MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THESE PRODUCTS BELOW. THIS INFORMATION IS EXCERPTED FROM THE COPYRIGHTED WORKS "HERBS FOR YOU BUILD BETTER HEALTH NATURALLY" & "SUPPLEMENT TO THE COPYRIGHTED HERBS FOR YOU BUILD BETTER HEALTH NATURALLY" BY: DR. A.B. HOWARD ACEROLA CHERRYAfter years of searching, we finally have a source of the fresh, ripe, yellow Acerola Cherry (Malpighia puncifolia Linnie and Malphigia glabra). Now you can enjoy the benefits of an exceptionally high source of natural Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Because these cherries are especially high in Vitamin C, their taste is somewhat tart. Before this, we could only get dried Acerola Cherry powder mixed with some form of sugar or sweetener. That was to make them taste better. NOTE: Acerola Cherries are also unusually high in natural Vitamin B-1, which provides a sense of well-being. DOSAGE: One teaspoon three times per day. ASHWAGANDHAThe long appreciated and tested herbal experience of India gives us this ginseng-like remedy for improved sexual function, abundant energy, increased ability of concentration, and lung problems. Ashwagandha is highly valued in conditions of long-standing stress from chronic disorders. DOSAGE: 40 drops or more three times per day or as needed to achieve desired results. ASTRAGALUSPowerful immune system builder. Comes to us from Chinese herbal medicine with the recommendation of nearly 2,000 years of recorded satisfactory use as a powerful immune system builder. We know from use and clinical investigation in the Western world that the root of this legume (a type of plant which enriches the soil and produces proteins by having nodules or "bumps" on its roots that collect nitrogen from the air) does indeed activate the liver to produce a substance called interferon. Interferon holds tightly to the surface of body cells and causes them to produce the body's own antibodies (proteins) which kill viruses and viral infections. This can be especially helpful where drug medicine has no answer. Also, please understand that many times a vaccination or immunization can leave lingering viruses to masquerade as a whole host of symptoms and baffling "diseases" which are seldom connected with being the true cause. As just a single instance, who would ever think of warts under the eyes or elsewhere as being a side effect of an immunization, but they can be. Astragalus, with its ability to see to it that viruses are killed, can be very helpful as an answer to the common cold, provided a person has a decent diet and two to three bowel movements per day. Because viruses are killed, pus is expelled from wounds and they are healed. Astragalus also works to improve appetite where needed, and either cause the skin to sweat and expel poisons or, if perspiration is unwarranted, reduce it. Astragalus strengthens the ability to digest, repairs chronic lung problems, reduces fluid swellings, provides energy by being an adrenal gland(s) nutrient and increases circulation. Astragalus and another Chinese herb, Dong Quai (Chinese Angelica), are often combined for this purpose. Thanks for this friend of the immune system and energy builder must be given to the Creator and the Chinese for its discovery. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops three times per day. If Dong Quai is also taken to form a team then take both in the same amount. BEE POLLENPlant sperm from male portion of flowers, collected by choosy female experts known as bees. Promotes longevity, quick energy, stabilizes and corrects low blood sugar, contains all the elements for new life such as genetic materials named R.N.A. and D.N.A., rejuvenating, excellent antibiotic, and can be used for internal and external dressings of wounds. If painful sore throat, soak cheese cloth or absorbent gauze with Bee Pollen Extract and wrap around throat, cover with plastic wrap and a final layer of cloth on top of this to hold all in place. Change morning and night. Repeat until well. To restore the stamina of youth even under severe stress, one to three tablespoons per day. Start with one tablespoon per day. Persist even if it takes months. There is a "nasty rumor" going around, which says a man with a vacuum cleaner can collect pollen from flowers cleaner and riper than choosy female bees. The rumor also states that Bee Pollen is hard to digest. In an extract form, however, the contents of the pollen grains have been removed and are free of the cellulose (wooden) pollen husks. This makes the Bee Pollen Extract very digestible. The proof of this is that Bee Pollen extract works and it works beautifully. I sincerely hope that you will squelch this "nasty rumor" about Bee Pollen extract and bees when you hear it. Leave it to the bees, the real specialists! Bee Pollen extract from ripe selected pollen is so good that it is used to counteract allergies, even those caused by wild, unripe, air-born pollen. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops once a day for energy or as desired. 40 to 80 drops per meal as a correction and prevention for allergies. For rejuvenation, longevity, rebuilding stamina and for all other internal uses one teaspoon to one tablespoon three times per day. Honeybees have been around a long time. They were created before us, if you believe in the Bible, and have had more time to work things out. Bees have a very well ordered social system and do not waste much time or resources on things like war, crime or insanity. There is no need for jails or prisons full of criminal bees kept in cells. Honeybees are a highly disciplined team dedicated to helping each other survive. And they make valuable products like honey, wax and something called propolis. Propolis is a Greek term meaning before the city or pro - polis. It was observed 25 hundred years ago that honeybees have tunnels and walkways they go through to get inside their dwellings. These tunnels and walkways are made of a resin, something like hardened tree sap, and we call this material propolis. As a matter of fact, the bees do collect the sap of selected trees and buds and leaves and mix this with wax. Bees sweat wax, not sweat like we do. This wax is mixed with their saliva and the sap. At this point it becomes propolis. Ok, why all this effort to make propolis? They don't eat it. Entrance and exit tunnels and walkways are built out of propolis. Bees can't very well take off their shoes when entering their houses. So, they put up a sticky, antibiotic propolis mat and tunnel which traps germs, viruses, fungus, dirt, etc. They don't track diseases into their home. We don't do that and we get sick. Honeybees also put propolis plugs