Iatrogenics is medical term that means: “caused by treatment or diagnostic procedures.” SOURCE: Mosby’s Medical Dictionary (1990), 3rd ed., pg. 600. An iatrogenic disorder is defined as: “a condition caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure to the environment of a health-care facility.”

Iatrogenics and iatrogenic disorders are caused by mistakes or negative effects caused by medical treatment or advice. In other words, they are significant health issues caused by doctors or their treatment protocols.

Other causes of iatrogenics are:

• Negligence
• Adverse reactions to prescription drugs
• Faulty procedures
• Interaction of two or more prescription drugs
• Blood transfusions
• Over use of over-the-counter drugs that help build resistance to other treatments
• Hospital acquired infections (e.g., Staph infections, pneumonia)
• Improperly sterilized medical equipment

Doctors don’t heal. They practice medicine. They are licensed by the State. What doctors do is a privilege, not a right. On the other hand, you need no permission from the state to heal or administer herbs.

Facts about Iatrogenics and Iatrogenic Disorders

In 2010, the US Food & Drug Administration’s Adverse Events Reporting System claims 82,724 drug-related deaths and 471,291 serious drug-related adverse reactions. The death rate has increased 66.7% since 2000.

In 2009, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 1.2 million emergency room visits due to misuse or abuse of pharmaceuticals compared with 1 million emergency room visits due to illicit drug misuse or abuse. That means in one year, there were 200,000 more emergency room visits due to iatrogenic disorders than illegal drugs.

Think for yourself and trust your intuition to take control of your body and your life. Doctors are not perfect, and the treatment they recommend could be worse than the cure.

Consider your options, and know there are alternatives to healing.

No matter what the alternative health product, modality, or therapy, you will usually find a disclaimer on the bottle, box, machine, or advertisement, stating: “CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USE” as though Western medical physicians actually study alternative health products, therapies, procedures, and gadgets/technology on the market today.

Most physicians condemn that which they are ignorant of, mainly predicated upon fear-fear of the unknown, and deeming it as a threat to that which they do know about: pharmaceutical drugs and surgery.

Every time an alternative health practitioner says: “CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USE” they further legitimize allopathic medicine as the authority on health and knowing what’s right and best for people pertaining to health and nutrition.

The average doctor (or even nurse) may speak negatively of herbs because they are ignorant about herbs.

They may condemn the herbs and recommend their pharmaceutical drugs instead, despite the fact that the prescription medications can trigger side effects that are worse than the condition the drugs are designed to treat.

They may condemn chakra balancing, ionic foot detoxification, or body detoxing with herbs but will promote their dangerous and unnecessary surgeries.

Western allopathic physicians, physicians assistants and nurses do this because it is safer to go along with regulations made by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) than to adopt alternative treatment methods that may not have the same money (and testing) behind them as pharmaceutical drugs.

Keep in mind that the FDA is the same government agency told Americans to smoke cigarettes for good health reasons. It’s the same agency that approved many drugs as safe that were later found to be extremely dangerous.

Instead of or before consulting a physician, consult God (your Higher Self). Consult with your own intuition or inner knowingness. Learn to trust yourself.

The body can heal itself when you put yourself into the right frame of mind. Prescription drugs are made with chemical derivatives of natural elements.

The body can heal itself when it’s given the opportunity to do so. Change your diet to one that’s vegan or raw food based. Remove the acid-forming foods and beverages from your diet that promote a toxic ecology within the body, keeping vital organs from properly functioning.

The body can heal itself when it’s in an environment that promotes health. Live a lifestyle that’s clean, surrounded by positive energy, by aligning chakras and engaging the power of crystals.

The body can heal itself when it’s put to use. Engage in activity that promotes a stronger physical body such as yoga, tai chi or pilates. Walk around your neighborhood, or take a hike in the hills.

Just something to think about!

The word “hernia” comes from a Latin word meaning ‘rupture.’ Basically, a hernia is some kind of rupture.

Causes and Risk Factors

Hernia can happen in many different parts of the body.

