i - drops
herbal honey droplets
a mix of the most powerful traditional Chinese herbs to activate the immune system to fight viruses

This is an improved formula of the herbal tea known as "revivo". While revivo is a bitter extract powder (see revivo here), these honey droplets are easy to take and can be swallowed in small quantities. We developed the i-drops as a reactions to feedbacks from customers.

i-drops may repair the immune system function of the body efficiently and a number of viral secondary infections seem to be taken care of at the same time. For clinical data about its efficiency, please see this page.

While this is still a new way of looking at the treatment of HIV, the formula itself is but a sophisticated mixture of traditional Chinese herbs known to have positive effects on the immune system (see literature below).

One box of i-drops is recommended to be used within 2 days.


12 boxes comprise the standard quantity for 1 month of treatment.

We recommend to take up to 4 spoons of i-drops per day, 1 spoon every 4 hours, together with some water. We additionally advise to include a health diet into your daily routine. See an example of a health food diet designed to help recovering from chronic illness.

Name: i - drops
herbal honey droplets
designed after the herbal immune tea revivo

Quantity per box: 60g herbal extract powder in form of droplets coated with honey and bee's wax

Suggested dosage: take 1/2 a box per day, distributed over the day like e.g. 1 spoon full every 4 hours; after 6 days, pause for one day (pause for 1 day per week to stimulate your immune system to take over). Continue for at least 1 month or up to 3 to 6 months in severe cases.

Note: under medical observation the daily dose can be increased to 1 box (60 g) per day, and there is no need for pausing. This is particularly suggested if CD4 counts are below 200. Reduce to normal dose as soon as the CD4 counts have reached 300 (typically after 2 to 4 weeks).

How to take it: pour the contents of one 10g-bag into a glass of hot water or Job's tears milk, stir, and drink it all. You may want to add honey, as the herbal extracts are very bitter.

Important: For users with additional symptoms like fever, tiredness, secondary infections, symptoms of chest pain, swelling, nausea, etc.: please get a CD4 and virus check at your hospital and eventually medication for secondary infections. Please ensure that your diet is healthy; a specific nourishing soup designed by our doctor is here.

important notes:

1: there are about 60 symptoms of secondary infections described for people who suffer from immune system deficiencies. Please note that i-drops may only take care of those caused by a virus, and there may be an additional and limited anti-cancer activity. For any other secondary infection as caused by bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms, please make sure that you have them diagnosed and treated with appropriate medicine. Particularly dangerous are lung infections.

2: it is of great importance that your body's blood production is at full capacity. Often, however, blood production is affected by the virus. In Chinese medicine, a traditional donkey skin product ("ejiao") is used to support the body's blood production. You can find the product in your nearest Chinese medicine store (looks like a package of dark chocolate; break small portions, dissolve in hot water, and drink daily). If there are other medications or food supplements available to you to support the body's blood production, please use them. One suggestion for improved blood production is the traditional "Dragon blood". In severe cases, an initial blood transfusion is a good start if blood values are already very weak. Other herbs that stimulate blood production are the Northern crop burdock root (Arctium lappa) and the tropical crop okra ("lady finger"). Our personal suggestion is the nourishing soup.


Follow up suggestion: once your CD4-count has gone above 500, you may pause and drastically reduce i-drops to about 1/2 (half) of the monthly dosage described above; above 800, you may stop entirely and only at occasions of stress and weakness take a 5 days' refresher. Please, have your CD4 count checked regularly to ensure your immune system stays on guard.
It is of great importance that your daily food supports your recovery process.

Precautions:
1: If secondary infections (especially diseases that are not caused by viruses) exist, additional medicine needs to be prescribed by your doctor to treat such infections. Also, be sure that your nutrition is optimal and not lacking essential minerals and vitamins.

2: When taking i-drops for the first time, users may experience diarrhoea due to its cleanisng function. Continue by taking a lower dosage for the start, or by taking it only every second day, but make sure to soon reach the recommended quantity.

