I would like to know if it's OK to take a Multi-vitamin pill? I am only asking because it has iron in it. I have heard it's not good to take iron, because your body already has iron. Can I take a Multi-vitamin pill without iron, or just take a small dosage, or one pill of a Multi-vitamin supplement with iron?

I'd recommend to stay away from iron supplements on the market. Only take organic iron supplements (herbal-based) e.g. Dherbs.com Iron Phosphate formula. Our Electric Greens Combo would supply both minerals and iron.

I had a question about jaggery, a natural sweetener. Do you know much about it? There is a company producing it in Kenya, because maple syrup is not available in Kenya. I do eat dates, but sometimes they are not available. Do you think this product is a good alternative?

Greetings! If a thing is from a natural source (i.e. plant or fruit) we say GO FOR IT!!!!! Give it a try, Beloved! Read "What is: Raw Foods?", "The Best Sweeteners To Have On The Keto Diet".

Is it safe to take "alfalfa and devil claw" without the gel-capsules? For instance, pour it's contents into water, or a soft drink?

Both alfalfa and devil claw are plants that are commonly used for health treatments. As long as the supplements are natural you should be able to empty the contents into freshly squeezed juices, smoothies and herbal teas. Most gel capsules are simply just to mask the taste of the contents. Read "How To Take Herbs".

I heard about your website on the Warren Valentine show on radio. I've just broken out with blisters on my third and fourth toe on my left foot, and my left foot is full of fever and resembles redness in color, plus my foot is swollen. A doctor told me that I am a borderline diabetic, however, my family history doesn't support that argument. I am in need of some serious help. I am having trouble putting weight on my left foot. Could you all help stir me in direction for some relief for my left foot?

Please follow the advice in the Toe Nail Fungus article, soak the feet as the article advises. Your body is asking to be detoxed. Skin problems point to blood problems. Read the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder as well, Beloved! I recommend the Full Body Cleanse, and Foot Oil.

I have read that drinking teas with the herb senna can cause the loss of electrolytes and may contribute to heart failure. Is this true?

Not true! Only true of man-made drugs and other products! Herbs have intelligence. Read "Herbs vs. Pharmaceutical Drugs", "Are Herbs Safe To Take?".

Has your ministry done any extensive research on glutathione? I've been reading a lot about it, and the one place that sells it in liquid form is quite expensive, $75 for 4 oz. So I was wondering if it might be available on your website in the near future.

We only deal with herbs here!

My daughter (who is 2 yrs old) has had fevers which went up to 101-104. She has had 3 febrile seizures due to the fevers. Her doctor explained to me that it is not actually how high her temp is, but how quickly it went up that sent her into the seizure. So, what do I do in that case? I don't want the fever to go up so quickly that she begins to seize, and I obviously can't wait until it goes up to 104 for fear of her having a seizure. What do you suggest? I do have the ginger extract from you. Thank goodness she has not had any fevers at all recently. I pray that she has grown out of it but, just in case....what do you suggest?

Keep the child cool (cool bath, cold towel on head, etc.)! But more importantly, have the child to cleanse periodically with the Children's Full Body Cleanse. Fever's occur when one is toxic. Fever causes sweat of toxins via the skin. "Why Children Should Detox".

I was wondering if you were familiar with the Rhogam shot. It is basically a blood product shot that is taken when pregnant women are tested to have RH- blood, this would be blood types such as O- and A-..etc. It is said that if you are pregnant by a man who is considered RH+ that the child can have serious issues, or you can have a miscarriage if you don't take the shot. Many women have had miscarriages by not taking the shot. Rhogam is a blood product which can be very dangerous. What are your thoughts on this? I have actually had the shot with my son because of my blood type (so called). He is fine but I want more children and would not want to take this this shot any more.

The product being poisonous speaks for itself. Poison doesn't belong in the human body.

My mom got bitten by dogs approximately 3 or 4 years ago. Now she is experiencing cramps in her legs, neither can she stand or walk for very long. What should she do?

Have her perform the Full Body Cleanse. Completing the detox will rid the body of toxins and waste Beloved!

Is Magnesium Sterate used in 90% of supplements? A carcinogen?

