Of course, the distinction between nutrition and medicine not always clear—a phenomenon illustrated by the ways animals keep themselves well in the wild. more Doctors have been thought by the medical establishment to rely on "studies" to support claims of therapy or cure. The catch, unkown to the public, is that the so-called clinical studies only apply to patented drugs. Studies take time and millions of dollars and then most of the time the results are fabricated and slanted to promote the sale of drugs. Why? Simple! Because it's the pharmaceuticals who sponsor and pay for the studies they call research. There are many natural products and remedies that work. There are simple, cost effective and they work with no side effects. herbs part 2 Welcome to...

Many people think that their particular disease or illness is unique, the exception to the rule I assure you I have treated people just like you with your same disease. I have treated people with every illness known, and some unknown ones, and everyone got well if they did the work. If you are seriously ill you may think that you are an exception, because of your serious condition. You are NOT. I have seen people sicker than you, people at deaths door, people who all the doctors said would be dead a year before I ever met them. And I have seen these walking dead, recover, and outlive their doctors, but I never healed any of them, they ALL healed themselves. I cannot get anyone well. I am a teacher. I can show you the path to great health, energy and vitality. I can take you on an adventure to a new life free of illness and pain.

They have corrupted elected officials to pass laws to remove any competition. They have crushed Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care. Their goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors and pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked! We have watched them pass more and more laws restricting our rights; they have made many healing herbs, foods and even nutrients illegal. Natural health professionals that flourished a few decades ago are now barred by law to practice, and Natural Doctors, Holistic Healers, Health Food Store Owners and even family members of the sick have been arrested and jailed for using natural remedies. If you disagree with your doctor regarding the medical treatment of your children, they can be taken away from you, put in a foster home, and you can be arrested for endangering the health and welfare of your child.

Shirley's Free Newsletter Newsletter archive E-mail: Dr.Engel provides a good reason why traditional herbology bases functions of herbs upon taste. Animals have been doing the same thing for millions of years and our taste buds have evolved for this purpose! For example, many species show increased tolerance of bitter tastes when they have an active bacterial infection. This makes sense, since herbs with natural antibiotics are usually quite bitter. Many species will actively seek out such bitter herbs when infected. In captivity, gorillas suffer from serious bacterial gut infections such as Shigellosis that can also lead to reactive arthritis, IBS and Chrons disease. In the wild, the lowland gorillas takes 90% of their diet from the fruits of Aframonum, a relative of the ginger plant, that is a potent antimicrobial. Scientists were intrigued as to why such a strong antimicrobial diet did not disrupt gut bacteria as it does in humans taking antibiotics. What they found was that this fruit actively keeps the ‘bad’ bacteria in check without harming the ‘good’ bacteria. In other words, Aframonum keeps Subscribe Unsubscribe Submit Free E-book Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Based on impressive new discoveries involving the body's subtle energies, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has been clinically effective in thousands of cases for Trauma & Abuse, Stress & Anxiety, Fears & Phobias, Depression, Addictive Cravings, Children's Issues and hundreds of physical symptoms No drugs or equipment involved....Easily learned by anyone....Can be self applied.

Cindy Engel is the author of Wild Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We Can Learn From Them. A timely treatise for a health-obsessed culture, this book takes the idea of "natural remedies" quite literally. Engel, a lecturer in environmental sciences at the U.K. Open University, has compiled a wealth of fascinating laboratory studies and field observations on how animals treat and prevent diseases. For millennia, humans have observed animals in the wild eating plants and minerals and applying naturally occurring topical antitoxins from the same sources to combat infectious wounds, parasites and internal disorders. Messages from pharmaceutical-industry-led medicine have misled us for too long. Who realised, before reading Cindy Engel's book, for example, that having a temperature is the body's mechanism for combating harmful infection? Or that secondary compounds in food, some 'toxic', can be deliberately ingested by animals for their protective health effects? Or that, though we know instinctively that lemon and pine are cleansing, we may not be aware that the volatile oils in those plants interfere with bacterial respiration and are commonly detrimental or repellent to arthropods and insects? Cindy Engel concludes that human beings are too much like animals in captivity in the way we have limited our own healthcare strategies. Like Native Americans, she advocates, we should observe animal behaviour as the first step to achieving sustainable healthcare.

The concentrated tincture/extract method is the most effective method of taking and assimilating herbs. Herbal extract enter the blood stream rapidely and are easier to use than herbs in other forms by simply placing a drop or two under the tongue or adding to water or juice. Live-concentrated tincture/extracts have none of the disadvantages of fresh or encapsulated herbs or of herbs taken in teas as heat destroys valuable enzymes.

A Message from Dr. Richard Schulze - A Master Herbalist One of the worst aspects of many herbal formulas today is the poor quality of herbs used. The vast majority of herbal products are made from herbs grown outside the US. There is only one reason for this: they are cheap. Herbs brought in from India, China, Egypt, Mexico or Eastern Europe cost literally pennies a pound. I never used these poor quality herbs in my clinic.

I have visited these countries and found filthy, disgusting growing conditions, toxic pollution and out-of-control use of pesticides and insecticides. One way these herbal manufacturers assure their safety, not your health, is to design formula with very small amounts of the potent herbs, or none at all. Then, to be really safe, they suggest a dosage that is so low it's useless. They don't want to take any risks. To further weaken any potency, many manufacturers have abandoned the tried-and-true methods of old herbalists for quick extraction processes, high tech (high heat) machinery, freeze-dried herbs, ignoring the moons and seasons, mostly to make a quick buck. The result, most herbal products I see today are worthless junk. Many manufacturers are more concerned that their product tastes good or has a great-looking label than with whether you will get well using it. I also see labels loaded with sophisticated laboratory-testing results for potency, trying to convince you that the colorless, tasteless and odorless water inside will actually benefit you. How stupid do they think we are? "When I first started my own healing journey in the 1960's, one of my first great shocks was that most health products didn't work. This included all of the herbal formulas I tried. I was constantly amazed at the weakness of these so-called intense herbal formulas that were supposed to change my life. They didn't. I would take them diligently and nothing would happen. Out of frustration, and my own illness, I remember taking 20 to 100 times the dosages, the whole bottle, and still little or no effect. In order to get myself well from a terminal heart disease, I had to break all the rules and make it up as I went. Because I broke the rules, I got well.

Almost all other graduates from the various institutes I attended worked mainly on young, healthy people who wanted to be a bit healthier, but I was obsessed with emergency treatment and the sick and dying. The same useless herbal formulas that failed me years before were now failing to help any of my patients. They thought they were doing something wrong and this is why they were coming to see me. I was forced to improve upon the crude formulas I had developed to heal myself and also create new formulas that worked. Why were all the herbal formulas useless? Why didn't they work?

He died in his 104th year in a riding accident. His parents and grandparents all reached a patriarchal age. "As a refugee from the German speaking area of Czechoslovakia, I became ill with typhoid fever in a camp in Bavaria, caused by contaminated meat and, through it came jaundice and an obstruction of the intestines. I spent more than 6 months in hospital and when my husband got my mother, my mother-in-law, our child and myself to Austria, I was a young but sick woman.

I was a helpless bundle of misery. These were after pains of the typhoid fever which sometimes can go on for years, as the doctor said. One day a woman brought me a small bottle containing a dark brown, strong smelling liquid. She had heard of my illness and wanted to help. The Swedish Bitters had relieved her of a serious complaint. Accompanying it was a transcript of an "Old Manuscript " in which was explained, in 46 points, how these drops heal every illness." The recipe & directions Sweedish Bitters Ready Made Formula Greens, Phytonutrients & Phytochemicals Wheatgrass juice is the nectar of rejuvenation, the plasma of youth, the blood of all life. Most people who have explored the wondrously wide avenues of self-healing have heard about wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll. Wheatgrass is the green, growing and processing plant that will eventually become a shaft of wheat, produce grain, die, and be harvested. It is a completely different animal when it is still in the grass stage. At only seven days, the wheatgrass is 6 to 9 inches tall and http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/herbs.htm (9 of 31) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:52:01] Herb Data Free Library Healing with Flowers, Herbs and Other Natural Remedies can be cut and juiced. The deep green juice is abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy. It is intensely concentrated and benefits are seen with as little as one ounce a day. Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available. Dr.Birscher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll "concentrated sun power." He says chlorophyll increases function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the uterus, the intestine and the lungs. According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll as a body cleanser, rebuilder and neutralizer of toxins. Wheat grass juice can dissolve scars that are formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effects of carbon monoxide is minimized since chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production. Wheat grass juice helps to reduce high blood pressure as the juice helps to reduce toxins from the body and gives the blood iron which helps circulation. It purifies the blood. To detoxify my blood and to maintain my excellent health and vitality I drink daily 6 to 8 ounces of freshly pressed mixture of wheatgrass, parsley, cilantro, and bitter-melon-vines juice. I mix in one tablespoon of bee pollen. one ounce of fulvic minerals and 1/4 teaspoon of shilajit. I grow my own wheatgrass in flats by my windows and I use a manual juicer. Wheatgrass played a major role in my health recovery o\f severe lifelong illnesses.Shirley More on the healing Natural Immune Booster A growing number of holistic doctors and veterinarians use Transfer Factor as an alternative to, or in conjunction with conventional medicine for their acute and chronic cases, (including cancer cases) with excellent outcome.