Abdominal Hernia

An abdominal hernia is a hernia in which a loop of bowel protrudes through the abdominal structure, often through the site of an old surgical scar. It is also known as ‘ventral hernia.’

Diaphragmatic Hernia

A diaphragmatic hernia is the protrusion of part of the stomach through an opening in the diaphragm, most commonly an abnormally enlarged esophageal hiatus.

In some cases the intestines may also herniate into the chest. The enlargement of the normal opening for the esophagus may be caused by trauma, congenital weakness, increased abdominal pressure, or relaxation of ligaments of skeletal muscles, and permits part of the stomach to slide into the thorax. A sliding hiatus hernia, one of the most common pathologic conditions of the upper GI tract, may occur at any age but is most frequent in elderly and middle-aged people. A kind of diaphragmatic hernia is hiatus hernia.

Femoral Hernia

A femoral hernia is a hernia in which a loop of the intestine descends through the femoral canal into the groin.

Hiatus Hernia

A hiatus hernia is a protrusion of a portion of the stomach upward through the diaphragm. The condition occurs in about 40% of the population, and most people display few, if any, symptoms. The major difficulty in symptomatic patients is gastroesophageal reflux, the backflow of the acid contents of the stomach into the esophagus.

Inguinal Hernia

Inguinal hernia is a hernia in which a loop of the intestine enters the inguinal canal, sometimes filling, in a male, the entire scrotal sac. Of all hernias, 75% to 80% are inguinal hernias.

An inquinal hernia so large that it passes into the scrotum is called a scrotal hernia.

Umbilical Hernia

Umbilical hernia is a soft, skin-covered protrusion of intestine and omentum through weakness in the abdominal wall around the umbilicus. It usually closes spontaneously within 1 to 2 years. This hernia commonly occurs in newborns (new babies).

Herniated Disk

Herniated disk is a rupture of the fibrocartilage surrounding an invertebral disk, releasing the nucleus pulposus that cushions the vertebrae above and below. The resultant pressure on spinal nerve roots may cause considerable pain and damage the nerves. The condition most frequently occurs in the lumbar region.

Natural Healing For Hernia

Under allopathic medicine or allopathic medical approaches, hernias are repaired via the process of surgery. Hernias (all kinds) take time to heal.

Perform the Sea Salt soak daily (for all hernias, umbilicus hernia is optional).

Colonic hydrotherapy is highly recommended (for all hernias except umbilicus hernia).

Consider seeing a chiropractic specialist.

Reiki, pranic healing, acupuncture/acupressure, and magnet therapy are all highly recommended for healing purposes of all hernias (umbilicus hernias are optional should a parent choose to use one of these healing modalities). Choose the modality that you feel is best for you or that gives your relief and aids in your healing process.

When using magnets, never apply the South side to the body as South stimulates and North is healing. Always use the North side of a magnet.

Umbilical hernia

Umbilical hernias usually reduce to normal or near normal within a year or two so parents, especially mothers, shouldn’t worry. These usually reduce in its own time.

An old wives tale suggests taping a quarter over the protruding navel. If anything, you can tape a flat-shaped clear quartz crystal over the herniated area from time to time to facilitate healing.

From time to time, gently massage the baby’s abdomen and stomach with natural oil (coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil) or shea butter, massaging the area in a circular motion.

NOTE: Do not feed a baby grains or honey for the first 2 years of life! Grains are too hard on the baby’s digestive tract and digestion process.

Hiatus or hiatal hernia

When there is hiatus or hiatal hernia, the condition is due to too much acid in the body (gastrointestinal tract) due to acidic diet, which results from meat, dairy, and refined grain consumption. Too much acid (from poor diet) in the body throws of the natural acidity level of the stomach and GI tract.

Herniated disk

Sleeping on a magnetic pad is also helpful for healing in a herniated disk condition. Visit one of the following sites to order a magnetic mattress pad:

• MagneticMattressCovers.com
• BetterHealthInnovations.com
• shokos.com
• nextag.com

Get plenty of rest and stay off your feet as much as possible when there is herniated disk.

