Learning how best to support our glandular system, what foods are needed to provide these internal factories with the needed nutrients for them to produce the hormones needed to maintain our best health. Our glandular system supports, digestion, absorption and utilization of all food elements and the very existence of cells. No physiological or mental activity is possible without them. In their absence the body and its activities would cease to be. Manifestly, the glands cannot pick their required elements form the blood unless their progenitors were previously taken in the foods eaten.
We are going to take a good look at the best herbal supports and foods to support the Thyroid gland, Adrenal glands, and Pancreas Gland.
There is so much I could say about the benefits of these glandular formulas. The Support they have provided in my body and the relief and healing provided to many of our members has been great. I cannot say enough on the healing power of these God Given Gifts. I dare not say more.
The Thyroid, through the hormone thyroxine determines growth, controls body temperature, regulates the metabolism or the burning of food in the body and influences, to a great extent mental and emotional balance. The master herb for the thyroid is Kelp. Whither the thyroid is overactive or underactive, kelp will prove helpful in healing and restoring normal function to this gland. Our info sheet on Thyroid will provide information on how to use the M&L Salve to shrink a goiter or remove cysts from the gland itself.
Herbal Supports for the Thyroid: Super-kelp Capsules or Powder; M&L Salve, and the Glands formula.
Adrenal Glands are absolutely essential to life. The adrenals, often referred to as the suprarenal, are the Creator’s most intricate chemical factories. “it would take acres of chemical plants” to synthetically manufacture “the 50 odd hormones or hormone like substances” produced by the adrenal glands.
Most hypoglycemics have problems feeding themselves, for they crave protein and sugar, yet these substances are wearing on the adrenals, which are often exhausted in hypoglycemics. You need to feed the adrenals with Licorice root and Hawthorne berries, the later being said to produce natural adrenalin.
Herbal Supports for the Adrenals: Adrenal Formula; Licorice Root extract; Hawthorne extract; Glands Formula.
Pancreas Gland, Malfunction can manifest in one of two ways; Diabetes, which is high blood sugar or hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. Though they are completely different, they both stem from the same cause, a malfunction of the pancreas, which is what must be supported so it can function normally again. The Master herb for the Pancreas is Cedar Berries.
Herbal Supports for the Pancreas Gland: Pancreas Aid; (ELF)Liver Flushing; (LBF #1)Bowel Cleansing.
Abnormal and excessive accumulation or infiltration of diluted lymph serum in the interfibrillar spaces of the subcutaneous connective tissue or in the serious (peritoneal or pleural) cavities of the body which do not drain.
This condition is accompanied by swelling, scanty urine, poor appetite, sluggishness, and debility. The swelling usually begins in the feet and ankles and proceeds up the legs towards the abdomen.
Cause
Heavy salt users often have edema as do diabetics. We do not pinpoint the symptoms as to locality (hydrocephalus, hydrothorax, ascites, etc.), as does orthodox medicine, but the general problem is that fluid does not eliminate properly through the kidneys and skin.
Dr. Edward Shook had the following to say about dropsy (Edema):
“When sulfuric acid is generated within the organism, it immediately unites with water and swells up. This action produces heat, which expands the capillaries. The osmotic pressure forces the serum through the walls of the blood vessels, producing inflammation and dropsy (edema).
Hence the using of inorganic matter is always poisonous to the human organism in spite of all the apparent evidence to the contrary.”
What Can be Done for Dropsy?
This was a question put to Dr. Christopher in his newsletter. His answer: For mild or beginning forms of dropsy caused by urinary malfunction, we have the following:
For a severe case let us cite a good case of how it can be handled in most cases.
A lady came into our weekly Tuesday night lecture a little late, after we had barely started. She asked if she could interrupt and tell something that had happened to her since the last lecture, a week ago. We said we’d be happy to hear her story, so she told us the reason she was a little late was because of a long distance phone call she had just received.
Just after the last lecture, the Tuesday before, she received a call from her brother-in-law in Chicago. He told her that if she wanted to see her twin sister alive she had better fly back there immediately because the doctors had said she had only a day or two to live.
Our student took a few days off from work and arrived in Chicago on the following Friday. She went in to see her sister and would not have recognized her if she hadn’t been told who it was. Her sister was so badly swollen from edema (dropsy) that she seemed to be only a bloated, unrecognizable mass of flesh. She had been under doctors’ care for a number of months, and they had been unable to give her anything but temporary aid from the water accumulation. Now they were utterly baffled and had, at the family’s request, sent her home from the hospital to die (being given a day or two or slightly more grace).
The sick and suffering twin was in a coma, not recognizing anyone, and our student cried when she saw her favorite sister lying there helpless, with little school children needing their mother so much, so she asked the husband if he would allow her to use an herbal routine she had heard about at a lecture recently. He said the family’s doctor was just waiting for her to die anyway, so go ahead!
Our lady found a little health food store nearby and bought some parsley root and glycerine (this was animal glycerine, we now use vegetable glycerine which is superior).
When she got back she made up parsley root tea (one teaspoon of herb to a cup of water, or one ounce of herb to the pint of water), making up about one gallon of the tea. (Steam distilled water is 30% more efficient than tap water and is our choice.)
