Common Sense™ Products are designed especially for the person on the move who has no time for measuring, boiling, counting, etc. At CSP, we believe that optimal health is best reached by going back to our heritage, the herbs. Herbs are as old as man, benefiting everyone from the fetus to the grave. Every species in the animal kingdom knows this. When an animal is sick it goes to the original pharmacy, “Creation”. Cleansing is the only way to have a healthy body-there are no shortcuts. Overweight and underweight are both signs of being ill. More than anything, Common Sense™ Products are designed to cleanse the body, in particular, the colon. If we do not clean the colon we will pay the solemn price of bad health and die a painful death. We curse and blame God for the awful fate that has befallen us, when in fact, we are the ones who brought bad health upon ourselves by years of bad habits and unhealthy eating. When the processed food makes us sick, we’ve been taught to take drugs that will temporarily bury the symptoms and further complicate the problem. If you have a desire to be well, then it is up to you, as an adult, to take action. Your health is your responsibility, not the doctor’s, not your parents, nor your children’s. If you are ready to take full responsibility for your health, then you are ready for Common Sense™ Products. At CSP, we like to inform you about the uses of herbs, because no tool is more essential than having herbal knowledge. It will help you to make your own decision as to what herbs to take. While we will explain the historical uses of the herbs found in Common Sense™ Products, it is important that you do a lot of research of your own, don’t just take anyone’s word for it, not even ours. Always keep in mind, there are no side effects to herbs. There are no labels that read “Keep Out of Reach of Children,” therefore, herbs are gentle enough for child consumption. A single herb does many jobs, but we will be explaining only a few reasons why it is used in Common Sense™ Products. Without further ado, let us give you a brief synopsis of the herbs found in Common Sense™ Products. Sincerely, Tim and Evitta Morrow Founders 4 5 SUPERLAX Colon Cleanser Natural Herbal Laxative Relieves Bloating, Gas & Constipation Digestive System Support Alleviates Acid Reflux Helps Prevent Appendicitis TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL RESULTS, USE IN COMBINATION WITH COMMON SENSE ™ “HERBAL WEIGHT CONTROL & MAINTENANCE PROGRAM”. Common Sense™ “SuperLax” is a very strong colon cleanser and protector. It will help to overcome even the toughest problems with the bowel, including acid reflux. It is extra helpful when you are on a fast. It is non-habit forming. This combination includes the following ingredients: SENNA LEAVES is the strongest herbal laxative for the hard-to-move person. In some people it will cause griping, which is why we have put it in combination with Psyllium and Slippery Elm. It is excellent for bad breath and will also help to expel worms (parasites). CASCARA SAGRADA BARK is the bark of a tree. Its name means “sacred covering” and it is the world’s most intelligent herbal laxative. It works via the liver and gallbladder and is non-habitforming. The bitter gall of the gallbladder is the detergent for the colon; Cascara Sagrada simply strengthens the gallbladder. The gallbladder releases the bile through the small intestines and enters the colon, giving the colon its peristalsis action, which begins moving the waste off the colon wall. It may have been years since the colon has had any peristalsis movement; therefore, you may feel some griping when you first start taking Cascara Sagrada but it will subside shortly. SLIPPERY ELM BARK is one of the most important herbs in Common Sense™ “SuperLax” because it provides a protective coating for the colon wall. The colon wall is where most of our health troubles begin, because when there is no protection, the waste from the colon leaks directly into the bloodstream. Therefore, Slippery Elm may be referred to as “nature’s acidophilus”. It also serves as an aid to digestion, ulcers, and sensitive stomachs. FENNEL SEED is a great appetite suppressant as well as an aromatic herb used for cooking. We use it in Common Sense™ “SuperLax” for its ability to dispel gas as the colon is cleansed. It is also good for gout, cramps, obesity, joint pains, food poisoning, and stomach problems (of all kinds). It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. ~unknown 5 6 PSYLLIUM HUSK is the fiber/bulking agent that causes the sweeping effect off the walls, floor and ceiling of the colon. It is not an herbal laxative of itself. It is to be used in conjunction with an herbal laxative. ACIDOPHILUS BIFIDUS is a man-made (all organic materials) protective coating for the colon wall that is not made with any milk products, sugar, or artificial coloring. It also helps to prevent yeast infections. Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose (plant fiber), Croscarmellose Sodium (plant fiber), Gum Acacia (plant fiber), Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (plant fiber), Calcium Sulfate, Stearic Acid (vegetable), Magnesium Stearate (vegetable), Dicalcium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide (powder silica).