Periodically, place a hot pack on the herniated disk area. Alternate between cold pack and heat pack is you wish to do so.

Also, you can place green-colored crystals on the herniated disk area as well. The color green stimulates healing.

Dietary Intervention

For a brief period of time, consider a RAW FOODS diet (for all kinds of hernias)! Abstain from eating acidic foods, which are processed, refined, and cooked foods. For raw food recipes and living, see our Dietary Choices section (under More Services on the home page) at www.dherbs.com

Eat plenty of raw, organic fruits (especially mango and papaya) and vegetables. Consume plenty of raw fruit and vegetable juice as well!

Drinking 1-2 ounces of Aloe Vera juice daily will also help.

Refrain from consuming acidic beverages, beverages such as coffee, soda pop, wine/alcohol/beer, lattes, milk, Gatorade, commercial brand fruit beverages, etc. (for all kinds of hernias). Instead, drink plenty of alkaline water (see article on Alkaline Water) and herbal teas (see Dherbs.com Herbal Teas section in the on-line store).

Drink plenty of vegetable juice daily too.

One can counteract any over-acidic situation and issue by consuming more alkalizing foods and beverages.

DHerbs offers relief from all hernia except for umbilical hernia. When there is inguinal hernia, males should perform specific cleanses to help bring recovery from hernia’s.

After performing the Dherbs.com cleanses above, a good daily regimen includes taking the following herbal compounds:

• Prostate Formula
• Male Hormonal Formula
• Bowel Motion

Perform the Sea Salt Soak as often as you can.

When there is herniated disk, perform the:

• Full Body Cleanse
• Nerves Cleanse & Regiment
• Nerves Formula
• Joint Aid
• Colon & Digestive Tract
• Alkaline Formula
• Electric Greens Combo

The post Hernia appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

You may have heard that life and death, sickness and disease start in the colon. To physically heal the human body of any degenerative disease, you must place emphasis on cleansing first and foremost, and if necessary, repairing.

A selection of diseases and challenges of the colon include:

• Colitis
• Colon cancer
• Diverticulitis
• Diverticulosis
• Ulcerative colitis
• Prolapsed colon
• Constipation

There are many ways to cleanse and repair the colon and there are also many helpful tools that can help you to do such.

Nothing sabotages the health of the colon like the Standard American Diet, which is greatly acid-forming and thus mucus-forming. It is full of unhealthy and toxic meat and dairy products. Refined grains and starches are just as harmful, creating a gluey and paste-like substance that sticks to the colon’s walls.

The body cannot digest meat (especially cooked meat) no matter what you believe or no matter what you have been told or heard. Cooked or process meat lacks enzymes unlike plants and fruits that are loaded with enzymes (life force) and which unlike meat, dairy products, and refined grains and starches – promote peristalsis (bowel movement).

When we consume meat, dairy products, refined grains/starches, and processed foods – the aftermath of these things sit in our colons and rot and putrefy. The stench will sometimes seep through the pores of the skin (which is why some people simply smell bad regardless of what they do, e.g. bathe, shower, wear perfume/cologne etc.).

Bad breath (halitosis) generally is the result of a toxic, compacted, and polluted colon, which in turn results from a diet based on processed animal fats and protein (meat and dairy) and other processed and cooked food.

Diseases of the Colon

The human colon is nearly 30 feet long (27 feet to be exact). With a colon this long, clearly humans are not meant to consume animal flesh. It takes about four days for the human body to digest (to the best of its ability) animal flesh or meat compared to only a few hours to digest (and eliminate) fruits and plants.

When we don’t take care of our colon, a host of colon-specific pathologies may result, i.e., colon or colorectal cancer, colitis, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, colon stasis (constipation), colic, inflammatory bowel disease, and coloptosis to name a few, but also certain medical procedures may also need to be performed (if you are into allopathic medicine), procedures such as colonoscopy, colosigmoidoscopy, colostomy, and colonic fistula.

Colorectal Cancer

A malignant neoplastic disease of the large intestine, characterized by melena, a change in bowel habits, and the passing of blood. Malignant tumors of the large bowel usually occur after age 50, are slightly more frequent in women than in men, and are almost as common lung cancer in the United States.