Bee pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete food. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance. Pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic in Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a surprising number of applications: for improving endurance and vitality, extending longevity, aiding recovery from chronic illness, adding weight during convalescence, reducing cravings and addictions, regulating the intestines, building new blood, preventing infectious diseases such as the cold and flue (it has antibiotic type properties), and helping overcome retardation and other developmental problems in children. It is thought to protect against radiation and to have anti-cancer qualities.

Bentonite, Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history. Studies show that the use of volcanic ash clay internally goes back to the Indians of the high Andes mountains, tribes in Central Africa and the aborigines of Australia.

Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature. more Herbs for the Heart - Cardiovascular System The best-known herb for the heart in western herbalism is Hawthorn. The extract of hawthorn can increase blood flow to the heart muscle itself, helping to counteract one of the most common modern causes of death in industrial countries--heart attack due to lack of blood flow to the heart. In pharmacological tests on both animals and humans, hawthorn has been shown to improve the contractility of the heart muscle (which can lead to a stronger pumping action of the heart), increase cardiac performance and output, lower the peripheral vascular resistance (reducing the workload of the heart), steady the heartbeat (antiarrhythmic effect), as well as increasing the heart's tolerance to oxygen deficiency, such as might happen during stress or excitement, or in diseases where the arteries are partially blocked."

After only three weeks she noticed some improvement in her breathing. After only 5 weeks she said the new capsules we brought back were #1, indicating with her right thumb up. Now she is able to walk further with much less shortness of breath. In mid-October we took her to Werribbee Zoo and brought the wheel chair along for her to use. After a short journey in the wheel chair she decided to walk by herself. We tried to dissuade her and told her that the walk would be too much for her heart. She insisted, and so we relented and let her push the wheelchair around the zoo. She completed the walk around the zoo with no shortness of breath!

Modern "salt" has little relationship with what was anciently called by that name. Salt is in its own right as necessary to the functions of the human body, as are other essential nutrients. Mankind originally emerged from the sea. So we, so to speak, still carry sea water in our veins; the chemical and mineral composition of our blood and saline fluids have an amazing similarity to sea water. And when we are an embryo in our mother's womb, we are encased in a sack filled with a saline fluid which is in some ways identical to sea water. "Refined Sea Salt, this is where things go wrong, at least in terms of your health. The salt is refined to remove impurities, to make it attractive and uniform in appearance, and to extract most of the mineral elements. When they have finished refining your salt, it looks great, and flows easily out of your salt shaker, but 82 of the 84 mineral elements have been extracted. They have added chemical additives which bleach the salt whiter, prevent water absorption while the salt is in the box, make the salt flow freely in your salt shaker, and add iodine and iodine stabilizers. The chemical additives which prevent the refined salt from absorbing water while it is in the box also prevent the refined salt from being properly absorbed in your body. This is why we are constantly being told that it is harmful to our health to consume too much salt. Natural salt, which has not been refined, can be consumed in any amount. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to consume too much natural unrefined salt! Why? Because the body, with its natural affinity for unrefined salt, will simply pass the excess unrefined salt out of our bodies." Sea water contains 84 mineral elements. These same 84 mineral elements are found in our bodies. Modern science has determined that 24 of these elements are essential for life (i.e., you will die if any are missing), although many believe that a proper balance of all 84 elements in our bodies is necessary for good health. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/herbs.htm (17 of 31) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:52:01] women and children.

Learn more Healing with Flowers, Herbs and Other Natural Remedies Whenever a dietary deficiency of any of these elements occurs, the cells in our bodies lose ions. A loss of ions in our cells causes imbalances, a breakdown of the cell regeneration and growth process, and loss of the cells themselves, which does lead to nervous disorders, brain damage, muscle damage or illness. Therefore, it is vital to your health to have the proper mineral balance in the saline and ion composition of your blood, and these compositions must be maintained within very precise limits. Illnesses and conditions which have been traced to a deficiency of the minerals which are found in sea salt are: cancer, low energy, loss of memory, unnecessary aging, obesity, immune system disease, water retention & edema, ulcers, hyperactivity, fragile teeth & bones, Addison's disease, rheumatism, low sexual vitality, impaired thinking, impaired adrenals, neuralgia, impaired sexual organs, deformed breasts, and liver illness.

He was a renowned physician and bacteriologist. While practicing as an allopathic doctor he realized the meaning of old dictum that "There are no diseases, only sick people". When he was treating the factory laborers prone to various diseases, he observed that the workers were working under some unknown fear - the fear that they would be jobless.

Their goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors and pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked! We have watched them pass more and more laws restricting our rights; they have made many healing herbs, foods and even nutrients illegal. Natural health professionals that flourished a few decades ago are now barred by law to practice, and Natural Doctors, Holistic Healers, Health Food Store Owners and even family members of the sick have been arrested and jailed for using natural remedies.

" amazon reviewer David M. Markowitz, M.D.: "Did you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics in the U.S. last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly resistant to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe and natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child or patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several ear infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives. We now have new HOPE . . . literally, hope in a capsule of Transfer Factor!" David M. Markowitz, M.D. "Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules that are produced by immune cells called T-cells. It allow the immune system to remember conditions for which immunity has already been established. When a person has been infected, for example, with chicken pox in childhood, their body develops a memory of http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/herbs.htm (27 of 31) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:52:01] Healing with Flowers, Herbs and Other Natural Remedies that illness, and prevents the person from becoming re-infected with it later in life. In the future, the specific immune transfer factor molecule for chicken pox will endow the immune system with the exact ‘blueprint’ of what chicken pox looks like, and the body will be able to quickly recognize and respond to any possible re-infection. Many of these transfer factors - or "immune memory molecules," were introduced to us from our mother’s milk or colostrum, which is the richest source of concentrated transfer factors known to scientists. Transfer factors in colostrum have the sole purpose of transferring immunity from the mother to the baby’s immature immune system. All mammals produce transfer factor, but scientists prefer to work with chicken and normal bovine colostrum. A healthy cow already produces millions of different transfer factors, but when the cow comes into contact with a pathogen such as a virus, it produces a new transfer factor for that specific virus or pathogen. For individuals challenged by specific pathogens – such as those suffering with chronic illnesses like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, supplementation with the appropriate transfer factor molecule may provide the ‘missing link,’ thereby allowing the immune system to target and destroy the offending pathogen, and mitigate the symptoms of the disease."

WASHINGTON -- Newly obtained internal documents show that Warner-Lambert Co. executives who promoted the diabetes pill Rezulin masked early indications of the drug's danger to the liver from federal regulators and later delayed sharing information about its lethal toxicity with family doctors. The newly acquired materials show that company management rebuffed employees who questioned liver-injury totals from clinical studies that excluded 38% of the cases. At the time, Warner-Lambert was assuring doctors nationwide that the drug was as safe as a placebo, the harmless pill used as a control in medical testing. The story of the Food and Drug Administration's handling of Rezulin is well known. After the agency gave the drug "fast-track" approval in early 1997, scores of liver-related deaths were linked to the pill. Rezulin was withdrawn from the U.S. market in March 2000. By then, it had generated $2.1 billion in sales for Warner-Lambert.

Please wait... Diabetes is a condition related to the pancreatic release of Insulin into the blood stream. Insulin controls the amount of glucose/sugar in the blood and the rate at which glucose is metabolized. The cells of the body need glucose to produce energy. Individuals with diabetes do not produce the insulin necessary to properly metabolize the sugars that they eat, causing hyperglycemia, abnormally high blood sugar levels. Prolonged Hyperglycemia leads to damaged blood vessels, which may cause eye disease, heart disease, nerve damage/neuropathy in internal organs and extremities, kidney disease/nephropathy, and foot ulcers.

