SI.A.-R- (SINUSES, ALLERGIES-REUBEN) COMBINATION: Brings a more complete approach to the relief of sinus problems. Allergies are often associated with and aggravate sinus conditions. Because of this, the effects of allergies must be handled to reduce the swelling as well as liquefying and draining the sinuses to relieve the pressure miseries. The problem of infections must be addressed with antibiotic herbs. The immune system must also be strengthened. SI.A.-R does all four of these things and more. SI.A.-R was developed from established herbal functions out of necessity and desperation to ease suffering. Through experience, the formula's originator, Reuben Schwartz, attests that SI.A.-R has proven itself to be very effective in stopping allergies and opening up the sinuses. He does not recommend that SI.A.-R be taken just all the time. It is meant to bring quick relief and to be taken only when needed.

COMBINATION: Golden Seal is a powerful antibiotic. Bayberry liquefies and drains hardened sinus deposits. Chickweed reduces swelling and soothes and heals inflamed tissues. Gentian digests out dead cells, mucus and pockets of infection. Wood Betony relaxes cramped circulatory passages. Oregon Grape acts as a natural detergent. Ephedra opens breathing passages of the lungs and elsewhere. Indian Tobacco relaxes spastic conditions and functions as a poison antidote. Capsicum rapidly re-establishes circulation. Wild Rose Hips (and its associated rutin and hesperidin) are one of the finest natural sources of Vitamin C for repair, antidoting poisons and fighting infections. They also act as a catalyst to make the herb team more effective. Una De Gato is one of South America's finest herbs for building immunity. Siberian Ginseng (Indian Sarsaparilla) works with the adrenal glands (one on top of each kidney) to produce at least four dozen anti-stress compounds such as adrenaline and natural cortisone. Blue Vervain provides gentle and effective comfort for irritated nerves. Black Cohosh is one of the swiftest of poison antidotes to alleviate suffering.

SUGGESTED USE: When suffering, it is most helpful taken at the rate of 40 drops, in juice or water, every 10 to 15 minutes until relief.

What's in S.M. & W.-S First of all, The Formula - Stimulant for Men & Women by Solomon , contains the knowledge and observation of many years of Amish herbal experience. When a practitioner sees problems over and over, and what actually works on them, then you have experience that is valuable. What else? Well, the real touch of excitement comes when you can see a formula (based on this experience and made with high quality herbs) put together and see it can do more than the individual herbs in it can do separately. Then you really have something. And that is what happened and how this formula S.M. & W.-S was developed and came to be. Since then, we have the evidence of people continuing to demand this formula for its assistance to men and women. On the basis of this, one might suspect that it works. We can get a hint of its total function by looking at its ingredients.

Sarsaparilla- Has long been prized for its anti-stress, energy and stamina giving properties by nourishing the adrenal glands (one on top of each kidney). The adrenal glands factually make at least four dozen different anti-stress compounds to keep us on a level path. They can even make female hormones for a woman who has had a hysterectomy operation to remove the ovaries and or uterus.

Pumpkin Seed- Contains the necessary trace elements of Zinc and Copper. Zinc is the friend of the prostate and the uterus so that they function normally. Copper is needed to ensure elasticity of connective tissue. Pumpkin seeds are also the enemy of "parasites" that often plague parts of the body and go undetected as a cause of mischief. Zinc and Copper from Pumpkin Seeds don't fight each other like the people who sell you laboratory made tablets of Copper and Zinc supplements say they do.

Yokum- Is an herb that has known hormonal support properties. It increases the function of sexual activity for men and women.

Wild Yam- Can be taken by women and men to provide the building blocks for the body to convert into whatever sexual hormone may be lacking. Wild Yam also has an hormonal balancing property to it.

Maca- Is the herb used for millennia by the native peoples of the high Peruvian Andes Mountains for its fertility and anti-stress support. Maca is at home in the Andes and lives and survives the rigors of that harsh climate.

Stone Root- Dissolves waste mineral deposits which can clog up circulatory vessels and thus restores circulation and function. It is noted especially for its correction of the urinary system, but it also works on cleaning heart valves and all other areas where there are congestive mineral deposits.

VITAMIN B-COMPLEX - This group of 12 vitamins, collectively known as the B-Complex, was meant to work together as a balanced team. Four of the Vitamin B's can be made by the body itself. The rest must be obtained in prefabricated form from our diet. Proper stomach acid is needed to utilize B-Vitamins. For this reason, some people take 1tsp. to 1 Tbl. of Apple Cider Vinegar or Wine Vinegar at a meal with the B-Vitamins. Too much of one single Vitamin B can lead to a depletion of the others. Their overall function can be summarized by saying that they ensure that the nerves of the body can utilize blood sugar as their energy source and conduct messages properly. The B-Vitamins also maintain the covering or insulation on the nerves know as myelin (my'-oh-lin) so that "short circuits" do not occur. Then the nerves can monitor the body and coordinate its functions. Each of the Vitamin B's has specialty functions and it is good to know what they are so you can recognize when a person is not getting enough of them. We will concern ourselves with some of their most established functions. A complete list would fill a good sized book. That being the case, it is a pretty good idea to simply make sure you have a supplemental source of these vital compounds needed for life in you diet each day. B-1, also known as Thiamine- Control of the nerves which service the hands and feet (especially important for diabetics), heart and brain including memory (supportive of those with Alzheimer's disorder) and mood. B-2, also known as Riboflavin- Energy, healthy tongue, lips and gums, prevents itching skin. B-3, also known as Niacin- Increases blood circulation, drives out radiation. B-5, also known as Pantothenic Acid- Nourishes adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, to counteract stress and strong physical activity, combats fatigue. B-6, also known as Pyridoxine- Proper growth and clear skin. Helps combat depression. B-7, also known as Biotin- Prevents rashes and red scaly skin eruptions, discourages hair loss. Can correct brittle fingernails in women, allows body to use blood sugar better. B-9, also known as Folic Acid- Ensures that new body cells develop and divide correctly, prevents premature aging. Especially important for women who are pregnant. B-12, also known as Cyanocobalamin- Ensures enough new blood cells will be produced of the proper size, color and appearance. Lack of this vitamin causes a deadly type of anemia. Paba- Softens skin, improves hardened blood vessels, promotes healthy hair and helps prevent hair loss and restores color. Choline- Needed for healthy liver, brain and heart functions and their repair. The need for Choline is increased for pregnant and nursing mothers to ensure proper brain development. Inositol- Reduces excess fat in blood stream. Growing evidence indicates Inositol is helpful to stop formation of tumors and "bad cells." Lipoic Acid-Manufactured rather easily by the body. Important for its ability to detoxify and recycle material for energy. Growing evidence confirms that the Vitamin B's working together as a team also help to prevent deterioration of body tissues and thus promote a longer, healthier life.

Does not contain sugar, preservative or binders that may cause a problem for those sensitive to them.

RECOMMENDATION: Take one capsule with a meal three times per day. The bottle is sealed for your protection. Do not use if inner seal has been tampered with or damaged. Color variation may occur due to the differences in natural ingredients.

VITAMIN C - (Time Release)-Makes healthy elastic connective tissue and skin. Strengthens the immune system. Helps to counteract the harmful effects of pollution, smoking, antibiotics, steroids and oral contraceptives. Nourishes the adrenal glands (the anti-stress glands, one on top of each kidney) and brain. Reduces tension. Moderates the internal pressure of the eyes. Reduces excess cholesterol and triglyceride (fatty compounds) levels in the blood. Repairs injuries and wounds faster. It is well established that the undesirable effects of aging and the effects of Vitamin C deficiency (called scurvy) are very similar when you compare them. That being the case, why let these undesirable effects occur? To be more specific, Vitamin C is known to strengthen blood vessels, restore flexibility to connective tissue and speed wound healing. Vitamin C is an antioxidant (poison antidote) and therefore counteracts the injurious effects of free radicals (highly reactive unbalanced chemical compounds and sometimes oxygen compounds) that cause the body tissues to break down. Free radicals occur naturally in the process of living or they may be introduced from smoking or other sources of pollution. Vitamin C is known to improve the health of the immune system. It is taken in higher amounts to shake the distress of a cold or an infectious flu. Vitamin C is an all around essential vitamin which can also act in the place of missing nutritional gaps. That is to say, it can adapt to body conditions. It identifies that which is needed or going wrong and corrects it or can, for a time, act as what is missing until the deficiency can be made up. So when in doubt, a person will not make a mistake by taking a generous supply of this vitamin. Vitamin C dissolves in water and thus can not be stored very well in the body, so enjoy it each and every day.

The coated formulation of the tablets allows for a sustained time release and a continous supply of Vitamin C to the cells of the body. Contains no artificial flavors, artificial colors, sucrose or starch.

SUGGESTED USE: Take one table each day with a meal. This bottle has an inner seal for your assurance. Color variation can occur in these tables due to the natural botanical

Other ingredients: Modified cellulose, stearic acid, dicalcium phosphate, Silica, Maltodextrin, polyethylene glycol, lecithin and sodium citrate.

