Is it Cold & Flu Season or Sugar Season??

    The month of October starts the sugar season, which really is Cold & Flu Season!!  Dr. Christopher always taught people that if they ate right then their bodies would be strong and not susceptible to all the germs that are causing the illness to spread. I have found this to be true. In the past I would buy Halloween candy the first part of October and I would end up eating it all. I would buy more for the kiddo’s and pick some up the day after Halloween at half price. Then continue on with the high sugar consumption through Thanksgiving and Christmas and on until the end of the year! I would get sick and stay sick for at least six weeks and always during Christmas and that is no way to spend Christmas every year!

    I would make a batch of Dr. Christopher’s Anti Plague formula (Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula) every 18 months. This is about a gallon of the formula, and as a family three of us could go through it that fast. My husband couldn’t handle the liquid formula, so I was happy when Western Botanicals came out with it in capsules now called Immu-Defense available in liquid. It honestly takes at least one 16 oz. bottle to kick a really bad illness, so please keep that in mind when ordering!

     I just looked and I still have 4 full bottles of the last formula I made in 2011. I gave away a bottle last year to someone in need, so haven’t even used it all ourselves in all those years! Eating right makes all the difference in the world! I will still always have this formula and other great formulas on hand for fighting Sugar/Cold and Flu Season, because being prepared is a big part of staying healthy!

     With the cold weather already starting it would be best to stock up on the liquid formula now. First because it has problems with freezing and second because both companies will run out of it, so please don’t be caught without the great formulas that you need to keep your family healthy this holiday and winter season!

      I love talking to my customers, please call me if you have any questions. We sell a kit to make your own Anti-Plague, I’d be happy to talk you through it.

Single herb capsules and extracts, so many to choose from!

Western Botanicals is a very reputable company. They test all of their herbs for purity and contaminates. Anything that comes in with problems is sent back. The herbs are always the best available, often organic and wild crafted.

You can rest assured that when you buy Western Botanicals you are getting the best herbs available. This goes for their whole product line. I have been using them along with Dr. Christopher’s for many years. If you enjoy using single herbs I know you will be impressed with the quality!

Western Botanicals Single Capsules

Western Botanicals Single Extracts

I looked in my cupboard to see how many single herbs I have and was amazed how many I have. They are very useful for healing and worth learning about and keeping on hand.

Here are a few that I use, just a small list to give you an idea of how wonderful single herbs can be. I have some in extract and some in capsules and I’ll let you know which ones I use, but they are both great to use. The links go to The Herbal Legacy website that is run by The School of Natural Healing.

Cayenne – I have both capsules and extract. This is a Dr. Christopher favorite and the one he feels turned around his heart problems. He liked to take the powder in water and I have done that from time to time, but I struggle with the hot in my mouth. I have the extract and will use it in an emergency, since it can immediately stop a heart attack and stroke. I use the capsules when mosquitos are out, if I am getting a migraine with those weird eye symptoms or if I’m cold.

Dandelion – I use both capsules & extract, bulk is also available. Amazing herb! I used this back when I wat hit with arthritis and had gout in my feet. I wouldn’t wish gout on anyone, it is very painful. Dandelion helped to break up the uric acid crystals and make life bearable. Click here to read my arthritis story.

Ginger – love this one and use capsules, also available in extract. I would take it all throughout my period from right before it starts to the end and no cramping. I use it for travel and is the great for car/air sickness if taken beforehand. It really works and doesn’t make you all drowsy like the Dramamine does!

Kava Kava – I use capsules at night – 2 at bedtime, its relaxing and I don’t have problems with leg cramps or Charlie horses. I wake up feeling good in the morning. Available in bulk and extract as well.

Lobelia – I have extract. A lifesaver for people with lung/bronchial issues. I’ve woken up in the night with a heaviness in my chest and had the feeling I need to get up right now and take Lobelia. After taking it I’m able to cough up the phlegm and get back to sleep.