Not really a carcinogen. Just a toxin and animal byproduct!

Can our subconscious mind effect our sense of taste?

Yes, the subconscious mind can effect all areas of our life, including our sense of taste. I do believe there are ways to reprogram our subconscious mind. It involves a combination of affirmations, prayer, repetition, understanding past events and more.

What herbs do you recommend that I use to regulate my troponin levels back down to their normal state? Pericarditis and Myocarditis are my diagnosis.

I read your article on "AIDS/HIV". You stated Aids is a hoax and was created to promote Azt. If so what are people experiencing when they speak of symptoms pertaining to AIDS? What makes people test positive for H.I.V? I look forward to an answer. My brother, Thank you!

The symptoms are from a weakened immune system, from pharmaceutical drug consumption. Symptoms are associations from other problems, and other problems are caused by other things: poor diet, insalubrious lifestyle, etc.

My son is 2yrs old with Downs syndrome and also has various health defects one of them being VSD a heart defect. Although I've read that many children with Down's Syndrome have a delay. I don't see it in my son mentally, but physically he does have a delay. Unlike my son my 10yr daughter began walking at 10 months. What can I do to help progress physically aside from physical therapy in which he receives?

Honestly, I wouldn't put too much energy on it. It will only make matters worse. Just make sure the child gets much needed nutrition (vitamins and minerals, e.g. Dherbs.com Kememtian Gold).

Are Healing tones, specifically those on a CD by Dr. Horowitz, effective in fighting viruses and harmonizing the body? Do you offer or suggest this type of therapy, also called Solfeggio tones?

Healing tones is very beneficial for healing. Check out CDs by Steven Halpern and Jonathan Goldman.

I wanted to let you know that I have been taking your prenatal vitamins, and they work great! I am expecting in December, and I am still nursing my one year old. Without the herbs I would not have the energy. Also, my husband's brother used your detox and also loved it. I do, however, have a question for you. I was reading your article on Candida Yeast Infections and came across something very interesting, intertrigo. I believe this is what my daughter has in the folds of her arms. You told me to use shea butter some time back, and it works but the problem has never gone away completely. I believe the problem is internal. I believe we all, my husband, daughter and myself have some form of this yeast problem. I'm taking her to the pediatrician tomorrow, but you and I both know how that's going to end up. Any suggestions?

Greetings Beloved! Wow! That's great to hear! Always glad to hear how people benefit from Nature's herbs. And yes, the problem is always internal as I explain in the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder" which is why you should also concentrate on the child's internal makeup, i.e. Liquid extracts, i.e. Vitamin C, Blood Extract, Goldenseal-Echnicaea.

On Tuesday my husband and I welcomed our second daughter into the world. We had a natural birth with a midwife, and it was the best experience ever! So, you know I have a question for you. My midwife, and pediatrician are worried and perplexed because my daughter who was born on Tuesday has not had a bowel movement yet. She has not passed any meconium at all, and from what I've read newborns are supposed to pass this within 24 hours after birth. I was full term at 40 weeks at the time of delivery. The baby had a full ultrasound today, and I am waiting to hear the results. We are keeping a positive outlook, but you know I had to get your take on the situation because I trust your judgement and advice. I've also sent you a few photos of my family and our new baby girl. Take care and the best to you and your family!

Greetings! Wow! Adorable, precious little baby. Kudos to you and the family! Beloved, trust in Nature. Every body, and every baby is different. The baby will release when he/she is ready to release. My recent son didn't release until 2-3 days later. However, he eventually released. Babies are not on our worldly time schedule. We shouldn't hold them to our worldly expectations, because then we start to think something is wrong (with them), and start worrying which is unhealthy. Just show the love! That's it! Nature got this!!! I have a new e-book "The Complete Home-Birth Guidebook" you will find of great assistance with your post-natal process and period. Great information for you in it! Peace and love!

I have a question concerning low white cell blood count in a 13 year old male. My doctor diagnosed that my son's white blood count is 3 but that the so-called normal is from 4-11. I would like some information concerning this. Thank you for your help! I will await your answer.

Just nourish the child's blood with Vitamin C Extract and Iron Extract. Just build the child's blood (over a 3 month period) and then go back for another check-up.
