Free Samples with your order!

    Everyone loves samples, and if you have ordered in the last month or so you received some samples of Dr. Christopher’s most popular formulas. We have had some great feed back from customers who have tried them and liked them. We hope you will too!

    Complete Tissue and Bone Formula capsules are always in supply at our house. You never know when you might need their healing goodness. This formula contains a synergistic combination of herbs for bones, flesh and cartilage. Bones play a major role in our body. They provide structure, protect organs and anchor muscles. Dr. Christopher's time-tested Complete Tissue & Bone Formula supports bones, skin, tissue, hair, nails, teeth & gums.

    Lower Bowel Formula was designed to encourage the elimination of waste and assist the motor activity of the intestines in a natural way. In most cases, improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles to become sluggish, and in some cases, to quit working. It will take six to nine months with the aid of the Lower Bowel Formula for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently to have the peristaltic muscles working.

    Mindtrac contains a synergistic blend of whole herbs for optimum mental and emotional balance. Feeling sad, down, blue, not thinking straight and miserable are ways we may feel from time to time. Taking a natural approach for a chemical imbalance and to rid negative thoughts is essential, as whole herbs will not have the long-term side effects that many chemicals do. MindTrac formula supports brain function, properly assisting the body with delivering nutrients to the brain, aids in calming the nervous system and supports the body’s natural response to stress.

    Vitalerbs are a nature balanced whole food vitamin and mineral supplement for the body. Vitamins and minerals play a key role in boosting the immune system, growth and development, mental aptitude, physical fitness and in supporting the body’s systems.3 The market is flooded with standardized supplements, which extract leading active ingredients but Dr. Christopher's Vitalerbs is the ultimate whole-food formula, perfectly balanced the way Mother Nature intended.

Please email me or call me if you have any questions about these formulas or any other products.

Herbs are not addicting, only healing

    The most recent radio show on A Healthier You,  David and Fawn Christopher talk about the recent reports of more and more pain killer deaths in the United States. Deaths for women for prescription drug overdose is up 400% from twelve years ago and up 265% for men. Simple fact is if you don’t take drugs you won’t die from an overdose!

    Some of the reasons I got into natural health care was first to have control of my health which I enjoy doing very much. Another was to avoid the problems that occur with conventional medications, dependancy being one of them. I have turned down pain prescriptions after dental work and surgeries, though they would always insist I take it with me just in case. I have never filled a pain prescription and have always done just fine using the herbs to treat the pain as well as aid in the healing process.

    The top of the list that David talked about is Dr. Christopher's Complete Tissue and Bone Formula which I always take for any type of surgery or injury.  It works for pain and for healing.  When you start hurting you know you need to take more. Over time your body gets well and you don’t need it anymore.  No fear of addiction when you use herbs.

    The next formula David talked about in the radio show is Dr. Christopher's Nerve Formula.  This is great for nerve pain and repair.  Many people have nerve pain and as someone that has had nerve damage due to dental work I can attest to the fact that nerve pain really hurts. I used Dr. Christopher's Relax-Eze which is another nerve formula.  It took about six months to repair the damage, but once it was repaired, I had no more pain.  And again, no addiction, only healing.

    Another reason for pain is inflammation. Many people aren’t realizing that inflammation is caused by poor diet. We have a great formula to help inflammation, but the best thing do to is to work on diet.  Here are a couple of links to help you with diet changes: Traci's Transformational Kitchen and Original Fast Foods. 

    In the meantime, Western Botanicals Anti-Inflammation formula will help you while you work on diet changes.  Anti-Inflammation Formula is effective in dramatically reducing pain and inflammation, and the herbs used are some of the safest available and can be used on a long-term basis. So if you don’t work on diet, you can buy this formula forever!  We don’t mind!

    The list goes on and on and there are herbs to treat any illness or disease.  Education is the key to your “vehicle”. Traditional medicine is not about health, it is just damage control. The School of Natural Healing has their  Family Herbalist course for only $195.00, get started today! It is well worth it to learn how to take care of yourself. 

    Have a great month!

To stitch or not to stitch....that is the question.

We have some great little stocking stuffers when it comes to Essential Oils and Western Botanicals Formulas. Many people have come to realize that the Garden Essence Essential Oils are of the same quality as the network marketed brands they have been using for about 1/3 of the price and save even more with the extra sale.  I love Western Botanicals Essential Skin Care which is a great hand and body lotion.  I would love to have just about any of Western Botanicals Formulas in my stocking!  Best pricing is now, they are bound to go up the first of the year.
    I have to say that I am less than satisfied at how my hand healed with the stitches. I really wonder at this point if the result would have been much different if I had handled it myself.  I noticed the same problem years ago when my sons arm got cut when friend skied into him. After the stitches were out the cut popped back open. Stitches have to come out after a week, otherwise the skin grows through the stitches and getting them out would be a problem.  This cut was in such a tricky spot I felt I was better off getting them.  Once the stitches were out, the cut popped open.  Oh well, live and learn!