ARNICA – For external use only. Excellent first-aid for bruises, sprains, broken bones or concussions. Make several applications externally to the area until relief is felt. This is a very swift remedy. An overnight soak can be made for serious cases by putting 40 to 80 drops in 1/2 cup of water and dampening a cloth or gauze with the solution and covering the injured area. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap and hold in place with a bandage. Change the dressing once a day and allow the area to dry before reapplying the dressing. If the skin is sensitive, then apply Vitamin E oil from 100 I.U. (International Unit) capsules prior to the dressing. The area can also be washed between dressings. Be sure to discard old dressings and never reuse. Most sprains respond rapidly and are usually corrected with a single overnight dressing or a simple single external application by rubbing in the drops. Arnica can also be used on the pulse points – 5 to 10 drops on each wrist and temple and back of the neck for emotional and physical shocks, upsets, anxiety or when frightened. 1 to 5 drops a day reduces cholesterol when rubbed on the pulse points in a similar manner. For an excellent sore throat remedy, spray with a spray bottle the sore area, using a mixture of 10 drops of the extract to one tablespoon of water. DOSE: EXTERNAL USE ONLY

INDIAN TOBACCO (LOBELIA) - Indian Tobacco is perhaps the most serviceable, responsible and reliable herb of the herbal kingdom. It is a wonderful catalyst (regulator), and as Dr. John Christopher remarked, it is one of the "thinking" herbs. It has the power to coordinate, direct and assist the use of other herbs or act singly, which makes it an herb of much leverage. Its usefulness has encouraged much jealously from the physicians of lesser ability.

INDIAN TOBACCO CONT: - Doctors who did not recognize its true properties branded it as poisonous. In active practice, it is seen that the extract under the tongue will, within seconds or minutes (in severe cases), stop spasms, convulsions, and asthmatic attacks. With use, it easily directs itself and the other herbs to handle the body’s condition needing help first and the lesser conditions next. It may also be rubbed on the chest and spine when it cannot be taken by mouth. In those cases where Indian Tobacco does empty the stomach, since it is an antispasmodic, the emesis (throwing up) of putrid material does not even cause bruising. Indian Tobacco will not act as an emetic (stomach pump) unless and emetic is necessary, and then it will act strongly upon the putrid stomach, to empty it without bruising. When rubbed across the entire abdominal area, it will relieve any associated, painful gas. Indian Tobacco is very helpful in food poisoning. Indian Tobacco is an antagonist to poison, whether animal or vegetable in origin. Indian Tobacco is at once, both tranquilizing and energizing. This is a peculiar concept, but experience has proven it to be true. For relief of menstrual cramping or relief of "Charlie Horse" (painful cramp in leg muscle) or any muscular cramping, apply liberally to the area and quickly rub in. When externally applied, please use a good quality extract, not a watery one for the action to be accomplished. DOSAGE: 1 to 20 drops, one drop at a time on the tongue. (First brush a little Peppermint Oil on the tongue if sensitive stomach). Externally, use as much as is required.

DSK. – (Disc – shock absorber pads between the vertebrae of the spine and neck) Introduces calming, restorative influence to the disc and works on regeneration of structure. Take if swollen discs to reduce inflammation, discomfort and repair area. Also apply liberally, externally to the troubled area, three times per day. Between the vertebrae (neck and back bones) there rests a disc-shaped structure that could be described as a tough, fibrous, elastic, "shock absorber pad" made, essentially, of protein with a gelatinous fluid-filled center. This makes it possible to walk without discomfort and also be able to bend the back and neck easily. Since we normally walk on our hind two appendages (legs) and not the front two (arms), we support the entire upper body on a column of bone, in the lower back especially. If we do not maintain our protein intake properly and or put too much stress on the discs and or gain too much weight, they can deteriorate or rupture. This brings bone into contact with bone and great discomfort results. The DSK. combination of herbs is composed especially of Knitbone, a type of "body glue" and rapid repair herb, assisted by Valerian Root, a pain reliever, Papaya fruit, which contains a digestaid, papain, to digest out any damaged material which can not be repaired and Willow Bark, to relieve pain and inflammation. The Willow Bark and Valerian portions of DSK allow the sufferer to, at least get some rest due to their relaxing and pain relieving qualities. COMBINATION: Knitbone, Valerian Root, Papaya Fruit, Willow Bark. Dose: Internally, 40 to 80 drops, 3 to 4 times per day and externally, apply in quantity needed to cover the area. If trouble sleeping, then 80 drops to 1 tsp. internally and apply liberally to the distressed area. For more involved conditions also do as follows. NOTE: In cases where serious damage must be repaired, a more elaborate and quicker approach can be taken. Make an application to area to be repaired in the manner described here. Apply to the area: Vitamin E from 100 I.U. capsules to make oxygen more efficient in the repair process, Oil of Cajeput as a decongestant and pain reliever, and Herbal ADJ. to increase circulation and release muscle spasms. Then place a single layer of cheese cloth or absorbent gauze saturated with DSK. over the area. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap, fix in place and leave on overnight. In the morning, remove the application and discard it. Wash the area and allow to dry. Prepare and apply fresh daytime application like the one for the night. Repeat this regimen until repaired.

This dis-ease attacks the respiratory (breathing system) of a person and can become a life threateining problem. The acute part means rapid onset and the problem may result from a brief high intensity exposure to someone with the illness. The syndrome part means a group of symptoms (signs) running together that make up a "picture" of a certain dis-ease. SARS is caused by a virus. A virus is an infectious agent, smaller than most bacteria, and it needs a living cell to invade and live in to be activated and work its mischief.

What happens is that the SARS virus finds weakened or "dirty" cells in the lungs to enter and multiply. The virus destroys cells in the lungs and then the process of putrefaction (rotting) occurs. The lungs draw in fluid to dilute these poisons. All this cuts down on the amount of oxygen the lungs can take up. Breathing becomes labored and the person’s temperature climbs. If the lungs are not oxygenated, strengthened and cleaned death can result.

WHAT TO DO: Open capsules of Vitamin E and apply the oil all over the chest. This oxygenates the lungs and body. Next apply liquid Pleurisy Root Extract to the entire chest. This helps to drain the excess fluid from the lungs. Then apply liquid extract C.C.E.-W(Cleansing-Corrective-Extract) to the lungs and abdomen. This will clean the lungs and the wastes from the bowel. Then apply Oil of Cajeput to the chest. Oil of Cajeput is an antibiotic and will destroy fungus as well as relieve discomfort. It also opens the air passage ways which makes breathing easier. Its scent is pleasant. Finally, apply Herbal Adjustment all over the chest. This rapidly increases circulation and opens air passage ways. Infected mucus can now slide up and out of the lungs. After applying the Herbal Adjustment slip on an old wet white T-Shirt. Use cold water to wet the T-Shirt. Next, take a plastic trash bag and poke holes for the head and arms. Pull this down over the body. Go to bed, cover up and sweat it out.

Throughout the day, while sweating, drink 1 cup every three hours of warm tea made from Yarrow Extract. This will replace body fluids. Continue until the sweat out process is complete. The tea can be prepared by adding 1 tsp. of Yarrow Extract to 1 cup of either distilled water or a good spring water. While sweating, the infected mucus may begin to be coughed up. The temperature should drop, the lungs should be cleaned out and the process is then complete. Repeat if temperature begins to climb again and cough becomes tight. In severe cases apply all the above liquid extracts and oils to the back area where the lungs are located.

CAUTION: Do not get any liquid extracts or oils in the eyes as it will cause the sensation of stinging and/or great heat. Be reassured tissue is not being destroyed, but if you don’t know that you might panic. If any fluids should get into the eyes, flush immediately with water. Be patient and peace will return.

The desert herb Sutherlandia has the scientific name of Sutherlandia frutescens and is also known as Kankerbos, belbos, bitterblaar and gansies in South Africa where it is at home. In English people also call it Cancer Bush. It is a medium sized shrub with green leaves and bright red flowers. Parts used are above the ground: leaves, green stems, flowers and seeds with pods.

WHAT IT DOES: SUTHERLANDIA seems to be an herb which mainly improves the workings of the immune system (bone marrow, thymus gland, liver, lymph nodes, spleen and other parts of the body). It assists the body to root out and clean out viruses wherever they may be in the body, no matter how long they have been at their destructive work. What is surprising is just how many problems may be caused or aggravated by viruses and their poisons.

WHAT IT WORKS ON: Once body cells are weakened by something such as poor diet, poor bowel functions, harmful medications, emotional upsets, overwork, or other types of "stress" (stress = anything that threatens your survival), "disease" organisms can move in to work their mischief. One of those "disease" causing organisms is known as a virus. It is smaller than a germ, fungus or parasite. It takes over the machinery of a living body cell, perverts it and makes poisons. The virus makes that body cell sick, then multiplies itself inside the infected cell and then those offspring go off to invade other cells and so on. Unless something is done, this goes on and on until disaster results. The herb from the desert areas of South Africa known as Sutherlandia reverses this destructive process. The mischief caused by viruses and their poisons can be unraveled and corrected. Sutherlandia also works on the tumor causing viruses called retroviruses.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Should you choose to use Sutherlandia there may be a few "bumps in the road" to recovery, so to speak. It takes you back through the many past problems the body has had and you repair them as you go. But, wouldn’t it be worth it to develop an immune system that viruses just bounce off of ? It would be great to get back to original condition again wouldn’t it? It is a pretty tall order to build a strong immune system these days. This is especially true if you have lived for a while and your body has gone through some damaging battles and collected some "junk". If the body has "walled off" areas of struggle in the past, these may be cleaned out in the process of restoring the immune system.

