Scroll down past the initial information for people doing the Incurables Program to see the herbal goodies. Soon I will be describing each product, it's benefits & uses, and provide informational/supportive links. That is one of the 'ducks' I was hoping to 'get in a row' before the forum was opened - so if you have any questions about ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to post!
The information directly below (above our product/tincture list) is for people interested in doing Dr. Schulzes Incurables Program (or other natural healing protocols from Dr. Schulze/Christopher).
PTB = the Powers That Be - any thing, individual or group of individuals (from simple greed all the way through the centuries-old plans of the New World Order) that have stymied, squelched or denied us access to the truths of natural health and healing.
"Yes Precious, verrrry evil Powers That Be - they pretends to be nices & care about our healthses, but creates dreadful seeds in their laboratories to grow things they call 'food', puts poisonsss in our real foods to make us sick, then makes us eats nasty chemicals for medicine, scorches us with radiation & chemotherapy, saws into our bodies & carves out/off our body partses...and demands we pays them & promises ussss we will be healthy. They lies, Precious, oh yessss they lies, and we hatesses them verrry much."
HFR = Health Freedom Resources http://healthfree.com/index.html, the only place I know of that still offers all the products, tinctures & teas from Dr. Schulzes original formulas (the ones that Dr. Schulze used when in clinical practice - he has since changed many of his formulas). HFR also has some of Dr. Christophers 'originals' (Since Dr. Christopher's death, his children have changed many of his recipes to adapt to pressure from the PTB, and they no longer use organic herbs in most of their products)
IP = Dr. Schulzes "Incurables Program"
SYL - Dr. Schulze "Save Your Life" (the original Incurables Program - originally on 12 VHS tapes with a 650 page manual). The "Save Your Life" course is essential for doing the Incurables Program successfully - it includes Dr. Schulzes instructions for usage of various protocols & herbal products that he no longer makes or discusses on his website
VERY IMPORTANT: If you're going to do the IP, you need both the SYL videos AND the manual.
I cannot say this loudly/strongly enough...YOU NEED THE MANUAL! You cannot successfully complete the IP by just watching the videos!
Occasionally, you can find the full original SYL set on eBay (here's a link to what's currently listed on eBay: http://tinyurl.com/mtl3vl), but most of the listings are for the videos WITHOUT the manual...so be sure to check out the listings completely. Did I mention? You NEED the manual! :::grin:::
The price on eBay can end up ranging anywhere from $50 to over $200.00 (here's a link of what has sold in the last two weeks so you can check out what was available recently and what the final price was: http://tinyurl.com/5lexht )
Our Products
--We accept payment via cash, check, money order. or PayPal. You can get to our Storefront by clicking the Herbal Apothecary link at the top of the forum page or here: http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/StoreFrontProfiles/default.aspx?....
All products are priced as though you will be paying via PayPal (PayPal charges 3% extra) - so if you are not going to use PayPal, simply insert the code: NOPAYPAL into the 'code box' and you will receive a 3% discount.
--All ingredients organic or wildcrafted unless otherwise noted.
--To cut costs, we ship all dry blends & herbal teas in secure plastic bags.
--Everything comes labeled with the ingredients, "typical adult dosage".
--Whenever the word 'cayenne' is used, this is not the typical 40,000 - 80,000 Heat Unit (HU) cayenne used in cooking and found at most grocery & health food stores. This is 'top hot' therapeutic pepper (either African Bird Peppers, Habanero Peppers, or a blend of both) - and the HU rating is around 225,000-350,00 Heat Units.
Dr. Schulzes Original Superfood - 14 ounces - $18.00 (Dr. Schulze no longer makes/offers the Superfood he used when healing people, he's changed the recipe considerably; we don't like it - $30 from HFR)
--one month's worth when taken 2 tablespoons daily for 'basic nutrition'. I've always taken 4 tablespoons daily, and for anyone in 'healing mode' 4 - 6 tablespoons daily is recommended.
--Ingredients: Spirulina, Chlorella, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Alfalfa, Spinach Leaf, Beet Root, Lemon Peel, Orange Peel, Rose Hips & NON-Active Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nutritional Yeast (because it's non-active, this yeast is safe for those dealing with candida or other yeast/fungus issues...and it does NOT contain MSG (feel free to email me for the evidence, if you're interested).