The high incidence of colorectal cancer in the western world, as contrasted with the low incidence in Japan and in rural Africa, suggests that a diet high in refined carbohydrates and beef and low in roughage may be a causative factor.

The risk of large bowel cancer is increased in chronic ulcerative colitis, in diverticulosis, in villous adenomas, and especially in familial polyposos of the colon.

Most lesions of the large bowel are adenocarcinomas; one half arise in the rectum, one fifth in the sigmoid colon, approximately one sixth in the cecum and ascending colon, and the rest in other sites. Rectal tumors may cause pain, bleeding, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation; they metastasize slowly through lymphatic channels and veins, and occasionally prolapse through the anus. Mosbys supra, p. 279

One of the biggest causative factors of colorectal cancer is meat consumption, especially red meat. Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the U.S. According to the C.D.C. (Center For Disease Control) in 2006, 70,270 men and 68,857 women were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. This same year, 26,801 men and 26,395 women died from colorectal cancer.

Colitis

Colitis is an inflammatory condition of the large intestine, either one of the episodic, functional, irritable bowel syndromes or one of the more serious chronic, progressive, inflammatory bowel diseases.

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by bouts of colicky pain and diarrhea or constipation, often resulting from emotional stress. Because individuals with colitis may be irritated by different substances, the diet is individualized to avoid known irritants. Kinds of irritable bowel syndrome are splastic colon and mucous colitis. Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by abscess formation, severe diarrhea, bleeding, and ulceration of the mucosa of the intestine. Weight loss and pain are significant. Kinds of inflammatory bowel disease include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 277

Anytime you have the prefix “itis” you are dealing with inflammation and when there is inflammation, there is unhealthy mucus, and when there is unhealthy mucus, there is acidosis or excess acid and excess acid is the result of consuming acidic products, i.e. animals fats and proteins (meat and dairy products) but also refined carbohydrates: starches, grains.

Diarrhea

Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose, watery stools, generally as the result of increased motility in the colon.

When diarrhea is present, the body (intestinal tract) is quickly attempting to evacuate something. Diarrhea steals water (fluid) from the tissues of the body and thus sodium content in the body is lost. It is very important that when diarrhea is present that you replace sodium and electrolytes. Sea salt is a great source of natural sodium as well as celery (celery juice). You can find an electrolyte solution (e.g. Trace Minerals Electrolytes) on the shelves of good health food stores.

Colic

According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, colic is a sharp visceral pain resulting from torsion, obstruction, or smooth muscle spasm of a hollow or tubular organ. For many infants, grains are a great cause of colic. Infants should not be fed grains for the first two years of life. Their little digestive systems cannot handle grains. The same applies to honey. Honey should not be given for the first two years of life.

Ulcerative colitis

A chronic, episodic, inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum, characterized by profuse watery diarrhea containing varying amounts of blood, mucus, and pus. Also known as Crohn’s disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Mosby’s supra, p. 1208

Diverticulitis

Diverticula are pouch-like herniations in the wall of a tubular organ, such as the intestine or colon. When fecal matter penetrates thin-walled diverticula, it can cause inflammation and abscess formation in the tissues surrounding the colon. With repeated inflammation, the lumen of the colon narrows and may become obstructed. During periods of inflammation, the patient will experience crampy pain, particularly over the sigmoid colon, fever, and leukocytosis. Mosby’s supra, p. 382

Diverticulosis

The presence of pouchlike herniations through the muscular layer of the colon, particularly the sigmoid colon. Diverticulosis affects increasing numbers of people over 50 years of age and may be the result of the modern, highly refined, low-residue diet. Most patients with this condition have few symptoms except for occasional bleeding from the rectum. An increase in the dietary fiber can aid in propelling the feces through the colon. Hemorrhage from bleeding diverticula can become quite severe. Diverticulosis may lead to diverticulitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 382

Hemorrhoid

A variscosity in the lower rectum or anus caused by congestion in the veins of the hemorrhoidal plexus. Mosby’s supra, p. 559

Hemorrhoids result when there is excessive straining during bowel movement in order to propel the feces from the rectum through the anus. This is clearly the result of a high meat, dairy, and other processed foods diet greatly low or lacking in roughage or dietary fiber.

