A.-W (Arthritis) - An answer to the hopeless torment known to millions upon millions of people around the world awaits in this combination, for it relieves, corrects and heals, (no matter what the person's age) the sore joints and muscles of arthritis and rheumatism sufferers. COMBINATION: Alfalfa, Juniper Berry, Dandelion Root, Oregon, Grape, Echinacea, Knitbone (Comfrey), Wild Rose Hips, Ephedra. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops after meals (3 times per day). Also rub on affected areas. A.E.A.-B (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, stale air of artificial heating is constantly re-circulated and aggravates breathing problems. 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 passageways 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 two dozen different anti-stress compounds, including your own natural cortisone. The combination, Herbal Adj. (Herbal Adjustment, SEE: Herbal Adj.), within this combination, 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: When using A.E.A.-B avoid contact with eyes, underarm and private areas. If an accident, no permanent damage is known to occur, but there is the sensation of great heat due to the Herbal Adj. portion of this formula and a person might panic if they don't know this. Have patience and calm will return. 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 the bed" type flu. This insightful combination of herbs energizes, nourishes and mobilizes all parts of the body's immune system for rapid attack and recovery from the "flu bug". With A.F.-R the flu season does not have to look so threatening. COMBINATION: Herbal Adj., Golden Seal, Wild Rose Hips, Una De Gato 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. A.G.-W (Anti-gas) - Many people have gas problems and don't know it. Many people have gas problems and do know it. Yes, it is possible to have chest pains and pressures in the chest from gas below the diaphragm muscle pushing up on the heart and lungs and irritating them until a condition is caused. When people experience "bloat" it is not always water retention, just as often it is trapped gas. A Colonic Therapist ( a trained practitioner who assists you to bathe the colon or large intestine internally) knows what problems you can experience trying to get a pocket of gas out of the way so the water and waste material can move in the direction they should. A colonic bath goes much smoother without trapped gas. A.G.-W brings you relief within seconds or minutes so you may wish to be alone when you try it. You may be surprised. COMBINATION: Ginger, Fennel, Catnip, Angelica, Peppermint Leaves. DOSE: 20 to 40 drops on or under the tongue or in water. For babies with colic (gas pains), rub 5 to 10 drops, as needed, on the tummy under the ribs. A.I.F.-T (Anti-Inflammatory Formula) Tamara Gordiyenko put together this formula to subdue inflammations and irritations from toxic, bacterial, chemical, or mechanical injuries; also for relief of sinus congestion. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra L.) is nutritive, demulcent, expectorant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic, (cleans the liver) and mildly laxative. It invigorates the vital energy. Its sweet agreeable taste can mask the disagreeable taste of many acrid or bitter herbs. Its demulcent properties soothe inflammation of the mucous membranes of the throat, bronchi, lungs, and the urinary & gastrointestinal tracts. It is an excellent expectorant which loosens phlegm and relieves bronchitis, coughs, and asthma, and soothes irritation/ pain of the intestines, as in diarrhea. Chamomile is a mild sedative, which has anti-inflammatory properties. It gives a person calm feeling without itself becoming an addiction. In liquid form it is used for bruises, sprains and as a preventive of gangrene. It has been used since Roman times with no recorded ill effects. Calendula (Wild Marigold) heals with speed and relieves internal and external inflammation. It is used externally for bee stings, skin disease, wounds, and varicose veins. Its oil is used for ear aches. As an extract, it is applied to bruises and sprains, and can be diluted and sniffed up the nose. It is a good first aid remedy. St. John's Wort is used as an astringent and anti-inflammatory (in stomatology), and also for resolving abscess, phlegm, infected wounds, and burns. In popular medicine it is used to treat the respiratory system, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. In addition, it is used for treatment of neuralgia, paralysis, hysterics, epilepsy, and nervous exhaustion. Sage (Salvia Officinalis L.)- is an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory herb. It lowers blood sugar levels and stimulates stomach acid production. COMBINATION: Licorice Root, Sage, Chamomile, Calendula, St. John's Wort. DOSE: Orally, start with 20 drops (3) times per day. After a week, increase the dose to 30-40 drops (3) times a day if needed. The extract can be applied directly on the affected area (skin, throat) with a spray bottle. For children, follow the usual protocol of one drop per pound divided into three equal doses. A.M.F.-W - (ANIMAL MAINTENANCE FORMULA), We are not alone in requiring help from the herbal kingdom. Our animal friends, and those animals in our care, deserve their consideration too. Most animals will actively seek out and use the herbal additions to their diet when they feel something is needed to make them well. It is for us to recognize this and make the herbs available. In general, the herbs can be used for about the same purposes and in the same ways as for people. The native American peoples learned much about the use of herbs by watching animals. Animal Maintenance Formula combines the same high quality herbs as those for people. A.M.F.-W is designed to meet the complete normal needs for natural vitamins, minerals and trace elements for our animal friends. Additionally, to ensure proper oxygenation of tissues and extra care for the lungs, Mullein and Blessed Thistle are included. Gentian strengthens and assists the digestive system. Siberian Ginseng is present to provide assistance for the adrenal glands (one on top of each kidney, anti-stress and energy glands) to counteract both physical and nerve stress and provide stamina. Ol'# 11 on its own is a repair formula for any problem of bone, flesh, cartilage and nerves. (It can be taken by itself for that purpose, if needed.) Ol' # 11 is included here as a maintenance of those structures. Preventing problems is a good idea too. Mugwort provides protection against many forms of parasites and also improves the digestion. (SEE: A.C.S., VITA-LIXIR, OL'#11) COMBINATION: A.C.S. (All Cells "Salts" All vegetable source Minerals), Vita-Lixir (All vegetable source multi-vitamin formula), Mullein, Blessed Thistle, Gentian, Siberian Ginseng, Ol'#11, Mugwort. DOSE: Depends on the size of the animal friend and the severity of the case. Normally, we think in terms of 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day, for an adult person with the theoretical weight of 150 lb.s (a little over 68 Kilograms) as a starting point and increase if necessary. This can provide a general guide. If A.M.F.-W is used for therapeutic purposes and the problem is severe, within reason, let the animal follow its own inclination about amounts and offer the liquid more frequently. As to how to give it, usually mixed with the animal's favorite food or drinking water is a good idea. With cats, the problem can be approached by simply applying the extract to the fur in an area which the cat can reach easily. As solitary hunters, cats are obligated to lick themselves scentless to avoid detection, so they will lick the herbs from their coat. A.P.-W (Anti-Plague) - Builds immunity. "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" is the line from a song from a young man who wants to meet a young lady at a fair. She was frightened to be in a public place because of the "plague". He reminds her there is no fear for we have these four herbs to prevent illness, and expresses his hopes to meet her there after all. It is interesting to note these four herbs were also added to meat long ago, not just for flavoring or as we hear today from the ill informed, "to cover up rancidity", but to preserve the meat. They do, indeed, exhibit antibiotic properties. These antibiotic properties also protected a band of thieves so well during the plague, they could rob the dead without fear of contagion. Upon apprehension and recovery of the loot, they were given the choice of telling their secret or death. They decided to share their secret. Their mixture of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in an oil base came to be know as the "Ointment of the 4 Thieves". Take A.P.-W if others are sick around you. Take to build your own immunity. An interesting use of A.P.-W is that of a deodorant. It is, after all, antibiotic and natural and interesting in character. Spray under arm, full strength, with a perfume atomizer (spray bottle which makes a fine mist) as needed. COMBINATION: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme. DOSE: 40 drops per meal to build immunity. If crisis, 40 drops, hourly while awake, until well. B.& B.-W (Brain and Balance) - Excellent nervine to calm and repair nerves. To work on earaches, ear problems, balance and repairing nerve tissue or to bring a person out of a coma, swab the ears with Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules (International Unit, a measure of liquid vitamins) then insert a cotton ball into each ear soaked with ˝ Garlic Extract and ˝ B.& B.-W. Change every 3 hrs. during the day and each morning and night. Repeat until the condition is corrected. This procedure can also be used in cases of the dis-eases: multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, Parkinson's and related conditions. COMBINATION: Blue Vervain, Blue Cohosh, Black Cohosh, Scullcap, Indian Tobacco. DOSE: Internally, 10 to 40 drops, 3 to 4 times per day, and as given above. B.C.-W (Blood Cleaner) - The longest river in the world resides within your body. It is a living river. It is called the blood stream. Longer than all the major rivers of the Earth put together, this mighty torrent serves you by cooling and warming the body, providing oxygen and food to the cells and carrying away carbon dioxide, urea, acids, "ashes", wornout cells and outright trash that collects from inactivity. It is really the life stream of the body. Sometimes, however, this river becomes polluted with the very wastes it tries to carry away or additives or environmental poisons that have found their way into our river. Additionally, we not only have air and water pollution, we also have food, soil and drug (medications included) pollution. These wind up in the body and lead to "body pollution". To survive and function properly, the blood and the blood vessels (channels and branches of the river) must be cleaned and flushed out through the bowels and kidneys. Think of it, the cleaner you get the blood, the cleaner everything it touches gets and the healthier you get. And the healthier you get, the healthier you get. In a healthy, moving blood stream there is no stagnant place for a degenerative dis-ease, or germ or virus or fungus to find a home. Drugs pollute us and chemicals in our food and drink make us sick. Poisons sprayed on our food crops pollute us. B.C.-W combines the best of the known blood cleaning herbs for your protection and peace of mind. Put the protective cleaners on you side for the body your want today and tomorrow. COMBINATION: Yellow Dock, Burdock, Greasewood (Chaparral) Red Clover, Dandelion Root, Barberry, Yarrow, Sarsaparilla, Gentian, Black Cohosh. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. Take with a good bowel program to produce 2, and preferably 3, bowel movements per day to handle the extra refuse and prevent that "sick feeling" as the wastes are being removed. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn) Also make sure to have at least 2 quarts (or 2 liters) of fluids per day, such as diluted unsweetened apple, grape, carrot, or cherry juice, or a good mineral water to flush the kidneys. B.& N.C.-W (Brain and Nerve Cocktail) - Use to feed and repair the glands in the brain, (pituitary, pineal and hypothalmus, as well as the brain itself) and the autonomic nervous system (involuntary nervous system composed of its two divisions, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems). In the eye, the autonomic nervous system is shown as a ring (the "autonomic nerve wreath") about a third of the way out from the pupil toward the edge of the iris (brown or blue part of the eye). This combination of herbs provides Alfalfa to clean and feed the pituitary, Barberry for the hypothalmus, Chamomile for the pineal gland, Gotu Kola (does not contain caffeine) for the entire brain and memory, Parsley for the involuntary nervous system and Black Walnut with its cleaning and corrective electrical properties for all of the nerve tissues. If you don't know what else to do, clean the blood and the bowel. Clean and nourish the nervous system and repair it at the same time. The brain and nervous system function better when they are clean and nourished. You feel better. People seldom eat any food for the purpose of a body part or parts. They eat their food with their tongues and eyes. You can be different and consciously eat something just for your brain and nerves. B.& N.C.-W can also be of assistance in getting off of drugs. COMBINATION: Alfalfa, Parsley, Chamomile, Gotu Kola, Barberry, Black Walnut. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. Also rub on temples, around the ears and back of the neck in quantities needed, 3 times per day. B.P.-W (Blood Purifier) - The combination effect of some herbal combinations is comparable to beautiful music played with all the necessary elements of harmony, rhythm and melody. The herbs blend and support each other and become much more than each separately. Such a combination is B.P.-W. Here the combined attention is to provide the strength to clean and normalize the blood stream. It cleans out anything touched by the blood, whether it be cancerous cells, tumors, yeasts and other types of fungus, germs, virus organisms, floating trash, irritating acid crystals, urea and heavy metals. B.P.-W also provides nourishment for the red and white blood cells as well as the bone marrow. B.P.-W can be taken with confidence to provide a generous supply of organic iron and rejuvenating materials. NOTE: B.P.-W has a companion formula known as B.C.-W (Blood Cleaner). It is a matter of practitioners choice as to which is chosen for cleaning. Both are excellent blood cleaners. B.P.-W leans a little more toward also getting glandular areas to give up their poisons, whereas B.C.-W leans a little more toward also getting the organs to give up their poisons, but both will do a fine job of cleaning. In the process, many dis-eases just can't stay in the body. COMBINATION: Peach Leaf, Stillingia, Red Clover, Bee Pollen, Greasewood (Chaparral), Buckthorn, Inkberry (PokeRoot), Prickly Ash. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. More can be taken, if needed, once accustomed to its effects. Take with a good bowel program to produce at least 2, and preferably 3, bowel movements per day. This handles the increased evacuation of poisons and prevents "sick feeling" when cleaning the blood. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn) CA.