Special Blend - Dr. Schulzes Original Superfood (less nutritional yeast, more nutritional goodies) - 14 ounces - $18.00 (not available elsewhere)
The nutritional yeast is jam-packed with B vitamins & protein - perfect for those with vegan diets and/or juice fasting on the IP. But for those that are still ingesting meat, dairy, eggs (getting B vitamins & protein from the diet), this blend provides more of the nutrition of which normal meat/dairy eaters are not getting enough)
Dr. Schulzes Intestinal Formula #2 - 8 ounces - $12.00 ($24.00 from Schulze - $18.00 from HFR)
--ten days worth when taken 1 heaping teaspoon, five times daily.
--Ingredients (all ground/powdered): Flax seed, Psyllium seed & husk, Pharmaceutical Grade Bentonite Clay, Apple/Fruit Pectin, Activated Willow Charcoal, Marshmallow root, Slippery Elm bark, Peppermint leaf.

--Ingredients (all ground/powdered): Cape Aloe, Turkey Rhubarb, Senna pod/leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Barberry bark, Ginger root, Garlic, 'Cayenne'.
Cayenne/Capsicum Powder approximately 250,000 Scoville Heat Units - 4 ounces - $12.00 ($44.00 from Schulze -$22.00 for 2 ounces- OR $16.00 for 3.5 ounces from HFR. No matter what the stated Scoville Heat Unit range, neither Cayenne Powder is as hot/effective as this blend). An ultra hot blend of 1 part dried Habanero and 3 parts African Bird Pepper (no 'lesser heat filler peppers' like Jalapenos). Our supply of this is always limited as dried organic Habanero peppers are almost impossible to find, and the cost is around $40 per pound when we do find them. The 'grind' may be a bit coarser than a 'powder', as we sometimes grind whole dried African Bird Peppers for this blend in our Vitamix.
Kidney/Bladder Tea - 4 ounces - $12.00 ($18.00 from Schulze; $16.00 for 3.5 ounces from HFR)

Tinctures
--All Tinctures are $18.00 for a 2 ounce bottle or $30 for a 4 ounce bottle (compare at $28 for 2 oz retail/Schulze)
--All tinctures are made with organic or wildcrafted herbs. If we use wildcrafted herbs that we harvest ourselves, the herbs are soaked in a strong solution of bentonite clay and RO filtered water to absorb any chemical toxins to which they may have been exposed. They are tinctured in 100 proof alcohol. Lobelia is tinctured in organic, raw apple cider vinegar & 100 proof alcohol.
--All tinctures are "whole herb" tinctures - NEVER 'standardized' or isolated extracts!
Standarized Extracts/Herbs - Dr. Schulze
http://home.roadrunner.com/~thadson/savelife/schulze/articles/06curedisaster4...
--If you have concerns with consuming alcohol, please read this: http://healingtools.tripod.com/alctinc.html
--As many of you are aware, the quality and strength of herbal tinctures on the market is dismal.
Herbal Formulas that don't work
http://curezone.com/schulze/herbal_news_herbal_formulas.asp
90-95% of all tinctures available on the commercial market are made using toxic, overdried, non-organic herbs that are imported from third world countries (that still use the most volatile of pesticides, including DDT, and chemical fertilizers); they are not harvested correctly (picking the wrong parts of plants during the wrong part of their growing cycle), and then they are irradiated or sprayed with more pesticides when they cross the border. When commercial products are made, (whether using organic herbs or not), rarely is the herb 'in the tincture bottle/process' for any significant length of time. (I have read of companies that make tinctures that put the dried herbs in a filter basket, pour alcohol over them, and then press the dampened herbs and call that a tincture. If they repeat the process, they call that a double tincture :::sigh:::). According to what Dr. Schulze has written, we assume Dr. Schulze and HFR tincture for the two week minimum, but due to the financial constraints of all commercial suppliers, two weeks is generally the maximum time as herb is tinctured.
We never harvest a tincture before the two-week minimum, and we do our best to allow ours to tincture for several months before we harvest/press any of them.
