I thought this was going to be simple but of course it did not end up that way. I thought it was best to leave the post as a whole and let you answer it all when you can. I also left in all the original information, I thought it might be less confusing. While you work on this, I will begin to order some of the other things I need to get so I can be prepared when I get all your stuff. I am sorry for once again asking so many questions. I do feel bad for taking up so much of your time. I had hoped to not have to ask so much of you again but it did not turn out that way. I have tried to research what I could and tried to keep it as simple as possible. Hopefully this will be the last round before I place my big order! This is certainly becoming the longest post ever! I am hoping that it will not take up too much of your time to answer. My questions/comments are in green.

Please don't ever be sorry for "asking so many questions"! I'm sure you realize just how many questions I have answered by pointing you to posts I've answered before, right? (right!). If those people wouldn't have asked those questions, then they wouldn't have learned (and the hundreds that have read them wouldn't have either). Just wait'll you see how many 'hits' there are on these 'questions & answers' of yours in 6 months (and how many times I use the answers I've given you, to answer someone else). You and your questions are ADDING to the healing information on this forum!

I have looked into your info as well as stuff on the forum and I am still researching. I would like to change my water but I am just not sure that is a change I can do right now. First, I do not know that I could afford to purchase a distiller on top of everything else right now. I am buying a lot from you, other companies and then in addition possibly new juicer. As I have said I am unemployed right now and only have a bit of money to spare. I do want to invest in my heath and that is why I am committed to spending all of this but there is only so much I can do. In addition, I live in a small apartment and I just do not know if there is room for a countertop distiller with everything else such as the juicer the blender etc. I looked at publix today to see what they had and the cost. They have Zephyrhills Distilled Water $1.19.gallon and Zephyrhills Spring Water $2.99 for 2.5 gallons. If I am to drink ½ gallon a day (60 oz) and that does not include extra water for juices etc. it is probably about 3 gallons/week, right? My question is how urgent is it that I change my water and not use the Brita? Just wondering if this is something I really need to find a way to do. Also is the Spring Water okay or does it need to be distilled?

I realize how much you're investing in all this (and how tough it is to prioritize it all on a limited budget). But pure water isn't something on which we can cut corner; it needs to be distilled or reverse osmosis filtered to be free of poisons. This really is imperative. Remember all the information about 'rock minerals' and all the negative effects? Spring water is LOADED with rock minerals :( Our water shouldn't be the source of nutrition - it's for hydration. In fact, I recently found this regarding distilled water: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1697664#i   I think you'll definitely want to add it to your 'water research'.

Here's a sweet lil' tidbit for you to consider. Someone (that wishes to remain anonymous) emailed me yesterday, and let me know that they'd be willing to "gift you" $100 toward a distiller if you decide to get one! I realize your shelf/counter space is very limited, but there are small distillers that are about the size of a coffee maker...and if you don't want one of those, you can always get a regular sized one and put it on the floor someplace (and just put it up on the counter whenever you want to use it). And yes, there really are still people in this world that care about others with more than just platitudes and "talking the talk" (and applaud your obvious sincerity and efforts to learn!). Many times I'm humbled to have been entrusted with this forum (and to have met and been a part of the lives of so many, truly good people)!   Let me know what you decide, and we'll take care of the details (the person can PayPal me the money and then I can PayPal it to you...or after I have the money & your order, I can deduct $100 from your invoice...whatever works best for you).

Also, I realize this doesn't make any difference to the 'bottom line' of your checkbook, but it might cause you to feel "richer" if you realized the money you're saving, while still gaining the same healing benefits of purchasing equivalent products "retail" - there's a cost comparison in this post: The "wholesale" and "discount/affiliate" inquiries we're getting. (edit)

When you say to “please feel free to 'remineralize & re-energize it' by adding a tablespoon or two of something like organic brown rice” do you mean just put some uncooked rice in the jug?

Yep, or anything similar to what I mention in the above link. Actually, even swirling your hands around in it will help to re-energize it.

You will see health benefits with any length of juice-fasting (assuming you do your best to ingest a full gallon of juice daily, and it's not an imbalanced selection)You said “, and it's not an imbalanced selection’ what does that mean? Is it using more fruit than vegetables?

I mean something like mono-juice fasting (particularly something like orange-juice fasting). Dr. Christopher's original IP was one week on carrot juice, one week on grape juice and another week on apple juice BUT the amount of nutritional herbs ingested was very substantial (and his IP included daily full body massages, rotating wheat germ, olive & castor oils...yes, we do 'assimilate nutrition' from what we massage into our skin).

To be honest I am not sure what “symptoms” I have but I do see issues that they state can come from Candida.

However, there are many other 'root causes' that have many of the same symptoms

Exactly! Over the years I have seen that my “issues” could be caused by so many root issues, the last being the Candida.

Depending upon the 'level' of the overgrowth, people typically "know" they have this issue because ingesting "sugar" causes various symptoms to exacerbate quickly (sometimes within a few minutes).

Can’t say I have necessarily seen this in myself but it is hard to tell when generally you do not feel well almost all of the time.

And that reminds me to ask, where exactly in your colon was the perforation/issue that required surgery?

To be honest I am not exactly sure. I know the surgeon discussed it with me but I was pretty out of it and later I did not think it really mattered. I was not into knowing the exact location too much at the time! Here are some things I found on the surgical notes. I think these may help to explain where it was done and some other info that might be helpful. It states I had a “hartmann procedure for perforated sigmoid diverticulum.”, also “perforated sigmoiddiverticulitis with contamination and excessive amount of stool in left colon.”, and “The biggest problem is that the entire colon was full of very thick hard stool”. In the surgeons notes on what he did/saw it states “we could see a thickened area of the sigmoid colon with the firm area there appeared to be perforation….the left colon itself was full if very hard stool…”This was one of the reason I had a colonoscopy bag, the surgeon had to get out of there quick so I did not go septic. I think I recall they took out 3 inches the first time and then a little more the second time when they put it all back together.

I moved the section up about your surgery because it goes hand in hand with candida/other issues, and because I want to add some 'thinks & thoughts' that are integral to the rest of the post.

Thank you for providing that information - it's very integral (and helpful).

First, let me say (after researching this procedure and now knowing better what caused you to have to have it)...Seriously, you are truly blessed that they were able to undo the colostomy and that you're functioning as well as you are! It appears that a solid 2/3 (or more) of the people that have this procedure are stuck with a colostomy bag for the rest of their life...and the mortality rate for Hartmann procedure is very high (especially when there's been a perforation). I also see a LOT of medical sites that say a colonoscopy is considered unsafe when there is a suspected inflammation/perforation of the colon (colonoscopies have a solid risk factor of causing a perforation, even when someone is NOT compromised).

I have two further questions--

-- what were you advised to do and/or how to alter your diet in order to resolve the problem and ensure you wouldn't end up having continuing issues?

--what symptoms were you having that led you to seek medical attention/intervention?

To learn more, here is a general Google search on "Hartmann +diverticulosis OR diverticulitis OR diverticuli": http://tinyurl.com/2g7lwf4

As you're aware, when we have a build-up of hardened, impacted fecal matter substantial enough to cause severe diverticulitis/osis and perforation, it's definitely a health-threatening situation (if not life-threatening). What I don't know for sure if you're aware of is, that cutting out a few inches from a tube that's around 6 feet in length did nothing to ensure the remaining 5 1/2 feet aren't just as seriously impacted. My desire is not to 'scare you', but rather clarify the situation and let you know that doctors are notorious for this type of 'information omission'. We see this same premise in open heart surgery due to veins/arteries impacted with build-up...they go in and either 'scrape out' or 'cut out' the veins around the heart, but several years later the person is back on the table having more chopped out. Why? Because it's wasn't ONLY the arteries around the heart that were clogged, it was ALL of them...and cutting out a few inches did absolutely nothing to ensure they're not going to clog up again.

From a retired surgeon's blog: In the US, more than a third -- maybe half -- of people over fifty have at least a few diverticula. Most never know it. For some, it becomes a problem. Unusual in someone his age, Ken Griffey's diverticulitis is likely, according to the odds, to be a recurring problem. Instead of the occasional pocket here and there, I'm guessing his colon shows the typical sawtooth pattern of extensive diverticulosis. (Terminology time: having diverticula is called "diverticulosis, not in and of itself always a problem. Having an infected diverticulum is "diverticulitis. A problem.)

Diverticulosis is not a normal part of aging (although in the last century it's gone from virtually no one having it to virtually everyone having it...just like cancer). Our bodies are truly phenomenal at healing and regenerating themselves when (especially when we give them the correct assistance); and I have no doubt that you are going to be able to reverse this situation (and prevent the tumors/cancer that so commonly comes next). But I want to make sure and note that this isn't likely to be a "quick fix" (as in a month or two), but you'll likely make INCREDIBLE progress in the first couple of months (and be quite amazed at the amount of debris you expel).

It's not just a matter of getting out the hardened impaction and debris (although that IS imperative). We also need to restore elasticity and peristalsis...and ensure strong colonization of all the beneficial microorganisms.

Methinks you'll likely be "outta the weeds" in a couple of months, for sure! As far as a candida overgrowth (and parasites) - with what the surgeon reports, it'd be almost impossible for their not to be both.

On this issue, I'm a bit of a "renegade" (in comparison to the "traditional" recommendations). Thinking out loud: Too much healthy, organic fruit (if there is such a thing as 'too much') is not the cause of Candida overgrowth, so how does "too little" healthy organic fruit cure it? I can't see any evidence it does. I see evidence & reports that too much sugar (particularly processed sugar) triggers symptoms and worsens the symptoms...but does too much natural sugar in the form of healthy organic fruit actually increase the problem? I do not know.

Exactly what I wonder, is there such a thing as too much healthy organic fruit? I do not know either. I think I am leaning toward “no” at least for now.

I'm leaning with you :) Obviously we can become 'obsessive & out of balance' with anything (even when it's healthy). But even Nature has it's 'seasons'. If we were 100% 'natural' (here in the midwest), we'd 'gorge' on fruits & berries in the summer and 'starve' in the winter...and I'm pretty sure our natural bodies can adapt to the 'seasons' quite satisfactorily. There's a very logical order to things (very simple if we only took the time to think about it).