These Omega three’s as well as an important Omega six are the EFA’s LNA and LA. When we lack them in our diet, we suffer degenerative disease Research shows the role certain beneficial fatty acids may play in preventing or improving cardiovascular complications attributed to diabetes. "Perhaps of equal or greater importance is the role certain beneficial fatty acids may play in preventing or improving cardiovascular complications attributed to diabetes. Buried in the annals of medicine are extremely optimistic studies attesting to these facts. This information has not been widely publicized in the past because fatty acids are naturally occurring nutrients and can not be patented by pharmaceutical companies and sold at exorbitant prices. One such fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), is found in nature's most concentrated form as Borage seed oil (24% GLA). The results of GLA supplementation in diabetics are truly astounding, as outlined below. Diabetic neuropathy (a painful nerve disorder resulting from reduced blood flow and subsequent oxygen depravation of the limbs or organs) was reversed in studies conducted by seven medical centers. In a separate, but similar study, 12 patients afflicted with diabetic neuropathy were given 360 mg of GLA daily (the equivalent of two, 1000 mg. Borage oil capsules), while 10 others were given a placebo (inactive substance). After 6 months the GLA group showed statistically significant improvement as compared to the AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM DR.

In addition, GLA supplementation has been reported to normalize the faulty fatty acid metabolism attributed to diabetes by bypassing the enzyme system responsible for this disorderBy doing so the body's response to inflammation, pain and swelling is stabilized. Arterial muscle tone, responsible for blood pressure and optimal circulation, is also regulated by this system. Animal studies conducted with GLA have revealed the normalization of intercellular sorbitol levels. Another study of Type 1 diabetics cited favorable changes in HDL ("good" cholesterol) and blood platelet adhesiveness In summary, diabetics have been found to possess faulty fatty acid metabolism which may contribute to the cardiovascular complications associated with the disease. Scientific research has established the reduction of certain harmful fats, with the addition of beneficial fatty acids, may offer a significant breakthrough in combating diabetic cardiovascular complications with the potential of significantly lowering health care costs." The study concluded that all diabetics should be considered for a dietary protocol of GLA. Other conditions shown to benefit include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, arthritis, allergies, weight loss, improved behavior of hyperactive children and increased strength of hair and nails. Cited in the book, Super Nutrition For Menopause, written by the renowned nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, is one of the most popular applications of GLA supplementation in the relief of menstrual pain. Sufferers use a maintenance dose up to the seventh day prior to menstruation, then double that dose for the duration of their menstruation. Dietary restrictions of meat, dairy and eggs during this time has also shown to compliment this regiment.

" "The degenerative disease epidemic that wracks the nation came coincidentally with the introduction of engineered fats and oils. It is the type of fats and oils that we consume that is directly correlated to the rise of epidemic degenerative disease; it is not the amount of fats and oils that we eat that causes the problem. It is by chronically consuming the fats and oils that cause degenerative disease that we impair our ability to consume healthy fats and oils. We also impair our ability to consume carbohydrates and thus become Diabetic and Obese" Thomas Smith, author of Insulin: Our Silent Killer An item reported in the British Journal of Nutrition during a four-week study indicated that flax oil was beneficial in helping to regulate blood glucose levels in diabetics. Because most Americans consume highly processed refined oils, many are deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids that may provide numerous health benefits to people with high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, angina, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis and eczema, and cancer. Flaxseeds, an unrefined food, provide the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Today, with our increased knowledge of metabolic processes, it would appear quite appropriate to define Type 2 Diabetes more fundamentally as a failure of the body to properly metabolize fats and oils. This failure results in a loss of effectiveness of insulin and in the consequent failure to metabolize carbohydrates. Unfortunately, much medical insight into this matter, except at the research level, remains hampered by its 19th century legacy. Thus Type II Diabetes and its early hyperinsulinemic symptoms are whole body symptoms of this basic cellular failure to properly metabolize glucose. Each cell of our body, for reasons which are becoming clearer, find themselves unable to transport glucose from the blood stream to their interior. The glucose then either remains in the blood stream, is stored as body fat or as glycogen, or is otherwise disposed of in urine. The goal of any effective alternative program is to repair and restore the body’s own blood sugar control mechanism. It is the malfunctioning of this mechanism that, over time, directly causes all of the many debilitating symptoms that make orthodox treatment so financially rewarding for the diabetes industry. For Type II Diabetes, the steps in the program are: repair the faulty blood sugar control system. This is done simply by substituting clean healthy beneficial fats and oils in the diet for the pristine looking but toxic trans-isomer mix found in attractive plastic containers on room temperature supermarket shelves.

However, up to now many physicians have hesitated to give fish oil to these patients for the reason that ordinary fish oil is known to increase blood sugar (Fig 1). This may be due to the formation of free radicals in the pancreas, with decreased production of insulin. With stable fish oil this adverse effect is not observed (Fig 1), and stable fish oil can thus be given to diabetic patients, which is a major advantage. Unfortunately ordinary (unstable) fish oil can also induce an increase in blood sugar in persons without diabetes."

American scientists have claimed that a teaspoon of cinnamon a day may help prevent the onset of diabetes. The common spice could help millions of sufferers of Type II, non-insulin dependent, diabetes. This condition usually develops in middle-age and prematurely kills 100 million people around the world every year. Type II diabetes causes cells to lose their ability to respond to insulin, a hormone that tells the body to remove excess glucose in the bloodstream. If glucose builds up in the blood, tiredness, weight-loss and blurred Rudraksha Beads For thousands of years in India, yogis have worn Rudraksha Beads to experience the deep tranquility and concentration which are vital for meditation and control of mind and body.

In extreme cases this can lead to blindness, heart disease and premature death. Data from the Agricultural Research Unit in Maryland was first published in the New Scientist in August 2000. The researchers found that cinnamon rekindled the ability of fat cells in diabetics to respond to insulin and greatly increased glucose removal.

Some of these symptoms are: Atherosclerosis, Vascular disease, Diabetes type 2, Impotence, Kidney Failure, Heart Failure, Liver Damage, Stroke, Obesity, Neuropathy, Retinopathy and Gangrene to name but a few. Hyperinsulinemia is also thought to be implicated in several forms of Cancer and in the epidemic of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) raging through our schools today; although with these latter two diseases, the evidence while quite compelling is not yet completely conclusive. As we develop the evidence for these connections, we will post them on this site. The good news is that although this disease accounts for almost half of the annual death toll from all causes, it is, in most cases, curable- permanently, quickly, economically, completely and often easily and by natural means. That means little or no reliance upon synthetic designer drugs and no ineffective medical treatments for symptoms while causal agents remain untreated. It is now possible to look forward to something other than a rapid decline to invalid status and an early painful death. To cure Hyperinsulinemia, Type II Diabetes, Syndrome X and many other consequential diseases that stem from poisonous fats and oils, it is important to realize that the chronic ingestion of Refined and Hydrogenated fats and oils is implicated as a causal agent in these diseases. Margarine, artificial shortenings, refined oils and all Hydrogenated edible products are long term toxic to the human metabolism. An important consideration about these edible oils is a widespread fraudulent advertising technique that enables the oils manufacturer to sell known toxic oils to the unsuspecting public without breaking the law. Many refined vegetable oils are advertised as Profound Life-Giving Properties of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt For centuries, the energy/information content, in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral rich salt, were utilized by doctors for treating most every disorder known to humans, and with unfailing success.

While the benefits of oral magnesium supplementation on glycemic control have yet to be demonstrated in patients, magnesium supplementation has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity.

Scientists found that fulvic acids show significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancratic islet B cells, which is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus.

Their clinical studies show that fulvic acids diminish the development and progression of diabetes, and assisted in the treatment. With fulvic acid, diabetes patients became more energetic and the tingling, painful feeling and numbness experienced in the nerve endings disappeared or were reduced. For centuries people living in isolated villages in the Himalayas and adjoining regions have used preparations made from a rare fulvic acid containing humic substance known as Shilajit, to prevent and combat problems with diabetes.