into any undesired openings, which are found in their home. They also put a light coating of propolis on the wax honey cells to protect them. If a large insect, or heaven forbid, a mouse should come looking for some honey, or an errant snake should invade their home, it is stung to death. If it is too heavy to drag back out, they completely coat and encase it in propolis. Once that is done, the creature, does not putrefy and destroy the honey and hive. People have theorized that if we could eat bee propolis then we could kill the germs and things, which try to kill us. And people have tried it. It seems to work pretty well. Some people sip drops of liquified bee propolis throughout the day when they have a sore throat or fever or other infectious malady. Others take bee propolis capsules or liquid to help prevent infections. Now remember, we are a lot larger than honeybees and come in contact with more things. Add to this that frankly, we eat a lot of harmful things and, too much of them, not enough of the good things. Some people do not have a meal as much as they have a series of metabolic insults starting with a cup of coffee and a doughnut and ending with a cigarette. And we get sick. So don't expect bee propolis to be able to do everything to keep you well. Help it along. On an interesting modern note, scientists tell us there are things, which harm our bodies called free radicals. They cause the body to break down and eventually bring about old age. You might think of these free radicals as unstable oxygen structures and their kin. Where do they come from? Ultra-violet light shining on air causes free radical structures of oxygen. Let us not forget our modern society also provides sources such as chemical manufacturing plants, power plants, radiation, and excessive food processing, smoking and being sick. Would it surprise you to hear that bee propolis is crammed full of things to counteract free radicals? It is, they are called antioxidants. Now you understand why some people take bee propolis each day. They typically use a capsule or twenty drops at each meal. Oh yes, in parting there is something else you may wish to know. Bee propolis contains many wondrous and wonderful individual components. As an example, bee propolis liquid is being applied (the width of the person's hand) to the length of the spine daily to help repair spinal cord injuries. Many modern day drugstore companies have isolated and concentrated many individual parts from bee propolis and market each of them as the "most active ingredient" in propolis. Don't you think if it were so, the bees would have made it that way to begin with? The fact is, bee propolis varies wildly in its make up from one part of the world to the next, but all of the parts together do the job as intended. You need all of the parts of propolis to make it work right regardless of their differing proportions and concentrations. That means that Bee Propolis is something more important with all of its parts put together than any of its parts taken separately. This “bee glue” is a powerful antibiotic and anti-putrefaction agent (coats and prevents dead and rotting cells from spreading in the body so they can safely be removed). Can be used hourly as an antibiotic in severe cases to regain a foothold on life. DOSAGE: 20 to 40 drops three times per day or if no improvement, 40 drops per hour until better. BLACK COHOSHAs a poison antidote, Black Cohosh has several useful functions. Its regular use, and use in crisis, can prevent allergic reactions and correct allergic reactions of stings and bites from poisonous creatures of all kinds (bees, mosquitoes, spiders, snakes, etc.). Also, as a poison antidote to prevent colds and childhood illnesses or clear them up. Black Cohosh absorbs and neutralizes the poisons of disease so the body can heal itself. This is of special importance with internal poisons from cysts, fistulas, boils, carbuncles and acne. Menopause and its tortures and many widespread female problems are handled routinely by Black Cohosh. The action of Black Cohosh on the circulatory system is to slow the heartbeat and strengthen its output as well as increase the pulse strength. At the same time, it acts as an arterial and nerve sedative which is most important to reduce hypertension (nerve-induced high blood pressure) and far safer than Digitalis. In folk medicine, it has long been used as a fomentation, (cloth soaked in the extract used externally) for headaches, sedative for upset nerves, migraine, epilepsy, insomnia, meningitis (inflammation and painful infection of membranes around brain and spinal cord), painful menstruation and to ease labor. DOSAGE: 10 to 60 drops three times per day. Apply the extract liberally to poisonous stings and bites externally. If meningitis 10 to 60 drops hourly as needed and apply same to entire spine, neck and temples. NOTE: Some individuals are very sensitive and may develop a headache if too much is taken, so start with 10 drops and gradually increase. BONESETIs a gift of Native American Indian medicine, much appreciated by those who pioneered and settled the West, to correct colds, flu and what we know now were virus conditions. Boneset is especially helpful in viral flu and fevers with aching bones and muscles and bowel pain. One teaspoon of Boneset extract to one cup of hot water (preferably distilled or spring water, not tap water) taken hourly until relief. Then, 3 to 4 times daily until all symptoms are gone. Boneset encourages sweating to reduce fever and discomfort by expelling poisons and cooling. Modern investigative evidence does indeed reveal that Boneset causes the body to produce a substance in the liver called interferon, which, in turn, causes proteins to be made by the body cells that cause the destruction of viruses. DOSAGE: To avoid viral conditions such as described above, take a maintenance dosage of 40 to 80 drops per day. For others, use as given above. The bark of this wonderful tree provides us with one of the most wonderful bowel cleaners found in nature. Its name, in Spanish, means bark-sacred or sacred bark. This is as natural a solution to bowel problems as you can find. This is what animals in nature nibble on to stay regular. Cascara Sagrada gives the bowel the strength to move. A few drops of the tea on the exposed intestines of a recently sacrificed laboratory white rat will cause the intestines to move. You can imagine what it can do for a live person. Responsible people enjoy the benefit of this herb to obtain one easy and complete bowel movement per meal just as was intended by nature. Bowel wastes removed more frequently in this way, prevent all manner