HOW MUCH TO TAKE: SUTHERLANDIA is not candy. You can only go so fast when you set out to unravel all of the ills of the past caused by viruses and repair them as you go along.

INTERNAL USE: Experience has shown three to ten drops with meals can be a pretty good pace unless advised otherwise by your health care practitioner.

EXTERNAL USE: Apply to troubled area(s), enough to cover the area each day, until the problem is resolved.

FOLK MEDICINE USE FOR SUTHERLANDIA COLLECTED SINCE VERY EARLY TIMES UP TO THE PRESENT.

When you see the number of conditions that have been corrected by Sutherlandia, you wonder if viruses were mixed into the cause of most all of these ills. Take a look.

Contents: Sutherlandia, Virginia Snake Root, Cascara Sagrada, Bee Pollen, Distilled Water, and 38% ethanol (a grain neutral spirit).

WHY IT IS ALSO OFFERED IN A COMBINATION: During the time Sutherlandia is working, it helps to have a poison antidote working along with it. For this reason we have included some VIRGINIA SNAKE ROOT in the combination.

You will also want to make sure you are having regular bowel movements to eliminate the poisons that are being cleaned out by Sutherlandia. For this reason we have included some CASCARA SAGRADA in the combination.

Please understand it is also vital to have a diet rich in high quality protein so Sutherlandia can do its job properly. The white blood cells made in the bone marrow and those in the lymph nodes, as well as the interferon made by the liver to fight viruses all require protein to make them. For this reason we have included BEE POLLEN in the combination.

HOW MUCH TO TAKE: SUTHERLANDIA is not candy. You can only go so fast when you set out to unravel all of the ills of the past and repair them as you go along. Experience has shown three to ten drops per meal is a pretty good pace unless advised otherwise by your health care practitioner.

Vitamin E is one of many compounds, found normally in foods, which is essential for the body. That is to say, the body needs it and can't get along without it.

WHAT DOES IT DO? It is now fairly well established that Vitamin E acts to make sure all of the structures of the body receive enough oxygen. This is a good idea in order to stay healthy and to rebuild health regardless of what the problem is. When there is enough oxygen, the body can go about its business burning fuel and destroying poisons. This is why a list of conditions which have been observed to be helped by Vitamin E could fill up a closely typed page. Hence, you do find improvement with the health of the blood, hormone levels, the ease with which the heart works, fertility, nerves, eyes, muscle strength, brain, skin, digestion, energy, breathing easier and just about anything you would care to mention, including the rate at which you age. Keep in mind, for Vitamin E to do its job properly you must do those other nutritional and life style things that help it to work. It does not operate in a vacuum. This means, make it part of an overall health improvement approach. Examples of life style change are: clean the small intestine and bowel so it can be absorbed, move around so it can be "pumped" through the body. It is a "team player" and it also need the rest of the nutritional elements the body requires in order to get the most out of it. The most active form of it is called by the scientific name of d-alpha tocopherol. The most common source for it today in capsule form is soy beans.

NOTE: Vitamin E oil from capsules can be applied externally to areas in need which have trouble absorbing it from the digestive system. It can be applied to skin disturbances, injuries and burns to lessen discomfort, speed recovery and minimize scarring.

CAUTION: It is not know to be toxic when a person takes it as a supplement to the diet. The question is, "how much?" Therapeutic doses in scientific literature may range from 40 i.u. (international units, a measure of liquid vitamins) to 4,000 i.u. Of course, anytime you take what is called a therapeutic dose, it is recommended to do so on the advice of your doctor or health care provider.

ADULT DOSE: (2) Capsules per day or advised by your doctor of health care provider.

Please use a bowel management program as an essential part of your complete program for building better health naturally. It is essential and normal to empty the wastes from the colon, frequently, so they do not become reabsorbed and cause illness. The concept of one bowel movement per day leads to disease conditions of many kinds as the wastes seek emergency exits. In many so called "primitive" societies where there are 3 evacuations every 24 hours numerous dis-eases, we commonly have, are simply non-existent. They don’t even have names for them. It is especially important when the body is being cleaned and repaired to be able to eliminate the poisons from the body frequently. Energy and a sense of "well being" result from this program. Many problems will be prevented. "Miseries missed are also blessings received." The goal here is to achieve at least 2 and preferably 3 bowel movements per day.

EACH EVENING: Take 1 to 3 tsp. of C.C.E.-W (Cleansing-Corrective-Extract) in a little juice or 1 – 4 capsules of CASCARA SAGRADA. This is a cleaner. Also take 6 to 8 capsules of PSYLLIUM (still’-ee-yum) with a large glass of water. If preferred take the Psyllium as a loose powder at the rate of 1 tsp. strirred into a large glass of water. This is a softener and lubricant. It is essential for Psyllium to do its job to drink a large glass of water, as Psyllium expands greatly after taking it and if there is not enough water then things can get "gummed up". Psyllium also performs another valuable service; it acts much like a liquid and liquids are not compressible. Each time the intestines contract normally in their function (peristaltic waves initiated by swallowing) the Psyllium pushes back. In essence, Psyllium exercises the intestines internally with each use. In addition to the above, take 12 capsules of ALFALFA. This acts as a scrub brush to absorb poisons. Alfalfa also deodorizes the body internally and externally while it ushers out of the body many kinds of suspected "parasites". Take 80 drops of the combination MUGWORT & WORMSEED and 40 drops of CLOVE EXTRACT (Not Clove Oil) to kill the eggs.

NOTE: People who eat 1 to 2 cups of natural milk YOGURT (not low-fat milk) often notice they have increased levels of energy. After a few weeks they are no longer continually passing gas and the stool is odorless.

This program is for stroke victims, accident victims, surgical complications after surgery or "M.D.", "M.S." type problems. Any time there is surgery, a dental procedure, an automobile accident or an injury or trauma (electrical disturbance to the nerves) to the body from any source, there is a physical shock to the nervous system. This causes a continuing electrical disruption to the nervous system. This must be removed, even if the trauma was years ago, if repair is to take place. Otherwise, the herbs have a very difficult time doing their job.

DAILY– Apply the liquid herbs externally (listed as: Liquid Herbs to be Applied Daily) to the body, one after the other, along the pathways described below:

Have the person lie on the stomach. Start at the last cervical vertebra (neck bone) or the "bump" where the last cervical vertebra meets the first back vertebra on the trunk of the body.

A. Apply the liquid herb up onto the neck and onto the scalp all the way to the top of the head.

B. Apply the liquid herb all the way down the spine (about the width of the hand) to the tip of the coccyx (kok’siks-tail bone). Then apply over one of the buttocks and down one of the legs. When you get to the area behind the knee, go to one side as this is a rather sensitive area. Then continue down the leg (calf) to the heel and then to the middle of the foot. From there, run the liquid herb to the end of each toe. Then do the same to the other leg.

C. Apply the liquid herb in front of the ear and behind the ear, then down the neck and out to the shoulder. Then down the back of the arm to the elbow, then down the back of the forearm to the middle of the palm. From there run the liquid herb to the end of each finger.

D. Apply the liquid herb to the top of the head on the scalp, then go forward and down to the tip of the nose. Take care not to get into the eyes as intense stinging can occur. No permanent damage would occur, but it should be flushed with water. Time and patience are the best remedies after flushing.

E. Repeat this procedure each day until trauma is removed and the nervous system is repaired (this can take one month or longer in some cases) and/or until complete, normal use of the area returns. It has been observed that a pain may shoot down to the foot or hand or up to the head, or you may feel as if static electricity is coming out at the ends of the application to the fingers, toes or head, or you may observe the towel or sheet you are lying on is full of static electricity. This is simply the electrical disturbance or trauma that has been stored in the body and is now leaving. This is a very positive indication and when it no longer happens you know the system is ready to actively repair itself (because the stored trauma has been removed).

NOTE: Put VITAMIN E (from natural source 100 i.u. capsules- International Unit, a measure of liquid vitamins) on first if the skin is sensitive.

ARNICA herbal extract – is used to remove physical trauma and shock from the nervous system (use a smaller amount than the other herbs).

B. & N.C.-W – (Brain and Nerve Cocktail) herbal combination restores nerve function.

OL’#11 (OLD NUMBER 11, an herbal combination for repair) repairs all tissues of the body.

PEANUT OIL – restores the insulation to the nerves. (NOTE: Warm the oil in the hands before application. Obtain the oil from a health food store, so it does not contain preservatives, refrigerate the oil when not in use).

BLACK COHOSH herbal extract – removes viruses and poisons from the nervous system.

