Q: I’m concerned about the use of pesticides and the lack of regulation of ingredients coming from China. Are any of the ingredients from China?

A: Good Question. All of the herbs we use from China are from two sources that have very reputable preparation and farming practices. Asia Natural Products Inc and Mayway are the two herb suppliers we use. Read more below.

Asia Natural Products Inc.

“When I moved to San Francisco, I started to make my formulas with the herbs available here in the US. I discovered I wasn’t getting the results I consistently achieved in China. It became mandatory that we grow and import our own herbs, so our patients could get the results they deserve. The herbs available in the US were inferior and many varieties just weren’t available.”                                      ~ Dr. Kang, Founder of Asia Natural Products Inc.

Since 1991, Dr. Kang and Dr. Liang, expert herbalist and wife of Dr. Kang , learned many lessons about herbal procurement. The initial discovery was that they needed to visit remote growing regions and farmers rather than rely on the large central herb markets. Throughout the 1990s, Asia Natural has worked directly with farmers and university trained agronomists to find the sources of the main top quality herbs of Chinese medicine. It meant traveling from the eastern provinces of Jilin and Shangdong to the Western provinces of Gansu and Sichuan and going to remote growing sites rather than relying entirely on provincial capital government officials to place orders with farmers. Our president, Dr. Liang, OMD, goes to and represents the actual sites and pays cash to farmers and procurers for herbs that she selects. Over the years Asia Natural has developed friendly relationships and can represent farmers and procurers in more than six provinces.

Asia Natural’s herbs are grown naturally in the best soil conditions without growing agents, chemicals, GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) or pesticides. The herbs are cured naturally without sulfites, sugars or preservatives. It can take days, weeks, even months of herb preparation before they are ready to be used. It is a careful process, which cannot be rushed. Our standards are higher than industry. Quality means everything!”

Mayway

Our thirty years of experience, the combined strengths of our joint-venture herb processing facility and our exclusive partnerships with some of the best GMP factories in China allow us to provide you with superior unsulfured, preservative-free Chinese herbs…All of our manufacturers comply with the new stringent Chinese Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and have also been certified by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). GMP certification means that the site and methods employed in the production of our herbs has been subject to a thorough quality control investigation and is certified to be in compliance. Guidelines vary from country to country. The Australian standards are some of the highest in the world, as dietary and herbal supplements there are subject to the same guidelines as pharmaceuticals. The certification process covers everything from the building and grounds, to the equipment, personnel and training, to sanitation and hygiene, to air and water purification, to production and documentation. These standards for manufacturing are the guidelines upon which our manufacturers base each decision, and allow us to have the confidence to say that they are some of the best herbal product manufacturers not only in China, but also in the world today.”

A: One teaspoon a day is beneficial. Though, it is safe to take up to 3 teaspoons during stressful times in your life.

Q:   When should I take Shen Tonic?

A:   You can take it anytime. Its tonic herbs’ effects are remarkable and adapt to the body’s needs at the time. The Shen Tonic picks you up in the morning or settles your mind in the afternoon. Determine which effect you need most, and take the dosage accordingly.

Q:        Can I still take other types of herbs when I’m taking Shen Tonic?

A:        Yes. If it is a prescription from your acupuncturist, let them know that you are taking the Shen Tonic.

Q:        How long will a bottle of Shen Tonic last me?

A:        If you take the suggested dosage (1 tsp per day), the bottle will last you about a month.

Q:        Is it safe to drive after I take the Shen Tonic?

A:        Yes. Please note that there is a very small amount of alcohol in the formula. If you are concerned about the alcohol you can simply dilute the formula with more water; put 2 ounces of boiling water in a cup with dosage and wait until the drink cools, so the alcohol evaporates; or boil the formula in to evaporate the alcohol, and then add water to dilute what’s remaining.

Q:        Can I use a sweetener with Shen Tonic?

A:        That would be up to you. We recommend you use water to dilute the taste of the Shen Tonic, because it does taste pretty strong. If you prefer to add a sweetener we recommend natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, Stevia or agave nectar; a touch of rice, almond, goat or soy milk is great too.

Q:        Can the Shen Tonic cure my anxiety disorders?

