What do you think about organic whole cane sugar, unrefined and unbleached?

Not really a good thing to consume but it's better than white table sugar if you feel you must consume sugar. Please read "Save Yourself By Using These Natural Sugar Alternatives".

I'm looking for a natural product to help me get a good night's sleep and not be feeling sluggish in the morning.

I was wondering if there is a safe way to detox quickly from marijuana? My best friend is 30 weeks pregnant and she has been smoking her whole pregnancy. She has to quit now and be drug tested before the baby is born. She has been looking for things to take and I don't want her just taking something that could be unsafe for her or her baby. She is going to be tested in 2 weeks. Is there anything she can do or take that will be safe for her and her baby?

She could always drink our Detox Tea!

It lists Thyroid Aid formula as number 4 and I've had my thyroid taken out so do I just skip taking that one or replace it with something else?

Can we consume rice cakes during detox?

NO! Please read our "Frequently Asked Questions"! It's pretty good!

Will the detox help my blood pressure go down and what do I do about the Meds I am on now? I wrote you a while back. My best friend was suffering from liver cancer and he passed away. It really was a wake-up call for me. I want to get my life in order. I read everything I can on natural meds. I live in the IL area. Do you know of any Doctors in my area? I really love your web site! It has a lot of good info on it! I have passed it on to friend & family. Please keep up the great work you guys do and God bless you!

Unfortunately, I know of no doctors outside of California, my home state. Try contacting Karyn Calabrese. Do a Google search on her name and you should be able to get her contact info. She owns 2 restaurants in the Chicago area. She's an alternative health practitioner. I've been to her spot in Chicago.

I'm doing the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen and I would like to know if I can used organic almond milk with oat bran cereal from Bob's red mill and order organic cereal? Also what is the 35% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE used for?

You have free will and can do as you like, Beloved. We recommend all raw (and unprocessed) so if you really want to eat the almond milk and cereal, it's your choice! 35% FGHP should only be used for enema purposes (half ounce added to the water).

Can you combine Vegetables (green leafy) with Vegetables (fruit-vegetables)? Are fruit-veggies considered fruit or veggie?

Green leafy veggies may be combined with fruit-veggies (cucumbers and tomotoes). Fruit-veggies are really fruit. You can always tell because of the seeds. Technically, anything that contains seeds is a fruit! Check our Food Combining Chart.

Is it normal to still spot or discharge after my menstrual cycle?

Of course it is! Have you read any of our articles on female menstruation (i.e. "5 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Period")? They will give you much insight on this subject. Please read at your leisure!

I just finished your Full Body Cleanse and Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen. I do feel much better however I am still having a constant discharge from my penis foreskin. Dr's who have looked at it say it is not herpes but if not, then what? It has discharged since mid November and has not stopped. There is no pain associated with it directly but whenever a get tingling in my feet it feels that that as is the source of the problem. Someone told me they had tingling because of acidic body but then what about this discharge? Is it an infection? All normal STD's were negative but after hearing what the Dr's said I didn't get a blood test. Again I want to say that I think your products are fantastic and have made me much healthier. I did eat some sushi with brown rice, avocado, and kim chi after the kit and woke up the next morning with a headache and sore throat. Also I felt a throb under one of my arms which I had prior to taking the anti-viral kit. Maybe a lymph node? I had a number of raw food meals at a restaurant that used dehumidifier and nuts or seeds in most of their things and would also feel the tingling sometimes after eating this. I have read on some sites that herpes can be set off by nuts so I'm wondering. Anyway where should I go now to completely clear my body of any of these penis sensations discharges and tingling? Also I wanted to say that wow I have had a lot of mucus coming out of my body and my guess is there is probably more that wants to come.

Your solution is not in anything external such as the kits (Full Body Cleanse (FBC) and Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen). They only assist you. Your chronic problem means further work. Keep detoxing, eating a strict diet, etc. until the discharge goes away. Also, you are being compelled by your body to reassess and revise some things pertaining to your sexual belief system. The problem is with the penis so the underlying problem is pertaining to your sexuality. Tell you what: concentrate on your colon and reproductive system. Alternate between the FBC and The Male Cleanse until you get your results. Healing requires patience! But deal with the underlying problem! What have you been doing sexually or what are your beliefs pertaining to sex? Are they healthy? You have a discharge because something (belief, thought) needs to be discharged.

I have been having a problem with my feet and ankles swelling off and on for the past few years. I have seen medical Dr.'s who diagnosed me with tendonitis, said they weren't sure of the problem so they would have to run tests, and who gave me prescriptions for water pills, but the swelling continues. What could be the cause?

Perhaps, too much sodium (salt) in the diet. You should perform the Full Body Cleanse which comes along with a dietary change (as you need to change your diet). There's plenty you can do, but detox for starters.

How will the quality and safety of the herbs be affected by the radiated methods of the US Mail service? I do not feel very secure about this shipping method. UPS, FEDEX or DHL would have been better for me.

Herbs will still do their job, Beloved. The herb actually fights the radiation regardless of the source. That's how they are programmed, to fight that which is unnatural.

If I cannot afford to buy the Full Body Cleanse at this time can I start with one or two of the herbs and which ones?

You sure can! You can choose any 2 formulas that you feel you need: Blood & Lymphatic Formula, Cardiovascular formula, Liver, Spleen & Gallbladder, Lungs & Respiratory formula, Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenals, Colon & Digestive Tract. Detox Tea can also be drank with the 2 formulas you decide to purchase.
