Herbal Formulas: Loose Leaf, Capsule, Tincture, or Glycerin?
Alcohol tinctures absorb much quicker than glycerins and the capsules. Alcohol gets through the cell membrane wall much quicker than glycerins. If you absolutely cannot tolerate the taste of alcohol tinctures, you can go to glycerins but they do involve digestion for metabolism and many people are malabsorbed to begin with. The digestive process with glycerins also delays the effects of the herbs compared to the almost immediate effects the alcohol tinctures bring. The delay of digestion from the glycerin tinctures are why many formulas like the Spasm Calm are only available in alchocol tinctures. You can put the alcohol tinctures into some fruit juice to help mask the taste.
​
Capsules are stronger than both alcohol tinctures and glycerins as you get the whole raw herb, but you need good digestion and absorption to truly maximize the benefits. Dr. Morse uses capsules to clean the GI Tract more than tinctures would. He will use lymphatic capsules to help clean the bowel wall on top of the Stomach & Bowel formula and the GI Broom (That’s how bad our bowels are nowadays).
​
Dr. Morse personally uses tinctures over capsules because he has a small esophagus and doesn't like swallowing so many capsules. I personally prefer capsules as I'm not a fan of having to measure the tincture amount every time I take a formula. It's much easier for me to pop a set amount of capsules in rather than have to measure and administer the tinctures.
With that said, alcohol and glycerin tinctures become an absolute necessity when it comes to children, seniors, or even pets. The glycerin tinctures should be safe for all pets in the recommended dosages. I'm not sure if pets would prefer the taste of the alcohol tinctures over the glycerins, but the small dosages of mere drops shouldn't make that big of a difference. Some pet owners are uneasy about any and all vegetable glycerin products for their pets, so opt for the alcohol tinctures if that is a concern.
Some people absolutely hate the taste of the alcohol tinctures and do not want to be bothered trying to mix the tinctures in food/drinks or even trying to burn off the alcohol content (which I don't recommend attempting) to make them tolerable.
When in doubt for any protocol, opt for capsules if swallowing is not an issue, even in cases of malabsorption.
The loose leaf herbs have the benefit of being made into teas as well as ground up into a fine powder that can be added to apple sauce or simply water. You can grind down the loose leaf herbal blends and put them into homemade apple sauce for children, a sweet potato mash, or even into your pets wet food mix.
The weakness of the loose leaf bulk teas is that you have to prepare the herbs yourself (via grinding/brewing) verses the other options that are ready to be ingested (but are more expensive).
It all comes down to time, budget, and your personal ability to ingest the different forms of herbal products.
The Cheapest Option for Herbs and Protocols: Tea Mixes
The absolute minimum for an herbal protocol: Bulk Tea Mixes.
This includes the Heal All Tea, Kidney Tea, Stomach Tea, and the 3 Lung Tea.
​
You can mix and match the tea into a custom blend or use the Heal All Tea if you could only use one formula due to cost.
​
You can use the bulk tea mixes to brew an herbal tea, or you can ingest the herbs whole by means of grinding them down with a coffee grinder/spice grinder.
Instructions on how to prepare the tea: Use 2 Teaspoons in a sauce pot, add enough water for your liking and boil for 7 minutes. Once the water starts bubbling, turn the heat off and move the pot off the heat source and let sit for 18-20 minutes for it to cool enough to drink.
Try to avoid overcooking the tea to prevent a bitter taste.
You can enjoy the tea hot or chill it for an ice tea (add lemon to your liking).
​
Another option for the tea blends: Use a spice grinder/coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle to grind down the tea blends and take 2 teaspoons of the powder and down it with water. You can apply this tactic with all 4 respective tea blends, mixing all 4 tea blends together for a comprehensive blend. That's 2 teaspoons of each of the 4 tea blends. Take that blend of 8 total teaspoons of ground down herbs 3 times a day with or without food.
This is the cheapest option for herbal formulas you are going to get as these tea blends have their respective tincture and capsule counterparts that cost triple per dosage what you would pay for just the bulk tea blends. You really are paying for the work of distilling the tinctures or encapsulating the herbal blends. It would be wise to avoid the rising costs of herbs and put in the work to process the herbs yourself (via grinding or brewing).
​
Useful tip: Use a coffee grinder/spice grinder to grind down the tea blend and brew some tea with that ground powder. You could drink down the powdered herb remnants in the brewed tea batch much easier compared to the unprocessed tea blend.
If money is the issue to getting well, grabbing each of the available tea blends in the online store is the cheapest way to get a wide assortment of herbs to cover all of your bases. You can get all 4 tea blends for under $150 with shipping and be set for a few months if you were to both brew and ingest the herbs whole (once ground down).
​
Second Cheapest Option: The Fab Four
​
The next step up from the Tea mixes is what's known as the "Fab Four":
-
Kidney formula (Any #)
-
Lymphatic System formula (Any #)
-
Endocrine Glands* or Adrenal Gland herbal formula
-
GI Renew formula (# dependent upon bowel movement frequency)
These 4 formulas encompass all the major areas of the body we want to touch.