MUGWORT AND WORMSEED herbal combination – kills parasites which can damage the nervous system (viruses, bacteria, fungus or any other type of parasite).

BLACK WALNUT HULLS herbal extract – helps restore the electrical balance of the nervous system.

KLAMATH WEED herbal extract – helps to restore the electrical balance to the nervous system.

NOTE: If you feel the historically observed benefits of any other herb would be useful for you in the external application to the nervous system, please feel free to utilize it.

When using anything new on the body (soap, shampoo, herbs, etc.) always put a little on the skin as a test for how your body reacts to it. Wait a few minutes and if no reaction occurs, then proceed. There is nothing in the herbs that would cause an allergic reaction, however there is always the possibility of an atypical reaction. This is a reaction to your specific body, to a substance and not typical to others.

1. Herbs that historically eliminate yeast and fungus type problems are listed below:

A. Oil of Cajeput- herbal extract can usually remedy "candida yeast" type problems. Put three to four drops of Oil of Cajeput herbal extract on a little food and eat it three times a day.

B. Can-Sol- herbal combination can also be used to remedy "candida yeast" type problems and is especially helpful if a resistant strain is encountered. Use 80 drops three times per day and avoid sugars and starches.

C. Bee Propolis has historically been used with great success in handling all types of viruses, bacteria, funguses and microbes, even strains that are very resistant. Use 40 drops to two teaspoons of Bee Propolis herbal extract three times per day. Remember, the tougher the case, the larger the amount of Bee Propolis is used.

2. The role of B-complex in fighting fungus problems - Adelle Davis, noted U.S. nutritionist, ("Let's Eat Right", "Let's Have Healthy Children", etc.) successfully handled fungus type problems with large amounts of B-complex. Use Rice Bran extract or Brewer's Yeast extract, 80 drops to two teaspoons three times a day.

NOTE: In general, it has not been universally observed that eating foods that contain yeast such as bread or brewer's yeast promotes or causes "YEAST" type problems.

3. Bowel Management Program- Use a good bowel management program which produces at least three bowel movements per day. This will keep the bowel clean, as yeasts often "hang out" in this area and then migrate to other areas.

4. Avoid reinfection- If the sexual partner, wife or husband has a "candida yeast" type problem, it is likely that the partner will be a carrier. It would be wise for the partner to also use the herbs to eliminate the yeast problem.

5. Avoid meat products that were treated with antibiotics- Avoid meats where the animal was fed antibiotics as part of its feed. This generally includes anything except those meats labeled "organically raised" or at least those that are labeled "raised without antibiotics".

6. Avoid building up an intolerance to medical antibiotics (do not use them when they are not necessary) - Whenever possible, avoid the use of antibiotics. They are themselves, usually a fungus and will kill all bacteria, including the normal "friendly bacteria" in the large intestine.

A. When you use an antibiotic "fungus" to kill bacteria in the body, you kill the good and bad bacteria and establish a friendly environment for all "funguses". This encourages "candida yeast" type infections. To counteract the bad bacteria, use the suggestions in Point 7.A. of this paper.

B. Once all the bacteria are killed (good and bad), the harmful bacteria that normally reside in fecal waste matter, unless "good flora" are taken, will return in much greater numbers and faster than the good bacteria or "good flora" in the large intestine. See Point 7.A. in this paper to prevent this problem.

7. How to Supplement Nutritionally to Compensate During the Use of Medical Antibiotics- If there is a need for the use of medical antibiotics, it would be wise to supplement the body with large amounts of Vitamin-B Complex. Use Rice Bran herbal extract, 80 drops to two teaspoons three times per day.

A. You may also bring in Acidophilus, acid-loving "friendly bacteria", (good flora) from either one cup of whole milk yogurt per day (only the whole milk yogurt has the nutrients to support the acidophilus) or six to eight Acidophilus capsules with Lactose milk sugar added per day. Both can be found in health food stores. Many people allergic to milk products can tolerate this type of supplementation.

B. The result of not having "good flora" in the large intestine is the multiplication of putrefactive bacteria which produce terrible poisons that can be reabsorbed into the body, giving it a second problem. NOTE: By using whole milk yogurt daily, many people have noticed the putrefactive bacteria are squeezed out to the extent that the stool becomes almost odorless.

C. To antidote any poisons produced by putrefactive bacteria, and kill the bacteria, the following herbs may be used:

Bee Propolis- herbal extract is one of the strongest antibiotics in nature and can be used in large amounts by itself or along with the herbal combination C.C.E.-W (Cleansing Corrective Extract). Use 80 drops to one tablespoon of one or both every three to four hours during a crisis.

Golden Seal- herbal extract is also a tremendous antibiotic, but when using it, Vitamin-B Complex should also be taken, as the Golden Seal utilizes the Vitamin-B Complex in order to function as an antibiotic. Supplement with one to two teaspoons of Rice Bran herbal extract three times per day to compensate for this effect.

W.L.-S - is an approach to weight loss that has not been seen before. This herbal combination was originally designed to remove sulfur accumulations from the body which were distorting body functions. You may wonder how sulfur gets into the body and could play such a detrimental role. People who were given sulfa drugs as antibiotics may still have them accumulated in the body. Today, sulfur compounds are often used to bleach vegetable products, for a "pretty" color, to keep them from turning dark and to preserve meat products. It is even included by law in wines produced in the United States. Often shampoo and many cosmetics include sulfur. Sulfur from manufacturing processes enters the water supply and gets into the drinking water. These chemical sulfur compounds act as an irritant to living systems and also block many body functions including digestion. W.L.-S herbs, acting together, work as an antagonist to inorganic sulfur (chemical sulfur) and gently, but decidedly, flush it out. It was determined through this process of flushing inorganic sulfur from the system and keeping it out, a person can often regain health and in the process loose weight. From this we have a new approach to weight loss.

W.L.-S Contains: Chickweed, Blue Vervain, Greasewood, Bladderwrack, Capsicum and Dandelion Root.

Chickweed- heals and soothes irritated tissue on contact. It also a reputed fat dissolver.

Blue Vervain- recognized for re-establishing proper nerve function while at the same time calming over-excited nerves.

Greasewood- is probably the strongest and most concentrated of herbal cleaners for the liver, bone marrow, and glandular areas. Greasewood is a known dissolver of "bad cells".

Bladderwrack- sparks especially the functions of the thyroid gland at the base of the neck and its two helper glands, the parathyroids. This major gland governs the rate at which food is burned in the body. Calcium levels are regulated for relaxed nerves and muscles.

Capsicum- does rapidly re-establish circulation to any area in need of cleaning and oxygenation. It also acts as a catalyst herb (speeds up body chemistry without over exciting the nervous system).

Dandelion Root- provides correct natural sodium balance for blood stream health, proper stomach function and joint health.

SUGGESTED USE: Place into juice or water 40 drops to 1 tsp. 3 x's per day at a meal or more or as recommended by your natural health practitioner.

WHERE IT COMES FROM: West Nile Virus is a virus which means it is also a parasite. Birds get infected with it. When mosquitoes bite birds the mosquitoes become infected with it. Then when the infected mosquito bites a person or a horse or other warm blooded life form they can get sick from the virus. Before the virus came here through New York City in 1996, it was common to Africa and then moved into the warm areas around the Mediterranean ocean. Currently, as of August 26, 2002, West Nile Virus is in all the U.S states except for the western states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii according to the National Wildlife Health Center. It is now moving west with the birds and mosquitoes that have it.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET IT: The first signs of people with the virus is a rash and a headache and not feeling well. (Please keep in mind there are other things that can cause a rash, a headache and not feeling well to occur.) The rash may not be in the area where the mosquito bite occurred. As the "dis-ease" progresses, there can be a high fever, sensitivity to light and brain inflammation. Look for signs of a "stiff neck" and accompanying soreness. The end result of these poisons from the virus can be fatal to a person or a horse or other animal unless remedied.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT: The American Indian remedy for all kinds of "poisonous bites" and "fever" and "chills" and "stiff-sore-neck" was and is BLACK COHOSH.

EXTERNALLY: Apply liberally to the entire spine, neck, and temples as needed. Take care not to give a person a "chill" while doing this. If working with a horse, apply as close to the skin as you can. Apply from below the eyes down to the nose as well.

Other remedies of great assistance can be used in the same manner. INDIAN TOBACCO, VIRGINIA SNAKE ROOT, C.C.E.-W (Cleansing-Corrective-Extract) and MUGWORT & WORMSEED. If, needed or desired, all of these could be used one after the other.

INTERNALLY, to prevent a reaction to the mosquito bite, take 40 drops per meal of BLACK COHOSH and for children 10 drops per meal. This often prevents any adverse reaction if bitten.

A.F.-R-(Anti-Flu-Reuben) This combination comes to us from Amish Country in southern Indiana, where many esteemed herbalists practice. Reuben Schwartz has handed us this gift from nature and practice for easing and correcting the miseries of nasty, mean old, take you down and put you in bed type flu. This insightful combination of herbs energizes, nourishes and mobilizes all parts of the body’s immune system for rapid improvement and recovery from the "flu bug". With A.F.-R the flu season does not have to look so threatening.

