Discover the hidden secrets nature has to offer. For over 25 years, I have been teaching people how to use natural herbs to make homeopathic remedies, tonics, elixirs, tinctures, formulas and secret recipes to relieve the symptoms of common ailments, protect your health and live a vibrant life.
Sprain
SPRAIN: A sprain injures soft tissue and this type injury needs your tender loving care; it seems like soft tissue takes longer to heal than a broken bone. I’m not as concerned about swelling as most medical books advise. It seems that swelling in this case is your body’s way of providing a “bandage” for [...]
Ulcers
ULCERS: An ulcer is an open sore that can appear anywhere on your body. It’s a sore that doesn’t heal. Ulcers in the mouth (canker sores) may be from a fungal overgrowth. If this is the case, we’ve found that opening a capsule of a probiotic and applying it directly to the sores in the [...]
Menstrual Flow – Heavy
MENSTRUAL FLOW-HEAVY: If you are producing an excess of estrogen (or getting it in your diet), you may have heavy, cramping menstrual periods. It is excess estrogen that causes this problem and it is serious enough to pay attention now. Besides the monthly cycle of pain from cramping, this can lead to endometriosis with lot [...]
Menopause
MENOPAUSE: The Japanese don’t have a word for menopause in their language—because it doesn’t exist as a problem. Current research points to the high use of soy products (soy is estrogenic) as the reason Japanese women don’t go through the ravages American women may experience during menopause. I agree that diet plays a role in [...]
Liver
LIVER: You only have one liver and it’s responsible for filtering your blood and cleaning it of toxins. Of course, it does other important things but its role as a major filter is vital to your health. What happens when it gets overloaded and can’t effectively clean your blood anymore? I believe this is when [...]
Lymph Cleanser
LYMPH CLEANSER: Your lymph nodes cleanse toxins from your blood. If you are ill or have a build up of toxins in your body, you may notice swelling in your lymph nodes. They are all over your body but most people notice the ones under the jaw line, around the knees or in the arm [...]
Grief
GRIEF: There is no magic herb to make grief go away but there are herbs that can help you through the process. With grief, you may have pain, heartache, sleeplessness and loss of appetite. The will to exist is at an all time low and so is your immune system. B Stress Vitamins with [...]
Atomidine – Iodine Supplement
Our food is iodine poor and without iodine, our thyroids don’t function well. Low thyroid has a host of symptoms such as goiter (enlargement around the neck), dry hair and skin, cold hands and feet, hormone imbalance, and even emotional swings. Low dietary iodine is such a problem that salt was “iodized” years ago to [...]
Indigestion
INDIGESTION: If this is an occasional problem, you will find the traditional after dinner mint or a cup of peppermint tea will solve the problem. If it’s a chronic problem, let’s get down to business and find out why. Digestion starts in your mouth so the longer you chew your food, the easier to digest [...]
Motion Sickness
MOTION SICKNESS: The number one remedy for motion sickness is ginger root as a capsule or Alvita Tea. Of course, you’re not in a position to brew a cup of tea and may not feel like swallowing a capsule, but I carry ginger caps with me anyway. At the first sign of nausea, I open [...]
Sea Band – Anti-Nausea Wrist Band
The Sea-Band is a knitted elasticated wrist band, which operates by applying pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point on each wrist by means of a plastic stud. Because the bands do not use drugs, they do not cause any of the side effects associated with anti-nausea drugs and can be worn on each wrist [...]
Lactose Intolerance
LACTOSE INTOLERANCE: If we looked at the natural world we would know we are the only living creature that continues to use milk into adulthood. We don’t even use human milk; we use milk from other animals. Apparently the way the animal produces it isn’t good enough, because we give the animals steroids and antibiotics [...]
IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS): IBS is characterized by alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation and can be quite painful, and sudden. IBS is not associated with any disease thus it is a problem of food and diet. IBS is a fairly modern problem that has become increasingly more common as the quality of our food [...]
Organic Food
ORGANIC: I frequently use the term organically grown so I thought I would explain it. Naturally, all food is organic, but this special term applies to food that is grown without chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizer either on the ground, on the plant, in the water, or in the manufacturing or packaging process. Organically grown [...]
Osteoporosis
OSTEOPOROSIS: This is a big subject since it affects everyone. That’s right; men and women are now suffering from osteoporosis. We’re seeing stress fractures and more broken bones from young, male athletes. What can be affecting both men and women? It was thought that estrogen might play a role in osteoporosis since this seemed to [...]
ph Test – Alkalizing Drops
If you read any books about healthy living you will probably know how important it is to maintain the proper acid/alkaline balance for your body. This acid/alkaline condition is call ph. We offer an easy to use saliva (or urine) ph test strip that will tell you your ph. A very low ph means you [...]
Coral Calcium
Coral calcium is my favorite type calcium. I am a big fan of any nutrient with lots of minerals and coral calcium has 70 trace minerals. Calcium (and other nutrients) are important for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis as I explain below. There are different kinds of calcium, different rates of absorption, and different [...]
Gout
GOUT: Uric acid precipitates out of your blood and into your joints (especially the feet-your lowest point of circulation). It feels like needles of glass sticking into you and the joint becomes swollen, red and inflamed. Yes, I had a gout attack, once. I do not want to do it again. I don’t know what [...]
