UPDATE: Thank you so much for your support on the success of this campaign. We are no longer fulfilling orders through IndieGogo and have permanently moved to our website: www.organicolivia.com/store.

Herbal medicine is an ancient form of healing that has been used for thousands of years in every culture. The World Health Organization states that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbs as their primary source of medicine. In a time when I was afraid I would never feel like myself again, parasite cleansing and herbal medicine helped to turn my world around. Herbs empower us to take care of our health!

Once I saw with my own eyes the parasites I was housing, the puzzle pieces fit. I had liver flukes that I later learned plug up bile ducts and hinder digestion, along with a ton of other invaders taking shelter in my intestines. My IBS diagnosis made sense for the first time. Mind you, at this point I had never even stepped foot out of the country!

How could this be? I had every test done that you can imagine. Doctors did a full colonoscopy and saw nothing abnormal. My stool was tested for parasites and came up negative. I was told there was no way I had anything living inside of me, and that candida/pathogen overgrowth was a myth.

Imagine my doctor’s surprise when I went back with photos of the worms I had passed. He turned and said, “Whatever you’re doing, don’t stop. You are on the right track.”

Every indigenous culture around the world parasite cleanses using some sort of plant botanical. Why not America? We de-worm our pets twice a year, and we share their living space. Why not we de-worm ourselves?

What We're Funding.

I want to create a company and line of products that can add to your quality of life. By pre-ordering a parasite cleanse or one of our brand new products below, you will forever be a part of taking Organic Olivia to the next level. We will be able to:

1) Liv & Lily’s Parasite Cleanse 2.0 {$49}:

Our new and improved parasite cleanse makes the process easier than ever. We’ve formulated a potent Colon Care Formula that makes the elimination aspect a piece of (gluten free) cake!

Component #1: Liv & Lily’s Herbal Parasite Formula
Ingredients: Black Walnut Hull, Clove, Wormwood, Garlic, Burdock Root, Cayenne Pepper (all organic or sustainably wildcrafted)
Serving Size: 2 vegetable capsules  (~1300 mg)
Servings per container: 50 (100 capsules total)

Component #2: Liv & Lily’s Colon Care Formula
Ingredients: Aloe Ferox and Barberry Bark (organic or sustainably wildcrafted)
Serving Size: 1 vegetable capsule (~400 mg)
Servings per container: 60 (60 capsules total)

Aloe Ferox: The sap of Aloe Ferox (a South African variety of aloe) produces bitter crystals that act as a remarkable colon cleanser. Aloe Ferox is similar to Aloe Vera, but has many times more nutritional and medicinal value. It contains over 130 active plant compounds that facilitate the body’s natural healing process.

Barberry Root Bark: Barberry Bark is a traditional bitter tonic used by cultures around the world to support liver function, regulate the digestive system, and support the body's detoxification process.

2) Digestion, Circulation & Food Stagnation Tea {$20}:

Among the various patterns of imbalance defined by Traditional Chinese Medicine, food stagnation is one of the most common in the United States. Food stagnation refers to the immobility of undigested food in the intestines. It may happen acutely, such as the sluggishness experienced after eating a large or greasy meal. If food is not properly moving throughout the body over time, digestion can become impaired long term. Many people in the U.S. today experience bloating, constipation, poor digestion, and more. This tea is the perfect way to get your digestion moving after a filling meal so that you feel great! It can also help you reach your long term health goals by supporting fat metabolism and the cardiovascular system.

Food Stagnation-relieving herbs tend to be warm and sweet in energy. Hawthorn Berry makes for an incredible sweet tea that not only aids digestion but is delicious enough to replace dessert, too! It is the best warm drink to have after your larger meals of the day to gently support detoxification, increase circulation, ease bloating and more.

Ingredients: Hawthorn Berry (dried, organic)
Serving size: 3 tbsp, boiled in 10-16 oz. water depending on your preference
Servings per container: ~12

3) Colon Care Formula {$25}:

Component #2 of the Parasite Cleanse will be offered as a perk separately for anyone who wants to improve the quality, frequency, and ease of their bowel movements, improve skin health, and gently cleanse the colon. Non-habit forming. Please see the parasite cleanse description above for the benefits of each ingredient.

Ingredients: Aloe Ferox and Barberry Bark (organic or sustainably wildcrafted)
Serving Size: 1 vegetable capsule (~400 mg)
Servings per container: 60 (60 capsules total)

4) Xiao Yao Wan {$28}:

Xiao Yao Wan is an ancient Chinese formula designed to promote the flow of energy throughout the liver meridian. It is often called "Relax Extract" or "Free and Easy Wanderer" in TCM, because one of this formula's many uses includes mood support and the facilitation of a healthy response to stress. This formula has been used in China for a wide range of conditions including emotional, digestive, and menstrual health. By supporting the liver, this formula works gently over time to soothe monthly feminine issues. Lily has been using this blend in her practice for many years with a wonderful patient success rate, but almost all Xiao Yao Wan preparations available on the market today are made in China. We wanted to release our own version, made in the USA, using only high quality ingredients that we carefully source and select.

I recommend watching my YouTube video about PMS to understand the liver meridian's role in health: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHgsv5_LMJw

Ingredients: White peony root without bark (Bai Shao), Poria Sclerotium (Fu Ling), White Atractylodes Rhizomw (Bai Zhu), Tree Peony Bark (Mu Dan Pi), Bupleurum Root (Chai Hu), Mature Gardenia Fruit (Zhi Zi), Dong Quai Root (Dang Gui), Ginger Rhizome (Shen Jiang), Chinese Licorice Root and Rhizome (Gan Cao), Chinese Mint (Mentha arvensis L.)

