"Carry Herbal Adjustment with you at all times, the life you save could be your own! In September 2007, my husband was working with a chain saw on our land. I heard the work stop and approximately an hour later he showed up at the camper. I noticed his left pupil enlarged twice the size as the right. His voice was slurred and very hard to understand. The left side of his mouth was dropping down almost to the chin and he was completely confused. It was obvious he had suffered a stroke. I still wonder how he made it back to the camper. I immediately started giving him doses of Herbal Adjustment. First dose was four droppers full or approximately 80 drops of Herbal Adjustment in a dixie cup of water, five minutes later I repeated the dose, 10 minutes later another dose. By the third dose his left pupil and sagging mouth were back to the same size as the right. The doses of Herbal Adjustment were administered every two hours from this time for the rest of the first day. I added Sassafras (four droppers full or approximately 80 drops, four doses per day) to thin the blood and Chestnut Leaf (four droppers full or approximately 80 drops, four doses per day) to prevent any blood clots from forming along with his vitamin, Vita-Lixir (one dropper full or approximately 20 drops per day) . He was still very confused and having trouble with feeling and movement in the left arm and legs. Walking was strained and he had to think about every step. That evening I needed to hold the bowl while he ate soup. By the third day he was walking without holding onto the walls, eating on his own and talking much better. Within two weeks he was sitting on the backhoe while my son drove the tractor. He continued to get better and better every day! He was driving within a month and within a couple of months the slur in his voice was unnoticeable. At this time I decided to add Mel-W to his daily herbs to repair any remaining damage to the brain message centers. By the time two months had passed no one would ever have guessed he had gone through a stroke. Thank you all at Pure Herbs for the excellent products you produce and I thank the Lord for bringing me to Pure Herbs. It saved my husband from years of rehabilitation." —C.D.D., Jefferson, O

"I just wanted to write a little testimony about my daughter. One morning she got up from bed and she was sick. She couldn’t walk and she was shaking all over. We took her to the hospital and she was there for three days and they could not find out what was wrong with her. They took all kinds of tests each day and we thought they would surely figure out what was wrong with her. After three days of testing they said everything is clear so we asked if we could take her home. They cleared her to go home, but we still had no answer as to what was wrong with her. We decided to go see Paul Hilty and he put her on some herbs. Within a week we noticed a big difference in her. She could walk again, she got up in the morning without crying and went to eat breakfast which she hadn’t been doing. She also played with the other children whereas before she would just sit on my lap and cry. After about two weeks she said, ‘mom I don’t shake anymore’. The biggest thing about this improvement is we didn’t even give her the herbs internally because we could not get her to take them because her stomach was so upset. We decided to just put the same amount of the herbs that she was supposed to take internally, into a bit of warm water and had her soak her feet in it for about 15 mins. twice a day. When she was finished with soaking her feet the water had a black color. Thank you Paul Hilty! We now have a completely different daughter. She is five years old and is now very active. The herbs used in the foot soak were: Black Cohosh, Licorice Root, H.M.E.-H, Chlorella and Bladderwrack (4 oz. bottle of each applied externally. We also used a 1 oz. bottle of Arnica Oil Blend which was applied externally)." —The Schwartz’s, Reading, M

"Just wanted to let our readers know how true and pure, Pure Herbs products are! I began taking Pure Herbs through a distributor named Lamar Harris. He supplied my first bottle of herbs (Vita-Lixir) at his own expense. I had been diagnosed by doctors with severe hypoglycemia and they said I must take a Prozac type medication to help me accept that I would never work again. The doctor put me on high blood pressure medication because I was fainting on a regular basis and basically told me to go home and never live. Larmar met me at the mailbox one day and asked what was wrong because I looked so sad. I told him what was going on and he said he was going to bring me something back and it wouldn’t cost me anything. I just had to believe that it could help me. From that day forth, I have no hypoglycemic sickness. I only lacked protein in my diet which I now take in liquid form from Pure Herbs. I also take Three Bee’s, C.C.E.-W, A.C.S. and Mugwort and Wormseed. I no longer have high blood pressure! I live a great life and have helped many others, just as I was helped to correct and live again! I took it one step at a time and my body is healed of sickness and disease! After many years of success I just want to say . . . Thanks Pure Herbs!" —L. K. O., Clinton Twp, MI

"I was notified by my son’s school to come and pick him up because he was sick. To my shock upon arrival I witnessed the most horrifying sight a mother could ever see! My son had experienced an allergic reaction to something he had eaten and his face had swollen like he had been in a championship fight. Luckily at this time, I am taking an herbal practitioners class and I immediately called my teacher, Dawud Rahaman to find out what he thought I should give to my son. He suggested Black Cohosh, Virginia Snake Root, C.C.E.-W. I also looked in my herbs and condition book and read about L.A.S.-JB which is for quick relief of allergic reactions. Once I arrived at the Pure Herbs office and received the herbs, I immediately gave him the L.A.S.-JB. I gave him 1 capsule broken open and I poured the powder into his mouth, followed by water and the rest of the liquid herbs. Before I got to the highway to head home (about 7 minutes from the Pure Herbs building) I could literally see his lips decrease in swelling and his eyes appeared a bit smaller. Within two days he was completely healed. Thank God for the herbs that He has placed here for our food and nourishment and thank you Pure Herbs for being wise enough to make them available for all who have the knowledge of them." —T. H., Detroit, MI

"I was having heart palpitations when I was in bed at night trying to sleep. I think they were due to stress or menopause. I spoke with my sponsor and she recommended I try Hawthorne for my heart. It didn’t take long, about three or four weeks, before I noticed that my heart had become stronger and I was able to breathe deeper and relax more. Thanks Pure Herbs for giving me back a strong heart." —Julie, Cary, N

"I am so excited to share with you my experience. At first I thought the rash on my neck was due to a yeast type infection. Through Experimentation, that was ruled out. I found a ring like, itchy rash growing in a circular pattern, which spread, but eventually stopped at the end of my shaving area of the neck. This alerted me that whatever the cause, it lived in my thick hair shaft follicles. This immediately prompted me to Mugwort and Wormseed. Not wanting to mess around, I rubbed it only on one side of my neck to determine the effect (the scientific guy that I am). After several days my left side cleared up, while my right side did not. After that I then consumed it liberally to cleanse the invaders from the inside. Once again proof that, indeed, the Pure Herbs did their intended job! This won’t stop me from eating Sushi, since now I know that I have ‘natural defenses’ on my side! Thank you for sticking to purity and potency in your herbs." —Dr. John Saab, W. Bloomfield, MI

"I had hives this summer and the only thing that gave me any relief was Ol’ Number 11. I used a Q-tip and dotted each area with the Ol’ Number 11 and applied it twice. By the next day it was 2/3 better. After three days most areas dried up. New little bumps would appear occasionally because of the terrible heat in humid Kentucky. But, again with each spot I applied the Ol’ Number 11 and it would help clear it up quickly. I also used Red Clover Blended internally, which I think helped clean and purify my blood. Thank you for such a great product." —B. R., Gamaliel, KY

"I work in a printing company bindary and my hands were sore, cracked and red like a lobster. Skin Lotion Plus #102 healed my hands back to normal within a week of use. Also, I really like the scent. It’s the best hand lotion on earth!" —M.M., Warren, M

"A friend was in a hurry to get to church and forgot that her stove was self-cleaning. She put her left hand onto the burning hot stovetop! Oh, the pain! Her index finger had a long, nasty looking blister running down it lengthwise. Her middle finger had a blister half the size of the first. The third finger also had a tiny blister. Her daughter called me and told me what had happened so I told her I would meet her at the church with some herbs to put on the burns. She trustingly drove 35 miles while holding an ice pack in her left hand. When she saw me she cried, ‘The pain is terrible! Even with the ice pack it hurts so badly!’ Since the blisters had not ruptured the skin, I quickly applied Arnica and Knitbone Extracts and the Skin Lotion Plus #102 directly onto the fingers (NOTE: the extracts may sting if it is an open wound, so use the Skin Lotion Plus #102 before applying the extracts). Within seconds she exclaimed, ‘Oh, that feels good! Look it’s not red!’ She was in awe at how fast the pain and swelling were dissipating. I continued applying two applications of the herbs on her fingers when it began to look dry, which was about every 10-15 minutes. After 2 1/2 hours, the blisters had gone down, except a small bump on her index finger and the pain was 90% gone. She kept repeating, ‘Look it isn’t red anymore and it feels so much better!’ she continued to apply the herbs at regular 20-30 minute intervals for the rest of the day. Monday she applied the herbs about six times and a few times on Tuesday and Wednesday. Seven days later her fingers looked awesome! There was no skin discoloration, redness, swelling or scarring. Also, the blistered skin was gently flaking off! She was thrilled! And the Winner is . . . Pure Herbs, Ltd.!"—.P.C., Valley View, TX

"This morning while I was getting ready for work, my husband asked me what the Vane Eaze Lotion, which had been left on the toilet seat ledge, was for? I asked him, ‘Why’? He then repeated the question and I told him it was for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Then I once again asked him ‘Why’? He told me that the night before he had applied the Vane Eaze to his shins, which had really been aching and that the aching was gone. He also applied it to his feet, which had been going numb and to his ankles, both of which have very wide and protruding veins. He said that after a few minutes of applying the Vane Eaze, the veins relaxed, restored circulation and became smaller. The relief gave him a much needed restful nights sleep. While he was telling me all of this, he was busy applying the Vane Eaze all over his legs before leaving for work. When he got home later that evening, I asked him if his legs had bothered him at all and he said they had not. I can’t wait to see the long term effects of such a wonderful product! By the way, my husband has Type II diabetes, so I am going to have him try the DB.8-W. He spends many hours driving a truck and his legs and feet have become very bothersome. I’m hoping by using the DB.8-W we can work from the inside out too! Thank you Doc for another great formula!" —B.J., Clinton Twp., MI

"I have recently bought herbs from your company and I thank God for these herbs and people like you who obey His word. I had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I had battled it for three years. Only by the grace of God I was healed by the second set of Chemo, took two more sets and required a stem cell transplant. My own stem cells. Today, because of my precious Lord I am healed in Jesus name. My aunt Diane Joles introduced me to your products and they are amazing! I have rapid heart beat and palpitations, I take Kava Kava for that and it also helps me sleep. I also take MPS.-I for hot flashes and it takes care of them. My son and daughter also use the herbs. My son was diagnosed with being stressed out and passing out. Instead of Calononpen he takes N.-W and it really works! It totally clears his head and calms him. My daughter takes H.N.S.-W and it works and she loves it! We also take many other herbs. We feel the difference! We will be trying other herbs real soon! Your friend in Christ."—S. P., Granite City, IL 

"With special appreciation and gratitude to Pure Herbs products and to all of its affiliates! I wish to present you with the following notes: The products that stand out the most for me at present are, O.C.-M and C.S.-W. When I take these two with pomegranate juice they go down easily. I take these products before aerobic exercise, even when I just go for a walk, and the results are astounding for me! My blood pressure has dropped significantly. I breathe easily now. I struggle with shortness of breath on exertion, asthma and at bed time I use a C.P.A.P. machine for obstructive sleep apnea. All of this has to do with the way I breathe and I am saying that these products have improved my blood pressure and the breaths I take are less stressful and more relaxed making life a little easier for me. Thank you ever so much! Consider this my first testimonial with many more to follow. If you knew my story you’d know that any improvement is of significant value and worthy of mention and appreciation." —Ken, Lenox, MI

"When my $5000.00 Pure Herbs order arrived, I was concerned about the location where the UPS man had left the order. It could easily be knocked over by one of the company’s forklifts. So, I went out to move it to a safer place and while doing so I tripped over my own feet and landed on my knee. It didn’t hurt too badly, but immediately I applied Arnica Extract to my wounded knee and had no more pain until much later in the day. I reapplied the Arnica and was pain free again. Before bedtime I applied another dose and the next morning I was still pain free!" —C.H., Iowa

"I have struggled with water retention for the past five years. No medications have helped. I now take Celery Seed and Alfalfa capsules and have absolutely no water retention anymore. No more stiffening or swelling! My rings now fit and I’ve lost body inches! Thank you Pure herbs!" —K. S., Warren, MI 

"One hot summer day this lady was having a ‘hot flash’. She was turning red and covered in sweat. I asked her if I could help her. She replied, ‘YES’! I gave her one squirt of Peppermint Oil and told her to put it on her temples, back of her neck and across her forehead. I also told her to rub it on both of her arms. Within seconds she was no longer heated or sweaty. She was as cool as a spring breeze!" —K. B., Detroit, MI 

"Vane Eaze . . .What a fantastic product!!! When I started using the Vane Eaze I immediately felt a difference. Those little spider veins are not only unsightly, but are uncomfortable. The varicose veins feel and look better! The smell alone is wonderful! I use this product two times per day, after my shower and before I go to bed at night. For me the citrus smell helps me to relax. I would suggest ordering two tubes . . .One for you and one to share with another."— M., NJ

"We have used Spikenard and Oregon Grape internally (at a rate of 40 drops two times per day) for our son’s severe case of acne with incredible results. Nearly completely disappeared within a month. Thank you Pure Herbs for making God’s creation available to us in liquid form for quick results." —A.A., Aurora, CO

" My friend’s sister has Diverticulosis and she was in pain all of the time. Myself and a few friends put our heads together and came up with an herbal program for her along with a special diet. That is something the doctors didn’t do. Within a month or two she was out of pain. Here is what we did: Green drink 3x’s/day, Cascara Sagrada 1 capsule/day, Psyllium Seed Husk 2 capsules/day, Gentian 8-10 drops 3x’s/day, goats milk, barley broth, grains, no fried foods, no red meat and no skin or batter. She mostly ate chicken, turkey, fish or olive oil. Thank God for Pure Herbs." —C.S, Warren, MI

"I was having problems with my eyes. They would get blurry and burn when I read for too long and I couldn’t read small print anymore. I called my upline and she told me to take Bilberry. Within a few weeks of taking the Bilberry my eyes have improved tremendously. They don’t get blurry or burn when I read and I can see the small print again. Thanks Pure Herbs for giving me my eyesight back!" —J.N, Cary, NC

"I have been using T.G. & P.-W for teeth sensitivity, gum bleeding and gum pain. Since using this product, my problems have improved in less than a month without the side effects prescriptions the dentist prescribed caused. I will also save a bunch of money and unnecessary pain by not having deep root cleanings since I’ve found the T.G. & P.-W. I take it internally and also use it in my water pik. Thank you Pure Herbs and Dawn Upchurch!!!" —V.L., Walled Lake, MI

"I am 13 years old. The summers here in California are very hot, and the sun is intense. I spent five hours in the pool yesterday and badly sunburned my face. I applied the Skin Lotion Plus #101 twice within an hour before bed. I was very surprised to wake up less than 12 hours later and find my sunburn completely gone. I have never experienced this quick of a recovery from a sunburn. This lotion is the best! Thank you Pure Herbs, Ltd!" —P. F., Valencia, CA

"Hoodia extract has been a great asset to my weight loss program. I started using Hoodia when I joined Weight Watchers this past Nov. I take Hoodia twice a day, on an empty stomach, between breakfast and lunch and before supper. It has curbed my cravings for sweets and assists me in keeping portions of food reasonably sized. To date, I have dropped 27 unwanted pounds and it’s a great adjunct to the Weight Watchers program . For my needs, I take 15-20 drops 2x-3x/day prior to meals (about 1/2 hour before meals). I know that Pure Herbs Hoodia is of high quality and this is always a great assurance." —S. K., Hendersonville, NC

"I have a wonderful testimonial. Our six year old son has suffered with the croup, usually twice a year, for the past several years. We looked for an alternative to the syrup usually given, which contains steroids. We purchased a bottle of Garlic & Mullein Oil. At the onset of the croup, we gave him one teaspoon of the oil every four hours (or four times daily). He felt much better even after the first dose. We continued this for about three days or until completely better. Thank you Jesus for creating natural herbs for our healing and thank you Pure Herbs for preparing them in a quality way to best benefit our bodies! God bless you!" —B.C, Dixon, IL

"I feel compelled to write another testimonial on Skin Lotion #102. My last testimonial was on my husbands dry cracking heels. I’m happy to say they are still smooth and show no signs of cracking. I still put the Skin Lotion #102 on nightly. For me, I’m in heaven. I have had a raised, scaly dark place on my leg for five years. At times I have thought this was most likely bad cells. Because it was on my leg (out of sight, out of mind) I really haven’t done anything about it and I know better than this! I started using the Skin Lotion #102 daily and to my delight after two weeks it’s completely gone! I also use the lotion as a moisturizer on my face. I’m thrilled that I finally have something herbal to put on my skin. Once again, thank you Pure Herbs for making my life better."—A.H., Sterling Hgts, MI

"I have always had very good results with Sports Cream Plus. I decided to order Sports Cream Extra Strength. I am so impressed with this cream! The first thing I noticed was the consistency of this cream was more smooth and somewhat more liquid. It feltvelvet smooth in my hand and when I applied it to any area it was absorbed very quickly. I could feel it working as I was applying it. The smell is very soothing and relaxing. I have had great results and I am very impressed so I will continue to use and share the good news of this products! Thank you for such a wonderful product." —Marcella, NJ

"January 2006, I didn’t fall, but I did give myself a hard twist to keep from falling. Mid January I went for an MRI to see what damage I had done. The MRI showed a severe bulge at L3, 4 & 5 with nerve entrapment, knee damage which was medial meniscus and torn ligaments. I went back for another MRI in September and it showed a mild disc bulge at L3, but no nerve entrapment. The medial meniscus tear and ligaments were showing signs of healing and there was no inflammation. My program consisted of DSK., CA.-W, B.D.R.-C and Ol Number 11 all taken internally, one tsp. two times per day. Some days I would take the herbs three to four times per day to relieve the discomfort. I also juiced fresh vegetables every morning and drank 12 oz a day. I applied Vitamin E, Arnica Oil Blend, DSK., CA.-W, Ol Number 11 and B.D.R.-C topically to the spine and knee at night just before going to bed. For the first two months I walked with a cane because of the discomfort in the right leg. I went to the chiropractor one time per week for the first two months and than one time per month thereafter. I also had therapeutic massages once every two weeks for two months and then one time per month. After six to eight weeks I could tell the swelling in the disc was better and not pinching my nerves anymore. I still take three droppers full of the above formulas two times a day and probably will the rest of my life. The doctors told me that at my age (63) that the body would not heal. I proved them wrong! Every Monday evening I tap dance with our daughter and granddaughter. There is no pain in the back or in my knee! A good herbal program is powerful if you are committed to heal your body without surgery or drugs, no matter what age you are! Thank you Pure Herbs for your high quality products!"—Jean Kinnett, Lawrenceburg, IN

"Here is my testimonial on Five Oils. The coolest time of day to tend to flowers is evening after 7pm. Usually, the drawback was mosquitoes and their bites. Well, I used a fair amount of the Five Oils on my arms, face and any exposed areas of my body. I usually wear a long sleeve shirt, hat and look as though I’m going on an African safari. That’s changed now! No bites, stings, etc. All these flying critters keep their distance. Gardening has become a joy. Also, I love the fragrance of the blend. What a great product!" —Sheila, Hendersonville, NC

