I am in dire need of some help. My cardio CRP came back high 6.2 last year. It was a 5.6, the highest it should be is 3.0. Now, they want to put me on drugs. This is something I don't believe in. I'm having very bad leg aches, and 10 years ago I contracted Hepatitis A. I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter. Can you can give me a recommendation?

You stated that are having issues with your cardio and liver (ie.,Hep A) functions along with some other things that are causing you to have pains in your legs. The issues that you are currently dealing with in your physical body can best be addressed by doing a Full Body Cleanse. I highly recommend this cleanse for people who are suffering from multiple sources of degeneration of the body. This is a complete cleanse for your body as a whole and will jump start you on a path to regaining your health. Let me also say, that pains in the body are signals that things are not well on a deeper level. And you must listen to your body and give it some relief from the things that you were doing to bring it to pain in the first place. Changes are necessary if your are to expect different results from your current situation. In addition to the Full Body Cleanse, I can also recommend our Headache And Pain Formula to help you deal with the pains you are having in your legs. You can find more detailed product information on the Dherbs.com website via Articles and Online Store. I hope these suggestions help you to make some good choices about what steps you can take to begin your journey of building your personal health! Articles: "Hepatitis", "Heart Problems".

It's different a different form of hypertension, so I'd recommend the Lungs & Respiratory formula.

What is your recommendation for a person who has to wear a colostomy bag?

Man, it's not much a person with a colostomy bag can do, considering their colon has been out. However, they should still nourish their colon as if the colon was still in tact. They should take Colon & Digestive Tract, drink vegetable juice, eat healthy, ect.

What is the metaphysical cause for dyslexia? Do you know if there's anything that can be done to help with this condition?

Metaphysically, people with dyslexia incarnate from a previously lived lifetime, whereby they read from right to left. This contradicts reading from left to right in the Western world and as such the person with the dyslexia is said to have a disorder.

What are your ideas for starting solids, and what to feed my baby until he is 1 year old and after that?

First, I recommend our upcoming manual "The Baby, Toddler, and Small Child Health Manual" But, generally you want to start a baby out on solids after all the baby's teeth come in. Feed a baby puree'd fruit and vegetables, but don't mix them together.

My husband has some bumps (like oil glands) underneath his skin. I am concerned they are cancerous (he had a pre-cancerous that was taken some yrs ago). He will get it checked soon. Is it possible he might have skin cancer? If we find out that he does (after his checkup) is there anything we can do besides the chemotherapy?

It's a possibility, but why think negative? There's no better felling than knowing a thing. But until he finds out, Don't worry! In the meantime he can perform the Full Body Cleanse, the Electric Greens Combo Cleanse, and the 10 Day Supreme Blood Cleanse. In addition to changing his diet and lifestyle.

I just finished watching this Youtube video on mass control, fluoridation, and mercury poisoning. I wondered if there were any herbs or natural remedies that can counteract this? I am in my mid 30s and feel as though I am going through Alzheimer's (growing forgetfulness, absent-mindedness, foggy thinking, ADHD, hypersensitivity to noises so as to find it almost impossible to concentrate). I have my "Back to Eden" Book, I will continue digging for answers there too.

Don't look for answers or solutions primarily from sources outside of the body. There are herbs, but first use your mind. Mental healing! Will your healing into fruition. Good herbs that will assist include Gingko Biloba, Ginseng (all types), and Gotu Kola. Dherbs.com Brain Booster, CNS, and Ethereal Bliss are also helpful for your condition.

Is it possible for a mother and daughter to still share an aura after the age of two? If so, why? What would be the purpose of such a thing?

By age 2 a child usually develops their own aura unless mother, and child have a unique tight bond. A child is influenced a lot by its mother's energy (aura), so it is not uncommon for a mother's aura to be the same as her child's past the age of 2. It could also be that both simply operate from the same emotions. The mother may have the spirit of child due to being spiritual.

While I know by experience that herbs can have a healing effect you say that clearly, "Sarcoidosis affects the glands", the inner and outer skin, and the lymphatic system. Sarcoidosis is a degenerative disease, and is therefore due to improper diet. You don't mention at any stage that it is an auto immune disease. To say that diet alone can cause one's immune system to attack the body and major organs (which you don't mention anywhere) seems very simplistic. I may be wrong, but I hope you are not just raising hopes for all the sufferers out there. My sister has sarcoidosis.

