HEAL has two general infection fighting formulas, the Herbal Antibiotic, and Infection Formula.  The question keeps arising on how to use them.  I hope to address this today and provide a few tools for understanding how to fight infection naturally.

Definition

 Infection: The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are not normally present within the body. An infection may cause no symptoms and be subclinical, or it may cause symptoms and be clinically apparent. An infection may remain localized, or it may spread through the blood or lymphatic vessels to become systemic (bodywide). Micro-organisms that live naturally in the body are not considered infections. For example, bacteria that normally live within the mouth and intestine are not infections.

An infection is a serious condition that if left unchecked can be fatal.  Any infection of the body needs to be handled aggressively and cleared as quickly as possible.

Herbal Antibiotic

Formula: Garlic, Dandelion, Goldenseal, Cayenne, Ginger, Horseradish

This formula is all about the Garlic.

Garlic kills germs!!! In 1944, chemist C. Cavallito identified the stinky compound in garlic, called allicin, and demonstrated that it was a highly effective antibiotic. Other tests have confirmed that garlic is an even more powerful germ-killer than either penicillin or tetracycline. The list of microbes that garlic can slay includes botulism, tuberculosis, diarrhea, staph, dysentery, pneumonia, sepsis and typhoid. Reports list 72 separate bugs garlic can bump off; bacteria, yeast, fungus, parasites and protozoa all yield to garlic.

The most significant recent discovery is that garlic also kills viruses. Using the Herbal Antibiotic at the first sign of a cold or flu will in most cases prevent the onset of symptoms.  I have found when I begin to get that all over achy feeling or a scratchy feeling in the back of my throat I can prevent the viruses from getting a foot hold in my body if I will start using 1 teaspoon of Herbal Antibiotic in a cup of hot water with honey.  I will keep my cup full and sip on this all day long.  Normally I’m on top of my symptoms in about 24 hours.

Dr. North’s data shows garlic extract kills with near 100 percent effectiveness; human rhinovirus which causes colds, parainfluenza3, a common flu and respiratory virus, herpes simplex1, which causes fever blisters, herpes simplex2 responsible for genital herpes. In addition, garlic has killed the polio virus with 90 percent effectiveness and proven capable of tackling the deadly HIV virus.

The Herbal Antibiotic has been used effectively to clear nearly every type of infections.  I have always been disappointed and frustrated with how poorly it deals with teeth & gum infections.

For the basic Infection program download our Infection Information sheet:

Infection Formula

Ingredients: Plantain, Black Walnut, Goldenseal root, Bugle Weed, Marshmallow Root, Lobelia

This formula is all about Plantain.

Plantain is known as an alternative herb, cleaning the blood and the eliminative tissues and organs. Alterative herbs gradually alter and correct impurities and toxins within the blood. Therefore plantain is beneficial for the liver, kidneys and skin.

Plantain has a stimulating alterative effect on the circulatory system.

It is one of the best herbs for blood detoxification, especially where blood poisoning or bites and stings are present as plantain reduces the swelling as well as healing the affected area.

Plantain is also beneficial for kidney and bladder complaints as well as for any skin condition.

Plantain is therefore one of the most efficient herbs for fighting infection and can also be used as a poultice to draw out infection.

Good for:

• Detoxification and improving the quality of the blood
• Stimulating and detoxifying the circulatory system
• Teeth & Gum infections
• Blood poisoning, bites and stings
• Fighting infection
• Kidney and bladder complaints
• Ongoing skin conditions
• As a poultice for drawing toxins and infection from the body

Uses and Examples

Our Infection Salve has been used to clear strep from the skin. It is extremely effective on any skin infection including the more serious ones.  The salve is also an excellent aid for wasp or bee

Mild, Moderate & Intense Cleansing Programs

Today I will provide several cleansing options to choose from depending on the degree of work needing to be done. We will start with a mild seasonal cleansing program. I have heard this called a Seasonal Oil Change for the body. This is the mildest flushing program intended to seasonally cleanse someone who normally maintains a healthy ^(vegan)lifestyle.

We are currently supporting several members actively working to clear major diseases. This past week I spoke with a new member who had just finished a full month juice fasting while doing what he thought was a strong four week incurables program. After which he received a disappointing report from his doctor. A friend suggested he call HEAL. After speaking with him I realized he had done a fairly weak program.

A Mild Seasonal Cleansing Program

Begin by establishing the three Foundational Programs

• Boosting with Echinacea: an ounce a day for 4 days each week.
• Superfood & Juicing
• Bowel Cleansing

This will take only a few days for those who maintain a healthy lifestyle. Once the bowels are open and working well it is safe to begin your selected flush.

• Fall & Spring: Liver Flushing
• Summer & Winter: Kidney Flushing

Follow the instructions as provided in the E-books on Liver & Kidney flushing doing ONLY ONE flush drink first thing each morning for five days along with a raw food program.