Dose: Take 40 to 80 drops in water or juice at the first sign of the flu or cold. If in the grips of the flu or cold then 40 to 80 drops hourly, while awake, until well.

(Flu & Fever-Ford) The herb Wintergreen functions as a cooling, aromatic (having a scented character), pain and fever relieving decongestant and helps eliminate disgusting, infected mucus. Peppermint Oil, its partner, is another powerful aromatic oil with oxygenating, pain relieving and decongestant qualities. This antibiotic and cough remedy combination must be experienced to truly be appreciated. For more-or-less instant relief from the miserable feelings accompanying flu and fever try F. & F. Combination as a strong ally in your time of need.

Combination: Natural source Oils of Peppermint and Wintergreen, Golden Seal Root, Hyssop, Lemon Juice, Knitbone, Wild Cherry Bark.

(Flu, Vomiting and Earache) - Cleans stomach and ear areas and entire system of irritating debris and infected mucus, as well as providing a dependable antibiotic activity. Take 40 drops hourly, if needed, to alleviate suffering. With children and babies who need extra consideration with taste, apply F.V.E.-W 3 times per day, externally, around the ears, back of the neck, and all over the chest, in quantities needed to cover the areas. Repeat hourly if crisis. Swab ear canals with a Q-Tip (or Cotton Bud) with Vitamin E from capsules, then soak cotton balls with F.V.E.-W and insert into the ears for a time-release cleansing, antibiotic action. Change every 4 hrs. while awake, and otherwise leave in ears overnight. Prevent flu and cold by cleaning out accumulated mucus, settle the stomach and resume digestive function.

Obtained by bees from fluids from leaves, bark and flowers. A hard, gummy, resinous substance manufactured by bees as a glue to cap honey cells and attach their living quarters to solid objects. This "bee glue" is a powerful antibiotic and anti-putrefaction agent (coats and prevents dead and rotting cells from spreading in body so they can safely be removed). Can be used hourly as an antibiotic in severe cases to regain a foothold on life.

Dose: 20 to 40 drops three times per day or if no improvement, 40 drops per hour until better.

(Lungs, Allergies, and Sinuses-Jeanne Burgess) Horseradish is an excellent herb to clear out the breathing passages when congested and to counteract allergic reactions. The question is –how can it be taken or used? Of course, it can be ground into a pulp and eaten, or hold the head over the pulp and breathe in over the fresh pulp. For future use, the ground pulp can be kelp in a closed glass jar and refrigerated until needed. A liquid extract of Horseradish cannot capture its aromatic property. So, if you don’t always have fresh Horseradish around or a fresh, refrigerated jar to open, what do you do? The solution is to carefully dry the Horseradish, powder it and seal it up in a capsule. Then, when an attack occurs, it is available and ready in a convenient form. Once sheer desperation and necessity had introduced the accomplished American herbalist, Jeanne Burgess, to the relief given, by swallowing a spoonful of Japanese Horseradish while far from home and in the throws of a terrible allergic attack with breathing problems and swelling, she decided to share it with the world. It is from this experience, and its fortunate conclusion, that this Formula comes to us. Japanese Horseradish was added to the list of other established herbs, all of which, on their own, are known to help breathing problems and soothe allergic attacks. When an herbal combination of Japanese Horseradish and other herbs were joined, a powerful and reliable combination for quick relief of allergy attacks, swelling, pain and breathing problems resulted. And that is the story of the herbal combination L.A.S.-J.B. and friend of all those who need allergy relief.

Combination: Fennel, Japanese Horseradish, Marshmallow Root, Mullein, Fenugreek.

Dose: 1-3 Capsules, 3 times per day, or in case of an attack, 4-6 Capsules, and repeat as needed.

This is a quick acting, dramatically effective procedure for relief of headaches, cramping, arthritic discomfort, sports injuries, back discomfort, neck and shoulder tension, heart attacks, strokes and internal bleeding. To do this, two liquids are applied to the skin, one is Peppermint Oil, which is cool, and the second is a combination of herbs know as Herbal ADJ. which is not. The Peppermint Oil is applied first and the Herbal ADJ. second. The procedure of using these two liquids together is called an "Herbal Adjustment". In some cases, as given here, Herbal ADJ. is also taken internally and will be described individually. This procedure will not interfere with medication and will not make a person "groggy". Needles and injections are not used. HEADACHES AND TENSION – For headaches, apply 1st Peppermint Oil from the tip of the tailbone, up the spine, and on to the neck and the back of the head on the scalp and on up to the top of the head. Make the application about the width of the person’s hand. Next apply the two liquids to the temples and forehead. Have the person lean the head back so as to avoid getting any of the liquids in the eyes. (Should an accident occur, flush with water, remain calm and peace will return.) Also apply to any additional areas of the head which are hurting. Finally, apply in front of and behind the ears, down the neck on both sides and out to the shoulders. This complete application will have an effect on the entire nervous system of the body. The effects are quick and relief is swift. Repeat as needed. For additional help, if needed, put 40 to 80 drops of Herbal ADJ. in a cup of water and drink it down. Do not sip as it is hot and best to get it over with as soon as possible. If a mild headache is in progress usually an application of the two liquids to the temples, forehead and back of the neck are all that is needed for headache relief. CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS – The Herbal Adjustment liquids penetrate quickly into troubled areas. After application, the liquids at once relax the nerves and muscles which then allows the bones to go back into their proper place and the circulation resumes its normal function. In this way oxygenation and relaxation of cramping muscle pain is alleviated. The Herbal Adjustment liquids may be applied several times in extreme conditions and then repeated as needed. Do not get into eyes and wash hands after application. Application before a chiropractic adjustment makes for a very easy and quick adjustment. It will be noted the adjustment is speeded up and "sticks" (stays in place) far longer. ARTHRITIC DISCOMFORTS – For arthritic discomforts the two liquids are applied to the area as needed. CRAMPING AND MENSTRUAL CRAMPING – If cramping or menstrual cramping, apply the two liquids directly to the cramping area. If additional help is needed, put 40 drops of Herbal Adj. in a cup of water and drink it. (Herbal ADJ. will not stop a menstrual flow as it is a natural bleeding.) Repeat as necessary. HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND INTERNAL BLEEDING – To stop a heart attack, stroke or internal bleeding, put 40 or 80 drops of Herbal ADJ. in a cup of water and drink it. Also apply to chest and neck or other area of internal bleeding. Repeat as needed. SPORTS INJURIES – For sports injuries such as sprains, twists, bumps, bruises, torn tendons, ligaments, etc., apply Arnica to the area to take the physical shock out of the area, then Peppermint Oil and then Herbal ADJ. to the area for relief of pain and to correct the circulation. Then apply the repair formula Ol’ #11 (OLD NUMBER ELEVEN) to start the repair process. This is done as soon after the injury as possible. Repeat during the day every 3 to 4 hours as needed. However, it should not be thought that this procedure will not tackle chronic and old injuries with equal determination because it will. The night procedure for sports injuries is to open capsules of 100 i.u. Vitamin E (International Units, meaning a system of measurement for the amount of a liquid vitamin) and apply the oil to the injured area. Then soak cheese cloth or gauze with the repair formula Ol’ #11 and wrap the area with the cloth. The larger the wrap, the greater and quicker the effect. Wrap this then with plastic sandwich wrap and an additional cloth to hold everything in place for the night. This procedure forms a thermal and moisture barrier and time release effect during the night. The herbs are driven into the body, congestion is broken up, swelling reduced and function restored. There is a two way traffic flow here. Herbs are pushed into the body area and poisons are pulled up and sweated out of the body at the same time. The next morning, remove the application and discard the herbal cloth as it is spent and contains poisons. Wash the area and allow to dry. Note: This process of applying an herbal tea or herbal extract to the body soaked into cloth is know as a fomentation (foh’-men-tay-shun). For the daytime apply Arnica, Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. every 3 – 4 hours. Repeat this daytime and nighttime process until the area is repaired. DOSAGE: As given in the above work. Additionally, Herbal ADJ. can be given as part of a daily herb regimen to "spark" an herbal program and get it to work. 40 drops in a cup of water 1 – 4 times per day. NOTE: Just the Herbal ADJ. Combination is put in water to make the drink. If a Peppermint tea is desired, only 1 – 2 drops of the oil to a cup of water makes a good tea. CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIANS: When the area to be adjusted is too tense for the needed procedure, Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. applied to the spine, neck and shoulders rapidly relaxes the areas. Then minimal pressure is required to achieve remarkable results. MASSAGE THERAPISTS: Peppermint Oil and Herbal ADJ. applied to tense areas of the spine, neck, shoulder and other areas (avoid eyes, under arm and private areas) produce a warming and relaxing effect which makes therapeutic massage a very rewarding experience. SOURCES: Dr. Eugene C. Watkins, "Get Well With Natural Remedies;" Alma R. Hutchens, "Indian Herbalogy of North America;" Dr. John R. Christopher, "School of Natural Healing." Combination: Black Cohosh, Blue Vervain, Capsicum, Indian Tobacco, Siberian Ginseng.

