Foreword
Dr. Christopher's New Herb Lectures are for me the heart of his teaching. In these lectures we
hear from him directly how each part of the body can be made whole by using the correct herbs
and the holistic program. The lectures lead you systematically through the body from the
digestive system, to the circulatory system, the liver, the kidneys, the skin, the eyes, the ears, the
brain and the nervous system, the neuromuscular system, arthritis, breathing, and culminate with
the Incurables Program for the so called incurable diseases which are actually curable with
natural healing. The use of the cosmic forces, the air, pure water, body movement, reflexology,
hot and cold bathes, sun bathes, and the use of the earth are all included in easy to understand but
amazingly complete form.
His words are eloquent, his jokes make us laugh, and his compassion touches our hearts. In
these lectures you find many of the herbal formulas Dr. Christopher actually used with success in
his practice, some of them are not in his books, and many of the herbal formulas in his books he
did not actually use. The "how to" prevent and cure is captured here in these lectures and after
absorbing what is in them you are ready to read with more understanding all of Dr. Christopher's
books.
These lectures are the key to understanding natural healing and becoming a practical herbalist.
I recommend everybody to start with them. The audio of these lectures can be found on
YouTube on the Christopher Lectures channel.

Lecture No. 1 Introduction -- Elimination
Whole Person International Inc. is pleased to present the following live recording
of Dr. Christopher‟s New Herb Lectures. Dr. Christopher delivered these lectures
in February of 1978 before a select and limited studio audience in Provo, Utah.
Don Bjorenson, president of Whole Person Intl. Inc. and a close friend of Dr.
Christopher will now introduce the master herbalist.
“Thank you. By 1950, almost 3 decades ago, Dr. John Ray Christopher had begun
a successful practice, having earned the formal recognition and degrees of Master
Herbalist, Naturopathic Doctor, and finally that of Herbal Pharmacist. He
practiced in Olympia, Washington, Evanston, Wyoming, and Salt Lake City, where
he had a staff of 14 people, including masseurs, zonal therapists, and a
chiropractor. He enjoyed marvelous success in helping people through his clinic.
His success aroused considerable notoriety which in turn provoked resentment in
the city. Now he was incarcerated in fact and in 4 instances was brought before the
court only to be exonerated each time. The opposition turned to persecution and he
was forced to abandon his practice in Salt Lake City and to move to a smaller
community. By so doing, he had hoped to continue helping people by keeping his
practice on a low key profile. Sadly enough though, Dr. Christopher became the
victim of newly contrived legislature and was forced to stop his practice.
What appeared to be a tragic ending turned into a blessed beginning, as Dr.
Christopher stepped into the lecture circuit, and now he visits some 50 cities a year
where he is giving thousands of people the amazing benefit of his knowledge and
experience. As a representative of Whole Person Intl., I really feel privileged to
introduce a man so persistent, so durable, and so faithful to his cause, one of the
world‟s leading authorities in herbology and natural healing, Dr. John Ray
Christopher.”
“Thank you very much. We are going to discuss during the next short time items
on the human body and how to improve that body, making it so that we can live
better lives. The reason we have to do this is because between now and the turn of
the century, which is only a few years away, we are having lots of troubles. There
will be wars and rumors of wars. There‟ll be earthquakes. There will be
pestilence. There will be plagues, famines. We will have nothing but trouble.
Those who wish to go on and survive, those who wish to go on into that 1000 years
of peace of the millennium will be the ones who have their bodies in a good
5
enough condition that they can ignore and offset any disease that is rampant at the
time and where they are.
To improve the body and make it possible to go through this condition of living,
which will be the pure condition, is to watch each part of the body that is in
weakness and build it. The only way that we build the body is in its natural way.
We have what is called the holistic program, and the holistic program is a program
wherein the human body can be improved in every way that is beneficial and
harmful in no way. But in no way that is damaging. This program of the holistic
routine is in variance to many of the beliefs, because some believe that they can do
healings with certain types of programs that leave side effect and after effect. This
we do not want. So we start with building the body right from the very beginning
and if we have a good clean body the spirit is clean, and with the spirit clean we
have peace within us. And peace will never grow until the world has learned this
principle.
To offset these scourges, the troubles that are coming, and prepare ourselves for
that wonderful 1000 years of millennial times, we will have to go through a little
programming, and that programming is to control the taste bud and the carnal
desires. We have hurt people over the years in our program because we have
charged them a little money. We don‟t get what a lot of them do, with frontals and
with specific types of operations. But that hurts the people. Another way is
through therapy. And as some of you people know, a little therapy, reflexology,
massage, can sometimes be a little on the painful side.
But the most painful thing that we can do to a person is to interfere with their taste
bud. And when we interfere with that taste bud we‟ve many times lost a friend.
Because they have built a pattern, their mothers and parents and their parents
before them have passed down specific types of goodies that are killers. And these
things that they are used to, they just feel that they couldn‟t survive without them.
And we say “Emm, maybe you could, if you will just get over the hurdle and start
living the program of the mucusless diet.”
This mucusless diet is an extremely important part of our program, because we are
made from the dust of the Earth. And the dust of the Earth itself can be in various
grades – the type that can make third rate brick or Dresden china. And we have to
pick that type of dust that we are going to make our bodies out of, because the
human body has in it all the minerals and all the substances that are in our mother,
Mother Earth. And the closer we come to having a complete body the better off
we are. To get the minerals from the Mother Earth, we have the one big problem
6
of assimilating them. We can go into the parking lot and get a shovel full of dust
of the Earth and put it on an Osmond Separator and it will separate the various
types of minerals and put it into segregated piles. And we can take each pile,
pharmaceutically grind it down to a point of medicinal fineness, put it into
capsules, and take it.
Alright, we are getting the minerals, the iron, the sulfur, the magnesium, and the
various types of minerals. They are accepted into the body and accepted very
easily. But not much of it is assimilated. And that which is accepted and not
assimilated lies in the body with a heavy vibration that is almost impossible to
move out. It goes to places that are weak, specific parts of the body that are in
weakened conditions and lie there because that part of the body hasn‟t got the
ability of moving it on. And that mineral which has been accepted now has the
side effect and after effect of constant irritation. And with enough irritation in that
area, we have an organ that is now in malfunction to a point that serious diseases
can come in. And these inorganics are often times the basis of many diseases that
are dreaded, such as cancer itself.
We have now a way of getting these minerals into the body (the dust of the Earth)
and in so doing it is the proper way, because the good Lord tells us in his scriptures
that all of our herbs must be taken in their wholesome state. And in that
wholesome state, we have all the minerals that they have collected from the Earth.
Let me put it this way – with a thousand seeds, it is almost impossible for the
average individual to look at them and tell which seed will grow which plant,
because they look identical. And yet one specific seed has the ability of going
down into the earth, as does your yellow dock, and drawing to it and demanding
iron. And of all the minerals that‟s in the yellow dock root, 42% of those minerals
is iron. So it demands and that is why the lord says, “If you had the faith of a
mustard seed you would move mountains.” The little seed from the Yellow Dock
doesn‟t even question whether it can get that iron, it just says “I‟m going to have
that iron and that‟s that.” And so it gets it. It has no shadow of doubt in its little
mind that it‟s going to accomplish what it wants to do.
Each herb that grows on the face of this Earth has its own way of demanding the
minerals that it needs. As your garlic, it demands sulfur and it‟ll draw sulfur from
the Earth. This sulfur is now something that is very beneficial to mankind. Where
the flowers of sulfur (the mineral that is down in the Earth) can be beneficial, but
leaves side effect and after effect. Wherein that that has accumulated in the garlic
itself is beneficial with no side effect and no after effect. It is assimilated as well
as just being accepted into the body. So the thousands upon thousands of different
7
seeds each of them have their own requirement of what they demand. Because
each seed is as different as each individual in this audience, each seed has its own
life to live and its own plant to build, and each plant is as different as night and
day. Each plant is as different as each human who has a different iris of the eye
from the one next to them, has a different brain, a different conscience. And so
each plant is different.
Now the Lord tells us how we are going to get these minerals from the dust of the
Earth. In Psalms 104-14 He tells us in words to this effect “and the grass is for the
cattle, but the herb is for the purpose of man to bring forth food from the Earth.”
And so the food from the Earth is brought forth in the form of the herb and that is
its purpose on Earth. We would not be here today if it would not be for herbs,
because without herbs – which is every growing thing that is inanimate, that stays
in one place. Those herbs whether they are small tiny ones that you almost need a
microscope to see to the largest Sequoia tree, they‟re all herbs and the good Lord
says in Genesis 1.29 “All seed bearing green herbs I the Lord have given you to be
used as food.” And in Ezekiel 47 it says “And the fruit of the tree shall be for meat
and the leaf thereof for medicine.” In Genesis again it tells us that these herbs are
going to be for meat. And in the Doctrine and Covenants (which is one of our later
day revelations) it tells us that all herbs should be used in their wholesome state,
because in their wholesome state we have the key that makes it possible for life
itself to generate with great strength. When we break down the herbs we now have
lost a great deal of value. As the wheat – we take off the brans, and we take off the
shorts, we take the heart out of it, we take the oils out, and we have the white flour
left. Well, this is not in its wholesome state. And it is not nutritious. It is
definitely harmful, regardless of what is said in our advertisements that it is
beneficial in many ways to build the power of the body. But it is worthless and we
find that we are getting a weaker and weaker race by not being able to use
wholesome foods as we should.
And these wholesome foods have in them everything that we need – as in your
grains. And, by the way, we believe in using the grains in their wholesome state,
though many teachers say grains, lintels, and seeds are damaging to the human
body because they are a PH5, they are acid. Alright, but they are still to be used,
and the Lord has shown us how to change it from acid to alkaline or to a neutral
status where they can be assimilated instead of just being accepted in the form of
mucus into the body. And so we keep those grains whole, we keep our foods
whole. In your grains we have the answer for all our vitamin B‟s and vitamin E‟s.
They are all there.
8
A man goes down and orders some vitamin B1 or vitamin B2 or some B3 or 6 or
12. If he only would stop to realize, in the grain itself we have all of the vitamins
we know about, plus vitamin B119 and 132.5. We don‟t know anything about
those, the good Lord does. He‟s left it in there. So if we eat the grains and our
foods in their wholesome state, we will have the values that we need. Here we
have got now food. And this food, if we use the mucusless diet which we
recommend, which is in our little booklet The Three Day Cleanse and the
Mucusless Diet, that could give us good life and sustain us. And we could improve
gradually over the years. But there are times when we need something just a little
more potent, because maybe the heart is limping along, or maybe the liver is
swollen up and giving us some problems. Maybe the stomach is ulcerated. We
have to have foods for these to rebuild them.
But here is where the herbs come in that we want to talk about today. We want to
tell you how each of those specific organs when they are in malfunction can be
brought back to normal, or if they have never been normal since we have been
born they can be made correct and in many cases built to perfection. So each herb
that we talk about has its own value in the human body. Some of them more value
in one way than another.
Let‟s go in now to our first big problem in the human body, and that is the bowel.
This word is something that we have kind of shied away from and don‟t talk about
in public. And consequently even in private we have problems with it because we
haven‟t brought it out and taken care of it. And so we‟ve got to take this particular
part of the body and get it into perfect condition. Because a person who is having
3 to 5 good bowel movement s a day is far better off than a person who has one
once in a while. Sometimes one a day and sometimes every five or six days and,
as some patients we have had, 9 and 10 days between bowel movements. They
aren‟t very nice people to live around and we find that this is where 90% of all
disease starts is in the bowel itself. So that‟s why we want to take this up as our
number one subject. The bowel being offended and not watched carefully gets to a
point where it‟s not nice to be around.
So, let‟s figure out what we are going to do about this bowel. Number one, we‟ve
got to give it the proper foods. We have to feed it foods that can be assimilated,
that will help the bowel move well, and that‟s where our mucusless diet fits in.
But we must have something else to meet with this and that would be -- number
one, plenty of water. Most people are dehydrated and the reason they are is
because they seem to forget that the body is made up of almost 80% liquid, and if
9
we don‟t keep replacing it we‟re going to run short. We believe in of course the
purest materials to go into this body that we can ever get. The purest materials that
we can think of in the form of liquids would be: pure water. And you definitely
are not going to get pure water from the average city tap. You are not going to get
it from the streams that flow beautifully through the countryside, because they are
polluted. Even our wells. This is why we believe in distilled water. There have
been many, many books written on distilled water. Some of our old herbals going
back hundreds of years tell us to use distilled water. But the distilling of water is
nothing new, because God made the first great distiller. That sun came out, got
warm, and accumulated to it the filthy water that was on the face of the Earth, took
that water up into the sky, formed a cloud, and from that cloud comes the rain
which is zero soft and absolutely pure. When it falls to Earth, the wise animals
would always drink from fresh pools of rain water. But today, with our air
polluted and the Earth polluted, the rain doesn‟t even have a decent chance to get
to Earth without being fouled up.
Those poor little rain drops look down and say: “Do I have to go through that filth
again?” Well, here is where we have to pattern after what the good Lord gave us
in the first place, the perfect distiller, and it has to be done through using steam
distillation. And with this steam heat and steam distilled water we have water that
is pure. The water that is pure, people are a little afraid of, because they say it may
leach the minerals out of our body. Well praise the Lord. That is what we want it
to do. Because it will leach out the minerals that have been accepted into the body
but not assimilated. Those minerals that are stagnated, that are in the veins and the
arteries, causing hardening of the arteries. Those very minerals that are in the
kidneys causing kidney stones, in the gallbladder, those that are in the joints of the
body causing stiffness.
These are minerals that are accepted into the body but not assimilated. The
distilled water will accept the accepted minerals and act like a magnet and draw
them into the water and disburse them through the kidney and bowel area. But
those minerals that can be assimilated the distilled water will never touch. The
distilled water will leave that alone because as a battery will pick up a piece of
metal but not wood, so the distilled water will pick up inorganic dead minerals that
are accepted into the body but not the live minerals that are assimilated. So we
should drink (an average adult) a gallon of distilled water each day. We have some
that are a little smaller than others in the form of physical weight and we couldn‟t
get a gallon into some if we tried. So we have a way of figuring this out: one
ounce of distilled water (liquid ounce) to the pound of human weight. So a person
weighing around 130 pounds would take approximately a gallon. But a person that
10
was just 32 pounds, a quart would be about the right amount. Well that would be a
small child of that weight. And when you have gotten to be a big person – well
anyhow I think you can figure the rest of that out. But the minimum that the adult
would use would be a gallon if they are 130 pounds or over.
Now we have with that bowel a stagnation that is frightening because those foods –
a question mark after „foods,‟ because many of those things are highly advertised
on radio and television that are called foods but that are actually fillers that are
loaded with mucus, and they glue themselves on to the side walls of the bowel, and
the closer they get to the outside the harder they get until we have eventually a
mucus casing around the wall of the bowel itself that is as hard as a plastic pipe in
many cases. With this the food cannot be assimilated through. It is just like a big
piece of pipe going through the body, and we assimilate 7 maybe 8 percent of the
foods we eat.
But when we can get rid of the mucus lining, and the large ballooned areas that are
loaded with mucus, and get that bowel clean, then we can assimilate 40 to 45
percent instead of 7 or 8. That 40 to 45 percent would be pretty close to maximum
because a lot of our food is in the form of cellulose and bulk that cannot be
assimilated. But it is good roughage. So, here we have a job to work on, because
the average individual 30, 40, 50 years of age has in their body old fecal matter,
mucus that is accumulated over these years and hardened. So we have got to get
rid of it. Well a regular laxative, as you‟ll find so many hundreds and hundreds of
laxatives on the market today, they work on the effect and they will give a quick
flush out of the body of the loose materials that are there, but they don‟t do all the
help that we need.
Enemas? Yes, you can flush out with an enema. And like one man said as I
looked into his eyes one day and as I saw in the iris that his bowel was horribly
congested. I said “how long since you had a bowel movement?” He says, “Oh, I
have two bowel movements every day.” And I says, “oh, impossible.” “No, two
enemas, two bowel movements.” Alright, so now we have a crutch. And that
enema becomes such a crutch that without it we are constipated again.
We also have other conditions that we use of cleaning out the body and these are
also things that we have to depend on if we use them too long. What we want to
do is put the right type of food in and make the bowel work on its own. It takes
longer, but supposing you had colonics as a lady said to me in Texas a short time
ago. “Well, I just had $385 worth of colonics and the x-rays showed that I was just
as clean as clean could be. When I started eating again, I got pains in the same
11
places where I had them before and it is starting to fill back in in those areas.” Of
course, because the colonic was just working on the effect, and had only cleaned
out the fecal matter and left the same weakened bowel area that was there before.
And like an old inner tube, that weak area balloons out. And that wasn‟t helped at
all; we didn‟t go into the cause.
Using an herbal formula that is built for this specific reason, we go into the cause
and we clean up this bowel so that it will eventually be just as clean as with the
colonics, but it takes a lot longer. And a little cheaper too. Well, anyhow it takes a
lot longer. But the bowel will be healed and it will take care of itself from this
point on. We have a number of herbs that we use in our bowel remedy. We call it
our bowel food, because all herbs are foods. And that‟s all we are going to talk
about is feeding the body during the series of these lectures. But here are some of
the herbs that we use in this formula. It tells about in our little booklet
Rejuvenation Through Elimination, and it gives it quite complete.
But we use barberry bark. And the reason we use the barberry is that it works on
the liver and the liver is part of that bowel area. We want to get the bile flowing.
And when that bile flows freely, it within itself acts as a laxative. But in most of
us the bile is congealed. It is to a point where it‟s in little marbles, bile marbles
and gall stones. So, we‟ve got to loosen that up and this is where your barberry fits
in. Get‟s the bile flowing. And because of this we get aid right from the very
beginning.
And our next herb is called cascara, Cascara sagrada. This is a specific food for
the peristaltic muscle. This is a food that makes the peristaltic muscle start
working again. Even though it‟s been dormant for years. It‟ll give it its first real
meal – its first real bit of food. The cascara and the barberry now are both
laxatives within themselves. But when they are used in their wholesome state not
broken down and only parts of them used, then they work without being habit
forming. We put some cayenne in, which is capsicum. And the cayenne is a
stimulant, to stimulate the cell structure throughout the bowel as it travels through
with this bowel food. And the cayenne also will stop small amounts of bleeding, if
we have some problems there.
We now have another herb called ginger (our Jamaica ginger) we use to act as a
lead sheep. In other words, this is an herb that will lead the other herbs into the
abdominal area. And it acts like a sheep at the head of a flock. It will lead them
along and they will all follow. Well, the other herbs will follow the ginger. But
when they get down in there it also will stop pain and it will stop cramping and a
12
number of things of this type that are inconveniencing to a person, because the bile
is starting to flow now and as that bile flows it makes the chemical laboratory of
the bowel stirring up the old sulfur that is there in the fecal matter and this is sulfur
from sulfanilamide, sulfathiazole, or from sulfur that we use with sulfur molasses
in the spring or sulfur from cooked eggs that we had last Easter and the one before.
This sulfur is stirred up and the bile starts making hydrogen sulfide gas with it,
which makes a very unsavory, uncomfortable condition. So, we put sweet fennel
or wild yam in to offset the gas and make it behave itself. We know the fennel also
is an anti-colic herb and keeps the colic down.
We include now lobelia. Lobelia is the thinking herb; it‟s the catalyst; it‟s the
accentuator. Lobelia is one of the greatest herbs that we have got. It‟s got so
many wonderful uses. So we combine that. We also will use red raspberry leaves.
Red raspberry leaves will bring back some of the acids that are lost. It will also
bring back iron. The iron is robbed from the body with the sulfur because the
sulfur and the iron makes an iron sulfide that carries the iron out of the body and
will cause anemia. Your red raspberry leaves bring back a goodly amount of the
iron and is an aid here.
Your turkey rhubarb is actually the only pure laxative herb that‟s in there. Turkey
rhubarb is also called China or India rhubarb. This is an aparient type laxative.
Very mild. So mild that you can make a tea of it and give it to a baby and it will
get 3 bowel movements without any griping, without any discomfort whatsoever.
And so we have now goldenseal which is the healer. And goldenseal is there to
make the package complete.
Here we have now a group of herbs that all work compatibly together and work as
a chorus that sings good harmony. And here we have a healing food. And yet it
works as a laxative. We do recommend that the individual who has not had the
good free bowel movements start with a little more than we generally recommend.
We start people off with recommending two double-ought capsules three times a
day. Of course if you just wish to drink the tea – and are brave enough – they‟re
pretty nasty. But it is easier to put it into capsules. So a couple of double-ought
capsules three times a day for the average individual. And then you have to
modulate either down or up. If it isn‟t quite enough, increase. If it is too much,
taper it off. There are no two people alike. Your bowel is as different as the iris of
the eye and as the thumb print. They‟re different from one person to another. So
let‟s go through to the principle now of how many you could use – which could be
(as we have had with some patients) 40 to 45 capsules a day, which is/sounds like a
lot of herbal food. Well it took that many for one lady I remember to blast her
13
loose. She had troubles. She‟d been chronically constipated for over 25 years and
was just a nasty individual. She just was snapped and snarly. Everything that
came out of her mouth was nasty. Well it took 40 to 45 capsules a day for 3 days.
But then she started to break loose and she tapered it off. Well it was in a matter
of months, she was down to 2 capsules 3 times per day, where we start most
people. But at the end of a year, she was having 3 to 5 bowel movements a day,
without using any of the herbal bowel food at all.
Now here is the key, because in all of our herbal program, there are three types of
herbs we do not use: number one, we do not use poisonous herbs; number two, we
do not use toxic herbs; and number three, we do not use habit forming herbs. So
anything that makes it so that you have to be in the habit of using like a laxative
that you have to use the rest of your life – this is not good for you. We have it so
that when you eventually get that bowel rebuilt. Of course it isn‟t just eating the
way you‟ve always had your meals and lots of mucus foods and expect this to do
the job. It‟s got to have some cooperation by using the mucusless diet. By using
plenty of whole grains. By using plenty of water, and now you can heal that bowel
so that you need it no more. So it‟s not habit forming. This whole program of
getting the bowel in good condition is the key to getting your whole body into
good healing effect.
One thing that we forget and that is we blame all of our problems, all of our
nastiness, all of our ridiculous ways of doing things, on the devil. I think we
should blame at least 90% of them on the bowel, because if that bowel were clean
you would find that the individual who is hard to get along with, unsavory, and
really a nasty person even to talk to, becomes sweet and nice when the bowel is
clear. A person who is hard of hearing, they become practically deaf when they
are constipated. A woman who has difficult menstrual periods, when she has
constipation she rolls on the floor in pain. And so it is our troubles start with the
bowel. And we have got here something that should be cleared up just as quickly
as we can. And there is no time like starting right now and getting to work at it,
and then we‟ll work from there on to other parts of the body.
And these are some of the things we‟re going to be instructing as we go along stepby-step how to clear up the whole body. But here is the proper way to take care of
the bowel by letting nature take care of it itself. Some people say, well we were
supposed to take enemas because in the Gospel by the Essenes they teach how that
there was the gourd and the reed and these were used for an enema. But remember
when Jesus taught this he wasn‟t teaching the multitudes, he wasn‟t teaching ninety
and nine. He had the isolated ones down by the river who stank so bad from their
14
fecal matter that even their breath was impossible to be near. And he had a few
down there teaching them this principle not to go this way the rest of their life. No.
But he was giving them (the one – not the ninety and nine) the instruction on how
to live and get themselves in to a good condition so they could be over there with
that ninety and nine. This is what we are trying to do now. I think maybe we‟ve
got time for maybe a question or two. Have you any questions now?
Question: I was wondering when you regulate yourself on this formula you would
not take so many that you would have a liquid stool. It should be well formed or
partially formed – what‟s your opinion?
Doctor Christopher: This is a very interesting question because people are quite the
students on BMs. And they say, “Well I have a big long formed BM.” Well
they‟re constipated. Any time it‟s formed, constipation is there. And that means
there is still mucus to make this forming. A proper bowel movement is one that is
a loose bowel movement and yet not in a diarrhea type runny form. But just a
solid mass coming out in a form that‟s very comfortable and easy. When you‟ve
got to a point where you think: “Humph, gosh, I haven‟t done hardly anything and
then you‟ve got up and see the toilet bowl is full, you‟ll know that you have had a
bowel that‟s working properly because it comes out so easy and fast, but any time
that it‟s formed, it‟s improper. But you should have no less than 3 bowel
movements a day – and preferably 5 – one when you arise in the morning, one
when you retire at night, and one after each meal. But the least you should have
would be 3, if you are eating. If you are not eating of course that‟s different story.
Question: If I ever get a headache, I know I am constipated.
Doctor Christopher: Right.
Question: And I used to wonder why I‟d get headaches. Because, and since I
stopped using the aspirin and all these garbage things, why I find I never have one
if I keep my bowels clean.
Doctor Christopher: This is another good point, you know. General constipation
will cause headaches on the frontal across the forehead area. But once in a while
we will have some on the sideal. Alright. Or we will have a migraine headache.
In nearly all cases, a migraine headache stems from heavy collection of fecal
matter in the secum at the bottom of the ascending colon. And when through
getting this specific area cleared out we‟ll find that the migraine headache will
generally leave too. After three days of juice cleanse, most people are free of
15
headaches even though they have had them for many, many years. Because it‟s
started breaking these things loose.
Now to assist in getting rid of the bowel fecal matter that‟s solidified in there if an
individual will … Now we use enemas during emergencies or during treatment
time. If you will take a catnip enema – cold catnip enema – always cold because a
warm enema you get rid of it in a hurry, because it causes the bowel to expand and
the anus to expand where cold causes it to contract. You‟ll hold it longer and
allow it to soak in. But this will be not what we would call a full enema. It would
be an herbal injection with a syringe or something of maybe a pint or a little bit
more of catnip tea. Now lying on the back and then working it over so that it‟ll go
down into the ascending colon area – if that‟s where your problem is. Then after it
has settled in that area, then you do deep massage and do a circular massage
clockwise preferably and always work toward the direction that the bowel moves
in – which is clockwise. Do not reverse, do not go backward. Always work from
the ascending colon up across the transverse and down the descending colon, into
the sigmoid and out, and then repeat this same way. But if you can hold more than
the pint well fine, but most people can‟t. But this is a good start. The catnip is a
relaxant and it is a nervine also and it‟ll cause the bowel to relax in this area and
help you break more fecal matter loose in the massage. Now do not do a heavy
rolfing to the point that it will bruise or damage. You‟ve got to use reasoning with
this, because, if it is causing any pain, and as you do your massage, if your fingers
are sensitive and you are with it you can feel where the heavy fecal collections are
and work them out.
Question: If the transverse colon has dropped, which I am acquainted with, that
also can be corrected. I mean it‟s not as bad as it was because of the lower bowel
food that we have been given. But it seems to take a long time. Is there any
different thing that you say that we could use … The cascara sagrada that feeds the
peristaltic muscle, does that help?
Doctor Christopher: Definitely, these are the things that will give assistance to
getting the bowel back into condition. As we talk about that prolapsed transverse
colon – the prolapsed transverse colon as it sags down, it‟s almost impossible for
that fecal matter to come back uphill again, because it is lying there in a ravine.
And it is in a bad way. So, this is where we have to start giving it strength.
16
Now we do this by feeding. The principle in the first place is the fact that the
muscles are so weak that they can‟t hold the bowel up. And then the bowel starts
to sag, and as it sags more and more fecal matter collects. We‟ve seen some sad
things. A lady came to us that had fasted and gone without food because she had a
large tummy. Well, what had happened is she had a tire that was hanging down
there and she couldn‟t get rid of it. With all of her fasting and everything else, it
was still there because it couldn‟t go up hill. It was just lying there in a pocket.
Alright, we put her on a program and the next time – as she had lost weight she lost
her weight so that her arms were skinny, her legs were skinny, but she still had this
ballooned transverse colon and it stuck out, looked worse than it did before.
Alright, we put her on a program I am going to tell you now that‟ll help. And the
pocket left. And this is what it is.
We have a combination of a number of herbs that are a bowel food and it helps
build up tissue and muscle. So, this is the one that we use with so many women
who have a tipped uterus and problems in the reproductive organs because of a
prolapsed transverse. Here is where you will lie on a slant board in the morning or
with the buttocks elevated with pillows or something so that the liquid will stay
down. And use an injection of the combination instead of your catnip tea. And
this has about – oh, ten or twelve herbs in it, and each of them are muscle and
tissue foods. And while you‟re lying here on the slant board you knead and
massage the pelvic area and the bowel area up in the entire where the transverse
colon should be and below where it actually is. You do the whole thing. And
knead and massage very thoroughly while that tea is in place. Now the tea is a
food and while the muscles and the nerves are being exercised they demand
feeding. Alright, the food is right there for them. And the bowel will start to lift
itself.
We had a case I remember that was so good to see, because this woman was in her,
oh, fifties/sixties – up in middle way of 50s – and she had a prolapsed transverse
colon, and she was slated for a hysterectomy because the uterus was tipped and she
didn‟t want it. Well she asked if there was any way she could be helped. We put
her on to this program. Of course we gave her the full routine of the vaginal bolus
and etcetera, which can be used rectally also at night. But she used this
combination. And when I went back to that city 6 months later, she bounced in.
She was just full of pep and energy because this condition had left now. Her bowel
had come back up. It will never come clear back up to where it should be, but it
will come up. And the pressure was off of the uterus. And the uterus had lifted
itself back up again. And she did not need the hysterectomy. Well she was happy
17
about the whole thing and that took 6 months. With some people it‟ll take a lot
longer than that.

Lecture No. 2 Bloodstream
We‟re going to talk now on the bloodstream, which is the river of life. The
bloodstream, to be perfect has got to be that which will carry good food to the
whole body and carry off the waste materials. This consist of the arteries, the veins
and the capillaries and this covers not just a few feet of these but it runs into miles,
actually miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries in each human being. But what do
we do with them? Ahh! We really foul them up. Those arteries and veins,
arteriosclerosis, hardening of arteries. This is sad that we haven‟t taken better care
of this condition. We have in the arteries and veins, tissue and cells that have to be
kept alive and vibrant. This is done by proper feeding again. Improper is the
killing of the very system itself. The very river is being plugged by improper
feeding. Our biggest problem today is the use of sugars, refined sugars and
starches, processed foods. It is causing hardening of the arteries. It is causing the
arteries to be lined like a, well, your plumbing in the house gets to the point where
there‟s only just dripping coming out of the tap, and you wonder “what in the
world?” So a plumber comes in and he cuts a section off of the pipe and as you
look inside it‟s all corroded up with calcium. It‟s to a point where the water
couldn‟t touch the, couldn‟t even get to the outside pipe because it‟s running
through a little channel that has built itself, layer upon later. That‟s what we‟re
doing with our arteries and veins right now, which makes it so that hardening of
the arteries is one of our big killers. Using the sugar and the starches, which turn
to sugar, we have here something which leaches out the calcium, and the first place
it leaches out is in the artery and vein area, because this is one of the first places it
hits, before it ever gets into the muscle tissue, or into the bones. And so the veins
and the arteries become weakened. They become so weakened that all of the
sudden it feels like a bee sting. And we look down and it isn‟t a bee sting; one of
the veins has broken. It has got to a point where it‟s like a balloon that‟s been
blown up with a weak place on it. And that weak place can‟t take the pressure, and
it breaks. Enough of the veins break and we have varicosity that‟s severe, where
we have varicose veins that can go into phlebitis. Phlebitis can go into more
serious things such as gangrene. And when we get through with this whole story
you‟ll find that the arteries and veins must be kept in good condition. That‟s what
we want to talk about now.
Number one we‟ve got to keep them clean and keep away from cholesterol type
foods, and processed foods, hard water, any water coming from the tap will do the
same in your arteries as it‟s doing to the plumbing system in your house. The
exact same thing. By the time a person reaches seventy years of age, they have
had over three thousand pounds of this material go through their body – solid
19
calciums. And if you are able to throw them off, fine. But so many of us can‟t,
and so it forms kidney stones, gallstones, arthritis, neuritis, bursitis, glaucoma,
cataracts. The hardening of the arteries is, of course, one of the most serious parts
of it. We‟ve got to do a job of rebuilding this system and cleaning it out. It can be
done over a period of time with just cayenne alone.
In my twenties and early thirties no insurance company would take me, even for a
thousand dollar policy; they weren‟t big enough gamblers to take me at that time
because I had hardening of the arteries. Oh, I had a few other minor things, like
born with arthritis and stomach ulcers and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, but, uhm, this
was one thing they hit hardest was the fact that I had hardening of the arteries.
And I started with cayenne when I was 35 years old. By the time I was 45 it was
five years past the time medical science told me I was supposed to be dead. I was
only supposed to live, if possible, after some of my accidents, if I could go to my
40‟th year I‟d be very fortunate. Otherwise it would be very brief, in a hospital
bed or a wheelchair. But the hardening of the arteries was, by this time at 45, five
years past the time, I was wondering how I was doing.
Someone had bought one of my inventions, a group of fellows, and having not told
them all of facts and everything because I wanted some protection myself.
Knowing my background they were afraid I would die before they got the results
they needed and asked if I would go on a hundred thousand dollar policy. I was a
gambler and I said “well, yes.” So, it took two doctors with four examinations,
two examinations apiece, scattered. One of them kept looking at my chart and he
looked up at me and said “is that right, you‟re forty-five years of age?” and I said
“yes, why?” He said “well, you have the bloodstream of a 17 year old boy.” And I
said “well, that‟s about right. I figure that‟s the way it should be.”
And the other one took my blood pressure five times, and I said “doesn‟t that thing
work?” and he said “why it always has before, but it doesn‟t look like it‟s working
with you, because you‟re forty-five and you that shows a perfect systolic over your
diastolic. Perfect!” and he said “it couldn‟t be” and I said “well, it is” and he said
“ok.” I got a clean bill of health at forty-five years of age. No hardening of the
arteries. And we passed on the thousand dollar insurance examination. Of course
someone else was paying for the premiums, thank goodness.
This sometimes is longer than we want to go, and so we‟ll go to other routines. At
that time I didn‟t know anything about distilled water, which is one of the most
important things for hardening of the arteries. I didn‟t know about using shoulder
stands or slant boards, I didn‟t know anything about this at all, and I didn‟t know a
20
thing about such herbal combinations as a blood purifying routine, but this is
important.
We number one, to keep that bloodstream in good condition, as always, we go to
our basics. A good mucusless diet, the cleanse regularly, and it‟s good to do that
three day juice cleanse at least once a month. And then use a good blood purifying
tea. Now there are a number of good teas that we can use. These particular teas,
used singly, are excellent. Burdock root is for furunculosis, which the common
term is boils. For boils there is nothing better than burdock root tea. And for acne.
It‟s good for arthritis. We have another herb that‟s very good as a blood purifier.
It‟s called creosote bush. It‟s one of the chapparal family. As I‟ve always said,
anything that‟s that nasty has to be good. So we‟ve got there something that‟s
good for arthritis. It‟s good as a general blood purifying tea. We have many
others, but I would like to go into a blood purifying tea that we thought we had an
exclusive on. We‟d use it for years. People with all types of malfunctions used it
and got tremendous results with cancer and other things. After a while we found
out that a person who had come back from Hoxsey clinic just to see how the cancer
was coming along, they told us that at the Hoxsey clinic they were informed that
our formula was almost identical to theirs. And we didn‟t even know they had it
and they didn‟t know I had it. Chief Sundance, Idaho Falls, when we were
swapping herbal formulas we found out that again we had the same formula again
for our blood purifying. The good Lord had left it a number of places because each
of us had different types of people come to us. And this I was grateful for it. But
let me run down quickly what we have here. I won‟t go into the botanical names,
I‟ll just go onto the herbs themselves.
xxxxxx
This is made up of red clover. Red clover is the blossom that we use. It‟s an
alterative, and it has many things that it is used for. We use that though in a large
amount, six parts or more. The rest of the herbs are single. And the next one is
Chapparal once more. This has many advantages; it‟s a diuretic and an antiarthritic, it‟s a detergent and an astringent. We go from chapparal into licorice
root. Now the licorice root works on the pituitary gland and the pineal gland. It
aids many parts of the body, and so we‟re using a blood purifier in the gland area
there.
The poke root is quite an alterative. And it‟s a resolvant. It dissolves the calcified
materials that are lining the arteries and veins. The peach bark is what we call a
bitter tonic. Of course all good tonics are bitter. But it has a laxative effect, and it
is one of our choice herbs. But we now go into Oregon grape. The Oregon grape
is to go in and do its job in the liver and gallbladder area and do a blood cleansing
21
and purifying there. It‟s an alterative. It‟s a hepatic. Being a hepatic is one that‟s
a specific for the liver and gall bladder area. Stillingia is a pure alterative herb.
And prickly ash bark. Now here we have one that is a stimulant, but it is also a aid
for the cardiac, for the heart, and it assists the heart in being cleaned up. It works
also as a tonic, as a nervine. Now we include burdock. Your burdock root is very
high in copper and it has a number of excellent things in, but it‟s a stomachic, it
works to soothe the stomach and works on the cleaning of the bloodstream in that
area. It is antiscorbutic and diuretic, works on the kidney and diuretic area. And
our last one is called buckthorn. This is a purgative, a diuretic and a bitter tonic.
Now the reason we have collected these herbs together is because they work on
purifying the bloodstream throughout the entire system, and this is the most
important part. The blood, being a carrier, it has to carry food into the various
organs of the body, and the bonal structure, and even into the marrow of the bone.
So it is just so important that we have a good operating bloodstream.
In using this sometimes we have to know first where the problem is. It might be in
purifying the bloodstream that it could be just a difficult condition in the bowels
that need cleaning more than anything else. So we go right back to the beginning
and start at the first. Diet and everything. But here we have maybe just boils, and
acne. That we would want to clean up in a hurry, so here we would go to either
your combinations, the group of herbs I just gave, we call red clover because it
majors in the red clover. We would use that. Generally we figure a cup three
times a day. That‟s one cup in the morning, one at noon and maybe one in the
evening. Or any way you wish to get the three cups down, but not all at once.
