My goal in this life has been to lead by example, to provide answers that really work, and for my own life to work well. The act of walking away from a painful past provided the needed confidence to continue making the hard choices. The examples provided by my parents and the adults in my early life were consistently poor and not worth following. Time and again their selfish choices allowed badness access to us children and our home. Instead of learning about security, trust and friendship the formative years of my life were spent learning shame and fear. The emotional healing needed has come but the price has been painful and the emotional wounds heal, oh, so slowly.
In my life providence has led me one little step at a time, each step a small decision to surrender self, to trust just a little more, to acknowledge the impact of my choices on those close to me. The Father has moved me forward one tiny decision at a time. One choice at a time, His healing work has continued in my life. Turning around to view the steep rugged road we have traversed together I can see His small steps have made the upward path bearable. I am not who I was, the confusion and pain surrounding my early life has been replaced with acceptance and love, His love flows through me enriching my life as it lights up the world around us.
My life could have been so different. Small decisions that seemed so insignificant at the time in retrospect were major events for change. The most valuable advice I can share with anyone facing one of life’s big questions is to stop looking at yourself and the benefit you will gain and determine how best you can serve others with the life you have and the choice you are about to make. Tomorrow is not ours to control, the good done today is our store of joy for the unknown road ahead. True joy and happiness are ours when we finally surrender to the greatest truth ever given: The only life worth living is one given in service for others.
Heart problems can stem from many sources, too many to go into here. The important thing is to minimize medical intervention as much as possible, because the drugs given for heart problems can often cause side-effects as bad as the heart disease itself.
Heart Health Naturally
Dr. Christopher found that Hawthorne Berries, Garlic, and Wheat Germ Oil specifically strengthen the heart.
CAYENNE: FOOD FOR THE HEART by Dr. Christopher
Cayenne is one of the finest foods for the feeding of the heart and for keeping the veins and arteries in good youthful condition. It is best to begin using cayenne in small amounts and increase the volume gradually.
For example, start with 1/3 teaspoonful of cayenne in a little water three times a day.
Continue taking cayenne in these amounts for three or four days and then add another third of a teaspoonful to the original third each time it is taken.
Again after three or four days increase the amount of cayenne by another third of a teaspoonful until you can take at least a teaspoonful three times each day.
Learning to Use Cayenne
This herb is not a drug. It is merely an excellent food, high in calcium, Vitamin C, etc. Even though one senses heat and slight discomfort at first, this is due only to a stepping up of the circulation and can do no harm to the body.
The herb cayenne is a great food for the entire circulatory system because it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structures of arteries, veins, and capillaries throughout the body so that these structures regain the elasticity of youth again and blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. Cayenne rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and will heal stomach and intestinal ulcers. By equalizing blood circulation, cayenne produces natural warmth and by stimulating the peristaltic motion of the veins, arteries and intestines it aids in assimilation and elimination.
When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the heart has a harder time circulating the blood and therefore higher blood pressure is required to force the substance through the veins. Cayenne regulates and equalizes the flow of blood from the head to the feet which immediately relieves the heart and gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries and nerves. The frequency of the pulse though not increased is given more power.
Heart Attack:
Prop up the patient and pour hot cayenne tea down, (use a teaspoonful of cayenne in a cup of hot water), and have the patient drink the full cup. The attack will stop immediately. We have been called in the middle of the night so many times. A teaspoon of cayenne should bring the patient out of the heart attack. In case cayenne is not around and you have a heart attack, the dosage on black pepper can be tripled and used.
Garlic & Cholesterol
Garlic has been known for centuries to function as a natural antibiotic. It destroys the unnecessary and harmful bacteria throughout the human system. It emulsifies cholesterol and loosens it from arterial walls.
Wheat Germ for Cholesterol and Heart:
Wheat germ oil is excellent for feeding the heart and helps cut the cholesterol and smoothens its removal from the area.
Clear Hi BP Naturally
Heart Weakness:
Scullcap combined with cayenne and golden seal cannot be surpassed.
Motherwort Vies for the Honor of Being the Best Heart Tonic Known.
It calms and supports the heart and nerves, and may be used in large doses. Motherwort is beneficial as a healing tonic in recovery from debilitating fever where other tonics are inadmissible; it is a good diaphoretic.
