I have been dealing with a clogged milk duct on my left areola. My 9 month old daughter got a virus last Thursday and was vomiting non stop for 3 hours. We rushed her to emergency, and they were able to stop the vomiting and get her re-hydrated. Then I got sick followed by my husband. As a result of her vomiting, she didn't nurse as often, and I became engorged. I noticed pain and a small lump with pus. I did some research and figured it was a blocked duct. I massaged, applied warm compresses, tried to pump and nurse, but it seems to have gotten worse. Yesterday there was a great deal of pus that discharged from the end of my areola. Upon massaging the area the pus that was dislodged, created a hole there. The nurse is telling me I need to go to the Dr. and get antibiotics. I do not have a temperature, but I don't want things to get worse. I am still nursing, but it is painful. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to remedy this? I read that taking 4-5 cloves of garlic acts as a antibiotic naturally.

Mastitis, is inflammation of the breast. Inflammation is caused by mucus, and mucus is the result of an acidic body predicated upon an acidic diet. A diet high in animal products, (meat and dairy products), as well as refined grains, starches, and effervescent acidic beverages can cause this. Many times, mastitis denotes that an injury is present. The pus actually serves to help out in the situation. Doctors will prescribe antibiotics for mastitis. Since when have antibiotics been able to get rid of mucus and pus? Never! So why would a woman take antibiotics for an inflammation problem? There are natural remedies for mastitis, just as there are for every other breast complaint. If you suffer from mastitis, especially while breastfeeding, start consuming Mulein leaf tea, (3-5 cups daily) Mucus Formula, (capsules and/or tea, 6-9 capsules daily or 3-5 cups per day). You don't want to breastfeed if pus is coming out of the nipples. Instead make an alternative milk (see our article Alternative Infant Formula Milk) to feed the baby while you are healing your breasts. Think positive too! Consider our "Mental Science Manual" e-book to help get and keep your mind right!

I am wondering if it's possible to still become pregnant, after having an abortion at age 17. I'm now 35, and I have had a cyst removed from the right ovary back in 1999, when I was told my Fallopian tubes were blocked. I practice a fairly holistic lifestyle, which I still eat fish in fear of not getting enough protein, but I haven't been pregnant since 1992.

I had a boil my groin area around early Feb. I went to the doctor, and he told me I had staff infection. He gave me some antibiotics. This made it worse. I went back, and they gave me more antibiotics and ointment. After a week it seemed to be working, but it started to make me itch, and a rash came on my penis. The rash went away, left dead skin, and came back. It seems like jock itch. What herbs can I take?

Beloved! Perform the Full Body Cleanse, followed by The Male Cleanse!

I have a friend who was told he has a heart murmur and a small hole in his heart that is leaking. He needs to get surgery to get the whole closed up, or else it can get worse. He has severe chest pains, and his right shoulder hurts him constantly. They say it is because no blood is pumping to his arm at a steady rate because of his heart. He does not have health insurance and wants to avoid the medications and surgery. He has lost weight so what do you recommend? Full Body Cleanse? The only thing with that is it says you will lose 10-50 pounds he can't afford to lose to much weight. Could you explain? And would this help him a great deal? Also me personally would like to do the Full Body Cleanse just for overall health reasons and it seems to be a great cleanse. I'm only 120 pounds, will this make me loose a lot of weight? I cant afford it either. Please advise!

Do you have any supplements for children with Down Syndrome?

Magical Alchemical Elixir, and Children's Detox are highly recommended. Don't forget good diet too. Beware of chemicals (in the foods, beverages, etc.) as they further impair the brain. Read some of our Child’s Health articles.

I recently started a natural breast enhancement routine. I am using fenugreek seed, mint tea, and licorice. After I purchased the licorice, I noticed you can only take it for 4 - 6 weeks. I think maybe I should be taking something for 3 months. Should I get something different such as red clover and saw palmetto to take with fenugreek, or stick with the licorice for the 6 weeks to see what happens? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Saw palmetto berries would be the best thing to take. Read our free articles. We have some articles that touch on this subject, e.g. "The Superficiality of Breast Implants".

My wife has had a lump underneath her tongue for the last 4 days. She visited the doctor today, and they told her it was a blocked salivary gland. Of course, they prescribed an anti-biotic and told her if it did not work, they would recommend her to a specialist. My wife just entered into her third tri-mester which makes us skeptical of the anti-biotics, aside from that not being how we heal ourselves anyhow. I did some research about blocked salivary glands and I'm concerned. Are there any alternative treatments, therapies, herbs, or acupuncture, that will help her with this?

These damn doctors prescribe antibiotics for every damn thing under the sun. Have her perform the Electric Greens Combo Cleanse (which is very safe during pregnancy). Have her drink vegetable juice daily too! She can detox for the problem (blacked salivary glands) but the cleansing needs to be subtle. Check out the new Dherbs.com article entitled "Salivary Glands Complaints".

I read somewhere that it is good to fast for about 16 hours and then eat. I've tried this with success, and I want to do it again. Do you think (if I am breast feeding) this will be bad for my baby at all?

I don't recommend fasting while breastfeeding, Beloved! Think nutrition, not cleansing! Read "Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Detoxing".

My son has now been given a diagnosed of Aspergers by the school system. When I took him to the doctors for a second opinion, they agreed. I do believe he lacks some social skills. I read the articles you ran on Autism which lead to my below questions. The "Magical Alchemical Elixir", and "(6) Sixth Chakra Elixer" - can you explain how I should administer these? Do I give them to him at the same time? I drop him off at 6 am, and do not see him again until 6 pm. What type of dosage will I need to give? He is going to the six grade, but schools will not allow him to take supplements in school.

The instructions are on the bottle of each product. You can add them to a glass of water (perhaps a water bottle), and the child can drink it before he exits the car for school. I'd suggest 2 dropperfuls of both formulas simultaneously. But the chakra elixir can be taken sublingually. Read "How To Take Herbs".