-W (Calcium) - Calcium, is the vital link in the chain of nutrients required for a healthy body with calm nerves and strong bones. Without it a person may experience "cold sweats", teeth that hurt, pounding or irregular heart beat, ringing in the ears, muscle cramps, bones that become like lace (porous) and crumble. Press the tip of the breast bone at the bottom where the ribs come together and see if it hurts. If so, you can be assured you lack Calcium. The more sensitive, the greater the problem. Do not despair. Nature has provided the rescuer. Bones were not meant to become weaker with age. Every year an animal lives in the wild, eating its normal diet, its bones become stronger. Did you ever see a cow or a deer with arthritis? Cows and deer have incredibly strong bones to support great weight or take the pounding of swift flight from danger or the sheer pleasure of freedom that comes to those that can tirelessly run like the wind. Calcium, for them, comes from plants. Now you can have that calcium too - without having to chew all day to get it. Horsetail and Oat Straw are included in this combination for the unusual properties of containing an element named Silicon rather than Calcium. It is not supposed to be possible, according to scientists, to change one element to another without a thermonuclear explosion, but some body types can, apparnently, change one element into another, as in the case of changing Silicon into Calcium. Experiments run with chickens, where all the dietary intake of Calcium was carefully monitored and measured, even the Calcium in their drinking water, showed increased eggshell production and increased bone density when Silicon was added to their diet. They did not get enough Calcium to do that. That is not possible, but then the chickens did not know that. Perhaps there was something about a goose that laid a golden egg. At any rate, some people who have difficulty assimilating enough Calcium to repair a broken leg, do get the that broken leg fixed with Calcium filling in the break by taking an herbal Silicon source. CA.-W provides dietary calcium and Silicon from active vegetables sources. COMBINATION: Horsetail, Oat Straw, Knitbone, Dulse, Dandelion Leaf, Red Raspberry Leaf, Indian Tobacco. DOSE: 20 to 40 drops, 3 times per day. In a broken bone or if severely deficient, then 80 drops, 3 times per day. C.C.-W (Coughs & Colds) - Sage has an antiseptic effect for sore throats and even abscesses in the throat. A person can gargle with the extract full strength, or "mist" the extract directly into the affected area with a spray bottle or perfume atomizer, as needed. Or, better yet, it can be combined with other herbs that accentuate its strength. Eucalyptus or "gum trees", as they are called where they grow natively in Australia and New Zealand, provide us with a bark that combines well with Sage. Eucalyptus combines both the attributes of an antibiotic and antiseptic for troubles of the lungs and skin. It is a specific for the "dry spot" behind the nose and in the throat which often accompanies a miserable cold and cough. Bistort is a true blood purifier and poison antidote for the removal of the poisons the cold and cough are trying to eliminate. This shortens and reduces the time of suffering. Horehound is an old pioneer remedy. It is an expectorant; that is, it loosens mucus and phlegm. This is one member of the mint family that does not taste like a typical mint. You just have to taste it to properly appreciate the power of a medicinal mint. Horehound also allays pain and repairs deteriorated lungs. Horehound is an important antidote to neutralize the "internal venom" build up in the body which must be washed out in the infected mucus. Wild Cherry Bark, from the inner bark of the wild cherry tree, is one of the most used and heavily valued botanical medicines of the North American Chippewa Indian Nation. It is used for the entire respiratory system. Wild Cherry Bark loosens phlegm and breaks up congestion even in the most debilitated conditions. Its relaxing action on the respiratory system calms irritated nerves and reduces excessive burning or acid backed up into the throat. Wild Cherry Bark is also a valuable remedy for anorexia (ann'-oh-rex-ee-uh), a condition of wasting away where the person can not or will not eat. The herbs in this faithful, reliable combination work together as a powerful weapon in your armament against the sufferings of coughs and colds. COMBINATION: Sage, Eucalyptus, Bistort, Horehound, Wild Cherry Bark. DOSE: 20 to 40 drops every three to four hours, or 40 drops hourly, as needed. In severe, acute cases, take hourly with a cup of either diluted unsweetened apple juice or dark cherry juice. Also, rub full strength on throat, chest and back, hourly. Can also be used full strength, as a gargle for infected sore throats or misted into the throat with a gentle sprayer such as a perfume atomizer. For less severe cases gargle or spray in a diluted form. Use in a ratio of 40 drops to one ounce of water. If anorexia, then 40 drops every three hours, while awake, until well. C.C.E.-W (Cleansing Corrective Extract) - BASIS FOR ALL NUTRITIONAL PROGRAMS; cleans blood, bowel, nerves and repairs them. It is a life extender. C.C.E.-W is an antibiotic, a poison antidote, and an outright corrective for numerous common and many baffling types of conditions. Its antibiotic activity is excellent. Poison antidote for bee stings and insects. Take internally and apply externally, as needed. For severe itching conditions, such as chicken pox, paint C.C. E.-W on the areas with a Q-Tip or Cotton Bud to relieve the torment. Also, take for allergic reactions. For emergencies, or in a crisis condition, ˝ ounce (1 standard measure Tablespoonfull) can be taken at once. If a flu is threatening, take 1 Tbl. to prevent it or if it is in full progress, take 1 Tbl. full every four hours, while awake, until the symptoms go away and stay away and get through the flu in record time. It would be unusual to have to take C.C. E.-W more than 3 times in one day. Many times, in the early stages of a flu, 1 Tbl. will just wipe it out. If needed to counteract a persistent threat, take 1 Tbl., or more, until the flu no longer threatens. If a baby or small child objects to the taste, or if the person is bedridden and cannot take by mouth, then rub in sufficient quantity to cover the entire abdomen instead of taking internally. Please Note: you will clean out large quantities of solid and liquid wastes, rapidly, which are the cause of the flu. Every time you flush these wastes away you can see what was tormenting the body and causing the flu. C.C.E.-W is also an excellent daily regimen to keep the body clean and avoid many kinds of problems. C.C.E.-W is normally taken daily, such as each night, as part of a bowel maintenance program. Take (mercifully in juice) each evening in sufficient quantity to produce at least 2, and preferably 3, bowel movements per day. This may not be a "civilized" idea, but is a good health idea and "good habit". In so called primitive societies, where there are an abundance of natural foods and fiber, there are (on an average) 3 bowel movements per 24 hrs. In these societies, they simply do not have many of the "dis-eases" we suffer from in modern "civilized society": the hemorrhoids, the skin conditions, hypertension, the allergies, the etc., etc., etc.. They don't even have names for them. The concept here is, when you put something into the body, then you should evacuate something so the wastes do not back up and cause a breeding ground for putrefaction and "dis-eases". By observation of healthy functioning systems, such as with a new born baby (unpolluted by junk food), if you feed the baby, then be prepared to diaper at the same time, or if you feed the dog (unless you feed him the same kind of food you are eating) then you must be prepared to walk the dog. If there are 3 meals per day then we want 3 bowel movements per day. Then, most of the hysterectomies, prostate operations, yeast miseries, bowel cancers, eczema, psoriasis, parasite problems and fully 1/3 of all the "dis-eases" listed in medical books can be avoided. Remember here, the time honored wisdom: "Miseries missed are blessings received too". NOTE: There are many types of cleansing corrective combinations around. This is one of the most common and best. COMBINATION: Aloe, Angelica, Camphor, Carline Thistle, Manna, Myrrh, Rhubarb Root, Saffron, Senna, Theriac, Zedoary. DOSE: 10 to 80 drops each evening. For more involved conditions, up to 1 Tbl., as necessary, to obtain desired activity, for as long as necessary. If you need it, you need it. For a complete bowel maintenance program, take 4 to 6 capsules of Psyllium and 4 to 6 capsules of Alfalfa. Psyllium acts as a lubricating, internal exercising bulk and the Alfalfa as a deodorizing "scrub brush". Be sure to take a large glass of water with the Psyllium so it can do its job and so it does not gum up. For all other uses: use as given above. CH.E.-B (Chest Elixir) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Bella Vladmirsky (for rapid recovery of bronchitis, laryngitis, asthma, and other respiratory complaints) and is also used for irritating cough and chest discomfort. Coltsfoot calms and soothes coughing, dissolves and liquefies mucus, facilitates expectoration, and helps to get rid of chest infections. Astragalus is a powerful immune builder which kills viruses and repairs chronic lung problems. Olive leaf is an excellent antiseptic (anti-fungal, etc., etc.), active against all types of viruses, including those responsible for the common upper respiratory flu and stomach flu. Eucalyptus is a powerful antiseptic, respiratory decongestant, expectorant, and oxygenator. L-W helps us to breathe easier, oxygenates, decongests and repairs lung tissue. Bilberry is a natural vitamin C "complex", a powerhouse of minerals, repairs broken blood vessels, heals wounds and controls mucus in breathing passages. It makes Chest Elixir taste great! COMBINATION: Coltsfoot, Astragalus, Olive Leaf, Eucalyptus, L.-W, Bilberry. DOSE: Adults 40 to 80 drops (3 to 4) times a day. Also can be applied externally to the chest. Use with a good bowel program and drink plenty of water. For children, follow the usual protocol of one drop per pound divided into three equal dosages. C.S. - (CIRCULATORY SYSTEM) Addresses circulatory system problems from many approaches. Its immediate effect is to equalize blood pressure, stop heart attacks and prevent hemorrhages and strokes. More extensive action is accomplished by building around the observed functions of the life-saving Formula: H.T. (SEE: Heart Tonic, H.T.). Heart Tonic can be relied upon to nourish, repair and restore the heart to a healthy condition. Continued use of Heart Tonic maintains the heart in its healthy working conditon. The Herb, Lily-of-the-Valley, makes the heart beat more slowly and stronger to increase its output with each beat(SEE: Lily-of-the-Valley & Blessed Thistle). Lily-of-the-Valley is a specialist for repair of heart valves, including the all important mitral (bicuspid valve) on the left side of the heart, between the upper and lower chambers. This chamber, the left ventricle, is responsible for the delivery of oxygenated blood to the entire body. Blessed Thistle is a valued supplier of oxygen on the cellular level, enabling a failing heart and lungs to continue functioning so that repair can take place (SEE: Blessed Thistle). Capsicum equalizes blood pressure, prevents heart attacks, and stops strokes and hemorrhages (SEE: Capsicum). The herbs Blessed Thistle and Capsicum, working together, place a "bridge over troubled waters" so that heart, lungs and brain can function properly to allow time for recovery (SEE: Blessed Thistle). COMBINATION: H.T., Lily-of-the-Valley, Blessed Thistle, Capsicum. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day until well. If difficulty arises give extra C.S. and repeat as necessary. CST-M (Cyst-Mildred) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Mildred Jones and has been formulated to help or eliminate many types of problems. Keeping in mind that not only do women have breast problems, but we are finding that many men are also starting to have problems in the breast area. Mildred has used this formula for fibroid cysts in the breast, ovaries, uterus and for bad cells. THE KING'S AMERICAN DISPENSATORY. VOL 1 STATES: The Celandine helps with "Hepatic congestion; jaundice due to swollen bile ducts; sluggish hepatic action, cough with hepatic pain; fullness with throbbing pain in the right side and pain extending to right shoulder; headaches and gastric disorders due to faulty action of the liver". "Has worked favorably for biliary stones/gravel, hepatic and splenic problems. It is a remedy for so-called liver coughs, hemorrhoids, hepatic and splenic congestion and gastro-intestinal disorders due to capillary engorgement of the abdominal organs". THE PROTOCOL JOURNAL OF BOTANICAL MEDICINE states: "This formula works because these herbs help to rid the body of catabolic (wastes occurring when food burns to release energy) waste tissue, and promotes lymphatic drainage from those areas where catabolic wastes have collected". COMBINATION: Celandine, Milk Thistle, Jerusalem Artichoke, Turmeric, Barberry, Sanicle. DOSE: Start off with 20 drops (3) times a day by mouth and apply Vitamin E (100-200IU) to the breast or ovary area. Then lay a gauze pad soaked in this formula over the area, and cover the gauze pad with plastic to make the pores open to pull the herbs in. After a week or two, increase the dosage (by mouth) to 30-40 drops (3) times a day. When this formula “hits” something that is unwanted in the body, the individual may feel some discomfort for awhile. If it is too uncomfortable, use the poultice only every other day. D.-W (Digestion) - Stomach problems of all kinds, coats and heals stomach sores, helps digestion, stops bloating. This combination contains Gentian (gin'-chin) to normalize stomach acid and support the all important pancreatic functions, Ginger to prevent and expel gas, Juniper Berries to reduce fluid build up and Safflowers, taken since Roman times, to gentle the stomach. COMBINATION: Gentian, Ginger, Juniper Berries, Safflowers. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops after meals. D.A.N.