I was reading your article on Astrological Health and I am a Scorpio woman, born on October 31, who does not have a strong sex drive at all. In fact I've never really been into sex at all which has made my partners upset and discouraged at times and has had me thinking that something may be wrong with me. I have even considered seeing a sexual doctor about these issues. You state that the "Scorpio governs the genitalia or sex" and this explains our sex drive but yet I've been sexually active for 7 years and have also never had an orgasm. I was molested from ages 4 to 11 and sometimes I think this has something to do with how I am but I'm just not sure. I would really like to increase my sex drive and be able to orgasm and have considered taking your Bunny Rabbit formula in order to fix this but now knowing that astrologically I'm supposed to be opposite of how I am (which I've heard before but didn't know the extent until now), I'm beginning to think something is seriously wrong with me. What are your thoughts?

Please consider scheduling a consultation so we can get to the root of the issue and help you to unblock your blockages that are preventing you from truly enjoying sex and having an orgasm. Consultations are now half price ($50). There is healing and help for you! You're just missing the knowledge you require.

During my phone consultation, I inquired about shaving creams other than the magic shave that I had been using for years. I tried the Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap as well as the Alba shaving cream. I have tried them both, and I use the hydrogen peroxide after I shave. But after a couple of days of smooth butter skin, my face becomes slightly irritated and small bumps form around the area where a goatee would grow. I know that I have some skin issues as of late, but don't know what. I even put a good amount of the Oxy-Oil on my face after I use the hydrogen peroxide. Should I not expect any constant smooth shaves until I go through the Full Body Cleanse (FBC)?

Whether you know it not but you answered your own question and correctly so. Yes, give the Full Body Cleanse a try!

Please tell me why do some people have great need to bite and chew ice all the time?

It's called PICA, meaning they lack nutrition. Also, it's a subconscious way to deal with stress and tension.

How can we find out which type of nutrition is in need? Please help!

I use a form of kinesiology (vibrational diagnosis) which can be performed over the telephone as it incorporates energy.

Can you recommend a store that sells sea salt? I live in the Houston, TX area.

Whole Foods Market.

I recently purchased your Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen. I noticed that the bath calls for 1-2 boxes of sea salt. It that the amount of salt for the ENTIRE cleanses or ONE bath at a time? Exactly how much is 1-2 boxes? A cup?

1 box = 26 ounces!

I got a call this morning from my cousin and she said that my aunt, who is my mother sister and who has been a nurse for over 30 year was placed back in the hospital because if a lupus outbreak that is effecting her brain. My mother died in 1994 from the same illness and there are 4 of my 5 girl cousin also suffer from lupus. What herbs can I buy for her to help her with this??

For more information on lupus and what to do for this insidious disease, read our article on "Lupus" which can be found in articles section.

I was on the computer, I came across the article on the big ole butt. In the article you said (paraphrase) that successful women tend to be sick. Are you saying that these women should not try to be successful? In my opinion if black women are overweight, they cannot blame the corporate lifestyle, they have to blame themselves. We are all in control of our own lifestyle, those same corporate black women, if they were working 9-5 at some factory somewhere, they would still be fat. I do agree with you when you stated that many black women lack will power to fast. I think that we lack will power to do anything that is beneficial to us. Yes I do agree with you that the steatopygia female does look like a "pig". Their faces tend to take on pig like facial features. Yes you are right that miss steatopygia tends to wear tight pants, (in my opinion that type of backside is stinky looking). So yes there is some parts of the article I do agree with. Far too many of us black women, tend to be stubborn and too defensive. I am glad that your site does exist, because far too many sites like to blame "whitey". You are one of the few black health specialists, that put the blame on us, and you should because our lifestyle is our responsibility.

