Re: Steroid-induced Osteoporosis

The suggested dose on the cleansing herbs is 2 capsules three times per day.  When I have used this cleanse, I take 3 capsules twice a day - I think it's easier to deal with than having to fit three dosages into my day.  The exception to this would be the lower bowel formula - with this one, you take as much as you need to get two to three comfortable bowel movements per day.  In order to make sure your bones are getting what they need to rebuild, I would suggest 2 - 4 oz of fresh wheatgrass juice every day, along with two or three green drinks each day - either fresh or made from a good 'green' powder.  I would then soak at least once per day (twice would be better) in a comfrey or BF&C bath.  As you incorporate a cleansing program, fasting, green drinks, soaking and a good diet, your body will take advantage of the opportunity to cleanse and rebuild.  In order to strengthen the bones, you might also want to start doing some light resistance training.  They have found in many studies with the elderly (which you certainly are not - however, the principle is the same) that if they will do some light weight lifting - it does amazing things to help strengthen their bones and their muscle tone.  When you are dealing with frail bones, it is important to keep the muscles strong enough to hold everything in place.

As far as the lungs are concerned - there are herbs and oils which are specific to helping cleanse the lungs, such as: lobelia, mullein, eucalyptus, lungwort, balm of gilead, black cohosh, blue cohost, etc.  However, I think you will find that if you focus on cleansing and nourishing the whole body, along with hot, steamy showers to open the air ways and break up the mucus, mild exercise, making sure you have fresh air in  your bedroom at night, and strengthening the bones - you will probably find that the body will take care of the problem on it's own.  As you cleanse and nourish, the body will take everything in stages - when it is strong enough, it will begin to eliminate whatever is causing the problem - which means you will probably start coughing up (possibly vomiting up) large amounts of mucus and debris which will clean out the lungs and airways.

Yes, the videos have been changed to DVDs and are available through the Dr Mom's Health Club.  You receive one class per month, along with hand-outs, newsletters, recipes, herbal identification, and organic gardening tips which are sent to your e-mail each week.  I have recently taken over the website myself and am in the process of changing the entire site, so, if you try to go to it and it is down or not functioning correctly - be patient - check back and hopefully, my learning curve will not take too long in learning how to work with it.
