Natural Remedies for Food Poisoning

---

    Essential Oils are 33% off right now. The Garden Essence Essential Oil line that we carry are the highest quality available. Compare their quality to the network marketed oils, you get the same quality at an affordable price because you aren’t paying multiple levels of people making money off of what you buy.

    I consider myself a student, because there is so much to learn about how to keep our bodies healthy, and every day I learn something new.  Friends often say to me,  you are always trying to be healthy, like that is a bad thing. What is the alternative to always trying to be healthy??  That isn’t a path I want to take!  I find it better to work on being the healthiest I can be, that includes the food I eat and the herbs I ingest, and the essential oils I use, etc.

    Over the weekend I put the Digestion Blend Essential Oil to good use.  I had scallops for lunch on Sunday and a few hours later I was feeling a little off.  My whole stomach and guts just hurt!  I took some Gas-Eze and went and rubbed the Digestion Oil all over my entire abdomen.  I laid down and after about half an hour I was feeling good enough to get up and watch TV. 

    The next morning I woke up feeling ok, so exercised and took my herbs.  I worked on a few things and then was going to take a shower when the pain hit me in my gut again.  I decided that I had better use the Activated Charcoal to help absorb whatever poison might still be in me.  I couldn’t find any, but still had a bit in my travel kit, so took that and put the Digestion Blend all over my abdomen again.  Within 5 minutes I was feeling relieved of the pain and was able to take my shower and go on with my day. I used the Digestion Blend again as I went to bed that night and didn’t have a problem with it again.  I sure like having the right remedy when something happens!

    Another favorite essential oil blend is the X-Plague which is very useful during cold season.  I like to add it to a bottle of Glandular Massage Oil - 60 drops in the 2 oz. bottle.  We use this liberally on our neck and feet when we have been exposed to sick people or feel like we have a cold coming on.  This is a great combo and you get a lot of use out of it for the money.  The little roller bottles are wonderful for giving everyone their own supply of this blend which makes it very portable in a pocket or purse.

    Natural Health is easy and affordable.  I like to learn by trying new things to see how they work on me and then I share it with others.  I am proactive when it comes to my health and the health of my family.  Having herbs and oils on hand makes it easy for me to treat just about any problem that we are faced with.

    Read the last chapter of An Herbal Legacy of Courage and learn about how Dr. Christopher lost his license to practice medicine.  He did far more to help people when he began teaching people how to use the herbs to heal themselves.  His legacy lives on as we all continue to use his great formulas to help ourselves and our families.

20 different formulas all in one little bag!

     I love to travel and I am always worried before closing the suitcase if we packed everything,  mainly with having the herbs we may need! We did fine on our trip to Arizona this past week and found that we had the herbs that we needed in our handy little herb travel pack. I was concerned at one point that I didn’t have what I needed, I’ll tell you more about that later.

     We have a couple of timeshares that we use to trade for places we want to visit, and it works out great because we always book a place with a full kitchen.  We like to cook our own food, that way we know what we are eating and don’t have to worry about GMO foods and other health hazards we may encounter eating out.  Out of the 23 meals we ate 22 we prepared ourselves.  I know most people look forward to not having to cook on vacation, so it must seem pretty weird, but it works for us.  I brought a few canned items to put together a few meals with, which gave us the option of eating out or not.  It surprised me that we didn’t eat out more often and I am pretty complacent about fixing meals if we are at home or away. 

     Near the end of the week we were about out of the fresh food and were discussing our dinner for the evening.  I had brought the fixings for chili and the weather was a bit nippy at night, so chili sounded like the perfect meal.  When I mentioned it as an option to eating out my husband said, only if you brought something for gas!  I knew that I didn’t have any Gas-Eze in my travel pack but had some Activated Charcoal he could try. He felt good about it so we made the chili, he took the Activated Charcoal and it did it’s job, no gas!  Happy day!  Read what I put in the travel kit in at this post.

Nerve Formulas Heal Nerve Damage, Epilepsy, Tourettes, etc.