Herbs to alcohol ratio: The highest quality tinctures on the market currently use a ratio of 4 parts alcohol to 1 herb. (I can find nothing to indicate the ratio currently used by Schulze/HFR). What this means is that once the herbs have absorbed the alcohol, when one looks at the full jar, the bottom fourth would be herbs and the top 3/4 of the jar would be the alcohol 'floating' on the top. Christopher/Schulze (and all the old herbalists) generally made tinctures with 2 parts alcohol to 1 part herb ratio...so the jar would be 1/2 alcohol, 1/2 herb. All our tinctures are that ratio at the very minimum. The majority of our tinctures are 3 parts herb to one part alcohol or better...so the final tincture jar is 2/3-3/4 herb with only a few inches of alcohol floating on the top.
--All our tinctures are made in accordance with the moon cycles. Tinctures are started on the New Moon and harvested (pressed) on the Full moon (or within a few days of each). We attempt to estimate how much of each tincture we may be need in the following month and leave the rest in the main tincture jars to continue tincturing. Occasionally we estimate incorrectly and need to press/harvest 'off' the moon cycle. We feel the additional time spent in the tincture jar balances out the 'off moon harvest'. If that is not acceptable to you, please let us know (as we understand completely), and I will notate that in your records.
*Bonus Step* (for creating even more effective tinctures): Once the herbs have been soaking in the alcohol for a few days (and have absorbed all the alcohol they can possibly absorb), we put the herb/alcohol mixture into the VitaMix and thoroughly macerate/pulverize the herbs.. In the case of hard roots, seeds, and dried berries we consider this to be essential for an effective tincture, as it's necessary to 'open up' the herb so that all the 'healing goodies' can be exposed/absorbed into the alcohol. Sadly, we know of NO commercial seller that takes the time to do this.
Dr. Schulze always says that any tincture you make at home is FAR better than anything you can buy on the market. We've tested most of our tinctures against Dr. Schulzes and those from Health Freedom Resources (because we had quite a few of theirs before we started making our own), and in EVERY case, those that we have made are substantially stronger than those we purchased.
Adrenal Formula - Dr. Christopher
Ingredients - Mullein leaf/flower; Lobelia seed/pod/herb; Eleuthero (aka Siberian Ginseng); Gotu Kola; Hawthorn berry; Ginger root; Cayenne
The levels & severity of adrenal issues we see now are much 'stronger' than in Dr. Christopher's era, so we have a small amount of this formula in it's 'original' form, but we also have it that contains double the Mullein, Eleuthero & Gotu Kola (the herbs with the most direct effect on the adrenal glands)
B & B Formula/Tincture - Dr. Chistopher/Schulze
Ingredients: Blue Cohosh; Black Cohosh; Blue Vervain; Skullcap; Lobelia
Dr. Schulze added Skunk Cabbage, and we have Skunk Cabbage tincture we can add if you'd like - no extra charge
BF&C (Bone, Flesh & Cartilage Restore) Tincture - Dr. Chistopher
--Ingredients: White Oak bark; Marshmallow root; Mullein leaf; Wormwood; Lobelia; Skullcap; Comfrey root; Walnut leaf; Gravel root.
Brain Formula - Dr. Schulze
--Ingredients: Ginkgo Biloba; Rosemary; Gotu Kola; Calamus; Kola Nut & Cayenne
Blood DeTox Tincture - Dr. Schulze
--Ingredients: Chaparral; Red Clover blossoms; Oregon Grape root; Yellow Dock root; Golden Seal root; Poke root; Burdock root; Lobelia seed/pod/herb; Garlic; Cayenne
Cayenne/Capsicum #1 Made with 95% RAW Habanero Peppers (and for 'synergy' & color, a few organic dried Habaneros & African Bird Peppers). This tincture is amazing. Although it doesn't seem as hot as some 'top hot' tinctures, those that are very experienced using 'therapeutic cayenne' have tested it and found it to be more effective and 'opening' that tinctures that feel 'hotter'.
Cayenne/Capsicum #2 This tincture started as equal parts Cayenne Tincture #1 and 100 proof alcohol, added to dried African Bird Peppers. It is VERY hot & effective.
Cayenne/Capsicum #3 HOLY MOLY - this one is NOT for "cayenne newbies"! This tincture is made from dried Habaneros & dried African Bird Peppers...and you will know that you're alive after you take some! Also - the flavor of this one is superb. Almost everyone that's tried it has mentioned it.
