There are lesions on the right side of my body and in a couple a days later a new lesion will appear on my left side. They are large and sometimes in group. What causes this to happen?

The body is trying to eliminate and is using the skin. Sounds like your other eliminative channels are clogged.

My skin has a thick crust like coating in the lesions. Is there something I can apply? I have been using the Oxy-Oil. Is there a special way to use it to get results?

I recommend the Face and Body Oil for your situation.

I am a 60 yr old black female. I am 5ft 2in and 155 lbs. Good health basically except for hypertension treated with meds. I take Lopressor 25mg b.i.d. Otherwise in pretty good shape. I have been experiencing shoulder pain that radiates to my forearm with some swelling. All x-rays have been negative. Can you suggest what may be causing this problem? It is not constant, but very frequent and uncomfortable, especially at night.

Please give the Full Body Cleanse a try as it should help your hypertension and pain. A lot of times the problem is metaphysical, i.e. "shouldering too much responsibility". After the cleanse daily use of Cardiovascular formula and Circulation Aid formula.

Could you please tell me if you recommend castor oil or black currant seed oil to be used with the ParaWrm Formula and at what quantity (1 tsp or more)? Also, can you tell me your thoughts, bad and good, on black currant seed oil? And does either of these oils ingested cause weight gain because of the fatty content? Just trying to get a better understanding of these oils and the benefits and drawbacks of them.

Go with castor oil over black currant seed. These oils don't induce weight gain!

I have thyroid problems. I am extremely cold sensitive. I spend the majority of the year cold. My hair is thinning. I would like a supplement instead of medication. Real Life health food store told me to take Kelp. I don't know if I have given it enough time. What do you recommend?

Please read our "Thyroid Gland" article" in our article section. Herbally, I recommend our Thyroid Aid formula, Electric Greens Combo, and Iodine Phosphate Formula. Kelp is a seaweed and all seaweeds are good for thyroid problems.

At age 15 I started getting cysts in my sweat glands (under arms, under breasts, groin area). Doctors treated me with antibiotics and creams over the years... It left so much scar tissue...Around age 23 I had my sweat glands removed and at that time I was diagnosed with HS (Hidradenitis suppurativa)... The problem went away for about a year, and eventually moved to another place (the groin).. Seems to flare up monthly during my menstrual cycle.. Since then, I was diagnosed with kidney disease, I am a dialysis patient with High blood pressure, high cholesterol.. I am on at least 6 medications to regulate my blood pressure, cholesterol, potassium, and phosphorous levels.. Due to all these changes, my libido is extremely low and almost nonexistent.. I have a hard time achieving a climax with my partner...I am married with 3 young children... I've considered weight loss surgery as a way to finally get my weight under control as it has been a huge issue for the last 10 years. What can you recommend that I can take to detox and cleanse myself of all my health issues?? Is there really anything out there to help my situation??

There's always help! Keep your mind focused and stay positive. Give the Full Body Cleanse a try followed by the Pancreas Cleanse.

I am concerned that I have trouble eliminating waste naturally and have to take some sort of laxative every other day. I have gone to specialist and they all subscribe fiber of some sort and that works for a while and I have to steadily increase the dosage to get it to work. I would really like to get away from this practice all together and be healthy. I am not overweight- currently 5"6- and 140 pounds. I have had this probably at least 10 years. Your help is appreciated.

Keep your focus on what you desire (optimal health). Stay positive (read our Mental Science Manual e-book)!!!! Herbally, try the Full Body Cleanse which should really help your situation.

I wondering if you could recommend a hair growth vitamin to take. Also the breast supplements you offer do they increase the size or just the health of the breast? Can I take both the breast and hair vitamins together?

For hair: Hair Skin Nails formula, MSM Sulfur, Vitamin C formula. The Female Breast Formula causes moderate breast growth over time; and also helps the health of the breasts. The hair products and the breast formula can be taken together.

I would like to know if there are herbs that can help or cure ADD? My sons are exhibiting signs of the disease and are being tested and I was wondering if there are natural remedies for it. They have a hard time focusing and are frequently irritated.

Please read our "Attention-Deficit Disorder" article in our article section. These children really don't need anything, just mental stimulation in a boring classroom. But if you insist something natural over chemical (drug), i.e. Recommend Nerve-Calming Tea (1 cup before school).

I just purchased the Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen and today is my first day. I'm unable to get through on our inquiry line. The diet isn't completely clear to me. Although it says miso soup is OK, I'm unclear on other things. For instance, is tofu OK? What about hummus? What do sprouted grains consist of? Would Eziekial sprouted grain breads and tortillas be OK?

The miso soup is the exception to the dietary rule! NO tofu, NO Ezekiel grain breads (no processed grains at all). Sprouted grains are grains (or seeds) soaked in water overnight and consumed. They are not cooked! Hummus is okay (as it's not cooked). Recommended article: "What is: Raw Foods?" Visit our articles section!
