I am interested in learning more about natural medicine and health. I'm also interested in your opinion on where I can learn more on herbs for a natural healthy lifestyle?

I'd suggest the University of Kemetian Sciences @ www.kemetaphysics.org (Phil Valentine). Also check out Clayton College of Health. Read some of our articles tagged "Herbology".

I am traveling to Africa and don't want to be vaccinated. What do you suggest I do, and how can I obtain Cinchona Bark?

Inquire about a waiver form! Cinchona is used in a few formulas sold at Dherbs.com. Otherwise you'd have to inquire with a local herb store to purchase it individually. It's a rare herb (also known as Peruvian Bark)

I'm a 28 year old male with big dreams and high aspirations. However, I've been dealing with issues of sustained motivation and fear for the past 10 years. As a result my life has suffered socially and financially. I see many people around me getting ahead, but I seem to be trailing behind at every step. The hardest task I think I deal with is keeping my life in balance and staying focused with all I desire to do. I've struggled with changing my beliefs about myself and reprogramming my mind for success for a long time.

You have some inner blocks that are holding you back. The problems are recorded in your chakras and thus you should have chakra work performed by a qualified (doesn't mean "certified"), and trusted energy healer. Instead of focusing on keeping your life in balance, focus on what you desire to do only. I really suggest that you read my e-book manuals: "The Money, Wealth, and Prosperity Manual", "The Mental Science Manual", and the new "Discovering Your Life's Higher Purpose" (highly recommended). I can totally relate to what you're saying and experiencing! You're just blocked! You may have some vital information stored in your natal chart as well. You need an inner diagnosis performed. If you order all the tools named above, I will give you the consultation for free so we can nail down the location(s) of the inner blockages. You very well may be blocked at the First, and Third chakras. Fear is stored in the First chakra, just to let you know. You can be helped, Beloved! Stay positive, and focus on your desires. Like I state in the "Mental Science Manual", play in your mind! Live in it and miraculously the things stored in the mind, and constantly played out will manifest.

I just purchased the Lifestyle Manual, and I really love it. However, I have two questions that were not elaborated on. Where do I purchase and what kind of Ozone machine is best? Where do I purchase and what kind of oxygen machine & water machine is best?

Glad you enjoyed the e-book! However, sounds like you did not receive a copy of the updated version which lists this information.

I just ordered 2 Full Body Cleanses. Can I break apart the pill and pour it into a 9oz. bottle of water and still achieve the same effect?

Yes, you may, if you can tolerate the taste!

I have been sexually involved with this guy for 1 1/2 yrs. He just recently found out that he has a Peri Rectal Abscess. Actually several abscesses on his butt cheeks. They gave him antibiotics for it. This morning I woke up with the same type of (abscess) knot/soreness on my upper buttocks, near the crack of my butt, as he did. We have never had anal sex. Is this Peri Rectal Abscess contagious and/or transferable sexually? He seems to think it's not. What should I take naturally as an antibiotic? I know your thoughts and views on Colloidal Silver, but that is all I had this morning to ease some of the pain.

For remedies, please read our article "Anal And Rectal Problems" in our articles section.

Two months ago I used your Full Body Cleanse and got fabulous results. I also did The Female Cleanse three weeks after the detox and got fabulous results from both products. My family, and I have been vegan for the past eight months and before that vegetarians. Now, I am still experiencing pimples and some fungi which looks like a kind of wring worms, but much smaller appearing on my body. Not just mine, but other members of the family as well. I gave the children and my husband their Full Body Cleanse, as well, and I have even bought the Oxy-Oil to treat this. I really don't know what to do right now, this stuff is spreading on my body, but I have a very positive attitude with it still. I thank God that I am richer in color (meaning very dark) that one can't really see spots after they have dried up. But, I should also tell you that Bermuda is a very moldy place to live! One has to constantly stay cleaning washing, and airing out the house out.

Start performing the "Sea Salt Soak" (read our article by the same title in our articles section). Perform daily if you can! I'd also recommend you alternate between the Oxy-Oil, and the Face and Body Oil. Read the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder." Continue to stay positive! Consider reading "The Mental Science Manual."

I was recently attacked and stabbed on the street. I was taken to a hospital. There I was then cut open for apparently no reason, because the bleeding stopped on its own. Now, I have lumps on my stomach, one of which bothers me when I sneeze and stretch. I asked another doctor what was happening, and he told me it was fat and fibers and that it wouldn't go away. I don't want to ask another doctor, because I know they'll suggest an operation. Can you give me an alternative route? I'd like to hear what you have to say peace and blessings.

There's no herbal alternative to surgery, Beloved! Man, doctors are no joke! They will do anything just to make money. Perform the Full Body Cleanse, Beloved! Rub Face and Body Oil on the lumps. Perform the sea salt soak daily. Read our article "Sea Salt Soak". Also, read "The Mental Science Manual."

I've been taking classes on how to be more responsible for myself naturally because my Naturopath became a burden to my pocket. I have no insurance and I don't make a great deal of money as a massage therapist. Visits were at least every six weeks. He did more talking (irrelevant to my case) than evaluating. The supplements I could find (same brand) for at least 1/2 the price elsewhere but was left to trusting him for my first supply. I wasn't even sure why I was taking some of them. I've been reading as many of your articles as I can, in order to get a clue about what's best for me. YOU'RE GREAT! But there are times when I feel I need expert advice on how my body feels. Though I felt taken advantage of by my Naturopath. Can you give me an idea on how to ID a good one on this side of the world? What would be a typical intake? Price?