One quart of the tea was used straight to give to this patient orally, and three quarts of the parsley root tea was mixed with equal parts of glycerine (making six quarts of the mixture) for fomentations.
They would give a cup of parsley tea each one half hour to the patient to drink, and the heated combination (of parsley and glycerine) was used as a fomentation over the badly swollen legs, arms and abdomen. This was done by soaking white flannel cloths and laying them over the areas. (Use cotton or wool, never use synthetic cloth.)
As the patient lay there so helpless, her sister remembered instructions given to follow the progress of the treatment. She was to lift the corner of the cloth, after the fomentation had been on for a short time, and watch to see if the pores were starting to take the water from swollen areas. She said that as she looked it was like seeing hundreds of little springs coming from the body. She had made this trip and was walking by faith, using a formula she did not know about or had ever used before. She had just heard of it at our lecture that previous Tuesday. She had to fly back to work on Monday, so she left all the instructions with the husband to continue on with the program that had been started.
After work Tuesday she rushed home to get ready for the regular Tuesday night herb lecture and the phone rang. It was her brother-in-law from Chicago. He said, “There is someone here who would like to talk to you.” He put his wife on the phone. Even though she had laid helpless for months and part of the time in a semi-conscious condition, she was on the phone now, so happy she was crying. The swelling had gone down, and she was recovering rapidly–in fact she said she got the children’s breakfast and fixed their school lunches that day and was so grateful “to be a mother again”–not a dying patient. There were not many dry eyes in the lecture room that Tuesday night when she finished her story.
For those new to detoxing and cleansing programs, getting into, and doing the work can be overwhelming. Today I want to take the time to lay out a good plan for the simple week of cleansing or the extended long term healing programs.
The “Incurables Kit”, can be divided into four parts:
Foundational items: Lower Bowel Formula #1; Lower bowel Formula #2, Superfood; Echinacea
Nutritional tonics Specific to the issue you are healing: The items here are the rebuilding tonic specific to the areas needing attention in your body. Examples would be: BF&C Formula; Female Formula; Prostate Formula; Heart Tonic; ect…
The First step when beginning any detox or healing program is to establish the Foundational programs. The most vital being the Bowel Cleansing aids. In most cases the bowels are not moving well, they are backed up, which will prevent the start up of any of the detoxing programs. Until the bowels are open and moving waste out effectively it is not wise or helpful to begin any detox program. That said, the first step in any healing or detoxing program is to ensure the bowels are open and moving well. The Lower Bowel Formula #l (LBF #1) needs to be established starting with the first day of your program.
Day one: Take one capsule with your dinner meal or around the dinner hour if you are on a juice fast. Increase by one capsule each day until your bowels are open and working well. It may take several days for you to find “your number” of capsules needed to support bowel function. Be patient with yourself, this is an important beginning, getting the bowel supports established well will prevent any number of detoxing issues from appearing as you are doing the Flushing Programs.
During the first week while you are discovering how many LBF #1 Capsules you need to use each day you will also want to begin the herbal supports to build up your immune system. Using an ounce of Echinacea 4 days each week (Monday-Thursday) is a great place to begin. When the stronger programs are done it may be needed to increase the Echinacea to an ounce each day for 6 days each week. Always rest from this formula one day each week.
The Nutritional Supports include your food program Which will depend on the extent of detoxing or healing you are doing. When setting up for a strong healing program or detoxing program it may be advantageous to juice fast for the first 30 days. This will aid the body in the detoxing, healing, processes by providing massive amounts of nutrition at cellular level. Flooding the body with the healing nutrients needed to clear whatever issues you are facing. For the best understanding of the benefits of juicing read the article: “Health through Nutrition”.
The Superfood Powder is a powerful nutritional supplement which can be used freely. The Suggested use while doing your healing programs is 2 tablespoons in juice three times a day. It is an excellent meal replacement when juice fasting. Superfood will provide the protein support needed when doing a raw food program or Juice fast. When the energy level droops later in the day a large dose (4 tablespoons) of Superfood will often revive the body in about 15 minutes.
Those using a Vegan or Vegetarian food program will find 2 tablespoons of Superfood taken once a day an excellent source of the B Vitamins that can be hard to come by for those who choose not to consume animal products.
Once the bowels are open and functioning well it is time to begin the Lower bowel formula #2 (LBF #2).
LBF #2 is taken 1 tsp every three hours throughout the day. This will usually come to five doses a day. ( I have found the hours of 3,6,9, 12; an easy way of staying on schedule when doing a formula that needs to be taken every three hours. This is only a suggestion, do what will work for you.
When using the LBF #2 the bowels will tighten up a bit so you will need to increase the LBF #1 by 1 or 2 capsules daily to accommodate the use of the LBF #2. This is the actual bowel detoxing formula. It works as a “Bowel Vacuum” drawing toxin from the bowel walls.
Remember with the Lower Bowel Formulas you are in control, if the bowels are too tight take an extra LBF #1 Capsule at dinner time. If the bowels are too loose drop a capsule from your daily dose.
