Carbon, how is this product used?

Please read our article "Benefits Of Carbon A/K/A Activated Charcoal" located under "Articles" section on our site!

Many vitamins and minerals websites indicate that their products have been tested and actually contain what they claim to contain; what are your protocols on manufacturing? Are your herbs organically grown?

Organic/Wild-crafted Herbs?

Dherbs.com only utilizes organic and wild-crafted herbs in its formulas and compounds. Although organic herbs are always not available, we order our herbs in advance to make sure we keep our products full of 100% organic herbs as well as 100% wild-crafted herbs. At Dherbs.com, we go the extra mile for our customers and we stay on top of our game to bring the customer the best product available! No other herbal company uses as many herbs as we use in our formulas nor does any other herbal company or business use the degree of rare and exotic herbs as we use in our formulas. At Dherbs.com, without a doubt, you get the BEST and for LESS!

Gelatin Capsules?

Dherbs.Com only uses vegetarian (vegan) capsules made from 100% plant fiber as Dherbs.com has a policy to not use animal or animal byproduct ingredients in the manufacturing of its products. Gelatin capsules are derived from animals (mostly pig) and are thus not vegan or even halal or kosher. Also, gelatin capsules do not fully dissolve in the stomach like vegetarian capsules. Most herbal companies use gelatin capsules because they are cheap, costing 2-3 times less than vegetarian capsules. Dherbs.com does not let high prices or expenses stand in our way of bringing people the Best, the Safest, and the Soundest! Dherbs.Com is people first!

Tablets?

Dherbs.com does not use tablets because tablets require the mixing of too many additives in order to make the tablet stick together or bind and come out a certain way, i.e. Dense, smooth surface, etc. Capsules allow us at Dherbs.com to give our customers 100% pure herbal ingredients held together in a 100% digestible vegetarian capsule for maximum absorbency in the body.

Preservatives?

Dherbs.com uses absolutely no preservatives in any of its products as the only thing that needs to be preserved are "dead" things and herbs are not dead, but living (living foods), therefore that which is alive does not need to be preserved so Dherbs.com does not and will not use preservatives in any of its formulas.

Fillers?

Many herbal companies use fillers in their formulas as a way to cut down on giving the customer 100% herbal content. Dherbs.com is against this custom. Fillers may help the encapsulation process by making a formula more dense for encapsulation, but fillers have no nutritional content so when you add them to herbal compounds, they take away from the compound. Fillers help the encapsulation company and herbal company, but not the customer. Fillers water down the product! Dherbs.Com is against this process and custom.

Binders?

Dherbs.om does not use binders as we have no need for binders. Many herbal companies use binders to help certain ingredients bind together, but at Dherbs.com, we use 100% herbal content and so our ingredients naturally bind together.

Additives?

Dherbs.com does not use any additives in any of its formulas. Additives water down the product and take away from the efficacy of a product that utilizes natural compounds. Additives help herbal companies save money by giving the customer less herb per capsule or tablet.

Solvents?

Dherbs.com uses absolutely no chemical solvents in the use of its liquid herbal extracts or crystal elixirs. Our extracts are uniquely made via natural agitation (by human hand) and natural sunlight (solar energy) and our elixirs are also made by human hand and exposed to moon and sunlight. It takes us approximately two (2) weeks to produce a liquid extract compound because Nature requires time to produce what she produces. However, other herbal companies are like major fast food restaurants and need a quick supply of products for their standard of convenience and thus use harmful chemical solvents to quickly produce their herbal liquid extracts. At Dherbs.com, though convenience is important to us, however, we won't compromise the integrity of our products to help people get a quick fix and to make a quick buck. Patience is a requisite of Nature and Dherbs.com is in tune with Nature. Dherbs.com will NEVER use chemical solvents in the production of its herbal liquid extracts or crystal elixirs.

Standardization?

Dherbs.com does not utilize standardization in any of its formulas. Standardization is an unnatural process whereby a standardized herb provides uniformity of a single plant chemical. A standardized extract delivers a quantified and measurable level of the targeted active ingredient (major alkaloid) in every serving and in which this active ingredient is considered by science to be the key ingredient responsible for the herbs health benefits. Other herbal companies trust man-made science, but Dherbs.com trusts in and relies upon Nature.

Other Ingredients?

The phrase "other ingredients" is simply an umbrella term for "additives" and other herbal companies use other ingredients (i.e., magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, rice powder, stearic acid, etc.) in their formulas to simply cut the volume of herbs in their formulas. Other ingredients take up space or room in the capsule or tablet and this allows the company to save money while giving their customers a watered down product.