Echinacea - equal parts fresh Echinacea Purpurea Root and dried Echinacea Angustifolia Roots. There is no Garlic, Cayenne, or Pau d'Arco in this tincture like Dr. Schulze puts in his Echinacea Plus. (We made it that way for folks that don't want/like the Cayenne/Garlic...especially those that use it for children; the Pau d'Arco is not nearly as effective for immune stimulation as the Echinacea). If you'd like us to add any of the ingredients, we'll be happy to - no extra charge. (if Dr. Schulze/Christopher would have known the current research on the efficacy of Echinacea for cancer, I am sure he would have had everybody on the Incurables Program taking it every day in far larger dosages than they recommended then. Research shows that macrophages are our first line of defense against cancer, and Echinacea increases macrophage production. If you'd like links to some of the current research, please let me know).
Eyebright Formula/Tincture - Dr. Schulze/Dr. Christopher
--Ingredients: Bayberry bark; Eyebright herb; Goldenseal; Red Raspberry leaf; Cayenne
Schulze uses substantially more Cayenne than Christopher did - and while it is VERY effective with the stronger cayenne, most people try it once or twice, and end up not using it all because they won't/can't take the time to acclimate to the 'burn' --which does lessen substantially with continued use--. So we've made this formula with Dr. Christopher's "cayenne level"...but if you want it with Dr. Schulzes "cayenne level" we'll gladly add the extra cayenne here (or send it 'on the side' for you to add). Also note, this is Dr. Christopher's original formula, which Dr. Schulze used in the SYL manual. Dr. Schulze has now changed his formula.
Female Tonic Formula - Dr. Schulze (this was also used occasionally by Dr. Schulze for men for hormone & endocrine balance)
--Ingredients: Dong Quai root; Wild Yam root; Chaste Tree/Vitex berries; Damiama Leaf, Licorice root & Hops flowers
Glandular Formula/Tincture - Dr. Christopher
--Ingredients: Mullein & Lobelia
Herbal Calcium/Tincture - Dr. Christopher
--Ingredients: Horsetail grass; Oat straw; Comfrey root; Lobelia
Kidney/Bladder Tincture - Dr. Schulze
--Ingredients: Juniper berries; Uva Ursi; Cornsilk, Horsetail Grass; Pipsissewa leaf; Burdock root; Goldenrod; Parsley root
Liver/GB Tincture - Dr. Schulze
--Ingredients: Milk Thistle seed; Dandelion root & leaf; Oregon Grape root; Gentian root; Wormwood; Black Walnut hull; Ginger root; Garlic & Fennel seed
Lung & Bronchial Formula - Dr. Christopher

Nerve Regeneration/Restore Formula - Dr. Schulze (with or without Ephedra)
--Ingredients: Skullcap; Oat seed/tops; St. John's Wort; Celery Seed; Lavender flowers; Coffee bean (unroasted); Kola nut; Ephedra. We made this tincture without Ephedra for those that might not want it, but we have Ephedra tincture we can add.
Nerve Sedative - Dr. Schulze
--Ingredients: Valerian root; Lobelia, Passion Flower, Hops flowers; Black Cohosh; Blue Cohosh, Skullcap & Wild Yam
Pancreas Formula/Tincture - Dr. Christopher
--Ingredients: Cedar berries; Uva Ursi; Licorice root; Mullein; Cayenne; Goldenseal
Parasite Blend (aka UnyWorm) -
--Ingredients: Black Walnut Green Leaves, Green Male Buds, Green young twigs, hull; Wormwood, Cloves, Pumpkin seeds, Fennel seeds, Ginger root, Thyme, Tansy, Hyssop.
(in apple cider vinegar, distilled water, vegetable glycerine & alcohol)
St. John's Wort - St. John's is not only very effective for mood disorders, but it's also fantastic for the muscles, a strong anti-viral (extremely good for herpes/shingles) and helpful for menopausal issues.

OILS
All of our oils are made in a base of 100% organic coconut oil, no beeswax to clog pores. To make an herbal oil, we combine the herbs and put them in a jar and add coconut oil. The jar/s are place in a food dehydrator at about 105 degrees for 16 hours a day for two weeks (minimum) and shaken twice daily. The process for making oils is much more time consuming & costly, and they yield consistently less than tinctures, so the prices are a bit higher than the tinctures.

Hey there!
I am here to tell one and all that your cayenne tincture is great stuff!