-C (Depression, Anxiety and Nervousness - Courter) This combination was put together by the practiced herbalist Pat Courter. The herbs contained herein are appreciated in the following manner: Evening Primrose has been found helpful in disorders of the mind, depression, eliminating acids made by tormented nerves, restoring the proper feeling in the area of the solar plexus (abdominal nerve center), and eliminating long-term nerve tension. Lady's Slipper helps restore an exhausted nervous system, calms nerve centers of the brain, relieves migraines, restores a calm outlook, feeds the medulla oblongata (brain stem), provides energy for the whole nervous system, and thus reverses mental deterioration. Blue Vervain is naturally tranquilizing and produces an overall feeling of well being. It also finds use in problems with insomnia, increasing circulation to the brain, defusing emotional outbursts, and thus helps to bring about more normal behavior. Rice Bran is a store house of the B-Complex Vitamins, sometimes referred to as the "don't go crazy vitamins". These same B-Complex Vitamins facilitate strong, steady, sustained energy. Memory and thinking are supported, which promote a harmonious personality and relief from aggravation. St. John's Wort (Wort is Old English for the word plant) offers relief from clinical depression problems, anxiety attacks, burning nerves, heavy feeling in the head, concussion (severe impact) of the brain, disturbed sleep, and suppressed urine or pus. Horsetail contains the element silicon to build strong nerves and thus serves as an anti-depressant and to prevent convulsions. Horsetail is observed to strengthen body tissues and to soothe them. Its association with calcium neutralizes nerve acids caused by irritated kidneys. Feverfew relieves anxiety and irritated nerves. It relieves pressure on the brain, loquacity (can't stop talking), alcoholic delirium, shaking disorders of the nervous system, and tension from over excitement. Indian Tobacco is an antispasmodic (releases muscle cramps, spasms and their agony). It acts on nerve and respiratory centers to improve oxygenation of the blood, and is a powerful ally that brings relaxation. It is a wonderful catalyst (helps other herbs work better). For this reason it is often referred to as one of the "thinking herbs". Wormseed restores motor and sensory nerves and conquers the condition of aphasia (speech disorders). Cudweed is heralded as an "organic lithium source", which is useful in bi-polar (high then low without control) depression conditions, and tension of over-excitement. Universal E.R. (Emotional Remedy) works to relieve moment to moment agitation of the emotions from a number of different directions, much like a safety net. It can also be used to counteract the shock of accidents. COMBINATION: Evening Primrose, Lady’s Slipper, Blue Vervain, Rice Bran, Cudweed, St. John’s Wort, Horsetail,Feverfew, Indian Tobacco, Wormseed, Universal E.R. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops (3) times per day, more if needed. For children: One drop per pound divided into three equal dosages. DB.8-W (Diabetic 8) The eight herbs of this combination are all known to have, by themselves, corrected high blood sugar for many individuals. Every case of high blood sugar is not alike. There are different causes which can plague the pancreas and its proper production of the hormone insulin to break down blood sugar and provide energy for the nerves and brain. The idea here is to put all the known solutions into one team and use a "double-barreled-Texas-shot-gun" approach to clearing the hall; point both barrels, close your eyes, squeeze the triggers and let the problem have it. Although the complete knowledge of how some herbs work is not fully known, we can tell by what they do, something about how they work. In this combination we have LAPACHO which is known to kill and dissolve "bad cells" sometimes known as "cancer". ELECAMPANE cleans and reconditions the entire digestive and respiratory system. All things generally work better when they are clean. The herb MUGWORT is known to kill parasites, including those which can affect the pancreas. GOLDEN SEAL is an herb that can perform many functions of discretion depending on what it finds to be corrected: lowering blood sugar, performing as a first rate antibiotic, as well as reducing inflammation of veins and arteries. BLUEBERRY LEAF may provide minerals and trace elements that correct pancreatic function, as well as cleaning and toning of the area. BUGLEWEED helps the body retain valuable protein leaking through the kidneys and thus, helps stabilize blood sugar if high or low. GENTIAN is a digestaid which gives direct assistance to the pancreas, as well as the stomach, liver, gall bladder and small intestine. YARROW provides a rich mineral array which calms and repairs the nerves, including those which go to the pancreas. The idea here is, just about any contingency is covered and something, or the combination of "some things" there of, is bound to work and may do so powerfully. COMBINATION: Lapacho, Yarrow, Blueberry Leaf, Elecampane, Golden Seal, Gentian, Mugwort, Bugleweed. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 to 4 times per day. 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, 3 times per day. COMBINATION: Knitbone (Comfrey), Valerian Root, Willow Bark, Papaya. DOSE: Orally, 40 drops, 3 time per day. Externally as given above. DSK. AGAIN DSK. - 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 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 a fresh daytime application like the one for the night. Repeat this regimen until repaired. 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 liquified 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 ˝ 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 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, 3 times per day. E. & F.-W (Energy and Fitness) - With an increased awareness of physical fitness and a demand for natural energy in unlimited quantities, the Energy and Fitness Formula was developed. A body that will do what it ought to, when you want it to, is a goal worth working for. A body that won't is a traitor. So, oxygenate your tissues and your body into the friendly camp. Enjoy your exercise or jogging or walk and develop a new you in the process. For the athlete or athlete-to-be who shuns steroids and other drug substances to build an honest body, this can be part of the answer. It has been said that the more you can move around, the more alive you are. This is true. You know a child is sick if he or she does not enjoy moving around. What do you think about an adult? That's right, the same thing is true for an adult. Be prepared to work for four months to derive the maximum benefits, as well as the immediate benefits. COMBINATION: Siberian Ginseng, Dong Quai, Juniper Berry, Bee Pollen, Licorice Root, Peppermint Leaf, Capsicum, Gentian, Blessed Thistle, Eyebright. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops after meals. E.H.-T (Emotional Health-Thompson) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Joan Thompson. This is a new formula for optimal mental and emotional health. Excellent results have been achieved when used for the relief of clinical depression, manic depression, ADD (attention deficit disorder), fibromyalgia, phobias, and stress related problems due to long term illness. This blend is also helpful for sleep disorders, improvement of memory, increased alertness, and stress relief. COMBINATION: St. John’s Wort, Life Everlasting, (Cudweed), Gotu Kola, Rice Bran, Lady’s Slipper, Kava Kava. DOSE: Adults: 80 drops in a.m., 40 in afternoon and 40 at bedtime. For Children: one drop per pound divided into three equal doses. Infants: use a couple of drops on the soles of the feet and up and down the spine. Results are achieved in three to six weeks so be patient. It is important to maintain blood levels while in treatment. E.H.-T should not be used in conjunction with any other prescription medications for nerves or depression. E.O.-W ("Ease-Off" Combination) - Formulated to meet the challenges individuals have in their decision to live a life without cigarettes, alcohol abuse and drugs of various kinds. The physical addiction to a substance usually depends on a kind of temporary physical relief from tension, aggravation or tiredness. The concept here, is to find something among our herbal allies to provide relief, without it, itself, becoming addictive. Otherwise you trade one problem for another. Indian Tobacco possesses the property of providing relief for a person who feels things are "caving in" on them. This is only one of the services offered by this valuable herb. Physical tension is released. It is interesting to note that with the use of Indian Tobacco a person does not become a "zombie", but rather retains alertness and energy. A person simply cannot hold on to what is bothering them. From this vantage point, there is then, space and time for the person to find a way to solve their problems. Catnip, Chamomile, and Arnica (Leopard's Bane), have similar properties. When combined together as a team, they bring out the best of each others calming qualities for your recovery. COMBINATION: Indian Tobacco, Chamomile, Catnip, Arnica (Leopard's Bane). DOSE: One drop on the tongue and wait a few seconds to feel its effect; then repeat and wait, and then repeat, and so on, until the tension is relieved. For some, one drop is enough, for others, up to 10 or even 20 drops may be necessary. At some point the "monkey" hops off of your back. Repeat as needed. For best results, try to get rid of some of the extra stress you are under while using E.O.-W. E.R - TWO - (Emotional Remedy - Number Two) Is a select group of rarified wild flower essences developed by Dr. Edward Bach, a noted English physician from the first part of the 20th century, for the purpose of dealing with the alternating condition of being on top of the world and confident one day, and down in the cellar and dejected the next day. Dr. Bach's concept is to take the remedy faithfully, 4 times per day, such as before mealtimes and before bedtime. In this way, relief is obtained and an accumulating effect occurs so that one day the person will realize they no longer need the remedy. (See Universal E.R. for additional information) COMBINATION: Vervain, Vine (Wild Grape), Mustard, Scleranthus, Gorse, Chicory, Honeysuckle. DOSE: 3 drops taken by mouth or rubbed into pulse points, faithfully, 4 times per day. If an attack of the nerves should occur in spite of everything, then put 12 drops in a cup of fluid and sip slowly until the feeling lifts. E.R.- TWO with MIMULUS (Emotional Remedy - Number Two with Mimulus) Is a select group of rarified wild flower essences developed by Dr. Edward Bach, an English Physician, for the purpose of dealing with the alternating condition of being up and confident one day and on top of the world, and fearful, ("fear or anxiety of a known origin") dejected, and down in the cellar the next day. Dr. Bach's concept is to take the remedy faithfully, 4 times per day, such as before mealtimes and before bedtime. In this way, relief is obtained and an accumulating effect occurs so that one day the person will realize they no longer need the remedy. (SEE: UNIVERSAL E.R. for additional information) COMBINATION: Vervain, Vine (Wild Grape), Mustard, Scleranthus, Gorse, Chicory, Honeysuckle, Mimulus. DOSE: 3 drops taken by mouth or rubbed into pulse points, faithfully, 4 times per day. If an attack of the nerves should occur in spite of everything, then put 12 drops in a cup of fluid and sip slowly until the feeling lifts. E.T.B. - (ELIMINATE TUBERCULOSIS) Was developed by the noted American Herbalist, Micki Jones, to combat the ancient and modern scourge of tuberculosis. E.T.B. works by raising the body's immunity with the assistance of Juniper Berries, while oxygenating the lungs and body with Blessed Thistle. Echinacea, a powerful antibiotic, immunity builder and surgeon without a knife, goes after the hiding places of the tubercle bacillus and related, causative microorganisms. Plantain, a contact healer, soothes, nourishes tissues, and prevents the complication of blood poisoning, and fights the secondary problem of virus. Horehound, Coltsfoot and Yerba Santa are lung herbs which clean, restore circulation, and repair. Myrrh, the modern and ancient antibiotic of the Middle East, activates the immune system to raise the white blood cell count and destroy the vile tubercle invaders. COMBINATION: Plantain, Echinacea, Coltsfoot, Horehound, Myrrh, Blessed Thistle, Juniper Berries, Yerba Santa. DOSE: 80 to 120 drops, 3 to 4 times per day. Be sure to use a good bowel management program with E.T.B., as the body must be able to eliminate what it replaces and cleans out. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, CULVER'S ROOT also known as BLACK ROOT) E.T.I.-W (Ear and Throat Infections) - Much loved and used, dependable combination. Hold on tongue and swallow slowly, repeat as needed. Swab Vitamin E oil from a capsule in the ear canals and then insert a cotton ball soaked with this extract into both ears. Relieves earache and sore tonsils and reduces fever. COMBINATION: Echinacea, Myrrh, Licorice Root, White Oak Bark. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops after meals, or every 2 to 4 hours, while awake, in times of crisis. Repeat until well. F.& F. (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. NOTE: Shake well before using, as contents have a tendency to separate. COMBINATION: Natural source Oils of Peppermint and Wintergreen, Golden Seal Root, Hyssop, Lemon Juice, Knitbone, Wild Cherry Bark. DOSE: 5 to 10 drops on the tongue as needed. F.P.-W (Feminine Problems) - This combination provides, for a woman's system, a veritable smorgasbord of cleansing, healing, corrective, hormonal and cosmetic herbs for the entire female system. In this way, her system can pick and choose exactly what is desired to normalizes the reproductive tract and promote healthy sexual function. Nourishing, maintaining and rejuvenating for the female system. COMBINATION: White Pond Lily, Black Cohosh, Sarsaparilla, Blue Cohosh, Passion Flower. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. F.V.E.-W (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. COMBINATION: Wild Rose Hips, Golden Seal, Myrrh, Chickweed. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, after meals, or as given above. G.F.-G (SEE: GLADY'S FORMULA UNDER NAMED HERBAL COMBINATIONS) GO.-W (Go! Herbal Stimulant) - There are times when an individual must rely on a stimulant to fulfill their commitments and duties. The trouble with most stimulants, such as coffee and tea, is they operate on the "fly now and pay later" principle. In other words, they act like a whip for a tired horse. They burn your reserve nutrients to squeeze out the last ounce of energy and then the crash comes. This leaves you feeling empty and drained inside unless you practice heavy supplementation of vitamins and minerals. The concept here, for a good stimulant, would be to utilize the principle of "pay as you go". And that is what GO.-W does. A generous provision of energy and nutrients run side by side. Liquid Bee Pollen and Licorice Root are instant energy for the adrenal glands (glands, one on top of each kidney, that produce numerous anti-stress compounds) which balance out the boost provided by the herb Ephedra. Prickly Ash sweeps away fatigue products such as acids and carbon dioxide, and Capsicum provides the spark to drive oxygen to the brain and vital organs carried by the herb Eyebright. A person is refreshed and ready to go. When you have "miles to go and promises to keep before you rest this night" there is help in the form of GO.-W. COMBINATION: MaHuang (Ephedra), Bee Pollen, Eyebright, Licorice Root, Gentian, Prickly Ash, Capsicum. DOSE: 30 to 40 drops, as needed. H.B.-W (Hormonal Balance for men and women) - Hormonal balancing is a good operational practice. By providing a selection of whatever the glandular systems might need, we ensure a healthy, active, glandular status. When the glands are healthy and nourished, we are active and youthful. Rejuvenating. COMBINATION: Sarsaparilla, Ginger, Gotu Kola, Siberian Ginseng, Wild Rose Hips. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, after meals. If extra assistance is needed for a depleted glandular system, consider taking 80 drops, 3 times per day and persist until you do see a difference. Then go on a maintenance amount of 40 drops, 3 times per day. HI.I.