I am going through menopause and my face is getting dark from the menopause. What herbs should I take for that specific problem?

Herbs are not a single solution. Other measures must be taken. Detox the body! Soak in sea salt with every bath you take. Steam your face every day or as much as possible. Start here for beginners! Great herbal formulas from Dherbs include BLOOD & LYMPHATIC and ELECTRIC GREENS CELL FOOD Formula.

Would Zyrtec, an antihistamine for sinus allergy, negate the effects of the Moon Cycle Formula?

NO! The drugs would just pollute the body via the blood and major organs!

What are your diet and supplement recommendations for a baby that has Candida - 17 months old? She can only eat meat/eggs/low carb vegetables (no sugar, starch, fruit, corn or potato). Please advise. I bought your Children's detox and elixir products. I haven't given them to her. The mom did have Candida when she was pregnant with the child.

By all means, start giving the baby the herbs!

My new daughter-in-law suffers from painful periods and now has found out she has fibroid tumors. What herbs will be good for her to take, she is 25 yrs old?

A friend of mine has a 3 year old cousin who has a brain tumor. The doctors said that there is nothing they can do. What formulas that you carry you think can help with his condition?

First, the child's diet must change: no meat, dairy, eggs, processed foods, etc. Have the child perform the Children's Cleanse every other month. He would also benefit from taking the Electric Greens Combo, it only comes in pill form but you can open up the capsules and mix the herb mixture in their food or drink.

I did a Full Body Cleanse, 10 months ago and was feeling wonderful. About 3 months ago I started breaking out REALLY bad. I have tried many things in trying to stop, but there seems to be no cure or end in sight. 1 month ago I went back on the pill, because I know that it will help. On day 17 I began spotting, I started the 2nd month directly after (doctors suggestion) it is day 6 in the new pack and I am still spotting. On day 4 I passed a large blood clot. I am very concerned about my body and I eat extremely healthy I am just very frustrated about my skin issues. Any thoughts?

The birth control pills have caused you to clot. BC pills cause clotting and eventually cancer. Personally, I'd deal with the skin issue. It isn't worth dying over. Face problems convey the message that it's time for you to FACE something you've been avoiding in your life. Physically it means your blood is polluted and needs to be cleansed. Sounds like you need to detox again. While detoxing, perform facial steaming of your face. 2-3 days out of the week clay your face (with Bentonite Clay). Use Oz-Oil on your face after you steam and clay it. Healthy eating is compromised when you consume toxic matter such as pharmaceutical drugs.

I have recently purchased Oz oil. I enjoy it very much. I was wondering if the oil will help with sun damage and collagen loss? Also if you may have any other suggestions for such issues.

It sure will! Continue to use it over time. Also take the HAIR-SKIN-NAILS formula to help with the collagen loss.

My father had prostate surgery and I got the Male Health Tea. Do you think that his body will heal and he will get better even though the doctors messed him up with that surgery and he cleanse all the time and eat fruits and vegetables?

I say have him perform The Male Cleanse (TMC). You say the surgery messed him up ... how? His daily regimen (after the TMC) should consist of (1) Prostate Formula (3 capsules daily), Male Hormonal Formula (3 capsules daily), and Male Health Tea (2 cups daily).

For the pass few days I have notice that when I bend my right arm at the elbow there feels like a slight feeling of displacement, if that's what I could call it (it's not bending smoothly like the left arm) there is no pain, I was just wondering what it could be. I don't recall hitting my elbow against anything. I'm 51 a vegan, and I take at least 1000mg of calcium a day. Any recommendations on what this might be would be appreciated.

Sounds like your body is talking to you. Joint problems usually convey the message that you are too rigid in some area of your life and need to bend and become pliant or loose or yielding (Taoism). Think about this and make the connection for only you know about your life and how you are. Remember: pain is a sensor! It conveys a message!