For a more intense cleansing follow a juice fasting food program during your five day flush.

For those wanting to seasonally flush both the Liver & Kidneys, plan to set aside two weeks. Begin with Liver Flushing and end with a week of Kidney Flushing.

Special Note: Each week of Liver Flushing, Do an ELF the evening of day five. Complete Instructions are provided in the Liver Flushing E-Book.

Moderate Cleansing Programs

Here is a program to follow when you want to continue working on an issue but with a little less intensity. Maybe you have done a strong incurable program for several months, there is still a good deal of work to do but it is time to relax a little. This is also an excellent seasonal cleansing program for those who want a stronger cleanse.

Begin by establishing the three Foundational Programs

• Boosting with Echinacea: Start with an ounce a day for 4 days each week.
• Superfood & Juicing
• Bowel Cleansing

Liver Flush: When the Bowels are open and working well begin with the Liver Flush. Follow the directions in our Liver Flushing E-book. Do three flushes each day during your five day program. End each Liver Flushing week with an ELF. The Food program for this week is Juice Fasting Only.

Kidney Flush: Follow with the Five Day Kidney Flush program. Follow the Direction in our Kidney Flushing E-Book. Do Three Flushes each day. You may eat a Raw Food Program during the Kidney Flush week.

Note:
Remember your current state of health did not occur overnight, don’t expect to clear 20 or more years of unconscious living in a month. The 30 day incurables program is only the beginning. Depending on your state of health you may need to repeat the 30 day cycle many times before your condition has been restored.

The Full Strength Incurables Program

Here is a strong program intended for those needing to clear major conditions from their bodies. Below I will describe a strong basic Incurables Program. This is what everyone will be doing regardless of disease or condition. Other program may need to be added to this basic program an example would be, someone with heart issues would also need to be using the Heart Tonic ect… Feel free to call the office for support establishing any additional programs you may need to be doing.

Begin by establishing the three :

• Boosting with Echinacea: Start with an ounce a day for 4 days each week.
• Superfood & Juicing: There is no need to be hungry while doing this program. There is no limit to the amount of juice you many consume each day.
• Bowel Cleansing: The LBF #1 & #2 will be established and continued as long as you are doing a healing program.

Full Strength Liver Flushing

When the Bowels are open and working well begin with the Liver Flush. Follow the directions in our Liver Flushing E-book. Do three flushes each day during your five day program. On Day five of your first week liver flushing we suggest you do an ELF.

Beginning with your second week of Liver Flushing you may do an ELF daily or as often during the week as can be tolerated. The value of the ELF is to turn your internal vacuum (the liver) way up. Every time you do an ELF the liver is flushed out allowing it to pull toxins from everywhere. Doing an ELF is equivalent to changing your internal vacuum bag.

Food Program: Juice fasting only; those needing more calories may consume a tablespoon Flax oil with your Superfood drinks.

Herbal Support for Nausea: 1 tsp. LP Formula/ 1 tsp. Digestive tonic in 2 ounces water; Drink all at once.

Follow each week long liver flush with a week of Kidney flushing. During your week of liver flushing huge amounts of toxins are being processed for removal from your system. This work will not be completed during this five day period. During the week of Kidney flushing the body will have opportunity to complete the work began during the week of liver flushing while also supporting the renal system.

Full Strength Kidney Flushing

Follow with the Five Day Kidney Flush program. Follow the Direction in our Kidney Flushing E-Book. Do Three Flushes each day.

Food Program: Juices Only; you may add a tablespoon Flax oil to your Superfood drinks if desired

Remember there is no limit on the amount of Juice you may consume. Drink all you want. If you become hungry drink more.

Continue the Kidney & Liver Flushing Routines until you have cleared your condition. This may take anywhere from 3 months to a year depending on how much work needs to be done. After several months on this intense program you may want to take a little break but not stop the program completely. Try stepping down to the moderate level of cleansing for a little while.

Hydro Therapy : Cold Sheet Treatment 

It is suggested doing a Cold Sheet each week you are working a major program. Follow the direction in the Hydro Therapy E-Book.

Preparing the body to heal is as important as the actual healing programs.  The Bowels must be open, the immune system must be supercharged, the nutrients must be flowing or the therapeutic flushes will be unable to do their healing work.

The issue or disease really is not of importance when setting up the body for healing.  Regardless the disease or condition of the system the set-up for healing will be the same.

Bowel Cleansing:  to open the largest elimination organ and maintain good bowel function throughout the healing process.

Echinacea: to supercharge the immune system for dealing with the huge amount of upcoming “die-off” and rebuilding during the healing process.

Superfood & Fresh Juices: to provide the massive amounts of nutrition needed during the cleansing and healing processes.

