Incurables FAQ

questions

What is the Incurables Program? When should someone do this intense cleansing program?

The level and intensity of cleansing will be determined by the work you need to do.  It is important when possible to build up to the intense flushing programs.  Begin with the basic bowel cleanse for a week followed by two weeks of raw food while doing your first liver and kidney flushes.  The next step might be a five day juice fast and liver flush.  This powerful week of cleansing can clear many of those “knock’s and pings” accepted as a part of aging.

We all have issues in our bodies that bother us from time to time.  That dull ache on the right side just under the rib cage.  It comes and goes never too much of a bother.  Nightly leg cramps… just stuff we have come to accept as a part of life.  Everyone has headaches, right? Take a couple of aspirin to dull the pain.  These discomforts all occur because of blockage, a buildup of toxic waste in the body creating blockage.  Cleansing the body will clear out the cause for these little discomforts before they become something serious.

Full Strength Program

When you know there is a serious condition in your body it is time to do the full incurables program. The time has come to get those bowels opened, pull out that juicer and begin rebuilding your body with nutrient rich Juices.  While building with nutrition it is important to begin cleansing the bowels, liver, and kidneys.  Cleanse & Feed, this is how we assist the body in regaining a healthy state.

Keeping your liver actively pulling and dumping waste is key to removing any major disease.  This is done by flushing the liver repeatedly.  The intense program looks like this, castor Oil Packs over the liver every night, liver flushing every other week in addition to doing an ELF three nights a week during both the liver and kidney flushing schedules.

Lobelia as a Preventive

ailmentFever

The world is in a panic over the Ebola Infection, and well they should be.  Knowing how infectious diseases work in the body will help us develop an herbal remedy for any would be killer virus.  I know our loving heavenly Father has not left us without hope or help.  Today I will offer several suggestions that have not failed in the past to clear any infection I have used them on.

Preventive Measures: Lobelia can be used to stop the invasion of any infectious disease.  Between when the virus is contracted and when symptoms begin to appear is the incubation time.  During this period the virus is blocking up the system so it can take over the body.  Keeping our system’s open so normal waste can be properly removed prevents the blockage from being established which is key to not succumbing to an infectious disease.

Dr. Christopher has this to say on the subject of prevention: Lobelia is said to be an excellent remedy (and preventative) for infectious diseases. Since most fevers result from obstruction in some part of the system–usually the digestive tract, we have found–Lobelia “locates” and removes the obstruction. We have seen this happen many times with children; they begin to sicken, and you can tell there is something congesting their system. By removing that congestion, you remove the cause of the illness.

Lobelia can be used as an enema to remove congestion from the body via the colon. When Lobelia causes vomiting, Dr. Stan Malstrom claims, it usually signals a cleansing process in the body expelling debris that cannot be expelled in any other way. He considers it an effective remedy in scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, mumps, and other contagious diseases.

It gives almost immediate relief from suffocating mucus and phlegm that has accumulated in the respiratory tract and which is often associated with these diseases.

In connection with infectious diseases, Dr. Christopher told a story about one of the most contagious of them all–mononucleosis. A woman, an elderly student of Dr. Christopher’s, was in contact with the disease with the employees she worked with at a nursery hothouse. Since all of them had been using the company drinking fountain, all of them were exposed to the disease, and there was almost a complete turnover in employees because of it.

The lady tried to locate Dr. Christopher to ask what she should take to prevent getting the disease, but he was away lecturing. She took a bottle of Lobelia tincture to work with her, and took ¼ teaspoon or 35 drops in a teaspoonful of distilled water every hour. Out of all the employees, she was the only one who did not get mononucleosis! Dr. Christopher thought that she might have needed to drink a teaspoonful every so often, (Suggested time would be 1 teaspoon every three hours) as he thought more might be needed to do the job!

Often a person who has a fever coming on will take the teaspoonful of tincture of Lobelia with a glass of water. After vomiting, the fever breaks and the person is able to go about his regular duties. Dr. Christopher said that Lobelia is an anti-infection herb as well as a relaxant.

Using Garlic

Garlic& Green183x253

I had promised before our computer crash that I would write a little something on using garlic.  Finally I have a few minutes. Garlic is such a blessing; I hope you will familiarize yourself with this gift from above.