-W (High Iron) - It is the most beautiful of iron formulas and it tastes good. It is upsetting to see other sources of iron on the market that proclaim how "excellent" they are and their taste is downright disgusting, something like licking a rusty tin can. And, they are about as good as they taste for your body. That is because they use an iron source, just about like rust, mixed with sulfur. You can be assured, when iron is organized by a living green plant, it has a far greater attraction for your body cells than rust from the ground. But then, the rust and sulfur form is cheap and after a while it may severely constipate you and destroy the Vitamin E in your system, as well as clog up liver functions. This is especially detrimental to pregnant women as they may become sick and the baby born nearsighted. The proof that vegetable iron is good for you is, after a short time of taking it you will probably feel a lot better, men included. With the iron ore type of iron, after a while you will probably feel pretty terrible. Iron is constantly needed to manufacture new red blood cells, especially in women. When the right kind of iron enters your body, in a liquid extract form, you can readily absorb it. As it hits the oxygen in the body, you feel the spark of life tickling your whole system again. It is alright to banish constant fatigue and feel frisky and stay that way. Breathe and enjoy it. COMBINATION: Thyme, Yellow Dock, Red Raspberry Leaf, Indian Tobacco. DOSE: 20 to 40 drops per day. If deficient or time of menstruation, 40 drops, 3 times per day. For babies and small children, 1 - 5 drops per day. Can be rubbed into soles of feet. For older children, 5 - 10 drops per day. Adolescents use same amount as adults, as they are growing and need more of everything, even though they have not yet reached their full growth. HI.K.-W (High Potassium) - When a potassium supplement is needed think of HI.K-W (K is the chemical symbol for Potassium in Latin). Stabilize blood sugar, gain muscular strength, prevent cramping muscles, reduce and or balance out sodium intake, and lose taste for regular salt in the process. Build muscular strength without "serious exercise". Give to hyperactive children to normalize blood sugar levels and behavior. Build and restore genuine vigor and reserve energy when taken regularly for 4 to 6 months. Energy boost. Does not "burn" tissues like regular salt substitutes, as it is all from natural vegetable material and balanced in minerals, with an emphasis on its potassium content. COMBINATION: Dulse, Peppermint, Parsley, Dandelion Leaf, Yarrow. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops or more, as needed, with meals. H.L.-ONE-W (Herbal Laxative #1) - This is a tried, tested and enhanced old-time laxative and bowel conditioner. As time goes by, a person develops "old friends" among the herbs, which have served people well for countless ages. Such a combination is H.L.-ONE-W. Its action is swift and sure to soften and loosen up old, impacted wastes, expel parasites, and give the bowel new vigor. The bowel is strengthened with each use and, as an added bonus, the gall bladder is encouraged to flush itself. You flush other things, so why not the gall bladder too. Then, maybe, that nagging back pain between the shoulder blades will clear up, or the bulge pressure on the upper right side under the ribs will flush out and let up, thus preventing a lot of miseries. File under "rubbish" the idea that one regular movement of the bowels per day is "right training". This has been so carefully taught as right, that many people commonly believe it and consider two or three movements per day unnatural. Some doctors even consider as few as 2 to 3 bowel movements per week to be "normal". As a result, we have contamination of other areas of the body due to the reabsorption of bowel wastes through the sides of the intestines. Then other miseries can proceed, and we see: yeast infections, cysts, tumors, hysterectomies, prostate-ectomies, lung infections, sinus congestion, skin problems and worse, "bad cells". Join the herb team which cleans up, and come clean for a better you. COMBINATION: Buckthorn, Turkey Rhubarb, Cascara Sagrada, Fennel, Pumpkin Seed. DOSE: 40 drops to 1 tsp. to 1 Tbl. each evening, as needed, with a full glass of water to initiate and maintain 2 to 3 regular, easy and complete bowel movements per day. This also works on cleaning out chronic accumulated debris. H.L.-TWO-W (Herbal Laxative #2) - This combination is an all fresh approach to establish another combination/selection of laxative and bowel conditioning herbs from among our "old friends", which also relieves gas discomfort. And here is the best part - it tastes good! Just imagine "they said it couldn't be done without putting it in candy". So we did it without any candy in it, and we didn't have to put it in candy. Many people have been known to shed 10 pounds or more without dieting, by eliminating accumulated chronic fecal (bowel debris/waste) deposits, through making an herbal laxative part of their daily routine. We are not worried here about a chemical, drug induced "laxative habit". These vegetable materials are food for a hard working part of the body so it can accomplish its task. When a person has as many bowel movements per day, as they have meals, they feel better, have more energy, and shed deposits of accumulated debris. You may have noticed that babies and puppies have a bowel movement for each meal and usually, right after the meal. This is normal body activity for a healthy system. If you put something into the body, then you should let the waste it makes be cast out to even things up, unless you want to carry it around. By casting out wastes regularly, you prevent fluid retention. The body retains fluid in an attempt to dilute these poisons and prevent you from becoming poisoned until elimination can take place. Failure to eliminate bowel wastes timely, can cause a back up of poisons and make the person feel miserable, profane, surly and uncooperative. Perhaps you know someone like that. Retrain your bowel habits today and enjoy the benefits. COMBINATION: Senna, Mayapple, Sweet Root, Fennel, Turkey Rhubarb. DOSE: 40 drops to 1 teaspoon or, if needed, 1 Tbl., with a full glass of water each evening to initiate, promote, and maintain two or more regular, easy and complete bowel movements per day. H.N.S.-W (Hair, Nails, Skin) - Restores nails in about one month, nourishes thyroid, promotes normal, healthy hair growth and returns color to hair. Settles nerves if sluggish thyroid, warms up cold hands and feet and tip of nose. Promotes energy and weight loss by turning the body thermostat up to normal. Makes hair silky and elastic and prevents peeling and splitting of nails and retarded nail growth. Hair no longer splits. COMBINATION: Dulse, Horsetail, Rosemary, Sage. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. HR-F (Hair-Ford) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Edna Ford. This formula came to be after much consideration and research as to which herbs would work together, not only for the hair, but would help the body in the process. The following herbs were chosen as they have been known to help the body function better and help to produce good and healthy hair. Sage is known to be good for hair and has helped to restore the color of the hair to normal. It also helps in the stimulation of circulation to the head, brain, and memory. This formula is high in calcium, potassium, zinc, and B-1, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, Vitamin A and C, and niacin. Horsetail is rich in silicon and selenium and is good for building the immune and nervous systems. Capsicum is a powerful stimulant for the circulation of the entire body, and the key to healing the body is good circulation. ( Caution should be used to avoid getting capsicum into the eyes as it causes discomfort but should never cause harm.) Rosemary is known to strengthen the hair and to aid in the prevention of premature baldness. It helps restore the hair to its natural color. It is an aid in digestion and is a stimulant and an antiseptic. It is high in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium. Barberry aids in preventing baldness and helps to maintain hair. It contains Biotin (Vitamin H), and is high in calcium, chlorine, iron and sulfur. Yarrow helps prevent hair loss and is beneficial to the circulation of the entire body. It is high in potassium and phosphorus, medium in selenium and silicon, chlorine and inositol, magnesium and manganese. Royal Jelly is anti-bacterial and antibiotic and, when applied to the skin, aids in smoothness and repairs. It activates the immune system and is a complete B-Complex, high in Pantothenic Acid (B-5) and Pyridoxine (B-6). COMBINATION: Sage, Horsetail, Capsicum, Rosemary, Barberry, Yarrow, Royal Jelly. DOSE: This formula can be added to your shampoo 10 to 20 drops depending on the size of your bottle. CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IN USING IT DUE TO THE CAPSICUM. Should you get it in your eyes rinse with cold water. It will bring circulation to the scalp and will be very warm feeling. When wearing a hat, it can even feel hot. It can be taken internally 10 to 60 drops in water each day depending on the strength you choose. Example: 10 drops three times each day in water; if your body can handle that much, then increase the amount taken to 20 drops three times each day. Simply be careful when putting it on the scalp to dilute it in water. Test it on one area to see how it feels, (more dilution may be needed). Be faithful in how you use it, whether in the shampoo, diluting it and gently rubbing it on the scalp, or taking it internally. H.T. COMBINATION (Heart Tonic Combination) - Heart herbs which nourish the heart and repair valves, reduce swelling, restore feeble heart action, open congested heart blood vessels that are clogged, very slowly, so that the congestive debris is liquified and flushed harmlessly from the body.

Usually, after about a week, this work is done and the amount taken can be reduced to twice per day, for continued benefit. COMBINATION: Hawthorn Berries, Myrrh, Motherwort. DOSE: (3) Capsules (3) times per day. HYG.-W (Hypoglycemia, Low blood sugar) Low blood sugar is a constant and ongoing problem for more people than you might imagine. Bad effects known to occur from low blood sugar could easily fill several, closely type-written pages. Essentially, what happens is that a person does not get and/or digest enough high quality protein and may also be deficient in the B-Complex Vitamins. Protein stabilizes blood sugar, and the B-Complex of vitamins makes it possible for the nerves and brain to feed on its requirement of blood sugar. To stabilize blood sugar problems, protein should be taken at least 3 times per day, and in some cases it is necessary to take several small protein meals 4 or 5 times per day. The B-Complex of vitamins is also best taken 3 or more times per day. Rice Bran Extract is an excellent source of the B-Complex. The B-Complex vitamins provide a person with a sense of "well being". When they are not available, or digested, or absorbed and not present, the nerves cannot feed on the normal levels of blood sugar, and the sense of "well being" is lost. The major digestive organ-gland, known as the pancreas, and the anti-stress glands, known as the adrenal glands, go into a state of desperation in a frantic attempt to stabilize vital body funtions. The adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney, produce at least 2 dozen different anti-stress hormones and anti-stress compounds to stabilize the blood sugar and body. Many people are addicted to refined sugar and white flour types of "food" in an attempt to keep their blood sugar up. This causes more harm than good, as these types of refined carboydrates (sugar and starch) are burned too quickly and, after a momentary surge of energy, are gone and leave the person feeling "burned out". Eating more "junk foods" to solve the problem adds to the misery, because they do not contain the complete normal and natural profile of the B-Complex vitamins. They actually take Vitamin B's out of the system to digest. The nervous system gets only a rapid spurt of energy, then crashes and the personality suffers. Bizarre symptoms can occur. In general, there is an over-reaction of the pancreas to make a hormone known as insulin. Then, the refined sugar and starches from cakes, cookies, ice cream, candy bars, soda pop, sugary breakfast cereals, white bread and white pasta can cause us much grief. Some people have a steady diet of this sort of incomplete food, commonly known as "junk food". A person could just as easily say "robbed foods", as they are depleted of their proteins, vitamins and minerals in the refining process, to remove anything that could spoil, to increase shelf life and to look pretty. The point is, if it won't "spoil", it probably won't digest properly. After the refining "junk food" gets a few unbalanced chemical vitamins and some crude elemental minerals from the ground added back to it, and then it is legally called "enriched". The result is a perversion of nutrition. Eating this kind of food can produce just about any kind of unpleasant symptom around. A few examples are: headaches, skin problems, menstrual irregularities, surges of temper and/or destructiveness, inabilty to concentrate or reason, attention deficits, a feeling of "drifting off", dandruff, hyperactivity, abnormal tongue appearances, sore mouth, sore tongue, cracks at the corners of the mouth, constipation, colds, flu, teeth problems, gum problems, over weight, etc., etc., etc.! The way to break these viscious circles of suffering is to have high quality protein, of your choice, at each meal, as tolerated, to satisfaction. Take a digest aid with it, if necessary, adequate B-Complex Vitamins and, of course, eliminate the "junk foods". These kinds of foods are generally composed of refined sugars such as white sugar, "brown sugar" (actually white sugar with a little natural coloring in it), corn syrup, white flour types of crackers, cakes, cookies, pies, assorted "crummy yummies", "brown breads" that are spongy and not heavy when you pick them up, regardless of being called "whole wheat" or "rye bread". "Junk foods" rely on chemical dyes, chemical flavorings and chemical preservatives to trick the tongue, make them look pretty, and extend their shelf life. Many people feel they cannot eat protein foods because they have allergies to them, or bloat when they eat them. With a digestaid, such as Sweet Root, they may be able to do so. HYG.-W contains the digestaids Sweet Root and Juniper Berry, as well as Rice Bran for the B-Complex, and liquid Bee Pollen for protein. Rice Bran provides the complete, natural, balanced spectrum of all the Vitamin B's for proper nervous system nutrition and a sense of "well being". Licorice Root, Juniper Berry, and Bee Pollen, are a powerhouse combination for the adrenal glands, so that you have some get-up-and-go without having to crash after taking them. Sweet Root and Juniper Berry not only assist the pancreas to digest your food, they provide this digestive organ-gland with a helping hand to digest food. This gives the pancreas time to repair itself from past abuses by sharing the digestive work load. When baffling symptoms occur and you see the person is more or less addicted to refined carbohydrates, it is a good bet to think low blood sugar and use HYG.-W. COMBINATION: Bee Pollen, Licorice Root, Rice Bran, Sweet Root, Juniper Berry. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day. Increase as needed, to get results. IM.S.- W (Immune System builder) - Father Sebastian Kneip, renowned natural practitioner of the 19th century, said "when you pass among the sick, chew Juniper Berries". A natural immunity is provided 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, under-arms, 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 feel 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, Carpenter's Square, Black Cohosh, Sarsaparilla, Lapacho. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, to build active immunity. 20 to 40 drops per day as a maintenance. IS.-F (Eyes-Ford) U.S. Herbalist Edna Ford suggest this effective combination for nourishing and repairing the eyes. NOTE: AS THIS FORMULA CONTAINS RUE DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT. COMBINATION: Quackgrass, Rosemary, Juniper Berry, Rue, Capsicum. Eyebright. DOSE: 40 drops three times per day. I.V.Y.-D COMBINATION Iris (Wild Blue Iris), Violet (Spring Violet) and Yarrow, our I.V.Y. is the product of trust in the providential association of these three flowers, as called attention to by a child named Danny, and confirmed by Solomon Wickey and Jake Schwartz, two great living Amish Herbalists. Use to reverse the modern scourge of A.I.D.'s and many other contagious types of "dis-eases". DOSE: 40 drops 3 times per day. KID.-W (Kidneys) - This is a formula for severe kidney problems, to restore function, even in those deemed "hopeless" and condemned to dialysis (die-al'-uh-sis, where there is a life threatening reduction of the kidneys ability to perform their function, and filtration must be accomplished by mechanical means). The finest nature has to offer is combined in this formula to fight infection, dissolve and clean out accumulated microscopic crystal splinters, and repair the kidney filters. For intensive use and quickest results in severe conditions, use KID.-W externally. Apply Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules over the entire kidney area and lower back. The kidneys are normally positioned slightly above and down, to slightly below the lowest ribs. Vitamin E makes oxygen to the area more efficient and provides "the breath of life" to the kidneys for repair. Next, apply Arnica to the area to remove the physical trauma. Then apply the herbal formula, Herbal Adj., to increase the circulation and reduce spasms of the area. If there is pain, also apply, directly to the skin, Peppermint Oil or Oil of Cajeput. These oils, along with Herbal Adj., absorb pain. Next, make ready a time-release preparation of kidney herbs by soaking a layer of absorbent gauze or cheese cloth with KID.-W and lay this over the area. Cover this with plastic sandwich wrap to form a thermal and moisture barrier. In general, the larger the area we work on, the greater the effect of the herbs. Finally, wrap a cloth all the way around the body to hold all in place. Leave on overnight. In the morning, remove the application and discard. (NEVER REUSE THE GAUZE OR CHEESE CLOTH APPLICATION, as it also draws poisons out of the body, as well as time-releasing the herbs into the body.) Wash the area and allow to dry. Then put on a daytime application. Repeat until well. KID.-W can also be used internally at the rate of 40 drops, 3 times per day. It should also be noted - when using KID.-W, an increased amount of fluids can be processed by the kidneys. To avoid protein starvation during the time of recovery, either rub on or give internally, 40 to 80 drops of either 5-GOOD (sprouted vegetable source of protein) or PROTEIN EXTRACT (predigested protein fraction of milk). Protein is necessary for repair of any debilitating condition, and if the body does not have an adequate source it will devour itself. KID.-W does offer hope and recovery. Use it and return to a productive life. COMBINATION: Juniper Berries, Uva Ursi, Parsley, Dandelion Root, Chamomile. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day, with a full glass of water, and as given above. NOTE: Occasionally, during "treatment" for kidney conditions, an odd occurrence takes place where, all of a sudden, the mineral potassium in the blood stream, on blood tests or urine tests, rises too high. This is "odd" for three reasons: first, supplemental potassium during this time is usually being given and should help to stabilize energy and muscular strength, not hinder them; secondly, because a sick person is not usually eating a high potassium diet and commonly deficient in this vital mineral and therefore "sick"; and third, in the typical diet, sodium levels are usually high due to its overabundance as a flavoring agent and preservative - this drives potassium out of the body. When the potassium levels go too high, this can be corrected by taking adrenal gland supplements(SEE: ENERGY in the HISTORICAL USES OF HERBS pages earlier in this work) so the adrenal cortex (outer layers of the adrenal glands) will function correctly and prevent potassium from being leached out from the insides of the cells of the body-a very serious condition. L.-W (Lungs) - Much valued and appreciated lung combination. Breathe easier. Lungs are cleaned of mucus and repaired; lung tissue is strengthened and returned to healthy pink with improved lung capacity to utilize oxygen better. Especially helpful for damaged and congested lungs. Very beneficial for sports activities to maintain performance during continuous athletic competition or strenuous activity. COMBINATION: Yerba Santa, Mullein, Indian Tobacco, Marshmallow, Gentian, Blessed Thistle. DOSE: 40 drops, 3 times per day. In more serious cases, also rub in quantity necessary to cover chest and back, 1 to 3 times per day. L.A.S.-J.B. - CAPSULES (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 it in from the fresh pulp. For future use, the ground pulp can be kept in a closed glass jar and refrigerated until needed. Once the jar is opened, the aromatic part (air borne portion), which performs the function of cleaning the air passages and handling allergic reactions, is rapidly evaporated into the air; the Horseradish goes "flat" and thus becomes ineffective. Nor can a liquid extract of Horseradish 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 spoonfull 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 the 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. L.B.-J (LOW BLOOD SUGAR - JAKE) L.B.- J Combination is the product of the noted, experienced, Amish Herbal Practitioner, Jake Schwartz, to correct the condition of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It is a very common occurrence to see people who are addicted to various "sweets", soda pop, catsup and other kinds of sugary and syrupy things. They may also be addicted to starches made from white flour such as bread, noodles and pasta, cakes, cookies, pies, French fries, and the like. This addiction produces a great deal of misery, resulting in behavioral difficulties, problems with memory and concentration, and physical suffering of many kinds. So many, as a matter of fact, it would take several closely written pages to describe all the anguish this type of addiction can cause. We can literally express our gratitude by saying, "A thousand thanks for this Formula". COMBINATION: Licorice Root, True Saffron, Marshmallow, Milk Weed, Myrrh. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 to 5 times per day. Eat 5 smaller meals per day, and do have something with protein at each of these meals. (SEE: Five Good, Bee Pollen, Protein Extract) L.B.R.-W (Lower Bowel Repair) - An ideal formula for the bowel would contain an "industrial strength" cleaner such as Greasewood (Chaparral) which can penetrate old mucus and hardened waste in bowel pockets. Greasewood does this without harming intestinal linings. A toner would draw a ballooning and/or pocketed bowel back into shape and action. Barberry and White Oak Bark do just that. Because the bowel has a very meager nervous system, compared to other areas of the body, a "jump start" for its battery would be provided. In other words, a spark of a stimulant to get a "lazy bowel" going is a must. Ephedra (ee-fed'-ruh), also know as Brigham Tea, does this. Angelica rids the body of "gas". Marshmallow and Butcher's Broom can be employed to soothe any "cleansing irritation" and to rapidly heal the area. Occasionally during cleansing, some blood is seen in the stool as a sharp piece of "bowel rock" breaks loose or irritating wastes leave the bowel, or if a cyst opens up and bleeds clean. Marshmallow and Butcher's Broom rebuild the intestines with their healing touch. As the layers of old waste material peel off, some of this passes out as a liquid, some as solids and some turns directly to various types of repulsive gases. Hence, Angelica can be there to relieve and prevent gas discomfort. Senna is a laxative herb for dissolving and removal of hardened trash, as well as normal movements. Senna keeps the wastes, the poisons, bacteria, fungus, viruses etc., that were locked up in the hardened wastes, moving. If there were no laxative herb in the formula, then these tormenters could make a person sick as they are set free with the dissolved wastes. This is where the confusion occurs when you take an herb such as Greasewood and people say it caused hepatitis. It did not and it does not. When a dissolving herb or and antibiotic herb is taken, then a laxative herb must be there right along with it to get the germs, viruses, fungus, etc. out of the body so they won't hang around and overwhelm the antibiotic effect and make a person sick. A good bowel repair formula would also contain a digestaid to digest out chronic disagreeable material. L.B.R.-W has all of these. COMBINATION: Greasewood (Chaparral), Marshmallow, Butcher's Broom, Barberry, White Oak Bark, Ephedra, Angelica, Sweet Root, Senna. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops after meals. L.C.-W (Lymphatic Cleaner combination) - Problems with tonsils, adenoids, polyps (overgrowth of tissue resulting in blockage), ear congestion, eye congestion, swellings and abnormalities of the spleen, swollen arms, ankles, fingers and around the middle, result from blocked, stagnant lymphatics. The lymphatics are a series of tubes and circulatory channels which carry a fluid similar to blood, except the red blood cells have been filtered out. You can see this filtered blood in what is commonly called a "water blister". Lymph's job is to circulate where the thicker fluid (known as blood) cannot go. Since lymph is circulated mostly by exercise, rather than the pumping action of the heart, it can become stagnated in an underactive body. This problem is compounded when debris collects in the lymphatic system which normally contains more fluid than the blood stream. The causes of this are: not enough movement of the body, incompletely digested food, and poor bowel management. This may not seem right to many people, but if there is a lymphatic problem, you can be assured there is trouble in one or more of those areas, or all of them. So, we suggest some form of exercise, such as walking or playing, a digestaid, a natural bowel cleaner and a lymphatic cleaner. As a natural, non-habit forming laxative-cleaner (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, Senna.) Digestaids (SEE: Gentian, Sweet Root, Ginger, Stillingia, Scarlet Pimpernel, D.-W, ST.-W.) Use of the lymphatic detergent L.C.-W will also provide the services of antibiotic and healer. As the lymphatics disgorge their stored poisons, be prepared for discharges of congestive material in the form of mucus or pus from any body opening: eyes, ears, nose, throat, urine, reproductive organs and glands, bowel and even the skin. Do not mistake this for an infection. IT IS NOT! It is an elimination of what was causing the problem. Don't run to your "real doctor" and have it dried up with drugs. This is no time to be so stingy you have to hold on to, even, corruption the body is trying desperately to let go of. If you wish a poison absorber to make you more comfortable during this time, then 5 to 20 drops of either Black Cohosh, Virginia Snake Root or Plantain every 2 to 3 hours, while awake, should do it. Use of an enema can also help greatly. Usually about 10 minutes after the enema, a person feels much relieved. Yes, take an enema, even if the bowels are loose. Diarrhea or loose bowels are an attempt by the body to give you a natural enema; so go ahead and complete the process of flushing out the offending and poisoned wastes, then the diarrhea will stop. With a newly cleaned and restored lymphatic system, with its cleaned lymph, everything it bathes as it circulates gets cleaner and cleaner. Not only will you prevent or correct a host of baffling diseases with long funny names, you'll feel great and look better. COMBINATION: Oregon Grape, Blue Flag (Wild Blue Iris), Marshmallow, Stillingia, Mullein. DOSE: 40 drops following meals or 3 times per day. L.6W - (Last 6 Weeks) - For expectant mothers, the practiced Amish Herbalist, Elizabeth Schwartz, offers us this Formula for the assurance and reassurance of mothers-to-be. L.6W is used to ensure easy and quick delivery with a minimum of discomfort for mother and baby. This contribution to the herbal world of successful natural delivery and its practitioners, enriches not only the Amish Community but the larger community of all humanity as well. The object here is to take the L.6W daily during the last six weeks of pregnancy. Reproductive structures are nourished so they have the needed energy to work. With this Formula we also control bloating and its nausea by the inclusion of Angelica in the combination. The other members of this balanced herbal team are combined in such a manner as to orchestrate and rehearse the birth process, by preparing all systems to do their job as expected, when the time is here. Then everything will probably go alright. COMBINATION: Blue Cohosh, Pennyroyal, Red Raspberry Leaf, Spikenard, Partridge Berry, Blue Vervain, Angelica. DOSE: 40 drops 3 times per day during the last six weeks of pregnancy or as advised by your herbal practitioner. L.G.-W (Liver and Gall bladder) - Much used and appreciated formula for normalizing liver and gall bladder functions. Gently flushes both areas of poisons and dissolves stones in the gall bladder. Restores flow of bile from liver and makes a clean, well-nourished blood stream. Both of the two "docs", the Burr-doctor and the Yellow-doctor, Burdock and Yellow Dock respectively, are excellent liver and blood cleaners. When the two "docs" do their job, these organs and the body is bathed in clean blood and the body can get well. COMBINATION: Burdock, Yellow Dock, Calendula, Turkey Rhubarb. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops after meals, or 3 times per day. LIV.-J (Liver cleaner-Jake) Practiced Amish Herbalist, Jake Schwartz, has used this formula for all kinds of liver cleansing with good success, when all else has failed in the way of medicines and vitamins. COMBINATION: Wild Yam, Crampbark, Fennel, Ginger, Catnip, Barberry, Aloe (African). DOSE: 1 teaspoonful before breakfast and all other meals. L.P.-W (Liquid Pearle) - Arthritis and correction of circulation are closely associated. When the circulation returns, usually the arthritis goes away. L.P.-W also provides the energy for this to take place. L.P.-W is especially for frozen joints where there are waste mineral deposits in the joints or on the bones. COMBINATION: Angelica, Echinacea, Ginger, Marshmallow, Broad Beans, Spikenard, Eucalyptus, Gentian, Lady's Slipper, Bee Pollen, Prickly Ash, Myrrh. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops per meal, or 3 times per day. M.& B.-A (Milk & Baby-Amelia) Practiced U.S. Herbalist, Amelia Schendel, who works with mothers who nurse, shares this formulation for enriching and/or increasing milk flow. COMBINATION: Blessed Thistle, Marshmallow Root, Plantain, Fenugreek, Fennel, Universal E.R. DOSE: 20 drops two to four times per day, for mothers who would like the milk-enriching benefits of the formula but don't have a problem with their milk supply. 