Sometimes I go to the doctor

I had a little kitchen mishap the other night while preparing dinner.  I had the disposal running while holding a knife.  The knife slipped and fell into the disposal and spun around and cut my hand.  I am the type of person that avoids going to the doctor unless it is absolutely necessary, but being a person that prefers self-doctoring it is also best to be wise about the situation.  The cut was in a tricky place, between my finger and thumb so I decided it best to go and get stitches. 

    We got to the Instacare where a doctor took a quick peek to make sure they could handle it and then I went to wait my turn in the waiting room. There were mostly parents with children. One child had an ear infection.  I mentioned to the mom that we were able to handle ear infections at home with Herbal Ear Drops. Garlic bulb, Mullein leaf & flower, Lobelia are a great infection killing/pain and healing formula for the ear. One small bottle will treat many infections and save a family from those late night trips to the Instacare as well as lots of money. We never had to go to the doctor once we learned about this great formula.

    There were three little kids coughing that real ugly cough that a parent hates to hear. My kids ate plenty of Anti-Plague in their growing up years as did I, the syrup that tastes so bad but is oh so good at healing.  Western Botanicals now makes it in capsules so no more yucky taste. My family goes through lots of capsules and I still make the syrup to have on hand.  Learn how to make it at this link and purchase the Anti-Plague kit here.

    I finally got my turn and talked a bit with the doctor as he stitched me up.  I learned that cuts need to be stitched within 12 hours.  If a person goes longer than that they will not stitch it due ito the chances of infection.  I was happy I got right in, because I knew this spot would just burst open over and over again since it is in such a high movement place.  I got 7 stitches and it cost a pretty penny since we are not insured. I'm changing the bandage twice or more a day and putting the Complete Tissue & Bone Ointment on it to aid in the healing. I did the right thing and I should be good to prepare a nice Thanksgiving Dinner for my family!

    This week’s reading assignment is the Introduction to An Herbal Legacy of Courage, by David Christopher. This is a biography of Dr. Christopher, and you will be reading it online at the above link. Many doctors thought Dr. Christopher would die before he was thirty-five.  He died at 73 due to a bad fall on the ice, and lived to help thousands of people learn to take care of themselves. He put together over 50 amazing herbal formulas and healing programs, as well as starting his own school the School of Natural Healing that teaches people just like you how to take care of themselves.  Follow this link to listen to a video clip and learn about enrolling in the school.
   
We as adults need to continue our education and any time spent learning about natural healing is time well spent!  Learning about the Dr. Christopher way of healing will benefit yourself and your family for the rest of your life and save you thousands of dollars. I love having the knowledge of how to take care of by body in a natural way.  When you know what to do for any given health problem, you can treat it much quicker and effectively and often have it solved before it can develop into a worse illness.

    Before gaining my skills in natural medicine,  as a young parent I would take my children to the doctor when they were sick and quite often nothing could be done to help them. My son Kyle had ear infection after ear infection and was on multiple courses of antibiotics that never helped. I finally figured out that going to the doctor was a waste of time and money. When we started using Herbal Ear Drops Kyle no longer suffered from ear infections.  I realized that doctors are just “practicing” medicine, so I decided to “practice” herbal medicine on my family and it has been a great success!

Staying Healthy from Infancy to the over 100 Year Old

My daughter recently got sick and posted on Facebook, “I’m not happy with whoever got me sick”. My kids were raised using these wonderful herbs but now that they are in their twenties and on their own they have become a bit stubborn about taking them. Hopefully they will make the connection that the food they eat affects their immune system.

Here at Herbs First we have a huge variety of formulas to treat anyone from the infant on up to the very oldest person for many ailments. When kids get sick we as parents want to run off to the doctor to get them well. The problem is, most often there isn’t anything the doctor can do, yet they will write a prescription for an antibiotic because the parents are expecting something for their money. For much less than the cost of a co-pay to visit the doctor and the cost of medication we can have on hand herbal formulas that will take care of the problem before it develops into a severe illness.

A few years ago we had an infant in our home for a few days and when he was two days old I realized that he was coming down with something. My first feelings were of panic, thinking, oh no, what do I do? I always keep stocked up at home, so I looked to see what would be appropriate for an infant. I had Kid-e-Mune which is Echinacea and just the thing to give someone to boost their own immune system. I gave him five drops three or four times that day and the illness was stopped and the baby stayed healthy. It is much easier to stop a cold than to get rid of it if you let it develop to that point.