    This past week I was using the Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment on the cut as well as taking the capsules.  After a few days I was wondering why it still was hurting so much.  Then I realized that the capsules were tasting a bit like Immucalm.  These are two of the formulas that I often capsulize myself and rebottle in their original bottles.  I looked at the capsules and found that indeed they were Immucalm incorrectly put in a Complete Tissue and Bone bottle by me!  I got out another bottle of Complete Tissue & Bone capsules and looked at them closely and noted that they were the right ones.  Not long after taking them the pain was much less and I was happy that they were doing their job. The healing would have been better had I been taking the right formula for the first three days. 

    We have many of Dr. Christopher’s formulas available in bulk. It is a good way to save money, if you know how you want to use them.  I like to get the cut formulas to make a syrup or ointment depending on the formula.  The bulk formulas are sold by their original name, so look for the current name next to the old name.  We sell empty capsules and a capsule machine to aid in capsulizing powders. 

    Our November sale ends Friday at 11:00 am mountain time.  33% off Garden Essence Essential Oils and 25% off Western Botanical Formulas and 5% off bulk single herbs.  Buy some today!

Drafted into the Army, WWII

    In chapter two in the Herbal Legacy of Courage book we follow John as he is drafted into the Army. As a conscientious objector he was sent to Fort Lewis, where he was assigned to supervise a medical dispensary. It was frustrating for him to go from teaching people how to take care of themselves naturally to serving where he was denied the use of the herbal healing methods. 

    One morning while discussing the various cases they were faced with, John was finally given the opportunity to use natural healing methods with a man with a bad case of impetigo.  The man was going to be released from the army because nothing had worked to clear up the problem.  He refused to be released saying “I got this here, I’m not going to take this home to my family”.  John was given a week and no one believed that he could cure the man. He had Black Walnuts flown in overnight from Utah and made an extract with rubbing alcohol. He made a compress over the mans head with instructions to keep it wet with the tincture 24/7.  A week later everyone returned to see the results and as John lifted the compress off, the scab came off with it, and the soldier's scalp was clean and pure. The impetigo was gone, and had left no scarring.

    After that amazing result John was allowed to use his herbal medicine. His black walnut extract gained a widespread reputation, and he continued to use it to treat impetigo as well as fungus infection and jungle rot. John eventually found that the black walnut hulls exacted an almost miraculous cure against a variety of other stubborn conditions, including scrofula, eczema, ringworm, shingles, and chronic boils. With an endless supply of patients and the blessings of his superiors, he was able to discover firsthand the healing properties of many of the herbs he had until then only read about.

    John formulated his Complete Tissue & Bone Formula and Ointment which has been a miracle formula for many people over the years to re-grow fingers, heal horrific burns, dermatitis, and more. He was able to spend quiet hours in the laboratory experimenting, and it was there where he began to discover the herbal combinations that could relieve his own serious health problems.

    At the end of John’s military obligation, despite an invitation to spend another tour of duty in the dispensary and to let the Army pay for his medical education, he declined and headed home to his wife and family.  Please read chapter 2, it really is an amazing story that we can all learn from.

Being aware of symptoms

    My body talks to me and I try to listen. Last week a joint on my foot above my big toe told me it wasn’t happy. Lucky for me it was only in one joint, but it was painful enough that I was limping around all day. I started taking the Complete Tissue and Bone formula along with the Joint Formula throughout the day. By 7:00 pm I was worried that I hadn’t made any progress and with the 4th of July coming up I really did not want to wake up the next morning with my foot still hurting. If I’m not on top of these arthritis flare-ups they can last from a few days to sometimes a few weeks with more joints joining in on the fun. Since the pain was in my foot I decided to try some Dandelion extract, which is what I used years ago when I suffered with gout. I took a squirt right away and another squirt before I went to bed along with more Complete Tissue and Bone and Joint Formula. When I got up the next morning I went about my work all day and it wasn’t until I was going to bed that night that I realized my foot wasn’t hurting.  I was very happy with the next day being the 4th of July knowing that I could participate in the planned activities pain-free.

    I try to be aware of any changes in my body so that if a symptom crops up I can address the problem before it develops into a more serious situation.  It takes not only being aware of a change, but also having the herbs on hand that I may need. Most herbs treat many different symptoms, so it is helpful to have a variety of formulas as well as some well chosen single herbs on hand to choose from. 

