No, these are formulas which were put together by Dr. John R. Christopher. He founded the School of Natural Healing and was an awesome man. He believed that his formula were given to him by a higher source and should be available to everyone, so he never tried to patent any thing - he wrote down the formulas so everyone would have access to them. Over the past few years, I have had a number of people tell me that many of the formulas I recommend are not being made the way they once were and don't seem to be as potent. I have also been told some of them are hard to find, so next month I am going out to Ohio to spend some time with Barefoot to put together my own line of formulas. That way when I recommend something - I will know that it is the strength and quality I say it is.