Ear infections are quite a common occurrence for many children and in the news lately they are reporting that most ear infections go away within a few days and that doctors often aren’t prescribing anything for them. If you are a parent of a child with an ear infection you know you want to be able to do something for them. Herbal Ear Drops are the miracle cure for ear infections and for a mere $9.00 you can have a one ounce bottle in your home that will treat many ear infections and it will save many nights lost sleep to have Herbal Ear Drops in your refrigerator.

A favorite of mine is the Glandular Massage Oil with the X-Plague Essential Oil blend mixed in, about 30 drops of X-Plague per ounce of Glandular Massage Oil. We use it any time we are exposed to sick people or if we feel a sore throat coming on. This is a great little blend and so easy to use. It smells so good and is an excellent formula to rub on kids necks as they head off to school. X-Plague is highly anti-viral. The antiseptic properties of the single oils contained in X-Plague help protect the body from the onset of flu, E-coli, candida, colds and sore throats.

I like to keep the Immune System Formula, Infection Formula, Anti-Plague capsules and Super Garlic Immune Formula on hand and will take Immune System with either Anti-Plague or Infection formula at the first sign of illness. If I didn’t respond quick enough and illness is coming on fast and strong, I will hit it hard by taking the the formulas every half hour for a day or two until I am well. It isn’t very often that I will get to that point, and if I do the symptoms are much milder and go away much quicker than doing nothing. Super Garlic Immune is used if things are going downhill and I hit that hard taking a tablespoon every half hour until I am well.

For about $100.00 you can have one of each item mentioned in this newsletter. The Glandular Massage Oil/X-Plague likely will last the whole season. The Herbal Ear Drops if kept in the refrigerator will last two years, a 1 ounce bottle is the right size for most families and will take care many ear infection episodes. A bottle of Kid-e-Mune could last the season for one child if used right at the first sign of illness if it doesn’t progress. I like to have about three bottles of the Immune System Formula, Anti-Plague Capsules and Infection Formula capsules on hand and replace them as I need them. The Super Garlic Immune Formula is kept on hand for the worst illness and each person in the family would need at least one 16 oz. bottle to get over a hefty illness. It is affordable and easy to be prepared for the winter season and avoid the high cost of health care when you know how to take care of yourself and your family.

Herbal Ear Drops

I wish that people could take their kids to the doctor with an ear infection and he would say, we have this wonderful oil for ear infections for less than $10.00. It would certainly make the news and people would have this little bottle of oil in their homes and likely never have to take their kids to the doctor for an ear infection again. And not only that, this bottle will last about two years and take care of many ear infections in the family. Wouldn’t that be great??? You could save a lot of money, and a lot of misery with one bottle of Herbal Ear Drops.

We did the doctor route when our kids were young. We had the problem of the ear infections not getting cleared up and multiple doctors visits along with multiple prescriptions for that one infection, only to go through it all again a few months later. Not fun, and after a few years of this nonsense we finally got smart and looked into the herbal answer for ear infections and haven’t had to go to a doctor for them since. In fact, ear infections is one of the problems that got me into searching further into herbals, and got our family on track with taking care of our own health problems. What a blessing that has been, it has saved us time, money and our health!

We do have that wonderful little bottle of oil for ear infections here at Herbs First, it is called Herbal Ear Drops. It is a fabulous mixture of Garlic bulb, Mullein leaf & flower, Lobelia herb & seed, in a pure Olive Oil base. I’m sure most parents will agree that the child wakes up about the time the parents are going to bed and know that this is going to be “one of those nights”. That doesn’t have to happen anymore, because you can be ready! I keep a bottle of Herbal Ear Drops in the fridge and when I need it I pop the bottle into a cup of hot water to take the chill off. Then put 4 - 6 drops into the ear, wiggle the ear around to make sure it goes into the ear canal, put in a cotton ball and rub a drop of oil from the back of the ear and down the throat area where the eustachian tube drains. Within a few minutes the pain is gone and the child goes back to sleep and in the morning the child is fine, but I will follow through the next night to make sure it is gone.

I have talked to several parents in the past week and their children showed no signs of ear infection until the ear drum burst. This is a hard ordeal to go through. An ear scope can be bought for under $20.00 at a medical supply store and comes with a guide to help you to identify ear infections. Well worth it to add one of those to your first aid kit. Don’t put the Herbal Ear Drops into the ear if the ear drum has burst, just rub on the outside of the ear opening and from the back of the ear and down the throat as above. With the high cost of health care and prescriptions, Herbal Ear Drops will pay for itself many times over. Herbal Ear Drops come in 1 oz, 2 oz. & 4 oz, sizes, but I recommend getting the 1 oz. size and replacing it every 2 years. 1 oz. goes a long ways.