80 drops to 1 teaspoonful three to four times per day (or more if needed), for mothers that need to increase their milk supply. MEL.-W ( For the production of Melatonin and numerous neurotransmitters.) The object is to regulate body rhythms, coordinate glandular action, and improve overall brain function. This formula also nourishes the involuntary nervous system as well as the glands of the head. This is a brain and nerve cocktail with a glandular coordinator. COMBINATION: Alfalfa, Parsley, Chamomile, Gotu Kola, Barberry, Black Walnut, Bee Pollen, & Maca. DOSE: 40 drops (3) times per day. If bigger problems 1 tsp. (3) times per day. For children : One drop per pound divided into three doses. M.G.-W (Multi-Glandular) - A multi-glandular, quick-energy food combination for glandular nourishment and energy on a daily basis. Reversal of starved glands that cause a body to age prematurely. Nourish each of the glands each day with what they would like and need and you'll enjoy life much more. Do this for a few days and you'll feel the difference; do this for years and in many ways you will be years ahead of those who don't. Excellent for both men and women. COMBINATION: Ginger, Sarsaparilla, Licorice Root, Dulse, Gotu Kola, Gentian, Alfalfa, Chamomile. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops after meals, or 3 times per day. MP.E.P (Menopause-Estrogen-Progesterone) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Barbara Steman. It is a natural estrogen and progesterone replacement, which is also useful in building memory. It is helpful for PMS, Post Menopause and Menopause. COMBINATION: Dong Quai, Wild Yam, Saw Palmetto, Chaste Tree Berry, Black Cohosh, Hops, Gingko. DOSE: 20 to 40 drops once or twice per day. N.-W (Nerves) - A complete repair crew for nerve repair and calming of the nerves, at the same it is doing its repair work. Stabilize the nerves and dissolve the tension so you have a chance to deal with the problems. Promotes better coordination and control of the body functions controlled by the brain. Makes emotional tension impossible to hold on to. COMBINATION: Lady's Slpper, Blue Vervain, Scullcap, Hops, Valerian Root. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops as needed. N.P.-T (Nerve Pain-Thompson) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Joan Thompson to help relieve nerve pain from neuralgia, neuropathy, and neuritis, which is often associated with diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disease, heavy metal toxicity, bells palsy, syphilis,and leukemia. Of course, all assessments for any underlying disease must be made by a qualified physician. COMBINATION: St. John’s Wort, Scullcap, Siberian Ginseng and Oatstraw. DOSE: Adults 40 to 80 drops (3) three times a day. For children: follow the usual protocol of one drop per pound divided into three equal dosages. Apply vitamin E and one teaspoon N.P.-T to affected area and cover with cheese cloth or gauze overnight. O.C.-M - (Oral Chelation = taken by mouth + to claw out) The importance of keeping arteries and veins free of fats, cholesterol and hardened waste mineral accumulation, can be the difference between a normal life and a substandard existence with reduced activity, life expectancy and or memory problems. Oral chelation is the action of taking herbal cleaners and conditioners, by mouth, to prevent and clean out circulatory congestion. Please note, there need be no fear here of congested bits of debris breaking loose, lodging and causing a problem elsewhere. Herbs are intimately well-programed by the Creator to do their job with only intended effects and without dangerous side effects. They can be used with confidence. Chickweed dissolves fat and promotes flexibility. Flax dissolves cholesterol and a type of fat known as triglycerides (glycerol and stearic, oleic and palmitic fatty acids). Stone Root dissolves stone accumulation anywhere in the body, including heart valves, kidneys and bladder, as well as the circulatory system. The leaves of the two herbs, Ginkgo and Gotu Kola, (there is no caffeine in Gotu Kola; this is a miniature water lily, not the kola nut) nourish the brain and nervous system and keep energy flowing to them. In the process, they also build a strong memory and, in the case of a stroke, reverse the damage. If it is known specifically where the blood vessels are congested, such as the neck or the heart, then an external application can be undertaken to speed the process of cleaning and normalization. Apply Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules (International Unit, i.u., is an international measurement of liquid vitamins) to the area to prevent irritation, then Herbal Adj. to increase circulation (avoid contact with eyes, underarms and private areas as this can produce a temporary but unpleasant burning sensation, although no permanent damage is done), then apply Oil of Cajeput (with the same precaution as Herbal Adj.) to the skin to break up mucus congestion. Finally, saturate a single layer of cheese cloth or absorbent gauze with O.C.- M. Lay this over the area to be chelated. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and finally, wrap a cloth around the area to keep all in place overnight. The next morning, discard the application, wash the area and allow to dry, then put on a daytime application just as was done for the night. Continue this procedure for the night and day until chelation is completed and all structures are normal. Keeping a good working circulatory system and correcting a congested circulatory system makes good sense and improves the quality of life. COMBINATION: Ginkgo, Gotu Kola, Chickweed, Flax, Stone Root. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day and, as given above. For maintenance of the normal circulatory system, take 40 to 80 drops per day. In the case of a stroke, then the addition of Chestnut Leaf at the rate of 40 to 80 drops taken internally, 3 times per day, is a worth-while addition to complete the repair process and dissolve and prevent blood clots. P.-W (Prostate) - Combination for men. Reduce swelling and inflammation, soften and restore prostate to good working order. Resume normal urinary flow without trouble starting. Nourishes male reproductive system to promote normal sexual activity. P.-W may also be used as part of a Sitz-Bad (Ger. sit-bath) regimen. Use P.-W in conjunction with a bowel management program to keep the area free of accumulated wastes which must be emptied frequently to avoid aggravation of the healing process. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, Senna) COMBINATION: Buchu, Wild Rose Hips, White Pond Lily, Pumpkin Seed, Knitbone (Comfrey). DOSE: 40 to 80 drops after meals, or 3 times per day. For more serious cases make use of a Sitz-Bad (Sit-Bath) regimen. Use 1 Tbl. of P.-W per Sitz-Bad. (Optional: also add 40 drops of Oil of Cajeput to the sit-bath). P.A.- K - Poison Antidote - Kim (formula suggested by American herbalist, Kim Schlessinger). P.A.- K is a formula for counteracting poisons from bacteria and or viruses and poisons in general. P.A.-K also possesses potent anti-biotic properties to destroy bacteria and or viruses. COMBINATION: Echinacea, Golden Seal, Virginia Snake Root. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. If poisoning is severe, 1 Tbl. at once. As an antibiotic, 40 drops per hour, as needed, with a cup of water, unsweetened apple juice or dark grape juice. Repeat as needed. It is important to use a bowel cleaner when using an antibiotic and or poison antidote to expel the wastes which occur during this regimen. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn) P.C.- C Two prominent American herbalists, Pat Courter and Pat Castro, both, individually, recommended the production of this combination based on observable results. Thus, it bears their initials. The formula itself is the product of those who have gone before and left it as their legacy in the war against "bad cells", also know by some as "cancer". For many years users have sung its praises and recommended its use. It is not a scientific formula. It is the product of desperation and prayer, not science. It is, however, difficult to argue with success, even if "scientists" don't have their "proof" before they would accept it. In the meantime, thousands perish needlessly for lack of knowledge or alternatives. In that vacuum, P.C.-C steps in to offer hope for desperate conditions. The action of this formula works strongly to clean and correct the blood and liver functions. P.C.-C cleans, corrects, nourishes healthy cells, strengthens the immune system, oxygenates, dissolves and provides a continuing poison antidoting effect. "Bad cells" can not continue their existence in the presence of such action on the body. (SEE: SHEEP SORREL for more information) COMBINATION: Burdock, Slippery Elm, Turkey Rhubarb, Sheep Sorrel and Marshmallow Root. DOSE: 80 drops per day to prevent problems. 1 Tbl., 3 times per day, to correct the condition of "bad cells". Also, an external application to the affected area can be of great assistance in correcting the problem. Use the procedure which follows: Apply directly to the skin of the affected area, one after the other:
Then, soak a single layer of cheese cloth or absorbent gauze with P.C.- C. Place the cloth over the area. Lay a piece of plastic sandwich wrap over this, cover with another cloth and fix in place. Leave on overnight, each night, until the area is corrected. In the morning, remove and discard the application (never reuse the application). Wash the area and allow to dry. If needed, a daytime application, in the same manner, can be done to speed the healing process. P.M.S.-W (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome) - (Miseries connected with body chemistry imbalance during the monthly cycle) - As the cycle of new life approaches in the woman's body, preparation is made to clear out the old and make way for the new. Nutritional requirements characteristically soar during this time and when not attended to, misery and suffering can occur. P.M.S.-W is compounded to furnish the necessary calcium and vital minerals to stop cramping, to calm nerves, prevent fluid retention and headache, and make for a gentle sequence of events. Ovaries, uterus and the birth canal are nourished, gently cleansed, soothed, repaired and strengthened. Note: Use of the tampon is not advised, as it has been associated with a potentially fatal occurrence known as toxic shock syndrome. This is caused by the flow being held too close to the uterus and providing an incubated blood medium for varying degrees of infection. Due to the lack of pain receptors in the cervix (exit of the uterus into the vaginal vault), an infection can be in full operation for some time before discomfort is felt and detected. Therefore, for your safety, the napkin is recommended. COMBINATION: Dong Quai, Gravel Root, Red Raspberry Leaf, Partridge Berry, Blessed Thistle, Back Cohosh, Wild Yam. DOSE: 40 drops, 1 to 3 times per day, starting 10 days before and during the flow. P.N.-W (Pre-Natal combination for the mother-to-be.) So much can be done before conception and during the development of the baby, during the months of pregnancy, to ensure a happy and healthy mother and baby. Mothers-to-be and Mothers and their babies are a joy to one and all. A Naturopathic Physician loves to see mother have an easy time of pregnancy and to have an easy and quick delivery with a healthy, happy baby as the result. Families are the backbone of all societies. Having a baby is a natural occurrence and should not be treated like a "dis-ease". Women were having babies long before there were people calling themselves doctors. Women knew what to eat and how to help each other. Recorded in the diaries of the earliest white explorers of North America was the amazement over the ease and quickness with which the original Pre-Columbian North American inhabitants had their childbirth. The child came, and the same day the mothers were on their feet and resuming their duties, while feeding and caring for their newborn. No sterile hospital, no hospital bill, no cutting, no trauma, no cow's milk, no post partum psychosis (emotional disturbance after delivery). How did these women do it? HERBS! They used Red Raspberry Leaf to build a strong uterus, and Blessed Thistle to insure proper oxygenation and ability to nurse, as well as hormone stabilization. False Unicorn Root and Crampbark ensure pregnancy and prevent miscarriage, Ginger for circulation and proper digestion without nausea. Partridge Berry (Squaw Vine) to ensure proper muscle tone to form the full, normal contractions of birth and prevent infection. Together, we have a superior pre-natal program and the constituents of a proven herbal combination for all these purposes. Watch your diet, use a bowel maintenance program (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, Senna) and have a beautiful, healthy baby. COMBINATION: Red Raspberry Leaf, Blessed Thistle, False Unicorn Root, Crampbark, Ginger, Partridge Berry. DOSE: Before conception and during pregnancy and for a few weeks after pregnancy, to ensure proper placement and normalization of uterus and reproductive area, take 40 drops after each meal, or 3 times per day. P.T.B. - (PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS) If you can prevent something undesirable, why not do it? It is usually a lot easier to fix something before it breaks down into a recognizable dis-ease. This has been, and rightfully so, one of the great criticisms of "modern" medicine. Unless a person has a recognizable and diagnosable dis-ease, they are considered "healthy" or they are told, "It's all in your head". All the while, there may be all kinds of sub-clinically undetectable things going wrong to prepare the way for a dis-ease. In order for a person to get tuberculosis they have to be in a weakened enough condition where the tubercle bacillus can infect them. Otherwise, the tiny bacteria cannot find a suitable home to work their mischief. So, the working concept here is - not to provide a home for vermin like the tubercle bacillus. The combination, P.T.B., developed by the noted American natural practitioner, Micki Jones, addresses this concept. The herbs are here combined to work in the following manner: BEE POLLEN promotes healthy new cell growth, its protein gives the body's immune system what it needs for the manufacture of its own potent immune bodies; MYRRH raises the body's white blood cells and they stand at the ready to attack and defend; JUNIPER BERRIES have been taken by many doctors of natural medicine, for centuries, to keep them from falling prey to an illness as they passed among the sick to practice their art; INDIAN TOBACCO contains the powerful immune substance known as interferon; SCULLCAP calms and repairs nerves and combats the secondary problem of viral infections that like to ride on the coattails of bacterial invasions; HOREHOUND is a traditional and effective lung herb which promotes circulation in the lung tissue and cleans out congestive mucus. To take a combination of herbs like this each day, puts a person miles (or as the case may be, kilometers) ahead in the contest of health vs. dis-ease. Do get enough rest, avoid emotional conflict, eat a decent diet, do adopt a good bowel management program, (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, Senna), support known weak areas of the body and keep a strong immune system. DOSE: 40 drops per day, as a maintenance. 