We All Choose Our Hard

     I have really come to embrace the term, Choose Your Hard. We all make a lot of choices every day and many of those choices greatly impact our lives. We are choosing our hard. What is your hard? Are you Overweight? Do you have Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Prostate Issues, Kidney Problems or some other serious health issue? That’s Hard!

    When it comes to health issues many people like to say it is genetic, I can’t help that I have this health issue. Or can you? Really think about it, do you have any control over your health issues? I have a friend that says her doctor is managing her health issues. She is overweight, has diabetes and a whole list of other problems. I have been trying to get her to understand it can be reversed through diet, but it is easier to let the doctors “manage” the diseases for her because then she doesn’t have to do anything! It makes me very sad because as I see it she is choosing a hard life with health issues.

    Dr. Christopher taught people that to be healthy you need to eat what he called the Mucusless Diet. Today this is called eating Whole Foods Plant Based (WFPB) diet. There are so many people eating this way now, with lots of online support making it easier to find recipes and make the change. People are getting healthy! My husband and I are getting healthier than we have ever been! This diet change has been hard, but it is the hard we choose! We would rather make the hard change to eat different than most people, than to keep going down the hard path of disease!

    Dr. Christopher created many amazing herbal formulas to help heal the problems people may have, and he also stated that for complete healing people need to follow this eating program. I’m grateful for his formulas, and know that once my body heals I won’t have to stay on the herbal formulas forever! Drugs are forever and create a cycle of more and more drugs to maintain some sort of life. Not the kind of life I would want to live! 

Here’s a link to all of Dr. Christopher’s formulas, below are the formulas for the most common health issues that people are dealing with today!

Dr. Christopher’s Blood Circulation Formula This group of herbs feeds cayenne and ginger into the circulatory system where the cayenne works from the bloodstream to the heart and arteries and out into the veins. The other herbs in the formula assist these two herbs and work together to equalize the blood pressure (whether high or low) bringing it into a suitable systolic/diastolic balance. Blood flow is life itself. Blood Circulation Formula capsules or extract or bulk as BPE

Dr. Christopher’s Hawthorn Berry Heart Syrup The heart is the most vital muscle in the whole body. It is our life pump, and when it is not properly fed with wholesome foods it suffers malfunction. Heart failure is one of America’s greatest killers. The Hawthorn Berry Heart Syrup is considered by many to be the best heart tonic or food, used historically to help restore optimum health of the heart.  Available in 4 oz and 16 oz. syrup.

Dr. Christopher’s Male Urinary Tract formula For the aid of the malfunctioning prostate gland. This formula has been designed to dissolve the stones that are in the kidneys, as well as clean out other sedimentation and infection in the prostate. This formula works exceptionally well by itself. However, when combined with Prostate Plus Formula, another male urinary tract formula, they work very synergistically together. 

Dr. Christopher’s Prostate Plus formula For the aid of the malfunctioning, weakened prostate gland. This formula has been designed to help strengthen and tone the prostate while cleansing it with nourishing antioxidants. This formula works exceptionally well just by itself. However, when combined with the Male Urinary Tract Formula, another prostate formula, they work very synergistically together.

Dr. Christopher’s Memory Plus A great combination of old-fashioned herbs used to cleanse, build and increase circulation to the brain. Used historically to help promote improved peripheral and cerebral circulation. All the anti-aging effects of better circulation go along with this ability: increased energy, antioxidant effects, better concentration, etc.

Dr. Christopher’s Pancreas formula Helps the pancreas and has assisted many that have had hypoglycemia or diabetes. Many have had a glucose tolerance test with a clean bill of health after using the Pancreas formula. Many reports have come in about heavy insulin users who continue using the insulin have gradually tapered down on the insulin; and many within a year, have found complete relief using two to three or more capsules, three times per day, six days a week.

Herbs for Blood Sugar Issues

      I’ve known that I should be eating WFPB/Whole Foods Plant Based for many years. I’ve always been fairly close, but had foods that I had a hard time giving up. Cheese & yogurt were biggies for me. My husband and I quit eating all dairy products the first of the year. We still hung onto meat because like most people, it is hard to make a change. In March my husband and I had our blood work done and we had a wake-up call. Fortunately for us things weren’t real bad, because we eat a lot of the right foods. But right then and there I knew we had to make the big change.

