manufactured synthetic chemicals are NOT safe and they cause diseases - many of which you currently suffer from. These are the synthetic chemicals that come out of your body when you take pure organic highly concentrated herbs and do herbal cleanses. In order to heal, this MUST HAPPEN. This beautiful amazing healing process will NOT happen with cheap, watered-down herbal products that are commonly sold in stores and online, and it will NOT happen when you take prescription or over the counter medications. Therefore, if you want to get well, these toxic chemicals must be removed from your body - there is no other way! The good news is that when these synthetic toxic chemicals come out during a "true" herbal cleanse, people often recover their health.
