Back in November 2007 I ate fish (grouper) at a restaurant and later that day I broke out in hives. I've never been allergic to fish before and I've never had hives before. Since that day I've had the hives (7 months), they come and go only because I have been controlling them somewhat now with "Xyzal" (antihistamine). I was given two separate rounds of prednisone (steroid) and I took weeks worth of Benadryl. With the steroid I gained 10 lbs. Nothing helped until I started taking Xyzal. My question is I don't want to keep taking the antihistamine for the rest of my life to keep them away. I don't know what it was in the fish or maybe it just was a coincidence that it happened that very same day but I would like to know if there is anything you would suggest to help?

You need to cleanse. Take a look at our Full Body Cleanse. You're body is telling you to cleanse.

I want to know if you have a product for scleroderma. It is a skin discoloration disease. The symptoms are your skin darkening, hair loss, and arthritis in hands. If you have any products, do you have liquid or small pills? My friend has problems swallowing large pills.

When there's a problem with the skin, it's time to cleanse the blood. I would suggest you look into our Full Body Cleanse and consider a permanent dietary change after detoxing. Our pills are pretty small in size, beloved. Thank you for your interest!

My doctor told me I am an anemic, and I had a slight bladder infection. Is there anything that I can take naturally to help relieve these symptoms? I am nine weeks pregnant.

Of course there are. I would recommend that you take our Iron Phosphate formula and Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenals and/or Kidneys Extract.

Is it normal for the urine first morning to be dark yellow or is there something else wrong? This is my 19th day of the Full Body Cleanse.

Yes!!! The morning's urine is dumping from the over-night and sleep's healing process. It's normal for the urine to be yellow first thing in the morning and then return to clear.

I have a friend who has fluid on the brain and has to receive spinal taps every 2 months for over a year now. She has also gained about 40lbs with the illness and meds they have her on. Do you have any herb suggestions that may help her with her illness?

Without a doubt put this friend on the Full Body Cleanse cleanse and periodically so (every 3-4 month) and to consider a permanent dietary change also.

While doing the Full Body Cleanse should I take my birth control pills?

The Activated Charcoal is a major part of the detox program, that helps pull out heavy metal toxins, chemicals and drugs from the body. Most birth controls are recognized by the body as chemicals and can be pulled from your system.

Before purchasing this product, I'd like to know if there are any adverse effects once you stop taking it? Of course I'd like to maintain the length and girth that you advertise, but I don't want to be on maintenance medication, especially since I plan to have a very long sex life. Will your product assist me to naturally perform at peak level, once taking it for a period, and then weaning myself off of it?

This depends on you sir; if you will be able to perform at peak performance once stop taking the capsules! However, in regards to adverse side effects, there are none with herbs, only drugs. Now when you stop taking the herbs, I can't tell you what the results will be because I don't know your diet. The best way to know is to do a thing!

I am a runner. I tend to cramp up at or about 22 or 23-mile mark. What can I take to prevent this from happening?

Try MSM Sulfur, Joint Aid formula, Potassium Phosphate, and Electric Greens Combo. However, your body is talking to you and telling you of the damage you're doing by running 22-23 miles which is not natural.

Is it possible to heal a gallbladder that has an ejection fraction of only 7%? Is surgery the only option?

Of course you can heal! Every problem has a natural solution! Read our article on "Surgery". Great information and explains the dangers of surgery.

I am currently on prescribed heart-related medications (Coumadin, Spironalactone, Coreg, Prinivil) due to heart surgery I had on 1990 (double bypass and aortic heart valve replacement). In your opinion is it okay/safe to do the Full Body Cleanse while on prescribed medication? I am about 50 lbs. Overweight and would like to cleanse my system in addition to losing some weight.

I honestly do not recommend that a person take both drugs (posion) and herbs simultaneously. Herbs are cleansing and will cleanse the body of poisons and drugs are poison. Drugs will never heal human beings. The bible tells us God caused the herbs to grow for the service of man (Psalm 104:14) and to serve as "medicine" (Ezekiel 47:12), and to serve as healing for the nations (Revelation 22:2). But today we are following man and wonder why we don't heal. We must return to God's nature. The drugs could be making you gain weight. Please read "Can I Take Medication With My Herbs?".