This is why consuming enzymatic foods are a must because enzymes help to stimulate peristalsis. Enzymatic foods are living foods and include fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts (and some grains). Raw foods (fruits, nuts/seeds, and veggies) are loaded with enzymes!

If you are straining while on the toilet, you’re constipated. If you are bleeding from the rectum, chances are you have ulcerative colitis or diverticulosis, and in the worse case scenario, perhaps colorectal cancer.

Coloproctitis

An inflammation of both the colon and rectum. Also called colorectitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 279

This disease clearly suggests that both colon and rectum are inundated with mucus, usually resulting from an acid-forming diet.

Coloptosis

The prolapse or downward displacement of the colon. Mosby’s supra, p. 279

Prolapse of the colon (coloptosis) is very common nowadays considering how impacted people are, especially obese people, and how gravity is still on the scene pulling on our organs, and the colon is no exception here.

Intestinal Parasites and Worms

Parasite and worm infestation could also be the cause of colon diseases and disorders, especially if you consume large concentrations of meat. Known worms of the intestines include intestinal pinworms and tape worms.

Several species of tapeworms, such as Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), and Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm) can cause infection in people.

Parasite and worm infestation is no joke. These little creepy critters can really sabotage your health. It is imperative that people, especially those who consume meat, perform at least one major parasite and worm cleanse (e.g. Dherbs.com Parasite and Worm Cleanse) a year.

The Value of Villi

One of the detriments of a compacted and toxic colon full of hardened fecal matter is that the villi are obstructed. These little shaggy hairs that stick out from the surface of the small intestine absorb nutrients (i.e. vitamins and minerals) from the foods we consume (if we are in fact consuming real food which would naturally contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals).

When the colon is impacted, the villi are obstructed from its designed function. Think about it, even if we are eating something that does contain nutrition (as an exception to what we commonly eat), if the colon walls are impacted with hardened fecal matter, no nutrition will be absorbed via the villi.

When we think about the colon, we also have to think about the villi.

Intestinal Ecology

We must also think about the state of our good bacteria that resides in our colon.

A toxic and impacted colon is probably going to have an imbalance of good and bad bacteria thus leading to yeast infection. A healthy colon is going to have a balanced ratio of good bacteria (probiotics) and bad bacteria, or healthy bacteria and unhealthy bacteria.

You shouldn’t just be concerned with probiotics (acidophilus) after having a colonic performed, but all the time. Intestinal ecology is very important! Yeast infections are not just limited to the vagina of females, but also the blood and the intestines. So colon or intestinal health also takes into consideration the ratio of good and bad bacteria.

Natural Remedies For Intestinal Diseases and Disorders

Weekly enemas
are very helpful for keeping the rectum clean, healthy, and evacuated. These are highly recommended by us at Dherbs.com. Enemas can be performed in the comfort of your own home (bathroom). Enemas are best performed in the morning or in the evening time. Mornings are more ideal in my personal opinion. You can add liquid chlorophyll to your enema water (1-2 ounces), 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide (half an ounce), and/or liquid bentonite clay (1 ounce). For more information on enemas, please read our article “Enemas” in the “articles” section.

Colonics
are even better than enemas. Colonics allow the entire colon to be flushed of toxins, pollutants, old fecal debris, parasites and worms, etc. Colonics can be performed weekly or monthly or perhaps every 3 months. To learn more about colonics, please read our article Colonics in the articles section.

Carnelian water
is a concoction of crystal energy (vibration) and water, basically an elixir. There is no better stone (crystal) to aid in stomach and intestinal complaints than carnelian. This stone can provide fast-acting results when placed directly on the tummy. This is a most ideal stone for females and can be used for stomach complaints as well as female complaints, e.g. abdominal cramping and/or spasms (perhaps during that time of the month). The bigger the piece of Carnelian, the better!