That‟s six days a week for six weeks.
Then we do recommend switching to another herbal tea for blood purifying for six
weeks and then come back maybe to your original red clover. For instance you use
red clover for six weeks, maybe you want to use Brigham tea, which is a wonderful
blood purifier, and then back. Or you want to use burdock root, but stay with one
type for six weeks to get the best results. If you are going to use burdock root,
Doctor Shook, one of my teachers, was telling how that a young man came to him,
loaded with boils, and he‟d had boils all his life. So he‟d used burdock root and it
did the job. Cleaned up the boils and he never had any more trouble.
Sometimes just to clean up the bloodstream, when I couldn‟t use boils, or use boils
with a blood purifier to clean them. I had to use the regular procedure because I
was in the army at this time. We just would lance, tap and drain boils, and that‟s a
job I have never liked. And there were so many boils from so many fellows in the
army that we did a lot of lancing, tapping and draining. A young fellow came in to
22
me, he had boils all over his body, but he came with his arms spread out because
he had a nest of boils under each arm, and he couldn‟t lower them. Back of his
neck looked like alligator hide because of scar tissue on top of scar tissue. And I
said “how long have you had boils?” and he said “ever since I was a little baby.”
He said “I‟ve never been free of them.” Well I lanced, tapped and drained enough
boils on him that day that I was fed up with it and I said “soldier, how‟d you like to
be through with boils for life?” “O-ho” he says, “Doc, you‟re kidding me!” And I
said “no, I‟m not.” “Alright, I‟ll do anything you tell me.” So I wrote him out a
prescription. The prescription was not to the pharmacist, it was to the mess
sergeant. We were living state-side, and he was to have nothing but fruits,
vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. No fried foods, and plenty of liquid. And you
know, three months later he had his first complete cleaning, and he‟d never, never
before in his life had been without boils on his body somewhere. And here, after
three months, he had no boils, and he was with us for a long period of time with no
reoccurrence. Alright, we did that without the herbs. Now with the herbs we‟d of
cleaned it a lot faster.
To purify the bloodstream sometimes we have to use an herb that‟s an affinitive.
Something that‟s very accurate in its work, like with arthritis. Here again we use a
lot of burdock root. When I was just coming out of the army and starting practice I
used to weed gardens in the morning. Daybreak. And made a little extra money
while I was starting my practice. And the interesting thing was that I insisted on
taking the weeds along with me. And I had gathered enough burdock root that I
was giving burdock root tea. We generally let it dry, but here I had an extremely
bad case. A man had been in a wheelchair for a number of years crippled up with
arthritis, and I made him up quarts of fresh tea every day made with burdock root.
And I had him drink it, quarts upon quarts, and I kept him on a mostly liquid diet,
but kept him on the mucusless diet. And before the year was out this man was up
walking around again, even though he‟d been in a wheelchair for years. But the
burdock root tea did this for him. A great blood purifier.
Brigham tea is one of your greats for arthritis. You‟ll find most of your Brigham
tea as a blood purifying herb, grows over mining areas, because it‟s high in copper.
In the minerals that it has in it by an analytical checkup we find that over ten
percent of the organic minerals are copper. Of the minerals that‟s in it, ten percent
is copper. Alright, the copper, the live organic copper, when it‟s in a tea form,
forms with the calcium in the body, and starts to leach it off. The inorganic
calcium deposits, like in the joints, in the muscles, and this is an excellent tea. In
case you don‟t know what Brigham tea is, it‟s also called Ephedra. This dates
clear back into China, thousands of years back, four or five thousand years. It‟s
23
also called Mormon tea. You don‟t have to be baptized to use it if you call it
Mormon tea. But your Brigham tea is one the common names. It‟s also called
desert herb. But this is one of the fine herbs for arthritis.
We now come to a point where we have blood poisoning. The blood is in a bad
way but it‟s in a specific area. And this blood poisoning can be a killer. We had a
case come to us in Olympia, Washington. The man had his arm all swollen up
with a red streak from under the armpit down into his hand, with a knob under his
armpit about the size of a baseball. His arm was swollen about twice its size. I
said “How come you came to me? Why didn‟t you go to your regular family
doctor?”
He said “I have a friend who had this same problem, and he only has one arm now,
and so I thought I‟d try something else, want to try your program.”
I says “Alright.” What had happened was he had cut his hand with a chisel a few
days before. Not being able to take time off he bound it up right tight with a dirty
old rag and went on work. He got infection in it and now he had blood poisoning.
I took him out onto the front lawn and showed him some plantain, which is a very
very common herb. It‟s all over the world. It‟s in nearly everybody‟s lawn, or
grows wild. Plantain, plantagious herb.
I said “have you much of this in your yard?”
He said “Oh, we‟ve been digging it up all the time, can‟t get rid of it,” and I said
“wonderful, I‟m glad you have plenty of it left.” And I told him how to take it,
have his wife go out and take some plantain leaves, chop them up, bruise them, and
put right over the wound where it was cut. Put it directly over it and keep the
moist cloth over it. And I said “if it starts to dry out put new leaves over it, but
don‟t pull the old ones off, just put additional leaves on top of it. And keep it
stacked up, but keep it moist.” He came back in about three days, on his way to
work, to pay his office call, and his hand was completely healing, just a very very
minor scar left, and that left completely without even a scar. This is blood
poisoning. We‟ve had so many, many cases of it, but that bloodstream, when it is
in an area that is isolated like this, we need something of this type: plantain, lilac
leaves, which you find in no herb book, but it works the same as your plantain.
There are many, many other of these herbs that are good. But for a bee sting,
hornet, for mad dog bite, snake bite, your plantain is the thing that has saved many,
many people. You bruise it up, make a tea of it as well, but bruise it up, put it right
over the wound, and drink the tea. If you get right to work at it, you can pull the
24
poisons out so rapidly. We had a case of a little boy that had a bee sting. He‟d
passed out with it, his arm had swollen up and the bee sting was right on top of his
hand. The plantain wasn‟t out, but I had some plantain ointment. I put two in my
bag when I left on a house call. And I took a spatula, and took about the amount
that would fit on a silver dollar, if you know what a dollar is. They aren‟t around
much anymore. I put it right over top of the bee sting, the wound, and put gauze
over it and wrapped it up lightly, and that‟s all there was to it. That afternoon he
was out playing, but they told me that within a matter of less than a half hour the
pain was all gone and the swelling was starting to go down. And it finally just left
in a hurry, and that night he was playing with no problems at all.
To have the good herbs that the Lord has given us, and have them in our own
backyard, and have them where we can get to them in case of emergency, is so
important. As we go along on these tapes we hope you get turned on so that you
do a lot of research, and learn which herbs in your own yard are so important.
We‟ve got, with the blood, now the key to being clear of all disease when we once
get the bloodstream clean with no bad bowel feeding into it. Over the years, for
over thirty years we have taught that cancer is not a localized, isolated condition
that can be cut off, any more than a boil is. If I had told that soldier “well, I‟ve
lanced, tapped and drained your boils. You‟ll never have them anymore because
I‟ve got rid of them.” He would laugh of me, think I was stupid, because he knows
he‟s had boils all his life. So a cancer breaks out, a cancer breaks out somewhere
that has injury or damage or maybe inside the body where we‟ve had some
accepted minerals and the side effect and after effect have given us our big
problem. So the cancer breaks out but the cancer is in the bloodstream. But it has
now accumulated like a boil, or like an ulcer, in a specific area, and has drained the
poisons into this area, and so we cut it out, and we say “well, the cancer‟s all
gone.” That is as ridiculous as saying the boils are all gone when we‟ve cut the boil
away. So this is why that your cancer will break out in another place later on, and
then another place, and finally death comes in. Because we‟ve got to clean the
bloodstream. Maybe you can understand now why I‟m talking about a good, clean
river of life. The bloodstream.
Let‟s take time now for some questions, if we may.
Question: When we alter the blood, or use these alterative herbs, will that now, like
the Rh factor, these conditions of the blood, that possibly can change that
condition. Is that right?
25
That‟s an excellent question, because we have so many problems with the Rh, you
know. We had a perfect example of this in Brigham City. A lady came to our
lectures there. She had had three children, and each of them with an Rh problem,
and had to have the blood drained out of them and other people‟s blood pumped
into them. She had a very severe condition of the Rh problem, and she had also
had open-heart surgery. And so the doctor said “don‟t get pregnant. It will kill
both you and the baby.” Well, women are wonderful people, they ache for having
another baby in their arms as she did, and she wanted to have another baby. And
so she came to see if there was anything we can do. She said she‟d heard about
those that had been helped on our program. So we put her on the blood purifying
routine. Gave her, in addition, lots of red raspberry leaf tea to drink, and I‟d
forgotten all about the case, but we had her go on a Mucusless diet, use distilled
water, follow right through. I was speaking in Pocatello, Idaho, a couple of years
later, and a woman walked up to the podium and had the cutest little baby in her
arm and said “I wanted to show you the baby we had.” It was this lady again. And
she said “this one did not have the blood drained out of it.” And she said “my Rh
factor is ok.” And she said “even with open heart surgery we had the baby. And
well here was a good, solid example, and we‟ve had many of them. Many of these.
So there is the key, the bloodstream.
Question: Would you elaborate just a little on what happens to the body when you
change the program? If like six weeks on one type of blood purifier and then
alternate to another one?
The change is as good as the rest, for some reason or another. It‟s like, you may
like spinach, but if you had spinach every day for a long, long period of time you
wouldn‟t like spinach any longer. Well, from the herbal formula that you‟re using
as a blood purifier, the body‟s going to harvest a lot of good out of it. Now we‟ll
switch over to another one. And it‟s still a blood purifier, but it will have materials
in it that are not in the first one maybe. And so we switch back and forth and we
find that we do get faster results this way, just as we do by not giving the formulas
seven days a week. I learned a lot from my patients, you know. I have always said
that four percent of what I know comes from the classroom; ninety-six percent
comes from patients, from students, and the help of the Lord guiding us along.
Well here we had been using the herbal formulas seven days a week, year in and
year out, and then all of a sudden I realized the body needed a day of rest, because
it said so in the scriptures. So I thought well, why not on the healing routine too.
Just keep that same day – if it‟s going to be Wednesday for your day of rest, have it
every Wednesday. If it‟s going to be Sunday, have it every Sunday. And I found
that our patients got healed faster by going on a six day routine instead of a seven.
26
And so we try to keep things to the six. But your blood purifying teas really do
better if you alter them from time to time, for this reason.
Question: Now in my own experience we used carrot juice, a lot of carrot and
celery juice, and then alternated to grape juice along with the herbs in capsule
form, and in four months time, whereas they had told my father that you know just
get ready to die because you‟re eighty after all and you‟ve lived a long life and so
you have cancer and you can‟t operate or there‟s no hope. So we just used the
carrot juice with a lot of celery in it and the herbs along with it, and then we‟d
change and use grape juice. Had to be pure. But those are also good herbs, aren‟t
they?
Doctor Christopher: Blood purifiers – they are the greatest. Well, what happened
to your…
Question: Well, in four months time they put him through the same series of tests
and could not then find any cancer cells. And they didn‟t believe it was the same
man, because two different doctors took the tests. They still don‟t believe it, but
it‟s true.
I like that. It‟s very refreshing. You know as far as juices are concerned, NW
Walker is the man who really introduced juice therapy in America. And he
believes in live food. And so NW Walker today is past 110, and as vigorous as any
young fellow I‟ve ever seen. And I talked to him not long ago. He‟s a jewel, and
he does his own gardening, right, but the juices, actually, are the bloodstream of
the fruit or the vegetable. This is what it is. You‟re getting your blood transfusion
from the fruit or the vegetable. And there is the key. But we do recommend, like
in that little booklet The Incurables of staying with one type of juice for a period of
days, and then switching to another type. Not mixing them all during the day. Of
course with your vegetable juices that‟s a different story. You can mix your celery
with your carrot and put a little beet with it and things like this. This is alright.
But stay with your vegetable juices for so many days. Then go to your fruit juices.
Question: Right, that‟s what we did. It was like a six week period of time.
That‟s it. Yes.
Question: Dr Christopher, I have heard and observed in a small way myself a
turning in the interest and the openness of the medical profession. Many good
friends of mine in the medical profession are coming up with a stronger interest in
27
the natural ways now. Is this a general condition? Can you confirm this
observation as being, you know…
Doctor Christopher: Definitely so. When we started in with the teaching of herbs
and the use of them, well over thirty-five years ago, we were in definitely a
minority. I was the witch-doctor and the oddball. I was it. And over the years we
have seen such amazing changes. But in the last five years there have been more
new books written on the holistic program than have been written in the last
hundred years. In the last five years many of those who did ridicule us in the past
have climbed on the bandwagon and they are good authors – though they haven‟t
practiced it they have got some best-sellers, because they see that the pendulum is
swinging our way. And it definitely is swinging our way, because our textbook
The School of Natural Healing is now in hundreds of doctors‟, medical doctors‟,
offices, and I have had as high as five and six, and sometimes more, medical
doctors, as well as naturopaths and chiropractors in my lecture groups. And it has
been interesting to watch this, because they are coming into the fact that there is a
principle of working on the cause, not just working on the effect. And that is our
whole secret and our whole principle. As naturopathic physicians it used to be that
we believed this way, but even some of ours, of the naturopathic group, pulled
away from it and worked more on the effect, and became more along the new
trend. The trend that we are on dates back to Adam, and a few worlds before that.
This particular program once again is just doing everything that‟s good and
nothing that‟s damaging to the human body. I‟m so thrilled to see open-minded
doctors coming our way from the orthodox field, and we have many of them now
that believe as we do. And they are becoming a great aid, because they are well
educated and they are people that can be so beneficial to us. Doctor Kirchner is a
very good example. An MD who came our way. He actually introduced comfrey
to a lot of people who wouldn‟t of even of said the word unless they were
introduced properly. Well, they were introduced by an MD. And with many of
them that are doing these things now, and I‟m grateful.
Question: Dr Christopher, speaking of the blood purifiers, and the fact that we
have, you have mentioned grape juice, do you find that there would be any
difficulty in a small child or an infant handling grape juice in case of emergency, in
case the mother were not able to nurse that child. Would there be something better
than grape juice?
Doctor Christopher: Grape juice is one of the finest foods there is, actually, but a
person must understand how to use it, because it must be chewed, as all juices
should. “Chewed” sounds very crude and ridiculous, but it is swishing it in the
28
mouth so the saliva will mix with it. We‟ve had cases with hyperglycemia, severe,
with diabetes, severe, who have come to us and say “on your three day cleanse
we‟re afraid to try it, because just to drink of juice will upset us, will throw us into
problems.” And I promised them, if you will chew that juice. And we have never
had any problems with the people who will take the juice and chew it. This goes
back to the old adage of “drink your solids and chew your liquids.” If you‟ll chew
your solids thoroughly enough, masticate them and mix enough saliva with it,
because the good Lord gives us a pint and a half of saliva for each meal, and if we
mix that with the food then it will be a liquid and we‟ll drink our solids. And
we‟ll, all of our juices we‟ll chew, or swish in our mouth. And that will give us
better assimilation of our foods.
Question: Will you explain why you suggest not diluting juices with water before
drinking them?
Doctor Christopher: You‟re diluting it with your saliva, and there‟s the key. You
can, if you wish, dilute it with distilled water, but you‟re only getting half the
potency.
Question: If it seems too sweet.
Doctor Christopher: If it seems too sweet, why, yes, you can dilute it. But it‟s best
to drink it straight. We have one thing about blood poisoning that‟s interesting.
As we sit and write sometimes we‟ll use a lead pencil, and the lead pencil has on
the end of it an eraser. If we make a mistake we can erase the mistake that we‟ve
made. As we walk though the countryside we sometimes will run into stinging
nettle, into poison oak, poison ivy, and when we do the good Lord has given us an
eraser for that mistake. All we have to do is stop right there, where we‟ve been hit
with one of these poisons, and look around. And within view – and it never fails –
within view there will be plantain, broad or narrow leaf, there will be hound‟s
tongue, there will be mullein. If you‟re where there is some comfrey. Any one of
these. Just take the leaf and rub it over the area and it neutralizes it right now and
erases the problem.
Question: I wish I had known that! I was surprised to find that. I know that I‟ve
heard you said this in the past. And so as we were – I work with scout groups –
and as we were hiking, of course the boys will do what they want to do, a lot of
times whether what you tell them or not. And got into stinging nettle and it was
uncomfortable. And there was mullein right there, and there was hound‟s tongue
right there.
29
Dr. Christopher: Did you use it?
Question: But I didn‟t know hound‟s tongue would work that way, but I knew
mullein would and I used it, and he couldn‟t believe it. He thought well he just
didn‟t get stung very bad after all.
Doctor Christopher: Laughing… Always an excuse.
Question: Dr. Christopher, are there any identifying characteristics of hound‟s
tongue for the average person to recognize?
Dr. Christopher: Well, the best thing to do is. Well we have a number of cards
that have been made up, Nature’s Medicine Chest, and that is one of the finest
ones. You‟ve got the actual photographs and pictures in color, and I‟ve never seen
anything quite the equal. And I would get that, or if you can‟t, get a copy of The
Herbalist by Meyer. There are a few books. But sometimes we have to find a
book that is -- let me put it this way: Potter‟s Topical Cyclopedia – this is what I‟m
trying to put over – has some herbs, for instance like in England your malva there
is a different shaped leaf than it is here, and people get confused. So here‟s where
you‟ve got to understand that in different areas of the country sometimes there‟s a
little difference. But in The Medicine Chest they‟ll give you enough explanation
there.

Lecture No. 3 Liver – Lungs – Brain
We‟re going to talk about the largest gland in the body now. That‟s called the
liver. The liver generally goes three to three and a half pounds in an average sized
individual. At times, though, it can get up to as high as seven pounds, and when it
does that isn‟t a very good sign. Or it can atrophy down to a very, very small size.
But one thing about the liver, it‟s very flexible in being able to adjust itself. If you
treat it right it will come back to its normal size, and stay there. The reason we‟re
interested in the liver, because it works right in with the bowel and bloodstream
routine, is that the liver is the cesspool of the body. It neutralizes. It takes the
poisons from the body and transfers them into a bile solution which acts as a
laxative. Poisons from any of your other glands are drawn into the liver just like a
magnet would pull metals. It draws from the pituitary, the pineal, from the thyroid,
the reproductive organs, the spleen, and so forth. If the lymph system is kept clean
and the bile is flowing properly it means the liver is working good. The liver
makes the bile, then the bile is transferred on over into the gallbladder for
concentration, and here is where it sometimes causes our problems and we have
gallbladder problems.
The principle of keeping the liver clean is that any poisons that come into the body,
and you have a good clean lymph system, the poisons will travel directly into the
liver and be neutralized. There it‟ll save your life, so I think that should be reason
enough to even think about the liver and study it a little. We have sometimes a
very severe liver condition, wherein we have to work from both the inside and the
outside to assist it. On the outside we use a castor oil fomentation. Now, to do this
we dip a flannel cloth into castor oil, sponge it out so it isn‟t too drippy and put it
over the liver, which is of course the right side rib cage area, and cover that entire
area with the castor oil. Put a hot water bottle over it after you put some toweling
to keep it from squishing too, too much. And then you leave it on as long as you
can. If it‟s severe sometimes it is good after thirty minutes to take it off and put a
cold pack on. Cold water, just as it comes, as cold as you can from the tap. Leave
it on for five minutes, and then go back to the hot oil again, and rotate. We never
take the castor oil internally because this is not good for the body. But it will
absorb through the skin, and really cause a laxative if it is massaged on the outside
of the skin. We‟ve seen cases where the individual has used no oils inside the
body, and yet through castor oil massage, the next day there has been little puddles
of oil in the toilet bowl. It‟s gone right through the skin into the bloodstream, from
the bloodstream into the bowels and out.
31
We thought we were rather exclusive on this castor oil fomentation, thought we
were about the only ones that knew about using it. Then I found out that it had
been used extensively, and one of the oldest ones I found that had recommended it
was our Brigham Young. At that time they didn‟t have hot water bottles and he
said “if you have the belly ache, put castor oil cloths on the stomach and cover it
with hot rocks.” [laughing] That was the substitute for your hot water bottles.
We work from the inside now to clean that liver out. And here we use a
combination of barberry and other herbs, but just three parts of barberry and one
part of wild yam. Or two parts of sweet fennel will start that liver working up
really good. When the liver gets into a severe enough condition, we have what‟s
called jaundice, or hepatitis. Hepatitis is the contagious type of jaundice. And this
can be a very frightening thing. We were called in on a house call. A young lady
had been brought back from the hospital. They figured she only had a few days to
live, and was in very heavy pain. This was early one morning, two or three o‟clock
in the morning, and we started this young lady on the same procedure I‟ve just
given: having her take orally a half a cup of the tea, made with the barberry, which
is Berberis vulgaris, three parts, and we used one part of wild yam, and had her
take a half a cup every hour or so during the day, used the castor oil fomentations,
and kept her on juices. And had her major on carrot juice. She was already quite
yellow, and the whites of her eyes were yellow, when she‟d come from the
hospital. Being contagious they said for nobody to touch any of her, or use any of
her dinnerware, or have anything to do with any of her bedding or anything else,
until it had all been sterilized. We forgot the case and they followed on through
with it, but in a few days we found out that she wasn‟t dead; she was alive and up
and at it. I saw this young lady less than a week ago. This has been, oh, six, eight
years ago I guess, but I saw her within the last week and she‟s full of life, pep and
energy.
One amazing thing that happens is that when the bile starts to clear itself it will oft
times make the skin go yellow. Many people say “oh, too much carrots, that‟s
carotene coming out.” I‟ve seen jaundiced individuals down on skid row, in New
York and other cities, yellow as saffron, and if you‟d have asked them if they had
just finish some carrot juice they‟d laugh at you, because they use a different type
of a bottle entirely. They don‟t even know what a carrot looks like anymore. It is
not carotene that comes through; it is bile. This is because that bile starts to free
itself so rapidly that the bowels, the kidneys, the lungs and the skin, can‟t handle it
fast enough. So it takes the skin as the fastest way out, and the bile comes through
the skin causing a yellow condition.
32
This liver, when it is kept in a good condition, and your lymph system is kept
clean, you could take poisons accidentally into the body and they will head straight
for the liver for neutralization. But when the lymph system is all fouled up then
we‟re in trouble. The lymph system works with the liver so closely that we should
work on both of them at the same time, and here we have in the lymph system a
problem that I think is easiest to explain how it works – if a person is bit by a
snake, say on the wrist, the poisons will travel straight up that lymph system and
head for the liver. But, being a poison as it is it acts like a broom, a good cleanser,
and it starts cutting all the mucus and waste materials loose. And first thing we
know we have a big lump under the arm. The red streak goes up and a lump under
the arm. Well, that is an accumulation of filth that has been pushed up that far.
And this is a damming point. Now it‟s blocked, and where is the poison going?
It‟s not going to lie idle. It heads on out into the veins, goes into the heart and kills
you. But if it can go directly to the liver then you‟re promised in the bible that
poisonous snakes or taking poisonous draughts into the body, you can be saved,
And this is how you can be saved. So clean out the liver and keep it clean.
Number one of course by good foods and distilled water. We‟re going to keep
harping on that all the way through until you jump up and down on the bed in the
middle of the night and say “am I taking enough good water and good enough
food” well then maybe we‟ve won.
We‟ve got to clean this lymph system. An interesting thing. There is a plant, one
of God‟s good herbs, called the mullein. And the mullein plus -- that‟s three parts
mullein plus one part lobelia, is a perfect glandular food. And it works on the
lymph glands. It works on most all glands very effectively and very rapidly. An
example: supposing the glands in the neck are swollen. The lymph glands are sore
and it‟s almost impossible to swallow. On retiring at night, as an example again,
you could take a fomentation which is soaking flannel into tea made of the three
parts mullein, one part lobelia, sponging it out and wrap it around the throat.
Cover this with oiled silk, with plastic, something of this type – it‟s not covering a
very big area so plastic would be alright. And then put some toweling around it
and go to sleep. Generally by morning the swelling is gone. It clears so rapidly.
This for other glands, swollen testicles or testicles that haven‟t dropped, this
fomentation used six nights a week over a period of time will give tremendous
results. In addition, drink the tea. A cup morning and night or more. If you have
the mullein and lobelia in capsules, take two or three of those three or more times a
day, and drink it with plenty of liquid.
This lymph system being plugged up can make plenty of sickness that is not
enviable. As an example the swollen breast, breastitis. This same formula, again,
33
will do the job. By putting the fomentation over the breast, we have seen in one
night‟s time the red streaks leave the breast, and though it was swollen three times
the size of the other breast, down to normal by morning. And in this particular
case the baby was back to breast nursing again, that‟s in one night‟s time, which is
very fast for mastitis. But the lord‟s herbs works like they should.
We‟ve got other instances of using the mullein that shows how well it works. Like
use this example: while practicing in Orem, Utah, a nurse from Provo called. And
she said “I have a little boy ten years old who has swollen glands on the back of his
neck, and they‟ve been getting bigger day by day, and now he‟s passing out. He‟s
blacking out. What can I do?” I said “use three parts mullein, one part lobelia, put
the fomentation on right now and get at it.” And being a learned woman and a
registered nurse she said “well, which way will it go? Will it go inside or come out
to the outside as an ulceration and open up?” I said “I don‟t know how it will go,
but it‟s got lobelia in it, and the lobelia acts as a thinking plant, and it‟ll know
which way to go.” Well, she said “I‟ll try it anyhow.” Of course this is ridiculous
in the orthodox schools, such a stupid thing to say. Just about a half hour after
she‟d called I had a long distance call from Moses Lake, Washington. Woman
said “I have a boy about ten years old. He has a swollen gland on the back of his
neck.”
Now over years of practice the Lord has given us these examples, many, many
times, so that we could see how they work.
And she said “he passed out now, and I‟m scared. I‟m afraid he‟s going to die.”
And so I told her “three parts mullein and one part lobelia.” She said “how will it
work? Will it go inside, the poisons, or go to the outside?
I said “it‟s got lobelia in it and the lobelia will know which way to go. I wouldn‟t
know,” and she said “ok, if that‟s what you say.” See, she walked by faith. She
wasn‟t so intelligent that she could doubt. But couple days later, the lady, the
registered nurse from Provo called me. She said “oh, I‟m so happy about that
formula. I‟ll never lose that. It‟s great!” And I said “well, what happened?” Well
she said “it just took all the pain away within just a very short time, and the
swelling went down and down and by night he was playing around with no more
problems. It just dispersed, went into the lymph system, into the liver and out
through the bowels.” She knew her program, and she said “oh, I‟m so thrilled,
because he came out of it so fast!” Well, I was happy to hear this.
34
This was on about a Thursday she called and Monday I flew into Seattle on a series
of lectures, and there were three or four cars came caravan across from Moses
Lake, which is on the east side of Washington. And they came over to Seattle on
the west side for the lecture series. And in „em was a little boy, ten years old. It
was the boy this woman had called about. And he was a weak little chap, where
the nurse‟s boy was a husky one. But the mother said “I want you to look at him.”
She said “it saved his life, because he wouldn‟t have lived to morning; I know
this.”
But she said “how does he look?”
I said “Fine. Well, what happened?”
She said “well, the pain left in a very short time, but the swelling got bigger and
bigger, and finally it got so big that it popped open, and nearly a cup of pus ran out.
And the next two or three days two-thirds of another cup.” Well now this boy was
so weak, such a delicate little chap, if it had gone inside his system it would have
killed him. But the lobelia, a thinking herb, and as ridiculous as it sounds it knew
far more than I‟d ever know. It knew which way it was to go, in both cases.
So this is an extremely valuable thing for the lymph system, and it would be good
to take the three parts mullein, one part lobelia, quite frequently. Have it as a tea.
Drink it, take the tablets or capsules, and with plenty of liquid use them, and keep
that system clean. The liver good and flushed out. Use plenty of carrot juice.
Your hands get yellow on the inside, the whites of your eyes get yellow, just say
“glory be! I‟m healing!” That means that the bile is starting to break loose, and this
is the best evidence that you could ever get. Don‟t let it frighten you. And don‟t
let your good neighbors and friends frighten you either, because they‟ll warn you
against using it – we‟ve had this happen so many times.
But to keep that liver now in a perfect condition, this is an area that must be fed
properly, and that‟s with the proper Mucusless diet and plenty of liquid. It is
amazing how much disease can settle in the liver, and when the liver starts to go, it
is a very painful and serious condition that you‟re suffering under.
We have, I mentioned barberry, but if you can‟t get barberry, the Oregon grape or
the Rocky Mountain grape, the root of this is of the same family, they‟re both
Vulgaris family, and they‟ll do the same job. We have our regular formula that we
have used for a long time. Consists of the Oregon grape root or the barberry, and
that is generally three parts. Now this is the one that keeps the bile flowing. And
35
we have wild yam. And the wild yam disperses the gas as the bile goes in and stirs
it up in the bowel area. And the fennel seed that is in it is an anti-colic herb, and it
works to keep you from having a colic system upset. Catnip is an anti-spasmodic,
and a soothing herb, and a relaxing herb, and it also has an anti-colic ability. You
know, for babies that have colic we give them catnip and fennel, give it to them in
a tincture or a tea, and it gives them very fast relief. We have ginger, which ginger
has the power to stop pain, and it also will lead the herbs as a lead herb down into
the lower cavity. And we add another herb with this combination which is called
peppermint. Peppermint is a stimulant. It isn‟t a strong and powerful a one as
cayenne but peppermint is a terrific stimulant that just makes every cell sit up and
take notice, and stimulates the whole tissue system. So this works as a companion.
And when you put those herbs together – it‟s three parts of the Oregon grape and
one part of each the others I have mentioned – but this will make you feel like
you‟re living again.
We‟re going now to go into another organ, series of organs, which are called the
lungs. A person who doesn‟t have panic and fear, and normal weight, could go as
high as a hundred to a hundred and ten days without food. It‟s generally fear and
panic people die of, not starvation. A person can go fifteen or sixteen days without
water if they have a cool head and think right. But you can‟t go very long without
breathing. This is the key, so you can see how important those lungs are. The
lungs, the breath of life. This is the area that we‟ve got to keep flowing and
flowing smoothly, because with good deep breathing this will offset a lot of
malfunction in the body. Re-oxygenation, a shallow breather is a sickly person.
And this we see so often today because we have forgotten how to breathe properly.
From the time the doctor spats you on the little buttocks and you take your first
gasp of terrestrial air into your little body until you‟re ready to die, you don‟t even
stop to think about breathing, because you do it automatically. It comes in and
goes out and comes in and goes out and that‟s it. But if we could do it so we could
breathe deeply, then we could be healthier.
We sometimes have interesting things happen to us that make us breathe deeply. I
was a very, very shallow breather and sunken-chested as I grew up. And when I
was in my early thirties, which you‟d think the body was completely matured, I
was having consumption problems. The years before I‟d breathed a lot of dust in a
saw mill, planning mill area, and was continuing to breathing in dry dust from the
cabinet shop. And my lungs were so bad it hurt to even breathe, and I was doing
very shallow breathing. And I felt that I was in a serious condition, but I didn‟t
know what to do about it. One night I had a dream, and in this dream a woman
came to me. An ugly old lady, and she said “you‟re supposed to breathe deep,
36
deep, deep” and she opened her mouth and took in great big deep breaths, and she
had the ugliest teeth I‟ve – it was very vivid. But she said “you‟ll keep alive if you
learn to breathe deep.” Well, I knew it was for me and the next morning I, in a
clumsy way, started to try to do some deep breathing with the mouth open and
everything else. Any old way I could get breath into me. I‟d been doing this for
about ten days. I was walking up the street in Salt Lake and Nils Lundwall, an
author, came across to me on the sidewalk and he said to me “Ray, I haven‟t seen
you for years! I was thinking about you this morning, and I just had a feeling that
maybe I might run into you. And I dropped a little book in my briefcase and I
thought if I get to see Ray I‟m going to give it to him.” And he handed me a book
and this little booklet was about breathing. And I said “well, thanks so much!”
And so I read it, and it was just a crude little book, not a lot to it, but it told me to
keep my mouth shut and breathe through my nose. This was fine, and I tried this
for a couple, three weeks, and then I ran across a book that was handed me, The
Science of Breath by Yogi Ramacharaka. And this particular book, you can get it
at most of your bookstores, The Science of Breath. Just tell them it‟s by Yogi and
they‟ll know who he is. I don‟t know how to spell Ramacharaka right now. But
this is the next book I took, and it was absolutely the most amazing thing. He
explained the lungs and how the air worked in it and how it re-oxygenated the
body and brought iron into the whole system by working with the veins. And then
I started to do some deep breathing. Well now when I‟d started my breathing my
breathing was so shallow that I had less than three-quarters of an inch breathing. It
was just hard to just even just get my chest out.
Time went along and it was time for me to go into the army. Uncle Sam said it
was anyhow. And so all this time I‟d practiced my deep breathing. Sergeant
measured my chest measurement, when I inhaled, and then exhaled, and he looked
at me and he had a higher officer come up, and then another higher officer, and
finally a major or someone came up to me and said “would you switch from the
army and join the submarine crew?” And I said “Why?” Well he said “you‟re to be
in the medics in the army but we need you in the submarine crew because you have
a five and a half inch chest expansion, and we don‟t run into these very often.”
And so, even in my thirties I had changed my chest expansion to be able to handle
this, and my health had improved. So these lungs are extremely important even
though they are just lying in there ignored. It would pay to do something about it.
We sometimes have problems of the lungs getting filled with mucus. And we have
colds, flu and pneumonia. We have a little booklet called The Cures for the
Common Cold. I‟ll have to get the name of that. I even forget my own book
names. But the common cold and what to do for it. The Cold Sheet Treatment.
37
The Cold Sheet Treatment. Yes. And it tells a lot about this. But if we will try
first with the deep breathing, to be sure we‟re not standing back of an automobile
that‟s pouring out gas, I‟m using a horrible example now but I‟m using an extreme.
Let‟s get into the cleanest air we can get, to do our breathing. And then we want to
keep away from factory contaminations, all the foul air that we have got, and get in
a good place, and then do our deep breathing.
Many times we have deep problems as asthma. And asthma is becoming one of
our top killers. Here again we need sometimes an emergency, which emergency
would be your herbal aids again. One of the herbal aid combinations that we use is
the use of lobelia. We always use the tincture of lobelia. Many people use the tea.
But we use the tincture of lobelia because on house calls it‟s always been easy to
carry and easy to use right now. But we have cases where they expect them to be
dead by morning, and yet they‟re alive and live for years after. And this is how it
is done. We first give a good stimulant. We like to give a cup of peppermint tea.
We could give cayenne, but that would scare most of them away in the first place
because they‟re not used to it. And they just can‟t take it down fast enough, but the
peppermint tea they can sip a little bit at a time. And then, ten minutes after
they‟ve had the tea down, a teaspoon full of tincture of lobelia. Wait ten minutes,
and then the second teaspoon full of tincture of lobelia. Wait another ten minutes
and then the third.
We have never, in our own practice, have ever used over three teaspoons full to get
the reaction moving. And the reason is, of course, because we‟ve always been
called out on emergency cases. And this is where it always works best is when the
person is at the crisis. And it‟s the crisis for dying, they figure, and with the right
person to help and the herbs the good Lord has given us it can be the healing crisis
if we work it right. And so in this case we sit and talk a few minutes and then the
individual starts to throw up. It being an emetic, which lobelia is, very powerfully
so an emetic. And the individual throw and heave and as they throw up they‟ll
bring everything up they‟ve eaten for the last day and in addition it will start
cutting the Mucus loose and the pus from the lungs and the bronchials. We have
seen in one time of throwing up over a half cup of heavy, from yellows into the
greens and black, Mucus and filth come out of those lungs. And they go home and
go to sleep and in many cases never have a reoccurrence. It is a one time case.
We had one case that had it for twenty-six years and had regular office calls and
house calls twice a week average straight on through for over twenty years. And
we were called in because the doctor wasn‟t available at that time. Why, they
brought the man into our office at two o‟clock in the morning. We were living
38
right back of the office in our quarters there. And that man, though he had set up
in the chair for twenty years and had never been in a bed for the twenty years, he
came right out of it that night and never had another attack. Went home and slept
in a bed that night and has slept in it ever since. Last time I‟d heard, which had
been twenty years, he had never had another attack. But their office call was three
dollars at two o‟clock in the morning and we threw the herbs in for good measure.
So after all he had spent in twenty-six years, twenty concentrated years of
doctoring, it was quite a relief to them.
Sometimes we need just a little bit of extra help when we have the congestion in
that lung that won‟t relieve itself. Comfrey tea or comfrey green drink. The
comfrey tea, if we take a cup of that two or three times a day. It is one of the
greatest. Dr. Kirchner, I believe, was the one that wrote – I think he was the one –
about a man who just chewed some comfrey leaves, and over a period of time got
rid of his asthmatic condition.
We have a lung food formula with herbs, that has helped many, many people who
have been bothered by emphysema, with bronchitis, with TB, many, many
tuberculosis, many types of lung congestions. And let me tell you a little bit about
this one. And this is what it consists of. The marshmallow, which is your Althea
officinalis, the marshmallow root – and each of these are one part – and one part of
mullein, one part of comfrey, one part of lobelia, and one part of chickweed. Now
all of these herbs work so smoothly together, because they work as demulcents and
emollients and they expel the mucus and break it loose. They rebuild the lungs and
give them new life, and the bronchials. They, if it‟s used over a period of time you
will have lungs that will be so different from what you originally had, because all
we‟re doing is feeding again. But feeding and deep breathing, plenty of water and
a good diet, and your lungs can be brought back from close to death to good,
healthy existence.