Our doctor within knows what we need, but we can't hear (or incorrectly interpret) that voice for many different reasons...what we have to do is 'clear the channels' and learn/remember how to listen (and respect) our inner voice & wisdom. The first thing we have to do is eliminate the chemicals/poisons that alter our perception and normal bodily functions (which really do alter our emotions & thought processes); next is cleansing away the debris & congestion caused from our bodies running on overdrive for decades without any maintenance...while providing our bodies with truly wholesome & natural fuel, of course. With each step of the journey, our inner voice becomes louder and more obvious - and that only stands to reason, eh? We are a 'triunity' (physical body, soul/mind/emotion, and spirit); it's impossible to separate them and it's also impossible that they don't affect each other. We all know that if we 'cleanse and nourish' our emotions & mind, our physical body will be healthier. And most know that if we're spiritually impoverished, our body and emotions will suffer. But it's not all that popular to discuss how the state of our physical body can negatively impact our ability to learn, our discernment, and even our spiritual well-being. Perhaps that's because the self-discipline required to change our lifestyles and diet takes MUCH more effort than what most folks are willing to expend (?) :)

Either way, the more you cleanse & restore and the more naturally & completely you nourish your body, the clearer & clearer your discernment will become. And instead of 'questioning & stressing' over food choices and 'when & how much' to do or take of an herb or a cleansing protocol, you'll have a 'knowingness' that will become stronger and more 'trustworthy'. Progress IS a process...and it never ceases to amaze me just how much more I am "in tune" with myself after each cleanse and/or juice fast. It's downright 'groovy' if you ask me! :::grin:::

If you have 'sugar reactions' from healthy organic fruit juices, then I suggest ingesting only limited amounts (and that they be diluted a bit more than the others that don't trigger symptoms). This is particularly imperative for any/all types of 'sugar sensitivity' issues: "Drink your solids and chew your juices":) Re: Chewing food 24 times?

I went to the store today and bought a bunch of fruit for both smoothies, and eating. I got grapes, apples, berries etc. I find when I am not eating fruit I will eat other stuff that is bad for me that my Mom has around because I am craving the sweetness or the crunch. I figure that fruit is much better than processed foods and sweets which I normally never eat but I think removing the fruit has lead me to it which is very bad!

There ya go - that's 100% 'sound logic' to me! When we first started cleansing and restoring our bodies, the first thing we did was 'clean out the kitchen' and ditch ALL toxic food...and replace it with it's "organic" equivalent. I had a 'cookies & ice cream' habit (every night while reading before I went to sleep). I replaced it with organic ice cream and the yummiest granola I could find. 100% healthy? Nope. 100% better? ABSOLUTELY!   If you can stay away from processed food by eating healthy fruit, that's 100% better than eating processed food...and anytime we can make that kind of progress in one step, that's 100% fantastic!

So you might have to take more of a pharmaceutical to get the same effect if you have a lot activated charcoal in your digestive tract (so you might want to consider waiting to add it until you've seen whether the herbs are going to knock-out or lessen your migraine pain). The small amount that's in the IF#2 isn't typically enough to do this. But if someone is weaning off a highly addictive drug, the charcoal/bentonite in the IF#2 can adsorb enough to be noticeable.

How much would I add to the IF#2? I typically recommend 1 teaspoon of charcoal with each dose of IF#2 for those that choose to add it. Folks with cancer and 'serious detoxers' sometimes take up to 1/2 cup a day (8 Tablespoons). Charcoal can be a 'wee bit' constipating (not nearly as much as 'teaspoons' of bentonite clay), so if you want to start at 1/2 teaspoon doses, there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

You said “No fiber, no poopy (or very little)”. This is what I thought. So I am curious how you get ““poopy” (fiber) when you do a juice fast? Is it from the IF#2 pills?

Yes, we get the fiber we need from the IF#2 when juice fasting, but it's not in pills, it's a powder we mix with juice. It's virtually tasteless, so it just tastes like 'heavy juice' :) When I'm juicing and using IF#2, I typically just grab a jar of juice and drink enough to leave about 1 1/2 - 2" of juice in the bottom of the jar...then I add my heaping tablespoon of IF#2 (I do tablespoons instead of teaspoons), put the lid on the jar, shake it, and chug it down. Then use the same jar for the water afterwards (that way I get 'all the goody' that sticks to the inside of the jar AND the jar gets rinsed out at the same time! :)

Tip? If you don't like 'scrubbing', never leave a jar that you've mixed IF#2 in 'unrinsed' in the sink to dry! :)

Another question - I remember you mentioning 'massages', and I'd expect you've consulted a chiropractor regarding the migraines. Yes/no? If yes, what was recommended and what was done?

I have tried a chiropractor several times on and off thru the years. To be honest I never saw a great relief and always felt it would be something I would have to do the rest of my life. At times the adjustments even made the pain worse. The best thing I found was when I was able to do frequent massage. There was a time when my insurance paid for it and at first I was going weekly a sometimes 2x week. It was incredible. Greatly reduced my pain issues and my migraines. Sadly no w insurance does not pay for it and I cannot afford it

Well then, that pretty much tells us that the migraines aren't a 'spinal alignment' issue - and it tells us what we can do. As far as topically, the castor oil and Deep Tissue Repair oil are definitely the way to go there. And even without a 'massage' you can get incredible muscle relaxation and relief with foot reflexology...and that's something that we can do ourselves (that's easy & FREE! yay! And it might provide a goodly measure of relief for the migraines, too! double yay!) Here's the foot reflexology chart if I haven't given you the link before: Reflexology foot map - Dorling Kindersley

All you do is find the spot your foot that correlates with the area/organ that needs relaxing or healing and then 'dig in deep' (with your thumb and/or knuckles). It'll wear you out if you use your thumbs, so most folks use something that's sturdy, but rounded on the end (I use the pestle from a mortar and pestle), but before I 'discovered' that, I used the rounded end of an old wooden spoon.

Always be creative - initially you'd think there's no way to do a 'castor oil pack' on your tense neck & shoulders, but all it takes is a little creativity. An old cotton turtleneck from a thrift store that's a size or two 'too small' will work beautifully; just cut off the sleeves and the bottom, drench it in castor oil, wring it out, put it on and bingo...all you have to do then is maybe put a sweatshirt on over it, and then slip into a garbage bag (to protect the sheets/covers from the oil), cuddle up with a hot water bottle and you're good for the night....and you WILL feel better the next morning! Castor oil "packs" can be reused dozens (if not hundreds) of times - just keep it in a plastic bag and add more oil when you sense it needs more. I've got a pair of cotton socks I keep in a plastic bag on my dresser (overnight 'castor oil socks' will take 'years off your feet' :)

Yup I certainly am brainwashed but looking forward to getting it all from natural sources. I just was not sure if there was anything I needed to add that was not gotten from the food. It seems from Superfood and other things I should be getting all that I need.

If you ever have the time to "analyze it all", it's really amazingly - the Superfood, juices & mineral broth basically more than cover it...but when you add in the cayenne, garlic, slippery elm, olive oil, wheat germ oil and the nutrition of the various herbs in the tinctures and other blends, it's WAY over the top :)

The UnyWorm dry herbs (to mix into 3 of the 5 doses of IF#2) are very effective, and when you combine that with the ACV, raw garlic & cayenne, you've actually got a great 'parasite regime' even without the UnyWorm liquid (especially since you'll be using plenty of Cayenne powder). Since you don't have a 'known' parasite issue, I suggest getting 30 days worth of the UnyWorm dry/ground herbs, and if you end up seeing something other than liver flukes (which the garlic will kill all by itself), then you can go ahead and order/add the UnyWorm liquid. There's really no need to spend the extra money on the liquid when the dry herbs and cayenne/garlic are more than effective enough to 'show them up'.

Since I add this in 3 of the 5 doses of IF#2 would it be best to do the morning, lunch and dinner doses?

Yeppers, unless we're "rescue dosing" or "spot dosing" (like for the migraines), you can assume spacing out doses so that we keep a steady level in our intestines/bloodstream is optimal.

On one of your links I read that you said “…and if you do a parasite cleanse without doing a daily coffee enema (to get the rotting worms out of your liver), you can expect to experience all manner of liver cramping, aching, pain, digestive disturbance, gas, bloating.”. If I am doing a parasite cleanse for 30 days does this mean I need to do a daily coffee enema for 30 days?

It's always best to do a daily CE when doing any type of detoxification or cleansing - our liver needs the support whether it's got liver flukes or not. I know, I know (I really do know!), but it won't be long until you're wishing you had the time to do 2 daily :)

Not everyone that has liver flukes and starts killing them (without doing CE's or liver flushing) experiences all the negatives. But the dead bodies DO lessen flow and for those that are already compromised, this can cause more symptoms. And even if it doesn't cause symptoms, who in the world would want dead worm carcasses rotting in their liver if they didn't have to have them there? Ack. Not me, that's for sure

Would it be possible to wait until I get all the supplies I need for making Kefir for you to mail the grains? I just did not know it is okay to leave them unprepared for too long? I need to get the sugars, bottles etc

They're dehydrated, so all you have to do with them when you get them is put them in a lil' jar :)

Azure thought I might try Neshaminy Valley since they are closer and might not take as long to ship. Have you had any experience with them? I was not able to reach them by phone. I am also trying to see if I have any local options.

'Never heard of them (until just now)...but a quick search on the 'net yielded a few happy customers. They seem like a very legitimate company to me.

You likely have a LOT of local options - if you don't know of any, here's a grea place to start searching: Local Harvest / Farmers Markets / Family Farms / CSA / Organic Food

The prices seem great at Azure but I have to see what I have room to keep and what is good to ship. They told me it would be best to order on a Friday, it would ship on Monday and get to me via UPS around Friday. As I have explained I live with my Mom and I do not have a lot of kitchen/fridge room so I am limited to what I can order in bulk. I am trying to figure out what sort of things I might order as far as produce/veggies that do not have to be refrigerated. Also trying to figure out an idea of how much of everything I might need. I know when I get to the juice fasting it would be very beneficial to have it in bulk. I do not know how long it will take me until I start the juice fast but it might happen pretty quickly so I am trying to get everything on hand that I could and it the least expensive possible.

I'm sure you'll get it all figured out...and it'll be much smoother after the first couple of weeks when you know what you're actually dealing with. And it's NOT going to "blow it" if you're not "persnickety perfect" (I promise). There's always various options that you might make work... a big cooler somewhere there's a bit of extra floor space? a mini-fridge (I know your budget/space is extremely limited especially for 'big stuff', but we just got a 'mini fridge' that's actually very big from walmart.com for around $140 - and it's been a life saver because we put it right where we had a huge stack of canning jars - and put the canning jars on top of it...yay!). And be sure to check Craigslist for things like that - you'll never know what you'll find (sometimes for amazingly cheap prices, or even free). If something like that's just not do-able, start checking the local farmer's market schedules and balance those out with various 'bulk produce' purchases & deliveries to make sure you have enough space. And if you can't make an extended juice-fast work, then remember...if you juice-fast in 3-day segments that's 100% better for those 3 days than not juice fasting.