Garlic:  MAN’S BEST FRIEND IN A TOXIC WORLD

Garlic has been known for centuries to function as a natural antibiotic. It destroys the unnecessary and harm bacteria throughout the human system. It emulsifies cholesterol and loosens it from arterial walls.  It is used against contagious diseases, high blood pressure, fevers, parasites, worms, nicotine poisoning, and yeast infections.

I was recently asked to write something on garlic.  Where to begin.  Garlic can be used externally or internally.  It is natural healing first aid for clearing the lungs when applied as a paste to the feet.  You will find detailed direction in our Infection Info sheet.

Applied over a corn or wart garlic works to destroy the virus and dissolves the issue.  See info sheet on warts and feet care.

A powerful healer, this mighty little bulb deserves respect.  If not used properly when applying to the outside of the body it will leave a chemical burn.  For those who have not experienced a garlic or cayenne burn, let me say it is a burn and it hurts.  The first and best relief is to soak the affected area in aloe vera jel or juice.  BF&C Salve has also been useful to quickly heal the burn.

Garlic Paste to the Feet

Daily usage of garlic is a good plan.  Using garlic in your food program every day is an excellent way to protect the body from incoming germs & bacteria.  There are several way to get your daily dose of garlic.

Blend Olive oil with garlic cloves until smooth & Creamy.  This can be spread on toast or drizzled over a salad, it is also an excellent starter when browning onions, peppers, mushrooms ect… for any number of yummy dishes.

My Best Suggestion for Someone wanting a daily dose of garlic.

Use HEAL’s Supertonic or Herbal Antibiotic once or twice daily depending on your situation.  Supertonic, made with apple cider vinegar, can be used as a daily preventative added to water or juice or just knock back an ounce once a day.  The Supertonic is also  excellent as a salad dressing with olive oil and a season salt.

The Herbal Antibiotic tastes quite good added to a glass of tomato or V/8 juice.  It taste a bit like pepper sauce in your tomato juice drink.  The Herbal Antibiotic is also good as a hot tea with honey.  It is a great over all tonic as it brings fresh blood to the throat & vocal cords.  As a preventative try ½-1 Teaspoon once or twice a day depending on your needs.  This formula can also be taken for extended periods when clearing cholesterol issues from the system.  See our Cholesterol Information Sheet for details.

The Herbal Antibiotic can be used at full dose, 1 teaspoon every three hours, for those who need large amounts of garlic to clear their systems.

For those needing or wanting to eat large amounts of garlic for whatever reason there are several ways I have found to eat a huge amount of Garlic without pain.

Removing the Pimento from the Green Olives and inserting a slice of garlic is a great tasting way to get it down.

It is possible to add a large amount of fresh diced garlic to an avocado, tomato and lettuce salad or sandwich.  I have found the avocado absorbs the heat from the garlic allowing me to add a large amount sprinkled across this dish.

Using a Garlic press and scooping the soft garlic up into a gelatin capsule is another way to get a large dose down.  When using this method be ready to swallow the capsules quickly before they have a chance to melt.  The garlic is wet and will dissolve the capsules quickly.

Clearing Out the Junk

Copy of CarrotJuiceToday 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.

One of the first questions I am asked when anyone finds out I have gone four days without eating food is: “How can you do that, I would be starving?”  The hunger is never an issue.  I know I am getting a huge amount of nutrition in the fresh juices.  I do get a desire to chew and swallow at times.  I choose not to dwell on this and it goes away quickly.

The serious hunger issues some people experience when not chewing and swallowing is emotional.  You are not starving; your body is being nourished by the juices.  The emotional need to chew something can be overpowering for those who have never done a fast of any kind.  I would suggest starting with a one day juice fast.

The quickest way off a fast of any kind is to allow yourself to get too hungry.  First timers might want to keep a juice in hand constantly to sip on.  Stay hydrated.  Drink 32 ounces of water first thing in the morning and again in the early afternoon.  This will flush the waste your system is dumping from your body.  Add a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to the water for an even better result.

Do not gulp anything.  Drink every glass of liquid slowly, swishing each mouth full around before swallowing. This allows the digestive juices in your mouth to mix with the nutrition.  The juices & water will be better utilized when ingested this way.

The benefits of juice fasting out weight by far the discomfort associated with not eating.  The mind becomes clearer.  The backed up congestion in the system is cleared. This alone would be worth the trouble as it eliminates many little nagging issues around the body.