of mischief, including prostate problems, uterus problems, bladder and urinary tract disorders, hysterectomy, ear, throat, lung, liver, eye, sinus and cold infections, etc. Bowel wastes, when not frequently eliminated, are reabsorbed from the colon into the rest of the body and seek to be eliminated through emergency exits such as skin, lungs, ears, throat, sinuses, etc. You could tear out and throw away fully one third of all the so-called "diseases" of medical books with the practice of good bowel management. Even, if you did make Cascara Sagrada a habit, so what. It would be a good habit. Then energy surges back into the body as a side effect of good bowel management. The body no longer has to try to deal with backed-up bowel poisons and a new and better day does dawn. DOSAGE: Evening or before breakfast, 40 to 80 drops or more in juice (Cascara Sagrada is bitter) as needed to promote one bowel movement per meal. If chronic constipation increase to a tablespoon each evening, if needed, to blast things loose. If capsules are preferred, one to four capsules instead. A good idea is to start with one capsule and work your way upward as needed and desired. C.C.E. – WThis most valuable cleansing corrective has roots in centuries of European herbal experience and studies in Northern Europe. The originators of this all-embracing liquid, Urban Hjarne, and Dr. Samst, reported nothing short of miraculous results. When used internally, regularly and daily, it has lead to a very extended and active life span. Cleans blood, bowel, nerves and repairs them. It is a life extender. C.C.E.-W is an antibiotic, a poison antidote, and an outright corrective for numerous common and many baffling types of conditions. Its antibiotic activity is excellent. Poison antidote for bee stings and insects. Take internally and apply externally, as needed. It may be used externally as follows: apply Vitamin E oil to the area from 100 to 400 i.u capsules. Then take cotton or gauze soaked in the liquid extract and place over the affected area. Cover with plastic and hold in place with a wrap overnight. Cleansing Corrective Extract-W has been used on a wide variety of serious or hopeless problems with very favorable results. It is taken internally for many diverse problems. The following is a partial list: sinus, deformation of hands and legs, stiffness of joints, wounds, scars, diarrhea, arthritic complaints, sprains, loss of hearing, gallbladder attacks, blood clots, hemorrhoids, cancer problems, head and brain disorders, digestive problems of all kinds, birthmark, moles, liver spots, memory, loss of appetite, anemia and high or low blood pressure. For severe itching conditions, such as chicken pox, paint C.C. E.-W on the areas with a Q-Tip or cotton bud to relieve the torment. Also, take for allergic reactions. For emergencies, or in a crisis condition, ½ ounce (one standard measure tablespoonful) can be taken at once. If flu is threatening, take one tablespoon to prevent it or if it is in full progress, take one tablespoonful every four hours, while awake, until the symptoms go away and stay away and get through the flu in record time. It would be unusual to have to take C.C. E.-W more than three times in one day. Many times, in the early stages of flu, one tablespoon will just wipe it out. If needed to counteract a persistent threat, take one tablespoon, or more, until the flu no longer threatens. If a baby or small child objects to the taste, or if the person is bedridden and cannot take by mouth, then rub in sufficient quantity to cover the entire abdomen instead of taking internally. Please Note: you will clean out large quantities of solid and liquid wastes, rapidly, which are the cause of the flu. Every time you flush these wastes away you can see what was tormenting the body and causing the flu. C.C.E.-W is also an excellent daily regimen to keep the body clean and avoid many kinds of problems. C.C.E.-W is normally taken daily, such as each night, as part of a bowel maintenance program. Take (mercifully in juice) each evening in sufficient quantity to produce at least two, and preferably three, bowel movements per day. This may not be a "civilized" idea, but is a good health idea and "good habit.” In so-called primitive societies, where there are an abundance of natural foods and fiber, there are on an average of three bowel movements per 24 hrs. In these societies, they simply do not have many of the "dis-eases" we suffer from in modern "civilized society": the hemorrhoids, skin conditions, hypertension, allergies, etc. They don't even have names for them. The concept here is, when you put something into the body, then you should evacuate something so the wastes do not back up and cause a breeding ground for putrefaction and "dis-eases.” By observation of healthy functioning systems, such as with a new born baby (unpolluted by junk food), if you feed the baby, then be prepared to diaper at the same time, or if you feed the dog (unless you feed him the same kind of food you are eating) then you must be prepared to walk the dog. If there are three meals per day then we want three bowel movements per day. Then, most of the hysterectomies, prostate operations, yeast miseries, bowel cancers, eczema, psoriasis, parasite problems and fully 1/3 of all the "dis-eases" listed in medical books can be avoided. Remember here, the time-honored wisdom: "Miseries missed are blessings received too.” REGULAR DOSAGE: 10 to 80 drops each evening. For more involved conditions, up to one tablespoon, as necessary, to obtain desired activity, for as long as necessary. If you need it, you need it. For a complete bowel maintenance program, take four to six capsules of Psyllium and four to six capsules of Alfalfa. Psyllium acts as a lubricating, internal exercising bulk and the Alfalfa as a deodorizing "scrub brush.” Be sure to take a large glass of water with the Psyllium so it can do its job and so it does not gum up. For all other uses: use as given above. SERIOUS DOSAGE: Externally as given above. Internally take one teaspoon three times a day the first week. Two teaspoons, three times a day the second week. One tablespoon, three times per day until condition is corrected. For serious conditions at the start, increase to one tablespoon three times per day. In emergency situations, two tablespoons at once on the tongue or in fluid. For daily maintenance of a healthy system, one to three teaspoonfuls. If flu symptoms occur, then two teaspoons to one tablespoonful every three to four hours while awake until symptom free. EUCALYPTUS OILEucalyptus Oil is a gift from the leaves of trees from Australia and New Zealand. Eucalyptus leaves are the favorite food of koala bears. Eucalyptus Oil is a powerful antiseptic of specific value for boils, carbuncles, and skin ulcers. Eucalyptus has proved to be useful for wounds, cuts and scrapes. Infections may be avoided if Eucalyptus is applied externally instead of Iodine. The greatest benefit of Eucalyptus is its use in decongestion of respiratory channels: colds, flu, sore throat, irritation and dryness at the back of the mouth and behind the nose. Breathing its vapor is aromatherapy and will clean the nose and chest. It may be applied externally across the sinuses to relieve congestion and headache. Apply to the chest and back for bronchitis, asthma, fevers, and related disorders. Taken internally, (a few drops to a cup of water) it relieves the following conditions: croup, asthma, hemorrhoids, inflammation of reproductive and urinary organs, and fever disorders.

