Dr. Miller’s Holy Tea

Detoxify, lose weight and restore balance to your body by simply drinking tea.

Are you searching for a gentle way to eliminate toxins and improve your overall health? Do you experience pain and discomfort from divertivulitis, colitis or Crohn’s disease?  Dr. Miller’s Holy Tea can help you feel better and even lose weight.

This unique blend of five herbs was formulated by Dr. Bill Miller, B.S., M.S., PhD, who was a nutrition consultant for over 20 years. Dr. Miller was clear that true health begins in the gut and observed that most of his clients had serious gut issues, leading to diabetes, high blood pressure and colon issues, such as divertivulitis, colitis, Chrohn’s disease and even colon cancer. He got to work researching various herbs that would address most of his clients’ serious health issues and, as a result, started selling his Holy Tea. The results were beyond his expectations with most of his clients getting off their medications, losing weight, experiencing radiant health and thriving.

After using his herbal blend successfully in two clinics and collecting the testimonials of thousands of satisfied customers, he decided to devote his last 20 years to making up ‘Holy Tea’ bags and selling them with his wife.

The following FIVE herbs are in ‘Holy Tea’:

Persimmon Leaf

Botanically classified as Diospyros kaki, persimmon trees are predominately grown in Asia. The leaves are used in traditional medicine to help reduce symptoms of inflammation and boost immunity. They have traditionally been used as a phytomedicine, in health beverages to treat cardiovascular and respiratory disease and to promote maternal health. In particular, polysaccharides from persimmon are known to have anti-coagulant, antioxidant, and immune-stimulatory activities. Persimmon leaves are high in fiber, vitamin C, amino acids, magnesium, and contain tannins which help digestion. Rich in polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, persimmon leaves also contain numerous bioactive compounds such as phenols, tannins, flavonoid oligomers, natural acids, ascorbic acid, caffeine and chlorophyll. Flavonoids in Persimmon leaf include kaempferol, quercetin, and catechin demonstrating robust antioxidant activities and associated with maintaining healthy blood pressure. The polyphenols in Persimmon leaf have been studied extensively due to their anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. The major polyphenols in “Diospyros kaki” leaf are proanthocyanidins, which have vaso-relaxant and anti-hypertensive effects. Several of these components in Persimmon leaf is the reason the leaves are well-known for the following properties — anti-allergic, antibacterial, reducing blood pressure, and scavenging free radicals. It is included in Holy Tea primarily for its blood purifying properties and aid in eliminating allergies and seasonal hay fever, eliminating the need for antihistamines

Malva Leaf or Chinese Mallow

Botanically classified as Malva verticillata, the leaves and seeds contain mucilage, polysaccharides and flavonoids. Mucilage is made up of complex carbohydrates which, along with flavonoids and anthocyanidins, give Malva its ability to sooth irritated skin and body tissues. In herbal medicine it is considered a demulcent which aids in eliminating mild inflammation.

Mallow has been used as a food and medicine for over 2,000 years. It was considered helpful as an anti-inflammatory agent for the skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. The Mallow leaves are used as a tea for dry cough and sore throats, or as a topical, gelatinous application for dermatitis. Mallow is also used for treating renal disorders, retention of fluids, diarrhea and frequent thirst. For people with whooping cough, the root is used to make them vomit. The leaves and stems have digestive properties and are given to women in late pregnancy.

According to test tube studies reported by Providence Health Services, one carbohydrate in mallow was shown to inhibit the complement cascade. The complement cascade has been implicated in autoimmune disorders and cases of chronic inflammation. The studies also showed that the seeds contain a polysaccharide which stimulates white blood cells. In another test tube study, a crude powder of the seeds was shown to have anticancer effects. More research is presently being done.

Holy Thistle (Milk Thistle)

Botanically classified as Carduus marianus but also as Silybum marianum, Milk Thistle has been a well-known remedy among herbalists for all ailments related to the gallbladder and liver. It has been widely cultivated for its food value and now grows wild throughout the warmer areas of the world. Like other thistles, it will spread rapidly and cover vast fields, preferring sunny well-drained soil. Milk thistle gets its species name of “marianum” from an eastern European myth about the white streaks in its dark green leaves. The story goes that Mary was collecting herbs while nursing the baby Jesus, and spilled milk on its leaves.

Milk thistle seed has been used for centuries by herbalists to restore proper liver function, but has only recently been revived by modern-day herbalists and naturopaths. Milk thistle seed has unique properties that not only protect liver cells, but can actually regenerate damaged liver tissue. In one European test in the 1970s, 60 patients suffering from severe amanita muscaria mushroom poisoning were treated with a special extract of milk thistle. They all survived when the normal death rate would have been 30 to 40 percent. In other studies, and in clinical practice in the U.S., patients with usually irreversible cirrhosis of the liver have been returned to relative health with milk thistle. Milk thistle is likewise helpful in cases of hepatitis, for which there is presently no other effective treatment. Silymarin, the chief constituent of milk thistle, is currently listed in the Merck Index, the bible of conventional medicines in the U.S., as a protectant for the liver.

