I see that you offer activated charcoal. How would I utilize it rid my body of heavy metal toxicity?

Take half a teaspoon and stir in water and drink daily (best if done before bedtime).

I have a friend who suffers from Chron's disease (intestinal inflammation) and is interested in using an herbal laxative; mild but strong enough to loosen the mucoid plaque inside his colon without irritating his intestine. What do you recommend?

We recommend trying the Colon & Digestive Tract or Bowel Motion along with Intestinal Cleanser to get you back on track towards healing. These formulas will help cleanse toxins and waste from your digestive system, while helping your digestive system function at optimal levels.

This past May my sister started to have really bad asthma attacks and allergic relations to scents, dust etc, and a horrible cough. She was told by her doctor that she had asthma and was put on asthma medication, inhalers, etc. The symptoms got worse, she couldn't sleep because she was up all night coughing. The Claritin didn't work, etc. She had been complaining the past week of feeling bloated, her ankles being swollen, not being able to breath when she lay down, etc. She couldn't even walk from desk to desk at work. On the way home last week she went into the Emergency room and was admitted and stayed 4 days. We soon found out that she had congenital heart failure and only 25% of her heart is pumping properly. She couldn't breath because of the water build up on her lungs and heart. The doctors said that the build up of antibodies in her system showed that she had contracted EB virus some years ago and it permanently damaged her heart. She is limited to only 64 ounces of water a day, takes water pills, blood pressure pills, and is not allowed to eat foods high in sodium. My question is, is there any herbs or vitamins that can be used to help her heart? I do not want her to get a pace maker or have a heart transplant. The medications that she is on now make her so weak and drowsy. I know the doctors said the heart damage is permanent, but I just need to know is there anything else that would help naturally?

The heart failure is only permanent if you guys (especially your sister) BELIEVE so! What is believed is achieved! It's nothing but medical BS if you ask me! To CURE her heart condition, I would suggest she: 1. Perform the Full Body Cleanse (absent any pharmaceutical drugs, but it is your sister's choice to stay on them or get off of them) 2. While on the FBC, drink 2-4 cups of Hawthorn Berry tea 3. After the FBC, she needs to take Cardiovascular Formula (3 capsules 2 times daily), Circulation Aid formula (3 capsules once daily), and Bowel Motion (3 capsules before bed every night).

My doctor told me that I have a small cyst on my left ovary. He referred to it as complex and said that it has a substance in it and that he wants to further monitor within the next 6 weeks by giving me another ultra sound. He also told me that there was a clot in the lining of my uterus and something else there that he wanted to further monitor as well. I am scheduled to have another ultra sound in 6 weeks but in the meantime, it was suggested to me to detox. I have never detoxed before but I have read a lot on your website about different detox treatments. Can you suggest which detox I should do or what I should do about this situation?

This means you have six weeks to work on yourself. We suggest you begin with our Full Body Cleanse followed by The Female Cleanse. Order and drink 1-3 cups of the Female Health Tea during both cleanses. Drink plenty of vegetable juice too. Our Full Body Cleanse Companion EBook has plenty of vegetable juice recipes.

I have a friend who has been said to have cancer. First diagnosed in the breast, now in the lungs back and bones. I told her about the full body cleanse and the dietary regimen. I was wondering if this is something that you think would benefit her at this stage. If so what other things do you think she could look into?

The Full Body Cleanse is best! This cleanse can detoxify the body and help remove the toxicity that your friend's body is suffering from. She should drink 2-4 cups of the Full Body Cleanse Tea too to give her body an extra boost! After detoxing, I would have her take 5 capsules of Electric Greens every 2-3 hours every day in addition to drinking raw vegetable juice every day. This can further help eliminate toxicity in her body once she completes the cleanse. She should avoid eating any cooked foods, just raw foods! She should bathe daily in moderately hot water, sea salt and 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide. More tips and pointers can be found in the Full Body Detox Companion (available on-line).

My friend who recommended the full body cleanse said I should contact you. I'm getting very bad reactions to the charcoal powder. Both productive and dry heaves, stomach cramping (VERY painful) and diarrhea. Every 20 minutes I'm in the bathroom. Take powder at approx. 10pm and from midnight to approx. 4am this goes on. I'm physically drained and called in sick to work today (I almost never do this). Also important, this month is my 2 year anniversary of my last chemo treatment. I had stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma and underwent the ABVD cocktail over 8 months. I've only had a banana this morning and a piece of watermelon this afternoon - I don't really want to eat. What should I take to get my energy back?