IM.S.-W(IMMUNE SYSTEM BUILDER) - Father Sebastian Kneip, renowned natural practitioner of the 19th century, said, "when you pass among the sick, chew Juniper Berries.” A natural, immunity is provided by this wonderful and good tasting herb. The proof is that he and his staff were able to treat the sick and remain immune to their afflictions. Of course, Juniper Berries were also given to the sick so that they might recover, and recover they did, in legions. Marshmallow, Carpenter's Square, and Mullein, have long been noted as the remedies for swollen glands of the neck, underarms, breast and reproductive areas. They provide a rapid and effective immunity for these areas. Sweet Root (Calamus Root) is the most prized remedy of the North American Indian Nation, the Chippewa, and was given to those who were called "hopeless.” And they got well, even when it was a viral problem! Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla are not only poison antidotes for snake bite and venereal “dis-ease,” they also neutralize all manner of poisons. Bacteria, viruses and fungus, including infectious yeasts, not only give off poisons that make you feel terrible, they also weaken you even more by attacking the immune system itself. Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla handle this attack as well. Lapacho corrects inflammation of the reproductive organs and glands. The nutrition of some people, is not just bad, it is appalling. A body, which lacks tissue integrity, is the perfect breeding ground for infections, which roll over a feeble immune system that just cannot cope with the invasion. Reverse all this, eat decent food instead of "junk foods,” and build your immune system so you can live well and without as much fear. Help your immune system and it will help you. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops, three times per day, to build active immunity. 20 to 40 drops per day as maintenance. I.V.-H(INFECTION AND VIRUSES –herbalist Hilty) - It is always a great pleasure when we see the problem of viruses and the complications of infections meet their match in the herbal world. This formula is a new approach with known, tried and tested herbs to meet the challenge of flu, coughs, colds, headaches, sore throats, stomach aches, vomiting and other miseries. It was developed through great need, experience and observation of results with real people. Its final formulation relies on combining the strength of Myrrh, Olive Leaf, Wild Rose Hips, and Yarrow for its potent herbal punch to repair the immune system and recover your health. Results of this combination, I.V.-H is impressive and extensive. Look for improvement from the miseries of these categories especially: Infections, which accompany the respiratory problems including Virus problems Fungus problems Parasite problems Sore throat Fever And numerous upsets, which accompany the flu, coughs and colds. COMBINATION: Myrrh, Olive Leaf, Wild Rose Hips, Yarrow. DOSAGE: One teaspoon two to three times per day with food. JUNIPER BERRIESTake if working among the sick. Builds immunity. Dissolves uric acid crystals, which can cause kidney stones, gout and rheumatic (joint) discomfort. Test for uric acid crystals by squeezing back of upper arm, if painful, uric acid crystals are abundant. Good digestaid. Prevent and expel gas. Juniper Berries, is a powerful antibiotic for the entire urinary system, including the kidneys, the ureters, (tubes leading from the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder itself, and the urethra (tube leading from the bladder to the exit). For a kidney flush, take 40 drops and a large glass of water (in this way, Juniper Berries can work without causing irritation) three times per day. Diuretic for correcting fluid retention. Raise low blood sugar and stabilize at normal level. Apply externally to kill fungus. DOSAGE: For most purposes, 10 to 40 drops following meals. If urinary tract infection or joint discomfort, 80 drops to one teaspoonful three times per day with a large glass of water until well. Also make sure the bowels do their duty at the rate of two to three times per day. NOTE: Protein must be taken with each meal in order for Juniper Berries to work to stabilize blood sugar. LICORICE ROOTLicorice Root is sweet, somewhere between 4 to 50 times sweeter than cane sugar without the calories and does not increase thirst. Licorice Root can be so sweet, it has a bitter taste unless diluted. It is a specific for low blood sugar symptoms. If a person is not feeling up to par and has a habit of eating white flour products or sugar products, it is safe to assume they would benefit by Licorice Root. Powdered Licorice held on the tongue and allowed to dissolve coats the throat to relieve sore throat. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used Licorice to combat the ravages of stress. When battle troops in the quest to conquer the world experienced stress this was their mainstay. People today also experience stress. Licorice Root is a remedy for stress, be it from interpersonal relationships, allergies, or lack of energy. Licorice Root feeds the energy and hormone manufacturing glands known as the adrenals. As such, they are able to bring the entire system into better balance and promote well-being. When the need occurs for hormones, for either the male or female system, Licorice provides the building blocks for the adrenals to make these hormones. This is especially efficacious for women who have had a hysterectomy, to prevent the discomforts of hormone imbalance. DOSAGE: 10 to 40 drops three to four times per day under the tongue or on food as a sweetener. OIL OF CAJEPUTComes to us from the tropics of India and the Molucca Islands of Indonesia. This small tree, or tall bush with drooping limbs, is