What are some natural herbs that I can give my son for hypoglycemia? He gets lightheadedness a lot and has passed out from time to time. He also goes through mood swings, and also eats a lot of starch and sugar which I have tried to regulate but am not always around him to keep him from consuming them. My son is fifteen years old. This has been a big concern for me due to diabetes run in my family.

Please read our article entitled "Hypoglycemia" located in our articles section. Thank you kindly!

What generally is the difference if I were to purchase from Dherbs to get the Activated Charcoal instead of GNC? Also my friend says that he purchased the toothpaste off of Dherbs.

I can assure you we don't sell toothpaste. We never have! We only sell a top-selling herbal tooth powder which I highly recommend. In regards to charcoal, Dherbs is 100% quality. Period! GNC is a corporation and their products are usually cut with additives (fillers, binders, preservatives, etc.) There's no comparison between Dherbs and GNC! Take a chance and find out for yourself!

I read one article that stated she did not have the virus anymore (herpes) because her pap smear was negative; however, the rap smear does not indicate if one has the virus or not, it is the blood test that shows a positive or negative. My question: Do the products eliminate the herpes virus...yes or no?

No! The product or any product we sell does NOT eliminate the virus. For more understanding on herpes, please read the following articles which can be found in our articles section: "Genital Herpes" "Is Gential Herpes Really Curable?" "Woe Is Me I Had A Herpes Outbreak!" "Herpes Outbreak On The Buttocks"

I have read your article on "Calculi: Kidney, Bladder, and Gall Stones". Would the natural remedy you listed in that article also help with salivary stones? I have had problems with this for over twenty years now. I have had one of my submandibular gland removed due to the duct had become blocked and the swelling wouldn't go down. The doctor said that both glands had stones in them but they only removed the one. I still am having problems with the other gland and in constant pain. I have tried a lot of things to try to rid it or to ease the pain. I just want to be rid of the stones, the swelling, and the pain for good without having the gland removed. So again will this work for salivary stones?

You can use the product for salivary stones! GO FOR IT! "Calculi: Kidney, Bladder, and Gall Stones".

My youngest son had a very bright green stool last night and I saw that it means acidic foods that he has eaten... I am kind of just getting the hang of this eating right and haven't been hard on the kids with it... What I want to know is what am I supposed to feed a two year old that won't hurt him? I want him to be healthy.

Feed him food: fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and some grains! Try vegan food options. You can find many entrees at Whole Foods Market!

I have a darken spot on my buttocks from a previous outbreak. Will the ANTI-VIRAL ROLL ON clear up that spot? Or will it go away once the cleansing is completed? Do I have to take the pills in the same order and at the same time each day? Or do I just need to make sure I complete the regimen each day with proper spacing of time?

Only your body knows the answer to your question. Give the Anti-Viral Roll On a try and see for yourself. Just make sure you take the formulas (all of them) before the day is over with. Just take them in intervals (2-3 hour intervals).

Anti-V Roll On

I would like to know if The Menstrual Cycle Formula, can be used as birth control, being that it contains both wild yam root and pennyroyal? From my understanding, pennyroyal acts as a contraceptive, just as wild yam root. Please let me know if this correct! Thank you!

Oh no, no no no!!!!!!! These are just 2 ingredients with a host of other ingredients that neutralizes these 2 contraceptives' potency. Menstrual Cycle Formulais NOT a contraceptive. Not at all!

Menstrual Cycle Formula

I am going to purchase the Herbal Contraception from your site. Do you recommend pennyroyal for a contraceptive?

Herbal Contraception is more effective than pennyroyal. Know a few ladies who took pennyroyal as birth control and ended up pregnant.

Should black cohosh and other traditionally considered female herbs be consumed by males?

They can be consumed by males. Black cohosh is healthy for the heart!