Daily anti-gravity exercise, in addition to colonics and enemas, is a great natural remedy for coloptosis.

Other great exercises that can help to keep your colon optimally healthy and functioning include yoga, Tai chi, and deep breathing to name a few.

Rubbing the belly with warm natural oil (coconut, olive, caster) in a circular motion will help to stimulate the colon and thus bowel movement. This is great to do before performing an enema. Oil in a glass container can be warmed up with hot water (in a sink). Run hot water from the faucet on the bottle for a few minutes and/or let the bottle sit or float in a sink full of hot water for a few minutes (10-15 minutes).

If you follow the foregoing information, you won’t need to take harmful and addictive man-made pharmaceutical drugs such as Ex-lax, Dulc-lax, Kaopectate, Milk of Magnesia, and Pepto-Bismol which all pollute and toxify the liver and blood; nor will you have to undergo or receive a colonoscopy, colostomy, and/or colonic fistula.

By all means, you’d be wise to avoid bulk-forming laxatives, lubricants, stool softeners, saline laxatives, stimulant laxatives and combination medicines. They do harm in the human body and they never knock out the root cause of the problem. Drugs only masquerade!

Dietary Intervention

Diet, a bad or poor one, can really sabotage health, especially colon health. One of the most harmful things a person can do is eat three square meals per day, especially if those three square meals contain or include meat and dairy products.

Did you know that if you eat three meals per day you should be having three bowel movements per day? You should have a bowel movement for every meal you eat and if you don’t, something is wrong.

The best area to start in as far as healing from intestinal diseases and disorders is that of diet. Cut out or greatly cut back on consumption of animal derived products (such as meat and dairy products).

Eat plenty of raw foods [fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts] as they are enzymatic and fiber-rich, which greatly helps with peristalsis (bowel movement).

Eat a big green leafy salad every day or at least 3-4 days per week. This is a great roughage provider. Salad (as other greens and veggies) will sweep the walls of the colon helping to maintain the health and wellbeing of the intestinal tract.

Prunes and figs are great foods and aids for maintaining the health of the colon and ensuring consistent bowel movement. These are highly recommended, perhaps as snack foods.

Prune juice and/or plum juice are considered liquid plumbers. These will get a clogged colon moving again in a short period of time. A cup or half a cup nightly should suffice.

Eliminate refined and processed foods from your diet as much as possible. Refrain from eating a lot of cooked foods. The best-cooked and processed foods to consume are vegan in nature.

Drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice daily (about 4-8 ounces). Invest in a good juicer (i.e. Jack Lalane’s brand, c. $150 in price).

The best water to drink while performing any cleanse (including a colon cleanse) is hands down alkaline water. If you can’t find alkaline water, your next best choices are distilled water and/or spring water. Drink 6-10 glasses of water daily. Water helps keep the body in general and the colon in particular, lubricated.

Aloe vera juice is a great beverage to assist with maintenance of the intestinal tract. It is especially helpful when there are ulcers present, including ulcerative colitis. It is also helpful for coloproctitis. Aloe vera juice is an intestinal tonic.

Colonically Beneficial Herbs

There are a plethora of beneficial therapeutic herbs that help cleanse, repair, tone, fortify, and strengthen the intestinal tract. Laxative (as well as aperient and cathartic) herbs are very important as they help stimulate peristalsis and evacuate the bowels.

Good laxative herbs include Senna Leaf (and Pods), Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, Glucomannan, Bilwa, Bibitaki, Rhubarb, Aloe Vera (resin), Jalap Root, Musta, and Mandrake. These herbs are great for the most severe and stubborn colon problems, especially constipation.

Good colon conditioning herbs include Black Walnut Hull, Chamomile, Goldenseal Root, and Licorice root. These herbs help cleanse and tone the colon.

Good mucous-membrane soothing (mucilaginous) herbs include Slippery Elm Bark, Irish Moss, Agar Agar, Acacia Gum, and Marshmallow. These herbs help soothe an inflamed and irritated colon.

