PS
BRAIN TREAT

(PhosphatidylSerine)
An essential brain cell nutrient*

Dist. Cost $18.90 Retail Cost $24.45
100 mg 30 Softgels

RECOVER MEMORY CAPACITY, LIFT BRAIN FATIGUE, FOCUS BETTER, LEAVE DEPRESSION BEHIND, PREVENT MEMORY PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE STAMINA.

If you want these things then you should know PS. It stands for PhosphatidylSerine (Phos-fa-tie-dill-Seer-een). Which is a compound made of phosphorus and a natural food oil. The Phosphorus part is a necessary non-metalic mineral found in every healthy cell in the body. We also know that some natural food oils are necessary for life. PS is a special phosphorus-oil compound that is vital for life. PS is part of the normal membrane covering around all the cells of the body including those of the brain. Research has shown PS plays a key role in memory. What it does in plain language is to put in more “phone lines” or communication lines between the brain cells. This helps the brain cells to talk to each other and look up something in your memory center a lot faster and with more detail. You see why we like to call this PS BRAIN TREAT. In other words, we are saying PS is a “treat for the brain.” You say how can this be? Open a capsule of PS and taste it. Part of what you taste is PhosphatidylSerine, the Phosphorus-oil liquid found around brain cells. Brain cells rub up against each other and talk through this “brain treat” food substance. So when you have enough of it your brain works better. Many people declare they have improved their memory with the continued use of PS. They can focus their attention better, problem solving is easier and depression melts away. You can imagine how important this can be for someone that may be suffering from “brain fatigue,” an Attention Disorder, memory loss or worse yet, Alzheimer’s dis-ease. Here is a happy thought! A regular person could supplement their diet with high quality PS “brain treat” now and perhaps prevent all kinds of memory problems later on. And here is another happy thought! PS is not a drug, it is a food and it is an essential nutrient for every cell in the body. The whole body might just perk up!

Here is a special note for those of you in sports or who engage in rigorous and stressful activity:

Athletes who use PS indicate not only that their performance is increased but also their recovery time from physical training and activity is much quicker. This goes for the stress the trucker has to confront too.

Dosage: 100 mg to 300 mg per day.

Take with a meal. Give it three weeks before you begin to see the maximum effects PS can have for you.

EAZY CO-Q-10

A vital enzyme helper*

50 mg 50 Softgels

MORE ENERGY, STRONGER HEART, EASIER BREATHING, IMPROVED MEMORY, MENTAL CLARITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE

If you are looking for any or all of these results then do try Co-Q-10 (Co-enzyme-Q-10). This is an oily, waxy fluid that the healthy, energetic liver normally makes to fan the flames of energy production in every cell of the body. Do you remember when you had enough energy to skip along the sidewalk and not get tired? There was a reason for this. Your liver was probably in pretty good condition and made plenty of Co-Q-10. But livers can get “dirty” and “lazy.” Poor diets can starve the liver. Pollution can dirty the liver. Drugs can stun the liver and drugs that lower cholesterol can work directly to reduce Co-Q-10 production. The job of Co-Q-10 is to combine oxygen with the digested food you eat and burn it to release energy. Each cell in the body contains little “furnaces” called mitochondria (my-toe-kon-dree-uh) that do this. You could say this is the place where the body’s life energy is generated. But how can we replace the Co-Q-10 until the liver can be restored to youthful vigor? Fortunately we can produce a very active source from the fermentation of sugar beets and sugar cane. With this we can help put the “breath of life” back into the organs and glands of the body so they work better. Consider this, the brain, heart and lungs must work all the time. The brain by itself can use up to 20% of the body’s oxygen. You can see what extra oxygen and energy can do for these vital areas. Co-Q-10 protects the “brain and nerve juice” called neuro transmitters (new-row-trans-mitters) so the brain cells and nerve cells can talk to each other. Thinking is clearer and memory is activated. Hearts thrive on the extra oxygen and energy Co-Q-10 brings to them. The heart responds by pumping more blood with less effort and plaque (plak, trash) does not build up in arteries, the lungs fill and empty easier and life is good again. And one day, with continued Co-Q-10 use, you may want to skip on that sidewalk again. As an added benefit, Co-Q-10 actively eats up the poisons that form when you burn energy or old cells die off. These poisons are known as “free radicals.” Because Co-Q-10 can destroy these poisons it is called an antioxidant (anti-ox-uh-dent). This enables Co-Q-10 to protect the brain, heart, lungs and the rest of the body from damage. It is no wonder some users of Co-Q-10 say they notice marked improvement with blood sugar problems and shaking and wasting disorders of the nerves and muscles. You may hear a lot of different conditions clear up and that life is worthwhile again. Note: Use Co-Q-10 for at least three weeks to get the body cells primed before you see the maximum energy lift begin. EAZY Co-Q-10 is called EAZY because it is so easily absorbed and it is up to two and a half times more effective than most other offerings on the market. EAZY Co-Q-10 contains no titanium dioxide to cover up spoilage. EAZY Co-Q-10 is not the inactive crystal form you may find elsewhere. EAZY Co-Q-10 is the active form called oxidized ubiquinone (ox-uh-dized U-bik-qwee-known) which the body can use more easily. In short, EAZY Co-Q-10 does the job easier and better and more efficiently.

PROPERTIES AND USES: Specific for energy, low blood sugar, ulcers, coughs, stress, allergies, stamina, magnesium source, sweetener.

Licorice Root is sweet, somewhere between 4 to 50 times sweeter than cane sugar without the calories and does not increase thirst. Licorice Root can be so sweet, it has a bitter taste unless diluted. It is a specific for low energy and low blood sugar symptoms. If a person is not feeling up to par and has a habit of eating white flour products or sugar products, it is safe to assume they would benefit by Licorice Root. Powdered Licorice held on the tongue and allowed to dissolve coats the throat to relieve sore throat. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used Licorice to combat the ravages of stress. When battle troops, in the quest to conquer the world, experienced stress, this was their mainstay. People today also experience stress. Licorice Root is a remedy for stress, be it from interpersonal relationships, allergies, or lack of energy. Licorice Root feeds the energy and hormone manufacturing glands known as the adrenals. As such, they are able to bring the entire system into better balance and promote well-being. When the need occurs for hormones, for either the male or female system, Licorice provides the building blocks for the adrenals to make these hormones. This is especially efficacious for women who have had a hysterectomy, to prevent the discomforts of hormone imbalance.

SUPERB WHEAT GRASS EXTRACT

SUPERB WHEAT GRASS EXTRACT
We need the energy and complete nourishment from high quality foods to feel good, be active, be focused, look our best and feel our best. We want to reclaim our health, maintain our health and improve our health. One of the first clues where to find foods like this came from watching animals. Ranchers, and those caring for livestock, observed that animals preferred to eat young growing grass instead of older grass. The animals that ate the young growing grass had much healthier pelts (skin and hair). They also had an overall glow of health about them. Sick and poorly developed animals, as a rule, recovered quickly. They also became very fertile when they ate the healthy young growing grass. So in early times, enlightened doctors would recommend young growing grass for desperately sick people and animals. It was a good choice. Grass takes energy more or less directly from the sun and swiftly converts it into a powerhouse of ready to use energy compounds. However, grass is hard for people to eat. Grinding it up and eating it took a lot of time, effort and commitment even if it did often produce startlingly good results. It was found through much investigation that one of the finest young grasses to eat is young Wheat Grass. (Note: Wheat Grass does not contain the protein gluten which can cause allergies in some people). We now know one of the reasons why Wheat Grass is a healer. It is an outstanding source of a free radical killer known as S.O.D. (Super-Oxide-Dismutase enzyme). This means it destroys internal poisons produced from running the body and external poisons from outside the body. Wheat Grass is not only healing, it is very nourishing. It can be up to 40% protein! But even greater yet, when you take the Wheat Grass before it branches off on its young stem, something wondrous occurs; you get a burst of “life energy” which surges up the stem. This “life energy” is best described as un-differentiated or ready to do or be anything. It can become more stem, leaves, male flower or female flowers and develop seeds. Modern medicine might well describe this state of the plant as “stem cells.” At this point we juice this young growing WHEAT GRASS so you can absorb it easily. Then we make it into a stable liquid we call SUPERB WHEAT GRASS EXTRACT. And with this gift from young healthy growing Wheat Grass juice we have the doorway through which new life energy can and will enter our body cells and regenerate them.

It can hit us anywhere we have joints; knees, shoulders, elbows, fingers, neck, back, toes and you name it. You may have been told it is normal to have problems like that. This is not true. You may have been told, It is just because you are getting older. This is not true either. But when you are in pain you don't want a lecture about diet or stress. You want relief now! This is easy to understand. You don't care if the relief is from an over-the-counter drug or a doctor's drug or his needle as long as you can get rid of the pain.

For your convenience JOINT HELPER IS A ROLL-ON. What does it do? It is a herbal combination that you apply externally which penetrates deeply and immediately for relief of joint discomfort. Where did JOINT HELPER come from? It was there all the time in the herbal world. How was it discovered? It came from the condition of suffering and the sheer necessity to find a natural solution. It came from a deep and abiding faith in the herbs and years of development. From this came the final product called JOINT HELPER. What is in it and how do the ingredients work? It contains Capsicum for circulation, Arnica to erase effects of pain, Witch Hazel to repair, Peppermint Oil for penetrating cool, Indian Tobacco to relax, Horsetail for flexibility, Sweet Cassava Starch for body, Coconut Oil to nourish tissues, Lecithin to coat nerves, Xanthan Gum for consistency, Glycine Amino Acid, protein as a lubricant, Honeysuckle as scent and Purified Water for liquidity.

You may feel heating or cooling or electrical sensations. Or you may feel any combination of these at the same time. You may have different sensations according to what your joints want and need. The effects can last for several minutes or several hours. This varies with the person. You may have to use more or less on certain joint areas depending on what condition they are in.

TESTIMONIALS
Have you ever had your lower back go out? Mine did. I was just bending over watering the flowers. I felt a snap and then I couldn't walk right or stand without pain. This had never happened to me before. I started sweating from panic and then anger that my body had somehow betrayed me. Then I felt very alone and helpless. Was I going to be like this from now on? A thousand things went through my mind in hurry. None of them good. In sheer desperation I remembered the sample of JOINT HELPER that had just been given to me. Somehow I got into the house and got the JOINT HELPER and put a lot of the ROLL-ON down my lower spine and then from side to side over the back of my hips. First it felt soothing, then cooling, then the heat and tingling kicked in. In a short while I could walk again without pain. I couldn't believe it! The JOINT HELPER keep working on and off for hours. For the next three days or so every time I needed the JOINT HELPER, I used it until I didn't need it anymore. Now I carry it with me just in case. G.W. Sterling Hghts., MI

JOINT HELPER is not just for joints. I got a Charlie Horse (cramp in the calf of my leg) while sleeping. The cramp was so bad my leg muscles still hurt the next day. It was difficult to walk. So I put JOINT HELPER on it. One use of the JOINT HELPER ROLL-ON was enough to fix it. Thanks for a wonderful product! B.J. Mt. Clemens, MI

Our friend's mother has suffered with arthritis for many years now. She heard about JOINT HELPER and tried it. She rolled it over the areas that hurt the most and then the rest. The Next day she said, In all my years of suffering nothing has ever given me that much relief and I've tried it all. Send me a dozen ROLL-ON bottles! A.P. Bay City, MI

My wife has screws in her back bone from an operation and is in more or less constant pain. She decided to try JOINT HELPER ROLL-ON over the whole area. She said, It helped me more than anything else I have used to get some peace and relief from the discomfort I suffer with. J .D. Royal Oak, MI

DIRECTIONS: Apply roll-on to sore joints as directed.
When using JOINT HELPER do not be alarmed if you feel JOINT HELPER heat up and re-activate again the next day. It may still be on the job. If contact with eyes or private areas should occur, flush with water, remain calm and peace will return. Keep out of reach of children.

LECITHIN

225 capsules/bottle

LECITHIN (less-uh-thin) is needed so the body can work. A healthy normal liver with a good diet naturally makes LECITHIN. Lecithin is a sticky yet slippery liquid that looks and feels like a cross between a medium heavy oil and a non-sweet syrup. LECITHIN dissolves fat into very tiny drops. It also dissolves cholesterol into very tiny drops. Then the body uses the fat and cholesterol as food and to make hormones. Yes, LECITHIN also dissolves cholesterol into very tiny droplets. This is wonderful because then the cholesterol does not build up into harmful, clogging deposits in the arteries and veins and other areas. Put simply, if you have no LECITHIN, no usable cholesterol and no digestible fats then you have no hormones. People must not have enough LECITHIN these days because so many people have too much un-dissolved cholesterol and run out of hormones far too soon. Either their liver is not working right or their diet is lacking in enough digestible Vitamin B complex vitamins, or both things are happening. LECITHIN is not dangerous. It is a nutrient made by the liver from basically two of the B complex vitamins and other very common ingredients. LECITHIN is also vital to coat and insulate the nerves and brain and keep them from "shorting out." Lecithin is the basis for a fluid that helps the brain and nerve cells to talk to each other. LECITHIN is needed by every tiny living cell in the body as part of the covering around the cell. It keeps the cell coverings (membranes) soft and able to use fats and cholesterol. The liver and gallbladder demand LECITHIN. It keeps them from being congested and it decongests them. The reproductive fluids of the body are made up of LECITHIN to a great extent. The filters in our kidneys use LECITHIN as a coating to prevent irritation and stay in good repair. It's probably safe to say, science will one day discover many other vital functions which LECITHIN performs.

Dosage: Two or more capsule of LECITHIN, derived from soybeans, per day or as advised by your doctor or natural health care provider as a dietary supplement derived from soybeans.

Child Dosage: One or more capsules of LECITHIN, derived from soybeans, per day or as advised by your doctor or natural health care provider as a dietary supplement derived from soybeans.

M.Y.O.-C

Muscles Young and Old: by Pat Courter

The need has always been there to have an herbal formula with the goal of producing strong health performing muscles at any age. There is a need to develop and promote strong muscles that will hold the bones in their proper places. And now we have it. It is called M.Y.O.-C (Muscles, Young and Old) designed and developed by practiced herbalist Pat Courter of Texas.

This formula is designed to provide muscle and connective tissue elasticity, endurance, balance, muscle mass, stamina, oxygenation, strength and increased circulation. To make this formula work it uses the full spectrum of strength the Creator gave to leaves, berries, roots, fruits, grains, stems and legumes. (Legumes are plants that capture nitrogen from the air and make natural fertility).

If you have hard work to perform and want to get stronger and instead of tearing yourself down, consider using this on-the-job-tested-formula. M.Y.O.-C can also be used to repair and revive muscles, maintain muscular strength and/or improve muscular performance.

With continued use of M.Y.O.-C people speak of a vibrant condition with better muscle tone and less sagging. We hear that muscle pain is decreased, sleep is deeper and better, long road trips are easier, strength is returned to the muscles, exercise is now rewarding for me. For the results you want, increase your activity with M.Y.O.-C and move the body around each day in some way, work, play or walk. Daily engage in some activity where you get the body moving.

COMBINATION: Broad Beans, Saw Palmetto, Barley, Peppermint Leaf, Sarsaparilla, Sesame Seed, Papaya, Horsetail, Flax, Mugwort, Black Walnut Meats, Oriental Mustard.

INTERNALLY: 90 drops 3 times a day for solid, quicker results, 60 drops 2 to 3 times per day for maintenance.

EXTERNALLY: After work or competition, lightly apply the herbal formula Big Five Plus Two or other herbal formula containing the herb Arnica, then generously apply the M.Y.O.-C formula.

CEDAR BERRY

Single-Seeded Cedar Berry

(Juniperus monosperma)

The Cedar Berry tree is a needle bearing tree and an evergreen that lives in the American Southwest. Think Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and you have the picture of where it is at home. It is a tough, hardy competitor able to persist on poor soil where other trees can not. It ranges in size from that of a shrub to up to 30 feet tall if it has enough water and better soil. "Out West," its common name is the " Single-Seeded Cedar Berry" tree. There are two kinds of Cedar Berry trees. One kind has the female flowers on it and the other kind has the male flowers on it. The flowers on the female trees produce a small waxy seed pod with a single seed in it. That is the part which we use.

Under the stomach and liver is a carrot shaped organ/gland called the pancreas. It empties its digestive juices from its blunt end into the small intestine. This is very important to the digestion. When the pancreas itself gets sick, you need a no nonsense remedy. We use the seed and its pod from the Cedar Berry tree for that purpose. This remedy was found out of sheer desperation by Dr. John Raymond Christopher from Utah after much prayer and fasting. His search was for something to repair a pancreas that had "bad cells" in it. This is a very serious condition because the pancreas is the main digestive organ and normally eats up any "bad cells" that occur in the body. You can imagine the panic, if the organ you rely on to eat up malignant "bad cells," is itself being eaten up. In practice he proved the value of this remedy of the Single-Seeded Cedar Berry and shared it with all of us. Along with this remedy, he gave us the wisdom to restore the function of the pancreas so the pancreas will eat up the "bad cells" in itself and anywhere else in the body.

DOSAGE: 1 teaspoon per meal.

Note: As always make sure there are two or more bowel movements per 24 hours so that debris can be removed from the body.

REMEMBER WHEN

RESTORING YOUR MEMORY

If your memory is slipping or has slipped, you had better do something about it! If there are emotional problems affecting your memory go to your minister, priest or spiritual counselor and unburden yourself. In order to fix the brain and physical part of the problem read on. For centuries, the elephants of Ceylon (see-lon) south of India, achieved fame for their excellent memories. What do they do different from other elephants? They eat the leaves of a little water lily known as GOTU KOLA (go-to-kola). We can also use the leaves of the male and female GINKGO trees, which are known to increase the blood flow and circulation to the brain. Taken on a regular basis these two herbs, GINKGO and GOTU KOLA, seem to do a pretty good job of bringing back the long term memory in great detail. The memories of past events that return may be even better in terms of details such as color, sound, touch, taste, etc. than when they happened. For the short term memory use the two herbs: BLADDERWRACK and CHLORELLA (klor-ella). BLADDERWRACK is a sea vegetable and storehouse of minerals, vitamins and valuable trace elements. You may have read that aluminum has been implicated in Alzheimer�s dis-ease. One of BLADDERWRACK'S many abilities is to bind with the metal aluminum and usher it out of the body. Aluminum, unfortunately, is found in many things from baking powder to soda pop cans. It is added to many dried foods for the sole purpose of keeping them from "caking up" or sticking together. Another way aluminum enters the body is through the use of some underarm antiperspirants. When you get the inorganic aluminum out of the body, it helps to restore the nerves, glands and brain function. Use the plant CHLORELLA to get rid of mercury and heavy metals. CHLORELLA is not a sea vegetable, but rather a part of that golden colored algae you see in summer ponds. It is a very nutritious single cell plant that looks like a tiny gold dollar under the microscope. This plant has the marvelous ability to pull poisonous heavy metals, such as mercury and lead, out of the nervous system. In this day and age, with the coal burning power plants generating electricity and in the process putting a lot of mercury into the water supply, it would be a good idea to take preventative measures. After all, we use this water to bathe in, cook with, grow our fruits and vegetables and it also gets into the fish we eat. You may have heard that mercury is known to destroy brain functions. Contrary to what you have heard, brain and nerve cells do regenerate themselves. Get the poisons out by eating right and then watch the repair take place. Keep in mind, when poisonous metals leave the nervous system, a poison antidote herb such as BLACK COHOSH should be used to counteract the feeling of agitation during the cleaning process. Also, use WORMSEED to correct and counteract the effects of many kinds of strokes which may cause memory loss. We have now joined these proven and tested herbs together to create the formula, REMEMBER WHEN. Finally, eat right, and get the "junk food" out of the diet!

DOSAGE: One tsp. or more per meal. Persist as long as it takes to repair, regenerate and restore both the long term and short term memory. Also, for a preventative and maintenance amount: 80 drops per day.

COMBINATION: Gotu Kola, Ginkgo, Bladderwrack, Chlorella, Black Cohosh, Wormseed.

HOODIA GORDONII

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?

NOW YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE REAL HOODIA GORDONII IS HERE!

You have tried all the rest. Now try the best! This is the herb for weight loss. If you are serious about weight loss, now you have the support to do it. The herb Hoodia may be the answer you have been waiting for. It is a small "cactus looking" plant two to three inches tall. The plant comes from the desert of South Africa where conditions are harsh, at best. The plants, the people and the animals there are hardy resourceful survivors. It is the perfect home for the plant Hoodia. People who live there are known to chase a rain cloud for miles just to get a drink of water. They have learned many skills to survive and they know what to do when they must go on a long trip to find food and shelter. Enter the herb Hoodia. When they take the herb it tells the body to use its resources and not spend its time being hungry for food. You don't have to live where food is scarce to take the herb. If you decide to take it you can choose if you want to eat or not. Some people say ten drops at a time, as needed, is enough. Other people say they need as much as one teaspoon three or four times per day to keep from getting hungry. Hoodia is not known to have harmful side effects. You might say it has been "field tested" for hundreds of years without a problem! Make sure you get the real plant when you buy a product labeled, "Hoodia." There are a least a dozen different kinds of this little "cactus-like" plant and only one of these types is the highest quality. It is known as Hoodia gordonii. The world's supply of this herb is limited, therefore making it hard to locate and very costly. After all, it only grows in the desert. This particular plant is regulated and only so much of it can be collected and sold. This ensures that the herb will not be over collected and be available for future generations. This is why it is really expensive. But, if it works for you then is it really expensive? Only you can say. Our Hoodia is put into a liquid form so it goes to work right away. Oh yes, when you taste our liquid Hoodia you will see what the genuine weight loss Hoodia really tastes like. We invite you to compare its taste and effectiveness with anything else you have used that calls itself Hoodia. Go for it!

Dosage: 10 drops to 1 teaspoon as needed.

