I am writing to get information on a remedy/cure for a type of parasite/worm that I believe I heard you mention on Inner Light Radio, where you described the symptom of the parasite/worm. You mentioned how your lips dry easily & that you may grind your teeth. I would like to get more information on what you mentioned and how to cure/remedy the symptom.

You don't isolate a parasite. Therefore, perform the Parasite and Worm cleanse and PURIFY the entire body of ALL parasites and worms that may be in your body. Think wholistically; not fragmentally. Go after all parasites and worms, Beloved!

I found this health article on the risk of getting cancer from working at night. I'm a night worker. have been for 16 yrs, and my sleeping and eating patterns haven't been the same since. The article mentions taking Melatonin... Is that safe and effective? Also do you have any herbal cures for us night timers to reverse the effects of working the graveyard shift? I can sure use them?

Cancer stems from a host of things, not just one thing like working at night. Disease results from negative thoughts/mindset, negative attitude, poor diet; insalubrious lifestyle, and insalubrious environment. You don't need to take melatonin. Your body (pineal gland) produces it. As a night worker, just make sure when you are sleeping in the day time your room is completely dark, just like how Dracula used to sleep in the darkness of his coffin during the daylight hours. This is why Dracula was a thousand years old but looked young. He slept during the day (which produces melatonin which is an anti-aging hormone) and he operated at night whereby he also produced melatonin. Dude never aged! You do the same, just don't suck on no necks to get blood though -- LOL!!!! And no! There are no herbs to reverse anything that comes from actions or behaviors that are unnatural. You reverse the effects of night-time work by doing the opposite. In your case, it's your job (which you don't want to quit unless you can find another one), so you just get some good sleep during the day in pitch darkness.

I was wondering if either the Ant-Viral formula or Immune Formulas would adversely affect beneficial flora and is it recommended to take probiotics while taking either of these formulas? Also, how would you rate the taste of the Anti-V Tea? Is it absolutely awful with those listed ingredients or is there any stevia added?

None of our products (nor anything natural) will adversely affect beneficial flora in the body. You do not have to take probiotics while taking any of our formulas. In re the taste of our teas, they are pretty well-tasting considering we use Stevia in all of our teas. Hey, try it yourself and see for yourself.

At 65 years old I want to lower my blood pressure and increase my sex drive. Please help me out here!

For High Blood Pressure and increased sex drive, FIRST, perform the Full Body Cleanse for 3-weeks. It will greatly help you! After your Full Body Cleanse, perform the The Male Cleanse for 3-weeks. After this, as a maintenance regimen, take 3 capsules of Circulation Aid, 3 capsules of Cardiovascular Formula, and 3 capsules of Jackrabbit formula and you will get your desire, especially when you remember to change your diet and lifestyle. A vegan (vegetarian) diet is best for you. But the choice is yours to make.

Can you take the ParaWrm Formula alone to cure cryptosporidium?

You sure can!!!!!! However, you're not curing cryptosporidium, you're eliminating it! There's a difference! Also may want to try our Parasite and Worm Kit.

My fiance has experienced water retention and discoloration in his right foot and leg for around 2 years. Doctors had him on water pills, Coreg for vascular issues and Glyberide for high blood sugars. He ordered the Pancreas kit and around a week into the program experienced more swelling in the foot and leg. He stopped the program to resume taking the water pill to see if this would help. He has gained around 12 lbs which is water held in this leg. I know the natural way of good nutrition and herbs is a good course to follow but can you offer some suggestions to help these issues. 1. water retention 2. His stomach rumbles and gurgles 24 hours a day to the point where I thought our neighbors were dragging furniture across the floor. This has caused him considerable embarrassment at work. We are eating a vegan diet about 50% raw-50%-cooked. Oddly enough when he eats a standard American diet the rumbling stops. 3. High blood pressure. Thank you so much for answering my previous letter to you! I believe in what you are doing, and know that the body will heal at it's own pace with proper care. I have resolved a urinary problem just a week into your Detox program and think it's great!

Your husband is NOT getting proper circulation to his extremities. He should have not stopped the Pancreas kit because it is common for things to get worse before better. He should have judged himself after the kit was finished in 3-weeks. He experienced the HEALING CRISIS and stopped! He should complete the kit and regimen (perhaps even starting over). His stomach is making noises because he's having digestive problems. He needs to eat as much raw foods as possible and rink plenty of vegetable juice. SAD foods stops his stomach from gurgling because that's what's in his stomach; and when he does not give his stomach what it wants (a sign of fasting and cleansing), he hear the noise from his stomach. Again, the healing crisis. Things will get worse before they get better. However, you don't stop! High blood pressure is due to his toxic state and poor circulation! Have him perform the Full Body Cleanse and right after the Full Body Cleanse, the Pancreas kit and regimen. There's healing from him! Please peruse some of our free articles so as to truly learn what's going on with his/your bodies pertaining to healing.