5) Thyroid & Gland Support {$30}:

This formula contains a synergistic blend of herbs and a crucial amino acid designed to support glandular health. Our Thyroid + Gland Support blend supports a healthy thyroid gland, proper immune function, and works to relieve fatigue. It can also support weight loss by encouraging a sluggish metabolism and promotes an overall sense of well-being and mood enhancement. We carefully chose components that work in synergy to provide the best results possible, such as the combination of L-Tyrosine and iodine-containing bladderwrack. Studies show that tyrosine interacts with iodine in order to form thyroid hormones.

Ingredients: L-Tyrosine (amino acid), Stinging Nettle Seed, Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng), Ashwagandha, Bladderwrack (all organic or sustainably wildcrafted)
Serving Size: 2 vegetable capsules (~1300 mg)
Servings per container: 50 (100 capsules total)

Shipping + Production Time.

Since our expansion is so new, this pre-order campaign is helping us gauge how much inventory we'll need. We will be putting in our order for production as soon as we can determine the amount of units to order based on the IndieGogo sales (we're aiming to do this halfway through the campaign to get a head start).

Once our order is in, production takes 8-10 weeks. As soon as everything is ready, your items will be shipped out to you via Priority Mail (*updated 12/15 - shipments take 3-5 business days to leave the warehouse*). Please note: for shipments destined outside the USA, Organic Olivia LLC is not responsible for any brokerage fees and/or duties and taxes.

I will be posting updates on our progress through the 'Updates' section on this campaign as we go along. You'll be getting those updates straight to your e-mail so that you're always in the loop! We promise that we will work hard to get this done as quickly as we can.

What People Are Saying.

1. KATE

"My name is Kate and I am a 22 year old student. I always considered myself healthy, eating right and constantly active. Ironically, I felt tired all the time even when I had 8 hours of sleep, poor circulation in my feet, moderate acne, and my weight fluctuated.

I read some of your articles about acne, menstrual cramps, and parasites. Something told me I needed to do the cleanse. When I started telling my close friends and family about the kit, they literally laughed in my face! Despite the negativity, I did the cleanse anyways. Something told me it was the right thing to do.

The first night of the cleanse, I saw very small parasites. I immediately fished them out to show my mom. By doing enemas, on the second night, I passed 3 parasites about 12-14 inches long. I'm sure there were more in my stool. The third night, I passed 3-4 more 12-14 inch parasites along with this monster (see the second photo). The bottle is 7 inches long and the worm was about 3 lengths of the bottle, ~21 inches. These parasites have been in my gut for who knows long!

The next morning was the first time since I can remember that I have woken up before my alarm clock, I mean, popped right up ready to go! It was strange for me because I'm usually sluggish until 11 am. My acne was reduced noticeably, my feet rarely hurt, I'm able to function earlier than ever, and I lost 10 pounds with ease. People have a lot of questions for me and I tell them its not gross to ask because its your body, you deserve to know what goes on. I'm looking forward to doing cleanses more frequently as soon as I can get my hands on them!"

2. NITA

"Upon beginning to educate myself on parasites, (thanks to you), which was overwhelming and disgusting in the beginning...I was still breastfeeding my daughter. I could not wait to start my first cleanse and my detox journey back to health.

In May of 2014 I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and PCOS. I was so healthy, or should I clarify, "skinny", before I had my four children. But in all actuality I really had no clue of what "health" was. I was working out like crazy and eating what thought were nutritious foods, but knew nothing about all the GMOs, pesticides, and toxins I was consuming.

When I did my first parasite cleanse, I juiced tons of veggies and a small amount of fruits only for the first five days. Oddly I was not afraid and nervous of seeing the parasites come out of me like so many people are. It was exciting and I hoped to see SOMETHING!

Because I was juicing and decided to do enemas to really clean out my lower intestines, my stools were loose so I was able to fish through with a plastic fork and pull the worms out to examine them. My husband got a huge rope worm out with his first enema. We were thrilled to be getting healthy again, the right way. We both felt more energetic after the cleanse and since then we have done a few more cleanses and three liver flushes so far. Our results have been amazing and my liver numbers are completely normal now!

To anyone who is hesitant about starting a parasite cleanse, don't be! THANK YOU OLIVIA, LILY, NICK and all the amazing helpers for creating these wonderful products!!”

Parasite Cleanse FAQ:

Q: What should I eat during a parasite cleanse?
A: The optimal diet during a parasite cleanse would consist of raw carrots, pumpkin seeds, fibrous vegetables such as broccoli (lightly cooked), low sugar/bitter fruits such as berries, along with complex carbs such as whole grains, pumpkin, squash, and sweet potato. Greasy, fatty, or fried foods should be avoided. It is best to also avoid wheat (gluten), dairy (casein), processed foods, refined sugar, and high sugar fruits.

Listen to your body, as parasites will make you crave the unhealthy foods they need to thrive. Feeding unwise cravings means feeding them. If you can't stop eating something (i.e. chips or cookies), they are most likely the ones getting the nutrition - not you. However, if a certain food can satisfy you without the desire to keep eating after you're full, it was most likely good for you - not them.

The best you can do is eat fresh, lightly cooked organic vegetables, whole grains, fibrous plant foods, seeds, and drink purified water. The water and meat from young coconuts is highly valuable. Cold-pressed cranberry juice (the bitter one, not the one with added sugar; available at most health markets) can help to facilitate your body's detoxification process as well.

Q: Will you see parasites expelled in your stool?
A: Unless you are doing water enemas or checking through your stool carefully, you may not. Many parasites are either too small, or are expelled compacted within your stool. You may see eggs and larvae the most, or orange-red pieces that look like tomato skins or carrots (liver flukes). Don’t be too concerned about whether you see them or not; what matters is how you feel once the unwelcome visitors are gone!