Common Sense™ “PMS” is formulated with some of God’s greatest female herbs to take complete care of this unnecessary problem. Since the female population in this country suffers badly from Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (P.M.S.), we at CSP have gone back to the original pharmacy. These herbs should be taken by every female, no matter what age (before puberty, after menopause, and all ages in between). This combination includes the following ingredients: BAYBERRY ROOT contains high amounts of Vitamin C, which provides healing powers.

It speeds up the childbirth process and helps dispel afterbirth. It is also good for the liver and spleen. It is used in Common Sense™ “P.M.S” because of its ability to stop the cramps of the menses. BLUE COHOSH ROOT is a female hormone, and like all hormonal herbs, it has all the elements that are needed (progesterone, estrogen, etc.), because it is a living substance as is the body. The body only takes from the herb what it needs, the rest goes out in the waste. Blue Cohosh is also a great nervine which helps relax tension in the uterus which causes cramps. CAYENNE PEPPER (Capsicum) is thought to be the world’s greatest herb. No herbal combination is complete without it, because it is a catalyst for all herbs. Capsicum circulates blood to the extremities (hands, head and feet) which makes wounds heal faster. It will stop internal and external bleeding, shock, heart attacks, strokes, ulcers, and a host of other maladies. It helps the ulcerated uterus and stops or starts the menstrual flow. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an irritant, but is a soothing herb. One learned person does more harm to Satan than a thousand ignorant worshippers. 8 ~ unknown 9 CASCARA SAGRADA BARK is the bark of a tree. Its name means “sacred covering” and is the world’s most intelligent herbal laxative. It is the most important herb in the Common Sense™ “P.M.S.” because to some degree, all “P.M.S”. is caused by constipation. It works via the liver and gallbladder and is non-habit-forming. The bitter gall of the gallbladder is the detergent for the colon; Cascara Sagrada simply strengthens the gallbladder. The gallbladder releases the bile through the small intestines and enters the colon, giving the colon its peristalsis action, which begins moving the waste off the colon wall. It may have been years since the colon has had any peristalsis movement; therefore, you may feel some griping when you first start taking Cascara Sagrada, but it will subside shortly.

Common Sense™ "Silver Sol-Defense" (Colloidal Silver) acts as a stimulant and disables an enzyme that helps promote actions inside cells. By disabling the enzyme, it ensures the destruction of pathogens and will stop them from using the body's own cells as vehicles for replication. Silver is not consumed in the process allowing it to keep working again and again. The enzyme that silver destroys is required by anaerobic bacteria (unfriendly bacteria), viruses, yeast and molds. Silver creates an environment that makes it impossible for pathogens to survive and multiply. Silver is well-known and many claim it to be effective against every virus and illness without ever reacting dangerously with other medications. Scientific studies have shown that pure silver kills the super-bacteria that evolve after conventional disinfecting agents have killed the weak strains of bacteria and it does it quickly. Since it is not designed to combat a specific pathogen but rather work against the very nature of their life cycles, it is an effective preventative agent against all illnesses caused by all pathogens including future mutations. There is no known disease-causing organism that can live even in the presence of traces of colloidal silver. Laboratory tests show that anaerobic bacteria, virus, and fungus organisms are all killed within minutes of contact. Parasites are also killed while still in their egg stage. Colloidal Silver is effective against infections, colds, influenza, fermentation and parasitic infestations. Silver is also known as a treatment for HIV and AIDS. These claims have not been recognized by the medical community but there is no denying the lengthy survival rates of some AIDS patients who swear by silver. The same mechanism that hinders the replication of pathogens also seems to prevent the body from developing cancer. Cancerous tumors form when the cells' internal regulators stop working. The cells divide at a rate that outstrips the body's need for them. Silver recalibrates cells' rates of division. When silver is used as a broad-spectrum viral and bacterial preventative it may also cure other seemingly unrelated ailments. If you have sustained severe burns you can use silver to promote healthy cell growth and fend off infections. It reduces the appearance of acne that is bacterial in origin. It helps maintain a healthy digestive environment and it maximizes the amount of nutrients that the body is able to extract from food. Silver makes it impossible for parasites to flourish and lay their eggs. It is also effective as a digestive aid when taken with meals as it stops fermentation of food in the stomach and intestines. Fermentation can occur if food sits in the body for too long and this can lead to gas, bloating, pain, indigestion and reflux. Taking "Silver Sol-Defense" (Colloidal Silver) can help avoid all these unpleasant symptoms which a lot of people suffer with after meals. Silver has also been known to destroy water-borne parasites and filter out toxins. Ingredients: Silver (colloidal /ionic), Distilled Water.