A:        We are legally not allowed to make any curative claim. You would have to experiment and find out if it works for you. Other consumers do report experiencing very calming effects.

Q:        My daughter has ADHD can the Shen Tonic help her?

A:        Again, we are legally not allowed to make any curative claim. Besides, with individuals under the age of puberty, it is best to always check with your pediatrician before administering this product to a child.

Q:        Do I need to have a “rest” period when taking Shen Tonic to prevent my body from adapting and becoming “immune” to the herbs?

A:        No. This formula can be taken indefinitely as long as you take the formula according to the recommended dosage (1 tsp. a day). However, it’s recommended that you discontinue taking the product when cleansing/fasting, menstruating or during pregnancy and lactation.

Q: Do I need to consult with an herbal physician in order to take the Shen Tonic?

A:        No. However, if you are looking to treat a specific complaint, it is wise to seek a physician. Shen Tonic is a general formula and is adaptogenic (meaning that the herbs will balance out whatever deficiency or excess is present in your body).

Q:        I am very interested in taking take the Shen Tonic, but I am a recovering alcoholic, is there a formula without the alcohol?

A:        Not at this time. The Shen Tonic is handmade and uses alcohol as a preservative in accordance with the most ancient Chinese Medicine herb preparation methods. Unfortunately, too many practitioners opt out of tradition and choose the easy route by prescribing mass-manufactured herbal pills and powders, which is vastly inferior to our product potency. Therefore, the Shen Tonic comes only in one preparation form. You can remove the alcohol by mixing the dosage with 4 ounces of water and bring it to a boil. Then, let the drink cool to all the alcohol to evaporate. The remaining alcohol content is that of a ripe banana.

Q:        I suffer from allergies (hay fever) and I’m very careful about what things I put in my body, does Shen Tonic have any ingredient that might trigger an allergic reaction?

A:        No. Shen Tonic does not have any ingredients that are known to cause allergic reactions. Still, you should consult your allergist if you are concerned, or start taking it under a controlled trial period.

Q:        Can I give Shen Tonic to my infant son?

A:        Not recommended; it’s better to wait until your son is about 13 years old before you start giving him the Shen Tonic. Always check with your pediatrician before administering this product to a child.

Q:        Can I get addicted to Shen Tonic?

A:        No. The Shen Tonic is not habit forming. The key is to use only the recommended dosage. However, the results are very desirable and addictive, but a higher dose doesn’t up the effects with herb preparations.

Q:        I’m trying to lose weight; can Shen Tonic help me lose weight?

A:        Though its not touted as a weight loss product, the Shen Tonic addresses the underlying conditions that cause problems such as weight gain, depression, high blood pressure, etc. Nevertheless, it is still up to you to not habitually overeat, while living a sedentary life. To address your weight issue, just remember that short sessions of resistance exercises balanced with flexibility and cardio sessions can contribute to great weight loss results with a balanced food plan. Be conscious of your genetic predisposition.

Q:        I have eczema; can I use the Shen Tonic topically?

A:        The Shen Tonic is not designed to be applied topically, but if you take it as recommended (internally) it will address the underlying conditions that cause your eczema. There are some researchers that claim that eczema is related to one’s emotional state. You may want to look into that aspect of your well being, in addition to taking the Shen Tonic.

Q:        I live in England, do you ship overseas?

A:        Yes. We do charge a higher shipping and handling fee for overseas shipment for obvious reasons. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for any customs or excise taxes when you receive the product.

Q:        I already take the herbs that are listed in the ingredients list of the Shen Tonic, why would I need to take the Shen Tonic instead?

Q:       I have a hard time swallowing the Shen Tonic because of the strong taste. What do you suggest?

Q:        My bottle of Shen Tonic is down to the last third of the bottle and it’s really thick, can I just add water to the bottle to thin it a little bit?

A:        Yes, that works well.

Q:        I stained my shirt with the Shen Tonic. How can I take the stain off?

A:        You can try rubbing the stain with a strong detergent or stain remover, let the detergent absorb and then wash your shirt in hot water. If that does not work you may want to consult a stain expert (mom) or take your shirt to a dry cleaning shop for professional help. Careful the formula is strong and may stain fabrics.

Q:        I get loose bowels when I take the Shen Tonic. What do you suggest?