"I recently was vacationing down in Mexico and ended up with a nasty sunburn. Luckily I had my Skin Lotion Plus #101 scented with Lavender with me. I know from past experience that Lavender is really good for any kind of burn pain. I rubbed the lotion everywhere I was sunburned. Within seconds the awful pain was gone and within about a day most of the redness was gone. I was pleasantly relieved! I also used the lotion in the evening before bedtime on a couple of nasty blisters that were on my feet from walking so much. By the next morning the blisters felt better and I was able to walk without pain. I will never go on vacation without my Skin Lotion #101!" —Kim @ Pure Herbs, Ltd., Sterling Hgts, MI

"My husband recently had the flu. Because of what I know about flu shots, we do not take them. Although he is never sick, walks every day and eats right, he had been under a great deal of stress at work and had been in a really bad mood for months. He had a fever the second night of over 101. I put him in a ‘Ginger and Epson Salt bath" to sweat out his fever (Epson Salt is not to be used with diabetics). I did this not to get rid of the fever, but to bring it down. He also did Garlic Suppositories as an antibiotic. On the second day, he began taking Wild Rose Hips 10-20 drops every couple of hours. He also stayed away from sugar (which suppresses the immune system). After two days the flu symptoms were over but wait . . . it gets better. He has been carrying a small bottle of Wild Rose Hips and taking drops throughout the day. He told me this morning it is acting as an anti-inflammatory and that his joints no longer hurt. He is feeling better and his mood has improved tremendously. He is so excited that he read up on the Wild Rose Hips and found out that in addition to giving a sense of well-being and acting as an anti-inflammatory, Wild Rose Hips is also a poison antidote. Thanks Pure Herbs for making another one of God’s natural products available."—Lynnette O., CNHP, Cartersville, Ga

"Recently I had a time with an attack of scleredema on my ankles and legs. You should have seen how blood red my legs were and they were very painful too. I started putting Vitamin E on them first and then I applied Oil of Cajeput. When I ran out of the Cajeput I then applied the Vitamin E and Wintergreen Oil. I did this three times a day. I can’t believe how it helped the pain and how quickly I got better. I need larger bottles because this is something I must have on hand! I told my Doctor too! Send more! Thank you Pure Herbs." —Rosalie Jacobs, Sarasota, FL

"I developed a sore place with swelling in the crease of my nose where it meets the face skin. There was also a sore lump of some kind on the nose next to the burning crease. It kept getting worse and burned a lot. I started putting Five Oils on it and I opened capsules of Vitamin E and Vitamins A & D and put them on too. The burning stopped almost at once and the swelling eased up at the same time. I worked about a week and a half with applications every time it hurt. I don’t know what you would have called my nose problem, but it is gone now and I’m happy about it!" -G. W., Sterling Hgts, MI

"Hoodia extract has been a great asset to my weight loss program. Started using Hoodia when I joined Weight Watchers this past Nov. I take Hoodia twice a day, on an empty stomach, between breakfast and lunch, and before supper. It has curbed cravings for sweets and assists me in keeping portions of food reasonably sized.

To date, I have dropped 18 unwanted pounds. For my needs, 15 drops of Hoodia is all that is needed. I know that Pure Herbs Hoodia is of high quality, and this is always a great assurance." —Sheila, Hendersonville, NC

"In addition to being a CNHP (Certified Natural Health Professional) and an active advocate and user of Pure Herbs products personally, my husband and I mentor two families in our church. One of the families has children who have Molluscum. (Molluscum contagiosum is a common childhood illness caused by a virus that occurs in about 1/200 children under the age of ten. Also, epidemic as an STD (sexually transmitted disease) among sexually active adults. All current treatment options for Mulluscum are invasive (insertion of instruments or devices), and may cause pain and discomfort — information obtained from The Center for Biomedical Research.).

After approximately a month, two bumps have disappeared and the other two are almost gone. Connor looks in the mirror and is so proud that the warts are going away. He is now looking forward to going back to school and even told his mom, ‘Look mom, when I go back to school I won’t have those things anymore!’ What a joy to see his excitement.

Restore circulation to the heart and extremities with L-carnitine. The body makes L-carnitine from protein. If there are digestive problems, it makes good sense to use a digestaid when eating protein. GINGER, GENTIAN, SWEET ROOT and D-W are good choices. Most people who are not in good health tend to have digestion problems. That is one of the reasons they are sick. As protein is digested in the body, parts of a complete high quality protein are used by the liver and kidneys to make L-carnitine. It is now fairly well documented by observation and science that this substance L-carnitine is very helpful to handle circulation problems where the heart itself does not get enough blood. This is known as cardiac ischemia. L-carnitine also helps when the arteries that are far away from the heart do not get enough blood. This is known as peripheral arterial disorder. They are developed disorders. Since they are developed they can be undeveloped. To ensure that the liver and kidneys can make enough L-carnitine a person should consume a high quality easily digested protein on a regular basis. BEE POLLEN, FIVE GOOD, PROTEIN EXTRACT, BREWER’S YEAST and YOGURT are excellent sources of such protein.—Excerpted form the copyrighted works of Dr. A. B. Howard

"THE FINEST NATURE HAS TO OFFER" is what Pure Herbs says and boy this is what you get! Lotion #101 and #102 do MOISTURIZE, SOOTHE, NOURISH, REPAIR, PROTECT, RESTORE and REVITALIZE the skin. These are big promises that do come true. In order to do all these things you have to have a large amount of the quality things in the product to do the job. Most companies put a drop or two of the good things in their product so they can list them on the label and it looks impressive. I heard someone say they could detect the scent of Vitamin E and fish oils when they first use the Skin Lotions. Be sure to shake them up first before you use them. Yes, the containers are full so you may have to use the first little bit on some really rough skin such as your elbows or heels of your feet or on your ankles. Then shake it up. When I first tested the Skin Lotions, I was in love with the #101 because it is scented with the natural oils of Lavender, Juniper and Rosemary. Now my favorite is #102 which is scented with Fennel and Greek Nuts. I like it better because it becomes odorless even quicker than #101. I use it on my face as a moisturizer. Another thing I find amazing about the lotions is every once in awhile the top layer of skin on my face has a gentle peeling. The lotion is having a deep healing effect and my skin looks wonderful. I believe many women pay lots of money to have the top layers of skin burned off. These lotions are softening, repairing, nourishing and they restore my skin gently all at the same time. And, there is none of that burning off the skin nonsense. Did I mention the lotions are very rich and thick and you do not need to use much. This isn’t your average ‘smell nice’ drugstore perfume lotion! No, it is MUCH, MUCH MORE!!! I have never been this excited about two new products before! This is just what we needed, a REPAIR KIT FOR THE SKIN!!!—Barbara Jacobs, Sterling Hgts, MI

"Dear Doctor Watkins and staff, sixteen months ago I was presented with symptoms of body lice. Doctors denied I had lice or parasites. Severe itching and burrowing ‘bugs’ became worse despite home remedies and prescriptions. I was forced to resign my job as an R.N. and withdraw from society. I prayed constantly for a healing or cure. I relocated to another state and was led (by God) to Good Life Health Food Store which carried Pure Herbs products. They started me on a parasite cleanse using Pure Herbs products. I am nearing the end of this disgusting plague. I would have committed suicide if these products and remedies had not been available." —P. S., Waskom, TX

"My friend, Bob fell off a ladder and crushed his heal on a Friday evening. I suggested he wrap it with Ol’ Number 11 till he could see a doctor. On Monday the doctor took an X-ray and told him he crushed his heel in a million pieces. He scheduled him for a Cat Scan on Thursday and surgery on Saturday. Saturday morning while waiting to be pre-oped for surgery the Doctor told him he didn’t need the surgery after all. He said, ‘You sure heal well for a 50 year old man. I’ve never seen anything like this before and I can’t explain how all those crushed fragmented pieces somehow went back into place.’ Bob wrapped his heel with Ol’ Number 11 and took 40 drops 3x/day by mouth." —J. A., Spring TX

Skin Lotion Plus #101 Gets an A+

Another testimonial . . .While I was putting my make-up on, I left the vanity drawer open and bumped into it and it took the skin right off my shin. Boy, did that hurt! Out of instinct, I applied the Skin Lotion Plus #101 because I know it is loaded with Vitamin E. I applied a little directly on the area . . . and yes it helped it right away and it didn’t have any sting to it. Just think of it, . . . A moisturizer, hand cream, face cream, that also has healing qualities that you can put in your purse, travel bag, desk drawer, camping bag, medicine cabinet, etc. GREAT!!! I can only imagine what the long term effects of using such a wonderful product will do for my skin since it has already made a huge difference in such a short amount of time. Do ya think it would slow the aging process? I do… THANK YOU!" —Barbara Jacobs @ Pure Herbs, Ltd in Sterling Hgts., MI

"I have always had flaking… I was fortunate to make the acquaintance of Pure Herbs and their wonderful staff when my company moved right next door to their old building. We formed a business relationship that has lasted throughout the years. Recently, I was called in to print flyers for a new product called ‘skin lotion plus’. It definitely got my attention because I am forever looking for ways to preserve and nourish my skin - currently spending hundreds of dollars on creams, oils and lotions (Stri Vectin & Idebenol to name a few). I was able to sample a bottle of Skin Lotion Plus #102 - with wonderful results! I have always had flaking around my nostrils regardless of the product I used. Not any more! In addition to that, my standard blemishes that occur month after month in the same places have healed and haven't come back!! I use the lotion on my face and neck right after my morning shower and if my skin soaks it up quickly, I reapply another dose. The lotion seems to target the areas that need to be healed and it is my experience that if it is not needed in a certain area that day, it will flake off immediately with a gentle rub. If my skin feels moisturized, but still a little tight, I will spritz on Evian water spray. This allows me to apply my base coat makeup on to a smooth surface. Not only have I noticed that my skin is uniform in appearance, it no longer feels oily and dry at the same time. I have found that if I have an after work function, I don't have to go home and wash my face and apply more makeup. Just a simple touch up will do. Send me a barrel!!" — T.G., Madison Hgts., MI

"This is totally amazing!!! I can hardly believe it myself. I’m going to share my story here. On Sept. 6, 2005, I began using Pure Herbs, Ltd. At this time I was very unhealthy and on eight different medications. The herbs I began with and am still using are: Broad Beans, W.L.-W and C.C.E.-W. Learning how to heal myself has been a high priority for me!!! I truly believe that this can be done with the use of natural herbs. By the third day of using the herbs my energy level had sky-rocketed! I could hardly sit still. I was up and down all day long. Physically there was a change taking place and emotionally I had hope. By the end of the first month I had lost 22 pounds. My family and friends began to take notice of the changes. I also want to tell you that I am extremely allergic to cats. Ten minutes in an area where cats were and my throat would begin to close up making it difficult to breathe. It is now eleven months later and I am eighty-three pounds lighter. I went from a size 26/28 to a size 18! I’m down to only two medications and hope to be off those soon. The real surprise bonus of all of this is that I can spend several days with cats and have very little discomfort. Who would have ever thought that this herb combination would take care of the cat allergies too!!! I do want to stress the importance of keeping your doctor updated on any and all natural products that you use. This applies to those who are under a physicians care. I’m healing and I’m excited about future possibilities. I look and feel different from the inside out. I strongly suggest you give these herbs a try! The results will surprise you!!!" —P.P., Everett, WA

"I have been a Certified Natural Health Professional for approximately two years and have been actively using Pure Herbs for about six years and recommend them for all of my clients. Although, I recommend regularly Big Five plus Two for pain and use it myself. I have never actually used a poultice. My CNHP, Teresa McCurry had told me to try it and I did. I have had a herniated disk for at least ten years and have learned to compensate by chiropractor visits when necessary, but especially by not lifting heavy objects and sleeping a certain way. I do not condemn people for using drugs, but have learned that pain pills numb my brain and not the pain! For approximately a month, I have had Sciatica pain. It was so bad for weeks that when I stood up from a sitting or lying down position I wanted to scream. This caused me to nurse it and therefore I stopped exercising which was not a good thing. It seemed that the Big Five plus Two wasn’t touching the pain for any length of time. I’ve had the disk problem for over 20 years and although chiropractic adjustments were the only thing that gave me relief, I had to stop going because of a lapse in my insurance. I finally decided to take Teresa’s advise and applied the Big Five plus Two first and then made a poultice with a gauze square soaked in Ol’ Number 11. I covered the poultice in clear food wrap (saran wrap) to seal it, rather than tape. Two days of poultices, changed every twelve hours, stopped the pain completely. I am now able to move without pain and I am back to exercising, which is one of my main preventatives for such things. I am so encouraged by this that I am telling everyone! Once again, thanks to Pure Herbs for making available the wonderful resources that God intended for us to use! Blessed by your products!"—Lynnette Oehrke., Cartersville, GA

"This past winter, a friend of mine was scheduled to have hernia repair surgery. The procedure seemed necessary, and he asked me about herbs to assist on his recovery and healing. Actually, Jack’s nutritional protocols were very good. Pure foods, water, exercise and nutritional supplements. We reviewed various herbs and we selected the following: Universal E.R. with Mimulus, R.S.T.-C, Three Bees, Arnica (externally), Formula Max, C.C.E.-W and Bilberry. He recovered rapidly and was back to his work as a physician within several weeks having energy and gratitude for the Pure Herbs he used and his healing ability."—S. Kaplowitz, NC

"I would like to share with you the herbs I used while I was pregnant with my baby boy. Daily, I took Crampbark and False Unicorn along with Partridge Berry to help strengthen the uterus and also for any cramping I experienced. As soon as I felt the on-set of cramping I took these herbs (1/2–1 tsp) and within about 1/2 hour the cramping stopped. I also took Vitamin E (four capsules/day), A.C.S. (for mineral supplementation), Nettle (for calcium supplementation) and C.C.E. in small amounts (for the bowels). When I was about six months into my pregnancy I became very sick so I took L.A.S.-JB (4–5 capsules every hour) and 1000 mg of Vitamin C (every other hour). The L.A.S.-JB cleared my sinuses and lungs and I felt so much better. The Vitamin C helped to break up the mucus. I now have a healthy, happy baby boy that I give herbs to. At about two weeks old I gave him Olive Leaf, Echinecea and A.C.S. (all at a rate of two-three drops on the bottom of each foot at each diaper changing). This helped my son, Colby to keep from getting sick by raising his immune system, especially because his older brother was always touching him and holding him with his not so clean hands (you know boys!)." —Tammy Hudson, St. Albans, VT

"Tuesday, March 28th began as any other day as I went off to work for hospice as a registered nurse. My vision seemed different to say the least. I’ve worn glasses or contacts since I was very young. I’ve also had sinus problems for many years. Too many to count! I haven’t always had the best diet, but I have used herbs and nutrition for past health issues. This was one of those times when I thought I could get away with eating and drinking the more mainstream fare. Little did I know of the troubles that were about to ensue. My vision seemed to dim, to say the least, and by mid-afternoon, I knew I had a big problem. I had emergency surgery for a detached retina. I was devastated by the loss of vision. I knew this would be quite a program I was embarking on to clean out my eyes and sinuses. My journey would not be a passage easily remedied for the faint-hearted or average layperson. I would spare no expense to strengthen what I had allowed a surgeon to repair. I started with digestion and chose gentian, along with a bowel program to cleanse and strengthen the bowel. I added E.-W (80 drops 4x/day) to repair both eyes, since eyes are sympathetic. I also took Bilberry, Formula Three, Dandelion Leaf, Purple Loosestrife, Ol’ Number 11, Gingko Combination and Protein to strengthen and nourish my eyes. In addition I rubbed Arnica, a drop or two of Peppermint Oil (for oxygenation) and R.S.T.-C on my forehead and on my temples. I also took R.S.T.-C internally (80 drops 3x/day). I also took Vitamin E with Selenium and Vitamins A & D internally and rubbed on externally for oxygenation. I also took digestaids and ‘perfect eyes’ from Nature’s Sunshine. I added Black Cohosh and C.C.E.-W for days when I felt I needed extra help. I rubbed Chickweed around my eye area on days when I felt my vision was cloudy. Finally, I added SI.-W to my herbal program when I realized that sinus problems affect hearing and vision. I have lived in such a fast-paced life for the last several years and am guilty, as is the majority of society, for reaching for convenience. As for my therapeutic program, I knew my diet had to be the very best it could be so my bowel and sinuses would not reabsorb putrefied toxins. I made sure I took in ‘real food’ and green drink at every meal. This has been a journey I would never have chosen (yet, ultimately I did, didn’t I?) and one I won’t soon forget. We all have to take responsibility for the roads we travel and why should I be any different. Hopefully, we’re paying attention to the signs along the way. Today, my vision is better (I’m legally able to drive with the eye) and I believe it will continue to increase with each day. I’ve always loved sunrises, sunsets and beautiful flowers. I include nature’s scenery daily as part of my healing journey. Life is awesome!!!" —L. Schechter, the sunny banks of Hernando Bch, FL

"I wrote to you last month about my grandson’s wife and their unborn baby who had been diagnosed with a number of birth defects . . . Some of which were Turner’s Syndrome (Dwarfism), Cystic Hygroma, Down’s Syndrome, and Congestive Heart Failure among other defects. The baby was not expected to live very long after that dire diagnosis. Well, I had good news in the last testimonial I sent in (posted in the July/August 2006 Pure Herbs Newsletter) about the baby and all that was left was a heart problem. Well, guess what? I put the mother on Formula 31, at a dosage of 40 drops three times per day and when she had a check-up with the specialist on Monday he said that all four chambers of the heart are functioning perfectly! The baby, a normal, healthy girl is expected October 1st and we are eagerly looking forward to that miracle child being here, after a grueling two months of waiting for this diagnosis. Thank you all for letting me once again share this heart-warming and encouraging testimonial! My very best to you all at Pure Herbs . . . Keep up the good work." —Jo Ann Gragg-Huffman, Chillicothe, OH

"My mother was in a nursing home some time ago. The head nurse called me and told me Mom had a stroke. I grabbed my O.C.M and went to see her. Her right eye was wide opened and her right arm had no control. I gave her a dropper full of O.C.M. every five minutes and in one hour she was singing, her arm was working and she was in control. Now, my husband, daughter and I use O.C.M. every day– six droppers a day." —Barbara Hastey, Dover NJ

"MY KNEES USED TO HURT!!! For some time now my knees hurt when I tried to bend them. They were hot and sore in places when I touched them. My knees hurt when I sat down, they hurt when I got up and they hurt when I walked. I had to keep my legs stiff when I walked to cut down on the pain. Then I found out about all the things FIVE OILS could do. I got a bottle of FIVE OILS and massaged the oils into my knees. I already knew HERBAL ADJ. (ADJUSTMENT) helped with pain so I put some of that on after the FIVE OILS. To my amazement it started to work at once to give me relief. I also learned that the herb HORSETAIL contains a lot of MSM for healthy cartilage. In my desperation I started taking a Tablespoon full of HORSETAIL every day by mouth instead of the few drops a day that I had been using. I have now been using the FIVE OILS and HERBAL ADJ. and HORSETAIL for about three weeks. Now I can bend my knees normally and use them all day. Here is the best part in the process of using these herbs . . . Not only did they take the pain away, but as far as I can tell they have also repaired my knees!!! I can tell you one definition of what happiness is. It is being able to walk, sit down and stand up again without pain! Thank you FIVE OILS, HERBAL ADJ. and HORSETAIL and thank you Pure Herbs, Ltd."—G.W., Sterling Hgts, MI

"Thank you Barb at Pure Herbs!!! You could tell I wasn’t myself the day we talked on the phone and you told me to give Formula Three a try. It worked great! It turned out that everyone in our office was stressed out. I finished the 1-oz bottle and I’m now into the 4-oz bottle! ‘Blessings’ show up when we least expect them. Thank you!!!" —Vanessa

"I just had to share with you how wonderful we think your B.& B.-W and B.& N.C.-W are. Our 14 year old dachshund had been experiencing seizures for several months and a friend suggested that I try your Pure Herbs. The seizures stopped very soon after starting her on them. We add the drops to her food every day and she has been seizure free for over a year now. We love her dearly and are very, very thankful to you."

