Those new to natural healing may question the need for supporting the bowels at all. No healing can happen in a body where the waste is not being removed. Holding a cesspool in the middle of your body filled with months or years of backed up waste is creating a diseased condition throughout the entire system. Clearing the bowel will not only open the largest channel for waste removal but will also aid in clearing and cleaning the blood.
The Herbs in the Lower Bowel Formula #1 provide the bowel a natural support that not only aids in removing waste but over time will strengthen the muscular tone of the bowel. IT has been said that these laxative herbs are addictive. To answer this allegation we need to look closely at what the herbs actually do and do not do.
The nutrients in these herbs when brought into contact with the bowel cause the peristalsis, (the wavy movement of the intestine that propel the contents onward), to work more effectively. The increased activity strengthens the muscular tone of the bowel. As the bowel tone is strengthened the need for the herbal supports becomes less and less until the herbal supports are no longer needed.
An addictive substance is known to cause the body to need more and more until the organ or body part atrophies or becomes useless without the aid of the addictive substance. This is not the case with these herbal bowel supports, they not only aid in clearing the toxic waste from the body but they also strengthen the bowel to work more effectively. This is NOT how an addictive substance works.
The herbal laxatives in this formula do NOT work on the content of the bowel by bulking the waste up with fiber or adding a coating of oil to help the waste slide out.
They DO cause the muscular tone to work more effectively, propelling the waste through the bowel naturally.
The instructions for using there herbal supports:
Take one capsule the first night with your evening meal, two capsules the second night, three the third night. Continue to increase by one capsule each night until you have found the correct number of capsules for your bowels to effectively clear the waste from your body.
The question usually asked at this point is; what is a healthy functioning bowel? How many bowel movements a day are normal?
Our bodies are made to have a bowel movement each morning shortly after rising; this movement is mostly composed of waste eliminated from the liver into the bowel over the nighttime hours. About an hour after each major meal the bowels, when functioning well, will eliminate. The reason we know this should be is because when we chew and swallow food the peristalsis motion is initiated. The meal we are currently eating is moved from the stomach to the small intestine. The meal from early in the day or the night before is now moved from the small intestine into the bowel. The meal resting in the bowel is now moved into place for elimination.
The BEET TEST: Our bodies are made to deal with only three meals at any given time. At lunch time breakfast is moved on into the bowel and dinner from the night before is ready to be eliminated. To determine how well the bowel is performing it is suggested you do the “BEET TEST”. This is done by eating a healthy portion of steamed beets at the beginning of your meal. Make a note of when the beets are consumed. Now watch the waste as you eliminate to see how long it takes for the beets to move through and out of your body. The beets will serve as a marker they go in red and come out red so it is easy to see when they are passed. It should take about 24 hours in a normal functioning body for them be eliminated.
Tips for using the LBF #1’s
The LBF #1 will not cause unwanted bowel movements as the work they do is initiated when food is chewed and swallowed. It is suggested you not chew gum between meals as the chewing can start the peristalsis motion bringing on movement before its time.
The LBF #’1 can be taken at any time during the day. Most like to take them with their evening meal so the strongest effect or push will occur early in the morning. The formula kicks in about 12 hours after they have been ingested.
IF you forget to take daily dose before bed you can make it up first thing in the morning. Upon rising take the missing LBF #1 dose; you may want to put a little something on your stomach before swallowing them. In the evening with take your regular dose like normal.
The average person uses between 3 and 5 capsules daily. Many must use as many as 10-15 or more. There is no limit use what you need to eliminate the waste from your body.
As the bowel strengthens the body will not require as many of the LBF #1’s. It may be several months or longer before the bowel will require less of the herbal formula. When the time comes you will discover the amount that has been working just fine for months is now making you a bit too loose. This is all fine, drop a capsule or two from your daily routine. Continue at the lower dose until your body lets you know it needs even less. Use as much as needed for as long as needed, your body will let you know when to cut back.
Praise be for BFC! Last month my fair skinned daughter had a really bad sunburn and on a whim I told her to put the BFC on it and it relieved the pain as well as healed the burn much more quickly. Daughter #2 had the same experience but waited until she was already peeling to use it and it stopped the peeling – she used a light face scrub to remove the dead skin, applied the BFC and no more peeling!
Breakdown of the skin in the form of rashes, blisters, and eczema, cannot be addressed with a topical application or soothing salve. It is necessary to go to the heart of the issue by flushing the liver. As the vacuum cleaner of the body, the liver is constantly pulling waste from the blood and lymphatic fluids as they cycle through the organ. When the liver is unable to dispose of this filtered waste through normal channels because of blockage on the way to, or backup in the bowels the waste is then vicariously eliminated through the skin. As an organ the skin is unable to handle the toxic waste produced by the liver and will quickly breakdown becoming rashy or forming blisters.
There is so much to be thankful for. This has been a fantastic week. The humidity has felt low and the sun has been out all week. Almost makes me feel like I still live in California instead of North Carolina.
Since my early teens anything that promised strength or energy was of interest. A low functioning thyroid, bouts of depression and physical weakness have plagued my life. Learning how to use the herbal gifts to better support the overall health of the body has enabled me to also learn what works and what doesn’t.
I have recently discovered, first hand, how valuable the nervine herbs are for relieving nerve pain. What you might call a “fire ball” of pain had developed in my knee. None of the regular herbal remedies were bringing any level of relief. Searching in Dr. Christopher’s writings I found a reference to the use of nervine herbs for nerve pain. I applied the General Nervine Tonic directly from the bottle to the painful area on my knee. It was as if I’d taken a fire hose to the pain. Just wiped it out. I was amazed. The relief lasted about three hours. When it began to wear off I applied more. It continued to work. We quickly made a salve from the formula which continued to relieve the pain in my injured knee.
Pain of any kind can destroy the quality of life. Learning the best way to stop the hurt without hurting another part of the body is where natural healing with herbs can help. All the drugs used by hospitals for pain place a heavy weight on the liver. Since it is the liver’s job to clear poisons, drugs, ect from the system it goes to reason the liver would be constantly degraded with the habitual use of pain medication.
