We are made of tubes. To help keep them open, clean and to maintain good elimination, add 1  to 2  tbsps of psyllium husk powder daily – hour after dinner – to juices, herbal teas and even the Bragg Vinegar Drink. Another way to guard against clogged tubes daily is add 1 to 2 tbsps soy lecithin granules (fat emulsifier-melts like butter) over potatoes, veggies, soups and to juices, etc. Also take one cayenne capsule (40,000 HU) daily with a meal. Take 50 to 100 mgs regular-released niacin (B-3) with one meal daily to help cleanse and open the cardiovascular system, also improves memory. Skin flushing may occur; don’t worry about this as it shows it’s working! After cholesterol level reaches 180 or lower, then only take niacin twice weekly.