When you consider the oxygenating, circulation stimulating, inflammation inhibiting, spasm relaxing, and pain relieving properties of each of these oils in Five Oils, it is understandable the formula is a Muscular Therapist’s Dream. The feedback is exciting from people who have rubbed on Five Oils seeking pain relief from arthritic type symptoms, injury and old surgery sites.

A man called saying that he was having excruciating pain as a result of losing a large filling from a molar. Unfortunately, work commitments prevented him from returning home for dental repair. I suggested he soak a cottonball with Five Oils and pack the molar cavity. He called the next day to happily report he had experienced pain relief in minutes and would continue this regimen until he could see his dentist.

Five Oils is the finest natural mosquito repellant in the land. Those few who say it isn’t effective, I have learned, simply need to apply more. I do not recommend misting. It should be applied full strength as one would a lotion.

"My mother has congestive heart failure and one of the valves in her heart won’t close. She was admitted to the hospital in Dec. 2005 and discharged on Jan. 6, 2006. At that time her legs and feet were swollen with fluid from top to bottom. Her stomach looked like she was eight months pregnant and her lungs had fluid build-up. She was vomiting and had a bad cough because of the fluid in her lungs. The fluid in her stomach was causing a bowel blockage because it was pressing on her intestines. My mother was literally drowning in her own body waste. My sister called a chiropractor she knew of who sells Pure Herbs products. She told them of our mother’s condition and his office shared some literature with my sister about KID-W. We bought the KID-W and started giving our mother three droppers full each day in her juice or water. After the first day, all the fluid drained out of her feet and legs except for one place in her ankle. After four days we were able to cut back on the amount of drops we gave her. After ten days my mother’s legs were normal, her stomach was flatter and her bowel movements returned to normal. She stopped coughing because her lungs were clear and was not vomiting as often. The quality of my mother’s life was greatly improved. Her heart is only pumping at 20 to 30 percent of what it should be and we know she will not be with us much longer, but it gives us a sense of relief knowing we can give her a better quality of life. Thank you for the KID-W." —D. G., Wytheville, VA

"About three years ago my wife was diagnosed with medulla carcinoma which is a rare form of thyroid cancer. I searched all over the USA trying to find help medically. There was no hope given, so we continued down the only path clear to us and she began having surgeries to cut out the cancer. Track it and cut it out was the only thing we could do. After three surgeries at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN we were given a God send. We heard of an Amish man named Solomon Wickey and were told to go see him. Solomon, an Iridologist and Master Herbalist put my wife on a nine week herbal regimen and a four month special diet. He said there should be improvement within about four months. Within four months she was cancer free! Thanks to Red Clover Blended, Whole Apricot, Parsley, Lapacho, food enzymes and her diet of God given foods. I can’t say enough good about herbs and those who help others and understand the healing qualities of herbs. I am now a student of herbs and am helping as many people as I can to understand there is hope and healing in the herbal way." —Darwin Covington, Walker, IA

"We love the herbs! Our family of seven uses many and are rarely ever sick or have to go to the doctor. After using the Red Root in mouthwash for about a month, one day last week I noticed a spot on the inside of my front bottom tooth that was rough and making my tongue sore. When I felt it with my finger a piece of tooth fell out! I was very upset about this especially since we don’t have dental insurance. The next morning more fell out. To my EXCITEMENT I found out it was a piece of plaque from off of my tooth. The other tooth still has a piece on it and I am applying Red Root directly to it with a cotton swab. My tooth feels clean and smooth. Thank you!" —Becky, Lee, IL

"In mid March, my grandson's wife had her first ultrasound in her second pregnancy. She was approximately 12 weeks along. It was discovered that the baby had severe Down’s Syndrome, Turner’s Syndrome (Dwarfism, and sometimes Mosaic-Turner’s, which involves sexual deformities), Cystic Hygroma (swelling of lymphatic nodes in the neck and around the back of the head), Congestive heart failure and excessive fluid which indicated that the baby was near death. The mother had also been exposed to the ‘Fifth Disease’ (Parvo-Virus B-19 in humans) and had influenza the first month of her pregnancy. How much else could possibly be wrong? We put her on a program of All Cells Salts (A.C.S.) ( for the Down’s Syndrome), Lapacho (for the lymphatic swelling of the cystic hygroma), Spirulina (for the RNA/DNA, brain activity and nourishment), all of this was added to the usual prenatal vitamins (Calcium, Magnesium and Red Raspberry). We used Buchu and Immortal Root (hard to find, but we got some). For the congestive heart failure we added 100 i.u. of Vitamin E, CoQ-10 two/day and a blend for the pituitary gland. When the mother went back to the doctor in two weeks they could not recognize the baby!!! They kept saying, ‘Is this the same baby?’ All the deformities on the head and neck were gone, the Turner’s Syndrome was gone, the Down’s Syndrome was gone, most of the fluid around the baby was gone and all the chromosomal tests indicated the baby was a normal baby girl. There is still a slight heart problem, but we will continue all of the above until tests show that is gone too! The doctors just kept saying, ‘These cases never reverse, this never happens.’ Well, he just has no idea – or maybe he does know – he had witnessed a miracle!!!! In fact, it was suggested they name her ‘Miracle’. Thank you our Merciful, Loving God for hearing our prayers. He has indeed turned our tears of mourning into tears of joy! Thank all of you at Pure Herbs for letting me share this story." —Jo Ann Gragg-Huffman, Chillicothe, OH

"I started using Tart Cherry Extract from the first day it came out. Like Columbus I discovered its source. I was only looking for help to sleep. Not only did I find the help I needed to sleep, but I also had improvement in sexual functions (erections). What I thought was lost in my 20’s, at 41 years of age is working better than ever! Even better then past performance. I take four droppers each evening."—signed name withheld, see for yourself

"I would like to share with you how herbs have helped me. I have a degenerate disc, bulging disc, bone spurs and also osteoarthritis. I had tried everything to no avail until I started using Big 5 + 2. I have had wonderful results within just a few weeks. Thank you

"I enjoyed my conversation with Kim the other day. She was very nice and kind to me and I wish to give my testimony about some of your fine products I am using. I have been using O.C.M. for several years and would not be without it. Also, I was in a severe automobile accident several years ago and my right eye was so bad they thought I would lose it. I have nerve damage now from it, but have been using Greasewood on my eye brows and my eyes have opened up more and they are better. Other people have noticed the difference in the way my eyes were sometimes almost closed and now are opening more. I also am a big believer in Bilberry, H.T. Combo, Peppermint Oil, Herbal Adjustment and Cascara Sagrada. I have also used E.-W for my eyes. I have used all of these products for several years and I am a firm believer in them and would not do without them. I would like to compliment you and your company for being such fine people and have such fine products. I am 76 years old and I work one day a week (Saturday) at one of your places that sells your herbal products. I work for Good Life in Shreveport, LA. Mrs. Betty Harbour owns the store which is family owned and operated. She and all of her family are wonderful people and a pleasure to work for. They are very knowledgeable about your products and I really appreciate them letting me work there. Thank you Pure Herbs again for being such so kind and nice to me when I called. May God Bless everyone there."

TO ALL EXPECTING MOTHERS-TO-BE!!! "I found Pure Herbs about five years ago and since then I have been helped several times. The true test came when I got pregnant last year. First, I started taking Crampbark & False Unicorn Root to increase my chance to become pregnant. Within two months we found out we were going to have a baby in October 2005. Throughout my pregnancy I took P.N.-W, Red Raspberry Leaf and Chuchuhuasi (for my immune system) three times per day. I understand everybody is different and can have a good or bad pregnancy experience, but I’ll tell you one thing I had a fantastic one! I wouldn’t want to know how it would have been without the herbs!!!!!! My own mother couldn’t believe how great I was feeling because both of her pregnancies she had the typical symptoms. I personally never got sick, I had no cravings and no other problems. I had energy from the beginning to the end. During the last six weeks I took L.6W for an easier labor. Although I did have a difficult labor I’m still amazed at how I kept myself going for over 48 hours on my feet and 29 hours of natural labor to a nine pound baby. Let me tell you that hours later I felt great! I never lost my energy or my smile. After labor I didn’t have any pain from my uterus contracting back. I also highly recommend to you Papaya Mints Extract for your colic baby. After about ten or twelve days my sons "gassy" problem disappeared and his digestive system is working 110%. He was only three weeks old when I started him on herbs. While nursing I have been taking Basil, M. & B.-A, Protein Extract and Chuchuhuasi to make my milk a better quality. Good luck to all mothers and expecting mothers. Don’t be afraid of taking theses herbs. They are our blessings. Thank you Pure Herbs for saving our health!!!"—K.W.— Sterling Hgts, MI

"Seven years ago my eye doctor told me I had cataracts on both eyes and I would need surgery. I started using E.-W as an eye wash. When I went back to the eye doctor he said I only had a slight cataract on my right eye and that my left eye was free from any signs of cataract. He also told me I was in good shape for my age. I am 84 years old and don’t want to have surgery. The doctor told me with my improved vision that I would not need surgery." —P. Lind, Corydon, IN

"I use Alfalfa every day for arthritis (two droppers two times per day). I had a cyst on my thumb knuckle and I put a drop of Alfalfa on it once a day for a couple of weeks and it disappeared. Also, when my ring finger started to hurt I did the same thing and in about a week the pain went away. My daughter also started putting Alfalfa on her fingers because she had arthritis. In only a few weeks she was pain free. It really works! Thank you Pure Herbs!" —Barbara Hastey, Dover, NJ

"Some years ago I was experiencing neck and back pain. It was becoming a ritual to roll out of bed in the mornings along with sleepless nights due to all the discomfort. After taking an MRI exam, I was diagnosed with three slipped discs in my back and a pinched nerve in my neck. The doctor recommended emergency back surgery and gave me a prescription for Vicatin. I declined the surgery and refused to take the medication. I immediately sought counsel from my herbalist who recommended reflexology (2x/week), taking liquid Vitamin C (1 tsp 4x/day), DSK (80 drops 4x/day) along with using an additional ten drops of DSK internally, Big Five + 2 and Oil of Cajeput to massage up and down my spine and on my neck. After one week my pain was slowly disappearing. After eight weeks, I was completely healed. No more sleepless nights and no more rolling myself out of bed. As an added bonus I had a lot more energy. Thanks Pure Herbs." —Gila Johnson, Cincinnati, OH

"I have been one of the testers of the Hoodia and I absolutely love it! It has decreased my appetite, helped me to stop eating all the junk (chips, cookies, candy, etc) throughout the day and it has given me more energy. When I quit smoking about a year and a half ago I gained a significant amount of weight and was very depressed about it. Now that I have been on the Hoodia for awhile I try to do some form of exercise at least five times per week because of my increased energy (Nordic-track, walking and Jazzercise). As of last week when our Hoodia Combination was ready I switched over to taking that. I like the added benefits of taking Chlorella and Cascara Sagrada which are ingredients in the Hoodia Combination. So far I love the Hoodia Combination too! It has been a slow process of loosing my weight/inches, but I have dropped one pant size and am already feeling better and more confident. Several people have commented on my weight lose. It is especially noticeable in my face. Also my jeans are pretty baggy on me, but I don’t want to buy too many new ones because I plan on dropping at least one more size. I am very excited and pleased, especially with my increased energy. There was a period of time before I was taking the Hoodia when I would take power naps on almost all of my breaks at work. I had zero energy to do anything, especially exercise. I can’t wait for nice weather so I can start rollerblading. Thank you Dr. Watkins for finding this top notch source of Hoodia!" —Kim Clark, Pure Herbs, Ltd employee

"Thanks so much for the L.A.S.-J.B. capsules! My husband used to get sinus headaches so often until John Zehr told us about the L.A.S.-J.B. We also take them when we feel a cold coming on and it helps us a lot. We highly recommend L.A.S.-J.B."—C.G., New Haven, IN

"My name is George Procter. I was poisoned by DDT when I was five years old and 30 years later I was exposed to clorodain. Over the years I’ve also been exposed to pesticide sprays. I was sick and tired and my body was messed up. I had 35% blood flow to my feet and head, and had several types of Lymes disease. I went on an herbal program and got better. My health care practitioner, Calvin Taylor suggested I try Chlorella extract. I took 40 drops three times daily and when I finished one bottle, my liver count showed a lower count of pesticides. I have continued taking Chlorella each time I am exposed to termite sprays or environmental sprays. My sister has allergies to perfume and all industrial smells, and is also using Chlorella with good results. Thank you Pure Herbs for this high quality product!" —George Procter, Donna TX

"I have been seeing a doctor for about six or seven years for Diabetes. I have been on a pill, Glyburide, plus Avandia and Metformin. My numbers have always been an eight and above. . . even with taking the medications my doctor prescribed. Then, in January or February 2005, I started taking the DB.8-W along with the KID.-W. When I went for my three month check up my number dropped to 7.3. I continued to take the herbs and at my last three month check up on July 5th, 2005, it had dropped to 6.7. I am very pleased with the results of this herb. I am still taking my medication from the doctor, but am hoping that soon I will be able to reduce or eliminate most of them." —S.D., Menomonee Falls, WI

"Two times weekly for the past five years I have taken injections in the stomach and have almost always bruised from them. While using Bilberry to improve my vision, I noticed the bruising completely stopped occurring. This was a wonderful and unexpected benefit from our good friend Bilberry. Several droppers full at night was all I took." —Tom Zito, MI

"I’ve been using B.D.R.-C for the past year and as a result, there’s been much improvements in my bone health. A couple of years ago, a Bone Density diagnostic scan showed Osteopina, which is the precursor to Osteoporosis. Aside from that, the shoulders and knees were often creaking, crackling, stiff and painful. Ten years earlier I had torn the lateral muscle of my left knee and it never quite healed. I started taking B.D.R.-C and hoped it was the golden opportunity for possible improvement. B.D.R.-C has an all star line-up of herbal ingredients. I was impressed! After eight months of use, a bone density test showed a marked improvement, maybe 15% more bone density. The torn muscle is completely healed, the musical noises of my joints are gone. My chiropractic adjustments definitely stick. I can only say many thanks to Pure Herbs for this great friend of our bones, joints and muscles."—Sheila Kaplowitz, Hendersonville, NC

Correction from the testimonial in the OCT/NOV 2005 Newsletter, from Barbara Hastey, Dover, NJ July 11, 2005"Three years ago, Bob, my husband, was diagnosed with an enlarged, weak heart. I thought I was going to lose him. Our doctor sent him to a Cardiologist who gave him three prescriptions. Of course, I talked to Richard Dicks (my Pure Herbs sponsor) and he guided me and I added a few things. I gave Bob two droppers each of H.T. Combo, Lily of the Valley and Blessed Thistle, Stone Root and Horsetail, every morning and night with three CoQ10 (100mg) in the day. Bob had an EKG and an Echocardiogram in June. The doctor told us that his heart is back to where it should be! The doctor* turned to me and said, ‘I guess you will probably say the herbs did it.’ Bob and I thank Pure Herbs and our Lord for these herbs. I now have a new man after 44 years! Thanks again!"

"How can I tell you how very much your products have meant to me? They have helped me in so many ways!!! The first product I tried was the Big 5 + 2. I had a back injury that required spinal fusion in 1994. Since then, I have lived with stiffness and pain in my lower back that has progressively been getting worse over the years. I have been told that it is everything from arthritis, to muscle spasm, to severe trigger points. But whatever you call it, all I know is that when I would try to sleep at night, the pain would become so severe that it would wake me up. Then after I would wake up, I would have to grab the side of the bed for leverage to just roll over, wincing and almost crying from the pain. I had decided that I was just going to have to live with the pain until my sister-in-law told me about your products. I started using the Big 5 + 2 every morning and night and within just one week, the pain was gone and I was sleeping through the night. I couldn’t believe it! It truly was like a miracle for me. The second product that I tried was your Five Good Extract. I recently had gastric by-pass surgery and need all the protein that I can get without adding too many calories. Your product has helped me to keep my protein level up to a wonderful level. The third product that I tried was your Blue Steele. This product has given me my energy back. I can’t tell you enough about how this has helped my stamina and physical energy level. I’m sure I’ll try more products as time goes on, but I can say from experience that what I’ve tried already had made me a believer in your products! Thanks so much!" —V.P., Rowlett, TX

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how prayer lead me to Reuben Schwartz and Pure Herbs. My prayers were truly answered and I give my Father in Heaven the Glory and Praise. I had interstitial Cystitis (bleeding and diseased lining of the bladder). I had constant bladder infections and always had the feeling of needing to urinate. My bladder would also have spasms. I was told by my doctor there is no cure, primarily in women, and the treatment was monthly bladder treatments. My healing has truly been a journey for me, but to make a long story short, upon meeting Ruben, he said Pure Herbs, Slippery Elm and UR.-W would take care of things...And it DID!!! What more can I say...it only took days to see a difference, but one year later I am CURED of a NO-CURE DISEASE! Thank you Lord for my many blessings." —V.L., Lebanon, TN

Here is Daniel’s testimonial from July 1, 2005: "I wanted to let you know that using the O.C.M. and Flax liquid extracts daily dropped my cholesterol significantly. I have high cholesterol and used to take Tricor to control it. However, Tricor caused breathing problems for me. Three months ago, before receiving the O.C.M. and Flax from you, my cholesterol was at 248. It is now 182. My triglycerides were a whopping 647 and are now 227. My HDL was 52.5 and is now 46.9 and my LDL is 89.7. So I am giving credit where credit is due. Taking the O.C.M. and the Flax is the only thing that I changed. I cannot seem to follow a strict diet and using your products (Pure Herbs) helps me. Thank you." —Daniel