HOODIA COMBINATION

Hoodia gordonii is a proven weight loss herb. It helps you to keep from being hungry and not eat as much so you can lose weight. However, when you lose weight you may run into poisons that love to hide out and get stored in only the fat tissues. This can make a person feel a bit agitated or aggravated at times. To counteract this we use the powerful poison neutralizing effects of the Acerola Cherry. Its proven and powerful anti-oxidants (poison antidotes) will help make the person more comfortable. Chlorella and Bladderwrack work in combination to mop up heavy metals and usher them out of body. Bladderwrack also helps regulate and clean your thyroid gland which acts as the body's thermostat. This in turn will help assist the body to burn fat. Red Raspberry Leaf is added to this combination because it contains a very active type of manganese which works to keep skin tight as weight is lost. Red Raspberry Leaf is what the first American women used to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy when Columbus discovered America. We add Pumpkin Seed because of its balanced zinc and copper activity to produce skin with youthful elastic tissue. Dandelion Leaf and Sunflower Seed provide a vegetable source of vitamins A and D which act to grow healthy new skin as you lose weight.

TART CHERRIES

TART (sour) CHERRIES contain among other things something called MELATONIN (mell-uh-tone-in). This is a substance normally made by a gland deep in the back of the brain known as the pineal (pi-nee-al) gland. The name pineal refers to its shape which is roughly like that of a pine cone. The gland is even more interesting when you learn that it contains cells similar to the cells of the human eye. The pineal gland also contains crystals. Medical text books often refer to these crystals as "brain dust." It is believed by other fields of study that both of these structures are activated in some way by light. But, lets get back to the discovery of Melatonin being found in tart cherries. On a physical level, adequate Melatonin has long been recognized as necessary for a good night's sleep. Even more important, Melatonin is believed to be responsible for the proper functioning of our biological clocks. These are the living clocks in the brain that time the process of hormone production in our body, as well as other functions. This function is fairly important. It is believed that the presence of Melatonin plays a large role in the aging process of the human body. At this point it may help to look at turtles for comparison. There are no senior citizen homes, prisons or insane asylums for turtles. Turtles continue to be active and behave as turtles ought to for the duration of their life. In addition to that, no matter how long they live they do not stop their sexual functions nor do they stop producing young for as long as they are alive. This is probably the way the human body should function too. But, we seem to run out of Melatonin and therefore cannot continue to produce hormones. We used to be told that only chemists in laboratories could make the additional Melatonin needed by the brain. This synthetic type of Melatonin in tablets was supposed to do what natural Melatonin was meant to do. On the whole, the results were wishful thinking. The Synthetic product was missing something to govern and ensure its true intended function, in the human body. This is what happens when pharmacists and chemists presume to improve upon the Creator's gifts and say they are producing "health foods" Unfortunately, there is always something slightly wrong or more than slightly wrong with synthetic products. Our greatly educated college and university graduates know many impressive facts, but they fail to understand something very simple. The "life force" that creates something alive is missing from something that is synthetic. What our Creator makes is endowed with life; what the chemist makes is dead! The question is, "which would you rather eat?" But wait there is more. In addition to a rich supply of Melatonin, Tart Cherries contain compounds called ANTHOCYANINS (ann-tho-sigh-ann-ins). Natural food researchers, at Michigan State University, have shown these anthocyanins to work ten times better than aspirin to reduce swelling and discomfort. These same anthocyanins are also shown to be more effective than Vitamin C and Vitamin E in preventing plaque "junk" from clogging up our arteries and heart. Want some more good news? Tart Cherries have also been shown to be extremely effective in shrinking tumors! There is even more good news Tart Cherries also taste pretty good, a lot like my mother's cherry pies when I was growing up. The most sought after Tart Cherries are named Montmorency and grow in the northern "little finger" area of Michigan, known as Traverse Bay, on Lake Michigan.

DOSAGE: As a natural source of MELATONIN for the conditions listed above take 40 drops to one teaspoon full of the liquid extract Tart Cherries three times per day, depending on the severity of the condition that needs correcting. To sleep better, be patient, it may take up to one month before you notice results. Repairing the sleep machinery in the body, may take that long before it can be activated.

BITTER ORANGE

If you want to breathe easier when troubled by allergies, hay fever, pollen, pollution, emotional upsets, bronchitis, asthma or the other torments that cause a restriction to your breathing, consider using the herb, Bitter Orange. As a bonus you may find your energy levels, concentration and circulation are better with the use of Bitter Orange. The scientific name given to the most common type of Bitter Orange, in use by herbalists, is Citrus aurantium. The Bitter Orange is especially prized for the problems we seek to correct. Although it is called Bitter Orange, its immediate taste could be described as a pleasant taste of orange with a little bit of bitter chocolate taste at the end. Altogether, it's not bad. Bitter Orange, as a plant, was at home in China originally, but now grows wherever the climate is warm and friendly enough. This gift from the Creator has been in continual use along the trade routes of the Arabian traders since the 16th century. You can say it has been adequately "field tested"! In those parts of the world Bitter Orange is considered a good and is eaten in small amounts as needed. Those who need and use this herb seem pretty satisfied with it. Bitter Orange is one representative which has been repeated by enlightened practitioners down through the corridors of time. The idea is: "We should let our food be our medicine and our medicine be our food"! Modern science has studied Bitter Orange to find out what is in it and why it works so effectively. What they found is that it contains, among other compounds, a bitter stimulant known as synephrine (suh-nef-ren). These compounds work together to open troubled breathing passages and increase physical activity without side effects! This is a God-send for those suffering with breathing and circulatory problems. You may have to wait a few minutes after taking Bitter Orange before you get its full effect. Please Note: Some people use Bitter Orange to assist weight loss by taking advantage of its stimulant qualities. If so, this property should not be abused any more than one would abuse coffee or tea for that purpose. There is a difference between use and abuse and a person does know the difference. Additionally, experience with Bitter Orange from South American folk usage indicates to use it when there is trouble sleeping and for frazzled nerves. Traditional Chinese medicine also uses Bitter Orange for indigestion, constipation and abdominal discomfort. American folk use says: "For the desperate and adventuresome with trouble breathing, spray Bitter Orange extract directly into the throat with a clean perfume atomizer (mist sprayer) and inhale." Relief is swift and in some cases it may cause a violent discharge of thick mucus for two or three days, which when endured, can stop future attacks.

DOSAGE: 40 drops under the tongue as needed.

WINTERGREEN OIL

When we say WINTERGREEN we mean any of many small, hardy evergreen herbs about 6 inches tall or, if you prefer, 15 centimeters tall, that grow as a kind of ground cover. It is found in abundance in the North Eastern region of North America (U.S. and Canada). The best known type of Wintergreen has the scientific name of (Gaultheria procumbens). Wintergreen has leathery, green, broad leaves and loves to grow as a thick carpet in the partial shade of the woods in its rich earth, but can be found on open ranges too. Its most common name of Wintergreen is surely due to the fact that in the Winter its leaves can still be seen to be alive and green. Its white bell-like flowers produce edible scarlet red berries that taste spicy and refreshing with a texture somewhat like a moist, ground up nut or grain. Contained within the entire plant is an ache and discomfort relieving compound similar to aspirin. The chemical name for this compound is salicylate (suh-liss-uh-late). The natural oil from the Wintergreen plant is almost 98% salicylate in the form of methyl (meth-ul) salicylate. It is found in a surprising number of places in every day life, classified as a flavoring agent. For example, widespread use is made of Wintergreen in toothpaste, common beverages such as root beer and Coca Cola and chewing gum.

When you go across the sea to England you will find Wintergreen Oil is currently recognized in their official medical book, the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia (farm-uh-ko-pea-uh) as a specific remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. That means if you have joints, muscles and tendons, bones or nerves that hurt and you put Wintergreen Oil on the area externally, it fixes it. Wintergreen works in two ways, one way is to quickly relieve discomfort and the other way is to break up the uric (your-ick) acid or other deposits. Then the body can flush them out. This is why we say you should also drink a large glass of clean natural water. Even better, you can drink a diuretic (die-you-ret-ik) tea. This is a tea which will encourage the kidneys to go to work. As examples, try Peppermint tea or Alfalfa tea to flush the crystals and wastes out of the body that the Wintergreen Oil breaks loose. It should also be mentioned here that this new dis-ease you hear so much about called fibromyalgia (f-eye-bro-my-al-gee-uh) is very similar to what used to be called by the old fashioned word "rheumatism" (roo-muh-tiz-em). It just so happens that Wintergreen Oil can be used externally for rheumatism with pretty good results. The people of England were not the first to discover Wintergreen. Our American "Indians" or first Americans knew this plant well and appreciated it for the taste of its refreshing berries. They lived basically outside without our modern heating. This can be a real stress on the joints. You can believe they gave thanks for the boiled tea of Wintergreen to relieve the torment of rheumatism. They not only drank the tea to treat coughs loosen mucus and relieve discomfort, they wrapped body parts with it as well. The natural oil is seldom used these days because there is a synthetic oil which is so plentiful and cheap. Herbalists however demand the natural and enjoy its added benefits even if it does cost a bit more. The natural plant oil has control mechanism built in to it so you don't have to worry so much about side effects. Wintergreen Oil is used mainly externally, although a small amount can be brushed on the tongue as needed. Here is a list of the observed effects ascribed to the Wintergreen Oil down through the ages.

As stated, Wintergreen Oil is a pain reliever. It handles swellings and can be rubbed on rheumatism areas for relief.

Apply to the chest to break up mucus and brush a little on the tongue.

Wintergreen Oil "tightens" or tones living tissue.

Wintergreen Oil is also a non-habit forming stimulant.

WHAT IS CO-ENZYME 10?

Like many other people I wondered what the stuff was. When I first learned about nutrition there was no talk of it. Now, it seems everyone in the world has heard of it, but no one bothered to tell me where it came from and if it was a great new scientific discovery produced in a laboratory by chemists and pharmacists. All I was told in poplar literature was you have got to have it, and you should buy it from us and recommend it to all who come your way! What I was given to understand from technical literature put me to sleep when I tried to read it. Our cat shook a paw at it. Only with the additional help of some of the latest technical dictionaries and by learning some additional chemistry and making diagrams and sweating through it, a picture emerged.

First of all, I found there are many, many kinds of co-enzymes. But what are co-enzymes? A co-enzyme is an enzyme helper! A co-enzyme helps enzymes work.

CO-ENZYME Q 10 IS AN ENZYME HELPER!

Enzymes digest food and stuff and they are made of protein. To understand what protein is, think of flesh or meat. Enzymes are specialized protein that make sure things get digested in a hurry. For example, when you eat a hamburger or pizza and you don’t want it to just set there in your stomach forever. You want to get some energy out of it or you want to get some building blocks to replace worn out body parts. Enter the enzyme. Enzymes break things down in a hurry. Enzymes can break down certain types of poisons too. So keep the working definition in mind: co-enzymes help enzymes do their job.

So what about this Co-Enzyme Q 10? First of all, yes it is good for you. The healthy, well nourished, young liver normally manufactures it. The stuff is waxy and oily and does not dissolve in water. So what do we have now? We have an oily or waxy substance made by the liver ready to help an enzyme work.

When the waxy Co-Enzyme Q 10 stuff hooks up with an enzyme made of protein, it can say, “reporting for duty and ready for action”! The Q10 part of this puzzle refers to the number of similar “tails” of carbon the whole compound has. Are you still with me? If not, it is ok to back up and inch forward again, as much as you like, no matter what anyone says. Now comes the question, what does the stuff called Co-Q 10 do as a whole? When you have enough of it and get it hooked up to the right enzyme, you might be amazed. According to those who have used Co-Q 10 and tests that have been run, here are some things you might be interested in. It protects the heart and nerves from damage. Ever hear of “Free Radicals”? Well, think of them as poisons, because they are as far as the body is concerned. “Free Radicals” (poisons) occur when old body cells die off. “Free Radicals” (poisons) also occur in the process of keeping the body running as it burns energy. Co-Q 10 destroys these “Free Radicals”. Co-Q 10 also keeps energy flowing to the heart and nerves. This brings up an interesting point. If you read the obituaries, also known to some as the “who died last night” column, you see quite often congestive heart failure listed as the cause of death. It is so common it has its own abbreviation. You see the letters CHF in many dictionaries. It would be far better and accurate to simply call it “tired heart” or “weak heart.” Anyway, you can see how some Co-Q 10 might come in handy as a kind of life insurance. As we abuse our liver and get older, the liver gets “lazy” and does not use protein and healthy oils in the right way. The liver makes less Co-Q 10. Enter, at this point, the sellers of Co-Q 10. You ask, where do they get it from? The answer is, mainly the leaves of the tobacco plant and also fermented sugar cane and beets. For those of us who like to get our Co-Q 10 directly from nature and not from laboratories, there are four very rich sources in the herbal world. They are ALFALFA, RICE BRAN, WHEAT GERM and GARLIC. Ever since I was a little kid I have heard about people that had heart problems repairing themselves by eating Garlic. And I keep hearing it. Garlic is very penetrating. If you peel a little piece of the Garlic that grows under the ground known as a “button” and rub it on the sole of your foot, you will taste it in your mouth in a matter of minutes. Taken internally, it has a known detergent effect on the body and cleans it up. But now we are armed with the knowledge that there may be a basis in scientific fact for the idea that Garlic repairs heart problems. As far as Alfalfa is concerned, we know cows simply love to munch away at a field of fresh Alfalfa hay. They have these huge bodies and carry lots of fat and cholesterol on them. And yet, they don’t die of heart attacks. Now look at Wheat Germ, or we should say, the sprouting portion of the wheat grain. It is very much alive and can bring forth life in the form of a new plant. Wheat Germ has the added benefit of being loaded with all the forms of naturally occurring Vitamin E. It is well established that Vitamin E also destroys “Free Radicals”, oxygenates and strengthens the heart among other things. Today we know Wheat Germ also contains Co-Q 10. This is a real bonus. Rice Bran is also where the Vitamin B’s were first discovered. Among other vital functions, they are intimately associated with keeping energy flowing to the nerves and heart. Today we know this covering around the rice grain contains Co-Q 10. So, it makes good sense to reject white rice and demand Brown Rice with its bran covering. Of course a person could get really interested and take some capsules or liquid extracts of Alfalfa, Wheat Germ, Rice Bran and Garlic all in the same day every day. Who knows how long a person like this would live and continue to enjoy life. A word to the wise: You may have started taking one of those cholesterol lowering drugs that are so popular these days. Some medical doctors love them so much they would like to see them added to drinking water. If they made you feel “weird or “funny” after a while, check with your doctor. One reason for this may be, when you suppress the liver’s production of cholesterol, you also suppress the liver’s production of Co-Q 10. In that case you may want to really consider adding a food containing Co-Q 10 to your diet each day. If you take capsules of Co-Q 10 you should allow about three weeks before you get enough Co-Q 10 absorbed through the small intestine to start feeling its maximum effects. Liquid herbal extracts containing Co-Q 10 are much quicker.

CHLORELLA

Chlorella is a microscopic green miracle plant which helps to get pesticide poisons out of the body. The poisons bind to the undigested cell walls of chlorella after we eat it and are ushered out of the body by way of the bowel. In this way lead, cadmium and other heavy poisonous metals are dumped. We spray pesticides on our foods to kill weeds and bugs to keep them from crowding out or eating our foods before we can get them. Then when we eat it we get some of those pesticide poisons ourselves. This is how we can expect to contaminate our liver, encourage the growth of "bad cells," disrupt the development of children in the womb, suppress the function of our dis-ease defenses (white blood cells and lymph node cells, for instance) and mess up our skin and eyes. Chlorophyll (plant blood) all by itself helps eliminate a whole family of petroleum based poisons called di-oxins from the body by encouraging bowel movements. The concentrated source of chlorophyll from the fresh water plant chlorella (an alga) does an excellent job of this. Chlorella is so nourishing it is the basis for an entire food chain. This life-sustaining plant could be called the "grass of fresh water." More to the point, it is a fairly complete food source in and of itself, including vitamins. There are at least 20 different types of chlorellas. We chose a thin walled chlorella for the job because it is easier to get at the digestible part and then we go one step further and make a liquid out of it that goes more or less directly into the blood stream. A vital point for vegetarians is that chlorella contains vitamin B-12. If you are feeling puny and don't know why and want to perk yourself up, sometimes a good slug of B-12 from a plant such as chlorella each day will do the trick. Your liver will love you.

Dose: 1-3 teaspoons per day.

SUTHERLANDIA

The desert herb Sutherlandia has the scientific name of Sutherlandia frutescens and is also known as Kankerbos, belbos, bitterblaar and gansies in South Africa where it is at home. In English people also call it Cancer Bush. It is a medium sized shrub with green leaves and bright red flowers. Parts used are above the ground: leaves, green stems, flowers and seeds with pods.

WHAT IT DOES:

SUTHERLANDIA seems to be an herb which mainly improves the workings of the immune system (bone marrow, thymus gland, liver, lymph nodes, spleen and other parts of the body). It assists the body to root out and clean out viruses wherever they may be in the body, no matter how long they have been at their destructive work. What is surprising is just how many problems may be caused or aggravated by viruses and their poisons.

WHAT IT WORKS ON:

Once body cells are weakened by something such as poor diet, poor bowel functions, harmful medications, emotional upsets, overwork, or other types of "stress" (stress = anything that threatens your survival), "dis-ease" organisms can move in to work their mischief. One of those "dis-ease" causing organisms is known as a virus. It is smaller than a germ, fungus or parasite. It takes over the machinery of a living body cell, perverts it and makes poisons. The virus makes that body cell sick, then multiplies itself inside the infected cell and then those offspring go off to invade other cells and so on. Unless something is done, this goes on and on until disaster results. The herb from the desert areas of South Africa known as Sutherlandia reverses this destructive process. The mischief caused by viruses and their poisons can be unraveled and corrected. Sutherlandia also works on the tumor causing viruses called retroviruses.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Should you choose to use Sutherlandia there may be a few "bumps in the road" to recovery, so to speak. It takes you back through the many past problems the body has had and you repair them as you go. But, wouldn't it be worth it to develop an immune system that viruses just bounce off of ? It would be great to get back to original condition again wouldn't it? It is a pretty tall order to build a strong immune system these days. This is especially true if you have lived for a while and your body has gone through some damaging battles and collected some "junk." If the body has "walled off" areas of struggle in the past, these may be cleaned out in the process of restoring the immune system.

Sutherlandia acts as an adaptagen to help one cope with anxiety and depression.

HOW MUCH TO TAKE:

SUTHERLANDIA is not candy. You can only go so fast when you set out to unravel all of the ills of the past caused by viruses and repair them as you go along.

INTERNAL USE:

Experience has shown three to ten drops with meals can be a pretty good pace unless advised otherwise by your health care practitioner.

EXTERNAL USE:

Apply to troubled area's), enough to cover the area each day, until the problem is resolved.

FOLK MEDICINE USE FOR SUTHERLANDIA COLLECTED SINCE VERY EARLY TIMES UP TO THE PRESENT.

When you see the number of conditions that have been corrected by Sutherlandia, you wonder if viruses were mixed into the cause of most all of these ills. Take a look.

Indigestion, poor appetite, ulcers of stomach and esophagus, painful gas blockages, liver conditions, diarrhea, diabetes, cancer of the pancreas and other cancers.

Colds, flu, asthma, chronic bronchitis and tuberculosis.

Varicose veins, hemorrhoids and heart failure.

Swellings, back ache, muscle ache, kidney and urinary tract infection and joint discomfort.

Anxiety and depression.

Chicken pox, the deadly world-wide flu epidemic of 1918 and conditions where the body's immune system is fighting good cells too instead of only enemy cells as in the case of

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).

SUTHERLANDIA COMBINATION

Contents: Sutherlandia, Virginia Snake Root, Cascara Sagrada, Bee Pollen, Distilled Water, and 38% (a grain neutral spirit).

WHY IT IS ALSO OFFERED IN A COMBINATION:

During the time Sutherlandia is working, it helps to have a poison antidote working along with it. For this reason we have included some VIRGINIA SNAKE ROOT in the combination.

You will also want to make sure you are having regular bowel movements to eliminate the poisons that are being cleaned out by Sutherlandia. For this reason we have included some CASCARA SAGRADA in the combination.

Please understand it is also vital to have a diet rich in high quality protein so Sutherlandia can do its job properly. The white blood cells made in the bone marrow and those in the lymph nodes, as well as the interferon made by the liver to fight viruses all require protein to make them. For this reason we have included BEE POLLEN in the combination.

HOW MUCH TO TAKE:

SUTHERLANDIA is not candy. You can only go so fast when you set out to unravel all of the ills of the past and repair them as you go along. Experience has shown three to ten drops per meal is a pretty good pace unless advised otherwise by your health care practitioner.

SI.A.-R

(SINUSES, ALLERGIES-REUBEN) - Brings a more complete approach to the relief of sinus problems. Allergies are often associated with and aggravate sinus conditions. Because of this, the effects of allergies must be handled to reduce the swelling as well as liquefying and draining the sinuses to relieve the pressure miseries. The problem of infections must be addressed with antibiotic herbs. The immune system must also be strengthened. SI.A.-R does all four of these things and more. SI.A.-R was developed from established herbal functions out of necessity and desperation to ease suffering. Through experience, the formula's originator, Reuben Schwartz, attests that SI.A.-R has proven itself to be very effective in stopping allergies and opening up the sinuses. He does not recommend that SI.A.-R be taken just all the time. It is meant to bring quick relief and to be taken only when needed. Golden Seal is a powerful antibiotic. Bayberry liquefies and drains hardened sinus deposits. Bitter Orange opens breathing passages of the lungs and elsewhere. Thyme is also a proven remedy for many kinds of breathing problems. Indian Tobacco relaxes spastic conditions and functions as a poison antidote. Capsicum rapidly re-establishes circulation. Wild Rose Hips (and its associated rutin and hesperidin) are one of the finest natural sources of Vitamin C for repair, antidoting poisons and fighting infections. They also act as a catalyst to make the herb team more effective. Siberian Ginseng (Indian Sarsaparilla) and Licorice Root works with the adrenal glands (one on top of each kidney) to produce at least four dozen anti-stress compounds such as adrenaline and natural cortisone. Blue Vervain provides gentle and effective comfort for irritated nerves. Black Cohosh is one of the swiftest of poison antidotes to alleviate suffering.