Good carminative and antispasmodic herbs include Fennel Seed, Anise Seed, Cardamom Seed, Caraway Seed, Cinnamon bark, and Ginger 
root. These herbs help calm an upset stomach and counteract indigestion as well as flatulence (gas).

Good fiberous herbs include Pamita, Psyllium Husk, Fennel Seed, Apple Pectin, and vegetable cellulose (technically not an herb). These herbs provide dietary fiber that sweep the walls of the colon and aid in the formation of bulky stools.

To help rid the body of parasites and worms, consume anthelmintic and vermifuge herbs such as Peachtree Bark, Wormwood, Tansy, Betel Nut, Southernwood, Epazote, Pumpkin Seed, Worm Seed, Black Seed, Male Fern and Pink Root.

Senna is a great herb that not only help evacuate the bowels of hardened and stubborn fecal matter but also helps to kill intestinal worms and parasites in the intestines.

To further help get rid of parasites and worms in the intestinal tract, drink pomegranate juice (4 ounces daily for a specific duration or period of time).

In addition to pomegranate juice, consume one tablespoon of olive oil and/or castor oil daily (for a certain period of time) as these oils not only lubricate the colon, but also smother and kill worms and parasites in the colon, especially pinworms.

In all honesty, what we call allopathic and Western medicine started with the ancient Egyptians (also known as the ancient people of Kemet). They used drugs (as well as herbs) but also performed surgery too. They embalmed the dead too after taking out body parts (even removing some parts of the brain via the nose).

Arab Muslims came behind the ancient Egyptians and also added to the enhancement and progression of allopathic medicine.

Islam is the parent to modern day allopathic medicine but allopathy itself (as a modality) is an ancient Egyptian invention.

It is no accident or coincident that the Caduceus of Hermes [Trimegistus], now properly called the Rod of Asclepius (Imhotep), is the symbol of the American Medical Association (AMA).

It is also no accident or coincidence that Western allopathic doctors take an oath to Imhotep under the Greek name of Hippocrates, whom according to some occult circles, never existed as a man, but was the name of a secret order of Greek physicians who healed Europeans of over 400 diseases using secret ancient Egyptian [Kemetic] medical science and knowledge. Even mason Manly P. Hall acknowledges this.

The Western medicine’s pharmacist or pharmacy’s symbol ‘Rx’ (commonly seen on pharmacies) is actually the Western symbol of the Eye of Ra (or Heru) but not as the Sun, but of the Moon. The ancient Egyptians knew to practice horticulture (the art of garden cultivation) around the moon (a topic I cover in my article “Astro-Gardening”).

The moon is the symbol of and actually enhances fertility. This is the reason why the Romans acknowledged the moon in the form of a bunny (or rabbit) pertaining to their fertility season and fertility rituals, the most well known being what Christians call “Easter.”

Easter has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ as a man or figure but has all to do with the moon, the new moon (starting a particular season) in particular. Easter is defined as “the first Sunday after the first full moon of the Vernal Equinox [or Springtime].” This is why Easter is always celebrated on a Sunday regardless if the holiday falls in March or April.

According to Western encyclopedias, Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (in 325 A.D.) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere’s vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on March 21 (regardless of the astronomically correct date), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between March 22 and April 25. Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian Calendar whose March 21 corresponds, during the twenty-first century, to April 3 in the Gregorian Calendar, in which calendar their celebration of Easter therefore varies between April 4 and May 8. (Wikipedia)

Easter is the only Western holiday that never occurs on the same date like with other Western holidays such as Halloween (October 31), Christmas (December 25), and new Year’s (January 1). It is also the only Western holiday that occurs or can occur in two different months (March and April).

Easter has absolutely nothing to do with the mythical resurrection of a man named Jesus who was allegedly God’s son and simultaneously God the father.

Imhotep’s two daughters’ Greek names were Panacea (meaning “all-healer”) and Hygiea (from whence we get the term ‘Hygiene’ meaning “the practice of cleanliness in order to maintain health and prevent disease”).

The ancient Egyptians are the parents of both allopathy and naturopathy.