much like a weeping willow, with multiple layers of paper-like thin bark. Cajeput oil is related, in function, to something called "Tea Tree Oil,” but the action, and not unpleasing taste of Cajeput, is preferred by a great many herbalists. In spite of its tropical home in a humid, hot environment, the Cajeput tree does not fall prey to fungus or infections because of the antibiotic oil which circulates in its sap (circulatory fluid). It maintains very good health, thank you. This oil can be taken by people for the same purpose. If candida yeast infections are a problem, then mix three to four drops with a little food and eat at each meal. Naturally, to prevent reinfection, "drug antibiotics" must be eliminated from the diet, as well as meats, where the animals have been fed on antibiotics as part of their diet. Another thing to consider, is possible reinfection where the yeast problem would be traded back and forth. In this respect, sexual partners must exercise care to prevent reinfection. A bowel program is also a must to eliminate the bowel residues which play host to, and furnish a convenient home base for the yeast to retreat to or attack from. If a cold or the flu, sprinkle a few drops of Oil of Cajeput on a handkerchief or tissue and breathe deeply, as needed, to keep nostrils open. To open stopped up sinuses immediately, put one drop of Oil of Cajeput in one half cup of water (distilled is best) and irrigate the nose, lean the head back and sniff several drops through the nose into the throat. An eyedropper is a good aid to this procedure. In cases of flu, fever, tight chest and or laryngitis, place one to two drops directly on the tongue and apply several drops to the throat and chest area. Cover up and sweat the mucus loose as the oil penetrates and breaks up the infected mucus. You may cough up mucus as tough as tire treads, but you will be well in a very short time. Oil of Cajeput is a pain reliever if sinus blockages or headaches occur. Apply the oil to the painful area and the pain leaves. The same can be done for toothaches or tooth abscesses, to clean them. Place one drop of the oil on a cotton ball and lay between the gums and cheek and leave there until relief. For external sores and abscesses that just won't heal, mix one part Oil of Cajeput with three parts olive oil, place on gauze and lay over the area. The area will slough off dis-eased tissue and build healthy, pink, repaired tissue in short order. For relief of swollen breast(s) due to congestion, apply full strength to breast(s) externally as needed. For boils and carbuncles (multiple boils involving an area), generously rub the Oil of Cajeput directly on the area. The oil will penetrate at once and relieve the pain, and mix with the purulent (pus) material and push it out or dissolve it. Oil of Cajeput is very handy to have around the house for ordinary cuts and scrapes, as well as, serious cuts and gashes. In these cases apply, as needed, full strength to heal without a scar and prevent infection. You need not "medically wash" the area and cause more pain. Just apply, or let drip on, the Oil of Cajeput. Swellings around the toenails or fingernails are repaired by a few drops directly applied. Ringworm and external fungus infection, such as athletes foot, are also quickly dispatched by Cajeput. If "dryness" occurs in the area where Oil of Cajeput is used, also apply oil from 100 or 400 units Vitamin E capsules. If head lice, mix one part Oil of Cajeput with three parts of olive oil and apply to the scalp. Leave on overnight and shampoo next morning. Repeat each evening until free of lice. Then, ten days after free of lice, repeat process to kill any remaining lice or hatched eggs. In cases of "colitis problems" with hemorrhages, apply 80 drops of Cajeput Oil, three times per day to the abdominal area. When "erosion of the cervix" occurs, douche daily with five drops of Cajeput in one cup of distilled water. The same mixture can be used as a vaginal douche for gonorrhea. Impetigo (a highly infectious rash of yellow, pus-filled skin blisters) can be fully corrected in a short time by direct applications. Oil of Cajeput is truly a potent weapon among our herbal resources for building better health naturally. DOSAGE: Apply to chest to expel mucus. And as given above. For mosquito and insect bites, apply directly to the area. To repel mosquito’s, apply EXTERNALLY TO EXPOSED AREA. Do not get in the eyes. If this happens accidentally, flush with water. (See: Cascara Sagrada or C.C.E.-W for a bowel program). OLIVE LEAFThe Olive Leaf in liquid extract form is renowned for defeating harmful microorganisms. As an antibiotic, it proceeds with equal ability against virus and bacteria and many types of fungal parasite problems. The Olive Leaf possesses the ability to disrupt the virus when it tries to reproduce and stops it in its tracks. Users also report other categories of improvement, including increased energy with repair of heart and circulatory problems, and normalized blood pressure. Freedom from recurrence of colds and flu with fatigue and muscles soreness, demonstrate Olive Leaf's role in strengthening the immune system's scavenging ability. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops three times per day. 40 drops per day as a maintenance. 40 drops hourly, if continued antibiotic relief is needed. PEPPERMINT LEAFQuite aside from being one of the most popular flavoring agents, the therapeutic value of Peppermint has its roots in herbal use from the beginning of man's first association with it. It has been sought out through the eons of time as a pleasant refreshment. Its leaves are chewed, teas are made from its leaves as well as the oil. The use of these brings an exhilarating aromatic sensation as well as fresh oxygen for well-being. Mothers have long known a cup of the tea will relieve baby's colic. A touch of peppermint oil to the tongue of a baby or adult pushes distressful gas from the body and settles the stomach (especially good to calm morning sickness). The oil's modern, innovative use is part of the Herbal Adjustment explained under its own heading in this book. A partial list of Peppermint's additional corrective services is diarrhea, dizziness, convulsion, earache, fainting, fevers of all types, stomach and bowel gas, nausea, nervous headache, restlessness, motion sickness, spasms, toothache, vomiting and heart palpitations. DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops three times per day of the extract or as needed. PEPPERMINT OILIs very aromatic, and highly concentrated. A single drop brushed on the back of the tongue releases a cooling burst of oxygenation. When