Subject: Long but Thoughtful Questions Before Order
Dear MH:
Thank you for your responses. I've been doing a lot of reading and self-experimenting with mono diet and juices, bathing and breathing. Here is a list of what I am interested in ordering, along with my questions. I will try to provide history/reasons why I am ordering so you can better guide me on how to order more intelligently and cost-effectively. And, if anything leads you to recommend things not listed on your price list, I am interested. After I receive your reply, I can place a formal order on your website or via email.
Ok -- here goes:
1. Sponsor the school (plus free dewormer/STUDY GUIDES that comes with sponsorship)
This was some what phased out with the making of a website school, now each order gives you the free username ### and password #### that is the current codes, these change a few times per year. The sponsors do get a free bottle of d/w or l/s with orders over $100, but the list was limited to 108 people and not sure if I will phase the sponsorship as well.
2. Pre-cleanse kit -- Is the L/G Cleanse-CVRB the name for the lecithin/olive oil?
YES, it is also a BF&C oil formula as well. Ideally a person buys a gallon of Lecithin Oil for $34.95 and makes their own Lecithin/Olive Oil formula.
On one drop a day, how long would oregano last?
At least a year or more I would think.
How long will this amount of LBB last?
Depends on the dose, I would figure 1 bottle per person per year to start with, more if a person is into fasting.
3. The advanced kit -- I am interested in Mrs. Barefoot and Max Restore, but prefer syrups to capsules.
Max restore is only a liquid
Mrs. Barefoot only a powder or capsules
I am curious about Longevity Spices, is it equivalent to No Crash?
As a liquid it has many of the same herbs, but the No Crash is a special smoothie formula designed to hold lecithin in suspension and as well ferment the drink for 24 hours before drinking. It is very complicated to make and few had interest in it, so I am phasing it out.
I like the idea of doing "No Crash-all in one" shake from your Longevity Page and to make "balls" to help with hunger during juice fasting.
YES, the theory is one of the best and most forgotten/secret in North American Healing, I mixed 3 doctor's methods to come up with it, it is possible the best theory of all time, but too scarry for people to try and it alo takes a littl time to make and people just won't spend time on them selves. I have maybe 3 pounds left and don't plan on making it again.
This kit has another oregano oil -- is it the same kind as the pre-clease and just a different size?
If you look in the school website under products it has a list, with out looking I am not sure, again, these products rarely ever sale. ONLY the current products are shown in the school, some of the products shown in web pages is out dated material that I need to go through and erase out of the web site.
I was thinking of getting (instead of or in addition to) the oregano oil formulas you have for kids that are already diluted -- such as maple rescue and oregano/safflower.) Not sure if the kit is the way to go and order a couple of additional items, or if I'm needlessly doubling up on things? Help!
The maple rescue was phased out, the oregano/safflower formula is what we have raised all our kids with. Basically you can never have enough oregano oil, most people dream of buying a Kilo. The oregano has been all sold and everyone waiting for the new season. This demand is making the prices double and double as the market demands.
4. Books: Before I found you, I found some of Dr. C's books on CD -- including Natural Healing, Childhood and Woman's. This line of reading is what then lead me to you. I would like to order the olive leaf and oregano books and the Amish healer hard back book. Do you still have the Amish book? Can you tell me more about the Dr. Mom book?
Dr. Mom was trained by Dr. Christopher, she also replaced Dr. Richard Shulse when he was removed as a teacher for the school of natural healing. I saved hr 12 video educational courses that she phased out as she got older, etc.. All women love her education and she only prints very few books, I mean an order for her is like 24 books at a time! The books are rare. I have 8 of the amish books left, they were printed one time and will never be printed in hard back again by the author who I am now making his books for him as you will see on the web school books.
5. Sorghum Molassas. I like blackstrap molassas so I'm pretty sure I'll love sorghum and that my son will gobble it up. But, I'm thinking it must cost a fortune to ship 5gal to California? So, I definitely want sorghum and just wonder about size to order. Any thoughts?
The black strap in general really stinks compared to Sorghum, if the sorghum was made properly. Many Amish try to make Sorghum, but only one man makes it in volume correctly and he is the largest producer at about 2,000 gallons per year. We often buy 25% of his production. We have 1/2 gallon for $21.95 and 5 gallon for $179.95, shipping is never good to the west coast, probably cost $50-$60 to ship a 5 gallon bucket is my guess. We only have 2 buckets left, but plenty of the 1/2 gallons.
Also, do you have maple syrup for purchase? We would love some!
It is becoming rare in our area, the winters just don't get cold enough. I phased the sale of it out last year, we can pick up some locally, but he just doesn't have much anymore, he is lucky to make 200 gallons on a good year.