Coronary Disease and Chocolate
In 1970, Dr. Lawrence A. Kohn, M.D., from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry conducted a survey correlating the incidence of coronary disease among older male patients with chocolate consumption in their lives. His results showed that 45 percent of 40 men tested who had coronary disease had used chocolate extensively in early life while only 18 percent of the men free of coronary troubles had the chocolate habit early in life. Another survey which he conducted at Strong Memorial Hospital showed that 55 percent of the males questioned who had coronary disease had been chocoholics in their youth (Kohn, 1970, pp. 2-3).
The fact that caffeine depletes the bodies calcium and places additional stress on the arteries, nerves, and endocrine system enables one to see caffeine in chocolate as one of the contributing factors to coronary disorders. We recommend the herbal calcium formula, the hawthorne berry syrup, and cayenne pepper plus the various herbal aids for the heart, nerves, circulation, in addition to a wholesome diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds, plus the elimination of chocolate and other stress-producing foods from the menu.
Alfalfa & Heart Disease
Alfalfa leaves are extremely rich in calcium…this accounts for the claims of herbalists and doctors concerning the benefits of using alfalfa for repairing tooth damage and strengthening the structure of the teeth. Calcium is also necessary for proper muscle function–That includes the heart muscle as well. Calcium regulates the heart rhythm. How much simpler to indulge in alfalfa early in life rather than a pacemaker in later life.
Hawthorn Berry to Build and Strengthen the Heart:
The heart is our life pump, and when it is not properly fed (with wholesome foods) it suffers malfunction (weakness and heart attacks) causing the heart failure condition that is one of the world’s greatest killers. The mucusless diet used over a period of time can rebuild a heart to a good strong condition, but if the heart, its valves, and other working parts are in a weakened condition and need quick help we use a great “heart food or tonic” to assist it back to health. This food is the hawthorn berry … This Berry, or Herb, or drug… is claimed to be a curative remedy for organic and functional heart disorders such as dyspnea, rapid and feeble heart action, hypertrophy, valvular insufficiency sufficiency, and heart oppression. Hawthorn berry extract is an aid and preservative. Recommended dosage is one half teaspoon three times in a day.
World Renown Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease:
We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong… As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact.
It Is Not Working!
These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.
Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cholesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes. Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.
Inflammation is not complicated — it is quite simply your body’s natural defense to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders. However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.
What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.
There is but one answer to quieting inflammation, and that is returning to foods closer to their natural state. To build muscle, eat more protein. Choose carbohydrates that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables. Cut down on or eliminate inflammation- causing omega-6 fats like corn and soybean oil and the processed foods that are made from them.
By eliminating inflammatory foods and adding essential nutrients from fresh unprocessed food, you will reverse years of damage in your arteries and throughout your body from consuming the typical American diet.
Several years ago we introduced the Pancreas Support Formula. Since its introduction this formula has never failed in supporting blood sugar issues. Low Blood Sugar can have frightening as well as debilitating effects on the body. As a child and on into my teens I experienced what I have called “Brown-outs”. During these events I could hear but not respond to my surroundings. Lethargy would settle in so deep that I would find myself fighting to wake up. Since adding the Pancreas Support formula these events have been all but eliminated. The formula has even prevented an event from escalating when taken at its onset. I can say from experience that the Pancreas Support formula truly supports low blood sugar issues.
The feedback provided by our members with type II diabetes has consistently showed the benefits of the Pancreas Support formula for Diabetic issues. In cases where a good food program is followed the blood sugar numbers fall rapidly, often within days, back into the normal range. Many of our members have reported after a few days to a few weeks that they no longer needed their medication. Their blood sugar levels had stabilized in the normal range.
The Pancreas Support formula is not a drug that forces a reaction on the system. This all herb formula supports the pancreas with nutrients and nutrition specifically for this, often overworked, gland. The overall effects of the Cedar Berry, the master herb in this formula, on the pancreas, are not completely understood. The understanding of each of the Father’s master herbs eludes me at times, what I do understand is that the Father has not left us without the aids needed to heal our bodies. Time and again the Cedar Berry has proven itself able to clear all types of blood sugar issues from the system without any ill effects.
Natural food should be eaten in moderation and in simplicity.