rubbed on the neck and temples, headaches are eased. (Even better used with Herbal Adjustment as discussed elsewhere in this work). Cuts mucus in the throat loose, drains sinuses. DOSAGE: Peppermint Oil is very concentrated. A single drop brushed on the back of the tongue is all that is needed. Two or three drops added to water to make a beverage or tea. (Do not put in eyes). PLEURISY ROOT(Orange flowered Butterfly Plant) Venereal disease, reduce high blood pressure, give in cases of weak heartbeat, correct hardening of the arteries, restore circulation, reduce cardiac edema (fluid retention due to heart malfunction); 80 to 90 drops after meals. Removes warts (not moles). Apply three to four times per day. Poison antidote - give 40 to 80 drops and repeat, as needed, if symptoms do not subside. Revered, as its name directly indicates, for chest infections, painful breathing, excess mucus and fluid accumulation in the lungs. Not a stimulant. Also, "the child's remedy" for chest and abdominal complaints, burning fevers, diarrhea; apply to temples, forehead, spine, chest and abdomen. Repeat as needed. Pleurisy Root is gentle acting and thorough. Promotes perspiration of poisons. Wrap up warm to assist this action. DOSAGE: For children and little ones, one to 10 drops every one to two hours, while awake, on the tongue and or applied in sufficient quantity to cover chest and back. Keep wrapped and warm and then sweat it out. If the child is restless, then also give one to 20 drops of Scullcap on the tongue according to age and need, every one to two hours. Adults: For circulatory problems, 40 to 80 drops after meals and, additionally, when short of breath. If congestion, 40 drops on or under the tongue every hour and rub in quantity necessary, to chest and back every hour, while awake. Wrap up warm and sweat it out. If restless, 20 to 40 drops also of Scullcap every hour, while awake. For regular daily use, 10 to 40 drops after meals. SARSAPARILLADuring the 1800's, Sarsaparilla, as a drink, was as well known as the coca cola drink of today. The reasons it was enjoyed were many. First of all, it is an excellent source of energy to recover from exhaustion, secondly, it helps a person conquer stress; thirdly, it is a frisky hormone source for both men and women; lastly, it handles and prevents venereal disease, especially when mixed with half Golden Seal. Sarsaparilla can also be effectively employed for relief of menopause, skin eruptions, lymphatic problems and the "heartbreak of psoriasis.” DOSAGE: 40 to 80 drops following meals or as an in-between meal pick-me-up. Apply externally daily, as needed, to skin problems and swellings. As a hormonal source for women or men, 80 drops three times per day. For millennia Ginseng has been relied upon for energy and combating stress. Many different plants are sold under the name of "Ginseng" or "Siberian Ginseng.” One of the finest and not the most expensive comes from India. Perhaps if it were more widely known and cost more, more would be heard about it. At any rate, this marvelous Ginseng, from India does not have to remain a secret. Try it and form your own opinion. Speaking of stress, you may have noticed the stresses of modern life are incredible at times. Until such time as people cease to be wolves to each other and we can appreciate a more convenient but rapid pace of life, we can use some support. Siberian Ginseng helps to compensate for constant change. A stronger nervous system and well-nourished adrenal glands (a gland on top of each kidney, which can make about two dozen different anti-stress hormones) do much to meet the challenge of life. If the adrenal glands are not working well and the door to the garage sticks we may sit down next to the house and cry about it. If however the adrenal glands are well-supplied with the building blocks for anti-stress hormones, we may just decide to tear the garage door off its hinges and then do it. After all, why let a garage door bully you. In the case of an illness where it seems too much effort to even walk across the room, rather than give up, try Siberian Ginseng. If you must lose sleep and/or extra demands are placed on your shoulders, try Siberian Ginseng. Then see if you don't feel like going bear hunting with a handle whip and a chair. Crossing time zones by aircraft can upset the body rhythms especially when the night was much too short in the air and when you land the people there are already having lunch. Then it is Siberian Ginseng time. When suffering from the stress of a cold, hay fever, asthma, blood pressure problems, monthly upsets, poor diet, long hours, desert heat or winter conditions, convalescence, operations, injuries, teenagers, tax collectors, competition or you name it, try Siberian Ginseng and get back to the top of things. Athletes seeking peak performance and body builders can safely rely on Siberian Ginseng to provide a competitive advantage in training, performance and development. DOSAGE: Maintenance and stress maintenance, 20 to 40 drops daily as needed. If in competition 20 to 40 drops three times per day. If serious illness, one teaspoonful three to four times per day. STILLINGIADr. Thomas Young Simons in a published paper for the American Medical Recorder described Stillingia as," a valuable, alternative remedy in syphilis afflictions, and others ordinarily requiring the use of mercury." It is comforting to note that the orthodox medical profession has indeed found an alternative to mercury, a deadly poison. Stillingia combines well with Prickly Ash and Sarsaparilla. Wherever engorged lymphatics are sluggish in flow, Stillingia can be called upon to digest out the morbid matter, which suppresses its flow. Exercises highly desirable conditions on the digestive glands and digestive organs so that they secrete (cause to flow) their normal fluids. This is a highly desirable condition, as it also works on other glands of the body and the lymphatics. It is a remedy for primary and secondary syphilis conditions, especially when they affect the skeletal and facial bones. Croup remedy (respiratory infection with alarming labored rasping sounds when breathing), rub on chest and back and wrap up warm. (For this use, Stillingia is often combined with Oil of Cajeput. See: Oil of Cajeput). Stillingia is held by some herbalists to be the remedy for cystic fibrosis (pancreas malfunction in digestion that usually leads to death by the age of twenty unless a proper program of care can be established and maintained). Of special interest is the work done with cystic fibrosis by LaDean Griffin (American herbal practitioner of distinction), where she notes the restoration of the