We‟ve got over the years a record of seeing many, many people helped using the
old-fashioned remedies. Now this particular remedy here which I‟ve just given
you goes back for many years. We‟ve used it for nearly thirty ourselves and we‟ve
seen a lot of people happier by the use of it.
So we‟ve now got some lungs that are working right, and to help get our energy
into the upper lung area sometimes it pays to do some shoulder stands, or learn to
use the slant board. We recommend shoulder stands in preference to head stands,
because if you‟re not used to head stands oft times the upper cervicals are not too
strong, and you can twist or crack them. But with the shoulder stand you have
39
padding, and something that the head can hang down free, and something holding
up each shoulder, and your feet up in the air. And we don‟t advise you to stay
there for more than three or four hours the first day. [laughing] I‟m being
ridiculous again, because I‟m giving you an extreme. We generally say count to
ten, and some people count to ten by fives and get right down, because you know
it‟s an odd thing: we stand on our feet or lie down, but we never let the head get a
good flow of blood into it. And when we get into that upper attic and a good flow
comes through, the head aches and we know it‟s going to split wide open. It really
won‟t, but it feels like it‟s going to. So do it a little easy to start and build up
gradually. Everybody needs to get some blood up into the upper part of the body
because the brain needs it, the whole system needs it. And while we‟re getting the
blood up into the upper lobes of the lungs, remember the lungs have those upper
lobes where we generally get our pneumonia, because we do such shallow
breathing. So let‟s do it for that reason but at the same time help the brain. And
get the blood going up into that area.
The brain sometimes slows down, and we have a person that gets a little senile.
When they get senile and we have to lead them around, we think that it‟s just
ridiculous, but maybe we‟re getting that way ourselves. What actually happens is,
the processed foods that we have been eating, the hard waters, many grains hard
that we‟ve been drinking, and the beverages that aren‟t fit to throw out into the
gutter, that we oft times we spend a lot of money on, are making that brain load up
with solid materials. In cases of severe senility people after they have died have
taken an autopsy and opened the skull up, the top of the skull off, and there is a
perfect brain. But it is in stone. That brain has turned into solid stone. And that‟s
what we‟re trying to reverse right now, is to get the circulation up in there, because
the brain area doesn‟t get enough circulation.
If you want to kind of speed it up a little bit there is a good remedy for people who
start thinking slow. They feel maybe a little senile condition is coming on. You
know, it‟s odd, but as I tell about this formula I notice that everybody gets their
pencils, gets their pen and paper at work. Well, we use a formula of the following:
three parts of periwinkle herb, three parts of holy thistle, also called blessed thistle,
three parts lily of the valley root, and one part lobelia. Use this while on the three
day cleanse and the mucusless diet, but on the three day cleanse, use this a half a
cup three times a day and you will find that results will come in quite rapidly.
We‟ve used this on students who were having failing grades in college. We‟ve had
a number of them come to us and we put them on the mucusless diet, have them go
on the three day cleanse, and use some of this tea, and you know within a matter of
40
a couple of months their grades have stepped back up again and they feel so happy
they‟re back in action once more.
The brain is rather an important part of the body. We feel that we take it for
granted also, and as you know we use a very little of that brain, such a very small
part of it. But by using the program I‟ve just given you here and doing a little
work on the slant board, maybe some shoulder stands, and keeping you on the
proper diet, with plenty of water to flush out those inorganic minerals that have
been accepted but not assimilated – if we will do this you‟ll find that that brain will
be very, very happy. And if we follow these things, even hidden treasures of
knowledge will come to us. And those hidden treasures can give us the key for
some of the things we‟ll be needing in the next few years.
Let‟s take a little time now for questions.
Question: In addition to this program you‟ve given us for lung problems like
emphysema, would there be anything additional, like fomentations. Would this be
helpful?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, external work is always good. Like in our book the
incurables, the three oil massage is excellent, especially upon the upper part of the
body where the lung area is, and that massage. We go into the two days of castor
oil, two days of olive oil, two days of wheat germ oil and a day of rest, and keep
repeating this. Now we have for a severe lung condition, if we would use the
formula called the bone, flesh and cartilage, also called the comfrey fomentation.
It has ten or twelve herbs in it. This also will work very rapidly as a fomentation.
We‟ll go into that more a little later.
Question: Doctor Christopher, somebody has called that comfrey, the powdered
comfrey, I saw a label on the bottle, it said “people putty.”
Doctor Christopher: “People putty!” [laughing] Hey, that‟s alright. You can make
yourself in any shape.
Question: I wanted to ask, now, to get your lymph system really, really clean, I
mean, how do you do that? I‟ve been working on mine for a long time. You try
lots of different things but would it be feasible to just take these cleanses over and
over and over?
41
Doctor Christopher: Oh, yes, you know, the three day cleanse is just a part of
living. That‟s a tune-up, that‟s your valve tune-up, you know. And it pays to have
that car tuned up once in a while or it starts whacking and hacking. So we say
every month or two have the three day cleanse. But, remember the water. The
water‟s so important because it does miracles. It‟s not nutritional but it sure is a
good flusher-upper. It‟s excellent.
Question: Doctor Christopher, could you tell us some of the precautions and
dangers perhaps in eating liver? I have heard there are some possible problems
eating liver because, as you have explained, it is a toxin point, a point gathering
toxins, in animals for example.
Doctor Christopher: Some doctors say “Oh,that cleans out immediately and it‟s
impossible for any of that to be left in there.” But we feel a lot different about this.
We‟ve had a lot of experience working with livers in birds and animals over the
years. And a veterinarian doctor at the Utah Poultry and myself did an experiment
with five turkeys. And this was in the years before they used to have them dressed
and cleaned like they do now. As they came through they still were all completely
equipped with their innards. And so as the birds came out we took the beautiful
big birds that looked the choicest, and out of five four of them, as we opened them
up, had infection in the liver. And some of that infection was horrible looking
stuff. But they looked so healthy from the outside. This condition of eating the
liver is supposedly a very healthy thing, but to me it‟s rather obnoxious, because as
the animal or the bird is being prepared for the slaughter block fear comes into
them, and that fear from the adrenals goes through the whole body. And as a cat is
scared when it, after it‟s eaten a meal, it‟ll hiss and arch up it‟s back, and they‟ll
often times throw up their meal because it‟s poisoned them, just from fear alone.
Well, each animal has the inherent sense that they‟re going to be killed, and that
fear goes into the liver as well as the rest of the animal. But it does go very heavily
into that liver area and you‟re taking on some of that problem.
We are vegetarians, built as vegetarians, as the gorilla is, and I don‟t think the
gorilla ever drops down to the meat shop to buy a pound of liver. And he gets
along pretty good without it. He eats fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, and
does really well.
Question: Clarify one point. If you were to observe lymphatic congestion, for
instance in the iris of the eye, would the mullein and lobelia be the better formula
than the lung formula, which has other added herbs. Would this be…?
42
Doctor Christopher: If it is a lymph condition that is rather severe, and there right
now, lymphatic rosary or something of this type, I‟d go right into the mullein and
lobelia and use it in large amounts. Use ample. This is one of the first places to
start, that for the lungs will work on the lungs more than it will the lymphatic
system itself.
Question: Doctor Christopher, in the case of the stimulant you mentioned for
senility, to fight senility, or speed up the processes, does the waking up effect of
cayenne, for example, would that indicate that would be good also to counteract
the slow circulation of the brain?
Doctor Christopher: Cayenne will work in any part of the body. The good thing
about cayenne, and all stimulants, but cayenne is more pronounced, in that it
equalizes the bloodstream. This is the key. Where the bloodstream is concentrated
in a specific area, your cayenne will make it equalize. Take for example a gunshot
wound. Right, you take your cayenne and the bleeding stops by the time you count
to ten. Sometimes less. But it isn‟t because the cayenne has gone there and done
the job. The cayenne has taken the blood, which is rushing to where the wound is,
and redistributed it. And taken the pressure off of where the wound is and letting it
coagulate, and that is how it stops. Yes, your cayenne is good for the brain; it‟s
good for any part of the body.
Question: Doctor Christopher, another question has come up, and I‟m relaying the
question to you. This is on the breathing. Is there any specified or better way to
breathe under different atmospheric conditions, or does it matter?
Doctor Christopher: I don‟t quite follow you.
Question: Is there any special way to breathe, for example, in different
temperatures or environments, that it better than another?
Doctor Christopher: Well, our recommendation has always been to breathe through
the nose, because the nose is a very fine piece of equipment. We find many people
are mouth-breathers today. And when they breathe through the mouth all the dirt,
filth, and germs go directly on in, and nothing is filtered out at all. But when you
breathe through the nose you have a filtering system in there, but you also have
something else; you have an equalization system, that when the air comes in – if
you‟d been out with me in Evanston, Wyoming, when I used to go out on house
calls at 40 and 45 below zero. Right, you get out with me on one of those calls,
maybe I‟d go fifty miles, but you‟d take a big deep breath through your mouth --
43
fall over dead, because that air would go right into the lung area and kill you. But
breathe through the nose. It‟s 45 below zero at the bottom of the nose and two
inches higher up, oh, give or take according to the nationality, you will find that
it‟s 98.6. Now any man that can invent something as great as that, he might write
something as a special like “deity” under his name. But only God can do
something as wonderful as that. If you‟re in a burning building at 700 degree
Fahrenheit, right, you breathe through your mouth it will kill you right now. But
through the nose it‟ll drop it from 500 degrees to 98.6.
So here is, I think, one of the finest things. And we do have something to open up
that head area so you can breathe through the nose again, even though you‟ve been
breathing through the mouth for a long time, and it‟s called horseradish. Just take
some apple cider vinegar, grate horseradish into it so that it‟s a thick slush, and
start off with a third of a teaspoon, chew it thoroughly, and when all the strength is
out of it swallow the pulp. You can tell when all of the strength is out of it because
you‟ve stopped bawling and you‟ve pulled your scalp off of the ceiling. But you
do this three times a day, and every three days step it up a third of a teaspoon until
you get up to a teaspoon three times a day. And you‟ll be a nose-breather. Unless
of course there is a broken or deformed condition, of course.
Question: Doctor Christopher, I‟m relaying another question that had been passed
to me. The question is regarding lobelia. There had been criticism on the use of it
because of the fear that it might be toxic. Many people have taken lobelia and felt
so deathly sick that they felt for sure that it would be something that would be bad
for them
Dr Christopher: Yes, they knew it was going to kill them right now, but it never
does. It‟s as harmless as water but one of the most powerful herbs known to
mankind. I have taken personally four tablespoons full of a tincture of lobelia seed
in one sitting, mixed with honey and distilled water. Not knowing what it was – I
thought it was just vinegar. But I took the four tablespoons full and yes, I knew I
was going to die. But I didn‟t. It sure cleaned me out. I felt better than I had for a
long time. It can‟t do anything but clean you out good. It is harmless. We have
given it to little babies, days old, little newborn babies, as we have given cayenne
tea to little new babies that have bronchial problems and pulled them out of their
conditions. So this is something, don‟t be afraid of the good herbs, because they
have been proven and tested for hundreds of years.

Lecture No. 4 Stomach -- Heart
We‟re going to talk about the stomach now. This is a subject that bothers an awful
lot of people in many ways. It‟s one that really classifies people; they say that
you‟re really not up there in business unless you‟ve got stomach ulcers. If you
have stomach ulcers you should be a chairman of the board or vice president or
something like this, but it isn‟t that funny. I‟ve had stomach ulcers and bleeding
ulcers and it is a very, very scary and sad condition. But a good, healthy stomach
is so important. A lot of our digestion is done in the stomach itself, but we‟ve got
to take care of it and over a period of time, eating properly and the right liquids, it
can take care of itself. But number one, if we have stomach ulcers, let‟s go into
this subject right at the beginning. A stomach ulcer is through improper food
intake or liquid intake, as it is with alcohol and things of this type, so we‟ve got to
watch our diet in the first place, but if we have this problem there are a number of
things that we can use.
We have, let‟s go into an herb we use in the garden called okra. Okra is rather a
smooth operation, it‟s a little on the slimy side, but you can doll it up and it‟s not
too recognizable. But it is a great healer. I have a friend, a naturopathic physician
down in New Orleans, that has made up okra tablets, and has become quite
independent on just selling okra tablets. That‟s the only one he ever makes, but
there‟s so many people with ulcers and they get some help from it. And I guess if
you take enough of it it would eventually cure the ulcer. But there are still faster
ways than that. We‟ve got other things like cabbage juice. Cabbage juice has done
miracles with stomach ulcers. We find that people who go on the three day cleanse
and the mucusless diet get relief quite quickly from this condition. We have also
another one which is our top, we feel, and that‟s cayenne. This sounds so
ridiculous. I remember in Vancouver, British Columbia, our lesson that day was
cayenne, and I raised my little fat hand, I was in my thirties, and I said “why are
we studying cayenne? It‟ll eat the lining out of your stomach.”
And Dr. Nowell, bless his soul, he said “oh? And how did you find that out?”
And I said “Well, my mother told me.” And everybody in the class laughed except
Dr. Nowell, and he said “well, what was her herbal degree?”
Well, I got the picture right then. I said “well, I guess she didn‟t have one.”
45
He said, “Could you stay after class?” And I said, “yes” and so I did. And at his
expense, in his car with his gas, he drove me around Vancouver, British Columbia,
and introduced me to nearly a dozen people whose lives had been saved with
cayenne. And there is a great teacher, one who went out of his way and sold me a
bill of goods. I mean, I had come back to Salt Lake City knowing that boy, this is
my introduction. Back to Zion where I knew everybody would say “hallelujah, we
got the right man here because Brigham Young used to teach about using
cayenne.” Well, I talked about cayenne and people just turned their back on me. I
estimate that at that time, which was over thirty years ago, I don‟t think there was a
pound of cayenne used in the entire state of Utah for medicinal purposes. It was
really something.
We were quite concerned in trying to educate people, and through lecturing and
teaching I finally got people wanting cayenne. And they didn‟t have any place to
buy it. At that time we didn‟t have any herb outlets in our health stores – it was a
little rough. Well, I went down to Cook Tea and Coffee. They furnish condiments
for the restaurants. And I said “Mr. Cook, could my students and patients buy
cayenne from you?”
“Nope!”
I said “well, why not?”
“We only sell wholesale.”
“Well, what condition would be wholesale?”
“They have to buy at least a pound at a time and no sensible person would ever buy
a pound of that stuff.”
“Well, supposing they would buy a pound?”
“Nope!”
I said “We haven‟t got any place to buy it, and I‟d like them to.”
“Well, if they come in and say they‟re one of your students, one of your patients,
I‟ll let them buy a pound. But, that‟s the only way they can get it.”
46
Several years went by and I went back into Cook Tea and Coffee. Mr. Cook, who
was head and shoulders higher than me and a great big guy put his arm around me
and gave me a squeeze and says “Gee, I‟m glad you came in. I sure like you.”
And I said, “What‟s this all about?”
“Well,” he said, “I‟ve been with my accountant this morning and we just found out
that since you came in over three ton of cayenne has been sold to your students and
patients over these years They‟re crazy, but as long as they‟re crazy keep them
coming in. You can‟t get me to take it, but there we are.”
Well, we‟ve had case after case with stomach ulcers where they‟ve been healed
very quickly, and this is one of the fastest foods we know of, because it will feed
the mucus membrane, it puts iron and calcium back into the area. It doesn‟t soothe
and wash over the like milk does. That‟s all that does, is just act as Elmer‟s Glue
does and glue on a little temporary relief. But we, well, that‟s where your casein
for Elmer‟s Glue comes from. With the cayenne it actually heals. We have
interesting cases of people who have ridiculed us, but one man wanted to commit
suicide, he was in such pain with his stomach ulcers. Nobody was home and his
wife had cleaned out all the poisons from the drug shelves and medicine cabinets.
He couldn‟t find anything to kill himself with. Nothing was left in there but a big
can of cayenne, and he hated even the thought of cayenne because his wife was
kind of herb minded. Well, he though, that will kill me if anything will. So he
said “I took a tablespoon full of it and rushed in and put my head under a pillow. I
was all alone. I didn‟t want the neighbors to hear me in my dying shrieks. I put a
pillow over my head and lay there to die. The next thing I knew my wife shook me
the next morning and said „Wake up! You‟ve got to get to work. It‟s the first night
you‟ve ever slept in years, but you slept all night long!‟”
And he said “You know there was no pain down there. Well, he said,” I kept using
the cayenne and I‟m healed!” So, we won a man over to our team with getting rid
of his stomach ulcers.
This is one of the greatest foods for the stomach, the bowels, for the veins and
arteries. There is nothing to equal it. In this case when we have a severe stomach
ulcer condition, we don‟t recommend starting with a third of a teaspoon or a fourth
of a teaspoon and working up. We just say take that teaspoon and get it down you.
And when it‟s down you‟ll find immediate relief, as most people do. So we‟ve got
a combination of, for people with weak stomachs and stomach ulcers that are
afraid to start with the cayenne, is they take three parts of slippery elm, three parts
47
of comfrey – that‟s the leaf or the root – three parts of mullein, and one part of
lobelia, and make this into a tea or make it into capsules, and drink it with comfrey
tea. If you take two or three of these capsules and use comfrey tea to wash it down
it makes a double aid. But you‟ll find over a period of time very thorough and
very complete relief.
Sometimes we run into troubles with the stomach of having not enough acid, or
too much acid. A hydrochloric acid malfunction. Out of balance. So there are
ways of doing this. You can go down to the drug store or the health store, either
one, and buy some hydrochloric acid. One‟s supposedly organic and the other‟s
supposedly just straight hydrochloric acid like you will use in the chemistry lab but
weakened down. And this will give you more hydrochloric acid. Well, if you – or
you can use Tums. Yes, you know. But there are many alkalines and anti -- …
well, this is a market within itself because of the number of people with acid
malfunction. But when you do this you have worked on the effect and haven‟t
gone to the cause. And so by working on the effect the organ that makes the
hydrochloric acid says “well, so you‟re not satisfied with what I‟m doing? Nuts to
you!” and it just stops, and it doesn‟t work anymore. And now you‟re in worse
condition.
Alright, we have a very simple food for that which is a tablespoon of apple cider
vinegar and a tablespoon of honey. Put these in distilled water, stir it up, and it
makes rather a pleasant drink. And do this three or more times a day and you will
find after a period of time -- some people within a week or two, with some people
it takes a month, but you‟ll find that hydrochloric acid starts flowing at the right
amount. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount. And we have gone
to the cause of rebuilding the organ that has been starved to death and hasn‟t
worked properly. The honey that we use, it's always best to use honey from your
own neighborhood, in your own backyard, under your own fig tree. In other words
in the county or the area close by.
The reason for this is -- a good example -- supposing you got hayfever. We‟d say,
well, one of the finest things for hay fever is during a three day cleanse, to take
some honeycomb and just chew on honeycomb. And use a lot of it over those
three days. And we say fine, that‟s a nice, sweet way to do it, which it is, but the
small print is the honeycomb from your own area. You could use a honeycomb
that your good friend just brought you back from Hawaii. That would be delicious,
a little orchid in it, you know, and everything. Very fine honey. But you know
what caused the hay fever isn‟t the pollen from orchids. It‟s the pollen from your
flowers in your own backyard. And that is why we believe in eating our foods
48
proper. The herbs that are called vegetables and fruits from our own backyard
under our own fig tree, in other words at our own latitude, longitude, altitude and
our own atmospheric pressure, and we will find that we will have long life and we
will have less hospital and doctor bills. And so it is with the honey. Use the honey
from your own area. And the apple cider vinegar. Use the best type you can get.
Don't get the synthetics. Try to get some from a health store or some that has got a
little mother growing in it, and that is good regardless what brand it is.
The stomach itself, being a digestive organ, is the introduction into getting value
out of our food, and in getting the value out of our food the best thing to do is get
thedigestive juices working. We have in the mouth the saliva glands and by
mixing saliva with the foods that we eat, the juices that we drink, we now have
turned on the digestive juices in the stomach.
When we do not have saliva mixed with our foods, they go right on through, and
they do not attract the digestive juices for reaction, and that's why we get such a
low food value out of what we eat. Let‟s chew our food thoroughly, get plenty of
saliva in it, and then the gastric juices start to flow into the stomach. And when
they do that we‟ve got a good, healthy condition. The gastric juices converts the
food so to be assimilated and not just accepted, and here is working on the cause
again not on the effect. The effect is just to eat food. And if it just, we gulp it
down, inhale it in other words, it goes right on through and does not get digested.
But if we get the saliva and the digestive juices working on it then we get better
assimilation and less accepted material that will cause us problems.
Let's go now into bleeding from the bowels. This bleeding from the bowels or
from the stomach can be very frightening. This can be stopped oft times with
cayenne, and by continual use of cayenne can overcome this. But then we have
times when we don't get this result as fast we should. It's once in a while a person
lets down, but we do have a very fine formula for this healing of the bowels when
they‟re bleeding, and this is using mullein – the same one that we talked about the
glandular system. Now we‟re using it for bleeding in the bowel area. But it must
be mixed with milk. This is something that shocks people because we‟re
supposedly weaned and we don't use milk anymore, because the only animals on
the face of Earth that will go back to milk after being weaned are a few humans.
And so this is rather a shock for me to even say milk, but there is a purpose for it.
The mullein itself is the healer, but the mullein will not adhere to the bleeding area
though it vibrates right to that area. It washes off quickly and it needs to be
49
adhered, glued on. The milk that we mix the mullein with is the same thing that
we get glue out of.
I got an education in my teenage years of being a cabinet maker, and I worked
under a old artisan. And he always would tell me the best glue makes the best
furniture, and the best glue comes from cow‟s milk. Alright, there we‟ve got the
key because the cow has over twenty times more casein in the milk than the human
body can assimilate. So the balance of it is left to be accepted in the form of
Elmer‟s glue. That's what it actually is; it's just glue. So it takes the mullein and
pastes it on to the side of the wall and keeps it there a little bit longer. We take an
ounce of the mullein herb and simmer it for five minutes, very slow simmer, in a
pint of whole milk. Now it‟s best the raw milk but if you can't get the pasteurized.
And strain it, and immediately after a bowel movement have the individual drink
the full pint. And after each bowel movement have a pint. The bowel movements
at first comes quite frequently because as blood runs down in there it causes
pressure and it feels like finita, the end.
We have had cases that have been taken out of the hospital after weeks not being
able to get in to cauterize and being too weak to operate on. In one case too heavy
a weight for operation. They‟d been in the hospital taking infusions for weeks,
were taken home. And in one case early in the morning we gave them the
formulas and by night the bleeding had stopped. It works this fast.
There's nothing could frighten a person much more than seeing blood in the stool.
It is really something that panics. And if it‟s really dark blood then it‟s from up in
the stomach area. And that means stomach ulcer. And so we have to watch that.
We have in the stomach an organ that is very, very delicate, and if we eat the
wrong kind of food we can eat the lining out. And so I can give you one type of
food that will never interfere with the stomach lining: the mucusless diet. Had to
get a key in there. Plug once in a while. That is the one that will do the job.
Now also, coming back to the bleeding from bowels. Oak bark, bayberry bark,
both of them are astringents, and to drink the tea. Or to take an enema with the
concentrated tea, in other words, simmer the tea down to half or one fourth of the
original amount and then insert it into the rectum. And this has saved a lot of lives;
it‟s really very potent. Even if it isn‟t too severe a condition red raspberry leaf tea
will help. Taking cayenne along with it.
This program of getting the stomach into good condition is important in this
reason. We find that the more food we eat, the more we have to store up for
50
disastrous times. And I am not trying to scare anybody; I'm just trying to frighten
you. But it is the truth. We are in a seven-year drought, and it's progressing along
even with all the snow we've had. A good hot wind can remove that moisture so
fast that things can bleach out even this year. We are in the same repeating
drought that Joseph had back in Egypt. A seven-year drought. If you would like
to go into to the Scriptures, it gives a history that‟s almost like it was written for
today. When it tells about Joseph in Israel. Forty-seventh chapter of Genesis,
starting with your twelfth verse. It tells how that the grain was all gone and so they
came in because they had no more money, and they had to turn over the cattle, they
had to turn over their lands, and finally they, to keep from starving. Because this
is, we‟re coming so close to this. Take it for granted now that we have been just
eating like everybody else eats. Inhaling our foods, gulping it down, grabbing a
snack here and a snack there, some Twinkies from the store and some, you know
what I mean. So, we‟re getting very poor assimilation, lots of acceptance but poor
assimilation. And the assimilation is 8%. Now we clean out the bowels, we get
the stomach working properly, we get the bloodstream flowing well, and you know
what? We will eat about one third or one fourth of what we ate originally, without
that continual craving, that hunger that‟s with us all the time. And because we‟re
not craving all the time we don‟t eat as much. But we‟re getting better
assimilation. So we‟re getting 40 to 45% assimilation instead of only 8%. And
eating only a third.
So we've got now a program wherein, instead of being stored up to two years for
one person would practically feed a small family by distributing it. And of course
going on your seventh day fast with just distilled water. And that gives you
enough that you can invite the neighbors in for dinner. And be really sociable
about the whole thing. This is more critical than we want to want to stress because
those people who are healthy are going to go through the bad conditions that are
coming up. And this is one way to do it.
We've got another subject we want to go into, and that subject is the heart. And the
heart happens to be a very important organ. Very important. When it stops, we
stop. And there is no need for stopping, as it does for so many people. Between
now and this time tomorrow, twenty four hours from now. there'll be over fifty
thousand people fall over with heart attacks. Fifty thousand people. They won‟t
all die. But before the year is out there‟ll be three million people die of heart
attacks. It is getting one of our top killers. One reason is because we have starved
that heart. Number two, we are living in a day of fear, and fear causes heart
attacks. Not just because it‟s getting close tax time but you know what I mean. It's
just a fearful thing, because unless you know the way around you fear that you‟re
51
going to be with the people who aren‟t going to make the grade. And if we make
the grade for the next twenty odd years we might slip into the millennium and get a
thousand years of peace. A thousand years. A week right now would be nice. But
a thousand years of peace, and that heart can last a thousand years without any
trouble. That heart from the time of Adam down to Noah lasted nine hundred, nine
hundred and sixty, nine hundred and eighty; it was never allowed to go the full
thousand years, but it came right close to that thousand year time.
Man from the time of Adam down to Noah was a vegetarian, and if you don‟t
believe in the Scriptures go to Josephus. He was a hard-headed historian and he‟ll
tell you the same thing. There‟s no history of meat eating, but the people lived a
long time. And when they lived a long time they lived with happiness. But at the
time of Noah. He was told that there was going to be a flood. And he was told to
put two of the unclean and seven of the clean animals on. When the Ark landed on
Mount Ararat it landed in a sterile area because the salt water had killed all
vegetation, and that they had turned to eating meat. They liked it, and in three
generations, just three generations, they dropped from nearly a thousand year down
to a hundred and twenty years - in three generations.
Where does that fit in with us? During that thousand years of peace the conditions
are that the lamb will lie down with the lion, the bear with the ox, the child will
play at the cock of thrices den, a poisonous insect will never be injured, and there
will be no harm or hurt in all my Kingdom, says the Lord.
So if we aren't vegetarians, the only way we‟re going to get a piece of meat is to
take a quick bite as the animal comes by. It‟ll be a little rare, you might get a few
hair in your teeth, but I can‟t see any other way around because you can‟t kill
them. Well, putting all joking to one side we can never go in the millennium as
meat-eaters; it‟s impossible.
The forty-ninth section of our own doctrine and covenants in the church I belong to
says that a man who says you must abstain from meat is not of God. And this is
true because it‟s backing up our eighty-ninth section of the doctrine and covenants
wherein it says “and during times of cold winter or famine we are to eat meat.”
Alright, we take lower life to sustain upper life and so when you take and put your
arm to the square and say I will never touch meat you are going against the word of
God when he says it is to be used during times of emergency. But we will have
plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds if we work it right. And we just
won't have to have a famine.
52
Let's talk about this heart. We've starved it. We have given it the rottenest,
poorest, most horrible foodstuffs. And it‟s just limping along with most people
right now, just barely getting by. And it stops once in a while and someone rushes
over and puts a nitroglycerin capsule under the tongue. And that nitroglycerin
tablet, it‟s a whip. It whips up the heart and the heart starts beating right fast again,
and gathers together some calcium and other foods and keeps limping along, and
maybe we survive. That is what it‟s doing; it's whipping it. You know you can
whip horse, and that horse keeps it going for a while. But all of a sudden it‟s going
to lay over and die because you forgot to feed it. The same thing with the heart.
All right, we've been called on many heart cases, on house calls where the people
are passed out, they‟re lying there. We have never lost a case in thirty five years.
And why? Because we propped up after we bring them to and we put down the
down a cup of cayenne tea. A teaspoon of cayenne and a cup of hot water. And I
use the hot water to expand the cell pore areas so that the cayenne will go in fast.
It goes directly to the heart, while they are sitting up and they shake their head and
they say “let‟s go to a dance or something.” Yes we‟ve had them actually say “uh,
I feel like I want to do something now. My heart‟s ok.”
What have we done? Instead of working on the effect using a whip to stir it up and
whip it, we have gone to the cause and fed that heart, and cayenne goes directly to
the heart area and there is your key. A perfect food and it goes in and it feeds the
heart. And if you‟ll keep that cayenne going in, that heart can be rebuilt. But it's
got to be done faithfully. Not religiously but faithfully. Faithfully is using it as
many times as you should a day, six days a week, week in and week out, go on and
on and on. That‟s doing it faithfully. Religiously is Christmas and Easter.
We have other ways of feeding that heart and some of the other ways are extremely
important. The mucusless diet. I'm getting that key in just as often as I can.
Because your whole grains are loaded with the very vitamins and minerals that are
needed for a good, strong heart. But if we can't depend on the food on the table
alone to the job then we need something a little extra, the hawthorn berry is your
next. The hawthorn berry according to Potter's Topical Cyclopedia, which is the
old English herbal, herbalist Bible, it says hawthorn berry has one specific. It is a
cardiac food. And this is what it really is. It's one of the richest foods for the heart
that we have. It can be taken in the form of a tea or you can make into capsules,
tablets, with hawthorn berry and maybe some cayenne with it. There‟s different
combinations. But your hawthorn berry will rebuild a heart. It doesn't matter what
type of art heart malfunction. That's another wonderful thing about our type of
program. You know there are several hundred different types of heart diseases. If
53
I went in and started through one after another to find out which disease they had,
to find out what to give them for it, they‟d die before I could get down to number
six. So what we do? We go to the cause and feed it right now. So with the
hawthorn berry.
I‟m going to give you a formula for hawthorn berry syrup now. And this formula
is one that has saved many people by getting their hearts whole once more. This
hawthorn berry syrup, I‟ll give it to you as quickly as I can, is made up by taking
your hawthorn berries, if they're fresh a pan full of them just about two inches from
the top. If they are dried berries then you would rehabilitate them with distilled
water. And when they are back up to regular full-size again have it so that it is still
two inches from the top. Cover with distilled water so the water is an inch above
the berries. Put it on to simmer and under a hundred and thirty, just a low simmer,
for fifteen to twenty minutes, and as it simmers stir it so that it won't stick. Then,
set it to one side and let it steep for fifteen to twenty minutes. Strain it. The water
that you strain off of it, the liquid that you strain off, put into a clean container, a
pan, and set to one side. Now you mash the berries with a potato masher or some
type of a instrument and cover these with distilled water again. The reason I use
distilled water, we get thirty percent more efficiency in any teas or any herbal aids
that we use with distilled water. We cover it to at least an inch above the mashed
berries and this time will have to do more stirring. And we simmer for twenty
minutes again. And steep it for twenty minutes after it has finished simmering.
We strain it. Strain all the liquids off, press it out. And this liquid that we take off
the second time we add the liquid from the first time, and stir it up. We put it into
the clean pan and put it on the stove and simmer it slowly. Do not let it boil under
any condition. A slow simmer with the lid off and it takes a long time; you‟ve got
to be patient with this. And if you don't have the time for patience put into a
double boiler and do it this way. But let it come down to one-fourth its original
amount.
In other words, before you put the liquids in the pan, if you got a gallon of the
liquid take and put a quart mark on the bottom of the pan, up to a quart, and then
just keep simmering. But you‟ll have to stir this very regularly because it must not
stick on the bottom. And it has some solids in now that would stick quite easily.
And you stir it until you‟ve got it down to one-fourth the original amount. This
makes what we call a seven power concentrate, and this is a little on the heavy
side, now, a little thicker. We take it off the stove and we add to this one fourth of
the finished amount. For instance we‟ve come from a gallon –use this just as
round figures – down to a quart. So, now we‟d use a fourth of the quart with grape
brandy. That would be an eight ounces. I mean that would be a pint, pardon me.
54
We‟re down to a quart. Excuse me – eight ounces was correct in the first place.
Eight ounces.
And also add one fourth of vegetable glycerin, which should be eight ounces of
vegetable glycerin. Now this vegetable glycerin has the same USP as your animal
glycerin or your petroleum glycerin, which we don‟t advise at all. And stir this up
thoroughly, bottle it in dark, stained bottles and cork it tightly. Turn the bottle
upside down in paraffin wax and wax the lid on.
And we have now got our heart tonic all put up for future use. The dosage a half a
teaspoon, one half teaspoon, three times a day. This is the adult dose. In fact this
is the only good tasting herbal combination we‟ve got. And it‟ll taste so good
people will want to gulp it down. Well, after you‟ve stirred this twelve, fourteen
hours, you will hit anybody over the head who wants to take more than a half
teaspoon at a time. Because it‟s hard to make, but it works.
We had a case during one of our lecture series years ago when we used to read
eyes. This woman had leakage of the heart and had a cardiac dropsy. Her ankles
were swollen and had been for fourteen years. They had – no – for four years they
had never seen her ankles. This was it. In four years time, because the ankle bone
had always puffy, and we her take the hawthorn berry syrup which was a half
teaspoon three times a day. This was on a Tuesday, and Thursday night at the
lecture the lady‟s son said “would you mind if my mother came up front?” And
she came up front and he said “I want you all to look at her ankles” and she put her
foot up on the chair and he said “this is the first time I've seen her ankles, her ankle
bones in four years.” And that was in three days of using this. Now it doesn‟t
work for everybody that fast but to it does the job. And over a period of time.
My own dad-in-law had leakage of the heart from the time he was born. They
carried him around on a pillow as a baby, he was so delicate, and he could never,
never pass any type of a test for a job test at all. Any time he had to take a physical
they would turn him down because of leakage of the heart. He started taking this
when he was sixty two and when he was sixty five, he took a physical with a clean
bill of health. And the doctor says “you‟ll never die of a heart attack.” He says
“you‟ve got a healthy heart.” And he lived until he was eighty one and didn‟t die
of a heart attack.
Folks, that heart is an extremely important area. We have got, this can used as a
tea, it can be used in many ways. This is good for the veins, good for the arteries
again, it helps rebuild them, because it's high in calcium.
55
We also have another herbal tea that is good for the heart which is sassafras. And
sassafras tea is excellent. Now don‟t worry about the saffron because we don‟t
isolate it. We give it in its wholesome state and the other parts of the herb takes
care of the little part that could be damaging if it were isolated. So, this is the key.
And that‟s why in the Scriptures it says all herbs in their wholesome state. But we
still don‟t recommend using sassafras tea too long at a time. Any time over six
weeks and it thins the bloodstream down sometimes little too much. So we‟ll have
to kind of watch that. But it is very good for cutting the cholesterol out and
keeping your bloodstream good and clean. We have with the heart other things
that are supposedly very good, which would be your vitamin E. Wheat germ oil.
This is good in emergency and to use it we've seen remarkable results with wheat
germ oil. But we do say if you will start eating the grains in their wholesome state
you won‟t have to use just the oil alone because you‟ll get all the value you need
from the whole grains. That is wheat, buckwheat, rye, barley, millet, any of these
are excellent and very high in all of your vitamin B's and your minerals.
Have you any questions now you‟d like to ask.
Question: When we were talking about the stomach ulcers and you gave us a
formula, or did you give us a formula in addition, oh yes, this slippery elm and this
other formula, if you wanted to really work on the ulcers would it be a good idea to
take the cayenne in addition to this?
Doctor Christopher: Oh, that cayenne is a blessing in any condition. Whatever it
is it will speed it up because it is a stimulant. That doesn‟t mean it is an alcohol or
any of that type. Because an alcohol is a depressant. But a stimulating herb is one
that stimulates the cells and the tissues and gives them more life and vitality.
Question: I have another question, Doctor Christopher. We were talking about
bleeding from the stomach and the bowels. How would you use the mullein and
milk for stomach hemorrhage, bleeding ulcers, how often and…?
Doctor Christopher: Well, with the stomach it‟s a little different than the bowel
itself, because it takes longer for it to get contact through the small intestines and
everything else. So in this case you would have to use a pint of this, but use it in
cup forms. Use a cup every half hour. The problem is, after you have used it this
way you would have to eventually clean out all of that accepted but not assimilated
merchandise called glue. So it‟s better really to the other way if you can, with the
herbs and the cayenne.
56
Question: Doctor Christopher, a question has been handed to me which I‟m
relaying to you. This is on the bleeding, in case the bleeding has been stopped,
let‟s say of the lower bowel or anywhere in the lower intestinal track. Is there any
way to ensure that the bleeding will not reoccur?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, the best thing to do, number one, when the bleeding stops
as an example, we say continue on with every bowel movement for the nexta day
or two, using this after each bowel movement. And then at least for three days
have it three times a day. But in the meantime we‟re changing this diet, and there
is the key. Get them back living like a human should live.
Question: The barberry formula that you gave us for jaundice or hepatitis, I didn‟t
get the tea, one half a cup every how often?
