Is Citrus Aurantium a good fat burner?

We have no knowledge of this product. However, citrus fruit is a natural fat burner.

Are boxer briefs as bad as regular briefs?

No, they're actually better. They allow the organs to breathe!

I had brain surgery 31 years ago. Now, I have so much scar tissue on the cerebellum [where the tumor was], that I am slowly becoming disabled. I can not drive, work, or walk with out looking or feeling drunk. I constantly have nystagmus, that is caused by the weight on the cerebellum. I want to know if there is anything, homeopathic/herb wise I can do to help decrease or get rid of the scar tissue?

Take 6 capsules daily of Enzymes Formula, 3 capsules daily of Brain Booster, and 3 capsules of CNS (Central Nervous System) Formula. These will help to repair your damaged scar tissue. Take them faithfully and be patient (as you have serious scar tissue damage). The herbs will begin to help repair the damaged tissue.

Is there any way to heal from locked-in syndrome?

There most certainly is! You can heal from any degenerative disease! Change your thoughts, your diet (go vegan and raw foods), your lifestyle and if need be, your environment. Begin by detoxifying your body (see Dherbs.com Full Body Cleanse).

My baby who was diagnosed with Sickle Cell anemia at 6 months, now is 3 years old, and looking strong and healthy. She has been taking Dherbs supplements for the last year. Kindly let me know if at 3 years she can be put on Sickle Cell Cleanse?

She's too young for the cleanse in capsule form. We're working on the liquid version. Keep doing/giving her what you have been giving her. Keep up the good work! Read "How To Take Herbs".

Can the substitution infant milk be frozen like breast milk and then thawed when ready for use? If so what would the longest time frame be to leave the milk frozen? Thank you!

Yes, it can be frozen. 2-3 days max! Please take time to read the following article: Alternative Infant Formula Milk

I recently purchased the Children's Cleanse (Liquid) to clean out my 6 month old baby boy. The problem is, every time the mucus comes up he quickly swallows it back down. What do you suggest I do?

The mucus the child swallows back down will leave the body via the stools. When the child is older, he/she will learn to spit the mucus out. The body knows how to eliminate what is not wanted in the body.

I have been doing a lot of research on caffeine and the benefits and harms of it. I am looking for some added information about the differences between the caffeine found naturally in coffee or tea, and the kind found in pure caffeine pills. I have heard that the pills are much more harmful, but have not been able to find proof of why. With the exception of "it's made in a lab, therefore it must be worse". If you could shed some light on the matter, I would greatly appreciate it! Just one more question. I have read that caffeine blocks the re-uptake of glutamate. This can cause glutamate toxicity (resulting in dead brain cells), but I am skeptical as to how often this occurs. Will that happen if one takes just 200-mg of caffeine? Is it for the chronic caffeine users who drink 6 cups of coffee a day for 10 years? Thanks so much for your time and effort! Looking forward to some knowledge!

Nature does not make caffeine or any substance in mono-structured form, including caffeine. Caffeine consumed by itself is harmful (a la caffeine pills -- nature does not produce caffeine pills). Caffeine pills are INORGANIC and thus not absorbed by the body (the cells). Bio-caffeiene from plant sources is ORGANIC and thus absorbable. Organic substances can be absorbed through the cells. Inorganic substances cannot. Inorganic caffeine blocks reuptake of glutamate, and that's another reason why synthetic caffeine is harmful. Organic caffeine does not block reuptake of glutamate.

I have been experiencing some worry issues for the last six months. Anxiety, and panic attacks, it's been a hell of a ride. I've just received the Nerve Tea, and read the ingredients, I remember some herbs that effect my dreams, for example, Chamomile. Don't know if this will make a difference drinking the tea in the morning.

Give it a try and see. Get the experience!

Is it OK to sniff eucalyptus oil everyday?

Yes! Inhaling for healing purposes is fine. Do not ingest the oil.

I am female of 51 years with no period for 15 months now. I found a pea type blood filled cyst, or clot that came out of my vagina. I've had blood cyst in my ovary, but it has dissolved. Yes, I am happy this came out of me. Is this normal?

If it came out of you then it is very normal for you! The body works on your behalf. Read "Uterine, Ovarian, Cervical Tumors and Cysts".

I read your info on renal failure and the treatment. How could a dialysis patient like myself drink all this medicine on a fluid restricted diet? Its almost impossible. How would you explain me to do that?

You can't on a restricted fluid diet. You would have to make a choice on which route you'd be taking. You can't do dialysis and natural medicine healing.

I've been a vegan for 2 years now. I've done the FBC 3 times in these two years, but my urine is still yellow. The only time it is clear is immediately after I drink water (reverse osmosis water). If I miss a day of drinking water, my urine goes back to being dark yellow. Does this mean that my body is still very toxic? Also, is it normal to release urine 5 to 15 minutes after drinking liquids? I would think that water would need to stay in the body for awhile for proper hydration and cleansing.

From what you wrote I would suggest you start drinking alkaline water (purchase an alkaline water machine, you can find various brands in our e-book "Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual"). If you are urinating within 10-15 minutes of drinking water you are not absorbing the water, and thus you require micro-clustered water which an alkaline (and ionizing) water machine does. I also highly recommend consumption of our Kidneys-Bladder formula (3 capsules per day).

My son is 5 years old. At first I thought he was just shy kid. I noticed is shyness is holding him back at school, including friends and family. He is withdrawing. I read about anxiety, it sounds 100% like him. He used to be so happy, now mood swings, and gets angry quick. What can I do to help him?

Give our Magical Alchemical Elixir a try for your son! Read some of our Anxiety articles.

Can I take the Moringa Formula instead of the Vitamin C formula, and still get the necessary nutrients that my body needs from Vitamin C? My daily regime will goes as follows: Electric Green Combo, Iodine, and Moringa Formula or/and Vitamin C based on your answer. Thanks!

You sure can! Ounce per ounce it contains 6 to 7 times the amount of Vitamin C in orange juice. Although Moringa will provide you with a plethra of vitamins and nutrients, you still must eat foods that also bring you these nutrients. Supplements are just that, something added to help complete a diet or dietary needs.

Is it healthy getting more built in less than a week? My brother works out, and he's been getting more and more muscular. He is lifting weights and going to the gym. In just a week his arms grew much much more, and he does eat meat.

Undergoing any health or body changes within less than a week isn't good. Your body needs time to process change. Gradual steps are the easiest way to introduce your body to change whether it's a new diets, exercising or muscle building.

I have yellow dock, and bradock root, in root formula. How should I prepare these herbs?

You prepare them how you want to prepare them: tea, capsules, or extracts. It's your choice in which way you desire to take them. Go online (Amazon.com) and purchase books under "Herbal Preparation." Read some of our Herbology articles.
