Can I use the tooth powder for my 14-month old baby? She has 12 teeth, and I don't like dentists. Thank you!

You most certainly can! It's 100% safe for all, including babies.

Why do I get a horrible stomach ache, that lasts a couple hours after I eat a strong pepper such as a habanero pepper? Is the pepper showing me that I have an existing condition such as an ulcer? Is the pepper damaging my stomach? What is going on?

The stomach ache is talking to you - LEAVE THE PEPPERS ALONE! Sounds like they are burning you internally! Start drinking aloe vera juice daily (one half water, and one half aloe vera juice). Also consider detoxing your body with a Full Body Cleanse.

I'm preparing to make the hemp seed infant milk recipe. Would I need to add Moringa Seed and/or Iodine Phosphate to your recipies? Also, could I freeze this Hemp seed milk and use later?

Yes, add Moringa and Iodine Phosphate to it (for nutritional purposes). And yes, you could freeze it the milk and use later, though fresh is always best. Read "Alternative Infant Formula Milk".

My daughter is 15, she continues belching long ones, definitely not the normal. She doesn't eat anything too spicy. I can't pinpoint why it happens. She belches, morning, noon, or whenever. She often holds it in while in school too avoid embarrassment. Doctor told her to document when it happens. It happens all the time.

Sounds like too much air going in, perhaps while eating. Give the child Carbon Charcoal in a glass of water each morning.

My daughter does not eat milk or have any dairy products. She is beginning to show signs of pubic hair under her armpits and is a lot taller than a lot or her peers. What can I do?

Do not worry! For what can you do? Her body is developing at the rate it is developing. Put right knowledge and information in her head, and she will be just fine! Accept what is!

Is it safe to be lactating @ 53 years old?

Not unless you're breastfeeding! If not, this is not natural!

My 11 yr. old son has a serious problem! The skin between his toes on both feet are peeling, and he has sores. The rest of his feet look fine. Also, on his arms & legs he has black spots. As if he had a mosquito bite and scratched it. But that's not the case. What is this? I've tried tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, and a cream from our local herb store for his feet. To this day nothing has helped. I don't give him meds from our so-called doctors. However, I am considering taking him to get a diagnosis. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanking you in advance and have a wonderful day!

Please read the article on our site entitled "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder" as your son is dealing with a blood disorder. Let his feet breathe which can be done by allowing him to wear sandals, or open air shoes. Allow him to soak his feet in warm water with about half a cup of sea salt, and 1 ounce of hydrogen peroxide (for about 30 minutes). After the soak, rub his feet down and in-between his toes with our Face and Body Oil. Perform daily! Consider having the child completing the Children's Liquid Cleanse.

I read that you do not recommend coconut oil, because of its thickness. Do you believe that coconut butter is healthy for human consumption? Thank you all the knowledge you generously share!

Actually, coconut oil is healthier for human consumption than coconut butter. Both are derived from a natural food source - the coconut, and thus may be consumed. Now as far as what the most healthiest oil, I don't think we can say it's coconut oil.

Your article was extremely thorough and sound concerning Diabetes, its causes and remedies. However, I sort of lost you on weather juvenile diabetics can really be helped by natural remedies? After all, they have a non-functioning pancreas. Can it really be really be revived? If one had diabetes for 50 years is there really any hope for reviving the pancreas naturally, without inserting insulin any more? Please let me know, in my friend's case, she had hepatitis before becoming a diabetic at age 14. There is a theory that this disease somehow instituted the destruction of the pancreas. Could it be that insulin production was literally destroyed never to start again? Have you had other diabetics who were Type 1 recover totally from the disease? Especially after the pancreas has been shut down for so many years?

Beloved, there are no exceptions with natural healing. As long as the body is alive, the organs are alive, though they may be taxed. Give them what they need and simply watching the healing take place. Healing is simplistic! Nature does not categorize disease, e.g. Diabetes Type 1, Type 2. Nature heals what needs to be healed!

I was looking at your recipes for infant milk. I am breastfeeding but need to wean. I was interested in giving him rice milk (Rice Dream enriched with vit A, C, and other vitamins). However, the website says not for use as infant formula. Why would this not be a good substitute? What would this be lacking? Why is your recipe a complete formula for proper infant nutrition? Please Help a concerned new mom!

Rice Dream is fortified with SYNTHETIC nutrients (vitamins and minerals) and therefore it's not a good source of organic nutrition. If you use Rice Dream, please fortify it with organic nutrition like Dherbs.com Moringa Seed Extract and Iodine Phosphate Extract (add 5 dropperfuls of each formula to infant milk).

