The 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 bad food, radiation, chemotherapy and drugs trying to get well.

Please invest in yourself and your family by learning about how food helps you to be healthy. 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. When I began the journey to clean up our diet I told myself that I was finding new favorites. Over the years we have built up quite a collection of healthy recipes and we can honestly say we do not feel deprived. There are so many websites that promote whole food diets. Just do a search and start trying recipes and finding your new favorites.

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. Its okay to eat meat, just keep it clean and in smaller portions.

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 liquid and capsules.  Here is more information about the extended herbal cleanse.

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 which is run by the School of Natural Healing 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.

Why you should use cleansing herbs

     It is interesting to see during this pandemic what people are buying at Herbs First. We are selling a lot of cleansing kits & cleansing herbs. The body has the ability to heal itself. Supporting our eliminating organs and pathways is at the heart of Dr. Christopher’s teachings. In his book, Herbal Home Health Care, Dr. Christopher says, “Well of ninety percent of all disease comes from an unclean body whose sewer is backed up. A backed up sewer means toxins have accumulated in our body.”

     I recently read a memoir of my nephew who died of cancer 20 years ago at age 19. It was very common for him to hold in his bowel movement for days and days. When he was getting colon hydrotherapy sessions, the therapist talked to him about the fact that holding in the feces is poisoning the body and she wondered if this is why he got cancer. You need to evacuate the bowels when you have the urge, or it will shut down. It is a common problem for a lot of people today.

     Bowels: The bowels absorb nutrients and water we ingest and eliminate the waste that accumulates in our body. Dr. Christopher created the Lower Bowel formula that contains herbs that are laxative, gas relieving, nourishing to correct the movement, and healing. Dr Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula is available in capsules, extract and bulk powder as Fen LB

      “When dealing with longstanding health problems, an extended herbal cleanse is an excellent pathway to follow.” This cleanse focuses on herbs that feed and support our eliminating pathway; the bowels, liver and gallbladder, kidneys, and bloodstream. Dr. Christopher's Herbal Cleansing Kits are available in capsules and extracts.

     Liver: Our liver makes bile to digest fats, stores glucose, modifies fats, stores vitamins and iron, forms blood plasma proteins, breaks down old red blood cells, recycles or eliminates them, and detoxifies substances. Dr. Christopher formulated the Liver-Gallbladder formula to support the liver. It is available in capsules, extract and bulk cut and powder as Barberry LG

     Kidneys: The kidneys aid in excretion of metabolic waste, excess salts, and toxins. They balance the water in the body, balance the pH of our bodily fluids, regulate blood pressure, and regulate red blood cell production. Dr. Christopher’s Kidney formula supports the kidneys and is available in capsules, extract and bulk powder as Junipars.

     Bloodstream: Dr. Christopher said, “Our blood stream is life itself and it is our job to keep it clean and pure so that we can have a good circulatory system for delivering food to the body properly and to carry off the waste materials.” Dr. Christopher’s Blood Stream formula is a wonderful formula to help keep the blood stream clean and functioning properly. Available in capsules, extract, syrup and bulk powder and cut as Red Clover Combination.

Dr. Christopher’s Original Formulas are always 25% off

Cleanse and Nourish So Your Body Can Heal

Cleanse - The body is like a river which should flow. Dr. Christopher believed that all forms of disease came from some type of blockage in the body. He taught that healing began with cleansing the body first.

Nourish - Once the body is cleansed it will be able to absorb the nutrients found in whole foods and herbs. Dr. Christopher's nourishing products help provide the necessary nutrients which are missing in the average American diet.

Heal - Dr. Christopher taught that the body will heal itself once it is cleansed and nourished properly. His unique herbal formulas stand alone in the world of herbal treatments and remedies, trusted by millions, because they work.

Dr. Christopher’s Herbal Cleansing Kit contains preparations to cleanse various systems of the body for six weeks.

4 - Lower Bowel Formula
4 - Liver & Gall Bladder Formula
2 - Kidney Formula
2 - Blood Stream Formula

Dr. Christopher's Six Week Extended Herbal Cleansing Program, referred to as the 6-week Cleanse or Extended Herbal Cleanse.

When we are dealing with long standing health problems we cannot expect to totally cleanse the body with one or so three-day cleansing routines. Therefore, to rid the body of chronic conditions or to prevent their occurrence, an extended herbal cleanse is an excellent path to follow.

Herbal Product Directions:

1 - Take the following herbal formulas as directed until the capsules are gone.

