I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your article on HPV. This afternoon, my doctor called to say I tested positive for low-risk HPV. Thankfully, I have become very spiritually grounded in the past few years, and I know the body has the power to heal itself. In a sea of disinformation (i.e. the internet), it is refreshing to read an article that discussed the spiritual and energetic bases to disease, particularly HPV. In my research today, I've come across quite a bit of information about pau d'arco and its healing qualities, particularly for HPV. Do you suggest pau d'arco? If so, is there a preferred method of ingestion?

Greetings! Glad you enjoyed the HPV article! In re pau d' arco, I really don't recommend herbs by themselves because they are more consumed with other herbs that enhance them and compliment them. However, it is a good herb. Purple La Pacho and Red La Pacho are the most potent forms of this herb.

I've been taking the Fibriod Buster, for 2 years 2 months. 3 caps twice a day. I also took 3 times the Uterus Cleanse. In the beginning it looks that the fibroids were dissolving with the menstruation through little blood clots. But the last 3 months it looks that the fibroids have been growing and harder. I avoided dairy products and meat at all since I began the program. I am 48 and still with regular periods. Do you think I need to include another program? Or consider Surgery? I am very worried and frustrated for this. Thank You. Do you think is good idea to take Full Body Cleanse or The Female Cleanse?

Beloved, despite taking the Fibriod Buster, you have to keep your tri-seasonal cleanses going. I would recommend that every 3-months you perform a major cleanse Winter: Full Body Cleanse Spring: The Female Cleanse Summer: Uterus Cleanse Fall: 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen. Purchase the Mental Science Manual e-book and read it so as to help stay focused on the mental aspect of healing.

I am 4 months pregnant, can I take your Herbal H Formula? If not what can I do to relieve the pain?

Women should concentrate on their pregnancy and think nutrition and not healing, in my opinion. Try Prenatal Laxative for a while and then you may be able to graduate to Herbal H Formula. Please read "Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Detoxing".

I just read what you said about meat and what I don't understand is if meat was not good for us why in the Bible people eat Lamb. How would you explain back in the Bible times during Abraham and Moses when they use to offer sacrifice and kill a lamb were they cruel and going against God. And those who couldn't afford animals like Lamb would use bird eggs. In the book of Exodus chp. 12: 11,21,27,43,48 and Lev. 23:5 and 12:3, Deut. 16:7and Exodus 34:25 when the death Angel was passing and God told them to kill a Lamb and put the blood on the door post and gave the command for them to roast it. How would you explain that because up until this day the Jews still eat Lamb. Even fish, it was fish that God used to feed the 5000 people. Are you saying I can't eat fish at all? I would like to know some of the things you eat in the place of meat, fish and chicken. I really want to change my eating habit.

All meat consumption came AFTER the Fall of Man (Genesis Chapter 6). Man can eat meat while in a degenerate state but to return back to Eden he/she must go back to plant foods. Also, meat today is greatly TAINTED unlike meat 4,000 - 6,000 years ago! It's not the same. Jews are not the healthiest people, by the way! Health conscious people are!

I just bought a 6 week old pup who has not yet had any of her vaccination shots. I'm about to consult with a veterinarian this week, but I wanted to know first if the Parasite and Worm Formula is sufficient? Please advice. Thanks!

The Parasite and Worm Formula is just as effective for dogs as it is for humans, however it is not equivalent to vaccinations. This particular formula helps remove pest from your pet's system. It does not provide the same effect as vaccination shots.

I was told that fibroid tumors are caused by the fact that they are giving cows high doses of estrogen so, women are getting these tumors because they have more than normal amounts of estrogen in their bodies. More and more women are getting fibroids.

Very true! Please read "Fibroid Tumors".

We recommend starting off with the Full Body Cleanse first to get your overall health into a better place. Healing is easier when your body is in good health.

I am writing for advice about a brain tumor. My daughter, 14, was diagnosed two weeks ago with a grade II brain tumor (fibrillary astrocytoma). A neurosurgeon placed a "shunt" in her head a week ago. Speaking with a number of physicians in Atlanta that specialize in pediatric neurology, it seems our options are limited, and we've been directed to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN, for a 6 week treatment of radiation and chemotherapy (tarceva). We know there are risks, but we seem to have no other choice in the conventional medicine arena. Here are my questions. What holistic approach could we take? The tumor is the size of an orange and is growing around her brain like a vine on a bush. It is also bithalamic, that is, covering both her left and right thalamus. She is an honor student, but we are seeing signs of some erosion i.e. She takes frequent naps, does not seem to know when to take herself to the restroom, and is running fevers. The doctors have her on steroids to help with the swelling of her three recent operations as well as something else. My preference is to try to the holistic approach first, but we don't have a lot of time. What are the time-frames associated with your treatment? I know something of this nature will take some time to take effect. I should mention that the prognosis is not very promising.

Don't worry about time, just take a natural course. Chemo and radiation will do the poor child in. This would poison her. But this is you guy's choice here! I would give the child Brain Booster Tea daily (2 cups daily) and Detox Tea nightly. Stop feeding the tumor by giving the child bad food, i.e. meat, eggs, dairy products, refined grains and starches, etc.