For the past 6-9 months I have been experiencing periods or flashes of itching, not surface but internal flashes that cause me to scratch. These symptoms come on when I get excited or surprised. I am a dialysis patient and take 2 blood pressure meds & a phos binder. Please help, the Doc's are clueless!!!

Medication has your blood polluted which is affecting your skin, number one. Dialysis and drugs? I don't know if you want mix herbs with drugs, Beloved. A good detoxing (Full Body Cleanse) would do you some good right about now. You have a choice to make! Doctors will remain clueless!

I take issue with your remark that "women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men." Part of me is not surprised--men make comments like this all the time. I chalk it up to ignorance, as men enjoy living their entire lives not having to endure periods, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and lord knows what else. So because a woman does not want to have children--at all, or at a particular time in her life--she wants to be a man?! That's an illogical conclusion you are making. So why are there pregnant women with cancer, some of which who have never taken BC pills? Are women entitled to making any sort of control over their reproductive health? What about women who are infertile, naturally? If they develop cancer, is it because they never gave birth to a child? Are you willing to support all of the children that will result from women not being on Birth Control, since many people cannot afford several children on their incomes? This line of reasoning makes some women think that men really need to get over themselves. I think you have been reading too much Freud. Some women, present company included, appreciate our femininity and everything that encompasses being a woman. At the same time, this is not the dark ages--and even then, women chose not to have children during different times in their lives. Surely you are aware that in non-Western countries women utilize natural herbs to control their reproduction or as abortifacients? I am not advocating abortion; my point is that if you are going to criticize women taking BC pills, you may as well extend this criticism to women naturally preventing pregnancy via alternative means.

Birth control pills play a big role in female reproductive cancers. Women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men. In attempting to stop or prevent life (birth control), they are ending up losing their very own lives. And the birth control pills cause cancer in areas of the body that denote femininity (breasts, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus and vagina). This is a form of language here. You have disease and female organ(s) which basically means your disease is specifically related to an issue of femaleness or femininity, that's why the disease manifests in these "female" organs. In attempting to be like and compete with males, females compromise their feminine integrity and goddess nature which "eats them up" (anger, frustration, sadness, etc.) inside. When the cancer appears in any female organ, it serves as a sign or sensor that the problem lies on a deeper metaphysical level pertaining to emotions, thoughts and attitude."

I have bought most of your e-books and recording and just want to tell you how enlightening all the material has been. While reading, the mental science book you talked about a poverty conscious mindset and how many leaders of spiritual movements such as Christianity and Nation of Islam used manipulation to keep their followers in bondage. One of the specific things you mentioned was that leaders would tell their followers they have to give their money to the institution even if it was money they had to use to pay the rent mortgage. My question is: how does that differ from a tithe and what do you think about authors, other metaphysical teachings of the principle of giving as a secret to prosperity? I know in Catherine Ponder's books she mentioned that 10 is the number of increase based on ancient teachings and that we should give systematically to demonstrate our faith in an abundance universe. I have also read many authors who say that same things. What is your take on it?

I believe in giving but it must be from the heart. Many people don't give from the heart but from FEAR! Or, they feel compelled to give and this is not giving freely. It's quid pro quo giving meaning "I'm giving because I want something in return" i.e. Recognition, to be or get in good graces with God, etc. I'm covering tithing in my new manual "The Money Manual." Tithing is just 10% of something, not necessarily money. Tithing can be 10% of your food, time, services, etc. Giving is okay but folks should not give to others without first giving to self for charity starts at home. Poor people should not be giving charity in the form of money for if God needs a dollar God is in worse shape than his poor followers. It is the organization asking for the money and doing so in the name of God. They collect money in the name of God and thus exploit people in the name of God.

I received my package yesterday of Nerve-Calming Tea and Sixth Chakra. My 8 year old son does not like tea. Is there anything else he can use besides the tea? I got this because of your article on ADHD. My next question is I gave him the drops of the Sixth Chakra this morning, is the morning OK to give him this?