     It’s quite a chore coming up with new recipes, but fortunately there are so many people now eating WFPB. I’m happy that my husband has been on board, because he wants to be healthy too. We know way too many people that are very unhealthy and some have even died this year. It makes me sad because so many people aren’t willing to change their diet. I’m hoping that people will notice the change in us and ask for help!

     In July just about everything in my blood work was in the normal range except my blood sugar is still too high! My fasting blood sugar was 104 and my A1c was 5.8. I made a lot of progress since March and I’m close to normal and looking forward to seeing how things are the first of the year. In the mean-time along with diet change I am taking the Pancreas Formula.

     Dr. Christopher’s Pancreas Formula. It is a synergistic blend of herbs for the pancreas. Our pancreas is an amazing gland in the abdomen that produces insulin & helps our body break down foods. When our pancreas is healthy it is self-regulating, working day & night for our entire life. A healthy pancreas is able to produce the right chemicals at the right times in the right quantities in order to properly digest the food we eat. Today's average diet lacks many essential nutrients that are needed to support normal immunity, blood sugar levels, digestion & glandular function. Not eating a sensible, healthy diet can damage our pancreas & lead to many health problems. Dr. Christopher's Pancreas formula aids the liver with controlling blood sugar, enhances digestion & encourages glandular health. Available in capsules and extract.

     I am also using Garden Essence Oils Healthy Spice Blend: The oils in this blend help with restoring health and well-being. Can lower blood sugar, triglycerides, LDL, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes.

     I'm grateful that we didn't let things get too far to where we did have diseases. We were on that road, but made a quick switch to get onto the right path quickly!   

Here are links to some websites that you can get lots of information about eating WFPB as well as gather recipes. I’ve made my own book of recipes from what we like to eat from these websites. More will come up if you do a search. There are many facebook groups you can join as well.

Is eating whatever you want working for you?

---

This is a photo of a diabetic man’s foot, both feet look like this. He has lost the feeling in them, so isn’t in pain, but this is due to years of eating the wrong food throughout his life. His motto was "I'm gonna eat what I want, when I want, I only live once". This is what a lot of people say and do. Is it worth it??

 

I had a gal call the other day looking for some help with neuropathy in her feet. I told her what I would do, which is take the Nerve Reinforcement formula internally, along with using the Nerve Damage essential oil mixed into the Complete Tissue and Bone Massage Oil. I would also take the Complete Tissue and Bone Formula internally to aid in the healing.




I then asked her if she knew the reason why she has neuropathy in her feet and she said she is diabetic. I asked if she was using the Pancreas Formula an she said no. We talked about needing to treat the cause of the neuropathy so that she can have a successful healing. We talked about diet, which is what Dr. Christopher always did with his patients. Diet needs to change in order for the healing to happen. With diabetes you can’t mess around with eating sugar and grains that turn to sugar. I suggested looking up Paleo recipes to replace the grain foods. Almond flour and coconut flour make good pancakes, muffins, etc.  She ordered everything that we had talked about, and it is up to her to make the big change which is diet.

Is your health where you want it to be? Are you willing to take responsibility for your health? Dr. Christopher taught that there are no incurable diseases, only incurable people – people that aren’t willing to make the changes necessary in order for the healing to happen. You can find Dr. Christopher’s healing programs here.

I’m here to help, just give me a call!

More formulas to stock in your herb cabinet

Last weeks blog was about some great basic formulas to stock in your herb cabinet. When you have success using herbs then you are ready to learn more and stock additional formulas for your health and wellness. I can’t begin to tell you how great it is to be able to open up my cabinet to pick out what I need at any given time. It is well worth it to have herbs on hand when you need them and this is a great month to stock up on Christopher's formulas while they are 40% off.

Adrenal Formula - it took me awhile to figure out how I feel when I need the Adrenal Formula, it is when you are exhausted like when you have been burning the candle at both ends. I think this describes a lot of people, so if you can identify with this, put this one in the cupboard and use it.

Attention Focus - I love this formula, this is a Western Botanicals formula and when we added their formulas to the website this formula was one of the reasons. Attention Focus is available in syrup which is great for kids, alcohol extract and capsules. I reach for Attention Focus when I am having one of those ADD days and I’m sure everyone has one from time to time, flitting from one project to another and not making any progress on anything. I understand more about my ADD son when I have a day like that. A great formula for people with ADD or occasional ADD.

Blood Circulation Formula - This is for High or low blood pressure. Last year when I was under a lot of stress and the usual formulas weren’t working I realized that I had high blood pressure. This formula has brought it down to where it should be and I feel great.

