Are you thinking of telling your Mom to use herbal and alternative self treatments and have you used this type of treatment yourself? I would suggest you study the programs mentioned on this forum and take note of the problems an older person might encounter. Hulda Clark devotes a section in ' The Cure For All Diseases ' - Pushing Back Aging - for elders. In the first part of this book Clark describes various cleanses (parasite, kidney, Liver) and notes modification for older people because some of the cleanses are too strong.
It would help if you would describe more of your Mom's problems and whether she is very ill with her problems.