I am 37 years old 5'5" tall and I weigh 244 pounds. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression and thalassemia minor. I see so many cleanser: The Full Body Cleanse, Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen, The Female Cleanse, and the Dherbs 10 Day Colon Cleanser. I don't know where to start. I just feel so bad all the time and I take vitamins. I want to get off the three medications I take (My doctor wants to put me on more.) and start a healthier lifestyle. Please help me!

You start a healthier life by first detoxing your body, so start with the Full Body Cleanse. After the Full Body Cleanse, perform the Dherbs 10 Day Colon Cleanser. After cleansing, begin to eat healthier. Eat a lot of raw foods - living foods!!! This is best for you. Other good formulas to take on a daily basis include Brain Booster, Nerve Formula, and the Happy Inhaler. Do the above starters and stay in touch with Dherbs and you will get what you desire! And read the articles on our website too!

I just had a child 5 months ago... Every now and then this really sad or hopeless feeling comes over me and I just want to cry for no reason. Even before I got pregnant I would get these feelings, I don't understand why because I'm pretty happy for the most part. Do you know what I can do to help me with this? Also, I have a swollen Lymphoid on my neck. It has been there for about 4 or 5yrs now. Do you have anything that would take the swelling out? I checked with a massage therapist and they wanted a statement from the doctor first but the last time I went to the doctor she said something about a biopsy so I didn't go back.

Sounds like post-natal depression due to mineral deficiency. For the situation and the lymph noid problem I would recommend performing the Full Body Cleanse and changing your diet, eating raw and vegan foods. Fruits come from a word that means "joy" and vegetables from a word that means "growth" so for more joy and growth in your life, eat more fruits and vegetables. Our elation inspirant may also be of great use for you.

Recently I had a problem with feeling unfresh with my vagina and felt like I might have a yeast infection so my boyfriend and I ordered your Candida Buster. We both have started to feel better but his penis is sore and we don't know if he should continue to use it or if we should avoid sexual contact? And also how long are we to take this?

A sore penis means it's time for a break from sex so healing can take place.

I was cleaning my place yesterday and shortly after, I noticed small itchy red bumps all over my body mainly arms, shoulders, back. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that it might be dust mites (I have a long-haired cat that sheds a lot). What can I do to treat the bumps (I don't want any scaring)? Is there an alternative to soaking in a tub (I'm renting a condo and I don't feel that soaking in someone else's tub is sanitary)? Also, how can I prevent them?

By all means - detoxify your body! Perform the Full Body Cleanse and use a good salve or oil (i.e. Oxy-Oil) externally. And "no" you don't have to perform the soak. You prevent dust mites by good home cleaning (almost daily), using certain products (visit gaia.com for products), and air filtering (preferably ozone).

I have rheumatoid arthritis and was just diagnosed with fibrocystic breast, which is very painful. What herbal product should I use?

For starters, I would recommend Full Body Cleanse followed by a daily maintenance regimen of Joint Aid formula, MSM Sulfur, and Alkaline Formula. For optimal healing and well being of your breasts, I would recommend our Female Breast Oil and Female Breast Formula. You can heal, beloved! Just focus on healing and not disease.

I suffer with mucus, phlegm, and severe pain in the hips, forearms and calves. About a month ago, I purchase the mucus and phlegm herbal products and have not noticed any results. How long do I continue to take these herbal? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for your advice!

I highly recommend you first perform the Full Body Cleanse to help break up hardened mucus in your body. It's always ideal to detoxify first and use the 2-3 formulas you're using as maintenance formulas.

I had tonsillitis as a child. The last time I had it at the age of 12 my right tonsil remained somewhat swollen. It developed crypts but has not otherwise bothered me until recently. I am now 28 and about a month ago both my tonsils swelled up completely, so much so that I could barely swallow. I took Penicillin for about 8 days, which seemed to bring down the swelling. About a week later it returned. I took Amoxicillin for 14 days with the same results. I have taken a strep test and mono test, which have come back negative. I am at a loss, my tonsils are currently quite swollen but do not inhibit me from eating or drinking or swallowing right now. I am concerned about a flare up however, and would like to know what is causing this condition. Could you recommend something to help me with this problem? Also I was wondering about possibly a tonsillectomy, what are your thoughts on this procedure?

Swollen tonsils means your spleen is backed up due to toxicity. Your body is telling you to detox!!! All you need to do is perform a good cleanse. You do not need your tonsils removed. Have you ever thought about why God gave you tonsils in the first place? Why remove what God gave you? Your diet and lifestyle caused this problem. Perform the Full Body Cleanse and change your diet and you will begin to heal.