COMBINATION: Golden Seal, Bayberry, Thyme, Indian Tobacco, Capsicum, Wild Rose Hips, Siberian Ginseng, Licorice Root, Blue Vervain, Black Cohosh, Bitter Orange.

SUGGESTED USE: When suffering, it is most helpful taken at the rate of 40 drops, in juice or water, every 10 - 15 minutes until relief.

S.M. & W.-S

What's in S.M. & W.-S First of all, The Formula - Stimulant for Men & Women by Solomon, contains the knowledge and observation of many years of Amish herbal experience. When a practitioner sees problems over and over, and what actually works on them, then you have experience that is valuable. What else? Well, the real touch of excitement comes when you can see a formula (based on this experience and made with high quality herbs) put together and see it can do more than the individual herbs in it can do separately. Then you really have something. And that is what happened and how this formula S.M. & W.-S was developed and came to be. Since then, we have the evidence of people continuing to demand this formula for its assistance to men and women. On the basis of this, one might suspect that it works. We can get a hint of its total function by looking at its ingredients.

Sarsaparilla- Has long been prized for its anti-stress, energy and stamina giving properties by nourishing the adrenal glands (one on top of each kidney). The adrenal glands factually make at least four dozen different anti-stress compounds to keep us on a level path. They can even make female hormones for a woman who has had a hysterectomy operation to remove the ovaries and or uterus.

Pumpkin Seed- Contains the necessary trace elements of Zinc and Copper. Zinc is the friend of the prostate and the uterus so that they function normally. Copper is needed to ensure elasticity of connective tissue. Pumpkin seeds are also the enemy of "parasites" that often plague parts of the body and go undetected as a cause of mischief. Zinc and Copper from Pumpkin Seeds don't fight each other like the people who sell you laboratory made tablets of Copper and Zinc supplements say they do.

Yokum- Is an herb that has known hormonal support properties. It increases the function of sexual activity for men and women.

Wild Yam- Can be taken by women and men to provide the building blocks for the body to convert into whatever sexual hormone may be lacking. Wild Yam also has an hormonal balancing property to it.

Maca- Is the herb used for millennia by the native peoples of the high Peruvian Andes Mountains for its fertility and anti-stress support. Maca is at home in the Andes and lives and survives the rigors of that harsh climate.

Stone Root- Dissolves waste mineral deposits which can clog up circulatory vessels and thus restores circulation and function. It is noted especially for its correction of the urinary system, but it also works on cleaning heart valves and all other areas where there are congestive mineral deposits.

Contents: Sarsaparilla, Pumpkin Seed, Yokum, Wild Yam, Maca, and Stone Root.

Dose: 80 Drops to 1 Teaspoon 3X per day and let nature do the rest.

BRUISES & SPRAINS

ARNICA - For external use only. Excellent first-aid for bruises, sprains, broken bones or concussions. Make several applications externally to the area until relief is felt. This is a very swift remedy. An overnight soak can be made for serious cases by putting 40 to 80 drops in 1/2 cup of water and dampening a cloth or gauze with the solution and covering the injured area. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap and hold in place with a bandage. Change the dressing once a day and allow the area to dry before reapplying the dressing. If the skin is sensitive, then apply Vitamin E oil from 100 I.U. (International Unit) capsules prior to the dressing. The area can also be washed between dressings. Be sure to discard old dressings and never reuse. Most sprains respond rapidly and are usually corrected with a single overnight dressing or a simple single external application by rubbing in the drops. Arnica can also be used on the pulse points 5 to 10 drops on each wrist and temple and back of the neck for emotional and physical shocks, upsets, anxiety or when frightened. DOSE: EXTERNAL USE ONLY

INDIAN TOBACCO (LOBELIA) - Indian Tobacco is perhaps the most serviceable, responsible and reliable herb of the herbal kingdom. It is a wonderful catalyst (regulator), and as Dr. John Christopher remarked, it is one of the "thinking" herbs. It has the power to coordinate, direct and assist the use of other herbs or act singly, which makes it an herb of much leverage. Its usefulness has encouraged much jealously from the physicians of lesser ability. Doctors who did not recognize its true properties branded it as poisonous. In active practice, it is seen that the extract under the tongue will, within seconds or minutes (in severe cases), stop spasms, convulsions, and asthmatic attacks. With use, it easily directs itself and the other herbs to handle the body's condition needing help first and the lesser conditions next. It may also be rubbed on the chest and spine when it cannot be taken by mouth. In those cases where Indian Tobacco does empty the stomach, since it is an antispasmodic, the emesis (throwing up) of putrid material does not even cause bruising. Indian Tobacco will not act as an emetic (stomach pump) unless and emetic is necessary, and then it will act strongly upon the putrid stomach, to empty it without bruising. When rubbed across the entire abdominal area, it will relieve any associated, painful gas. Indian Tobacco is very helpful in food poisoning. Indian Tobacco is an antagonist to poison, whether animal or vegetable in origin. Indian Tobacco is at once, both tranquilizing and energizing. This is a peculiar concept, but experience has proven it to be true. For relief of menstrual cramping or relief of "Charlie Horse" (painful cramp in leg muscle) or any muscular cramping, apply liberally to the area and quickly rub in. When externally applied, please use a good quality extract, not a watery one for the action to be accomplished. DOSAGE: 1 to 20 drops, one drop at a time on the tongue. (First brush a little Peppermint Oil on the tongue if sensitive stomach). Externally, use as much as is required.

DSK.

DSK. (Disc - shock absorber pads between the vertebrae of the spine and neck) Introduces calming, restorative influence to the disc and works on regeneration of structure. Take if swollen discs to reduce inflammation, discomfort and repair area. Also apply liberally, externally to the troubled area, three times per day. Between the vertebrae (neck and back bones) there rests a disc-shaped structure that could be described as a tough, fibrous, elastic, "shock absorber pad" made, essentially, of protein with a gelatinous fluid-filled center. This makes it possible to walk without discomfort and also be able to bend the back and neck easily. Since we normally walk on our hind two appendages (legs) and not the front two (arms), we support the entire upper body on a column of bone, in the lower back especially. If we do not maintain our protein intake properly and or put too much stress on the discs and or gain too much weight, they can deteriorate or rupture. This brings bone into contact with bone and great discomfort results. The DSK. combination of herbs is composed especially of Knitbone, a type of "body glue" and rapid repair herb, assisted by Valerian Root, a pain reliever, Papaya fruit, which contains a digestaid, papain, to digest out any damaged material which can not be repaired and Willow Bark, to relieve pain and inflammation. The Willow Bark and Valerian portions of DSK allow the sufferer to, at least get some rest due to their relaxing and pain relieving qualities. COMBINATION: Knitbone, Valerian Root, Papaya Fruit, Willow Bark. Dose: Internally, 40 to 80 drops, 3 to 4 times per day and externally, apply in quantity needed to cover the area. If trouble sleeping, then 80 drops to 1 tsp. internally and apply liberally to the distressed area. For more involved conditions also do as follows. NOTE: In cases where serious damage must be repaired, a more elaborate and quicker approach can be taken. Make an application to area to be repaired in the manner described here. Apply to the area: Vitamin E from 100 I.U. capsules to make oxygen more efficient in the repair process, Oil of Cajeput as a decongestant and pain reliever, and Herbal ADJ. to increase circulation and release muscle spasms. Then place a single layer of cheese cloth or absorbent gauze saturated with DSK. over the area. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap, fix in place and leave on overnight. In the morning, remove the application and discard it. Wash the area and allow to dry. Prepare and apply fresh daytime application like the one for the night. Repeat this regimen until repaired.

SARS

(SUDDEN ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME) TYPE PROBLEMS

This dis-ease attacks the respiratory (breathing system) of a person and can become a life threatening problem. The acute part means rapid onset and the problem may result from a brief high intensity exposure to someone with the illness. The syndrome part means a group of symptoms (signs) running together that make up a "picture" of a certain dis-ease. SARS is caused by a virus. A virus is an infectious agent, smaller than most bacteria, and it needs a living cell to invade and live in to be activated and work its mischief.

What happens is that the SARS virus finds weakened or "dirty" cells in the lungs to enter and multiply. The virus destroys cells in the lungs and then the process of putrefaction (rotting) occurs. The lungs draw in fluid to dilute these poisons. All this cuts down on the amount of oxygen the lungs can take up. Breathing becomes labored and the person's temperature climbs. If the lungs are not oxygenated, strengthened and cleaned death can result.

WHAT TO DO: Open capsules of Vitamin E and apply the oil all over the chest. This oxygenates the lungs and body. Next apply liquid Pleurisy Root Extract to the entire chest. This helps to drain the excess fluid from the lungs. Then apply liquid extract C.C.E.-W (Cleansing-Corrective-Extract) to the lungs and abdomen. This will clean the lungs and the wastes from the bowel. Then apply Oil of Cajeput to the chest. Oil of Cajeput is an antibiotic and will destroy fungus as well as relieve discomfort. It also opens the air passage ways which makes breathing easier. Its scent is pleasant. Finally, apply Herbal Adjustment all over the chest. This rapidly increases circulation and opens air passage ways. Infected mucus can now slide up and out of the lungs. After applying the Herbal Adjustment slip on an old wet white T-Shirt. Use cold water to wet the T-Shirt. Next, take a plastic trash bag and poke holes for the head and arms. Pull this down over the body. Go to bed, cover up and sweat it out.

Throughout the day, while sweating, drink 1 cup every three hours of warm tea made from Yarrow Extract. This will replace body fluids. Continue until the sweat out process is complete. The tea can be prepared by adding 1 tsp. of Yarrow Extract to 1 cup of either distilled water or a good spring water. While sweating, the infected mucus may begin to be coughed up. The temperature should drop, the lungs should be cleaned out and the process is then complete. Repeat if temperature begins to climb again and cough becomes tight. In severe cases apply all the above liquid extracts and oils to the back area where the lungs are located.

CAUTION: Do not get any liquid extracts or oils in the eyes as it will cause the sensation of stinging and/or great heat. Be reassured tissue is not being destroyed, but if you don't know that you might panic. If any fluids should get into the eyes, flush immediately with water. Be patient and peace will return.

FULL NERVOUS SYSTEM APPLICATION

Excerpted from the copyrighted works

HERBAL RESEARCH GROUP DELUXE EDITION VOLUME 1

BY: DR. A.B. HOWARD

This program is for stroke victims, accident victims, surgical complications after surgery or "M.D.," "M.S." type problems. Any time there is surgery, a dental procedure, an automobile accident or an injury or trauma (electrical disturbance to the nerves) to the body from any source, there is a physical shock to the nervous system. This causes a continuing electrical disruption to the nervous system. This must be removed, even if the trauma was years ago, if repair is to take place. Otherwise, the herbs have a very difficult time doing their job.

DAILY- Apply the liquid herbs externally (listed as: Liquid Herbs to be Applied Daily) to the body, one after the other, along the pathways described below:

Have the person lie on the stomach. Start at the last cervical vertebra (neck bone) or the "bump" where the last cervical vertebra meets the first back vertebra on the trunk of the body.

A. Apply the liquid herb up onto the neck and onto the scalp all the way to the top of the head.

B. Apply the liquid herb all the way down the spine (about the width of the hand) to the tip of the coccyx (kok-siks-tail bone). Then apply over one of the buttocks and down one of the legs. When you get to the area behind the knee, go to one side as this is a rather sensitive area. Then continue down the leg (calf) to the heel and then to the middle of the foot. From there, run the liquid herb to the end of each toe. Then do the same to the other leg.

C. Apply the liquid herb in front of the ear and behind the ear, then down the neck and out to the shoulder. Then down the back of the arm to the elbow, then down the back of the forearm to the middle of the palm. From there run the liquid herb to the end of each finger.

D. Apply the liquid herb to the top of the head on the scalp, then go forward and down to the tip of the nose. Take care not to get into the eyes as intense stinging can occur. No permanent damage would occur, but it should be flushed with water. Time and patience are the best remedies after flushing.

E. Repeat this procedure each day until trauma is removed and the nervous system is repaired (this can take one month or longer in some cases) and/or until complete, normal use of the area returns. It has been observed that a pain may shoot down to the foot or hand or up to the head, or you may feel as if static electricity is coming out at the ends of the application to the fingers, toes or head, or you may observe the towel or sheet you are lying on is full of static electricity. This is simply the electrical disturbance or trauma that has been stored in the body and is now leaving. This is a very positive indication and when it no longer happens you know the system is ready to actively repair itself (because the stored trauma has been removed).

LIQUID HERBS TO BE APPLIED DAILY:

NOTE: Put VITAMIN E (from natural source 100 i.u. capsules- International Unit, a measure of liquid vitamins) on first if the skin is sensitive.

ARNICA herbal extract is used to remove physical trauma and shock from the nervous system (use a smaller amount than the other herbs).

PEPPERMINT OIL herbal extract is oxygenating.

HERBAL ADJUSTMENT herbal extract improves circulation.

B. & N.C.-W (Brain and Nerve Cocktail) herbal combination restores nerve function.

OL'#11 (OLD NUMBER 11, an herbal combination for repair) repairs all tissues of the body.

PEANUT OIL restores the insulation to the nerves. (NOTE: Warm the oil in the hands before application. Obtain the oil from a health food store, so it does not contain preservatives, refrigerate the oil when not in use).

OPTIONAL HERBS THAT CAN BE ADDED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES:

BLACK COHOSH herbal extract removes viruses and poisons from the nervous system.

MUGWORT AND WORMSEED herbal combination kills parasites which can damage the nervous system (viruses, bacteria, fungus or any other type of parasite).

SCULLCAP herbal extract repairs nerves and also removes viruses.

BLACK WALNUT HULLS herbal extract helps restore the electrical balance of the nervous system.

KLAMATH WEED herbal extract helps to restore the electrical balance to the nervous system.

NOTE: If you feel the historically observed benefits of any other herb would be useful for you in the external application to the nervous system, please feel free to utilize it.

When using anything new on the body (soap, shampoo, herbs, etc.) always put a little on the skin as a test for how your body reacts to it. Wait a few minutes and if no reaction occurs, then proceed. There is nothing in the herbs that would cause an allergic reaction, however there is always the possibility of an atypical reaction. This is a reaction to your specific body, to a substance and not typical to others.

"CANDIDA YEAST" AND " FUNGUS" TYPE PROBLEMS

Excerpted from the copyrighted works

HERBAL RESEARCH GROUP DELUXE EDITION VOLUME I

BY: DR. A.B. HOWARD

1. Herbs that historically eliminate yeast and fungus type problems are listed below:

A. Oil of Cajeput- herbal extract can usually remedy "candida yeast" type problems. Put three to four drops of Oil of Cajeput herbal extract on a little food and eat it three times a day.

B. Can-Sol- herbal combination can also be used to remedy "candida yeast" type problems and is especially helpful if a resistant strain is encountered. Use 80 drops three times per day and avoid sugars and starches.

C. Bee Propolis has historically been used with great success in handling all types of viruses, bacteria, funguses and microbes, even strains that are very resistant. Use 40 drops to two teaspoons of Bee Propolis herbal extract three times per day. Remember, the tougher the case, the larger the amount of Bee Propolis is used.

2. The role of B-complex in fighting fungus problems - Adelle Davis, noted U.S. nutritionist, ("Let's Eat Right," "Let's Have Healthy Children," etc.) successfully handled fungus type problems with large amounts of B-complex. Use Rice Bran extract or Brewer's Yeast extract, 80 drops to two teaspoons three times a day.

NOTE: In general, it has not been universally observed that eating foods that contain yeast such as bread or brewer's yeast promotes or causes "YEAST" type problems.

3. Bowel Management Program- Use a good bowel management program which produces at least three bowel movements per day. This will keep the bowel clean, as yeasts often "hang out" in this area and then migrate to other areas.

4. Avoid reinfection- If the sexual partner, wife or husband has a "candida yeast" type problem, it is likely that the partner will be a carrier. It would be wise for the partner to also use the herbs to eliminate the yeast problem.

5. Avoid meat products that were treated with antibiotics- Avoid meats where the animal was fed antibiotics as part of its feed. This generally includes anything except those meats labeled "organically raised" or at least those that are labeled "raised without antibiotics."

6. Avoid building up an intolerance to medical antibiotics (do not use them when they are not necessary) - Whenever possible, avoid the use of antibiotics. They are themselves, usually a fungus and will kill all bacteria, including the normal "friendly bacteria" in the large intestine.

A. When you use an antibiotic "fungus" to kill bacteria in the body, you kill the good and bad bacteria and establish a friendly environment for all "funguses." This encourages "candida yeast" type infections. To counteract the bad bacteria, use the suggestions in Point 7.A. of this paper.

B. Once all the bacteria are killed (good and bad), the harmful bacteria that normally reside in fecal waste matter, unless "good flora" are taken, will return in much greater numbers and faster than the good bacteria or "good flora" in the large intestine. See Point 7.A. in this paper to prevent this problem.

7. How to Supplement Nutritionally to Compensate During the Use of Medical Antibiotics- If there is a need for the use of medical antibiotics, it would be wise to supplement the body with large amounts of Vitamin-B Complex. Use Rice Bran herbal extract, 80 drops to two teaspoons three times per day.

A. You may also bring in Acidophilus, acid-loving "friendly bacteria," (good flora) from either one cup of whole milk yogurt per day (only the whole milk yogurt has the nutrients to support the acidophilus) or six to eight Acidophilus capsules with Lactose milk sugar added per day. Both can be found in health food stores. Many people allergic to milk products can tolerate this type of supplementation.

B. The result of not having "good flora" in the large intestine is the multiplication of putrefactive bacteria which produce terrible poisons that can be reabsorbed into the body, giving it a second problem. NOTE: By using whole milk yogurt daily, many people have noticed the putrefactive bacteria are squeezed out to the extent that the stool becomes almost odorless.

C. To antidote any poisons produced by putrefactive bacteria, and kill the bacteria, the following herbs may be used:

Bee Propolis- herbal extract is one of the strongest antibiotics in nature and can be used in large amounts by itself or along with the herbal combination C.C.E.-W (Cleansing Corrective Extract). Use 80 drops to one tablespoon of one or both every three to four hours during a crisis.

Golden Seal- herbal extract is also a tremendous antibiotic, but when using it, Vitamin-B Complex should also be taken, as the Golden Seal utilizes the Vitamin-B Complex in order to function as an antibiotic. Supplement with one to two teaspoons of Rice Bran herbal extract three times per day to compensate for this effect.

W.L.-S

W.L.-S - is an approach to weight loss that has not been seen before. This herbal combination was originally designed to remove sulfur accumulations from the body which were distorting body functions. You may wonder how sulfur gets into the body and could play such a detrimental role. People who were given sulfa drugs as antibiotics may still have them accumulated in the body. Today, sulfur compounds are often used to bleach vegetable products, for a "pretty" color, to keep them from turning dark and to preserve meat products. It is even included by law in wines produced in the United States. Often shampoo and many cosmetics include sulfur. Sulfur from manufacturing processes enters the water supply and gets into the drinking water. These chemical sulfur compounds act as an irritant to living systems and also block many body functions including digestion. W.L.-S herbs, acting together, work as an antagonist to inorganic sulfur (chemical sulfur) and gently, but decidedly, flush it out. It was determined through this process of flushing inorganic sulfur from the system and keeping it out, a person can often regain health and in the process loose weight. From this we have a new approach to weight loss.

W.L.-S Contains: Chickweed, Blue Vervain, Greasewood, Bladderwrack, Capsicum and Dandelion Root.

Chickweed- heals and soothes irritated tissue on contact. It also a reputed fat dissolver.

Blue Vervain- recognized for re-establishing proper nerve function while at the same time calming over-excited nerves.

Greasewood- is probably the strongest and most concentrated of herbal cleaners for the liver, bone marrow, and glandular areas. Greasewood is a known dissolver of "bad cells."

Bladderwrack- sparks especially the functions of the thyroid gland at the base of the neck and its two helper glands, the parathyroids. This major gland governs the rate at which food is burned in the body. Calcium levels are regulated for relaxed nerves and muscles.

Capsicum- does rapidly re-establish circulation to any area in need of cleaning and oxygenation. It also acts as a catalyst herb (speeds up body chemistry without over exciting the nervous system).

Dandelion Root- provides correct natural sodium balance for blood stream health, proper stomach function and joint health.

SUGGESTED USE: Place into juice or water 40 drops to 1 tsp. 3 x's per day at a meal or more or as recommended by your natural health practitioner.

WEST NILE VIRUS (TYPE PROBLEMS)

WHERE IT COMES FROM: West Nile Virus is a virus which means it is also a parasite. Birds get infected with it. When mosquitoes bite birds the mosquitoes become infected with it. Then when the infected mosquito bites a person or a horse or other warm blooded life form they can get sick from the virus. Before the virus came here through New York City in 1996, it was common to Africa and then moved into the warm areas around the Mediterranean ocean. Currently, as of August 26, 2002, West Nile Virus is in all the U.S states except for the western states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii according to the National Wildlife Health Center. It is now moving west with the birds and mosquitoes that have it.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET IT: The first signs of people with the virus is a rash and a headache and not feeling well. (Please keep in mind there are other things that can cause a rash, a headache and not feeling well to occur). The rash may not be in the area where the mosquito bite occurred. As the "dis-ease" progresses, there can be a high fever, sensitivity to light and brain inflammation. Look for signs of a "stiff neck" and accompanying soreness. The end result of these poisons from the virus can be fatal to a person or a horse or other animal unless remedied.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT: The American Indian remedy for all kinds of "poisonous bites" and "fever" and "chills" and "stiff-sore-neck" was and is BLACK COHOSH.