"I’d like to share my experience with you that I have had over the last few months. In March 2004 I started having some health problems, nothing I couldn‘t handle, but I was not well. I wasn’t getting good rest, I had stiffness in all my joints when I got up from a sitting position, my arms and elbows ached, I thought I had arthritis. I was having hot flashes, night sweats and a lot of problems with my menstrual period. I had headaches, a lot of gas, and reflux problems. I also had very bad varicose veins in both legs. The week I went to the Iridologist I would go to work, come home and make it to the couch where I stayed until my children came home from school. I told my 15 year old son one day that I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I just didn’t feel like living. He said, ‘Mom don’t say that you are too young to die.’ I just felt so bad, I wanted to die. I went to the Iridologist on August 4, 2004. I began taking: O.C.-M., A.C.S., Red Clover Blended, N.-W, T.-W, CA.-W, Corta Flx, Herbal Adjustment and V.V.H.-W. and after about two weeks I started to feel a difference. For the first time in 15 years I looked forward to bedtime. My husband commented on how much sounder I slept. Also, my energy level increased. My work requires me to be on my feet all day and I noticed that my varicose veins didn’t hurt and sting as much as in the past. I haven’t had to take anything for pain on a daily basis. Everything has improved! I’m only 37 years old and I want to share my testimonial with the world! My entire lifestyle changed within only a few months. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long to learn about your products." —T.E., Sulphur Well, KY

"Eleven years ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (Cystadenocarcinoma). At the time my doctors thought my best chance was to have the Whipple procedure to remove the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, gallbladder, seven pancreatic lymph nodes and the distal part of the stomach. There was no metastases (spread), so I lucked out there. While the Whipple saved my life, I was in for a big surprise in how to function with this new digestive system. The first six months I could only eat very small portions of baby food so I only weighted 76 pounds. Because the duodenum is where you absorb iron (which I no longer had) I became anemic. My iron count was so low that my husband had to administer B-12 shots to me every other week. This helped for a short time, but I still couldn’t gain weight and my iron levels continued to drop. I tried everything medicine had to offer, but they all caused constipation (which was a big problem for me). My doctors decided to try intravenous iron and this really helped. I gained a few pounds and even had more energy. At first I was getting intravenous iron twice a month, but after six months I only needed it once a month. After two and a half years I only needed it once every other month, which I thought would be for the rest of my life. About five years ago I became a member of the Pure Herbs family and consider this one of the miracles in my life. Dr. Watkins has fresh green drink (see page 65-66 in the new Herbal Extracts book or 66-67 in the new Supplement to the Herbal Extracts book) made for us almost daily by Uncle Al. After only one week I could feel a difference in my energy level and I also gained weight. My iron levels are now so good that my doctors said I no longer needed intravenous iron. My energy is so good that I can now work full-time at Pure Herbs. As a maintenance I like to take Protein, Three Bee’s and HI.I.-W. Thank you Doc and Uncle Al for keeping me healthy and happy"  Sterling Hgts, MI

"Three years ago, Bob, my husband, was diagnosed with an enlarged, weak heart. I thought I was going to lose him. Our doctor sent him to a Cardiologist who gave him three prescriptions. Of course, I talked to Richard Dicks (my Pure Herbs sponsor) and he guided me and I added a few things. I gave Bob two droppers each of H.T. Combo, Lily of the Valley and Blessed Thistle, Stone Root and Horsetail, every morning and night with three CoQ10 (100mg) in the day. Bob had an EKG and an Echocardiogram in June. The doctor told us that his heart is back to where it should be! My husband turned to me and said, ‘I guess you will probably say the herbs did it.’ Bob and I thank Pure Herbs and our Lord for these herbs. I now have a new man after 44 years! Thanks again!"

"I would like to tell everyone about the successful experience I had using Olive Leaf extract to cure a sore throat which was starting to develop into a cough. I have always, in the past, not been able to stop the progression of my throat infections and they would progress into an upper respiratory infection. Since I had the Olive Leaf at home, I was able to ‘nip it in the bud.’ I took about four dropperfuls straight into my mouth about every two hours. It was gone in one day!" —Chris Belter, Ormond Beach, FL—Barbara Hastey, Dover

Have you ever had a stiff neck? I woke up one morning , began my stretching exercises and could not continue my neck ones because of the pain. Some stretching helped (5%), but I still couldn’t turn my head without stiffness. I rubbed on Oil of Cajeput, Big 5 + 2, Indian Tobacco, Arnica, Rue, Wintergreen Oil, Black Walnut Meats, and I received 5% more relief. My husband applied the same batch of herbs down my spine and I had even more improvement (20%). I remembered that my tailbone could be causing my neck pain so I applied Passion Flower and Klamath Weed topically over my lower back and all the way to the tip of my Coccyx (tailbone) and 80% of my pain disappeared! Klamath Weed has also been known to straighten and heal the tailbone. Klamath Weed and Passion Flower applied to the lower back, buttocks, and tailbone area, gives instant pain relief for the sciatic nerve. One can use UR.-W (Urinary track), KID.-W, and Klamath Weed to strengthen the kidneys." —Pat Courter, Valley View, TX

Let’s use the herbs to assist the body in removing aluminum (absorbed through such things as bath water and cooking) and poisons. Here is a list of some genuine aluminum flushers and poison annihilators: 

For aluminum: Horsetail, Bladderwrack, A.C.S., Chlorella, and H.M.E.-H (heavy metal elimination).

"Last Sunday I noticed some soreness on the left side of my throat. As the day went on it began to hurt when I swallowed. When I got up Monday, it was worse. The right side was now also sore and my glands were swollen and tender. I decided to try half a dropperful of Sutherlandia with one quarter dropperful of Astragalus three times a day. By Tuesday morning it was better and by Wednesday morning it was all better. Next time I’ll start a day earlier. Thank you Pure Herbs for continuing to supply the herbs our Lord created for our needs."—C.G., Honesdale, PA

Testimonial from The Center For Building Better Health Naturally

* "When a stroke affects the right side, it is usually due to blood clotting related to a lack of Potassium. Bell’s Palsy on the right side is usually a Potassium deficiency affecting the muscles of the face and body on the right side (left side of the body is influenced by the Sodium level). Excerpted from Page 71 The Ultimate Healing System, Donald Lepore, N.D. Woodland Publishing, Inc.

"One week prior to knee surgery my knee was throbbing and pulsating. I had an appointment with my massage therapist Claudia Bernard. She felt how hot my knee was and stated there was an herbal combination that might be useful. She explained to me about Arnica, Peppermint Oil and Herbal Adjustment. She said Arnica would take out the trauma, Peppermint Oil neutralizes the cold of pain and Herbal Adjustment neutralizes the hot of pain. After applying the herbs in that order I felt relief almost instantly. The throbbing and pulsating stopped and I was able to relax my leg. I highly recommend this combination of herbs for pain relief.—Lynn Gray, Cincinnati OH

"I recently had two head injuries seven days apart which resulted in a mild concussion. I was so thankful to have all four bottles listed in the sports injury section of the Herbal Adjustment write-up in the Herbal Extracts book (Arnica, Peppermint Oil, Herbal Adjustment and Ol’ number 11 applied externally on my temples in that order). I also added homeopathic Arnica Montana. It was amazing how quickly the pain and then the brain fog subsided. I also absolutely love your new product, Wintergreen Oil, for my sore shoulder muscles. Thank you Pure Herbs!" —Sally Bailar, Montrose CO

"I have to give credit to God, through his Son Jesus Christ for the successes I’ve had with herbs. I have personally seen my life and the lives of my children dramatically improve! My nine year old son is recovering from Autism Spectrum Disorder. I give him Sweet Root with meals to aid digestion and A.G.-W for relief from discomfort from gas, after meals. I also give him Spirulina in the morning and A.C.S. (All-Cell-Salts) in the afternoon. My son no longer cries constantly, he sleeps regularly, gives everybody big hugs and smiles a lot. Oh, and he’s also using more language. Hallelujah!!!

"Just want to share with you and other Pure Herbs readers my experience with Oil of Cajeput for sore throat and genital herpes. My herbalist, Claudia Bernard, introduced me to this wonderful product. For sore throats I apply a few drops to the back of my throat, and within 15 minutes the sore throat pain is gone. I was on Valtrex for herpes, and had a terrible experience, ending up with a damaged liver. This made me open to a natural remedy. For herpes outbreaks I apply a few drops of Oil of Cajeput externally. The Oil of Cajeput doesn’t stop the herpes outbreaks, but it eases the pain and lessons their duration. I found the Oil of Cajeput to be more effective for me than Plantain. My outbreaks start out as little pimples which eventually become blisters. Oil of Cajeput interrupts this cycle so the blisters aren’t so severe. I apply the oil to my inner thigh and any other location where I break out externally, even the anal area (please pardon the graphic nature of this testimonial, but I want to help others) It is a strange sensation, but it doesn’t hurt." —K.S., Loveland, OH

"My herbalist, Claudia Bernard, recommended Oregon Grape to me. After just one week of taking the Oregon Grape the benefits have been remarkable. My sinuses have been clear for the first time in 22 years, and my sinus headaches have disappeared. I have also noticed a complete change in my appetite, and my sugar cravings have been almost completely eliminated. I have suffered from acne since I was 13 years old, and for the first time my skin is starting to clear up. I also have more energy, and feel less groggy after waking up. What a difference!" —D. Mix, Cincinnati, OH

"I was born on 3-13-37 and am now 67 years old. I started having low back pain in 1990. The pain kept getting worse and worse and I had to give up my jogging routine the last week of February 2003. My heart was acting up and I had a lot of chest pain and low back pain. I went from medical doctor to medical doctor and they all said my heart was fine and to just apply heat to my back. They also gave me pain pills which altered my thinking ability. I did finally find a medical doctor that ordered an MRI for my back and an Echocardiogram for my heart. The result of the test showed Myeloma cancer which had spread into my back. The test results also showed that I had two leaky heart valves and a stiff aorta muscle in my heart. I still didn’t get any help even after the test results. I went to see Reuben on Nov. 14, 2004 at V.C. Christian Charity in Hestand, KY. He gave me herbs for both of my ailments. The Pure Herbs products he gave me were: Heart Tonic Combination, Formula 31, O.C.M., A.C.S., P.C.-C, Carrot Extract, Sanicle, Lapacho, Una De Gato, Red Clover Blended and Whole Apricot. From other companies he also gave me Body Balance, Quadrazyme, L salivarius, Psyllium Hulls Comb. and 35% peroxide. Glory to God, on Dec. 12, 2004 my back pain and my chest pain were gone! Thank you God in Heaven. I praise you with all my being. Your herbs are the most wonderful things on Earth. It’s wonderful to finally be out of bed and doing my work again!" —Your Friend in Christ, Mrs. D. Anderson

Day 1: Body Balance — 3 or 4 oz daily in the morning.

*PLEASE NOTE: 35% Hydrogen Peroxide — Start with 1 drop, in 8 oz of water, twice daily. Work up to 20 drops twice daily, adding 1 drop per day. "I started taking the above herbs on Nov. 14, 2004. I got Myeloma cancer in 1990, but was not diagnosed until Sept. 20, 2004. I’m out of bed now and able to do my house work and my chest pains are gone! These herbs have given me my life back and I owe it all to God. It is very sad that the medical field doesn’t recognize herbs as a healing medicine."

"I have an autoimmune deficiency, which means that I have lots of infections, mainly sinus and respiratory. No matter what I took, they would always come back and I would be miserable. I decided to try Stone Root to see if it would at least alleviate some of the symptoms. To my surprise and excitement the infections stopped completely! My adopted sister is handicapped and tube fed and she also has constant sinus infections. We decided to try the Stone Root on her and her infections have lessened considerably. The herb is put in her feeding tube with water after her meal. I was also taking Whole Apricot for fibroid cysts on the ovaries. Not only did the cyst shrink, to my delight I discovered that my vision had improved while taking Whole Apricot. I wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence and I stopped the herb when my Doctor said my cysts were nothing to worry about anymore. After being off the Whole Apricot for awhile I had to return to wearing my reading glasses to read the paper, needless to say I started taking the Whole Apricot again. Well, it sure was NOT a coincidence, because by the time my bottle was half gone, my vision had improved to where I only need to wear my glasses for very small print! I love the Pure Herbs and I tell everyone about them. The B.P.-W formula is also wonderful for blood purification. I use it about once every four months to keep my immune system up and it has kept me feeling better than I have in years! Thanks, Pure Herbs for giving us such wonderful products." —Cyndi McGee, Great Bend KS

"A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with severe TMS (Temporomandibular Syndrome) and told I would have to have surgery to repair my jaw joints. I have rheumatoid arthritis throughout my body and jaw. My mom bought the Pure Herbs formulas for arthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis (Una De Gato & Chuchuhuasi) and I took them faithfully. Eight months later I went to the dentist for my cleaning and he was amazed that my TMS was healed." —L.K., MI

"I’ve been using V.V.H.-W for about a year now. It keeps the pressure down in my eyes. I have glaucoma. I take one teaspoonful in the morning and one teaspoonful at night in 1/4 glass of distilled water. My pressure is usually 15 or 16. I thank God for Pure Herbs and their herbal remedies." —D. Pustelny, Warren, MI

"I’m so impressed with your Bitter Orange. I have asthma and I have been having a lot of trouble with it over the past year. I have tried medications from my doctor, but I really didn’t feel good about using them, so I tried your Ephedra before the government banned the sale of it. I found some relief, but not enough. I just recently decided to try the Bitter Orange. I used to walk three to four miles a week and my asthma had gotten so bad I couldn’t get very far and I would have to go back home. The day I received the Bitter Orange I took 40 drops and when my son asked if I would go for a walk with him I thought well lets see what’s going to happen. Much to my surprise and his too, I walked the full three miles around our country block! I had no problem at all thanks to the Bitter Orange. I now carry it with me in my purse, just in case I forget to take it in the morning. The only time I have trouble breathing now when I walk is when I have forgotten to take the Bitter Orange so that is why I carry it with me. If I do forget to take my Bitter Orange as soon as I remember I will take 40 drops and wait five minutes and then I’m ready to go! Thanks for adding much improvement to my life. I can once again enjoy going for a walk which is something I was afraid I’d not be able to do again. God Bless You " —Michelle, Chesterfield, MI

"We love the herbs, they are all wonderful and have helped us so very much. I could probably write you half a dozen testimonials, but am only sending a few for now. My husband had two major back surgeries a few years ago due to a car accident. He had herniated disks in his neck, thoracic and lumbar of his back and was on 13 extra strength Vicodin just to walk. We had gone to Kentucky to see Rueben Schwartz and he suggested several herbs to rub on my husbands back for pain. After only about four days my husband had enough relief from the herbs that he stopped taking the Vicodin. He just quit cold turkey and had no withdrawal symptoms. The herbs helped him to replace the harmful drug with something natural. Praise the Lord he has been totally healed by God at a Benny Hinn crusade in Chicago since! We still use many herbs for our family of seven. We are very thankful for your company and the quality of the herbs. They make up our medicine cabinet. The herbs used were: Peppermint Oil, Big 5, DSK, Arnica and R.S.T.-C. These were applied to his back 3-4x/day. Also, he took 1,200 iu of Vitamin E capsules daily."***"The second testimonial is from a friend of ours. She started taking Cascara Sagrada capsules for bowel problems which she had suffered with for many years. She would go for weeks without a bowel movement! As a result, she had to have surgery to no avail. When we recommended Cascara Sagrada to her she started taking 2-3 capsules each evening. She had such great results that she came running up to me at church and said nothing has ever helped her like this! She was even able to conceive a child after only a few months of being on the product and she is doing wonderful. She says thank you to Pure Herbs!!! It’s a miracle for her."***"One final testimonial is about our son who broke his big toe. We wrapped it before going to bed with cheese cloth soaked in Arnica and wrapped it in plastic. The next morning his toe was no longer purple, but yellow. The swelling had gone down tremendously and he was not in as much pain. We did this again for two more nights. He could bend it after this and had no more pain. Praise the Lord! God is good and gives us everything we need to make us healthy again and He is using your company to do it."—Becky Rhea, Lee IL 

"I am so thankful to have Pat Courter as my advisor (and friend). She has such patience with me and all my problems and there are plenty. I’m 87 years old and living in a retirement home in Naples, FL. I recently had the occasion to be in the hospital (911 of course) to find out I have an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure. I was forced to go on nebulizors and oxygen, etc., but again Pat came to my rescue with her advice on CH.E.-B. What a wonderful suggestion! I immediately ordered it in the large economy size. Now I not only ingest it, but Pat suggested rubbing it on my chest area and ‘voila’ (behold) I am now able to breath. I am now able to go to the dining room without oxygen. However I do carry my portable just in case. I also love your big Five plus 2 combination for the rest of my external discomforts, like a replaced knee (an aging one from 15 years ago), broken collar bone and neck pain. What a relief to find Pure Herbs and Pat Courter!" —Ethel Carpenter, Naples, FL

"I have used two bottles of Chlorella. My experience has been a very positive one. Within the first week I felt an increase in energy due to the fact it is high in B-12. My energy was sustained all through the day. I also like the fact that it is helping my body to rid itself of pesticides and other toxins. I encourage everyone to make this part of your health enhancing program as I have done. I will continue to have Chorella as a staple in my personal program. Thank you, Dr. Watkins!" —Marcella Angelou, Basking Ridge, NJ

"I had wonderful success with your Virginia Snake Root and just had to share a testimonial about the product. I purchased a bottle of Virginia Snake Root at the beginning of the summer to have on hand for bee stings. Two days ago, I was stung by a wasp on the heel of my hand. It took about five minutes to get to my bottle of Virginia Snake Root, and in that time my entire hand and wrist were cramping up and in severe pain. I put a dropper full of the Virginia Snake Root on a cotton puff and taped the soaked puff over the point of the sting. Within five minutes, the pain had centralized back into the point of the sting, and all of the cramping was gone. Within 30 minutes, all symptoms of the sting were gone! There was only a tiny red dot to show that the sting had ever happened. I am so impressed with Virginia Snake Root! God bless!" —Cynthia Snyder, Biglerville, PA

"I had a hysterectomy in 1991 because of fibroid tumors. I feel if I had been familiar with Pure Herbs at the time, this would not have been my choice. I would have tried herbs instead. I was put on hormones after my hysterectomy which I seemed to need at the time. I did try to go without them, but ended up on them for ten years. I finally stopped taking them when I started hearing negative reports about hormones. I stopped the artificial hormones and started taking 40 drops of Dong Quai every morning instead. I feel great; no problem with memory, decreased energy, mood swings or hot flashes and my skin looks better than ever before. My husband and I tell all of our friends of my success with Dong Quai. Thank you, Pure Herbs." —M.C., Beechgrove, IN

"Good news for me! I’m 72 years old and have had two bad falls in my lifetime which made me need to go to my chiropractor at least every three to four weeks. I started on Ol’ Number 11 months ago and now find I’m only going to him about every six to seven weeks. I’m taking just two droppers full in the morning and two at night. Thank you, Pure Herbs." —B.H., Dover, NJ

"I am a new Distributor who joined in May 2004. In June I woke up with a very sore throat. My first normal reaction would have been to take a large dose of Ibuprofen, but since joining Pure Herbs I wanted to treat everything naturally. I called my herbalist teacher, Bella Vladimirsky and she suggested I gargle with sea salt in warm water, rub Oil of Cajeput on my throat 3x/day and to take 40 drops of TL.-C 3x/day. Well, I started the regimen at 4pm and was able to do all three things three times before going to bed. When I woke up the next morning at 8am there was no pain or swelling at all! I continued with the regimen all that day and the sore throat never returned. Who says herbs have to take a long time to work! Thank you!" —Mary Corbett, McAllen, TX