E.-W (Eyes) - Eyes and visual machinery can be repaired. Increases circulation to eyes and optic nerve, retina and lens. Floods oxygen to the congested areas of the eyes. Pressure-causing sinus deposits are liquefied and strings of matter may be expelled from the eyes in the cleaning process. This is not an infection, but rather a cleaning of the material clogging up the circulatory and sinus passages around the eyes. Optic nerve reception is sharpened. A very serviceable eye wash can be made from 20 to 40 drops of E.-W in 1/2 cup of distilled water. Obtain a couple of plastic eye cups, fill with the dilution (the eye wash is best used when it is at room temperature to reduce stinging, which is a normal response as circulation improves), place over the eyes, lean the head back, and let them go swimming for 5 minutes, 3 times per day. Flutter the eyes around in the dilution. Flush out the congestion, revive the circulation to the eyes, improve the vision and flush out cataracts. If eye cups are unavailable, saturate two cotton balls with the dilution, hold over the upper bony ridge of the eyes and squeeze slightly so that drops can trickle into the eyes. Repeat until well. COMBINATION: Wood Betony, Eyebright, Bayberry. Dose: 10 to 40 drops after meals. Also rub 40 drops on the sides of the nose, over the upper cheek bones and on the temples and forehead, 3 times per day, and as given above.

E. & E.-B – (EYES AND EARS) Is designed with much care and understanding for the proper functioning of eyes and ears. This well studied and formulated combination was developed by the esteemed American Herbal Practitioner, Dr. William Horosh, to handle even the most difficult of eye and ear problems. Many different body systems are being worked on with this combination in E. & E. –B cont. - order to address a multitude of causes of eye and ear problems. In the process of this, attention is given to cleaning, nourishing, oxygenating, improving circulation, softening and reconditioning many different body structures. This is so much the case that E. & E. –B has also been used by practitioners to act as rejuvenation of body systems in general. COMBINATION: All Heal, Bilberry, Golden Seal, Gravel Root, Chickweed, Peach Leaf, Dandelion Leaf and Root, Purple Loosestrife, Eyebright, Wheat Germ, Ginger, Wood Betony. Dose: 40 to 80 drops, three times per day.

BILBERRY – (Huckleberry) In the 1920’s the discoverer of Vitamin C, Albert Giorgy, was concerned about the "spark of life" and where it came from. After years of careful research he concluded it was Vitamin C that put and kept the spark of life in the body. When food is eaten, Vitamin C is the substance that puts life back into the food to make it part of the body’s living tissue. We now know why Bilberries, Black Currents, Chippewa Pine and Wild Rose Hips are used for so many different conditions to recover good health. Bilberry is a good tasting berry that contains the much sought after natural Vitamin C. Natural Vitamin C is not just one vitamin it is many related Vitamins C’s. Therefore, we call it more properly, Vitamin C "complex". Chemical Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is just one synthetic type of Vitamin C. Bilberries contain all of this naturally occurring complex and the related substances found with it. The compounds Rutin, Hesperidin and Bioflavidnoids are found right along side the natural C "complex". These compounds are the "glue" that sticks your body together so it does not fall apart. Bilberries affect rapid repair of broken blood vessels and prevent them from breaking. Hence, you hear "take Bilberry to prevent bruising". The result of taking the natural C "complex" and related substances together as an extract is that of greater activity. They are far more active than a chemical Vitamin C and you don’t have to keep increasing the amount as with chemical Vitamin C to get the same effect. In fact, historical evidence shows, Bilberries have been gratefully acknowledged for a very impressive array of help. Bilberries cont. – Many are the conditions that fall within the influence of Bilberries. When we look at mineral sources, Bilberries are one of the highest known sources of the mineral zinc and provide a generous source of iron, manganese and selenium. Iron is required for energy, and both zinc and manganese are closely associated with production of healthy connective tissue. Selenium takes special care to ensure proper cell division and prevent harmful mutations. These prevented harmful mutations could very well have been cancerous or "bad cells". If not out-right cancerous cells, then they might have been of a type seen by the body as "foreign protein", and set off a war between the body’s immune system and this "foreign protein". This is the case with conditions like osteoarthritis and other auto-immune or allergic reactions where the body is fighting itself. According to current nutritional research, both zinc and selenium (from natural food sources) are active in ensuring proper cell division and the prevention of cancer cell formation. Bilberries are such a valuable source of so many essential mineral complexes, it is no wonder then, that a long list of healing actions have been recorded and attributed to this marvelous wild berry. Here is a partial list: Bilberries are a tonic (good for all body systems), strengthen and restore eyesight (it should be noted that many and persistent are the accounts of improvement in eyesight through the use of Bilberries, including correction of macular or "fine-focus" degeneration of the eye), correct tonsillitis, sore tongue, laryngitis, violent continuous diarrhea with blood loss, intestinal putrefaction, bowel disorders, act as a bowel regulator, mouthwash, gargle, discourage roundworms, and ease vomiting; apply directly for skin problems and inflamed gums; gastric colitis, water retention, typhoid fever, sore tongue with white patches, wound healing, rheumatism (sore joints), bladder problems, gravel in urinary system and mucus in breathing passages. All in all, a very impressive champion of good health. Bilberries blend in with the body’s natural functions to give them all a boost and herein lies their secret. Dose: 40 to 80 drops on or under the tongue three times per day or hourly if condition is severe.

This herbal gift comes to us from the native peoples high in the Andes mountains of Peru, South America. It is used both as a food and a medicine. When you live at such great heights in a harsh and challenging environment, you look for anything you can to help you develop the stamina to survive. The herb Maca figures prominently in the ability to master this struggle. The herb itself, Maca, is a hardy survivor of harsh growing conditions. It makes its home at heights between 9,000 to 14,500 feet. This is an area where the direct rays of the sun can hit plants (and people) without having been filtered through a cloud first. Where Maca is at home, many people would be clawing for a decent breath of air when they just try to move around. Thin, rocky soils dominate the landscape and fierce winds with biting cold can whip up out of nowhere. No other cultivated plant grows as high up as Maca. Maca has the ability to survive here where other plants perish. Perhaps for this reason, the native peoples of Peru who live there turned to this hardy member of the Nightshade Family of plants (familiar relatives are the potato, tomato, egg plant and tobacco) to find that it helps them survive as well. The Maca plant lies on the ground and looks a little like a flat-growing potato plant. It has ivory colored flowers and tubers (underground storage roots) resembling an upside down pear. This storage root is the part which is used after boiling it for five to six hours to harness its positive properties. Maca’s mature taste can be described as something like the taste of peanut brittle without the peanuts in it, or a type of bee pollen.

When we consider all the things Maca is traditionally relied upon to do, the best guess in figuring out how Maca works is that it nourishes the glandular control bridge of the brain (pituitary-hypothalamus-pineal-complex) and encourages it to work properly.

This control bridge then coordinates and encourages the function of all the other glands below the head. This action includes the glands of the body such as the ovaries, testes, adrenals, pancreas, thyroid, thymus etc. and they begin producing their hormones again. This is a far different approach than orthodox medicine's practice of dumping finished chemical hormones into the body, which may or may not be unbalanced, and cause the body’s glands to shrivel and stop any production of hormones that might be going on. We know that artificial chemical hormones can be a problem. Maca has been used, according to archaeological evidence in Peru, since probably 1600 years B.C. If there was any problem with it, we probably would have found out about it by now.

Many physicians of South America and Dr. Vianna Muller of New York in the U.S., find Maca especially useful for women to relieve the torments and suffering of menopause, sugar cravings and depression during and after menopause.

When Maca is given to men or animals fertility is increased and sexual function is strengthened. Yet when scientists examine Maca, they do not find it to contain hormones. They do find it to contain a class of chemical compounds known as glucosinolates, or more specifically, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyantate. These compounds are often associated with herbs know as aphrodisiacs.

Peruvian folk medicine describes the use of Maca to be for the following: For men and animals, increased fertility and increased sexual function. For women during menopause to relieve hot flashes, correction of menstrual disorders, for more youthful skin, improved sexual desire, normalizing vaginal lubrication and improved emotional balance. For both men and women: Energy and stamina, to correct anemia, to build immunity and improve memory.

Suggested traditional daily liquid Extract intake: 40 to 80 drops daily. In severely debilitated cases 1 tsp. 3 times per day.

Note: Some cleaning may occur as the glands are nourished and coordinated and encouraged to function again. If this occurs, then be sure to use Maca with a good bowel management herb or herbs to ensure at least 2 or more easy and complete bowel movements per day. Feelings of "nausea" can be prevented in this way.

