Searching for the Sam Biser ‘Save your Life’ Herbal Video Collection, interviewing master herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze

Hi! I'm on a hunt for the Sam Biser ‘Save your Life’ Herbal Video Collection, interviewing master herbalist Dr. Richard Schulze . Do you have a copy? If yes, I'd like to borrow the set and transfer into a digital format. Then I would return the original VHS videos plus a flash-drive with a digital version to you. Alternatively, I'm happy to buy the collection outright if you no longer have interest in it. (I do have a print copy of the accompanying book and transcript, however I once did watch one of the tapes and would love to have access to all the videos - so potent hearing and seeing them share the wisdom!)

Dry fast and questions.

36 hours in to my dry fast.
I have some questions.

So, I am not thirsty, in fact I used to drink 2 gal of water a day and still have a parched mouth even if I wasn't doing any heavy activity. Not with a dry fast. Nice.

So what would be the symptom for drinking water, I plan on going atleast 3.5 more days dry.

Also, I have no health problems, I don't know what is the signal to end fasting that my body has healed itself.

How do you guys prepare for a fast ?
I essentially was on the road and ate copious amounts of junk food for 3-4 days ahead of the fast.

I was trying to eat out my cravings, and seem to have done that.
That brings me to my next question.

How would I end the fast. I am hoping to get to where all my visceral fat is eliminated and I can eat a low carb diet and maintain under 150lb.

Thanks.
Srinath.

Coffee

Is it a good idea to have an exclusive coffee shop [such as CCD, Barista] serving different varieties and flavors of black coffee?

i get so tired of it all!!

my body is shot and has been for the past 14 years. just writing to vent here and get it out. seems like there is a consequence to everything i put in my body regardless if it's supposed to be healthy or not.

candida is a major issue: i have chronic athlete's foot, a coated tongue, and white stringy things acommpany my every bowel movement. i can't fight it because the toxins that are released make me sicker and i think the candida is there because my body is overwhelmed in the first place...it has to be opportunistic so there has to be something else behind it. probiotics cause horrific die-off for me but really get me nowhere. i finally did test positive for Lyme disease and could not take anymore Antibiotics after 3 gut-wrenching years on them. i know there are viruses and parasites involved too. i completed 30 days on Humaworm and felt unbelievably crappy the whole time but got no results in the end. i always knew there was a viral component and it was finally validated when i had a painful breakout on my thumb earlier this year. so i have candida, parasites, viruses, and probably Lyme too...everything but the kitchen sink!! i must say though, at least i tested negative for heavy metals.

it all began in 1997 with 24/7 sweating, headaches, ears ringing, body pain all over and mental confusion. after 6 months the symptoms of a severe infection lessened and left me functionally ill but still extremely sick. no diagnosis despite 20+ doctors, several blood tests, a spinal tap, and a medical chart larger than a set of encyclopedias.

i know my liver is completely challenged. Liver Flushes release so many toxins that this is not an option. Liver Cleansing herbs make me feel like i want to die. almost everything i consume brings on vertigo and ringing in my ears. dark circles under the eyes are the usual...i look like hell even after a long sleep. bowel movements are sluggish and totally unhealthy looking with undigested food. almost everyday i'm dizzy...so very dizzy i don't know how i still function. everytime i see a doctor and mention my symptoms it is a complete waste of time. so i quit going to doctors altogether. even the last naturopath i went to gave me stuff that caused my health to spiral downhill even faster.

i'm focused on coming up with a gentle approach to remove the poisons from my body. i still believe there is a major pathogen(s) behind this so i take Monolaurin regularly and it actually seems to be doing something as i get a good 'ole herx from it sometimes. i chose Monolaurin as my pathogen fighter because it works on yeast, viruses, and bacteria. i'm upping my dose so slowly on Monolaurin that it wll probably take a year to get to a therapeutic level. tonight i started taking glutathione and NAC and so far they don't feel too troublesome, but the NAC kind of is upsetting my stomach and may have given me shortness of breath. i have zeolite and i'm thinking this may help if i start slowly. seriously, i can't even take a fragment of a multivitamin without ending up on the floor.

every once in a blue moon i will have a near symptom-free day, believe it or not. the scariest thing about these days is i know when i wake up the next morning it will be hell again until the next blue moon. though i know deep down that if i have a "feel good" day then it is possible to have them more often and maybe someday permanently.

i've tried it all: zappers, herbs, every supplement from A-Z, coffee enemas, colonics, probiotics, Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , Colloidal Silver , ozone, hydrogen peroxide, Cowden Lyme Protocol, mild hyperbarics, infrared sauna, and this list goes on and on...

sometimes i wonder how i'm still alive and why. i don't know the "how" part because i've felt like i was on death's door so many times over the years, especially the last 2 years. the "why" must be that i'm supposed to conquer this for the love of myself and those around me.

anyway, thanks for listening. it feels kind of nice to write to people who probably struggle much the same. it just sucks being a medical riddle.

Its baaaaaack - TN

My Trigeminal Neuralgia is back.

7 years ago I had Trigeminal Neuralgia, but it went away after I got all my teeth removed.

At that time, I had FLU LIKE SYMPTOMs, I see in my diary.

Again now, I had just gotten over a flu and the TN hit.

Does anyone else relate flu and TN?

There are also "seasonal factors" - they say TN is more common in the spring and fall, perhaps due to the low angle of the sun. For sure, bright sunlight triggers my TN now {I was just outside and it started to hit, I came in an it is not getting worse, it has not hit full on yet today}

Also, and I feel so stupid about this, it is tomatoe season and I love bacon and tomatoe sandwiches and so I have been eating BACON, which has nitrates , which are a known trigger for TN. I know better than to eat bacon, for lots of reasons. Silly me.

Anyone else with TN have these triggers/precipitating factors?

And what are you doing to treat the TN? I got Carbamazipine yesterday from the ER. It seems to be helping, as I felt an attack come on this afternoon but nothing happened.

I would sure like to hear from other TN victims.
