GI Cocktail Instructions

Basic Mixing Instructions:  ALWAYS USE A SHAKER BOTTLE TO MIX THE PRODUCT.  BEGIN WITH 1 SMALL DOSE AND GRADUALLY WORK UP TO A FULL TABLESPOON 2 X DAILY, AM & PM. ALWAYS FOLLOW TAKING THIS PRODUCT BY DRINKING ANOTHER GLASS OF WATER OF BETWEEN 12-16 OZ. WITHIN 30-60 MINUTES. 

Ideal daily dosage of the GI Cocktail is 20 to 28 grams total.

Contains:  1/2 lb blend;  Certified Organic Blend–  No. 1  psyllium husk powder, marshmallow root, slippery elm, cat’s claw, licorice root, barberry, red clover, baobob tree fruit, alfalfa leaf, wildcrafted pau d arco.  No. 2 contains all of the same contents with the exception of whole psyllium husk rather than the powder.

Add 6-8 oz. of liquid to the shaker bottle– choosing from these

• distilled or filtered water
• coconut water
• prepared Bone Broth
• fresh made carrot juice (2/3 carrot to 1/3 celery or leafy greens)

Next add GI Cocktail Powder to the bottle (this prevents product from sticking to the sides of the jar by adding it second).  Cover and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.  Drink immediately. Thin product with more liquid if necessary to make a consistency you can drink easily and quickly.  Follow with 10-12 oz of liquid.  Some individuals who find chlorophyll liquid beneficial, may add it to the mix using 1 teaspoon to 1 oz.  Chlorella is also used by some for its chlorophyll content and if preferred, 1/3 teaspoon of this may be added in place of the chlorophyll liquid or in addition to it.  Some do not respond well to either of the these, for this reason, neither has been added to the product so that if preferred it can be added in as an optional. Another great addition to this Formula is to take at least 10 grams per day of Collagen Rx I,II,III.

Wash out shaker bottle immediately or the product will stick in the bottle making it difficult to clean. Store the shaker bottle without the lid and allow it to air dry. This keeps the bottle clean and bacteria free. Never put the lid on any water bottle, shaker jar, shaker bottle or mixing container when stored.

How and When To Take The Product

First thing soon upon rising, take on an empty stomach– 1 teaspoon of Organic Sulfur mixed in 2 oz. of warm-hot distilled water. Cool slightly and drink down quickly.  Follow with 10 oz. of distilled water.  Wait a full 30 minutes.

Next, again continuing on an empty stomach, take the GI Cocktail Mix as directed above following with another 10-12 oz. glass of liquid– now wait 1 hour after taking the product before eating food and 2 hours before taking any medication or vitamin or the GI Cocktail will absorb it and remove it. You may drink tea or coffee made with distilled water during this time so long as it is black and doesn’t contain cream, or sweetener.

Repeat this routine before the evening meal allowing the same time spread of one and one-half hours.  This is easy to accomplish if you take the product while preparing your meal.

The GI Cocktail can spread out in various doses if preferred, more than twice daily.  Any divided dosage is fine so long as the ideal dosage is reached which is 20-28 grams.

The Organic Sulfur of 1 teaspoon doses is taken 2 times per day.  If you are dividing the GI Cocktail into 3 daily doses, you still only take the Organic Sulfur 2 times per day.

Increasing and Adjusting the GI Cocktail Dosage

Start with a rounded teaspoon day 1.  So long as it sets well and everything is comfortable, you can increase and use the product twice daily, AM and before dinner.  When first starting this product, you may experience gas and bloating as your body adjusts.  This is normal and subsides within a few days.  If the gas or bloating is excessive with 1 dose, then reduce the dosage until you are comfortable and increase more gradually.  If necessary you can also initially take the product using 1 teaspoon every other day until gas and bloating diminish. Increase as possible and at your comfort level until reaching the ideal daily dosage.

If a 1 teaspoon dose is comfortable on day 1, then on day 2, move on to 2 doses–  one in the morning and the other before dinner. Continue increasing every few days until reaching the ideal daily dosage. Do not rush increasing the dosage.

