My husband is 46 and has been diagnosed with high blood pressure. He is taking the medication that the doc. has prescribed. Is there any thing else that he can do or use to get this under control? He has always been healthy, he hates taking the meds because it is affecting ....... You know what.

I suggest you read our "High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)" article. It's located under ARTICLES on our site.

On May 10th 2003, I was attacked while on my job and I suffered injuries to the lumbar and to the cervical spine. I was given pain management therapy (cortizone) in massive doses; about 18+ injections over a 3-week period in October of the same year. By Thanksgiving, 2003, I was admitted into hospital with blood sugar levels of 800+! While thyroid issues have exhibited in the family, there is no history of diabetes on either the maternal or paternal sides of my family, neither is there any sign of the disease in any of my other 11 siblings, the youngest of which is 40+. At one point, the symptoms of the diabetes disappeared for 2 years, and reappeared in January of 2007. I am not overweight, nor do I have excessive body fat. I work out every day with weights, and have the appearance of a body builder, although not excessive. I walk about 3-5 miles every day and have consistently low blood pressure levels, much to the surprise of my doctors. I have and excellent diet; mostly consisting of fresh vegetables and skinless broiled chicken and fish. Some beef with the marble trimmed. I have a normal stool consisting of solid waste, and regularly. I have long suggested that my pancreatic duct(s) are blocked and after reading some of the literature on your website, I am even surer of it. Although the levels lately are starting to stabilize again, I am taking this synthetic insulin, about 3-4 units in the mornings, and before dinner, and about 10-16 units of the overnight insulin. Being well muscled, and not overweight therefore not needing to lose weight, and being totally active, what are my options in assisting me to unblock the pancreatic ducts of what I believe to be the cortisone, as I have spoken to others with the same situation, so that my pancreas may better function? I have also read about some of the other products that may be helpful. I look forward to your response, as I have heard your commercial on KJLH radio.

Sounds like you need to perform the Full Body Cleanse and Pancreas Cleanse And Regimen to kick start your pancreas into activity. Also, practice some of the other regimens I listed in the "Diabetes" article (especially drinking the vegetable juice).

What herbs can help shrink a tumor in the pancreas? And are there any herbs that will help with cancer in the pancreas?

Chaparral, goldenseal, maitake mushroom, and comfrey root are all good herbs, for both pancreas tumors and pancreatic cancer. For pancreatic cancer we recommend to first perform the Full Body Cleanse, followed by the 10 Day Electric Greens Combo Regimen and lastly complete the Pancreas Cleanse. While detoxing overdose on vegetable juice (green veggies). After completing the cleansing process we recommend taking 3 capsules of the Pancreas Formula 2-3 times a day, also begin with these individual formulas; Alchemist Gold, and Oxy-Drops. Other formulas we sell that can help heal from cancer are: Mushroom Combo, Anti-T Formula, Anti-Tumor Extract

In the Full Body Cleanse, can you take formula #7 with water and how much do you use? Also, I would like to know if you can mix formula #2 with a fruit juice (while detoxing)?

Formula #7: You're supposed to take one tablespoon full with water, 1 glass full! Mix or stir well and drink!

Formula #2: yes, but wouldn't recommend it! Water is best!

Please read "How To Take Herbs".

What do you recommend to increase Testosterone levels? Also, help to increase sexual stamina/appetite using natural resources?

Read our free articles, i.e. "Impotence, Infertility, and Sterility"; "Testicular Problems", : "Natural Penis Enlargement", etc.

Do you have independent analysis studies on your products (i.e. cude analysis, quantitative analysis) from Companies like ConsumerLab who does independent product analysis?

No Sir! We don't do these types of tests for our products which we consider FOOD! Many herb companies check (and rightfully so) because they mix herbs with drugs and do all other sorts of things, i.e. add fillers, binders, preservatives. Dherbs is simple! Pure herb in vegan capsule with our intent to help people. That's it! Now however, we do use divination to check the potency of our herbs and elixirs and we also utilize this method if we decide to check for anything else; however, it's very rare!

My niece is trying to get off of some drugs that she's been taking. What are the best herbs to help her with that?