EXTERNALLY: Apply liberally to the entire spine, neck, and temples as needed. Take care not to give a person a "chill" while doing this. If working with a horse, apply as close to the skin as you can. Apply from below the eyes down to the nose as well.

Other remedies of great assistance can be used in the same manner. INDIAN TOBACCO, VIRGINIA SNAKE ROOT, C.C.E.-W (Cleansing-Corrective-Extract) and MUGWORT & WORMSEED. If, needed or desired, all of these could be used one after the other.

INTERNALLY, to prevent a reaction to the mosquito bite, take 40 drops per meal of BLACK COHOSH and for children 10 drops per meal. This often prevents any adverse reaction if bitten.

A.F.-R

A.F.-R-(Anti-Flu-Reuben) This combination comes to us from Amish Country in southern Indiana, where many esteemed herbalists practice. Reuben Schwartz has handed us this gift from nature and practice for easing and correcting the miseries of nasty, mean old, take you down and put you in bed type flu. This insightful combination of herbs energizes, nourishes and mobilizes all parts of the body's immune system for rapid improvement and recovery from the "flu bug." With A.F.-R the flu season does not have to look so threatening.

Combination: Herbal Adj, Golden Seal, Wild Rose Hips, Una De Gato.

Dose: Take 40 to 80 drops in water or juice at the first sign of the flu or cold. If in the grips of the flu or cold then 40 to 80 drops hourly, while awake, until well.

F. & F.

(Flu & Fever-Ford) The herb Wintergreen functions as a cooling, aromatic (having a scented character), pain and fever relieving decongestant and helps eliminate disgusting, infected mucus. Peppermint Oil, its partner, is another powerful aromatic oil with oxygenating, pain relieving and decongestant qualities. This antibiotic and cough remedy combination must be experienced to truly be appreciated. For more-or-less instant relief from the miserable feelings accompanying flu and fever try F. & F. Combination as a strong ally in your time of need.

Combination: Natural source Oils of Peppermint and Wintergreen, Golden Seal Root, Hyssop, Lemon Juice, Knitbone, Wild Cherry Bark.

Note: Shake well before using, as contents have a tendency to separate.

F.V.E.-W

(Flu, Vomiting and Earache) - Cleans stomach and ear areas and entire system of irritating debris and infected mucus, as well as providing a dependable antibiotic activity. Take 40 drops hourly, if needed, to alleviate suffering. With children and babies who need extra consideration with taste, apply F.V.E.-W 3 times per day, externally, around the ears, back of the neck, and all over the chest, in quantities needed to cover the areas. Repeat hourly if crisis. Swab ear canals with a Q-Tip (or Cotton Bud) with Vitamin E from capsules, then soak cotton balls with F.V.E.-W and insert into the ears for a time-release cleansing, antibiotic action. Change every 4 hrs. while awake, and otherwise leave in ears overnight. Prevent flu and cold by cleaning out accumulated mucus, settle the stomach and resume digestive function.

Combination: Wild Rose Hips, Golden Seal, Myrrh, Chickweed.

Dose: 10 to 40 drops, after meals, or as given above.

BEE PROPOLIS

Obtained by bees from fluids from leaves, bark and flowers. A hard, gummy, resinous substance manufactured by bees as a glue to cap honey cells and attach their living quarters to solid objects. This "bee glue" is a powerful antibiotic and anti-putrefaction agent (coats and prevents dead and rotting cells from spreading in body so they can safely be removed). Can be used hourly as an antibiotic in severe cases to regain a foothold on life.

Dose: 20 to 40 drops three times per day or if no improvement, 40 drops per hour until better.

HERBAL ADJUSTMENT & THE BODY INFLUENCES:

This is a quick acting, dramatically effective procedure for relief of headaches, cramping, arthritic discomfort, sports injuries, back discomfort, neck and shoulder tension, heart attacks, strokes and internal bleeding. To do this, two liquids are applied to the skin, one is Peppermint Oil, which is cool, and the second is a combination of herbs know as Herbal ADJ. which is not. The Peppermint Oil is applied first and the Herbal ADJ. second. The procedure of using these two liquids together is called an "Herbal Adjustment." In some cases, as given here, Herbal ADJ. is also taken internally and will be described individually. This procedure will not interfere with medication and will not make a person "groggy." Needles and injections are not used. HEADACHES AND TENSION. For headaches, apply 1st Peppermint Oil from the tip of the tailbone, up the spine, and on to the neck and the back of the head on the scalp and on up to the top of the head. Make the application about the width of the person's hand. Next apply the two liquids to the temples and forehead. Have the person lean the head back so as to avoid getting any of the liquids in the eyes. (Should an accident occur, flush with water, remain calm and peace will return). Also apply to any additional areas of the head which are hurting. Finally, apply in front of and behind the ears, down the neck on both sides and out to the shoulders. This complete application will have an effect on the entire nervous system of the body. The effects are quick and relief is swift. Repeat as needed. For additional help, if needed, put 40 to 80 drops of Herbal ADJ. in a cup of water and drink it down. Do not sip as it is hot and best to get it over with as soon as possible. If a mild headache is in progress usually an application of the two liquids to the temples, forehead and back of the neck are all that is needed for headache relief. CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS. The Herbal Adjustment liquids penetrate quickly into troubled areas. After application, the liquids at once relax the nerves and muscles which then allows the bones to go back into their proper place and the circulation resumes its normal function. In this way oxygenation and relaxation of cramping muscle pain is alleviated. The Herbal Adjustment liquids may be applied several times in extreme conditions and then repeated as needed. Do not get into eyes and wash hands after application. Application before a chiropractic adjustment makes for a very easy and quick adjustment. It will be noted the adjustment is speeded up and "sticks" (stays in place) far longer. ARTHRITIC DISCOMFORTS For arthritic discomforts the two liquids are applied to the area as needed. CRAMPING AND MENSTRUAL CRAMPING - If cramping or menstrual cramping, apply the two liquids directly to the cramping area. If additional help is needed, put 40 drops of Herbal Adj. in a cup of water and drink it. (Herbal ADJ. will not stop a menstrual flow as it is a natural bleeding). Repeat as necessary. HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND INTERNAL BLEEDING To stop a heart attack, stroke or internal bleeding, put 40 or 80 drops of Herbal ADJ. in a cup of water and drink it. Also apply to chest and neck or other area of internal bleeding. Repeat as needed. SPORTS INJURIES - For sports injuries such as sprains, twists, bumps, bruises, torn tendons, ligaments, etc., apply Arnica to the area to take the physical shock out of the area, then Peppermint Oil and then Herbal ADJ. to the area for relief of pain and to correct the circulation. Then apply the repair formula Ol' #11 (OLD NUMBER ELEVEN) to start the repair process. This is done as soon after the injury as possible. Repeat during the day every 3 to 4 hours as needed. However, it should not be thought that this procedure will not tackle chronic and old injuries with equal determination because it will. The night procedure for sports injuries is to open capsules of 100 i.u. Vitamin E (International Units, meaning a system of measurement for the amount of a liquid vitamin) and apply the oil to the injured area. Then soak cheese cloth or gauze with the repair formula Ol' #11 and wrap the area with the cloth. The larger the wrap, the greater and quicker the effect. Wrap this then with plastic sandwich wrap and an additional cloth to hold everything in place for the night. This procedure forms a thermal and moisture barrier and time release effect during the night. The herbs are driven into the body, congestion is broken up, swelling reduced and function restored. There is a two way traffic flow here. Herbs are pushed into the body area and poisons are pulled up and sweated out of the body at the same time. The next morning, remove the application and discard the herbal cloth as it is spent and contains poisons. Wash the area and allow to dry. Note: This process of applying an herbal tea or herbal extract to the body soaked into cloth is know as a fomentation (foh-men-tay-shun). For the daytime apply Arnica, Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. every 3 - 4 hours. Repeat this daytime and nighttime process until the area is repaired. DOSAGE: As given in the above work. Additionally, Herbal ADJ. can be given as part of a daily herb regimen to "spark" an herbal program and get it to work. 40 drops in a cup of water 1 - 4 times per day. NOTE: Just the Herbal ADJ. Combination is put in water to make the drink. If a Peppermint tea is desired, only 1 - 2 drops of the oil to a cup of water makes a good tea. CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIANS: When the area to be adjusted is too tense for the needed procedure, Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. applied to the spine, neck and shoulders rapidly relaxes the areas. Then minimal pressure is required to achieve remarkable results. MASSAGE THERAPISTS: Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. applied to tense areas of the spine, neck, shoulder and other areas (avoid eyes, under arm and private areas) produce a warming and relaxing effect which makes therapeutic massage a very rewarding experience. SOURCES: Dr. Eugene C. Watkins, "Get Well With Natural Remedies;" Alma R. Hutchens, "Indian Herbalogy of North America;" Dr. John R. Christopher, "School of Natural Healing." Combination: Black Cohosh, Blue Vervain, Capsicum, Indian Tobacco, Siberian Ginseng.

EYES & EARS

E.-W (Eyes) - Eyes and visual machinery can be repaired. Increases circulation to eyes and optic nerve, retina and lens. Floods oxygen to the congested areas of the eyes. Pressure-causing sinus deposits are liquefied and strings of matter may be expelled from the eyes in the cleaning process. This is not an infection, but rather a cleaning of the material clogging up the circulatory and sinus passages around the eyes. Optic nerve reception is sharpened. A very serviceable eye wash can be made from 20 to 40 drops of E.-W in 1/2 cup of distilled water. Obtain a couple of plastic eye cups, fill with the dilution (the eye wash is best used when it is at room temperature to reduce stinging, which is a normal response as circulation improves), place over the eyes, lean the head back, and let them go swimming for 5 minutes, 3 times per day. Flutter the eyes around in the dilution. Flush out the congestion, revive the circulation to the eyes, improve the vision and flush out cataracts. If eye cups are unavailable, saturate two cotton balls with the dilution, hold over the upper bony ridge of the eyes and squeeze slightly so that drops can trickle into the eyes. Repeat until well. COMBINATION: Wood Betony, Eyebright, Bayberry. Dose: 10 to 40 drops after meals. Also rub 40 drops on the sides of the nose, over the upper cheek bones and on the temples and forehead, 3 times per day, and as given above.

E. & E.-B

E. & E.-B (EYES AND EARS) Is designed with much care and understanding for the proper functioning of eyes and ears. This well studied and formulated combination was developed by the esteemed American Herbal Practitioner, Dr. William Horosh, to handle even the most difficult of eye and ear problems. Many different body systems are being worked on with this combination in E. & E. -B cont. - order to address a multitude of causes of eye and ear problems. In the process of this, attention is given to cleaning, nourishing, oxygenating, improving circulation, softening and reconditioning many different body structures. This is so much the case that E. & E. -B has also been used by practitioners to act as rejuvenation of body systems in general. COMBINATION: All Heal, Bilberry, Golden Seal, Gravel Root, Chickweed, Peach Leaf, Dandelion Leaf and Root, Purple Loosestrife, Eyebright, Wheat Germ, Ginger, Wood Betony.

Dose: 40 to 80 drops, three times per day.

BILBERRY

BILBERRY (Huckleberry) In the 1920's the discoverer of Vitamin C, Albert Giorgy, was concerned about the "spark of life" and where it came from. After years of careful research he concluded it was Vitamin C that put and kept the spark of life in the body. When food is eaten, Vitamin C is the substance that puts life back into the food to make it part of the body's living tissue. We now know why Bilberries, Black Currents, Chippewa Pine and Wild Rose Hips are used for so many different conditions to recover good health. Bilberry is a good tasting berry that contains the much sought after natural Vitamin C. Natural Vitamin C is not just one vitamin it is many related Vitamins C's. Therefore, we call it more properly, Vitamin C "complex." Chemical Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is just one synthetic type of Vitamin C. Bilberries contain all of this naturally occurring complex and the related substances found with it. The compounds Rutin, Hesperidin and Bioflavidnoids are found right along side the natural C "complex." These compounds are the "glue" that sticks your body together so it does not fall apart. Bilberries affect rapid repair of broken blood vessels and prevent them from breaking. Hence, you hear "take Bilberry to prevent bruising." The result of taking the natural C "complex" and related substances together as an extract is that of greater activity. They are far more active than a chemical Vitamin C and you don't have to keep increasing the amount as with chemical Vitamin C to get the same effect. In fact, historical evidence shows, Bilberries have been gratefully acknowledged for a very impressive array of help. Bilberries cont. Many are the conditions that fall within the influence of Bilberries. When we look at mineral sources, Bilberries are one of the highest known sources of the mineral zinc and provide a generous source of iron, manganese and selenium. Iron is required for energy, and both zinc and manganese are closely associated with production of healthy connective tissue. Selenium takes special care to ensure proper cell division and prevent harmful mutations. These prevented harmful mutations could very well have been cancerous or "bad cells." If not out-right cancerous cells, then they might have been of a type seen by the body as "foreign protein," and set off a war between the body's immune system and this "foreign protein." This is the case with conditions like osteoarthritis and other auto-immune or allergic reactions where the body is fighting itself. According to current nutritional research, both zinc and selenium (from natural food sources) are active in ensuring proper cell division and the prevention of cancer cell formation. Bilberries are such a valuable source of so many essential mineral complexes, it is no wonder then, that a long list of healing actions have been recorded and attributed to this marvelous wild berry. Here is a partial list: Bilberries are a tonic (good for all body systems), strengthen and restore eyesight (it should be noted that many and persistent are the accounts of improvement in eyesight through the use of Bilberries, including correction of macular or "fine-focus" degeneration of the eye), correct tonsillitis, sore tongue, laryngitis, violent continuous diarrhea with blood loss, intestinal putrefaction, bowel disorders, act as a bowel regulator, mouthwash, gargle, discourage roundworms, and ease vomiting; apply directly for skin problems and inflamed gums; gastric colitis, water retention, typhoid fever, sore tongue with white patches, wound healing, rheumatism (sore joints), bladder problems, gravel in urinary system and mucus in breathing passages. All in all, a very impressive champion of good health. Bilberries blend in with the body's natural functions to give them all a boost and herein lies their secret.

Dose: 40 to 80 drops on or under the tongue three times per day or hourly if condition is severe.

MACA EXTRACT

This herbal gift comes to us from the native peoples high in the Andes mountains of Peru, South America. It is used both as a food and a medicine. When you live at such great heights in a harsh and challenging environment, you look for anything you can to help you develop the stamina to survive. The herb Maca figures prominently in the ability to master this struggle. The herb itself, Maca, is a hardy survivor of harsh growing conditions. It makes its home at heights between 9,000 to 14,500 feet. This is an area where the direct rays of the sun can hit plants (and people) without having been filtered through a cloud first. Where Maca is at home, many people would be clawing for a decent breath of air when they just try to move around. Thin, rocky soils dominate the landscape and fierce winds with biting cold can whip up out of nowhere. No other cultivated plant grows as high up as Maca. Maca has the ability to survive here where other plants perish. Perhaps for this reason, the native peoples of Peru who live there turned to this hardy member of the Nightshade Family of plants (familiar relatives are the potato, tomato, egg plant and tobacco) to find that it helps them survive as well. The Maca plant lies on the ground and looks a little like a flat-growing potato plant. It has ivory colored flowers and tubers (underground storage roots) resembling an upside down pear. This storage root is the part which is used after boiling it for five to six hours to harness its positive properties. Maca's mature taste can be described as something like the taste of peanut brittle without the peanuts in it, or a type of bee pollen.

When we consider all the things Maca is traditionally relied upon to do, the best guess in figuring out how Maca works is that it nourishes the glandular control bridge of the brain (pituitary-hypothalamus-pineal-complex) and encourages it to work properly.

This control bridge then coordinates and encourages the function of all the other glands below the head. This action includes the glands of the body such as the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas, thyroid, thymus etc. and they begin producing their hormones again. This is a far different approach than orthodox medicine's practice of dumping finished chemical hormones into the body, which may or may not be unbalanced, and cause the body's glands to shrivel and stop any production of hormones that might be going on. We know that artificial chemical hormones can be a problem. Maca has been used, according to archaeological evidence in Peru, since probably 1600 years B.C. If there was any problem with it, we probably would have found out about it by now.

Many physicians of South America and Dr. Vianna Muller of New York in the U.S., find Maca especially useful for women to relieve the torments and suffering of menopause, sugar cravings and depression during and after menopause.

When Maca is given to men or animals fertility is increased and sexual function is strengthened. Yet when scientists examine Maca, they do not find it to contain hormones. They do find it to contain a class of chemical compounds known as glucosinolates, or more specifically, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyantate. These compounds are often associated with herbs know as aphrodisiacs.

Peruvian folk medicine describes the use of Maca to be for the following: For men and animals, increased fertility and increased sexual function. For women during menopause to relieve hot flashes, correction of menstrual disorders, for more youthful skin, improved sexual desire, normalizing vaginal lubrication and improved emotional balance. For both men and women: Energy and stamina, to correct anemia, to build immunity and improve memory.

Suggested traditional daily liquid Extract intake: 40 to 80 drops daily. In severely debilitated cases 1 tsp. 3 times per day.

Note: Some cleaning may occur as the glands are nourished and coordinated and encouraged to function again. If this occurs, then be sure to use Maca with a good bowel management herb or herbs to ensure at least 2 or more easy and complete bowel movements per day. Feelings of "nausea" can be prevented in this way.

SINUSES

SI.-W-(Sinus problems) SI.-W is a much relied upon and appreciated formula for sinus congestion and infections. Prevents sinus attacks. Rapidly opens breathing passages and restores breathing. When it comes to chronically (condition of long standing) blocked sinuses, the answer is to liquefy and drain. To dry up infected mucus in breathing passages merely adds another deposit to the previous layers of accumulated dried, infected mucus. This does not correct the problem. Each successive "sinus attack" is a desperate call for help from the sinus basin to be drained. SI.-W opens breathing passages and liquefies and drains sinus passages. SI.-W combines the qualities of a cooling, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, detergent team for relief of sinus anguish. 10 to 40 drops 3 times per day brings relief for breathing. To break loose old deposits may require several days or weeks at the rate of 40 drops, 3 times per day, but what else would you have been doing? As chronic dried, hard sinus deposits are liquefied, they come off layer by layer just as they were laid down. This may involve extensive drainage, and many colors of the expelled mucus may be exhibited in the process. Do Not mistake this for a sinus infection. It is not. This process of re-hydration takes time, but the results are worth it. Continue this process until the sinuses liquefy and finally drain all their old deposits, and the mucus turns clean. An interesting adjunctive use of SI.-W is for earache and ear infections where someone is recommending putting tubes in the ears to drain them. Swab the car canals with Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules to reduce any irritation. Then insert a cotton ball soaked with SI.-W into the each ear canal. This is a time-release, corrective antibiotic with a detergent effect to drain the middle ear into the mouth through the short tubes provided for that purpose, known as the Eustachian (U-stay-shun) tubes. Change the time-release cotton balls morning and night. Usually overnight or throughout the day is enough time for the SI.-W to clean the drain and get the plugs out of the tubes which empty into the mouth. Many recorded cases of hearing problems have cleared up with use of this procedure, when used for several days. Please note: Most sinus problems are caused by either of two problems. Incompletely digested food which forms irritants and causes the body to produce mucus to prevent irritation. Improper bowel management of less than one bowel movement per each meal. This causes the body to use emergency exits, such as the sinuses, lungs, ears, and throat to expel the wastes. Therefore, please use a digest-aid and a bowel maintenance program with the use of SI.-W to cut off the source of the sinus problems.

Combination: Bayberry, Golden Seal, Wood Betony, Gentian, Chickweed, Oregon Grape.

Dose: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, and as given above.

A.E.A.-B

(Allergy, Emphysema, Asthma) Is a formula distinguished by its success. It was developed by the noted American herbalist and natural practitioner, Dr. William Horosh for alleviating adverse conditions which primarily attack the respiratory system and those who suffer from allergies. A.E.A.-B is in demand especially during the spring and late summer months when pollen, mold spores, dust and various types of debris are a plague to many. A.E.A.-B helps during the winter months, when the dry,

A.E.A.-B contains two lung herbs which immediately open breathing passages: Indian Tobacco and Thyme. Indian Tobacco relaxes spastic airways and rids them of hard, dried mucus. Thyme, works by actively opening respiratory channels and acting, in many ways, like a natural cortisone. Licorice Root nourishes the adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, so that they can make more than fifty different anti-stress compounds, including your own natural cortisone. The combination Herbal Adjustment, immediately increases circulation and thus, oxygenation and carries the other herbs of this combination into the tissues. Wild Rose Hips contain a complete form of natural Vitamin C which protects, repairs , prevents and corrects fragile capillaries (tiny, delicate, thin, "work horse" blood vessels which connect the arteries and veins and get blood down to the cellular levels). The lungs contain an army of these capillaries and it is here that oxygen is absorbed and the waste gas carbon dioxide is released. This produces the energy to power the process of life and for correction and refreshment of a tired and exhausted system.

Combination: Indian Tobacco, Herbal Adjustment, Thyme, Wild Rose Hips, Licorice Root.

Dose: 40 to 80 drops as needed. As a maintenance, 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. A.E.A.-B can also be rubbed into the chest externally, front and back, several times per day for a continuing corrective action. After applying A.E.A.-B, place a cotton towel on the chest and wear a warm natural fiber garment. This helps to drive the herbs in and breaks loose dried and or congestive mucus. Note: Avoid contact with eyes, underarms and private areas. As it will cause a hot sensation due to the heat of Herbal Adj., a person might panic if they don't know this. Have patience and calm will return.