SI.-W-(Sinus problems) SI.-W is a much relied upon and appreciated formula for sinus congestion and infections. Prevents sinus attacks. Rapidly opens breathing passages and restores breathing. When it comes to chronically (condition of long standing) blocked sinuses, the answer is to liquefy and drain. To dry up infected mucus in breathing passages merely adds another deposit to the previous layers of accumulated dried, infected mucus. This does not correct the problem. Each successive "sinus attack" is a desperate call for help from the sinus basin to be drained. SI.-W opens breathing passages and liquefies and drains sinus passages. SI.-W combines the qualities of a cooling, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, detergent team for relief of sinus anguish. 10 to 40 drops 3 times per day brings relief for breathing. To break loose old deposits may require several days or weeks at the rate of 40 drops, 3 times per day, but what else would you have been doing? As chronic dried, hard sinus deposits are liquefied, they come off layer by layer just as they were laid down. This may involve extensive drainage, and many colors of the expelled mucus may be exhibited in the process. Do Not mistake this for a sinus infection. It is not. This process of re-hydration takes time, but the results are worth it. Continue this process until the sinuses liquefy and finally drain all their old deposits, and the mucus turns clean. An interesting adjunctive use of SI.-W is for earache and ear infections where someone is recommending putting tubes in the ears to drain them. Swab the car canals with Vitamin E from 100 i.u.capsules to reduce any irritation. Then insert a cotton ball soaked with SI.-W into the each ear canal. This is a time-release, corrective antibiotic with a detergent effect to drain the middle ear into the mouth through the short tubes provided for that purpose, known as the Eustachian (U-stay-shun) tubes. Change the time-release cotton balls morning and night. Usually overnight or throughout the day is enough time for the SI.-W to clean the drain and get the plugs out of the tubes which empty into the mouth. Many recorded cases of hearing problems have cleared up with use of this procedure, when used for several days. Please note: Most sinus problems are caused by either of two problems. Incompletely digested food which forms irritants and causes the body to produce mucus to prevent irritation. Improper bowel management of less than one bowel movement per each meal. This causes the body to use emergency exits, such as the sinuses, lungs, ears, and throat to expel the wastes. Therefore, please use a digest-aid and a bowel maintenance program with the use of SI.-W to cut off the source of the sinus problems.

Combination: Bayberry, Golden Seal, Wood Betony, Gentian, Chickweed, Oregon Grape.

(Allergy, Emphysema, Asthma) Is a formula distinguished by its success. It was developed by the noted American herbalist and natural practitioner, Dr. William Horosh for alleviating adverse conditions which primarily attack the respiratory system and those who suffer from allergies. A.E.A.-B is in demand especially during the spring and late summer months when pollen, mold spores, dust and various types of debris are a plague to many. A.E.A.-B helps during the winter months, when the dry,

A.E.A.-B contains two lung herbs which immediately open breathing passages: Indian Tobacco and Ephedra. Indian Tobacco relaxes spastic airways and rids them of hard, dried mucus. The desert herb, Ephedra, works by actively opening respiratory channels and acting, in many ways, like a natural cortisone. Licorice Root nourishes the adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, so that they can make more than fifty different anti-stress compounds, including your own natural cortisone. The combination Herbal Adjustment, immediately increases circulation and thus, oxygenation and carries the other herbs of this combination into the tissues. Wild Rose Hips contain a complete form of natural Vitamin C which protects, repairs , prevents and corrects fragile capillaries (tiny, delicate, thin, "work horse" blood vessels which connect the arteries and veins and get blood down to the cellular levels). The lungs contain an army of these capillaries and it is here that oxygen is absorbed and the waste gas carbon dioxide is released. This produces the energy to power the process of life and for correction and refreshment of a tired and exhausted system.

Combination: Indian Tobacco, Herbal Adjustment, Ephedra, Wild Rose Hips, Licorice Root.

Dose: 40 to 80 drops as needed. As a maintenance, 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. A.E.A.-B can also be rubbed into the chest externally, front and back, several times per day for a continuing corrective action. After applying A.E.A.-B, place a cotton towel on the chest and wear a warm natural fiber garment. This helps to drive the herbs in and breaks loose dried and or congestive mucus. Note: Avoid contact with eyes, underarms and private areas. As it will cause a hot sensation due to the heat of Herbal Adj., a person might panic if they don’t know this. Have patience and calm will return.

Father Sebastian Kneip, renowned natural practitioner of the 19th century, said "when you pas among the sick, chew Juniper Berries". A natural immunity is provide by this wonderful and good tasting herb. The proof is that he and his staff were able to treat the sick and remain immune to their afflictions. Of course, Juniper Berries were also given to the sick so that they might recover, and recover they did, in legions. Marshmallow, Carpenter’s Square and Mullein have long been noted as the remedies for swollen glands of the neck, underarms, breast and reproductive areas. They provide a rapid and effective immunity for these areas. Sweet Root (Calamus Root) is the most prized remedy of the North American Indian Nation, the Chippewas, and was given to those who were called "hopeless". And they got well, even when it was a viral problem! Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla are not only poison antidotes for snake bite and venereal disease, they also neutralize all manner of poisons. Bacteria, viruses and fungus, including infectious yeasts, not only give off poisons that make you fee terrible, they also weaken you even more by attacking the immune system itself. Black Cohosh and Sarsaparilla handle this attack as well. Lapacho corrects inflammation of the reproductive organs and glands. The fact that the nutrition of some people is not just bad, it is appalling, makes a body which lacks tissue integrity and the perfect breeding ground for infections which roll over a feeble immune system that just cannot cope with the invasion. Reverse all this, eat decent food instead of "junk foods" and build your immune system so you can live well and without as much fear. Help your immune system and it will help you.

Combination: Juniper Berry, Mullein, Sweet Root, Carpenters’s Square, Black Cohosh, Sarsaparilla, Lapacho, Marshmallow.

Dose: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, to build active immunity. 20 to 40 drops per day as a maintenance.

Is a combination, blended together at the request of practitioners, of two potent antibiotic herbs. One very visual test of Golden Seal’s quick antibiotic abilities is when applied externally to clear up Impetigo (a highly contagious skin condition characterized by numerous "crops" of puss filled eruptions). Golden Seal is also noted for its ability to act as a catalyst, that is to say, an agent which can make something work better and faster, or slower if needed, without being changed permanently itself in the process. Golden Seal gets the best out of the other herbs it works with, as well as doing a first class job itself at the same time. Echinacea is also noted as a potent immune system builder, as well as a surgeon without a knife. Echinacea, in this respect, works very well on even chronic swellings and old walled-off conditions such as cysts. Be sure to use a bowel maintenance program with Echinacea or Echinacea combinations as it is very necessary to be able to empty the wastes that are being cut loose, otherwise nausea can occur. When giving Golden Seal for an extended period of time, be sure to give a B-Complex source as well, such as 80 drops of Rice Bran Extract 3 times per day, or a cup of regular milk yogurt, as Golden Seal may also kill the "friendly bacteria" that normally live in a healthy bowel and produce B-Complex. When Echinacea does its work, as the surgeon without a knife, to rid the body of old walled off debris or cysts or just debris, the bowels must be open to prevent a "sick feeling".

Dose: Internally, 40 drops, 3 times per day. Externally, apply to the troubled area as needed. For cyst, apply directly to the skin, Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules (International Unit, i.u., a measure of liquid vitamins), Oil of Cajeput, and Herbal Adj. Then, saturate a single layer of absorbent gauze or natural fiber cheese cloth and lay this over the troubled area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and fix in place for overnight. The next morning, remove the application and discard it. Wash the area and allow to dry. Then, repeat this procedure for the daytime. Repeat until well.

When an ordinary, infertile worker bee is chosen to become a Queen, the community pools its best nutritional and hormonal resources and produces a very special liquid called Royal Jelly. This highly prized, special food not only provides a much longer life span, along with this comes greater size, strength and a retractable, reusable stinger. Royal Jelly also imparts a life vigor capable of sustaining phenomenal and continued fertility. This is the best the group has to offer. The normal young bee is fed this Royal Jelly and develops into a Queen. With the Queen rides the promise for future generations and survival of the group. Women especially, and also men, are very pleased with the external use of Royal Jelly to the skin after cleansing or shaving.

Most people experience a stinging sensation when touching fresh Nettle leaves. After soaking the leaves in water for a few hours they lose their sting, but they do impart, to the water, a beautiful astringent quality. After shaving or as a facial, Nettle provides a marvelous antiseptic service and functions as a skin toner. On further examination of Nettle we find the properties necessary to correct the miseries of bladder inflammation, dizziness, spleen and lymphatic problems, liver and yes, end the "heartbreak of seborrhea, eczema, and psoriasis". Part of Nettle’s corrective powers are due to the presence of a rich source of the mineral element chromium which is essential for the pancreas to produce and utilize the hormone insulin. To restore hair color, the extract is massaged nightly into the scalp. For weight loss, Nettle is combined half and half with Bladderwrack, 40 drops of the mixture three to four times per day. It is now known that Nettle contains a generous supply of the easily absorbable minerals of calcium and magnesium. These mineral properties alone can help explain the remaining functions of Nettle. Number one, Nettle can help nursing mothers to start the flow of milk and continue it, and expect themselves and baby to be calm and free of cramping. Number two, Nettle, by itself, can be very useful to clean painful acids from muscles, joints and kidneys and thus, obtain much comfort for the sufferer.

Dose: 40 drops, three to four times per day. Externally, as needed to cover the area generously, three to four times per day, or more often if itching is involved.

