Over the years I have put together a list of items to keep on hand in case of emergency. With these in my medicine cabinet I’m prepared for any emergency.

Lower Bowel Formula #2
An excellent Remedy for Vomiting and Diarrhea.

In the case of active vomiting (Food Poisoning or stomach Flu) an adult dose would be a tablespoon in 8 to 10 ounces of water.  Drink down all at once.

This will most likely come back up shortly, but it will have absorbed the bacteria from the stomach that is contributing to the vomiting.

Once the stomach has been cleared with the LBF #2 the person can then add 1 tsp. Digestive tonic to 6 to 8 ounces of water and drink all at once, to settle the stomach. (if you do not have Digestive Tonic you can use: a strong cup of Peppermint tea, or an ounce of juiced Ginger Root juice.  Either of these will usually work well.

For Cases of Diarrhea the adult dosage is 1 heaping tablespoonful in a full glass of water with each watery stool.  It is doubtful you will need more that a dose or two.

 Cayenne

Cayenne is the first thing you will want to reach for in the case of a Heart attack or stroke, it is also guaranteed to immediately clear bouts of dizziness or vertigo.  (No one hits the floor with a mouth full of cayenne.)

Cuts, Nose Bleeds, internal Bleeding, anytime you are leaking blood, cayenne, is the answer.

Cayenne works to equalize blood pressure in the body which quickly stops bleeding from any wound no matter how serious.  IT can be put right into the wound to stop the bleeding and taken by mouth to aid the body from the inside to seal over the injured area.  Wounds that have been treated with cayenne tend to heal very quickly with very little discomfort.

Lobelia

Breathing issues, Spasms, Seizures, Charlie Horses.  One to two droppers of Lobelia right in the mouth for quick relief of these issues.  Colic relief for Baby: Try 10 to 15 drops in a few ounces of water for a relaxed and happy baby.  For an adult with server gas pains one to two dropper full in a glass of water will usually do the trick.

Eyebright & Eye Cups

Pink Eye is a painful eye ailment that will spread quickly to anyone who comes in contact with the carrier.  Flushing the eyes with a solution of Eyebright and distilled water will normally give quick relief.

Digestive Tonic

This formula is Anti-nausea, Anti-gas, Clears Acid reflex, any time you are dealing with digestive discomfort this would be the first item to reach for.

Nervine Tonic

An excellent Sleep aid it is also good for Anxiety Issues.  When taken about a half hour before you want to fall asleep this formula will quiet your mind and allow you to become naturally drowsy. It can also be taken in lower dosages during the day for anxiety disorders.

BF&C Extract or Salve

The Bone Flesh & Cartilage formula taken internally and applied topically the day of an injury can greatly reduce healing time.  The salve is great on any type of muscle pull or strain, sore knees & joints. (Do not apply the salve to an open wound.)

Echinacea & Herbal Antibiotic

The perfect pair to clear any infection.  These two formulas have been used to clear everything from strep throat to painful Bladder infections.  Anytime the body indicates, (usually with a fever) it has infection work to do, this combination will assist in clearing it from the system.

Jewel Weed Salve

Here is nature’s antidote for poison ivy, poison oak, stinging nettle.  It is also great on bug bits, bee stings, and wasp stings.  I’ve also had members use it to help with fungus itch while they were using the Black Walnut to clear the fungus from their feet.

Information that will keep you out of the Emergency Room

Here are some First aid tips for a few major conditions. Kidney Stones and Gallbladder Attacks can often end up with you in an emergency room receiving medical intervention that can create more problems than they help.

Kidney Stones

The first rule don’t become dehydrated.  Keep drinking.  If you do not have the “Stone Dissolve Kit” on hand there are a couple things you can do to get more comfortable.

• 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in 10-12 ounces of water, 3 times a day will make a huge difference.  This will usually knock out the pain.
• For additional comfort try applying a moist heating pad over the affected kidney.
• Hot fomentation’s are also very good.

These little guides will help you manage the pain while you get your stone dissolve drink prepared.

Gallbladder Attack

Emergency Herbal Treatment for a Gallbladder Attack

1. Stop eating all food immediately which is a good idea with any acute illness. Take 4 droppersful of Digestive Tonic and 4 droppersful of the Liver/Gallbladder & Anti-Parasite Formula in an ounce of warm water immediately.
2. Prepare and Drink a Liver Flush. In an emergency fresh apple-lemon juice is preferred, but any juice will work. Use at least 3 cloves of Garlic and 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil.
3. Lie on your RIGHT side with a hot pack over your liver, Caster Oil packs over the liver are very beneficial as is hot and cold hydrotherapy.
4. 15 minutes later drink 2 cups of hot, STRONG Detoxification Herb Tea that has 6 droppersful of the Liver/Gallbladder & Anti-Parasite Formula in each cup.
5. When the pain has subsided a bit, give yourself a high enema, relax, take an hour to do it.
6. For any spasmodic pain or cramping in the liver take an additional 4 droppersful of the Digestive Tonic and 1/2 to 1 dropperful of Lobelia in an ounce of water.

If the pain persists in an hour, repeat all of these steps using 3 cloves of garlic and 5 Tablespoons of olive oil. The patient should than immediately start using the 5 Day Cleansing and Detoxification Program using the Liver and Gallbladder Flush and the Liver/Gallbladder & Anti-Parasite Formula and Detoxification Herb Tea. Remember, a gallbladder attack should be a wakeup call to change a person’s lifestyle to a liver friendly one.

Sciatic Rheumatism

Clean Out the Bowel: A condition of sciatic rheumatism will always develop where the sigmoid portion of the lower bowel becomes congested, and the toxic poisons from the bowel subsequently flow into the adjacent area, irritating the nerves controlling the sacroiliac and, in turn, throwing it out of place–and so goes the vicious cycle! Hence, a periodic purification and cleansing of the lower intestinal tract is very important.  This is your sewage system–and when the eliminative function is efficient and clean, you do not have to worry about sluggishness or toxification in the system.—Dr. Christopher