A:        If your elimination increases so much that you become weak, then slow down the intake process by taking a few days between dosages or by halving the dosage that you take. If your loose bowel continues, then discontinue taking the Shen Tonic, until such a time that you are healthier and cleaner inside. See a physician, there may be other underlying factors causing the reaction.

Q:        Is the Shen Tonic an aphrodisiac? Ever since I started taking the Shen Tonic my libido has skyrocketed. My wife loves it!

A:        Lucky you! The Shen Tonic enhances essence and life force, which directly affects one’s libido. A higher libido is a sign of health. Careful, not to overtax yourself (overworking, excessive computer use, and too much sex) or you’ll risk becoming deficient.

Q:        Coming from a scientific background, I would like to know if there are there any clinical studies of the Shen Tonic.

A:        You can research the individual herbs online for such information.

Q:       Ever since I started taking the Shen Tonic I’ve had many vivid dreams. Is this a common effect of taking the Shen Tonic?

A:        The Shen Tonic formula goes deep in our physiology and uproots the emotional stagnation hidden. Dreams are a way for us to purge those hidden subconscious issues that we haven’t faced. The Shen Tonic helps expose those subconscious issues for you to practice Present Centered Awareness—see Shen Life Teachings.

Q:        I just found out that I am pregnant. Shall I continue using the Shen Tonic? Or is it better to wait until after I give birth?

A:        You should stop taking the Shen Tonic. It is not recommended during pregnancy and while lactating. However, you can start taking it again once you are done breast-feeding your child to help build your strength.

Q:        Shall I take the Shen Tonic while I’m menstruating?

A:        To be safe, it is wise not too take the Shen Tonic while menstruating. However some clients actually double their dosage while menstruating to help deal with the physical and emotional stress that is induced by menstruation.

Q:        I’m addicted to drugs. I’ve tried to quit many times, but I have not succeeded. Can the Shen Tonic help?

A:        Addiction to drugs, or addiction to anything at all for that matter, is a result of our unwillingness or inability to face our self. As long as you are trying to hide from your shit you are susceptible to becoming addicted to drugs or some other thing to distract yourself from the pain of seeing yourself. The Shen Tonic can only help you quit your addiction if you are willing to face yourself.

Q: I go up and down emotionally. My partner is about to walk out on me because he cannot stand it anymore. I need help, but I don’t want to take anti-depressants. Can the Shen Tonic help?

A:        That is not the Shen Tonic’s purpose. Yes, the Shen Tonic addresses the underlying physiological roots of your emotional ups and down, but don’t expect it to even out your emotions, like a medication would. It takes a long term and dedicated commitment to understanding yourself and the human condition, in order for you to get a handle on your emotional health. Consider consulting a mental health physician for talk therapies to help you start addressing the instability. In some situations, they are helpful. The right therapist can help see through the haze of our skewed perception.

Q:        I’ve heard the Shen Tonic referred to as ‘enlightenment in a bottle.’ Is it true?

A:        We have heard that too and find it a great compliment. While the subject of enlightenment is beyond the scope of this FAQ sheet, we can say that we need all the help we can get in our pursuit of enlightenment. The Shen Tonic is one of the best formulas available that truly address the underlying biological aspects of spiritual development. If you want to know more about spiritual development you can read the Shen Life Teachings.

Q: What is the ShenTrition Formula?

A: ShenTrition goes beyond basic nutrition and offers a truly healing experience. It does so by providing a unique combination of adaptogenic (tonic) herbs in conjunction with superfoods, powerful greens, and a balance of macro-nutrients.

The foundation of this amazing formula, adaptogenic herbs, provides a normalizing influence on the body, neither over-stimulating nor inhibiting normal functions, but rather exerting a generalized tonifying effect. The core benefit of adaptogens is their ability to help the body cope more effectively with stress, and to help heal the systemic damage caused by stress.

Q: What is the purpose of the ShenTrition Formula?

A: Designed to feed the body high quality nutrition and heal the body with powerful herbs. Think of it as a healing snack.

The ShenTrition Formula provides fortification with an abundance of micro-nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, anti-oxidants, amino acids and enzymes) found in its ingredients. Typically, foods eaten are deficient of most vital nutrients due in part to conventional farming methods that don’t re-supply the soil with the natural, organic micro-nutrients. Therefore, the soil does not produce healthy foods naturally. This supplement addresses that deficiency along with boosting energy levels.