You said you don’t have “any produce shipped in the 'heat of the summer' or the 'freeze of the winter'”. I am in Florida where it is in the high 80’s to low 90’s in Oregon where they are it is in the 70’s and 80’s. So is shipping produce okay now?

If it's 5 days "in transit" and the last couple of days are in that temperature range, I'd be pretty cautious on most things...I'd think apples, cabbage and other 'hard' produce would work, but I'd be more comfortable with ordering from somewhere closer (like Neshaminy Valley). Opening a box/case of produce and having it be "old" isn't something I'd like to experience :(

As far as food, below is a list of a few things I was possibly interested in ordering if it was worthwhile. Would you mind giving me some thoughts from your experience? Would they last outside the fridge? Any idea of the quantity I might go thru? I know it depends on what I juice/eat but any thoughts would be helpful. II called Azure and they gave me some info on these. I might end up being better off just ordering staples from them and not produce/veggies

For example:

Apples-They thought they should last about 2/3 weeks outside fridge? I have no idea how many apples are in a pound but I want to make sure they would not go bad before I went through them.

20 pounds of organic Gala apples for $21.00.

Apples in season, organic, 3lbs for $3.20 (I think it is gala)

Fresh Garlic, Organic-1lb $5.50

Have you ordered this? Any rough idea how many heads to a lb?

I've never ordered garlic from A/S, but I just weighed ours that we get locally - the heads are pretty big, and there's about 4 1/2 heads in a pound.

You should have no problem with apples staying fresh/usable for a couple of weeks. You'll also find that it won't take 'a couple of weeks' to go through 20 pounds of apples.

I need 1-3 minced cloves 3x/day for ACV. 3 cloves 3 x’s a day would be 63 cloves/week. No idea how many cloves to a head of organic garlic, do you? I also get varying responses on Google for how long garlic will last.

I'd bank on 10-12 cloves to a head. You can start with one clove 3x daily and 'work up' if you need to (6 cloves a day pretty much 'maxes me out' on raw garlic). Other people have no problem at all with more, but more than 2 large cloves at a time and I'm feeling pretty 'urpy'.

Organic #2 carrots (who needs "pretty ones" for juicing?) - 25 pounds for $18.

They said these had to be stored in the fridge so I might run into a problem here. Not sure I can keep 25lbs in my fridge

Hmmm, I buy bags of carrots all the time that I keep outside the refrigerator for several days until I either use them or refrigerate them....even in the heat of the summer. Around here, organic carrots are something we can get fairly inexpensively, so it doesn't make sense for us to pay the extra shipping.

Potatoes, Yukon Gold, Organic-5lb $5.40

I thought I could use these for the Potassium Broth?

Organic potatoes are ridiculously expensive for us locally (and using only the peels really frustrates me). Honestly? I can't stand to pay $20-$30 for a 'pot of broth', so I follow the 'recipe' the best that I can...but I don't go to the expense (or the time) of peeling potatoes & carrots. If I had cancer, that'd be different (because high potassium/low sodium is essential when there's a cancer issue). I typically make my broth with the hot pepper, garlic, onions, beets, maybe tomatoes, and lots of 'greenery'...and if I happen to have extra carrots or organic potatoes I typically chop them and add a few.

I think the raw milk is illegal here as well or at least for humans it is. But I think some friends of mine get it from someone local. I currently do not eat any dairy. I do not know that I am lactose intolerant but if I eat too much I do notice some congestion and such. Do milk kefir count as dairy? Or since it is so Probiotic is it okay?

The dairy kefir grains feed on lactose, so there'll be virtually no lactose left in the kefir once it's done it's kefiring, so it shouldn't bother you at all...especially if you start with raw milk (because most people that have lactose issues find they don't have them at all with raw milk). Yep, it looks like raw milk is legal in Florida...for pets. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of places that have it for humans (they just have to label it 'for animal/pet consumption only'...consider yourself a "pet" :) - Here are sources for raw milk in Florida: http://www.realmilk.com/where1.html#fl

I envy everybody that lives in a state where they can get raw milk. In Iowa, the law is strictly enforced (and there may be folks that have it for sale, but I don't know the secret handshake! :(

(Cayenne) So as I can handle the “burn” or it lessons then I increase, correct?With the powder, yes. With the tincture, you should be able to start with 2 droppersful (with a "gulp's worth" of water). Here's a "pepper primer": · Pepper Primer :) Re: Need Tips on Getting Hot Stuff In by unyquity 25 mon 984

When I take the cayenne tincture my guess is that it will burn my mouth at least until I get used to it, especially when I am taking high doses for my migraines. Do you put this straight on your tongue or mix it with something? Can I chase it with something that will lessen the burn?

Yes, the tincture will "burn", but it's very short-lived (the burn starts dissipating within 20-30 seconds). You could put it directly on your tongue if you wanted to, but you'd likely never do it again!!! I always suggest adding the tincture to one "gulp's worth" of water or juice...and having plenty of water 'at the ready'. The only that will really lessen the burn is 'dairy', so if you want to swish some milk kefir around in your mouth, after you take the cayenne, you could try that. But the idea of "cayenne + milk"...?...ylleeeech. You'll be much happier if you just 'tough it out' for a few days, then you'll always be able to take what you need wherever or whenever you need/want it.

I take this 3-5x daily. Does it matter when it is taken? For example on empty stomach?

All tinctures assimilate faster if they're not mixed with food, but this isn't something that must be "persnickety perfect" (nor should you pressure or worry yourself about it). If you swallow them, they're going to get into your bloodstream eventually, I promise! :)

When you have your first dose of cayenne tincture, you'll understand that it IS going to be effective whether you take it after a juice or not :) We simply can't schedule our days according to some 'strict clock' and expect to be able to do all this comfortably and 'stress-free'. Remember always, these are NOT a chemical pharmaceuticals, it's not allopathic medicine, it's not "rigid" in any way.   This isn't some kind of "rigid protocol" where if you take something at the wrong time something bad is going to happen. I do understand that you want to be as effective as possible (and that's a goodness, for sure). But "life" IS going to happen - the phone is going to ring and tie you up unexpectedly; you're going to have to go someplace; you're going to lay down for a nap and oversleep; you're going to run out of something; or you're just going to feel like you can't possibly take "one more something today". Hakuna Mata! :::grin:::

You said “As you increase your dosage of powder, you can decrease the tincture.” How would you suggest I do this? You have me starting on 2 droppersful of Cayenne Tincture #1 3-5x daily and around 1/8 teaspoon every 2 days with the powder. Would I drop a tincture dose or lower the amount? Would I do that each time I increase the powder so eventually I am totally off the daily tincture and only using it when I have a migraine?

The end-goal is 1 teaspoon of Cayenne powder 3x daily (Dr. Christopher would say it should be part of your daily diet forever). You're starting with 1/8 teaspoon of Cayenne powder 3x daily (in the ACV Bombs), and because of the migraines and wanting to keep a 'therapeutic level' of Cayenne in your bloodstream, you're supplementing with the tincture. As you increase your Cayenne powder, you can decrease the tincture. Only you will know if there's a difference between the Cayenne powder and the tincture in your body and "how much" you need to adjust up or down. You might find that the tincture is better for stopping the migraines - you might find the powder is better. You might find that 'what works the first week' is vastly different than 'what works a month later' (after you've done a lot of cleansing and replenishing your body). It's very possible that as you progress, you'll need 'less'. These are natural herbs & foods interacting with your natural body...and your natural body is never the same from day to day. This will all be much more comfortable for you once you've had a chance to see-touch-taste-smell-&-feel it all.   When/if you take 3-5 doses of Cayenne tincture and 3 doses of 1/8 teaspoon of powder consistently the first 3-4 days, you will have developed a level of discernment you can't possibly have without doing it. This is SO much different than taking a tiny lil' tasteless pill "per doctors orders"...part of learning to be your own doctor is, well... learning to be your own doctor! :o) Sometimes at the beginning that can be frustrating (and/or scary), but it won't take very long before it's TOTALLY empowering!

Each bottle (2 or 4oz) has a different dropper size (the dropper in the 2oz bottle is a bit smaller than the dropper in the 4oz bottle). The 8oz bottle doesn't come with a dropper. So when someone hasn't ever ordered from us before (if we know/remember), we generally include an empty 4oz bottle with an 8oz bottle of tincture

I apologize I am still a little confused on the bottles and the droppers. You said “Each bottle (2 or 4oz) has a different dropper size (the dropper in the 2oz bottle is a bit smaller than the dropper in the 4oz bottle)." I understand what you have written there but on the chart above it shows a 4oz bottle dosage as “4oz (using a 4oz dropper) and 4oz (using a 2oz dropper)”. Does the 4oz bottle come with two droppers, the dropper from the 2oz bottle and the dropper from the 4oz bottle?

In regards to the amount of tincture in droppers you said “Each bottle (2 or 4oz) has a different dropper size (the dropper in the 2oz bottle is a bit smaller than the dropper in the 4oz bottle)." and "none of the droppers measure 2oz or 4oz... the contents of a dropper from 'one full squeeze' via the 2oz bottle or the dropper from the 4oz bottle is what it indicated)’. So are the amounts in the actual dropper basically the same between a 2oz and 4oz? I ask because often the instructions are to take ____ drpfl  and I did not know if it mattered if it was a 2oz or 4oz. For example with the cayenne tincture I am to take 6 drpfl daily and 5 to 10 drpfls with a migraine. And yes…I know….I am probably being too exact!

You said “we generally include an empty 4oz bottle with an 8oz bottle of tincture”. Would I be able to get a few empty bottles so I could carry the cayenne and the brain formula with me as well as keep at home? I am wondering if I could to get an extra bottle for all the tinctures that I take so I can have a “to go” version for when I am out. The Echinacea and Cayenne I am getting in 8oz size, still working on the list of others.

Lol, something has DEFINITELY gotten confused in the "computer monitor translation" of our communication about these bottles and droppers!!!   I know you're certainly not "dull" and I know I'm not either...so scratch everything, deep breath, and we'll both hit the RESET button!

When we purchase a 2 oz bottle it comes with a dropper. That dropper is a wee bit shorter than the dropper that comes with the 4oz bottle, so it holds a tiny bit less. When you get tinctures from us, a 2oz bottle comes with a 2oz dropper and a 4oz bottle comes with a 4oz dropper. Some people "switch droppers" and use a dropper that originally came with a 2oz bottle in a 4oz bottle...that's the only reason I added that information to the chart. What's important to know: if you use the dropper than comes in the 2oz bottle, 4 droppersful is a bit more than 3/4 teaspoon; if you use the dropper that comes in a 4oz bottle, 4 droppersful is about 9/10 of teaspoon.