Doctor Christopher: Oh, during a siege, when they‟re having it, every half hour or
every hour. It‟s, if it gets a little too nauseating, you‟ll have to stretch it out. There
are no two patients alike. We can‟t stamp them all with the US stamp. I mean, we
can‟t, we‟ve got to be careful because some people have a high nervous
temperament and other people don‟t. You know, this whole thing we‟re talking
about, the veins and the arteries, and what to do when we have phlebitis, what to
do when we have varicosity. Well, one of the worst cases of varicose veins is
hemorrhoids and piles. This is what it really is. Because in the lower part of the
bowel we have an accumulation of old fecal matter that has been there for a long
period of time. And this fecal matter has in it a lot of sugars and starches. The
human body wants to get rid of it and so will try and get all of the liquids from the
body it can, to try and flush it out. But there isn‟t enough liquid because the
average individual doesn‟t drink enough. What liquids get down there will absorb
anything that‟s soluble, and the most soluble thing you‟ve got is the sugars. And
so it takes it all over to the veins, and that weakens the veins. And those veins get
weaker and weaker in that bowel area, until they start to swell up. And when we
find that we‟re so constipated, and we‟re trying to strain to get a BM, right, they
break, and then we have bleeding ulcers.
This condition here can be aided. Of course we go to the basic cause, you
understand – diet and right on through. But we make an oak bark suppository, by
mixing oak bark and vegetable glycerin. Or, if you don‟t have vegetable glycerin
you can use Vaseline petrolatum, or you can use olive oil, and make it into a paste,
and make it into the shape of a suppository. Put it into the refrigerator so that it‟ll
solidify and get hard. Now, before you insert that, put up a peeled button of garlic
57
into the rectum, as far as you can. Now this will clean up any infection. And the
sulfur in the garlic starts doing a healing process. And in addition now, just before
retiring at night is when we put the garlic up there, we insert the oak bark
suppository, and put it up as far as you can, and leave it there. It and the garlic will
come out with the first bowel movement in the morning, but during the night the
astringency will start feeding this particular weak area, and the calcium that‟s in
oak bark, (or the bayberry bark – if you can‟t get oak you can use the bayberry – b
a y b e r r y – don‟t get barberry, or bearberry, get bayberry). But the oak bark is
so heavy in calcium that it starts to rebuild those veins, and starts giving them aid.
Now, if we also take the cayenne, and work up to a teaspoon three times a day, and
do some jogging, you‟ll find remarkable results. We have seen cases of our
patients with hemorrhoids that have had to be held up with a harness, because they
would hang down between their legs five, six inches, and they would have to be
pushed back in and then a harness put on to hold them in. We have seen them in a
matter of six weeks to three months come back up into place again, and stay in
place, by following the program and changing into the proper diet.

Lecture No. 5 Pancreas – Nerves – Insomnia
We are going to discuss today another of our organs that give us a lot of trouble.
This particular organ happens to be called a pancreas. But we‟re going to simplify
this, just as we do all other parts of the body. We have, with the pancreas, many,
many diseases that can be acquired by improper living, and some of them through
inherent weak strains that have been passed on down to us. So we have with the
pancreas an organ that sometimes gets out of function. It will either produce not
enough sugar, which would be a low sugar condition, which is called
hypoglycemia, or a high sugar condition, which is called diabetes, which is one of
our very prominent killers in the world today.
When a person shows that they have high sugar and it is a diabetic condition, the
first thing we do is put them on insulin. This is the routine that has been used for
many years. Enough insulin and the very organs that make up your insulin will
stop working. Just like an arm that is tied down to the side of the body. After it
has been tied down and not allowed to move for a long period of time you can‟t
even raise it, because it has become inactive. And so by furnishing insulin to the
body, you are going against all laws of decency, rules and regulations that will
make the body get weaker instead of stronger. What we want to do is go to the
cause. With low blood sugar, it still stems from the same organ.
So we‟re interested in, number one, the pancreas. We had wondered for years
what could be done about clearing a pancreatic malfunction. We‟ve had so many,
many cases over our thirty five years of practice that were down with diabetes or
hypoglycemia. One day a man came to us and said, “I‟ve got a kidney problem. I
can‟t void my urine like I should.”
“Well,” I said, “get you some juniper berries and it will generally give you quick
clearance. And if there‟s more problems, drop back.”
And he said, “Well, I‟ve got juniper berries in my own back yard. I‟ll use them.”
Well I said, “Fine, that‟s good.”
So, a few weeks he came back and said “your juniper berries didn‟t do anything for
me. They didn‟t help at all.” He said, “ I‟ve got the same trouble.”
I said “Oh, that‟s impossible, because juniper berries will work.”
59
He said “well, I‟ve got some right in my pocket, and here they are.”
And he held them out to me and I said “well, those are not a true juniper berry.
That‟s a monostone cedar berry, off of cedar trees that we have here in this area.
The juniper berry has three stones, maybe seven stones, but this is a monostone.
It‟s the cherry stone type.” I said “let me get you some juniper berries.” And I
went in and got some for him. And I said, “Now this is a true juniper berry. The
one you have is the juniper family, but it‟s just a kissing cousin.”
“Well,” he said, “Fine, I‟ll get at this juniper berry, but I‟m going to start working
again at keeping up with the cedar berries that you talk about.”
And I said “well if they‟re not doing you any good, why do you want to keep using
the cedar berries?”
“Well,” he said, “you know, it‟s an amazing thing, but since I‟ve been using them,
I don‟t have to use as much insulin.”
And I said “huh? Wait a minute. Come again. I don‟t think I heard you right.”
And he said “that‟s a fact. I don‟t have to use as much insulin.”
And I said “glory be! How many are you taking?”
“Oh,” he said, “I chew three or four, half a dozen a day.”
And I said “take six of them three times a day and let‟s see what happens. Keep in
touch.”
He kept in touch and before too awfully long, a few months passed and he wasn‟t
using any insulin at all. His body was making its own. He‟d watched the litmus
paper very carefully and he‟d tapered down the insulin until now he was down to
none. Well, I was just thrilled to death! I had tried devil‟s club bark, I‟d tried a
number of herbal aids, but none of them would give me the full satisfaction that
this was doing.
So, I had a patient -- that dear soul was using 85 to 90 of insulin a day, and I asked
her if she wanted to try something out.
60
She said. “Well, I‟m supposed to use this as long as I live, and increase as I get
older.”
And I said, “Suppose that I promise you that if you use the berries I‟m going to
give you that within a year you‟ll never have to use any more insulin? That you‟ll
make your own?”
And she said “Oh, let‟s go to it!”
So, we started her off, and this time, being still in the experimental stage, I had her
use six of them three times a day, and chew the berries or grind them up as they
were hard, and she watched the litmus paper, and of course with all of our work as
an herbalist we advise people to go right on using that which has been given to
them to work on the effect. If a doctor has said you need so many units of insulin a
day, you go right on using it, but watch the litmus paper. And when you find that
you don‟t need quite that much, taper it off.
This is the same with anything. If we‟re working with the heart, that we were
talking about in one of our other tapes, if the person is using nitroglycerin or
something else we say go right ahead use it. But you‟ll find out eventually you
won‟t need it. There‟s no need kicking the crutches out from under you before
you‟re ready to walk on your own.”
So I told this lady that was using so much insulin “watch the litmus paper. And
when it gets to a point where you feel that you can taper off, do so.”
She said “fine.”
A little over a year, she was using no insulin at all. She was making her own. As
long as stayed on the mucusless diet and followed the program she had no
reoccurrence, and she‟d fallen in love with the mucusless diet and so there was no
problem there at all. So, here is an answer that is very important to the question
what can be done for diabetes? Or what can be done for hypoglycemia? We say
we‟re not even interested in those; we‟re interested in the pancreas. So let‟s heal
the pancreas. Since that time we have found that we have had to put other herbs in
that work on other glands, since the glands work in conjunction with each other.
They will work very, very cooperatively when we have companionship from gland
to gland. So we‟ve added some more herbs. And here is a formula that we have
used as an herbal doctor for many years, and it has been very successful with most
people. Of course I say again, it‟s the people who are faithful, that use the program
61
regularly, not the person that just uses it when they feel like well, maybe I ought to
take some herbs today.
We use in this program goldenseal, which herb alone will help make a little
insulin. But if you use too much goldenseal by itself, isolated, it will rob the
vitamin B out of your body. For instance, supposing a person says “well I surely
made a bargain today! I got my goldenseal for $9 a pound instead of sixteen. And
you know, I‟m taking a tablespoon a day of it.” Well, we look into the iris of the
eye and we see at twelve o‟clock the life line there, that is very dark. And this is
because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The goldenseal has leached out
the vitamin B‟s from the body. But when it‟s used in conjunction with other herbs
and used in smaller amounts, it‟s one of the greatest herbs we‟ve got. Now of
course with goldenseal, when we have blood poisoning, or we have something
where we need it right now, use plenty of it. But over a long range period of time
is the only time I‟m mentioning that it could be dangerous.
So, we use goldenseal, which is the healer of healers, and along with it we use uva
ursi. Now, uva ursi, another common name for that is bearberry, uva ursi is a
solvent. We worry a lot about stones in the kidneys, stones in the gallbladder, but
we don‟t realize that we can get stones in the pancreas. We can get stones in
accumulation in the pituitary, the pineal, the adrenaline, the reproductive organs.
Stones can get most anywhere in the body. And so we need the uva ursi as really a
solvent.
And now our next one is cayenne. Cayenne is the greatest stimulant that we have,
the greatest natural, herbal stimulant, which is harmless as water and powerful as
the most potent medicine known. In fact that tablespoon I had at 5:30 this
morning, why, it was very satisfying. In fact, you know after you take some in the
morning, you‟re wide awake for the rest of the day. It is really good for man or
beast. Come to speak of that, you know, my dad, bless his soul, whenever the pigs
got sick or the chickens got sick or the rabbits got sick he took cayenne out to
them. But when I got sick he never thought of giving it to me! [laughter] And I
was sick most of the time. Oh, if he‟d have only known that I was just as
important as those animals. [laughter]
Well, we need the cayenne because it will stimulate all of the cell structure, all of
the tissue in that pancreas and give it new life, new vigor, new pep and new
energy. And our next one would be the cedar berries. The cedar berries are not off
of the type of cedar tree that we make cedar chests out of. These cedar berries
come from our local juniperus type from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, we find some
62
scattered in Canada and various places. But it is a single stone, a monostone, type
of berry. And it‟s terrific.
Now with all these herbs we‟re using here, we use one part of each, except the
cedar berry – we use sixteen parts of it. Each of these herbs that we‟re mentioning
work on specific other glands also. Of course the cayenne works on all of the
glands. But we come now to licorice root. This licorice root is, oh it has many
qualities. It has a, it‟s a bit of a laxative, it‟s a demulcent and an emollient which
smoothes. But it works on the glandular system. If any of you were ever troubled
with sleeping sickness, that‟s when we don‟t have a very good speaker in church. I
mean, uhm… [laughter] Pardon me. We should get better ones sometimes, but we
doze off and we get poked in the ribs. And that‟s always kind of an alarming
thing. My wife says, “Honey, I wish you‟d sleep more on planes.” I can‟t sleep on
an airplane. She said “why don‟t you just imagine you‟re in church.” [laughter]
And says “You‟d get more rest.” Because I‟m flying continually.
Well, with licorice root tea it‟ll keep you wide awake. And even though you get
drowsy when you‟re reading or when you‟re studying or when you‟re in a meeting,
licorice tea is very good. But it works on the pituitary and the pineal, and it works
on the various parts of the glandular system, that is very beneficial for you.
And now we work on the mullein. The mullein is another herb that we include in
this formula and the reason we put the mullein in is because it is a natural for the
entire glandular system. Remember we talked in one of our other tapes about
mullein for the lymph system, the glandular system. So here the pancreas is a
gland. And the other glands that work with it, the mullein works beautifully. That
is why we include it.
So now we have a combination of these herbs. And this has done so much good
for so many, many people. One of my last trips into San Francisco, one of the
most smiling men I ever saw, black as you can make them but he has the most
beautiful white teeth. He‟s a minister and he came up to me and threw his arms
around me and said “oh, I‟m so glad to see you. That formula you gave for the
pancreas. You know, I don‟t have to take insulin any more. Ah, I can preach with
more enthusiasm than I ever preached before.”
Well, you know, those kinds of thank yous are far, far better than the money, I
think, and I‟ve always appreciated this. But you have a good combination of herbs
here that‟s very, very valuable and very precious because it works on either high
63
blood sugar or low blood sugar. Because we‟re working on the principle, going to
the cause of the organ that is causing the malfunction.
We had come to us in our office a man and a woman. They were in their middle
years, and brother and sister. But they were from a pancreas-weak family. It was
an inherent condition that had been handed down. And so one of them had
diabetes and the other had hypoglycemia, but it was both from the pancreas being
weak. But it reacted one way with one, and the other way with the other. The man
had hypoglycemia and his was severe. And they were planning on having him put
away into an institution, because he would go into raving fits when he would get
hungry. That condition would get him to a point that he wasn‟t fit to live around.
And the lady was running better than 90 units of insulin a day. She was very, very
advanced in diabetes and had had it for years. We put them on this program – of
course, like with all people we gave them the cleansing routine, the three day
cleanse and the mucusless diet, and put them onto this. But we gave them this
formula and telling drink plenty of good distilled water and juices.
Within six months the man went back to his regular doctor and got a glucose
tolerance test, and had a clean bill of health. Within six months time. The lady, in
less than a year, was using no insulin at all. Right, so we used the same identical
program with the one with low blood sugar as the one with high blood sugar. And
they got the same results. Healing.
Herbs. The good Lord has given us these herbs, and as Ezekiel said in 47, “The
fruit of the tree shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.” Well, we
believe in using herbs for the medicinal aid of mankind. But we do not use drugs.
This is quite an interesting thing. An attorney that I know down on the west coast
by the name of Mr. Kell, George Kell. Attorneys, of course, go right into the fine
points of everything, and he went into the fine points of the bible, to find out how
many times it talked about using drugs. And he wrote a book on it, and it says in
this book “I defy any man to find the work „drug‟ in the scriptures.” Well, but you
will find the use of plants and herbs, thousands of them. In fact there is a book
written by Menke called Plants of the Bible and it‟s a very thick book, a large
book, and it tells of the hundreds and hundreds of plants that are mentioned in the
bible, and it goes back to their history and how they were used medicinally by the
ancients back in the early Biblical times. Well, this is excellent.
So this is why we go to herbs, but we use them again as the scriptures say in their
“wholesome state”. We do not break our herbs down. We have, just as an
example of this, one of our great blood purifiers, that we didn‟t mention with our
64
other blood purifiers, in that tape, is one that is used for getting rid of fevers as well
as blood purification, and it‟s called the Chinchona herb. It is from the Peruvian
tree. Peruvian bark it‟s commonly called. And here is one of the marvelous herbs.
I‟m giving you this just as an example of using herbs in their wholesome state.
Mankind had been helped, the aborigines, the original Indians, because they had
used the Peruvian bark for many, many years with nothing but success. And it
would get rid of the worst fevers, the worst jungle fevers that they could ever have.
And it was harmless, absolutely harmless, and yet so beneficial.
Science came into the area and brought back to the pharmaceutical labs the
Peruvian bark, but they wanted to know why it was so wonderful in getting rid of
fevers. And they tore this away and took that away and took the fibers away, then
they took the unneeded parts that they thought and discarded them. And wound up
with a little crystalline material they put into capsules. And you can buy in any
drugstore now, from any pharmacy. Don‟t ask for Peruvian bark or Chinchona,
ask for quinine. That‟s what was left. Quinine, if you use enough of it, will make
you deaf. You can never hear again. Use an additional amount and it‟ll kill you.
Why? Because it was used in an isolated condition, by itself, and not used in its
wholesome state, as is clearly defined in the scriptures.
This word “wholesome,” in the 89th section in the Doctrines and Covenants, is a
very important word, and books could be written on it. Because here you have a
innocent herb, that can be given by the cupful, pint or quart, as much as a baby
could hold, and it won‟t hurt them. Or an adult. But when you break it down and
take the isolated amount of toxins out, and give them by themselves, you‟re asking
for trouble. We sometimes wonder why more people didn‟t go to the same school
we did. They can‟t see the same as we do. But this is the way we believe, and we
kind of like it.
We have with the pancreas an organ that has to be treated correctly or it will go
into disuse and it will not make up the insulins and things that are used in
metabolism. And so we want to use the right diet and plenty of water. But when
we once get the pancreas in good condition, and keep it there, it can give us long
life. We can live as long as we want. Because if the pancreas is in good condition,
you‟ve got sense enough to keep the rest of your body in good condition too. And
there isn‟t a time limit. Any doctor that says “you‟ve got three days to live.
You‟ve got a year. I don‟t think you will pass seven years.” He‟s taking deity
upon himself, because the scriptures say again “everything moves in its time and
season. There is an hour to be born and an hour to die.” And only the good Lord
himself knows the time when you are to come and go.
65
We had many cases where people say “can you give us some help? Get rid of some
of the pain? This person is supposed to be dead tomorrow morning. They say he
can‟t live more than 24 hours and tomorrow morning is the deadline, but the pain
is awful.”
I say “well, I don‟t know if they‟ll live „til tomorrow or they might die tonight. I
don‟t know. They may live for 20 years. But if we could take the pain away. If
they could live for 48 hours we‟ll see if the pain is gone. And then if they go on
living, fine.”
Well, some of these people who were supposed to die tomorrow are still alive
today, after 20, 30 years. But oh we‟ve been thrown in jail and arrested for some
that didn‟t come through, too, that actually died though we took the pain away
from them. Instead of dying in a couple of 3 days they lived for many months with
no pain, and happy every day they lived. But when they died some of the
neighbors swore out a suit against me. Yes. So we believe anytime that we can
help another individual, let‟s do it. If we‟re brave enough. [laughter]
The pancreas, being one of the many glands in the body, if it‟s taken care of in this
way, can last you for life.
We are now going into another subject, which is the subject of nerves. Hmm,
everybody‟s starts writing now. We‟ve got a condition here that we have brought
onto ourselves in many cases. Because the sheaf of the nerve has become worn
away, eaten away. Because the very calcium in it has been leached off with the
sugars we have had in our drinks. The sugars in our candies, in our pastries. The
many breads that we eat that turn to sugars. And the nerves become debilitated,
come to a point where they have lost their power, their energy, they have lost any
help that we would desire to get from them, and they are practically worthless.
Because of this we wind up in the asylum.
When we find ourselves a nervous wreck, we wonder why the Lord has done this
too us. We blame him, or the devil, for everything, and we forget to think about all
that cake we ate last week, or something else. The nerves actually become so
frayed and worn out, they are like electric wires up in the attic that swing back and
forth and rub up against each other, and finally they short out. And that‟s what
happens to our nerves. Course, along about time of a big jangle or an argument the
nerves become more irritated.
66
We have to think about feeding them. They have gone hungry for a long, long
time. And they have been robbed of the foods that‟s in them. So we want to take
care of an herbal formula now that will rebuild those nerves.
Let me give you just a case of how well this works. We were called out close to
midnight one night on a house call, for a school teacher that was teaching at the
East High in Salt Lake City, and they had already had the papers to sign up to send
her to the asylum. Because she was impossible to live with, and she was teaching
across the street at the East High, and her students – it got to a the point where they
couldn‟t tolerate her anymore. She was just a nervous wreck. She would sleep
maybe twenty minutes, a half hour maximum, and then she‟d be up walking the
floor, pacing back and forth. Insomnia, severe. And it had gone on year after year
after year. So now they were going to put her in the asylum. And she was ready to
go. She was just about fed up with life itself.
So they called to see if I could do something. She had kept the family awake for
nights now, walking the floor, while she was walking they kept awake. And I had
some of this tea that I‟m going to tell you about. A combination of a number of
herbs here. And had I told them on the phone when they called to have some hot
water ready for me. And I took a teaspoon of the herbs – they were cut herbs that I
was using. This was years ago, and poured some boiling water over it, set the
saucer on top, just let it steep while we talked. And when it was cool enough she
could drink, strained it and gave it to her. She sipped it and we talked, and in a few
minutes she got a little drowsy, and said “well, I‟m getting my customary twenty
minutes sleep now so I‟ll go in and lie down. If you‟d like to stay I‟ll talk to you
when I get back up.”
Her husband said “Yes, she‟ll be back up in twenty minutes, half hour at the most.”
I said “no, I‟m going along. And if you have any problems, call me.” The next
morning at around eight o‟clock I got a phone call. The man screamed over the
phone “Dr Christopher, you‟re a liar!”
And I said “oops, oops, wait just a minute. What‟s all this about?”
Well he said. “You were at my house last night and you guaranteed and promised
that what you were giving my wife had no narcotic effect and was not a drug in
any way. Why, she went in when you were there to lie down and it‟s eight o‟clock
and I‟ve got to waken her now. She slept all night long. The first time she‟s done
67
that in years. She‟s going to be late for school! I think it was horrible of you to
give her dope, and disguise it as herbs!”
I said, “Sir, what I gave you, you can give to a small infant. It is nothing but God‟s
own herbs.”
He said, “Alright, I apologize.”
Well, he shook me up. I was awake for the rest of the day, I promise you, because
that was really a little abrasive. But you know, that woman never went to the
asylum, and she learned to live a normal life. But we also told her the foods that
she should eat to keep those nerves in good condition. Because the mucusless diet,
fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, are the original foods, that will keep those
nerves built properly, to where they will be for full efficiency.
Here, let me give you the herbs that we use, please. These herbs are black cohosh,
cayenne, (it‟s equal parts of all of these), hops, that‟s the flowers of the hops,
lady‟s slipper, lobelia, skullcap, valerian, wood betony, mistletoe. These herbs are
all of a nervine type. Some of them are a little on the anti-spasmodic type, some of
them are herbs that will go to a specific part of the body, just like, for instance,
your black cohosh is one of herbs that feed the motor nerves. Or your skullcap will
feed the spinal cord. Your hops will feed back the sheaf and put some calcium
back in. And all of these herbs, each of them have their own specific job to do.
And as you‟ll notice, we always slip a little cayenne in there for good measure. A
good stimulant that makes these herbs really go to work and stimulates the cell
structure so the cells will accept the herbs and use them as they should.
Well, here we have a combination of herbs that can be used by any age group. It
can be used in tablets or capsules, or can be in tea. But it works. The herbs
individually, each of them are good. But when we put them together in a
combination that we have like this one, they are a real food. It is not too bad
tasting, either. Of course my wife says as much cayenne as I use, you can‟t trust
my taste buds. But we‟ve had other people tell me too. But it isn‟t too bad a
tasting tea.
We had some English people that would come into our shop, and they would buy
so much nerve tea. And I said “Gentlemen, you buy a lot of nerve tea. You seem
such quiet folks.”
And he says “oh, we like it better than Lipton‟s.”
68
And so they thought it had a better taste than Lipton‟s tea did. But I‟ll tell you
something, it was sure a lot better for them. You see, in our herbal program there
are three types of herbs – I want to keep repeating this – we do not use. We do not
use toxic herbs. We do not use poisonous herbs. And we do not use habit-forming
herbs. Habit-forming herbs are any strong herbs, a strong drink, a tea or a drink
that would make you crave more after you have had it over a period of time. Now
I‟m talking about teas. These are mild herbal teas. The scriptures say for those
who cannot be healed by faith, nourish them with herbs, and mild food. Alright,
mild food can be food in liquid or solid state.
So we keep away from anything that is habit-forming, and this tea is not habitforming. Even though you like it, you don‟t crave it.
We, often times in rebuilding these nerves, find that there are other things that we
have to work along with to give us complete satisfaction, for quiet nerves. And
one of them is to keep away from synthetic clothes. Synthetic clothes – you wish
you hadn‟t come now, because there goes your wardrobe. But really it may pay off
for you, because these are synthetic, and we should stay with natural fibers.
Cotton, wool, linen, silk, camelhair, any natural fibers. I saw an article in the paper
the other day, how great it was to have silk. Well, the man-made manufacturing
companies pulled us away from the silk. Said they had something far superior in
man-made polyesters and synthetics. And so we got away from the silk market,
but here is one of the longest wearing materials, but one of the highest vibrating
materials that you could ever ask for.
The silk itself comes from mulberry leaves, and goes through the body of a
silkworm. And it‟s organic going into a live structure. And as that is spun out,
that silk is pure, organic, live material. The most precious that we can get. Your
wool is good, the cotton is good, any of these. But try to stay with these. We are
very serious about doing this. You will find that they have changed some of the
panty-hose today, I understand, because they have had so much trouble. There is
the itch, where you can‟t scratch in public. Excuse me my technical terminology
again. But this comes from the fact that your synthetics will not let the oxygen in
and not let the moisture out. And so you have a condition that‟s man-made here.
So, here we go back again to cotton, linen, wool and silk, and get rid of that.
This will help the nervous system, because you will find many people say “Ugh,
there‟s certain clothes that I wear, that I just get so nervous when I put them on.”
69
These are synthetics again, and it‟s something you should sheer away from. Keep
away from these type of clothes.
We have another thing: hot and cold baths. This is very important to keep the body
clean, so that we re-oxygenate the body, and the skin can breathe. Course if we
have the skin all clogged up with being covered with nylon, it won‟t breathe
anyhow too good. But we can at least help it a little bit. There is one more thing
for the nerves, and that is in addition to taking this herbal tea.
Now these you mix together. It‟s one part of each and a teaspoon to a cup of the
mixed teas. Or a double-ought capsule. A couple of those will equal a teaspoon or
a couple of seven grain tablets. If you want to press them into tablets you can do
that. This is all good, but we sometimes need a little additional help.
I remember a man down in southern Utah that had been walking the floor. He was
an elderly man. At one of the lectures he came to me and was very, very happy,
because now he was sleeping every night. And he had had insomnia for years.
And one of his sons had heard our lectures about going bare-footed at night for a
few minutes before bed-time, and walking bare-footed on the lawn, or out on the
grass. Grassy slopes if you have them, otherwise on the dirt. And it would give
relief. Well, this old gentleman, he was kind of bull-headed, and he said “I‟m not
taking off my shoes and stockings and go out, even in the dark, out in public!” But
one night his son just grabbed his feet and unlaced his shoes, and took his shoes
and socks off and waltzed him right out to the garden, and took him over to the
lawn area and said “come on, let‟s walk back and forth. I want to talk to you.”
So they walked on the lawn. And after they‟d talked there for about five, ten
minutes, the old gentleman said “I‟m getting a little bit drowsy. I think I‟ll go in.”
He conked out and slept all night long. First time for a long time. And you may
wonder why such a simple thing would help. The reason is that he had static
electricity in his body, which static electricity was affecting the nervous system.
In the top of the head we have, when we are born, a soft spot, which is the opening
to the third eye. And as that closes up, the opening is still available so that the
spirit of prana, universal mind, the power of God, can come through this in the top
of the head. But it‟ll go on down the spine and into the chakras and distribute itself
through the whole body. And this electricity we live on, and this electricity
operates our organs, actually. This electricity is excellent as long as it‟s fresh and
free-flowing. As it comes in the top of the head and down the spine and down the
legs it is to be grounded out into the earth, and a fresh supply continually coming
70
in. Always being grounded out. When we do this, we have a free flow, but if we
do not let the electricity out and grounded into the earth, then it becomes static.
And that static electricity accumulates in the body and the toxic electricity gets so
high, the static condition is so heavy in the body, that new electricity can‟t come
in. And now we can‟t sleep, we can‟t – well, we‟re just hard to live with.
This is important, that each day we spend some time out on the ground or on the
lawn, and walk around to get rid of some of the static electricity that is in our body.
This should be a daily job to do.
Deep breathing is good for the nerves, as it is for the rest of your body.
Now as far as your nerves are concerned, we have another condition that
sometimes bothers us, and that is we have a little trouble with light-headedness or
dizziness. Our nerves seem to get a little to a point where we wonder if anything
can be done for us. Sometimes we go into seizures, and this is a nervous condition,
and we‟ve used this tea over the years for this.
Over the years we have worked with many, many epileptics, and we‟ve had very
excellent success with them, bringing them back to normal life again. We had a
young boy brought to us from Paige, Arizona, that we just couldn‟t get any results
at all. And it was the first time it ever happened to me. And after they had gone
back to the motel I sat down at my desk and I said “Lord, I‟d like to help this boy.
I need something. It‟s different. I‟ve never had a case like this. I need a formula.”
And one flooded down to me and this is the formula that was given to me at that
time.
Equal parts of black cohosh, blue cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap and lobelia. Make
a tincture of these five herbs, and that was it. I went right out to the lab and made
up the tincture immediately, and the first day we used it on the boy, we got results.
It was amazing. We put it into his ears –in applying to the ear area we always use
oil of garlic first, because the oil of garlic will kill any infection that‟s there. And
then we followed it up with an eyedropper with, oh, three to six drops of the
tincture. So I put into his ears, I rubbed the back of his neck with it, gave him six
to ten drops in a little water, three to six times a day, and he got immediate results.
Well, they took the boy back to Paige, Arizona, and one of the children in the
family got the earache. So the mother tried this tincture in the child‟s ear and it
cleared the earache. And a man standing there, hearing aids in both ears, and he
said “well, if it helps that child‟s ears maybe it‟ll help my ears!” And people had to
71
shout at him with hearing aids in both ears. And so he started using it. Months
went by. He threw a hearing aid away. And then months went by and he threw the
other hearing aid away, and he could hear a whisper across the room. Now this
was an incurable condition, because that nerve loss is never supposed to come back
again.
But, you know what, he was cleared. And since that time the word has spread, and
there have been hundreds of people throw their hearing aids away. Thanks to this
wonderful formula on nerves.
Well, one of this man‟s close friends said, “Humm, it‟s done so much for your
hearing, I‟ve got a sore on the side of my nose. It was taken off some time ago,
and they found out that it was malignant. They said they got all the feelers and it
would never come back again. But it‟s back, and now they want to take off part of
my nose and part of my cheek.” And he said “Nah, I‟m going to try something
else. I‟m going to try your tincture. Every day I would massage it on a number of
times a day, and at night I would soak a little piece of gauze and put it over it and
tape it on. A couple of months went by and the sore was all gone, and it‟s never
come back again.”
And another fellow tried it on his hand where he had a condition the same,
between the thumb and forefinger, and a registered nurse in Joseph, Arizona, had
cancer of the breast, and she tried it, and instead of having a mammectomy she
cleared the breast condition. Of course she went on the mucusless diet and
followed the program along. We can‟t say that everybody can be healed this way,
no, but gosh, it‟s worth a try. But so many people have had this wonderful
experience of seeing the healing of this combination of tincture, herbal
combinations in this tincture.
And one day a lady came to me and she had hiccups. And she had had this
problem for days and it was getting so bad they were afraid she was going to
rupture some veins or arteries. It was getting severe. Nothing would stop it. I
happened to have a little bottle of this tincture and I said “let‟s just try this.” And
we put three or four drops on her tongue.
And she said “Ah!”
I said “what happened?”
72
And she said, “I felt it from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet! Just as
fast as sound it travelled through me. The hiccups are gone.” And it works just
that fast.
This is an herbal formula that I can brag about. I tell the world about it. The Lord
gave it to me. You know, it wasn‟t one that I made up, and so I can be very, very
pleased in saying “praise the Lord” because he‟s done this a number of times. And
it has helped a lot of people.
Let‟s take some time for some questions. Yes?
Question: What kind of hearing problems would not respond to this kind of
treatment?
Doctor Christopher: Hearing problems where an individual has been in the gun
blast, or something of this type, where the ears have been completely ruptured. We
have a question there. I‟ve never had any that haven‟t been helped. But I‟m just
saying we don‟t use the liquid in the ears if the ear drum has been broken. There
we would first want to put a comfrey poultice, or the bone, flesh and cartilage
combination, that we will talk about later, over that area to see that that part is
healed up before we would apply it. So those would be the types.
Question: If the tincture and the oil of garlic don‟t seem to go down into the ear,
there‟s still a lot on the outer part and they don‟t seem to go in, maybe there‟s a
blockage, what‟s been your experience with this?
Doctor Christopher: At times the ear‟s full of wax, and it will cause it to stop. But
it will penetrate on through as long as it gets in the outer part it will penetrate in.
But after you‟ve used it long enough you‟ll see every seventh day after you‟ve
used this – you use it at night, put it in and plug the ears with cotton at night, leave
it in, and the next day take it out, and on the seventh day you flush the ears with
warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water, using a little ear syringe. The ear
that you‟re flushing out, hold it down so that you‟re not using pressure against it.
But we wouldn‟t do any of this with the ruptured ear drum.
Question: Have you seen it take quite some time before, if there is wax, there
appears to be wax, for it to be dissolved and come out.
Doctor Christopher: With some people it comes out quite quickly. In the army I
had a soldier that had become stone deaf, and they figured maybe he just wanted to
73
get out of the army and didn‟t want to hear. And he had his back to me and I
yelled “chow time!” and he never even turned around. And I knew he was deaf,
because he was one of those eaters. And so I started to work on him. At that time
I couldn‟t use my herbs. Later I did, but at this time I used sweet oil, which is
olive oil, and I put it into his ears for three days. And then I flushed his ears with
diluted hydrogen peroxide. And I didn‟t say a word to him, but when I flushed his
ears, out of one of them a big chunk of wax came out with a full-sized bee that had
gone into his ear and had died there, and the wax had covered it and preserved it.
And he had lived with that bee in his ear. And in the other ear there was weed
seeds and hay leaves and stuff, and it was waxed over too. Well, we got this
cleaned out and he sat there with his back to me and I was taking a towel to dry his
ears and I said “how‟s it feel, soldier? Can you hear all right?”
And he said “don‟t scream at me!” He clapped his hands over his ears. Alright, his
hearing was back completely. So sometimes it takes longer than with others to get
that wax out, but here I did it in three days.
Question: Doctor Christopher, could you give us the proportions on the last two
combinations you gave us?
Doctor Christopher: Equal parts of each. And now on this last one I gave you, on
the tinctures, I sat down one day to find out what it was the good Lord had given to
me. I couldn‟t imagine why it would do such an amazing lot of things. And as I
analyzed it I found out that the blue cohosh, the black cohosh, the blue vervain are
all herbs for the motor nerve. And the motor nerve controls all the nerves in the
body. Skullcap is to rebuild the spinal cord. And the lobelia is the accentuator.
Question: How do you make this tincture? Do you use the vinegar with it, or
water?
Doctor Christopher: No, with these, like your black cohosh has oils in it, so your
vinegar wouldn‟t draw it out. And the tincture is made with alcohol. Ninety proof
alcohol. You use four ounces of the combined herbs with a pint of ninety proof or
better alcohol. And it has to be put into a larger bottle than will hold a pint, of
course, and shake it each day, several times a day, for fourteen days. And on the
fourteenth day it is drained off and filtered so there‟s no solids in it, and bottled.
And it‟ll keep for many, many years. This tincture will not spoil, as long as the air
can not get to it, it will not dissolve.
74
Question: Will this program help a condition where there seems to be very little
wax in the ear, and what is there is dry and rather hard, flakey?
Doctor Christopher: Wax is a healthy condition. We should have wax. Alright,
this will go in and help rebuild the area. Of course, with any of these we go back
to the diet again. If they‟re going to be eating Twinkies and junk food, it‟s not
going to do much good, because we work on the effect, and not the cause. And the
effect will come back again.
Question: Is it dangerous for a layperson to syringe their own ears out?
Doctor Christopher: With a small earsyringe, and as I say holding the head over,
so that the ear you‟re flushing out is down, then you won‟t get heavy pressure.
You don‟t use a big syringe and a lot of pressure. Yes, it is safe to use.
Question: What kind of alcohol would you use for the tincture?
Doctor Christopher: Well, anything that‟s ninety proof. You could go to the liquor
store and get – I‟m not a drinking man – ninety proof vodka, as long as it‟s a grain
vodka. Or you can get Teacher‟s or Four Roses – I see these advertised – as long
as they‟re ninety proof. Or if you could get Everclear, which I don‟t think you can
get here in this state, is a two hundred proof I think. That would be very potent.
Question: You wouldn‟t use denatured alcohol?
Doctor Christopher: Never, under any condition. I only used it once in all of my
years of practice. And this was in an emergency, and only for external use at that
time. No, that‟s the only time I‟ve ever used it. We are against that entirely.
Question: Doctor Christopher, are there any fever reducing, treating herbs that are
in our own area that could be used, such as the one you quoted, the Chinchona tree
bark?
Doctor Christopher: Oh, definitely so. You‟re quaking aspen bark, which is called
white poplar. The quaking aspen inner bark will do the same thing, and it‟s right
in your own backyard. And it‟s cheaper to get. But always, with these barks, it‟s
always good to dry the barks before you use them, except in an emergencies.
Because sometimes they are a little on the acid side, so just to take the chance. But
75
this is excellent for fevers. There are many things that will take down fevers, but
that is one that is so handy and right in our own neighborhood.
Question: With a hypoglycemic person, occasionally goldenseal causes them to
have a loss of energy. Is there another herb that we could use?
Doctor Christopher: Well, with the small amount we got in the combination we
gave you, it‟ll have no effect. As I say, goldenseal works beautifully if it is in the
combination of other herbs. But when it‟s used in an isolated condition, in large
amounts, that‟s the only time you‟ve got to be scared of it. Vialva. An old, old
remedy for women‟s complaints. Goes back years. None of you are old enough to
remember about Vialva, just me. But this was high in goldenseal, but it had other
thing with it, and did miraculous things. In a number of our formulas we have
goldenseal, but it‟s in one ninth, or one eighth, or one twelfth part, and so minute,
but it works like a… This is the difference: Goldenseal alone is coloratura
soprano, and it stands out. But when it‟s working with the others it‟s modified,
and it‟s like a good choral group.
