Herb of the Week/Female Reproductive Formula

This is a great herb to use during your Menstrual period. I have known a few women that have taken this herb to correct their periods and make them normal. Women have also told me that they have less to no pain during their periods and don't feel as sick. Seems like this would be a great herb for you women to take and plus I think your men will appreciate it haha.

Female Reproductive Formula: Many natural healers know this formula as the female corrective formula. This is an amazing combination of herbs to aid in rebuilding a malfunctioning reproductive system, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. Over the years herbalists and patients have seen painful menstruations, heavy flowing, cramps, irregularity, etc., change to a painless menstrual period, good menstrual timing, and a new outlook on life by using these aids to readjust the malfunctioning areas.

Herb of the week/HCG

What is hCG? 

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a natural hormone produced in large quantities during pregnancy to ensure proper nutrition for the developing baby. hCG triggers the hypothalamus to move stored fat into the bloodstream to be burned as energy. It is believed to reset the metabolism and to protect the body's good fat and keep muscle tissue from breaking down, which occurs in other low calorie diets without the use of hCG.  hCG ezTrim drops are a premium grade homeopathic hCG weight loss product that is made in the USA in an FDA GMP Certified Pharmaceutical Facility.

hCG is a great and natural way to lose weight. It's a healthy way to go as well. There are cleanses you do with it as well that are really beneficial. Not only for losing weight but for cleansing your body which most of us could probably/should do even if you are dieting.

My wife and I tried it for a couple of weeks just to see what it would do. We wanted to see if what was being said about it worked. It did work to our surprise. I guess if we did the cleanse and the meal plan it would have worked better. We just gave it a go on our normal diet and we still lose over 5 pounds in two weeks.

Bilberry Eye Support Formula is a synergistic blend of herbs to help with the healthy circulation to the eye. This formula helps promote blood circulation to the eyes helping to repair damaged vessels, improve night vision, cleanse the tissues and bring antioxidants to the eye.

This makes bilberry a possible first line of defense for those with poor night vision.

Herb of the week/Liver and Gall Bladder Formula

This weeks herb of the week is Liver and Gall Bladder Formula. Its great for cleansing your liver when needed. I have known some people that have taken this for a year or more to cleanse their liver because of liver problems. It helped them and can help you as well.

Liver & Gall Bladder Formula: Barberry or Oregon Grape Root, Wild Yam, Cramp Bark, Fennel Seed, Ginger, Catnip and Peppermint. All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.

Extract: a base of Pure vegetable Glycerine, Distilled Water, & Ethyl Alcohol (less than 5%).

This formula can greatly increase the vitality of the body. To speed up the blood purifying process, it is good to have a clean liver and gall bladder area. When the liver does not function properly, the bile does not excrete freely into the intestinal tract, and so it passes off into the blood stream and throughout the rest of the system, causing a toxic condition, causing indigestion, sluggishness, fatigue, constipation, upset stomach, chills, vomiting and fever.

Ailments historically treated: Cholecystisis, Gallstones, Hepatitis, Jaundice, Liver (General), Osteomalacia, Rickets, Vomiting.

Herb of the week/MindTrac

Are you feeling stressed, depressed or have anxiety? Here is a herb that is a great alternative to ant-depression drugs etc. This also will help you have clarity of mind and to focus. Its called MindTrac.

MindTrac™ contains: Skullcap, Valerian, Oregon Grape root, Barley grass, Alfalfa, Kamut, St. John's wort, Mullein leaf, Lobelia, Gotu Kola, Ginkgo biloba, Sarsaparilla and Dandelion. All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.

Mindtrac™ is an Emotional Clarity Herbal Formula

MindTrac™ is an Alternative to drugs for Depression, Anxiety, Stress & Hyperactivity

MindTrac™ will benefit: Adults, Adolescents/Children, Seniors

MindTrac™ contains properties similar to its drug counterparts without harmful chemicals.

Psychiatric drugs are far more dangerous to take than people realize. They have negative side effects including addiction, and they can produce withdrawal symptoms that are emotionally and physically distressing or even life-threatening. The herbs in MindTrac are formulated to support and heal the body naturally in response to stress. Drugs are used to treat the symptoms, NOT to cure the problem.

Cleanses - Science continues to show that the mind and the body are connected. Stress creates biochemicals which circulate along with the blood. Because the liver is already burdened by pollutants, these "stressful" by-products are less likely to be eliminated quickly. To reduce the burden on the liver, MindTrac contains three herbs - Sarsaparilla, Dandelion and Oregon Grape Root - to cleanse the blood and to stimulate liver detoxification.

Nourishes: A food base of Jurassic Green (flash dried Alfalfa, Barley, and Kamut) supplies the body with essential vitamins and minerals in an all natural form. B vitamins, Chlorophyll, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium help regulate nerve transmission and muscle response.

Stimulates: St. John's Wort has been proven in scientific studies to mimic the effects of antidepressant drugs. It is so effective that we strongly advise against combining this herb with any antidepressant drug. To transition safely from prescription medicine to natural healing, check out our product called Liver Formula™.
MindTrac contains two additional stimulants, Gotu Kola and Gingko Biloba, to synergize the St. John's Wort herb! By improving the blood flow and oxygen circulation to the head, these herbs have been used traditionally to improve memory, nerve response and mental alertness.

Calms: Scullcap and Valerian root are both nervine sedatives and antispasmodics. Besides their calming nature on the nerves and muscles, these herbs promote regular and restful sleep. Mullein and Lobelia are antispasmodics as well as cleansers. They help cleanse the blood by assisting the lymph and the glandular systems.