Yes, since you've never placed an order before, you don't have any empty bottles around, so we'll be happy to include an empty 4oz bottle for every 8oz bottle of tincture you order. As far as "to go" bottles, yes - we have 1/2 oz sample bottles...just let us know how many you want when you place your order and we'll be sure to include a few extras (and if you let us know what you're going to put in them, we'll put labels on them...or you can label them yourself, whatever works best for you).

When you get a chance I still need the info on Coffee Enemas…the coffee enemas for dummies version…lol. As I said I have never done an enema in my life and I am totally clueless. I appreciate your help with what I should do and everything I need to buy.

You really don't need "CE's for Dummies", that would be too complicated! All we're doing is taking a bucket (or a bag) with tube on it, putting a few cups of coffee in it, laying down & inserting the tube a few inches into our rectum and letting the coffee go in, holding it in (15-20 minutes is the goal), and then sitting on the toilet to let it come out when we're done (or when our colon decides we're done, lol). It really is as simple as that.   Here's the CE Working FAQ - it contains most everything you want to know. [FAQ] Healing Cleanse - Coffee Enemas: Working File Thread

Organic Coffee and plastic enema bucket (with tube) from S.A. Wilsons

One Coffee Enema is 4 cups of pure water and 4 Tablespoons of coffee. Put it in a pan or teakettle on the stove (pan must be glass, stainless, or enameled). Put the lid on it and bring it to a boil, then cut the heat and simmer it for 15 minutes. Strain the coffee grounds out through a mesh strainer (not paper) - cool to slightly warm to the touch.

Either do your CE you've had a recent bm, or you can do a cool/warm water enema (around 2 cups) to rinse away any fecal matter that's in the lower colon before doing it.

Hang bucket about 2 feet over your body, lubricate the end of the soft plastic tubing, lay comfortably on your left side and insert the tubing a few inches. Then open the clamp and let the solution start to flow in. If you feel any cramping or the need to expel, pinch the tubing so no more goes in and do a bit of rapid breathing (like natural childbirth) until your colon relaxes and can accept more solution. Unpinch the tube and let the solution continue flowing in until there's no more in the bucket.

You can either leave the tubing in or take it out once the solution is in - whatever is comfortable for you. When I started, I left the tubing in because I though it worked for me like some kind of a "plug"; then I switched, because I felt like the tubing was triggering something that made me feel like I needed to push it out. Now I leave it in because if I have the need to expel, the solution will go back up the tubing and into the bucket (rather than out onto the chux pad). Sometimes I still 'leak' a bit onto the chux pad, sometimes I don't.

Start slow and with a weak solution (as I suggested before). After you read the FAQ and have your coffee and are ready to give it a try, post any questions you still have :)

Would I also be doing other enemas as well? This is the most effective and most important. There's all kinds of different enemas, but for now this is likely the only one you need to concern yourself with.

Jackie, I realize in my PM to you I told you I'd have this finished by now, but I've had a couple of interruptions and my eyes are closing on their own :( I'll get you more answers as soon as I can. 'So sorry for another delay -- Uny

  Uny,
  
  Willow mentioned to me that she uses B&B tincture as a sleep aide. Can you tell me a little about this and if you think I should try it as well as the Lady's Slipper? If possible, I think it might be good to have more than one sleep thing to try. That way I can try and stay away from the pharmaceuticals and the melatonin. Sorry to ask another question but I wanted to get your thoughts before I ordered.
  
  Please know there is absolutely no reason for you to say "so sorry for another delay" or any delay! As I have said many times I am so very grateful for all the time you have spent guiding me. Take all the time you need, no worries at all!
  
  Let me add that I am astonished that someone wants to gift me $100 toward a water distiller. I have been so affected by all that you have done and continue to do for me. I do not even know how fully express my gratitude to you. In addition during the short time I have been posting several people on the forum have already touched me with their kindness and input. Including but certainly not limited to Willow, Water, Blueciel, and even your husband. Now a complete stranger has come along and through their action has blessed me more than just financially. It is one thing for a friend, family member or even an acquaintance to do such a thing but someone that does not even know me but has just read my posts? What an example of selflessness! There is so much more I wish I could say but I am not sure I could find the words to express my gratitude. So thank you to the person who has blessed me by their generosity and thoughtfulness.
  
  Since you mention changing my water is imperative I will humbly accept the gift. Please pass along what I wrote to the gift-er. Thank you for the ideas you gave me in regards to my shelf/counter space. Can you send me information/links on ones you would recommend? (guess this makes two questions!) To distill the amount of water I need to consume each day is it something that needs to run all day? Just wondering about the time so I would know if I need to find a way to keep it on the counter or if the floor would work as you mention. I think you also said they give off a lot of heat? Perhaps keeping it in my bedroom or even the bathroom (if that is not too gross..lol), I will have to look into it all.
  
  Please feee=l free to wait and answer these questions with the main post.
  
  With much gratitude,
  Jackie

    Hey Uny,
    
    I sent you a reply PM but since you get so many messages I was not sure if you had seen it yet. So I thought I would post here on the forum as well. This is a little different than the PM I sent.
    
    I hope all is going well with you. I was wondering (not to rush you) if it would be easier for you to first answer the questions I had in regards to my order from you as well as other orders such as the sweeteners and water distiller. Basically whatever information I needed to get the supplies to start. Then perhaps you could work on the rest of the questions while I am waiting for everything to arrive so I could be prepared to start when it all gets here.
    
    I realize that I have asked a lot of you and you have spent so much time helping me. I know that you have other things going on in your life besides me! I was just hoping I might get an order in soon so I could get started. When I posted my last set of questions I thought it would be too difficult to separate out just my order questions and in addition I think a lot of the post was in regards to my order. But, I thought I would ask you in case as you read thru my post you saw a way to break up the response. I want to do whatever would be easiest and less time consuming for you right now. Please feel free to answer my post in whatever way is best for you.
    
    Again, please know I am so grateful for your help. My posts to you have been very long with many questions and I can only imagine the amount of time you have spent helping me. I am very appreciative for all that you have done and do not want you to think I am rushing you at all. I am more than happy to wait until you have the time to finish your post. I just wanted to check in with you and see if it would be easier for you to break up the response.
    
    With much gratitude,
    Jackie

        Hello Uny,
        
        I thought it might be easier if I went through my previous post and took out the questions I needed answered before I order. I will also make a 2nd post which if possible, I need answered before my order arrives. Some of the questions on the 2nd post are in reference to times I take things and such so if you could answer it before I get my order I would be grateful.
        
        Thank you again for your help. I hope this makes it easier!
        
        I am also working on a daily plan and schedule of sorts. If you would not mind, I would like you to look it over and give me your input. The problem is that it is in Excel. Do I need to create a way to post it on the forum?
        
        There was also the post I had called "One question to add" in case you have not read it. Here it is in case it is easier to comment in this post:

        Nausea-
        
        So, what do YOU sense causes or triggers it? Is it always "the same nausea" or does it vary? Is it a 'crampy tightness' (where you feel if you could relax something, the nausea would subside). Is it accompanied some form of dizziness or lightheadedness? Difference in bowel activity (color, consistency, etc)? Are there other symptoms that always come along with the nausea? Does it cause vomiting? If so, what percentage of the time?
        
        Not 100% sure what causes the nausea. At times it is certainly the migraines. Other times I can for no reason just start feeling queasy. It is not a crampy type, just queasy like I might throw up type of feeling. No difference that I notice in my bowels but I have never checked. Sometimes there is dizziness and lightheadadeness with it. No other symptoms and I have never vomited from it, just feel like I could.
        
        You'd use any of the herbs above as a tea...my second choices (after ginger root) would be peppermint or spearmint, raspberry leaf and peach (can be the flesh, doesn't have to be the leaf).
        
        Besides my normal nausea issues you also answer in response to one of my questions that some of this protocol may make me nauseous. With my history I think it would be best to be prepared to have several things on hand so that I can try and stay away from the phenergan and the zofran. I know we discussed ginger which I will keep on hand. Can you make suggestions on what I might keep on hand for this type nausea in addition to what I get on occasion and the nausea from my migraines? Perhaps several things I might try?
        
        You mention above making teas from the above herbs. Can you give me instructions and where I would buy them?
        
        Do you know how fast these type things work? Also is there anything I could carry with me? Sometimes it happens when I am out. I always have my migraine meds on me and anti-nauesa pills. It would be great if there was something I could carry with me in case I get nauseous while I am out.
        
        I did see you mention a tip that said “Always have a ginger in your hand; fresh ginger root that you can chew on when you feel any waves of nausea coming.” How long will unpeeled ginger last just wondering if that is anything I could carry?
        
        Lady’s Slipper-
        
        Using the dropper in a 4oz oz bottle, 4 droppersful is almost a teaspoon. One teaspoon is usually enough for me, but when I've been incredibly stressed (and my brain is racing on 4 or 5 'channels', lol), I've taken up to 2 teaspoon (8 droppersful). So (from the chart above) there'd be 37 "1 teaspoon" doses, and 18.5 doses of 2 teaspoon each.
        
        If I am calculating correct a 2 oz bottle would be 84 drpfl which is about 21 teaspoon doses, right? Maybe I should start with a sample? I think the ½ ounce sample would 5 teaspoon doses, right?
        
        Dr. Schulzes Brain Formula -So would you recommend the Brain Formula for my memory and the migraines? Would I take it daily? If yes, how much a day and what size bottle should I buy?If it is stimulating I would not want it to interfere with my sleep so would I take early in the day? For memory, yes, you'd take it every day - same basic dosage as most: 2-4 droppersful 3x daily (6-12 droppers a day). Depending upon how sensitive you are to the Kola Nut, I'd say not to take any 4-6 hours before going to bed. You can spread your doses throughout the day however you'd prefer.
        
        I am trying to decide if I should just try this now for my migraines only and then I can see after I do some of the cleanses and such if I still need to take this daily for my memory? As we have discussed I do not want to start too many things in the hope that I will not need them after some of the cleanses are done. It might be best to start with the 2oz size which would give me about 16 of the 5 droppersfuls l doses for migraines.
        
        I did notice on the link you sent me about it that it states “Ginkgo Biloba has been proven effective for Depression…”. What are your thoughts on this in regards to depression and compared to St. John’s Wort?
        
        Superfoods Formula-
        
        The "Original" has a lot more nutritional yeast than the "Special Blend" - the nutritional yeast is high in protein and B vitamins (something we typically get plenty of when we're eating meat & dairy, but not when we're vegan and/or juice fasting). So if you're going to be cutting down on the meat fairly substantially/quickly, I'd say go ahead and get the Original. If it's going to take you a few weeks to ditch the meat, then go ahead and get at least 14 oz of the Special Blend.
        