Herbal Extracts are an herbal food, or combination of foods, diluted in liquids such as distilled water and ethanol, that may be used as a "natural medicine." Natural ethanol is an alcohol commonly distilled from grain and is also known as neutral alcohol. Synthetic ethanol is made from an explosive, inflammable, compound know as acetylene gas. It is cheap, "lifeless" and un-natural and should not be used in making herbal extracts.

A frequently asked question is what herbal extracts are and why do they contain a natural or neutral alcohol. Herbal extracts are herbal plant foods that have been diluted in a liquid that dissolves and or suspends them. They are "natural medicines."

An herbal extract can be made with something which allows an herb to dissolve in it. This can include most common liquids, such as distilled water, vinegar, wine, glycerin (sugar and fat compound most commonly derived from animal tissue) or a neutral alcohol. When you put an herbal tea bag into a cup of hot water, the color, taste, and aroma which dissolve into the water make an herbal extract (or water extract). However, some parts of the herb in the tea bag do not dissolve in water. Water will not dissolve the oily, waxy, detergent, enzymatic or hormonal content of the herb. Vinegar, wine and glycerin will dissolve a small amount of this.

The fact is, a combination of distilled water and a neutral alcohol is the best fluid known for dissolving all parts of an herb. A water and neutral alcohol extract provide an herbal food in a "predigested" form. It should be noted that when you get the full strength of an herbal food, a little goes a long way. So don’t overeat. This is a "natural medicine" made from an herbal food. The concept of moderation is the key. Extracts are intended to be used to supplement the diet with herbal foods in an easily absorbable form. Most people are not even aware that they may be carrying around as much as ten pounds of rather disgusting debris coating the surfaces of their digestive canal: stomach, small and large intestines. This debris forms a barrier between the food which is eaten and the absorption of the needed nutrition. This means the digestive system needs some help. When you take a look at the digestive canal of the adult, you see a tube or pipe about 26 feet long which is often clogged or very slow to empty due to debris or worse yet, if not eliminated, this putrid barrier film can itself be constantly reabsorbed back into the body. Not only is this barrier of debris bad for absorption of commonly eaten foods, but also herbal powders, herbal powders in capsules, herbal pills, and vitamin tablets. An efficient method is needed to get herbal foods absorbed through this barrier film and dissolve the barrier itself. Otherwise, herbs will not nourish and act like the health food books say they should. Herbal extracts solve this puzzle. Not only can they cross the debris barrier, they do so rapidly and help to dissolve the barrier in the process. This eliminates the problem of having to take "114 tablets and capsules per day to finally get something through the debris barrier and dissolve it". As a matter of fact, an herbal extract can be applied externally right over the area where required. This, of course, would be difficult to do with a capsule of powdered herbs or a tablet.

Depending on the quantity, a neutral alcohol performs different functions when introduced into or put on the body. In minute quantities (drops), it acts as a carrier for whatever is dissolved in it. The water, herb(s) and alcohol in a finished product form an association or complex which can actually show up as a lower amount of alcohol than you started with. The dissolved herbal food substances in this kind of liquid are very easily absorbed by the body. In larger quantities, alcohol acts as a stimulant. By the glassful, alcohol acts as a depressant to body functions and an intoxicant. This constitutes abuse rather than use. A person can tell the difference.

Dr. William Donald Kelly, author of many books on natural ways to become more healthy, tells us that the human pancreas (principal digestive organ of the body) actually produces a small amount of a natural, neutral (ethanol) alcohol on a constant basis so that we will not freeze. As a further observation, most mouthwashes and deodorants utilize a fairly high percentage of alcohol which acts as a carrier for mouth and breath cleansing substances or deodorant. In many cases, these are extracts of cleansing and aromatic substances. The alcohol acts as a carrier. If a person can use a mouthwash or underarm deodorant, they can probably use an herbal extract without a problem. If they cannot use them without a problem, then they should probably use capsules, tablets or teas.

A fair question might be how much neutral alcohol should an extract contain? Roughly, a mixture of one-third neutral alcohol and two-thirds distilled water will dissolve enough of the herb so that a person gets the proper nourishment in a few drops of the extract. When you add more distilled water, then you need more extract to do the same thing. An extract could be made with so much distilled water that you would have to consume bottles of the extract.

SPORTS CREAM PLUS

TESTIMONIALS

"I am 77 years old, and have suffered with Rheumatoid Arthritis for quite some time. I am very pleased with the sports cream. I use the cream every morning and before going to bed each night. The warmth of the cream relieves the pain. Not only does the cream absorb nicely, it has a very pleasant aroma". M.H. Warren, Michigan

"I had back surgery 2 months ago. I have been in discomfort since. I am forced to wear 2 kinds of braces, depending on my activities, which are very limited. I was given a sample of the cream, which was rubbed on my back. To my amazement, within minutes the pressure I had been experiencing in my back from the braces and surgery was gone. I am very pleased with the Sports Cream Plus. It is the only thing that has helped loosen the muscle spasms in my back, along with the pain". J. Latta

"I had surgery on a ruptured disk three years ago. I was still experiencing hot spots in my left leg along with throbbing in my knees. I even had shots of cortisone to relieve these conditions, it only helped a little. As time passed, it became more aggravating. I was given this cream to try. To my amazement, it made the hot spots from the nerve damage go away. My knees felt so great when I got up for work in the morning and it lasted the whole day. I use the cream as often as I need it and it really makes a difference as to how I feel. It seems I can go more and more between days without using the cream as often. A year ago I broke my arm. On rainy days it will ache, so I apply the cream and it brings immediate relief". L. Kuslak

" Thank you for allowing me to try your new product. I'm 52 years old and have acne. I have had this problem all my life. I was very pleasantly surprised when, after only one application, I had no new outbreaks. I have used your new product now for one week and my face is clear. If you have never had acne, you don't know how good this makes me feel. I only wish this product had been around when my 4 boys were growing up. Teenage acne was hard on the whole family. I applied Sports Cream Plus every night about 9 o'clock for 7 days. There is a tingling sensation for about twenty minutes. I have had no redness or irritation. Please let me know when I can purchase this product". A.M.H.

A & D VITAMINS (FROM FISH OIL) GEL CAPS

Vitamin A is an oil-based compound found in completed form in animal structures, most notably in fish oils, with its companion vitamin, Vitamin D. It is essential to life. That is to say, a body can not get along without it.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Vitamin A cleans all hollow organs whether it comes from a plant or an animal source. It" sweeps out" the dead cells, dirty mucus and congestive accumulation from all hollow organs. Examples of hollow organs are blood vessels, lymph vessels, (the body's other circulatory system which carries a clear or straw colored liquid, that contains more fluid than the blood. It is essentially "filtered blood" and thinner blood (that goes where the blood can't and does much the same thing as the blood), in the brain and spinal fluid channel, sinuses, gall bladder, circulatory pathways of the eyes, brain, lungs, the urinary bladder, kidneys, reproductive areas, intestines and on and on. Vitamin A also plays a vital role in skin health. Its effect is much the same as an antibiotic to protect the skin. It contributes to the skin you love to touch. Continued use of sufficient Vitamin A casts congestive impurities out of the skin from head to foot. Do not be alarmed when this happens. Rejoice! After this, healthy new skin can be produced and the normal amount of oils are seen. This may take four months or more, but what would you have been doing?

NOTE: The benefits of Vitamin A, as well as other oily vitamins such as D and E, can be enjoyed more quickly if applied directly to the skin if there is a problem absorbing it from the digestive system or if there are problems of the skin. CAUTION: When taking Vitamin A or any other vitamin, consult your doctor or health care provider before using, especially when using a therapeutic amount, as experiments with synthetic Vitamin A have shown it can be toxic.

VITAMIN D

Vitamin D is often called the "Sunshine Vitamin". The skin can manufacture Vitamin D if enough sunlight falls on it without a sun blocker, or bathing immediately after exposure to the sun. Since it is an oily vitamin, when taken internally as a supplement, it needs to be taken, with a natural oil of vegetable or animal source so it can be dissolved and absorbed. An excellent source of Vitamin D and Vitamin A is fish oil, where they are found naturally together.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for health skin, strong bones, healthy joints and teeth. Now look around you at the condition of those body structures of most people and see if you think they get enough of it. Vitamin D and the thyroid gland work together. The result is that the mineral Calcium can be absorbed, and the nerves are calmed. This same combination of Vitamin D, along with the thyroid gland, ensures the normal amount of the mineral Calcium in the blood, bones and joints. You can at once see how important it is to keep Calcium in the bones and blood where it belongs, and not have it leak out or accumulate in the joints. If it is in the joints already, you want to halt the process while the body returns the Calcium to its proper place. Calcium in the blood is also necessary for blood to clot properly when there is a cut.

NOTE: Vitamin D, and its companion Vitamin A, can be applied directly for rapid results to the troubled area if there is a problem absorbing it from the digestive system.

CAUTION: When taking Vitamin D or any other vitamin, consult your doctor or health care provider before using; especially, when using a therapeutic amount, as experiments with synthetic Vitamin D have shown it can be toxic.

ADULT DOSE: (1) Capsule per day or advised by your doctor or health care provider.
