This formula contains anti-submicroscopic infective agents based on the effective use of American (Leptotoenia) and Brazilian (Pau D’Arco) Indian herbal traditions. Pau D'Arco strengthens the immune system and can be used as an expectorant. Leptotoenia oil works as a bronchial, intestinal, and urinary antiseptic and is one of nature's most potent infection fighters. WARNING: When using any anti-infective formula (#3, #4, ATAK, GOLD, and/or VIVI), it is best to continue their use for two full weeks after all symptoms and signs of infection have been eliminated. This will help strengthen the body and minimize the chance of the return of a low-grade infection. Please be aware that lomatium is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while nursing, as it can lead to a "die-off" of pathogens that might be too intense for some individuals to handle. Overdosing may result in a mild skin rash resembling hives caused by viral and bacterial die-offs and epigenetic factors. If you develop a rash, discontinue the use of VIVI until it clears up. Taking a soaking bath with 2 lbs. of Epsom salts and 2 lbs. of baking soda can help alleviate the rash. After the rash has disappeared, most individuals can resume taking lomatium, as their bodies will have adjusted to it, and the herb can provide lifelong benefits. DO NOT USE DURING PREGNANCY: this product contains Leptotoenia (Lomatium Dissecutim). In rare cases, a rash may develop as a result of toxin elimination. Soaking in a baking soda bath will normally reduce this condition; repeat as needed. THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NUTS.
