Office Clearance of Herbal Education: I am letting go of my collection of audio and VHS lectures, CRA training, Tree of Light Herbal Hours – about 3 pages cataloged, that go back to 1980. It is time for clearing out and I hope I have most of this great education stored somewhere in my brain computer. If anyone wants any of this information, email me with subject: “Education resources list”. If you are local, we can arrange pick-up. If mailing out, you will just have to pay postage. Or, for those attending Convention in Toronto in October, we may be able to bring with us.

 Business Coaching and Brilliant Body

There is ongoing coaching to help others start their own business using the Brilliant Body CD’s!  The package includes 10 Power Points and all the tools to educate yourself and others on how your body works – all this for only $25! Phone the office anytime for help!

Vaccination Awareness

A new vaccine was just announced in the US, which combines two more vaccines for 2 month old babies. This brings the total to about 9 vaccines to be injected into a baby’s blood before 6 months; suggesting to give them ALL at the same time! Unfortunately for future generations NO studies have been done to determine the long term effects on a child’s immune system by assaulting them with things like formaldehyde, mercury, aluminum, chicken eggs, viruses and other foreign toxins.

In the natural health field, we DO see children becoming less resistant to basic germs due to weaker immunity. At the same time there is an increase in allergies to everything, in learning and behavioral challenges, and an increase in autism.

Before you dumb your child down with unproven vaccines, that ‘may’ offer ‘some’ immunity for ‘some’ time (although no scientists are really sure how much, or how long), please study the issues. Also for adults, especially seniors, who are often frightened into annual flu shots, only to get sick within the month. However, if they die, well…. they were old, right? Then of course there are the scams we know have happened where vaccines such as the swine flu have caused more deaths than they have prevented….. I could go on, but suggest instead that you do your own research. Contact our office for a list of excellent websites to start your own research, and check out some tips on our website for Safe Vaccine Alternatives.

Only 1 minute, 30 seconds – humourous and to the point. The Enbridge Pipeline is a disaster waiting to happen. Please make your voice heard before it is too late.

Herbal Intensive 2012 a success!

Courses and Events, Herbal Wisdom, , , , , , , , , , , ,

We had 10 people take part in our 2012 Annual Medicine Wheel workshop to learn how the four elements can be used to understand the actions and principles of herbs, and then how this apply this knowledge to help keep us healthy.

A smaller group of us joined together for the next 3 days of the Annual Herbal Intensive, and what fun we had! As usual, we prepared a St. John’s Wort tincture, Herbal Savory Vinegar, St. Joan’s oil, Prunella Vulgaris (Heal All) Glycerite, Yarrow Tinctract and Four Quadrants Healing Salve, along with many infusions, decoctions, a poultice, eyewash…..and more. We shared herbal knowledge, stories and deepened our understanding of how our health can be improved mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, thus applying the four elements of Medicine Wheel in more depth.

Below are some photos of the herb gardens and wildlife we enjoyed during the Intensive. Some pictures and comments from participants may follow to give your their perspective. From my perspective, I have to thank those who invest their time to join in these classes and empower themselves as they learn to take control of their health through the gifts provided freely to us through mother nature.

Some of the herbs – can you name them?

Ear Infection in Infant and Silver Guard

Ears/Hearing, Silver, Success Stories, , , ,

 

One 6 month old baby had a chronic ear infection, 3 different antibiotics and cortisone drops were used to no avail. The grandma purchased Silver Guard and put 4 drops into the ear with an eyedropper 3X/ day. She also gave the baby drops of Silver Guard into the mouth. Within 30 hours the baby totally improved . There was no more green stuff coming out of the ear and no more pain. This program was continued for 4 more days to insure that all the infection was gone.

QUESTION
We have a friend recently diagnosed with Bi-Polar and he wants
to heal it the natural way… I am researching it for him as I’d like
to see him go that way instead of with what the doctor wants him to take.
Any info you could share would be most appreciated, thank you! DL

 

ANSWER
Many respected medical doctors have used proper nutrition to treat emotional and psychological conditions, as well as physical. From Dr. Linus Pauling, nobel prize winner, to Dr. Abram Hoffer (co-authors of the extensive book OrthoMolecular Medicine) are just two of many. OrthoMolecular Medicine  means using vitamins and minerals in therapeutic dosages. Dr. Abram Hoffer was medical advisor of a Mental Institution in Saskatchewan and had far better results treating schizophrenic patients with nutrition than drugs. He also had promising results with cancer patients using a nutritional protocol. Besides being an acclaimed author and running a busy medical, practice Dr. Hoffer lectured internationally for many years, to Medical practitioners and students, so it is surprising to hear some doctors say, “ nutrition is not proven or researched”.