No I don’t know how long I will continue.  I do plan to eat raw over the weekend.  Come Monday morning I’ll decide if I want to juice fast for another week.

Sustaining Healthy body systems

Raindrop showerHealthy body systems and Normal Blood Pressure is achieved by maintaining a healthy emotional life along with a balanced lifestyle of healthy food and daily work, rest, exercise, and play.

Foundation for Emotional Health

We cannot control the emotional ups and downs life throws at us but we can control our reaction to them.  Building up a healthy spiritual foundation based on a belief that you are known completely and loved without reserve by the most powerful being in the universe is a perfect place to start.

Many people do not worship a God of Love, their God is wrathful, waiting for any reason or weakness on their part to punish or destroy.  This perception of God is not only unhealthy but can actually affect the way you value and deal with yourself and others.  We humans are blessed with an innate law of worship.  We assimilate to, or become like that which we worship, and we all worship something.  The health of the body, mind and soul depend to a large degree on what we are modeling ourselves after.  If you would like a better science based understanding of the spiritual mind & body connection the “God and the Brain” seminar by Dr. Tim Jennings is an excellent resource.

Foundation for Physical Health

Our bodies need a daily supply of nutrition or they will shut down and stop working.  The best nourishment would be to follow the original food plan provided for our first parents; vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and seeds.

The Question is asked: Don’t I Need Animal Products to Be Healthy?

Properly planned vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases….are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.— American Dietetic Association Volume 109, Issue 7, Pages 1266-1282 (July 2009)

Not only are animal products unnecessary for optimal health, an increasing number of nutritionists and health professionals are acknowledging animal products are harmful to our health. Meanwhile, a healthy vegan diet helps reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.

The China Study: by T. Colin Campbell is arguably the most comprehensive study on nutrition ever done. Campbell provides compelling evidence linking animal products to disease, including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, etc.

Why Use Extracts

Tinctures-183x253

Why HEAL prefers Herbal Extracts over capsules or press pills.  When using herb filled capsules or pressed pills the nutritional value diminishes from the bottles as they sit on the shelf.  Herbal extracts retain their potency; they do not have a shelf life.   The alcohol used to extract the herbal properties also preserves those nutrients indefinitely.   When stored in amber bottles herbal extracts have retained their value for a hundred or more years.

anxiety-herbs-lg

Extracts are quickly and easily assimilated into the system.  Even the most debilitated individual will have no problem absorbing the nutrition from the alcohol extracts.  Where the herb filled capsules or pressed pills must pass through the hydrochloric bath in the stomach to be broken down before they can be absorbed, this process is bypassed by the herbal extracts.  Someone with a diseased or debilitated system will not have the vitality needed to produce a strong hydrochloric bath in the stomach.  The result is fewer of the nutrients needed to rebuild the broken down systems in the body are absorbed from the food eaten.  The value of the extracts is absorbed directly into the system.

adding extract to water

Herbal Extracts are easy to use.  The liquid herbal formulas can be added directly to any drink.  The preferred way to consume the extracts is as a cup of tea.  Add the amount of the extract you desire to your favorite mug, top with hot water and your tea is ready to drink.  Sweeten with honey, or maple syrup if desired.

dropper in mouth

Herbal Extracts are Life Saving & Fast Acting. 

Here are several examples of how quickly the extracts work.  An older woman with heart palpitations discovered relief in less than a minute when consuming a hot tea containing hawthorn and cayenne tinctures.  Dizzy spells often end as soon as Cayenne extract enters the mouth. Muscle Spasms; Charlie horses are stopped in seconds by a dropper full or two of Lobelia taken directly in the mouth.     Adding the Digestive tonic to a glass of water for Acid reflux issues will provide relief all but instantly.  It’s like a fire hose putting out the flames as it washes from the mouth flowing down the throat and into the stomach.  These are only a few examples, for more information any of our great formulas check out the Members Area at: ladyofherbs.com.

Mullein & Lobelia

M&L Salve

Mullein & Lobelia;  An Amazing Herbal Combination

I began using this herbal combination several years ago when we began making salves.  Dr. Christopher called the Mullein & Lobelia Combination his glandular formula.  Originally we developed the salve for support of the glandular system and clearing of goiters on the thyroid gland.