3: Please note that, although this herbal product is becoming popular in many countries, the herbal extract combination has not yet been registered by the Health Administration and patients need to take it voluntarily.

4: The herbal extracts are nontoxic as every herbal extract has hundreds of years of use as food supplement.

Side effects: Some people report initial sleepiness, which is the calming effect of one of the herbs. Occasionally the bitterness of the herb is repelling, and initial diarrhea may occur.

Contraindications: As i-drops have a mild detoxifying effect, they are not recommended during pregnancy.

Shipment: Ships freshly prepared usually within one week; it takes 5 working days by UPS to arrive at any place in the world. Requests for anonymous shipment are taken serious and we follow your instructions. Stored cool and dry the shelf life exceeds 1 year.

Suggested synergistic herbs: Revivo does not contain the well-known immune system herb Ganoderma lucidum, because in rare cases allergies with mushroom products exist. If you are not allergic to mushrooms, adding Ganoderma is very useful.
For a daily immune system strengthening drink we recommend the tea made from Dendrobium orchid flowers. The tea also invigorates life forces (the "Qi") and helps to get a sleep free of worries and nightmares. It is helping to create a happy mood and seeing a positive future.
For impoved blood production and circulation, which is important to keep the immune system activated and remove toxins, the ancient "Dragon blood" is recommended.

Herbal description
Chinese nutraceutical extracted from:
Arctium lappa var. edule (radix), Coix lacryma-jobi (semen), Momordica charantia (semen), Hypericum chinensis (herba), Nelumbo nucifera (semen), Prunella vulgaris (semen), Zizyphus jujuba (fructus), Glycyrrhiza glabra (radix), and other herbs.

Scientific research on Chinese herbs confirms that a number of plant extracts are capable of strengthening and supporting the immune system. Our immune system is protecting us against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and tumors. Responding to these various disorders, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has discovered a range of herbal products. Revivo contains a combination of these plant extracts, which enables it to activate a wide spectrum of our body’s immune reactions.

Arctium lappa, an edible variety of burdock, is used since centuries as a traditional medical plant in China, India, Japan, and many Western countries. It has been known for detoxification and for its ability to support the body’s blood production. More recently, immune-supporting and anti-tumor properties have been found.
Coix lacryma-jobi seeds are well known in the production of non-dairy milk. Traditional folk medicine has used them against warts. New research results confirm the plant’s potent effects: extracts of the seeds have increased the quantity of zytotoxic lymphocytes and, hence, are active against viral infections.
Momordica charantia, the bitter cucumber, grows widely in home gardens of all tropical countries where it is part of the local diet. A phytochemical isolate from the plant was shown to be effective against various viruses (among them Eppstein-Barr and herpes). Two proteins (ƒÑ- und ƒÒ-momorcharin), were found effective against the HIV virus. The protein MAP30 interrupts the replication of the HIV virus.
Aside from essential oils, two active substances were isolated from Hypericum chinensis: the polycyclic diones Hypericine and Pseudohypericine, and the glycoside Hyperine. While known since centuries as anti-depressant, in 1990 research confirmed for the first time its effect against retroviruses and tumors. Hypericin is able to block the replication of the HIV virus; it also exhibits synergistic effects with AZT.
Nelumbo nucifera, the well known Lotus, is a traditional food plant of Asia. The plant is used medicinally to strengthen the heart and liver. Studies show that the lotus plant has antioxidant, anti-viral, and body-fat reducing properties. It also can reduce sugar levels, dampen the resorption of sugar, and support insulin production. Latest research point out that Lotus seeds extract significantly reduces HSV-1 multiplication in HeLa cells.
Polysacharids of Prunella vulgais, a common road side plant in all parts of the world, show anti-HIV research results and were active against Herpes simplex 1 and 2.
Ziziphus jojoba, a common edible fruit of Asia, contains the active ingredient betulinic acid, which recently was shown to cause cell-death of Melanoma cells without affecting healthy tissue. Research results suggest that there is also an effect against the HIV virus.