Black Walnut & Pau D’Arco – I have used both Black Walnut extract and Pau D'Arco extract  when I was doing the Candida program. It took me a good 9 months of being faithful to finally overcome that crazy situation. I feel so much better now and it is wonderful to not have those crazy sugar cravings and other awful candida symptoms!

Use the search box and the website and put in what you are looking for. It will give you the sizes and types. Some single herbs are available in syrup as well as capsules and extract, 2 oz & 4 oz. sizes. Capsules are bottles of 100 for the single herbs. Bulk is cut, powder and whole, 4, 8 & 16 oz. We are here to help you, give us a call to place an order or ask a question.

Comparing Conventional Medicine to Natural Medicine

Dr. Christopher taught his patients how to eat right and use herbs to in order to be healthy. I love that there is so much information about eating right and using natural medicine on the internet. We have been striving to eat right and using natural medicine for many years and my husband remarks to me how much healthier we are than many people that we know. He tells me how grateful he is that I take such good care of him! I say back to him, “thank you for cooperating”!

I have talked to quite a few people that are trying to get their family on track with eating wholesome foods and using herbs, but many are really struggling with this! The battle is real, but just make those changes little by little and you will get there!

The choice is: are we going to keep eating whatever we want, and use conventional medicine to only get worse and worse, or are we going to change our diet and use the herbs and essential oils to help us maintain optimum health??

Dr. Christopher often said, this is a do it yourself plan. Learn what to do and then do it!
Comparing Conventional Medicine to Natural Medicine

Main Focus of Conventional Medicine: Destroy, kill or cut out a disease or malfunctioning body part.

How Conventional Medicine uses Symptoms: Different methods are used to suppress or remove the symptoms. The symptom is thought of as a disease and is treated as such, never getting to the cause of why those symptoms are present.

Conventional Medicine Method: Attack, kill and remove disease using drugs, radiation or surgery. Alter or remove malfunctioning parts or organs such as mastectomy, hysterectomy, tonsillectomy, radiation, etc.

Products used in Conventional Medicine: Drugs made from chemicals, animal waste and toxic elements. Many side effects which starts the drug cycle of more and more medication to alleviate the symptoms.

Modalities used in Conventional Medicine: Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, steroids, dialysis, colostomies, insulin, etc.

Emotions some people have that use Conventional Medicine: Negative attitude, coping, fear, anxiety, depression. The complete feeling that your life is in someone else's hands.

Many people that use Conventional Medicine: Feel that they are an unlucky victim that caught a disease. Feel helpless and want others to "fix" them. Total lack of control and responsibility for the predicament they find themselves in.

Main Focus of Natural Healing: To create a healthy person.

What we do with Symptoms in Natural Healing: Let our body guide us in the healing process by listening to the symptoms.

Natural Healing Method: Create a proper living environment so that the body can heal itself. This is accomplished through changes in diet, cleansing and nourishing with herbs, positive thinking and lifestyle changes.

Products used in Natural Healing: Wholesome foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, vegetable juices, herbs and essential oils. No side effects.

Modalities used in Natural Healing: Wholesome food program, cleansing and detoxification, exercise, hydrotherapy, emotional therapy and lifestyle changes.

Emotions people have that use Natural Healing: Positive attitude toward healing through following wholesome food programs, cleansing and nourishing. Control of your healing.

People that use Natural Healing: Recognize the fact that past habits created the level of health, and take responsibility of making the changes necessary to heal themselves. Being in control.

    As you can see there is a big difference in how these medicines work. I  choose natural medicine and have always had great results with them. I don't want to have my body parts cut out or replaced, I want to keep what I have in good working condition!  It is my hope that this blog will help people realize their health is in their hands, and that our bodies can heal if we feed it what it needs.

    At Herbs First we sell Dr. Christopher's, Western Botanicals and Garden Essence Oils and they are the best I have ever used. Pure and simple, they work. I hope that these products and this newsletter will help you on your road to continued good health. We don't just sell products, we know how to use them and we use them ourselves!