I have listened and been blessed with your wisdom many times while you've been on L.I.B. Radio. Thank you for all you do for so many! I am writing on behalf of my father. He is 80 years old and before now, he was EXTREMELY active (bowling, golfing, exercising, etc.). In early December he started suffering with severe leg pains. During his stay in the hospital, they finally found he had three bulging disks in his back that were referring this relentless pain to his leg. They gave him so many painkillers that the meds burned his esophagus and he was throwing up that dried blood. He stopped taking those meds and is in constant pain. He has been home from the hospital for about 6 weeks now. The steroids they have him on are supposed to bring down the inflammation, but they haven't. He saw an acupuncturist, but those treatments haven't helped. He has not slept more than two or so hours at night in all these weeks, as the pain is that unbearable. I am not sure what other info you might need, but any guidance you could offer would be so very appreciated. I thank you for your time and your help. I wish such blessings and peace to you and yours! Thank you for your kind words.

In re your father, painkillers are not the way because they only mask the symptom (pain). First, get your father a magnetic bed pad for him to sleep on. Do a Goggle search on the Internet to locate a magnet distributor. He needs to sleep on a magnet pad nightly. A magnetic back brace also wouldn't hurt. He could wear it daily during daylight hours. Order the Headache and Pain tea and give the tea 2-3 times per day. Also order the carbon (activated charcoal) and give him this each night (to help remove the pain killer residue that is eating up his nerves). If he can bathe still, put him in hot water with 2-3 boxes of sea salt each bath and let him soak for about 30-45 minutes. Perform the above for starters and keep us abreast.

What can I use to help with skin blemishes?

Skin problems are blood problems. Clean your blood periodically. Detox 3-4 times a year. Also, Oz-oil is very helpful for skin blemishes. Change your diet (eat more fruits and veggies). Please read "Why We Should Eat Only Raw Foods".

Do you carry or do you know where I can purchase the product "VIENTO" by Dr Sebi? I have been trying to contact him through his website and phone number but to no avail. Do you have anything to the equivalent?

I don't carry "Viento" but I have a similar product and at a more economical price. Viento is $50. I suggest Dherbs "Rainforest Tonic" which only costs $19.95

Do you have any herbs for men's hair loss? Something that prevents hair loss and promotes hair growth?

Try HAIR-SKIN-NAILS, MSM Sulfur, and Male Hormonal Formula.

I have a cyst on my shoulder and I'd like to know if you can help me to make it go away. I've had it there for some 15 years and supposedly it's just fat. Please let me know what you think.

Start detoxing with the Full Body Cleanse every 3-4 months. Place a magnet via adhesive on the cyst and wear throughout the day for numerous days. Get a loofah brush and scrub the cyst while showering and/or bathing! Do this for starters!

What can cerasee be used for as I have lots of it growing in my yard, which gets cleared out whenever the yard is cleaned? As children we drank a lot of it, however, several years ago I was told that if you drink it everyday it can cause the blood to thin.

Cerasee is a great blood and lymph cleanser. It's great for the reproductive chamber too, to cleanse and rebuild it.

Do you have any herbs for baby reflux? My daughter gives her baby boy soy milk. I told her soy milk makes mucus among other reasons. What other alternative for soy milk other than breast milk?

Make a tea using anise seed and/or caraway seed, sweeten it with maple syrup, and add a little lemon and put in a baby bottle and give to the baby. However, remove the acid foods. Tell her to use hemp, almond, or rice milk. They are far better than soy milk.

I am currently on the Full Body Cleanse. It's my 4th or 5th time & I love the results each time. My question is: I was told that it is okay to eat black beans while on the Full Body Cleanse, but only black beans. Although I love black beans, & would love to be able to eat them while detoxing, I wouldn't want to interfere with the detox or defeat the purpose. I look forward to you response. It sounds too good to be true...but if it is, why only black beans?

You are misinformed on the black beans or any beans for that matter, Beloved. Beans should be avoided during the Full Body Cleanse unless eaten SPROUTED. Sprouted beans are the only exception because they are not cooked!