No, these women should BECOME successful, but not lose their health and/or souls in the process of becoming successful. The corporate sector has played a great "role" in Black women gaining weight because the jobs are too sedentary and they have access to too much sugary junk which converts to fat because corporate jobs don't allow them to burn off the fat. I've seen this firsthand with many once fine sisters who blew up like houses within a 5 year period. Corporate America was the venue in which Black women CHOSE to let their health go by the wayside, at least the majority of them. Thank you for sharing your views and sentiments on this Dear Sista! Much obliged! Please read "Here’s What Sugar Does To Your Brain ", "How The Food Industry Helps Engineer Our Cravings ", "Will Increased Serving Sizes Make America Healthier? ".

For several years, I have a pins and needles feeling all over including burning. I feel light-headed frequently and feels like I would fall to the floor if I don't concentrate on keeping myself steady. I have lower back pain (center) that does not relent. My foot feels like there is current running in my feet all the time and my pinkie on my right hand feel numb. My neurologist tested me for MS and it came back negative. I have been to several doctors and no one can tell me what it is or help me with my symptoms. They have resorted to calling my condition "stress". I do feel anxious most times and lack optimism. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your response.

You are in need of a full body cleansing. I recommend you try our Full Body Cleanse. Also, start drinking Nerve-Calming Tea (which you can drink while Detoxing).

Put him on the Full Body Cleanse and have him drink the Rainforest Tonic daily. His diet should be all raw foods too and he should drink plenty of vegetable juice.

For your skin I recommend use of Oxy-Oil. And yes, you can start one cleanse after the next. No problem at all in doing this!

My question is about hair loss. I am a 45 year old African American female. I started losing my hair about 15 years ago. I specifically remember unusual symptoms before it started to fall out. First, my entire scalp had a burning sensation, and it was very tender to the touch. It was very difficult to brush, comb and wash. Then after that, I am not sure how much longer after, but a dry patch of skin developed toward the back of my head (approximately 1 inch in diameter). I was able to peel it off and pull it through the strains of hair (very weird). That happened a couple of times and not too long after that, my hair started to fall out in large amounts for a fairly long period of time. At the moment I would say that I am mostly bald with hair mostly around the edges. Also I would like to mention that hair started to grow on my chest BUT I started to lose hair in my vaginal area. Sorry if some of this sounds sketchy but it's been 15 years!! I will try to give you a little bit of my history. I am 5'8" and 135lbs. I would say that for the most part, I have been an athlete all my life. My menses were very irregular sometimes and/or absent for long periods of time. When my menses were present, I had very bad cramps and clotting. My menses are now very regular and I hardly have any cramps, my flow is light and very little clotting. I would have to say that it is now a pleasure to have my "period". This also might be a result from switching my diet to a vegetarian diet. I have been a vegetarian for about 16 years. I would say 20% is dairy, but after reading your articles, I am trying my best to become vegan, hopefully even a raw foodist. I also eat tofu. I have never had hair problems growing up. I did get relaxers, but only twice a year. I have had my appendix removed when I was in elementary school. My bowel movements are usually once a day. (I know it needs to be 3.) So anyway, I have been to a couple of medical doctors to no avail, so now I am coming to you. I just received the following products from your company today (10-06-08). I am looking forward to using them. - MSM Sulfur - Electric Greens Combo - Colon & Digestive Tract - HEALING HERBAL TOOTH POWDER - Hair & Scalp Oil One last note: I have had maybe one cold in the last 3 years. I can't remember the last time I had the flu. So thank the Lord, my health has been pretty good. Thank you for reading about my situation and hopefully you can shed some light on what is going on with my body.

Have you read the 2 health articles on hair ("Hair Problems" and "Black Hair, Nappy Hair")? If not, please read these articles for remedy and recourse. Also, read our article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder"."

I'm having a tough time with my 7 year old son and the public education fool system. I don't want to put him on Concerta (one of the new Ritalins), so I purchased the Sugar Formula and I'm awaiting delivery. My question is, how long will it take to see positive results in his behavior?

Please read our article "When Will I See Results After Taking The Herbs?" Great article that leads to understanding on the question: when will I see results, how long before I see results, or when will the product begin to work?
