Spring is here along with all the pollen issues;  allergy eyes, lung congestion, skin outbreaks.  Below are several herbal suggestions for clearing and or preventing the springtime allergy season.

Ensure the bowels are moving well. Constipation is a major cause for allergy issues.  The waste trapped in the bowel is picked up by the blood and recycled throughout the body.  Holding toxic waste in the bowel, (body)is never a good idea. Use the LBF #1 Formula (Lower Bowel Formula #1) as needed to ensure healthy regular elimination is occurring.

One bowel movement a day is not enough.  Over the years many members have assured me their bowels are working fine only for me to discover fine in their minds is one movement in the morning.  We were created to have a bowel movement in the morning and after every major meal.  Meaning to function well the bowels should move three or more times a day.

The Liver dumps waste into the colon during the night.  The liver is active during the night filling the colon with waste which is normally eliminated first thing upon rising in the morning.  This accounts for the early morning movement many assume is the only one needed.

Chewing and swallowing food enact the peristaltic (The wavelike muscular contractions which pushes ingested food through the digestive tract.) The meal currently being consumed is moved to the stomach and small intestine.  The meal from before which has been resting, being absorbed in the small intestine is now pushed on into the colon and the meal resting in the colon is moved on for elimination from the body.

This is how we were made to function.  Three meals only in the body at any  given time.  If you are eating dinner, then lunch is moving from your small intestine to your colon and breakfast is up for elimination within an hour or so of your meal.

Flush your liver. Do an ELF (Emergency Liver Flush).  The liver is our internal vacuum cleaner.  When the liver is full of waste it is unable to process toxins out properly.  As an alternative of eliminating through normal channels it begins to push waste out through any number of areas. A favorite is the Skin, which will breakdown quickly when used to eliminate the toxic waste from the liver, resulting in hives, blisters, scaly red patches ect.

Allergy Eyes: Eliminate the itchy, watery eyes by flushing the eyes with the Eyebright formula.

Congestion issues: Relief or prevention of the Runny nose, and congested lungs associated with allergy season can be supported with the A&H formula (Allergy & Hay fever formula. More information on Allergies and Hay fever is available in our Allergy Information Sheet available at the top of this page.

Lobelia as a Preventive:  The world is in a panic over the Ebola Infection, and well they should be.  Knowing how infectious diseases work in the body will help us develop an herbal remedy for any would be killer virus.  I know our loving heavenly Father has not left us without hope or help.  Today I will offer several suggestions that have not failed in the past to clear any infection I have used them on.

Preventive Measures: Lobelia can be used to stop the invasion of any infectious disease.  Between when the virus is contracted and when symptoms begin to appear is the incubation time.  During this period the virus is blocking up the system so it can take over the body.  Keeping our system’s open so normal waste can be properly removed prevents the blockage from being established which is key to not succumbing to an infectious disease.

Dr. Christopher has this to say on the subject of prevention: Lobelia is said to be an excellent remedy (and preventative) for infectious diseases. Since most fevers result from obstruction in some part of the system–usually the digestive tract, we have found–Lobelia “locates” and removes the obstruction. We have seen this happen many times with children; they begin to sicken, and you can tell there is something congesting their system. By removing that congestion, you remove the cause of the illness.

Lobelia can be used as an enema to remove congestion from the body via the colon. When Lobelia causes vomiting, Dr. Stan Malstrom claims, it usually signals a cleansing process in the body expelling debris that cannot be expelled in any other way. He considers it an effective remedy in scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, mumps, and other contagious diseases.

It gives almost immediate relief from suffocating mucus and phlegm that has accumulated in the respiratory tract and which is often associated with these diseases.

In connection with infectious diseases, Dr. Christopher told a story about one of the most contagious of them all–mononucleosis. A woman, an elderly student of Dr. Christopher’s, was in contact with the disease with the employees she worked with at a nursery hothouse. Since all of them had been using the company drinking fountain, all of them were exposed to the disease, and there was almost a complete turnover in employees because of it.