pancreatic digestive function is achieved by the use of Stillingia. Noted from this work is that a key for body function is the ability to digest not only food, but to digest out as well, choking waste from the body. All natural practitioners will be well advised to see to it that their consultees can digest. For this purpose Juniper Berries, Ginger, Gentian, and Stillingia are good reliable choices. DOSAGE: 20 to 40 drops after meals. For crisis condition of croup, 20 to 40 drops hourly. NOTE: See: special instructions at the beginning of this work for DOSAGES to children and babies. SUTHERLANDIAThe desert herb Sutherlandia has the scientific name of Sutherlandia frutescens. Sutherlandia seems to be an herb which mainly improves the workings of the immune system (bone marrow, thymus gland, liver, lymph nodes, spleen and other parts of the body). It assists the body to root out and clean out viruses wherever they may be in the body, no matter how long they have been at their destructive work. What is surprising is just how many problems may be caused or aggravated by viruses and their poisons. WHAT IT WORKS ON: Once body cells are weakened by something such as poor diet, poor bowel functions, harmful medications, emotional upsets, overwork, or other types of "stress" (stress = anything that threatens your survival), "dis-ease" organisms can move in to work their mischief. One of those "dis-ease" causing organisms is known as a virus. It is smaller than a germ, fungus or parasite. It takes over the machinery of a living body cell, perverts it and makes poisons. The virus makes that body cell sick, then multiplies itself inside the infected cell and then those offspring go off to invade other cells and so on. Unless something is done, this goes on and on until disaster results. The herb from the desert areas of South Africa known as Sutherlandia reverses this destructive process. The mischief caused by viruses and their poisons can be unraveled and corrected. Sutherlandia also works on the tumor causing viruses called retroviruses. WHAT TO EXPECT: Should you choose to use Sutherlandia there may be a few "bumps in the road" to recovery, so to speak. It takes you back through the many past problems the body has had and you repair them as you go. But, wouldn’t it be worth it to develop an immune system that viruses just bounce off of? It would be great to get back to original condition again wouldn’t it? It is a pretty tall order to build a strong immune system these days. This is especially true if you have lived for a while and your body has gone through some damaging battles and collected some "junk.” If the body has "walled off" areas of struggle in the past, these may be cleaned out in the process of restoring the immune system. Sutherlandia acts as an adaptive to help one cope with anxiety and depression. When you see the number of conditions that have been corrected by Sutherlandia, you wonder if viruses were mixed into the cause of most all of these ills. FOLK MEDICINE USE FOR SUTHERLANDIA COLLECTED SINCE VERY EARLY TIMES UP TO THE PRESENT. TAKE A LOOK. Indigestion, poor appetite, ulcers of stomach and esophagus, painful gas blockages, liver conditions, diarrhea, diabetes, cancer of the pancreas and other cancers. Colds, flu, asthma, chronic bronchitis and tuberculosis. Varicose veins, hemorrhoids and heart failure. Swellings, backache, muscle ache, kidney and urinary tract infection and joint discomfort. Anxiety and depression. Chicken pox, the deadly world-wide flu epidemic of 1918 and conditions where the body’s immune system is fighting good cells too instead of only enemy cells as in the case of: AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER TAKING A FEW OTHER HERBS AS WELL: During the time Sutherlandia is working, it helps to have a poison antidote working along with it. For this reason we have suggested some VIRGINIA SNAKE ROOT or BLACK COHOSH. You will also want to make sure you are having regular bowel movements to eliminate the poisons that are being cleaned out by Sutherlandia. For this reason we suggest some CASCARA SAGRADA or C.C.E.-W. Please understand it is also vital to have a diet rich in high quality protein so Sutherlandia can do its job properly. The white blood cells made in the bone marrow and those in the lymph nodes, as well as the interferon made by the liver to fight viruses all require protein to make them. For this reason we have included BEE POLLEN in the combination. DOSAGE: SUTHERLANDIA is not candy. You can only go so fast when you set out to unravel all of the ills of the past caused by viruses and repair them as you go along. Experience has shown 3 to 10 drops with meals can be a pretty good pace unless advised otherwise by your health care practitioner. EXTERNAL USE: Apply to troubled area(s), enough to cover the area each day, until the problem is resolved. THREE BEESCOMBINATION: Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis, Royal Jelly. DOSAGE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. If needed to spark systems back into action, 40 drops per hour, while awake until well. Then as a maintenance, 40 drops, 3 times per day to stay well. VITAMIN C - TIME RELEASE TABLETS(Time Release)-Makes healthy elastic connective tissue and skin. Strengthens the immune system. Helps to counteract the harmful effects of pollution, smoking, antibiotics, steroids and oral contraceptives. Nourishes the adrenal glands (the anti-stress glands, one on top of each kidney) and brain. Reduces tension. Moderates the internal pressure of the eyes. Reduces excess cholesterol and triglyceride (fatty compounds) levels in the blood. Repairs injuries and wounds faster. It is well established that the undesirable effects of aging and the effects of Vitamin C deficiency (called scurvy) are very similar when you compare them. That being the case, why let these undesirable effects occur? To be more specific, Vitamin C is known to strengthen blood vessels, restore flexibility to connective tissue and speed wound healing. Vitamin C is an antioxidant (poison antidote) and therefore counteracts the injurious effects of free radicals (highly reactive unbalanced chemical compounds and sometimes oxygen compounds) that cause the body tissues to break down. Free radicals occur naturally in the process of living or they may be introduced from smoking or other sources of pollution. Vitamin C is known to improve the health of the immune system. It is taken in higher amounts to shake the distress of a cold or an infectious flu. Vitamin C is an all around essential vitamin, which can also act in the place of missing nutritional gaps. That is to say, it can adapt