6. Olive leaf tea. What is a good size to order for making that strong tea you talk about.
1 pound bag makes 2+ gallons of strong tea, simmer for 2 + days till dark. In CA olive trees are available in many locations or grow your own. We charge $21.95 a pound.
And, can I drink it every day?
It is a pleasant tea if you sweeten it with maple syrup or sorghum, it does no harm to drink it every day and not toxic at any level.
Will I want to? Can children drink it?
If they like it!
Can I sweeten it enough to make a child want to?YES, plenty of sorghum makes it a great all purpose healer and bone/teethe builder.
7. Olive leaf powder or tincture? I am putting together a hiking backpack (snakes, spiders, ticks, mosquitos, poison ivy, etc.) and a first aid kit for my family (cuts, burns, bites, rashes, food poisoning, cold/coughs, etc), so looking for the best forms of olive and oregano to be multi-functional. Guidance appreciated.
USE diluted oregano for ALL. The safflower/oregano 1 drop will stop hornit stings in 10 seconds and 5 minutes later you will never knew you were attacked. Children that take a few drops of diluted oregano by mouth daily are not stung by bees or bitten by ants. If I was bitten by a deadly snake, I would put oregano on the bite and take under the tongue or inside cheek every few minutes until out of danger. FOR specific to snake bite, you carry a 4 ounce bottle of Echinacea Tincture, if bitten drink the entire bottle, it stops the blood from clotting which stops the snake from killing you. In old days it was used as SNAKE OIL, in that the traveling salesman attracked a crowd and then had people applie their local poisonous snakes to his arm and the bites would cause no harm and he would sale gallons of his snake oil, today we call this snake oil, ECHINACEA Flowers that are easily grown anywhere in the USA.
7. My history:
Formula-fed, fake-food eating childhood with tons of Antibiotics , vaccines, etc.
Identical to me and I had a full mouth of mercury by age 12
Always showed signs of sluggish thyroid, but not diagnosed until recently. Entire puberty and young adulthood drugged up on birth control pills and over-the-top amounts of accutane prescribed for acne, abnormally high "male" hormones and delayed/scatty menses. Continued until wanted to get pregant. After a year of no drugs, still got no period, so this was followed by 5 years of increasingly powerful infertility drugs/surgeries/procedures in my late twenties and early thirties. Age 32 became pregnant from infertility drugs/procedures. "High risk" pregnancy due to decended placenta placing pressure on the uterus and causing much to early contractions. During birth, hemmoraged which led to emergency/traumatic c-sec and partial hysterectomy (placenta was attached to uterus as a "wall" of the placenta) and (yikes) a blood transfusion. Still have ovaries.
Sad, but typical for many today, all by design of the very doctors women seek for health.
Did armour thyroid for 3 years and some hormones before I finally realized this was all insane. Had been free of white flour/sugar/junk food since trying to become pregnant, and for the last year I took myself off all doctor's drugs and have been been done with doctors and poisons.
GOOD START
Due to my current clean living and a spiritual life, I lead an active, enjoyable life. I can play and do sports with my son, I love yoga. But, none of that has been enough -- I am turning 40 next month and remain plagued with an acid-wrecked body: Acne, frontal hair loss, hypothyroid/weight gain on minimal eating, hormonal imbalances....
Naturally age 40 is considered super high risk with medical in the usa. It is zero problem with a healthy body, your problem being your past.
For all this I have been adding in sitz baths to correct the flow, walking on the beach and rebounding to help lymph. Little by little, I am incorporating your other suggestions as well. But, I wonder if herbal help would be supportive and help my body along?
The proper sitz bath will correct all that can be corrected in the reproductive areas. The Dr. John R. Christopher treatment plan is for you! The compete REBUILD before you want to be pregant will save your child a lifetime of problems and save your life in the process. The female herbs are the higher dollar herbs, because false unicorn can easily go over $100 a pound etc..many women do not want to do the bolus thing, but if done correctly, it is easy. My wife's mother did the entire routine and changed her life, her looks and got rid of cancer and more. You need to read the Christopher method, Christopher teached it and so does Dr. Mom.
So what do you think about:
Hormone Balance. Does it come in syrup?\
We only have in capsules at the present time. Expensive and works slow, but needed by most people 21 and older. 1-2 capsules daily as one can afford.
Calcium Balance -- should I add at this age? Or does Mrs. Barefoot cover this?
1'3rd the Mrs. Barefoot Formula, but when pregnant my wife will say even to take more of the calcium capsules if you have any problems on 21 mrs. barefoot daily. I suggest in your case 21 Mrs. barefoot daily possibly for life if you can afford to do so, if you call my wife Brenda, she will sale you on this formula, all her family are true believers male and female alike, the older you are, the more you take or if wanting or while pregnant.
Red Raspberry syrup or tea for reproductive area?
I would drink the tea. Mixed with other teas would be great as well. The liquid I make just makes it easy, but very cheap to just make tea.