Type 1 (juvenile diabetes) Soy and Type 1 Diabetes in Children Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility, increased cancer and infantile leukemia, Type1 diabetes, and precocious puberty in children have been fed soy formula. more A combined research team of Cornell University Medical College and Long Island Community Hospital medical experts have found that children who develop Type1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those fed all other foods http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (25 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods This confirms concerns based on animal studies raised in the 1980's and 1990s by Health Canada researcher Dr Fraser Scott and led to the American Academy of Pediatrics issuing their warning to pediatricians against any use of soy based formulas. Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. Researchers at Cornell University Medical College said that children who got soy formula were more likely to develop thyroid disease and that twice as many diabetic children had received soy formula in infancy as compared to non-diabetic children. In fact, in other countries such as Switzerland, England, Australia and New Zealand, public health officials recommend highly restricted medically monitored use of soy for babies and for pregnant women. Soy formula is a lifesaver for the 3 to 4 percent of babies allergic to cows milk, but it is so widely advertised that it is sold to 25% of the entire formula market. Soy and Type 1 Diabetes in Children Vaccines Proven To Be Largest Cause of Insulin Dependent Diabetes in Children Diabetics Advised to Seek Legal Counsel Now, Before Their Right to Compensation Expires. Dr. Classen presented data supporting a causal relationship between many different vaccines and the development of insulin diabetes. His data included the pertussis, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hemophilus influenza and others. The data indicated people with vaccine induced diabetes may not develop the disease until 4 or more years after receiving a vaccine. Lawyers attending the conference and who http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (26 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods reviewed the data, advise diabetics to seek legal counsel at once. The government provides compensation for vaccine induced injuries however there is a statute of limitations. Insulin dependent diabetes cost the patient about $1 million over their life time. JUVENILE DIABETES AND VACCINATION: NEW EVIDENCE FOR A CONNECTION In the May 24, 1996 New Zealand Medical Journal, Dr. Classen reported that there was a 60 percent increase in Type I diabetes (juvenile diabetes) following a massive campaign in New Zealand from 1988 to 1991 to vaccinate babies six weeks of age or older with hepatitis B vaccine. His analysis of a group of 100,000 New Zealand children prospectively followed since 1982 showed that the incidence of diabetes before the hepatitis B vaccination program began in 1988 was 11.2 cases per 100,000 children per year while the incidence of diabetes following the hepatitis B vaccination campaign was 18.2 cases per 100,000 children per year. More Vaccines Equal More Diabetes - In the October 22, 1997 Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, Classen presented more data further substantiating his findings of a vaccine-diabetes connection. He reported that the incidence of diabetes in Finland was stable in children under 4 years of age until the government made several changes in its childhood vaccination schedule. In 1974, 130,000 children aged 3 months to 4 years were enrolled in a vaccine experimental trial and injected with Hib vaccine or meningococcal vaccine. Then, in 1976, the pertussis vaccine used in Finland was made stronger by adding a second strain of bacteria. During the years 1977 to 1979, there was a 64 percent increase in the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in Finland compared to the years 1970 to 1976. http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (27 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods Doctors started making reports in the medical literature as early as 1949 that some children injected with pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine (now part of the DPT or DTaP shot) were having trouble maintaining normal glucose levels in their blood. Lab research has confirmed that pertussis vaccine can cause diabetes in mice. As diabetes research progressed in the 1960's, 70's and 80's, there were observations that viral infections may be a co-factor in causing diabetes. The introduction of live virus vaccines, such as live MMR vaccine which is made from weakened forms of the live measles, mumps and rubella viruses, has raised questions about whether live vaccine virus could by a co-factor in causing chronic diseases such as diabetes. In 1982, another vaccine was added to the childhood vaccination schedule in Finland. Children aged 14 months to six years were given the live MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. This was followed by the injection of 114,000 Finnish children aged 3 months and older with another experimental Hib vaccine. In 1988, Finland recommended that all babies be injected with the Hib vaccine. The introduction of these new vaccines in Finland were followed by a 62 percent rise in the incidence of diabetes in the 0 to 4 year old age group and a 19 percent rise of diabetes in the 5 to 9 year old age group between the years 1980 and 1982 and 1987 and 1989. Classen concluded: "The net effect was the addition of three new vaccines to the 0-4 year old age group and a 147 percent increase in the incidence of IDDM [insulin dependent diabetes mellitus] , the addition of one new vaccine to the 5-9 year olds and a rise in the incidence of diabetes of 40 percent, and no new vaccines http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (28 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods added to the 10 to 14 year olds and a rise in the incidence of IDDM by only 8 percent between the intervals 1970-1976 and 1990-1992. The rise in IDDM in the different age groups correlated with the number of vaccines given." read the rest of the article The Center for Disease Control, CDC, published data which supports a link between timing of immunization and the development of diabetes (Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety Vol 6 Suppl. 2, S60; 1998). The data from the CDC's preliminary study supports published data that immunization starting after 2 months is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The US government study showed Hep B immunization starting after 2 months was associated with an almost doubling of the risk of IDDM, odds ratio of 1.9. The results were also consistent with data that immunization starting at birth is associated with a decreased risk of diabetes compared to immunization starting after 2 months of life (odds ratio of 1.3 vs 1.9). The children immunization at birth in the CDC study were followed on average less than 2 years. By contrast the BCG data from Sweden showed the ability of immunization at birth to prevent diabetes is only seen clearly after about age seven.read the rest of the article Hemophilus Meningitis Vaccine Proven to Cause Diabetes in Clinical Trial of Over 100,000 Children; Many Diabetics Eligible for Compensation More on vaccines CASE REPORTS OF DIABETES FOLLOWING MMR SHOTS Every day since 1982, the National Vaccine Information Center has been contacted by countless numbers of mothers and fathers http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (29 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods reporting deaths, brain injuries and chronic health problems following routine childhood vaccinations.

These lawmaker health issue “hearings” typically end up pimping to the interests of high-flyer doctors and scientists and the pharmaceutical industry that adores and nurses them. I’m sure the goal — exploring the vaccine safety issue — was well-intentioned. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., the chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, became concerned after two of his grandchildren developed side effects and a child known to his family died following vaccination. Skeptical that the three events could simply be coincidence, Burton wondered how often this actually occurs. “It’s not that we don’t want children vaccinated,” he said at the hearing this week, “but we want to have an informed public.”" read more Compensation for Vaccine-induced Victims Classen is now saying people with diabetes can seek legal compensation for their vaccine-induced injuries. Lawyers attending the September International Public Conference on Vaccination who reviewed Classen's data are advising people with diabetes possibly injured by vaccines to seek legal counsel at once. The United States and other governments provide compensation for vaccine-induced injuries. Cliff Shoemaker of Shoemaker and Horn in Vienna, Virginia, is one attorney who is filing such claims on behalf of people with diabetes. Shoemaker specializes in vaccine-injury compensation and says the statute of limitations for people with diabetes seeking legal compensation is three years from the onset of symptoms for claims under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP is administered by the Department of Health and Human http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (31 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods Services (DHHS), under which compensation may be paid for a vaccine-related injury or death. Michael R. Hugo, Esq., an attorney who also handles vaccine-injury cases for Hugo and Pollack, LLP of Boston, says the statute of limitations for people with diabetes seeking financial compensation for their injuries is completely a matter of state law. "In most states, it is three years from the date of discovery that someone was harmed by a vaccine," says Hugo. "Also, in most states, there is a period of time where the statute of limitations does not even begin to run until the child reaches the age of majority for that state." Shoemaker agrees with Hugo that statutes of limitation for states are quite variable. He adds there are many injuries a person with diabetes can suffer, "and suffering any of it qualifies one for compensation." In order for a type 1 to seek compensation for a vaccine-related injury, according to Hugo, a doctor would have to tell a person with diabetes that their injuries are possibly vaccine-induced. Hugo says this would be difficult to prove, "as there is no credible science yet that would make that a likely diagnosis." Vaccine Lawyers This section lists lawyers, law firms, and other organizations dedicated to supporting individuals who a) were damaged by vaccines and are seeking compensation through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, b) are being harassed by vaccine authorities, or c) are seeking assistance regarding their religious right to avoid immunizations. FDA Told Pneumococcal Vaccine http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm (32 of 46) [2005/04/10/Sunday 19:56:52] Diabetes: natural healing with herbs, diet, borage oil, and other natural methods Likely to Cause Epidemic of Diabetes BALTIMORE, Nov. 8, 1999/PRNewswire/ -- At last Friday's meeting of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting the committee heard testimony that the conjugated 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine was likely to cause a large epidemic of diabetes. Committee members were told that based on the rates of diabetes seen in Finland following the hemophilus vaccine that the pneumococcal vaccine could cause a major epidemic of diabetes. Taking into account both the rate of rise of diabetes in Finland and the larger population in the US, the early hemophilus vaccine would be expected to cause 2,300 cases of diabetes a year in the US. However, the newer more potent hemophilus vaccines are expected to cause up to 4,000 cases of diabetes in the US. Since the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine contains 7 separate vaccines each similar to the hemophilus vaccine the pneumococcal vaccine may cause 28,000 cases of insulin dependent diabetes in the US each year. As with the hemophilus vaccine the risks with the conjugated pneumococcal vaccine are expected to exceed the benefit. read more What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated!

Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot. Vaccines contain THIMERSOL (mercury), MSG, aluminum, formaldehyde, sucrose and phenoxyethanol, which is antifreeze, among many other things. Thimerosal, a vaccine ingredient, is nearly 50% mercury. Mercury is a NEUROTOXIN. EPA 'safe' levels are: .1 microgram per 1.0 kilogram of body weight per day. Vaccines contain 12.5 to 25.0 micrograms of mercury, and a 'well baby' visit can see your child have between 50 and 62.5 mcgs of MERCURY injected into their bloodstream.

In Myanmar (Burma), China and India, it is highly prized for its anti-diabetic activity. Myanmar traditional physicians prescribe bitter melon to diabetic patients. Doctors in India are so confident of bitter melon's positive effect on diabetes, they dispense bitter melon in some of the most modern hospitals. According to James Duke of U.S Department of Agriculture, bitter melon has attained favor in China as a monoherbal medicine for diabetes mellitus. Bitter melon has twice the potassium of bananas, and it has been shown to increase the number of beta cells, those which produce insulin, in the pancreas.

Also: Balsam Pear, Boston Apple, Bitter Gourd, Bitter Cucumber, Concombre Amer. PREPARATION Bitter melon is available through most Filipino and/or Asian grocery stores, and some farmers markets. Because the plant is seasonal and is difficult to grow in the winter, it is sometimes sold frozen. The appropriate method of administering bitter melon is to make the extract from the fruit, vines, and leaves of the plant and either drink it as a juice, tea or administer it as a retention enema. Some say that drinking the juice or tea will result in the breakdown of the active components by stomach acids, therefore a retention enema would be a more efficient route. more Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) available in tincture or capsule form Momordica charantia (Bitter melon): Therapeutic Actions, Clinical Indications, and more Diabetic and Other Metabolic Neuropathies Abstracts THE INFLUENCE OF MOMORDICA CHARANTIA FRUIT JUICE ON PERIPHERAL NERVE STRUCTURE IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES Momordica charantia fruit is traditionally used as a vegetable and is known to have hypoglycemic effect in human and experimental diabetes.

Caution: be careful in a case of active diabetes, as serasee (bitter melon) masks the sugar output in the urine. Watch the diabetic's condition some other way. Serasee is primarily a preventive herb. If you have active diabetes or liver trouble, do not use serasee except under close medical supervision. Serasee is believed to work in a holistic manner. It is believed to work best if your food and water are clean and natural, and your heart and mind are pure. If you eat foods with a lot of chemicals it won't work so well. If you are full of toxins, use sparingly at first, as purification reactions may be strong. Mormodica works from the subtlest levels to adjust you toward health, and works best with your total cooperation in the way of diet, attitude, etc. This is why no chemical extracts or synthetics should be made from momordica. A pregnant woman should not use momordica, as it has been used as an ingredient in some abortifacent mixtures. more Raw Fruits One of the myths that people have is that fruit juices are not good for diabetis.Specialists at Banglore have clarified and said that no natural sugar is dangerous for diabetis. It is only the additional synthetic sugar we add to the juices that can create trouble. Similarly the acids in the fruits are harmless. Same with the salts in the juices. They will not increase blood pressure. Hence people with similar ailments should avoid adding extra synthetic salts, sugars, and acids. When we conduct AMC, I find that with juices as a diet, people's health problems disappear. Patients of diabetes find that they can completely stop taking insulin within two days.

This condition generally starts in childhood. Type II Diabetes (Adult-Onset Diabetes) develop over many years, and is caused by the body either not producing enough insulin or not being able to utilize the insulin produced effectively. Possible Treatment Once retinopathy is established, it is little affected by the day-to-day control of diabetes. In juvenile diabetes, severe retinopathy develops within 20 years in 60%-70% of the cases, even when the diabetes is well controlled. Control of the diabetes is essential.

New Year! What a year 2003 has been! It is so good to have the opportunity to get back to you with so many good things to share. You’ll also have the opportunity to take holistic electives such as ear coning, kinesiology and iridology a la carte or as part of your electives toward your reflexology certification. HEALING FEATS™ GETS THE MARK! You may notice right off the bat that Healing Feats™ now has the new Trademark symbol on it! Because of the significant expansion into new “realms” of teaching and writing, Healing Feats™ will now have a little protection from copycats! BECOME A REFLEXOLOGIST! The biggest news to start off 2004 is the opening of the Healing Feats™ Reflexology Certification program! The program will involve 320 hours of training and practice (more than many massage therapy programs!) With the partnership of The European Academy of Advanced Esthetics in Boise, you will now be able to learn how to be a professional reflexologist with hands-on The classes (taught by yours truly) are geared for preparing you for to become a Nationally Certified Reflexologist! Accredited Program! The Healing Feats™ program is also being evaluated for accreditation by the American Certification and Accreditation for Reflexology Education and Training board, and will be the only full, well-rounded professional training program in reflexology in Boise! We are definitely seeking to be the first accredited program in Idaho! Cerebral Palsy Study Involves Healing Feats™ Students Even MORE exciting than just getting certified is that our first students will have the opportunity to be involved in a scientific study funded by St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center on reflexology’s effect on cerebral palsy patients! Please join me!! Class size is purposely limited! First class Module is a 5-day intensive and begins January 26th, 2004. For Q&A on the program visit: http://www.healingfeats.com/hfrpq&a.htm. HEALING FEATS™ NEWEST ASSISTANT It’s time to welcome another wonderful woman to Healing Feats™, Jamie Hilton, who runs her own practice in Boise called Eyedentify. She is an Iridologist and Nature’s Sunshine Herbalist and Manager. Jamie is a knowledgeable student and practitioner of natural health. 2 Healing Feats News I also now have the pleasure of welcoming her as my newest Assistant! Brenda Fulfer, my Godsend Assistant for over a year, got too busy with other commitments to assist with the ever-expanding duties at Healing Feats™. She’ll be taking a back seat to Jamie now but will still be around occasionally to help us out! Thank you so much Brenda for making it a less stressful, and more fun 2003! How blessed am I to have such super ladies helping me out! FRANKIE’S 2003 MEDIA EXPOSURE! This year I seemed to be popular with magazine journalists and TV reporters to share my knowledge about reflexology and iridology. Here are a few magazines where you may have seen me quoted or read my published articles! Reflexology. If anyone has a copy of either article, please let me know—I’d love to see how it Better Nutrition Magazine turned out! Channel 2 News Celebrity reporter, Tonya Papanikolas, from the Early Show came to the Healing Feats™ spa to meet with Frankie and report on Reflexology. The segment aired on the evening news in March. The segment was beautifully put together and starred Frankie, and some favorite Healing Feats™ friends and clients who were featured speaking about their positive results using reflexology! Les Nouvelles Esthetiques Magazine This beautiful mag published two of my First For Women Magazine I was extensively interviewed for two separate articles on reflexology, one on Hand Reflexology for Weight Loss and the other on Foot received an enormous amount of positive feedback! The second article is on Reflexology for Beauty Enhancement and will actually be published in the February, 2004 issue. Their site: www.lneonline.com. articles—the first in August 2003 was on iridology, which In October my publishers, Penguin, featured a half page, full color ad of me and my book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Herbal Remedies!