 

Researchers do not definitively understand some conditions, such as Bipolar. Theories range considerably, with no proven hypotheses. A shortage of lithium in the brain is one, just as a shortage of serotonin has been hypothesized to cause depression. More recent research throws considerable doubt on both of these theories.  A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry  from U. Michigan, 2000, reports “in those with bipolar disorder, two major areas of the brain contain 30 percent more cells that send signals to other brain cells.” This report theorizes that “the extra signal-sending cells may lead to a kind of over-stimulation, which makes sense considering the symptoms of bipolar disorder”. Researchers are quite certain that the neurotransmitter system is at least part of the cause of bipolar disorder, but further research is still needed to define its exact role.

 

Most scientists concur that  psychological disorders are usually caused by multiple interacting  factors,  including biological, (heredity or genetic tendency) and psychological.  One of the best researched current explanations is  the “Diathesis-Stress Model.” The word diathesis means, in simplified terms, a bodily condition that make a person more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. Thus the Diathesis-Stress Model says that “each person inherits certain physical predispositions that leave him or her vulnerable to problems that may or may not appear, depending on what kinds of situations that person confronts” (Bernstein et al., 2000). Durand and Barlow define this model as a “hypothesis that both an inherited tendency and specific stressful conditions are required to produce a disorder” (2000).

A manic or depressive incidence is usually triggered by a stressful life event or issues in the person’s environment. This may include the loss of something or someone, a loved one, job, home; to any change such as the birth of a child, a new job or home, a move, or threatening life situations. Remember that what is a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stressor to one person may not be to another.  Once the disorder is triggered and progresses, “it seems to develop a life of its own. Once the cycle begins, a psychological or pathophysiological process takes over and ensures that the disorder will continue” (Durand & Barlow, 2000).

We know that stress can be approached naturally via the Four Pillars of Health as described in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program. To briefly outline,  the four pillars are listed below, with some specifics relating to BiPolar:
  • DIET: superior nutrition through improved diet, much like that recommended in the book. A diet that is beneficial for treatment and prevention of cancer is the same diet that helps improve everyone’s overall health.
  • EMOTIONAL HEALTH: especially stress reduction techniques, including meditation, yoga, relaxation, energy clearing,  counselling
  • EXERCISE:  to stimulate our “feel good” neurotransmitters, chemicals and hormones
  • HERBS and SUPPLEMENTS: some that we have had positive experience with for bipolar are:

 

Daily Maintenance suggestions:
Stress Formula  or  Nervous Support Pak (US) – includes B vitamins, relaxing nervine herbs, or
Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic – to help regulate Chi or energy flow, plus providing trace mineral nutrition
Super Omega 3‘s to support the nervous system – at

 

In times of Manic or Depressive phases, add:
STR-C – (STRess Chinese)  a Chinese constitutional formula that calms an agitated mind – this one specifically to help calm a manic phase
AD-C – (AntiDepressant Chinese) A Chinese constitutional formula that clears stagnant Chi to help relieve depression

 

Therapeutic essential oils of  Ylang ylang, Rose Geranium, and Lemon have also been used as an effective aids.

 

As people with this condition can be helped with natural supplementation,  this is preferable to drug treatment, as all drugs have toxic side effects.  Besides the drug negative effects, many do not address the underlying causes, exacerbate the condition and may cause complications due to their addictive nature. In a crisis, if drugs are required, work at bringing the body back into balance for long term health.

Diet for Cancer….. and Creation of Optimum Health

Cancer, Chlorophyll, Healthy Solutions, , , , , , , ,

Dietary Recommendations for renegade cell growth, aka cancer, and all chronic or degenerative health conditions:

The DO NOTS:

  • Avoid “white” foods: white flour, sugar, processed salt, white fats, processed dairy, except some organic yogurt butter, or raw natural cheeses, quark, kefir, etc.  Goat’s milk products are better digested for humans, clean and raw is best.
  • Do not eat sugar in any form, ESPECIALLY refined sugar products. Learn to recognize different names for sugar. Do NOT substitute with  artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Only acceptable sweeteners are fresh fruit, stevia or xylitol.
  • Do not eat refined high gluten, especially wheat products – most North Americans have developed gluten intolerance, meaning they do not digest it properly, leading to fermentation and intestinal inflammation.
  • Do not drink cold water with your meals.  If you must drink with your meals, have hot or warm herbal teas, or Chlorophyll to stimulate, not shut down digestion.
  • Do not use the microwave.
  • Do not use canned vegetables.
  • Do not use chemical cleaners
  • DO eat as much raw or slightly steamed organic vegetables as possible. See: Super- AntiOxidants Foods, which includes a basic recipe for Super Shakes, or go over these with your Natural Health Consultant (NHC).
  • DO read labels on food.  Know and understand how many toxins are in what is available as “food” today.