Yes, the elixir is okay to give him or anybody! Have you tried sweetening the tea with maple sugar or another natural sweetener?

I currently have many skin problems. I first started having body rash and eczema around my lips. When the skin gets dry, it hurts, and I've been trying to moisturize the skin with using all natural Burt's Bees and/or Hugo natural lotion, cream or oil. I tried sea salt soak and been taking Sen-Fen, Blood formula, Immune support, Anti-Viral, but it's not working and the symptoms haven't gotten better at all. My entire body is really itchy from rash, so I haven't been able to sleep well for the past 2-3 weeks. If you have any suggestions for life style, special drinks and foods or products I can use, please let me know asap!

Greetings! You skin problems are explained in the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder" which I suggest you read. (visit articles section). When there's no physical healing, check the mind. Check out the NEW Mental Science Manual and there is a chapter in there on using the mind to heal. Basically you are focusing too much on the problem and not the solution which is optimal health and well-being. You are telling yourself how you don't want these problems and by saying this subconsciously, you are keeping the problems. Have your permanently switched or changed your diet? If not, what are you waiting for? Your blood is begging to be purified. Herbs alone won't get the job done. Let go of worrying about the problem. Focus on enjoying life, getting back in balance and you will begin to heal! Check some of our articles on "Eczema".

I have used a product similar to your Bowel Motion which has both senna leaf and cascara sagrada as ingredients. Recently I had a colonoscopy and the gastroenterologist found staining from these ingredients. He also told me that if I continued to use them that they would have a reverse effect, making my minimal peristaltic action stop completely. What is your thoughts on my continued use of these products? Are there any herbs that would strengthen my peristaltic action, making it work on its own?

It is not true about the herbs. Plants are not like drugs! These herbs will not stain anything in your body. They are organic plants. Doctors are one half of all problems for giving people wrong information, usually in which people will believe or start thinking about. Stick with herbs for your healing. Try our Colon & Digestive Tract and/or Bowel Motion and change your diet and you will be fine. Try nature!

My son has been evaluated as having both ADHD and ADD. My son is eleven years old and can be very hyper at times. The doctors have experimented with ever kind of drug and they usually have him so zoned out he can't focus. He has a learning disability in reading (in the 6th grade on a 3rd grade level). Do you have anything to help him and also make him focus? I would love to see some improvements! I would like to see grades go up and behavior changes. Please help me if you can! Also, I see the same symptoms in my six year old. Please inform me! Thanks in advance!

It's not the children but the outdated educational paradigms. The children are not the problem so why are we fixing what is not broken? Your children need stimulating things for their minds. They are perhaps Light children who have come here to do powerful things (healing, raising consciousness) and now they are trapped in the public fool system. Consider a consultation, Beloved! Drugging light beings is not the solution. But properly feeding their minds is! Peace and Love! Please read "ADD and ADHD".

I have tried to sweeten the tea, but he does not like tea at all. Is the elixir OK to mix in juice? I may have to set up a consultation. When it comes to the ADHD thing, he gets very frustrated and angry, because of something he is just not understanding in school.

If he doesn't like the tea, he just doesn't like it. Don't force it on him. Yes, the elixir can be taken with juice. Let's talk about his situation sometime. I'm creating a new article on ADD at present which should be out soon!

I am involved in a workout regimen and wanted to know if you recommend anything for after workout muscle recovery to maintain intensity without increased soreness?

I would recommend MSM Sulfur to help undo all damage due to working out.

What's the best type of aloe vera juice to drink? Also I have heard that the gel from the plant can be mixed into a smoothie, is that true? Thanks for all of the information which is very beneficial I must say.

Greetings! As far as the best brand I really wouldn't know as there are a few good brands on the market. Just make sure your aloe vera juice is at 99% pure and with no additives. Aloe gel can be added to a fruit smoothie though I personally wouldn't add it to a fruit smoothie.