Once the body has been prepared to heal, it is now ready to release the disease while rebuilding the weak and damaged organs.

Flushing the liver is the next step in the healing process. It is time to initiate the first week of Liver Flushing along with any support programs for the specific condition.  The more serious the condition the more intense will be the flushing programs.  See the article on “Light, Moderate, and Intense Flushing”

Continue the Set-up or Foundational programs throughout your entire healing process adding to them weeks of liver flushing followed by a week of Kidney flushing.  These flushing programs support the body in eliminating the disease from the system.  The body knows how to heal; our job is to provide the needed nutrients and nutrition so these wonderful bodies can do correctly what only they know how to do.

A blockage can occur anywhere in the body. The condition is brought on by illness or injury affecting the removal of waste and influx of nutrients into the affected area.  For healing to occur blockage must be cleared and the affected area provided with an abundant supply of healing nutrients.  This can be done in a variety of ways depending on the blockage.

The Basics for clearing Blockage apply regardless of the cause or location of the blockage.  The bowels must be open and working well.  The work of supporting the immune system with Echinacea is an ongoing part of any healing program.  Supplying the body with the nutrients needed to build the immune system while healing and rebuilding the body is done by daily consuming nutrient rich juices and food.

Fever Flu Blockage: Dr. Christopher explains the body’s efforts to throw off waste through the skin during a flu or cold being prevented by a layer of mucus blocking up the small capillaries.  This blockage causes the body’s temperature to rise which liquidizes the fibrin and mucus allowing this waste to pass from the system through the skin.    Once the blockage has been cleared the waste is cleared and the fever dissipates.  It is important to work with a fever while not allowing the fever to burn out of control.

Clearing blockage from the lymphatic system which can show up as painful swollen lymph nodes can be done effectively with internal liver flushing.  For additional support apply the M&L salve and castor oil or Charcoal/ flax seed poultices over the swollen areas.  The Castor Oil will break up the congestion allowing movement of the waste from the blocked up area.  The Charcoal/ Flaxseed poultice draws infection and waste from the body.   Both types of packs are useful and can be alternated during the healing process.  Massage a bit of the M&L Salve over the area before applying either pack.  The salve will open the area allowing better action from the poultices and packs.

Injury caused blockage: A pulled or torn muscle or ligament will often result in a swollen condition around the injured area.  The body is trying to protect the area by building up a wall of fluid around the injury.  This blockage hinders healing and can be greatly reduced by the application of ice or cold water.  The application of BF&C slave at the time of a soft tissue injury will often prevent or greatly reduce the blockage and swelling bringing quick healing to the area.

Use Hydrotherapy for clearing blockage remaining from old injuries or illnesses.  Hot and Cold applications increases circulation allowing waste to be removed and nutrients supplied.  The application of hot and cold can be accomplished with buckets of water, a shower or soak in a tub.  Benefit is received when the hot application is followed quickly and dramatically with the intense cold application.  A good analogy is loading and firing a blood bullet into the affected area.  The Hot water loads the gun by bringing fresh blood over the affected area while the cold fires it, sending the blood deep into the blocked up area.  The more drama between the hot and cold changes the more power behind the blood bullet, the deeper and more effective the circulation through the blocked up area.

Today I want to share a bit about naturally caring for abdominal discomfort and pain.  This type of issue can be quite frightening.  The first items I reach for when there is discomfort or pain in the abdominal region is the Digestive tonic in combination with the LP formula (aka: LG/AP).  A teaspoon of each in a couple ounces of water, downed all at once, will often settle the worst issues in a matter of minutes.

The digestive tonic will aid in settling an upset stomach, quickly ends most cases of acid reflex instantly, while also relieving excess bloating and gas issues.  The LP formula supports healthy gallbladder function while providing an extra layer of support for most upper digestive issues.  This combination is natural healing first aid for a gallbladder attack but has been found to also provide excellent support for most abdominal upset and pain issues.

Experience has shown the gallbladder will often act up given the slightest opportunity.  When dealing with any abdominal issue it is always best to calm this organ down at once giving yourself time to discover what the main issue is.

Lower bowel issues such as crampy bowels, diarrhea ect… can be quickly cleared using the LBF #2 formula.  If the bowels are crampy or loose use one teaspoon to 8 oz of water, drink all at once.

When the bowels have turned to water, use a tablespoon of the LBF #2 shaken in 12 ounces of water.  Most often only one or two does are needed to clear even the worse cases of diarrhea.

There is no overdosing on this formula.  My personal experience during a case of bad food poisoning was to use nearly a whole 8 oz container overnight while trying to clear the watery diarrhea I was passing.  At one point I did 16 ounces of water and two heaping tablespoons of the LBF #2.  I earned an hour or so of sleep before I had to take more.  By morning I passed solid waste and the issue was cleared.  There were no after affects from the huge dosing of the LBF #2.

Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissues of the neck from a sudden jerking or “whipping” of the head. This type of motion strains the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion.  Although Whiplash is usually associated with car accidents, any impact or blow that causes your head to jerk forward or backward can cause neck strain. The sudden force stretches and tears the muscles and tendons in your neck.

In 1976 my mother received whiplash as a result of a car accident.  I was in my late teens at the time and remember vividly the horrid headaches my mother endured.  The poor woman never fully recovered from her neck injury.  She found some temporary relief from chiropractic adjustments but struggled through periods of debilitating neck and back pain until she passed in 2005.

Several years ago I experienced a jarring fall from an office chair onto the hard tile floor.  I landed hard on my seat but felt ok initially.  I slept fine that first night.  It was around 2am the second night after the fall that I became aware of how badly I had injured myself.  I awoke to a searing pain in my head.  Struggling into the bathroom I found my jar of M&L Salve and smeared it liberally around my neck.  Relief came in less than two minutes.  The Salve began working on contact to relax the muscles stopping the horrific pain before I had crossed the room to my bed.

Over the next few months I used the M&L Salve nightly along with the BF&C Packs.  The M&L Salve stops the spasm while the BF&C works to knit the damaged area back together.  There is still a tendency in my neck to spasm if the muscles become chilled.

The herb alfalfa is good for man or beast.  Alfalfa is a plant we can use with complete safety.  It is non-toxic, non-poisonous and non-habit forming.  This qualifies it as one of many herbs which are beneficial for mankind.  It is “seed bearing” and a green herb, fulfilling the Biblical specifications in Genesis 1:29 and 30.

It is only in recent years that we moderns are rediscovering its valuable nutritive properties, which include organic minerals of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium, plus all the known vitamins including Vitamin K and the recently discovered Vitamin B-8 and Vitamin P.  Alfalfa’s organic salts are among the richest known, the depth and spread of its roots enabling it to absorb its valuable nutrition as far as 125 feet below the earth’s surface. This deep growing plant is seen from Maine to Virginia and westward to the Pacific Coast in the United States.

Vitamin D & B12: Alfalfa is one of the few vegetable sources of Vitamin D. Although the sun is generally regarded as the best source for getting this vitamin there are about 4740 International Units of Vitamin D per pound of Alfalfa.  Another important element in Alfalfa is vitamin Bl2. Most nutritionists claim that it is only present in animal products, dairy products, or sewage.

Significant Source of Protein: Alfalfa, along with other foods, is known to help remove cholesterol from the system. Alfalfa has a significant amount of protein–18.9%, as compared with 16.5% in beef, 3.3% in milk and 13.1% in eggs. Eating the sprouts can add a significant amount of important protein into a vegan’s food program whose diet may include so many grains and beans that concentrated proteins are difficult to obtain.

Alfalfa was discovered by the Arabs and is one of the first known herbs.  They called it the “father of all foods.”  An amazing label to apply when one considers the only obtainable herbal wisdom was use and observation.  There were no testing facilities to determine the dense nutrient value within the herb.  Their only knowledge of alfalfa came by evidential experience.

Alfalfa is helpful for every condition of the body whether it be maintaining or regaining health as the contents are balanced for complete absorption.  Each nutrient perfectly supports absorption, enabling 100% usage of the dense nutrients found in this plant.  Alfalfa may be used by itself or blended with other herbal teas with or between meals.

Alfalfa and Pregnancy

Alfalfa is an important herb to take throughout pregnancy. For morning sickness a daily green drink consisting of Alfalfa, comfrey and fresh red-raspberry leaves has been used with great success.  The fresh green drink is much more effective than a  tea made of the same substances.

Green Drink: Make in a blender using Alfalfa, comfrey, and fresh red-raspberry leaves.  The addition of pineapple juice, fresh or canned, may enhance the flavor.  Lamb’s quarter may also be added for extra nutriments.

If the mother-to-be would make use of this God-given herb, she would provide the growing infant with nutrient rich blood, the best raw materials for building a healthy body.

Alfalfa also contains hormones.  These hormones are utilized by the pituitary gland.  This is the gland which regulates labor.  It is essential to have this gland in top condition.

Clotting Factor: Vitamin K, present in alfalfa, is the substance which has been called “the clotting factor.” Many unnecessary hemorrhages can be prevented by the daily ingestion of alfalfa tea, capsules or tablets during pregnancy.

After delivery, the ingestion of alfalfa will facilitate the healing of the uterus.  Pregnant women would do well to take no less than 15 alfalfa tablets or capsules daily.

Rich Milk: Alfalfa is also thought to dramatically help bring the milk in for the nursing mother. It certainly enriches the quality of the milk and is much preferable to other hot beverages, such as regular tea, which can pollute the breast milk. It can be flavored with mint, orange peel, and honey.