Once the basic program are in place, the LBF #1 and the LBF #2 are established it is time to add the detoxing programs. I prefer to begin my Five Day Liver or Kidney detox on a Monday.
The five day Liver Detox is best done juice fasting. If this is not needed or possible a raw food program can be used. My day begins early with my juicer humming as I make my drinks for the day. Once all my fruits and veggies have been made into the great juice I will drink throughout the day it is time to do my first liver flush for the day. I suggest doing three each day during the five day flush week. See the schedule in our Liver flushing E-book for details.
The Five day Kidney Detox can be done best with a juice fast but the raw food program will work also. Again you will make you daily juices for each day first thing in the morning. Follow by your first Kidney flush of the day. See the Kidney Flushing E-Book for detail instructions.
Today we are going to discuss a program for clearing impacted or inflamed sinuses. This past week I realized the program I have suggested for several members over the years has never been put in writing. The Suggestions provided have worked wonderfully to clear even impacted sinuses.
The herbal supports you will need to have on hand are:
Snuff
Herbal Antibiotic
Echinacea
Bowel Cleansing Routines: LBF #1 & LBF #2
Bowel Cleansing
When the sinuses are so blocked no air can move through them it is necessary to pry them open just a bit so the herbal Snuff can be inhaled and begin its work of softening and removing the blockage from the area. Here are a couple suggestions that never fail to get that small opening into the sinuses which will enable to herbals to be inhaled into the blocked up sinus cavity.
Suggestion #1: Cut up several onions. In Cases where the blockage is not too severe the vapors from the onions will be enough to get the eyes watering, the nose running. Please do not discount this simple suggestion, it can be highly effective for a stopped up head. Once air can be pulled through the nose begin to inhale the Herbal Snuff into the Sinuses. Keep drawing it up until you can taste the bitter Goldenseal herb in the back of your throat. As the herb begins to work you will need to blow your nose several times as the backed up waste is melted from the head.
Suggestion #2: Blend Fresh Horseradish Root with Apple Cider Vinegar to an apple sauce consistency. Hold ¼ to ½ tsp between your tongue and the top of your mouth. The oils and vapors from the horseradish are an amazingly effective for opening the air ways in the sinuses. Once air can be moved through the sinuses begin inhaling the Herbal Snuff, as described in Suggestion #1, to clear the packed up waste from the sinuses cavity.
Suggestion #3: Use your Wasabi paste, (Japanese Horseradish). It is a powerful highly effective aid for opening the sinuses. A word of caution for those who have never experienced Wasabi, it can be painful for those not used to the effect. I would suggest starting slowly with a good Wasabi paste. It will not physically hurt you but the effects can be uncomfortable for those new to this type of food. Again once you are able to pull air in through your nose you can begin to inhale the Herbal Snuff into the sinus cavity.
What to expect when snorting this herbal mix into the sinuses: Some people will experience a warm feeling in the sinuses, along with watering of the eyes. Shortly after the herbal powder is pulled up into the sinuses the nose will begin to drip. To me it feels like the waste is being melted out. The hard packed waste in the cavity will begin to soften and move with the pull of gravity to be expelled through the nose. I heard the testimony of one woman who pulled ropes of hardened mucus from her nose, effectively clearing the sinuses in her head.
The Snuff can be used freely. When I have needed to clear my head I have taken the time to inhale this mixture repeatedly until my head felt clear. Please note I have never suffered from blocked sinuses beyond the effects of a bad head cold. For those working to clear impacted sinuses the herbs will need more time to do the work of softening and clearing the waste.
Additional Aids for Clearing Congestion from the Head are:
Eye Health Class
Flushing the eyes with the Eyebright Formula: this will bring good circulation to the areas surrounding the eyes as well as clear waste from the eyes themselves. With the sinuses impacted or inflamed it would not be a surprise to discover the eyes are being affected and the circulation to them is also blocked up.
Hearing Loss Routine: Following this routine as found on our Hearing Loss Info Sheet, will aid in clearing the vertigo issues that often accompany impacted sinuses. The head can also become off balance causing occasional dizziness to occur when the sinuses are full of waste. The hearing can also become affected, remember the entire head is impacted because of the large amount of waste being held in the sinuses. Clearing the waste from the ears and supporting better circulation in this area of the head will also aid in clearing the sinuses. It is all connected.
Following the Herbal Infection Routines will prove helpful in aiding the body to remove the toxic waste you will be draining from your sinuses. A good infection program would be to follow the suggestions provided in our Infection Information Sheet. Depending on how long the issues have been allowed to remain unchallenged in the body will determine how long the infection work should be continued. There will be no harm in continuing to use the Infection formulas for several weeks to several months. Let your body tell you when enough is enough.

You are what you eat, drink, breathe, and think… AND what you don’t eliminate!
If this is your first time, the idea of an enema may make you feel really uneasy and awkward, and rightfully so. You also may not be confident in the purpose of it. Truth is, it may not be something you would choose to do at a day at the spa, BUT you may feel just as good when you’re done! At first it will be awkward, but it will become more natural and easier in a very short time. It’s only water… give it a try!
