There are three methods to use when cleansing the liver.  They are the “Mild Liver Flush”;  The “ELF” or Strong Liver Flush; and the Liver Flushing  Teas and Tinctures.  When clearing any conditions in the body no matter how mild or serious the best restorative action will be derived from using a combination of all three.

1) The Mild Liver Flush

This flush is done for one week to be followed by a week of Kidney Flushing.  These two weeks of cleansing work are to be repeated over and again until the issues have been cleared from the system.  This procedure will enable the liver to slowly clear toxic waste from the system.

Not all have the luxury of the time needed to gently cleanse disease from the body.

There are those with serious life threating conditions that have chosen to continue to daily flush the liver over several weeks with only very good results.  My belief has always been that each of us will be lead to follow our own road; our healing journeys are our own.  The only one who can truly walk the entire road with me is the one who knows me best and loves me most.  Spending time each day with the Father has enabled me to better follow where he would lead.  Using good common sense along with the inner wisdom that comes from above will enable even those in the direst of circumstances the best outcome.

The Mild Liver Flush is to be done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.  Use 8 oz of either Orange or Apple juice.  Combine with 8 oz of distilled water, 1 clove of freshly peeled garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a chunk of ginger about the size of your thumb.  Add all items into the blender liquefy and drink. Follow with a couple ounces of fresh juice to rinse the mouth.

Each day increase the Olive Oil and garlic until you are using 4 tablespoons olive oil and 4 large cloves of garlic.  Increase the ginger as needed to prevent nausea.

Fifteen minutes after consuming the liver flush drink cleanse your system by drinking two cups Detox Tea along with ½ tsp each LP Formula and Detox formula.  Combining the ½ tsp dose with a shot of the detox tea will better enable one to get these two horrid tasting formulas down.  Do not combine the formulas into one shot cup.  They are best taken separately at least five minutes apart.

2)Full Strength Liver Flush

This flush, we call it an ELF, short for Emergency Liver Flush, should be done once or twice a week if you are ill.  In serious cases it may be done 3 to 5 days in a row.  On the days this flush is not done do the mild liver flush.  Click here for detailed directions

3)Liver Flush Support in a Tincture

The Third method for flushing the liver is the use of the herbal support known as the LP (Liver Parasite) Formula.  When Liver flushing the LP Formula should be used ½ tsp three times a day.  For serious issues the dose can be doubled and taken every 3 hours or 5 times a day.

Formula: Milk Thistle seed, Dandelion root , Oregon Grape root, Gentian root , Wormwood leaf , Mojave Chaparral herb , Black Walnut Leaf , Ginger rhizome , Garlic bulb and Fennel seed ,extracted in grain alcohol .

Therapeutic Action:  The herbs in this formula are famous for their ability to stimulate, cleanse and protect the liver and gall bladder and rid the body of parasites.

Milk Thistle has certain chemicals not only bind to and coat liver cells. These phyto-chemicals not only heal previous liver damage but also protect the liver from future damage. Oregon Grape Root Bark, Gentian Root, Wormwood Leaves and Dandelion Root are all classic bitter liver tonic herbs. These herbs not only stimulate digestion but also stimulate the liver to excrete more bile which in turn cleans both the liver and gall bladder. If you have been exposed to any toxic substances, had constipation, eaten large amounts of animal food or drink alcohol or other harmful beverages this formula is for you. It is also beneficial if you have had high cholesterol, blood fats or any family history of liver or gall bladder problems. Many believe that anyone who has cancer or any immune dysfunction had a weak congested liver to begin with. Even if a person has had their gall bladder removed these herbs will still be effective to clean the liver and bile ducts. The Black Walnut hulls, Wormwood and Garlic are strong ANTI-PARASITICAL plants. Use if parasites are suspected, or if there has been a history of bowel problems, constipation, eating of animal products, prolonged illness, disease or degeneration.

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

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

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

Basic Infection Program:

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

Moderate Infection Program:

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

Intense Infection Program:

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

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

See Infection Poultice for topical or ear infection issues.

Varicose Veins are a painful condition caused by the leaching of calcium from the veins and flesh.  This occurs when sugars, pastries, soft and alcoholic beverages, breads, candies, etc. are used.  Excess pull of calcium can also occur during pregnancy as nature gives the developing baby the needed nutrients to form and grow in mother’s womb.  When the baby’s requirements exceed the amount taken in the body will leach calcium from mother’s system to compensate.  This leaching of calcium from the body causes varicose veins, cramps, Charlie horses, loss of teeth, nervous upsets, and the list goes on.