Illegal drugs or legal drugs? Have her detox with the Full Body Cleanse. Every day during the detox, have her soak in hot water with 3-6 boxes of sea salt added to each bathe. Have her drink vegetable juice daily. Have her drink 1-2 cups of Licorice Tea daily!

First of all, I will like to say thanks for such wonderful product. I truly believe that I am blessed to come across this site. My concern is this: I bought the Full Body Cleanse this is my third and final week on it, yet, I have not had regular bowel movement daily. At times, I may have a movement once a day and after few days have another. One of my excitements was, to lose some weight as well as cleanse myself. What do I need to do? My next step is to buy the Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen. I am waiting for your advice as to what step to take next before buying it. Thanks for your kindness and willingness to listen.

Lack of bowel movements means your colon is compacted. It may take some time but the herbs will regulate it. Drink more water, drink Bowel Motion Tea and also drink prune juice (especially at night before bed). I suggest you perform the 10 Day Colon Cleanser next followed by the Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen. I am glad you enjoy Dherbs.Com!

I have Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and I only have a discharge and I am about to be on my cycle I know that tampons and pads are not good cause of the chemicals it can leave. Is there any pads or tampons that are natural or don't have chemicals that can harm any bacteria for my vagina?

We list alternative brand pads in Dherbs Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook). Brands off hand include Natra-Care (which I highly endorse) and Seventh Generation.

My mother had a mastectomy about 33 yrs ago and her arm has always been swollen. Now as she becomes older it is getting larger than ever. She takes meds from the doctor, I think they are fluid pills, this doesn't seem to help and it keeps her running to the restroom so much she doesn't take the full prescription. What do you suggest for her problem? She also has heart problems that limit her from a lot of exercises.

Swollen-ness deals with fluid retention and perhaps inflammation. Have her rub carrier oil (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.) on the swollen skin and then rub in some peppermint and/or euclayptus oil (3-4 drops) on top of the carrier oil. Have her soak in hot water and sea salt. Dherbs formulas I recommend are Headache And Pain Formula , Central Nervous System formula, and Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenals.

I want to purchase your Anti-V Formula for my herpes, but before I do let me give you some background. I have had this since I was 19 and I'm 21 now. I have outbreaks every month around my menstrual cycle. Also, I'm constantly applying Abreva to my lips several times daily. I take Valtrex but it doesn't help. I have changed my diet and nothing helps. Is there anything else you recommend taking with this anti-viral product? Thank you I hope to hear from you soon.

I suggest you read our "Genital Herpes" article on our site under Articles. If you feel nothing helps, check your MENTALITY. Doubt cancels out healing. So does worrying and skepticism. Read the article "Think Yourself Healthy" You can heal, Beloved. Changing your diet, did you go all raw foods and give up meat and dairy products? Around your menses, drink Female Health Tea. Bathe in hot water and sea salt (2 boxes) and add in 2-3 drops of essential oil of Clary sage and Geranium (available at Whole Foods). There's so much you can do! At some point, perform our Full Body Cleanse followed by our Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen.

I am finishing up the Master Cleanse fast and was wondering as I reenter my vegetarian life should I do this with your Full Body Cleanse? Or is this "too much" detoxing, the Master Cleanse and the Full Body Cleanse?

You can do the Master Cleanse with the Full Body Cleanse (as long as you eat raw foods as our herbs are very potent). The Master Cleanse is a beverage and as such you can perform it while detoxing!

I am on day TWO of 10 Day Colon Cleanser. May I eat a half cup rolled organic rolled oats a day? I eat the oats to provide fuel just before my two hour core, spinning and rowing class. May I continue to drink Ivy's drink ? It's 1 tablespoon of Spirulina Powder, 2 tablespoons Psyllium Husk, 2 tablespoons Aloe Vera 1/4 cup of apple juice and 2 tablets of 450 mg Cascara Sagrada? Look forward to your response.

You are free to eat as you please via free will. But we suggest the eating recommendations for a reason. The oats are okay (except they create mucus) and the Ivy's Drink is okay (nothing adverse to the cleanse) and sounds like a pretty healthy tonic.
