Osteoporosis

I went to a Holistic Health Fair over the weekend and got to enjoy lots of raw foods including raw chocolate sweetened with dates, so good! One of the vendors had a bone density machine and I have been curious how my bones are doing since both my Mom and Grandmother had osteoporosis. The great news was that for my age my bone density level is above normal and the guy told me to keep doing what ever it is that I am doing.

I rarely ever drink soft drinks, which are well known for leaching calcium from the bones. To keep my bones strong I eat Herbal Calcium which is a great combo of herbs that are high in calcium. We have it available in capsules, extract, bulk and for those that want to save money as a mix your own formula. I like to get the mix your own formula because you get 3.5 pounds of powder for $58.00. I add a heaping teaspoon in with the Jurassic Green that I drink every day.

Another product that is great for rebuilding bones is the Complete Tissue and Bone Formula. This formula has been a life saver for me over the years. First when I was battling Rheumatoid Arthritis, and later with occasional injuries. It is a great one for rebuilding bones for any reason including osteoporosis.

Smokers often get osteoporosis as well as women who have gone through menopause. Women that are menopausal would do well to add Hormonal Changease to balance the hormones, as well as Vitamin D which most people are low in. Foods that are high in Calcium and Vitamin D are broccoli, cabbage, kale, watercress, alfalfa, cod liver oil and sun exposure.

Key to health

Dr. Christopher said “There are no incurable diseases, there are only incurable people” and I find that statement to be very true. I will have people ask me what to do for "name of disease”. The first thing out of my mouth is always about food, and this is where the person almost always holds up their hands and says I don’t want to hear anything about changing my diet. I have watched many of those people die over the years, and it is a sad thing that people won’t give up the garbage they are eating but will poison their bodies with radiation, chemotherapy and drugs trying to get well. Please invest in yourself and your family by learning about how much food matters. Our health is dependent on the food we eat and if we are eating nothing but garbage, then we need to expect that our bodies will be a product of what we eat. Learn about Dr. Christopher’s Mucusless Diet and view videos on Daniel's Challenge website, that teaches about all the wonderful foods that will help us have the best in health.

Cleanse. The purpose of cleansing is to prepare the body for natural healing. Cleansing is very helpful even if people don’t want to change their diet. Often when I mention cleansing people say, “I poop, I don’t need to cleanse”. Pooping is good, but there is a lot more to cleansing than the fact that you poop. Do you poop three times a day? If not you need colon cleansing. Do you have bad skin? Likely you need Blood Cleansing and Liver Cleansing. Impurities leave the body via sweat, bowel movements and urination, hence a Kidney Cleanse helps to keep things cleaned up as much as the Bowel Cleanse does. Dr. Christopher said that the blood stream is the river of life, what does your river look like? The Liver filters a huge amount of the toxins out of the body, you clean your furnace filter, shouldn't you clean your liver? We have amazing pricing on the cleanse kits.

Nourish. Once the body is cleansed it will be able to absorb the nutrients found in the whole foods and herbs. Nourishing herbs for everyone include Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green. They are packed full of phyto-nutrients, whole food vitamins, trace minerals, active enzymes, chlorophyll, balanced amino acids and other important nutrients needed by the body. Both Jurassic Green and Vitalerbs help to promote alkalinity of the body. Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green are vitamins and minerals your body can use. Both are available in capsules
and powder.

Heal. Healing happens naturally and at its own speed as the body continues to eliminate impurities and strengthen through proper nourishment. One of the signs of healing comes with occasional aches & pains in the areas where the cleaning is most acute. Patience is required as the body goes through these phases. Our bodies were designed to be able to heal themselves and they will heal if we give them the proper nutrients. Herbal Legacy is a great place to learn more about which products to use to treat your ailment. If you aren’t getting the progress that you desire, then go back to the top and learn more about diet because it is the true key to our health.

Eye Infection/Pink Eye

This is a good month to stock up at herbsfirst.com because your favorite Christopher’s formulas are 35% off this month! It is better to have things on hand and not need them, than to need them and not have them!

I have been faithfully using Christopher’s Herbal Eyebright Eyewash and Western Botanicals Herbal Eyewash Formula combined for about a month and half now. From the first day using it my vision has been much clearer, and now that I’ve been using the combined eyewash daily I don’t wake up with blurry problems from the cataracts. I have worn glasses since I was 2 years old and I don’t know if it will be able to correct my vision problems due to the fact that I had three surgeries as a child and I have a very severe astigmatism. My hope is that it will dissolve the cataracts and if it does more then that will be a bonus. As I mentioned in my April newsletter-blog, I combine the two because I have dry eyes and can’t handle more than one drop of Christopher’s formula due to the cayenne. I use Western Botanicals Herbal Eyewash formula without cayenne and combine it with Christopher's to be able to get the healing benefit from all of the other herbs in the formulas. I use the eye cups once a day and wash each eye for at least a minute. Dr. Christopher says to try to do it for five minutes, I have a ways to go to meet that goal. I also mix up a tiny dropper bottle of the combined formulas and use it throughout the day. Its a busy life and this method works well for me. I’m going to continue on for a total of six months and then get a checkup and see how I am doing.

