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 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!

I am just wondering if you've heard of European Body wraps for inches, fat and cellulite loss... Every ad says you can lose 6-28 inches in one wrap. I am not so sure how accurate that is...or how long the results last. I know it works by helping to release waste from the body... Can you tell me anything about it? Is it worth the money and time? Any downfalls to it?

I have heard many good things and results about this process. Be willing to take a chance and learn for yourself. That's how you grow! RISK! Take a shot! Give it a shot!

My wife has troubles when she takes gelatin capsules. Your detox is encapsulated. Is there a way we can get her detoxed?

Our capsules are NOT gelatin but I understand your sentiment. I would say order the Children's detox and the Detox tea and perform the Full Body Cleanse this way (though 2 bottles are missing from the bottled version of the FBC with the Children's version). But the tea will make up for this. Order: Children's Detox Detox tea Carbon. (activated charcoal) Take these products every day for 20 days. Extracts at four separate times, the tea once a day, and the carbon before bedtime! Ask The Herbalist I have one more question, I take Amla internally (tablets and loose ground powder) is it good for hair growth, also can I take it everyday along with other herbs. The most common herbs that I take every day is Chia seed, Black Seed, and Cayeene pepper mixed together, I sprinkle this combination on my foods, thank you. Amla helps for hair growth! You are taking good stuff!

You have 3 different male sexual enhancement Jackrabbit formula, Male Hormonal Formula, Prostate Formula. What are the differences between the 3? To be a little more specific, what will one do, that the other will not do? They all seem to do the same thing. Do you have the comparison chart? Another question I had is are there any good juicing fasts to recommend? If I had to only pick 5 fruits and 5 vegetables to snack on, which would you pick?

Jackrabbit formula is an aphrodisiac! Male Hormonal Formula is male reproductive nutrition. Prostate Formula feeds the prostate gland.

I usually drink distilled water but for the last month or so I've been drinking more sparkling water with lemon ["Blu' Italy"] ...is sparkling water good for you or no?

It's your choice! If it has carbonation in it, I wouldn't drink too much of it. Spring water is best on the market (unless you can find a brand of water that is alkaline and antioxidant). Drinking too much distilled water can leech vital nutrients from the body. Switch up between distilled and spring.

I am currently taking Fibroid Buster and I would like to know should I take the elixir for the second chakra or should I take another elixir? Please explain a little more about how I can complement the different herbs with the elixirs for the chakras. I am very new to the chakra system however I understand that if your chakras are blocked it manifests itself in your physical body. I also suffer from nasal polyps and allergies. Please give me a formula that will help me best in your opinion.

I recommend you take the 2nd Chakra elixir. The elixir helps YOU to open up your chakra. You have all the power, not the elixir. The elixir is just a tool. A closed chakra means many things and yes, it will result in some physical ailment in the area the chakra is located in. 2nd chakra ailments deal with emotions, sexuality, and relationships. Most women are damaged in one or more or all of these things which shuts down the chakra energy and eventually manifest in some kind of female reproductive area pathology like fibroid tumors. In all honesty, you would do well to detox your whole body ? BE WHOLISTIC, don't isolate! Detoxing helps to open up all the chakras of the body. Look into the Fibroid Buster kit as well.

Do you have any information and remedies for hemorrhoids? I am a Black African male in my 40's. I have changed my diet for the last 3 yrs., no meat, fish, cheese, milk, no dairy, no alcohol, no bread, greatly decreased sugar and salt. I exercise 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, drink at least 6 glasses of water a day and take lots of vitamin c and a multivitamin but I still have not been able to get rid of the hemorrhoids. Also the hemorrhoids only come out when I have a bowel movement. I have bowel movements twice a day. Also, I have been taking horse chestnut tincture. Is there anything that you know of that might help me to get rid of them? Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Truthfully, thank you very much!
