It's Dual Action Cleanse. It works great and I was wondering if anyone thinks there's anything harmful in it besides fillers and maybe some soy.Here are the ingredients:

There appears to be some excellent herbs in this cleanser. Similar to Parastroy. What is the name of this cleanser?

- Gael, it looks like: Dual Action Cleanse
In 19994,
You said it had other fillers but I could not find additional ingredients listed at their site.
I tried to find the parent site. Not sure. Is this it?
Search the company itself, not just the list of ingredients. You want to know ALL about the company, too. And their sources.
I don't get a good instinct from the website but, then, I'm just not drawn to slick websites. The beautiful model with bare belly and tape measure sends the wrong message. To me, that compromises their integrity.
On paper, so to speak, the ingredients all look good (if you can trust the source). Just two things (that I see) to consider:
1. Cascara sagrada -- it's either this or another similar herb (there are two main ones. I think it is this and Senna) that can stain the colon.
If you plan a colonoscopy soon, it may be hard for them to do the test.
Since I'm not sure, you can just find out more with a web cross search probably something like:
cascara+sagrada, colon, stain
herbs, stain, colonoscopy
cascara+sagrada, stain, colonoscopy
If cascara is one of those, it may not have such an effect in such a small amount with so many other herbs and fiber, but it's still a question.
You might be sure to drink LOTS of water not just during this taking effect but also afterward.
If you do plan a colonoscopy, well in advance, search which herbs (or dark foods, too?) to avoid for how long.
2. While the amount of iodine (kelp) is rather low per dose, if you feel "wired" at all, just know that kelp can do that.
====================
Though not at all about lyme, this is one of the best reference resources on my bookshelf that has wonderful chapters, many graciously available through their website.

Yes it's dual action cleanse. If you've ever watched late night tv. Theres a skeletal looking guy who loves to talk about bowel movements. Its that stuff.
It works incredibly well and if it's safe, I would absolutely recommend it to all here who have any constipation issues.
Thanks

Be aware that this product is not gluten free because it contains barley powder.
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Razzle made a good catch. With the spacing of ingredients, it's hard to read.
It's not even barley grass powder (which can be gluten-free if certified so) but actual "barley powder" - from the mature grain - so that clearly has gluten.
Hard to believe they would include that when so many with gut problems must be gluten-free.
Actually, unless a product states specifically that it's certified gluten-free, IMO, it's just not a safe bet. -