Are Dherbs.com Herbs Safe To Take? Absolutely! It's like asking, "is real food (i.e. fruits and vegetables) safe to eat? Herbs are noble foods in powdered or liquid form. They are 100% organic, digestible, and assimilable by the human body (unlike harmful, man-made pharmaceutical drugs which toxify the human body). People should actually ask their doctors "are these drugs safe to take?" instead of asking about herbs being safe to take. It is drugs (legal drugs, O-T-C) that kill hundreds of thousands of people per year whereas 0% herbs are killing people per year.

Can you take other Dherbs.com products together?

Of course (unless you are performing one of our kits and regimens)! That's like asking can you eat lettuce with tomatoes and carrots in a salad! If you are not performing one of our kits and regimens, i.e. Full Body Cleanse, Anti-Viral, or Weight Release, you can take our formulas together. You can drink our teas before or after taking our capsule formulas. It's actually best to space out the formulas, but if you need to take everything together, you can. You have free will here and it will not hurt you or mess up the efficacy of the herbs. Not at all!

Should I continue taking my blood pressure meds for the 20-day Full Body Cleanse? My meds includes a diuretic 25mg.

Please read our "Frequently Asked Questions" pertaining to the Full Body Cleanse. Or, read the article "Can I Take Medication With My Herbs" located under "Articles".

My husband is 46 and has been diagnosed with high blood pressure. He is taking the medication that the doc. has prescribed. Is there any thing else that he can do or use to get this under control? He has always been healthy, he hates taking the meds because it is affecting ....... You know what.

I suggest you read our "High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)" article. It's located under ARTICLES on our site.

On May 10th 2003, I was attacked while on my job and I suffered injuries to the lumbar and to the cervical spine. I was given pain management therapy (cortizone) in massive doses; about 18+ injections over a 3-week period in October of the same year. By Thanksgiving, 2003, I was admitted into hospital with blood sugar levels of 800+! While thyroid issues have exhibited in the family, there is no history of diabetes on either the maternal or paternal sides of my family, neither is there any sign of the disease in any of my other 11 siblings, the youngest of which is 40+. At one point, the symptoms of the diabetes disappeared for 2 years, and reappeared in January of 2007. I am not overweight, nor do I have excessive body fat. I work out every day with weights, and have the appearance of a body builder, although not excessive. I walk about 3-5 miles every day and have consistently low blood pressure levels, much to the surprise of my doctors. I have and excellent diet; mostly consisting of fresh vegetables and skinless broiled chicken and fish. Some beef with the marble trimmed. I have a normal stool consisting of solid waste, and regularly. I have long suggested that my pancreatic duct(s) are blocked and after reading some of the literature on your website, I am even surer of it. Although the levels lately are starting to stabilize again, I am taking this synthetic insulin, about 3-4 units in the mornings, and before dinner, and about 10-16 units of the overnight insulin. Being well muscled, and not overweight therefore not needing to lose weight, and being totally active, what are my options in assisting me to unblock the pancreatic ducts of what I believe to be the cortisone, as I have spoken to others with the same situation, so that my pancreas may better function? I have also read about some of the other products that may be helpful. I look forward to your response, as I have heard your commercial on KJLH radio.

Sounds like you need to perform the Full Body Cleanse and Pancreas Cleanse And Regimen to kick start your pancreas into activity. Also, practice some of the other regimens I listed in the "Diabetes" article (especially drinking the vegetable juice).

What herbs can help shrink a tumor in the pancreas? And are there any herbs that will help with cancer in the pancreas?

Chaparral, goldenseal, maitake mushroom, and comfrey root are all good herbs, for both pancreas tumors and pancreatic cancer. For pancreatic cancer we recommend to first perform the Full Body Cleanse, followed by the 10 Day Electric Greens Combo Regimen and lastly complete the Pancreas Cleanse. While detoxing overdose on vegetable juice (green veggies). After completing the cleansing process we recommend taking 3 capsules of the Pancreas Formula 2-3 times a day, also begin with these individual formulas; Alchemist Gold, and Oxy-Drops. Other formulas we sell that can help heal from cancer are: Mushroom Combo, Anti-T Formula, Anti-Tumor Extract

In the Full Body Cleanse, can you take formula #7 with water and how much do you use? Also, I would like to know if you can mix formula #2 with a fruit juice (while detoxing)?