    Dandelion was truly a lifesaver for me when I was working on clearing up the Rheumatoid Arthritis years ago.  I had gout so badly in my feet that I couldn’t wear shoes because it hurt too much to have anything touching my feet.  The Dandelion did an amazing job of breaking up the uric acid crystals that feel like you are walking on shards of broken glass in your feet.  This is one herb that I will always have in my herb cabinet.  Click to read my arthritis story

    Here is a short list of ailments that Dandelion can help with: Acne, Anemia, Arthritis, Asthma, Blood Purifier, Blood Cleanser, Breast Cancer and tumors, Eczema, Gall Bladder cleanser, Gout, Hepatitis, Hypoglycemia, Jaundice, Kidney Infections, Liver Disorders, Metabolism stimulator,  Rheumatism, Scurvy, Skin Problems, Water Retention, Weight loss and more.  This little weed is truly an amazing healing herb!  Try using the "milk" from the stem of a dandelion on your wart.  Apply for about a week and then watch it slowly fade away.  Talk about affordable medicine!

    I love using herbs to keep myself and my family healthy. The School of Natural Healing has a great deal on their online Family Herbalist course. If you are ready to take more responsibility for your health, this would be the place to start with that education.

I didn't know a sneeze could cause so much pain

Last Friday morning I had the windows open to take advantage of the nice little breeze.  A big wind came up and my husband ran around shutting all the windows, while I had a sneezing attack.  After sneezing about ten times I realized that I had thrown my back out in my “funny spot”.  This spot is in the lung area on my left side and it really isn’t funny when it goes out.  Every time I coughed or sneezed the pain was an intense stabbing pain.  Luckily I was able to get in to my Chiropractor,  he is the only Chiropractor that can ever get this spot back in for me.  I guess he is stuck with me, good thing he is younger than I am!!  After he got me all adjusted he asked if it felt better. I said no, but it never does feel better until I get some herbs in me to calm the muscles down.

    I started taking the Complete Tissue and Bone Formula along with the Pain Relief Formula and Anti-Inflammation Formula.  By bedtime I was still hurting so took some Kava Kava* which will usually do the trick of relaxing the muscles.  I woke up in the morning feeling worse than the day before and felt bad all day long, especially when I sneezed or coughed. I  took it easy all day and continued with the herbs hoping that by the next morning I would feel better.  That night before bed I asked my husband to put the Deep Heat Ointment on my back.  When I woke up in the morning I was still hurting but not as bad.  I had my husband put Deep Heat Ointment on me again and by early afternoon I was feeling much better.  He put it on me again before bed just to make sure. 

    I had been thinking that I would have to go to the Chiropractor again on Monday, but when I got up this morning I felt great!  It is amazing the difference the Deep Heat Ointment made.  I sure wish I had used it Friday, but at least the herbs work when you finally use the right one!

    I know people that have gone to the ER with problems like this.  They usually end up getting some muscle relaxant drugs, but to just walk into the ER is about $350.00.  My Chiropractic visit was $38.00 plus a few dollars in herbs.  I’m glad I know how to take care of myself, it sure saves us a lot of money!  Deep Heat is a Western Botanicals formula that I talked about a few months ago. You can read that blog here.  The $13.00 I spent on this bottle of Deep Heat Ointment has been so worth it! I love to use it on my shoulders and neck, it is so relaxing.  This is the best thing to relieve tired and sore muscles!

*Kava Kava is a great muscle relaxant herb.  Kava Kava is available in capsules, bulk and extract.

Western Botanicals Deep Heat Ointment, Sweet Relief in a Bottle

    I’ve had a crazy few years trying to get help with a lower back issue.  Last August I went to a several Chiropractors, trying to find one that could help with the problem.  In getting the adjustments my whole back was thrown out and I was in pain for several months due to the correction that was taking place.  I took hot baths to relax the muscles but needed something that would help me the rest of the day because I couldn’t be in the tub all the time.  I got Western Botanicals Deep Heat Ointment and put it on my back, as well as on my shoulders and neck.  It was so nice and relaxing and helped me sleep so well at night!  Deep Heat Ointment quickly became my friend and it will be one I always have in my home. 

    Deep Heat Ointment is a combination of Western Botanicals Deep Heat Oil and their Complete Tissue Repair Ointment all in one bottle.  We sell the generously sized 5 oz. jar for only $13.00.   The herbs, oils and essential oils in this ointment works deep in the tissues to penetrate, warm and soothe sprains, strains, arthritis, bursitis, tendentious, muscle aches, joint pain and more.  I’m sure it will become a mainstay in your home too!
   