IMMUNITY

IM.S.-W (Immune System Builder)

Father Sebastian Kneip, renowned natural practitioner of the 19th century, said "when you pas among the sick, chew Juniper Berries." A natural immunity is provide by this wonderful and good tasting herb. The proof is that he and his staff were able to treat the sick and remain immune to their afflictions. Of course, Juniper Berries were also given to the sick so that they might recover, and recover they did, in legions. Marshmallow, Carpenter's Square and Mullein have long been noted as the remedies for swollen glands of the neck, underarms, breast and reproductive areas. They provide a rapid and effective immunity for these areas. Sweet Root (Calamus Root) is the most prized remedy of the North American Indian Nation, the Chippewas, and was given to those who were called "hopeless." And they got well, even when it was a viral problem! Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla are not only poison antidotes for snake bite and venereal dis-ease, they also neutralize all manner of poisons. Bacteria, viruses and fungus, including infectious yeasts, not only give off poisons that make you fee terrible, they also weaken you even more by attacking the immune system itself. Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla handle this attack as well. Lapacho corrects inflammation of the reproductive organs and glands. The fact that the nutrition of some people is not just bad, it is appalling, makes a body which lacks tissue integrity and the perfect breeding ground for infections which roll over a feeble immune system that just cannot cope with the invasion. Reverse all this, eat decent food instead of "junk foods" and build your immune system so you can live well and without as much fear. Help your immune system and it will help you. Combination: Juniper Berry, Mullein, Sweet Root, Carpenters's Square, Black Cohosh, Sarsaparilla, Lapacho, Marshmallow. Dose: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, to build active immunity. 20 to 40 drops per day as a maintenance.

Golden Seal & Echinacea Combination

Is a combination, blended together at the request of practitioners, of two potent antibiotic herbs. One very visual test of Golden Seal's quick antibiotic abilities is when applied externally to clear up Impetigo (a highly contagious skin condition characterized by numerous "crops" of puss filled eruptions). Golden Seal is also noted for its ability to act as a catalyst, that is to say, an agent which can make something work better and faster, or slower if needed, without being changed permanently itself in the process. Golden Seal gets the best out of the other herbs it works with, as well as doing a first class job itself at the same time. Echinacea is also noted as a potent immune system builder, as well as a surgeon without a knife. Echinacea, in this respect, works very well on even chronic swellings and old walled-off conditions such as cysts. Be sure to use a bowel maintenance program with Echinacea or Echinacea combinations as it is very necessary to be able to empty the wastes that are being cut loose, otherwise nausea can occur. When giving Golden Seal for an extended period of time, be sure to give a B-Complex source as well, such as 80 drops of Rice Bran Extract 3 times per day, or a cup of regular milk yogurt, as Golden Seal may also kill the "friendly bacteria" that normally live in a healthy bowel and produce B-Complex. When Echinacea does its work, as the surgeon without a knife, to rid the body of old walled off debris or cysts or just debris, the bowels must be open to prevent a "sick feeling." Combination: Golden Seal, Echinacea. Dose: Internally, 40 drops, 3 times per day. Externally, apply to the troubled area as needed. For cyst, apply directly to the skin, Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules (International Unit, i.u., a measure of liquid vitamins), Oil of Cajeput, and Herbal Adj. Then, saturate a single layer of absorbent gauze or natural fiber cheese cloth and lay this over the troubled area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and fix in place for overnight. The next morning, remove the application and discard it. Wash the area and allow to dry. Then, repeat this procedure for the daytime. Repeat until well.

Wild Cherry Bark Special

Is a liquid cough drop and much more. This natural antibiotic medicinal, with its much appreciated formula, incorporates all of the beneficial effects of Wild Cherry Bark to dissolve mucus, soothe inflamed and irritated membranes, and alleviate the suffering of coughs and colds. This widely distributed tree of North America has an agreeably bitter, slightly warm, slightly sweet taste. The shared knowledge of the Native Chippewa Inhabitants of North America did much to bring this gift of nature to our attention. The inner bark of the Wild Cherry Tree, with all its wild vigor, has and does enjoy wide use by many North American Native peoples for coughs, colds, whooping cough, bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis, daily recurring fevers and to lower high blood pressure. Wild Cherry Bark Special also contains two other valuable team players with their natural sources of Vitamin C. Wild Rose Hips and Bilberries are added to Wild Cherry Bark for their antibiotic and poison neutralizing properties, as well as a pleasing taste. Combination: Wild Cherry Bark, Wild Rose Hips, Bilberries. Dose: 40 to 80 drops per hour, while awake. If desired, allow a few drops at a time to trickle down the throat for maximum benefit.

ROYAL JELLY

When an ordinary, infertile worker bee is chosen to become a Queen, the community pools its best nutritional and hormonal resources and produces a very special liquid called Royal Jelly. This highly prized, special food not only provides a much longer life span, along with this comes greater size, strength and a retractable, reusable stinger. Royal Jelly also imparts a life vigor capable of sustaining phenomenal and continued fertility. This is the best the group has to offer. The normal young bee is fed this Royal Jelly and develops into a Queen. With the Queen rides the promise for future generations and survival of the group. Women especially, and also men, are very pleased with the external use of Royal Jelly to the skin after cleansing or shaving. The application of Formula #12 at the same time is a fine compliment to this practice. This gift of Nature to combat stress, can be taken internally and gives the entire hormonal system a pleasant boost. Royal Jelly can be applied to troubled and aged skin to smooth and repair it. Dose: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day, to counteract stress and nourish the body's hormonal system. Externally, as desired and needed, to nourish and pamper the skin.

NETTLE

Most people experience a stinging sensation when touching fresh Nettle leaves. After soaking the leaves in water for a few hours they lose their sting, but they do impart, to the water, a beautiful astringent quality. After shaving or as a facial, Nettle provides a marvelous antiseptic service and functions as a skin toner. On further examination of Nettle we find the properties necessary to correct the miseries of bladder inflammation, dizziness, spleen and lymphatic problems, liver and yes, end the "heartbreak of seborrhea, eczema, and psoriasis." Part of Nettle's corrective powers are due to the presence of a rich source of the mineral element chromium which is essential for the pancreas to produce and utilize the hormone insulin. To restore hair color, the extract is massaged nightly into the scalp. For weight loss, Nettle is combined half and half with Bladderwrack, 40 drops of the mixture three to four times per day. It is now known that Nettle contains a generous supply of the easily absorbable minerals of calcium and magnesium. These mineral properties alone can help explain the remaining functions of Nettle. Number one, Nettle can help nursing mothers to start the flow of milk and continue it, and expect themselves and baby to be calm and free of cramping. Number two, Nettle, by itself, can be very useful to clean painful acids from muscles, joints and kidneys and thus, obtain much comfort for the sufferer.

Dose: 40 drops, three to four times per day. Externally, as needed to cover the area generously, three to four times per day, or more often if itching is involved.

N.S.S.-M

A natural herbal combination formulated by ND, Master Herbalist, Ph.D., and Licensed Therapist Frank Miesse. This was formulated after using these herbs for a number of years with clients who found a need to enhance their sexual vigor. With the advent of Viagra, many are looking for a stimulant to enhance their sex drive or to help them overcome problems due to medication, etc., that have robbed them of their natural desires. By formulating these five herbal extracts and combinations, many have found very pleasing results.

Blue Steele: This great extract combination gives us the very best of both worlds, physically and mentally. This blend contains twelve wonderful herbs: Damiana, Donq Quai, Korean Ginseng, Sarsaparilla, Saw Palmetto, Elderberry, False Unicorn Root, Yokum, Siberian Ginseng, French Vanilla, Wood Betony and Indian Tobacco. Without going into detail, ten of these strengthen desire (acts as an aphrodisiac) and help in hormonal balance, and the last one relaxes the system.

Pumpkin Seed: An excellent trace mineral. Contains your Zinc and Copper and helps a swollen prostate and is a fine source of Selenium.

Maca: Strengthens sexual functions in both men and women. It functions at the brain level (pituitary and hypothalamus) for good glandular balance. It is powerful for oxygen and emotions and helps to avoid sexual organ shrinkage with age.

Sarsaparilla: Acts like an electrolyte boost for restoring energy from fatigue and exhaustion. Historically, Sarsaparilla is a preventive factor against venereal dis-ease. It is a fine hormonal herb for both men and women.

Gravel Root: Generally used for urinary tract problems and stone deposits. This herb wears many hats and is wonderful for relief of stiff and inflamed joints and tissue due to uric acid factors. It is helpful in restoring fertility for those who are suffering from infertility due to chemical or physical problems.

Comments: The present demand for a Viagra-type natural stimulant does exist, however, I do not believe that nature will give you the quick fix effect that the chemical product claims. Though the natural sex stimulant may be subtle, it will build to a healthier, consistent and daily attitude toward sexual desire and a balanced healthy body, allowing for many safe years of pleasure and a healthy life style.

Dosage: 20-40 drops taken 2 to 3 times daily in juice or water. More, as desired, will not harm you. This formula can be used by Men and Women and is user friendly.

This formula is also helpful for Endometriosis problems (inner layer of the uterus wall breaks apart and travels throughout the body and may form painful cysts containing blood, especially during period time), END-J is formulated to also be soothing and comforting endometrial conditions. TURKEY RHUBARB is astringent (tightness tissues) and a cathartic (causes rapid bowel evacuation). It cleanses the entire digestive system and bowel. It encourages and supports the normal wave of constriction after you swallow (peristalsis) all along the digestive system until it reaches the rectum. The gland along the way is also encouraged to function. Cramped intestines are relaxed and discomfort stops. YARROW is used for viral infections. It is good for clearing mucus discharge from the bladder. It will stop bleeding if used internally. PARTRIDGE BERRIES also known as Squaw Vine, is very popular for women concerns. It is used to render childbirth safe and easy, and is a common cure for gonorrhea. MARSHMALLOW is very soothing and healing because of its mucilaginous (lubricating) properties. It is an anti-inflammatory in nature. Marshmallow is used also during kidney treatments to assist in the release of stones and gravel. BURDOCK is a strong liver purifying and hormone-balancing herb. It is an excellent blood builder, purifier and cleanser. It has the ability to neutralize most poisons, relieving both the kidney and lymphatic system.

Swollen discs, seizures, folk remedy for dis-eases described as "M.S.," "M.D.," and "Lou Gehrig's dis-ease." Release of tension in area before massage therapy or chiropractic adjustment and benefits last longer.

COMBINATION: Arnica, B.& N.C.-W (Brain and Nerve Cocktail), Herbal Adjustment, Ol' #11 (Old #11), Rue.

BIG FIVE ADDENDUM: The object of this formula is to have a powerful, premixed herbal formula for relief and repair of back, neck, joint and headache problems. External applications are made to the areas in trouble. Arnica removes the physical shock to the nervous system which allows healing to take place and prevents further trauma. The Brain & Nerve Cocktail portion of the formula provides nourishment for the glands in the brain, the pituitary, pineal, hypothalmus, the brain itself, and the involuntary nervous system of the body. Herbal Adjustment is a combination of herbs which promotes better circulation and releases spasticities. This promotes rapid repair and relief of pain. Ol'# 11 is an excellent tried-and-true repair combination for any bone, flesh or cartilage structure in the body. Rue is a specific for sore muscles and injured joints. CAUTION: Rue may bring on the menstrual flow, and as such it is not advisable to use if pregnant or if pregnancy is desired. Formula 4 can be used in place of BIG 5 as it does not contain Rue. This multi-combination is a formula which incorporates many functions into one application, each of which has proven its function separately. Together, they make a powerful tool in the hands of a person for repair and relief of pain. Apply to the spine, from the tip of the tailbone up the spine (the width of the hand) on to the neck and on the scalp to the top of the head. Additionally, around the ears, down the neck and out to the shoulders, and on the temples and forehead. Do not apply to underarms, private areas or get in eyes. No permanent damage has been known to occur, but if the person does not know this, they may panic, as the formula produces the sensation of great heat. If an accident occurs, remain calm and flush with water. Peace will return again soon. This same procedure can also be used for correcting headaches. After application of the *BIG FIVE, also apply either Peppermint Oil or Oil of Cajeput to complete the pain relieving, corrective procedure. In the area where the injury has occurred or physical shock of the nervous system has occurred there may be an increased sensation of heat. Thus, the problem area is especially benefited. The effects of the combination usually last for at least 3-4 hours.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: *External application only. Repeat as needed, one to three times per day for relief of pain and then daily until healed. In conditions described as seizures, "M.S.," "M.D." and "Lou Gehrig's dis-ease," after application of Oil of Cajeput or Peppermint Oil, apply peanut oil to the spine and neck, after warming first in the hand, as an insulation for the nerves. Use peanut oil, without a preservative, from the health food store and keep refrigerated after opening. A novel use of the Big Five for sports use is to put 1 oz. of the extract in a 1 pint (1/2 liter) spray bottle of distilled water, then add 3 drops of peppermint oil. Shake the mixture well to mix the peppermint oil with the water and extract each time before using. Spray on legs or joints before activities such as bicycling, skating or running to keep muscles from cramping and extend performance abilities. If applying the extract full strength, avoid prolonged contact with sunlight, as some individuals have rather sensitive skin and need extra protection to avoid redness or soreness occurring due to interaction with sunlight.

* As this formula contains Arnica, which can, in rare instances be somewhat toxic to some individuals and the sensation of heat is produced by Capsicum, the precaution of external use only is applied to this combination. Oil of Cajeput and Peppermint also produce a great cooling and or burning sensation, so avoid contact to eyes, underarm or private areas as well.

BIG FIVE PLUS TWO

Ingredients: Peppermint & Oil of Cajeput have been added. (For external use only)

A.I.F.-T

(Anti-Inflammatory Formula)

Tamara Gordiyenko put together this formula to subdue inflammations and irritations from toxic, bacterial, chemical, or mechanical injuries; also for relief of sinus congestion. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra L.) is nutritive, demulcent, expectorant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic, (cleans the liver) and mildly laxative. It invigorates the vital energy. Its sweet agreeable taste can mask the disagreeable taste of many acrid or bitter herbs. Its demulcent properties soothe inflammation of the mucous membranes of the throat, bronchi, lungs, and the urinary & gastrointestinal tracts. It is an excellent expectorant which loosens phlegm and relieves bronchitis, coughs, and asthma, and soothes irritation/ pain of the intestines, as in diarrhea. Chamomile is a mild sedative, which has anti-inflammatory properties. It gives a person calm feelings without itself becoming an addiction. In liquid form it is used for bruises, sprains and as a preventive of gangrene. It has been used since Roman times with no recorded ill effects. Calendula (Wild Marigold) heals with speed and relieves internal and external inflammation. It is used externally for bee stings, skin dis-ease, wounds, and varicose veins. Its oil is used for ear aches. As an extract, it is applied to bruises and sprains, and can be diluted and sniffed up the nose. It is a good first aid remedy. St. John's Wort is used as an astringent and anti-inflammatory (in stomatology), and also for resolving abscess, phlegm, infected wounds, and burns. In popular medicine it is used to treat the respiratory system, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it is used for treatment of neuralgia, paralysis, hysterics, epilepsy, and nervous exhaustion. Sage (Salvia Officinalis L.)- is an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory herb. It lowers blood sugar levels and stimulates stomach acid production.

COMBINATION: Licorice Root, Sage, Chamomile, Calendula, St. John's Wort.

Z.C.B.-J

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY) - Is a tragic and serious wasting away dis-ease of the muscles of the body. Jake Schwartz and Sam Schwartz from Amish Country in Indiana did not accept this death pronouncement for their friends and worked diligently to find the cause of this problem. Their research and the work of others revealed the cause to be a Copper and Zinc imbalance within the body. An excess of Zinc causes a Copper deficiency. When there is too much Zinc, Copper is not absorbed properly and collagen and muscle tissue, which gives muscles their mass and size, cannot be produced and or replaced and the body wastes away. The person may, in advanced stages, resemble a walking skeleton. Environmental Zinc sources such as breathing Zinc fumes from manufacturing, drinking from chemically polluted ground water sources and from drinking particularly acid drinks from containers that have Zinc in their composition can be the cause of such imbalances. After using balanced Copper and Zinc herbal formulas on their friends and acquaintances, they are satisfied the problem can be solved and the dis-ease of Muscular Dystrophy reversed. It is not recommended that a colloidal form of Copper be used to attack the problem. The use of Silver may also stop the utilization of Copper and disrupt the body's DNA (genetic material). You can say this is the genetic link when the body's normal use of natural Copper is interfered with. Zinc and Copper are said to "fight" each other. That is to say, if you have too much of one it keeps the other from being absorbed and then the person will suffer from a deficiency. The beautiful part of using herbs is that they have natural control mechanisms within them to balance out the system with respect to Copper and Zinc even when an herb contains both Copper and Zinc. The formula found to be most effective in correcting Muscular Dystrophy contains the following herbs: SCULLCAP, SAGE, DANDELION ROOT, PLANTAIN, CHIPPEWA PINE AND BLUE VERVAIN.

DOSAGE: The recommended daily use is 1 tsp. 3 times per day.

ADRENALS

BEE POLLEN

PROPERTIES AND USES: Longevity, energy, hormone manufacture, build immunity, surgical dressing, stress, protein. Plant sperm from male portion of flowers, collected by choosy female experts known as bees. Promotes longevity, quick energy, stabilizes and corrects low blood sugar, contains all the elements for new life such as genetic materials named R.N.A. and D.N.A., rejuvenating, excellent antibiotic, and can be used for internal and external dressings of wounds. If painful sore throat, soak cheese cloth or absorbent gauze with Bee Pollen Extract and wrap around throat, cover with plastic wrap and a final layer of cloth on top of this to hold all in place. Change morning and night. Repeat until well. To restore the stamina of youth even under severe stress, one to three tablespoons per day. Start with one tablespoon per day. Persist even if it takes months. There is a "nasty rumor" going around, which says a man with a vacuum cleaner can collect pollen from flowers cleaner and riper than choosy female bees. The rumor also states that Bee Pollen is hard to digest. In an extract form, however, the contents of the pollen grains have been removed and are free of the cellulose (wooden) pollen husks. This makes the Bee Pollen Extract very digestible. The proof of this is that Bee Pollen extract works and it works beautifully. I sincerely hope that you will squelch this "nasty rumor" about Bee Pollen extract and bees when you hear it. Leave it to the bees, the real specialists! Bee Pollen extract from ripe selected pollen is so good that it is used to counteract allergies, even those caused by wild, unripe, air-born pollen. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops once a day for energy or as desired. 40 to 80 drops per meal as a correction and prevention for allergies. For rejuvenation, longevity, rebuilding stamina and for all other internal uses one teaspoon to one tablespoon three times per day.

FORMULA THREE

This life-saving formula was designed for desperate cases, on their last legs, to regain a foothold on life and upon which to recuperate. The best of three energy, sustaining herbs are combined here to support the function of each other and, by so doing, increase their combined affect. Together, they are the right team for rescuing those suffering from chronic fatigue and exhaustion. COMBINATION: Licorice Root, Bee Pollen, Siberian Ginseng. DOSAGE: 40 drops, hourly, as needed, in desperate cases. Can be taken at the rate of 1 tsp. to 1 tbsp., 3 times per day, until well. Energy supply to the body is swift. To regain stamina (constant high levels of energy on tap when needed that don't fade out), maintain this level of intake for as long as needed, even if it takes months! Also, each day the person should walk or move a little further, even if the first day is only a few steps or a very short distance.

SIBERIAN GINSENG

PROPERTIES AND USES: Stress, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, high blood sugar, low blood sugar, energy, stamina, reproductive support, jet lag (crossing time zones rapidly). For millennia Ginseng has been relied upon for energy and combating stress. Many different plants are sold under the name of "Ginseng" or "Siberian Ginseng." One of the finest and not the most expensive comes from India. Perhaps if it were more widely known and cost more, more would be heard about it. At any rate, this marvelous Ginseng, from India does not have to remain a secret. Try it and form your own opinion. Speaking of stress, you may have noticed the stresses of modern life are incredible at times. Until such time as people cease to be wolves to each other and we can appreciate a more convenient but rapid pace of life, we can use some support. Siberian Ginseng helps to compensate for constant change. A stronger nervous system and well-nourished adrenal glands (a gland on top of each kidney, which can make about two dozen different anti-stress hormones) do much to meet the challenge of life. If the adrenal glands are not working well and the door to the garage sticks we may sit down next to the house and cry about it. If however the adrenal glands are well-supplied with the building blocks for anti-stress hormones, we may just decide to tear the garage door off its hinges and then do it. After all, why let a garage door bully you. In the case of an illness where it seems too much effort to even walk across the room, rather than give up, try Siberian Ginseng. If you must lose sleep and/or extra demands are placed on your shoulders, try Siberian Ginseng. Then see if you don't feel like going bear hunting with a handle whip and a chair. Crossing time zones by aircraft can upset the body rhythms especially when the night was much too short in the air and when you land the people there are already having lunch. Then it is Siberian Ginseng time. When suffering from the stress of a cold, hay fever, asthma, blood pressure problems, monthly upsets, poor diet, long hours, desert heat or winter conditions, convalescence, operations, injuries, teenagers, tax collectors, competition or you name it, try Siberian Ginseng and get back to the top of things. Athletes seeking peak performance and body builders can safely rely on Siberian Ginseng to provide a competitive advantage in training, performance and development. DOSAGE: Maintenance and stress maintenance, 20 to 40 drops daily as needed. If in competition 20 to 40 drops three times per day. If serious illness, one teaspoonful three to four times per day.