So this is what you should NOT eat.

The DO’S:

What about what you SHOULD eats? Please refer to my book,  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer, which has references throughout to help you with a healthy diet. I have many details throughout the success stories, under basic recommendations, under the 4 Pillars of Health, plus in the Recipes chapter. Some simple suggestions to follow are:

  • Eat more vegetables – of every colour, raw, baked, steamed or stir fried
  • drink hot or warm herbal teas, or Chlorophyll to stimulate, not shut down digestion, plus adding minerals, and alkalizing your blood.
  • Choose low glycemic fruits
  • Eat low gluten, alkalizing grains
  • Eat nuts and seeds made more digestible by sprouting, soaking and grinding.
  • Dairy alternatives, such as almond, barley, soy or brown rice milk are acceptable- check for sugar content.
  • Choose organic, especially for any animal foods.
  • DO wash all fruits and vegetables in Nature’s Sunshine Concentrate.  Use it in your bath or shower, as shampoo and as your household cleaning agent.
  • DO read labels on food.  Know and understand how many toxins are in what is available as “food” today.
  • DO eat as much raw or slightly steamed organic vegetables as possible. See: Super- AntiOxidants Foods, which includes a basic recipe for Super Shakes, or go over these with your Natural Health Consultant (NHC).
  • Healthy supplements to take to build your body during your cure are the following:

    For more suggestions, get the book – a great health investment for everyone!

 

For Cancer…..

MOST IMPORTANT:  This is the easy part.  Follow the Paw Paw program as per directions to start and increase as per instructions in the book.  Depending on your cancer, you may be required to take this for 4 months up to a couple of years.  Maintenance and prevention are recommended, as all people develop cancerous cell growth and we need to keep it under control.  For those who have had cancer, this is highly recommended. For more information about Paw Paw, ask your NHC.  Paw Paw can be used along with Allopathic Medical Therapy; in fact it can enhance chemotherapy effectiveness.

  • Insure your body has sufficient minerals.  Chinese Mineral Chi or Essential Liquid Minerals are both excellent natural sources of minerals and suggested for a long time.
  • Take Protease Plus Enzymes to help metabolize protein and help breakdown cancer cells.
  • Super Oil  or Super Omega 3 will help with your “internal electrical wiring”, and rebuilding healthy cell membranes.
  • Support your body with Zambroza, the strongest blend of antioxidants known to date.
  • Support the area of the body where the cancer is.  You may want to add herbs specific to your type of cancer. For example, for cancer of the prostate, support with Saw Palmetto Extract, Liver with a liver formula, as your NHC recommends.

The Paw Paw program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer is an informative book clearly explaining the effective, safe, natural approach to cancer. It is jam packed with tips for achieving optimum health no matter what condition one encounters, with recipes, diet and other lifestyle suggestions to maintain optimum health and prevent disease.

For serious health conditions, it is important to work with a natural health care practitioner or consultant who is comfortable working with your condition, especially cancer. The amount of research can be overwhelming. You would not try to strip down your car engine and rebuild it without assistance or previous knowledge. Consider this, as you need to rebuild your body to eliminate cancer or any other disease. The advice of a qualified NHC can assist you in the optimal selection of a program for you and to monitor your results with you.

Remember, cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, diabetes – all chronic health challenges can be helped when you help your body return to a state of balanced health!  Believe it!  Be proactive in your cure – do not leave it all up to the medical community – work with them to help yourself.  A natural health  professional can work with others with whom you choose to share your healing journey.

This program is designed to enhance the natural healing abilities of your body, rather than ‘fight’ any particular disease. It is one part of a comprehensive program, including corrective diet, emotional clearing, exercise as required, proper elimination and other natural health and life building aspects.

The Paw Paw program and any aids in the book are not counter-indicated with orthodox medical treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It can enhance the effectiveness and decrease the negative side effects of these approaches.

NSP Silver Guard and Gel for eliminating thrush

Candida /Fungus, Silver, Success Stories, , , ,

C”s mouth was full of thrush, we cleaned as best as we could with a swab and water, and gave her NSP Silver Guard Liquid to swallow, then put the NSP Silver Shield Gel in her mouth. Two hours later she was trying to spit something out, so we got another swab and what came out was the whole lining of skin from her mouth. We kept applying twice a day, in 2 days all the thrush was gone. BL from Vancouver, BC

Lorene Benoit’s comments: Both Silver Guard Liquid and Silver Gel are great for all mouth sores, ulcers, gum inflammation, pyrohhea, absecces and tooth decay (both prevention and treatment).  Although Health Canada has insisted we label the Silver Guard as Mouthwash, everyone realizes it is exactly the same product that we also  take internally. It has been proven to  kill over 600 strains of bacteria, virus and fungus.