    I also used Christopher’s Complete Tissue and Bone Formula capsules, three capsules three times a day to aid in healing.  I’m happy to say that I am doing great now.  The problem we finally found via x-ray was that I had a cocked vertebrae.  There was no way this would have healed on its own and the five years that I searched for help and had different therapies did very little for me.  I’m happy I finally found a chiropractor that x-rayed it and found and fixed the problem.  It sure feels great to feel good again!

When is the best time to stock up on _____ formula???

The answer to “When is the best time to stock up on _______ formula?” Before you need it!!! If you wait until you need one of these lifesaving formulas you are wasting precious healing time. It is worth it to have a variety of formula on hand so you have it when you need it.

One day after getting my kids to school I felt that I was getting hit by a nasty illness of some sort. I didn’t have any Anti-Plague (now Super Garlic Immune Formula) on hand and had to drive over to the Herb Shop to pick up a bottle. I got home and fell into bed, I felt so horrible. I put the bottle by the bed and took a swig about every fifteen minutes. As the day went on I could feel myself getting better little by little, and by the time I needed to pick my kids up from school I was a new woman. I don’t know what I was getting hit with and I’m glad, I didn’t have to find out. I always have it on hand and luckily have not had to use it for quite a few years. Now is the time to stock up on Super Garlic Immune Formula, it is on sale and goes out of stock periodically through the winter. I make my own, it is quite a project, but if you are on a tighter budget like I am, you can get the kit to make a gallon. We even sell the amber bottles if you need them.

For people that can't handle the strong taste of the syrup, Western Botanicals has Anti-Plague available in capsules. We also have the kit available in powder. The kit makes three pounds of powder, so you may want to split it with a friend and get it all capsulized so it will stay good for many years.

I tripped down a few stairs one day and twisted my ankle. I had the thought to take some Complete Tissue and Bone Formula but walked the pain off and felt fine. The next morning I couldn’t put any weight on my foot and knew I had blown it by not following through. I was able to get my kids to school and then came home and elevated my foot and sat on the couch with a bottle of water and a bottle of Complete Tissue & Bone Formula. I took three capsules every 15 minutes and six hours later when it was time to pick up the kids from school I got up and walked with no pain. Sprains without Complete Tissue and Bone Formula can take six weeks or longer to heal. Healing in six hours is worth going through half a bottle of capsules.

Often people will call to order one item or another and need it with overnight delivery, which is quite expensive. When we have the big sale going on like we do this month, I like to inventory what I already have and get stocked up on what my family needs. With winter on its way, now is a good time to get what you may need so you don’t have to pay high shipping charges to get it to you quickly.

Mind Over Matter

I was talking to a customer who was ordering the HCG ezTrim when he mentioned that he is 52 and his joints are really hurting him. He felt taking the weight off would help his joints to feel better and I agreed. He went on to say that he knew things were going to be downhill from here on out, that he was going to have to live with not feeling as good as he used to, because that is what getting old is all about. I told him I wasn’t buying that idea and that I am only a year younger than he is and that the older I get the more I do to make sure I am at least maintaining my health. Truth be told, I am in better shape than I was fifteen years ago and I am going to continue to get fitter and healthier. If you believe you are going to go downhill, then that is what is going to happen. If you believe that you are getting healthier and doing all you can with diet and exercise to make that happen, then that is what will happen. We talked about the Complete Tissue & Bone Formula and the Joint Formula and he said he would get back to me after he gets the weight off. I hope he does because it is pretty sad to think that within a few months he could be doing great with the herbs.

This week I realized that I had a problem with mind over matter. About eight years ago I put all around my computer that I weigh 145 lbs, thinking that is the lowest I could ever hope for. When I hit 145 back in November I realized that I needed to go lower to look the way I wanted to. In January I did a two week cycle of HCG ezTrim and got down to 136 lbs. We took our little trip and when we got back home I was back up at 145 lbs. I went on the HCG for a week and got it off in February and now here I am a month later back at 145 lbs. In thinking about this problem I know that 145 lbs is stuck in my head because of all of those years of having that as my goal. When I keep thinking about what I weigh, 145 is what keeps coming to mind. I printed off a bunch of 135 lbs in big print and put them all over my computer, and all over the house. I need to reprogram my mind that 135 lbs. is what I weigh.

The mind is an amazing thing and what you think about is what your brain will help you to achieve. To me being healthy and able to function to the best of my ability is what I want. As I reprogram my brain to my new weight I truly believe that my body will allow me to stay at the weight that I feel good at and want to maintain. I thought about just working on my mind and letting the weight come off as it will, but knowing that I can be where I want to be in a week to ten days with the HCG drops it is too hard to pass up getting it off fast. So here I go again, hopefully for the last time this year.