This free popular magazine is found in many health food stores across the country—go to their site to find a place near you at: http://www.betternutrition.com. CALL ME MASTER! One of my biggest accomplishments of the year was completing my second Master’s Degree! This one was in Herbology and was a whole lot of work but of course, well worth it. I Ms. Frankie Avalon Wolfe, MH, PhD #7 Whitehawk Circle Boise, ID 83716 (208) 343-3482 [email protected] www.healingfeats.com 3 Healing Feats News received my diploma from Dr. Christopher’s The School of Natural Healing. The final seminar was in Springville, Utah this summer, where all this year’s students took the stringent series of exams. We had to not only be able to physically identify 100 herbs, but also needed to know their Latin names, uses, and part used— and that was just ONE part of the exam!! So, now if NSP ever leaves us, I’ll be able to teach you how to grow, harvest and prepare your own! (Although now that I know what it takes to be your own herbalist, I’m incredibly grateful that NSP does it for me!). CONGRATULATIONS TO MY NSP MANAGERS IN 2003! Jamie Hilton --Boise, Idaho Pepper Dobson, CMT --Boise, Idaho Karen MaGill, ND Star Manager! --New Buffalo, MI MORE IDAHO CONGRATULATIONS! My colleague Dr. Dennis Davis, ND and his herbalist wife, opened up a store front and consulting center called The Herb Pantry located at 5906 Overland Road, Boise ID. Phone 208-867-8990. Dennis recommends NSP products in his consultations and is planning on stocking the full line of products!! So please visit them to pick up any extra NSP items that you need and don’t want to wait for! COLONIC DREAMS—DOWN THE TUBES ? Most of you know that I am a certified colonic therapist, HOWEVER although I have a nice, private little colonic room in the spa--ready to “go”—I never added the therapy to my list of services that I personally offer. Instead, I decided to keep my focus on the nutritional/herbal consultation aspect of my practice and let another colonic therapist and have a specialist join Healing Feats™ for colonics! Well, it seems that “dream” has not flushed out the way I expected. (Can’t help myself with the puns). The therapists I’ve arranged with have either moved out of state or are just too busy in town to make it feasible for them to visit us up here on the Ranch. So—the “bottom” line is—If any of you would like a detoxifying, cleansing and refreshing colonic treatment at Healing Feats™, please let me know and I’ll see if I can make special arrangements for a therapist to come up to work with you…otherwise, I’m happy to give you the name(s) of a therapist or two in town when you call. WEB SITE ADDITIONS/CHANGES Wake Up! The menu bar on my site (www.healingfeats.com) has a user-friendlier look. My purpose was to help you find what you are looking for quickly. In addition, I added a new page called: WAKE UP! Wake up! features several credible (scientifically backed) sites Ms. Frankie Avalon Wolfe, MH, PhD #7 Whitehawk Circle Boise, ID 83716 (208) 343-3482 [email protected] www.healingfeats.com 4 Healing Feats News that contain information you won’t find in mainstream media. Topics include information on dental amalgams, vaccinations and anti-depressant medications. Now you can research yourself about what I’ve been telling you about in consultations and in my books for years!! IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON… December 8th, 2003 view from the Healing Feats™ spa in Wilderness Ranch Please doesn’t panic—BUT-I need to disclose to you that my home, and therefore the Healing Feats™ Holistic Health Center is for sale! As those of you in Idaho might have noticed, the last few years have kept me working remotely more than working in the spa! I’ve been quite mobile in order to keep up with out-ofstate clients, teach classes, give lectures, continue my education, have book signings, and so forth! In addition, since my husband travels for work, I take my writing projects and my lap top (to do online consultations and keep up with e-mail, etc.) with me to be with him in whatever state or country he happens to be working in! It was finally time to choose being with my husband more or expanding and marketing the local spa services. I have to say that although natural healing is my love—my husband will always be my FIRST love. Not to mention that having a beautiful spa and lovely home that is used infrequently doesn’t make much sense. So, we’ve decided to go mobile. Better, I guess, than going postal! But in any case—here’s what it means to YOU once we do sell (which, by the way, could be a long, long time)! Idaho And Northwest Area Clients—I Like It When You’re Demanding probably won’t notice much difference when it comes to scheduling an appointment, as many of you have already been seeing me at various Boise locations (other than the spa) for your follow-ups and reflexology sessions. Sooo for most of you, your in-town visits will continue as usual. Simply call to request an appointment (the earlier in the month you call, the better) and every few weeks we will choose a location for your appointment and arrange the dates for me to be in town. Then we’ll contact you to finalize and schedule you in! If we don’t have enough clients in a given month to make it feasible for me to travel, we also may contact you to see if you’d like an appointment for that month. So please keep us updated on your e-mail addresses, phone and mailing address! In addition, Jamie will be happy to see you if you don’t want to wait for my working trips back to Boise. For my clients in Idaho and those of you who drive in from Utah, Oregon and Washington to see me—you For those of you regulars who enjoy the “Healing Feats™ spa experience” such as your consultation followup, a reflexology and/or ear Ms. Frankie Avalon Wolfe, MH, PhD #7 Whitehawk Circle Boise, ID 83716 (208) 343-3482 [email protected] www.healingfeats.com 5 Healing Feats News coning and a tan followed by a detoxifying, aromatic steam and a cup of warm herb tea— then come on up and enjoy it while you can!!! Jamie is standing by ready to take your appointments! Clients Outside Idaho For most of you—my clients in Colorado, Georgia, Florida, New York, etc. this future move will not affect you in the slightest, as I will continue to keep in touch with you as I have; via trips to your state, e-mail consults, phone conversations, and of course these newsletters! Idaho Students/Colleagues My commitment(s) to you remains the same. The Reflexology program in Boise will continue uninterrupted. Teaching and hosting other classes in Boise will also continue to be held upon demand as usual. The only thing that may be less frequent will be our monthly iridology meetings, although we can hold them each month that I’m in town to see clients. Also, Jamie will adopt the responsibility to facilitate these meetings as I have over the past several years. DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW! Please note that for Healing Feats™ appointments at Wilderness Ranch during snow time We are HAPPY to arrange to pick you up at the bottom of the hill (i.e. just off Highway 21 near the Wilderness Ranch Mail Center Structure). Otherwise, please take the following precautions to be able to stay safe and enjoy your visit with us: 1. Drive an appropriate vehicle for snowy and possibly icy conditions—4wheel or at least front wheel drive, snow tires (studded are best) and chains in the vehicle if you have them. 2. Wear appropriate shoes. Sometimes it snows so much that we don’t have time to shovel the walkway to the spa between clients. Therefore, PLAN on walking through the snow from your car. (Hint: pull ALL THE WAY IN to the lower driveway to get as close as you can to the spa door/deck. 3. Remember driving up the snowy roads in Wilderness Ranch that the UPHILL driver always has the right of way. Pull off and stop or slow and let the person coming up get by. 4. Arrange a pick up. If you think you don’t want to drive in the snow, please arrange that we meet you at the bottom of the hill before hand. OR—if you didn’t arrange it with us beforehand and change your mind, CALL us from the WR Mail Center phone and let us know that you want to be picked up. 5. Give yourself extra time to get here and get home. Bring your directions with you. Directions can be printed from the web at the following page: http://www.healingfeats.com/map.htm Take the time and enjoy the beauty of our short winter! Now—Finally--Our Topic For The Day: Ms. Frankie Avalon Wolfe, MH, PhD #7 Whitehawk Circle Boise, ID 83716 (208) 343-3482 [email protected] www.healingfeats.com 6 Healing Feats News FLU & COLD PREVENTION This newsletter might be a little late, as just about everyone I’ve talked to (including myself!!) has already been or now is sick this season! But, we have When you pick up a bad bacteria (one that causes infection—lets say something that gets into your air passageways and causes bronchitis) the lymphocytes naturally move toward the bacteria and engulf it. When this happens, the lymphocyte excretes hydrogen peroxide. This hydrogen peroxide mixes with the surrounding vitamin C and creates a substance that is completely lethal to ALL known bad bacteria! time to become re-infected if we let our guard down. And we should always be working on keeping our immune system tuned anyway—year round. Also, if you don’t know whether you have a bacteria or virus, don’t worry— vitamin C interferes with the nucleic acids used by a virus to reproduce itself. First off, let’s get right to the proven, good old remedy that is known to kill bad bacteria and stop viruses from growing—Vitamin C. Now—the biggest thing about using vitamin C to heal and cure yourself is this: YOU MUST TAKE ENOUGH! How it Works In a nutshell, when you take enough (and we’ll discuss dosage next) vitamin C, it surrounds your lymphocytes (immune cells) with ammunition— similar to the video games where you have to aim your gun and click at the bullet icon to “re-load”. Studies have shown that dosages for a common cold can be effective anywhere from 10,000-15,000 mg (1015 grams) and continue to rise with the severity of the illness. The good news is that vitamin C is water soluble, meaning that whatever your body doesn’t need, it will eliminate without harm to the body. You literally can’t overdose on vitamin C. Here’s how to get the right dosage to be effective—it’s simple, really: 1--Take enough vitamin C to cause diarrhea. (10 grams is a good starting point). 2--Then cut it back a gram a day until you stop getting diarrhea. 3--Take that dose for as long as you need to get well. (NOTE: As you get over your illness, the body will require less and less vitamin C. Therefore, you may get diarrhea on that same dosage as you get closer to being better. At that point, you can reduce your dosage again by a gram or so and continue.) Next--Don’t STOP! Another very important point about using vitamin C properly is to never stop taking it suddenly! Dr. Linus Pauling taught us the most about vitamin C and he says that when stopped suddenly, we get a “rebound” effect and the immune system is temporarily lowered. Meaning that if you stop suddenly, you could get sick again real soon. So for best results, take your vitamin C at bowel tolerance levels until you are well, then reduce Ms. Frankie Avalon Wolfe, MH, PhD #7 Whitehawk Circle Boise, ID 83716 (208) 343-3482 [email protected] www.healingfeats.com 7 Healing Feats News your dosage slowly—over a week or so to a maintenance dosage. Vitamin C is so good for so many things, that I recommend that most people can take 1,000mg (1 gram) to 5,000mg (5 grams) daily for life. Now, the best vitamin C I have found—and the easiest to take in high dosages, is Nature’s Sunshine’s Vitamin C Ascorbates! It comes in a powdered form, and each heaping teaspoon is about 5,000mg (5 grams) of C!! You also get calcium, potassium and beta carotene. They made this formula so that it is non-acidic and it is perfectly okay on an empty stomach. Mix a couple of heaping teaspoons into a glass of pure water and drink it down! The Rest Of The Story… Don’t forget the rest of the picture— (how can you with Frankie harping on this over and over)!? We need all the nutrients to be and stay well. So try to take either a multi- vitamin like Super Supplemental or MultiVitamins and Minerals or Bee Pollen (contains all the nutrients known to man) to round out your nutrition during illness and wellness! Other products to consider: Especially for Virus: Olive Leaf Extract VS-C (liquid or caps) Elderberry Defense (also chewable for kids) Respiratory support: Breath E-Z* LH* Marshmallow & Fenugreek (marshmallow is soothing to tissues irritated by coughing) Fenugreek & Thyme (Fenugreek cuts mucus, thyme boosts immune) *Stock up—this product will soon be illegal in the U.S. General Immune Support Immune Stimulator Noni Juice Guardian essential oil Zinc Lozenges (contain slippery elm to soothe irritated tissues, and zinc which helps the immune) Proactazyme Plus and/or Protease Plus on an empty stomach (enzymes activate immunity and speed healing) And don’t forget NSP’s homeopathic cough syrups! The LP stands for loose phlegm and the DH stands for dry cough (hack) and the NT stands for the Night Time formula. These are safe and non-toxic, unlike many of the cold and flu cough medicines found over the counter. Keep the bowels moving with colonics, enemas, lots of water and fiber and/or herbal supplements like LBSII. Use self-reflexology for pain, headaches and to unlock “stuck” energy in the lungs and sinuses. And of course, REST, REST, REST! Basically ALL your herbs are going to help get and keep you healthy, so use what you have on hand, but consider building your herbal medicine cabinet with some of the mentioned items so you are well stocked for any future illnesses! UNTIL NEXT TIME… I hope you all will make it an EXCELLENT 2004—and know that you’ll be hearing from me again as soon as things change at all…And don’t forget to please come and see me soon!