OK, I have one for you. Three weekends ago I somehow managed to tweak/strain my back. The result has been pain in the very bottom part of my spine which ultimately also moved to the right hip/buttocks area and then down the leg to where my right foot has sharp pains. Not much numbness but it still sees like pretty classic sciatica. There is no position now, sitting or lying down which is comfortable. Actually, standing up is less uncomfortable than just about any other position. The normal relief position of lying flat on my back with several pillows elevating the lower legs provides limited relief too.
I have pretty much exhausted the things I know to do, including glucosamine, chondroitin, msm, collagen, aloe, silica and GTF chromium, menthol back creme, blue emu oil creme, and back stretching exercises. Normally I can beat a sore or strained back. Not this time. It has been over two weeks now and it is giving me holy hell - I cannot even sit at the computer for more than fairly brief stretches. Any suggestions? Perhaps some herbs with steriodal type qualities or a Dr. Christopher bone, skin and flesh type product internally and externally? I just got a bottle of capsaicin creme. Maybe that will provide a bit of relief??
Tony
You know, the weekend before I began to have problems there was a couple of incidences that happened that I have been thinking may have been largely to blame - one involving heavy lifting and the other involving a jolt to the spinal column during an ATV ride. And a couple of weeks prior to that there was another heavy lifting incident which momentarily tweaked my back but subsided for the most part.
As a result, I did not strongly consider the colon/sciatic nerve connection though it was in the back of my mind. Now it is in the forefront because I also have an indirect inquinal hernia on the same side and it has gotten worse. While the jolts and lifts may have tweaked my back, I fear that the major problem may be that they worsened the hernia. In which case I may have no choice but to pursue a mainstream repair procedure at some point. I don't think anything can repair such a condition except surgery - though perhaps the problem can be alleviated to the point that surgery can be postponed??
Sorry I did not include that information earlier, but I thought I was looking at two separate problems.
Tony
I appreciate all the good advice and great intentions, but sometimes there are situations involving injuries and traumas that cannot be completely addressed by alternative healing - though surely I will embrace things that might help.
Of course I do not WANT to undergo surgery, but repairing broken and damaged parts is what mainstream medicine does best, along with diagnostics (it is when they take out the prescription pads or do just about any mainstream treatment for cancer that things go terrible wrong in most instances).
Maybe you should read up on "indirect inquinal hernia" (in my case it may be a form of indirect inguinal hernia called "sciatic hernia")? I have, and as far as I can find, it is not fixable by any herbs, tinctures, supplements, exercise, chiro, or anything else other than surgery. Indirect inquinal hernia is a condition where part of the intestine descends past the abdomen, usually through the opening where the male testes descended back in the early formative stage of life. The problem initially is not healing the weakened and/or torn opening (that comes later), it is getting the intestine back into place and I have never heard or found where you can do that without surgery.
What my hopes had been were to limit the extent of the hernia, exercise caution and strengthen myself in such a way that it might not get much worse for a good long time. None of that has happened. It is getting worse, perhaps due to some incaution on my part, and I feel pretty sure that at least a good part of my sciatica is due to the pressure it is causing.
Perhaps it is possible to somehow relieve the pressure somewhat - but I am rather limited in what I can do. Most excercises risk aggravating it further and, though it might be advantageous to lose some of my extra pounds (I am about 205 and 6'!' - far from obese but not nearly as flat of an abdomen as I should have), have a better diet and flush things out, in the end there will almost surely have to be a medical procedure.
BTW, I have a feeling you are not terribly familiar with me yet.

Welcome to CureZone - I can see that you are going to be quite the enthusiastic and valued helper for our friend Unyquity.
Tony Isaacs (aka DQ, aka Dquixote121)
Thanks for all the great info. Here is my concern: The very nature of the hernia is that it has descended beneath the abdomen through a tear or weakened opening. I can feel it between the very top of my inner leg and pelvic area. Now, it has gravity and the rest of my stomach pressing it from above as well as the opening squeezing it. Imagine a water balloon squeezed through a small opening. It constricts as it goes through the opening but then spreads out once through - making it easy to force more of it through from above with strain from physical strain, poor posture (yep, the computer desk), a too full stomach, etc. But how do you get it back through the opening? Hang upside down like a bat? If that were somehow possible, then perhaps the torn/weakened area could be repaired and/or strengthened.
I am not trying to be a naysayer, just saying that from what I understand about the physiology of the injury the task seems very daunting.