Have you ever seen any herb treatments used in an inhaler?

No, but there are some herbs that could make for great ingredients in an inhaler depending on what desired effect you're after. However, I think essential oils are better for purposes of inhalers.

I am currently taking the Mucus Formula (2x a day), the Sinus formula (2x a day). I have heard/read that Elderberry extract is good for all the sinus, mucus, and immune problems. Please advise!

Yes, it is; but not better than the products you mentioned and are taking!

I heard that an herb called Cassava Root increases your chances of becoming pregnant with twins. I can't seem to find it. Is this a true statement?

We have never heard of this statement before, Beloved!

I have had 15 years of highly inflamed infection, filled reacquiring cyst in the "private" area. Most of the time two or three at a time, and one that seems to never leave drains constantly.

1. Perform Full Body Cleanse followed by 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen. 2. Change your diet (consider going 80% raw), drink plenty of vegetable juice! 3. Apply Face and Body Oil or Oxy-Oil to the inflamed area. Read the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder" on our site in the "Articles" category.

I came across your website today and read some of the things about your products. I am curious about trying out some of your herbal products that would benefit me, mentally, physically and spiritually. I have been checking out numerous of different websites reading, and comparing information about what they can offer, or able to help others. Honestly, I don't know who is telling the truth about their product. Last year, I purchased this Miracle Mineral Solution online that a friend of mine referred me to. He told me that MMS cures over hundreds of different diseases. The product was ineffective, and I didn't see any results from it. I'm starting to believe that a lot of companies who are promoting this "cure" on the web is a hoax. I want to know how is it possible that FDA allow websites like yours, and others who are promoting "cure" for diseases in the US? I'm sure there is a cure for all diseases. If I decide to buy your product(s) and it doesn't work, is it guarantee that I can get a full refund?

Skepticism only leads to being more skeptical. Healing too, like religion, requires faith (that one can and will heal). In re my website, I promise no cures as only God and the human body (of the individual) can cure. I can only assist in helping one to heal. Healing is wholistic, and involves the mind-body-spirit and the most important aspect of healing is the mental aspect for all disease begins in the mind just as all healing does. The FDA cannot interfere with natural healing as long as individuals do not use misleading terms and phrases, e.g. curing disease, treating disease, diagnosing disease, etc. I offer no refunds because of knowing how many people's feeble mind prevents them from healing coupled by them not doing everything that is required to heal and who if they decide to quit won't hesitate asking for a refund and then I end up the loser in the end because of someone with a loser (and quitter) mentality.

I want to use Activated Charcoal while I am nursing. Can I use it everyday? How often can I use it? Will it affect my wild yam birth control pills?

You don't need to use Activated Charcoal everyday. Just 2-3 days per week, and "no" it will not affect your Wild Yam (birth control). Article: Benefits Of Carbon A/K/A Activated Charcoal

I just purchased the Pancreas Kit for children for my 4 year old who was diagnosed with type one diabetes. I have been feeding her a raw diet of just vegetables. The diet includes no dairy, no grains, and fruit for a week. I also started the Pancreas kit last week too. I was wondering if there is any reason why her blood sugar levels would go up? All she is eating is veggies, and her sugar levels are at 300 most of the time. Even if she doesn't eat anything, it still goes up to 300. I also know it says you cannot tell us not to give, or not to give her insulin, or not. I am still currently giving it to her. Does the pancreas kit work just as well if the are receiving insulin or not? Or does it hinder the process? I would really appreciate other advise you would offer. Thanks so much!

Drugs and herbs don't mix! They cancel each other out. The blood sugar will go up and down due to the body attempting to regulate, and normalize the blood sugar levels. Perfectly normal! It's called "healing crisis. Whatever you guys choose to do, simply keep monitoring the person. Ask the person how he/she feels (very important). Article: Healing Crisis

What is your recommendation for neurally mediated cardiogenic syncope, or hypotension neurally postural tachycardia syndrome? My step daughter was diagnosed with this as a small child, now she's 16. She gets extremely light headed in the shower, gets sick to her stomach, and will pass out. Doctor recommends plenty of water and, hold on here 'salty foods'. You and I both know at least we'll go for the celtic sea salt. Right?

Regardless of the pathology, always DETOX, DETOX, DETOX [Full Body Cleanse] the person, and modify the diet to a chiefly vegan-vegetarian diet with high amounts of raw foods. Yes, drink plenty of water and ALWAYS consume sea salt over regular table salt!