BOWEL

C.C.E.-W

(CLEANSING CORRECTIVE EXTRACT) - This most valuable cleansing corrective has roots in centuries of European herbal experience and studies in Northern Europe. The originators of this all-embracing liquid, Urban Hjarne, and Dr. Samst, reported nothing short of miraculous results. When used internally, regularly and daily, it has lead to a very extended and active life span. Cleans blood, bowel, nerves and repairs them. It is a life extender. C.C.E.-W is an antibiotic, a poison antidote, and an outright corrective for numerous common and many baffling types of conditions. Its antibiotic activity is excellent. Poison antidote for bee stings and insects. Take internally and apply externally, as needed. It may be used externally as follows: apply Vitamin E oil to the area from 100 to 400 i.u capsules. Then take cotton or gauze soaked in the liquid extract and place over the affected area. Cover with plastic and hold in place with a wrap overnight. Cleansing Corrective-W has been used on a wide variety of serious or hopeless problems with very favorable results. It is taken internally for many diverse problems. The following is a partial list: sinus, deformation of hands and legs, stiffness of joints, wounds, scars, diarrhea, arthritic complaints, sprains, loss of hearing, gallbladder attacks, blood clots, hemorrhoids, “bad cells” problems, head and brain disorders, digestive problems of all kinds, birthmarks, moles, liver spots, memory, loss of appetite, anemia and high or low blood pressure. For severe itching conditions, such as chicken pox, paint C.C. E.-W on the areas with a Q-Tip or cotton bud to relieve the torment. Also, take for allergic reactions. For emergencies, or in a crisis condition, ½ ounce (one standard measure tablespoonful) can be taken at once. If flu is threatening, take one tablespoon to prevent it or if it is in full progress, take one tablespoonful every four hours, while awake, until the symptoms go away and stay away and get through the flu in record time. It would be unusual to have to take C.C. E.-W more than three times in one day. Many times, in the early stages of flu, one tablespoon will just wipe it out. If needed to counteract a persistent threat, take one tablespoon, or more, until the flu no longer threatens. If a baby or small child objects to the taste, or if the person is bedridden and cannot take by mouth, then rub in sufficient quantity to cover the entire abdomen instead of taking internally. Please Note: you will clean out large quantities of solid and liquid wastes, rapidly, which are the cause of the flu. Every time you flush these wastes away you can see what was tormenting the body and causing the flu. C.C.E.-W is also an excellent daily regimen to keep the body clean and avoid many kinds of problems. C.C.E.-W is normally taken daily, such as each night, as part of a bowel maintenance program. Take (mercifully in juice) each evening in sufficient quantity to produce at least two, and preferably three, bowel movements per day. This may not be a "civilized" idea, but is a good health idea and "good habit." In so-called primitive societies, where there are an abundance of natural foods and fiber, there are on an average of three bowel movements per 24 hrs. In these societies, they simply do not have many of the "dis-eases" we suffer from in modern "civilized society": the hemorrhoids, skin conditions, hypertension, allergies, etc. They don't even have names for them. The concept here is, when you put something into the body, then you should evacuate something so the wastes do not back up and cause a breeding ground for putrefaction and "dis-eases." By observation of healthy functioning systems, such as with a new born baby (unpolluted by junk food), if you feed the baby, then be prepared to diaper at the same time, or if you feed the dog (unless you feed him the same kind of food you are eating) then you must be prepared to walk the dog. If there are three meals per day then we want three bowel movements per day. Then, most of the hysterectomies, prostate operations, yeast miseries, bowel “bad cells”, eczema, psoriasis, parasite problems and fully 1/3 of all the "dis-eases" listed in medical books can be avoided. Remember here, the time-honored wisdom: "Miseries missed are blessings received too." COMBINATION: There are many types of cleansing corrective combinations around. This is one of the most common and best. Aloe, Angelica, Camphor, Carline Thistle, Manna, Myrrh, Rhubarb Root, Saffron, Senna, Theriac, Zedoary. REGULAR DOSAGE: 10 to 80 drops each evening. For more involved conditions, up to one tablespoon, as necessary, to obtain desired activity, for as long as necessary. If you need it, you need it. For a complete bowel maintenance program, take four to six capsules of Psyllium and four to six capsules of Alfalfa. Psyllium acts as a lubricating, internal exercising bulk and the Alfalfa as a deodorizing "scrub brush." Be sure to take a large glass of water with the Psyllium so it can do its job and so it does not gum up. For all other uses: use as given above. SERIOUS DOSAGE: Externally as given above. Internally take one teaspoon three times a day the first week. Two teaspoons, three times a day the second week. One tablespoon, three times per day until condition is corrected. For serious conditions at the start, up to one tablespoon three times per day. In emergency situations, two tablespoons at once on the tongue or in fluid. For daily maintenance of a healthy system, one to three teaspoonful. If flu symptoms occur, then two teaspoons to one tablespoonful every three to four hours while awake until symptom free.

L.B.R.-W

(LOWER BOWEL REPAIR) - An ideal formula for the bowel would contain an "industrial strength" cleaner such as Greasewood (Chaparral), which can penetrate old mucus and hardened waste in bowel pockets. Greasewood does this without harming intestinal linings. A toner would draw a ballooning and/or pocketed bowel back into shape and action. Barberry and White Oak Bark do just that. Because the bowel has a very meager nervous system, compared to other areas of the body, a "jump start" for its battery would be provided. In other words, a spark of a stimulant to get a "lazy bowel" going is a must. Bitter Orange, does this. Angelica rids the body of "gas." Marshmallow and Butcher's Broom can be employed to soothe any "cleansing irritation" and to rapidly heal the area. Occasionally during cleansing, some blood is seen in the stool as a sharp piece of "bowel rock" breaks loose or irritating wastes leave the bowel, or if a cyst opens up and bleeds clean. Marshmallow and Butcher's Broom rebuild the intestines with their healing touch. As the layers of old waste material peel off, some of this passes out as a liquid, some as solids and some turn directly to various types of repulsive gases. Hence, Angelica can be there to relieve and prevent gas discomfort. Senna is a laxative herb for dissolving and removal of hardened trash, as well as normal movements. Senna keeps the wastes, the poisons, bacteria, fungus, viruses, etc., which were locked up in the hardened wastes, moving. If there were no laxative herb in the formula, then these tormenters could make a person sick as they are set free with the dissolved wastes. This is where the confusion occurs when you take an herb such as Greasewood and people say it caused hepatitis. It did not and it does not. When a dissolving herb or an antibiotic herb is taken, then a laxative herb must be there right along with it to get the germs, viruses, fungus, etc. out of the body so they won't hang around and overwhelm the antibiotic effect and make a person sick. A good bowel repair formula would also contain a digestaid to digest out chronic disagreeable material. L.B.R.-W has all of these. COMBINATION: Greasewood (Chaparral), Marshmallow, Butcher's Broom, Barberry, White Oak Bark, Bitter Orange, Angelica, Sweet Root, Senna. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops after meals.

CASCARA SAGRADA

The bark of this wonderful tree provides us with one of the most wonderful bowel cleaners found in nature. Its name, in Spanish, means bark-sacred or sacred bark. This is as natural a solution to bowel problems as you can find. This is what animals in nature nibble on to stay regular. Cascara Sagrada gives the bowel the strength to move. A few drops of the tea on the exposed intestines of a recently sacrificed laboratory white rat will cause the intestines to move. You can imagine what it can do for a live person. Responsible people enjoy the benefit of this herb to obtain one easy and complete bowel movement per meal just as was intended by nature. Bowel wastes removed more frequently in this way, prevent all manner of mischief, including prostate problems, uterus problems, bladder and urinary tract disorders, hysterectomy, ear, throat, lung, liver, eye, sinus and cold infections, etc. Bowel wastes, when not frequently eliminated, are reabsorbed from the colon into the rest of the body and seek to be eliminated through emergency exits such as skin, lungs, ears, throat, sinuses, etc. You could tear out and throw away fully one third of all the so-called "dis-eases" of medical books with the practice of good bowel management. Even, if you did make Cascara Sagrada a habit, so what. It would be a good habit. Then energy surges back into the body as a side effect of good bowel management. The body no longer has to try to deal with backed-up bowel poisons and a new and better day does dawn. DOSAGE: Evening or before breakfast, 40 to 80 drops or more in juice (Cascara Sagrada is bitter) as needed to promote one bowel movement per meal. If chronic constipation increase to a tablespoon each evening, if needed, to blast things loose. If capsules are preferred, one to four capsules instead. A good idea is to start with one capsule and work your way upward as needed and desired.

BONES

OL' NUMBER 11 (Ol’#11)

Used to repair or strengthen any type of brain, nerve, flesh, cartilage, muscle injury or weakness. It has been known to repair bones in 1/3 the average time. Very healing and provides the body with all the necessary elements for tissue repair. For bumps, bruises, sprains, breaks, deep tissue damage, severed nerves, repair of heart and stroke damage, think Ol’ Number #11. For maintenance and bodybuilding Ol’ Number #11 is at your service. COMBINATION: White Oak Bark, Marshmallow, Mullein, Mugwort, Indian Tobacco, Scullcap, Knitbone, Black Walnut Hull, Gravel Root. DOSAGE: If you cannot work on the area directly, then take Ol' Number 11 internally. 40 to 80 drops, three times per day for repair or adding strength to the body. For severe injuries or heavy athletic training, one teaspoon to one tablespoon, three to four times per day. Additionally, for serious injury, you can work on the area directly. One very successful procedure is as an overnight application. Apply the following things directly to the area externally. Apply the herb Arnica directly to the skin of the area or around the site to get the physical shock out of the area. In this way, the injury can heal rapidly. Next, apply Vitamin E from 100 or 400 i.u. capsules (International Unit, a measure of liquid vitamins) to improve the action of oxygen for repair and to prevent irritation if very sensitive skin. At this point, apply externally, either Peppermint Oil or Oil of Cajeput and Herbal Adjustment. This relieves pain and improves the circulation in the area to be repaired. Next, soak a single layer of natural fiber cheesecloth or absorbent gauze with Ol' Number 11. Wrap this cloth, soaked with Ol' Number 11, around the injured area and cover it with plastic sandwich wrap. Then, wrap a cloth around all to hold in place for overnight. The next morning, remove the application and discard. Wash the area and allow to dry. (Never reuse the application, as this thermal and moisture barrier application also draws poisons out through the skin, as well as driving the repair herbs internally). Repeat the application procedure for the daytime. Continue with an application for the day and night until well.

KNITBONE (COMFREY)

Old bones, broken bones, old flesh and damaged flesh are replaced with new by virtue of the fact that Knitbone feeds only the best body cells and encourages thorough, rapid growth of healthy new cells, hence its title of "cellular proliferant." Healing is swift when taken in sufficient quantity. It is high in protein and is easily digested for any bodily repair. Knitbone is a most remarkable healer and has proven itself effective in the regeneration of nerve and brain tissues and all other soft tissues and bones. Hence its common name, Knitbone. May be taken in large quantities as it is a nutritive, a food especially good for delicate digestive systems. Its chief healing ingredient (allantoin) is very soothing to any irritation, internal or external. It as well as Rose Hip is indeed body glue to prevent and correct wrinkling and aging. Enjoy it and live well. NOTE: (Comfrey) Fear not. Over the years, just about every herb we hold dear, to get our selves well, has been attacked by "scientists with 20/20 rifle barrel vision." They have attacked Apples, Alfalfa, Apricots, Borage, Capsicum, Chamomile, Coltsfoot, Gravelroot, Licorice Root, Lobelia, Sassafras and now even Comfrey, the gentlest and most comforting of herbs and seek to instill us with fear and self-doubt. Even some herbalists, who should know better, got on the bandwagon. They say Comfrey has a "deadly poison" in it called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. If indeed pyrrolizidine alkaloids do occur in healthy Comfrey plants grown in healthy organic soil, then they are most assuredly antibiotics rendered harmless to us and guided by the dependable natural governing wisdom of the miracle that is Comfrey. All Antibiotics are poisons. That is what the name means, anti (against) biotic (life). An antibiotic kills the things that try to kill us. Beware of those who seek to separate us from our trust and belief in the Creator, and what has been given to us and take the Creator's place. "Scientists" can prove anything if they get the right test subjects, plants from sick soil, and set the experiment up just right and not give any of the other herbs that might help Comfrey do its job. The only qualified people to say if Comfrey is good for you are the practitioners who give it and the people who take it and get well in record time. If "scientists" truly want to learn about herbs then they should approach the subject by learning to use them, with respect, an open mind and gratitude for what the Creator has given us. Then their "scientific proof" will look much different. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops as needed with meals or externally as needed. If Poison Ivy or Poison Oak, apply externally as needed.

ARNICA

For external use only. Think of Arnica in cases of physical shock to the nervous system such as a tooth extraction, broken bones, headaches, blows to the head, sprains, and physical shock to the nervous system due to bosses, the stock market, raising children, rush hour traffic, etc. For external application simply apply the extract directly to the area, or for a more serious injury, dip cotton or gauze in the extract and wrap it around the affected area. An overnight soak can be made for serious cases by putting 40 to 80 drops in a cup of water and dampening a cloth or gauze with the solution and covering the injured area. Cover this plastic sandwich wrap and hold in place with a bandage. Change the dressing once a day to allow the area to dry before reapplying the dressing. If the skin is sensitive, then apply Vitamin E oil from 100 to 400 i.u. (International Unit) capsules prior to the dressing. The area can also be washed between dressings. Be sure to discard old dressing and never reuse. Most sprains respond rapidly and are usually corrected with a single overnight dressing or a simple single external application by rubbing in the drops. Arnica can also be used on the pulse points – 5 to 10 drops on each wrist and temple and back of the neck for emotional and physical shocks, upsets, anxiety or when frightened. CAUTION: For external use only. With arthritic and rheumatic pain, external applications to the unbroken skin are used. Arnica’s action is swift in recent injury. Repeat as needed. For older injuries, be prepared to work for 2 to 3 weeks. If dental work, apply to face and neck before and after treatment. If surgery, apply to area to be worked on and after surgery apply around the area.

WHAT IS C0-ENZYME 10?

Like many other people I wondered what the stuff was. When I first learned about nutrition there was no talk of it. Now, it seems everyone in the world has heard of it, but no one bothered to tell me where it came from and if it was a great new scientific discovery produced in a laboratory by chemists and pharmacists. All I was told in poplar literature was you have got to have it, and you should buy it from us and recommend it to all who come your way! What I was given to understand from technical literature put me to sleep when I tried to read it. Our cat shook a paw at it. Only with the additional help of some of the latest technical dictionaries and by learning some additional chemistry and making diagrams and sweating through it, a picture emerged.

First of all, I found there are many, many kinds of co-enzymes. But what are co-enzymes? A co-enzyme is an enzyme helper! A co-enzyme helps enzymes work.

CO-ENZYME Q 10 IS AN ENZYME HELPER!

Enzymes digest food and stuff and they are made of protein. To understand what protein is, think of flesh or meat. Enzymes are specialized protein that make sure things get digested in a hurry. For example, when you eat a hamburger or pizza and you don’t want it to just set there in your stomach forever. You want to get some energy out of it or you want to get some building blocks to replace worn out body parts. Enter the enzyme. Enzymes break things down in a hurry. Enzymes can break down certain types of poisons too. So keep the working definition in mind: co-enzymes help enzymes do their job.

So what about this Co-Enzyme Q 10? First of all, yes it is good for you. The healthy, well nourished, young liver normally manufactures it. The stuff is waxy and oily and does not dissolve in water. So what do we have now? We have an oily or waxy substance made by the liver ready to help an enzyme work.

When the waxy Co-Enzyme Q 10 stuff hooks up with an enzyme made of protein, it can say, “reporting for duty and ready for action”! The Q10 part of this puzzle refers to the number of similar “tails” of carbon the whole compound has. Are you still with me? If not, it is ok to back up and inch forward again, as much as you like, no matter what anyone says. Now comes the question, what does the stuff called Co-Q 10 do as a whole? When you have enough of it and get it hooked up to the right enzyme, you might be amazed. According to those who have used Co-Q 10 and tests that have been run, here are some things you might be interested in. It protects the heart and nerves from damage. Ever hear of “Free Radicals”? Well, think of them as poisons, because they are as far as the body is concerned. “Free Radicals” (poisons) occur when old body cells die off. “Free Radicals” (poisons) also occur in the process of keeping the body running as it burns energy. Co-Q 10 destroys these “Free Radicals”. Co-Q 10 also keeps energy flowing to the heart and nerves. This brings up an interesting point. If you read the obituaries, also known to some as the “who died last night” column, you see quite often congestive heart failure listed as the cause of death. It is so common it has its own abbreviation. You see the letters CHF in many dictionaries. It would be far better and accurate to simply call it “tired heart” or “weak heart”. Anyway, you can see how some Co-Q 10 might come in handy as a kind of life insurance. As we abuse our liver and get older, the liver gets “lazy” and does not use protein and healthy oils in the right way. The liver makes less Co-Q 10. Enter, at this point, the sellers of Co-Q 10. You ask, where do they get it from? The answer is, mainly the leaves of the tobacco plant and also fermented sugar cane and beets. For those of us who like to get our Co-Q 10 directly from nature and not from laboratories, there are four very rich sources in the herbal world. They are ALFALFA, RICE BRAN, WHEAT GERM and GARLIC. Ever since I was a little kid I have heard about people that had heart problems repairing themselves by eating Garlic. And I keep hearing it. Garlic is very penetrating. If you peel a little piece of the Garlic that grows under the ground known as a “button” and rub it on the sole of your foot, you will taste it in your mouth in a matter of minutes. Taken internally, it has a known detergent effect on the body and cleans it up. But now we are armed with the knowledge that there may be a basis in scientific fact for the idea that Garlic repairs heart problems. As far as Alfalfa is concerned, we know cows simply love to munch away at a field of fresh Alfalfa hay. They have these huge bodies and carry lots of fat and cholesterol on them. And yet, they don’t die of heart attacks. Now look at Wheat Germ, or we should say, the sprouting portion of the wheat grain. It is very much alive and can bring forth life in the form of a new plant. Wheat Germ has the added benefit of being loaded with all the forms of naturally occurring Vitamin E. It is well established that Vitamin E also destroys “Free Radicals”, oxygenates and strengthens the heart among other things. Today we know Wheat Germ also contains Co-Q 10. This is a real bonus. Rice Bran is also where the Vitamin B’s were first discovered. Among other vital functions, they are intimately associated with keeping energy flowing to the nerves and heart. Today we know this covering around the rice grain contains Co-Q 10. So, it makes good sense to reject white rice and demand Brown Rice with its bran covering. Of course a person could get really interested and take some capsules or liquid extracts of Alfalfa, Wheat Germ, Rice Bran and Garlic all in the same day every day. Who knows how long a person like this would live and continue to enjoy life. A word to the wise: You may have started taking one of those cholesterol lowering drugs that are so popular these days. Some medical doctors love them so much they would like to see them added to drinking water. If they made you feel “weird or “funny” after a while, check with your doctor. One reason for this may be, when you suppress the liver’s production of cholesterol, you also suppress the liver’s production of Co-Q 10. In that case you may want to really consider adding a food containing Co-Q 10 to your diet each day. If you take capsules of Co-Q 10 you should allow about three weeks before you get enough Co-Q 10 absorbed through the small intestine to start feeling its maximum effects. Liquid herbal extracts containing Co-Q 10 are much quicker.

WHY WE APPLY SOME LIQUID HERBS EXTERNALLY

All parts of the body do not absorb nutrients at the same rate. Some body parts need a little extra help. They may be weak, damaged or congested. For instance, the lymph glands may be stuffed with dead cells and poisons they just can’t eliminate. The liver may be stunned with the residues from harmful medications and the chemical poisons sprayed on our vegetables and fruits to kill bugs. The bone marrow may be congested with chemically altered and artificial trans-fats. You run into a kind of toxic waste dump in those parts of the body. These areas may need some special help. Take the herbs internally and also put them directly over the organs or glands that are in trouble, two or three times per day. In this manner you nourish, clean, oxygenate, erase electrical upset to the nerves and repair body parts much easier. This is, of course, the great flexibility you have with high quality liquid herbs that are easily absorbed and straight from nature the way the Creator made them.

HERBS ARE FOODS

Herbs are plant food substances. This is not a scientific definition it is a practitioners definition. It is used by the people who make recommendations about how to build better health naturally. If a person uses herbs they are an herbal practitioner. Herbs have been used since people began eating. They are not new and they were used long before there were people who called themselves doctors or scientists and they worked and they still do. A large amount of information concerning what herbs to use for what was intuitive and some trial and error as people sought out what helped them but what we now have is an impressive list of plants that build better health. There is a solution to every physical problem. It was meant to be that way. It is not experimental. The great religions of the world say much and give much information about the use of herbs. It has been said each person has an herb. Since there are so many physical differences between us, it stands to reason one herb may do more for a certain person than another but do not despair. There is an herb for you too. Often there are many herbs that are especially helpful for you, just waiting, to be discovered. Luckily when eating an herb if the wrong one is taken, nothing much happens and if you do eat too much of it, body mechanisms usually reject it and you leave it alone. Interestingly enough, an herb which tastes awful to a person may indeed taste very agreeable to the same person when it is needed. Part of the fun is discovering your herb or herbs and in the process an acquaintance with herbs that help other people is gained. One of the ways to tell what an herb will do is to taste a little of it. This is much easier to do with a liquid herb than a tablet or a capsule but in any case it should be done before you ask anyone else to try an herb so it will at least be known if what the label says is in the bottle. Practice has shown that even when two people have the same physical problem one may be helped more than another. This is because people are different and some folks are less ready to get well than others. Even when you know exactly what they need, they still find some way to keep it from working or a reason for not taking it. Never despair, that the herbs don't work. This is a cooperative team effort. The team is made up of the herb or herbs and they know what to do, the Creator who gave them to us and we would expect the Creator to be willing for anything good, the one who gave the advice, and the person using the advice. Each member of the team must do their part.

Then it works like the herb books says it does and that is what we can expect most of the time. Help those who are good team players.

It is widely accepted that foods do alter the structure and function of the human body. Herbs are natural food medicines in that respect. In this sense, the offerings in this flyer are intended as an addition to the diet for that purpose. They can and do alter the structure and function of the body favorably and if a dis-ease goes away then a person has been benefited by a change of diet. The concept of letting the foods we eat be our true medicines has been around for a long time, and proclaimed by many prominent practitioners, and what better way to do it. Regular drug medicines are concentrates, fractionates and synthetics. Many times they are made from plants to begin with but they are altered and the so called active principle is isolated and removed and concentrated. This creates an unnatural condition where man has tried to improve on nature by forcing the body to do something or numbing it. This is not the way to build health naturally. When you remove a substance from a plant in that manner you no longer have the other parts of the plant that act as controls to see to it that harmful side effects don't take place and that the natural medicine is absorbed at just the right rate. To make matters even worse, sometimes in the manufacture of drugs, portions of what have been removed from the plant have been altered in strange ways. Now we really get into harmful side effects. But the worst insult to building better health naturally is when a synthetic drug is made, usually from coal tar or petroleum, which may mimic nature or, which the body has never seen before and runs uncontrolled in the body, then it is anybody's guess what will happen. Then take the case of a person taking more than one drug at a time and these drugs interacting. A person literally becomes a walking experiment. This would be harmful to a well person, but think what it could do to a sick person.