Dr. Christopher's Lower Bowel (4 bottles)
2 capsules upon rising in the morning
2 capsules one hour before lunch
2 capsules before retiring to bed

Dr. Christopher's Liver & Gall Bladder (4 bottles)
2 capsules 20 minutes before each meal

Dr. Christopher's Kidney (2 bottles)
2 capsules mid-morning
2 capsules mid afternoon

The herbal cleansing routine is to be followed 6 days, resting on the 7 day.

After 1 week of using the above formulas, start the Blood Stream Formula and continue taking the other formulas until they are gone. The one week delay in adding the Blood Stream Formula is absolutely essential because of the extreme effectiveness of this formula. In the 1st week we are opening the eliminative channels of the body, allowing a pathway of elimination for the ensuing toxins loosened by the Blood Stream Formula.

Dr. Christopher's Blood Stream Formula (2 bottles)
2 capsules 1 hour after each meal

This routine of taking herbs for 6 days & resting the 7th day would continue for six weeks at which time you should rest the body for one full week and then begin taking capsules again.

2 - Tailor this program to your individual needs.

3 - Drink 8-16 glasses of distilled water a day between meals.

4 - Avoid mucus promoting foods such as dairy products & red meat as much as possible.

5 - Increase your intake of fresh vegetables, grains, seeds & nuts.

If you have any questions or concerns about beginning such an intensive program we recommend that you consult your health care professional.

Dr. Christopher’s Cleansing Kit is available in capsules and extract.

Time to Cleanse and Detox your body!

    Last week I was able to watch most of the episodes online of The Truth About Cancer. I always find it interesting that Dr. Christopher was teaching these principles many years ago. People still need to learn this, so it is great that other great doctors are teaching people how to be healthy.

    The most important fact is from Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This might seem pretty obvious, but the majority of the people don’t understand that their food is what is causing their illness. Dr. Christopher taught people to eat a “Mucusless Diet” in order to heal from health problems and stay healthy. 

    Second on the list is detoxing or cleansing, and Dr. Christopher taught: Cleanse and Nourish so your body can Heal. Our bodies are in need of cleansing, the toxins that are causing us problems as my husband found out with his kidneys a few months ago. Cleansing cleared up the problem in a month!

    You can read two of Dr. Christopher’s original newsletters online:

    Does Your Colon Feed or Poison You? This newsletter will help you understand why you start cleansing with the colon. Constipation is a first indicator of problems.

    The Blood Stream: "River of Life".  The Blood Stream Formula is a well known cancer fighting formula, and in this newsletter you will learn why it is important to clean your blood stream.  

    You can learn about the extended Herbal Cleanse on the order page for the Cleanse Kit, available in capsules or extract.

Eliminating Arthritis - Yes it can be done, I did it!

In the world of regular medicine the belief is that they can help you with the symptoms of arthritis (or any other disease), but there is no cure. I didn't want to believe that, and I am proof of the fact that Arthritis can be overcome.

Fourteen years ago I had a surgery where I lost 40% of my blood. I woke up hurting all over, the pain from the surgery wasn't anything in comparison to the head to toe pain I was in. A few weeks after I got out of the hospital I went to my doctor and told him of the pain I was in. I thought that I had picked up some strange virus - he tested my blood and found that I had full-blown Rheumatoid Arthritis. Over the years previous to this I had little bouts of arthritis for a day or two usually in my shoulder or knee, but this time was different. I wasn't using the Christopher formulas back then like I do now, so for the first year I was going from one product to another trying to get relief. I honestly thought that I would end up in a wheelchair because I wasn't getting any better. I had gout so bad in my feet that I couldn't wear shoes, so I wore sandals or slippers. My hands were so swollen that I couldn't open or close my hands and my strength was nonexistent, I was dropping things all the time. My feet, ankles, knees, elbows, hands and back hurt all the time and I would get flare-ups in my jaw that would make eating very difficult because my teeth couldn't meet to chew.
After that terrible first year I went into my local health food store which specialized in the Christopher products and started on the road to healing. I began with the Jurassic Green which I thought was a funny product to be taking for this problem, but after the first week on this grass juice I was 50% better. The inflammation came way down in my hands and feet, the relief was incredible. I could always tell if I forgot to take it because my hands would swell up and remind me. Jurassic Green is one that I still take today even though the arthritis is gone. I have found that it helps keep Kidney Stones from forming and hay fever gets less and less severe every year that I stay on it.