HEAL’s Calcium formula is a wonderful natural calcium tea made up of horsetail grass, oat straw, comfrey root and lobelia. In this excellent all absorbable calcium formula the silica in the horsetail grass converts to calcium, and the other herbs work in close conjunction with this master calcium herb. We need calcium for nerve sheath, vein and artery walls, bone, teeth, etc. This combination is all pure herbs. It is also used for cramps, “Charlie horses,” and for all calcium needs in the body.

An Excellent fast herbal aid to clear Varicose Veins is HEAL’s BF&C formula and Salve.  Apply a Salve pack over the affected area as directed in our BF&C Info Sheet and use 1 tsp. of the tinctured BF&C formula added to a cup of hot water three times a day.  Many women have had their varicosities reduced miraculously by following these directions.

BF&C is also an excellent aid for the growing fetus as it provides natures best nutrients for knitting the Bone, Flesh, and Cartilage together.  This formula can be used throughout pregnancy as an aid for the growing baby. For more information on this formula see our BF&C Information Sheet or email mail@healmarketplace.com for a pdf copy.

A Quick Look at the Health Benefits of Turmeric

Turmeric is one of the most nutritionally beneficial herbs in nature. A strong opening statement but the facts speak for themselves.  Not a few high quality studies have shown Turmeric provides major benefits to the body and brain.

The first question to answer is what makes this root such a powerful healing support.  Turmeric Contains Bioactive Compounds which have powerful medicinal properties. The most important of these compounds is curcumin.

In this article I want to offer some of the benefits Turmeric can offer a body & mind.

Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.  Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine… a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2000%.

A pinch of black pepper added or swallowing a few whole peppercorns along with the Turmeric, is an excellent way to enhance absorption.

Curcumin is also fat soluble, so it may be a good idea to take it with a healthy source of fat, try using Flax or Coconut oil added to the turmeric paste or directly into the liquid mix before drinking.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Working as a natural anti-inflammatory compound Curcumin aids in clearing chronic inflammation from the body. It is now believed that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions. Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases.

Curcumin has powerful antioxidant effects. It neutralizes free radicals on its own, then stimulates the body’s own antioxidant enzymes.

Curcumin Boosts Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Linked to Improved Brain Function and a Lower Risk of Brain Diseases

Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain.

Curcumin Leads to Various Improvements That Should Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease

Curcumin has beneficial effects on several factors known to play a role in heart disease. It improves the function of the endothelium and is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant.

Curcumin May be Useful in Preventing and Treating Alzheimer’s Disease

A key feature of Alzheimer’s disease is the buildup of protein tangles called Amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear these plaques.  Curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to lead to various improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease.

Studies Show That Curcumin Has Incredible Benefits Against Depression

Curcumin has shown some promise in treating depression.  Depression has been linked to reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and a shrinking hippocampus. Curcumin boosts BNDF levels, potentially reversing some of these changes. Evidence has shown curcumin can boost the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.

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

There is much to be said about the value of a topical herbal application to aid in faster healing.  The use of the herbal extracts as an internal aid for rebuilding a sick or damage system is invaluable but when the use of extracts is added to the topical application of the herbs the body responds very quickly.  The frequent internal use of the herbs keeps the healing nutrition constantly available allowing the body to draw on these nutrients when needed during the day as the healing work continues.  Applying an application of the herbs directly over the injured or affected area will saturate the damaged tissue with the healing herbal combinations allowing an intense work to be affected where most needed.

Topical application can be used for any of the following reasons:

Soft Tissue Injury: The BF&C Salve packed over a soft tissue strain or sprain depending on the degree of injury will quickly clear the issue often overnight.   Apply a good amount of Salve over the affected area, cover with flannel material, then plastic wrap.  Leave in place 6 to 8 hours or overnight.  Repeat if needed.

Tight or spastic muscles: Massage M&L Salve over affected muscles.  Relief is often noted very quickly but can be in as much as five to ten minutes.

Swollen or enlarged lymph nodes: Pack the M&L Salve over affected lymph nodes.  To pack a salve apply a good amount to a double thick piece of Flannel; apply salve side of pack directly over affected area. Hold the pack in place with Press-n-seal, plastic wrap.

