I was wondering how effective the wild yam birth control is? I would love to not be on this Depo shot anymore because the hormones drive me crazy. But my husband and I are extremely fertile, so taking wild yam kind of makes me nervous. Thanks! I love the fact that everything is so pure and natural on your site!

Wild yam is very effective as an herbal birth control! Very! Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine!

For the last two years I have been suffering from a skin disease called pustular psoriasis. I was wondering if the Full Body Cleanse (FBC) would assist in the cleansing of the disease from my body?

I was actually interested in using the Full Body Cleanse, I know that it comes with a nutritional guide but I wanted to know if it would work if I did not follow a vegan diet. I do not consume a lot of fast food which I am willing to easily give up but I wanted to know how it could work on a moderate none vegetarian diet.

The RAW FOODS diet is 50% of the Full Body Cleanse! It won't work without following the diet!

I would like to know what herbs you advise I should take for: healthy skin/even skin tone, hair growth and weight loss? I am pregnant at the moment but I would like to use herbs in approx 10 weeks. I am from England, I'm A 25 year old black woman who is beginning to take my health seriously! What foods do you advise I take out of my diet?

Please read our "Pre-Natal Health" article for the answers you desire! This is a common inquiry for us so we created an article on the subject matter.

I'm only on the 4th day of the Full Body Cleanse, but my sciatic nerve is really bothering me (and it was prior to me starting the detox as well), and my energy level (especially here at work) is still pretty much dragging. I know that you do not advise taking any of your other herbs while doing the detox, so do you have any suggestions for the relief of my sciatic nerve and fatigue situation?

You could drink herbal tea during the Detox. Just don't take solid things (herbs, supplements). Try the Headaches Tea! Drink a few cups per day! If your sciatic nerve is bothering you while cleansing it's because the nerve is being worked on by the herbs. Let the herbs do its job. The pain won't last long. You did something in the past that brought you pleasure but damaged the nerve so now you're experiencing the flip side (pain) on your way back to balance.

I use the Dabur Meswak toothpaste and it has an ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. Is this the same as SLS?

If the SLS is not derived from coconut oil TOSS IT! It's toxic! Dabur products are suspect! If the label doesn't tell you where the SLS is derived from, it's chemical-based! Please read "Beware of Toothpaste and Dental Hygiene Products!".

I was told yesterday by my doctor that my blood test revealed that I have rheumatoid arthritis. Is there anything that you can recommend that I take that would help me rid or heal this disease?

I use to chemically treat my hair and I notice about 5 years ago I cut my hair off and it never grew back the same, also its thinning in the middle and thinning a little over time. I think it's because of the perm. But I'm not sure, it could be my diet, too. I just would like to know what I should take or do to help promote the growth back. Because I know that there is still hair there. I feel the hair, the light hairs there new growth. It's just not as dark or as thick as the rest of my hair. Can you please help?

I purchased and fully used your Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen. Unfortunately I don't feel as if it has eliminated the current virus within my body. I was diagnosed with Herpes about 8 years ago. Since using your product I have not had an outbreak, however I still have the symptoms that accompany it. This would be the aching in the legs, hip, or pelvic area. I am in dire need to relieve myself from this virus once and for all. What is your take on this and is there something else that I must do?

If you feel you have not eliminated the virus then you still have it only because you claim it. Your symptoms are not those of genital herpes but something else. Clearly not herpes! To really get my take on matters I suggest you schedule a 1-hour consultation. Please read all herpes articles on our site.

I have extremely kinky hair. I need a moisturizer in order to comb my Afro daily. I did not see a product representative of something I can use to soften my hair, in order to comb it. Do you have such a product?

Please check our "Hygiene And Beauty" product category.

I would like to perform the RESPIRATORY Cleanse And Regimen on my respiratory system from sinus membranes down through the lungs. Then I would like to perform the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen cleanse the body of any virus or diseases I may have, then The Male Cleanse on my reproductive system. Would I have to use separate cleanses kits, or could you prescribe a kit that would take everything into account? I would like for my wife to do everything the same.

Unfortunately, you'll have to perform separate cleanses. The Respiratory Cleanse and Regimen, Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen, and The Male Cleanse

I have a child who is not overweight and does not eat greasy food but has high cholesterol issues. My son is 8 years old. Can you suggest anything that can stabilize his cholesterol?

Feed him more fiberous foods (fruits and vegetables). Cholesterol comes from 2 sources: meat and dairy products! Are you feeding him meat and dairy? If so, this is the source of his cholesterol problem. It's not limited to just greasy food.

Please help me find some relief in Acid Reflux and Nose Bleeding. I don't know what to do but I haven't had this problem since around 1997. Is there anything you can suggest?

I recommend that you detox (Full Body Cleanse) first and foremost. After Detoxing, take Alkaline Formula and Colon & Digestive Tract. For the nose-bleeding, insert goldenseal powder on a wet tissue and insert into the nose for a few minutes.

I have been dealing with what I believe to be depression for years. I once was prescribed Zoloft and I took the meds for 1 month. I did not want to take drugs so I discontinued use. I have gone up and down in my career and love life. Now I just feel tired and feel I am steadily spiraling down. I know I have to do something, I just don't know what. I have gone to therapy several times and nothing last. I desire to have a full life and believe God wants us to live abundantly. I just seem to keep struggling, I will do well for a few weeks then out of nowhere I will start sabotaging things. Can you tell me what products I can use to gain my life back?

You can get your life back, Ma'am! First, DETOX (Full Body Cleanse). Read our free articles while Detoxing and make sure you order and read our Mental Science Manual too which is very important in healing as it shows you how to work the mind to your benefit.
