FAQ's
How does Faith's Cleanse & Detox compare to other products in its field?
Faith's Cleanse & Detox is made entirely from herbs and does not contain pesticides, parasiticides or other synthetic chemicals. Synthetic copies of what is found in nature can make poor substitutes and often only offer short term results and can have long lasting side effects. A common view that naturopaths share is that you cannot outsmart nature without consequences so we strive to strengthen the immune system rather than attempting to alter or suppress it using pharmaceutical, synthetic products.
In over 30 years of the Faith's® Cleanse & Detox formula circulating, there has never been a single reported case of toxicity in any animal (including pregnant animals) using formulas from Coburg Health & Nutrition.
Please note that we do not recommend the use of this product in pregnant or lactating animals or people.
Why is Faith's Cleanse & Detox a better approach to gut health and skin problems than pharmaceuticals?
When attempting to address skin problems, the first veterinary go-to has historically been antibiotics. While there is no doubt that they can be life-saving, antibiotics do little to provide a long term solution to what in most cases stems simply from a gut imbalance that can be addressed with a food product like Faith's Cleanse & Detox.
Antibiotics quickly destroy bad bacteria, providing short-term relief. Unlike natural herbs, they do not discriminate and also kill good bacteria which in turn can make the original problem worse.
From there, veterinarians may look at administering pharmaceutical drugs that in simple terms, suppress the normal functions of the immune system in order to prevent dogs from itching. These drugs do not address the root cause of the problem which in most cases is caused by gut issues (due to a number of factors). Not only can these drugs produce long term, nasty side effects, but after some time they can stop “working” and the animals are in a far worse condition than before they started.
Should topical products be used on skin problems?
Skin health is directly related to the integrity of the digestive system. The largest organ of the body is the skin and when there is candida overgrowth in the body it can begin to show signs topically.
We have found that the issue is entirely topical only in a small percentage of cases. It is no surprise then, that topical products can only offer short term relief in most cases. Similar to antibiotics, topical medicated products can further negatively affect the bacterial balance of the skin.

Will a fresh diet help with skin health?
Yeast and cancer are primarily fuelled by sugars, so it is important to provide a diet with a controlled or limited carbohydrate content. A diet of processed foods such as kibble not only encourages candida overgrowth but may contribute to the risk of cancer. Additionally, unlike other chemical products, Faith's® Cleanse & Detox supports the normal function of the liver and kidneys and assists in eliminating toxins.
Animals come in contact with nasty toxins on a daily basis in our homes (such as chemical cleaning products and perfumes), and in the environment that we have no control over. This is why we promote a constant state of cleansing. Lots of love, a healthy diet and regular exercise are key to supreme health.
Candida and yeast... will this help to restore healthy gut balance?
Faith's Cleanse & Detox has been very successful in promoting a healthy gut balance. It also helps bring candida and yeast into normal and healthy balance. Please note that it is important to provide a diet that does not support candida overgrowth. A diet of processed foods high in sugars and simple carbohydrates encourages Candida overgrowth as yeasts thrive on processed sugars.
What are the best ways to incorporate Faith's Cleanse & Detox into my dog or cat's diet?
ALWAYS ADD RAW COCONUT OIL or water and mix well into food using a spoon. Please DO NOT sprinkle on top of food. Faith's Cleanse & Detox can be fed together with Augustine's SuperBoost and The Exchange (Dynacol Zeolite).
How long will a 260g jar of Faith's Cleanse & Detox last?
Faith's Cleanse & Detox works differently to other products in its field and as you've already read, it may assist with a lot more than just parasites. After the initial six month Kick Start Cleanse, Faith's Cleanse & Detox becomes even more cost effective because the feeding amount is permanently reduced.
*It costs less to feed puppies and kittens because in most instances the daily feeding amount is reduced to half. Depending on the age your puppy or kitten starts using Faith's Cleanse & Detox, the first annual amount required will vary.