    I had a customer email today reporting that her sister had a tooth removed over a year ago and in the removal it ripped up her gums as well as the nerves with some being exposed.  The gum healed but she has been suffering terrible pain as well as seizures sometimes causing her to not be able to move her mouth and at times to speak. She has had doctors and dentists tell her that nothing is wrong with her and some even saying she is faking it!  It is experiences like this that converted me to natural healing, because there is always a cure with natural healing and they never treat you like you are crazy!

    I have had two dentists damage nerves that took some time to heal.  The first time I wasn’t using the herbs, I ended up with a numb face for about two years before it finally healed on its own.  The second adventure actually happened three times before I switched dentists.  When work had to be done the dentist ended up damaging nerves with the shots.  I used Relax-Eze to heal the problem, but it took a huge amount of it to heal - 4 capsules at least 4 times a day for six months!  Hard to believe that it took me three times to figure out the dentist was not good at all!  I have never had any problem since I switched to my present dentist.

    For the customer I let her know my story and suggested the Relax-Eze, having the patient work with the herbs to determine her dosage.  I like to start with 2 capsules, if that takes care of the pain then when the pain comes back take two again as needed until the healing occurs.  If two wasn’t enough, then try 3, then 4 and so on until you find the dosage.  Then take as needed for as long as needed. 

    For the seizures Dr. Christopher has written quite a bit about using the Ear & Nerve Formula which is an extract.  In Dr. Christopher's writings it is called B&B.  I have read and heard about many miracle healings of Epilepsy, seizures, hearing loss, Tourettes and stuttering all clearing up using his program.  You can learn how to follow the program on Herbal Legacy.

    This weeks lesson from An Herbal Legacy of Courage follows Dr. Christopher as he becomes an herbalist and opens a practice.  Not having enough money to sustain his family he works a gardener in the morning, harvesting the herbs that he uses in the afternoon to heal his patients.  Learn from him as he developes more healing formulas that we use 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.

    What are some of the miracles you have experienced using herbal medicine?

I'm Going to Be a Doctor.

    This week’s reading assignment is Chapter 1 of An Herbal Legacy of Courage book.  Please click on the above link to read the chapter.  

    Dr. Christopher’s life is full of so many amazing events.  He was left in an orphanage as an infant along with his sister, and adopted by two loving people. He nearly died as a young child, miraculously a stranger knocked on their door saying the child was not to die, that he had an important mission to perform. John's father listened as the stranger gave explicit instructions on how to cut the phlegm and stop the croup, they followed the instructions and he lived.

    Born with advanced rheumatoid arthritis, John endured excruciating pain. Doctors said he would never live to be thirty. His mother had many health issues as well, and it tore at his heart as he sat, helpless against the diseases that ravaged her and unable to ease her agony. One day she asked  what he wanted to be when he grew up.  He said a doctor. She laughed saying you can’t stand the sight of blood and he remarked back, “Mother, I will be able to heal people without cutting them up. There will be natural ways of doing it”.

    In his studies he came across scripture that told him he needed to eat meat sparingly, eat fruits, grains and nuts in their seasons.  John adopted a stringent diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. As he changed his diet, he noticed his rheumatism changed. With the full diet, he suffered little from the disease. He wrote and published his first book Just What is the Word of Wisdom? 

    Read chapter 1 which tells about when he was pronounced dead and sent to the morgue, only to be found breathing by his parents when they came to identify the body.......

    This is a wonderful book where you can learn Dr. Christopher's amazing life's journey and how he came to formulate many of his famous herbal formulas.

    How did you first become interested in natural healing?

   

It’s back to school time, for you!

Please “like” us on Facebook
and follow our blog to stay up to date on the latest news.

    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!

Dissolving Kidney and Gall Stones

A friend recently told me that she and her daughter were having problems with kidney stones which always happens late at night.  Unfortunately I was hearing about this after they received medical treatment for the problem.

Stone Dissolve tea is famous for its action as a dissolver for calculi (stones). Drink 1 to 2 quarts daily of tea made with apple cider to dissolve stones in the kidneys and entire urinary tract. The herbs in Stone Dissolve tea will also assist in the removal of gall bladder stones, and is soothing to inflamed tissue and assists smooth and painless release of the stones. The success of this herbal routine has been documented with pre and post x-rays and has helped many avoid surgery. Stone Dissolve tea is available in 5 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz bulk bags.