An example of this would be where a person has headaches all the time because there is gas in the large intestine all the time. Powerful drugs are taken to relieve the pain and an ulcer of the stomach is created. Now the person still gets headaches and has the torture of an ulcer as well. The body was forced to stop feeling a headache at times despite the gas and a side effect occurred. Now an ulcer drug must be taken and the ulcer is not cured but the body does not feel the ulcer and all of a sudden there is a problem where the man can no longer perform as a man. Now we need a tranquilizer and it is taken. The tranquilizer keeps the nerves from being as upset but causes nightmares and the original headache is such a problem it is decided to cut the nerve in the brain which senses pain. Now the brain can not monitor and control the body as well, and all manner of drugs are needed to force the body to work. Each of these drugs can have its own side effects and interact with the others to cause more side effects. You can imagine the rest of the story. Wouldn't it have been easier to address the original problem and put some Ginger in the diet to aid the digestion and rapidly blow the gas out of the body through the nearest most appropriate exit? Then the headache would have gone away. We could have repeated adding ginger to the diet, until the digestive problem was finally resolved and the headache no longer occurred.

Please accept this offer to build better health naturally. The information in this flyer was written because you are respected and appreciated, and loved. Someone does care about you and would like to see you well. Herbs are your birthright. Discover yours.

EYES

E.-W

(EYES) - Eyes and visual machinery can be repaired. Increases circulation to eyes and optic nerve, retina and lens. Floods oxygen to the congested areas of the eyes. Pressure-causing sinus deposits are liquefied and strings of matter may be expelled from the eyes in the cleaning process. This is not an infection, but rather a cleaning of the material clogging up the circulatory and sinus passages around the eyes. Optic nerve reception is sharpened. A very serviceable eye wash can be made from 20 to 40 drops of E.-W in ½ cup of distilled water. Obtain a couple of plastic eye cups, fill with the dilution (the eye wash is best used when it is at room temperature to reduce stinging, which is a normal response as circulation improves), place over the eyes, lean the head back, and let them go swimming for 5 minutes, 3 times per day. Flutter the eyes around in the dilution. Flush out the congestion, revive the circulation to the eyes, improve the vision and flush out cataracts. If eyecups are unavailable, saturate two cotton balls with the dilution, hold over the upper bony ridge of the eyes and squeeze slightly so that drops can trickle into the eyes. Repeat until well. COMBINATION: Wood Betony, Eyebright, Bayberry. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops after meals. Also rub 40 drops on the sides of the nose, over the upper cheekbones and on the temples and forehead, 3 times per day, and as given above.

E.& E.-B

(EYES AND EARS) - Is designed with much care and understanding for the proper functioning of eyes and ears. This well-studied and formulated combination, was developed by the esteemed American Herbal Practitioner, Dr. William Horosh, to handle, even the most difficult of eye and ear problems. Many different body systems are being worked on with this combination in order to address a multitude of causes of eye and ear problems. In the process of this, attention is given to cleaning, nourishing, oxygenating, improving circulation, softening, and reconditioning many different body structures. This is so much the case that E.& E.-B has also been used by practitioners to act as rejuvenation of body systems in general. COMBINATION: All Heal, Bayberry, Gentian, Golden Seal, Gravel Root, Chickweed, Peach Leaf, Dandelion Leaf and Root, Purple Loosestrife, Eyebright, Wheat Germ, Ginger, Wood Betony. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day.

BILBERRY

(Huckelberry) In the 1920's the discoverer of Vitamin C, Albert Giorgy, was concerned about the "spark of life" and where it came from. After years of careful research he concluded it was Vitamin C that put and kept the spark of life in the body. When food is eaten, Vitamin C is the substance that puts life back into the food to make it part of the body's living tissue. We now know why Bilberries, Black Currents, Chippewa Pine and Wild Rose Hips are used for so many different conditions to recover good health. Bilberry is a good tasting berry that contains the much sought after natural Vitamin C. Natural Vitamin C is not just one vitamin, it is many related Vitamin C's. Therefore, we call it, more properly, Vitamin C "complex." Chemical Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is just one synthetic type of Vitamin C. Bilberries contain all of this naturally occurring complex and the related substances found with it. The compounds Rutin, Hesperidin and Bioflavonoids are found right along side the natural C "complex." These compounds are the "glue" that sticks your body together so it does not fall apart. Bilberries affect rapid repair of broken blood vessels and prevent them from breaking. Hence, you hear "take Bilberry to prevent bruising." The result of taking the natural C "complex" and related substances together as an extract is that of greater activity. They are far more active than a chemical Vitamin C and you don't have to keep increasing the amount as with chemical Vitamin C to get the same effect. In fact, historical evidence shows, Bilberries have been gratefully acknowledged for a very impressive array of help. Many are the conditions that fall within the influence of Bilberries. When we look at mineral sources, Bilberries are one of the highest known sources of the mineral zinc and provide a generous source of iron, manganese and selenium. Iron is required for energy, and both zinc and manganese are closely associated with production of healthy connective tissue. Selenium takes special care to ensure proper cell division and prevent harmful mutations. These prevented harmful mutations could very well have been cancerous or "bad cells." If not out-right cancerous cells, then they might have been seen by the body as "foreign protein," and set off a war between the body's immune system and this "foreign protein." This is the case with conditions like osteoarthritis and other autoimmune or allergic reactions where the body is fighting itself. According to current nutritional research, both zinc and selenium (from natural food sources) are active in ensuring proper cell division and the prevention of cancer cell formation. Bilberries are such a valuable source of so many essential mineral complexes, it is no wonder then, that a long list of healing actions have been recorded and attributed to this marvelous wild berry. Here is a partial list: Bilberries are a tonic (good for all body systems), strengthen and restore eyesight (it should be noted that many and persistent are the accounts of improvement in eyesight through the use of Bilberries, including correction of macular or "fine-focus" degeneration of the eye), correct tonsillitis, sore tongue, laryngitis, violent continuous diarrhea with blood loss, intestinal putrefaction, bowel disorders, act as a bowel regulator, mouthwash, gargle, discourage roundworms, and ease vomiting; apply directly for skin problems and inflamed gums; gastric colitis, water retention, typhoid fever, sore tongue with white patches, wound healing, rheumatism (sore joints), bladder problems, gravel in urinary system and mucus in breathing passages. All in all a very impressive champion of good health. Bilberries blend in with the body's natural functions to give them all a boost and herein lies their secret. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops on or under the tongue three times per day or hourly if condition is severe.

FLUID RETENTION

BLUE FLAG

The spectacular beauty of this iris is common throughout the U.S. Its presence adds a calming touch to the landscape. The root and underground stem afford us with a material capable of exerting a tremendous influence on all body fluids, digestive juices, blood stream, urinary flow, alimentary canal, glandular secretions and especially the lymphatics. Because of its great energies, it is often combined with other herbs to actually slow its function to prevent momentary discomforts during the cleansing process. In the goal of longevity, the Blue Flag finds its greatest role in the service of clean body fluid. NOTE: The properties discussed above are for only the Wild Blue Iris and Orris Root (Iris versicolor and Iris florentina). No other varieties. DOSAGE: One to five drops twice per day. Start with one drop twice per day.

CELERY SEED

Is a powerful diuretic (removes excess body fluid) for swollen conditions. The excess fluid exits through the urine and skin, and lungs and bowels. This eases the heart and lungs and kidneys, so they do not have to work in such a fluid cramped space. Not surprisingly, many joint and muscle problems clear up as Celery Seed takes out the irritating wastes, along with the water the body has been retaining, in an attempt to dilute the wastes to make them less harmful. DOSAGE: 40 drops to 1 teaspoonful three times per day.

MAYAPPLE

This deep woods and wayside umbrella shaped, Springtime blooming plant, not quite knee high, is a familiar sight in much of North America. The Mayapple root corrects the following conditions: bilious troubles (liver-gallbladder caused vomiting), dropsy (fluid retention), congestion of the liver, constipation, torpid (lazy, polluted) liver, lead poisoning, diarrhea, catarrhal (infected mucus congestion) or malarial jaundice (yellow skin), intermittent and remittent fevers, digestive upsets, headache, rheumatism (joint degeneration), syphilis, venereal warts, scrofula (swollen, infected lymphatics which can result in a variety of tuberculosis of the lymph nodes or "filters"), typhoid fever, prolapsed rectum (prolapsus ani), uterine dis-eases, pin worms, a specific for cancer of the testicle. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops three times per day. If cancer of the testicle, then open capsules of 100 or 400 i.u (International Units, a measure of liquid vitamins) Vitamin E and apply to the entire scrotum. Then apply Oil of Cajeput and Herbal Adjustment directly to the skin. Finally, soak a single layer of cheesecloth or absorbent gauze with Mayapple Extract and wrap this around the scrotum. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap and a cloth and wear with snug but not tight fitting under shorts. Leave on overnight. The next morning, remove the application and discard. Wash the area and allow to dry. Then repeat the application for the daytime. This is an around-the-clock, time-release corrective action. Persist until the condition is corrected. Be sure to use with a good bowel program (see: Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, C.C.E.-W) to carry off the wastes to avoid skin irritation. This same procedure can be followed for other body parts for the other conditions listed above, where practicable. Apply Mayapple to venereal warts as needed.

YERBA SANTA

From the Spanish language we have the name Yerba Santa, or, as we would say in English, "Herb Saint.” This herb of the high desert mountains in the desert southwest of the U.S., with its gray-white miniature trumpet flowers, has long been revered by the Spanish community as a life-saving lung herb. The clean refreshing scent and taste of Yerba Santa immediately suggest the relief it affords for removing mucus, draining fluid from lungs and their restoration to normal function. Take internally, 40 to 80 drops per day, or hourly as needed for relief. For serious cases of mucus and or fluid in the lungs, open capsules of 100 or 400 i.u. Vitamin E and rub into the areas of the chest and upper back. Soak a single layer of absorbent gauze or cheesecloth with Yerba Santa Extract and lay one layer over chest and one layer over the upper back. Then cover with plastic sandwich wrap and finally, a cloth wrap around the body or a T-shirt to hold all in place. Finally, take a plastic trashcan liner and make holes for the head and arms. Pull this over the head and wear like a nightshirt. Cover up warm and sweat it out. Change the application morning and night. Wash the area and allow to dry before applying a fresh application. During the sweating out period, give Yarrow Tea as a drink, one cup per hour, while awake. Prepare by the usual method of tea making by putting one rounded teaspoonful of the dry herb in a cup of hot water and let steep (set) for three or more minutes, then strain through a paper coffee filter, or put one teaspoonful of Yarrow Extract in a cup of water for an instant tea. For additional helpful herbs to remove mucus and fluid from the lungs: apply to the skin of the chest and back Herbal Adj. (Adjustment), Oil of Cajeput and Pleurisy Root to remove fluid from lungs and break up congestion. Caution: Do not get Oil of Cajeput or Herbal Adj. in the eyes, on underarm area or on private areas as they cause a burning sensation (not blistering) and it could be alarming if you are not aware that no actual damage is being done. DOSAGE: To breathe easier, take 40 to 80 drops three to four times per day or hourly, if needed. For other uses, as given above.

GOUT TYPE PROBLEMS

ALFALFA

This food, which has its name from the Arabic language is known as the "father of all foods." Alfalfa comes to us originally from Asia. It is always a matter of great humor for herbalists when some chemist isolates a new vitamin and discovers it is also found in Alfalfa. Alfalfa is very easy to digest as it contains at least eight active enzymes. These enzymes help a person to digest the food as well as the plant itself. Large quantities may be eaten for the purpose of relieving joint pains, repairing and maintaining bones, repair of stomach and as a source of hormonal nutrition for the all important pituitary gland. Alfalfa, due to a root system as deep as 125 feet, brings up a rich storehouse of Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Sodium. These minerals are in excellent balance for a healthy system. NOTE: Do not be concerned Alfalfa could contain harmful sodium. This is not saltshaker sodium. It is an organic plant sodium which nourishes the blood stream and promotes youthful, flexible joints and repairs the stomach. Alfalfa provides a balanced spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Deodorizes and prevents excess perspiration, stops hemorrhage, soaks up uric and lactic acid to prevent nerve irritation, lubricates joints, relieves pain, and is diuretic (relieves fluid retention). DOSAGE: Handful of capsules twice per day.

CHICORY

Much of the long stretches of calming, blue flowers blooming in profusion along the waysides and highways during July and August in North America are Chicory flowers. Its restful presence not only delights the eye with its beauty, as an herb, it delights the body. Liver, kidneys, spleen, lymphatics, stomach and urinary pathways are relieved and disgorged of their morbid wastes with unroasted Chicory root. A substance called inulin (a carbohydrate), which makes up about one third of the root, provides the hypoglycemic (low blood sugar sufferer) and the diabetic (high blood sugar sufferer) with a non-irritating source of food. Inulin does not require the pancreas gland to produce insulin and thus, the blood sugar levels have a better chance to return to normal. Liver bile (gall) is stimulated and heart disorders are helped by reducing nerve irritation. Gout and skin eruptions are reduced by neutralizing uric acid. Joint stiffness is alleviated by the same action. Stomach mucus, which inhibits absorption and prevents stomach juice secretion, is cleared away, restoring digestive function. During the U.S. War between the states when the Confederate troops could no longer get a steady supply of coffee, roasted Chicory root was consumed instead of coffee. To this day, some folks still add this roasted root to their coffee or, happily drink it instead of coffee, as a delightful herbal beverage. DOSAGE: 1 tsp per meal. Use with a good bowel program to eliminate the wastes loosened and dissolved by Chicory. (See: Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn or C.C.E.-W).

ELDERBERRY

Long esteemed through daily use for good health into great age, Elderberries have been passed on to us. In the United States, Michigan legend and folklore has endeared this plant for use in life extension. Much gratitude has been expressed by users in the relief of headache due to cold, shaking disorders, rheumatism, jaundice, kidney problems, epilepsy and syphilis. A wash for inflamed eyes can be made by 20 drops of the extract in one-half cup of distilled water. An extract of the flowers is held by many to be aphrodisiac (exciting sexual desire). DOSAGE: 1 tsp. per meal.

FIGS & FLAX

Heal the stomach. For those who suffer and wish the maximum in healing, coating qualities, with a sweet taste, Figs & Flax can be relied upon. Biblical information tells us that one of the old Prophets healed the king's ulcers with "green figs" (ripe figs). This wisdom has not changed. Flax Seeds soothe and heal injured body areas internally and externally on contact. Combined, these two old friends of the herbal world can be relied upon to repair sensitive and inflamed tissues. COMBINATION: Figs, Flax Seed. DOSAGE: To repair sensitive and ulcerated stomach, 40 to 80 drops per meal, and additionally, 40 to 80 drops in a little water anytime there is discomfort. Do avoid any known irritating substances, medications, food or drink.

Do consider drinking 1 pint of “Green Drink” daily, until well. (See: “Green Drink” in your Herbal Extracts books).

IMMUNITY

IM.S.-W

(IMMUNE SYSTEM BUILDER) - Father Sebastian Kneip, renowned natural practitioner of the 19th century, said "when you pass among the sick, chew Juniper Berries." A natural, immunity is provided by this wonderful and good tasting herb. The proof is that he and his staff were able to treat the sick and remain immune to their afflictions. Of course, Juniper Berries were also given to the sick so that they might recover, and recover they did, in legions. Marshmallow, Carpenter's Square, and Mullein, have long been noted as the remedies for swollen glands of the neck, under-arms, breast and reproductive areas. They provide a rapid and effective immunity for these areas. Sweet Root (Calamus Root) is the most prized remedy of the North American Indian Nation, the Chippewa, and was given to those who were called "hopeless." And they got well, even when it was a viral problem! Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla are not only poison antidotes for snake bite and venereal dis-ease, they also neutralize all manner of poisons. Bacteria, viruses and fungus, including infectious yeasts, not only give off poisons that make you feel terrible, they also weaken you even more by attacking the immune system itself. Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla handle this attack as well. Lapacho corrects inflammation of the reproductive organs and glands. The nutrition of some people, is not just bad, it is appalling. A body, which lacks tissue integrity, is the perfect breeding ground for infections, which roll over a feeble immune system that just cannot cope with the invasion. Reverse all this, eat decent food instead of "junk foods," and build your immune system so you can live well and without as much fear. Help your immune system and it will help you.

COMBINATION: Juniper Berry, Marshmallow, Mullein, Sweet Root, Carpenter's Square, Black Cohosh, Sarsaparilla, Lapacho. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, to build active immunity. 20 to 40 drops per day as a maintenance.

GOLDEN SEAL & ECHINACEA

Is a combination, blended together at the request of practitioners, of two potent antibiotic herbs. One very visual test of Golden Seal's quick antibiotic abilities is when applied externally to clear up Impetigo (a highly contagious skin condition characterized by numerous "crops" of puss filled eruptions). Golden Seal is also noted for its ability to act as a catalyst, that is to say, an agent which can make something work better and faster, or slower if needed, without being changed permanently itself in the process. Golden Seal gets the best out of other herbs it works with, as well as doing a first class job itself at the same time. Echinacea is also noted as a potent immune system builder, as well as a surgeon without a knife. Echinacea, in this respect, works very well on even chronic swellings and old walled-off conditions such as cysts. Be sure to use a bowel maintenance program with Echinacea or Echinacea combinations as it is very necessary to be able to empty the wastes that are being cut loose, otherwise nausea can occur. When giving Golden Seal for an extended period of time, be sure to give a B-Complex source as well, such as 80 drops of Rice Bran Extract 3 times per day, or a cup of regular milk yogurt, as Golden Seal may also kill the "friendly bacteria" that normally live in a healthy bowel and produce B-Complex. When Echinacea does its work, as the surgeon without a knife, to rid the body of old walled off debris or cysts or just debris, the bowels must be open to prevent a "sick feeling." (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, for bowel maintenance information) COMBINATION: Golden Seal, Echinacea. DOSAGE: Internally, 40 drops, 3 times per day. Externally, apply to the troubled area as needed. For cysts, apply directly to the skin, Vitamin E from 100 to 400 i.u. capsules (International Unit, i.u., a measure of liquid vitamins), Oil of Cajeput, and Herbal Adj. Then, saturate a single layer of absorbent gauze or natural fiber cheese cloth and lay this over the troubled area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and fix in place for overnight. The next morning, remove the application and discard it. Wash the area and allow it to dry. Then, repeat this procedure for the daytime. Repeat until well.

WILD CHERRY BK. “SPECIAL”

Is a liquid cough drop and much more. This natural antibiotic medicinal, with its much appreciated formula, incorporates all of the beneficial effects of Wild Cherry Bark to dissolve mucus, soothe inflamed and irritated membranes, and alleviate the suffering of coughs and colds. Wild Cherry Bark Special also contains two other valuable team players with their natural sources of Vitamin C. Wild Rose Hips and Bilberries are added to Wild Cherry Bark for their antibiotic and poison neutralizing properties, as well as a pleasing taste. COMBINATION: Wild Cherry Bark, Wild Rose Hips, Bilberries. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops per hour, while awake. If desired, allow a few drops at a time to trickle down the throat for maximum benefit. (For more information see: Wild Cherry Bark).

Multiple Sclerosis or MS Type Problems

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS OR MS TYPE PROBLEMS

In this condition the protective covering around the brain, spinal cord and nerves has been allowed to deteriorate. What must be done to correct the condition called Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is to repair the insulation on the surface of the brain and the spinal cord. Just like with an electrical cord, the insulation can get worn off and short circuits can cause big problems. The solution, in this case, is to repair and or replace the insulation by supplementing the diet with the nutritional materials that make up the covering of the brain and the spinal cord and the nerves in general. This process may also involve detoxification, eradication of viral involvement, general dietary supplementation and elimination of all “junk food.”

REPAIR AND REPLACE THE OLD INSULATION ON THE BRAIN, SPINAL CORD AND OTHER NERVES.

Internally take 10 capsules of LECITHIN derived from soybeans, 4 times per day. NOTE: Lecithin is normally made by the liver. It is an internal nutrient. However, the liver may not make enough. One basic problem is that people often do not eat enough Vitamin B complex foods and then the liver has nothing to make Lecithin from. This commonly occurs because of dieting or eating “junk foods.” A second basic problem is that people often put themselves under great stress at work or with personal problems. This wastes B Vitamins at a rapid rate. Thus a person gets depleted. A third basic problem is that people often take cholesterol lowering drugs. These drugs also cut down on the liver’s production of Lecithin, and other liver functions. The fourth problem is any combination or all of the above.

Read the labels.

PARASITES TYPE PROBLEMS

W.-W

(WORMS) Is for the elimination of worms and parasites of all kinds. This very widely used and enjoyed formula has taken on, and bested, parasites that aren't even listed in books yet, as well as those that are. This is a full spectrum approach to clearing the body area of all types of vermin. By incorporating the many-sided approach of the combination of Mugwort & Wormseed (SEE: Mugwort & Wormseed), and adding the other time-honored allies, Pumpkin Seed, Black Walnut, Male Fern and Cascara Sagrada, we have widened the approach and mechanisms of killing and eliminating parasites, thus making their escape virtually impossible. Because it has been observed and demonstrated that parasites can and do occur in just about any body part, including any of the organs, glands, blood and other circulatory fluids, muscles, brain and nervous system, a wide-spread approach in types of herbs that disable and kill parasites proves to be a very sensible choice. Pumpkin Seed is gentle and sure in the war against pinworms. Black Walnut has an added benefit of also gravitating to the nervous system to root out and terminate irritating and persistent vermin. It is slower than some other herbs, but very gentle and thorough. Male Fern Root specializes in the eradication of the tapeworm. Cascara Sagrada expels the degenerating dead parasites and prevents poisoning. COMBINATION: Mugwort, Male Fern Root, Pumpkin Seed, Black Walnut Hulls, Cascara Sagrada. DOSAGE: 80 drops to 1 tbsp. each evening until free of torment.