Thyroid_goiternormal

Having this salve on hand enabled us to stumble onto some pretty amazing things this powerful combination is capable of doing.  Our first batch of salve had just cooled in the jars when I discovered its powerful anti-spasmodic properties.

M&L Salve a topical Anti-spasmodic rub.

Quick Relief for a Frozen Knee Joint

Every time I tell this story my husband rolls his eyes, will that is until this past summer.  Oh, I’m getting ahead of myself; I’ll start at the beginning.

It all began when I slid off our bed one morning to find my knee joint locked.  My right knee was frozen, and I was in a lot of pain.  I could not get back up on the bed nor could I move.  I have no idea how a jar of our new M& L Salve happened to be on my night table but there it was.  I was strongly impressed to apply a bit to my knee.  I knew Lobelia was an anti-spasmodic, so the idea was not completely out of left field.

knee-pain

What happened next can only be described as miraculous.  I reached around, opened the jar and smeared a small amount over my knee.  Instantly the knee released and I was able to walk away without pain.  It just let go.

When Michael returned I shared my fantastic story with him.  I was thrilled to find an herbal combination that could be so useful.  What a find, what a gift from God.  I was excited.  He was his normal skeptical self that is until this past summer when his knee locked up.  I handed him a jar of the M&L Salve which he applied to his knee.  He is now a believer, his knee instantly released.  Nowadays Michael is also singing the praises of the M&L Salve.

Frozen Finger joints

Not long ago I got a call from a member in California, she had over used her hands and said she could not open them; her fingers were frozen in a claw.  I suggested the M&L Salve and quickly got a jar out to her.  She called five minutes after she received her package and said her fingers had instantly released. Praise the Lord, his blessing continues to fill each day.

Massage support

girlmassage

Massage is an important part of any natural healing program.  Toxins need to be encouraged out of the tissues; a good Massage therapist can be invaluable.   I try to get two massages a month.  The M&L Salve is an excellent aid in softening and relaxing spastic muscles.   Apply the Salve over the difficult areas; allow the muscles a few minutes rest before beginning work on them.  When used muscles quickly relax in response to the massage.

Stiff Neck & Muscle Tension Headaches

The M&L Salve relaxes the muscular spasm in my neck & shoulders. The Lobelia is the best anti-spasmodic we have and the Mullein supports the movement out of the excess lymph fluid from the injured area.  The G-Nervine Salve works to very quickly to calm the nerves, ending the pain.  Together these two salves worked like a charm.

Foot Pain

One of our members reports using the M&L salve on her sore feet.  She suffers from foot pain and has found continual daily use will eliminate her foot pain.

Understanding Mullein

Mullein has a special affinity (attraction) for the respiratory organs and is a valuable remedy for all pulmonary complaints. It is the only herb known to man that has remarkable narcotic properties without being poisonous and harmful. It is a great herbal pain killer and nervous soporific, calming and quieting all inflamed and irritated nerves. With its use in wasting disorders (such as phthisis), the weight is steadily increased, expectoration is easy, cough is palliated, and the general condition improved. Mullein soothes and strengthens the bowels and renal system, is one of the most important agents for influencing the glandular system (the serious and mucous membranes). It promotes absorption of effusion (escape of fluids from their vessels, as by rupture)and morbid accumulations.

The Real Secret to Success

friendsThis life all goes so quickly.  I feel old today.  The smart phone we have has outsmarted me.  I have barely figured out how to dial an outgoing call.  As for answering the crazy thing when it rings, I have no idea how to pick up an incoming call.  Since we have no cell phone reception at the house this is not a real problem, just a slight annoyance.

Praise the Lord something’s do not change.  These beautiful bodies we have still require the same care today as they did 100 or 1000 years ago.  Nutrition, Emotional Upkeep, and Spirituals Peace, are still the only way to thrive.  The real secret of success and happiness in life is to be “other focused” as opposed to “self-focused”.   I have learned the best way to get out of an emotional “funk” is to begin caring for the needs of someone else.  Get my mind off me and focus on someone else.

Yes, I still have to deal with me and all my personal baggage, a task made easy when I begin counting my blessings instead of nursing my emotional boo-boo’s.  No one gets a free pass in this life; we all have our emotional bumps and burses.  The question is do you learn from the pain, have you squeezed every ounce of learning from life’s lessons.

