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.

Are you still struggling with health issues?

Dr. Christopher always 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 processed foods they are eating and will poison their bodies with radiation, chemotherapy and drugs trying to get well. Please invest in yourself and your family by learning about how much food matters. 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. Learn about Dr. Christopher’s Mucusless Diet and view videos at Original Fast Foods  and other websites that teach about all the wonderful foods that will help you have the best health.

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.

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 is a great place to learn more about which products to use to treat your ailment. Leaky Gut Syndrome is a good place to start and an issue for many people.  Read Dr. Axe's book, Eat Dirt to learn more in depth about how to heal your leaky gut with more in depth diet directions.

Staying Healthy With Plant Based Vitamins & Minerals

I was recently tested by a ZYTO machine and one of the results was that my vitamins, minerals and other nutrients were high. The gal that tested me was amazed and said that I was the first person that she tested that had enough vitamins and minerals in them. I eat Vitalerbs, Herbal Calcium and Jurassic Green which are food based vitamins and minerals. On top of that I get a green smoothie in most days that is packed full of raw spinach, chia seeds and fruit, as well as getting in as much other raw foods as I can throughout the day. It was nice to get some proof that the herbal based vitamins are being used by my body and not just flushed down the toilet, and that my diet is making a difference! I test well on NuSkin’s BioPhotonic Scanner as well which shows that you don’t have to buy pricey vitamins to be healthy.

Dr. Christopher always taught people to eat mainly from a plant based diet and that is what will make the most difference in your health. Vitamins and minerals from plants are readily available and easily used by your body. Dr. Christopher taught pregnant women to use Herbal Calcium to provide calcium to the growing baby. If calcium is not available to the fetus, then calcium will be robbed from the woman’s body to provide that nutrient to the growing fetus. That is why so many women lose their teeth and have problems with osteoporosis. We have a great buy on Herbal Calcium in the mix your own formula, 3.5 lbs of Herbal Calcium for under $60.00. That will last my husband and I six months taking a heaping teaspoon daily. I had a bone density test a few years ago and I tested high for my age!

My husband and I both take a heaping teaspoon of Jurassic Green and six capsules of Vitalerbs every day. I take Hormonal Changease and he takes Male Urinary Tract Formula. We both add Maca Root and Ginkgo to our Jurassic Green which is mixed in fresh squeezed orange juice. We are doing what we can, but still get sick about once every year and a half or so, usually due to overwhelming stress. I think we are doing better than most people and we are working every day to eat better, get our exercise in and de-stress. Mindtrac helps a lot, we have both been taking it since my husband lost his job over two years ago.

As I watch and notice how other people my age and older look, and what their health is like, the harder I work on myself. I know what I am supposed to do, it isn’t the popular way, but who wants to be that kind of popular? It certainly is cheaper to
take care of ourselves with herbs and eat right, than to end up with one disease or another.

Back to school for the ADD/ADHD child & parents

By August most parents are ready for their kids to be back in school especially if you have an ADD or ADHD child. On the flip side of that is the stress the parent goes through to get the child through the school year, no easy task and I’ve been there.

For anyone dealing with a stressful situation, especially parents of the ADD/ADHD child you need to take care of yourself first. My favorite formula for stress is Mindtrac which is great for the child, but also for the people that live with them. This formula has been a lifesaver for me over the years helping me to get through the day. This formula covers anxiety, depression, stress and hyperactivity. I highly recommend Mindtrac for the parents of ADD/ADHD children. Kid-e-Trac is available in liquid form for small children.

Food choices are very important for the ADD/ADHD child. Stick with real food that you prepare, so that you know what they are eating. Avoid processed foods, foods with dyes, MSG, foods with nitrates, artificial sweeteners, etc. Greatly limit sugar and keep the foods as close to their natural state as possible. I can say that beyond a shadow of a doubt the above foods set these kids off.

