Burdock for Animals - extract

Product Narrative, T. S. Fox, Ph.D.

Burdock is widely used as a food in Asia and I am increasingly seeing the fresh root in organic sections of supermarkets in the U.S.

Burdock is antimicrobial, antitumor, antipyretic, diuretic and diaphoretic. It is the most prominent active ingredient in our popular Wound Balm for Animals. Burdock is the key ingredient in the well known Hoxsey formula.

Burdock is indicated for fever; fluid retention; dermatitis and many other microbial infections. Burdock is herpes active in-vivo and HIV 1 active in-vitro.

Dosage recommended is 0.5 cc per 50 pounds weight twice daily.

Contact dermatitis sometimes occurs. Burdock is generally considered a safe and edible plant.

DISCLAIMER

We did not invent botanical medicines and we do not recommend that the use of botanical medicines should be undertaken on the strength of our restatement of historical usage and documented research.

We do restate well documented traditional efficacy and the results of ongoing research. Personal experience is included where deemed appropriate.

Regardless of the merits of any plant medicine, side effects do sometimes occur. These may be real or imagined. Always seek the counsel and advice of qualified medical professionals and use caution with any medication, plant derived or otherwise. We do not accept responsibility for the use or misuse of any product put forth or any information provided.

NOTES

  1. Oral dosages as given are for carnivores by body weight. It is advised to dose low initially and adjust upwards as the circumstances direct.
  2. Do not scale up dosages for large herbivores by their weight! Large herbivores, such as cattle or horses, usually require approximately twice the dosage of a 200 lb. carnivore.