Nerve Pain: The General Nervine Salve or the NF Salve will calm the nerves stopping the pain.  Nervine Herbs stop nerve pain.  These Salves are excellent aids for the pain of Shingles, painful tender knees, hands ect. They directly affect the throbbing, spastic nerve, quieting the nerve down so the pain stops.  The awareness of injury is still there but the pain has stopped. This is an excellent tool to calm painful inflamed conditions while not numbing the body.  The use of pain medication which numbs the affected area creates a situation where it is easy to over use the injured part causing more damage and pain.

Whip Lash, Neck Injury: Use the M&L Salve to stop the muscle spasm in the neck then pack with the BF&C Salve to heal the injured, torn, neck tissue.  Treatment can be repeated as needed until the body has mended; often in three to six months.

Remember all these natural healing suggestions are provided with the understanding that the foundational healing programs are being followed.  Good Nutrition, Bowel Cleansing, Boosting the Immune system.  See the Foundational E-Book in our member’s area for more information.

Foot pain can destroy the quality of life, preventing free movement further impeding good circulation throughout the body.  Everyday activities become a trial when every step taken creates pain.  Here today are a few suggestions for naturally clearing foot pain.

Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, attaching at the bottom of the heel bone and extending to the forefoot. Achilles tendonitis causes inflammation and degeneration of the Achilles tendon. The achilles tendon is the large tendon located in the back of the leg that inserts into the heel.  Herbal Remedy: This issue is quickly cleared by applying a BF&C Salve pack over the affected area.  Relief is often found quickly using the BF&C Extract internally and applying a pack of the salve over the affected tendon area.  Leave pack on all night.  Pack can be reapplied and left on during the day if needed.

A heel spur develops as an abnormal growth of the heel bone. Calcium deposits form when the plantar fascia pulls away from the heel area, causing a bony protrusion, or heel spur to develop. Herbal Remedy: Apply BF&C Pack over affected area to dissolve spur. Heel Spurs are often cleared in six to ten days when packs are applied nightly. (The packs can also be applied during the day for faster healing.)

Bunions, Corns, Calluses; are some of the most common foot problems. A bunion is a prominent bump on the inside of the foot around the big toe joint. This bump is actually a bone protruding towards the inside of the foot. Some of the symptoms of bunions include inflammation, swelling, and soreness on the side surface of the big toe.

The Formation of Calluses is caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken over an area of the foot.

Corns like calluses develop from an accumulation of dead skin cells on the foot, forming thick, hardened areas. They contain a cone-shaped core with a point that can press on a nerve below, causing pain.

Tailor’s Bunion, also known as a Bunionette form on the outside of the foot towards the joint at the little toe. It is a smaller bump that forms due to the little toe moving inwards, towards the big toe.

Herbal Remedy: Bunions, Corns & Calluses are slow to clear usually taking several months of continued herbal support to dissolve and complete clear the lumps & bumps.  Apply BF&C Pack daily over affected area.  In addition use the BF&C extract ½ to 1 tsp. three times a day in cup of hot water or juice.

Toenail fungus infection occur when microscopic fungi gain entry through a small trauma in the nail, then grow and spread in the warm, moist environment inside the socks and shoes. Fungal infections can affect the fingernails as well as the toenails, but toenail fungus is more difficult to treat because toenails grow more slowly. It occurs most often on the big or small toe, but might occur on any toe. Herbal Remedy: Black Walnut Salve and Extract are the most powerful anti-fungal remedies available.  Applying a application of Black walnut over the affected area will aid in clearing even the worst nail fungus infection.  See our Feet Info sheet for more detailed instructions.

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that causes red, dry, flaking skin, sometimes accompanied by pain or itching. The condition usually occurs between the toes or on the soles or sides of the feet. In its acute stage, the infected foot exhibits blisters that itch or “weep”. Athlete’s Foot can spread to the toenails, causing chronic fungal infections. Often when a patient thinks the feet are only dry and cracking, Athlete’s Foot is responsible for the problem. Herbal Remedy: Black Walnut Salve and Extract are the most powerful anti-fungal remedies available.  Applying a application of Black walnut over the affected area will aid in clearing even the worst fungus issues.  See our Feet Info sheet for more detailed instructions.
