How long does it take for Gingko Biloba to start thinning the blood for those who want to get off of blood thinners? My friend is on blood thinners. He would like to make the switch, but fear the Gingko Biloba may not work fast enough in case of a blood clot, or heart attack occurring. Can he start taking the both for maybe 2 or three days then completely get off the thinners?

The person perhaps shouldn't even consider Gingko due to the fear which is damnable. When people are in fear I usually tell them to do what makes them feel good, and remove the fear because if a person does something in the face of fear and a bad reaction occurs, the fear won't get the blame. The herb or other natural thing will. However, for blood thinning effects of Gingko Biloba, take 9-12 capsules throughout the day, i.e. 3 capsules every 3-4 hours.

I went to my doctor after my Bartholin's Gland got swollen and he did the Bartholin's Gland surgery. He found out during the surgery, I had a blood clot in my Bartholin's Gland. He is not sure how it happen. I got scared and began searching on the internet for vagina blood clot and found your site. I would like to know what you could recommend that would help me with this situation? I would like to do the The Female Cleanse, but it is too expensive. I also wanted the Yoni and Blood Lymphatic formulas, and those are not included. Could you please suggest a few product in a cleanse system that would help my situation? I would like the cleanse to include the Yoni, Blood and Lymphatics, and colon cleanse. Thanks!

You could simply order and take 3 capsules of the Yoni, Blood and Lymphatic, and Colon & Digestive Tract. These formulas will greatly help you!

First of all I just wanted to thank you so much for enlightening me. I have become a devoted reader daily, for the last 6 months. I have become vegetarian and almost vegan. I eat very little dairy by products such as salad dressing, etc. I personally want to thank you for the knowledge that you have shared with us. I had my gallbladder removed about 16 years ago, and I was reading the article on High Cholesterol, and I have a question. Since I do not have a storage place for stomach bile what dangers can come about with the bile just circulating in my body? When I was unconscious I never though about not having my gallbladder. The doctor said you have gallstones, and you need your gallbladder taken out. I did not ask any questions, due to my ignorance and enormous cramp like pains. At times, I wonder if the bile which has an acid taste is eating away at my organs. Please forgive my ignorance, but my mind wonders. So is there a herb that I can take that will do what my lack of gallbladder should do?

Thank you for your words! I'd suggest you perform the Full Body Cleanse and after completion of the cleanse start taking the Liver-Gallbladder-Spleen formula. Bile is alkaline so it's not that bad. However, the bile should not be circulating in your blood.

There's always something you can do. First of all, read the information in the LUPUS article, and get informed on this health challenge. Because she's 8 she'd fare well with the Children's Detox.

I have used MSM Sulfur, and recommended it to a friend because it worked wonders for me. It seemed to have worked quickly. If a person is allergic to sulfur, what else would be beneficial for them for Arthritis?

MSM Sulfur is not pharmaceutical grade sulfur which is toxic to the skin! Many people unjustly give MSM Sulfur a bad rap for sulfur oxide!

I don't know, Beloved! I haven't studied this products. I'm really only into herbs.

I am a 32 year old African American woman. I am noticing that my body is changing overnight. I lost my mother in 2005, and since then I have been diagnosed with being clinically depressed. I was prescribed something that I did not even fill. I contacted the pharmacy to ask a few questions, and yes the pharmacist referred me to your website. I was able to grab some vitamin B 100 complex and that has helped me tremendously. I am calm, my anxiety level down is way down. I don't respond like I used to. Kinda just let things go all of a sudden, I am at peace. Okay! Do I need to cleanse? I have other issues as well. I really can't afford The Female Cleanse. However, can I start on some tea, and maybe a less costly herbal pill? I also experience bad cramps monthly, and my hair is thinning.

Greetings! Very interesting that a pharmacist would recommend someone to our site. However, I am thankful to this pharmacist. I wonder if I know the person, as I know a few pharmacists. Good to hear those results pertaining to depression! Hair is thinning: Order and drink 1-2 cups of Hair Skin Nails Tea daily. Menstrual complaints: order and drink 1-3 cups of Menstrual Cycle Tea daily. I'd also recommend our Detox Tea.

I have read as many articles pertaining to this as possible, and I still need help. My nipples are literally peeling off. Especially in the shower. They are cracked and very dry. I apply the breast oil, but I don't know what's going on? Will they grow back? What is causing this? What else do I need to do? I can send you photos if needed. Thanks for your help!

Greetings! The situation is not as bad as you may think. You just need to focus on cleansing, especially the blood. Keeping using the Breast Oil, but also incorporate the Face and Body Oil. Steaming (i.e. sauna) would also be beneficial. Perform the sea soak as often as possible. Read our article "Sea Salt Soak". Don't worry about the problem so much. Use mental science (consider our "Mental Science Manual e-book"). It's not so bad, Beloved! Just concentrate on your healing, and let the power within that is greater than yourself deliver the healing to you. Breast denotes comfort, nurturing, tenderness, etc. Affirmation: "My breasts are in the process of healing RIGHT NOW!"

I recommend this site to all because it has helped me in so many ways, that I was hoping it may be of help to my 11 year old niece. She is really shy towards others, even at school. To the point where last year, it started affecting her school work. Because, at school you have to interact with others, as well as participate in class. At home with family she's active, sociable, and lot's of fun. When she gets around others she shuts down, believe it or not. I was talking with her mother, my sister and she realized that we was that same way as well growing up. I don't want her to go through life like that, if there is a way to help her. My sister mentioned pills. Since I have found your site there is no way that I'll have her popping man made pills, when there are herbs that are safe. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I know they have tea I saw for adults (Stress/Anxiety), but for kids I wasn't sure. I need something that will definitely work. Thanks for all you do, and look forward to hearing from you!

It's probably just a personality thing. However, it's not a sickness. It's more astrological, and personal essence than anything. I would suggest that the child have its natal chart and numerology chart done. Everything about the child is written "In the Wheel." Read some of our articles on "Social Distancing".

We here in Africa also need you! We are adopting the western lifestyle at a rate that scares me. The number 1 killer in Kenya amongst young people is no longer AIDS, but lifestyle diseases - cancers, diabetes, etc. I do appreciate your article on AIDS. I came across Cayenne powder today. Heard of it? I want to start adding it to my raw salads.

Cayenne powder is an excellent herb, great for the blood and circulation. There are a few versions of it as far as heating units are concerned, i.e. 40,000 H.U., 80,000 H.U., 120,000 H.U. And the hottest is called African Bird Pepper.