        I think I will be cutting down meat pretty quickly. I plan to try and start raw until dinner . So maybe I need to do 42 oz of the original and 14oz of the special to be safe? If my calculations are correct 14oz is 60T total so it is 10 days worth at 6T/day and 42oz is 180T total which is 30 days at 6T/day.
        
        How long will the Superfoods keep fresh?
        
        ACV Bomb (or Uny Bomb) -
        
        Herbal Calcium Tinture & BF&C-To me...?...osteopenia, stress fractures, family history of osteoporosis and past (high) steroid use adds up to "let's get these bones enough of what they need to repair themselves"! The Herbal Calcium is a solid/strong source of silica & calcium; the BF&C is also a solid/strong source of calcium (Oat Straw, Oak bark)...along with Comfrey (which contains a substance known as allantoin, which is a cell regenerator, amongst it's myriads of other attributes)...and Gravel root (which helps to dissolve 'rock calcium' build-up and deposits...and an array of synergistic herbs that help regenerate bone, flesh and cartilage. Remember, I'm always going to do my best to suggest everything I think/know would benefit your healing. The cleansing protocols aren't really optional, they're part of building a solid foundation, but you don't "have" to use "all" of the tinctures/herbs that I suggest (or that anybody suggests). You can add the BF&C later, or not use it at all if you feel you're progressing fine without it.
        
        I appreciate that you are suggesting everything you can that will benefit my healing. You have gone into detail with my history and current issues and have been very helpful in suggesting the items you think would benefit me and why.
        
        If I understand you correctly the Herbal Calcium Tincture is the most important but the BF&C is also good for me considering the history. I am guessing that the mentioned Tincture would be the best choice for it? I do no think I have information on the dosage I would take? I would like to see what size I would need so I could look over the cost involved to add this.
        
        BF&C- It's FANTASTIC for tension and tightness (if Willowley is reading this, she'll likely pop in add her thoughts on the Deep Tissue Oil). I understand about not being able to reach :( Perhaps your mom could help (?). Although it's best if someone massages it in, you will get a lot of "soothing/relaxing warmth" from even a light topical application....and it doesn't take very much. Typically we start with just one dropperful (say for a strained ankle or joint) and rub that in completely. It's pretty amazing what just one lil' dropperful can do!
        
        My Mom is disabled and would not be able to help me but if it can soothe by application alone it might well be worth it! Perhaps I should try this in a sample and see how it works for me before I order the larger size? If I am correct a sample should be about 21 dropperfuls? Do the sample bottles come with droppers?
        
        Liver Cleansing - once you get your bm's regulated and have done 7-10 days of the IF#2, you can start prepping your liver for series of Liver Flushes. The absolute best "prep" for a liver flush is Dr. Schulzes 5 Day Liver Cleanse; http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1617299 Is this your 5 Day Liver Cleanse (Tincture & Tea)?    Yes it is.
        
        Sorry I have a lot of questions in regards to the liver. (posting some here & rest on 2^nd post) I am really confused about the instructions for the Five Day Liver Prep and the actual Liver Flush. On the link there is “Unyquity's suggested Flush”, “Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program” and “The full-strength liver/gallbladder flush (The BIG Flush)”. I am not sure if one of these is the prep and one the flush and if I do all three things? I am not sure what each of these are and where they fit into the plan? You said that “Dr. Schulte’s 5 Day Liver Cleanse” was the prep for the liver flush and in the storefront it was called “5 Day Liver Cleanse (Tincture & Tea”.
        
        Can you please help me to understand which is the prep and which is the flush and confirm that all I need to buy is the 5 Day Liver Cleanse (Tincture & Tea)?
        
        Other questions:
        
        I see on a post you mentioned soaking non-organic produce in 1/2 cup of benonite liquid, is this what I should be doing? Is there an inexpensive place to buy the benonite liquid? We've got Bentonite clay in the Storefront (1/2 pound or 1 pound),....
        
        How would I utilize the clay for soaking the produce? You said it is easier to mix my own, would I mix it first and then use as a produce wash?

        St. John’s Wort-
        
        Have you had anyone experience tiredness from the St. John’s Wort? I read some people take it before bed because of that issue. If it does make me tired can I take it all at one time instead of spread thru the day?
        
        ... Right, you wouldn't take it on the same day as the Imitrex, and that should prevent any interaction.
        
        Problem is I won’t know when I will get a migraine unless I wake with one. Guess I am just going to have to test it out. Hopefully I will not need to take the imitrex
        
        Migraine-When I have an actual migraine would I use additional brain formula as he instructs (6-10 Dropperfuls at ONCE) and also the cayenne tincture? I realize some of this may be trial and error to see what works at that time. Is there any problem with using them at the same time? For example if I had a “killer migraine” and I tried the brain formula and it did not relieve it could I then try the cayenne tincture?   Yes, 'trial & error' (or better yet, "trial & success") is something we usually need to do to learn how our body responds. If it were me, this is what I'd do with the migraine issues you report (after I had acclimated to Cayenne tincture doses at the 2-3 droppersful level):
        
        What did you mean by “(after I had acclimated to Cayenne tincture doses at the 2-3 droppersful level):” I know with the powder you have me starting “with 1/8 teaspoon as a dose and work up to at least 1/2 teaspoon per dose” but I did not see any plan with the cayenne tincture? I thought I was starting with 2 droppersfuls of Cayenne Tincture #1 3-5x daily (separate from the ACV Bombs) but then I was lowering the Cayenne Tincture as I increased the Cayenne Powder? I do not see daily that I would get up to 2-3 dropperfulls?
        
        Also when you say “after I had acclimated to Cayenne tincture doses at the 2-3 droppersful level “ do you mean that I would not start the plan you have given me below ( taking the 5 droppersful etc) until after I had acclimated to Cayenne tincture doses at the 2-3 droppersful level? I am confused by this because I thought this is what I would do starting immediately when I get a migraine?
        
        Upon sensing a migraine 'coming on', I would immediately take 5 droppersful of Cayenne tincture and take another 5 if needed (as I explained before). If that didn't work (or only worked partially), I'd take 5 of the Brain Formula (and another 5 in the same manner as the Cayenne). (Note: caffeine can have a positive OR negative effect on migraines...typically positive, but not always. So be SURE to "test" the Brain Formula before taking 5 droppersful. I'd start with 1/2 a dropperful, which is approximately 15 drops - then if that didn't have a negative effect, make my next dose a full dropperful, then my next 1 1/2 droppersful, then 2, etc).  Definitely test the Lobelia in the same manner - sometimes 15 drops of Lobelia is all it takes (and our Lobelia is very potent).
        
        Thank you for giving me a “plan” you know how much I like that! It sounds like a great one. Caffeine usually has a positive effect on my migraines. But it can have a negative effect when I have it too many days in a row. Sometimes it can cause headaches. I guess I need to see what the Kola Nut will be like, if I will have effects from it.
        
        Lobelia-
        
        Lobelia is almost a 'magical' herb (it was Dr. Christopher's favorite - he always said, "If in doubt, Lobelia". ... Hence it's possible that a dropperful (or two, or even less) could "relax" whatever constriction or spasm that causes (or worsens) a migraine.
        
        I wonder if this would be helpful with my muscle spasms and pain? Pain that is not from migraines?
        
        Lobelia is something everyone should have in their 'herbal first-aid kit'...and it's something I was going to suggest trying for the migraines if the Cayenne and/or Brain formula 'wasn't enough'. We'll be happy to send a 1/2 oz sample size - just add it to your 'sample requests' when you order.
        
        Thank you I will do that.
        
        Liver Cleansing (part 2 of questions) - once you get your bm's regulated and have done 7-10 days of the IF#2, you can start prepping your liver for series of Liver Flushes. The absolute best "prep" for a liver flush is Dr. Schulzes 5 Day Liver Cleanse; http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1617299
        
        Sorry I am pretty confused about the Liver Cleanse and have lots of questions.
        
        On this link you said “I always keep a jar of ginger juice in the freezer” I think this would be great for me to do for both the liver and my nausea issues. You said “ You can just throw a big 'thumb sized' piece of ginger root in the blender with the olive oil, but you'll want to strain out the pulp (so be sure to add extra oil for that which will stay in the blender and that ends up in the pulp)”,is this still the best way? Would I grate the outside of the ginger off before I add it? You said “strain the pulp”, I am wondering if my blender will just mush all of this up and if I would be able to strain the pulp? If it is in a jar frozen when you need it do you defrost the whole jar and then refreeze it all?
        
        Questions from the link on the Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program
        
        For breakfast I drink the Morning Drink (Liver & Gallbladder Flush. They give different juices for Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. For me I am guessing it is still summer since it is 90 degrees in Florida, correct?
        
        It says “Consume 2 dropperfuls of Liver/Gallbladder - Anti-Parasite tonic 4 times daily during this cleanse. Take in a few ounces of water. It should be quite bitter.”
        
        I see your notes that this is not the best way to do it, I think I would put it my tongue as you instructed previously with the Liver/GB tincture, correct?
        
        I have compared the 5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program and the Five-day Cleansing and Detoxification Program for Kidney (again I am still confused about which I am doing when) and they are very similar. You suggested that I start the liver prep 7-10 days onto IF#2 and the Kidney Cleanse right when I started IF#2 but I was not sure if you would do both of these together since they were similar or if it is too confusing/conflicting?
        
        If I do not do them at the same time is it okay if the Kidney and Liver Flushes overlap? If I had to do a 2nd Kidney Cleanse it seems it would run into the start of the Liver Prep? If they do overlap I am wondering how you would do the teas and breakfast drinks since they are different (this would be my same question if you did the Kidney and Liver together) If you do not do them together and they should not overlap would I postpone my liver prep until I had completed the kidney if I need to do the Kidney Stone - Bad Calcium Flush and the 2nd kidney flush with it?
        
        When I compared the instructions for both, the drink you have within 1 hour of waking are different. With both you drink tea 15 minutes after the morning drink but I assume the teas are different? With the liver you are adding in the increase in Liver/GB tincture. But, what you eat/drink for the 5-days is the exact same. So if I do these together can you explain how I would do the teas and the morning drinks?
        
        This Liver Plan, as with the Kidney Plan, gives detailed instructions for what you should eat and when each of the five days. For Days #2, #3 and #4 you are supposed to juice fast. It gives very specific instructions on what you can drink for example “it is BEST, while on this program NOT to mix fruit and vegetables together.” Should I be following these instructions and not mixing the fruit and vegetable juices?
        
        Also on Day 5, states I am supposed to break my fast it says “Remember, breaking your fast is a very important part of this program.” If this is the case (like with the Kidney) how do I do this while juice fasting?
        
        On this link you also said “Anyone that doesn't do some type of parasite cleanse before flushing their liver is asking for trouble.” I believe I am starting my parasite cleanse when I begin the IF#2. If I am starting the liver prep 7-10 days into the IF#2 and then the Liver Flush six days later, is that long enough of a parasite cleanse to begin on the liver?
        