"My name is Marcelle, I was introduced to Pure Herbs products by Jim Grodon my ongoing Herbalist-life-saver. My medical doctors were so sure I had an ulcer, but came up with no diagnosis after putting me through test after test . . . Ultrasounds on my entire abdomen area, upper G.I., full CBC blood work that showed absolutely nothing. Zip, Zilch, I mean nada, not a thing wrong with me medically. But yet I couldn’t eat, sleep, work or even drive anymore. I finally went to see Jim after convincing my husband to drive me, because I was sure he would help me . . . Well he did! My body was shutting down from depression and anxiety due to a lot of stress and trauma in my life. Anyhow, he put me on Lady’s Slipper, Cudweed, Golden Bough and Universal ER with Aspen. Yet another prayer answered. During my recovery I had two major tragedies happen and I had to go on Xanax and Adavant, but miraculously I weaned myself off after just one month. The anxiety and panic attacks that paralyzed me are subsiding and I lost 45 to 50 pounds. Praise be to God, Jim and Pure Herbs. Thank you!" —Marcelle, Allentown, PA

"My name is Irene Bottelo. My father is 81 years old and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His PSA was 4.8. After six months of being on the following herbal supplements: Red Clover Blended, Sanicle, White Pond Lily, Whole Apricot, Una De Gato, Sutherlandia, Barleylife and Herbal Fiber Blend, his PSA is now 0.8 and his medical doctors can’t believe it! My father also takes DB.8-W, Five Good, Three Bees and KID-W for his diabetes, which is now under control. We are happy to be able to buy the best herbs on the market from Pure Herbs, Ltd. Thank you very much for helping people to stay healthy and avoid surgery in many cases." —Irene Bottelo, McAllen, TX

"I would like to express our gratitude for Bitter Orange. It is true - change can bring about the good. This herb comes to our family at a time when A.E.A.-B (with Ephedra) was not working with Spring pollens and congestion. Bitter Orange is doing just fine this Fall, and I have high expectations for the Spring of 2005. In addition, I believe it helped my daughter to heal after a nasty lower respiratory infection. Thank you as always, Dr. Watkins!"—The Twill Family, Summit, NJ

"I wanted to share with you one of my experiences with the miraculous-like healing ability of Ol’ Number 11. Our daughter, who is skilled in alternative medicine, when she discovered Ol’ Number 11 during her training for her N.D. suggested I try it. I trip over things frequently due to a turned out foot. I also have always bruised easily. I am now in my fifties and have had many ‘nasty’ falls in my lifetime. What happened recently seemed just short of a miracle! I tripped over a turned up rug, was thrust into a door jam, hitting my shoulder, then fell hard to the floor landing on my knees and wrists. Before my eyes, the places I hit began to swell and turn purple. As soon as I was helped off the floor, Ol’ Number 11 was applied to all the spots hit and I also took some internally (40 drops initial dose, 20 drops 3x the day I fell and 20 drops 2x the next day). I have experienced the results of bad falls so many times before that I felt I knew what to expect—soreness for days with perhaps great pain to move about. But this time it was different! To begin with, everything seemed to reverse before my eyes! The swelling and purple coloring began to disappear just as quickly as it had appeared! I reapplied Ol’ Number 11 and took it internally three more times that day. The results? I was only a little tender to the touch! It brings tears to my eyes to think of the agony I could have suffered had our daughter not shared with me this wonderful herbal combination! I never want to be without it! I always want to have it on hand for emergencies! Truly Ol’ Number 11 is a God send! Thank you, Pure Herbs!"—Dottie Rohrer, NC

"Recently my mother’s mouth dropped and her right arm went numb. She said she needed Herbal Adjustment. I told her I thought she was having a stroke. She said ok, but I still need Herbal Adjustment. I put 40 drops of Herbal Adjustment in a large glass of water and she drank it down. About five hours later she was still having trouble swallowing so I took her to the hospital. The doctors said there was no sign of a stroke. My mom is 80 years old and I don’t think she would have been around for the last five years without her Herbal Adjustment. Thank you!"—Jake Schwartz, Canaan, IN

"I am so thankful that the knowledge of God’s healing herbs have been passed down from generation to generation and that ‘special’ people doing God’s work are continually studying their uses for better health. The testimonials are so important to us. Recently my grandson who is ten years old was sent home from school along with several other children with what they said was an upper respiratory infection or viral sinus infection and stomach virus. I took him to the doctor and had them take a lung x-ray and found out he had pneumonia. He never cries, but he was crying this time. He said he ached all over and that his throat hurt so bad that he couldn’t swallow. He would also vomit when he put anything in his stomach. He wouldn’t let me trickle some E.T.I.-W down his throat, but he would sip on my homemade saline (which is water in a glass plus sugar till sweet then a dash of salt). He was also on an antibiotic from the doctor because of the pneumonia. Now let me tell you how wonderful Sports Cream Plus is. I rubbed it on his sore throat, behind his ears and on every aching part of his body five times that night; the next day several times and by the third day he said he didn’t ache any more. I also rub Sports Cream on my foot when I start getting spasms in it (ever since I had surgery on that foot because I couldn’t walk on it any more and was in so much pain). Now when I get cramps and spasms in my leg, hip and groin I rub Sports Cream Plus on the aching areas in the evening before going to bed. It stops the spasms almost immediately. I have introduced Sports Cream Plus to all of my family and friends who complain of pain. I am thankful for Sports Cream Plus!"—Janet Coons, Johnstown, NY

"I have been a Pure Herbs Distributor since the beginning of this year. I have high cholesterol and my doctor tried a couple of different medications. The first medication I tried was Lipitor, but after a few months of taking this medication I started to have a problem with my liver. Next, I tried Zocor and after awhile I started to notice I was in pain all of the time. I found out one of the side effects was muscle and joint pain. I stopped taking the Zocor and decided to try Pure Herbs products. After reviewing the information I received from Pure Herbs I decided to try O.C.M. 1/2 teaspoon 3x/day along with one Tablespoon of liquid Lecithin and 1/2 teaspoon of Flax Seed just before bedtime. My total cholesterol has dropped ten points with my HDL up four points and my LDL down 15. Thank GOD for Pure Herbs products and for the helpful staff that works there."—Lamar Harris, Clinton Twp, MI

"I feel compelled to write a testimonial for the Bitter Orange extract. I have been suffering with breathing problems for about three months. What began as walking pneumonia ended with a severe case of bronchitis. My airways have been very tight and restricted. After one dose of Bitter Orange under my tongue, my airways opened up and my chronic cough was silenced, all within seconds. Also, my eleven year old daughter came home from school recently complaining of extreme nausea and stomach ache. I gave her 20 drops of Bitter Orange under her tongue and within 15 to 20 minutes she felt 100% better and was able to eat supper with no more complaints. In my opinion, Bitter Orange is very effective and also very tasty. I am so impressed and grateful that such products are available to one and all. Thank you Pure Herbs for such superior products."—Angela Conrad, Newport, VT

"On Nov. 5, 2002, my 11 month old son was diagnosed with a rare illness called Kawasaki Syndrome and was admitted to the hospital. Two weeks prior to this my son was developing different illnesses. It started with a fever, and then went on to an ear infection, to flu like symptoms. In and out of the doctor’s office my son was not getting better. On Nov. 4, 2002, my son was surprisingly out of energy and his fever continued. That night we noticed small red patches developing around his ears. The next morning before leaving to work I discovered red patches from head to toe. My son was taken to his doctor and after a few testes we were told to take him to the hospital. An infection specialist felt it was Kawasaki Syndrome. The only problem was that there is no known cause to the illness and no test that confirms that my son has it. During the treatment, I didn’t notice my son getting any better, so I decide to intervene and use what I know best and that is herbal medicine. I went to see my colleague and friend Bella Vladimirsky in order to combine our knowledge and heal my son. We decided to treat the symptoms and boost the immune system. Here is what we used: Burdock – to clean the liver and aide the skin condition, Olive leaf – in case of a virus, Formula Max – to provide the body with vitamins, minerals and strength (since he couldn’t move after he had already begun to walk), Three Bees – used as a natural antibiotic and to provide a large amount of energy in order to speed his recovery to walk and sleep less as he was doing the majority of the time, Virginia Snake Root – as a poison antidote and to reduce his fevers, White Oak Bark – as a natural antibiotic in case bacteria was involved, Red Clover Blended – to clean the blood and provide immunity, IM.S.-W – to boost his immune system. Almost instantly, my son began to improve after being started on this herbal program. My son finally sweated after 2 1/2 weeks of hospital treatment which was going nowhere and only one day of herbal treatment. As rare as the illness was, he developed the rarest, most serious symptoms of the illness. His heart valves were dilated with aneurysms and his valves were narrowing. This was discovered after he was released from the hospital, which was a few days after starting his herbal program. After a few tests, results showed that the majority of the symptoms were taken care of. The herbs I continued to give my son were Olive Leaf, White Oak Bark, Three Bees, Virginia Snake Root as needed for fevers, and IM.S.-W. For his heart condition I started him on H.T. Combination and Formula 31. In March he was taken to Driscoll Children’s Hospital where they performed a heart catheterization. Prior to the test the medical doctors felt the results would be bad, but that was not the case, he dramatically improved with only one valve with a very small problem. The doctors are still shocked at my son’s improvement. To this day, he continues to take IM.-S.-W, H.T. Combination, and Formula 31. I thank you Pure Herbs, Ltd. for your excellent products and for giving myself and Bella the ability to defeat this rare illness and to provide my son with excellent health."—Peter Lozano, Jr., Pharr, TX

"Our grandson sometimes gets a horrible croupy cough, so we decided to try C.C.-W on him with wonderful results. It stopped the cough almost immediately. Thank the Lord for the gift of herbs and for knowledgeable people who know how to put the combinations together. We also helped our grandson when he got a kidney infection and was in awful pain. We gave him Cornsilk, Marshmallow and Echinacea. Within three hours he was able to urinate totally pain free. I couldn’t believe how fast he improved! Herbs really do work! They’re God’s medicine and who can make things better than our Creator?"

Our first step should always be to eliminate those foods and beverages that aren’t contributing to health. To free up body energy to deal with antigens (undesirable elements) it seems only logical that we would not want to add to its workload, slow down the cleansing process and distress it further by continuing to eat and drink or otherwise expose it to other sources of poison. If you enjoy using the expression, ‘Hey, we gotta live in the real world’ to justify your food and drink, please know that the world’s diseases may also be yours to enjoy sooner and in a greater measure. Immediately after the dental procedure I applied Arnica to my face and upper and lower jaw hourly for the first day. I took 5 drops of Arnica 4x a day for the shock to my entire system for about 7 days. I drank about 2 quarts of cilantro green drink daily for about 2 months. I applied Indian Tobacco and L.C.-W under the jaw and neck to encourage the lymph's to release poisons. I applied Vitamin E, Oil of Cajeput, Arnica and Scullcap to my gums to soothe the violated nerves. Because of their analgesic properties, I was also relieved of the need for a pharmaceutical pain killer as such deep and extensive dental work may require.

When cleansing, it is imperative that the ‘plumbing’ or the way out be open. I used 80 drops each of C.C.E.-W and L.B.R.-W in the AM and PM. If your diet lacks vegetable and whole grain fiber, add Psyllium to your regimen to bind and help transport poisons out of the body. Some people would benefit from a series of colonics (colon irrigation). 

On the cellular level, we know the body uses minerals to clean itself. I used Research Formula 80 drops 4x/day. A.C.S. and T-W are other wonderful sources. The sea vegetables have a capability to bind inorganic mineral and radiation. In our EMF (Electro magnetic fields) polluted environment they are truly our friends. On such an intense cleansing regimen, one might consider the use of Black Cohosh, Plantain and Virginia Snake Root as poison antidotes. I used 80 drops of each 4x/day for the first week and then 3x/day thereafter.

I used 80 drops of Formula Three and True American Ginseng each 3x/day for adaptogenic support for my body’s overall distress. It takes energy to cleanse. Also, 80 drops a day of Sarsaparilla for its lymphatic support and affinity to pull heavy metals. They’ll put a smile on your face! I knew it was working because my friends kept asking me what I was grinning about. They said, ‘What has gotten into you?’ to which I replied, ‘I believe it’s what’s getting out.’ I took 80 drops of Ginkgo and Gota Kola each 3x/day for their brain enhancing, heavy metal pulling properties. I believe they helped to remove mercury’s finger from the ‘delete button’ of my short-term memory banks. And don’t be surprised to be remembering things you’d rather forget. Take this cleansing opportunity to let the old morbid, mental material go as well.

My kidneys and bladder let me know they did not appreciate the mercury now being eliminated through their channels. Cornsilk Comb and Buchu gave me immediate relief. I took 80 drops of each and repeated the doses an hour later. The discomfort passed. Our lymph's tend to act as a repository when the body is on poison overload. My lymph's are especially sluggish. I encouraged them to release by using 20 drops 3x/day of Red Root and 60 drops 3x/day of Goldenseal & Echinacea. 

Bad guys are opportunistic. They will gravitate toward a location of least resistance, move in, shut the place down and take over. This must be a principle of life, because it is also true within the body. For instance, my heart, liver, pancreas, lungs an are working well and didn’t need assistance through this detox, but as my neurogenic eye signs indicate, the (CNS) Central Nervous System (brain & spinal cord) is not my strongest component. It sustained the greatest injury from the mercury. For (CNS) repair and comfort I took 80 drops each of Scullcap and Lady’s Slipper 3x/day. I also took 5 to 10 drops of Indian Tobacco 3x/day. Thanks to a compassionate Creator all of life is cyclic and so is cleansing. My energy level and clarity of mind have been sustained over this past year and I’ve had some rough days as well. Recognizing the "not so good’ days as being ‘more cleansing,’ I am welcoming the elimination of yet another pocket or layer of mercury. The amalgams were put in between the ages of 10 and 15 years old. The ‘big 60’ is not far off. Those were whole decades to absorb and store a known poison.

"My husband has osteoarthritis in his hands. He has tried several different natural remedies with no relief. Finally, he tried L.P.-W (Liquid Pearle). On the second day he remarked that his hands no longer ached. He continues to take Liquid Pearle and is pain free. He takes one half dropper full three times a day."—Barbara Burr, Derby, VT

"Our beloved 11 1/2 year old dog Barney was diagnosed with Canine Anemia/Auto-immune Disease (his white blood cells were attacking and destroying his red ones). The Veterinarian put him on Prednisone and antibiotics with little encouragement for his recovery. When I asked Dr. Watkins if he had any suggestions, he immediately said Sutherlandia, Greasewood, Protein, HI.I.-W and A.C.S. He also said Vitamin E would oxygenate the bloodstream and assist the herbs. He said to apply them to the pads of his feet. We were surprised at how absorbent the pads were. They soaked up the herbs like sponges. The improvement was quickly noticed by everyone. The Vet said it was ‘amazing’ how well he was responding to their treatments (we hadn’t told them about the herbs). In our last contact with them, they said they could not get over how well our Barney had gotten. They said that by all accounts Barney should no longer be with us. Thank you Pure Herbs and Dr. Watkins. We now have Barney on A.M.F.-W (Animal Maintenance Formula) which we plan to continue as long as he is with us."— A  friend

"I am a Nutritional Counselor and Therapist. This is my husbands success story: In Florida we have several different kinds of parasites. My husbands back was attacked by parasites and was all puffed up like a growth or something. It got fatter and fatter! We had it evaluated by a professional and they said it was parasites. For three months we tried herbs and other remedies with no success. Orinoco Extract did help with the pain. This growth was three inches in diameter and was located on his spine. It was the size of a goose egg and very painful! I put two drops of Sutherlandia straight onto the growth and lightly spread it around until it was absorbed into the skin. I repeated this procedure two-three times per day. The growth began to shrink and the pain began to decrease. During the next three weeks it just kind of went away. There was a minor recess and the skin looked stained, but it is continuing to heal very nicely and has a healthy color as it is healing! It also healed my intestinal infection! Thank you Pat Courter for sharing Sutherlandia with me and Pure Herbs for making this wonderful product available to us."—Lynn, Ft. Myers.