The fruits are especially good for cleansing the system after your night’s fast during sleep and it will satisfy the need and craving for sweetness.
The green herbs of the garden, used fresh and tender in salads and chewed well, will build strength and vitality into the body tissues.
The bulbs, roots, and starches in grains will provide fire and heat for the body, but these should be eaten only as needed for the more strenuous physical labors.
The sprouted seeds are nourishing tonics to restore the body constitution and in resisting ill health.
The nuts of the trees will provide the nutrient “meat” (protein) for man and will season other foods.
The culinary herbs will provide variety, flavor, and seasoning as nutritional agents.
In the whole of your daily activities, you must achieve a varied and harmoniously-blended whole:
Fresh Air
Sunshine
Exercise
Work Play
Song
Prayer
Reading
Meditation
Recreation
WHAT IS CONSTIPATION?
More people have died of MALNUTRITION, SUFFOCATION, and CONSTIPATION than from all the wars, automobile accidents, earthquakes and fires to date. Yet, you seldom hear of it, and the poor, suffocating and victimized ORGAN that gives out is generally given the official blame.
When we speak of constipation, we usually think of only the lower bowel area, but this is only a small part of it.
The entire body is composed of flexible systems of tubing, much like that of the intestines. It is of varied sizes, some of which are even smaller than a hair.
The Great Planner equipped the body structure with these rubber-like pipes of all kinds and sizes, from the largest intestine (which can expand to a terrific size) down to the arteries, veins, and minute capillaries; and though the capillaries are smaller than hairs, they are perfectly constructed and pliable; but when they are not properly provided and cared for, they age like an old rubber hose and eventually break at the weak spots.
This is the case in varicosity, as the taut life-line gets clogged up like lime inside the household plumbing. At times the mucoid matter forms a hard lining in the bowel so that the peristaltic action ceases, and this solid shield inhibits peristaltic action upon the feces materials.
We have seen this mucous lining taken from patients that appeared like hard, black plastic, shaped to the curvature of the colon walls. And, as you progress in this program, do not be surprised to see some of these linings coming from your body also.
Usually a person takes little notice of constipation and, instead of getting at the real cause, just starts using laxatives, enemas, bulk and volume remedies to break a passage through for temporary relief.
When constipation goes throughout the entire body, and when it becomes extra bad and congested in one area, the discomfiture will grow until a peak of pain is reached, and this is really the nature of what we term “disease.”
Do not allow yourself to become confused with thousands of seemingly-sophisticated medicinal terms; just remember that there is only one disease, and that is systemal constipation.
This mucus constipation will back up not only in the arterial structure, but also into the cells and tissues; and it can become so severe that it will eventually bring the entire system to a standstill.
Where does all of this mucus, sludge, and waste come from? It is from those things that we eat with our eyes and taste-buds, from what we put into the body and incorrectly call “food”.
To make the change from an imperfect, mucus-filled body to one of health, the taste buds will be a big factor with many, while with others, it will be fear.
We have heard persons say, “Why, I enjoy the type of food I am used to, and I would rather risk ill health than change.” Well, at that moment, they have made the choice of living to eat, instead of eating to live.
The average individual has grown up on the “great American diet” of meat, potatoes, and gravy, and is naturally prone to panic at the very thought of missing a meal–let alone fasting a few days, and he is deathly afraid that he will starve to death.
The truth is that very few persons ever starve to death, but die first from fear and panic. There are persons who have gone over a hundred days without food and over two weeks without water and lived, so missing a few meals will be most beneficial in a positive approach.
Anything that is worthwhile cannot be had without some sacrifice, and though abstinence from food or from indulgence in over-eating may seem like a sacrifice and a burden, the supposed “sacrifice” will be realized as a blessing instead after the goal has been reached.
Sadly, my story is far too familiar. When womanhood began pouring out of me during my fifth grade year it marked the beginning of a monthly cycle of misery. On that fateful day my parents rushed to my school with a change of clothes and the female products necessary to rescue me from the girl’s bathroom. Release from the cycle of pain would not be so easily secured. Over the next twenty-five years I normally kept a supply of over the counter female remedies in my purse at all times. The onset and intensity of my menstrual pain was too unbearable for even a quick trip to the corner store once my cycle began.
