FOR RESOLVING BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD TOXICITY

General Description

Pinella – Brain & Nerve Cleanse is an herbal extract made from Pimpinella anisum. It has been used by indigenous groups for hundreds of years. Pinella is an integral component of a Lyme disease protocol developed by William Lee Cowden, MD. Dr. Cowden and other health care professionals report that it is very effective in eliminating both man-made toxins and biotoxins from the brain, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Both patients and health care professionals also report that many times there is a significant reduction in brain fog, even after only one dose.