An enema washes the colon (large intestine) from the inside. The general American diet is made of highly processed foods that do not promote colon health. They become sticky and thick, line the colon walls, and slow the healthy wave-like contractions (peristalsis) that move waste along. Excess mucus thickens the waste and makes it move through sluggishly.
Constipation. If you are not going daily (ideally as many times as you eat a meal), it’s time to make some changes. Think of the bulk of food you eat in a day: about that much should leave your body. Your body is a juicer, and it spits out the fiber. Enemas help get things moving while you also drink more water, change your diet, add fiber and probiotics, and use the Lower Bowel Formula until you are going frequently and thoroughly.
Stomach aches and gas cramps. These are often caused by some level of constipation, a reaction to food, or the colon breaking loose old fecal matter, mucus and toxins during a cleanse. A series of enemas can give almost immediate relief.
Headaches. Depending on the cause, a series of enemas can help by releasing pent-up toxins and hydrating the bowel.
During a cleanse. When you give the body an opportunity to purge, it brings toxins up out of the places where it had them buried. If you don’t move them out quickly, they can be absorbed back through the colon wall and make you feel sick. Regular enemas keep the toxins moving out quickly and safely. Building the immune system with Echinacea is a great help at the same time. If anyone is doing any type of cleanse, they must be willing to do enemas.
Two Kinds of Enema
A regular enema only cleans out the rectum. These are the small Fleet-sized enemas you can buy. A high enema washes the whole length of the large intestine, sometimes with something added to the water for stimulation or a deeper cleanse. For your first few, use only warm, pure water.
Getting Ready
What to Buy
An enema bag system. These are often sold as a combination enema and douche kit; the bag is the same, only the nozzle differs. You will also need a lubricant. Natural oils such as pure olive oil or a water-soluble lubricant work. If you will be doing enemas daily, use BF&C Salve as your lubricant to protect the skin around the rectum.
Preparing Your Equipment
Clamp the tube. The bag comes with a clamp that fits over the tube near the nozzle. Clamp it shut before filling, or you will have a mess.
Fill with warm distilled water, about body temperature (95 to 100°F); test it on your wrist. Too hot and you cannot hold it and it is uncomfortable coming out. Too cold and the rectum will close up and won’t accept the water. Use the purest water you can, distilled is best, because you will absorb some of it through the colon.
Hang it up about 3 to 4 feet above the floor, where you can reach the tube easily while lying flat. A doorknob or towel rack is usually about right. The higher the bag, the stronger the flow. A permanent hook on the bathroom wall makes this easy; leave the rinsed bag hanging there, covered with a towel.
Clear the air from the tube. Hold the nozzle over the toilet, open the clamp for a couple of seconds until the air is out (you can hear it clear), then clamp it shut again.
Prepare your spot. Lay a towel on the floor where you will lie. If getting up and down from the floor is hard because of back trouble or other difficulty, you can kneel, or even sit on the toilet; just hang the bag higher and keep the hose from kinking.
Lubricate the nozzle and yourself so it goes in easily.
Prepare Yourself
Relax and breathe! Play some music, read your Bible or a book, or take advantage of some quiet time to think and pray.
What to expect. You will feel the water entering the colon and a slowly building pressure, perhaps some cramping. That means the water has met fecal matter or a gas bubble. Clamp the tube, relax, move side to side a little and massage, and it will often move along so more water can go in. If the pressure is too much, leave it clamped, remove the nozzle, release on the toilet, then go back and take the next bag. It is usually easier the second time, and easier still after a few days. It is not uncommon for only water to come back the first time or two; after a couple, you should start to see water mixed with fecal matter as things loosen.
Taking the High Enema
The water enters the rectum and fills the descending colon on your left side first, then crosses under the ribs and goes down the ascending colon on your right. Simplified diagram drawn for H.E.A.L.
1. Start on your LEFT side. Always begin an enema lying on your left side. From the rectum the colon runs up your left side, crosses your body under the ribs, and comes down your right side to where the small intestine joins it. Starting on the left lets the water flow along that path.
2. Insert gently. Slide the nozzle straight in, usually an inch or two (the kit’s instructions will say).
3. Let the water flow. Open the clamp. If it doesn’t flow well, check the hose for kinks and adjust the nozzle so it isn’t pressed against the wall of the rectum.
4. Massage your abdomen gently but firmly as the water flows in. It helps break up and release waste and lets trapped air move.
5. Roll with it. When about a third of the bag is in, turn onto your back. After another third, turn onto your right side. By then the water has traveled through most of the colon. Sometimes you can add more warm water to the bag and continue until you feel full.
6. Wait. Learn to hold the water 10 to 15 minutes; it is washing the inside of a dirty tube. At first you may not be able to hold it that long. Your first few times, just go to the toilet when the urge is strong.
7. Move and slosh. While the water is in, roll from your left side to your back to your right side, or lie on your back, raise your hips and slosh. When you stand to go, sway your belly side to side and around. The more the water sloshes, the more sludge breaks loose. Beware of sudden urges!