40 to 80 drops, 1 to 3 times per day, if in a poorer state of health. Q.N.-R - (QUIET NIGHT) Addresses the age-old problem of snoring. It has been theorized that men snore as a night protective mechanism, echoing around to frighten wild animals away from the cave. As we don't live in caves too much any more, the mechanism is considered obsolete, in most cases, and even downright annoying. Snoring is not mysterious; it occurs when the breathing passages relax during sleep and don't remain open wide enough, thus resulting in the raucous sounds we call snoring. Q.N.-R addresses this problem directly with its content of Indian Tobacco and Ephedra, and the supporting herbs of the formula, to work with the brain in keeping the breathing passages open. It's worth a try to see if it works for you. Take 40 to 80 drops right before bedtime. In some cases, it may be advantageous to take 40 drops, additionally, during the late afternoon to prepare the breathing passages for their nighttime activity. COMBINATION: Chestnut Leaf, Gotu Kola, Gravel Root, Indian Tobacco, Ephedra. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops before bedtime. Additionally, as given above. R.& S.-W (REST AND SLEEP) The Master promised rest for all those who came unto Him that were heavy laden. Rest and sleep are part of the recuperative process for those who need repair to any area of the body. Physically, rest and sleep are provided for in Nature by many of the Creator's gifts. This combination assembles an impressive array of those foods for the nervous system which calm, release tension and repair the nervous system. Of particular benefit is the non-addictive quality of herbs intended for our use. With the proper rest and sleep the world looks a lot friendlier. COMBINATION: Valerian Root, Blue Vervain, Lady's Slipper, Chamomile, Scullcap. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 to 4 times per day. Additionally, 10 to 40 drops, ˝ hr. before bedtime. R.S.T.-C (Repair of Scar Tissue) Formulated by Pat Courter & Lynn Scott. Scar tissue can form in areas of low oxygenation, and in areas that have been traumatized. Pat has come to the conclusion that when stored shock or trauma are eliminated, it helps to relieve aches and pains caused by shock and trauma. It has been said that scar tissue can form within 48 hours after injury. For the best results: take R.S.T.-C internally, and apply externally along with Arnica, on the area of the skin near or on the affected organs, muscles, nerves, ligaments, bones or vertebrae. Arnica and R.S.T.-C work great together. COMBINATION: All Cells Salt, Chickweed, Ho Shou Wo, Skunk Cabbage, Oriental Mustard Seed. DOSE: Internally: begin with 10 to 20 drops 2-3 times a day; gradually build up to 40-80 drops 2-3 times, a day. Externally: enough to cover the area. CAUTION: Do not exceed 80 drops three times a day of R.S.T.-C. The lymph glands carry most of the debris away and we do not want this cleansing action to occur so quickly that discomfort might result. S.B.-T (Superbugs) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Joan Thompson. We live in a time when many infections have become resistant to even our most potent antibiotics. We need something to help us with this. Superbugs will help kill the infection without harming the patient. COMBINATION: Grapeseed, Echinacea, Mugwort, and Sanicle. DOSE: Adults one teaspoon three times a day, or you can use 40 drops every (3 to 4) hours while in a crisis. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. Use for any infection. Children: follow the usual protocol of one drop per pound divided into three equal dosages. S.C.- W (SKIN CARE) - Is designed and formulated to care for the skin. It nourishes the skin, cleans, protects, tones, strengthens, oxygenates and repairs it. Its carefully selected teammembers perform known and desired functions all on their own, and when combined, act in a coordinated manner to offer us something new for the skin. WHOLE APRICOT cleanses, improves circulation and kills bad cells. BLACK COHOSH neutralizes poisons and destroys viral irritants. QUINCE preserves moisture and soothes. SAW PALMETTO is hormonal and ensures that reproductive areas of both sexes are properly maintained and properly developed (SEE: SAW PALMETTO for more information). A.C.S. (All Cells Salts "Minerals") nourishes and tones the skin with mineral elements from sea and land vegetables. HERBAL ADJ. (Herbal Adjustment, SEE: HERBAL ADJ.) strongly promotes and normalizes circulation to keep the skin healthy, moist and oxygenated. ECHINACEA is the antibiotic surgeon, without a knife, to sweep away dead cells and promote immunity for healthy cells. WHEAT GERM oxygenates, encourages healthy, new cellular growth and repairs irritated areas. WILD ROSE HIPS are a universal supply source to fill in any missing nutritional gaps. They contain a protective natural Vitamin C, or "body glue", which keeps the cells of the body stuck together and prevents aging. DANDELION LEAF is the source of natural, all purpose Vitamin A for correcting any skin or eye problem. S.C.-W is the finest nature has to offer. Enjoy it. COMBINATION: Whole Apricot, Black Cohosh, Quince, Saw Palmeno, A.C.S. (All Cells Salts), Herbal Adj., Echinacea, Wheat Germ, Wild Rose Hips, Dandelion Leaf. DOSE: Apply to skin as needed and desired, after bathing, shaving or cleansing. As this formula contains a form of red pepper, avoid contact with eyes. Flush with water and remain calm if contact is made. S.D.-R (Stone Dissolver-Reuben) Practiced Amish Herbalist, Reuben Schwartz, recommends this highly successful combination, as being "better than a hammer for smashing kidney and bladder stones and dissolving them". The stones do not irritate in the process of dissolving, as the Marshmallow portion in this combination coats the particles and slides them out. COMBINATION: Stone Root, Gravel Root, Marshmallow Root, Hydrangea Root. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops hourly, while awake, with a glass of water until dissolved. A slower approach is 80 drops three times per day. SI.-W (Sinus problems) The much relied upon and appreciated formula for sinus congestion. 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 liquify 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 liquifies 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 liquified, they come off layer by layer just as they were laid down. This may involve extensive drainage, and many colors of 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 liquify 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 ear canals with Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules to reduce any irritation. Then insert a cotton ball soaked with SI.-W into each ear canal. This 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 meal. This causes the body to use an emergency exit, such as the sinuses, to expel the wastes. Therefore, please use a digestaid and a bowel maintenance program with the use of SI.-W to cut off the source of the sinus problems. (Digestaids, SEE: Gentian, Sweet Root, Scarlet Pimpernel, D.-W); (Bowel Maintenance, SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn, Senna) COMBINATION: Bayberry, Golden Seal, Wood Betony, Gentian, Chickweed, Oregon Grape. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day, and as given above. S.M.F.-B (Stress Maintenance Formula) - Supplies an organic source of Calcium, B-Complex and Vitamin C, with its other naturally associated vitamin and mineral complexes, for those "rough days". S.M.F.-B makes for steady nerves when we are over taxed and pushed. This combination also assists in removal of fluid build up and keeps the kidneys, heart, and lungs, clean and functioning properly, to smooth out the difficult times. COMBINATION: Rice Bran, Wild Rose Hips, CA.-W, UR.-W, Pleurisy Root. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. ST.-W (Stomach) One of the old prophets in the Holy Bible healed the king's ulcers with ripe figs. It still works. In todays "modern" environment we have this old friend, along with those herbs which have also been known to repair ulcers and stomach maladies of many kinds, as a support team for this base of ripe figs. ST.-W was originally designed for "lawyer's stomach". It is a true statement to say, "I have never met a lawyer with a good stomach". They eat other people's problems all day long, and sometimes all night as well. In addition, they have been known to devour bridges, buildings and all their fixtures, pavement, right-of-ways, whole forests, land, cars and the like, boats, airplanes, etc., bank accounts, and various intangibles. This is a stress on their digestive system. It is our herbal contention, if an herbal formula will handle even a "lawyer's stomach", it will handle about anyone's stomach. ST.-W does handle "lawyer's stomach". ST.-W repairs stomach lining, coats walls of stomach, heals ulcers, also intestinal ulcers and urinary tract ulcers. Keeps surface of stomach, intestines and colon soothed with a healing, breathing patch to prevent irritation, while actively pursuing the healing process. COMBINATION: Figs, Flax, Bitter Aloe, Dandelion Root. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops before meals. If working on intestinal ulcers, take as much as 1 Tbl. 3 to 4 times per day. T.- W (Thyroid) - Organic, natural iodine and more for the thyroid. The thyroid is a large gland with the appearance of a bunch of flattened grapes which sets at the base of the neck under the voice box. Here is the sub-station in control of blood calcium levels and calm nerves, strong nails, weight control, energy, hair that does not break off and healthy skin. When the thyroid is properly nourished, hands and feet warm up and fibroid tumors are prevented and/or reabsorbed. Remember, not just the thyroid requires a high grade natural source of iodine, the ovaries store iodine also for their proper health. The thyroid, however, is a "hog" and takes its iodine first. If there is not enough for both, or either, the thyroid takes it all and thus, fibroid tumors occur. If the thyroid does not get enough nutrients it may swell in size in an attempt to absorb more by getting bigger. The base of the neck may become fat and or the thyroid may enlarge internally. This is a common cause of feeling like there is always something in the throat that can not be swallowed. If the chemical iodine added to salt actually worked, with all the salt in the typical diet, there would be no problems as listed here. White salt is refined salt, which is another way of saying it has been robbed of every thing except sodium and chlorine and chemical iodine which may be added to it. If a person has a "taste" for salt, then assume they are mineral deficient and lacking the assortment of the many true mineral salts which should be in the body and would be found in unrefined salt. Much better than unrefined salt, would be to take the mineral salts from the living lattice of sea vegetables which have them organized in a form to support life. With that in mind, we take either V.M.-W (Vital Minerals), T.-W or A.C.S. (All Cells "Salts" minerals) for a balanced mineral profile. Most so-called "weight loss diets" do not result in weight loss because they do not address proper thyroid nutrition and thus regulate the speed at which food is burned and energy is released. You may also find, with proper thyroid nutrition, the fingers no longer shake when the arms and hands are extended and the fingers spread apart; as well as strange fears that simply disappear. COMBINATION: Dulse, Bladderwrack, Wild Lettuce, Irish Moss. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops, 3 times per day. In cases of severe depletion, then 40 to 80 drops, 3 times per day. If you feel "nervous" after taking, simply reduce the amount and the feeling will go away shortly. If you feel nothing, gradually increase the amount until you do feel more energy. Note: T.-W can be applied externally to the base of the neck under the voice box, if desired, rather than taking it internally. You may have to use a little more than would be the case for internal use. Apply externally 3 times per day. If very sensitive skin, apply Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules first. T.G.& P.-W (Teeth, Gums and Plaque) - First of all, please let us recall that teeth were meant to be in good condition, look well, and serve easily for a lifetime. And, they did this long before there were dentists. The skeletal evidence of this is abundant, and shows the exact point of contact when poor diets were introduced to a community group by what was considered "civilization". But, what can we do to ensure healthy teeth and correct existing problems? Answer, use the teeth and gum herbs and reduce the intake of refined carbohydrates (refined sugar and white flour products). Blood Root eats and cleans away plaque ( a nasty buildup of bacteria that eats the roots of teeth and lays down a disgusting odor-forming deposit). Blood Root destroys plaque at the rate of about 50% with each 2 weeks of use. White Oak Bark is an antibiotic and astringent to tighten up teeth in their sockets. Myrrh, of Biblical heritage, was employed for thousands of years for dental procedures to prevent infections and heal damaged gums. This powerful formulation of T.G.& P.-W is allied with another formula, OL'#11, which is part of its combination. OL'#11 is a repairer of bone, flesh, cartilage and nerves. Never has more complete coverage been developed for healthy teeth and gums. As an aside, if you have a toothache much can be done. Sometimes it is as simple as giving enough minerals to the teeth. For example, if the body is mineral deficient, the teeth will hurt. They "scream" for minerals, as do bones that are broken or mineral deficient. When they do, administer as much as 3 teaspoons full of A.C.S. (All Cells "Salts" minerals) to the sufferer. If due to mineral deficiency, the pain will stop within minutes. Repeat this as often as it starts to hurt again. The teeth will soak up these minerals like a sponge. If a tooth is simply aggravated beyond the point of being consoled, then saturate a cotton ball or even a piece of paper napkin with T.G.& P.-W and Vitamin E (from a capsule), add a drop of Clove Oil or Oil Of Cajeput to this. Place this between the tooth and the cheek and leave in place until the pain subsides. Another thing that can be done is to take massive amounts, such as 10,000 mg. at a time, of Vitamin C during the time of discomfort. Who knows, you just may save yourself a root canal. COMBINATION: Blood Root ,Myrrh, White Oak Bark, Marshmallow, Mullein, Mugwort, Indian Tobacco, Scullcap, Knitbone (Comfrey), Black Walnut Hull, Gravel Root. DOSE: For daily maintenance, 20 to 40 drops, once per day in a little juice, internally. For active cases of gum, plaque and tooth problems, 20 to 40 drops on the tongue or in juice, following meals. Additionally, soak a cotton ball with T.G.& P.-W and place between teeth and cheek overnight, after brushing. Or 40 drops in the water-pick container, place on a low speed setting and irrigate the gums between the teeth areas nightly, after brushing. Be sure to run a full container of plain water through the water-pick to flush the instrument after using T.G.& P.