Beloved, why would I want to in futile and falsely raise innocent people's hopes and create bad karma for myself? I'm not one of the unscrupulous Christian ministers who do such, Beloved. I'm a wise natural healer. I have no incentive in raising false hopes. Life is not joke nor is suffering! Sarcoidosis is a PREVENTABLE and REVERSIBLE disease which means it is diet related. A disease is preventable because eating wrong foods can be prevented. A disease is reversible because poor diet is reversible. Research the medical term "degenerative disease" and you'll understand where I'm coming from. I'm not one to embrace autoimmune disease because when the body turns on itself that's not natural. The person did something to make their body attack itself. People invite disease, Ma'am via WRONG DIET, WRONG THOUGHTS, WRONG ACTIONS, etc. If she was born with sarcoidosis, she picked up in life, a life that she led pursuant to her own free will. I say again: YOU CAN heal from any disease! If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you can't, you can't! It IS that simple! Jesus (not that you may be a Christian, I'm just quoting) stated: If thou canst belive, all things are possible to him that believeth!

I am a 31 year old professional athlete (African American), and I was diagnosed with over active bladder. This condition makes me use the rest room about 20 to 30 times per day, it is very uncomfortable. The urologist went inside the penis with a camera, but he did not find anything, and from there he said I had "overactive bladder". I would like to know if you recommend something that specifically could work on helping repair the bladder, and prostate area. I have already taken your Full Body Cleanse. I am just looking for something that specifically repairs the bladder/kidney function. On that note, I also want to know is there something I can take for penile dysfunction? I was with my wife the other night, and everything went fine. Until, I noticed that I was experiencing some issues as far as the penis staying erect, about half way through the act. I do not smoke, drink, or abuse any drugs. I'm wondering where it may have come from? Could the frequent urination have anything to do with it? Also, it is noteworthy to mention that I was masturbating a lot even 3 times a day, for a period of years. I am wondering could that be a problem? Can I repair these issues?

Greetings! I recommend The Male Cleanse which will address every concern you wrote about. While performing this cleanse, order and drink "Kidney's Tea", and "Jackrabbit Tea" (1 cup of each daily while cleansing). Your genital glands may have become weakened due to the excess masturbation. You lost a lot of zinc (with every ejaculation zinc and other nutrients are lost), so after the TMC make sure you purchase, and take our Zinc Formula, MSM Sulfur, Kidneys-Bladder Formula and Male Hormonal Formula, at least for 3 months until you rebuild the uro-genital system. The kidneys are connected to the sex glands. Learn mental science for sexual enhancement. The same principles apply. Check out our 'Mental Science' e-book and work those techniques in the sex act. Trust me - they work! You can heal, Beloved! Also, read some of our great FREE health articles on male sexual health. The site is loaded with good free information!

If you could only consume one of these juices every day which would it be green juice or wheatgrass juice?

I'd probably opt for vegetable juice despite the fact that wheatgrass is very nutritional.

How much gingko biloba should a person take per day?

As much as they want to! It's an herb! You can't overdose! Please read "How To Take Herbs", "Are Herbs Safe To Take?".

Can you advise me as to whether there is a cure for Protein C Deficiency, a condition that causes blood clots?

Simply detoxify your body (2-4 times per year), eat plenty of live, raw foods including consume vegetable juice, consume Dherbs.com Styptic Formula (3 capsules per day), and you'll be fine. These things above will help you dissolve blood clots.

I know that I need to do another Full Body Cleanse, but I'm wondering what the metaphysical reason is behind most of my ailments showing up on the right side of my body? I have sinus pressure and discomfort which cause ear clogging, pain at the base of my head (not sure if that is connected to the sinus issue), lower back and flank pain, and follicles on my ovary (I have on both as well as fibroids), but most of my discomfort is on the right side of my body. What does this mean?

Our article 'Right Side vs. Left Side' should be up on the site next week, Beloved. It answers your inquiry. Please stay tuned to Dherbs.com! Article will be a "Featured" article. The right side is the masculine side and deals with feelings of aggression, assertiveness, responsibility, active rather than receptive, etc. Taking on too many masculine attributes. More rational than emotional and intuitive.