MUGWORT AND WORMSEED

Dr. Esch of Michigan State University, a world renowned parasitologist has indicated the incidence of parasites is so widespread that if all solid objects were to be swept away and leave only the associated parasites, the outline of buildings, people, animals and plants could yet be seen. Parasites prey only on an under nourished and waste-clogged system. When stagnant wastes occur due to improper bowel management (that is less than one elimination per meal eaten during the day), dregs back up in the body to any area available and provide the perfect breeding ground for pests. Mugwort and Wormseed may be used to swiftly eliminate them and taken as a daily maintenance program, prevent and halt their proliferation. Medical science has often been baffled by prolific, bewildering and bizarre symptoms that do not fit in with any known diagnosis. When this is the case, it would be safe to assume that the body is plagued by various parasites. NOTE: Wormseed is especially good for hookworm. Mugwort has a special effect against roundworm and tapeworm. Male Fern Root is used as a specific for tapeworm and is taken with a good laxative such as Cascara Sagrada. Black Walnut Hull is used especially for parasites outside the digestive tract. COMBINATION: Mugwort, Wormseed. DOSAGE: For the elimination of worms, the herbalist, Alma Hutchens suggests the following: "To expel worms with more success, plan to give the remedy during a full moon, as the tenants are more active at this time. "Omit the evening meal, give the prescribed DOSAGE and again in the morning before breakfast, followed by an herbal laxative, repeat for three days to make sure the larva are expelled." 40 to 80 drops is the customary amount for this action.

(GREEN HULL) BLACK WALNUT

This extract is made from the green hull of the Black Walnut, which covers the shell, and contains the nutmeat before the hull turns black. The extract is used as a safe method to kill body parasites without killing the person. DOSAGE: 40 drops three times per day.

HAIR

H.N.S.-W

(HAIR, NAILS, SKIN) – This combination should be used in cases of poor nails, hair loss, graying hair, and need for greater "body." When the skin is dry, cracking or flaking, the nutrients needed, will be found in this combination. Prevents peeling and splitting of nails and retarded nail growth. Splitting nails, peeling nails, or thin nails usually show results within 30 days. For hair problems, 9 months to one year of use may be expected to produce satisfactory results. In due course the hair may feel silky and resilient when rolled between the fingers as the mineral element silicon is replenished; hair will no longer split. Settles nerves in sluggish thyroid, warms up cold hands and feet and tip on nose. Promotes energy and weight loss by turning the body thermostat up to normal. The glow of health is the true friend of beauty. Enjoy it. COMBINATION: Dulse, Horsetail, Rosemary, Sage. DOSAGE: 40 drops, three times per day.

HR.-F

(HAIR-FORD) - This blend, was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Edna Ford. This formula came to be after much consideration and research as to which herbs would work together, not only for the hair, but would help the body in the process. The following herbs were chosen, as they have been known to help the body function better and help to produce good and healthy hair. Sage is known to be good for hair and has helped to restore the color of the hair to normal. It also helps in the stimulation of circulation to the head, brain, and memory. This formula is high in calcium, potassium, zinc, B-1, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, Vitamin A and C, and niacin. Horsetail is rich in silicon and selenium and is good for building the immune and nervous systems. Capsicum is a powerful stimulant for the circulation of the entire body, and the key to healing the body is good circulation. (Caution should be used to avoid getting capsicum into the eyes as it causes discomfort but should never cause harm). Rosemary is known to strengthen the hair and to aid in the prevention of premature baldness. It helps restore the hair to its natural color. It is an aid in digestion and is a stimulant and an antiseptic. It is high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium. Barberry aids in preventing baldness and helps to maintain hair. It contains Biotin (Vitamin H), and is high in calcium, chlorine, iron and sulfur. Yarrow helps prevent hair loss and is beneficial to the circulation of the entire body. It is high in potassium and phosphorus, medium in selenium and silicon, chlorine and inositol, magnesium and manganese. Royal Jelly is anti-bacterial and antibiotic and, when applied to the skin, aids in smoothness and repairs. It activates the immune system and is a complete B-Complex, high in Pantothenic Acid (B-5) and Pyridoxine (B-6). COMBINATION: Echinacea, Sage, Horsetail, Capsicum, Rosemary, Barberry, Yarrow, Royal Jelly. DOSAGE: This formula can be added to your shampoo- 10 to 20 drops depending on the size of your bottle. CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IN USING IT DUE TO THE CAPSICUM. Should you get it in your eyes rinse with cold water. It will bring circulation to the scalp and will be very warm feeling. When wearing a hat, it can even feel hot. It can be taken internally 10 to 60 drops in water each day depending on the strength you choose. Example: 10 drops 3 times each day in water; if your body can handle that much, then increase the amount taken to 20 drops 3 times each day. Simply be careful when putting it on the scalp to dilute it in water. Test it on one area to see how it feels, (more dilution may be needed). Be faithful in how you use it, whether in the shampoo, diluting it and gently rubbing it on the scalp, or taking it internally.

ROSEMARY

This well-known kitchen herb is the perfect complement for many types of fowl and enjoys widespread use the world over, as is the practice in New Zealand when the Maori people boil a wild turkey in hot volcanic springs. When Queen Elizabeth of Hungary, in the 14th Century, suffered from joint pains and found Rosemary, she regained her health so well that, at the age of 72, she was asked by the King of Poland to marry him. It is no wonder that the famous Eau de Cologne has as one of its COMBINATION, Rosemary. (Eau de Cologne means Water of Cologne and Cologne is a famous ancient city, which is now in the country of Germany, and gave its name to this scented water). Rosemary is a wonderful stimulant for the circulation. Frequent baths in Rosemary, used by herbalists, have reportedly given a new lease on life to the elderly, anemic sufferers, the depressed, those with nerve pains and convalescents. Rosemary is a diuretic (removes excess water from the body) and a nerve relaxant; thus, anxiety and insomnia can be remedied. For the woman, it can make the period regular and clear up feminine disorders when used internally and taken as a frequent douche. The hair can be encouraged to retain and regain its color by the use of Rosemary as an application to the scalp each night or taken internally. Nor should we overlook its diuretic action to ease complaints of the lower back due to kidneys. Rosemary may be used as an enema to clean out offending wastes, which cause irritation and thus stop the diarrhea. For the gentle touch with lasting benefits, Rosemary may be your herb. DOSAGE: For the bath, one teaspoon to one tablespoon in the bath water. For the scalp, 20 to 40 drops applied directly each night. As a douche, one teaspoon, to a cup of distilled water. For circulation and as a diuretic, 20 to 40 drops, three to four times per day. For preparing a wild turkey, one tablespoon added to the inside of the turkey before heat is applied.

HEART

H.T. COMB. – Heart herbs which nourish the heart and repair valves, reduce swelling, restore feeble heart action, open congested heart blood vessels that are clogged, very slowly, so that the congestive debris is liquified and flushed harmlessly from the body. “Living heart insurance policy”; grow your own new heart instead of a transplant. You have a new soft tissue body every four months. Make it a better one. You can make a tremendous difference in a years time with the regular use of Heart Tonic and walking for exercise. HAWTHORN: Long kept the secret of a Scottish physician, old hearts were traded for new ones. Nature's own transplant was achieved as a new heart grew into the place of the old, defective one. Hawthorn feeds the heart muscle directly. It opens closed and cramping blood vessels to prevent coronary infarction (heart attack due to spastic blood vessels). Hawthorn is engineered in such a way that opening blood vessels occur without trapped debris clogging up a blood vessel somewhere else as it is released. MYRRH: Myrrh is the gummy, bitter, exuded resin from the bark of thorny trees in the Middle Eastern countries. It was one of the three gifts given to Jesus of Nazareth at his birth. Myrrh has the undisputed reputation to function in the binding up of wounds and as a healer of open wounds. It is truly fit for a king. It is now known that Myrrh is extremely effective in speeding up the flow of sluggish circulatory fluid by a factor of four to one. This along with its catalyst (regulatory) properties with other herbs make it beneficial for the heart and the circulatory system. The heart's thirst for circulation is quenched by its use. MOTHERWORT: This bitter mint is part of the common knowledge of many Indian nations. It receives top honors as their heart medicine. Not only does it calm the nerves and prevent spasms, but acts as a tonic and helps regulate the menstrual cycle. Motherwort removes obstructions especially of the mucous type. The nerves to the heart and arteries are calmed and supported. Motherwort is a specific for albumen (egg white in the urine). GENERAL REMARKS: Seldom has there been a more satisfying experience for a Naturopathic Doctor than, over a period of weeks or months, to hear a weak and enfeebled heart build itself back to a strong and even rhythmic contraction with the sound of a kettle drum, and to watch pressure subside to a normal level. With the leading cause of death today statistically stated as heart failure, action is needed. Routine examination reveals the spread of heart dis-ease to be nearly universal. As always, prevention today is yet the rescuer from miseries. A living health insurance policy might be afforded for us by the daily intake of known heart herbs. COMBINATION: Hawthorn, Myrrh, Motherwort. DOSAGE: 20 drops, twice per day for one week, and thereafter, 40 drops, twice per day. If capsules are preferred, three capsules three times per day. NOTE: The Hawthorn in this combination enthusiastically clean out waste nitrites and nitrates from the heart area in their haste to prevent disaster. When this occurs, slight twinges or stings may occasionally be felt around the heart area. There is no cause for alarm, as no actual damage is occurring, only good things. Usually, after about a week, this work is done and the amount taken can be increased to 40 drops, twice per day, without alarming a
person.

LILY OF THE VALLEY & BLESSED THISTLE
Nature has provided us a wondrous, miraculous remedy for the deterioration of heart muscle, heart valves, heart pain in chest, heart pain in left arm and stagnant blood in the veins, delivers oxygen to oxygen-starved heart and brain, repairs blood vessels, improves memory. When lilacs bloom, look also for the perfumed scent of Lily of the Valley. The delightfully perfumed little white bells herald the presence of the heart's friend. The most active part is the root. Herein reside the glycosides that correct acute heart failure, cardiac edema, heart valve insufficiencies and dilation of the heart chambers. Small arteries that feed the heart itself are assisted in their circulation to prevent and correct coronary infarction (cramped heart blood vessels, usually fatal). A powerful effect is exerted on the pumping chambers of the heart making it beat slower and giving it more force. 5 to 40 drops on the back of the tongue will stop chest pain more or less instantly without the possible side effects of Digitalis (Foxglove). There is no harmful buildup in the blood stream as it is not stored for more than a few hours. The leaves and flowers also show some activity but are not as strong. Jesus of Nazareth made reference to Lilies of the Valley and was aware of their splendid presence when he pronounced them more beautiful than Solomon in all his glory. We are indeed grateful to this day for that recognition and their potential to help the heart. NOTE: Other practitioners have been frightened of this little lily because of its similar function to Foxglove, but herbal practice has not supported their fears to be warranted. As with any herb, however, if you feel you have noticed consistent unpleasantness to an herb, either lower the dose or discontinue its use. COMBINATION: Lily-of-the-Valley, Blessed Thistle. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops per meal, or three times per day. If chest pains, then 40 drops at once.

BUGLEWEED – Bugleweed was rediscovered during the latter part of this century by a great living, Amish herbalist, Solomon Wickey, for heart conditions. Acts chiefly on blood vessels to relax them to normal size, while healing inflammation of the blood vessel caused by heart problems, self-intoxication (poisons generated internally) and chronically deteriorated hearts. The action of Bugleweed on the heart itself is to reduce the pulse to a normal speed and add power to each heart contraction. All this, with no harmful side effects. Additionally, we have here an excellent tonic for the whole system, which settles the stomach and normalizes the appetite. Well before 1880, Bugleweed was used for relief of insomnia, curing diabetes and correcting "egg-white" in the urine (albuminuria). Bugleweed stops hemorrhaging of blood from lungs and intestinal hemorrhaging with blood in the stool. Bugleweed reduces irritation to the intestine from diarrhea and stops diarrhea. Bugleweed expels mucus and pus from lungs due to old, chronic, dry coughs, and is a recognized tuberculosis remedy. It has often been said that using Bugleweed is like having a combination of the herbs Fox Glove (digitalis), Blood Root (Red Root), Black Cohosh and Wormgrass. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops after each meal or every four hours while awake during crisis period. Bugleweed can also be rubbed on the chest and back several times a day to amplify and assist its internal use.

HERBAL EXTRACTS

Herbal Extracts are an herbal food or combination of foods, diluted in liquids such as distilled water and grain neutral spirits, that may be used as a “natural medicine.” Grain neutral spirits are an alcohol distilled from grain and are also known as a neutral alcohol. Some people choose to make their herbal extracts with a cheap synthetic spirit made from things such as explosive ethylene gas. Unless you ask, you might not know from reading their labels. Because we care about you and your health we use a neutral spirit made from food.

A frequently asked question is what herbal extracts are and why do they contain a natural or neutral alcohol. Herbal extracts are herbal plant foods that have been diluted in a liquid that dissolves and or suspends them. They are “natural medicines.”

An herbal extract can be made with something which allows an herb to dissolve in it. This can include most common liquids, such as distilled water, vinegar, wine, glycerin (sugar and fat compound most commonly derived from animal tissue) or a neutral alcohol. When you put an herbal tea bag into a cup of hot water, the color, taste, and aroma which dissolve into the water make an herbal extract (or water extract). However, some parts of the herb in the tea bag do not dissolve in water. Water will not dissolve the oily, waxy, detergent, enzymatic or hormonal content of the herb. Vinegar, wine and glycerin will dissolve a small amount of this.

The fact is, a combination of distilled water and a neutral alcohol is the best fluid known for dissolving all parts of an herb. A water and neutral alcohol extract provide an herbal food in a “predigested” form. It should be noted that when you get the full strength of an herbal food, a little goes a long way. So don’t overeat. This is a “natural medicine” made from an herbal food. The concept of moderation is the key. Extracts are intended to be used to supplement the diet with herbal foods in an easily absorbable form. Most people are not even aware that they may be carrying around as much as ten pounds of rather disgusting debris coating the surfaces of their digestive canal: stomach, small and large intestines. This debris forms a barrier between the food which is eaten and the absorption of the needed nutrition. This means the digestive system needs some help. When you take a look at the digestive canal of the adult, you see a tube or pipe about 26 feet long which is often clogged or very slow to empty due to debris or worse yet, if not eliminated, this putrid barrier film can itself be constantly reabsorbed back into the body. Not only is this barrier of debris bad for absorption of commonly eaten foods, but also herbal powders, herbal powders in capsules, herbal pills, and vitamin tablets. An efficient method is needed to get herbal foods absorbed through this barrier film and dissolve the barrier itself. Otherwise, herbs will not nourish and act like the health food books say they should. Herbal extracts solve this puzzle. Not only can they cross the debris barrier, they do so rapidly and help to dissolve the barrier in the process. This eliminates the problem of having to take “114 tablets and capsules per day to finally get something through the debris barrier and dissolve it”. As a matter of fact, an herbal extract can be applied externally right over the area where required. This, of course, would be difficult to do with a capsule of powdered herbs or a tablet.

Depending on the quantity, a neutral alcohol performs different functions when introduced into or put on the body. In minute quantities (drops), it acts as a carrier for whatever is dissolved in it. The water, herb (s) and alcohol in a finished product form an association or complex which can actually show up as a lower amount of alcohol than you started with. The dissolved herbal food substances in this kind of liquid are very easily absorbed by the body. In larger quantities, alcohol acts as a stimulant. By the glassful, alcohol acts as a depressant to body functions and an intoxicant. This constitutes abuse rather than use. A person can tell the difference.

Dr. William Donald Kelly, author of many books on natural ways to become more healthy, tells us that the human pancreas (principal digestive organ of the body) actually produces a small amount of a natural, neutral alcohol on a constant basis so that we will not freeze. As a further observation, most mouthwashes and deodorants utilize a fairly high percentage of alcohol which acts as a carrier for mouth and breath cleansing substances or deodorant. In many cases, these are extracts of cleansing and aromatic substances. The alcohol acts as a carrier. If a person can use a mouthwash or underarm deodorant, they can probably use an herbal extract without a problem. If they cannot use them without a problem, then they should probably use capsules, tablets or teas.

A fair question might be how much neutral alcohol should an extract contain? Roughly, a mixture of one-third neutral alcohol and two-thirds distilled water will dissolve enough of the herb so that a person gets the proper nourishment in a few drops of the extract. When you add more distilled water, then you need more extract to do the same thing. An extract could be made with so much distilled water that you would have to consume bottles of the extract to achieve the same nutritional value you could get in a few drops of a one-third neutral alcohol extract.

DIGESTION TYPE PROBLEMS

A.G.-W

(ANTI-GAS) - Many people have gas problems and don't know it. Yes, it is possible to have chest pains and pressures in the chest from gas below the diaphragm muscle pushing up on the heart and lungs and irritating them until a condition is caused. When people experience "bloat" it is not always water retention, just as often it is trapped gas. A Colonic Therapist (a trained practitioner who assists you to bathe the colon or large intestine internally) knows what problems you can experience trying to get a pocket of gas out of the way so the water and waste material can move in the direction they should. A colonic bath goes much smoother without trapped gas. A.G.-W brings you relief within seconds or minutes so you may wish to be alone when you try it. You may be surprised. COMBINATION: Ginger, Fennel, Catnip, Angelica, Peppermint Leaves. DOSAGE: 20 to 40 drops on or under the tongue or in water. For babies with colic (gas pains), rub 5 to 10 drops, as needed, on the stomach under the ribs.

D.-W

(DIGESTION) - Stomach problems of all kinds, coats and heals stomach sores, helps digestion, stops bloating. This combination contains Gentian (gin'-chin) to normalize stomach acid and support the all important pancreatic functions, Ginger to prevent and expel gas, Juniper Berries to reduce fluid build up and Safflowers, taken since Roman times, to gentle the stomach. COMBINATION: Gentian, Ginger, Juniper Berries, Safflowers. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops after meals.

FIGS & FLAX

Heal the stomach. For those who suffer and wish the maximum in healing, coating qualities, with a sweet taste, Figs & Flax can be relied upon. Biblical information tells us that one of the old Prophets healed the king's ulcers with "green figs" (ripe figs). This wisdom has not changed. Flax Seeds soothe and heal injured body areas internally and externally on contact. Combined, these two old friends of the herbal world can be relied upon to repair sensitive and inflamed tissues. COMBINATION: Figs, Flax Seed. DOSAGE: To repair sensitive and ulcerated stomach, 40 to 80 drops per meal, and additionally, 40 to 80 drops in a little water anytime there is discomfort. Do avoid any known irritating substances, medications, food or drink.

GENTIAN

This invigorating tonic is handed down to us from the very early antiquity of medicine, from the Greeks, Arabs and others, long forgotten. In Germany & Austria, it is customary in pubs to include on the shelf, a little clay jug with a glazed finish and the characteristic blue Gentian flower and is dispensed under the name Enzian (Gentian) as an immediate remedy of over indulgence. While its taste does not immediately recommend its use, its effect is sought after and a person learns to appreciate its taste for that reason. Its roots contain a vast quantity of condensed oxygen, thus occurs an exhilarating tonic action. Recognized medical use from the time of antiquity to date would fill a volume all its own. Perhaps it is best for us to think of it as containing six powerful digestaids. The Dispensatory of the U.S. offers this word of highly significant and workable advice in the use of Gentian: "It is the condition of the stomach and the system generally, not the name of the dis-ease which must be taken into consideration when prescribing it. There is scarcely a complaint in which it cannot be advantageously given under all circumstances." At once a person sees a prevailing philosophy by which the herbalist is often considered to work miracles. While diagnostic machines with mysterious names and "buzzers and lights," are no doubt impressive and expensive, they are not necessary to building better health naturally. What is necessary is to know the remedy and use it. Beyond this, happy chemists in their sterile towers can busy themselves finding the mechanisms of herbs or why a remedy works the way it does. When they do, we will be receptive to hear their findings, as it will be interesting. But for the herbalist, building better health is as simple as recognizing we do have herbal solutions for physical problems, seeing what herbs are needed to get at the root cause of the malfunction in that area of the body and using it. Then health returns and we are all happier. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops following meals or more if overindulgence demands.

ST.-W

(STOMACH) -One of the old prophets in the Holy Bible healed the king's ulcers with ripe figs. It still works. In today’s "modern" environment we have this old friend, along with those herbs, which have also been known to repair ulcers and stomach maladies of many kinds, as a support team for this base of ripe figs. ST.-W was originally designed for "lawyer's stomach." It is a true statement to say, "I have never met a lawyer with a good stomach." They eat other people's problems all day long, and sometimes all night as well. In addition, they have been known to devour bridges, buildings and all their fixtures, pavement, right-of-ways, whole forests, land, cars and the like, boats, airplanes, bank accounts and various intangibles. This is a stress on their digestive system. It is our herbal contention, if an herbal formula will handle even a "lawyer's stomach," it will handle about anyone's stomach. ST.-W does handle "lawyer's stomach." ST.-W repairs stomach lining, coats walls of stomach, heals ulcers, also intestinal ulcers and urinary tract ulcers. Keeps surface of stomach, intestines and colon soothed with a healing, breathing patch to prevent irritation, while actively pursuing the healing process. COMBINATION: Figs, Flax Seed, Bitter Aloe, Dandelion Root. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops before meals. If working on intestinal ulcers, take as much as 1 tbsp. 3 to 4 times per day.