to body conditions. It identifies that which is needed or going wrong and corrects it or can, for a time; act as what is missing until the deficiency can be made up. So when in doubt, a person will not make a mistake by taking a generous supply of this vitamin. Vitamin C dissolves in water and thus cannot be stored very well in the body, so enjoy it each and every day. SUPPORT OF IMMUNE SYSTEM: The coated formulation of the tablets allows for a sustained time release and a continuous supply of Vitamin C to the cells of the body. Contains no artificial flavors, artificial colors, sucrose or starch. DOSAGE: Take 1 tablet each day with a meal. This bottle has an inner seal for your assurance. Color variation can occur in these tablets due to the natural botanical sources used to make the product. WILD ROSE HIPSThe seed cradle of roses, located under the flower head after the petals drop, is called the "hip.” An extract of this "hip,” without its seeds, contains a pure natural Vitamin C. A true Wild Rose Hip Extract contains no chemical sour taste of synthetic Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as an additive. Beware of Rose Hip extracts that say on the label, "with rosehips" or list rose hips as one of the ingredients. Wild Rose Hips contain not just Vitamin C, but also the supporting substances called bioflavonoids ("living colors"), such as rutin and hesperidins which, in turn, make the absorption of Vitamin C easier. In this way, the connective tissues of the body are made elastic and youthful. This prevents wrinkling and sagging, strengthens the blood vessels, capillaries (tiny blood vessels) included, and stops the inclination to bruise easily. Scurvy is a dis-ease which causes death with symptoms almost indistinguishable from degenerative aging. But there is good news. The Wild Rose Hip cures scurvy. The Vitamin C in Wild Rose Hips is a poison antidote and increases the effectiveness of all other vitamins. With all these wonderful qualities, we can see why the Wild Rose Hip wraps its "babies" (the seeds) in a cradle of Vitamin C and associated substances. It is, then, no wonder that Wild Rose Hips easily qualify as a life extender and protector. Take daily, as it does not store for more than a few days in the body. Cultivated roses are never used as a source for this extract, as they have lost the ability to bear seeds for offspring and are no longer tough enough to be "hardy survivors" like the friendly, familiar, Wild Rose. If you were ever curious what the hip of a Wild Rose would taste like, you may be pleasantly surprised. DOSAGE: 5 to 20 drops, three to four times per day. If debilitated, or more serious cases needing body repair, 40 to 80 drops, three times per day. WINTERGREEN OIL When we say WINTERGREEN we mean any of many small, hardy evergreen herbs about six inches tall or, if you prefer, 15 centimeters tall, that grow as a kind of ground cover. It is found in abundance in the North Eastern region of North America (U.S. and Canada). The best known type of Wintergreen has the scientific name of (Gaultheria procumbens). Wintergreen has leathery, green, broad leaves and loves to grow as a thick carpet in the partial shade of the woods in its rich earth, but can be found on open ranges too. Its most common name of Wintergreen is surely due to the fact that in the winter its leaves can still be seen to be alive and green. Its white bell-like flowers produce edible scarlet red berries that taste spicy and refreshing with a texture somewhat like a moist, ground up nut or grain. Contained within the entire plant is an ache and discomfort relieving, compound similar to aspirin. The chemical name for this compound is salicylate (suh-liss’-uh-late). The natural oil from the Wintergreen plant is almost 98% salicylate in the form of methyl (meth’-ul) salicylate. It is found in a surprising number of places in every day life, classified as a flavoring agent. For example, widespread use is made of Wintergreen in toothpaste, common beverages such as root beer and Coca Cola and chewing gum. When you go across the sea to England you will find Wintergreen Oil is currently recognized in their official medical book, the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia (farm-uh-ko-pea-uh) as a specific remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. That means if you have joints, muscles and tendons, bones or nerves that hurt and you put Wintergreen Oil on the area externally, it fixes it. Wintergreen works in two ways, one way is to quickly relieve discomfort and the other way is to break up the uric (your-ick) acid or other deposits. Then the body can flush them out. This is why we say you should also drink a large glass of clean natural water. Even better, you can drink a diuretic (die-you-ret-ik) tea. This is a tea, which will encourage the kidneys to go to work. As examples, try Peppermint tea or Alfalfa tea to flush the crystals and wastes out of the body that the Wintergreen Oil breaks loose. It should also be mentioned here that this new dis-ease you hear so much about called fibromyalgia (f-eye-bro-my-al-gee-uh) is very similar to what used to be called by the old-fashioned word “rheumatism” (roo-muh-tiz-em). It just so happens that Wintergreen Oil can be used externally for rheumatism with pretty good results. The people of England were not the first to discover Wintergreen. Our American “Indians” or first Americans knew this plant well and appreciated it for the taste of its refreshing berries. They lived basically outside without our modern heating. This can be a real stress on the joints. You can believe they gave thanks for the boiled tea of Wintergreen to relieve the torment of rheumatism. They not only drank the tea to treat coughs loosen mucus and relieve discomfort, they wrapped body parts with it as well. The natural oil is seldom used these days because there is a synthetic oil which is so plentiful and cheap. Herbalists however demand the natural and enjoy its added benefits even if it does cost a bit more. The natural plant oil has a control mechanism built into it so you don’t have to worry so much about side effects. Wintergreen Oil is used mainly externally, although a small amount can be brushed on the tongue as needed. Wintergreen Oil “tightens” or tones living tissue. Wintergreen Oil is also a non-habit forming stimulant. DOSAGE: As stated, Wintergreen Oil is a pain reliever. It handles swellings and can be rubbed on rheumatism areas for relief. Apply to the chest to break up mucus and brush a little on the tongue. All the herb information on this web-site is provided by The Center for Building Better Health Naturally, Inc.