Top Knot spray (blond formula) -- no gray hair, but do you have anything yet to add in for circulation/growth?
The Annoiting Oil 1 drop on the top/back of the skull is the powerful formula for hair/circulation and spirit connection. The topknot is OK, but originally you made a tea and drank this formula, which may be the very best way for the hair and yu also rinsed your hair in this tea.
Mulit-herbal (to get potassium AND iodine) for a kelp or green Iodine formula for hypothyroid?
I have made Lugol's Iodine for many years and never seen it do anything but kill bacteria/skin, etc...the tree natural Iodine shows up with stronger finger nails in just a month, so i know it works, but do not have a long history with it yet, but my guess is that it is the only real Iodine made and all others synthetic poisons or fakes. I have no clue what it will do for a person, it all depends on their health and their dose, i is very self-experimental and not toxic like commercial iodines are.
I have always found elderberry tincture and syrup to be very, very beneficial to me on many levels and helps my overall skin texture and body functioning. I'm just drawn to it. Do you make a syrup or tincture yourself?
I make elderberry tincture and use this in formulas, the bushes grow wild around our area. Dr. Christopher stated he could cure any cancer with proper use of elderberry tincture because of the high potassium content.
Can you explain the difference between: Multi-herbal syrup
Not sure if your refering to PICA or the Iodine formula or even the Longevity Spices, all 3 are multi-herbal formulas.
and Postassium Rich syrup?
This formula is based on the top herbs known to be highest in Potassium. Multi formulas will be a little of many herbs.
Are these overkill while I'm on the dewormer?
ALL of my liquid formulas use oregano/olive leaf/sorghum with the herbs, so yes and no, because the products are dose related, if they ain't workin, your not taking enough and they ALL can be mixed together as demonstrated in the Longevity Spices Formula.
YOU wanting to become pregnant are restricted to specific herbs if your cautious or can use anything while cleansing and then restrict while attempting pregnancy. The Christopher method NEVER fails, so i suggest you seek his methods to produce a healthy baby. The Dr. Mom book and videos are for you as well Shulse and Chrisopher, these 3 sources will help you understand and apply.
I love burdock root tea. Do you make your own? I buy Alvita brand, but since it is a commercial brand, not sure if it does any good?
This grows wild in our yard/woods etc...for my formulas I dig my own, otherwise to sale the root we buy from a good source. No one has ever asked for it before. It is a powerful blood cleanser, Again, women seeking pregnacy can not use most of these powerful herbs with out caution.
Does it get too complicated to add these in?
Liver Itch -- I get cystic Acne along my chin line and lower cheeks (lymph issues), but while juicing, even though I have plenty of bowel movements, I get something new: Acne on my scalp, and unrelenting, irritated red bumps (some with pus heads and some not) on my chest and back. Absent all other foods except pressed juice and herbal teas, when I eat avocado, I get increased Acne with pus on my face (mostly chin and lower cheeks) and light green vaginal discharge (no smell). When I eat nori or spirulina powder I get increased red bumps on my forehead and general ruddiness of skin and my son says I'm smell stinky. The only time acne is less is when I'm on just juice, but the red bumps on my scalp and body gets worse.
This is a VERY/VERY powerfull formula that works GREAT! I rarely ever have a gallon in stock because of the rare herbs used and again, GREAT, as long as your not seeking to become pregnant.
ImmuCalm --I am a strawberry blond, so always been prone to "redhead" issues like over-senstivity and rashiness/ruddiness from food, sweating/exertion, nervousness, embarrassment, sunshine, etc. And allergies to dogs, cats, dust, smoke, cleaning products, make-up, etc. I avoid all these things. But, we got a large poodle last year -- and I have definitley felt my immune system to be a more reactive. Sigh...
YES, great product. Kick the dog out, no room with your condition and babies around! Pet are great, when they are out side only. NEVER when health problems are present.
8. History of my son who is now 8 years old: Born at just 4lb 11 ounces. Took 6 weeks before he and I could nurse -- I was giving him milk through a syringe: pumped breast milk and supplemented with formula (which he was clearly allergic to -- came right out his skin and got blood in stool) -- luckily after that he latched on and nursed exclusively for one year. Unfortunately he has been fully vaccinated. Small for his age (so am I). Words and ability to make complex sentences and jokes/storytelling came early. (Among his first words mango and berries -- his favorite foods!) However, all growth milestones came much more slowly. Very tiny feet, slow to grow and suffers from teeth that were VERY slow to come in and are now VERY slow to come out. His first tooth was around 16 months old. And took months to fully come down. His next one was 19 months and the next ones were many months later. All his teeth are small and kind of "crumbly" and not white-white. He has already had several cavities filled with white stuff (before I knew better.) He has been raised without sugar/junk food (and television), but from reading your book/posts, I know this is really an internal issue that started with my own ill-health. Also, I drank/ate a ton of soy while pregnant -- a little worried about hormone issues that could cause..... Again, due to clean lifestyle and great spirit, he leads an active life, but I hope his bones and organs and hormones can be fortified, so he can go on in this world in vibrant health. So, for him what do you think about:
He started life like too many others before him have, but now MOM has it in the right direction:
PICA syrup- Made this for my kids.