The lady tried to locate Dr. Christopher to ask what she should take to prevent getting the disease, but he was away lecturing. She took a bottle of Lobelia tincture to work with her, and took ¼ teaspoon or 35 drops in a teaspoonful of distilled water every hour. Out of all the employees, she was the only one who did not get mononucleosis! Dr. Christopher thought that she might have needed to drink a teaspoonful every so often, (Suggested time would be 1 teaspoon every three hours) as he thought more might be needed to do the job!

Often a person who has a fever coming on will take the teaspoonful of tincture of Lobelia with a glass of water. After vomiting, the fever breaks and the person is able to go about his regular duties. Dr. Christopher said that Lobelia is an anti-infection herb as well as a relaxant.

Suggestions for Infectious Diseases

Infections can kill.  Any infection should be taken very seriously.   If you even suspect you have been exposed to any dangerous infection it is time to begin a strong infection clearing program.  Here is the best advice I can offer, a proven remedy for every acute infection brought to my attention.

1.       Begin using one ¼ teaspoon lobelia as a preventive every waking hour or 1 teaspoon every three waking hours.
2.       Do the “Flu Buster Remedy” as often as needed.  This can be done daily for a week or more in serious cases if needed.
3.       Begin the Foundational Infection Program using both the Infection formula and the Herbal Antibiotic every three hours.  One hour take the Infection formula, 2^nd hour take the Herbal Antibiotic, third hour take nothing, then begin again.
4.       Do the garlic paste to the feet one or two nights in a row.
5.       Flush your liver two or three times a week while clearing a major infection.

All of these suggestions are being offered under the assumption that the foundational healing programs are in place.

The three Foundational Programs are:

•          Bowel Cleansing (the bowels are open and working well),
•          Boosting with Echinacea (big part of this program)

·         Nutrition (lots of Superfood and fresh juices)

Fever is not a disease but a condition in the body wherein the balance of circulation has become disturbed. A fever is nature’s way of trying to burn out the toxic poisons. When the body becomes exposed to excessive chilling or dampness, the capillaries near the surface contract and the pores become obstructed with body waste matter, effective sealing them closed.  This results in a containment of body heat and a sudden rise of body temperature. In fever the natural body function is to increase the heat to a point wherein the thick glutinous and fibrinous matters loading and congesting the system are made liquid enough to pass through the fine and delicate excretory membranes and tubules, flushing out of the body in the sweat.

When a Fever Just Gets started: it can be cleared up very easily, if these following procedures are started early. One of the simplest remedies is to

• Stop the use of all foods and beverages,
• Take a high herbal enema (catnip is good)
• Drink only red raspberry tea.

Between cups of this tea, distilled water may be used, and if desired, give some good organic (natural) Vitamin C.

Drink several quarts of red raspberry tea during the day, but no solid foods.

The running nose, fever, headache and weariness will soon leave and one will feel like a new person. Even after feeling greatly improved, continue on with the red raspberry leaf tea all that day and well into the next day.

If an adult will stay on the tea for three days, it would do a wonderful cleansing job for the body.

To make red raspberry leaf tea put one heaping teaspoonful of cut or granulated (powdered) raspberry leaves into a teacup. Fill the cup with boiling distilled water, cover and let stand in a warm place for five or ten minutes. Strain, and drink it while it is very warm (You may use an ounce of red raspberry leaves to a pint of distilled water, if desiring to make up more at a time).

Every day I am asked for help with one type of infection or another that has gotten a foot hold in someone’s body.  Clearing an infection from the body can only be done by supporting the body’s own immune system.  The suppression therapy practiced by westernized medicine will not clear the infection from the body but only suppress the issue so the symptoms disappear.

The following natural healing suggestions have been used to clear everything from the common cold to major life threating infections.  Below are several excellent suggestions starting with a simple infection program for minor infections then advancing up to major infection work for life threating issues.

Suggestion for clearing Long Term Infections from the body: Do the Basic Infection Program with an occasional liver flush (ELF).  An example of a long term infection would be someone who has repeatedly used proscribed Antibiotics to clear a recurring infection from the system.