The GI Cocktail ideal total daily dosage–  is about 20 to 28 grams per day or 1 oz.  Once you exceed 2 teaspoons per day, you may opt to spread out into 3 doses rather than 2. One very important note here is that adequate water intake is imperative to this process. Take either two doses of approximately 10 to 15 grams each or 3 doses of approximately 7-10 grams each.  Do not capsulize the product. This product must be hydrated as described in order to work properly.

DO NOT use the GI Cocktail or the Organic Sulfur without adequate water intake.  Your total water intake needs to meet or exceed 1/2 gallon per day.  The water must be either distilled or filtered.  If using filtered water, be sure it is also fluoride free with your system. In addition to the carbon filter set that comes with the Berkey, there is an optional filter set which is specific to removing heavy metals, arsenic, and fluoride.  The carbon filters remove all of the chlorine, but cannot remove heavy metals due the molecular size.  Organic Sulfur binds to both chlorine and fluoride which renders it toxic. This is very important to remember in order to achieve success in our process.  If you do not have a filtering system, and do not wish to purchase one, then simply mix your product with distilled water.  Standard filtered water can be consumed the rest of the day, but always mix your product appropriately.  Refer to the Post “Organic Sulfur DMSO2” for more information and instruction on taking this product.

Once 20-28 grams per day intake has been achieved (in divided doses) then continue taking the product for 8 months without interruption.  The product dosage can be decreased to 1 heaping teaspoon twice daily going forward if you wish to. Tissue replacement in the GI tract may take as long as a year, so do not be in a hurry to rush the process. After completing 8 months of use, No. 1 followed by No. 2, you can also try transitioning to organic 100% whole psyllium husk and continue with 20-28 grams per day of this product. Most find this very positive after the progress of 8 months. This is also less expensive and is needed on an ongoing basis.

Using a product like the GI Cocktail has been found to be as effective as taking certain medications including mesalamines. This is further enhanced when taking a cod liver oil supplement with meals (1000 IU 3 x).  The GI Cocktail requires water intake in order for the product to hydrate and support the GI tract. If you do not drink enough water, tea, Bone Broth, fresh carrot juice and coconut water each day, you can run the risk of forming an impaction or bowel obstruction. So drink plenty of fluids with the product and during the day.  The water when taking the Organic Sulfur enables the cellular exchange of oxygen. This is how it works and without water it is not effective.  If you take Organic Sulfur without adequate water, your body will find the water from your own system in order to make this exchange. In this sense it is a dehydrator. Water is part of the effect and prevents a burden to the kidneys from dehydration. Again, drink the fluids required and enjoy the health benefits that result.

*If you have strictures or a history of impactions, be sure to check with your doctor before using a fiber product, or any other product.  Understanding what you are prescribed and why is important to your improvement. 

The GI Cocktail is designed in two formulations;

• The GI COCKTAIL FOR DIVERTICULITIS–  A finer grind mucilage powder blended with herbs specific to the intestinal tract. This product is used for 4 months average or until a full use of 20-28 grams per day is comfortable and symptoms have become more stable.  It is used with the introduction of both Organic Sulfur and Bone Broth for supporting tissues.
• Alternative to the Formula that can be tried after 8 months (you may have to use the Formula but some can switch to whole psyllium husk daily)– organic 100% whole psyllium husk still using 20-28 grams per day ongoing in two divided doses AM and PM

Aside from the GI Cocktail, Organic Sulfur and Bone Broth are highly recommended as part of this program.  Try to consume not less than 1 pint of Bone Broth per day, but you can drink as much as 1-2 quarts per day for added benefits. Bone Broth works with the Sulfur to build and replace tissue. You can also benefit from taking either Black Seed (in your smoothie or ground into powder and added to your mix) or Black Cumin Seed Oil (capsules)

If you are not allergic to casein (a protein in cow’s milk and minimally in goat milk)  prepare the 24 Hour Yogurt and eat this 1-3 times per day between meals. This probiotic rich yogurt cannot be purchased in a store; it must be made by you and all you need is an oven with a light bulb.  See Post No. 28  for instructions.  If you are currently on antibiotics, this Yogurt is very helpful to preventing further infection.

If you have a history of gastrointestinal infection and a repeated use of antibiotics, the 24 Hour Yogurt will be very valuable to you in prevention.  The Herbal Antibiotic Formula is also available which can be used periodically which most find will quickly prevent an infection from setting in. This is a 7-14 day application which is not used ongoing but as a remedy.