Milk thistle seed is also one of the only known substances that can protect the liver against damage by some environmental pollutants (think fluoride, chlorine, glyphosate, etc.). It is important to realize that common allergies are the result of impaired liver function since the liver is the source of natural antihistamines in the body and hayfever and pollen allergies are a sure sign of an impaired liver.

Dr. Richard Schulze considers milk thistle seed the most important ingredient in his liver/gallbladder and anti-parasite formula. In the May, 2002 edition of his newsletter, “Get Well!” Dr. Schulze stated the following: “The silymarin from milk thistle actually binds to and coats the liver cells and protects them from damage, like a protective plastic shield. It protects the liver cells and the liver from any further damage due to toxic poisons and inflammation. This was discovered by many medical doctors quite by accident when researching why people who ingested lethal doses of deadly poisons weren’t affected and didn’t get sick. The doctors discovered that these same people ingested milk thistle seeds prior to ingesting the poisons, and it protected them.”

For recovering alcoholics, former drug users, workers exposed to occupational chemicals, people taking prescription medicines, or living in heavily polluted cities, milk thistle may be a valuable food and medicine. Milk thistle seeds have no known toxicity:  Mice love these seeds as a food and even thrive on them.

Marshmallow Leaf and Root

Botanically known as Althaea officinalis, Marshmallow has a very long history in folk medicine that goes back to ancient Greek and Egyptian times. Over 2,800 years ago, references to this plant were made in Homer’s “Iliad,” since at the time the mucilagenous properties of the plant were known to effectively treat coughs, sore throats and congestion.

Today, this plant is still used by holistic practitioners in many of the same ways it was thousands of years ago, since within the plant lay powerful active ingredients that help break up mucus, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria naturally.

Following are some of the uses for Marshmallow leaf and root:

*dry coughs and colds

*dry mouth and low saliva production

*bacterial infections, including bladder infections, urinary tract infections and respiratory infections

*bronchitis and tonsillitis

*joint pain caused by swelling/inflammation

*inflammation of the lining of the stomach

*digestive issues, including diarrhea, stomach ulcers, constipation

*inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut syndrome and autoimmune disorders

*burns, wounds, insect bites or poultices on the skin

*eczema and dermatitis of the skin

*water retention, bloating and PMS

According to a 2020 in vitro study published in Frontiers in Pharmacology, its antitussive properties and mucilage abilities allow it to decrease inflammation and irritation of the throat, reduce swelling in the lymph nodes, speed up healing time and reduce aggravating dry coughing. It also tends to have immediate effects due to forming a protective film on the inflamed mucosa.

Research suggests that marshmallow is an effective way to help treat certain digestive disorders, including leaky gut syndrome, which develops when particles leak outside tiny openings in the gut lining, allowing them to enter the bloodstream where they can trigger autoimmune reactions.

Marshmallow helps restore integrity of the gut lining by forming a protective layer around small junctions, as shown in research on rats. In addition, it seems to be beneficial for other forms of inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

 Blessed Thistle  

Botanically classified as Cnicus benedictus, Blessed thistle contains certain compounds like cnicin and polyacetylene that are known to have antimicrobial properties. Some studies suggest that Blessed thistle is effective in neutralizing harmful bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, E. Coli, and Staphylococcus aureus.

One of the main properties of this plant is as a cholagogue, an herb that stimulates the production and flow of bile the liver, effectively preventing the formation of gallstones.

Generations have used blessed thistle as a digestive tonic. It has been used to treat different digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and indigestion. Blessed Thistle also has diuretic properties and has been used to treat urinary tract infections. This is due to it’s ability to stimulate the production and flow of urine out of the body further aiding in the detoxification process.

*+*+*+

If you are trying Holy Tea for the first time, it is important to adjust how much you take on a daily basis based upon the foods and liquids you are consuming so that you are easily evacuating 2-3 bowel movements a day. I find the tea quite potent and have to adjust my dose to avoid diarrhea, especially when consuming more raw foods in the spring and summer months. But a few other people have tried this tea and have not had this issue due to chronic constipation. Although I have suggested drinking 3-6 oz. with meals, you can also add a specified amount to your favorite hydrating natural beverage and drink throughout the day. As for me, I find myself simply drinking it in the evening and with a drink I put by my bedside that is finished in the morning.

I love some of the testimonials on this product:

“I have been drinking Dr. Miller’s Holy Tea for almost 5 years. It has helped me lose over 50 pounds and keep it off, and keep me healthier than I had been for 40 years. I can now travel and enjoy my retirement, where before I did not feel well enough to do so”

“I am amazed by the results of the Holy Tea for both me and friends I have told about it. One friend of mine, who is 70 years old, has had terrible migraines for the past 10 years, which were about to drive him crazy. After a couple of months drinking Dr. Miller’s Tea, he no longer has the migraines. Some of the results I see with the Holy Tea just baffle me”