Echinacea Rt/Olive Leaf syrup - When ever signs of sickness appear.
Oregano/Safflower Oil - A few drops every day and many drops if sick.
Tooth/Gum powder and Tooth Restore Spray and is there a syrup for teeth/bones for a child?
GOOD IDEA, I need to make a tooth syrup, basically mix tooth and gum with the PICA formula. Our kids all use the tincture spray, a few sprays on the teeth and brusg and swallow, use NO WATER! Your child will need help with the teethe for life, LOTS of minerals such as sorghum and calcium formula or mrs barefoot. We put these in the milk bottle or direct into the mouth and mother puts child back on! The earlier the better.
BF&C tea to put in bath?
This would be exotic and was a super cure by the greatest known catholic healer over 100 years ago!
Help with bones? Or just if broken?
I would drink the BF&C or use as a soak for hurt tissues/bones. If bone broken take 20-50 capsules per day for 6 weeks.
Anything to help his nervous system? (no ADD or anything, just for his tight muscles and jaw and lack of really deep sleep while sleeping?) He was also very decended for most of the pregnancy and pressed near my hip bones -- so I'm sure there is compression that needs the help of the right kind of chiropractor -- need a solid referral because in California there are way too many charlatans)
Good Chiropractor for you both, once a month and more when your pregnant. Call my ChiropractorTont Schneider 937-652-1516 and he can quickly tell you a website to look up or may look it up for you or even kno someone in your area. He has no secratery, so call until he answers.
9. For whole family:
BF&C syrup and tea GREAT!
Sleep-Eze to help me while cleansing. ok for child? if yes, guidance please.
WORKS WONDERS FOR ALL, it enables the body to relax. I made this formula, not copied from anywhere. People say it works better tan drugs, but it is just safe herbs, no side effects. I say take 2 before bed and 2 anytime you wake up. Try 1 with children, we have no experience with children needing it.
Eye wash and Eye balance syrup (I wear contacts) Christopher's eye formula, great for all.
B&W Salve- must have in case of burns or skin damage. Some women use as a beauty creme.
powdered cayenne for external first aid- stops bleeding in 10 seconds. Pour into wound, no matter how deep and don't wash the wound, just keep adding more cayenne daily. NO SCARS, quick heal.
Skinners Salve (is this for all around kid stuff?)
A must for all children, when breathing is restricted, use skinners on their feet and chest. ALSO, just smear on apie plate at night time and the house will fill with the vapors and all will sleep peacfully.
Do you find many uses for ACV/honey or with oregano, or does olive leaf and oregano take care of anything ACV is good for? (I currently wash my hair with ACV since I'm off of all shampoos).
This formula is an anti-cold formula. Vinegar is Christopher's method to wash hair/skin, dilute 50% or more with water and then wash.
how to keep mosquitos from biting? big problem out here.
Oregano oil, a few drops diluted daily and bugs won't bite.
When/why to use blood purify? Just wasn't clear what it is and for what?
The most famous cancer herbalk formula of all time, given by God to sitting Bull/Christopher/Hoxey all on the same day. A powerful blood purifier.
REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS, I make these old formulas MY WAY, if you want their exact formulas, always buy from their companies.
And, for all the things boys and husbands get into, is there anything else you think you could not raise your family without?
MUST LIST:
Pure Oregano, it can always be diluted.
Sorghum
Lower Bowel capsules
BOOK I, II, III, IV, V and Christopher Books
This pretty well empowers a family to defend them selves from the world.
10. And, finally: I have chlorine/heavy metal filters on my shower. Cannot find much for bathtubs. What do you do?
Skip these filters, they really do not work and they create hiding spots for bacteria, if you use filters change them every 30 days.
And, how would you make a hottub/jacuzzi chemical-free? Do you like ozone?
OZONE 24/7 for the life of the tub. 35% food grade Peroxide when needed. A dropper of pure oregano once in a while or when anyone is sick. A quart of concentrated ocean water or deep earth salt may be even better. NEVER use a filter, cut it out and use a towel that you can change every few days and wash in washer machine.
Thank you for your guidance. I hope you don't mind the abundance of information and questions. I formed this email to you only after much reading, experimenting and thinking.
This has to be a record e-mail, so I will post it on the forum as an example to others, I will remove your name, etc..
Hopefully I only get one like this once a year!
Blessings,
MH
With gratitude,