The optimal level of alkalinity for the body requires a delicate balance of the pH level, in order to support proper systemic function. A host of diseases and disorders are attributed to an overly acidic pH level. The ShenTrition Formula alkalizes and nourishes the body by providing it with a unique combination of greens, superfoods and herbal botanicals. Within these micro-nutrients are the necessary building blocks for tissue growth and repair. Additionally, these nutrients help the immune system to better protect your health.

The ShenTrition Formula combines an ideal amount of the macro-nutrients in a serving (protein, fats, and carbohydrates). Maintaining a crucial balance of these regulates the body’s blood sugar and stabilizes the body’s bio-chemistry. In turn, emotions, weight and energy levels are better regulated. Overloading on one excellent ingredient, like most supplements do, doesn’t translate into greater effects. In fact, the body can only absorb a particular amount of nutrients at a time—the extra is wasted. Therefore, the ShenTrition Formula offers the most bang for your buck by providing a diverse amount of ingredients in optimal amounts.

The third unique component of the ShenTrition Formula is its blend of tonic herbs. In Chinese Medicine, tonic herbs are touted to strengthen and enhance health, longevity and spiritual growth. You’ll find taking this product along with the Shen Tonic will give you the greatest advantage in all three of these areas.

Basically, the ShenTrition Formula truly addresses the body’s core needs holistically.

Q: I noticed that my stomach felt a bit nauseous when I started taking ShenTrition, why would that happen?

A: One of ShenTrition’s potent features is the very large dosage of adaptogenic herbs.  Sometimes, individual’s digestive power is weak and the result when bombarded with such high potent herbs is a slight bit of nausea.

Q: Will the Formula make me go to the bathroom a lot? Does it have a laxative effect?

A: Not to worry. It does not have ingredients that are intended to induce a purgative effect. Sometimes though you may go to the bathroom, as a result of your body receiving good foods. So, your body needs it.
Q: I get loose bowels when I drink the Formula. What do you suggest?

A: See a physician, there may be other underlying factors causing the reaction. If your elimination increases so much that you become weak, then slow down the intake process by taking a few days between drinking the Formula or by reducing the amount of the Formula in half. One of ShenTrition’s potent features is the very large dosage of adaptogenic herbs.  Sometimes, individual’s digestive power is weak and the result when bombarded with such high potent herbs is a slight bit of nausea. In such a case, reduce the serving size in half and take it for a week or so. Once that response is corrected with the herb power, gradually increase the dosage back up to the suggested serving size. If your loose bowel continues, then discontinue taking the ShenTrition Formula, until such a time that you are healthier.

Q: I go up and down emotionally. My partner is about to walk out on me, because he cannot stand it anymore. I need help, but I don’t want to take antidepressants. Can the ShenTrition Formula help?

A: That is not the ShenTrition Formula’s purpose. However, nutrition is a viable approach to regulate your inner chemistry that may affect your mood overall. So yes, the ShenTrition Formula can help with that. But don’t expect it to even out your emotions, like a prescription drug would. Only profession counselors can give you that assurance. On the other hand, it takes a long term and dedicated commitment to understanding yourself and the human condition, in order for you to get a handle on your emotional health. Consider consulting a mental health physician for talk therapies to help you start addressing your emotional instability. The right therapist can help us see through the haze of our skewed perception. In some situations, they are helpful.

Q: Are there any GMO or artificial ingredients in the ShenTrition Formula?

A: None whatsoever. The ShenTrition Formula is made with quality herbs, protein, fats, fruits, veggies, and superfoods in the world.

Q: Are there any preservatives used in the ShenTrition Formula?

A: None whatsoever. As powders, the quality is naturally preserved without altering the ingredient. When seeking manufacturers, we made very strict specifications to ensure that no fillers, hidden preservatives or other undesirable components be used in our product!

Q: Can I use the ShenTrition Formula as a meal replacement instead of eating regular food to lose weight?

A: This formula is powerful and balanced in it macronutrients; however , nothing can completely substitute the practice of sound eating. So, think of ShenTrition as a healing snack.