Question: One other question about hypoglycemia. Could the person take a
cleanse with the juices, when fruit juices seem to…
Doctor Christopher: I‟m glad you asked that. Yes, that is a good question because
many people say when they have diabetes or hypoglycemia “oh, I take a drink of
juice and it upsets me right now. I go into a reaction, or…” If they would chew
that juice, swish it in the mouth and get the saliva mixed with it, it will change the
PH factor and make it so that instead of just being accepted, it will be assimilated,
with no damage. And they can drink it by the quart. We‟ve had cases of 85, 90,
95 units of insulin a day, using this amount, and yet they can go on a three day
cleanse using apple juice or one of the other juices, with no bad effect at all, which
just by chewing it.
Question: I wanted to make a personal comment too. I had a personal example of
using the cedar berries. We didn‟t have the combination, but we knew the cedar
berries were good. So she would sprinkle the cedar berries on her cereal, she put it
in her salads, she used it every way imaginable. And within about nine months
time she went completely off of insulin. But when she got away from this mild
food – mucusless diet, it came back.
Doctor Christopher: It came back. Of course it would. This is what I say. We‟re
going into the cause, and the cause of the whole thing is the diet. Alright, and so
76
what we‟re using the cedar berry combination for is to work on the effect and clear
up a specific organ. But we‟ve got to work with the overall body in conjunction, to
get full success.

Lecture No. 6 Diuretics – Skin -- Pregnancy
We‟re going to talk now on another subject which is very important to the human
body, and that is the plumbing system. These are the diuretics. The system of
getting liquids through the system, of the body with a good, clean flow. The
internal toxic condition can be mild to moderate in the body, and we have in this
condition sometimes severity that frightens us when we cannot urinate, or when we
urinate too freely, or have no control over it. Because of this we want to go into
some of the aids.
We just talked about juniper berries for the kidneys. Let me show you how this
does work. We‟ve gone on calls a number of times where people could not void
their urine, and one very outstanding case was a young lady who had not been able
to void her urine for three days, and this could be extremely painful, but also a
killer because the uremic poisoning accumulation could eventually be a killer.
And she was lying on the floor screaming when I went in on this house call, with
such horrible pains. We had told them to have hot water ready. We put some
juniper berries, this is the regular juniper berry with the three seeds or seven seed
in. And made the tea. When it was cool enough for her to drink, propped her up
and she took a couple of swallows of it and, all of a sudden, came out of that curled
up fetus position that she was in, in horrible pain, straightened out, smiled, stood
up and went into the bathroom and urinated. It was that fast.
This is a very valuable herb to have at home. You should never be without it,
because you can‟t tell when a person is going to run into these troubles. But, we
have another problem sometimes that works with this and that is stones. Kidney
stones. These accumulate very often in the human body, and they are a little on the
dangerous side because they can cut you to pieces. If they don‟t, a knife can. And
when that kidney is removed, you aren‟t as healthy a person as when you had two
kidneys. When you‟re trying to put all the load on one, it‟s a little rough.
So let‟s keep this body clean and clear. When you stop to just think, the urethral
track, going from the kidney down to the bladder, is so delicate that you could take
your fingernails and pinch it in two, and yet there‟ll be enough water or liquids go
through that delicate tube, if you live to be fifty or sixty years old, enough liquid to
fill three large tank cars on the railroad track. That‟s a lot of liquid. And through a
delicate little tube like that – only the good Lord could make anything that could
stand that kind of abuse. If we put pure juices and liquids through it would be
wonderful, but what do we put through? Nyeh! Oh, the horrible merchandise that
78
goes through the system, in the form of soda pops, Cokes, they are all vicious as
far as causing diabetic problems, causing a loss of calcium in the body, but they‟re
so damaging to this diuretic system.
We have now another thing for the stones that‟s accumulated there that‟s very
good. This is called a solvent solution, and it‟s made with taking two ounces of
hydrangea root. Hydrangea root is like the beautiful flower, the hydrangeas that
grow out in your garden. The root from these, yes, beautiful big ones. The root,
two ounces of the dried root, in a quart of apple juice. Now this isn‟t vinegar. This
is just apple juice or apple cider. This is a confusing thing, whether it‟s apple juice
or apple cider. In most places where they run out of apple juice labels they put the
apple cider label on, because when we used to make apple cider, as a kid, from our
own press, as soon as it poured out from the apples we called it apple cider. So
apple juice, in other words, is not fermented. That‟s all we‟re getting at.
We let this set now for three days in a cool place. And after the three days we then
warm it up to a low simmer. Don‟t let it boil, just a very low simmer, for ten
minutes. And then keep it in a warm place for a full day. Now if you wish to have
this prepared and on hand at any time, to this add eight ounces of vegetable
glycerin, your pure vegetable glycerin, and this will preserve it. But you do this
after it‟s strained, of course. After it‟s strained, whether you have the glycerin in it
or not, you use it in the dosage of two ounces at a time. It‟s called a wine glass, an
English wine glass, that‟s two ounces. And you will finish off this quart in a day,
keeping an hour between your two ounces. If the day isn‟t long enough take it a
little more often, on the half hour. But this will dissolve stones anywhere in the
body. It‟s best to do while you‟re on your three day cleanse. And use this at the
same time, in conjunction with it.
If there is a case where stones are passing, and they are hard and cutting, then
always use marshmallow root tea. Marshmallow root is a demulcent and an
emollient, and it‟s soft and smooth, and it will let the stones go out comfortably.
We have times when people have what is called incontinence, or enuresis. This
incontinence is when they cannot control the urine flow. Here could be because of
a weak bladder or other problems, and so we have an herbal combination that we
have used over the years to help people with this condition. And people have used
this that have been in old folks homes, that have had to isolate themselves because
they couldn‟t estimate how long it would take them to get to the bathroom, and
they would void on the way. And they would be so embarrassed that finally they
79
wouldn‟t even mix with other people. After using this over a period of time they
have been taken care of all right.
This is the combination of herbs that we use. Juniper berries – now these are all
equal parts – parsley herb, preferably the root here, uva ursi, marshmallow root,
lobelia, ginger and the goldenseal. Now I could give you all your botanical names
on this, like Hydrastis canadensis and all of this, but we prefer staying with the
common names and if you have a problem you can look up the technical name.
And it will save us time. These are equal parts. You can put them into capsules or
make them into tablets, or make it into a tea. If it‟s made into capsules, then you
would use two of them three times a day. That‟s an adult dose. And take it with
parsley tea.
While we‟re on that dosage question, we generally figure a full adult dose is twelve
years and up. A half adult dose would be eight to twelve years. From four to eight
years is one fourth adult dose.
With this particular formula here, it has aided many young people who are going
into a severe state of shock because they are bed-wetters. And this is a very sad
thing and it‟s becoming nation-wide. You even see ads in the paper of diapers for
young people and for adults. In fact the diaper companies for senior people are
moving a lot of diapers, because we have not lived the way we should, we have
eaten improperly and we get the weakness in this area. But here you‟ll find you‟ll
get good results. It takes longer with some people than it does with others. Just
remember this.
Supposing you have a condition of dropsy. This is also in the diuretic routine.
Dropsy is very severe in cases, and my mother died of dropsy, and swelled up so
big it was sad – they couldn‟t keep the water out of her. And it went from there on
into gangrene and so forth. It was a very painful thing. And I‟m grateful now that
we can help other people.
But the way you take care of this is to take parsley root, and make it into a tea
using one ounce to the pint. An ounce of the parsley root to the pint of distilled
water. We do this with enough quantity now that we can do the job, make up a
gallon of it or so, a couple of gallons of it. And then we simmer it down to one
half its original amount. Coming down to one half its original amount makes it a
three-power tea. We strain it before simmering it down. And with the finished tea,
we‟ll take a quart of it – in other words, about a fourth of it, if you want to make
different amounts – and the other three fourths, we will add to that some vegetable
80
glycerin again. One fourth the amount, up to one half, whatever amount you‟ve
got handy. In other words, if you‟ve got a gallon of the tea, you‟d either use a
quart of glycerin, or up to two quarts. One fourth or half. The glycerin is also very
medicinal, the vegetable glycerin, and quite an aid for this.
The tea that we have taken out, without the glycerin being added to it, we give this
a half a cup at a time, every half hour. The individual is to stay on distilled water
and juices. The tea that is now combined with the glycerin is brought up so that it
is at good heat, and dip flannel into it, and cover the swollen areas with the flannel.
And continue to change it as it would get cool, putting toweling over it, of course.
And continue this on for thirty minutes, and then five minutes cold application,
with regular cold tap water. And then thirty minutes again with your hot parsley
root.
If while you‟re doing this, and the swelling is large, you‟ll peek underneath the
flannel, at times you‟ll be able to see little springs of water coming out of the
pores, just like a little spring flowing out. This will be how fast it will start taking
that water out. And it has saved many lives. This is an excellent combination.
We will go onto another subject. We have so much ground to cover, we won‟t
take more time now. But if you have any questions, when we come to the
questions period of this tape you can ask at that time.
We now come to skin diseases. Skin diseases are frightening things. They are
rather persistent at times too. But they all stem from a common cause. A toxic
condition within the body. And all skin diseases is from toxicity. So we‟ve got to
work from the inside, but as we work from the inside we also will work on the
outside too, to speed it up.
Once in a while, just to be a little dogmatic, we have changed this course. I
remember in Evanston, Wyoming, where I practiced there as a naturopathic
physician, a big German fellow brought a young girl in about 16 years old. She
had a horrible case of dermatitis. It was ptyriasias or psoriasis, some type of it, it
was from her elbows down and her knees down and her neck up. And it was heavy
scales. It was a horrible looking thing. Secondary infection, bleeding. And he
said, “I want you to give this girl something to clear up. I want you to give her
some salve.” And I knew it was a toxic condition.
And I said “sir, we have ointments but I would rather work from the inside and
clean her body out. And heal it properly.”
81
“Come on, kid, let‟s go!” And he was a big old German farmer, and I don‟t think
anybody had ever spoken up to him, ever before, and this girl said “father, please,
you‟ve drug me all over the United States and nobody‟s done me any good. Let‟s
listen to what he has to say.”
And the gentleman turned around, and his mouth fell open, and he looked at that
girl. She had spoken right up to him, first time in her life. But it was her body. He
says, “Well, for heaven‟s sake, alright, go ahead what is it?”
So we put her on the three day cleanse, the mucusless diet, without any exterior
application at all, and within six weeks time – after all these years of suffering –
she was clear. Within six weeks. That‟s all it took. And it tapered of gradually.
Within the week the scaling had stopped, and even the scars were healed within six
weeks time. We‟ve had „em do it a lot faster than this, but in this particular case
she had so much toxic condition in her body. The way they ate, it must have been
pretty rough.
We had a lady come to us. She said, “I‟ve come here and this is an emergency.
Our fourteen year old daughter tried to commit suicide this morning.” She‟s been
out of school for a full year, and she had the same type of a condition, very severe
dermatitis. And she‟d quit going to school, going out into public at all, and now
she was just eating herself to death, had bloated up so big. She‟d tried to commit
suicide. “What can you do? Please tell me. Something that will help her in a
hurry. I‟ve got a couple of women sitting with her now, to keep her from being
unsavory.”
And here I was with my back up against the wall again. And I can‟t make up
formulas. I‟m supposedly one of America‟s best herbalists, but I‟m not that good.
I just couldn‟t make it that fast, and I said, “Please, Father, I need some help.” And
he gave it to me. And I said, “Write this down.”
And this is what I gave them: six parts of oak bark, three parts of marshmallow
root, three parts of mullein herb, two parts of wormwood, one part lobelia, one part
skullcap, six parts of comfrey root, three parts of walnut bark, or leaves, three parts
of gravel root. And I said “mix these up together, and use an ounce of the
combined herbs to each pint of distilled water. Make it up as fast as you can. Give
her a cup of this every two hours, and concentrate some of it down to one half its
original amount and use it as fomentations, soaking the flannel in it, fomentations
82
over the areas that are infected. And keep that on continually until the healing
comes.
Now in a condition like this, if it‟s the legs and arms, you can use cotton or wool
white hosiery, and soak that as your flannel, and pull that over it, and then put
plastic or toweling over this. And keep it wet.
This was on a Tuesday morning, and by Friday afternoon we saw the case, and the
scales were gone, and the healing was in motion. And I saw the girl six months
later, when we went back to the city, and she was healed. And she had lost her
weight and was now with the cheering team for the high school football squad. It
was quite a thriller to see here a girl ready to commit suicide, and this is enough to
drive you to it. And here the healing.
But taking it internally and externally. And of course we had her use her gallon of
water a day. She was large enough of a girl to do this. A gallon of distilled water
each day, and staying on the mucusless diet.
Common, easy skin diseases like eczema, just a single herb will oft times take care
of this. An herb called chickweed. Chickweed is a sweet little herb that is so soft
and tender, but winds up around your garden and you have a hard time prying it
loose. And we use some unusual language with it sometimes, as delicate and
sweet as it is. But if you‟ve got an excess of it, dry it and harvest it, because it‟s
valuable to have around.
A lady came into our room where we were lecturing, came up to the podium and
unwrapped a bundle, and in the bundle was a baby about six months old. This
baby had been born, if you can imagine, with eczema, from the top of its head to
the bottom of its feet. Its entire body was covered with eczema the day it was
born. The pediatrician, the family doctor, the dermatologist, the specialist they‟d
brought in, could give that child no help at all. Secondary infection with bleeding
through. And that poor little crying child, all over its face, every bit of its body.
And her mother said “what can I use? I‟ve come to you as a last resort.” You
know, folks, this is the way it does work. It‟s a little like baptism; the water can‟t
hurt you that might save you. The herbs can‟t hurt you, and they might do the job.
So, they gambled on it and came.
I told her to make up some gallons of chickweed tea, and put the baby in a
bathanet, and fill that bathanet with warm chickweed tea. And I said if the baby
isn‟t completely covered, if its head is of course sticking out, why, take a ladle and
83
baste the baby with the tea, you know. OK so it‟s all thoroughly covered. And do
this three or more times a day. I asked her if she was nursing the baby and she said
yes, and I said alright, then, drink quarts of chickweed tea so the tea will come
through with the milk. And, if the baby wants a little water, something of that
type, give it chickweed tea. And in two weeks time this baby was cleared. All the
scale was gone, after six months of suffering this way. A simple herb like
chickweed. It is terrific.
You know, the Lord‟s been so kind to us. He gives us these herbs out in our own
backyard, and what we‟re trying to do now is teach you these common herbs so
that when the times get a little rough – because they‟re going to get rough, I
promise you. This is only the beginning. The rails will be rusty and there will be
no shipping. There will be the stopping of manufacturing. Your drugs will not be
able to be shipped. And when a critical time comes, you‟re either going to depend
on the herbs in your own back yard and in your neighborhood or those you‟ve
stored up and in readiness. Or you‟re going to watch your loved ones die. You
have a chance now to get yourself in readiness, because we‟re in the last years
before that millennium comes in, and those years aren‟t very many. But we‟ve got
to be prepared for it.
Skin diseases must be worked from the inside, and this is your diet again.
Sometimes it takes longer with some people. Of course here we have, in the
dermatitis, something that is a little different from acne and boils. But it all comes
from the same thing again: the bloodstream. Which we talked about it in one of
the other tapes.
Let‟s go to another subject now, which I think is an extremely important one. This
is the one on pregnancy. Now you ladies, some of you here, feel that you‟re
wasting your time because you‟re past that stage. But you have children and you
have grandchildren and you have nieces. But also remember that Sarah was eighty
five when she got her first baby. So don‟t get too uppish about this thing. Alright.
In preparing for having a baby, this shouldn‟t be after conception. This should be
long before. Getting that body in a healed condition, both the male and the female.
We try to blame everything on the poor woman, anything that happens. If the baby
isn‟t just perfect, it‟s the mother‟s fault because she‟s the one that had it. But if
you‟ll just stop to think, you watch someone go down the street. They‟re at a
distance but you know they‟re from a certain family because they have a certain
walk, or a certain hump, or a certain limp. Their grandpa has it and their uncles
84
have it. Alright, it comes from the father‟s line. So let‟s take the blame for both
men and women. Let‟s get that body cleared up.
This stems from – right – the basics of food and liquid, as we‟ve talked about
before. But if we have a specific area in the body that‟s weak, here we‟ll want to
do something about it. Maybe the sperm count in the man isn‟t high enough that
they can have a baby. Alright, in this case we would recommend a teaspoon of a
specific herb called false unicorn. Taken morning and night for both the husband
and the wife, six days a week. Everything is on a six day basis. False unicorn.
They should both use wheat germ oil, a tablespoon minimum three times a day.
And both should be on as much live food as possible, but with a mucusless diet:
fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. And not cooked to death.
These are the principles of getting a perfect body. We have now conception. And
the baby must be thought of in many ways. Not the selfishness of the individuals
having the baby. If the mother is wise that is carrying this baby, she will use red
raspberry leaf tea in large amounts, because this is high in calcium, it is high in the
hormones and estrogens, it is high in the acids needed in the body. This is a
precious and a very valuable tea. She should have it every day, six days a week,
the entire nine months. It will help allay nausea also. It will do many things
besides helping the baby to come.
Another thing that the mother should be using, and lots of it, is an organic type of
calcium. Here we will have calcium made from vegetation, which is a very good
one. Six parts of horsetail grass, four parts comfrey root, three parts of oat straw,
and one part of lobelia. Now this can be made into a tea, or it can be powdered and
made into capsules, or made into tablets, but use plenty of it because this is feeding
two bodies now – the mother and the baby.
The mother often times complains to the good Lord and says, “I‟m trying to be a
good girl. I‟m having a baby and yet what are you doing? You‟re giving me
varicose veins and I‟m losing my teeth. That isn‟t fair!” Well, let‟s blame
ourselves, because the Lord is not interested in that which is producing but in that
which is being produced. So everything that is in the mother is going to be drained
out to supply as good a baby as can be. It‟s always a step up if we work it right.
And so the veins become thin, and we have a varicose condition because the
calcium is being taken into the fetus to feed it. The very teeth are being drained
out to help supply that baby. But it need not be if you‟ll use this calcium formula
that we‟ve just given you.
85
We see so many little children today, and growing into even older ones as we come
along, that have tooth conditions, where they have to have braces on their teeth
because their teeth are crooked. And why are the crooked? Because the mother did
not have enough calcium in her body to give that baby a good, wide jaw. We‟re
now giving you calcium to give that baby a good, solid, wide jaw where the teeth
will come in and come in straight. And the wisdom teeth will also come in and
stay in. You know, you don‟t have wisdom until you can keep your wisdom teeth.
[laughter] This means that when the jaw is adequate those wisdom teeth will stay
in, and in good condition.
What‟s happening actually, besides drawing from the mother this way, the mother
is also losing a lot of her calcium by drinking soda pop, eating candy, lots of bread,
pastries, too much sugar in her teas. With our herbal teas we don‟t recommend
sugar, of course, and she shouldn‟t be drinking Lipton‟s. She shouldn‟t be
drinking coffee. Alright, but it is frightening to see pregnant women with bottles
of coke in front of them, going down on it. See a woman nursing a baby and
drinking Coke. And when that child is old enough to drink itself, give it its own
bottle of Coke. Yes, we are robbing the body with the sugar that‟s in the drinks
I‟m talking about: Coke, the same thing is with 7-Up or Orange Crush or any of
them. Because the sugar is robbing the body of the calcium. It leaches it right out.
So we‟ve got to eliminate that.
During pregnancy the mother can go on the three day cleanse. She can do this
every month. Stay on the mucusless diet. And it will be the finest thing that ever
happened to her, and the baby.
Maybe as she gets along her fourth or fifth month she starts to feel panicky because
she is starting to hemorrhage, she‟s going to abort, she‟s going to lose that baby.
And she‟s been dreaming about having a baby, wondering whether it‟s going to be
a boy or a girl, what to name it, and now she‟s going to lose it. Well, right, we
have a formula here again, the same one we used to help get the babies, false
unicorn. We use three parts false unicorn and one part lobelia. And this false
unicorn is one of the precious herbs again, because if the mother is in fair condition
at all and can carry that baby. Or the baby is not dead, the fetus is not dead within
her, then the wound will seal. The herbs will seal up the loss and renew the blood
that‟s been lost and the liquid that‟s lost. And the baby will be carried. We‟ve had
a number of mothers who have brought us the babies after they‟ve gone the full
nine months. The very mothers that were panicking because they were losing the
baby in their fourth month or fifth month.
86
But I had finished a lecture one night in a city – we do a minimum of fifty cities a
year, and I‟ll never forget this particular night. A young fellow in his twenties
came up and he said “Doctor Christopher, I‟ve always wanted to meet you. This is
the first time I‟ve had a chance.” He put out his hand and shook my hand and he
nearly shook my arm off.
And I said “well, I‟m glad to meet you to!”
He said, “The reason I wanted to thank you: I wouldn‟t have been here but you
went on a house call and took some herbs to my mother. And she was having a
miscarriage. It was me. I‟m here and I really enjoy life. Thanks so much!”
You know, that was a real payoff. I really appreciated that, because there was a
boy that I‟d like to put in with some of my boys. He‟s a good kid.
So, in case of miscarriage we come to this. But keep up that good food all the way,
and then just six weeks before it is time for having the baby we have a formula that
we have used over the years. Now this formula is called the six weeks formula –
that‟s what we‟ve always called it; we didn‟t have any other name for it. But this
has in it the following herbs: squaw vine, holy thistle, black cohosh, pennyroyal,
false unicorn, red raspberry leaves, and lobelia. Now let me tell you, this is one of
the safest herbal formulas that can ever be given to a mother-to-be on that last six
weeks. Those that do not understand herbs and know them like they should, they
say “I‟d never have that because it‟s got pennyroyal in it. And you‟re not
supposed to use pennyroyal during pregnancy.” They do not understand herbs
because they would understand that pennyroyal alone, any time during pregnancy
in large amounts, can cause abortion. And it‟s dangerous to use. The after-effect
and side-effect are severe. But, black cohosh we don‟t use either – which I
mention in here – during pregnancy. But at this last time we do. And in the last
six weeks that fetus is well enough established that there is no problem. And it
isn‟t giving you your pennyroyal in a concentrated condition. It‟s giving it to you
in one seventh part, and your black cohosh in one seventh part. Very mild. But, it
has worked with not hundreds but thousands of cases.
We have had both medical doctors and naturopathic physicians stand up in our
audiences and say “we are for that six week formula of yours all the way, because
we have used it with great success.” And they approve it all the way.
We had an interesting case that just happened. The lady had just had her third
child. It happened to be a member in our family, it was a sister, that had had the
87
third baby. And the first one that she had, she went through about thirty hours of
labor and she swore up and down she‟d never have another one. But you know,
you get kind of hungry for the feel of a new babe so she had the second one. But
this time she‟d heard about this six weeks formula, but she‟d heard about it in the
last two weeks. And she used it for a couple of weeks, and she only had four hours
of labor. And she was so thrilled that with this third baby, she went on raspberry
leaf tea and she used the six weeks formula for the full six weeks. And the doctor
didn‟t get there in time; they‟d already had the baby. [laughter] I mean, it was just
terrific. Well, it was quite exciting to hear this story. It was one that I liked.
But then we have the baby, and thrilled with it. You know, the mother is excited,
but someone says, “Well, you‟re not going to nurse the baby, are you?”
And she says “why, aren‟t you supposed to? I‟m equipped.”
“Well no,” they say, “there‟s no need to do that. Maybe you‟d like to get a new
wardrobe. Maybe you‟d like to buy a new car or get a yacht. You ought to go out
to work and help your husband. And give the baby a bottle, because the baby‟s
tender.”
Well, thanks to the La Leche League, bless their souls. I think they‟re wonderful.
They‟re going out and begging women to do what God intended them to do, and
they did for five thousand years, six thousand years. And they‟re pretty nice at it
too. But all of the sudden we come to the principle that man can make up a far
superior formula than God can make, and so we don‟t nurse the baby any more.
Don‟t get in that category, please. Nurse the baby; it is its inherent right. Because
here you have the laying on of hands for healing, because as the mother holds that
baby in the arms and is nursing it, that baby is being healed, and is losing its bad
traits and getting good traits. Another thing, the baby has now a computerized
formula – it might surprise you, but each day that milk that comes from the mother
is different than it was the day before. It‟s a different combination.
You know, you can take milk from a cow that‟s nursing a calf, and put that milk
where it will be in perfect condition, and three days later give it to the calf and the
calf will get scours, which is a killing disease if it isn‟t taken care of, by having the
milk that‟s three days off. That sounds kind of crazy, doesn‟t it? But the body is so
closely computerized that it should have had the current milk. Of course when
they‟re taken off and given most anything, why the body actually comes to a point
where it can tolerate. But here the mother is giving the baby a perfect food as it
progresses along.
88
The mother sometimes finds that she‟s running low on milk. Doesn‟t have enough.
And she panics and dries up her milk and gives the baby a bottle. That baby is
entitled to have nursing for nine months. That baby should have – that is unless
it‟s from an unusual family that gets the eye teeth and stomach teeth a little early –
a vegetarian family oft times, the child will get the eye teeth and stomach teeth,
which are five and six on the top for the eye teeth and five and six on the bottom
for the stomach teeth, if they get those before the nine months, or before the
eighteen months, I apologize on that: eighteen months, if the baby gets it earlier,
then they can be weaned earlier. But the weaning date is the most important day in
biblical history for people growing up. They used to have a weaning feast for
them. When they got their eye teeth and stomach teeth they were taken off of the
milk and they were no longer a baby. They were now a child.
The only animal on the face of the entire earth that goes back to milk after it‟s once
been weaned are a few humans. This is something to think about. The baby, there
isn‟t enough milk for it, so the mother, all she has to do is take some blessed thistle
tea, which is also called holy thistle. And this will give her a large amount of milk,
and the baby will be tamped in full. But sometimes that milk, the baby‟s full but it
wakes up in a little while, kind of crying for more food. It‟s hungry. Why?
Because the milk isn‟t rich. It‟s skim milk. So, give it some marshmallow root,
give the mother some marshmallow root tea, several cups a day, and it will
enrichen the milk. Take it from skim milk to Triple A grade, and it doesn‟t have to
be government inspected.
But, this would be a very choice, rich milk. She‟ll have plenty of it, too. Unless
she could invite the neighbor babies in for dinner once in a while. But, putting all
joking aside, this is a baby‟s right, and it is entitled to this.
We have now a little time for questions.
I have 3 if there is time.
Lets take one. Skip it around and come back.
Question: On a skin condition, with the problem basically from the inside, would
you use a blood purifier? And/or would the lymph formula help, the
mullen/lobelia, would this be necessary, or just what you have given us?
89
Doctor Christopher: What we have given you is the most powerful, the formula
which we call our bone, flesh and cartilage formula. It‟s just our own name.
Question: As a tea also?
Dr. Christopher: Use that as a tea. Take it internally as well as externally, a cup
morning and night. I‟m glad you brought that up. But, we‟ll go more into this tea
because it has many more uses. You can use regular blood purifying teas also, if
you wish, like the red clover that we gave before in one of the other tapes. But it‟s
got to be food and plenty of distilled water.
Question: What methods would you think would be applicable to a person who
has this terrible – I see it a lot – psoriasis. And people will stay home because they
can‟t go to work and have this all seen. If a person did have this condition on their
arms and legs and they can‟t cover it up with hosiery or whatever, I wondered if
there‟s something that‟s applicable. Would that tea help them?
Doctor Christopher: This tea will give very fast results. If they‟re working, let
them take a two week sick leave or something and get it cleared up. This is the
easiest way to do. If they wish to go even farther, have them go on straight juices
during this time to speed it up. It‟ll break out more, it will break out more, it will
really be efflorescent, but that‟s wonderful. Just say halleluiah, that junk is coming
out. Excuse my medical terms.
Question: How does the chickweed act in the body in conditions of this type?
Doctor Christopher: It detoxifies. This is the key of chickweed. Is one of the
great herbs for detoxification.
Question: I was wondering what form of lobelia do you use here. Is that seeds, or
the tincture, or what would it be?
Doctor Christopher: You can use the lobelia in tea form, both the herb and the
seed, you can use it in tincture form, which tincture is made up the same as I have
explained how to make tinctures before. They‟re all made on the same basis. Or it
can be used in concentrate. There are many ways in which it can be used. But
your lobelia is one of our most precious herbal remedies there is.
Question: But it‟s very strong. Isn‟t it toxic sometimes?
90
Doctor Christopher: Definitely not. Definitely not toxic. It‟s an emetic, it‟ll make
you throw up. Alright, what that is doing is actually getting rid of a lot of toxic
material that‟s in there, and causing you to throw up.
Question: Is it a seed, or a leaf, or what is it.
Doctor Christopher: Well, it‟s an herb that has seeds on it, but the seeds are getting
hard to get now. In fact it would be smart to grow your own herbs. There are
companies like Taylor down on the west coast and various places that will ship you
your herbs already started, and they might even ship you this one. I don‟t know.
Question: If you had a condition of kidney congestion, problems in that area,
which is best – the parsley tea made from the leaf or the root? And what about
fresh parsley? Would there be problems with sprays and things like that.
Doctor Christopher: With your fresh parsley, and in fact just for a regular kidney
tonic, a diuretic tonic, for kidneys, bladder and the whole set up, parsley tea with
just the leaves is one of the finest teas that you can ever get. And you should drink
it frequently. But you can grow it in the wintertime, put it in a pot in the house. If
you want to put some mulching over it, some straw or something, you could dig
under the snow. And you‟ll generally find some parsley there saying “hello, how
are you? Need me today?” It‟s a wonderful herb. But if you are worried about
poison sprays on it, then take a good biodegradable liquid, biodegradable soap,
make a solution, and dip it down in, rinse it off with clear distilled water, and it‟ll
be all right. It‟ll generally offset any of the poisons that are there. But that is a
wonderful one.
Question: Some women who have had a lot of children, their bladder drops, and
this causes an incontinence. Well this herbal remedy help that, or is there
something to strengthen those muscles?
Doctor Christopher: It will help strengthen it, yes. This will go in and do a lot of
good. But oft times that bladder that has fallen is because of a prolapsed transverse
colon. Now, we talked a little bit about that in one of our other tapes, but we‟ll
take that pressure off of the bladder and bring it up. But this formula itself will
strengthen the muscles in the bladder. But it would be good always with a weak
bladder condition to use the castor oil fomentation. Castor oil fomentation, we tell
about it in the little booklet Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. That‟s used
on the outside of the body and it is very beneficial.
91
Question: Is there a shampoo, or a substitute for a shampoo, that can be used in
place of some of these medical ones that they use for psoriasis and dandruff?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, in the back of that little booklet, again, we have a number
of our formulas that we‟ve used over the years in our practice, and it tells of a rinse
there for the hair. But for a soap itself, if that‟s what you mean, I use a
biodegradable myself. My hair gets washed every morning, and I use a
biodegradable.
Question: Is that booklet the Three Day Cleanse?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, the Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. But it gives
a wonderful formula in the back
92
Lecture No. 7 Allergies – Mucusless Diet – Obesity – Reproductive Organs
The first thing we‟re going to talk about at this time will be allergies. This is
something that affects so many people, they think that they have an unusual case of
allergies because it lasts on and on and they can‟t get rid of it. We‟ve had people
come to our office that have an arm that looks like a pin cushion, they‟ve had so
many needles stuck in it, try and test find out what they can eat. Finally they wind
up with white bread and white gravy. About the only two things left. And those
are about the only things they don‟t vibrate against. The reason is they‟re so full of
it, and now they‟re already loaded.
The allergy that an individual has, if they will follow our program, the three day
cleanse and the mucusless diet, and adhere to it. Drink adequate liquid, keep those
bowels clean, as we have explained, they will find that within one year, I don‟t
care how many allergies you have, those allergies will disappear. It‟s so simple
and it‟s so easy that it‟s a little on the ridiculous side. Because we‟ve brought the
allergies on ourselves by feeding our bodies toxic poison.
We had an interesting thing happened to us in our Salt Lake office. A woman had
not been able to smell anything since she was a small child. She had other
allergies also. And she had a boy, a little tike about five years old, and you know
since he was born he‟d never been able to smell anything. It was an inherent
weakness that was passed on down. They had been on our program and followed
it very carefully – they were living out towards the Grantsville area – and coming
into Salt Lake City one morning, as they were driving along, the little boy was
breathing deeply and he says “Mamma, I smell something. Hmm, it smells good!”
And she said “you do? You can smell?”
And he said “yes”
And she took a deep breath and said “I can too! They‟re just cutting alfalfa over
there. The sweet smell of newly mown hay!”
And they could both smell that morning, and the first time in many years. Well,
what had happened was the allergies had just left. And so it is. If we will follow
through on our program. Let‟s just take a quick minute or two on the diet, because
this is so important. We stay with fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Well,
this may amaze some of you, because we know we cannot live without the meat.
93
And we know that we couldn‟t survive without a steak a week or a roast on
Sunday, it would be impossible. But you know, it‟s an odd thing; we do get by.
We don‟t do too bad either.
As we‟ve said before, from the time of Adam down to Noah there was no meat
eating at all, and they lived close to a thousand years. With no problems. They
were happy. Very congenial souls. The gorilla is built like the human being.
Well, we don‟t look exactly alike in some cases, but we‟ve had patients… Well,
anyhow [laughter] we have found that the gorilla has in it every organ that the
human has. They are identical. And you could take the intestines from a gorilla
and put over here, and from a human and put on the other side, and people can
walk by and they can‟t tell which is which. Except some smart person would say
“Well, this one looks healthier. It must be the gorilla.” Or “the intestines over
here, this one‟s got a larger brain.” Well, there‟s your answer. The human has a
brain, the gorilla has a brain, but the human‟s is large enough that they can go to
school and get a lot of negative material. And the gorilla, he isn‟t so smart. He
doesn‟t go to school and so he doesn‟t know exactly what to eat, and he says “hey,
Lord, I can‟t read these signs on those trucks, they say „eat lots of meat for vitality‟
but I can‟t read it. And there‟s another sign that says „sugar, you need it for pep
and energy‟”
And the Lord says “don‟t worry about it. You just eat under your own fig tree, in
your own backyard, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, and just don‟t bring
anything in from Miami, Minneapolis/St. Paul. Just eat what‟s in your own
backyard. And you‟ll be alright. And so he takes that advice because he‟s too
stupid to read our books. What happens? He lives one hundred and fifty, two
hundred years. And when he dies he looks like he‟s thirty five. But you know
something else? When he dies, he has his own hair and his own teeth. You can‟t
beat that, can you?
Well, and what is he? He is a vegetarian. Yeap. He never goes to the butcher shop
and gets his meat. He never even goes over to the dairy place and gets his milk.
No, he lives without his candy and everything else, but he does all right.
That‟s all we‟re trying to do, is tell you to eat properly. Fruits, vegetables, grains,
nuts and seeds, and believe me, those meals can be delicious. You‟ve tried it. Do
you like it? You know, it‟s a way of living that is really exciting. In fact it is now
catching on to a fact that you can go into many of your better restaurants and they
will have, on the bottom, a vegetarian meal. And they are very tasty.
94
So, well, when you sit down to a nice, big salad, and a baked potato, open it up and
put olive oil, sweet olive oil, not that rancid stuff, and good, coarse, black pepper
on it – eat the skin and all – you have got something that is so tasty. And then you
can have casseroles, and you can have all the lentils and beans, all of them. And
they‟re all done, heated with low heat – we do not do any cooking in our program
at all. We low heat. We keep everything under one hundred and thirty degrees.
You may have to soak your grains for eight hours, up to twenty hours. Maybe
your beans you may have to soak for two or three days to soften them up enough.
But there is the answer: low heating. You pre-soak them first and then low heat
them. Low heat them maybe over night. But then you put your seasonings in later
on.
And your seasonings are very beneficial, your condiments, your herbal aids,
because they‟re kept under one hundred and thirty degrees also. And it doesn‟t kill
the life. You could take wheat, buckwheat, rye, barley, millet, any of these grains,
presoak them, low heat them, they‟re all puffed up, they‟re very delicious, put
some honey on them or whatever you like, flavor them up. After you get through –
there‟s a little left over. Take them out and plant them in the back yard, because
they‟re whole, they‟re un-cracked. And they will grow.
That‟s the important part because that is the answer. All wholesome food. And
the word “wholesome” means “with the life therein, as in its original state.” It‟s got
the life in or it wouldn‟t grow. As we say, plant some of the casserole that‟s left
over with the whole grain, some of your breakfast grain wheat and barley, put in
some of your beans and lentils. By the way, in Ezekiel 4 the Lord tells us to eat
beans and lentils and grains. He tells us this.
Well, we plant those in the front row and in the back row we plant some granola,
some cookies, a loaf of bread and some Wheaties. Now we fertilize them both and
we water them well, and cover them and talk to them a little bit like you talk to
plants, you know, but what will happen? Your front row will grow, and the joy of
seeing things come up is nice. But the second row doesn‟t do so good. You dig
under there to find out what‟s wrong, they rotted. They were dead in the first
place. You can‟t get something from nothing.
So if you‟re going to take live food into your body, you‟re going to get life. If
you‟re going to take dead food into your body, just let me know; I‟ll bring some
flowers.
95
Live food. This is the key of all important diets that you can get. Live food. And
as long as they‟re not boiled and ruined by high heat, long as they‟re low heated or
raw, you‟ve got the answer. If you‟ll do this, if you‟ll follow through with your
cleanse before you start your diet. The cleanse is to clean the body and prepare it.
It‟s a forerunner. Three days of juice. Now, you will survive, I promise.