8. Release. When the urge is strong or your 10 to 15 minutes are up, sit on the toilet and release. A second or third urge may follow as more water and waste work their way out. Massage the colon in a clockwise circle to help. If a gas bubble causes a sharp cramp, bend over and keep massaging until it passes.
9. Repeat. Do the enema three times at each session for a thorough cleansing.
10. Clean up. Scrub the toilet right away, before old matter dries on like cement. Empty the bag, wash the nozzle well with hot soapy water, and hang it all to dry.
Great work! You have done a great service to your body, aiding it in its constant effort to keep you clean and healthy. Keep it up with pure food and water for a healthier, more energetic life.

Dara’s Notes for the Healing Programs
How often. It depends on how well the bowels are working. Three times a week (every other day) is good. Once a day takes time, but it has its benefits: done first thing in the morning, it clears the bowels so you will likely not need to go again until the afternoon. If you do it daily, use BF&C Salve as the lubricant.
Cleansing tea for the enema water. On the Incurables Program, a tea of equal parts chaparral, Oregon grape root and red clover in distilled water makes a good cleansing high enema.
Follow with an implant. After the high enema, put in a small amount to be held and absorbed. Soothing: 8 ounces of aloe vera gel with 8 ounces of distilled water. Detoxifying: 2 ounces of wheatgrass juice with 16 ounces of distilled water. Anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal: 1 to 2 cloves of garlic blended into 8 ounces of raw apple cider vinegar and 8 ounces of distilled water; an excellent healing aid, but it can be very intense. Red clover tea for blood cleansing and Echinacea root tea for the immune system also make good implants.
The Skullcap and Catnip Liver Dump
A really good herbal mix for getting the liver to release. Put 1 rounded tablespoon of skullcap and 1 rounded tablespoon of catnip in a 32-ounce jar, fill it with boiling distilled water, set a saucer or loose lid on top, and leave it in the bathroom overnight. In the morning, strain it into your final enema bag of water: a small strainer that fits over the mouth of the enema bag works perfectly, or strain it into another glass first and then add it to the bag.
Hold it until the need to let it out is clear. It normally takes effect in 5 to 10 minutes, and the liver will release a good amount of toxic waste, so stay close to the bathroom. A wonderful way to start the day with a cleared-out liver.
I find it better than a coffee enema: it gets the liver to release without stressing the endocrine system with too much stimulation from the caffeine.
Use distilled water for all enemas, implants and teas.
When Not to Do an Enema
Don’t do an enema with severe or sudden belly pain, a fever with a hard, tender belly, rectal bleeding you can’t explain, or soon after bowel or rectal surgery without your doctor. If the bowels have not moved for several days and you are vomiting or the belly is swelling, get medical help. Stop if you feel faint or dizzy. For babies and young children, see Enema for an Infant or Young Child; they need much smaller amounts.
One of the Best Dr. Christopher Articles on understanding the winter flu season!
Atchoo!! You sneeze and everyone around you thinks you have a cold. “Are you ‘catching’ cold?” they ask. The reply is usually, “Oh yes, I feel awful,” or “everyone in the room got a cold yesterday from so-and-so.” Well, a sneeze is the body’s reaction to foreign matter in the nose. If you can’t sneeze once in a while in order to discharge the foreign matter from the nasal passage, then you might as well forget having a nose as a safety valve.
You might wonder when we are going to get to the formulas to cure the cold. Well, dear friends, there is no cure for the common cold, according to current medical beliefs. Of course, they are absolutely right. There is no cure for the average elimination, either. These must take place to clean the body.
You see, when you are following the program of the three-day cleanse (once a month, at least) and the mucusless diet, there is no doubt that what you are experiencing as a “cold” is no more or no less than an elimination of toxins from the human body.
We believe that all “colds” stem from the basic cause that all other diseases stem from: MALNUTRITION.
The common cold is usually referred to as “a general inflammation of the mucus membranes of the respiratory passages caused by a variety of viruses.” Most people contact the cold “virus” about 2 or 3 times in one year.
The main reason for a cold is toxic waste matter in the body which cannot readily be eliminated. You have all heard of the cure for the common cold, ascorbic acid, or Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is one of the great cell cleansers of the body.
Of course it will clear the toxins from the body just as fast as you can say “Jack Toxic,” but it is by no means the cure itself. If you ever need to take an inorganic form of Vitamin C, take it with rose hips, acerola, fresh orange juice, or some other source of fresh Vitamin C, to raise the vibration of the straight ascorbic acid.
Causes of Colds in Winter
Heavier food–equals more waste in body (more grains that people will eat in cold weather).
Less exercise–(skiers and winter runners exempt) more waste retention because of less circulation in body.
Stuffy house air–less O2, less waste carried away by cells in body.
Cold causes pores of bodies to close thus eliminating free flow of toxins out through the pores.
Cough and Sore Throat
Sore throat is by no means pleasant. The causes are varied. The tonsils may be swollen from a clogged lymphatic system, or the throat can be sore and irritated from coughing.
What we need here is instant relief from pain and something to soothe and heal the throat. For the serious sufferer who wants very quick relief, cayenne pepper taken in juice or water will bring great results. The stimulating effects of the cayenne will increase the circulation in the throat area, minimizing the pain.