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the key causes of the global obesity epidemic are increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars, and reduced physical activity due to rapid urbanization. Currently over 1 billion adults are overweight and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Excess weight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic impact on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Some of these negative effects in turn redouble the propensity for weight gain. Due to increased work-related stress and time constraints coupled with easy access to tasty junk food, advice on incorporating a low-fat, high-fiber diet in conjunction with an exercise program has been difficult to heed. And even when dietary and physical regimen changes are made, the struggle to reverse the physical and psychological inclination to gain weight remains difficult. Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and liposuction surgery to deal with many problems related to obesity. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and dangerous side effects. Non-medical methods for weight loss such as diet programs and fat targeting exercise routines have failed to break the cycle of weight gain. And natural pills have provided only fleeting, inconsistent results. Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature. It prescribes the therapeutic use of various herbal preparations for enhancing vigor and overall well-being. India Herbs' Ayurvedic scientists have developed a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries old wisdom to rejuvenate stagnant bodily functions that contribute to weight gain and obesity. The Yogic Slim formulation coupled with adherence to simple advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation will help you lose weight and attain good health through safe, natural means. Results: The precise combination of ingredients in Yogic Slim along with a mind-body focus precisely addresses the concerns of men and women that suffer from excess weight and reduced vitality!

Herbs are the highest quality food known to man containing vitamins, minerals and trace elements in natural balance and harmony. 2. WHY USE HERBS? It is our sincere belief that our Creator put herbs upon the earth to maintain and restore our health. We believe that herbs get to the cause of health problems. 3. ARE THERE BAD SIDE EFFECTS WITH USING HERBS? No, but some people experience cleansing action on the body when first using herbs (such as nausea, diarrhea, aches, etc.). It is this detoxifying process that helps bring the body into a state of health. 4. DO I TREAT HERBS LIKE DRUGS? (For example: small dosages, caution in mixing & possible overdose) Herbs are food, not drugs. Herbs can be taken in large quantities with no harmful side effects. Mixing herbs has less of a side effect than eating different foods together. Therefore, you can take all the herbs you want to get greater health benefits. Most chemical drugs can be taken at the same time as herbs, but is preferable to take at different times. 5. HOW MANY HERBS SHOULD I TAKE AND FOR HOW LONG? When using a new herb, begin with a recommended dosage and observe how your body reacts to it. If you do not receive the desired result, increase or decrease the dosage accordingly. When herbs are used for restoring health, dosages will need to be five-to-seven times that which is required for maintaining health. Depending of course on the ailment and the severity of it, approximately three months of sustained http://www.healingfeats.com/whatrhbs.htm (1 of 3) [2005/04/10/Sunday 22:15:19] What are Herbs? high dosage is usually required before the body is repaired. Sometimes it takes a full year for restoration to occur. The science of Homeopathy teaches that it takes one month for every year of illness for the person to REBUILD the body. If you are working with a Practitioner - take your herbs as suggested by them. 6. HOW SOON SHOULD I GET RESULTS? It's impossible to give a set answer. There are many factors involved. The severity of the problem, the person's assimilation and digestive system, the number of herbs taken, and the particular problem. However, some minor ailments such as constipation and sinus congestion may be relieved within a day, while more chronic symptoms may take weeks to notice results. 7. CAN I QUIT TAKING MY CHEMICAL DRUGS? Don't ever quit taking drugs you're dependent on. Because herbs go to the source of your problems working on building and strengthening your body, many people have gradually decreased drug dosage and frequency with the use of herbs. 8. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE HERBS? Since herbs are food, you can take them whenever you want. Most people will take them before meals so the liquid won't dilute their digestive juices. Others on a busy schedule will take them first thing in the morning and last thing at night. (Some people who take their herbs before meals will experience burping.) Herbs for insomnia and cleansing are mostly taken at night. Appetite depressants and blood sugar balancers are best taken between meals to avoid "highs & lows" that occur with these problems. The best way to take an entire program is WITH your meals.

