Frequently Asked Questions

Uric acid is the by-product of your own body’s processing of substances called purines, found in foods such as fast foods, alcohol, sugary foods & beverages and bread. If you produce too much of it, or alternatively your body cannot process it sufficiently, it accumulates in the blood and eventually deposits as needle-like crystals in your joints and soft tissue, often leading to very painful gout, arthritis and many other ailments. Excessively high uric acid levels have also been linked to stage 2 diabetes, kidney stones and renal complications, cholesterol, blood pressure, immune disorders and most ailments known to man.

Whilst genetics are believed to play a large role in high uric acid levels, westernized diets have a large part to play as well. Above average alcohol consumption and a diet of high purine foods exacerbate the problem. We strongly recommend a frank discussion with your health care practitioner to pinpoint what factors may be contributing to your high uric acid levels, and address these core issues in conjunction with your course of Lifetones.

Never stop any existing medication without first discussing it with the health care practitioner that prescribed it, or an equally qualified professional. Lifetones is safe to use in conjunction with your existing medication. As your condition improves, please discuss further medication adjustments with your medical and/or healthcare practitioner.

This could be a sign of high acid levels. When we become acidic our bodies use minerals such as calcium and magnesium to help keep us alkaline. But calcium and magnesium are also needed to help relax and feed our muscles. Depleting our bodies of these minerals can result in muscle cramps and spasms. If you are cramping badly it is important to keep your body alkaline by taking Lifetones and supplementing with Herbay CalMag.

Gout is an extremely painful form of arthritis that most commonly affects the big toe but can also affect the wrist, knee and elbow. Needle like acid crystals form in the joint causing intense throbbing pain and swelling. If gout is left untreated it can cause damage to the joint as well as kidney problems. Lifetones will help to dissolve the uric acid crystals in the join, ease the pain and inflammation as well as assist the kidneys with eliminating the acid from the body. If you are prone to gout attacks use Lifetones daily to maintain and alkaline body.

Lifetones has the unique ability to treat the cause of the pain in the joint by breaking down and eliminating the uric acid crystals that form in the joints as well as easing the pain and inflammation. These acid crystals grind away at the joint causing destruction of the cartilage and eventually the bone. Many of the remedies on the market claim to repair the cartilage and/or bone but Lifetones removes the cause of the joint destruction enabling these products to work better. You cannot repair the joint until the acid crystals have been removed.

Sometimes the uric acid in the joints that are crystalized begin to melt which means that pain and discomfort sometimes increase and even move from the joints, such as in the hands and feet, to the knees and elbows. A handful of clients have developed a mild rash within the first three days of taking Lifetones. You may even get a mild headache and/or loose stools for the first 48 hours, as a result of your body going through a detox cycle. This means that Lifetones is working. These symptoms will subside after the first few days. Remember to drink lots of water to help eliminate the uric acid.

Persons of any age group can take Lifetones, from young children (3 years old) onwards. Reduced dosages are recommended for any children under the age of 10. Children with sports related injuries, obesity, ADD, ADHD and/or sugar cravings would benefit from the use of Lifetones.

Ideally, Lifetones should be taken in a half cup (120ml) of room temperature water an hour before meals. If you missed out on this, remember that it is better to then take it either with, or after your meal, than not to take it at all!

Yes, although we recommend that you reduce your dosages once you have achieved your desired results.

Whilst we have had numerous testimonials where customers have had amazing results in 1 to 3 days, noticeable results become apparent to most between 1 week and 1 month. For extreme cases where you may have been in some discomfort for many years, the rule of thumb is that you will need one month's treatment for each year that you have suffered with the ailment.

Whilst each customer of ours is unique, research indicates that most of our clients take the full dose of 30 drops 3 times daily for between 3 and 6 months.

No! The aforementioned ailments are associated with stomach acid, completely different from uric acid conditions.

The following factors may influence Lifetones’ ability to work:

1. Continuing a poor eating plan. If bad eating habits are the root cause of your ailments, changing these habits are vital in restoring your body to health. Continue using Lifetones.
2. Diuretics - If you are on diuretic medication, you will need to increase your Lifetones intake to six full 30 drop doses daily, as much of the goodness is being passed out regularly. Ensure you are drinking sufficient water!
3. Digestive Disorders - are the most likely reason why Lifetones may not be effective for you. The vast majority of the active ingredients in our product are absorbed through the stomach: if your stomach is not well, absorption rates and thus effectiveness of any products are greatly reduced. If you have Colitis, Crohn's disease, IBS, Spastic Caton or Candida or any similar ailments, ask your pharmacist for products to help with this.
4. Damage - The acid crystals might have damaged the bone andfor cartilage. Lifetones will remove the acid crystals that have caused the damage but it is then necessary to begin rebuilding the bone and cartilage. Consult your health care provider for further information.

Herbal remedies are made in three main categories for oral consumption: Tablet/Capsule, Tea and Tincture. Depending on the ailment the delivery method will vary:

• A Tablet or Capsule will normally only deliver the water soluble actives from the herbs. In other words the body can only extract, digest and absorb only a small amount of active ingredients from the herbs which means that it will take a lot longer for the product to work.
• A tea is usually used when one wants to treat predominantly digestive disorders such as indigestion, ulcers, hernias, colitis etc. The heat of the water usually destroys a portion of the actives and the water can only extract the water soluble actives and not the essential oil soluble actives.
• A Tincture is made with medicinal alcohol derived from sugar cane and not grapes, to suit all religious groups. The only time that one should not have a tincture is if one has an intolerance to alcohol. The benefits of a tincture are that this is the most potent and most absorbable form as all the water and essential oil soluble actives are extracted and preserved naturally.
• All top brands, even top natural eye drops, contain this form of natural alcohol. Dentists and doctors use this form of alcohol in their daily practice. We have been servicing Hindu and Muslim communities for over 22 years.

Sometimes the Uric Acid in the joints that are crystalized begin to melt which means that pain and discomfort sometimes increase and even move from the extreme joints such as hands and feet to the knees and elbows. You may even get a mild headache or a loose stool for a day or two as one goes through a cleansing process. This means that Lifetones is working. Also drink more water while taking Lifetones to help flush out the acid.
