I read your article on uterine fibroids. It was very helpful, however, do you have any other information regarding how I can get rid of the fibroids even faster? My doctor is pushing for me to have a hysterectomy ASAP. I am currently taking the fibroid formula and have eliminated dairy and meat products. My doctor says my fibroids have taken over my uterus and is pushing on my bladder, which causes me to urinate constantly. I have high regards for your recommendations. Could you please add any other suggestions of what else I can do to help eliminate the fibroids as rapidly as possible?

I am hearing a loud cricket like song in my ears what can I use to stop it, my doctor told me there is no cure. Someone told me to use warm garlic oil. It drives me crazy at nights and all day I can hear it. Hoping to hear from you soon!

Sounds like an acute or heightened form of tinnitus. Try getting your ears coned a couple of times. Ear candling is very helpful in ear disorders.

I have suffered from depression and antidepressants were not helpful. However, I have tried your Nerve Formula and it is Wonderful! Are there any other capsule formula that you offer for depression? Is it OK if I take the herbal formula on a regular basis? I have heard of Chakra's and I was wondering which do you think would be appropriate?

I just returned from Ghana. I waived to get the yellow fever vaccination and chose not to take the malaria prevention pills. Although I feel fine, I am looking for supplements to cleanse my system of viruses and bacteria. I have a limited income, as I am a college student, therefore I am looking for a sufficient herbal supplement at an affordable price!

We would suggest the Anti-V Formula to help cleanse your system of impurities, bacteria, viruses, and infections that can harm your body.

I was reading about a famous black author who died of brain cancer and I wanted to know what does it mean on a metaphysical level? Cancer of the brain, breast, colon, mouth. What does this signify other than extreme toxicity? What does poor circulation mean metaphysically speaking? Do you think there is a link between hair dyes, hair relaxers (burners) and brain cancer and lupus among black females. This is "off the cuff" but I hate seeing black females with straightened hair and hair coloring. I really hate it. I hate long claws (fake fingernails).

Metaphysically, cancer denotes a feeling being eaten up (on the inside) by some emotion or emotions, always negative emotions. Mouth cancer - the person refused to speak out their hurt, anger, pain, etc. Breast cancer - the female failed to get things off of her chest or neglected caring for herself (nurturing herself, her wounds and pains, etc.). Colon cancer - the person couldn't stomach things but failed to release what was emotionally eating away at them. Metaphysically speaking, poor circulation means your "life flow" is stagnant due to the burdens of life "weighing you down." Most people with poor circulation have weight issues. In addition they may be "poor" and their cash flow does not "circulate" the way they'd would like and so worries about bills and other financial responsibility makes them eat away their worries whereby they gain weight and hamper their bodily circulation. And yes, chemicals in hair products (dyes, conditioners, relaxers) are playing a role in certain cancers of the head (i.e. brain cancer).

I'm interested in a water purification system and there are two advertised in the American free press. One is the blue print water unit and the other crystal clear. Can you comment on either system and or what to look for in a water system?

What you want to look for in a water purification system is the type of filter it contains. The best filter material is CARBON, COPPER, and QUARTZ (crystal). All three are good at the filtering process. The filter should either be an osmosis unit or an ionization unit.

I purchased the Detox kit and planned on starting it Feb 1st, but I learned that I will need to have my wisdom teeth extracted in Feb. They will be putting me under for the procedure and probably prescribe pain medication after, my question is,"Shall I wait to start the Detox till after the procedure & medication or is it OK if I am on the Detox and given anesthesia and pain medication?? Will this defeat the purpose of the Detox?

For best results, you should wait until after the dental procedure to start the cleanse. Please read "How To Detox Chemicals After You Go To The Dentist".