"When I was 70 years old, approximately two years ago, on February 20th I was riding my bike when a taxi hit me. I was knocked to the pavement and ended up with ten broken bones. The doctor that saw me from emergency was great. He let me continue my herb nutrient program in the hospital. Used Ol’ Number 11 after every meal, one dropper full. I also rubbed Arnica and Big Five on my broken ribs and broken collar bone and my bruised ankle. I also used both of these on my broken knee cap until it was in a permanent cast and then I couldn’t reach it. At night I took one dropper full of Willow. My cast was removed on April 18th and I continued using my herbs. By the middle of May, after receiving physical therapy and learning how to walk again, I was able to go back to my Librian job. On June 14 I was able to ride my bike again. I still continue to take Ol’ Number 11 for arthritis which has eased up quite a bit since taking this product. My doctor said that for all I’ve been through I have made a remarkable recovery. I’m glad he is not opposed to me using my herbal supplements. I am grateful for my Pure Herbs products and your company! Keep helping people in this prescription crazy world."—Sister Mary Steinkamp, SNJM, Portland, OR

"I’ve suffered with Endometriosis since I was sixteen and I am now thirty something. Back in 1991, my doctor told me I would have to have a surgical procedure to remove the damaged tissue. So I did. After the surgery I found out that the surgeons removed what they could, but on my left side they were unable to remove the damaged tissue which was wrapped around my bowel, fallopian tube, and ovary. They said this would require about ten hours of surgery. I decided to look into other options. I decided to wait on more surgery since one month after the original surgery the junk that was removed was back. The doctors put me on hormone replacement for about 6 months which I was told ‘might help, but no guarantees’. Of course, this hormone replacement just made me a crazy women with hot flashes and did nothing to help with the Endometriosis. My doctor then decided to put me on a continuous cycle of birth control so I could decide when I wanted to suffer with the relentless pain. He recommended I only have a period two times per year. So up until February of 2003, this is what I did. I still did have pain during my cycles, but it was only really bad pain for a day or two. I finally grew tired and worried about being on the birth control for so many years, especially since it was not completely helping me with the unbearable cramping. So I went off of it. Since I do the Newsletters here at Pure Herbs, Ltd. and see all of the testimonials that come, in I knew we had about four testimonials on Red Clover Blended helping women in the same situation as me. I had tried it years ago, but not faithfully or for long enough. I decided to really give it a go! By May 2003, I had NO UNBEARABLE CRAMPS for the first time since I was 16, over half of my lifetime. I couldn’t believe it, but told all of my friends, co-workers and family members. Dr. Watkins, of course wanted me to print my testimonial in our Newsletter. I said I would after waiting one more month to be sure this was for real. Well, as you can read from my testimonial, it worked. Two beautiful months in a row of no cramps and looking forward to a life without those awful days! I am truly grateful to Reuben Schwartz for all of the testimonials his clients sent in which he had helped them with their Endometrioses. I am also grateful to Dr. Watkins and Pure Herbs, Ltd. for without this job I may never have known about Red Clover Blended and might have had more surgeries than I want to think about. Since February 2003, I have also taken Can-Sol capsules (one-two/day) Oregon Grape (one dropper full daily) and 1 cup, about 6 oz., green drink* in addition to the Red Clover Blended. These seem to be helping with my Fibromyalgia and I’m sure my Endometriosis too! So if the Red Clover Blended alone doesn’t work for you add these other products. I hope every women out there with Endometriosis will try this and not have to suffer any longer!"—Kim Clark, Sterling Hgts., MI

"VANITY RULES! Just one 4 oz. Bottle of R.S.T.-C taken orally and applied externally to my face twice daily in the a.m and p.m. and I am no longer considering facial surgery. I am 63 years young. My skin had large pores and make-up would leak like blackheads. It made my wrinkles look awful. After just one bottle of the R.S.T.-C I noticed a difference immediately. I can only imagine what I will look like if I stay on the R.S.T.-C forever as a daily regimen! Look out Miss America!"—Suzanne Fraeyman, Warren, MI

"Recently, on a Friday, a customer came into my store with a toothache. Her jaw had swollen and was spreading down her neck and up to her ear. She was in considerable pain and had a slight fever. The local dentist was out of town until Monday. Scanning the shelves, my eye caught the E.T.I.-W formula. With its antibiotic properties of Echinacea and Myrrh and the special affinity White Oak Bark has for the gums, it was a perfect choice. I advised her to take a dropper full four times per day. I also suggested that she soak a cotton ball in warm water and E.T.I.-W and apply it directly to the tooth. She stopped in on Tuesday, all smiles, no pain and no swelling. She was amazed at the quick relief."—Susie Yelverton, Smithville, TN

"I have dark brown hair and I use henna to color it. The Henna fades rather fast, but I found by using a mix of Rosemary and Sage in a separate bottle at the rate of 50/50 and applying the mixture directly to my scalp with a dropper the Henna does not fade. It also maintains a rich color!"—Sheila Naidu, Kennesaw, GA

"My daughter, Shannon, miscarried a baby in 2001 at 20 weeks gestation. She became pregnant again a few month later and began to have slight cramping (contractions) almost every 30 minutes at about 10 weeks. Her OB/GYN advised her to stay on complete bed rest, but the contractions continued anyway and he predicted she would miscarry again. I prayed with all my heart that I would find a way to help my daughter. Then, after researching through my HRG (Herbal Research Group) Volumes, I called Pure Herbs and asked for the Crampbark and False Unicorn formula to be overnighted to me. I began my daughter on the formula and she felt her contractions subside within 20 minutes of taking it. She took the Crampbark and False Unicorn 40 drops every four to six hours and it would control the irritability of the uterus and calm the cramps. She never had to set a clock to remember to take it because the cramps would come back about the time the formula was due to be taken. We added Red Raspberry Leaf 40 drops twice a day and P.N.-W 40 drops twice a day also. Each week, we thanked God as we made a new milestone in the pregnancy. She was able to make it to full-term, thanks to our Good Lord, and to Pure Herbs for providing the formulas that saved my grandbaby's life. Joseph was born on October 29th, 2002, at 38 weeks gestation, weighting 6 lbs. 11oz., healthy and happy! By the way, my daughter's labor was very light and lasted just four hours, thanks to L.6W the last month and Blue Cohosh for the last two weeks. She took the Blue Cohosh during her labor and afterwards. She delivered without any type of anesthesia or pain medicine. She had no episiotomy either. Two hours after delivering the baby, she commented that she felt as if she hadn't even had a baby. Shannon is a size zero or two. She handled this delivery with confidence and calmness. Our family has so much to be thankful for….Joseph is now 2 months old, breastfeeding well and weighting about 12 pounds!….Shannon has now switched to several other Pure Herbs formulas to ensure a good supply of breast milk (Blessed Thistle) and plenty of nutrition and stamina herbs (Three Bees, A.C.S., Rice Bran, Bilberry and others)….And we are fortunate to be associated with a company named Pure Herbs that allows itself to be a true instrument of God, reaching out to those who need His healing herbs. Thank you, Dr. Watkins for your personal commitment to helping others and thanks to all of you that help make Pure Herbs possible….thank you, Bella Vladimirsky, for introducing me to this awesome company….words seem so inadequate to express my gratitude to all of you. May God bless and protect you today and always!"--Patti Felici, McAllen, TX"

"I am happy to say Solomon Wickey’s Can-sol capsules really worked for my candida (yeast infection). I had a bad dose of it under my breasts. It was extremely itchy and it would bleed and crack open. It was very painful. When I received the pamphlet on the Can-sol capsules, I decided to give them a try. I’m happy to report that the candida is almost completely gone. What I used was Can-sol capsules six twice per day along with three Acidophilus each time the Can-sol was taken. It works! Thank you Solomon and the good Lord that gives him the wisdom to know what to put together that works!"—S. M.Due West, S.C.

"Oh happy day the day dry spots are going away! I have been using Herbal Adjustment for dry spots that have been appearing on my body, and they are just about gone. I had read in one of Dr. A. B. Howard's books that Herbal Adjustment would destroy liver spots so I decided to try it on dry spots and they are just about gone. It has taken a long time, but I was persistent in doing so. Dr. Howard had stated that it takes patience for things like this to disappear. I am also continuing to use the Peppermint Oil for the allergies and headaches that I get from odors. Whenever I go somewhere I have an opportunity to give a kleenex that has the oil on it. People are shocked when they smell it and it helps them so quickly. It has been truly a blessing to be a part of this company and to be able to help people to get well without drugs. Thank you Dr. Watkins and staff."—Kathleen Marasco Elgin, S.C.

"After reading the testimonials regarding RST-C from Peggy Ames and Lon and Sherry Slider in the Dec 2001/Jan 2002 newsletter, I wanted to give RST-C a try! I had been experiencing discomfort in the lower bowel and pelvic area due to prior
C-sections as well as scar tissue and a prolapsed bowel from an amoebae infection. My 15 year old daughter was also still having pain from her 1997 appendectomy. We began by applying RST-C topically as well as taking 40 drops internally. My daughter also took 40 drops of Mayapple three times per day. Within a week, my daughter's pain was gone and within two weeks, I passed a mass of tissue through the bowel and was also pain free! One month later I severely burned my arm french pressing coffee so I applied RST-C to the burn area, soaked in gauze, and changed the dressing twice a day. Now there is no scar or sign of anything! My arm completely healed. Because of these amazing results, I decided to add 40 drops of RST-C to my daily facial wash, as well as my face and body lotion. After about two months what a difference it made in my complexion! Scars and wrinkle lines are disappearing and my face has a healthy glow. And no blemishes! At least a dozen people at church have started asking me what I'm doing. They all say I am looking much younger! I also added 40 drops of RST-C to my daughter's facial wash and astringent and her blemishes are disappearing too! As a teenager, you can imagine how thrilled she is! Thanks, Pure Herbs!"--Roxanne Rodriguez, McAllen, TX

"I had to contact you folks and thank you. My grandmother was the center of our very large family and one of the things she swore by was Gold Thread! To us, it was the thing to use for mouth sores, etc. But, when Grandma died in 1984, the secret of where to get Gold Thread was lost and I never thought I'd see it again. I've seen references to it on different herb web sites, but I've never found anyone who actually sold it, so when I found your site and saw that you had it for sale it was actually a very poignant experience for me (as strange as that may sound!). So, I just wanted to thank you. My order has been placed and I can't wait for my little package to arrive. In a way it seems a little silly, but that little package will mean a great deal to me!""I have arthritis in my shoulders and my one hip. I could not lift my one arm first thing in the morning. In the beginning of December 2002 I started taking Devil's Claw. In a little over three weeks when I wake up in the morning I no longer have the aches and pains I used to have. My knees are also feeling better. I can now stoop down and get up with no problem thanks to Devil's Claw. I take two droppers full 2x/day."--Barbara Hastey

"I have had a terrible problem with acid-reflux for several years. My chiropractor says I have a hiatal hernia. About every two to three months she (my chiropractor) has had to pull the hernia down. When she does this procedure it hurts like crazy, but the end result is I don't have the reflux problem for a month or two. Last year my chiropractor was away for three weeks and I was suffering terribly. I couldn't even sleep well at night because of the reflux. So I pulled out all of my herb books and researched like crazy to find something that could possibly help my situation. What I found was by using Papaya Mints and Formula Twelve 40-80 drops before meals I don't suffer from the reflux problem. It is truly amazing! I wish I would have found this solution years ago. Since using these two herbs together, I have not had to have my chiropractor pull the hernia down and endure that pain. I'm very grateful and fortunate to have the herbs at my fingertips.""I am 65 years old and have had kidney stones for 30 years.  I have had stones so large that I could not pass them so doctors had to use laser treatment to burst the stones in order for me to be able to pass them.  I have had this treatment twice.  The stones came back again.  I decided to seek other alternatives.  Someone told me about a man named Rueben Schwartz who is a natural practitioner.  I decided to go see him.  He told me about a product called S.D.-R.  I decided to give it a try.  I began taking the S.D.-R and within one and a half weeks I began to pass small stones (nine in all that I was aware of).  These passed without any pain at all.  I do not intend to ever be without a bottle of  S.D.-R in case of problems.  Thank God for Rueben and Pure Herbs and S.D.-R."
--Randall Goodman, Lafayette, TN  

Note from Dr. Watkins:  If you take A.C.S. (All Cell Salts) along with the S.D.-R it will help balance out the minerals in the body, which is extremely important to do.

"A few months ago I gave a bottle of D.A.N.-C to my daughter in New Jersey.  She, like many others in the metropolitan New York area, has felt much more anxiety and tension than usual, since 9-11.  It was hard for her to get up and go into work every morning and not focus on the negativity which surrounded her.  Since taking the D.A.N.-C, she is not as uptight over the things that have happened and she feels more relaxed and more calm.  Also, her anxiety and feelings of depression have lessened.  She now has a sense of well-being that all will be ok.  It also seems to strengthen the nervous system.  In order for the D.A.N.-C to be effective you need to take it on a daily basis."
--Sheila Kaplowitz, Hendersonville, NC

"In 1990 my wife was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver by biopsy.  With medicines given by doctors she held her own until 2000, at which time she started to have other multiple problems which placed her on the transplant list for a liver.  After a year and a half on the transplant list she was further diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension.  After numerous stays in the hospital, additional medicines and being put on oxygen full time, the doctors determined she wasn't strong enough to go through a liver/lung transplant and took her off the transplant listing.  The last time in the hospital was July 2002 and when I brought her home she was in an essentially comatose state, sleeping all the time and not able to move around by herself.  The doctors called and said she had only 'weeks to 2 months left'.  As this was totally unexceptable, we decided to go another route.  On August 3rd, 2002 we went to an Iridologist and went on an herbal program.  After one week she could breathe and move around by herself.  It is now October 12th, 2002 and we are still holding in there.  We are still a long way from being 'cured', if possible, but the outlook is sure better than the doctors gave us.  A listing of Pure Herbs products used:  A.E.A.-B, L.-W, HT. Comb., Herbal Adjustment, P.C.-C, Red Clover Blended, Milk Thistle plus other enzyme formulas and minerals.  Note:  Blood tests are still showing high readings, but they are starting to come down some.  Thank God, Pure Herbs and all the people that have helped us with prayers."

"This past spring I was having trouble breathing.  I went to the Herb House to see if they would help me.  I started taking Thyme.  In only a few days my breathing was strong and I no longer felt like I was smothering.  It was so amazing!  Thanks so much.  If any one should have trouble breathing I would highly recommend Thyme.  I go to the Herb House in Covington, IN and the people there are so helpful and nice."

"This testimonial is for the products, Arnica Oil Blend and R.S.T.-C (Repair Scar Tissue).  My husband had a hernia repair last October.  It was bad enough that the doctor had to put a mesh in place.  My husband continued for two months with severe pain and severe constipation.  His doctor said be patient, a man of his age, 66, will take quite a while to heal and sent him home.  I suspected he had adhesions and had him see our family doctor.  The scan confirmed a terrible amount of adhesions.  The doctor told us to use whatever means naturally to help, because more surgery would cause more problems.  I researched Pure Herbs and made a poultice of Arnica Oil Blend and R.S.T.-C externally daily.  Internally he took R.S.T.-C 3x/day.  Within one week he began to feel better.  Within six weeks the scar tissue was gone along with the pain and no more constipation.  Thank you Pure Herbs."

"We received a newsletter from Richard Dicks stating that Purple Loosestrife eye washes got rid of cataracts.  My husband decided to try it.  He had received word from eye doctors last year that his one eye which has had a cataract in it, but not growing, was now starting to grow and the other eye was just starting with a cataract.  He decided to do one eye at a time one drop four times per day.  It does sting for a few minutes.  He did each eye for 10 days.  The eye doctor just recently checked his eyes and behold - no cataracts!  Thanks so much!"  P.S.  "This does sting for a few seconds."

"Smidge, Deloris Sipes grand dog took L.6W (last six weeks) the last week of her pregnancy and safely and easily delivered on July 31, 2002.  She continued to take L.6W until her owner determined that the milk production was too much.  The puppies are little butter balls and Smidge is a perfect mother.  Thanks for all you do!"

"Since childhood, my two front teeth overlapped due to crowding.  When in my mid thirties it became fashionable for mature adults to wear braces and so I did,  six months later the braces came off.  The teeth were straight, but I was expected to wear a retainer which felt uncomfortable to me so I tossed it aside.  Shortly after, the teeth overlapped again so I started using A.C.S. and within a year my teeth were straight again.  I use A.C.S. to this day.  At first I used 40 drops three times daily and now I use 40 drops twice daily.  An extra bonus is that my jaw cracking is gone.  Thank you Pure Herbs for your wonderful formulas."

"When we returned home from our vacation we found our 3 year old Silky Terrier on the brink of death.  Evidently he had been having diarrhea and had been throwing up all day.  He was so severely dehydrated that he was unable to walk and was listless and almost unconscious.  My daughter was hysterical!  She wanted us to take Bailey to the vet, but I knew he was near death, so we decided to use our herb arsenal instead.  Since I didn't know what was causing the dog's illness (infection, poisoning or possibly a flea or tick bite reaction), I just grabbed all the poison antidote and antibiotic herbs, as well as A.C.S. and Research Formula, which would help with the dehydration factor.  I began at 10 p.m. administering A.C.S., Research Formula, Black Cohosh, Virginia Snake Root, IM.S.-W, A.M.F.-W, and W.-W, all  by a small dropper intermittently with droppers of water, and kept this going until almost 2 a.m. (four hours).  Bailey threw up the herbs twice during this process, but by 2 a.m., he was able to get up and walk to where his dry food and water had remained untouched during the day, and began to drink water on his own and also began to eat!  I stayed watching him about 30 minutes after that and felt it was safe to go to sleep.  In the morning, we had a brand new puppy!  Bailey was back to normal, as if nothing had ever happened!  I am convinced that if we had taken Bailey to the vet, the dog would probably have died.  My daughter wants to become a vet someday and I hope she will, after seeing the amazing results and use herbs whenever possible to treat her animals.  Thank you Pure Herbs!"

"Additional uses for Virginia Snake Root:  I have a client who has dealt with both environmental and food allergies/sensitivities for many years.  This wonderful woman, coming from a Jamaican background, is delightfully unaffected by the sensationalistic media which aims to frighten people away from herbs.  After she had made marked improvements with de-toxification, she still had some problems with certain foods and environmental symptoms.  After supplying her with Virginia Snake Root to have on hand in case one of her smaller children should need an anti-poison remedy for mosquito bites or accidental ingestion of toxic materials; she surmised (I wish I had thought of this) that the body regards any material that is either undigested or an overload to a sensitive or toxic body, as poison…..that Virginia Snake Root may be helpful to neutralize the reaction in your body.  Now she carries it with her when out to dinner, for instance, so that she can immediately neutralize the percepted poisons and avoid symptoms.  So please keep Virginia Snake Root in your herb cabinet for those times when allergies prevail.  The herb can be taken both internally and applied topically for whatever the situation demands."

"Sports Cream Plus is the best cream I have used for my aches and pains, especially my neck, which has suffered four whiplashes.  I find It also works really well on all other joints and muscles that may be painful.  Whatever the pain of the day is, Sports Cream Plus will make it feel so much better.  I love the smell of it too!  I use it after I shower and at night before I go to bed.  Try it, you'll like it!"

"Repeatedly I had heard that Oil of Cajeput was helpful with the flu and colds, yet I'd not tried using it.  After nearly four months of listening to my 13 year old daughter complain about stuffy sinuses and sinus headaches from a cold in December of 2001, I decided to try the Cajeput.  To my amazement her sinuses opened up in under a week and three of us in the family who were suffering colds, rid ourselves in a few days by sniffing the Oil.  Also, my son got through a nasty flu with very sticky mucus in the nose and chest by using the Oil of Cajeput.  Lastly, my third child who'd  had a boil since November on her thigh, used the Oil on it and it is now almost gone.  I respect this Oil and its many uses.  Thank you!"

"I want to thank Edna Ford for starting me on A.E.A.-B extract for my asthma.  Before taking it I would get bronchitis two or three times a year.  Since taking the A.E.A.-B I haven't had bronchitis for over a year.  I will continue to take this product in hopes of never getting bronchitis ever again."

"My feet, around my heels, developed this thick skin that appeared to be out of control.  Once it was soaked you could begin to remove it, but it was spreading.  I used tea tree oil and kept after it and thought I'd won the battle.  However, it came back and I finally made an appointment with the Podiatrist who was stumped.  Since my visit wasn't until the following week I decided to try and use Olive Leaf extract and it was improving by leaps and bounds.  When I went to see my Podiatrist I explained what I did.  I left information on Olive Leaf extract and cancelled my follow up visit.  Thank you, Olive Leaf extract!"

"I have type 1 diabetes and have developed moderate to severe neuropathy (nerve-suffering) of the right leg and both feet, and also the stomach and chest nerves.  Most days my feet burned uncomfortably by the end of the day, and my legs felt numb and stressed.  Also, I used to get sensations of my heartbeat racing, if my blood sugars dropped too low, or were too high, but lately the neuropathy of those nerves have given no warning of this.  I told a friend about these problems and she suggested I try N.P.-T.  I used the N.P.-T externally on my legs, feet and low back to see if I could get some relief.  After applying the combination for two days, morning and evening, I felt such blessed relief that it was almost unimaginable to me that the herbs could supply so much relief.  I decided to try applying this combination to my stomach and am pleased with the results.  My enormous gratitude to Pure Herbs products and my good friend, Bonnie Miller!"

"A few months ago I visited my Primary Care Physician for a toenail fungus.  I had had the same toenail removed twice before by other physicians over the past five years and each time after growing back, the fungus returned.  He asked me what I wanted to do.  When I told him I wanted to get rid of the fungus and keep the nail, he suggested a polish, told me I would have to use at least four bottles to get rid of it and it would take approximately two months.  I went to pick up the prescription and it was $165.00 per bottle!  When I realized my insurance would not cover it I called my physician.  He told me he would not prescribe anything else because it could cause liver damage. I had a bottle of Oil of Cajeput which I had purchased for a candida protocol.  I called my CNHP (Certified Natural Health Professional) and she told me to use the Oil of Cajeput along with some other things.  My husband told me to just try the Oil of Cajeput by itself, since I already had a bottle.  In the past the fungus got closer to the base of  the nail as the nail grew out.  After using the Oil of Cajeput the nail grew, but as the nail grew out so did the fungus."

