I am required to take a TB test, or X-ray scan before starting work. What are the pros and cons of both approaches and possible solutions?

The X-ray will expose you to radiation, and I have no clue of what the TB test consists of.

I am a 33 year old who has been experiencing nocturnal emissions since I was a teenager. I do not masturbate, but every now and then I experience these emissions. During my light research, it was stated by the health and medical industry that nocturnal emissions are normal occurrence within males. I know there's so much more to know about this. Can you provide some insight as to what it is? Is it really natural? Is it possible for a person to have emissions, who is not sexually active? Can you please help me?

Please read our new article "Nocturnal Emissions" in the Articles section, Beloved!

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Vitamin C