It‟s like one woman. I was talking to a large audience. And we said we start off
with a full pint of prune juice the first thing in the morning, sixteen ounces, and
then during the day we chew, or swish in our mouth a gallon of apple juice (for an
adult). A little at a time, a cup at a time over the day. And during that time you
use some of the lower bowel tonic that we‟ve talked about. You also will use some
olive oil, a tablespoon three times a day. And it‟s wonderful. The first day you
know you‟re going to die, the second day you think you might survive, but the
third day you‟re so full of pep and energy you want to go out and turn the world
upside down.
And I said this is the way it goes. And a lady in the front row raised her hand. She
was quite a large lady and she said, “Well, that is interesting. That sounds so
good. Now, do you take that juice before or after meals?” [laughter] Well, here
was her problem, right there. We have to use a little moderation. But right from
the very beginning you‟ll start finding good results, and your allergies will leave
within a year.
Now we‟re going to talk today on the subject of obesity, overweight. This is
something that a lot of us are very sensitive about. We feel that the Lord has
cursed us, or some of us blame the devil, of course. As I‟ve said before, we blame
one of the two. We forget to blame ourselves. But it isn‟t always us. Sometimes
it‟s our parents before us, and their parents. Because they pass from person to
person, from generation to generation, certain weaknesses in the body, certain
types of malfunctions that are passed on down. I have seen, as an example, a lady
had brought in three of her children. As I read their eyes, I looked into the iris of
the two teenage girls and they both had prolapsed transverse colons. Sagging. It
was sad. And I said “gee, let me see you next, mother.” She came up and hers was
the same pattern. Alright, she‟d passed this weakness on to those other two
children.
Then I took their little four year old, she‟s just a little tike. Now, it was an
afterthought that they didn‟t expect. Of course they‟re spoiling her silly, but I
looked into that little chap‟s eyes, and you know she had a descending colon that
was ballooned, a prolapsed transverse that looked like from a woman fifty or sixty
96
years old. She had been born with this weakness. This is the sins of the parents to
the third and fourth generation. And this is what we‟re trying to overcome. This is
what we‟re doing. We‟re teaching that our new generations, the Aquarian age, the
people who are going to be the rulers from here on out, will be people with life,
vitality and stamina, and they will have the ability of long life that they can go into
that thousand years of peace.
So now the first thing that we‟re going to talk about in overweight is food. And
here is the three day cleanse to start us off, and the mucusless diet. Now the
mucusless diet does not include Twinkies. The mucusless diet does not include
any junk food. It‟s wholesome foods. But I make you a promise as I sit here
today. And that promise is this: that after you have been on a mucusless diet for a
short period of time, that horrible hunger that we have had for many years will
leave us so that we‟ll feel satisfied. How many times have you gotten up from the
Sunday meal or a big meal, and staggered over to the easiest chair you could find,
and burped a couple, three times, sat down and say “oh, that was a horribly big
meal. But, you know, I‟m still hungry. Is there another piece of pie or something?
I‟ve got a craving.”
Well this is that hidden hunger. This is the most vicious thing. This is the killer.
And, if you stay on the mucusless diet and do it faithfully, within a matter of days,
and with some people a matter of a week or two, you‟ll find that hidden hunger is
gone, and after you get up from the meal you‟re satisfied. And you‟ll be satisfied
until you get good and hungry, and then you‟ll have another good meal. And you
go on this way and you‟ll find that the food is satisfying you, because it is
wholesome food that you‟re getting all the nourishment out of. And if you chew it
properly, and do not drink with your meals – this is so important because if we
inhale our food and then wash it down with liquid, we are not getting but 7 or 8%
assimilation. But if we will chew it thoroughly, and mix the saliva with it, and not
drink during our meals, this is important: do not drink during your meals, you will
find that your food will be more satisfying, and it‟ll do you more good. And you
will love longer, and happier.
We do say a gallon of steamed, distilled water each day for the average adult. A
gallon. This sounds like a lot, but you know there‟s only just so many glasses in
one of those things, and if you distribute it over the day it disappears. You can
drink a glass of tap water and you won‟t quite make the glass because it just
doesn‟t fit too good. It doesn‟t even, well it just doesn‟t want to go down too well.
But you can drink a couple of glasses of distilled water before you find out that
well, my goodness, it‟s just slipping right down like it was supposed to.
97
I can back up distilled water so much because it‟s been less than seven years ago
when I sat in a wheelchair for nine months. The arthritis that I was born with, that
has come back on me periodically over my life. When you‟re born with arthritis it
comes back every seven years like clockwork. Of course, when you acquire it, we
rid many thousands of patients, we have over the years, of their arthritis by
following the program quickly. And it‟s finished. But when you‟re born with it it
comes every seven years.
Well, this hit one of those periods when I sat in that wheelchair for nine months.
And then someone tossed a booklet into my lap. The book‟s name was The Choice
is Clear, by Doctor Cary? I believe that‟s it. The Choice is Clear. And when I
read that I was sold. And within three weeks after starting on distilled water I was
back on the lecture platform again. And I‟ve stayed there, but I drink a lot of
water.
So this is part of losing weight. We must flush out the inorganic salts that are
causing our weight. The bowels must be kept in good motion, of course, kept
moving good. Now there is one bit of advice on your three day cleanse, when we
use the sixteen ounces of prune juice first thing in the morning. We do recommend
that you stay close around the sanitary unit for a short period of time, because this
is rather self-expressive. But you‟ll begin to feel like you‟re living again.
We have to do deep breathing, because we cannot digest our food unless we are
getting lots of oxygen into our body. And deep breathing is deep abdominal
breathing, and then bringing the chest up, and breathe in deeply many, many times
a day. This will be hard on most of us because the chest will hurt. We‟re not used
to breathing a deep breath. We‟re shallow breathers, and a shallow breather has a
delicate situation here where when they take a deep breath it hurts.
We have another thing again to do: exercise. Of course the number one exercise
with all people overweight is the exercise that we always use at mealtime when
about the time we feel like we could eat some more but, well, then we put our
hands on the edge of the table, and then we push back. [laughter] This is a very
important exercise. And then stay away until the next meal. But we want to do a
bit of jogging. We want to do some squats, and bends, and one thing and another.
But we do it rather modestly at first, because the body is not too happy about being
exercised in muscles that haven‟t been used for a while.
98
Our recommendation is, though, never go past time of fatigue. Up to the time of
fatigue you are building muscles and strengthening them, but as soon as fatigue set
in, we mentioned this once before, you will lose your muscle strength three times
as fast as you were building it before. So as soon as you are tired, stop. That
doesn‟t mean before you start. [laughter] Just be solid with it, please.
We have now a group of herbs that we believe should accompany this, because
over the years we have found that this is a group of herbs that‟s very good for an
obese condition. The program we‟re putting you on is good for underweight or
overweight. What we‟re actually doing is removing the toxins from the body, and
just feeding it. Feeding it plenty, but feeding it so that it will keep going with
energy.
When the toxic poisons are out of the body, we have come now to a new low. Let
me give you an example of this. We had a cancer patient years ago, when we
didn‟t do nothing but the Johanna Brandt cure. That was the first one we knew
about, and we used it with a number of patients. We‟ve changed the program quite
a bit since, but this particular lady had been told – she‟d had one breast removed
and part of her hip, and they had opened her up, looked inside, sewed her back up
and sent her home. They said they could use cobalt and one thing and another but
she only had a short time to live.
Well, she said “I don‟t want any more treatments of any kind. I‟m going to try
something else.”
So she came our way, and we put her on the grape cure. This is now the same
type, but it‟s under a classification we call the little booklet, the incurables. But
it‟s easier to take than the grape cure.
And she said “what will happen?”
“Well, you‟ll lose weight, and you‟ll use a lot of weight with the grape cure, and
you‟ll go down to a skeleton, and you‟ll go down to the point where people will
advise you to get off of this program. But it‟s up to you whether you want to keep
going or not. But after you get to a new low, and that new low is after all of the
toxic poisons have been cut out of the body, and you come to that new low, then
you will start to put on good weight.”
And she said “alright, I‟m going through with it.”
99
Months went by. She stayed faithfully with the program. And she came in one
day, a walking skeleton. Her cheeks were sunken, oh, it was just skin over the
bones. And she says “you know, my neighbors and my family come to me and
they threaten they‟re going to put me in an institution if I don‟t stop this program,
but you know I was only given a few days to live when I started on it, and I‟m
doing pretty good. I‟m sticking with it, regardless of what they say.”
And so she did, and then one day she came to her new low, and what happened?
She started to put on weight using the same kind of food, grape juice. She started
putting on weight, and within a few weeks she‟d filled out. And she‟d filled out in
the right places. And it was really refreshing to see this case. And that woman as
far as I know now is still out talking about herbs. She‟s alive and at it.
This is so important, to understand that while you are healing, you are going to
have cycles. You are going to have a crisis, every seven days, seven weeks, seven
months, seven years. And these crises might make you panic.
So many people, they‟ll call up and say “Oh I felt pretty good until I started on
your crazy program. Every Saturday I feel awful!” or “every Wednesday I feel
awful!” Well, this is the day of fast, when they‟re cleaning up.
One man said, “Why I ever let you start me on this programon Saturday, I don‟t
know.”
I said, “What do you mean?”
“Every Saturday, that‟s the only day I have off and the only day I can play golf, I
feel awful!”
Alright, this is the day of rest when he‟s cleaning up. He‟s on nothing that day,
that seventh day, but distilled water. Oh, you will pull through it. You will
survive. And it‟ll be good for you.
Here are the herbs that we use. It‟s a number of herbs that we have put together,
and they have proven very satisfactory. The herbs are: equal parts of chickweed,
burdock, licorice, saffron, mandrake, fennel, parsley root, kelp, echinacea, black
walnut, Hawthorne berry, and papaya. Now just to tell you quickly why some of
these herbs are in here.
100
The chickweed kind of makes you so that you don‟t want to eat too much. It kind
of satisfies your hunger. It‟s very high in calcium, and it‟s high in some of the
things that help us so that we don‟t get really hungry. And the burdock goes into
blood purification and starts cleaning up the bloodstream. The licorice works on
our glandular system. And this is our problem, with many of us, our glands are not
functioning properly. And some people say “gee, I can just drink water and gain
weight.” Well, this is a sad thing, but it sometimes happens. So we have the
licorice and the saffron in for this. And the mandrake, it has the hormones and
estrogens in. And many other things. The fennel, this keeps from nausea. It is an
anti-nausea herb and is also beneficial in other parts of the body. But the parsley
root, the parsley root is to keep from having dropsy. Now in so many cases of
overweight we retain our water, and in retention of water we will go on a crash
diet, and boy we‟re happy because we‟ve dropped ten pounds. Wow, couple of
days and we‟re down ten pounds, maybe more. And then comes right back up
again. Alright, we haven‟t accomplished anything except happiness and
disappointment from happiness.
This is not a crash program that we‟re putting you on. It‟s gradual, and you will
lose very gradually. We figure that every three months you lose one dress size. Is
that good enough? Yes, that isn‟t hard to take. We had a lady that was wearing a
size twenty, up in Olympia, Washington, and her husband was going to divorce
her. And she came on the program, and in six months she was down to a thirteen.
I mean she really went all the way, down to a thirteen. And so he bought her a
brand new wardrobe, kissed her and told her she was his forever. Alright, just
through diet. It‟s so simple and so easy.
Now the parsley root in getting rid of the liquid, but we have another problem,
sometimes the thyroid. And so here the kelp is, to work on the thyroid. Overactive
or underactive. And the echinacea. This is a wonderful herb for the skin tissue, to
keep the wrinkles from coming in too fast. It is a food for the entire outside area,
and the inside too.
The black walnut. Now this black walnut will kill any fungus, and help kill
infection. And it‟s high in iodine, which natural organic iodine in the black walnut
assists also in the thyroid condition. The Hawthorne berry is to help the heart,
because when we‟re reducing, sometimes that heart has to work a little faster to
pump a lot of the sludge out, and so it needs a little additional help, so we‟ve got
the Hawthorne berry in there. And the papaya, of course, is a digestive within
itself, and it helps make the food assimillable, instead of just being accepted, and
loading the body up with excess weight.
101
So with this combination, supposing you put that into powder form, or put it into
capsules, and use two or three of them, from three to six times a day, and drink
some chickweed tea with each time we take those capsules down. And you‟ll find
that you‟ll start losing weight. Of course, we don‟t want to be doing this and then
having banana cream pie and pork chops and three loaves of white break for
dinner. It‟s not going to offset it, I promise you. We‟ve got to work along with the
mucusless diet, with the water, and keeping those bowels clean.
This whole program of losing weight can be done so gradually that there isn‟t a lot
of pouch or wrinkles. You come down so evenly and so gradually that it is a
blessing. So we‟ve got people that on this program will gain weight or lose
weight. You‟ll come to your own norm. Now this is one thing that many people
worry about while they‟re trying to reduce. They worry themselves into a dither.
They‟re climbing on that scale continually, and frustration will make more weight
increase than the food itself. Because it does work on you this way. Forget those
scales. Just live the way that we‟re teaching you to live and you‟ll automatically
come down. And you‟ll yawn and stretch and your clothes will fall off of you.
You‟ll grab them right fast and say, “Oh boy, it‟s working.” Alright, you‟re now
on the right track.
But the toxic poisons, when they‟re out of the body, it‟ll change your whole
outlook on life. You‟ll love life, you‟ll love people, you‟ll love everything.
Because you love yourself now. You are down to a point where you‟re happy once
more.
I was so skinny as I grew up. I reached a hundred and thirty five pounds by the
time I was nearly thirty, a hundred and thirty five pounds at six foot. And when
the wind would blow my pants legs would wrap around my skinny limbs and it
was really something. And I didn‟t know what had happened until years later, but
my thyroid had flipped on me, and in that one year I went from one hundred and
thirty five pounds up to a hundred and eighty pounds. Then I had to fight to keep
under two hundred. Then I got up to two hundred forty pound. And I mean I tried
and tried and tried, and finally I got onto the right program, and I brought myself
down. This to me has been wonderful, because I promise you, if you start to go
home now and I have a fifty pound chunk of lead there with a nice smooth handle
on it, and I say “you‟ve got to carry this home with you.”
And you say “oh, haul fifty pounds around?”
102
And you go over one-sided. And I say “let‟s put twenty five pounds on each side.”
And you stagger down those steps and along the sidewalk, you‟re carrying fifty
pounds. Alright, that fifty pounds is on us. It was on me. And I dropped it. Hah,
I feel better. I enjoy life. It‟s so much better. But you can‟t say because you are
five foot seven, that you have got to weigh exactly so many pounds. That‟s
ridiculous. Because you are as different as another person five foot seven as night
and day. You‟ve got a different bonal structure. You‟re a different person. So
how are we going to know where to come down to?
That a question, isn‟t it? But it‟s an easy one. Follow the mucusless diet and
you‟ll come down to your own norm, and you‟ll stop right there, when you‟re
adjusted. But you won‟t stop right there at first, because you come down to your
own norm and then you‟ll go down lower and lower until you get to a new low.
And what‟s that difference in that additional weight you‟ve lost? Toxic poison.
This is filth. Ooh, I‟m talking about us. But it‟s there. It‟s in us. And when we
unload that, that is the key.
It might surprise you, but the average individual walking on the streets of this city
and any other city has between twelve to fifteen pounds of old, dried fecal matter
in their bowel, and that in itself is additional weight that is unsavory. This is part
of the program we‟re teaching you is to get rid of that. And another is to get rid of
the liquid that‟s in the body. And how do we get rid of the liquid? By drinking
pure distilled water. What it does, it get rids of the salts, the inorganic salts that are
making it so it‟s holding the water in your body. The heart, the liver, everything
will work better with ample water.
Your exercise, and one of the finest exercises in the world is to walk with a long
swing. If you mince along with little tiny short steps it‟s not going to do you any
good, but if you take a long stride, and swing those arms, you‟ll begin to find some
help.
This is a program that is beneficial for anybody, because if you are overweight or
just normal, to come on this program once in a while will keep you normal. And
keep you at the right weight.
We‟re going now into another group of organs that need some help, and that‟s the
reproductive organs. The reproductive organs are organs that have been ignored,
abused, not appreciated, and in most cases quite sickly. With the men we have
prostate problems. With the women we have uterus, the ovaries, the fallopian
tubes, breast problems, all the way. But you know what the problem is today? It‟s
103
getting more and more common. It‟s getting so that more and more people are
having this trouble. And it‟s getting so that we will have to be awfully careful or
the children will have them younger than they‟re having it now. We used to never
think of a man having prostate problems until he was in his middle years, up fifties
or sixties. When I first started practice this was about the only time we ever ran
into this. But I have had young patients, boys at fourteen and fifteen years of age,
that are having prostate problems at this early age. Because it‟s an inherent
weakness into the parents to the third and fourth generation. And in the army we
had so much of this, in young fellows in their late teens and early twenties. This
condition of a prostate problem is one that it‟s growing rapidly.
The only thing we were allowed in our specific dispensary was to give prostate
massage, which was to insert the middle finger into the rectum, and a figure eight
massage to pump off the pus that‟s in the prostate. Well, this is not the most
savory job in the world, but we had to do it. In fact I had so many of these
patients, they called me the rear admiral. [laughter]
Oh, it was awful. We don‟t do this anymore because we take care of it through
herbs and through diet, which is far more savory, I‟ll promise you now. But we
have a program of the prostate where we take care of cleaning up the prostate
glands without a lot of trouble. This is very beneficial in the fact that, to get the
infection out means that we do not have to have an operation. And every man,
when he gets up in years, is afraid he‟s going to have a prostate operation.
Prostatitis is a dangerous thing, but the herbs that we give you will take care of it,
and this formula is one that is not hard to take. We will you will find it, and it will
save time – there are so many of these – in the little booklet: The Three Day
Cleanse and the Mucusless Diet. The formula is in the back of that.
But let‟s go into our problems with the female. She has her problem too. Oh, you
don‟t? Oh Ok then. All I can say is, as I‟ve traveled through life, it seems like I‟ve
had nearly everything that could be thrown at me. Born with arthritis, heart
trouble, I had to sit at the front row at school because I couldn‟t see the blackboard,
they had to yell at me because I was hard of hearing. Well, I got a little older,
every seven years I would add something to it. And I added stomach ulcers by the
time I got into my twenties, and hemorrhoids and bleeding piles. And you know
one thing I was always grateful for, and that was that the good Lord blessed me
with not giving me any of you women‟s diseases. I don‟t think I could have made
the grade if I had had that added on top of what I‟ve already had to take care of.
Because we‟ve had so many thousands of women that have come to us, and I‟ve
104
seen the sufferings they‟ve gone through. If men could just have a little more
understanding in these things, it would be good.
But, supposing you‟d have a case – and we‟ve had a few like this – if you could
imagine, where a woman has a tire around her abdominal area, where a great big
bulge is. Just rounded out, which is the prolapsed transverse colon that‟s full of
fecal matter, lying down there where it isn‟t supposed to be because it‟s dropped
down. She has a tipped uterus, her ovaries have got some cysts and tumors on, and
the fallopian tubes are in trouble, her breasts are swelling and she‟s afraid she‟s
going to have to have a mammectomy. She‟s also, just for good measure, picked
up a yeast infection, and then winds up with herpes simplex. Outside of that she‟s
doing pretty good. Pretty good.
Well, when we find a patient like this we say, “Hallelujah! We got the full
package. Let‟s go to work!” And here‟s how it works. And this can be done.
We‟ve seen these cases that have been cleared. Not all of them, because they‟re
not all faithful followers of the program. But those who are faithful followers.
Number one, we start them right off on cleaning up the body, of course.
Everything that we‟ve talked about on the basic routines. Then the woman takes a
lower bowel formula to start cleaning up this bowel condition. But in addition to
this she‟s going to be taking something for the reproductive organs. Number one,
it‟ll be a female corrective, which that combination is in the back of the little
booklet also. This is a food that will feed the entire reproductive organs, giving it
new life, building new energy.
In addition to this, with nearly every woman that‟s having these problems, she has
a hormone estrogen malfunction. We have a group of herbs, that is also listed in
the back of that little booklet, which is called the hormone and estrogen group.
And this has a number of herbs in that just do an excellent job, because they are
qualified to do it.
So now we‟re working on the oral part, taking these internally. The next thing, just
before retiring at night, insert what we call a vaginal bolus into the vagina. Now it
explains how to make these boluses up and how to solidify them. Now this is
inserted into the vagina just before retiring at night. To speed it up, make also
suppositories at the same time, and insert a suppository into the rectum, just before
retiring. And it will stay in all night, and it will come out with the first bowel
movement in the morning from the rectum, and in the morning we‟ll take care of
the vaginal area by using a slant board routine, and it explains this. But on the
slant board routine is the one that we explained, I think, with using an injection, a
105
syringe injection. Right, now this is feeding the muscles, which will start bringing
the muscles back up into place again. We now go into exercises, slant board
exercises to strengthen the muscles. This is all extremely beneficial.
When you have gone through this, we have found that women have lost tumors and
cysts of many, many different sizes – they have brought them to us the size of a
marble up to the size of a grapefruit, that they have dropped on this program. I
remember one woman came to us, she said “I was concerned. I‟ve been doing this
crazy program for about four months. Nothing‟s happened. Oh, I feel a little
better, but it just goes on and on and on and I get tired of it. Why, I was sitting
there on the toilet this morning and I was thinking „ah, this is the last day. I‟m
through with it. I‟m sick of it.‟ I got up and I turned around and looked in the toilet
bowl, and there was a spider cancer about the size of a half a dollar, and it was
floating on the top and the legs were all coming out from it. I screamed, and my
husband came in. We got it and put it into a bottle with some liquid in it, and
rushed it to the medical doctor, and when he examined it he said „why, that‟s a
spider cancer! How did you ever get it?‟
“„Well, it was in the toilet bowl.‟
“„That‟s impossible,‟ he said, „because they are vultures. They just hang on and
live off of the body.‟”
Alright, what had happened, she‟d gone through this program and the body was so
healthy that the scavenger had nothing to eat, had nothing to absorb, and so it just
fell out, died, and passed away.
And he said “how did it come out?”
She said “it just came out in the toilet bowl.” She dropped it at that. She didn‟t
want any ridicule. But she said “you know, I didn‟t stop that day. I kept it going.”
Well, that was enough to just keep her in motion, but sometimes it takes longer
with some people. We had a lady that was going to be operated on in three weeks
for a large cyst on her ovary. And she said she didn‟t want that operation, she was
worried about it. And she started on this program, and before the three weeks was
up it had gone down so small, she went back to the doctor – he was a good, honest
doctor – he said “I don‟t know what you‟ve done, but the cyst is gone.” Alright, it
saved an operation. And that isn‟t hard to take.
106
We have all of these things that we suffer, but they don‟t need to be. They don‟t
need to be. If you eat properly, you will find out. Let‟s start from an early age.
Here was a woman came to us in Evanston, Wyoming, she came up from
Springville, Utah. She had had three caesarian operations, her first three children
were caesarian, and she was at a point that she didn‟t know what to do, because
over her abdominal area it was just like heavy gristle, scar tissue. And the doctors
had said, “We can‟t give you another caesarian. There‟s no place we could sew
up. It would kill you if you had a baby now. It would kill you probably and the
baby. Don‟t get pregnant.”
Well, typical, woman is hungry for a baby in her arms, and so she came to us
ninety miles. And she said “I‟ve heard you‟ve helped others. Can you help me? I
want to have a baby.” And she told me the story.
And I said “well, if you follow the program you can get results, but it‟s up to you.”
She followed it. We put her on a program like we have in that little booklet The
Incurables. But she had the three oil massage over this abdominal area, she took
her raspberry tea, she went right on through the whole program.
We‟d moved then into Salt Lake City. Our obstetrician, Doctor Loretta Foot, told
me one morning “I‟ll be gone for a couple of days from the office. Your patient
down in Springville is going to have her baby, and it‟s going to be home delivery.”
Right, now this is the one who had had three caesarians. Well, Doctor Foot was
back a little early. She didn‟t stay as many days as she generally did. She said “it
was such an easy delivery. It was just very nice.”
Well, I‟d forgotten all about this, but years later, nearly twenty years later, I was
speaking at the Electric Auditorium here, or in Provo, Utah. Where are we now?
We‟re in Provo, yes! I had to think for a minute where I‟m lecturing from. I‟m
sorry. But, we were right in the Electric Auditorium and there was a large crowd
there, and after the lecture, just at the question/answer period, a woman raised her
hand and said, “Could I come up and say something?”
And I said, “Why, yes.” And following her were four beautiful teenagers. I mean
they were the most handsome teenagers. And when she came up front she said “I
hope you‟re listening to what the doctor‟s telling you, because I went to him over
twenty years ago, about twenty years ago, and I followed his program. I‟d had
three caesarian deliveries. Those children aren‟t with me today. I can‟t get them
to understand the things that I‟m trying to teach. But here are four children that
were all born with natural childbirth at home.”
107
Four of them and they were beautiful! And she said, “and these children believe in
what I teach.”
I was fortunate enough to see the four children and their babies. And their babies
were the new Aquarian age. I mean, these young people had followed their
mother‟s advice, and the children were following theirs. And, you know. those
children will be ripe for having children themselves about the turn of the century,
which means that those children born of them can live the age of a tree. They can
live that thousand years. Alright, now, this is the new generation that is coming in,
and this is how it is being done. Step by step. I think it‟s terrific.
But this woman had to rebuild her body, had to almost do the whole thing over,
before she was able to have these four beautiful children. I think it‟s wonderful
just to be alive. And to have these things happen, it‟s great.
We‟ve got time for just a question or two. Any questions today?
Question: You mentioned about the thyroid, how much you‟ve had thyroid
problems. Just talk about that.
Doctor Christopher: Yes, your thyroid is a glandular part of the body that gets out
of order once in a while. And at that age I didn‟t know what it was all about. I
didn‟t know I had a thyroid, really, I thought people still had gizzards. I hadn‟t
learned anything; I haven‟t learned a lot yet, but here we had a problem that
adjusted itself over the years, just through diet and I used quite a bit of kelp.
Question: Doctor Christopher, how does one determine when a healing crisis is
being experienced, rather than the real malady?
Doctor Christopher: Let me put it this way. When you‟re having a very serious
condition, like pneumonia, and you haven‟t taken too good care of it and it‟s gone
into a bronchial congestion. We go into a crisis. With a healing crisis, it could be
more severe than the original. But if we know how to take care of it properly, by
using the lobelia, as we explained, we can make that, instead of a crisis where
we‟re on the road down, make it so we‟re on the road up. This is every seven
years, as I say, I have arthritis return to me. In my seventh year, when I was seven
years old, I was out of school with it. In my fourteenth year I was out, and also
had heart trouble at the same time. In my twenty-first year I was out for nearly a
year, sitting their helpless with arthritis. Twenty-eighth year again. Thirty-fifth
108
year I was now in the health end of it, but I didn‟t know too much about it. But
each seven years, from there on down, the healing crisis got less and less, and
eventually it won‟t happen at all. I‟ll just say hello and goodbye to it.
Question: Can you give us any additional information for a program for
menopause difficulty? Would you use both the two formulas you mentioned, or
just the one for…
Doctor Christopher: Use both of the formulas. Because whenever we have
menopause problems, there is a weakness in the organs themselves. And number
two there is a hormone estrogen imbalance. This is an important part of life itself.
If we would follow through, like this lady with her four teenagers. Those children
went through puberty without any problems. They didn‟t have acne. They weren‟t
nasty and hard to live with. Because they had plenty of hormone and estrogen
from the wholesome food. Whole grains and things that they were eating. They
had all they needed. And their children will be the same. Well, if we eat this way,
we will have easier deliveries, we will have easier life, and you will go into
menopause in rather a sneaky way, as one woman told me.
She said “you know, something odd had happened, and I knew I was missing
something. Three or four months went by and it was in the back of my mind that
there was something missing. And all of the sudden I thought „why you silly
person, of course! You haven‟t had menstrual period for four months.
Alright, she had just gone into it so naturally, because she was living right. She
was eating wholesome foods. And that‟s the only reason we have those
menopause problems, is to try and unload some of the garbage… uhm, some of the
merchandise that‟s in our body.
Question: If a person had gone through the tests for allergies, and they had found
they were allergic to forty different things, and each one of them made them
terribly sick, how would you barely start to get away from this so you could start
cleaning yourself? Just with the cleanse?
Doctor Christopher: With the cleanse. They‟ll always be able to accept the juice if
they‟ll chew it. If they‟ll swish it in their mouth, this will satisfy them. And then
they can start adding. And it‟s very gradual. If it is a very severe condition, go
into The Incurables which takes us step by step, and starts in with slippery elm
gruel and one thing and another. And that way it‟s a lot smoother.
109
Question: You cover it in that booklet, The Incurables?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, in The Incurables.
Question: I didn‟t get the herb that came after kale, that you use for wrinkles there.
I didn‟t get the name of it.
Doctor Christopher: Echinacea.
Question: I‟ve never seen that before.
Doctor Christopher: Well, you know there are little better than a million and a half
herbs that we‟ve got cataloged. I‟ve seen 300,000 of them in one big library, all
dried. And there are at least four of those that I don‟t know. But echinacea. The
spelling is echinacea. Yes, echinacea. Another one that‟s very good for taking
wrinkles and things like this is wild geranium. Wild geranium is one of the finest.
You can make a tea of that and concentrate it down, and if you wish mix it with a
little slippery elm and a little comfrey root powder. And use that and apply it at
night, massage it in good, and goodness gracious, you‟d think I‟d be using it. But I
don‟t have time myself to use it, to get rid of my wrinkles.
Question: Is there any special herbs that would be good for building muscle tone
all over the whole body, after you have perhaps lost weight, or gone on the cleanse
and are on the diet?
Doctor Christopher: Well, here we would use our regular blood purifiers of an
astringent type. This would be the best. Going into like your burdock root; it is
astringent. But if you wish to firm it up a little bit more, take three parts of
burdock root, one part of bayberry, and one part of lobelia. And use that as a blood
purifier, and that will help tone up.
Question: Doctor Christopher, if I may ask another question, perhaps the final
question in this series, in this hour? Back to the healing crisis, many researchers
have said that the healing crisis is necessary in that if it is blocked then healing is
retarded. Do you agree with this concept?
Doctor Christopher: If the healing crisis is blocked, you definitely do retard. This
is a fact. As an example, we have toxic poison in the body, and it comes out in the
form of boils. And so we put some inorganic materials on those boils, and close
110
them up on the outside. The poisons are in the body, and sealed in, and later they
come out in a worse condition. No, we‟ve got to be very careful about this.
111
Lecture No. 8 The Eyes – Varicose Veins
We‟re now going to talk about two parts of the body that are extremely important
to most of us, and that‟s the eyes. The eyes are very delicate. We have two of them
and we have no spares. So it‟s either take care of them or come in blind. We have
over the years seen many, many people restore their eyesight. Interesting how it
works.
We had a man in Victoria, British Columbia, that as I was reading his eyes,
looking into the iris, I said “Your eyesight is very poor.” Of course I didn‟t know
he‟d been wearing glasses or anything. And he reached in his pocket and pulled
out a pair of glasses that looked like parts of Coke bottles, they were that thick.
And he said, “I am a jeweler, and it‟s the only trade that I know. And I‟m trying to
feed my family.” And he said, “I‟m losing my eyesight very rapidly.”
Well, we put him on our eyewash program, which I‟ll tell you about, and told him
to use it on the eyes and to drink it. And I said “keep in touch with me. Yours is
an interesting case.” Six weeks passed and I got a card from Victoria, British
Columbia. And this man had sent me a card that said, “I am surely thrilled. I am
using the program, following your entire program but the one with the eyes. I am
now using glasses that I discarded ten years ago.” In other words, each year his
eyes were getting weaker and weaker and he was getting thicker and thicker
glasses. And in six weeks time his eyes had improved so much that he was now
using glasses that he had been using ten years before. Well, his eyes were
completely cured before he was through with this.
But we have had many interesting cases of people who have had their eyesight
restored. In Evanston, Wyoming, a lady used to come to me regularly for
treatments, and she always had, some child would lead her in because she was
blind and had been blind for around twelve to fifteen years. And then she finally
got a seeing-eye dog, and the seeing-eye dog would bring her in. She started on
our program, and one day a lady came in out of the waiting room, and I was quite
surprised because it was this lady, and there was no child leading her and no dog.
And she walked over all smiles to my desk, and she picked up a book and she said
“that looks like an interesting book” and she read the title off of it. And she said to
me “did you ever think I‟d be able to do that?”
112
And I said “I knew you would, but I didn‟t think it would be this quick.” And here
she had been blind, not even able to see a thing, for this many years, and now she
was able to walk in and see clearly.
A man came into us in our Orem office, and he had a hold of a boy, twenty five
years old, his son, was leading him in by the hand. And he said, “My son has
never seen the light of day. He was born blind. We‟ve heard about your cases,
how that people have got their eyesight back, from glaucoma and from cataracts.
Could you help him, being born blind?”
And I said, “I‟ve never had a case like this, but I know what we‟ve got won‟t hurt
him. It‟ll do nothing but good. Let‟s try it.”
He said, “Alright!”
This boy went to work on our program. In less that six months from the day that
we started, with a silent switch he could tell when a light was turned on or off. He
could see light now. In six months. Before the year was out he could tell you
whether it was a car or a truck and the color of it. And by the second year he had
learned to read, and could read fine print without glasses. We‟ve had many, many
cases that have had their eyesight restored. It takes longer with near-sightedness
and far-sightedness ofttimes than it takes to get cataracts removed. This is an odd
thing, but this is a fact. But the program that we use is the same that we have been
striving to put over from the very beginning. We are not working on the effect; we
are working on the cause. And the cause is weakness in a specific area.
Here with the eyes we have put together a number of herbs that are specifically
known and have been used for eons of time to help heal the eyes. These are the
herbs that are in our combination: bayberry bark – now you can substitute oak
bark, but it is a little stronger astringent, and bayberry is what we generally use.
Cayenne, which is your stimulant, and it is an excellent herb. You don‟t have to be
a bit frightened about cayenne damaging your eyes in any way. This, a lot of
people say “oh, cayenne in my eyes? No, heavens no! I would never think of such
a thing!”
Sometimes we are very pleased when our students excel us. I had a student that
had never known what the word herb meant until he had heard me lecture in
Anaheim to the flying saucers convention, where they had asked me to come down
and tell people how they could improve their body, so they could be ready when
the flying saucers came to and, etc. etc. etc. And he‟d heard me talk about herbs,
113
and so he invited me up to Seattle, and sponsored me in Seattle, and he wanted to
know about this subject of herbs. Well, one of the first nights that I was there I
took my glass of water, as I generally do, and put in a tablespoon of cayenne, and
part of another tablespoon, and stirred it up and drank it down. And everybody
gasped and he nearly went into convulsions when he saw it. Well, over the years
time progressed, and I saw him again in Prescott, Arizona. We were on the same
lecture platform. He wasn‟t a student anymore. He‟d found out what the word
herb, H E R B, meant, and he was now teaching herbs.
And so he was on the platform just before me. And he said “my teacher always
would show everybody how innocent cayenne was, and he would drink a glass of
strong cayenne concoction down. I will show you that it is harmless, and this is
what I am going to do.” And there was a big container of cayenne sitting there on
the desk. And he propped his eye open and took the cayenne and threw it right in
his eye.
And I thought “my student, he‟s gone nuts! Oh, to think that he was…” Well, you
know what? He kept on talking. In a little while tears where running down his
cheeks. And finally he wiped the tears away and said, “Now look at those eyes.
Isn‟t that one bright and cheerful?” Well, it just improved that eye. Didn‟t hurt it
in any way at all. Well, I haven‟t been brave enough to do it yet. And that was
one of my students that did it. So, I‟m pretty proud of him.
No, it cannot hurt you. Without the cayenne you‟re not going to get the results.
This is a fact. We also include goldenseal, red raspberry leaves and an herb known
as eyebright. This combination of herbs right here has done so many miraculous
things that it has been imitated a lot. In fact, it was quite interesting. An eye
doctor in Washington, the state of Washington, had heard about our eye wash, and
he wrote down to our office and asked for package of it. We sent it to him. He
asked for a quantity of packages the next time. And the third time he wanted five
pounds of it. And then he learned how to mix it himself. But people fly in to him
from Canada and all over the United States because he is the miracle doctor. He
gets their eyes clear and clean, and the cataracts remove themselves without any
operation.
Well, it‟s just this good. We have seen cataracts removed so quickly, within a
matter of three and four months cataracts have been removed. We have a principle
here of making a tea of these herbs, a teaspoon of the combined herbs to a cup of
boiling water – just pour the boiling water over it. And when it‟s cool enough,
strain it and use it as an eye wash. Or you can even use it in cold infusion, if you
114
wish, which I do. And when this is done, wash your eyes by taking an eye cup and
filling it with the eye wash, and holding it over your eye, putting your head back,
opening your eyes and exercising your eyes, looking out into the eye cup and
letting that liquid work on your eye. Then do the other eye.
After you‟ve made up a cup of it, use what you need for your eye cup for both eyes
and then drink the rest of it. Do this three times or more a day, and we have had
many, many – not hundreds but thousands of people – throw their glasses away.
And I got a call from a man from Phoenix the other day. He‟s always had
someone drive him for the last few years. He‟s a building contractor. And he
called me from a phone. He said “I just wanted to tell you, I am driving myself
now. I don‟t need a chauffeur any more. My eyesight is good and sound.”
We were giving a series of lectures on Thirty Thirty South and Redwood Road,
and it was a hot night this particular night, and we were outdoors. And it was an
open-air lecture. And all of a sudden we heard someone honking their horn and
getting people out of the way, and they tore into this lot where we were, and it was
dusty, and came to a screeching halt, and this man came running over and he says,
“Doctor, come to the car right quick!”
Well, I went over to the car, and his wife was sitting in there crying for all she was
worth. And I said, “What? One of my students from up in Ogden.” And he had
raced from Ogden down to Salt Lake at breakneck speed to get her down here, and
I said, “What in the world‟s wrong?”