"Ever since 1982 I have had severe allergies.  Nothing the doctors have prescribed has helped.  My aunt told me to go see Reuben Schwartz.  I saw him in May 2002 and he told me to try S.I.A.-R (Sinus and Allergy - Reuben Schwartz).  Since I have been on this product I haven't had a problem with allergies.  My first spring without burning eyes, stuffy nose and sneezing.  I can breath!!!  Thank you so much!!!  I am now singing the praises about Reuben Schwartz and Pure Herbs, Ltd."

"I purchased a bottle of Ol' Number 11 for myself, I have lower back problems and had tried DSK which didn't much help me, so I was told to try Ol' Number 11.  The DSK does help my husband, he swears by it!  Anyways, the Ol' Number 11 didn't seem to help me, but here is my testimony:  Our family dog, Nugget, who was 15 years old at the time I used the Ol' Number 11, was trying to jump on the couch and her back legs were not strong enough and she fell back.  I thought she broke her legs.  I took her to the vet and she said she didn't break anything, just might have hyperextended them or sprained them pretty bad.  Well, with her being 15 at the time I thought we would have to put her to sleep, but I wasn't going to give up!   I decided to try the Ol' Number 11 on her one leg and also to pray a lot for her.  By the third day she was able to walk on the one leg.  Praise the Lord!!!  The next day I started applying the Ol' Number 11 to both of her hind legs.  After a couple of days she was walking stronger than ever.  Thanks for distributing a product that a lot of people know works."

"After years of suffering with ankle pain from sports injuries, I was scheduled for ankle fusion surgery.  Since there were no successful results from former individuals who had this surgery done, I decided to cancel the procedure.  I found out about an athletic injury therapist, Rawle Morris in Beaverton, Oregon (Back in Motion).  Rawle inspected my ankles and found them to be the worst ankles he'd ever seen.  He began therapy on them and had me rub on Big Five and Arnica.  He also told me I could take C.C.E.-W, CA.-W, Capsicum, A.C.S. and Grape Seed for a maintenance program.  I did as he advised and after six months much of the pain is gone from my more painful ankle (the right one).  We are now working on my left ankle which is realigning and causing pain.  I know this is a somewhat long process, but  I know with time I will be able to walk again without excruciating pain.  Rawle Morris is a fantastic friend and therapist and Pure Herbs are also my friends!"

"A friend of mine has been trying to get pregnant for over two years.  Her gynecologist diagnosed a thyroid problem and Endometriosis, but never prescribed medication to correct these problems, thank goodness!  After seeing Reuben Schwartz and taking T.-W and Red Clover Blended for six months, not only did her condition improve she is now two months pregnant.  Also, my 13 year old daughter went to Reuben with Endometriosis in October of 2001.  She had been complaining of abdominal pain frequently.  After several months of the Red Clover Blended she is now pain free.  I am so thankful we caught this early.  Reuben Schwartz and Pure Herbs are truly gifts from God."

"I am so thankful and grateful to God and Joan Thompson for the custom blend called E.H.2-T which is the only product I have found to help with depression.  I was not able to use the E.H.-T because it contains St. Johns Wort whereas the E.H.2-T does not.   I have type O blood and cannot tolerate St. Johns Wort.  Also, the E.H.2-T contains an herb called Wolfberry Root which helps to lower my blood pressure and sugar levels.  This blend has been a blessing to me for the above reasons and because I do not have to take prescription medication for depression.  I don't know what I would do with out it.  Thanks so much!"

"My name is Juliann.  I want to thank you for your products!  Last year my nine year old daughter was bitten by a brown recluse spider in the arm.  I had never heard about brown recluses before.  Well, my homework only began . . . I took my daughter to the emergency room after one of my friends said the bug bite was by a brown recluse.  I got on the internet to look up information about brown recluses.  It was a scary ordeal.  The outcome looked grim.  At the hospital the doctor said there was nothing they could do but put steroid cream on her arm and give her antibiotics then wait it out to see how much damage the bite would make.  Then the next step would be to give my daughter skin graphs to repair the damage.  Luckily, I listened to my own inner guide and called a macrobiotic counselor and friend.  By this time the bite had ulcerated to the size of a dime, with a hole, dark red in color.  My friend suggested aloe vera gel and instantly the hole started to turn white.  The aloe vera cooled the wound.  I wasn't satisfied enough with that so the next day  . . . by the guidance from God, I was lead to a local health store which is no longer in business.  There I was turned on to your product P.A.-K and another product called green clay which is from another company.  I made the mixture and applied it to my daughters wound.  It pulled the infection out and later I healed the surface of the skin with an aloe vera, colloidal silver and tea tree mixture.  If not for your product, I feel my daughter would have gone through a tremendous ordeal at the hospital and with surgery that would have left scars on her body and emotional trauma for life.  A few days later I took her to Vanderbilt for them to check the wound just to be sure it was healing.  The doctor there told me whatever I was doing to just keep it up and that the wound was healing and there was nothing else they could do to help it along.  Sooooo, after a long story, A BIG THANK YOU!!!!"

"During 1999, my pregnant daughter complained of side effects of iron tablets prescribed by her doctor.  I encouraged her to try HI.I-W.  She started with 20 drops and increased to 30 drops per day.  Within three days she was calling and telling me how much energy she had and how much better she was feeling.  Needless to say, she continued throughout her pregnancy and delivered a strong, healthy, millennium baby boy. I also had a friend try a bottle of HI.I.-W because she complained of  low energy.  She was amazed at how much better she felt after several days.  She uses 40 drops three times per day following menstruation."

"My name is Rick Louden, Edna Ford's son.  I'm the co-creator of the formulas you manufacture for us.  (F. & F. -F, IS.-F, & HR.-F)  My mom said I should write and tell you about our use of the F. & F.-F, so here it is.  My wife Paula has I.H.S.S. heart (Idiopathic Hypertrophic Sub-Aortic Stenosis).  She is the longest lived survivor of this condition.  We give F.& F.-F a lot of the credit for this as she has to go into I.C.U. at the least bit of a fever.  With her heart condition, the flu can be deadly.  Thanks to taking the F. & F. -F at the first sign of illness, she hasn't been in the hospital (for illness) for many years.  Also, a man I knew at work contracted genital herpes (this was years before we submitted the formulas to Pure Herbs).  He asked if there was anything I knew of that could help with the horrible outbreaks.  An Amish herbalist friend (Solomon Wickey) had told us that our F. & F.-F formula (by his testing) should kill just about any virus it was used on.  So, I did a viral purge on my friend and gave him 120 drops to take 10 drops at a time in 8oz. of water over a period of 24 to 48 hours.  I told him not to drink anything else in that time.  Shortly after that he left the shop and moved South.  Last year he came back to work here.  The first thing he did when he saw me was give me a big hug!  He told me he hadn't had a single reoccurrence since the day I gave him the F. & F.-F.  Furthermore, while in New Orleans, he had blood tests run and he tested negative for the herpes virus.  We tried the same regimen for the lady he contracted the herpes virus from.  She has not had an outbreak since!  If I contracted an 'incurable' virus, I'd take the F. & F.-F and do a virus purge as well.  Then in a few weeks I'd get retested just to be sure it had worked.  I've had many other testimonials given to me of people with all kinds of different viruses that were helped using F. & F.-F."

"In May of 1999, I was diagnosed with a periodontal pocket in my lower jaw tooth.  I started using Pure Herbs Myrrh in my dental irrigation system, and within four months my dental hygienist noticed an improvement.  I have continued using the Myrrh once a night since that time.  In July 2001, I tried a bottle of T.G.&P.-W.  I used this instead of the Myrrh (40 drops in the irrigation system).  Upon an October 10th dental appointment, I was surprised to learn there had been more gum improvement.  This was in spite of the fact that I had been under a tremendous amount of stress the past several months.  My dental hygienist was so impressed that she requested information on this Pure Herbs product.  To date, I am continuing with the T.G.&P.-W and occasionally using the straight Myrrh instead."

"The end of last year was a very sad time for me and my family.  My father passed away.  I would like, though, to share a blessing  and that is that my father did not suffer.  He also knew who he was, who we were, where he was and he was virtually pain free.  The only prescriptions he had from the medical doctor during his last eight months were for his thyroid.  He had been on 80 grams of Lasix a day when we brought him home from the nursing home.  We used UR.-W, Pleurisy Root, and Milk Thistle internally to keep his legs and ankles from swelling and to get him functioning free of the Lasix.  We used T.L.-C, E.T.I.-W (my husband rubbed it on and around my fathers neck and ears) to keep his upper respiratory and chest free of mucus and the wheezing caused from my fathers congestive heart condition.  To heal his bed sores, we applied Arnica Oil Blend and Olive Leaf.  All of the medical and health care people who visited my father regularly commented on how healthy he looked and how good his color was!  When my father passed, he passed without violence, anguish or pain.  He just went to sleep.  What better blessing is there?"

"I have heavy bleeding during my menstrual cycle and am also menopausal.  My medical doctor put me on Ibuprofen 400 mg. one or two tablets by mouth three times a day.  While they do stop the heavy bleeding, I feared what else this medication might be doing to me.  I did not want any side effects from the Ibuprofen so I started using the  herb Shepherds Purse which stopped the bleeding.  When my menstrual cycle has gone for four days, I take the Shepherds Purse and the bleeding stops.  Before I was having a heavy period for seven to nine days.  I also take Greasewood daily and it also help me with my female problems."

"After being diagnosed with a severe case of osteoarthritis in my right hip during March of 2000, I knew I would have to be pro-active in dealing with this serious situation.  Being a believer in alternative methods, I tried Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Sam-e, and vitamin and mineral supplementation.  In March of 2001, I added CA.-W 80 drops three times per day.  After several months I dropped back to 40 drops three times per day.  Beginning in March of 2001, I had complemented my treatment plan with visits to an osteopathic physician.  These visits helped with range of motion and some pain reduction.  In April of 2001, I added 40 drops of Irish Moss three times per day, after meals.  After six to eight weeks, I noticed improvement in the pain level in my hip.  No other treatments had been used during that time.  Most of my pain reduction, I noticed, came after taking the Irish Moss.  To date, I have been able to prevent a total hip replacement."

"I had been going to a medical doctor and he had me taking eight different drugs and told me I had a bad heart.  I went to Nashville, Tennessee to St. Thomas Hospital two times to see about it, but they didn't help because they said I had a blood clot in my heart.  I came back home and went to see Reuben Schwartz and he told me it was my thyroid and that I also had something wrong with my heart.  He started me on the following herbs:  H.T. Comb., Herbal Adjustment, Sanicle, Target TSII, O.C.-M, A.C.S, and Sassafras.  I started feeling better within two weeks.   I have been back since, to see Reuben and he says I am doing fine. I feel great!  If it weren't for Reuben I don't think I would be alive today.  I believe with the proper usage of herbs they can be better in some cases than prescribed medication as the herbs are natural.  They were in my case."

"I have had herpes (on my ear lobe, of all places) for about 20 years.  For about a year now, I have had one flare-up after another with that constant itchy, tingly feeling in between.  The Zovirax that the doctor gave me didn't help, Lysine didn't help and Lemon Balm didn't help.  I heard about IVY-D and ordered some immediately!  I took three droppers full internally and I applied a couple of drops on my skin (at the ear).  The next day that feeling was gone!  I continued to take it internally and rub it on externally until the 1 oz. bottle was gone.  I haven't had herpes since.  I just can't believe how fast it worked!  I keep a bottle handy in case I feel a flare-up coming on, but so far I haven't needed it!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

"Milk Thistle - the liver's best friend!  This is the best protector and detoxifier of the liver.  The major constituent is silymarin , which encourages the liver to produce its own type of toxic avengers.  I personally use it every day as a preventative in my own personal program.  I want my liver to function as optimal as possible."

"Geneva Gile suggested that I write you about my successful use of Purple Loosestrife to remove a cataract in my right eye.  In February of 1999, my right eye was bothering me when reading.  My medical doctor said it wouldn't hurt my eye to read with the glasses I had.  When I returned home I went directly to see Geneva and she sold me a bottle of Purple Loosestrife.  After about 3 days I picked this jelly like mass from the corner of my eye.  I have been fine ever since.  I  read with my right eye and see distance with my left eye."

"I  have been taking Pure Herbs for a long time.  In 1999 my back and buttocks became so painful, I could barely get up and down.  I went to a chiropractor, but his help was only temporary.  By chance I started taking Red Clover Blend and Super Bugs to keep the flu away.  After taking them both for about a month, 40 drops 3x/day, I passed a mass of tissue through the bowels and I haven't had anymore low back pain since.  Also, I have stayed on both these supplements and I haven't had the flu.  I am so thankful that they have helped me.  Thank you for these fine products!"

"For all of you ladies who are going through 'the change,' I have found that S.M.& W-S (Stimulant for men & women -Solomon Wickey) is WONDERFUL!!!  It really helps out with the 'hot flashes' and it is very soothing.  For myself, I use four droppers three times a day.  I hope others will try this awesome product and have as much success as I have had in relieving 'hot flashes'.  As we women know, going through 'the change' is a real challenge, but with Doc and his herbs it has truly made a difference.  Thank you Doc and the girls for everything!"

"After wheezing for 15 years, it was suggested by a Pure Herbs expert that I use Astragalus for my immune system.  So I listened and I'm happy to say I've not used my inhalers (which I used to help me breath after I started wheezing) in about 8 months.  I am able to clean my house, walk in the fertilizer dept at K Mart, play with my cat and NO WHEEZING."

"I am only 53 and for several years when I got out of bed I used to walk like I was 90 years old, all crunched over taking only baby steps at first.  Now I get out of bed and I feel like I'm 20 again.  I attribute this to all of the herbs I have been taking for a couple of years now, especially the A.C.S.  I take A.C.S. (for mineral supplementation), Astragalus (to build my immune system), Yokum (for hot flashes) which works unbelievably well, M.G.-W (for energy and to nourish the glands), Herbal Adjustment (for circulation), and Vita-Lixir (for vitamin supplementation).  I have recently added to my daily regime:  N.-W (for my nerves), Milk Thistle (for my liver), B.C.-W (to cleanse my blood), Vitamin A & D (for my skin and eyes), and Vitamin E (as an antioxidant).  For anyone wondering how I take all of these herbs at a time here is what I do:  I use small containers called smidgets  (from Tupperware) you could also use their midgets (which are normally used for salad dressing or to hold cake decorations), or you could use film containers.  Basically, anything small enough to store easily and with a lid.  What I do is every Sunday I line up my smidgets and fill them with my mixture of herbs.  I make enough to take twice daily for one or two weeks.  This helps me to remember to take my herbs regularly and saves me time when in a hurry, like most everyone is.  I usually add a bit of juice to my container of herbs when I go to take them and then down the hatch they go!  Thank you Pure Herbs you have improved my health."

"My granddaughter Melissa when she was 12 was diagnosed by the hospital with mono.  She couldn't swallow and her spleen was so swollen the doctor said she would have to start school late and would not be able to play any sports that year due to the danger of her getting hit in the spleen causing a hemorrhage which could be life threatening.  I applied Peppermint Oil, IVY-D, and Herbal Adjustment to her spine and on her neck twice in the morning and twice in the evening.  She could only drink sips of water because her throat was so sore.  With the sips of water I gave her internally, 20 drops of Oregon Grape, 20 drops of A.C.S., and 20 drops of  Sage to cleanse her lymph nodes.  By the third evening following the above procedures she was felling well.  Two weeks later her doctor confirmed that Melissa's spleen was normal and that she could start school on time and play sports if she wanted."

"Michael Slider is five years old.  Last week he put the palm of his hand on his grandmother's hot stove.  Michael responded with screaming and crying, until I applied Pure Herbs Arnica to his burn.  Arnica removed the trauma and immediately Michael stopped crying.  He has not had as much as a blister or even redness on that hand.  We think Arnica is next to a miracle!  Thanks!"

A VERY SPECIAL TESTIMONIAL  (PICTURES NOT INCLUDED ON WEB SITE)

"This is my son, Christopher Ames.  Picture one was taken before his accident; he was a normal healthy six year old getting out of the swimming pool.  Picture two and three are at his 7th birthday party 6 months after his accident.  Our dog leaped into the air after a toy Chris was playing with and came down on Chris' face.  We would soon learn he had a lacerated cornea-center of his pupil.  The doctor sent us to the cornea specialist in Indianapolis where he became the most serious patient they were caring for.  They told us Chris had parasites, bacterial infection and fungus because of the dogs dirty paw.  Their concentration was on killing these infections and hopefully save the eye.  After an experimental eye drop they put together, and traveling day after day 150 miles to Indy, and a biopsy as well, they felt he was very lucky to have saved the eye.  Now the only hope they gave me of improving his vision was to come back for a cornea transplant when he was 19.  His vision was now 220/20, and he was legally blind in that eye.  He was suffering from intense pain which can be seen in pictures 2 and 3.  He almost never relaxed his face or uncovered his eye.  Sometimes he would put a coat or towel over his head to completely shut out all light.  His face was always red and twisted.  Since the doctor released us to go back to the eye doctor in Danville for follow ups, I wanted to do something before our 2 week visit.  We stopped at the Herb House in Covington, IN.  My hope and prayer was that there would be something to help with the pain.  We started Chris on a new product called R.S.T.-C for scar tissue.  I put 3 droppers full under his tongue 3 times a day.  After only 6 days, he put his hand down, opened his eye and the redness was gone.  When we saw the doctor they questioned me about what I was giving him because his eye was now 150/20 and improving.  After 3 bottles his eye sight is 69/20 and his beautiful face is back!  Picture number 4.  Thank you!  Praise the Lord!"
--Peggy Ames, mother, Danville, IL.  

"A picture tells a lot!  The testimony above reminds us of the scripture that says, 'and the blind shall see'.  We were ecstatic over Chris' recovery!  Thank you for R.S.T.-C.  R.S.T.-C stands for Repair Scar Tissue.  R.S.T.-C works on any kind of scar tissue anywhere in the body.  Operations often cause scar tissue (the doctors call it adhesions) which create problems.  It is often necessary to have another operation just to remove the scar tissue from the first surgery, and then another to remove scar tissue from the last surgery, etc., etc.  We have many wonderful testimonies about how R.S.T.-C removed the scar tissue which enabled people to avoid further surgeries.  Adhesions often cause pain.  R.S.T.-C has been very successful at relieving pain, often in only 1 week."

