Herbal Life-Extension Formula (HLEF) FAQ

Q1: Are ingredients of the vegetable soup recipe measured in fluid ounces or real weights?

A1: Dr. Antonia Martinez Director of the Healing Spirit said that their recipe uses the real weights and not the fluid ounces as in other food recipes.

Q2: Do people using the Vegetable Soup have side effects or reactions?

A2 : Depending on individual bodies, some people using the Vegetable Soup could have side effects/reactions. Reactions are classified in 2 categories:

Natural Reaction: Ingredients in the Vegetable soup have lots of medicinal effects and contain chemicals that are working on human cells to make them better and stronger, and in the same time purify and cleanse blood stream to push out LDL (bad cholesterol) and fat. Reactions could be itches on the skin, itches around eyes, blurring eyes but these reactions will go away in a few days. If reactions persist stop the HLEF for a few weeks and start again.

Patient or user mistakes Mistakes could be ranging from:

  • (1) using the wrong kind of ingredients especially the Chinese mushrooms instead of the Japanese Shiitakes.
  • (2) the proportion of vegetables making the soup is not followed closely.
  • (3) using wrong type of saucepan. Must use stainless steel saucepan to cook.
  • (4) vegetable soup left outside in room temperature more than 6 hours can turn out to have bad smelling or color changes to green or white. Throw it away at once. Vegetable Soup should be stored in glass container and refrigerated.
  • (5) drinking the Vegetable Soup and the Brown Rice solution together or in the same time. People are reporting serious reactions when taking those two solutions in the same time. Must drink them separately with half-hour or one hour apart.

Q3: How much vegetable soup can one consume a day?

A3: For:
  • Diabetes take 600 cc of Brown rice (BR) solution in the morning and 400 cc of Vegetable Soup (VS) in the afternoon.
  • Heart problem: 300 cc of BR and 600 cc of VS
  • Gall stones: 600 cc of BR and 600 cc of VS.
  • Other diseases: About 600 cc (2.5 cups) of VS a day divided in 3 rations before meals .

    IMPORTANT NOTE

    DO NOT DRINK Vegetable Soup and Brown Rice Solution in the same time. The interval needed between consumption of BR and VS must be at least 30 minutes or 1 hour apart to be safe.

    Q4: Where can I buy the HLEF ingredients?

    A4: In most oriental stores especially Korean and Japanese. Fresh burdock roots (called GOBO) are sold from $3.99/lb to $7.99/lb depending on demand and scarcity. Shiitake mushrooms can be found easier than burdock roots but make sure you buy the products of Japan. White daicon and carrots can be found everywhere. If the daicon green leaves are hard to find (usually daicon are sold with leaves cut off), ask the grocers to save for you or order them for you.

    If you cannot find fresh burdock roots in your area, you might have to go to Natural Health Foods stores, Wild Oats or Vitamin Cottage stores to buy dried burdock roots which are pricier than the fresh ones since 5 pounds of fresh burdock roots would make only 1 pound of dried burdock.