Formula #7: You're supposed to take one tablespoon full with water, 1 glass full! Mix or stir well and drink!

Formula #2: yes, but wouldn't recommend it! Water is best!

Please read "How To Take Herbs".

What do you recommend to increase Testosterone levels? Also, help to increase sexual stamina/appetite using natural resources?

Read our free articles, i.e. "Impotence, Infertility, and Sterility"; "Testicular Problems", : "Natural Penis Enlargement", etc.

Do you have independent analysis studies on your products (i.e. cude analysis, quantitative analysis) from Companies like ConsumerLab who does independent product analysis?

No Sir! We don't do these types of tests for our products which we consider FOOD! Many herb companies check (and rightfully so) because they mix herbs with drugs and do all other sorts of things, i.e. add fillers, binders, preservatives. Dherbs is simple! Pure herb in vegan capsule with our intent to help people. That's it! Now however, we do use divination to check the potency of our herbs and elixirs and we also utilize this method if we decide to check for anything else; however, it's very rare!

My niece is trying to get off of some drugs that she's been taking. What are the best herbs to help her with that?

Illegal drugs or legal drugs? Have her detox with the Full Body Cleanse. Every day during the detox, have her soak in hot water with 3-6 boxes of sea salt added to each bathe. Have her drink vegetable juice daily. Have her drink 1-2 cups of Licorice Tea daily!

First of all, I will like to say thanks for such wonderful product. I truly believe that I am blessed to come across this site. My concern is this: I bought the Full Body Cleanse this is my third and final week on it, yet, I have not had regular bowel movement daily. At times, I may have a movement once a day and after few days have another. One of my excitements was, to lose some weight as well as cleanse myself. What do I need to do? My next step is to buy the Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen. I am waiting for your advice as to what step to take next before buying it. Thanks for your kindness and willingness to listen.

Lack of bowel movements means your colon is compacted. It may take some time but the herbs will regulate it. Drink more water, drink Bowel Motion Tea and also drink prune juice (especially at night before bed). I suggest you perform the 10 Day Colon Cleanser next followed by the Weight Release Cleanse & Regimen. I am glad you enjoy Dherbs.Com!

I have Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and I only have a discharge and I am about to be on my cycle I know that tampons and pads are not good cause of the chemicals it can leave. Is there any pads or tampons that are natural or don't have chemicals that can harm any bacteria for my vagina?

We list alternative brand pads in Dherbs Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook). Brands off hand include Natra-Care (which I highly endorse) and Seventh Generation.

My mother had a mastectomy about 33 yrs ago and her arm has always been swollen. Now as she becomes older it is getting larger than ever. She takes meds from the doctor, I think they are fluid pills, this doesn't seem to help and it keeps her running to the restroom so much she doesn't take the full prescription. What do you suggest for her problem? She also has heart problems that limit her from a lot of exercises.

Swollen-ness deals with fluid retention and perhaps inflammation. Have her rub carrier oil (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.) on the swollen skin and then rub in some peppermint and/or euclayptus oil (3-4 drops) on top of the carrier oil. Have her soak in hot water and sea salt. Dherbs formulas I recommend are Headache And Pain Formula , Central Nervous System formula, and Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenals.

Chemotherapy???? Please read our articles "The Dangers of Chemotherapy" and "CANCER: Causes and Remedies". Still smoking???? My God, he's facilitating his own demise. He needs to change up his life NOW! Have him detox with the Full Body Cleanse a.s.a.p. Tell him to stop smoking! NOW! He has to play a role in his healing if he wants to live!

I want to purchase your Anti-V Formula for my herpes, but before I do let me give you some background. I have had this since I was 19 and I'm 21 now. I have outbreaks every month around my menstrual cycle. Also, I'm constantly applying Abreva to my lips several times daily. I take Valtrex but it doesn't help. I have changed my diet and nothing helps. Is there anything else you recommend taking with this anti-viral product? Thank you I hope to hear from you soon.

I suggest you read our "Genital Herpes" article on our site under Articles. If you feel nothing helps, check your MENTALITY. Doubt cancels out healing. So does worrying and skepticism. Read the article "Think Yourself Healthy" You can heal, Beloved. Changing your diet, did you go all raw foods and give up meat and dairy products? Around your menses, drink Female Health Tea. Bathe in hot water and sea salt (2 boxes) and add in 2-3 drops of essential oil of Clary sage and Geranium (available at Whole Foods). There's so much you can do! At some point, perform our Full Body Cleanse followed by our Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen.