        If this is correct I am wondering about the juice fast. I am not sure how long I will be able to do the fast. In the instructions for Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program Days #2, #3 and #4 suggest juice fasting but I see a note from you that says “You do not "have" to do the 3-day juice fast in the middle of the 5 day cleanse, but it's beneficial.”
        
        You will likely/definitely want to be doing more than one 5-Day cleanse, but perhaps not every time you do a liver flush.
        
        When would you expect I would do my next Liver Prep and how often would I do the preps? Just wondering if I should get the 10-day now or if I could wait. Below you said “It takes most people a 'series' of liver flushes to adequately cleanse their liver - so you'll likely be working on your liver (on & off) for at least 4-5 months" but you said that I might not do a prep every time I do a flush.
        
        The one thing I suggest getting now for your liver (which, like your kidneys, is likely desperately in need of some attention), is a 2oz bottle of the Liver/GB tincture. I see this is included in the 5 Day Liver Cleanse package, would I need an additional 2oz bottle? For starters, for the first couple of weeks while you're getting accustomed to the IF#1/IF#2 and starting to work on the Kidney Cleanse & juice fasting, you might just want to get the 2oz bottle of the Liver/GB tincture and do the 'tongue drops' every day to start assisting digestion and flow of bile. Then after the Kidney cleanse you could order the 5-Day Liver Cleanses.
        
        On the link for “Dr. Schulze’s 5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program” it says to “consume 2 dropperfuls of Liver/Gallbladder - Anti-Parasite tonic 4 times daily during this cleanse”. Also, below you said “so you'll likely be working on your liver (on & off) for at least 4-5 months…. so I suggest 5x daily (3x daily minimum)” Does that mean while I am doing the “5-Day Liver Flush & Detoxification Program” I consume the Liver/GB tincture at 2 droppersful 4x/day and then after I would return to “5 drops of the tincture on your tongue 5 times a day”?
        
        You suggested I do “put 5 drops of the tincture on your tongue 5 times a day.”Does it matter when I do this each day? For example on empty stomach, etc? Since the point of this is NOT to assimilate herbs into the bloodstream, it doesn't matter whether or ot there is food in your stomach. But since it triggers bile production/release, it would be a good idea to do a few drops before every meal.
        
        You mention later that “The Liver Tincture needs to be taken by itself because of the "bitters action" and you also say “it would be a good idea to do a few drops before every meal.”, I am trying to figure out where to fit this in with everything else.
        
        I am still working on my daily schedule but I think 1 hour before my morning nutritional drink I was planning to take IF#2 and the Parasite Herbs, ½ hour before lunch and dinner I was planning to take IF#2 and the ACV Bomb, between lunch & dinner (and also between dinner and bed) I was taking IF#2 and parasite Herbs. So I am not sure where to fit this in each day. Maybe it would be better to decide when I get the whole daily schedule laid out?
        
        How long would you suggest I do this for? It takes most people a 'series' of liver flushes to adequately cleanse their liver - so you'll likely be working on your liver (on & off) for at least 4-5 months. This is a very beneficial, yet cheap & easy way to assist the process...so I suggest 5x daily (3x daily minimum).
        
        Is there a schedule I should follow in regards to when to do the liver flushes or a way to know when I need to do one? How will I know when my liver is adequately cleansed?
        
        Ashwagandha -
        
        I take 1-3 Tablespoons daily (mixed with water or juice). I'd start with 1T and work up to 3T (if I need it). Does this get taken on an empty stomach? Perhaps ½ before meals? If I am juice fasting I do not think it matters since it is taken with juice.
        
        Also, how will I know if I need to increase? With so much going on with my physically and taking so much I am not sure how to judge my need to increase certain things. I do not know if I start to feel better how I will know what to attribute it to. Hopefully that makes sense
        
        Stomach-See image below...just to clarify - are you talking about your actual "stomach"- #4 in the image (most people aren't when they refer to their stomach or tummy), or are you referring to the various intestines below your actual stomach? You are right, I am not referring to my actual stomach. You are a wealth of information! It is the “ various intestines below your actual stomach”
        
        Lady’s Slipper: It seems to have a 'next day' effect of a very slight 'calming' for me (it's claim to fame is 'quieting a racy brain')...and that effect (for me) seems to roll over into the following day (at least in the morning).
        
        I guess I will have to see how this effects me. Not sure right now that I need any more calming in my life, I could use a little less…lol! But I do think it is worth a try
        
        What about melatonin? Is this bad to take? I do find when things are going “well” that will usually help me sleep but I would not say it is always “uninterrupted” or restful but I do sleep. I also used to take magnesium at night to help with sleep and constipation. If you're using a supplement (Melatonin) that you know is working, I suggest continuing it and then weaning off as it's need becomes less & less.
        
        Is there anything wrong with using Melatonin as a sleep aide (such as the side affects you mentioned to me with my other medications) or is it the issue with supplements as a whole? Or are you saying that I could wean off as the need becomes less because I will be able to sleep on my own without anything? I am just curious in case the lady’s slipper does not work for me. The melatonin does work better than anything I have taken before but sometimes I do get crazy dreams and also as I said before I do not sleep uninterrupted.
        
        The magnesium...?...not so much the same, because the reason that magnesium increases bowel activity is that it draws water from the bloodstream into the intestinal tract. This means that our natural electrolyte balance can be disrupted (stressing our kidneys & adrenals) as well as causing dehydration. Also, this encourages 'bowel action weakness' because it 'bandaids' the constipation without doing anything to address the cause. So I'd ditch the magnesium when you get the IF#1 (which will ensure you're not constipated).
        
        Again great info! I will not continue with the supplement. Now this may be my supplement brainwashing but I do believe there is a need for us to have magnesium, correct? But my guess is as I go more raw and juice that I would get my need filled from greens like spinach, nuts etc and also the superfoods formula, correct?
        
        Juice Fast-When juice-fasting, I suggest adding actual fruit only one time per day...but it's not going to 'break the protocol' if you have 1/2 a cup of pureed fruit 2-3x daily in with additional smoothies. What most people find is there's no WAY they can ingest a gallon of juice, the herbal teas (if they're using them) AND three Superfood smoothies.
        
        That does seem like a lot each day!. With just a gallon of juice it is 16 cups already, I think that will be plenty no need for extra fruit!
        
        When you say “actual fruit” I am guessing you mean blended instead of juiced? We discussed using fruit in the juices I would be drinking each day.
        
        What's important is that you get 4-6T of Superfood in you every day...it doesn't really matter 'how' you get it in you. Some people like to add it to Potassium Broth http://healingtools.tripod.com/thn8.html#potbroth (or any type of veggie broth, which you can have on a juice-fast, too) Btw, ignore that part at the end of the Potassium Broth recipe about "it must be taken by sick people only" - it's just a veggie broth that's strong on the potassium side (our sodium/potassium balance is usually WAY too high in sodium, and sodium 'feeds' cancer). If you choose to make it (or any kind of veggie broth), this is your opportunity to 'bolster' a particular vitamin, nutrient, or mineral you want to 'supplement'. This site is GREAT for finding 'what food = what nutrient'': http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/nutrient-search
        
        That is a great idea, to “'bolster' a particular vitamin, nutrient, or mineral” especially for me right now. I had not thought of that at all, to try and figure out what I might need and get it in my juice or a broth during that fasting time. I had not thought of being intentional during the fasting time with what I juice/make broth. I had thought I would juice the basic vegetables and fruits that I knew were healthy (such as the ones from Gerson I listed) and decide a lot by the flavor. I really need to adjust my brain to the fact that my juice fast is for healing instead of thinking of it as part of my eating plan. How would I know what vitamin, nutrient, or mineral I need to bolster? Are there ways to figure it out or suggestions you might have? (as if you have not done enough!).
        
        I do see later you did let me know that I needed to “juice high calcium/silica fruits & veggies and whenever possible add high calcium/silica herbs” and to check this site for it “
        
        In regards to the broth it is just the peels for the carrot and potatoes, the outer layers, correct? I saw this post and it seemed to be more detailed than Dr. Schultze’s : http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1414814#i
        
        Colon Cleanse-
        
        Got it! Take the first dose of the IF#2 one hour after whatever I am drinking in the am. I think that even when I am not juice-fasting I will have a smoothie of some sort in the am.
        
        We discussed me starting the juice-fasting when I am “regulated to 3+ bms daily”. S if I am correct when I regulate to 3 bm’s daily I (1) Begin IF#2 and continue #1 and #2 for 30 days (2) Begin Juice Fast (3) Start my parasite cleanse with the “UnyWorm dry herbs (to mix into 3 of the 5 doses of IF#2)” and continue parasite cleanse for 30 days
        
        When I begin IF#2 I take the IF#1 as usual “but increase your regular dosage by 1 additional pill, or more if necessary to have sufficient bowel movements.” correct?
        
        When you say 30 days minimum does that mean from when I start or from when I am on #1 and #2 together?   It means "around 30 days" give or take a few days. When in doubt, always go with ' what's best for your body' (which in this case is to start counting on the day you start the IF#2)...that way you're sure to get 30 days worth of healing/cleansing goodness.
        
        I think I got it. So IF#1 until I am regulated to 3+ bms then begin IF#2 and continue with both for 30 days.
        
        ...- if you are having 3 bms daily after 2-3 days on the IF#1 and you want to go ahead and start the IF#2, that works. If you'd rather make absolutely 'persnickety sure' that you can continue having 3bms daily on the IF#1 before you start the IF#2, that works, too.
        
        I think this answers a question that I had which was when I get to 3 bm’s daily how many days at 3 bm’s should I wait before beginning IF#2? I think from what you are saying I could start IF#2 the next day I do not need to wait to “make absolutely 'persnickety sure' that you can continue having 3bms daily”, correct?
        
        5x daily or 6x daily? Since you'll be starting with heaping 1/2 teaspoons (to make sure everything is 'safe' from the surgery), you'll likely have enough to have 6 doses daily. Our '30 day bags' of IF#2 are measure for a heaping teaspoon 5x daily. When I'm doing IF#2, I take a level (or heaping) tablespoon 5-6x daily (my body just LOVES IF#2 :) This: You want the formula in your colon at all times, and not sporadically. Then, you will notice parasites being removed, casing of old fecal matter coming out, and mucus. If you take the number two formula erratically or once or twice a day, this will not happen. is ALWAYS the case!   Think of it like "scrubbing bubbles that have magnets"...every time you take a dose of IF#2, the psyllium and mucilaginous herbs 'swell a bit' and become sticky-slimey and gently stick to the junk (or lining) of your colon (doing a little 'scrubbing')...and the bentonite/charcoal 'pulls out' toxins. Then it gently pulls away...taking a tiny bit of the top layer of crud with it, and pulling at the deep chunks & pockets. We want this gentle action to happen again and again and again throughout the day...stick to the crud, pull away from the crud (taking a little bit with it) while tugging at the bigger pieces of plaque (and what is in the diverticuli pockets). The more times per day this action happens, the faster and more effective the cleanse will be.
        