Q: How is the ShenTrition Formula different from the other greens or protein drinks that are available in the market?

A: The powerful ingredients of the ShenTrition Formula are combined in such a way to give you the most bang for your buck. Too many times supplements focus on one particular aspect of nutrition, thus overdoing it. Meanwhile, the body’s other needs are neglected. For instance, most of the green drinks on the market are not balanced with the important major macro nutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) and the results are obvious on the glycemic index. Shortly after taking them, often you are left with a sugar crash. Besides, those products are loaded with entirely too much of one thing. The advertising fails to tell you that no matter how much of an ingredient is in the formula, your body can only assimilate a certain amount of that ingredient within a given time period. So, one of the core ideas we focused on in this formulas is to provide the most ingredients that your body could assimilate at one time without wasting anything. In our approach, you get a larger array of powerful nutrients, which as I said before, gives you more bang for your buck!

Furthermore, many of the protein type drinks on the market are derived from animal sources and are overloaded with too many amino acids. This creates two problems: over-taxation of the kidneys and the creation of high levels of acidity within the body. The ShenTrition Formula uses hemp protein—a plant-based protein—that happens to be one of the best foods that rebuild and repair tissues. Hemp protein is known as one of the plant kingdom’s most complete protein sources. It alkalizes the body, rather than creating acidity, plus, hemp protein is packed full of healthy Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids! We put the right amount of hemp protein in the mix, so that the kidneys aren’t strained, and a healthy amount of Omega fatty acids are available. This makes it much easier for your body to digest and assimilate the ingredients! In addition, hemp protein is an excellent source of fiber too!

Besides the leading adaptogenic formula contains 500-1000 mg of herbs…ShenTrition provides over 5600 mg of adaptogens.

Honestly, the ShenTrition Formula is simply better!

Shen Cleanse

Q:        What is the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System used for?

A:        The Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System is designed to systematically detoxify and balance out the major eliminatory organs (namely, the bowel, liver, gallbladder, urinary bladder and kidneys), bodily fluids and tissues.

Q:        What are the benefits of detoxifying with the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System?

A:        By flushing out our eliminative organs, our entire state of health benefits. We may begin to experience some of the following: increased circulation, which will nourish the cells and tissues; enhanced immune function for enhanced disease resistance; better absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients; increased energy and vitality; and an overall better attitude.

Q:        What are the toxins that accumulate in the body?

A:        Some of these toxic substances are metabolic waste, fecal matter, fat, cholesterol, pesticides, artificial flavorings, food additives and a host of other man-made chemicals.

Q:        Why do toxins accumulate in the body?

A:        Toxins accumulate in the body due to the following reasons: lack of movement or exercise, consumption of the wrong kinds of foods, reacting stressfully to situations, taking prescription or recreational medications, using unnatural products (lotions, make-up, toiletries, cleansers, drugs, etc.), not getting the appropriate amount of rest, not breathing correctly, resisting forgiveness, having a generally negative outlook on life and of course genetic predisposition. You can lessen the amount of toxins that your body accumulate by doing the opposite of everything listed above (except changing your genetic predisposition).

Q:        Where do these toxins come from?

A:        These toxins are ever-present in our environment. They come from the food we eat, the air we breathe, the lotions and potions we apply on our body, the cleaners we use at home, and other sources that are too numerous to list. The main thing to keep in mind is that we are constantly bombarded with toxins, which is why we need to detoxify regularly, if we want to be healthy and stay healthy.

Q:        How often should I cleanse or detoxify?

A:        You should cleanse every three/four months to stay clear of toxin accumulation. Remember that detoxifying has a cumulative effect. The more regularly you do it the more benefit you get.

Q:        Will I go to the bathroom a lot?  Does it have a laxative effect?

A:        Likely yes you will expel more waste than usual. You may need to go to the bathroom more often than you normally do, because of a sluggish system. There’s no cause for alarm. It’s a sign that the System is doing its job. The Detoxing Tea System is designed to gently, but effectively, detoxify the body. If you experience overwhelming results, then reduce the amount of time you steep the Intestinal Tea, or sip it slowly over the course of a day.

Q:        I get loose bowels when I drink the Detoxing Teas. What do you suggest?