HCG ezTrim is only $39.95 for a six week supply. Today is a good day to get started on the new you!

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.

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.

I am forever using Complete Tissue and Bone Formula

My husband and I helped my father to clean and organize his house last September to get it ready to sell. I had taken old tennis shoes to wear since we were cleaning, painting, moving things, etc. We worked hard for 9 days on our feet for about 14 hours every day. By the last day my feet were killing me and I was grateful to be going home. I started taking Complete Tissue and Bone Formula as well as using the ointment
on my feet morning and night.

My feet were starting to feel better when we went back the end of October to help with the move. Again we were on our feet for long hours and 8 more days of work where I wore the same old shoes to work in. By the time we left my feet and ankles were so miserable I could hardly stand. For weeks by the early evening all I could do was put my feet up and watch TV. I continued to take Complete Tissue and Bone formula as well as using it on my feet morning and night. By the end of November my feet had made no progress toward healing so I had to get help, but from who? It finally dawned on me that a chiropractor I know does sports medicine and had worked on my feet about five years earlier. I quickly made an appointment and he noticed quite a few problems that had
occurred due to the fact that my arches had fallen. Bunions, hammer toes, etc. were starting to form. He worked on my feet once a week for four weeks and I got an orthotic arch support to aid in keeping my arch in the correct position.

It has been six months since the first trip and my feet are feeling great except I can’t handle walking in bare feet for very long. Most of the damage is repaired and I can’t imagine where I would be today had I not gone to the chiropractor. With injuries, the problem needs to be corrected so that the healing can properly take place. Complete Tissue and Bone Formula is an amazing herbal formula to aid in healing as well as help with pain. This is one of the must have formulas that we use with our family, great for overworked muscles, sprains, broken bones, bruises and more. I healed a badly sprained ankle in six hours by getting elevating my foot, icing it and going through half a bottle of Complete Tissue and Bone Formula, four capsules every half hour. I will always have this formula in my herb cabinet.

Arthritis again???

Now is the best time to stock up on Christopher’s with the 40% off sale because at the first of the year there will be slight price increases on most of the product lines. The sale is good through December 31, 11:00 am Mountain Time.

I have been trying to get a newsletter out for the past few weeks, but my father’s health deteriorated quickly and I was able to go and spend some time with him in the last week. He passed away Dec. 16th, so we will be headed back up to Washington for the funeral.

I had been taking Mindtrac for quite a few months but I felt I was doing ok so I stopped taking it. Then the eye problem set in and I started having arthritis flare-ups and decided to reread the pages on Arthritis in the Nutritional Healing book. What jumped out at me is that often Arthritis is stress related! I would say that I have been under a good amount of stress the past few months.

I immediately started taking the Mindtrac again and adding Joint, Complete Tissue & Bone, Anti-Inflammation and Immucalm. It makes a big difference to be taking the herbs and makes me wonder if I wouldn’t have had these problems at all had I remained on the Mindtrac. It will remain a mystery but my guess is that I wouldn't have. I am still having some joint pain, but I think as we finish up my Dad’s funeral and life gets back to normal my body will come back into balance once again.

I am happy I have these wonderful formulas to help me get through these times. You can read more about my arthritis story on the Cleanse-Nourish-Heal website.

Complete Tissue and Bone Formula to the rescue, again and again!

A few weeks ago when we were in Washington my husband and I spent our days working on my dad's house to get it ready to sell. My brother came up the day before we were to leave and between the three of us we put in 300 hours of work inside and outside of my dad’s house. When my brother left he put a for sale sign on the house and by the next afternoon it was sold. Our hard work paid off!

On our way home I was so happy to be off my feet, you see I spend a lot of time at the computer and after spending 9 days on my feet they were letting me know that they weren’t used to that. The balls of my feet were especially sore and it just didn’t dawn on me at the time that maybe I should take something for it. Last week when it had been 19 days since we had left my Dad’s I woke up one morning and realized this is not going to be a day that I will be able to exercise. The ball of my left foot was swollen and painful and I couldn’t put any weight on it. That’s when I thought, how dumb can you get? I started taking 4 capsules of Complete Tissue and Bone Formula three times a day and by the end of the second day I could tell the herbs were doing their work. Over the weekend my feet continued to improve.

This morning I was running around cleaning my house with bare feet and caught my little toe on a door and I broke it. I now have a new reason to keep taking the Complete Tissue & Bone Formula, but since my toe is broken I'll be upping my dosage to 6 times a day!