Female Reproductive & Hormonal Changease - a must have for all women. There are many articles on women’s issues on the Herbal Legacy website and most often one or both of these formulas are what is recommended. You will be happy you have it when you need it. Hormonal Changease is a must have for us gals that are getting older to help us age gracefully and go through menopause with ease.

Lung & Bronchial - This formula is extremely valuable in strengthening and healing the entire respiratory tract. I take this one all winter to keep my lungs strong and clear. A good choice for asthma sufferers.

Mindtrac - for a bad day, week, month or year, Mindtrac is a great alternative to Psychiatric drugs. I never would have thought that I would need a formula like this and can’t even relate how great this formula is. This is a must have for those hard times, and everyone has hard times. Great great formula!

Pancreas Formula - for diabetes as well as hypoglycemia. I have had a lot of feed back from people with diabetes getting off insulin. A friend that is diabetic was struggling with affording the medication and was amazed at how affordable the Pancreas Formula is and how well it works. The natural way is always better.

Relax-Eze - This one has been a lifesaver for me over the years. Dr. Christopher talks about it being for frayed nerves and I can attest to the fact that this is very calming on the nerves. I’ve also used it for nerve damage when a shot at the dentist affected some nerves, it was the only thing that would do anything for the pain which took a full six months to heal. Great for sleep problems too.

Slumber or Sweet Dreams - nice to have something on hand for those nights when you just can’t get to sleep. Mindtrac is a great on too if you just can’t turn your brain off at night. I find it helpful to switch products every few nights when I am having sleep problems.

Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green - Vitalerbs is a synergistic blend of popular whole nutritional food for the body. Jurassic Green is packed full of phyto-nutrients, whole food vitamins, trace minerals, active enzymes, chlorophyll, balanced amino acids and other important nutrients needed by the body. Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green is a great way to help maintain good health.

I could go on and on and if you look at the photo of my herb cabinet it is full of great herbal formulas. Here are the links to the Christopher Catalog and Western Botanicals Catalog. I encourage you to print them out and mark the formulas that would be beneficial to your family and then work towards filling your herb cabinet.

The Choice Is Yours

A friend called me a few weeks ago to ask if I knew what was going on with her having numbness in her hands and feet. I didn’t know but could tell she was worried, so suggested she go to a doctor to find out what was wrong. She went and found that she has diabetes. Now that she knows what the problem is she can learn what to do for it. She ordered the Pancreas Formula and said wow, these herbs are way less expensive than the medication that they want to put me on.

I think this is a good time to review one of my older posts on my blog about Natural Medicine vs. Conventional Medicine. It is important to read this from time to time to remind us of how herbs and correct diet work in our bodies and why it is a better choice over conventional medicine. We also need to realize that we get ourselves into these kinds of messes from how we eat. My dad is a good example, he is my close family member that is on dialysis in the Natural Medicine vs. Conventional Medicine post, and the reason why we made a quick trip to Washington last month. I kept giving him herbs to cleanse his kidneys, build up his blood etc. He would say they aren’t working. When I was there I brought home the almost full bottles of everything that I gave him over the past few years. The herbs don’t work if they stay in the bottle, you have to actually open the bottle and eat them. He just didn’t want to change, has chosen the medical method and is paying an awful high price for it.

The lesson is this; we all choose our fate, is it eating whatever we want and using conventional medicine to only get worse and worse, or are we going to change our diet and use the herbs 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, and you will be healthy. The choice is clear for me.

I am happy to give links to people that ask. Please email me with what you are looking for if you can’t find it yourself. A great website to learn from is the Herbal Legacy Website from the School of Natural Healing, and where most of the links I give come from. Due to the FTC and FDA regulations we are not able to post this information on our website. We also have available for purchase, Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing Aliment CD Rom, $4.95 with a $50.00 purchase, or $13.97 without the minimum purchase. This CD is well worth the investment and has been updated from the old one that we offered a few years ago.

Comment from a subscriber:

Loved this and forwarded it to a lot of people. I keep getting..."So what can I do?" My answer is, "So what is the problem." They don't want to find out but they want someone else to fix it. Loved the story about your Dad. My sister did the same thing.

My question when she found out that she was ill, " Would you like to start an herbal program." Her answer was, " No, the doctor is going to heal me." She died in 2005. It is a planet of choice.
Herbally,
