Know What a Tonic Is?

A Short Story:

A tense gentleman had an OM-FREE treatment for about 20 minutes at one of the first expos I ever worked, in the early 1990's. When he returned to the Km Herbal Tonic booth where he was working, his wife suggested that he document any change in his aura by taking a picture. He had already had a picture taken before his session so soon he had before and after OM-FREE versions. The change was amazing, and I knew it was the combination of OM-FREE and Km that made the difference. I have now been taking Km for years - one secret to being able to work 14-hour days or longer in high energy. I sip a bit of Km between clients, and keep right on truckin'.

A Tonic Strengthens…

Many organs and tissues a little at a time, simultaneously, in natural ways, to build the strength and function. It's like a shotgun in that it affects many systems at once, and won't weaken anything.

In contrast, a medicinal is like a rifle that seeks to relieve one health symptom as quickly as possible, even by suppressing pain and discomfort. Problem is, it may have various weakening counter-indications.

A tonic's natural strengthening process may take several days, weeks or months to become apparent, because there is a lot of rebuilding to do. If you don't feel its effects right away, continue for at least three months. In contrast, one feels the effects of a medicinal almost immediately.

A tonic may also taste bad at first, because its first priority is to support the body's release of toxins. Toxins don't taste good when they go into the bloodstream for elimination from the body. Many people blame the tonic for tasting poorly, but it's important to continue taking it, even if in lesser amount. Once the toxins are gone, you enjoy the taste more.

My favorite tonic is Km, with 14 herbs that have been used for thousands of years. Its formula was developed in Austria in the early 1920's and hasn't been changed.

Another Story:

Km was developed by an Austrian named Karl Jurack, who had hiked into the Alps Mountains one day, and was high on a cliff when his physical energy left him. For a time, he was physically unable to move, and probably scared as could be. When he returned to safety, he worked for a year to develop a combination of herbs to drink, because he didn't want that to happen again!

At first, he made relatively small batches, give it to friends. About nine decades after Km was developed, it is available commercially, and more than 20 million bottles have been sold. It is available as a Liquid Tonic, in Caps, and as a Skin Lotion!

The minerals in Km are in organic, plant form. The human body assimilates what it needs and excretes what it does not. No therapeutic claim is made for Km or any herb in it. See your physician if you are ill.