        Sounds like great stuff!
        
        Since I want “the formula in your colon at all times, and not sporadically.” If I am going to be out for a portion of the day I need to take it with me, correct?
        
        The link I have suggests that you start “One hour after your morning nutritional drink …. Do the same ½ hour before lunch, between lunch and dinner, ½ hour before dinner and 1 hour before bed, so that you are consuming a total of 5 heaping teaspoons each day." I think I could add my 6th dose (in the beginning) between dinner and bed, right?
        
        Garlic-Organic garlic is not essential, but it's always best (the cloves are MUCH bigger). Organic cloves can be as big as the end of your thumb!   So if you're not going to be able get organic (and the cloves are only about the size of your thumbnail), then "adjust up" the amount of cloves you take.
        
        So it is 1-3 minced cloves of organic garlic and if I do not use organic than I would adjust up as you said, correct?
        
        You don't have to have a 'garlic twister', but if you don't have one you need to mince the cloves by hand because a garlic press leaves WAY too much of the actual garlic in the press :( This is the one I have (and I totally love it!): http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/product/garlic-twist.html
        
        I did not think you were saying I had to have one, but I certainly don’t want to mince all that garlic by hand!
        
        A little tip? Twist the garlic FIRST then shake as much into the glass as you can. But instead of trying to scrape out all the lil' pieces (that get stuck in the teeth of the Twister) with a knife or something, just pour a bit of the ACV/blackstrap blend (or a splash of water) into the twister, put the lid on it and give it a twist. And then you can easily pour out all the rest of the lil' garlic pieces :)
        
        Besides great info you have great tips too!
        
        ACV Bomb-
        
        You said the ACV Bomb is “something we should all have daily”; will I do this long term?
        
        Slippery Elm bark powder -
        
        It can be made with water, but it's MUCH tastier if made with apple juice (with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey). Would it be best to make my own apple juice? Since you use so much each day can I make it ahead and keep in fridge? Would it matter what type of apples (I know they should be organic) It's always best to make our own :) Any type of apples are fine - the 'green ones' have less sugar.
        
        How long does apple juice keep if I make it ahead?
        
        Superfoods-
        
        I am going to be taking 6T/day. Is it better to take it all at once in your am drink or to split it into two doses and have a 2nd drink later in the day?
        
        When I do the Kidney and Liver Cleanses my guess is that I would consume the superfoods at another time of the day besides the morning since I will be drinking other things during those cleanses in the am, is that correct?
        
        Echinacea Tincture - 2-4 droppersful, 3-4x daily (to bolster & restore immune system and assist with Candida).
        
        Does it matter when I take it each day? For example on an empty stomach or with meal?
        
        Kidney Cleanse –
        
        So, there's a LOT of reasons why you may have a "reduction in symptoms" after doing a kidney cleanse...and some of the improvement may be something 'indirectly affected' by the things the kidneys affect.
        
        I think with everything we are trying if I start to feel better I might not know what to attribute it to the colon cleanse, kidney cleanse etc. I am hoping that is the case, that I have a reduction in symptoms! That said I am not sure if I would know it was the kidney cleanse that did it so perhaps it is best for me to wait to do a 2nd one the next month unless I have problems and need to do the Kidney stone/bad calcium flush. That way I can order a 10-Day now and do the 5-Day and have an extra 5-Day on hand to do with the Kidney stone/bad calcium flush if needed
        
        You're going to be juice-fasting AND colon cleansing...so you can do a kidney cleanse (or a liver cleanse) at any time when you're doing those things.   If you feel more comfortable doing 2 weeks of colon cleansing before starting a kidney cleanse, that's certainly alright, but you don't "have" to do that.
        
        I will do any of these things when you think it is best to do it, it does not matter to me if I wait 2 weeks. I actually would rather get it done as soon as I can while I am home.
        
        I am still confused by which kidney cleanse instructions I would follow. Page one, “Kidney Cleanse/Flush 5 Days” which is just basically drinking the tea throughout the day. My guess is this would be while juice fasting?
        
        On page two, the “Five-day Cleansing and Detoxification Program”, and also on the link you sent me that says “5-Day Kidney/Bladder Cleansing Program” it gives detailed instructions for what you should eat and when each of the five days. For Days #2, #3 and #4 you are supposed to juice fast. It gives very specific instructions on what you can drink for example “it is BEST, while on this program NOT to mix fruit and vegetables together.” Should I be following these instructions and not mixing the fruit and vegetable juices?
        
        On Day 5, states I am supposed to break my fast it says “Remember, breaking your fast is a very important part of this program.” If this is the case how do I do this while doing a long term juice fast? I am not sure how long I will be juice fasting but I just wondered.
        
        Do I do the “Kidney stone/bad calcium flush" only if there is a dramatic lessening of urine flow? I am a little nervous that I won’t have any idea if I need to do this or not
        
        Day 1
        
        -- Bring the contents of each jar to a boil, cover, and allow to simmer for at least 15 minutes. Cool. Strain/press the contents of Jar #1 (putting used herbs in mulch pot/pile or throw away). After straining/pressing the contents of Jar #1 and disposing of the herbs, if necessary, add enough water to equal 1 quart (32 oz) of herb/apple juice mixture.
        
        After straining/pressing the contents of Jar #1 I refrigerate it, correct?
        
        --Drink all 32 ounces of the contents of Jar #1 at the rate of 2oz every waking hour (16 hours) - that is 2 Tablespoons (1/8 of a cup) every hour. Drink an extra 32 oz of distilled or R/O water on Day 1.
        
        So I need to make sure I am up for 16 hours or I have to wake up to drink the 2oz/hour correct?
        
        If doing this with a 5-Day Kidney cleanse, it is recommended to start this protocol on the 2nd day of the 5-Day cleanse.
        
        I would do a 2nd Kidney Cleanse with the Kidney Stone - Bad Calcium Flush, correct?
        
        Instructions for Kidney Tea:
        
        …. Let sit overnite and repeat the process again. Keep adding new herbs/water to the old ones until the evening of the third day, then discard all herbs and start over.
        
        Is there an easy way to strain the herbs out?
        
        Other questions:
        
        The Liver Tincture needs to be taken by itself because of the "bitters action", but other than those you can mix them together (and splash them with some boiling water to 'steam off' the majority of the alcohol, if you want to), and mix some juice with them (or not). So that makes the 'tincture thing' MUCH easier.
        
        Except for the liver one, can all the tinctures be mixed with juice or water for taste? For example the Echinacea, and Herbal Calcium Tincture? I am not sure if they all taste bad?
        
        Yes, we need a tablespoon or two of oil daily - but with the Wheat Germ Oil (1-3 T daily), the fish oil (if using) and all the olive oil for the liver cleansing (plus any oils in the fruits, veggies, sprouted seeds, nuts & grains), that seems plenty good to me. BUT, if you feel otherwise (and have evidence of other healers having used the oil successfully in a healing protocol), then by all means, add what you feel is necessary. (But be careful/cautious of adding something because of someone with no clinical experience that wrote a book about it and made thousands by publishing his/her "oil theories")
        
        That sounds like plenty to me. With the Wheat Germ oil how do you take it? Just drink it straight (sounds yucky) or mix? I am going to continue with my fish oil supplements. For the olive oil when you are not doing liver cleansing I do not think I would need to add additional, right? Especially if I am eating raw I would use it on my salads and such.
        
        I know you get this question a lot but what about protein? I know when I did raw there was a lot I read about it. I mainly got my protein from spirulina and other superfoods. Does the superfoods formula give me all I need? Would I need additional superfoods or is everything I need in the superfoods formula? Gotcha covered! The first three short "protein chapters" are very VERY good (this is written by a "Gerson person") Regarding Protein, Juicing, and Healing
        
        The links to the chapters are not working.
        
        The whole "oil thing" is kind of up for grabs (I wish I had totally solid answers, but I just can't find/get them, for this protocol). We know this 100% for sure - Gerson used ZERO oils (none-zada-zip-zilch) for his first years in practice - tried many kinds of oils/fats and found that fresh flaxseed oil was the only one that didn't cause cancer to grow or return. So he changed his protocol to include 1-3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil daily. period. Schulze had no added oils except the olive oil used for liver cleansing and flushing. In the SaveYourManual, we hear interviewer Bizer talking about his wife needs to add flaxseed oil and flaxseed, but we don't hear Schulze say that. Dr. Christopher was big on olive oil and wheat germ oil. The two oils that *I* recommend for this protocol are those two. If you haven't checked out the benefits of Wheat Germ oil, be sure to check these: Benefits of Wheat Germ Oil   Superfood Profile: Find the Health Benefits of Wheat Germ Oil
        
        Thank you I had never ever read anything on wheat germ oil sounds like good stuff!
        
        I currently have ground flaxseed that I am trying to eat each day for additional fiber. Would you recommend that I continue this? You're going to be getting plenty of fiber with the IF#2, but if you wanna throw in some more ground flax with the IF#2 (or take it separately), that'll work.
        
        Perhaps for the day when I stop IF#2 if that day comes!
        
        If you're not constipated now, you're not going to become constipated by improving your diet and starting the IF#1 (which is to make sure you don't get constipated!). Just start slowly - no hurries, no worries; it's a chance to 'make new friends' with more of Nature's/God's healing goodness. And always remember...you are NOT the first person to ever do this! Tens of thousands of people have used these exact products over many, many decades. Yes, it's new to you...but it's NOT new at all. Yes, you may be technically 'alone', but you're NOT 'all by yourself'...you've got all of us! (and for most of this, you really wouldn't want us any closer than we are! lol. It's one thing to share poop-stories on the 'net with strangers, it's a whole other experience to share a bathroom!)
        
        Thank you, I am excited!
        
        Are there any interactions I should worry about between any of this natural stuff and my migraine or other meds if I have to take them? Obviously my hope is I will no longer need them but if I have a migraine that won’t go away and need imitrex, narcotics etc could there be a problem? You mentioned St. John’s & imitrex, I also saw info on not mixing with narcotics. The most likely "reaction" with St. John's is that it will simply lower the blood level of the Imitrex. That's not really a chemical interaction, it just lowers the blood level because it helps the liver to detox the Imitrex faster. The Cayenne will not react with any pharmaceutical, so that's no problem for sure. After I see a list of what exactly you order, I'll be sure to check my database and see if I can find any others I'm might be missing or forgetting.
        