Abstain from taking the charcoal for about a week and then reintroduce the Full Body Cleanse. To regain energy, your body needs more fuel. Eat some avocado, or raw nuts or seeds, or make a big salad to give your body the nutrients it needs to operate properly.

My wife and I have received the Full Body Cleanse and the anti viral kit. She is in the middle of a serious papilloma genital warts breakout. She also has genital herpes. As I have passed on to her both. Can she use the antiviral roll-on on the warts now? I am very skinny and the raw food diet will not be enough for me to work. Are whole unrefined grains OK? We make our own bread using non-wheat flours, is this OK? Where should I get my proteins if I am allergic to soy products?

Yes, she can use the anti-viral roll-on now! You can eat as you please. if raw foods won't work, try a vegan diet. do what you feel will work, even if that includes eating unrefined grains. Improvise to the best of your ability. Non-soy Protein sources include all SEAWEEDS, fenugreek seed, hemp seed, nuts, bee pollen, and Dherbs Vegan Protein (capsules, powder).

You gave me a remedy for a lot of things. But the one I need the most is something to control this high blood pressure. My doctors are at a stand still. They don't know what is causing it and they damn sure don't know how to treat it. I feel like a walking time bomb. Please recommend me something, I needed it last week! I want to order something now for the blood pressure. To give you an idea my last reading today was 191/125 that is better than last week reading.

Take 3 capsules of Cardiovascular Formula twice daily and drink one 4-ounce cup of celery and apple juice twice daily.

I am thinking about purchasing your Full Body Cleanse program, but I am concerned about one thing... too much weight lost. I am already thin and do not want to fade away as I think three weeks on nothing but raw fruits and veggies may leave me looking sick. What is your suggestion? Are there any foods high in protein I can eat while cleansing?

If you are concerned about getting enough food while maintaining a raw foods diet over a 20-day period, make sure you are consuming plenty of healthy fats to keep you full and satiated. Avocado, Coconut Cream or Oil, Raw Nuts, Raw Seeds, are great sources of nutrients and healthy fats that will keep you from losing weight. To get the protein you need, you can try making a smoothie with Vegan Protein Powder.

What can I eat or take as an herb to gain muscle mass, being that I'm an avid weight lifter? I've done the Full Body Cleanse and Anti-V Kit and I feel great! Now I need to put the mass back on.

We would suggest our Vegan Protein Powder in either capsule or powder form. We offer great alternative-meat, high protein sources (under Meat Alternatives) in our ALTERNATIVE DIET and LIFESTYLE MANUAL.

I know 2 people that have used the full body cleanse and the Anti V Kit and are now herpes free. I have recently purchased the Full Body Cleanse as well as the Anti V kit. I started the Full Body Cleanse 2 days ago and I am already starting to have a breakout. Actually it is only my second outbreak ever (I had my first 4 months ago). Is it normal to have an outbreak during the cleanse this quick? My next question, your food guide says that you can eat raw food only during the cleanse. Would it be unacceptable to eat sashimi while taking the kit?

Breakouts can be a form of cleansing! The body csn discharge via the skin because it's the largest channel of elimination. Keep up with the cleanse to achieve best results. Sashimi is not permitted in a raw foods diet, as it is fish. Read the article WHAT IS: RAW FOODS on our site under ARTICLES. Additional food recipes are listed in our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual and in our Recipes section.

I would really appreciate a little more info on the veins treatment offered on your site. I would like to know how effective the capsules are, whether or not they help to get rid of existing veins, prevent future ones, or both? I would also like to know how soon one would begin to see results and whether or not there are any supplementary things that should be used alongside the Veins Formula. Additionally, there is a natural vein formula by the name of Veranin. How does your product compare or differ from this product, if at all?

Dherbs Veins Formula is a great product to help nourish and strengthen the veins and the venous system. Also, Circulation Aid and Cardiovascular will GREATLY enhance the impact of our Veins Formula. The difference in our products is the quality of herbs that we use. There are no synthetic ingredients of any kind are are 100% natural.