Jethro Kloss, the self-educated healer and author of Back to Eden, states that pain results from poor circulation in an area of the body. Warm ginger tea is an excellent remedy for pain of sore throat.
A hot fomentation of mullein and lobelia over the throat can also speed healing. It, too, increases circulation.
The soothing demulcent such as slippery elm and marshmallow root tea can lessen throat irritation.
Mullein is another valuable remedy. Sage tea has been used for centuries for colds and sore throats.
A few drops of the liquid antiseptic formula, consisting: Of Oak Bark, Golden Seal, Capsicum, Comfrey, Garlic, and Myrrh, can be dropped into the throat. This is one of our most wonderful formulas for the use on cuts and wounds. We have found that it also obliterates the irritation of sore throat for several hours. Because it is such a powerful remedy the taste is also very powerful. It needs to be used very sparingly.
Licorice root has been used in commercial preparations for several centuries. The 18th century herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, mentions it as a soothing tea for hoarseness and cough. It also helps loosen bronchial and pulmonary congestion. The mild laxative effect that licorice root possesses makes it a wonderful remedy for colds and flu because it keeps the bowels open and satisfies the appetite for food.
Eating should be discontinued during the period of healing from a cold or flu.
We recommend going off all food and drinking plenty of red raspberry leaf tea at the first sign of cold or flu. My son, David, did this one time and after one day, he started feeling much better, so he and his wife went out to dinner to celebrate by having a regular meal. Well, this overworked his digestive system and his influenza symptoms came back. The second time wasn’t so easy to feel better soon. It took several days and several courses of our Anti-Plague remedy to cure him. The curious thing about Anti-Plague remedy is this; some people can’t stand the taste of it while others maintain that it tastes as good as high quality salad dressing. David is one of those people in the first category.
Respiratory Nasal Congestion
Mucus in the body usually takes the nearest route to the outside. The stuffiness in the head, nose and chest area is the result of mucus plugging up the nasal passages in an effort to be eliminated quickly. If you are uncomfortable in this area, a nose ointment, made from peppermint and spearmint oils in a base of petroleum jelly to prevent burning, can allow you to breathe easier.
Two formulas which provide relief in breathing
The General Lung Tonic (marshmallow, comfrey, mullein, chickweed, and lobelia) or;
The Allergies & Hay Fever Formula (Brigham tea, marshmallow root, golden seal root, chaparral, burdock root, parsley root, lobelia and cayenne)
When these formulas are not on hand, you can make a tea of golden seal root (1/4 teaspoon to a cup of water) which can be inhaled into the nose to disinfect and cleanse the area.
We have even used the old formula of sea salt water inhaled into the nose to cleanse this area. This may be slightly uncomfortable at first but is not harmful and will do the job of “housecleaning” within a few minutes.
Snuff
A simple powdered herbal snuff can be prepared by combining a few simple ingredients.
Since the middle ages, bayberry has been used as a traditional snuff.
Other ingredients can be added to this base. Garlic, a pinch of cayenne, golden seal, or lobelia may be some that you would like to experiment with.
After combining the desired powders, take a small pinch of snuff and inhale it into the nostril, holding the other nostril shut.
In some persons we have seen a wave of sneezing with accompanying nasal discharge.
At one of our recent seminars we demonstrated to the class the preparation and use of herbal snuffs. One gentleman tried it and was so excited at the results that he loudly exclaimed, “Hey, I can breathe easily again after ten years of nasal blockage!”
During the time of a cold, an electric vaporizer or a simple vaporizer made by letting a pan of water steam on the stove should be used to introduce moisture into the air. Some oil of eucalyptus or eucalyptus tea leaves in the water puts eucalyptus fumes in the air and aid in opening up stopped nasal passages.
The headache that often accompanies a cold will be greatly relieved by keeping the nasal passages and the bowels open.
The migraine-type headache that people often experience is due to the impaction of the transverse colon.
Headache can often be alleviated by taking some tincture of wild lettuce and valerian or nervine herbs for pain.
Dr. Shook, gave us a time-tested remedy for colds, influenza and fevers:
This is equal parts of elder flowers and peppermint combined as a tea and taken very warm.
This formula should never be forgotten because it will work wonders.
Dr. Shook has stated that more lives are lost for want of a simple remedy through influenza.
Elder flowers and peppermint will break a fever so a person could sweat out toxins within about one hour. Children are especially responsive to this remedy.
We have several herbal formulas that are blessings during cold or flu.
Garlic Paste to the Feet; this procedure can save a life by quickly clearing the lungs of congestion.
The Infection Formula (composed of Plantain, Black Walnut, Golden Seal Root, Bugle Weed, Marshmallow Root, and Lobelia) is great for the cleansing of the lymph system as well as purifying the blood and fighting infection.
The Herbal Antibiotic: Garlic, Dandelion Rt. Goldenseal Rt., Ginger Rt., Horseradish, and Cayenne, is a proven germ fighter, clearing even the worst symptoms from the system.
Winter is known as the cold and flu season. It needn’t be. The dangers of the flu shots such as swine flu shots and other insipid immunizations are great. Some of the older folks received these and serious consequences resulted.