Herb of the Week/BF&C

Its been a few days since I have posted anything. Been pretty busy the last couple of days. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you all.

Here is the herb of the week. Its called BF&C. This herb is a really great one. I can relate because I used this on my knee while serving in the military. Almost the number one problem with ex military and military is of course bad knee's.

One day my knee just decided to give out and was hurting really bad while rucking with such heavy weight all the time. I went to the medic of course to see what the deal was. His theory was that my cartilage under my kneecap perhaps was all worn away from carrying such heavy weight so much. His solution was either A. stop carrying so much weight (which I couldn't just stop doing) or B. just quit what I was doing at the time and move on to something else. Yeah right, like I would do either. So once I knew what the problem was I went out and ordered BF&C. I rubbed it on my knee about three times a day for 6 months. I haven't had a problem with my knee every since.

Herbs really do work. You just need to give them a try.

Herb of the week/Immune Support

So I decided this week to start posting about herbs since I have been getting a few enquiries about herbs and what they can do.
What I will start doing for you all is post one or two a week and explain a bit about what the herb can do and why herbs are the better choice in wanting to cure something.

I have been using herbs for as long as I can remember. My mother always had them when they were needed. Not only were there no side effects but the herbs did what they were supposed to and you felt extremely better afterwards. A simple cold wouldn't last more than a day of two. Sore throats could be taken care of rather quickly. All the while you are saving money on medication that can cost a lot and trips to the hospital.

I now use what I was taught about herbs when I was younger in my own family and it's great.
For example we have created a horseradish, Cayenne pepper type snuff to clear your sinuses really quick and get rid of the block sinus feeling. Caution...it does burn when it goes in your nose but that sensation goes away after a min or two haha. And guess what??No side effects.

Side effects...what a great thing that is. Yes I to want to take a simple medication for something but possibly get 4 other things wrong with me in the meantime.

Trust me herbs are great. All you have to do is take that step and have the faith, trust and know that they can, will and do work. Some people believe that it's just medication out there for everything. Trust me there isn't.

So first herb of the week is made by Dr. Christophers. Its the Herb brand I recommend. He has been making herbs for a very long time. There are many different brands out there of course and there are some good ones. My opinion Dr. Christophers is the best.

Dr. Christopher's famous "Anti-Plague" formula. 

Ingredients:  Fresh Garlic Juice, Mullein Leaf, Wormwood Herb, Lobelia Herb, Marshmallow Root, White Oak Bark, Black Walnut Leaf, Skull cap Herb, Gravel Root, Plantain Leaf, and Aloe Vera Gel in a pure vegetable glycerine, pure apple cider vinegar & Raw Honey.

Historically used for immune system support and as an herbal remedy for cold & flu season.

Ailments historically treated: Bacterial Infection, Common Cold, Flu, Immune System Function, Influenza, Pneumonia, Sore Throat, Tuberculosis, Typhoid, Upper Respiratory Infection, Yellow Fever.

You can also ask me if you like and I will try to find the answer for you.

Herbal vs Medicine

So what are your thought on using herbs to get rid of a disease rather than using medicine to just cover symptoms up for awhile??

It seems that when herbs can get ride of a disease, Dr's just give you medicine that really doesn't do anything but give you one problem after another thus needing more pills to try to get rid of the new problem.

Now I'm not saying that all medicine is bad. I'm saying that most of the time we don't actually need it especially when we can look for other ways to solve the problem and actually get rid of it. Why would you want to take something that can give you something else?

On most medicine bottles these days you can find "take one three times a day", may cause bleeding, ulcers, headache, nausea, blood in the stool etc..I mean do you really want that potentially with everything else that might be going on.

In my family we have always taken herbal medicine to sort our problems. I have not had something where herbs couldn't fix. Of course that doesn't mean never go to the hospital if something is really really bad. Antibiotics I feel are of use at times.

I do feel and know that there are herbs out there for all types of disease. I just feel that the Dr's and corporations don't want you to know about them because then how will they make any money if everyone is using herbs for everything. They want to keep you sick thus giving you medicine that doesn't really help or actually cure the problem. Knowing this they keep giving you stuff for you to take and again knowing you will need to keep coming back to them. In the end its one big circle and they and the corporations get your money without actually doing anything for you.

Even taking the step of changing what you eat could potentially cure/get rid of some of the problems that might be occurring that you are taking medication for. When in the end you didn't need medication at all. Again the most Dr's wont tell you this.

One thing I should mention with this thought coming from a friend..how much garlic is in your diet?? Garlic is a great natural antibiotic and can help with many things. Now I'm not saying just go eat a whole bunch of garlic but just to think about how much is in your diet and could you add more. Just by adding more garlic to your diet everyday could potentially save you time, money and taking unhealthy medication.

The time to act is now and to change your way of thinking and your diet. Trust me it will help and save you money as well.

To find out a bit more about herbs and what they can do check out the picture below and the link. Whats pictured is what used to be called "Anti Plaque" and is now named "Super Garlic Immune Formula" is used by me and others for

Bacterial Infection, Common Cold, Flu, Immune System Function, Influenza, Pneumonia, Sore Throat, Tuberculosis, Typhoid, Upper Respiratory Infection, Yellow Fever.

They have all types of herbs for pretty much everything. Talk to Kathryn if you need help or shoot me an email and I can also help you find your way. :)

Let me know your thoughts..Im sure there is a lot more I could add but I just wanted to keep it short and sweet for now :)