"I would like to share with you how you can keep your cost down for heating this winter.  Last year I was able to keep my thermostat between 60-64 degrees without freezing.  I have a sponge on a long plastic stick and I put Herbal Adjustment on this sponge.  I put the Herbal Adjustment all the way up my spine, around my neck, shoulders and across the girdle on the hips.  And, if you really get cold put it on the bottoms of your feet.  I haven't had to do that because I keep warm without it.  Some people who have done this say it burns when they take a shower the next day, but if they perservere the burning will stop.  This is how I have been able to keep my money in my pocket and out of the heating source's pocket!  Thanks again for Herbal Adjustment!"

"Let me tell you of two experiences with Oil of Cajeput.  Five years ago my husbands' aunt had gangrene in two of her toes.  She refused surgery to amputate her foot.  She was 92 then.  She came here with us from the hospital and I started soaking her feet daily and putting Oil of Cajeput on the two toes and bandaged her foot ever day for about nine months.  Here's the miracle.  The black rotting toes dried up gradually and fell of in the bandage one morning.  Our doctor checked the foot and cut the bone away and we cared for the area a few months more until the skin healed over.  She's 97 now and not a diabetic.  A month ago my husband went to our doctor for a check-up.  He had a fungus infection under his big toe.  The nail was lifted up and didn't look good.  Our doctor said the medicine for fungal infection wasn't good for his liver so I told him I would try 'my herbs' first.  I treated his foot with Oil of Cajeput every night.  I soaked the foot in true soap and a few drops of Oil of Cajeput in the water.  Then I rubbed Pure Herbs Aloe all over the cracks in his skin and put a few drops of Cajeput under the nail every night.  I did this for three weeks and his foot looks good.  It's all dried up under the nail and the cracks are looking good too."

"I would like to share with you how I helped the man I recently married who had viral pneumonia.  His medical doctor had given him up for dead (really!) because he had weak lungs anyway and said there was nothing that could be done.  One lung was entirely black and the second was about half gone.  I had never met a man with a sweeter Christian heart, I did what I could.  I used about ten different 'mixes' and single herbs; most specifically virus fighter Bee Propolis and Pleurisy Root.  I have always blessed the day I first heard of Pure Herbs (they turned my own health completely around!) but now . . . I keep my new husband on a maintenance program of herbs for liver detoxification and lung healing and he is learning the use of many herbs.  He's gotten to where he asks for specific things as he needs them.  We keep a 'medicine chest' of herbs such as Oil of Cajeput (everything from brushing teeth to healing sores), Ol' Number 11, and Red Clover Blended (questionable 'sun spots) for a variety of ills.  The contagious sinus-y thing that goes around seems to respond well to snorting S.I.-W (startling, but worth it) several times a day for several days in a row.  I also wanted to mention that my husband has had severe problems with the so-called 'reflux' disease.  Turning him into a guinea pig, I used the hypothesis that the real problem for most people is not too much acid, but insufficient digestive enzymes (as identified in past Pure Herbs research).  I got him chewable because reflux individuals have trouble swallowing at times.  The difference is amazing.  He previously swallowed tums like candy, to no avail, and would choke himself awake at night.  Now he sleeps through the night and no longer has the bloating, stomach discomfort, pain and choking.  Maybe this can help someone else?"

"In July of 1999 I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease).  The medical doctor immediately wanted to give me radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid.  In August 1999 I went to another doctor who did more tests which confirmed the diagnosis.  But I just didn't see any sense in killing an organ in my body.  In September I went to see Doctor Watkins at his office in Southfield and he put me on a regime to clean, repair, eliminate viral poisons and reduce trauma to the thyroid.  I applied Black Cohosh, Burdock, Ol' Number 11, and Arnica to my neck and over my thyroid area twice a day and took one tablespoon of Ol' Number 11 orally.  On my return to the medical doctor in December, my thyroid hormone levels were normal.  The doctor was amazed!  He had never had such a turn-around from full blown Graves Disease.  The doctor told me that whatever I did to get better, not to tell anyone, because it would put him out of business!"

"I just wanted to let you know that my mother-in-law came down with severe Rheumatoid arthritis.  She went to a medical doctor who just shook his head and gave her medication to stop the pain.  He said there was nothing more he could do.  We decided to attack it naturally.  Asking around, we found that it can come from silicon implants.  We began cleansing.  Of all the products we used (many herbs) I have to attribute much of the success to Research Formula.  This neutralized the toxins as they were being cleansed from her system.  If Research Formula wasn't used she could have become poisoned.  After only two-four weeks the improvement was remarkable.  She could sleep at night with no shoulder pain.  She even called to say (in tears) that she could get on her knees and pray again!!!  Her hands can straighten now and the knots have gone down 50%.  She's on her way.  I must again say hooray for  Pure Herbs!"

"One of our customers had a girl that was nervous because she didn't want to go to school.  They wanted to hold her back in her grade.  The girl started taking Pure Herbs B.N.C.-W and is now doing a lot better."
--A Friend

"One of our children was so absent-minded, forgetful, and had a real hard time in school and would bite his finger nails off that we were told to try the B.N.C.-W.  We had good results.  His grades in school went from almost failing to an 82 (B) average, he quit biting his finger nails and isn't so irratible when he takes his herbs regularly."

"I have been taking supplements for over 20 years for numerous ailments, even though my doctors said they really weren't necessary.  I had very low blood pressure, I was very weak , depressed and moody.  I also had stomach and gall bladder problems.  At my requests my doctor did a thyroid and blood sugar test.  He told me they showed no problems.  Then, I finally saw an Iridologist, Reuben Schwartz who recommended I try H.I.K.-W for blood sugar and craving sweeets, T.-W for my thyroid, Licorice Root for my adrenals and Big 5 and Peppermint Oil for my back pain (resulting from an auto accident).  I also took S.I.-W for my sinus problems and it was very helpful.  Since then I continue to use these herbal products and my son and husband even use some of the herbs for their problems.  We all feel much better.  I am so thankful for God sending these people and herbs to help us.  We feel obligated to give our testimonials and help as many other people as we can.  The reason is they really do work, but only if you take them!"

"I am happy to say in my experiences truly your products are the best!  Tom Slider introduced me to Pure Herbs about 4 years ago.  One day upon looking in my brother-in-laws eyes, I saw glaucoma, he however know of his condition, his mother had it as well.  I suggested B.&B.-W.  After one bottle, he returned to his eye specialist to find the glacuoma was gone and his hearing was better as well.  I'm saddened to say people with long-standing conditions don't realize what true maintenance is until they have had the condition for a year or two and it becomes a cronic condition and keeps reoccuring.  Now when my brother-in-law orders B.&B.-W he orders it two bottles at a time.  He says he will never be without the herbs again.  I say, 'thank God for the Pure Herbs family.'"

"My husband had congestion in the base of his throat for seven months.  Three doctors gave him prescriptions for a nasal drip.  Finally, the third doctor took an EKG and sent him to a heart doctor.  The congestion was a symptom of a heart problem, an enlarged weak heart.  Richard Dicks told us to try Stone Root and in two days it was cleared up.  He is still taking it and the congestion hasn't come back.  My husband is now on H.T. Combination and Lily of the Valley & Blessed Thistle and is feeling stronger.  I also have a testimony to share.  I took Stone Root and my hemorroids were gone in 2 weeks."

"For stubborn sinus problems use the following:  4oz. Distilled water with 20 drops of Olive Leaf Extract.  Shake the bottle a few times and drop up your nostrils four times a day.  Easy and it works!  Olive Leaf removes bacteria, viruses, fungus, and parasites, even in your sinuses.  Olive Leaf along with Red Clover Blended removes 'cancerous tumors'.  Also, Sanicle should be added if there are several tumors.  One man I have helped had 42 tumors - malignant and the third time they returned verified by Cat Scan.  Two bottles each of Olive Leaf and Red Clover Blended and there were only 21 tumors, verified by Cat Scan.  He has continued with the 'program' and upon last check only had 14 tumors and they are shrinking.  He then decided to cancel his planned surgery.  He looks and feels great!  On the riddance of herpes:  40 drops of Olive Leaf three times a day.  It may take two or three bottles to clear this out of the system, but it will and it does!  This includes Shingles too.  I recommend Olive Leaf first and then I go after whatever else is left, if anything at all!"

"I had a mother come to me for help with her seven year old son who was showing signs of  compulsive behavior.  He was changing his clothes up to seven times before going to school and constantly washing his hands.  I suggested she try S.M.F.-B, Gotu Kola, and Five Good.  They noticed a difference right away.  When they ran out of his herbs he started going back to his behavior again.  As soon as they put him back on the herbs he showed signs of improvement again.  Also, I have seen these herbs work on children who have trouble concentrating in school."

"After already seven years of success with herbs, regarding seasonal allergies with children, I was very excited to try Pure Herbs A.E.A.-B.  My oldest daughter had developed bronchitits in the Fall when allergies and molds were holding up in between frosts.  This cough reoccurred in January  with frigid temperatures and artificial home heat.  I knew Spring pollen would be a bother for her cough.  Naturally, after two weeks of A.E.A.-B she hasn't developed the cough and has only minor phlegm from early pollens.  The best news is that she isn't on Zyrtec daily anymore, which was prescribed after Claritin wasn't helping (both of these are prescription drugs).  Thank you Pure Herbs!"

"When our daughter was just six weeks old, our pediatrician decided to administer the vaccines recommended for children at two months, which are five different shots!  We were nervous about this and only let them give her three shots with the understanding we would come back in a week for the other two.  Needless to say, our daughter had a terrible reaction and almost choked to death!  We did not take her back for any more shots!  After researching vaccines, we have discovered that contrary to what the medical profession advocates, vaccines actually damage our children's developing immune systems, making our children their patients for life.  We immediately consulted with Bella Vladimirsky (she contacted Dr. Watkins) and both recommended we try IMS-W, rubbing a few drops on our daughter's feet three times a day to strengthen her immune system.  We also are using Alfalfa & Vita-Lixer on the soles of her feet in the same manner.  I am thrilled to tell you that our daughter is now almost eight months old and thriving!  While all the other infants we know have been sick constantly with respiratory illnesses and chronic ear infections, (which also are caused by vaccines), our daughter has not been sick with anything, with the exception of her vaccine reaction.  Most states allow for religious exemption against vaccinations, and we have claimed this in our daughter's case.  We strongly urge all parents to research vaccines.  We think they will discover that Pure Herbs, Ltd. offers better health benefits for their children than any drug in the medical world.  Our Creator has given us these natural gifts and we should use them, especially for our most precious blessings, our children.""I used to suffer with arthritis in my knees.  I began taking Ephedra as a means to control my appetite (which works excellently) .  It never occurred to me that the herb was actually healing my arthritis as well.  A few months back we had a rain spell that lasted five days.  Normally under these conditions, I am sore and miserable.  I didn't even notice that I wasn't suffering any more . . . My husband did!  He asked 'did you notice that you haven't been hurting in a while?'  No, I hadn't.  I just knew that I felt great and pain free, and I haven't had any pain, swelling or discomfort since!  I take Ephedra every day three times a day and it works!"

"For the past 10 years I have used and carried in my purse, Indian Tobacco.  It certainly came in handy when I was out to dinner with a friend.  At the end of her meal my friend ate a cookie.  A few of the crumbs started irritating her throat and she immediately went into a coughing and wheezing spasm.  She was red in the face and unable to stop the cough.  I told her to relax and placed 2 drops of Indian Tobacco on her tongue.  Slight relief followed.  I put one more drop under the tongue and suddenly after a moment passed the spasm stopped.  She then was ready for a few sips of water and blessed relief.  My friend exclaimed, 'This is a miracle, what did you use!!?'  I told her it was Indian Tobacco also know as Lobelia.  I never leave home without it. Note:  I used my best judgement and knew my friend was not in danger of choking.  It was more of an irritation from the cookie crumbs than anything.  I had experienced a similar type of cough irritation from food once.  Pure Herbs are pure and wonderful."

"Pure Herbs products have helped me gain my health back.  I used to be dependent on antibiotics due to having so many respiratory throat and ear infections.  I also have diabetes that was out of control.  After some good cleansing herbs, diet and herbs to help with my infections and prevention of my diabetes from advancing I have felt great!  Now I have more energy and I only get sick once a year instead of every two weeks or every month.  Hopefully soon I will never get sick.  My blood sugar is now normal.  Thank you Pure Herbs for all your help.  Also, thank you Ella Faye Holder who taught me all about herbal remedies and care."

"I am 37 years old and have always had female trouble.  The doctors answer was hormones, which I didn't like the side affects.   The gynecologist answer was a hysterectomy.  Thanks to Pure Herbs and an herbalist at Country Herbs in Crothersville, I now have regular cycles, with no cramping or flooding.  What a blessing after 26 years of suffering.  I take Wild Yam and P.M.S.-W regularly and Crampbark & False Unicorn when needed for cramps.  I also recommend going to someone who has a muscle response monitor or to an Iridologist. My son was 8 years old when he got out of bed to tell me it felt like something was stuck in his throat.  Our doctor put him on Pepsid A.C. because he thought he had an ulcer.  He had lost so much weight because he couldn't swallow.  He would cry every time I gave him the Pepsid A.C.  So the doctor sent him to a specialist who ran a light down his throat and removed a small cyst which was benign.  I was praying several times a day to help me find some way to help my son.  I was sent to Country Herbs and Pure Herbs.  I am so grateful, especially for Pure Herbs.  When he couldn't swallow capsules and opening them and putting them in pudding was stressing him and me out, the extracts worked wonderfully.  T.-W worked wonders on his thyroid, which was why he couldn't swallow.  Pure Herbs, Ltd. has helped my family in so many ways.  Especially when I was having anxiety attacks.  My doctor told me to go home and go to bed.  What was I supposed to do?  Stay in bed the rest of my life!  God put these herbs on earth for a reason, so why not use them instead of lining the pharmaceuticals pockets and having all the side effects."

"Early in 1992 my husband Charles had a stroke that left the left hand and arm quite weak.  The doctor did an ultra-sound and determined there was an almost closed artery in his shoulder.  The doctor put him on blood thinners which made him cold all the time.  It was recommended that I use O.C.M. and that would dissolve what was blocking the arteries and pass it out of the system without stopping any place else.  Charles took O.C.M. three times a day and we also applied some to the area where the main blockage was supposed to be.  At night I put a dressing over the area and covered it with a plastic wrap to help it penetrate.  In the weeks that Charles was going back for physical therapy the doctor did another ultra-sound and found the blood flow had increased to just about normal.  He started to say something about the blood thinner when I told him Charles hadn't taken the thinners because they made him cold and tired. I told the doctor about O.C.M. and he became very upset and told me I don't care what you're doing, but you might as well keep it up.  That was the last time we went there!  In 1999, I was talking to my son, John, in North Carolina.  John calls himself a company representative, I call him a traveling salesman. He was complaining his legs were giving him trouble, the veins were swelling, popping out, and very painful.  The doctor was going to give him pain pills to try (didn't guarantee anything) and also a blood thinner.  I reminded him about the O.C.M. his father took.  I sent him a 4oz. size.  He would not take it orally, but only applied it to the affected areas on his legs.  He rubbed it on his legs in an upward motion and put the dressing on at night.  Unfortunately, John wouldn't stay off of his feet.  After about two weeks his legs did feel better though.  In June John had a heart attack and needed a triple by-pass.  Guess where they got the veins good enough to use for his heart?  Right - the very legs he couldn't stand on a few months before.  If he had taken O.C.M. orally, I don't think he would've had the heart attack, but then he would still be smoking.  Oh well, he's fine now thanks to Dr. Watkins and O.C.M."

"I would like to share an incident that changed my life.  I had a recurring fever blister on my lips for 22 years.  For a while, it broke out every change of season and when I was stressed out.  Then, after about 10 years, the outbreaks became more frequent.  Once, I was very stressed and the whole side of my face broke out.  This was very embarrassing.  In 1994, I began to take Broad Beans from Pure Herbs for several months.  Then, I did the Oral Chelation (O.C.M.) that Dr. Watkins recommends with All Cell Salts for about three or four times a day.  He is right.  You do get very good at estimating the amount.  Anyway, I could smell the toxins coming out of my body and began to feel better, in general, and a lot more peaceful.  About 6 months later, I noticed I wasn't getting the fever blisters anymore.  To this day, I rarely ever get one and if I do they go away within a few days (stay off of chocolate and all forms of caffeine at first sign of outbreak). Jesus Christ is the ultimate healer.  Thank you, Pure Herbs, for making the herbs available and Dr. Watkins for writing the books that offer such wonderful advice."
-Friend, Carmel, IN

Correction to the testimonial from Friend Carmel In, in the April/May 2001 Newsletter.  "It was not O.C.M. that was taken and caused  reoccurring fever blisters to go away.  It was actually A.C.S. (All Cells Salts) which caused the 'oral chelation' to occur and help get rid of the reoccurring fever blisters."  Please make note of this.

  
"Here at my dog training center, I make use of Pure Herb remedies for my canine friends.  The veterinarians send me dog clients with behavioral issues.  Starting out with one of the Universal Emotional Remedies (UER) addresses the emotional aspect of the problem and works well.  I have also had great success with Bee Propolis for healing, especially the pads of the feet.  Arnica is a must for all my students to have on hand.  I recommend it before and after surgery especially.  Oil of Cajeput works great to heal sores that dogs keep after.  The odor deters licking."

"I don't know where to begin.  If I were to tell you all the wonderful benefits of your high quality herbal extracts, your fax machine would be tied up for a long time!  I just want to relate my most recent miracle.  I danced on pointe for nineteen years and did considerable damage to my toe joints.  In addition, I was disabled for four years due to status asthmaticus (essentially an asthma attack that lasted for four years)  and was taking up to 120 mg. of prednisone daily.  If my joints were not completely destroyed by the dancing, the prednisone finished them off!  I have taken Hydrangea in capsule form for some time with great benefit since it is very effective in releasing excess acids from the system.  Acids contribute to joint destruction and PAIN.  I wanted to soak my feet in hydrangea, but who can make the time to sit for 10 or 15 minutes, not doing anything else?  Well, I decide to soak my feel while I shower!  I close the drain in the tub and let the water fill while I take my usual shower.  I add liquid hydrangea extract to the water, thereby giving myself a foot soak without changing anything in my daily routine.  I expected relief of the stabbing pain in my toe joints after a few weeks.  To my surprise, I got relief immediately.  And more, I actually had relief of the burning pain in my hips as well, even without sitting in the tub!  This would not be possible without the highest potency and quality of Hydrangea that we are blessed to receive from Pure Herbs, Ltd.  Thank you from the tips of my toes! (and my heart)."

"After being diagnosed with a severe case of osteoarthritis in my right hip during March of 2000, I knew I would have to be pro-active in dealing with this serious situation.  Being a believer in alternative methods, I tried Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Sam-e, and vitamin and mineral supplementation.  In March of 2001, I added CA.-W 80 drops three times per day.  After several months I dropped back to 40 drops three times per day.  Beginning in March of 2001, I had complemented my treatment plan with visits to an osteopathic physician.  These visits helped with range of motion and some pain reduction.  In April of 2001, I added 40 drops of Irish Moss three times per day, after meals.  After six to eight weeks, I noticed improvement in the pain level in my hip.  No other treatments had been used during that time.  Most of my pain reduction, I noticed, came after taking the Irish Moss.  To date, I have been able to prevent a total hip replacement."