In my late twenties the development of uterine fibroids intensified an already intolerable state of things. The fibroids caused my cycles to increase in volume and duration. A prescription for birth control pills provided some normalcy and relief but these were not the healing answers I so badly needed. My body continued to show serious signs of hormonal imbalance. During routine salon visit for a wash and cut in 1996, my stylist informed me she felt I had abnormal hair loss. She had to be right; the apparent hair loss was visible every time I ran a brush through my hair.
Browsing through the herbal remedies at my local health food store I came across a jar of Progesterone Cream, a hormonal support product made from Wild Yam. I began rubbing a small amount into my skin morning and evening. Within a couple of weeks my hair stopped falling out and my next cycle was nearly normal. The wild yam continued to prove itself and within a few months the heavy bleeding and painful cycles had greatly subsided.
Two years later in 1998, I discovered the power of herbal extracts and the Female Formula which contained a list of balancing herbs used by women for hundreds of years. The Female Formula brought an end to Twenty Five years of monthly misery.
What to expect using the Female Formula
Working with hundreds of women over the past 15 years a pattern has emerged in the way the Female Formula generally affects the cycles over the first three months of use. Three months is the average time needed to normalize a hormonally unbalanced system. It is not uncommon to skip a cycle during the first full month of using the Female Formula. The second month the cycle will resume with less hormonal issues. Most women experience greatly improved to normal cycles by the third month.
The Ex-Mens Formula is an excellent aid and can be used with great results during a cycle where there is excessive bleeding. During my heavy bleeding I found it slowed down my flow in a matter of a few hours. This formula can provide additional support while the fibroids are clearing and the system is balancing.
Here is a tried and true way to stop the misery quickly without drugs.
-1/2 tsp lobelia is 4 ounces water
15 min later
-1/2 tbsp crampbark
15 min later
-1 tsp antispasmodic
15 min later
-1/2 tbsp crampbark
Alternate between crampbark and antispasmodic every 15 min . On the hour throw in lobelia.
Pain will eventually subside, it can take longer to subside when you pain level is already super high. As soon as you feel discomfort begin the herbal supports and they are often very quick and effective.
Life is full of surprises, some good, others not so great. Living well is the ability to pass through today and into tomorrow with dignity and grace. Ensuring an excellent tomorrow depends on how well we embrace today’s revealed lessons. Life is all about choices, choosing to be other focused; choosing to accept the result of a poor choice; choosing to make better choices as past errors in judgment gifts us with their lessons.
The understanding of life shifts as experience expands the mind repainting the narrow misconceptions of childhood with the broader strokes of maturity. Each of us begins life completely self-focused, unable to see beyond our own needs and feelings. The value of others is taught by experiences. Each interaction writes deeply into the softness of a child. Every look, action and tone is soaked up by the little sponges.
The lack of maturity along with the self-focused slant to a child’s personality makes one prone to misinterpret experiences. Evaluating the values leaned as a child, making sure they still make sense is difficult. Often it is not until our life ceases to work; when we are finally forced to ask the question that we discover all the false assumptions we accepted as truth when but a child.
Forgiving past errors in judgment along with the downright bad choices can be a slow process. Learning to live life with eyes wide open is a part of the healing process. A willingness to see the hard things is a sign of maturity.
Understanding that living well requires maturity to view life through the eyes of love, allowing growth will take time and mistakes are only chances to grow. Choosing to stay other focused knowing our choices affect for good or evil all those within our sphere of influence.
Every year my husband and I seem to do Thanksgiving a bit different. Growing up it was all about the food, something I take no joy in and find hard to justify. Don’t get me wrong I love good food, what I don’t love is too much at one time. My idea of a great meal is one scrumptious dish prepared to perfection and enjoyed slowly. Each year we decide what delectable treat will be our Thanksgiving meal, buy all the ingredients and enjoy our own company preparing the dish.
The second part of the holiday is the weekend project. Four whole days to ourselves to fill in any way we please, this alone is heaven. Several years ago we spent the entire holiday weekend redecoration our movie room. My husband is a puzzle lover so we decided to paint the walls with huge puzzle pieces. It actually turned out quite well. Over the past 32 years my idea of the perfect day has not changed much. Perfection is being wrapped up in a warm cozy blanket with the one who has filled my life with every good thing since the day we feel in step together and oh yes, good food and a good book.
