I would like to know what are the benefits of green food drinks (superfoods as I've heard them called) and how often could I drink them in a day? Thank you in advance for your wisdom!

The benefits are all positive: alkaline, energizing, nutritious, rich in chlorophyll, antioxidant, etc. And you can drink them as much as you like, just like many people drink wine, beer, coffee, Kool-Aid, milk, etc. As much as they like and never worry about it. It's all good!

I heard about Hoodia on the TODAY show on NBC. It's supposed to suppress your appetite for weight loss. I have printed Wikipedia for a more formal definition. It's supposed to be natural. Hoodia is a genus of 13 species in the flowering plant family Apocynaceae, under the subfamily Asclepiadoideae. [1] They are stem succulents, described as "cactiform" because of their remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family. They can reach up to 1mhigh and have large flowers, often with flesh colour and strong smell. Many Hoodia species are protected plants, typical of the Namib Desert, ranging from Central Namibia to southern Angola, especially in plains and rocky areas. Common names include "Bushman's Hat" and "Queen of the Namib". Several species are grown as garden plants, and one species, Hoodia gordonii, is being investigated for use as an appetite suppressant.

Suppression is not cure or healing! You can't solve a problem by suppressing it! A suppressed appetite will manifest in some other area, i.e., an enormous appetite for sex, shopping, drugs, etc. Just because a thing is natural doesn't mean you are addressing the root of the problem, Beloved! It's much deeper than suppressing!

Should I try your Smoke-Less Formula and No Alcohol Formula BEFORE I detox??? Please advise.

I say detox first but stop looking for external solutions for internal problems. The answer always lies within self. You are the answer, not some product (natural or unnatural).

Is it counter-productive to smoke while detoxing?

Now come on, Beloved! Use your common sense here and tell me what do you really think about this question you're asking me that I really don't have to answer.

What happens when you lose your kidney? I have a tumor in my right kidney and will be set up for surgery when I go back to the doctor on Feb. What do I need to take after the surgery?

Removal of a kidney will tax your body and other remaining kidney. After your surgery perform the Full Body Cleanse. Drink Juniper Berry and/or Cornsilk tea which are good for the kidneys.

I had recently been taking Ibuprofen for joint pain and stopped after about 4 mos as I noticed it, or something else has caused my ankles and feet to swell preventing me from wearing my cowboy boots. I have taken a glucose tolerance test that showed I was breaking down sugar(s) properly. Is there anything you can recommend to reduce the swelling I'm experiencing?

Try Headache And Pain Formula, Electric Greens Combo, Joint Aid formula, MSM Sulfur, and Alkaline Formula formulas. Also, start soaking in hot water and 2 boxes of sea salt (daily).

What do you think about "Amaroli" (drink our own urine)? I heard in India there is a clinic specialize in this therapy and it also gives good results in Africa on some diseases.

My daughter has Trisomy 21 and has tubes in her ears. Her ear canals are very small and her ears are normally developed. She is 18 months old and I was wondering if it would be okay to do Ear Coning and would this affect the ear tubes? The second question is what causes the tonsils to enlarge (cold/infection)? Is there a product that can be used so that she can keep her tonsils?

It's too early to perform ear coning on her (unless you can find very small cones). Wait till age 2. Give her ear drops! Enlarged tonsils are inflamed due to mucus buildup. Product or no product, you never allow anyone to remove what God gave the body. However, there are many products. Give our Mucus Formula Tea a try. Put it in a bottle and give to the child. You can sweeten it a little with maple syrup.

I would like to know if you are familiar with this disease. It has no known cause but produces a curvature of the penis. I experienced this about six months ago and is quite upsetting. I spoke to my doctor about this and he told me he also experienced this when he was about 60 and he just lives with it. He also referred me to a urologist, but I feel that would only lead to some prescribed medication. I know better. I would appreciate any assistance you may have to offer. Thank You.

Could be necrosis (degeneration) of the penis tissue. Work on your circulation! Give Jackrabbit formula, Male Health Tea, and Circulation Aid formulaa try!

My brother in Jamaica, was given 6 mos to live. He has hypertension, diabetes, kidney & lung problems. Please give me a remedy to cure all! I want to use your website to get all the things he needs delivered to his door. Thank you!

He only has 6 months to live if he really BELIEVES that! There is no product that serves as a remedy. Healing is wholistic, i.e. mental, attitudinal, dietary, lifestyle, and environmental. Have the person perform the Full Body Cleanse followed by the Pancreas Cleanse And Regimen. Have him drink the Detox Tea daily (throughout the day).