Hmmm! Intake, Price? That's going to vary! The best way to determine anything is based upon your intuition (energy). A good ND listens to you! Their price is pretty economical, or they will work with you to help you out financially. They don't push their products on you, they just inform you on what you need. They let you know you have free will and choice! A good ND will allow you to ask questions and give you answers that suffice your questions.

My wife is having problems breast feeding. Complaints of soreness and pain. She alternates between soy and the breast milk to give breast time to heal. We are also considering the IUD for birth control. I suggested to her the diaphragm or herbs. She doesn't trust the two. Also, what books would you recommend that deals with the metaphysics of the body?

The soy milk is really not a good alternative milk. Please read the article on "Alternative Infant Formula Milk" as well as the article "Breast Problems". You'll find answers and remedies in these articles. Herbs are better than inserting some man-made device in the vagina, but it's her choice. Everything has a resonating energy, and the energy from the gadget will alter her vaginal energy.

I have also heard some discouraging things about the antibody blood test for HSVII and how its not as accurate as testing for lesions. But I had herpes for about a year, so I know my body had enough time to generate antibodies for the virus. Therefore, when I did the regimen the antibodies went away. But I guess my question is, just because antibodies go away, does that necessarily denote that no virus is present; or in other words antibodies only are present in response to the virus in my body? I just want to make sure that these issues are not something that should be given greater attention. Please help! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!

I'm not really into the whole antibody thing with herpes, but using western logic, no anitbodies = no virus present! You're Fine! You're experiencing some residual healing effects. But don't focus on this thing to long because what you worry about you create. Read the Mental Science Manual Beloved!

After the Full Body Cleanse and the Ant-Viral Cleanse for HSV can the Oxy Oil help with breakouts and healing crisis?

Either the Oxy Oil, or Healing Facial and Body Oil will help you in the matter!

Oxy-Oil (8 oz)
Face and Body Oil (8 oz)
Face and Body Oil (4 oz)
Oxy-Oil (4 oz)

After I finish the Full Body Cleanse and the Anti Viral Cleanse for HSV, will I have to follow a RAW diet forever? I want to go back to my normal (healthy but cooked) food diet, which will still include a substantial amount of raw foods.

Of course you don't have to eat RAW forever, your diet plan sounds smart and wise!

I did the FBC, the Antiviral Cleanse, and Electric Greens Cleanse. I tested negative for HSVII, (thank GOD). But, I have still been experiencing a lot of itching and redness in the genital area (and they get worse around the same time periods that my genital herpes outbreaks used to flare up, though this just might be a coincidence). There aren't any big lesions, but sometimes there are small patches of red raw skin, (not cuts). I know that the body can eliminate toxins via the skin. Knowing this I am assuming that if I take in toxins, it is still leaving via the skin (correct me if I'm wrong).

Great to hear! You tested negative. The energetic residual effect of the outbreaks are still there. Doesn't mean you have herpes though! Healing is not over with because of some test! You still have healing to do on the emotional energetic level. You are 100% correct about your body eliminating toxins Beloved! Because, the occurrences are on the vagina, you may need to address some past sexual issue or issues dealing with your Goddessness.

I am just becoming a vegan going on 20 years in June and it takes a lot of discipline. I was wondering if you knew any good recipes for some good vegan style dishes? I really want to establish a vegan restaurant. I have purchased your Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook) and I know its healthier to eat vegan. But, I also understand its not the healthiest due to soy products. Is their still away to satisfy my appetite and well being at the same time?

We have a couple of articles you might be interested in. Articles: "Dietary Choices", "Dherbs.Com Position on Soy Products".

I have experienced dramatic hair loss in the last 7 months. The Dr. says it's stress. I have since eliminated stress, started working out, detoxing (ionic foot bath), and eliminating the bad foods. I have been known to eat excessively in the past. I'm just not sure, if it is not my hormones off track, because of the poor diet, then what? Although, I believe that poor diet leads to any illness now. I would like to find one product that can focus on the bigger picture for me which is complete well being to STOP the hair loss and grow my hair back as thick and strong as it has always been. When the hair loss started I noticed constipation at the same time. The constipation is slowly getting better, but the hair loss really concerns me. I am a model, and my hair is my trademark. Do you know of any reputable naturopaths in Atlanta? Is there a product of yours that you could suggest?

Usually, the hormones are out of balance, usually the ovaries. Hair loss is a sign of degeneracy at the sexual reproductive level. Rebuild the endocrine system. Start by cleansing the body. Start by detoxing (Full Body Cleanse) followed by performing The Female Cleanse. Also, learn to focus on what you desire (beautiful and healthy hair) and not what you don't want (hair fallout, hair problems). Our Mental Science Manual is good reading for healing with the mind in addition to herbs and other things.

I was reading one of your articles, and it mentioned having an ozone oxygen machine. I researched to see if there was anything harmful in doing that. I found something that didn't sound good. Is it safe to use that? I mean ozone is way out in the atmosphere, and using it down here will that cause harmful reactions to one's body? Do you have one, and does it cause any harm? Any help will be appreciated.

You are confused on the two kinds ozone. I'm talking about ozone, or oxygen (with 3 molecules). Study the research of ED Mccabe, (Do Google Search on him). Research Ozone therapy.

I was wondering if you had any insights as to why I experience "warm flashes" during the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle? I've been sampling your Female Hormonal, for some time now, and while some products have helped lengthen my cycle, I still am having the hot feeling. I'm 36 years old, have never had a child, and am wondering if there's any way I can "preserve" my fertility up until age 40.

It's never hopeless unless you agree to believe that it is. Have you performed a female based cleanse (The Female Cleanse)? Any warming (i.e. hot flashes) pertains to dumping off toxins, but usually due to the uterus being taxed. How's your uterine health? Any problems in that area?