Basic Infection Program:

• Use the Herbal Antibiotic or Infection formula every three waking hours
• Use 1 ounce Echinacea Once a day for each day you are doing any infection work
• Do Garlic Paste to the feet as needed. See Video in Members area for details

Moderate Infection Program:

• Use 1 Teaspoon Herbal Antibiotic and or Infection Formula every 2 waking hours. If desired you may trade between the Infection and Herbal Antibiotic every two hours.  Example: at 2pm use 1 tsp. Herbal Antibiotic; 4 pm 1 tsp. Infection Formula; 6 pm 1 tsp. Herbal Antibiotic; 8 pm 1 tsp. infection formula; ect…
• Use 1 ounce Echinacea once a day for each day you are doing any infection work
• Do Garlic Paste to the feet as needed. See Video in Members area for details
• Do an ELF Every 4 days until infection is cleared. See Video How to do an ELF

Intense Infection Program:

• Use 1 tsp. Infection or Herbal Antibiotic each hour, switching between the two formulas. Example: 1 pm use Herbal Antibiotic; 2 pm use Infection Formula; 3 pm use Herbal Antibiotic; ect…
• Use 1 ounce Echinacea Once or twice a day for Each Day you are doing the infection Program
• Do Garlic Paste to feet as needed, See Video in Members area for details
• Do An ELF Each Night for 5 (Five) night in a row. See Video How to do an ELF

NOTE: The amount of the two infection formulas can be doubled if needed.

See Infection Poultice for topical or ear infection issues.

Several cases of Strep Throat have come to my attention this past week.  The changing weather often will bring on the cold and flu season.  Strep throat is a bacterial throat infection that can make your throat feel sore and scratchy. Only a small portion of sore throats are the result of strep throat.

It is important for any number of reasons to clear Strep Throat quickly before the infection is allowed to spread to, or weaken other areas of the body.  Due to the contagious nature of this illness preventive measures should be used when possible.  The infection is typically spread in the form of airborne respiratory droplets.

Strep Throat Prevention

• Keep eating utensils, dishes, and drinking glasses separate from any infected person.
• Do not to share food and drinks, napkins, handkerchiefs, or towels.
• Cover the mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough to prevent the release of infected airborne droplets.
• Washing the hands frequently will prevent the infection being spread to others.

Natural & Herbal Suggestions for Clearing Strep Throat

Here are a few suggestions that have been used repeatedly over the years with great success.

ICE POULTICE:  At the first sign of a sore throat apply an Ice Poultice to the neck.  If done at the first sign of discomfort this procedure will often completely clear the issue.  The Ice Poultice can be reapplied as needed to knock down the puss pockets and clear throat discomfort.

FOUNDATIONAL INFECTION PROGRAM: Using the Herbal Antibiotic every three hours and Echinacea as suggested in the Infection Information Sheet.  These formulas support the body as it processes the infection from the body.

GARLIC PASTE TO THE FEET: This procedure will support the clearing of any infection found anywhere in the system.  The Garlic Paste Story.  Garlic Paste Q&A  Directions for Doing the Garlic Paste

M&L Salve: Use the M&L Salve as a pack over swollen lymph nodes around the neck area, under the arms or around the legs.

It is always best to work with nature, not against it. A proper understanding of why the body becomes feverish will pave the way for intelligently supporting a fevered body.  A fever is not a disease but is when a congested condition occurs in the body wherein the removal of waste is being blocked.  A Fever is nature’s way of trying to burn out the toxic poisons.

A Fever often occurs when exposure to cold causes the capillaries near the skins surface to contract.  This contraction is enough to prevent the removal of waste matter through the pores of the skin.  The thick glutinous and fibrinous matters begin to harden creating congestion in the system.  The natural function of the body is to increase the heat to a point wherein the fibrinous matters are made liquid enough to pass through the fine delicate excretory membranes and tubules.

When a Fever Just Gets Started: it can be cleared up very easily, if these following procedures are started early.

• Stop the use of all foods and beverages,
• Take a high herbal enema (catnip is good)
• Drink only red raspberry tea.
• Between cups of this tea, distilled water may be used

• Drink several quarts of red raspberry tea during the day, but no solid foods.

The running nose, fever, headache and weariness will soon leave and one will feel like a new person. Even after feeling greatly improved, continue on with the red raspberry leaf tea all that day and well into the next day.