        Thank you very much for checking the database, I appreciate it. As I said I hope to stay away from everything but it is good to know just in case. The main things to check would be Imitrex, Percocet (in case the headache gets really bad). Phernergan and Zofran (in case the nausea is very bad)
        
        I see a lot of the tinctures are mixed with alcohol. Is there any concern about this making me drowsy or anything else?   Splash 'em with boiling water and the majority of the alcohol will evaporate away :)
        
        If I am out and use the tincture with a migraine should I be concerned with the alcohol since I am taking so much? I know the first few times I need to test when I am home to see if I have any effects. Just wondering your thoughts and what my alcohol level might be? Since I am out I cannot splash with the boiling water I was wondering.
        
        Also, I am taking a lot of tinctures with alcohol during the day so perhaps it is best for me to do the boiling water thing with them all when I am home because I do not want to get too tired?
        
        Castor Oil-In regards to castor oil I realize it is important but I do want to take some time and read through everything and then format my questions for you. Is this anything I would need to start right away or can it wait? At least until my liver flushes right? This would give me a bit to look it all over and do another post to you about it

        I was wondering if you could do me a favor that will save Uny time and also help all of us reading not to get so confused lol. Instead of cut and pasting all your old questions along with Uny's old answers in a new post with your new questions that sprung up from Uny's old answers, (whew, that was a mouthful lol) it would help if you could put just your new questions in a new post. Was that confusing lololololol?
        
        As you know, Uny is still working to get one of your posts answered, right now this is the post she's answering.
        
        For Uny-Next Round of Questions 9/27/10
        
        It's taking lots of extra time to figure out what's new in a post from what's old since there is so much, not that Uny has trouble remembering it's just that she has to read all the old stuff to find any possible new stuff in a post. Any questions that you've previously asked in any posts AFTER the one I've linked above, could you make a new post with ONLY new the questions, no old questions, no old answers, for Uny to start working on after she finishes the one she's working on now.
        
        I know this might take some time for you to go through all your posts you've posted after the one Uny is working on to compile all your questions but it sure would save time for Uny if you could do this.
        
        Thank you Jackie. I know how patient you've been and I know how much Uny appreciates it!

        Willow,
        
        I have done as you asked. It is in a new post titled "For Uny-Questions Only-Hope this helps!"
        
        As I mention in the post I was a little confused on whether or not I was to add questions after the “For Uny-Next Round of Questions 9/27/10 “ post or all questions left. Since there were only two or three questions after that post I decided to post all of the questions still left unanswered. Hopefully this is correct. If not please let me know. I am happy to do whatever is helpful.
        
        Willow please know I am grateful for your help and input. I appreciate the ways you have tried to answer my posts. Not just to help me but also to help Uny. I know I have asked a lot of her and I am grateful for the advice and thoughts you have given me!

        Maybe I should start with a sample? I think the ½ ounce sample would 5 teaspoon doses, right?
        
        I have some 1/2 bottles so when I read your question I went and filled one up with water to test it. You can't compare the droppersful on the 1/2 oz. sample bottles to the 2 & 4 oz. droppers because they are so much smaller. But I did fill the bottle and I poured out 3 full teaspoons and maybe about 5 drops and the bottle was empty. So, we can consider the 1/2 oz. sample bottle as holding 3 teaspoons.
        
        Just in case you didn't know, the reason Uny has the 1/2 oz. sample bottles is in case a person has extreme food reactions and wants to make sure the tincture would be ok for them, another example would be the sedative tinctures because what works for one might not work as well for another. The 1/2 sample bottles do not contain enough tincture to be of any healing benefit, they're only for a trial.
        
        Hope this helps.

        Thank you for the info Willow, I appreciate it. I do realize the samples are for trial. Some of the items on my list Uny has suggested I try first and others such as the Sleeping Aids I was thinking might be best to try first so I can see how they affect me. I am grateful to have a chance to try them first since with much of this I do not know how I will respond to it.If it works believe me I will have no problem ordering!

        Yes, I did figure I would only get one or two tries from the sample but I figure especially with the sleep I might know right off if there is an issue!
        
        No I have not tried barefootin yet for sleep? Has it helped you?
        
        Thanks again for all the help and your thoughts. I appreciate it especially since you also have migraine and sleep issues. Would you mind sharing with me what you have found to help you the most with the migraines and how they have improved? I realize we are different but it would be great to hear your experience if you would care to share! I struggle with many issues but the migraines and the fatigue are the two biggest right now

    Hi Jackie,
    
    I'm so sorry it took me so long to post this, I've meant to do it as soon as I saw your post but I guess life got in the way lol!
    
    Willow mentioned to me that she uses B&B tincture as a sleep aide. Can you tell me a little about this and if you think I should try it as well as the Lady's Slipper? If possible, I think it might be good to have more than one sleep thing to try. That way I can try and stay away from the pharmaceuticals and the melatonin. Sorry to ask another question but I wanted to get your thoughts before I ordered.
    
    Since I saw your post I've been reading everything I could get my hands on by Dr. Christopher and for the life of me I can't find where Dr. Christopher mentioned B & B helping with sleep. It must be on one of his CDs I have but I just don't have the time to listen to them all right now. Take my word for it, he did mention it and it sure does work extremely well for me in regards to promoting sleep. There are several nerve herbs in the formula which is why it works well for me I guess.
    
    Something you'll come to know on your natural healing journey is that what works for one might now work or work as well for the other. The formula is the same but our bodies are all different. Just a quick example for you. I take the Lobelia tincture almost everyday and it doesn't make me sleepy at all but Uny tells me that when she takes the Lobelia tincture it makes her sleepy. It's the same formula but two different bodies.
    
    I have a feeling that Uny is going to recommend the B & B tincture for you so I don't think you'll have to worry about ordering it just for sleeping but since you'll have it you could try it for that. I agree, it's always good to have more than one option on hand. And YES, I also agree that you want to stay away from the pharmaceuticals at all costs lol!
    
    Be sure and let us know when you get your order if the B & B worked for you for sleep.
    
    Let me add that I am astonished that someone wants to gift me $100 toward a water distiller. I have been so affected by all that you have done and continue to do for me. I do not even know how fully express my gratitude to you. In addition during the short time I have been posting several people on the forum have already touched me with their kindness and input. Including but certainly not limited to Willow, Water, Blueciel, and even your husband. Now a complete stranger has come along and through their action has blessed me more than just financially. It is one thing for a friend, family member or even an acquaintance to do such a thing but someone that does not even know me but has just read my posts? What an example of selflessness! There is so much more I wish I could say but I am not sure I could find the words to express my gratitude. So thank you to the person who has blessed me by their generosity and thoughtfulness.
    
    I'm in complete agreement with what you say about this forum in the paragraph above. We have all been blessed to have found a place where we can come to learn how to heal ourselves naturally, a place of support and of true caring about people. I think we're a great bunch of people (if I do say so myself lol) who love our fellow man and want to pay it forward when we've been blessed. It's a wonderful thing to see it in action!!!!! I'm so happy you're going to have your pure water!
    
    Thanks for sharing that with us Jackie!
    
    Blessings,

    I've just copied the .html and am going to the Test Forum to play around with it.
    
    The problem (potential problem) when taking something from Word to another editor and then pasting into one of CZ's editors, is that each editor adds it's own set of .html code to the original...and ultimately it can't be 'read' by the ending editor.
    
    That's why the 'safest best' SHOULD be copying it from Word and then using the "insert from Word command" on the FCK or MCE...but that doesn't always work (and it definitely doesn't work if one pastes something in the middle of the original text from someplace else) because that 'paste' includes the html coding from whatever it was copied from, but not the original/ending coding from the original.
    
    When I look at the original post in .html from Jackie, it looks like there's around FIVE pages of html at the beginning. I'm going to delete those and see if the post retains the formatting...if it does, I'll paste a copy under her original.
    
    Technology ARGGHHH! We all do our best, but it's tough to manipulate what we can't see (and what most don't understand even if they saw it).

    Method: - I copied the html code from the original post above, pasted it in a new post (MCE) in the test forum and clicked the "paintbrush icon" (clean up messy code). It gave me a message that it was taking too long and did I want to continue (typical); I clicked "yes". (I did this two times). Then I copied the result, came back here (in MCE) and pasted it below, using the 'paste' option from my browser/Firefox).

    Method: Pasted original html into post at Test Forum, and edited out (what appeared to be) several pages of unneccessary code at the beginning of the post, leaving only the code that was for the first paragraph. Posted. Then copied that post, came here, hit reply/MCE and pasted (via my browsers paste command). All done, me, this :)

      I just went it and deleted many paragraphs of "code" at the top of each of the posts. I can read them now (but of course, I've always been able to read them).
      
      For Jackie/everyone (particularly if you don't know .html and have no idea how to go into a post and make sense of the 'source code'):
      
      The best way to use the Text Editors is to type directly into them (without pasting anything from any other source). When we create a post 'somewhere else' and then paste it into CZ's Text Editor, then the Text Editor is dealing with TWO sets of code...and that's when things become unreadable to some people (or when the way it looks to one is different from someone else). There have been many of Waters posts that look perfect to her, but I have to scroll sideways to see them (and some have/had enormous font-size)...that's because she uses a RTE (Rich Text Editor) to compose her posts and pastes from that.
      
      Of course, we take the major risk of losing everything we type when we type directly into CZ's Text Editors (btdt WAY too many times). I've recently found an add-on for FireFox that will recover anything you've typed into any 'form' on the 'net if you 'lose it'...it's been a total lifesaver. If you use FireFox, I highly recommend adding it on!: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6984/
      
      The 2nd best way to use CZ's Text Editors is to create the post in Word, and then be sure to use the "insert from Word" icon to insert what was copied from the Word Document. Again, if we insert something from another source (including copy/paste from another post), it can end up being 'too much code', and people see different things (or nothing).
      
      It seems to always work best if we remember to paste into the Text Editors using one of the little icons for pasting...but the fact is that no matter HOW we do it, sometimes it gets messed up. For example, there is no way from FireFox or IE that I'm able to embed a video or audio...zero, nada, zilch, not a chance :::sigh::::)
      
      Of course, when we post something and we can see it clearly, we have no idea anything's wrong. In this case:
      (I'm running Win XP and using Firefox and/or IE), I had no problem seeing the originals; Willowley is on a Mac using Safari --mostly--) and she had no problem either) ...all I think I could see is that you likely created the document in a different editor and then pasted it into one of the Text Editors (and that created "messy code" or "too much code" for THESE Text Editors to display properly to every persons computer/browser). PLEASE don't stress about it - it happens ALL the time...and one of us will always figger it out.
      
      Blessings,