The alternative is not pretty.  We have all known someone who has chosen to plant themselves on their personal pity pot where they plan to remain waiting for life to apologize or worse that angry soul looking for their pound of flesh. There is no redo button on life.  Don’t waste one more moment regretting the past.

Burn first Aid Testimony

Burn DegreeOne of our Members shared a great piece of Information with us this week.  I’m sure many of you will find this helpful. The following is an email from one of our wonderful members.

“I don’t know if you know it, but the M&L salve has to be one of the best treatments for burns that there is!

“I’m always burning my hands cooking or ironing. I’ve found that putting the burn in temperate water for a few minutes till it stops hurting, drying it off and adding some fresh aloe helps. However, the big, big get well quick is adding some M&L salve to the gauze on a waterproof bandage, leaving it on overnight and removing the Band-Aid in the AM. The burn is entirely gone with smooth flat skin underneath. It is amazing.

M&L Salve“I did it one other time when I stupidly grabbed a hot frying pan handle when we were in a rush to go on a trip. I applied the salve on 4 of my fingers and fingertips of my right hand overnight (no dressings!), thinking, “boy, this is going to be the pits lifting suitcases tomorrow!”  Woke up the next morning and my hand was healed. No soreness, no blisters, just smooth flat skin. Definitely a wonder!

It may not work for everyone, but it is a godsend for me!”

The Garlic Paste Story

DCPhoto

This is one of my favorite testimonies from the works of the late Dr. John Christopher.

Dr. Christopher tells the story: I remember one time we were called out to a house in the wee hours of the morning. This call was to see a little boy, under the age of two years, with double pneumonia. The physician on the case had informed the parents that nothing more could be done and he would come back in the morning to sign the child’s death certificate. Seeing as it was well under forty degrees below zero and nearly fifty miles from ambulance service, the parents were told that the boy, if taken by car to a hospital, would surely die. These parents tried to get other doctors, but at that time of night, and in such a remote area, no one would offer help. A friend told them about us, then living in Evanston, Wyoming, and to try to call us. Having been told of the boy’s condition we went expecting to give him the cold-sheet treatment. Upon arriving there we found that the plumbing was frozen and there was no running water in the house.

We found enough in the toilet tank above the bowl to give the little chap an enema. We were not able to give the cold sheet treatment (no water) so only the garlic paste was made up and applied. This was done after a complete massage of the body and the feet. After oiling the feet up to the ankles, thoroughly, and massaging the olive oil in well, a half-inch thickness of the garlic paste was applied to the soles of his feet. (This is put on only the soles and not up onto the sides). Then gauze was placed over to cover the paste, bandages to hold it into place, and a loose white cotton sock was pulled over the bandages to hold them securely.

Garlic paste is made by taking freshly peeled buttons of garlic and garlic about half and half with Vaseline. This amount can vary, according to the toughness of the feet, more Vaseline for tender feet, less for thicker skin.

Many of the health minded readers will be shocked by our using a low-vibration ointment like Vaseline instead of using anhydrous lanolin or some lighter more organic type. The reasoning for this is that the lighter type ointments will penetrate more quickly into the skin, but the Vaseline will hold the garlic on the ointment form. This will also keep the garlic from blistering as easily. (A garlic blister looks bad, but does not hurt and heals back quickly.)

Garlic Paste To the Feet–Updated

The little boy was running an extremely high fever and was delirious when he was covered and put back into bed. (This was well after 2:00 a.m.). We assured the parents the child would be all right and would get well. A few days later we were called again by these parents. They told us that the doctor came back to sign the death certificate that next morning, but the little boy was sitting in his high chair, drinking some juice and breathing normally as if nothing had happened the night before. The doctor became so angry and demanded to know the name of the other doctor who had taken over the case before it had been released by him. He wanted a hearing by “the board” to have the other doctor thrown out of practice for going “against procedure” by taking over a case without written release. The parents asked if his “release” was the death of their child. He probably changed his mind because we were not brought before a hearing.

I had forgotten this case until nearly twenty years had passed. One evening, after a lecture in another state, a fine-looking young fellow in his early twenties came up to the podium and shook my hand vigorously, saying he had always wanted to meet me. His mother had told him of our long trip in sub-zero weather at night to their house, of using the natural methods on, and saving his life. He stated that he enjoyed living so much he had been looking forward to meeting me. That paid off for a cold night out on a house call by far more than the small fee that was charged.