Rafinesque, an early botanic physician, once said: “There are several modes of effecting cures by equivalent remedies; but vegetable substances afford the mildest, most efficacious and most congenial to the human frame.”
Pinworms, tapeworms, and roundworms are parasites existing in the intestinal tract. The three most common types of worms found in the body are: the thread or seat worms (Oxyurix vermicularis), the roundworm (Ascares lumbricoides–lumbrici), and the tapeworm (Taeince-taenia solium, Bothriocephalus latus). There are other less-common worm types that enter the body, such as hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenal, Nectar Americanus) and those of unclean pork (Trichinella spiralis), which thrive upon various conditions of filth and degeneration.
Symptoms Restlessness at night, picking the nose, gritting the teeth, itching at anus, dry cough, etc. Worms sometimes cause spasms, fits or convulsions.
Cause Poor diet, poor hygiene, and constipation are usually the problem. Worms are found when the stomach is deranged from eating improper foods. Worms are the effect. The cause of the worms is improper diet–the lack of wholesome foods (do not use processed or refined foods) and heavy mucus and starchy food intake. To work on the effect and rid the body of worms is like killing the flies and leaving the garbage–which has attracted them–in the same foul condition.

Here is one of the most effective Parasite Cleanses. I’ve used this one for years and found it to be very effective. It was put together by Hulda Clark. The Schedule and amounts she suggests to use are on the attached file.
The ability, staying power to continue on my current healing journey has been one long learning curve. I’ve learned to allow myself to relax. I’ve learned to trust myself to continue to choose well. I don’t have to be perfect only consistently moving forward. Growing into the ability to be consistently joyful knowing I deserve and am worthy of all the goodness. The need to sabotage my life is over. I can and will do this thing. I’m learning to embrace each day with all it brings. Slipping out of site behind all those layers of emotional padding is no longer where I want to be. I’m ready to take my place in the sun.
I’ve been on my current journey since the last week of August 2017, a little more than eighteen months. During the first six months I strictly water fasted three to five days each week, on the days I did consume food I kept my carbs intake to less than 15 carbs a day. The weight loss during the first six months was an amazing 140 pounds. As the weight dropped I was better able to move around but did not add any daily exercise program. Doing a strong exercise program while water fasting was beyond me at the time.
In February 2018, six months into my journey, the stress of water fasting was beginning to take an emotional toll. Food is such a big part of our lives, an enjoyable part. I missed eating. My water fasting was cut to 2 or 3 days a week which, of course, slowed my weight loss considerably. Eight months later my weight loss was at 200 pounds.
In February 2019 I began a daily exercise program. Using my treadmill to build endurance and muscle. I’ve been maintaining at 225 lbs. off since the first of the year. As of today I have decided to do a stronger program again, a push to reach my goal. Not sure where that will be yet but I feel this rest period is done. I want to be at or close to my goal by the time we take our cruise in October. I can do this!! So onward and downward.
The past three weeks have taught me all I never wanted to know about foot pain. Dealing with a case of Plantar fasciitis I have had to learn quickly what works and what will not provide relief.
The most effective way I have found to relieve the intense pain has been using hydrotherapy along with stretching exercises. I quickly discovered the hot and cold changes, which increase circulation, have the ability to all but end even the worse throbbing in my foot. The relaxing effect of the circulation on the Plantar fascia tendon allowed for a more effective stretch with much less discomfort.
My daily program began with a new pair of supportive shoes. First thing each morning I applied a BF&C Salve Pack to the bottom of my foot and another one around my ankle. The packs are held in place with the Press N Seal wrap and my sock. With the pack in place and my shoes on walking was much easier.
My herbal therapy program:
1 tsp BF&C extract in cup of hot water 3 times a day. The BF&C Formulas and Salves have the nutrients to strengthen and repair the damaged tendon.
1 oz Echinacea once a day for 4 days each week.
Did an ELF; Flushed my liver one day each week.
Yes, I used the Advil as needed for the pain. The first week I had to use the maximum dose allowed. By the second week one dose a day of Advil for pain control was enough. By the third week the inflammation is nearly gone along with the pain. I am now able to do a half mile on my treadmill to stretch my legs. The rebuilding process is slow. As long as the tendon is stretched and supported there is no pain.

If you do ONLY 1 Program or use ONLY 1 Herb, it should be Garlic. In the MANY Years at the Clinic, I have seen it HEAL MANY, HURT NO ONE, and create MIRACLES! Garlic is one of the MOST POTENT and RELIABLE Herbal Healers known. It is a POWERFUL Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic. It is also Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Parasitical and has PROVEN itself to RID the Body internally and externally of any Antigen or Pathogen.
Garlic has been PROVEN in Hospitals and Laboratories worldwide to DESTROY CANCER and break up Tumors, THIN the Blood and NORMALIZE Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels. Hundreds of my Female Patients used Vaginal Garlic Implants to do EVERYTHING from HEAL Infections to ELIMINATE CANCER!