Thanks for your response. I forgot to mention that he stepped on a carpet nail, which created a small puncture wound on his right foot several weeks ago. His doctor has him on antibiotics. The wound continues to drain and is foul smelling. I want to mention this so you can get a clear picture of what is happening. However he had problems with water retention in this leg due to renal problems way before the injury. He feels the injury made it worse. Are there any specific juices or poultices which would speed healing? Thanks for all your help! I have been reading all your articles and information with interest.

Country Comfort makes a great healing salve. Or, make some Comfrey Root tea and let him soak his feet in the tea (while tea is warm).

I have read that Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary and Sage essential oils are all good for hair and stimulating hair growth. Would it be more beneficial to use them all at once for maximum result or should I just use the Rosemary and Sage only as you suggested? Also, I didn't see any Almond oil so I was wondering if I could use Olive oil or Jojoba oil as a carrier oil.

Yes they are great for stimulating hair growth; I would use them together or combined. We actually carry a shampoo and body bar soap that contains rosemary and one that contains peppermint. ANY natural edible oil can be used - it's YOUR choice. Jojoba and/or sesame seed oil are the best oils for the hair.

I wanted to know if I take the Eye formula do I need to have cataracts or eye problems? I'm starting to get blurry eyesight and wanted to get the Eye formula to help. I also wanted to know about the Jackrabbit formula. When these pills are taken do they need to be taken forever or is there a certain period? And everything is 3 times a day, right?

You do not have to have an eye problem to take our Eye Formula. It can be taken for maintenance of the eyes. You take 3 capsules a day (preferably all 3 together with a glass of water). Jackrabbit formula can also be taken as maintenance; and "no" you don't have to take it forever.

I currently take a multi-vitamin, and several anti-oxidants. Is it OK to add the Female Hormonal as well? I don't want to take too much!

Yes! It is okay to take the Female Hormonal.

What is the cheapest but the best natural remedy for stomach problems?

We recommend doing the Full Body Cleanse followed by the 10 Day Colon Cleanse. Healing works best when your body is in a healthier state. The colon cleanse is the best thing to help assist with stomach problems.

What organic shampoo and conditioner would you recommend using? Also, while cleansing, is Navy beans an acceptable food to eat if I want something cooked or does it cause mucus? Is it really a nutritional bean?

Take a look at our "Natural Hygiene and Beauty" section. We have natural shampoos, bar soaps and topical oils. You may eat navy beans (while off the cleanse) but they are mucus forming despite a few nutritional benefits.

My question is what's the best way to get sodium? I thought un-refined sea salt was the best, but the salt article says "eat this salt only if you must." The great thing about pure sea salt is that it all or almost all the minerals the body needs! So what's the best way to get all the mineral and to stay in balance? Also is there a way to get Epsom salt that is sodium sulfate not magnesium sulfate? Is it a good idea to bath in the "good" Epsom salt.

The best way to get sodium is via vegetables (i.e. celery). Sea salt is great source of sodium, but its a secondary source as it has to be processed from ocean water. You could bath in the good Epsom salt, but sea salt is far better and more natural.

My friend got cryptosporidium from drinking out of a creek... 5 years ago. He was in jail for a bit, and they didn't treat him for it. He has had it all this time. He had a stomach biopsy recently, and it showed nothing. He says he feels the parasites coming out his nose at night sometimes, and his rectum. So... I ask you again.. will this ParaWrm Formula eliminate it all together, and how long do you need to take it? Thanks so much for the speedy response!

We suggest to take the Full Body Cleanes followed by the Parasite Cleanse. Since he has had this parasite for a long time, we recommend a maitenace for the ParaWrm Formula and Colon & Digestive Tract.

I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. I'm in a long-term relationship and want to get pregnant someday soon. My doctor says this will lessen my chances. What herbs can help me to heal?

I would recommend that you perform the Full Body Cleanse followed by the Female Cleanse. Change your diet too! Change your thoughts! Think positive!

What causes heartburn?

Excess acid in the stomach that comes back up!

I wanted to know if you can give me a good website that sell shower filters....I need it because after a shower my skin itches bad.

Good shower filters are available from most good hardware stores.

Just received my Full Body Cleanse and had a few questions. 1. What is alkaline water? Is there a specific brand you recommend? 2. Is it necessary to take the detox capsules with food or juices (raw, of course)?

Please read our article on "Alkaline water" on our site under "Articles." I recommend you take the capsules after eating something solid (like raw fruit).

I finished taking the Full Body Cleanse and I am currently taking The Male Cleanse for my urethritis. My question is about your Anti V formula. How differently does this work from The Male Cleanse? Would I be able to take 5 pills every four hours? This STD seems like it doesn't want to go away. I'm feeling a lot better, but I still have inflammation in my lower region as well as itching in my penis. Also what would you suggest for something sweet to eat? I was so used to eating cookies and cakes, but I know with your products you advise no man made sugar. Thanks so much for your help!

The Male Cleanse and Anti V formula are totally different. One's a kit and the other is a separate formula. The Anti V formula is to help strenghten your immune system. The Male Cleanse is for male hormonal issues like prostate problems. Drink a lot of unsweetened Cranberry juice. This can help with STDs! Confrey Root tea is also good! Natural sweets include maple syrup, agave nectar, and stevia.