Impotency also known as Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is becoming a more common occurrence in the younger middle aged man. There are many good natural supports proven able to rebuild the testosterone levels. What has been missing from the healing mix is something to help clear the blockage and support circulation into the affected area.
A confession is important at this point, after 32 years with my husband the thought of giving up or even cutting back on the “good stuff” did not sit well with me. The first time the “toys” failed to work as they always had motivated me to look for answers in a way few things would. The Male formula and Male Booster were added to his morning Superfood drink. Taking several doses of herbs daily has never been a strong point for my husband. The once a day dosing of the Male formulas proved to be enough.
Over the years I have counseled several men dealing with impotency issues. The ones who recovered well not only supported their systems with the herbal aids to rebuild but also increased their physical activities and cleaned up their food programs. An understanding that an enlarged prostate can also play a part in a lack of circulation suggested we add the M&L Salve to the basic program for most men. This has proven to be very beneficial as the salve opens the area up, clearing blockage and allowing good circulation.
A good basic program for Impotency for most men would be to consume 1 tsp. Male formula 2 or 3 times a day. Topically apply the M&L Salve over the male member and sac each night for at least a week. Apply a good amount to the body and a piece of flannel material wrapped around the male members. The use of briefs will keep the “pack” in place throughout the night. This topical application can be continue longer if needed. For further support the Glands formula (Same mix as the M&L Salve) can be taken as a tea as well three times a day.
The Male Boost can be added, if needed, for additional support raising Testosterone levels. The Male Boost is a low dose formula; begin using ¼ tsp only 2 times a day. One of the members working to build his testosterone levels discovered the Male Boost formula played with this high blood pressure issues. He decided the drop in his energy levels were too severe to completely discontinue use of the formula. He found a 10 drop dose would provide the hormonal support without affecting his blood pressure. Several men using the formula with no blood pressure issues have reported using as much as ½ tsp 2 or 3 times a day without issue.
Our regular Male formula has not been known to affect the blood pressure. Those just beginning a healing program may want to start with only the Male formula and add the Male boost if symptoms suggest the need for additional support.
This program cleared up my husband’s issues and the feedback I have received has been very positive each time I have suggested these herbal supports to HEAL’s membership.
The Holiday season is upon us, Thanksgiving is only weeks away with all the family drama, rich food and pretty much everything needed to overtax and stress our nerves and digestive systems. Learning how to enjoy ourselves without paying an overly high price for the privilege is vital to living well. Life’s dramas are not to be avoided but embraced and learned from.
Avoid overeating, filling the stomach until uncomfortable. Overeating will place a heavy burden on the digestive systems causing frayed nerves and short tempers.
Eating continually throughout the day prevents the digestive process from completing well. Allow at least 5 hours between meals. Coming to the table with a healthy appetite ensures better digestion and more enjoyment of the food eaten.
Drinking more than a few ounces of water or juice with a meal will dilute the digestive juices inhibiting suitable absorption of the nutrients consumed.
Support herbs to have on hand for the holiday emergencies would be:
Digestive Tonic: for any upset in the upper digestion; Gas, Bloating, Upset Tummy ect…
Cayenne: This herb moves the blood; reach for it first for Heart attack, Stroke, any bleeding on the outside of the body due to cuts or scrapes.
Lobelia: Breathing issues, Charlie horses, pulled muscles,
LBF #2: Vomiting or Diarrhea,
Digestive Tonic & LP formula: Gallbladder Attack
Knowing how to deal with life’s little emergencies allows the good times to be even better. No sad trips to the emergency room will occur when the proper use of these herbal supports are understood.
Cold weather can be a trial for those with poor circulation. Spending the cold months of winter in a constant shiver unable to maintain the body warmth needed for comfort is no way to live. Cayenne is the answer for anyone dreading the cold. Cayenne moves blood increasing circulation which contributes to an increase in body heat. Begin by adding 5 to 10 drops of cayenne tincture to any cup of tea or glass of juice. Continue increasing the number of drops until you are able to add a teaspoon of cayenne tincture to a glass of tea or juice. Try doing this daily or even twice a day for better circulation. The warm hands and feet good circulation provides will more than make up for the discomfort of learning to use cayenne
