Category: Skin, Wounds & First Aid

Often the little irritations that crop up in our bodies can be quickly cleared.  Today I want to address several of these issues along with their herbal supports.

Eye Problems: Tired irritated eyes; Allergy eyes; Tearing of the eyes; and Floaters in the eyes;

Flushing the eyes with the several drops of the Eyebright formula added to an eyecup with distilled water is a quick fix to any sudden irritation of the eyes.

Throat Problems: Sore Throat; Loss of Voice; Strained vocal cords; Enlarged or Swollen lymph nodes

Issues arising around the throat and neck can be quickly cleared with a cup or two of The Herbal Antibiotic and an Ice Poultice to the throat.  Detailed instructions are available on the Infection Information sheet. The Ice Poultice is also a preventive aid for speakers who tend to over use their voices.  The application can be applied before an event to shore up the voice.

Skin Problems:  Itchy Rash; Hives; Dry chapped skin;

A quick ELF (Liver Flush) will effectively clear most acute skin issues.  Treating the symptoms by using creams on the skin may provide a bit of relief but will fail to clear the cause behind the rash or outbreak.  When the liver becomes backed-up or congested the body will attempt to eliminate toxins through the skin instead of through the normal channels.  The skin cannot easily handle the toxic waste and breaks down rapidly resulting in rashes, blisters, or the like.  Flushing the liver will quickly clear the back-up allowing the toxic waste to clear from the system through proper channels.  The BF&C Salve can then be used to quickly heal the affected skin.

Stiff Neck & Muscles:  Headache due to tight muscles; Muscle spasms; Over used crampy muscles;

The M&L Salve is an excellent topical muscle relaxant.  This salve will relax and release even the worse spastic muscle issues.  In sever issues using a bit of the Anti-Spasmodic Extract orally along with the M&L rubbed into the affected area works wonders in minutes.

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!

And as if I don’t know better (she who always wears a hat in the sun) ended up surfing without a hat and got a bad sunburn on my forehead – I immediately applied the BFC with some lavendar oil (mostly for the smell) and it relieved the pain and I did not peel.  I applied it for two days.

Love it!!!

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.

Healing of these issues is often achieved quickly within 24 to 48 hours of doing an effective ELF (Emergency Liver Flush) or The Amazing Liver Flush (done with the Epsom salt).  The Liver is cleared, the waste now being directed out through the bowels, the skin is free to clear and heal.  The BF&C Salve is now useful as an aid in healing the skin.  The herbal properties found in the BF&C formula aid in knitting the skin back together.  The formula is often able to prevent any scaring from occurring.

Cysts & Boils: The other skin or flesh issue we need to address is that of Cysts and boils, these are often inflamed and painful refilling with foul smelling puss over and over.  Dr Christopher explains that Cysts, boils and moles occur because of potassium deficiency:  The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them.

 For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium.

Cysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on.

Burdock Root: Several years ago I discovered one of the best herbal supports for clearing boils, and quickly too.  For some reason I had a breakout of boils on the back of my leg.  I’m very sensitive to pork and will develop boils with only a hint of pork grease in my food.  Somehow this must have happen.  For several weeks I played around with blood purifying options without success.  I came across a statement in Christopher’s writing that Burdock Root will “quickly” clear boils.  I decided to give it a try. I used only one teaspoon full a day of the dried root in a cup of boiling water.  I began on Tuesday and by Friday the boils were gone, completely gone.  I was impressed so decided to continue to use the Burdock one dose each morning for the next few months.  The herb proved beneficial for my kidneys and was an excellent blood purifier.  Members can read more about the benefits of Burdock at “ladyofherbs.com”

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

Over the course of the past 6 months or so, I found that using the BBB Mole Salve to naturally remove a rather sizable mole located just above the ear has worked quite well. All that remains is barely some scar tissue and no more large mole! This too continues to heal more and more every day.

More importantly, I found that the process of breaking down the mole tissue, and healing the area was greatly accelerated by using another healing remedy, in conjunction with the Salve. I use a product called Cellfood (which can be found at www.cellfood.com).

Cellfood, in and of itself, has many uses, as it gives the body an oxygen supplement  to heal, inside and out (You can drink it with water as directed as well… I do.). The addition of this to the treatment had amazing results! The Cellfood (full strength – a few drops on a Q-tip) applied, 2x per day, followed (a few minutes later when dry) by the Salve to coat the area, seems to do the job quite well. I noticed that without the Cellfood, the Salve alone on such a large mole might take months or even years to work, at the speed it was progressing. Adding the Cellfood to the treatment caused the process of breaking down and healing the area to be greatly speeded up.

As well, trying to use the Cellfood alone, caused too much drying of the skin and actually slowed the healing progress. Applying the Cellfood, waiting a few minutes, then applying the Salve to maintain the moisture, both in the morning and at night, has worked quickly and without pain, discomfort or even surgery as recommended by conventional doctors. A fantastic combination…(Another Happy Member!!)