The other two products that I started on were Complete Tissue and Bone Formula (capsules and ointment) and the Joint Formula.  I thought that possibly one of them could do the job alone, so I would try Complete Tissue Formula alone and would still be in pain, then I would try just the Joint Formula alone and I was still in pain. I found that when I took both of them together they took care of the pain as well as the healing. For the first few years I took 3 to 4 capsules four times a day of both formulas and then over time was able to cut back until I didn't need them anymore.  I would add Dandelion capsules or extract when the gout was really bad in my feet, it helped break up the uric acid crystals that made it feel as if I was walking on broken glass inside my feet. 

I also had to look at my diet and eliminated for the most part beef and sugar which seemed to be the two culprits that caused the most severe flare-ups. The herbal program was not an overnight program, or even a one month or a one year program. It took me a full three years to overcome arthritis 100%. I would talk to people during the this time about what I was doing and they would say you have been doing this for how long and aren't all better yet?? They didn't wait for the rest of the story and I'm sure that those people are still dealing with the same pain that they were in back then. After taking classes at The School of Natural Healing I learned that cleansing would have helped me to heal much faster, as described in Dr. Christopher's notes that follow below. My hope is that people will learn that they can overcome Arthritis or any other disease, and that the Christopher products make that healing possible.
 

Dr. Christopher answers the question about arthritis below, used by permission, The School of Natural Healing, Springville, Utah.

Eliminating Arthritis

Question: Can something be done besides just working on the effect of arthritis? Can't something be done to eliminate arthritis instead of just bringing temporary relief of pain?

Answer: Yes. Many people have had permanent relief from arthritis, not just temporary.
When we speak of arthritis we speak of a general term. Actually there are over forty different forms of this disease. They all stem back to a toxic condition of the body. The treatment of this condition must be from the point of reversing the cause by rebuilding the entire body to a higher nontoxic condition, as mentioned in the article on rebuilding and cleaning the bowel. It is inevitable that when an arthritic is badly constipated, the stiffness and pain are worse. The procedure is: (1) clean the bowel with Lower Bowel Formula, and (2) detoxify the body by clearing the blood stream of poor blood with the Blood Stream Formula, and have a good powerful flow of healthy blood coursing through the body to deliver food to the area and carry off toxic waste. Use our arthritis formula [Joint Formula].
Cayenne should be used six days a week, each week of program. This herb is, as are the others, a food and not a drug. Work up to a teaspoon of Cayenne three times a day.
Apple cider vinegar and black strap molasses are also beneficial. Use a tablespoon of each in a glass of distilled water three times each day. Take a tablespoon or more of wheat germ oil three times a day. (Available in capsules as well.)
Remember to drink no less than one gallon of pure steam-distilled water for a person 130 lbs. or over, every day (less or more, one ounce of distilled water to each pound the person weighs).
For severe and painful joints or areas, the use of Complete Tissue & Bone Formula is useful.... The reaction on arthritis is this: the Oak Bark is an astringent and tones up the area, and it is also high in Potassium Chloride to keep the fibrin in motion and not allow further deposit accumulations. The Mullein and Lobelia work on the glands and lymph system to keep the area clear and ready to carry off unwanted debris; Wormwood relieves pain; the Scullcap keeps the spinal cord alert and working smoothly to assist in body motion; Comfrey Root is a cell proliferant, causing the good cells to grow rapidly and push off the dead cells and unwanted accumulations (note that in the syrup and capsules Comfrey has been replaced with other herbs due to the FDA - if you would like to use the product with comfrey then order the bulk BF&C); Walnut Bark is high in iodide and is one of the few plants specific in clearing fungus and is extremely high in Potassium Chloride for the blood and lymph, Potassium Sulfate for skin and mucous membrane, and Potassium Phosphate for the brain and nerve food. The Gravel Root is a solvent to leach off the inorganic calcification (from tap water and processed foods, etc.) and make place for the organic calcium derived from the Comfrey, Oak Bark, and some of the other herbs used in this combination.
We use this formula Complete Tissue and Bone Formula massage oil or (BFC cut) as a fomentation over the painful areas, and if the case is severe, follow the fomentation procedure mentioned in Curing the Incurables. Some of this tea, a cup or more daily, is taken internally with good results.
To make the fomentation stronger simmer the strained tea down to 1/2 its original amount (called 3 power) or simmer down to 1/4 its original amount (called 7 power). If you wish to drink some of the concentrated tea, dilute it with distilled water. Drink a cup or more of this tea each day.
There are many other aids to help, but space does not allow more to be given to this subject. Never use dry heat for arthritis, always use moist heat such as a hot water bottle wrapped with a damp towel, fomentations, etc. Dry heat solidifies the inorganic minerals into place, while moist heat aids in dispersing them.
