Interestingly the [Red Raspberry] berries are said to provide many of the medicinal factors of the leaves. We have been encouraged by midwives to eat freely of the berries, if possible, for the same good effect during pregnancy–a lovely medicine!
Since some people never get used to the taste of the tea a good way to use the leaves is to make a green drink. Our “pregnancy green drink”, to which we have grown so accustomed that we can hardly imagine pregnancy without it.
Directions for Making the Pregnancy Green Drink
It is made thus, to a cup or more of pineapple juice in a blender container, add a handful of Red Raspberry leaves, a handful of comfrey leaves and a few alfalfa leaves. Blend until the fibers of the leaves are broken down and drink immediately. You can add a couple of ice cubes or a little cold water if you want an icy or thinner drink.
Red Raspberry is a great agent for cleansing a canker condition of the mucous membranes in the alimentary tract, leaving the tissue toned.
If an expectant mother is suffering from morning sickness, she can eat Alfalfa sprouts in her diet, until the condition is under control. 
Kelp and Toxemia: Kelp, as might be expected, is also of use in the female organs. It will tone up a weak uterus and help produce a healthier baby, as the balanced minerals will be supplied fully with the use of Kelp. Some women who had lost babies in childbirth and others who had not been able to carry babies were helped by the use of Kelp by Dr. Powell’s prescription of Kelp to carry healthy baby’s full term. Especially when toxemia threatens during the last stages of the pregnancy, Kelp, being a carrier of important minerals and a toner and an antiseptic, can help clear up an otherwise dangerous condition.
Many women experience indigestion and heartburn, and sometimes gas, during pregnancy. This may be caused by the stomach having less room to do its work, nervous tension which inhibits good digestion, too many stomach acids, or a relaxed stomach, which allows foods to back up.
Most Natural Practitioners warn their patients that it is normal to feel a bit under the weather during the first few days of any good detox program. Detoxing the body does not have to be problematic if handled correctly. A basic understanding of the cleansing process will prevent or quickly end any toxic issues.
Anyone who has ever experienced hemorrhoids can attest to the long lasting pain and discomfort. Over the years I have discovered a few things that work well and those that do not. The best advice I can offer is to deal with it early. Don’t wait for piles to form or the pain to drive you on for answers. Deal with this issue at the first sign of discomfort.
Today is day four of my juice fast. Yes, I decided to do it again this week. I always feel so much better after a few days off food. It is lunch time here at HEAL and Connie has cooked up a great smelling meal. I enjoy the smell while reminding myself that food will still be there when I am ready to eat again. Last night I did an ELF (Big Liver Flush) instead of going to prayer meeting. I am thinking of doing another one tonight.