A:        If your elimination increases so much that you become weak, then slow down the intake process by reducing the amount of time you steep the Intestinal Tea or reduce the amount of tea that you drink each time. If your loose bowel continues, then try sipping the Intestinal Tea a few gulps at a time over the course of the day. Then if you still experience problems, discontinue taking the Intestinal Tea, but continue with the Liver and Kidney Teas. See a physician, there may be other underlying factors causing the reaction.

Q:        What are the steps in detoxifying using the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System?

A:        Please follow these directions:

Daily Detox Schedule Take herbal formula according to this table. Check (X) off each day as completed.
IT	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5
IT, LV, AP	Day 6	Day 7	Day 8	Day 9	Day 10
IT, LV, KD	Day 11	Day 12	Day 13	Day 14	Day 15
IT – Intestinal Formula, LV – Liver Formula   KD – Kidney Formula

Step 1—Intestinal Tea

Begin with the Intestinal Tea and steep one tea bag for 3-20 minutes. Drink one tea bag per day for 15 days. Results happen in about 12 hours, so its likely most convenient to drink the tea in the evening. The other most popular regimen is to pour boiling water over one tea bag in a thermos to sip on throughout the day.

Step 2—Liver Tea

On the sixth day, start the Liver Tea and continue the Intestinal Tea. Steep one tea bag in 6 – 8 ounces for 5-20 minutes and drink; reusing the Liver Tea by pouring more hot water on it is good to do. Drink one tea bag of both teas per day for the remaining 10 days. You may drink both the Intestinal and Liver Teas together at once, but you may want to take the Intestinal Tea once at night.

Step 3—Kidney Tea

On the eleventh day, start the Kidney Tea and continue the Intestinal and Liver Teas. Steep one tea bag in 6 – 8 ounces for 5-20 minutes and drink; reusing the Kidney Tea by pouring more hot water on it is good to do.  Drink one tea bag of each formula per day for the remaining 5 days. You may drink all three teas at once.

Q:        Are there any dietary considerations to follow when using the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System?

A:        Yes, but yes you are going to eat! The effect of the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System becomes more effective when you follow these dietary considerations:

Make organic food choices. Other foods are not suggested. Note, in the following recommendations, a serving size equals the size of your hand.

During the AM hours, eat four to six servings of fruits from the following list: apples, pears, honeydew, watermelons, blueberries, cherries, oranges, tangerines and grapefruits.

During the PM hours, eat four to six servings of vegetables from the following list collards, mustard, beet or turnip greens; cabbage; broccoli; cauliflower; kale; and brussel sprouts. The vegetables should be cooked, preferably steamed or stir-fried.

Q:        I noticed that you are recommending a vegetarian diet. I’m not a vegetarian; can I still use the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System and benefit from it?

A:        Most definitely. We are not necessarily recommending a vegetarian diet. We are recommending these dietary suggestions only while you are using the Detoxing Tea System because this enhances the effects and benefits of the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System. If you want to continue eating the way you normally do while using the Detoxing Tea System, by all means, do so – you will still benefit greatly from the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System.

Q:        What about fasting? Is it advisable to fast while using the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System?

A:        Fasting is a very extreme practice and you are the one person to be the best judge of the benefit or damage resulting. We advise against it because it does not suit all persons and constitutions. It can add unnecessary stress or be a benefit depending on your system. This gamble is counter-productive to what we are trying to accomplish. If you follow the dietary considerations above to the best of your ability you can have a very effective detoxifying regimen.

Q:        What about fluids? What shall I drink and how much?

A:        Please follow these guidelines regarding fluid intake:

· Drink eight to ten glasses of distilled or reverse osmosis water per day.

· You can sip on non-caffeinated, organic, herbal teas throughout the day also.

But we suggest cutting back on your caffeine consumption (particularly coffee), because the caffeine in coffee might be a contributing factor to your stress and anxiety level.

Q:        What about beer or wine?

A:        We do not suggest drinking any alcohol while detoxing. If that suggestion stimulates serious resistance, consider seeking professional help.

Q:        I’m a smoker. Do I need to quit smoking to benefit from the Shen Cleanse Detoxing Tea System?

A:        Needless to say, smoking does not support healthy cells, tissues, organs, or minds.
