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!

In regards to Group B Strep, is there a high risk for the fetus to contract this bacteria during labor? Are there any herbs that could help alleviate this bacteria?

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.

I am getting close to my due date, and I've been buying as many natural and organic products I can. Do you suggest any I can use? How do you feel about hydrogenated castor oil?

We are not fans of hydrogenated castor oil. Please take time to read the following article: Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Detoxing

Do you have any herbs to re grow my knees? I cannot seem to find anything that really works. I've tried everything, and nothing works.

There is no plant that can cause the knees to grow.

I took your 20 day Full Body Cleanse and it caused my clitoris to shrink up. What can I do about that?

Never heard that happen before! By all means, drink Jackrabbit Tea (2 cups per day), take Bunny Rabbit Formula (3 capsules two times per day), and Circulation Aid (3 capsules once per day). See in your mind your clitoris the size you desire it to be!

I have a friend that's on life support. She has MRSA staph infection, and they are considering pulling the plug on her. I was wondering if Chelation therapy would be a life saver?

Everything worth's trying to save a life (if the person has the will to live, of course). Personally, if it were us, we'd go for it!

I write on behalf of a 30 year old female recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer (two nodules on each side of thyroid affecting voice box), Grave's disease & PCOS. Current treatment for the thyroid/grave's was Tapazole with little or no improvement so the only option now is a thyroidectomy. She is a vegetarian, but consumes dairy and is allergic to Iodine. Reading the side effects related to the thyroidectomy is disheartening so needless to say an alternative method of treatment is being sought. Can you provide some insight or a course of action that can be taken?

The diseases (and insight/solutions) are covered in detail in the following articles: Cancer: Causes and Remedies, Thyroid Gland, Iodine, Dangerous Dairy. I would recommend the person performs the Full Body Cleanse, followed by the 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen for starters. Her diet needs to become 100% raw foods/vegan! Very important! There is help for her in the alternative world of healing!

Do you know anything about stem cell replacement for hip joints? What do you recommend for this problem?

Unfortunately no! We only deal in natural medicine. We don't believe body parts need to be replaced. That's just doctor's way of making money through surgery. Try researching this subject matter on-line.