We need to hit the kidneys, we need to hit the endocrine glands, we absolutely need to hit the bowels, and we definitely want to touch the enormous lymphatic system.
These formulas come in the simple form of either capsules or tinctures rather than using bulk bags of loose herbs that you would need to process down yourself.
*Note on Endocrine Glands*: This formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.
Substitutions and Additions for the Fab Four Protocol
Given the state of kidney weakness today, it may be advised to replace the Lymphatic System Formula (Any #) with the 3 Lung Formula. The 3 Lung Formula is a tumor and mucus buster that won't have the kidney complications that a lymphatic system formula would have for individuals that truly have weak kidneys.
The Endocrine Glands formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.
​
Dr. Morse has even argued that our society is so neurologically weak that we even have to include the Brain & Nerve formula and the Circulation formula* to the Fab Four 4 ensemble. This does bring the total number of formulas up to 6, but it demonstrates the level of human degeneration that we are dealing with today. These 6 formulas would constitute the most comprehensive protocol for the cheapest amount of money possible. You can always add any of the bulk tea mixes like the Heal-All Tea with this protocol.
​
With all of these considerations, let's assemble the upgraded Fab Four protocol (what I call the "Sacred 6"):
-
Kidney Formula (Any #)
-
GI Renew (# dependent upon bowel movement frequency) or Heal All Capsules
-
Endocrine Glands or Adrenal Gland Formula
-
Lymphatic System Formula (Any #) or 3 Lung Formula
-
Circulation Formula*
-
Brain & Nerve Formula
​
*Note on Endocrine Support*: This formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.
​
*Note on Circulation formula*: If you have tumors, cysts, polyps, or lipomas, please refrain from this formula until you work with a qualified Detox Specialist.
​
The 14 Week Protocol
​
Now let's step it up to what Dr. Morse's clinic prescribes to the vast majority of cases as a baseline: The 14 Week Protocol.
The protocol includes 14 weeks of using the following herbal formulas simultaneously:
-
2 Kidney formulas (1 capsule, 1 tincture)
-
2 Lymphatic formulas (1 capsule, 1 tincture)
-
Endocrine Glands*
-
GI Renew (# dependent upon bowel movement frequency)
-
Liver/Gallbladder
-
Parasite M
-
Parasite G
-
Circulation*
-
Brain & Nerve
Of course, the Detox Specialists in his clinic will recommend additional formulas and glandulars depending upon the specific individual, but this 14 week protocol is one that most people can do without the need and expense of speaking to a Detox Specialist. It's a way for you to get started on a level that is more intense and effective than merely taking the Heal All Tea blend and/or the Fab Four. If you feel like you have skin issues, a heart issue, or even just want to clean the blood as some random examples of health issues, you can always add in a skin, heart or blood formula to your protocol without the need to consult a Detox Specialist or connect with Dr. Morse's clinic. The sky is the limit in your journey and you're only limited by time and budget.
​
This protocol works to hit the most important tissues of the body. The intelligence of this protocol is that it incorporates a parasite cleanse (Parasite M & G formulas) while also hitting the kidneys and lymphatic system with 2 different formulas each. Dr. Morse's 14 week protocols used to not incorporate the Brain & Nerve and Circulation formulas, but his clinic had noticed such a huge trend in neurological weakness and acidosis in the head that now we HAVE to incorporate these formulas to bring people out of the jaws of death.
You only need to use 2 bottles of Parasite G during the protocol. Take the Parasite G formula 4 times a day for 6 capsules each until you finish both bottles. You may have a crawler try to come out of you when you're using the restroom so just be prepared! You can use Parasite M for much longer than the 14 weeks given the amount of fungal overloads people are hosting in their bodies (toenail fungus, oral thrush, moles, severe itching, starch and cheese cravings).
*Note on Endocrine Glands*: This formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.
​
*Note on Circulation formula*: If you have tumors, cysts, polyps, or lipomas, please refrain from this formula until you work with a qualified Detox Specialist.
Substitutions for the 14 Week Protocol
Dr. Morse's clinic has also noticed such a greater degree in kidney and adrenal weakness over the years with clients that they are even holding off on the lymphatic formulas for some cases. When you're hitting the lymph system and your kidneys are not functioning optimally, it's like everyone in a crowded theater is running to the exit doors. The lymphatic formulas may pull on the kidneys a little too much, especially given the kidney genetics we see today in younger generations. This could lead to one's tumors growing since the kidneys are not opening to an acceptable level yet and we're moving lymph into a closed door.
​
To remedy this, you could go down to just 1 lymphatic formula (any #). If we are dealing with a severe case, then it would be wise to hold off on the lymphatic formula and focus strictly on kidney formulas and use the 3 Lung Formula. One takeaway from Dr. Morse's Level 2 course was the use of the 3 Lung formula in place of the lymphatic formula. The 3 lung formula isn't just for the lungs, but it's titled as such since so many people have mucus and congestion obstructing their lung function, and this formula works wonders for lung congestion. The formula is a tumor buster without having the demand on the kidneys that the traditional lymphatic formulas have. You can give the 3 lung formula to practically any case, whether they have tumors or not, and you won't have the blowback of the lymphatic formulas.
