Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thank you Limin for your gorgeous response! Today I put two teaspoons of Flora Vital into about 8 or more capsules and I said to my son....you can take it this way " or " you can just get it down with a water chaser and get it over with. I told him we could use our minds to rise above the idea of the smell and taste and he did it! No ill effects! yay. yay. yay. I then remembered...what is the herb which is known as the most iron dense plants on the planet....I couldn't remember the name so I googled the above and up comes Yellow Dock and I thought that's it! That's the one. In reading about Yellow Dock again, it could help so many of us. It is however high in oxalates, as are many herbs, so a caution there. Good blood cleanser, good for constipation to keep things moving smoothly. I am wondering about the age limit on this herb as most of the sites say not before age 6 but they all say something like that. Snippet from blueboyherbs.com " Yellow dock is famous because of its ability to increase the amount of iron that is accessible to the blood system. It is also noted because of its ability to purify the blood. In Eclectic medicine it was much used in this way in many skin disorders. It is an excellent agent to cleanse the lymphatic system. Therefore the main uses are when the body is run down and has lost its ability to properly remove toxins. In anemia yellow dock is one of the most important herbs in the entire materia medica. I have combined it with Polymnia Uvedalia (Bearsfoot), and Poke root. This unique combination would be very fruitful for all those who are in need of a combination to build blood. I have seen the clinical results in cases of chemotherapy and radiation in cancer treatment. Of course these practices kill blood cells and anemia is the immediate side effect. In cases where people have taken this combination the blood count is up the next day. " Any experience with this herb?