There are several formulas that make a big difference for these kids and one nutrient that most ADD/ADHD kids are low in is Essential Fatty Acids. We carry Nature’s Way EFA Blend for children. This blend of oils helps with the proper transmission of brain and nerve signals. Here is what Hollie has to say about EFA Blend for children:

My son was diagnosed with mild Aspbergers Syndrome (high functioning Autism) as well as ADHD. To say he is a handful, is putting it mildly! I started giving him the EFA Blend when he started Kindergarten. It truly makes a difference for him! It helps him with his focus as well as with the impulsivity that he experiences. In fact, he started calling them his “smart pills”, because he recognizes the changes in himself. It took me a few months to come up with the proper dosage for him. I started him on 2 pills once a day, and worked from there, waiting about 2 weeks before making any other changes. He is now getting ready to start 2nd grade, and I give him 3 in the morning and 3 at bedtime. I’ve tried decreasing the dosage, but find that he does the best with the 6 pills daily. A couple of months ago, I ran out of the EFA Blend. I thought I had a bottle in my cupboard, and to my dismay, I was out. In just the few days that he was without the EFA, I noticed a tremendous difference in his attitude and actions. I was SO grateful when my order arrived and I could give him his “smart pills”! This is one formula that I hope to never be without!

Western Botanicals Attention Focus is a great formula for people with ADD/ADHD. I was amazed at the difference in my son's ability to get his school work done when we took this formula his senior year. We told a neighbor how about Attention Focus and they got it for their young daughter who is now twelve. It has been a formula she has stayed on for the past three years. A niece and nephew used it as well and mentioned how much easier it was to pay attention in school. Western Botanicals also has a formula called Attention Calm with the same ingredients as Attention Focus with more herbs added in to deal with the hyperactivity. I suggest to people to get a bottle of both and see which one is best for their child. Work on dosage as well, starting out with a lower dose and adding capsules to determine what works best for them as is noted for the EFA Blend. Both of these formulas are available in capsules, syrup and extract. For younger children who can’t swallow pills be sure to get the syrup as it is alcohol free. Western Botanicals has done a great job with making their syrups tasty that even the pickiest of children will take them without problems.

Additional nutritional support via Vitalerbs or Kid-e-Mins is very essential for everyone. These are herbal based vitamins that our bodies can easily assimilate. Hundreds of studies have shown that our bodies need whole foods. Only whole foods can provide all the proper elements needed to assist in total health.

ADD/ADHD kids can grow up to be great people. Never give up on them, continue to give them the love, support and understanding that they need.

Place your order today so that you can work on finding the correct dosage before school starts.

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.

Healthy Resolutions for the New Year

Three Day Cleanse: helps to eliminate the toxins out of the body. Great idea after eating refined and processed foods during the holidays. Kick start getting back to healthier eating habits with a three day cleanse.

Extended Herbal Cleanse: for people with long-standing health problems an extended herbal cleanse will help rid the body of chronic conditions or to prevent their occurrence. Everyone can benefit from this cleanse because even if we eat right we are still exposed to pollutants in the air we breath and the water we bathe in. The cleanse kit is the most affordable way to purchase the cleansing herbs.

Eat your healthy herbs: Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green are a great start to a healthy day. Vitamins & minerals that are plant based are quickly absorbed and easily digested to quickly get into the bloodstream. Other great plant based products are Earth’s Nutrition, Bountiful Blend & Alive Vitamins. Only whole food supplements can provide all the proper elements needed to assist in total health. Herbs have been utilized for their nutritional value for thousands of years.

Eat live foods: 70% of our diet should consist of fruits & vegetables. The balance of the meals contain nuts, seeds, whole grains and grass-fed hormone free meats. Stay away from processed foods, sugar, white flour, fried foods, etc. because these foods have no nutritive value and cause pain and disease.

Here are some great links to help you with diet changes:

Original Fast Foods Daniel's Challenge Bestfoodist Tifffany’s Table

Exercise daily: get into a good routine and keep moving! Stretching, weight lifting, rebounding & walking are all simple things that everyone can do. You are worth it! Take the time and you will find that it is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Sleep: the need for sleep differs from person to person, most people need between 8-10 hours of sleep a night. When we get enough rest we are more alert and perform better. If you have problems sleeping work on your diet and cleansing.