I will always add the 3 Lung Formula to any protocol as a staple if budget permits.
​
Dr. Morse has also mentioned that once a client has been on the GI Renew #1 formula for a while, you can have them move onto the Heal All Capsules formula as a replacement. These will move lymph in the bowel wall to a greater extent than the GI Renew #1 formula does. This is not necessary but it is an option to implement.
*Note on Endocrine Glands*: This formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.

​
Notes on the First 2 Months of the 4 Month Protocol
The logic with this extensive protocol for the first 2 months is that of a shotgun approach where we want to hit everything and then some. We are making sure to hit the kidneys with multiple formulas while simultaneously being cautious and not throwing in a lymphatic formula given how seriously poor most people's kidneys are. You could absolutely throw in a lymphatic formula or two into this protocol starting out, but the 3 Lung formula is a great alternative without the potential complications that the traditional lymphatic formulas would have. It all comes back to how locked are the doors of the kidneys for you? We do not want to have your lymph hit your locked kidneys and create a blowback on your other tissues.
Dr. Morse always recommends going on a parasite cleanse at least once a year. We absolutely want to go for a parasite kill for every client and that's what the Parasite M and G are for. You can stay on Parasite M for the entire 4 months, but you only need to finish 2 bottles of the Parasite G to see whether you need to continue on it or not. Take 6 capsules of the Parasite G formula 4-5 times a day until you finish 2 bottles. If you see no large bugs in your stools after finishing 2 bottles, then you can drop it from the protocol.
One goal to have if you are starting with a GI renew formula that is #2 or #3 (or larger) is to try to naturally get yourself on a lower numbered formula until you get to formula #1. If the diet and protocols are helping you to have regular bowel movements, then don't be afraid to instantly drop down a level in the formula and proceed from there on that formula going forward.
The vast majority of people have severe adrenal and parathyroid weaknesses, so it's almost mandatory to get most people on glandulars* for those respective tissues. We only want to be on glandulars for a short duration of time as we don't want to overstimulate these glands. The logic is to try to stimulate these glands enough to wake them from their eternal slumber. The adrenal glands can tolerate much more stimulation than the parathyroid glands so we can stay on those glandulars much longer. We still want to take in adrenal gland herbs via the Endocrine Glands or Adrenal Gland herbal formulas to further help these glands in combination with the glandulars. We are pulling all the stops here to get your glands turned on!
*Note that glandulars are not vegan.*
*Note on Circulation formula*: If you have tumors, cysts, polyps, or lipomas, please refrain from this formula until you work with a qualified Detox Specialist.
*Note on Endocrine Glands*: This formula has herbs that will enhance the thyroid. If you have hyperthyroid issues, please avoid this formula and use the Adrenal gland formula instead.
*Note on Licorice root*: Do not use if you have high blood pressure. Get on the raw fruits and herbs and see if your blood pressure naturally drops down after removing all of the swelling and inflammation in your kidneys and adrenals. You may drop down to the 90s and 100s for your systolic, depending upon your genetics. It is highly recommended to only use this formula while working with a qualified Detox Specialist.

​
Notes on the Last 2 Months of the 4 Month Protocol
We still want to be hitting those kidneys with 3+ formulas of different formulas and via a split of both capsule and tincture forms.
The dosage of the adrenal glandular can stay at 400mg or drop down to 200mg depending upon how the client feels. If they're feeling a little oversaturated, tense, or jittery, then it's time to drop down to the 200 mg dosage or even drop the glandular altogether if they feel like their glands are functioning. Always go by feel, you'll know when enough is enough with the adrenal glandulars.
We absolutely want to still be using the adrenal gland herbal formula and/or endocrine glands formulas throughout the duration of this protocol.
If the bowel frequency is normalizing within the first 2 months, then definitely drop down whatever number formula you are on with the GI Renew formula until you are on formula #1. We want your bowel movement frequency to naturally be 2-3 per day on average when on high fruits. If you're regular, then you can drop the GI Renew #1 formula and take the Heal All capsules instead moving forward.
​
If everything is going well and you've been raw for the last 2+ months, then I highly recommend adding in a Lymphatic System formula or two (Any #). Once you've been raw for longer than 4 months and have seriously dug deep into Detox, you can even add a second or third formula to kick things up a notch. You could theoretically throw in a Lymphatic System formula (any #) during your first 2 months, but it really depends upon your individual case and level of kidney weakness. The 3 Lung Formula is always a great substitute to any Lymphatic herbal formula. You could even jump right into 2 lymphatic formulas from the start of the protocol, but I would highly recommend doing so under the supervision of a qualified Detox Specialist that could look at your iris photos and assess you beforehand.
*Note that glandulars are not vegan.*