Well, she‟d been to the eye doctor that day, and he‟d made a check up on her eyes
and informed her that she had a very rare disease, that anyone that had this disease
– and she was only the second one that he knew of in the state of Utah – lost their
eyesight within three days from the time this hit them. And he said “there‟s no
question about it that you‟ve got it, and there‟s nothing we can do for it. So you‟ll
just have to go home and wait for blindness to set in.”
Well, people don‟t just sit back like this, so she had her husband rush her down to
me. And she, crying, begged, “What can I do?” And I said, “Well, it‟s getting
close to night now. Take the eye wash and wash your eyes every hour or more
often, and when it‟s time to go to bed, make a tea of red raspberry leaves, mullein,
and make this fomentation and put over your eyes, and keep it on there warm for a
half hour at a time. And then when you‟re ready to go to bed, use a ski binder or
something and put the fomentation over your eyes and keep it there all night.”
Well, I says “and the next day, of course, wash those eyes every hour, or more
115
often, with the eye wash, and drink copiously of the tea.” She did not lose her
eyesight, and she could see better than she‟d ever seen before in her life, after she
had gone through a couple of weeks of this routine.
To lose your eyesight and to lose your hearing is a very frightening thing. And we
told you on one of the other tapes how to get your hearing restored. Of course,
hearing loss generally starts with ringing in the ears, and we are always told that
progressive deafness comes from a condition that cannot be cured. There is no
help for it at all. And so after the ringing in the ears and the deafness starts, it‟s
progressive, and you‟ll just get worse. But we have had many of them that have
reversed and can hear a whisper across the room.
Up in the Newhouse Hotel, years ago, a lady was sitting always on the front row.
She had hearing aids in both ears and she was always leaning forward. My back
ached just to watch her because she was always in a cramp listening, and trying to
get every word. And she didn‟t get too many of them. She started with our
hearing routine, the tincture and the oil of garlic that we told you about before, and
within less than a month or so she was sitting at the back of the hall. And she
raised her hand and I said “yes?”
And she said, “Would you mind if I asked the people to keep still? I used to have
hearing aids in both of my ears, and I had to lean forward to hear you from the
front row. I‟m sitting on the back row now, and the whispers are bothering me.”
She said, “will you please shut up?” Well, that just tickled me to death, because
she had her hearing back again, and these are always good feelings when you can
see these things happen.
Let‟s go into another thing now, which will be for varicose veins. We have, in
varicosity, something that is rather frightening, because it develops and gets worse
and worse and worse. We have had patients come to us, and the back of their leg
looks like the road map of Pittsburg – lots of little blue and red lines running
through it, you know. This is bad, because even with people who have had their
legs stripped, veins stripped, and it returns again. Because you have worked on the
effect and have not gone to the cause. We‟re going into the cause now, and the
cause is calcium deficiency. Lack of calcium.
Now we told you about the calcium tea. Right, use plenty of the calcium tea. But
to get relief for those legs that are aching so heavy, and the pressure is so rough on
them, we use a fomentation of oak bark. Oak bark is one of our most common
herbs. You can use the red oak, the white, the shrub oak. You can use most any
116
type. Tanner‟s, or most any of them, and the inner bark is a very, very excellent
astringent that is extremely high in calcium content. What we‟re doing now is
making up a tea of oak bark. All teas are made a teaspoon to the cup, unless
otherwise specified, an ounce to the pint.
You make up the tea. This because it‟s being a bark, has to be made with a
decoction. Now the difference between and infusion and a decoction is, an
infusion is when you just pour liquid over top of an herb and let it set. Now it
could be hot liquid, cold liquid, it could be water, it could be alcohol, it could be
vinegar, or most anything. That‟s an infusion. Just let it sit and steep. But a
decoction is when you apply heat and leave heat with it for a while. This would be
a decoction. There are many herbs that we use just as an infusion, and it‟s the only
way we can use them. Such herbs as blossoms and light leaves and delicate herbs.
You don‟t want to use a lot of heat with them
As an example, you walk into someone‟s house and you take a deep breath of air,
and you smell peppermint tea, or spearmint tea, and you say, “Emmm, that smells
good!”
“Yeah, making some mint tea. Want a glass?”
“Surely I do!” And they hand you a cup and it‟s blah. It‟s just icky! Excuse my
technical terms again. But it just isn‟t good. And why? Because the light, volatile
oils that‟s in that, that are so precious, they are in the air now – that‟s what you
breathe – instead of being in the liquid.
So here you would use. just pour the boiling water over and put a lid on it right
now, cover it right quickly, to keep those oils inside.
Some of them we can use cold infusions. I spent a lot of time with Indian doctors,
Indian medicine men, over the years. We have a lot in common. And it‟s
interesting, because whenever they talk I listen. They‟re pretty smart people. And
Chief Tahachee of the Mayan tribe, we had four hours together. It‟s odd how the
good Lord puts us together at times, we‟d both had accidents with our cars, in
different canyons in different parts of the state, but we were both advised to go to
the same garage – one that neither of us had ever heard before – to get our cars
fixed. And we were there within a few minutes of each other, and they fixed both
of our cars because we both had the same trouble. We‟d each ran over a boulder,
and taken the bottom of the oil pans off. Both of us. And he was miles away, in a
different direction entirely, but we went to the same garage, and the man said “you
117
might as well introduce each other, because you‟ll be together for four hours.
We‟ll fix your cars at the same time.”
And it was Chief Tahachee, and I got to meet him. And we spent four precious
hours together. And we swapped remedies back and forth. And oh it was really
choice. And he said, “Doctor, how do you prepare a sage tea from the wild sage?”
“Oh,” I said “We take the leaves and the twigs and simmer them for five, ten
minutes, and let them steep after. Then pour the liquid off.”
“Oh,” he said, “That‟s excellent. That‟s wonderful. For a horse.”
And I said, “What do you mean, for a horse?”
And he said, “Well, you see, that‟s one herb. That is one of the precious herbs that
we only use cold infusion on. We never heat the wild sage. You put the water on
and let it sit over night, and drink the tea the next day.”
I bow to him. He‟s an intellectual. And I‟ve learned from a lot of these Indian
chiefs. But you know, in return, I had a chance to pay back an Indian chief and his
wife. One of my attorneys – a number of times we‟re in and out of court – well,
anyhow, we have a group of them, and one of them called me from down in
Arizona, and he said “you‟re in town?”
And I said, “Yes, I‟m not leaving tonight.”
And he said, “Well, I‟ll be in there around midnight. Could you wait up for me?
I‟m bringing a patient or two in to you.”
And I said, “Yes, I‟ll wait up.” And close to midnight this man brought in an
Indian chief and his wife, and he led the Indian chief by the hand, and the Indian
chief led his wife. Both the chief and his wife were blind, had cataracts. And the
Indian chief said, “I have heard of you, the white herb man. Could you help us? I
am spiritual chief and medical chief, but I have forgotten much.”
And I said “yes,” and so we put him on the eye wash, and they both got their
eyesight restored. And you know something? That always made me feel good, that
I could pay back a little bit that I have learned from Chief Tahachee and from
Chief Sundance and the others that I have worked with. Thunder Rolling Cloud
and some of them.
118
Now, this particular oak bark that we‟re talking about. We‟re making this into –
see, I got off of Main Street and went over to the post office for a minute. But I‟m
back on Main Street again. And the oak bark, we make it into a tea. But because
of it being a bark, we want to simmer it. But the first thing we do with bark, if
we‟ve got time to do it, we soak them. You soak your bark, and your roots, and
your heavy materials, for four hours, or for six hours, in distilled water, and then in
the same water we low heat them at, try to keep it under a hundred and thirty
degrees. And we‟ll get the ingredients now out of the oak bark. And when it has
sat and steeped for twenty minutes we strain it. Now we put the tea back into a
pan, a clean pan, again, and we simmer it down slowly, until we get it down to one
half its original amount. If you‟ve got two quarts made up of it, get it down to a
quart. We now dip the flannel into this oak tea and put over the varicose areas,
whether it‟s the abdominal area or whether it‟s the legs. If it‟s the legs, as we‟ve
mentioned before, it‟s good to dip cotton or wool white stockings in and soak
them, and then pull those over the legs, and put plastic over that.
It used to be that we used to concentrate the teas down to one eighth, and then it
would be very thick. We had to do it in a double boiler, and then use a camel hair
brush and paint it on. Let it dry between each coat, and we‟d put on ten or twelve
coats of it. And then put on a soft cast, which is bandages and so forth. But the
way we use now, this system of using the fomentations, is far better and easier. So
we pull the cotton of flannel over the leg area and put plastic over that. Now, we
use plastic just to keep the moisture in. It does better working into the leg than it
does on the mattress or dripping down onto the carpet.
We let the individual go to bed and sleep with this all night. Even though they
have been up every hour or so with heavy pressure from the varicose veins giving
them trouble, and then they‟d have to lie back down because of the pressure again,
many of them sleep all night the first night. Because we are going to the cause
now. We‟re feeding oxygen into this system through the tea, and with the oxygen
we‟re carrying with it calcium. And that calcium is rebuilding the weak veins, and
giving them new support and new strength.
This is an extremely important part of the program, the outside use, but it is also
good to drink some of this tea also. If you‟ve got it in the concentrated form, we
do recommend cut it. Use some distilled water and bring it back down again. In
other words, one fourth of a glass of the concentrate tea and three fourths of a glass
of distilled water. Bring it back down because it‟ll sure pucker you up. That
astringency, it would, you‟d be in kissing shape for a long time.
119
We have seen varicose veins brought down in color twenty percent within the first
week, and the pressure off of them within the first night, and by continuing on,
great success has been used. We had a case of a lady from Germany who had had
varicosity for over twenty years. And it was close to twenty five when it first
came, but for twenty years she had phlebitis with running sores, and the doctors
had told her there was nothing they could do to stop the pus and the running of the
sores. If they got bad enough, the only thing they could do was cut the legs off.
That‟s such a cheerful thing to tell a patient, you know.
Well, being from Germany, she had looked around to find some old time doctors,
and she found us. Of course in Germany they were used to people who were
iridologists and could read the eyes. They were used to herbalists and they were
used to dieticians, and they were used to zonal therapists. Well, they got one in a
package, all at once. And so we put her on the program, and this was one of the
things we used for her was the oak bark. And within a matter of weeks she was
improving so much, but you know it didn‟t come to her right off that she was
improving. She just felt that she was feeling better, and didn‟t seem to be so much
pus running out of the phlebitic condition.
She hadn‟t been able to stand for more than ten or fifteen minutes, the longest time
for twenty years that she‟d ever stood on those feet, because her legs would ache
and throb and then she‟d have to sit down. They were having a Relief Society
bazaar there in the old Fifth Ward in Salt Lake, and they asked if she would come
over and just out of courtesy sit there, and if one of the ladies had to be excused for
just a few minutes, if she would take over for just a few minutes until the lady
would come back or they would change shifts. And she said, “Why, yeah, I‟d be
glad to. Yeah, as long as I don‟t have to stand over ten, fifteen minutes.” She got
over there at about eight o‟clock in the morning, and someone didn‟t show. And
so she thought well, I might as well get at the thing, and she stood back of the
counter there at the bazaar, on a concrete floor. And you know, the lady that was
supposed to relieve the first one didn‟t show. And she wound up that evening
rather tired, but she found out that she had been standing on her feet for sixteen
hours, instead of fifteen minutes.
And then she realized what had happened, she sat down, bawled and bawled and
bawled. It was the cutest thing, the way she told me this. It was in broken
German. But she said “I was healed and didn‟t know it until I was forced into it.”
Blessings that come in the craziest ways. And there she stood for sixteen hours,
back of that booth. And her sores were completely healed, after twenty years.
120
So the Lord has given us these wonderful herbs. It‟s up to us to use them, and I
think it‟s so important to learn how. That oak bark, oh, this is wonderful for
varicosity, sure. But we have another problem that comes up to our minds now,
and that is one that‟s called pyorrhea. Maybe you‟ve never heard of pyorrhea, or if
have heard of it, you hope you don‟t get it. Because this is a very serious
condition, but another one where oak bark will work. The Indians used to take the
inner oak bark and peel it thinly, and put a thin peeling of the oak bark up between
the gums and the lips, and leave it in there. And it would heal when they had gums
that were bleeding or teeth that were getting loose.
I‟ll have to tell you a story that I‟ve told. I like this one because it shows how that
things work out. We were in Salt Lake to lecture one night, down on State Street,
and it was during a blizzard and the roads had been blocked for days. And I was
about to go home, forty miles, I was down in Orem. And I thought there‟ll be
nobody show up on a night like this, so why not just lock up the store and go on
home. The oddest thing happened. I decided well, maybe one person would come,
and if one person would come maybe I could help. And I sat there and the
building was full. Crazy people. They came through that blizzard and they came
and they sat and listened.
About half way through I was talking about astringents, and the door opened.
Now, it was a store, where we were, and the big show window had a curtain pulled
across the front of it. And the door opened and as the door opened the street light
showed the blizzard coming in. And the woman stepped in with a great big
muffler around her face, and a hat on and long coat and galoshes, and closed the
door. I said “there‟s a seat down in front” and she just shook her head. I said
“we‟re now going to talk about pyorrhea, and I told them how to take the
powdered oak bark and put up between the lips and the gums, and leave it there all
night long, upper and lower, and keep it there and then put it in fresh periodically.
And put it in there every night, six nights a week. And I said that it will cure the
worst cases of pyorrhea. And I finished this and I started on the next subject, and
the door opened and this lady stepped back out into the storm again and left. It
was rather an odd thing, but I never thought anything more about it.
We had the lecture every week on the same night. And so two weeks later a
woman down in the front – the storms were over and it was back to norm again –
raised her hand and said “could I say something?”
And I said, “Yes.”
121
She stood up and turned to the audience and said “you people would not recognize
me, and I don‟t think the doctor would either. Two weeks ago I stepped inside the
door, during that blizzard, and stood there. The doctor told about using oak bark
for pyorrhea. And after he got through I opened the door and left. I‟ll tell you the
rest of the story. I‟m from a small town some miles away, and I‟d come in by bus
to see a specialist because my local fifth rate doctor, a dentist, couldn‟t do what I
was supposed to have done. I have thirty two perfect teeth, not a filling in them” –
and she was middle-aged – and she said “I found out that all of them were loose,
and bleeding from the gums. I went to the local doctor and he said „worst case of
pyorrhea I‟ve ever seen. We‟ll have to pull all of your teeth.‟” Thirty-two perfect
teeth without a filling.
And she says, “Oh, no, don‟t be ridiculous. My teeth are perfect.”
And he says, “Yes, but the gums aren‟t. There‟s no way we can cure it.” He says,
“I can‟t do it, though. I can‟t take care of it, because I‟m not equipped well
enough. I‟m going to send you into Salt Lake City, to a specialist, and he will take
care of you. You won‟t have any worries. The first time in he will take
impressions, and the next time, two weeks later, why, you‟ll just sit down and he‟ll
pull all your teeth, and then he‟ll put in false teeth for you. That‟s it.”
Well that didn‟t make her a bit happy, but she knew when she got into a first rate
doctor he‟d know how to cure it. So she went into Salt Lake and he said “I‟ve
never seen such a bad case of pyorrhea. Let me take the impressions and we‟ll pull
them in two weeks.”
She said “He took the impressions and I went back to my hotel, because I couldn‟t
get the bus out until next morning. And I walked the floor and I couldn‟t sleep. I
was so weary, I decided to just put my heavy coat and muffler on, my hat and my
galoshes, and walk on the street. I don‟t know Salt Lake but I just walked and I
walked. Thought I‟d get myself tired enough. And I just walked up the street and
down that street and over and across, and all of a sudden I chilled. And I thought
ooofh, if I could just get warm. I saw a light around a big show window and I
heard someone speaking inside. I thought well I could just step in there and get
warm and then leave again. This is where I came to get warm two weeks ago.
Doctor asked me to come up front and I said no. I just wanted to stand there and
get warm. And he said „we‟re now going to talk about pyorrhea.” When he started
talking about pyorrhea I had the best feeling go all over me. I was led there. He
finished. That‟s all I needed to know. I went back to my hotel. I had to find a
122
phone and call a cab, because I couldn‟t of found my way back. And he took me
back to the hotel and I slept like a baby. Next morning I went to a health store and
got some oak bark powder and I didn‟t wait for night. I shoved it up between my
gums and my lips and I even had a hard time telling the bus driver where I wanted
to go… [mumbling] It was pretty bad, but I kept it in there.
“A few days later I went back to my local dentist, and he said „this is a miracle of
God. I‟ve never seen anything like this. I could cancel your appointment in Salt
Lake, but I want you to go on in there. I want you show it to that specialist. So
that‟s where I was today. I went in and showed him. And he said, “There‟s
nothing in medical science that could do a thing like this. The good Lord has
blessed you in some way.‟”
Well, the good Lord did bless her. He let her wander back and forth around these
streets until just exactly the right time. And at the right time she got chilled, and
she stepped inside our doors. I said “we‟ll tell you what to do about pyorrhea.”
The lord works in peculiar ways. I‟m sure glad I‟m one of his servants. Really
glad.
Let‟s answer a few questions now, if we may.
Question: I‟m just wondering if this eye wash would clear up glaucoma?
Doctor Christopher: Anything that is wrong with the entire eye area. Regardless.
Whether it is the muscle, the nerves, the tear ducts. Because what we are doing is
what we have strived from the beginning. Now you weren‟t here at the beginning,
but we have said herbs are foods. There are no medicines and no drugs in the form
of drugs. They are foods. But the specific herbs feed the specific parts of the body
better than they do other parts. And this combination of herbs that we have given
you are herbs that will feed the eye.
We have people call us long distance and they say, “Oh, that eye wash of yours!
It‟s horrible stuff. Why, before I started using it I never had this problem, but I get
up in the morning now and my eyes are glued together, and I have to soak them
open, and the pus is running out, and the tears are coming out all the time. What
kind of stuff you giving me?”
Well, I said, “Do you want to keep that toxic poison in your safety deposit box all
your life?” Oh, that‟s it, huh? Why, sure, because what we have given you is a
group of herbs that has cell prolifency, that go in and makes the good cells grow
123
rapidly, and throw off the bad cells. And the bad cells come out in the form of pus
and tears, and flush the eyes out. Oh, you always get worse before you get better,
but it works, folks, and it works beautifully well if you‟ll just give it a chance.
Question: Will this eye wash do much for an eye cancer that keeps coming back?
Doctor Christopher: With a case of cancer, we recommend going into the little
book The Incurables, and start right from the beginning, and use the eye wash
along with it. Because I say again there are no incurable diseases. Just incurable
patients. So don‟t be an incurable patient.
Question: With the powdered oak bark and pyorrhea, is there any way a person can
get that to stay there?
Doctor Christopher: Well, it will come down with the saliva, but you tamp it in like
you would with snus. Oh, you girls don‟t know about snus, but you tamp it up in
there and you‟ll get enough to stay and it‟ll do the job. We also tell in the back of
the little book The Three Day Cleanse and the Mucusless Diet about a tooth
powder that has oak bark in it. And that has helped bring a lot of people‟s gums
back good and solid.
Question: What causes ridges on the fingernails.
Doctor Christopher: Ridges on the fingernails is generally calcium deficiency. A
little problem in the heart sometimes. There are books that go into diagnosing
through the nails, and they‟re quite interesting to read. I haven‟t gone into it too
much. I‟ve read it through, but this is generally calcium deficiency.
Question: When using the eye wash, and this discharge occurs, if it becomes
obnoxious and your eyes become tender, do you just wait a while and start it
again?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, just taper it off. In other words, make it a little weaker,
but keep using it. You know, as the cell structure gets healthy, it pushes clear from
the back of the eye to the front, and pushes this basic waste matter out. And this
one little lady said that though she‟d been blind for fifteen years, this one morning
she felt her way into the bathroom. It felt as if she had some phlegm under her
eyelid. She propped it open and took a piece of Kleenex and wiped it out, and she
could see after fifteen years. It was the cataract that had come to the surface. She
wiped it off. A couple of days the other one cleared. And this is when she said
124
“you look about what I thought you‟d look like. Everybody in this room looks
beautiful! First time I‟ve seen people like this.” Well, it‟d be wonderful after
fifteen years to have your eyesight restored right quick like that.
Question: How do you mix that eyebright, water wise, liquid-wise?
Doctor Christopher: The eye wash itself? Yes, a teaspoon to the cup. Just mix it up
and use what you need for the eyes, and then drink the rest of it. So that you‟d get
at least a cup a day taken internally.
Question: There‟s one researcher who has claimed that parasites are responsible for
much of the eye problems and eye deficiencies. How do you feel about that,
Doctor Christopher?
Doctor Christopher: Well, we blame the parasites, and the devil, we blame…
{laughter] Well, anyhow, we told you how to use the lower bowel and the blood
purifiers, and any parasites we can get rid of. And if they are really nosey little
guys, and want to stick around too long, use plenty of black walnut tea, and drink
that. And you know, those parasites will go next door to live. They don‟t like
black walnut tea. That is a killer for fungus and parasites and things of this type.
Question: Would that be the husk of the black walnut? Not the nut, but the husk?
Doctor Christopher: The husk itself. Or you can use the bark or the leaves. They
all have plenty of potassium in them to do the healing, that they are great.
Question: Now, would this black walnut tea be a drink then?
Doctor Christopher: You would drink that, and you could also use it externally. It
can be used both ways. I‟ll go into black walnut a little bit in the morning. I‟ll jot
that down and we‟ll remember that.
Question: Maybe we could do something with our hair.
Doctor Christopher: Well, I‟ll tell you, as far as hair is concerned, you‟re looking
at mine. If I had time I wouldn‟t even take time to do anything about it, because I
don‟t have to look at it. But people who wash their hair with yarrow tea, it‟s an
herb that‟s very plentiful and lots of it, they will get their natural hair color back
again. If their hair was black, it will come black, even though it‟s white. If it was
125
red it will come red. One of the most interesting things that had happened to me,
over the years we had had a student and a patient for better than thirty five years,
that had come out regularly, from time to time, to my lectures. And the first time I
had ever saw this lady – she was a secretary in Salt Lake – she had the most
beautiful strawberry blond hair. It was just very attractive. And over the years I
watched it go white, gradually, and finally it was all white. And then we had
another series of lectures, and she dropped in and she had strawberry blond hair
again. And I took a double take. And she said “oh, it isn‟t dyed. I had some spare
time and I was going back over my notes from years ago, and I saw where you told
us to use yarrow tea. So I started rinsing my hair two or three times a week with
yarrow tea. The strawberry color started to come back again. I‟m just tickled to
death! I just love it!”
Well, it was her natural color, and it was just like it was before. I know of a
Mexican man. And very seldom do they go white haired in Mexico, for some
reason or another. I guess it‟s the way they eat. But this man had started to go
white headed quite early in life. And he started using yarrow tea, and he continued
using yarrow tea, and always had black hair. And he was an old, old man when I
ran onto this case. So you can take care of that hair and help it a lot.
Question: I read that when the iris of the eye was small, unduly small, that was a
plain symptom of, uhm – which disease is it, of the eye?
Doctor Christopher: Glaucoma?
Question: Glaucoma.
Doctor Christopher: When you have a case of glaucoma, and you‟ll start using the
eye wash, you can go to your regular eye doctor and have him take the pressure on
the eye before, use the eye wash for a period of a week and go back, and you‟ll
find the pressure is changed in glaucoma. And that‟s evidence enough to know
that healing is starting.
Question: Will this eye wash take away the strain and the itching and that that
comes from the…
Doctor Christopher: Definitely so. Yes, it will give ease. Many people who study
a lot, do a lot of research, drafting, things like this, they use the eye wash and it
clears them up.
126
Question: I‟d just like to make one quick comment. I was using the eye wash and
had some of this discharge coming from them, and was a little bit uncomfortable,
stopped for a while and started again. And as I went to a football game one day,
here at the Cougar stadium, they let out the blue and white balloons when they
made the first touchdown. And when the balloons, I could hardly see them, I could
still see the strings hanging from them. And that to me was quite a testimony of
this eye wash, because I was to the point where it was hard for me to read.
Doctor Christopher: [laughing] And then you see – I like that. That is good.
Thank you very much.

Lecture No. 9 The Cold Sheet Treatment – The Incurables Routine
Today we are going to talk on some of the very important things that we‟ll need
during the period coming up, which period will be a time of cleansing. As we
mentioned before, between now and the year two thousand, give or take a little
time, there will be the Saturday night cleansing. As a child we always, during the
depression years, had our bath on Saturday night, but we saved the water over from
wash day on Monday, and it had lots of Fells Napa soap in it. It‟s a wonder my
skin survived. But we had to be clean for Sunday morning. Well, we‟re getting
ready for the Sabbath, which is a thousand years of peace. A thousand years where
a child can live the age of a tree, and there will be no hurt or death in all my
kingdom, says the Lord. As the lamb will lie down with the lion, the bear with the
ox, and it will be a peaceful area to live in.
But to be able to fill the requirements to live during this time, we must have a
healthy body. We must be able to absolutely ignore disease. Let it take care of
itself. We‟re not going to pamper it. During the army years, while I was
practicing there, I averaged thirty five to forty patients a day, at Fort Lewis,
Washington, and those soldiers brought into me every type of disease known, and
any that weren‟t known they located them, and brought them in. Contagious
diseases of all kinds, but I kept my body in a good condition. I was at that time
strictly vegetarian, living on live food, and I never got a sniffle during the entire
time, even though they came in – oh, big brutes of soldiers with chicken pox and
mumps and measles and everything else. Well, this is what we‟re trying to teach in
our program now is building your body, so that you can absolutely live through the
plagues. Live through the hardships that are coming, and knowing that you are on
the closing scenes. Sit back, helping other people and enjoying the fact that you
have been chosen to come in with the Aquarian age, to bring in our new
civilization. This, I think, is one of the greatest blessings in my life is to know that
I am a servant, trying to teach these things.
Let‟s talk about colds now. This is generally what foreruns most of our problems.
The cold is supposedly something that is incurable. Though we have settled on the
moon, and we have traveled our equipment around Mars, but we can‟t cure the
common cold nationwide. But as herbalists we promise you you can cure the
common cold without any difficulty. If you will just discontinue all solid foods, be
sure to take plenty of liquid into your body, lots of water during this time. More
than your gallon if necessary. And use the lower bowel remedy that we have
already given you in one of our earlier tapes. But, no solid foods, and any liquid
128
taken into the body would be either water or juices. But the most important thing
that you‟re going to be taking into your body would be red raspberry leaf tea, from
the common red raspberry bush that grows out, I hope, in your back yard. Because
this is one of the great herbs of all times. This is so high in calcium and iron, in the
acids that will counteract and fight the virus and the problems that come with the
common cold.
So, if we will drink plenty of red raspberry tea. Oh, just by the gallon. Let‟s not
be stingy with it. I remember up in Great Falls, Montana – I practiced there for a
period of time – and one of my patients called and said “we‟re in trouble. The flu
has hit here and it‟s the stomach intestinal flu. And the people who are coming
down with it are down for weeks at a time. And we‟re kind of frightened.”
Well, this dear soul had eight children and she and her husband, and only one
bathroom. That might have been the problem, I don‟t know. But she would have
been the one that would have been on the rough end, taking care of them. “What
can I do?”
And I said well, “Last time I was to your house on a house call I remember you
had a big patch of raspberries out in the back. Well you go out and just gather
raspberry leaves. Now don‟t strip a tree, never take more than a third off of any,
any plant, shrub or tree that you work with, because this is what is called herbal
raping, and it would kill a plant if you took all of their leaves off. So use some
from each. Make up gallons and gallons. Just fill all of your pans full of red
raspberry leaf tea. And as your eight children” she had at this time “come in
they‟ll want some loving, give them red raspberry leaf tea. If they want something
to drink, red raspberry leaf tea. If they want something to eat, red raspberry leaf
tea. And that‟s it. Nothing else. And keep their bowels clean.”
Well, she said “I‟m worried because we‟ve got two at home right now that have
come home with the flu, and it‟ll scatter through this family because the house is
so small.”
Well, I said, “Get right at it and start pouring it down them immediately. And each
of you, you and your husband too.”
Well, a couple of weeks passed and we saw the lady again. She said, “The two
children that came home with the flu, they went to school the next day, and have
stayed in school, and not one of the rest of us came down with the flu.”
129
This we have used, we have tested this program over the years, and it works. One
of my sons, I had a bad cold, and he told this in an audience and I hadn‟t known
about it. And he said “I had heard dad talk about red raspberry leaf tea so I said
„well, there‟s the answer.‟ Well I got up in the morning and my head was all
stopped up, and my eyes were running, and my nose was running.” You know,
humans are funny people – we find out that the feet smell and the nose runs.
[laughter] We get just a little backwards sometimes.
But anyhow, he was in a bad way, so he started on the red raspberry leaf tea, early
in the morning, and by the evening he was feeling like a million dollars. So he and
his wife went out to dinner. Well, you can imagine. They put in a bunch of this
and that, and he woke up the next morning and he had it again. Well, he thought
“I‟ll just go back on the red raspberry leaf tea, and stay on it longer this time.” But
it didn‟t work. You‟ve got to clean it up the first time around. He had to go on the
plague remedy and cleared it up. But we‟ll tell you about that later.
But this is the way it works. You just use nothing but your red raspberry leaf tea,
and the bowel remedy, and you will get results that will be very, very pleasing.
Now, if you have questions as we go along, jot them down because we‟ll try and
have a question and answer period.
Supposing now that the cold has gotten a little out of hand, and we now have
what‟s known as pneumonia. This is something that we panic on. We are
frightened. But we‟re going to give you a program now that has worked in so
many, many instances. We have had people who have had pneumonia so severe
that it was figured they couldn‟t survive any longer than the following day, and
nothing could be done to help them. But with the program we‟re going to give you
now, which is called the cold sheet treatment, this particular program has brought
these people out of it. And it has been a rather intriguing thing to watch people
snap to after they‟ve been close to death. And it really makes converts out of
them, I promise you. They are really happy with it.
So the first thing we do with a patient who has a high fever and in a case of
bronchial congestion or pneumonia, we give them an enema. As we mentioned
before, we only use enema in case of emergency. But this enema would be a
catnip enema. And give it cold, cold catnip tea, a copious amount. And have them
do jogging and exercising. If they have a lot of fever, why you do a little
exercising for them. Help massage and do things for them. But when they have
voided from this particular enema that you have given them.
130
Now the reason we give a cold enema is, if you give a hot one, or an oil enema, or
a hot suds enema or something of this type, the heat will expand the orifice, the
anus, and the rectal area, and it‟ll flood right back out again. It will not stay in.
But by taking a cold enema, it contracts, and it will hold the water in to soak
through. If you‟ve got a dirty old pan, you just don‟t throw water in and throw it
right back out. You let it stay and soak a while. So that‟s what we‟re doing.
We now take the individual, after they have had the enema, and we give them a
garlic tea injection. In herbology, and the holistic program, the injection never
means a needle. Under any condition, we don‟t use the needle. We do not believe
in breaking then hermetically sealed skin that‟s on the outside of the body and
injecting into the bloodstream or other parts of the body things that are
questionable, even though they are supposed to be sterile.
So, we give an injection, which is with a syringe, and we give up to a pint,
according to the size of the individual and the capacity of their bowel, of course.
But you don‟t want to give an enema here, which would be a quart or two, just
something to retain – that‟s why it is called an injection. And this would be garlic
tea. We make the garlic tea by using distilled water and apple cider vinegar, half
and half. We use a pint of it, and we add to this finely grated garlic. Peeled garlic,
of course, fresh garlic. Finely grated or, if you wish, put your apple cider vinegar
and distilled water into a blender and then drop your buttons of garlic in, one at a
time, until they kind of liquefy. Make it so that it‟s fine enough that it will go
through the nozzle of the syringe. It will sometimes take a whole bulb, if they are
tiny bulbs of garlic, otherwise four or six or whatever it takes of the buttons, until it
is still thin enough that it can go through the syringe nozzle ok.
We have the individual now lie on a slant board, with the head down, or with the
buttocks elevated so that the abdominal area is sloping downhill, and inject the pint
of – smaller amounts for a child, of course – of garlic tea. Now this must never be
made hot, because garlic loses its value when it goes above one hundred and thirty
degrees. So keep it on a low heat, but if you‟re ever going to use garlic heated at
all, always under a hundred and thirty, but here we‟re using it cold. The cold
enema, and now the cold injection. We want to hold that garlic injection in as long
as possible. Do exercising, and what it is doing now is killing infection, and
getting the body in readiness. After the individual has voided the garlic tea that
they have taken internally, we now take them into the bathroom, and the tub is
already been prepared. If the individual has very delicate skin around the genitals,
then put some ointment over the genitals, the orifice openings, the vagina, one
131
thing and another, like Vaseline or something of this type. Then we put them into
the tub, and the tub is filled with hot water, as hot as can be stood by yourself.
You put your own elbow in, or your hand, and if it‟s too hot for you don‟t put your
patient in (unless you don‟t like them). And now when you‟ve got the right
temperature you also, before putting the patient in, put in from a tablespoon up to
an ounce of cayenne pepper. From a tablespoon to an ounce of powdered Jamaica
ginger. If you can‟t get Jamaica, then African ginger will be all right. And from a
tablespoon to an ounce of powdered mustard seed. Now this sounds like a hot time
in the old town tonight, doesn‟t it? Well, it is, because these are all diaphoretic
herbs, sweating herbs. We stir it up and then we put the person in, and let them
simmer… uhm, sweat. [laughter] It sounds like a barbecue, but it really isn‟t.
Now, after they have been in for a while, what this liquid is doing, with the three
herbs in that we have just put in, is opening up the pores of the body, and the pores
of the body are the windows and the doors of the temple. This is the temple of
God, and God will not dwell in an unclean tabernacle. Well, as long as those doors
and windows are nailed shut, as they are with a sweat that hasn‟t been washed off,
that‟s hardened, that‟s sticky, with cosmetics, with dirt and filth that have
accumulated over the years. That sounds awful, but you‟d be surprised at what we
have seen in the past. We want to clean this all out because those pores, the doors
and windows, will let the liquid go into the body, and offer oxygen to the venous
structure, which is actually the breath of life.
But it‟s a two way door and a two way window. It will bring out the toxic poisons.
And as it brings those poisons out, then we are working two ways. The person has
been there a little while, and now they are beginning to get dry and hot, and they
want something to drink. They want a good cold drink of something or another.
We give them a hot cup of diaphoretic tea. Now the diaphoretic tea is anything
that is of a sweating herb type, like you can use blessed thistle, you can use catnip,
you can use yarrow, you can use raspberry leaves. There are many of them. They
are all fine. But our pet, our favorite, is yarrow. This is one of the greatest
medicinal sweating herbs that we have, which is what a diaphoretic herb is. So
instead of giving them good, cold drink, we give them a hot cup of – not too hot
now, but you know, so their body can take it – of yarrow tea. And, well, they don‟t
like it too well, but it‟s wet, and it doesn‟t taste bad. I kind of like yarrow tea
myself. But they drink it because it‟s wet. And in a little while you give them
another one, and another one, and you keep giving them yarrow tea.
And finally they say “hmm, I think I‟ve had too much yarrow tea.”
132
And you say, “Oh, no, we have an actual test for that. If you‟ll lean over to the
right,” and they‟ll sit up in the tub and lean over to the right. Now if no tea runs
out the right ear they haven‟t had too much. [laughter] So we just give them some
more tea. I‟m being a little facetious here but I mean just that, because what we‟re
doing now is changing a picture we have had since the time we were small
children, that germs are vicious, dangerous things, and that as soon as the body is
full of germs we should take a shot or an inoculation and kill all of those germs.
Get rid of „em. We don‟t believe that in our program – the holistic routine. Germs
are our friends, they are our garbage men, and they have come in because we have
opened the door and invited them in in the first place. If we didn‟t have a bunch of
filth and garbage in our body, the germs would never be interested. Just like a
couple of flies flying into a good, clean kitchen and one of them says to the other
“ugh, what an obnoxiously clean place! Let‟s get out of here.” But they go into a
dirty, filthy kitchen and say “hmm, a nice place to rear our children and our
grandchildren. Let‟s get started.”
Alright, they‟ve got to have cleanliness to get rid of these kind of things, and so
whenever our body has germs in them this is nature‟s way of trying to get us
cleaned out. They are scavengers. So we‟re, instead of trying to kill the germs, we
are going to make them multiply. And with the heat, the moist heat, which is a
lifesaver – dry heat is death, but moist heat is the Garden of Eden – and we are
making an incubator here that will make the germs rapidly increase, and they‟ll
have their great-great-grandchildren right quick now.
But, you know what happens? As those germs increase and there‟s more and more
of them, they‟ve got to have plenty to eat, and they‟re going to consume the
Mucus, the toxins, the dirt and the filth that‟s in your body. And there‟s plenty of
it. And when all of that is gone, there‟s no more work for the garbage men, and
they‟ll leave. And that‟s the crisis. The healing crisis. When the garbage men go
home.
But, we don‟t work it the right way. I don‟t know whether you folks have ever
been like I have. I‟ve been in New York and Chicago and Detroit when they have
been in garbage strike problems. And I remember going to the airport in Detroit,
when I had to hold my nose and all the windows were up on the taxi cab, and the
stench was awful because they were putting over three thousand tons of garbage on
those streets every twenty four hours. And the garbage men weren‟t working.