Christopher Ask almost anyone today what they think about herbal medicine and you'll most likely get a response saying how it's unscientific, primitive, unproved, ineffective, possibly dangerous and how it really doesn't have a place in our modern day and age. However, after having studied herbs for over 30 years, and after having treated untold thousands of patients with every imaginable ailment, I can tell you with authority that there is another side of the story to these commonly accepted beliefs about herbs. The most commonly accepted fallacy is that using herbs is really a primitive form of medicine. But what would you say if I told you that in 1965, over 130 million prescription drugs were written which came from plants? Or if I told you that over 75% of the hormones used in medicine today are derived completely from plants? It hardly does justice to herbs to call them primitive and backward, and at the same time, to label drugs as advanced and modern, when so many drugs are in fact derived from herbs. For example, everyone has heard of digitalis which is a drug used to stimulate the heart. Well, digitalis comes from an herb called foxglove. Another example is the effective anti-clotting agent called coumarol. That too comes from an herb--sweet clover. Another one is reserpine, which is one of the most popular tranquilizers. It comes from an herb named snakeroot. They used snakeroot for thousands of years in India to calm people down. Still another example is quinine. Quinine is very efficient in reducing fever, especially malarial fever. This drug comes from the Peruvian bark in South America. After knowing all this, how can anybody label herbal medicine as "primitive" when herbs were used so effectively for thousands of years? Foxglove for the heart, sweet clover for anti-clotting, Peruvian bark for fevers, snakeroot for tranquilizers. The list is endless. But there's more. All drugs which are extracted out of plants are not in a whole natural state. This is the reason there are so many side effects, which is a medical problem in itself. I'm sure your readers are fairly well versed with some of the side effects which are caused by drugs so I don't have to go into it. On the other hand, the herbs I use are completely safe, and do not have side effects because they are in a natural state. You can take all the Peruvian bark tea you want and you won't have any problems. But take a little too much of the quinine extracted from the Peruvian bark and you will grow deaf. Take a still larger dose and you will die. Another example is white willow bark. White willow bark contains a natural precursor to aspirin. Take a quart of it and you won't have any problems. But take a bottle of aspirin and you might never wake up again. Now, don't misunderstand me and think there are no toxic plants. There are. But we herbalists know about these plants and stay away from them. Once in a while you may hear a story about someone venturing out into the woods, picking an unidentified plant, chewing it and then getting very ill. This is bound to happen when somebody is not an authority on plants, but it's certainly no reason to condemn the whole field of herbal medicine because of it. The same thing would happen if someone went into a drug store blind-folded, and took a few pills of whatever was on the shelf. I think I have established the point that herbs are indeed not primitive and that herbs, when http://www.healingfeats.com/herbsvs.htm (1 of 2) [2005/04/10/Sunday 22:15:37] Herbs vs. Modern Medicine used with guidance, are not toxic and have no side effects. So, let me say a few words about the effectiveness of herbs as compared to drugs. In my thirty years of experience, I have seen some of the sickest people you could ever imagine. You wouldn't believe the number of terminal conditions I have treated in my day. Case after case of people that didn't get will from standard medicines. I don't have to read research reports on whether drugs as a whole are effective or not. I just look at my long waiting list of patients. They are living examples of how effective drugs really are. I certainly don't want to brag about my accomplishments, but I have helped a tremendous amount of people to get well with herbs. It's the best proof I can possibly offer you that herbs are effective in building a healthy body and alleviating disease. As time goes on, more and more people are going to wake up to the fact that herbs really are the way of the future. No matter what disease you have, there is an herb growing somewhere which can get you well. And there is just one more thought I would like to share with you. Please don't think that I'm pushing herbs on you just because I happen to be an herbalist, or that I'm against modern medicines just because I'm not a medical doctor. The only reason I have shared some of my thought with you now is because I just want you to be healthy and be able to lead a long, long life. To me there is nothing more important than to be happy in life and to make others happy. But you can't do this if you yourself are sick and weak. I don't want any of you to suffer like I did. I was born with crippling rheumatoid arthritis. For the first thirty-five years of my life I didn't know a single day of health. I was in a wheelchair most of the time. If I can spare you any of the suffering I went through, I'll feel that I've accomplished something. I'm almost 70 years old now, and I feel healthier now than I ever have in my entire life. I give more than nine lectures a year and I am constantly on the go. If it wasn't for herbal medicine, I doubt I would be here today. When the Lord said in the Bible, "...and the fruit thereof shall be for meat and the leaf thereof for medicine", He meant you should only use herbs and plants to treat your ailments. I hope you follow that advice, because I doubt you'll ever regret it. I wish you the best of health.

As you begin to change your way of eating and add supplements and exercise to your daily living habits, you can expect changes to take place in your body, changes which are often confusing. These changes indicate positive improvement and need to be understood as such. What is meant by a better nutritional program? It is the introduction of foods of higher quality in place of lower quality (see The Junk Food Withdrawal Manual by Monte Kline) and the addition of supplements such as herbs and vitamins. In deciding which foods to choose remember that the closer the food comes to the natural state, the higher the quality. In the natural condition, uncooked, all the enzymes are found intact, the amino acids are in their finest form, and the minerals, vitamins, trace elements, carbohydrates and "life force" are present. This life force, in turn is capable of reproducing healthy tissue. The quality of a nutritional program is also improved by omitting toxic substances such as coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, soft drinks, and cigarettes. Now, what happens when a person follows these rules and makes a decided improvement in the quality of the food consumed and adds those supplements indicated? Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. The amazing intelligence present in every cell of the body and the wisdom of the body begin to manifest immediately. When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissues which the body is made of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the superior materials which it uses to make new and healthier tissue. The body is very selective and always aims for improvement resulting in better health. What, then are the symptoms or signs which we might expect when we first begin to emit the lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods (remember, herbs are food), those which are more alive and more natural? When the use of a toxic stimulant such as coffee, tea, chocolate or cocoa is suddenly stopped, headaches are common and a letdown occurs. This is due to the discard by the body of the toxins called caffeine and teobromine which are removed from the tissues and transported through the bloodstream's during its many bodily rounds. Before the noxious agents reach their final destination for elimination, these irritants register in our consciousness as pain--in other words, headache. The letdown is due to the slower action of the heart--the resting phase which follows the stimulation of more rapid heart action forced upon the body when stimulants were being used. The slower action of the heart, while definitely more healthy, may be experienced as a depressed state of mind for 3-10 days. Then the symptoms vanish and we feel stronger due to the recuperation that follows. To a lesser extent, the same process occurs when we abandon lower quality foods and replace them with better foods. Lower quality foods--those that have additives, spices, salt and pepper, and preservatives tend to be more stimulating than those less prepared and more natural. Likewise, animal foods such as meat are more stimulating than cheese, nuts and vegetable proteins. Consequently, the withdrawal of stimulation which follows the change in diet toward the more natural produces a slower resting phase for http://www.healingfeats.com/hcrisis.htm (1 of 2) [2005/04/10/Sunday 22:15:58] Healing Crisis the heart which registers in the mind as relaxation or a decrease in energy. This initial letdown lasts about ten days or slightly longer and is followed by an increase of strength, a feeling of diminishing stress and greater well-being. After continuing on an improved dietary regimen for any length of time, one may expect to experience "retracing". The cellular intelligence says something like "Oh! Look at all those fine building materials coming in. Now we have a chance to get rid of this old garbage and build a beautiful new house. Let's get this excess bile out the liver and gallbladder and send it to the intestines for elimination. Let's get this sludge moving out of the arteries, veins and capillaries. These smelly, gassy, brain stupefying masses have been here too long--out with them. These arthritic deposits in the joints need to be cleaned up. Let’s get these irritating food preservatives, aspirins, sleeping pills and drugs out the way along with these other masses of fat which have made life so burdensome for us for so long. Let's get going and keep going till the job is done--till we have a beautiful new house!"

What is Hair Mineral Analysis? Answer. It is an analytical test which measures the mineral, trace mineral and toxic metal content of hair. It can provide indications of mineral and endocrine imbalances, and deficiencies and excesses of many essential and toxic elements. More specifically, hair analysis reveals cellular metabolic activity as well as tissue storage levels of trace minerals. It can provide a more holistic and comprehensive picture upon which to base a nutritional program. Question? Why test for minerals? Answer. Trace minerals are essential in countless metabolic functions. The body can manufacture many vitamins, but it cannot produce necessary trace minerals or get rid of many possible excesses. Deficiencies or excesses are often associated with certain health conditions. For example, toxic metals can contribute to learning disorders. Too much iron can contribute to arthritis, high blood pressure, or headaches. Question? What causes mineral imbalance? Answer. There are many contributing factors, such as: improper eating habits, excess physical or emotional stress, environmental toxins and pollution, and improper use of medications and nutritional supplements. Question? Can a healthy person benefit from a mineral analysis? Answer. Yes, it can help determine tendencies towards specific problems. Question? How do I get this done, and what is the cost? Answer. It is an easy procedure that requires a small amount of cut hair. We will teach you how to do this, or you can come to the office to have it done. Through a cooperative arrangement with Trace Elements Lab we are very pleased to be able to offer this for only $65. Question? What information will I receive? http://www.healingfeats.com/hair.htm (1 of 2) [2005/04/10/Sunday 22:17:23] Hair Analysis Q&A Answer. You will receive an individualized, printed evaluation and detailed discussion of your metabolic type, current mineral levels, and their impact upon your body chemistry. You'll also receive recommendations of specific foods and supplements based upon the analysis. This will better help you eliminate unnecessary supplements and target your specific needs.

Example: For instance, nausea can indicate that your liver needs support or that it is toxic. Why not eliminate toxins in your diet and aid the liver with some milk thistle, dandelion or therapies that can help it do its job rather than creating a cirrhosis situation? A stabbing pain in the middle of your back could indicate gallbladder attack or gall stones. Why not take steps to eliminate greasy foods, and take supplements that could help your body break down harden fatty stones? http://www.healingfeats.com/disclaimer.htm (1 of 2) [2005/04/10/Sunday 22:17:34] PAIN CHART!