Garlic externally is an Herbal Surgeon. It’s 700+ various Sulfur Compounds will DESTROY INFECTION and, if used FULL strength, will BURN off ANYTHING in it’s way! Garlic nutritionally is a GREAT Strength-Builder and has been REVERED throughout History in numerous Cultures as a Food to INCREASE Health and Energy. It can be eaten RAW, swallowed WHOLE, chopped up and mixed with Food and put through your Juicer. Just get it in!
The BEST Garlic is the HOTTEST, and, of course, ORGANIC! If NONE is available, which is RARE, then use your HOTTEST Onions, which is Garlic’s next of kin. Consume at least 3 cloves of FRESH RAW Garlic EVERY Day.
Hydrotherapy Program:
High Enemas: You must use a High Enema 2 times a week with an implant afterwards. Use ONLY Distilled Water for the High Enema! The implant can be: 8 oz. of Aloe Vera Gel and 8 oz. of Distilled Water (soothing) or 2 oz. Wheat Grass Juice with 16 oz. of Distilled Water (Detoxifying) or 1 – 2 Cloves of Garlic blended into 8 ounces of RAW Apple Cider Vinegar and 8 oz. of Distilled Water (Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Viral and Anti-Fungal).
HOT & COLD Showers: This is the MOST EFFECTIVE way to move the Blood and create Circulation. Once DAILY, you must do a COMPLETE HOT & COLD Shower! You will start with HOT Water for 1 minute, then COLD for 1 minute. REPEAT this Routine 7 Times, so that the Shower lastS about 15 minutes.
Another time, DAILY, you can do a COMPLETE HOT & COLD Shower Routine again or a partial one, just applying the Water DIRECTLY to the AFFECTED Area. Make SURE, while you are doing BOTH HOT & COLD Showers, that you pay SPECIAL Attention to the AFFECTED Area and massage it VIGOROUSLY. If the Shower is IMPOSSIBLE, then use HOT Packs and ICE Packs.
Massage the ENTIRE Body EVERY Day with SPECIAL Emphasis on DEEP Foot Reflexology and ALL around the PROBLEM Areas. Do NOT be AFRAID to touch your SORE or SICK Parts. Put some LIFE back there. Alternate Castor Bean Oil and Olive Oil for your Massage Oils. Skin Brush with a NATURAL Bristle Skin Brush and SCRUB yourself thoroughly EVERYDAY!
Exercise: You must exercise EVERYDAY! Do whatever you can do to PUSH yourself! INCREASE the amount EVERYDAY! You should breathe hard and work up a SWEAT! 1 hour EACH Day is to be your eventual goal. If you rest, YOU RUST!
Attitude: I HIGHLY suggest for ANYONE, who has been diagnosed as “INCURABLE” or “HOPELESS” to THROW OUT that Diagnosis and start on a HEALING Program IMMEDIATELY! The “INCURABLES” Program has NO POWER, unless you put ALL of the Time and Energy, that you have into it! You must give l00%! LOVE, giving it and receiving it, is the MOST POWERFUL Cleansing and HEALING TOOL! Be RESPONSIBLE for yourself! You created this PROBLEM and you can get RID of it! NO one ever got BETTER by feeling SORRY for themselves! The Doctors were WRONG; you can get WELL! FORGIVE EVERYONE in your PAST, including ALL of the Doctors! The MAIN Function of your Body is to REPAIR and HEAL itself, so let’s get STARTED! THERE ARE NO “INCURABLE” DISEASES! GET POSITIVE RIGHT NOW! BELIEVE, START NOW!
Additional Routines:
EVERY Day strip naked and take a Sun and Air Bath for 10 to 15 minutes. EVERY Day take a walk outside in your BARE Feet and shuffle them in the Grass or Dirt, and even lie down on the Earth. Do DEEP Breathing, while you are outside; FRESH Air will HELP you to HEAL FASTER! Use ONLY NATURAL Soaps, Shampoos and Toothpastes. Do NOT use ANY Deodorants, Perfumes, Colognes, etc.! You may use PURE Herbal Essential Oils, if you want to smell BETTER. Wear ONLY Natural Fiber Clothing (i.e.-Cotton, Wool and Silk)! NO Polyester, Acrylic, Nylon or even Blends! Drink as much of the Potassium Broth as you can stand! This is a GREAT tasting addition to your Cleansing Program. It will FLUSH your system of UNWANTED Salts and Acids, while giving you a CONCENTRATED amount of Vitamins and Minerals!
Final Thoughts, a NATURAL Death:
We will ALL eventually experience a Physical Death! For ALL of us, this Time will come! By using NATURAL Healing, Herbs and my Programs, we are NOT trying to CHEAT Death; we are INCREASING the QUALITY of Life! Medical Universities tell us that the Human Body should LAST 125 Years. We are lucky today, if we make it to HALF of that! There have been MANY People, who have lived to 150 and even a FEW over 200!! Looking at this MIRACULOUS Being, that we have been BLESSED with, I know that the Ages in the Old Testament of the Bible are CORRECT! When we finally die, after living a HEALTHY NATURAL Lifestyle, what I have seen is that we go with NO PAIN, a BIG SMILE on our Face and in a Room with our LOVED ones!