Last Friday my right eye was hurting a bit so I decided not to use the eyewash. On Saturday morning my eye was slightly red and I wondered if I had pink eye, but we were headed off to a morning wedding so we went on our way. As the day progressed every time I looked in the mirror my eye was redder and redder and hurt a bit more. By the time we got home at five in the evening it was very obvious to me that I did indeed had a little infection going on. Lucky for me I had the solution to the problem, and had I used the Herbal Eyebright/Eyewash combo on Friday I likely would have had a much better Saturday. I mixed up the formulas and started using them quite a few times that night, by the time I went to bed that night my eye was no longer red and felt fine when I got up in the morning.

A little trip to Instacare with a prescription would have likely cost $75.00 - $100.00. Having one of these formulas on hand at a cost of about $11.00 is worth it, and it lasts longer than one treatment. Since these formulas are alcohol extract they have a very long shelf life, so if you bought it today and didn’t need it for ten years, ten years from now it will be fine to use it. It is best to get two eyecups, one for each eye so if there is infection you don't spread it from eye to eye.

Sinus Infection

This is a good month to stock up at herbsfirst.com because your favorite Christopher’s formulas are 35% off this month only! It is better to have things on hand and not need them, than to need them and not have them on hand!

I had a new experience this past week that I have never had before. I thought I was just having severe hayfever and all week, I had had a pretty bad headache that just wouldn’t go away, in spite of eating healthy, drinking lots of water, cleansing herbs, etc. By the end of the week my nose was very sore and somewhat swollen, so my thoughts were that I must have a sinus infection. I asked Hollie if that’s how it felt, since she has had them and she confirmed it. I had been taking lots of the Sinus Allergy Formula along with Immucalm for the symptoms, so I then added the Infection Formula in with that mix. Monday morning when I got up I was finally feeling much better. I’ll continue with the herbs for a few more days to get it totally cleared out of my head. I’m happy that I always have my favorite herbs on hand when I need them! Infection Formula is one that I use quite often when I have a cold coming on. It is another one of my must have Christopher formulas.

HCG Homeopathic Diet Drops

When I was twenty I had a hyperactive thyroid. Since this was before I knew much about natural healing I went to doctor’s route with radioactive iodine to kill off part of the thyroid. Bad idea, and not one that I have been able to reverse through natural healing. Lesson learned, but due to a slow thyroid I have battled weight problems since that time and I’m not happy about it! I had about given up on weight loss, because everything I would try didn’t work for long. I have a slow metabolism and I decided that I'm just going to have to live with being a bit on the heavy side. I have kept my weight somewhat under control, but I was still carrying about 40 lbs.

Jeff our wonderful warehouse guy likes to bring in new products and try to get me to put them on Herbs First website. I would turn him down about 98% of the time. I feel we have the best of what is available, why confuse people with more products? In May he asked me if I knew anything about hCG and would I be interested in carrying it. I did know some things about it, mainly that it was shots given at a doctor’s office, which would never interest me, and that people are losing a lot of weight really fast.

HCG is an abbreviation for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is the pregnancy hormone that almost completely controls metabolic functions. This hormone allows the body to mobilize fat and use it as energy for both mother and fetus. HCG “tricks” your mind into changing its metabolism which helps burn the fat. HCG can be used by men and women.

My cousin who had her thyroid surgically removed has been successful with losing quite a bit of weight on hCG. I called her to get more info, asking what she knew about the drops, and she informed me that she had switched from the shots to the drops and was still losing weight. I felt that with our similarities that maybe hCG drops would work for me, since it involves a change in the metabolism.

I started the HCG diet seventeen days ago and have lost 13 pounds so far. The first thing I have to say is this is a hard diet. You eat only 500 calories a day, which is a pretty small amount of food. I realized when I started this diet that I was "popping" food more than I thought, usually healthy food, but all those nuts I like to eat are high in calories. Even though it is hard I haven't cheated once and I am proud of that fact. You need to stick to the food menus and not deviate from them or you won’t lose weight. Your body becomes immune to hCG so you can only use hCG for 21 days or 42 days if you use it only 6 days week. After competing the cycle with hCG you need to stay on 500 calories for three days while the hCG gets out of your system. For the next three weeks increase your calories but not eat any sugar or starches, and for the three weeks following that you can start adding in sugar and starches. By sticking to the protocol you will lower your setpoint to accept the lost weight. You can then start another cycle when the six weeks are done, but the next cycle after that you need to add 2 more weeks onto the six for every cycle that you do. Hence, the third cycle would be 8 weeks after completing the hCG phase, 4th cycle would be 10 weeks after the hCG phase and so on.

This diet has been around since the 50’s in Europe and has continued to be a successful plan for many people. I know quite a few people that have had stomach by-pass surgery and none of them are healthy today. HCG is a much better alternative for people that want to lose weight quickly. There are many recipes on a blog to help you with meal planning. Planning is the key as well as sticking to the diet.

Many websites are selling the hCG drops for $100. or more. Here at Herbs First you can get a 2 oz. bottle for only $39.95.