-W. Sometimes toothpastes, especially the candy varieties these days, with chemical flouride and strange ingredients, which actually do more harm than good, just do not do an adequate job of cleaning gums and teeth and problems occur. Try a tooth powder. Get one which does not contain urea, chemical flouride, titanium dioxide or other strange ingredients. Don't worry about scrubbing the enamel off of the teeth. If you are taking minerals, and have a daily intake of Vitamin D, then the teeth will maintain themselves just fine. T.L.C. (Throat-Laryngitis-Colds) This blend was put together by Practiced Herbalist, Pat Courter. Used for sore throat, allergies, sinus infection, laryngitis, and for chemical poisoning and digestion. The “singers friend”. COMBINATION: Bayberry, Bee Pollen Special, Bee Propolis, Virginia Snake Root, D.-W., Bilberry. DOSE: 60 to 80 drops (3) times per day. Can be applied externally to the chest area, and as needed until symptoms disappear. Children: One drop per pound divided into three equal dosages. For throat & Laryngitis, the suggested amount: 1 Tbs. per hour (or 1 1/2 tsp. every 30 minutes.) UR.-W (Urinary) - For urinary tract problems of all kinds, corrects burning, reduces swelling of prostate and uterus, pinching, pressure, tightens urinary sphincter control to correct incontinence and dissolves stones of the kidneys and bladder. When using a kidney formula for dissolving accumulated waste or flushing out infections, it is a good idea to drink at least 6 glasses of a good spring water per day, or "Green Drink" can be taken at the rate of 1 cup full, every hour, while awake. Prepare a live green drink by blending 1 handfull of any fresh, edible green leaves of lettuce (no head lettuce please) with 1 pint (1/2 liter) of water. Blend for one minute and filter through a paper coffee filter, if desired. Make fresh daily, and chill in the refrigerator to keep throughout the day. If going out, then take an insulated vacuum bottle along for hourly use. If urine flow has stopped, then liberally apply UR.-W directly to the kidney areas on the back which are under and above the last ribs. Apply several times until the urinary flow resumes. If a stubborn problem that requires more intensive work, then apply Vitamin E from 100 i.u. capsules (i.u. stands for International Unit and is a measure of liquid vitamins) to prevent irritation. Next, especially if there is pain, apply Herbal Adj. and Peppermint Oil or Oil of Cajeput directly to the skin. Then, soak a single layer of absorbent gauze or cheese cloth with UR.-W and lay this over the kidney area. Cover with plastic sandwich wrap and finally, wrap a cloth around the body to hold all in place. This procedure is known as a fomentation (fo'-men-tay-shun). Leave on overnight, each night, until well. This can be repeated for the daytime, if needed. Wash the area and allow to dry before putting on a new fomentation. Never reuse a fomentation as this time-release procedure not only drives the herbs into the affected area, it also pulls poisons out of the body in the reverse direction. Take internally, daily, to correct infections and prevent problems. For men and women it is very important to have a good bowel maintenance program, in conjunction with solving urinary problems, to guard against bowel wastes being reabsorbed and irritating the surrounding areas. (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn) For women it is important to use the napkin instead of the tampon, as the tampon holds irritants internally that aggravate surrounding areas. If additional assistance is needed, then consider the use of Pipsissewa (or Blue Cohosh if not pregnant) in case venereal infections may be related to the suffering, at the rate of 40 drops, 3 times per day. COMBINATION: Cornsilk, Uva Ursi, Gravel Root, Buchu, Yarrow. DOSE: As a daily maintenance of the urinary tract, 30 to 40 drops per day. If an active problem, then 40 to 80 drops internally, after meals, or hourly while awake, in times of crisis and as given above. V.M.-W (Vital Minerals) - A first class source of vital minerals for body maintenance and satisfying body cravings for minerals; and, to neutralize and prevent acid conditions. V.M.-W can be employed successfully, to restore and maintain electrolytes (those minerals vital to the operation of the nerves and the functions they control). A specialized use of this is to make successive applications of V.M.-W (or the formula A.C.S.), in the quantities needed, to cover the soles of the feet, ankles and calves of the legs of a person who is about to have an operation or a person who has just had and operation, to counteract the effects of surgical shock. This is especially important if they are having trouble regaining consciousness. Prevents and relieves fluid retention, and opens obstructions of the spleen. V.M.-W dissolves buildup of acid crystals and cleans, internally, to clear up eczema. V.M.-W can be used to dissolve obstructions in the body, such as: plugs of fat in the blood stream, pieces of rock or grit in tubes and ducts, and does so in such a manner that the rocks and fat plugs become liquified and can be passed harmlessly out of the body. COMBINATION: Kelp, Dandelion Root, Alfalfa. DOSE: 10 to 40 drops after meals, or 3 times per day and as given above. V.V.H.-W (Varicose Veins and Hemorrhoids) - Only in very recent, modern times have so-called learned men in North America thrown up their hands in despair about correcting varicose veins and resorted to cutting people with knives in a vain attempt to correct weak veins. This is barbaric. Cutting a well person with a knife hurts them, you can imagine what it does to a sick person. What we must do is work on the cause of the problem. Knives do not cut out the cause of the problem, they cut out the result of the problem. If the cause of the problem is not addressed and corrected, then it is free to cause the same problem again in the very same area, or ravage another part of the body, such as cause a stroke or rupture of a vessel in the lungs or heart, or varicose veins elsewhere. Let us work on the cause. Knitbone (Comfrey) is a body glue that glues you back together again; Horse Chestnut Leaves, White Oak Bark and Calendula are officially recognized by natural practitioners as a cure for varicose veins. Calendula softens scar tissue and adhesions (blood vessels or intestines or other structures growing together and causing a blockage, with resultant back-up and swelling) and cause normal flexibility to return to these structures. White Oak Bark also functions as a first-rate antibiotic. This truly inspired team of herbs is a blessing to Mankind in its efforts to alleviate suffering and disappointment. So remember, a team like this will probably do you a lot more good than a potato chip and a soda pop, to keep your body young and in good shape. If overweight, however, you may have to shed a few pounds to take the weight stress off of your legs and or hemorrhoid areas to affect lasting repair and prevent a reoccurrence. Other than that, eliminate acid foods, clean up your diet, adjust your weight, use a bowel maintenance program (SEE: Cascara Sagrada, C.C.E.-W, Buckthorn) and enjoy the benefits of V.V.H.-W combination. COMBINATION: Knitbone (Comfrey), Calendula, Chestnut Leaves, White Oak Bark, Wild Rose Hips. DOSE: 80 drops, 4 times per day, faithfully, along with a bowel maintenance program which produces at least 2, and preferably 3, soft, easy and complete movements per day. NOTE: Most cases respond within 2 weeks. After this time, consider a maintenance amount of V.V.H.-W to prevent reoccurrence. Also, continue a good bowel maintenance program. In this case, what gets you well usually keeps you well. SPECIAL NOTE: V.V.H.-W has been used by practitioners to repair blood vessels throughout the body such as in the lungs, of the heart and brain. Its use need not be confined to the area of the rectum and legs for repair of varicose veins. W.-W - (WORMS) Is for the elimination of worms and parasites of all kinds. This very widely used and enjoyed formula has taken on, and bested, parasites that aren't even listed in books yet, as well as those that are. This is a full spectrum approach to clearing the body area of all types of vermin. By incorporating the many-sided approach of the combination of Mugwort & Wormseed (SEE: Mugwort & Wormseed), and adding the other time-honored allies, Pumpkin Seed, Black Walnut, Male Fern and Cascara Sagrada, we have widened the approach and mechanisms of killing and elimination of any parasites, thus making their escape virtually impossible. Because it has been observed and demonstrated that parasites can and do occur in just about any body part, including any of the organs, glands, blood and other circulatory fluids, muscles, brain and nervous system, a wide-spread approach in types of herbs that disable and kill parasites proves to be a very sensible choice. Pumpkin Seed is gentle and sure in the war against pinworms. Black Walnut has an added benefit of also gravitating to the nervous system to root out and terminate irritating and persistent vermin. It is slower than some other herbs, but very gentle and thorough. Male Fern Root specializes in the eradication of the tapeworm. Cascara Sagrada expels the degenerating dead parasites and prevents self-poisoning from the poisons they produce. COMBINATION: Mugwort, Male Fern Root, Pumpkin Seed, Black Walnut Hulls, Cascara Sagrada. DOSE: 80 drops to 1 Tbl. each evening until free of torment. W.L.-W (Weight Loss) The object of weight loss is not just to take weight off of you. You can do that easily enough by starvation, hunger diets, or a short trip to a concentration camp. The real object of weight loss should be the loss of excess pounds until you feel your best, whatever weight that is. In the process, we expect to have you looking great and feeling even better in an improved state of health. Then you can move around again without having to "sit this one out." How many times have you seen people forcibly lose weight and achieve it? And then someone says, "Oh, I bet you feel so much better and you look so much better". And they don't. They look "haunted" or "tortured" and feel like they just managed to escape from a forced-labor chain gang camp, where they were on starvation rations. Friend, if you think you are overweight, you had better get the glands and organs of digestion and organs of elimination working again and change your diet for the better, before you dump all that extra weight. Let's take a quiet, unemotional approach to this problem. The best series of events would be to eat the proper food and digest it correctly. Then we have energy to move, and energy and material to repair the body's daily wear and tear, as well as past abuses. Now we have to escort the rest of the used and/or unused food out of the body through the proper exit. Along with this, we have to collect and take out the garbage of dead cells and cellular poisons thrown off in the routine processes of living. If you don't have a bowel elimination 2, and preferably 3, times per day (as many times as you have meals, just like a baby or your pet dog), your system backs up and you get "bad breath" or body odor or sinus conditions or skin problems or worse, and feel rotten and your mood may be surly, profane and uncooperative. So, we should have a digestaid and a gentle, natural bowel cleaning herb. Gentian and Cascara Sagrada, respectively, do this. Now, let's have a good potassium source for strengthening and firming the muscles and preventing sagging, without the need for "serious exercise". Dandelion Leaves do this. A fat digester in the form of Chickweed is a good idea. Siberian Ginseng and Licorice Root provide energy and stamina and feed the glands so you don't age prematurely as you drop the weight. Low fat and no cholesterol diets take weight off of you all right, and they age you rapidly due to starving the glands of what they need to make hormones. Additionally, vegetable oil should be taken daily to prevent hunger feelings and as a glandular food. Remember, calories are not just calories. Vegetable oil burns more slowly than sugar or starch. Daily, take internally or rub into the inner thighs, 1 - 3 Tbl. of a vegetable oil such as an All Blend type or Peanut Oil or Olive Oil. Use no margarine or Crisco type fats. They are pretty good as axle greases, not as digestible foods. We are not counting calories, we are counting essential nutrients necessary for health and when the body gets that, it drops fluid and excess fat. 100 calories of natural vegetable oils will satisfy you far longer than 500 calories of doughnuts or candy. Vegetable oils contain what are known as essential fatty acids, which are needed by every cell in the body. To deprive the body of them is to ensure an untimely demise ("very early check out time"). Dulse is a purple sea vegetable which regulates the body's cellular furnaces by giving the thyroid (the body's thermostat) gland at the base of the neck, just above the chest, what it needs to regulate the rate at which food is burned. Contained in the rich nutrient supply of Dulse is a natural, very active source of desirable Iodine. With a well supplied thyroid you don't feel sluggish. You can move around and shed pounds. Chickweed and Dandelion Leaf also help us, as diuretics, to relieve fluid retention. Now, add to this well designed combination a protein food at each meal, for example, a cereal grain such as rye, millet, brown rice (please no Uncle Ben's converted rice) or yellow corn. These can be taken in the form of cereals or breads or crackers. Aged cheeses can be taken, such as Swiss or Cheddar or Munster. Do not use wheat or potatoes. They stick to the ribs. Nut butters, real ones (not Jiffy or Skippy confection types) such as peanut, almond, sesame or sunflower are excellent sources of protein and oils. Keep natural nut butters refrigerated after opening, as they contain no chemical "preservatives". Yogurt from regular real milk (NOT Low Fat Type) provides not only easily digested protein, but also, a rich source of B-Complex Vitamins for energy and well being. Eggs are ok. Use only fertile eggs. Just don't harden the yellow and you can forget about cholesterol being a problem. Enjoy them "sunny side up", "over easy", soft boiled, poached or raw, blended in black cherry juice. If cholesterol were really the enemy we are told it is, then all baby chicks would be "born dead" and died of hardening of the arteries. Cholesterol is used by the body's glands to make hormones. If you don't eat enough cholesterol in foods, your own liver will actually start manufacturing it, and more than you could probably eat even if you worked really hard at it. Other acceptable sources of protein are seafood, fish, chicken or turkey. You can also use a protein source such as Protein Extract or, if you desire vegetable sources, use Five Good Extract or Liquid Bee Pollen at the rate of 20 to 80 drops per meal. Have a large green salad each day. Please, no Iceberg head lettuce, as it is not green enough. COMBINATION: Chickweed, Gentian, Siberian Ginseng, Dulse, Dandelion Leaf, Licorice Root, Cascara Sagrada. DOSE: 40 to 80 drops 3 times per day. By using W.L.-W you may drop some unwanted water weight and inches before dropping pounds of fat. Weight reduction may be slow at first with only inches of water weight lost first. You will not, however, be damaged health-wise in the process. A good idea is also to take 40 drops of Vita-Lixir (an all vegetable source multi vitamin supplement) and 40 drops of A.C.S. (All Cells "Salts" minerals from all vegetable sources) along with 40 drops of W.L.-W at each meal. And then don't eat again until you are actually hungry. To complete the flushing process necessary to this program, drink 6 to 8 glasses of spring water each day. Now, persist with this life style change and you will reach the destination you have desired, and in the process regain your health. |
