Dr. Christopher's Blood Stream Formula is legendary for cleaning up toxic conditions of the blood. Red clover blossoms have quite a bit of traditional use for cancerous conditions, and they are the star of this show. The Blood Stream Syrup is really just a larger version of the Extract, and it's 20% off right now, too! So I'll include it below.
We usually don't use this formula until we have already taken the Lower Bowel, Kidney, and Liver & Gallbladder Formulas for several weeks. This ensures that the elimination pathways are "open" so that when we cleanse the blood, the junk flushes out safely.
There was a time that I used this formula without all the others, though. When my 4th baby was about a month old, I came down with Mastitis. Now, I'm one of those lucky few that Ina May Gaskin talks about in her book, the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, who get aggressive systemic mastitis with very little warning. I have learned to treat it myself with poke root tincture and other helps (I've got a PDF guide on Herbal Breastfeeding Aids coming out soon!), but this particular time I was out of my trusty tincture and starting to feel quite scared (if you've ever had systemic mastitis, you know the fear and how quickly it gets very, very bad). After we took it to the Lord in prayer, I was reminded that I had a batch of homemade Blood Stream Formula in the cold cupboard under my bed. Lo and behold, poke root is a key ingredient in this formula. I began taking it and very quickly felt better as the infection was cleaned up in my milk ducts and my bloodstream.
Dr. Christopher famously used this formula with his patients who had Rh incompatibility, to successfully avoid the need of risky blood transfusions for mom and baby immediately after birth.