Last year on our blog I talked about a member of my church that had gone in for a“simple” stone removal surgery.  Something went wrong and he lost his kidney as well as needing bladder repair, spending many days in the hospital and months of recovery.  Sadly, this poor guy has not fully recovered and has had health problems since that time.


Years ago I was having back pain that just wouldn’t go away. After talking to a friend who was having kidney stones and comparing the symptoms, I felt pretty sure that I was having kidney stones. I started thinking about what I was doing that was different and I realized that I wasn’t drinking Jurassic Green like I had been months earlier. I looked up the ingredients in Jurassic Green and found that Alfalfa is good for dissolving gravel.

Gravel is the same as stones, so I decided that I needed to continue drinking the Jurassic Green.  After just one dose the pain was gone and it has been many years since then and I have continued drinking Jurassic Green and I have never had the kidney stone problem again. This is amazing because most people continue to have problems with stones. I don't know if Jurassic Green would work for everyone, I would suggest using the Stone Dissolve Tea as the best option.  Jurassic Green has been great for me on so many levels.  I like to use the Jurassic Green powder and add it to juice, it is also available in capsules.

There are too many risks for me to put my health into the hands of another person, no matter how much education they may have.  Herbal remedies are simple, effective and affordable.  How hard is it to make a tea or mix some powder into juice and drink it down?  It isn’t hard.  How happy are we when a health issue such as kidney stones happens to us and we have $20.00 worth of herbs that can take care of the problem quickly? We are very happy, and have more time and money in our pockets because we can take care of it ourselves!

Raw Chocolates made with Coconut Oil and Essential Oils

    I heard about people making raw chocolate and being a chocolate lover myself I had to learn how to make it.  There are many studies about the health benefits of chocolate, so for the best health eat raw chocolate!  There have been studies done on the health benefits of coconut oil which you can learn about on the Coconut Research Center website. There are so coconut oil

here at Herbs First for five years - shipping is only $10.00 for up to 4 gallons of oil!

  





 1 cup cold pressed virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw cacao butter
12 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 tablespoons agave or 2 teaspoons stevia

Put a cup of coconut oil in a 4 cup glass measuring cup.  Add the tablespoon of raw cacao butter on top of the coconut oil, I have found that it melts much quicker when it is grated. You can make it without the cacao butter, but I find that it gives it a richer taste with it.  Get a large bowl of hot water and put the glass measuring cup into the hot water - be sure not to get any water into the oil.  I let it sit on the counter for about half an hour to melt. 

    When the oils are melted add the other ingredients, I like to use stevia, but the agave syrup would make more chocolate!  Stir completely with a whisk and then pour into your molds and add your add-ins to them.  Place them in the freezer for 30 minutes and then pop them out of the mold.  Keep them either frozen or refrigerated because coconut oil has a low melting point.    Pictured I show almonds, I love nuts!  Dried tart cherries, yum, chocolate covered cherries!  And my favorite coconut.  I now pour some of the liquid chocolate into a bowl and add the coconut to a very thick consistency.  I then spoon it onto a wax paper covered pan and freeze it. A coconut lover’s delight!  The first photo at the top shows a coconut chocolate done as this way.    

  Another favorite is mint and orange flavored chocolate.  Be careful not to add too much peppermint essential oil or it is too strong.  I’ll pour out 1/2 cup of liquid chocolate and add 3 to 4 drops of peppermint essential oil to the mixture.  Same thing with the orange essential oil, start with 3 to 4 drops taste and add more if it needs more flavor.  Which essential oils would you use to flavor chocolates?  I love these flavored chocolates, very tasty!

   My husband does not like dark chocolate, so I decided to experiment making milk chocolate with coconut milk.  I use the full fat organic Thai coconut milk - I add a good 2 - 3 tablespoons to the chocolate mixture and it makes a mellower chocolate that he enjoys.  The photo of the three chocolates at the top are the milk chocolate, with coconut, peppermint and almonds.  We are loving these healthy treats at our house! 

   We went to a wedding reception a few weeks ago where they had muffin tin sized servings of MnM’s. They didn’t interest me, but my husband grabbed them. He popped a few in his mouth and turned to me and said, “yuck, your chocolates taste much better”! Yay, I have a raw chocolate convert in the house!