Now, what have we done with the garbage men, the germs in our body? We take a
shot and kill them off. Now we‟re in trouble, because we haven‟t got anybody to
133
clean up this mess. And on top of that the heart is laboring more and more and
more. And as it labors to try and pump all the sludge of our filthy body through, it
has now all the corpses of the garbage men; the germs are there and it‟s got to
pump through too. And it slows it down, and so it drains the calcium out of the
body, out of the veins, out of the muscles, out of the bones themselves, and this is
rheumatic fever. This is the basis of rheumatic fever, and a rheumatic heart comes
from a heart that has been worked to death. Because there isn‟t enough calcium,
enough food in that body, to keep it sustained. This is how polio starts, and all of
these things, because we have not worked with the germs.
Alright, I‟ve talked long enough so that the person can be sweating in the tub. So
that‟s why we‟ve been chatting here. But now the person has been in the tub long
enough that they feel like they‟re getting a little tired now, a little drowsy, and so
you say “fine, stand up.” You may have to help them up. As they step out of the
tub you have a nice little surprise for them. Out of a tub, or a big pan, you pull a
great big double sheet that has been soaked in cold water. Ice water, preferably.
And you take that double sheet and you throw it around shoulders and pin it down
their sides, so that just their head and neck is sticking out of the wet sheet. Wet,
cold, clammy sheet. Now that sounds sadistic, but really it‟s rather refreshing after
all that sweating, to have this cold thrown around you for a little while. And then
it‟s a little droopy and drippy.
But we take them now with the sheet on into the bedroom, and the bed has already
been prepared. Over the mattress we put plastic or a rubber sheet, so that the liquid
from the wet sheet the person is wearing, and they‟ll wear during the night, is not
going to damage the mattress. The next thing that we do, we cover the plastic or
the rubber sheet with a cotton sheet. We now put the individual on this cotton
sheet, and cover them with another cotton sheet. I specify cotton. It could be
cotton, linen, silk, any whole fibers. No man-made cloth of any type. And over
the sheet we pile on blankets. They can be wool, cotton or silk again, or camelhair,
any type of blankets from natural fiber. If we put on synthetic sheets and synthetic
blankets, we are in trouble with our patient, because sixty percent of all the breath
of life that goes into the body, the breathing comes from the chin down. Sixty
percent of all the oxygen comes into our body. And if we‟re going to wear nylon,
if we‟re going to be covered with nylon while we‟re in a sickened condition, lying
in a bed there, so that the body cannot breathe, we‟re in trouble. So this is why we
stay with natural fibers.
We have now the individual all wrapped up, and we throw back the covers and
bare the feet, so the foot is there without any covering on it, and we put on it a
134
garlic paste. Now the garlic paste is already been prepared and ready. We make
this for adults. We grate garlic very fine, or blend it down, and mix it half and half
with Vaseline. Now some of you are kind of alarmed that we would use anything
low vibration like Vaseline, because it is a pertolol.., it is a petrolol…, well, it‟s
from the soil. [laughter] My goodness. We should, we think, use wheat germ
ointment, or vitamin E, you know, or anhydrous lanolin, or something like this.
But the reason we don‟t use those is because that goes into the skin very quickly,
and would leave the garlic on the outside to burn. Where the Vaseline, being a
petroleum type, will stay in suspension.
So, we mix it half and half, we put it on about a half to three quarters of an inch
thick of this paste, over the entire sole of the foot. Don‟t put it up on the sides, just
on the bottom of the foot. You see, as you know for any of you who have studied
reflexology, zonal therapy, you know that the nerve ends from every part of the
body finish off in the foot, in the sole of the foot. And so this is where we‟re
working with the garlic, to pull it out. And if you don‟t think garlic is effective,
when you go home today one of you peel a button of garlic and put it on the
linoleum floor, and let the other one, who has never touched the garlic, put their
bare foot on it, and hold that bare foot on for ninety seconds. Ninety seconds. A
minute and a half. And the oil of the garlic will go through the skin, into the
bloodstream, into the lungs, and the individual who has stepped on that garlic will
smell like they‟ve just come out of a pizza parlor. That‟s how powerful it is.
So now we‟re putting this on the sole of the foot. Remember it‟s a soul food.
[laughter] We now put a gauze over this, and then wrap it lightly with bandages.
We put over the top of the bandages, to keep the material in place, a large white
cotton or wool sock. And then after the socks are on we put the wet sheet back
over top of the whole foot, and pin it along the bottom, cover the blankets over,
turn out the lights and let them go to sleep. Now you‟re a little concerned, because
you know that they‟re all pinned into this sheet, and in a fouled up mess there, and
they ought to get up and go to the bathroom right away because they drank so
much tea and soaked so much through the skin. Don‟t worry about that, because
this is part of the condition of incubating it, again. The subconscious mind,
knowing that the individual that it‟s taking care of should be comfortable, knows
that it‟s lying in a sloppy, cold, wet sheet, and that isn‟t good. And so it wants to
dry the sheet out for the individual. So it starts to generate heat from the very
marrow of the bones right on out through the system, and throws the heat out. And
that heat goes out and dries that sheet, and when it dries the sheet, the liquid from
the body is being used up right now, and they will not have to get up to urinate.
135
It was interesting, in a lecture just a week or so or go, some city I was in, a lady
raised her hand and said, “Yes, I felt so uncomfortable rolling around in that sheet
that I decided oh, phooey, I‟ll throw the blankets off and fall off to sleep.” Well,
she threw the blankets off, and she said within a half hour she had to get up and go
to the bathroom. Alright, she had defeated the whole thing. You‟ve got to sweat,
and sweat heavy.
Now this will set up the germ population again, for anything that hasn‟t been taken
out in the first place. But, as this heat leaves the center of the body, and works out
toward the cold, wet sheet, and dries the sheet – by morning the sheet is generally
fairly dry – and when you take the person out of the bed in the morning, take off
the covers and the sheet, you will sponge them down with warm apple cider
vinegar and distilled water, half and half. This distilled water and vinegar is to
clean off the additional sweat that is on the body, because if that‟s allowed to
harden on we‟re going to close and plug up those pores again. We don‟t want that.
We want those pores open, so that the breath of life, the oxygen, life itself, can
flow through the skin.
Then we clean up the bed, and put on fresh linen, and put them back in again.
Though they feel like a million dollars, they‟re ready to go out and turn the world
upside down and straighten everything out, but they‟re still a little on the weak
side. So put them into bed and give them herbal teas and liquids the first day. And
don‟t give them any solid foods at all. Keep those bowels clear, with giving them
the lower bowel tonic that we have told you about.
Now, as you take that big double sheet – don‟t use a single sheet because it will
confine them. They‟ve got to have enough room that they can roll in their sleep
and that won‟t wake them up – so now, as you take this sheet and look at it, you
may gasp. We have all types that come off of people. But we have brought the
poisons right out of the body. We have brought old drugs out, old pharmaceuticals
that have been in that body since early days, when they were children even. And
because they were of a low vibration type, they have lain in there dormant. And
now the heat that is generated in the body makes these very drugs come out into
the open, and it come out to the sheet.
We have seen some of these sheets that have green, black, brown, yellow, yellow
from the sulfur, black from the coal tar derivatives such as aspirin and things of
this type, and your purple from your potassium permanganate, and so on and so on.
And that sheet could be a many colored sheet, but it is dyed in there and it will
136
never be a white sheet again, because if you put enough Clorox in there to get it
white it will fall into shreds, because it is a pure dye.
This is one of the greatest blessings, and why a person always feels so good after
they‟ve come out of one of these cold sheet routines. Because what we have done
now is given them a cleaning out like they have never had before. Now this can be
used with any age group, from a baby, little newborn infants, up to people who are
seriously ill. People say “oh, they might have a heart attack, with putting them into
this cold sheet and all that.” It‟ll just make that heart sit up and take notice and say
“well, let‟s get to work here! Let‟s not be laying around fussing.”
This is so important that we have used it on people who have been close to death.
People who have been told they couldn‟t live past the night through. And they
have lived from there on.
The program of the cold sheet treatment is such an unusual one that people kind of
panic. They‟re afraid to use it. They‟re just scared to death. Well, don‟t be afraid,
because it can‟t do anything but good for you. This is a fact. We even have people
who are tobacco addicts, we have some who are on dope, others who are
alcoholics, that, with their approval, and their desire and want to do it, they‟ll go
into this cold sheet program, and it has assisted them. There are many ways it can
be used.
Doctor Loretta Foot, our obstetrician while we were practicing in Salt Lake, has
saved, had while she was alive, saved a number of babies that were set to one side
because they were born with an asthmatic condition or pneumonia, or their lungs
were all stopped up. And she would do a simplified cold sheet treatment on them.
This is not anything new. This goes clear back to Father Kneipp, the European
system. All we have done is, we have built our herbal teas in, and the cleansing.
And we have kept this to a point where it is more complete than it has been prior to
this.
Let‟s now go from the cold sheet treatment into another type of program that we
feel is extremely important, and that program is called the incurables. That is the
little book The Incurables, which is a silly name – why write on something that is
incurable? Well, because it isn‟t always that way. They can be cured. There are
no incurable diseases, as we say again, just incurable patients. People who are not
faithful enough to go on through with it. Or people whose time has come. I can‟t
tell how long you have got to live, or you, or you, or you. You could live a
thousand years, or you may die tomorrow. The good Lord knows, and he says
137
your time has come. This is the hour, and this is the day. Everything moves in its
time and its season. There is an hour to be born and an hour to die. And I can‟t
tell you if you‟re going to survive the incurables or not. But, if your time hasn‟t
come I promise you, you follow it through and you‟re going to survive. And
you‟re going to be all right.
The beautiful part about it is, it relieves the pain. It gives comfort. Our first
introduction to the incurables, over thirty years ago, was the Johanna Brandt grape
cure. We had used this and we saw remarkable results. Right, but from that we
have added and done other things that have speeded it up.
You know, sometimes, if you folks are serious, and you want to go into the
principle of helping other people, you have got here an opportunity which is one of
the finest things in the world, because the only way you can live, and love living, is
helping other people. And if you want to help other people, here is a chance to do
it. But then the time will come when someone will say “oh, don‟t go over to that
house, because they‟re about ready to cash in. And if they die and you‟re trying to
take care of them, they‟ll report you, and you‟ll get taken up for manslaughter.”
Well, this happens, and it has happened many times. Because we don‟t know the
time.
Interesting cases like this have come up in my life, and I have been brought up on
charges of this type. But we have been freed, because it was proven that instead of
killing the individual, where they were supposed to die within the next day or two,
with all the help that had been given them, we took the pain away from them and
kept them and kept them alive for months, and they lived the first happy days over
a period of time that they had known. And so we were freed in these cases, but we
were advised against going there in the first place.
So, when you get into the program of the incurables, you have got a program
wherein, if you‟re going to help other people, you‟ve got to be brave. But this is
compiling the things that we have done over the years, that brought people back to
good health again. People who have been seriously ill, things such as multiple
sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, stroke, curvature of the spine – this is cancer, an
advanced, inoperable cancer, cancer of the bone. This is used for some of the most
dreaded diseases known to mankind, but they can be helped with the program.
And in this little booklet we cite a couple of cases that are interesting, I think.
One of them was a young man that had been on a mission for the church that he
was in, the LDS church, and he came back in his twenties, very full of life and
138
energy. But all of a sudden he went down with a combination of polio and
arthritis. And when he was wheeled into the lecture hall, where I was lecturing in
Mesa, Arizona, his good, kind friends gently lifted him out and with just moving
him, you could see the pain of expression on his face. And they put him on a large
pile of pillows. And I watched him during that lecture period, and that night I was
talking about the incurables. And they put him back in the wheelchair and he came
over to me and said, “Oh, if I could only have that help! I have a hospital and
doctor bill, I‟ll have to work for years to pay it off. They tell me that my next step
from the wheelchair is in the bed, permanently. And I don‟t have long to live. But
I have nobody to help me. I‟m alone.”
And a good, sweet soul standing there, a practical nurse from in Prescott, Arizona,
said, “Ahw, I‟ll take you home with me and I‟ll help you.”
He said, “I haven‟t any money.”
She said, “Aw, we‟ll make it go.” And she took him home with her. I saw him
again, but it was a year later and I had forgotten all about this case. I was back at
the same lecture hall. And I stood up at the podium ready to start my lecture and a
man came in the back door and trotted down toward the front. A little bit of a
limp, but he came down to the front. He said, “Can I say a word, doctor?” And I
took a double take. This was Jerry Black. This was the boy that had been there in
that wheel chair one year before.
And he said “I hope you folks listen to what‟s being told you tonight, because
some of you remember, I was here a year ago, incurable and hopeless. The
program of the incurables I followed, with the help of a sweet sister that helped
me, and you see me coming in, not in a wheelchair, but I walked in. I‟m sold.”
And he left.
I saw him almost a year later. I was over in Tempe, Arizona, speaking on a
Sunday night to a chapel filled with young teenagers. And a young fellow worked
his way up the aisle and came up. There was no limp. It was Jerry Black again.
And he shook my hand and says “thanks, doc.” He went back and found a seat, but
you know, that was good pay. The finest pay that you could ever ask for.
Now the incurables. It‟s something that you can do at home, if you‟ve got
someone to help you. We have some people do it alone, but they have a little
harder time than by having someone give you just a little bit of a hand. Now the
very things that we do is to go into our regular routine, of course, to clean out the
139
body and get the bloodstream flowing well. And so, with the people that are in an
advanced case, people who have been opened up, sewn back up again, go home,
they‟ve only got a few months to live, or a month, or a few days. Alright, these are
the severe cases, or a person that‟s in the wheelchair.
We start off by giving them, the first week their food will be carrot juice. Now
people can live many, many months on just carrot juice, but each mouthful must be
chewed. And chewed thoroughly. Swished in the mouth so the saliva is mixed
with it. They can drink any amount of carrot juice that they desire, from a quart up
to a gallon, so that they‟re happy with it. But during that day – you don‟t gulp it
down, you just take it with a little dignity – during that day they‟ll also have a cup
of slippery elm gruel. The slippery elm is one of the great foods that God has
given us. Even when people can‟t hold water on their stomach, and throw it up,
they can always hold slippery elm gruel. And they can fatten up on it. It‟s one of
the greats, I mean.
This slippery elm gruel, you have to make a paste with it and then thin it down,
because the powder will not mix with water too well. But you can make it as thick
or as thin as you want, but at least a cup a day, or more preferably. And then each
day we use the lower bowel palliatives that we have talked about. Two or more
capsules three times a day, more or less as the person needs. But keep those
bowels moving. This is so important always.
And then we go into another thing that we need, and that is to clean the
bloodstream. Now in the back of this little booklet, The Incurables, we have a
number of formulas, and the first formula is the herbal fomentation, and then we
have the blood purifying combination. So each day, while we‟re taking our juices
and liquids, and during the time you‟re taking your carrot juice during this first
week, you can drink as much distilled water as you want, but always wait until at
least fifteen or twenty minutes after you‟ve had your juice, or fifteen or twenty
minutes before you have more juice, so that you don‟t dilute the juice, and do it
this way. With regular food you‟d generally wait a half hour to an hour, but with
juices they go into the body faster.
Now this blood purifying combination is the one we gave you before, in one of the
other tapes, but it‟s in the back of this little booklet. This is the one that is similar
to the Hoxsey routine and Doctor Sundance‟s routine. None of us knew that the
others had it, but we all had been using the same type.
140
The second week, now, we change it, but on this first week let‟s go into it
completely so that we‟ll know just what we do. We have first the carrot juice, and
the bowel remedy. Then we will have, the next thing will be the blood purifying.
Now that can be taken in tablets or capsules, if you wish to make them up this way.
And so doing, you would use two of those three times a day. It saves drinking so
much tea, and it makes it a lot easier. We now need another bit of help, and that is
for the nerves. Because whenever we have cancer, or multiple sclerosis, or
muscular dystrophy, or anything of this type, it‟s a nervous problem also. And so
we have a formula here that we have mentioned to you before, a nerve combination
of a number of herbs combined. And you take two of these tablets or capsules
three times a day, or a cup morning and night if you make it into a tea.
With every individual that is in the incurable class, they all have a problem with
poor assimilation. With poor assimilation you‟ve got the key of why they‟re sick
in the first place. And so now we go to the aid for the pancreas – and this is also
told about, and we mentioned this – so that we will assimilate the food better. And
if there is a case of high blood sugar or low blood sugar it will equalize this
normalize it, and speed the program along.
Now we also find that in every case that we‟re talking about we have calcium
deficiency, because it‟s calcium deficiency that causes a nerve problem, it‟s
calcium deficiency that causes the muscles to go into cramps, and into the forms of
polio and infantile paralysis. It is the lack of calcium that causes multiple sclerosis
and muscular dystrophy and all of these things. So now we will take the calcium
program that we have talked about, that is mentioned here in the little booklet
again, and we‟ll use two or three of those tablets or capsules three times a day, or a
cup morning or night if it‟s in tea form.
Now we are starting to add point upon point into the body that we need, and here
we have a few more things that we need, and that is number one – we need to teach
them to do some deep breathing, to get the power of life back into them. We also
need to fill them in now with additional outside help. We have what we call a
three oil massage. Now this three oil massage, whether the person is in the
wheelchair, or a bed patient, or up and around – you‟ll find sometimes some of
them are a little harder to massage than others, but with plenty of love get at it.
We use two days of castor oil. We massage the outside of the body, from the
bottom of the feet to the top of the head, circular motion, trying to keep it
clockwise as much as possible, working up always toward the heart from any
direction. The hands and arms work toward the heart. The legs work up toward
141
the heart. The head down toward the heart. Always circular motion. But use as
much castor oil as can be absorbed into that body each day, and we do this for two
days. Now you massage the person once a day, or more often if you‟ve got time,
energy, and want to do it. The more time you spend with them, helping them, the
better, because massage has been used since the beginning of time. Goes clear
back to Egypt. This is one of our oldest therapies. We do not have a one track
mind, that just crunching bones will do the job, or just feeding them herbs will do
the job. This is the holistic program we‟re talking about, doing everything we can
for the human body.
Now that‟s done two days with the castor oil. What the castor oil does is goes
through the skin into the venous system and is carried through the body. A person
who has never used any oils at all in their body, and have a castor oil massage, the
next day as they get up off of the toilet they‟ll find that there‟s little pools of oil
floating on the top. Alright, so the oil has gone through the skin and into the
bowels and out. This is a flush. This is to clean the system. And this is the only
way we use castor oil externally.
Now the next two days we massage with olive oil. Olive oil is one of our greatest
foods known. It comes from one of the herbs that we call a patriarchal herb,
because it‟s old and it has gathered lots of value and time to it, and over the years
this has drawn to it the minerals from the earth. We have known of cases, there‟s
one in medical history that‟s printed in the American Medical Association‟s
journal in either 1944 or 45. I picked it up while I was in the army and read it, and
it told about a little boy three years old who had swallowed lye water accidentally,
and it had eaten out his mouth, his larynx, pharynx, trachea, the whole thing. And
they said nothing but death can happen here, because that was before intravenous
feeding. And some old-timer friend said let me take that boy, and I‟ll take care of
him. And gave him olive oil massages, and gave him a couple of immersings in
the tub to get the water into his body. But massaged him with olive oil from the
bottom of his feet to the top of his head three times a day. This article said the boy
is now eighteen years of age, and has never had any food taken orally into his
body. And for fifteen years, from the time he was three, when he swallowed the
lye water, until now at eighteen years of age, he has a perfect physical specimen of
a body. Has never had a day of sickness, and is in perfect health. Now this is just
from external massaging of olive oil onto the body.
We‟ve had a number of other cases that have come to us that have told us the
same, that we won‟t go into now, but this article is just to tell us that this boy now
could now have food taken orally, because they have now developed some plastic
142
materials that they can make a new throat for him and feed him this way. I thought
“the poor kid. He‟d better off if he would stay with the olive oil massages.”
So we do the olive oil massages two days. This is to feed the body. And the next
two days, the fifth and sixth day, we use wheat germ oil. Wheat germ oil, because
of the vitamin E in it, is medicinal, and it‟s great, and it comes from wheat, and
what it actually is is the blood from the wheat. It is a blood transfusion from the
wheat because it is the wheat itself in liquid form. But, get a good brand. You can
get it from your veterinarian for external use. The Rex brand wheat germ oil. Of
course, if you‟re rich you can use Viobin, some of those that are in the health
stores, but it‟s preferable for us to buy it in a hermetically sealed can, because it‟s
always fresher when you open it.
So use two days castor oil, two days olive oil, two days wheat germ oil. And rest a
day. And that‟s for both the patient and the masseur or masseuse. And then the
next week we‟d go over it again, and we‟d do it week after week after week. Now
immediately after the massage, we put the individual out in the sun and let them
come into contact with the greatest doctor that‟s ever been on the face of this earth,
father sun. And we have to do this gradually, so that the individual not burn,
because a third degree burn can be more damaging, and more painful, and more
harmful, than to just have had no sun. So we start with two minutes front and two
minutes back the first day. And when I say a sun bath, I don‟t mean with fur coat
and galoshes on. I mean stripped down. And if you don‟t have privacy, and
you‟re out in the back yard, take your clothes line and put four sheets or blankets
up, and pin the corners, and put rocks on the bottom, and you have a room there
with the sun coming in with no breeze. And at twenty below zero it will be warm
and nice and terrific in there. This is what they do in Switzerland, even in sub-zero
weather they take their sunbaths. But it‟s got to be where there‟s no breeze
blowing on you. Alright, two minutes front and back, and we add two minutes
front and back each day. And you‟re up to an hour in no time, but I guarantee, I
don‟t care if you‟ve got red hair, or a blond, or the fairest skin in the world – if you
follow this program you won‟t burn. Is that good enough?
Alright, now we‟re going to have to take a break. Have we got time for a question
or two? Alright, let‟s take a question or two now. Yes, uh-huh?
Question: How would you adapt the cold sheet treatment for a baby or a small
child, doctor?
143
Doctor Christopher: Well, instead of going through the whole routine, you would
use an enema as quickly as possible, and put it into a hot tub. Now, if you don‟t
have the herbs or anything, just do like Doctor Foote used to do. Put that baby in
the hot tub and let it sweat, and then wrap it in cold towels, cold, wet towels or
sheets, and put it to bed. And there is a simplified, as doctor Kneipp used to teach.
It‟s the same type of principle, back all those years. But this is not as complete, of
course.
Question: Do you have to be sick to take this cold sheet treatment?
Doctor Christopher: You‟ll get faster results, but you‟ll get some good regardless
of what condition you‟re in. It‟s good for anybody to use, but you will not be able
to build the fever as well. Now what we‟re actually doing in the cold sheet
treatment is building an artificial fever. The person maybe only has a 98.6 or 99.8
or something, maybe under 100, but we‟re building an artificial fever up to 103,
104, 105. And with moist heat, hah!, don‟t get alarmed if it gets up to 107 or 108.
Moist heat is life itself. But, we are using it for incubation. And so this is an
artificial. Now, when a person is good and well, they generally won‟t build that
high a fever, and so it won‟t do quite as much good, but it will help. Alright?
Question: Is there any danger, when you put this paste on the bottom of the feet, of
burning the soles?
Doctor Christopher: Well, this is why we use the petrolatum, the Vaseline, because
it doesn‟t go in like anhydrous lanolin or vitamin E ointment, or something like
this. It stays on the outside. And if it does blister – once in a while it does, but if it
does blister it will be a painless blister. It won‟t be bad at all. It‟ll look bad but it
won‟t feel bad.
Question: You say use a double sheet. How tightly do you pin this sheet then?
Doctor Christopher: Oh, well, a double sheet you open up full wide, and just throw
it loosely around and pin it down the side so that it‟s loose so they can turn and roll
in it. Yes, this is the principle.
As far as this garlic on the bottom of the feet is concerned, I went out in Evanston,
Wyoming. It was 45 below zero and I had to go over forty miles on this house
call. But I was going to give the cold sheet treatment to this little boy. Their
doctor had said he will not live „til morning, and we can‟t get the ambulance here,
and if we try to take him in the car he would die en route to the hospital, and so I‟ll
144
come back and sign the death certificate tomorrow morning. Well, they kept
calling around to find someone, and they told about me being in Evanston. Well,
we went out to give the cold sheet treatment, and the pipes had frozen in the house,
and there was no water. Well, there you are. So I found enough water in the tank
back of the toilet bowl to give him an enema, and cleaned him out and gave him a
massage. But then we made up the garlic paste, and put on the soles of his feet,
and bound them up. And the next morning when the doctor came to sign the death
certificate, this little chap was in his high chair having – he was about eighteen
months old – he was having his grape juice for breakfast.
Well, it was interesting. That boy lived through it, and the reason I know he did
was because he shook my hand after one of the lectures, and he said “you know, I
just love living, and my mother told how that you came out on a cold night.” Well,
that‟s your thanks again.
Question: You talked about the feet stinking and the nose running. Will this garlic
paste cure smelly feet?
Doctor Christopher: Well, your bad odor from the feet is not from the foot itself,
actually. It‟s toxic poison inside the body. And when that toxic poison is cleaned
out of the body your feet will not smell anymore, they will not have a bad odor.
But we have to go into what to do for athlete‟s foot if we get another chance.
A question here.
Question: What do you think of a sauna?
Doctor Christopher: A sauna is wonderful, if it‟s a moist sauna. Yes. The dry
sauna, you must always have limbs in there, fresh leaves, or something to get the
moisture to you. If you‟re going to use a dry sauna, by any chance that you‟re
going to, you must have that jug of water sitting by you, and you drink and drink
and drink, so that you‟re supplying the water at least from the inside. But a good
sauna and a cold plunge is one of the wonderful aids in the holistic program.
Question: Would both of these treatments help someone with lupus?
Doctor Christopher: Yes Mam, definitely so. Now we haven‟t finished the
incurables. We‟ll have to go in more on that on our next tape, because we‟ve got –
that‟s just the first week, ok?
Question: You‟re staying on the carrot juice all this time?
145
Doctor Christopher: Well, that‟s for the first week. Now we‟re taking a little
break now, and then we‟ll be back into the second week. Alright, any other
questions?
Question: An enema. You said you never give enemas. Is that right?
Doctor Christopher: Only in emergencies. We mentioned this before, about in the
Essene‟s Gospel. Jesus talked about using the enema, with a gourd and a reed.
But that was only to those who were sickly. As I said, it wasn‟t to the ninety nine,
it was to the one. And so we use it just for emergency, because it can become a
crutch, and without the enema we can‟t have a BM.
Question: And another question. On the raspberry leaves, can you use them when
they‟re in season, when they‟re green, or do you use them always when they‟re
dry?
Doctor Christopher: This is a very, very good question, because your red raspberry
leaves, like all leaves, it at its highest potency before the blossom comes on. And
when the blossom comes on the strength from the whole vine, bush or tree goes
into the blossom. The major portion of it. Because again, as with humans, the
Lord, with vegetation, is interested in that which is being produced, not that which
is producing. And so the strength goes in, and so the leaves aren‟t quite as potent
while it‟s in blossom, and while your fruit is on. Before blossoming and after the
harvest is when your leaves are best, but you can still use them. We‟ve had people
use them during this time and get results. But they‟re not quite as potent.
And in gathering them to store, if you will gather them before and after, that is
your best. Dry always your herbs in the shade, never in the sun, because the sun
giveth and the sun taketh. And so you‟re losing ground if you put them out in the
sun. But we have found that the vibration of your dried herb that is reconstituted
with distilled water is almost as high as when it was freshly gathered from the herb
itself.
Question: Is the raspberry tea made by steeping?
Doctor Christopher: This is an infusion. Yes, you do not boil. Just pouring the
boiling water over it and covering it, and letting it set.
Question: How about drying leaves in a food dryer?
146
Doctor Christopher: Drying leaves in a food dryer, as long as you‟ve got oxygen
coming in, is very good. Just don‟t overheat. Keep that under 130 again. Don‟t
let it get too hot. This is your key. You can even put it into an oven, but you keep
the door open a little bit, on very low heat.
147
Lecture No. 10 The Incurables Routine Cont. – Comfrey Paste -- Plague
Remedy
We are now going on with the routine of the incurables. You find that with the
massage each day, the six days a week, that you can go into light massage at first,
and then into heavier massage, and finally into deep rolfing if you wish, but you‟ll
have to watch the patient because there are no two patients alike; one can take
more than another. And we also recommend using reflexology, working with the
nerve centers in the feet, and this will help speed the program along very well.
We have now, our next move is at night, when the individual is ready for retiring.
We use the oil and tincture routine. The oil of garlic and the tincture. We put it
into the ears and plug the ears with cotton, massage down the back, at the medulla,
at the base of the skull, and down the person‟s second cervicals to get it penetrating
into the motor nerve. And give the individual six to ten drops, at least three times a
day, of the tincture. Now this is to work on the motor nerve, and as you know,
with muscular sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, with polio, with all of these things,
with cancer, it‟s a nerve malfunction. And so we‟ve got to clean this condition up
by getting into the motor nerve and working on down the spine.
Now the next thing we do is what is called a fomentation. And this particular
fomentation of our herbal formula we call the comfrey formula, also called our
bone, flesh and cartilage. We just called it various names, but this is one of those
unusual formulas the good Lord has given us, but it is so powerful, absolutely
powerful. You soak flannel in it and put it over the head area. Or you can use a
night cap, cotton or wool, and then at the back of the night cap stitch on a piece of
flannel, four or five inches wide, that will go the full length down the spine and
under the tailbone, clear to the end of the tailbone. Now, this headpiece plus the
strip going down the back is soaked in the bone, flesh and cartilage fomentation
which is in the back of the little booklet The Incurables. It tells of how to do this.
And then it‟s sponged out and put over the head and down the spine. We put a
shower cap or something plastic over the head, and a piece of plastic down over
the spine area. Now we‟re only covering just this particular area with the plastic,
because we want the rest of the body to breathe. But then you put on a sweatshirt
or something to hold this in place in the back. You might have to pin through.
Also a pair of panties or shorts or something to hold it in place down on the
bottom.
148
Now, what is happening here, this bone, flesh and cartilage is one of the powerful
foods of all times, and you also will drink a cup of this morning and night, or more,
because this is the healer of healers. This is the one that has been used in many
miraculous conditions of people that were on the incurables.
This, what it is actually doing, is working over the head area, the brain area, and
down the spine, and this is the very routine we use for curvature of the spine, for
using it for areas where the bones have been locked in place and fused. This is the
program that we have used for cancer of the bone. A lady on the west coast called
us long distance, and medical doctors are sending to her people with cancer of the
bone. And she is using the incurables, and they are going back to the doctor after
she‟s through with them and getting a clean bill of health, as cured. And she is
pretty excited about this, because they‟re even sending people in from Mexico and
other places to her, she‟s getting this good. But using the incurables program.
This fomentation is one of the powerhouse parts of it, and it is a must. But it‟s
going right down that spine and under the tailbone. Now the reason we go clear
under the tailbone is because the tailbone controls the upper and lower extremities,
and when that tailbone is kinked up, or pinched or broken, then we have problems
with circulation in the arms and legs. And here we‟re working it right over from
the very basic beginning. Because of the herbs that‟s in this tremendous formula
are in there for rebuilding, cleaning, it will take the inorganic calcium deposits out,
because it has in it the herbs that will dissolve them, the regular solvents. And then
with using the calcium, as we‟re doing, and the teas, we‟re putting new organic
calcium in their place. So we have within this particular formula, the bone, flesh
and cartilage, we have other herbs that will carry off the heavy ingredients to the
bloodstream, and break it up, and your wormwood will cut the pain. It is one of
the most amazing combinations of herbs.
We have seen cases where they have put it on the head for tumors and cysts and
things, in the brain area, and it has gone, this penetrates right through bone and all,
and gets the results. But it goes through the whole system. This is the very
formula, the bone, flesh and cartilage, that we used on the little boy, five years old,
who had the open or soft spot on the top of his head, and in less than six weeks
time it had closed right up. We‟re using this so they didn‟t have to put a stainless
steel plate in the top of his head after all. And these are some of the blessings that
come with it.
149
We have here also another thing that we add, and that is comfrey root or comfrey
leaf tea, or green drink, a cup of more every day, the more the better, really. Now
this especially in bonal malfunctions and bonal troubles.
This program, when it‟s taken in its entirety, it will do so many things that will
astound you. People have absolutely been amazed at what they have seen happen.
And I think you‟ll like it.
So, the second week, we change from carrot juice to apple juice. And we use apple
juice for one week, plus everything else we‟ve done in the first week. The only
thing we change in the second week is from carrot juice to apple juice. The third
week we do the same thing again, but we change to grape juice. And every
mouthful must be chewed of these juices, swished in the mouth and the saliva
mixed with it. This is a must. But now every day you‟ll do everything the same,
using the bowel remedy, and it is always good for those that can, just before taking
some of their juice, to see that they get a tablespoon of olive oil, three times a day.
If you‟ll take the olive oil just before chewing some juice, you‟ll find that it will be
a great help.
This goes through the third week. Now, if the individual is still in the wheelchair
or in the bed, but they are starting to show improvement – which they will – you
can go right on with the first week again, and do the first, second and third week.
Repeat this way. But, this time around we will add a little. We will add one meal
a day if they are able. If they aren‟t, they will do all right on just what we have
done the first three weeks, to repeat. But if they feel like they want something
solid, we‟ll give them a good combination salad. And in the little booklet The
Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet we have a salad dressing in there which is
very medicinal and very delicious. And it is one that‟ll be interesting to use.
We‟ve got now, besides the salad, we will have a small bowl of pre-soaked, whole,
uncracked, low heated grain, preferably wheat. And, if you wish, you can take
wheat and barley, or wheat, buckwheat and barley, or you can add millet. You can
make different combinations, but we do want wheat as a basis. Brother Don has
brought us some wheat that has been sprouted here. If you wish to see it, when
you come up you can see the little sprouts growing out on it. This is live,
wholesome food. This is what is needed to start rebuilding now. This will give
good solids. It might be interesting for you to know that the Chinese are using
barley as an anti-cancer herb, and they consider it‟s one of the greatest herbs
known. In our own scriptures, the 89th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, in
the church that I belong to, it says that barley is good for mild drinks. Alright, a
150
mild drink is not a strong drink. A strong drink is a habit forming drink. That is
liquor, or a barley beer, or something of this. But it is as a mild drink that is not
habit forming. A mild drink and a mild food; these are the things that are so
important.
We now will go on into the weeks after this. We just modulate now into the
mucusless diet. And you have fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, after
you‟ve gone through the three weeks with just the salads. Or, so that you‟ll
understand, if you wish, and your patient wishes, the first three weeks we‟ve given
you, with just the juices alone, the carrot, the apple, the grape, that can be repeated
over and over and over for nine months, a year or on. And you‟ll get faster
healing. But it is not quite as satisfying for some. And you‟ll get wonderful health
if you‟ll just follow through.
The individual, when they get brown as an Indian, you‟ll know that they‟ve got
plenty of vitamin D in their body now. We want to take just a minute now and
review you on the comfrey paste. The comfrey paste is one of our powerful herbal
aids. This is taking equal parts of wheat germ oil and honey – now that‟ll be liquid
honey, of course – and mixing them together. And adding finely chopped or
powdered comfrey root or comfrey leaf and mixing it into the oil and honey until it
has become a paste, a thick paste. Now it‟s ready for use. You spread it on any
type of an open, bleeding wound, or on an ulcer. You put it on third degree burns,
first or second degree burns. It will do miracles. It is one of the greats. We have
seen so many astounding things happen with this.
We like to cite the case of our little grand nephew. We were lecturing to a
chiropractic group down in the San Jose area several years back, and my nephew,
John Robert Cummings, said on the phone “Uncle Ray, instead of going to a motel
tonight before you fly back, how‟d you like to stay at our house? We‟re just the
next town up and I‟ll come and pick you up.” And I said, “Well, that‟s wonderful!”
Well, that same day, as time will have it happening again, his wife rolled her
convertible, and their little five year old boy, as the car went along the asphalt,
hung on, and one arm drug. And it took off the three fingers, the little finger and
the next to it the two fingers, right down to the first joint and took one joint with it.
And took the side of his hand off, and his arm, right down to the bone. Well, they
took for temporary bandaging to the hospital, and said he will have a deformed arm
all his life, but as soon as we can we‟ll graft new skin over here so he‟ll have three
stubs, because nothing could be done about this because it had been just ground
right off and worn away.
151
So this was the day that I happened to show up, and John Robert said “Uncle Ray,
what can we do for him?” And I asked him if he had wheat germ oil, honey and
comfrey, and he had all three of them. So we made up the paste, put it over the
hand, the fingers, up the hand, and up the arm. And I told him not to dig it off or
anything, just keep adding as it was absorbed. Just keep adding more and more on
it and bandage it lightly.
Well, that little tyke came to see us months later. They‟d come in to the Salt Lake
City area and dropped down to Orem where we were living, and little Bobby came
running in. He said, “Look, Uncle Ray! Look!” and he held his hand up. The
good Lord had left plans and specifications, and the bone grew back in, the
knuckle grew on that was taken off, the flesh grew, the skin around it, and the
nails, which had been completely gone, grew back on, and you couldn‟t tell he had
ever been in an accident. The flesh grew back on his hand, the sinew came back
in, the cartilage, and up his arm. They have the hospital reports on this, and they
have verified that any time they want they‟ll be glad to tell this story.
Well, this is the comfrey paste, and comfrey is so great. That is why in the bone,
flesh and cartilage routine we have a lot of comfrey in that, and it is a cell
proliferant, it makes the cells grow rapidly, and it also will be loaded with the
allantoin, which is the healer of healers. But to show you how that these parts can
be brought back, Don, you had a story you told me. Would you like to tell that?
About on that bone, flesh and cartilage deal, how it grew back?
Don: Yes, Doctor Christopher, I‟ll share that with you now. One summer, let me
see, two years ago, I was using a two and a half inch cutter, razor sharp cutter, and
it was about this long. The top of the cutter screwed off. As I screwed the top of
this cutter off to change it I had it in a powerful half inch drill motor. I had the
drill motor down, holding it in my knees, and inadvertently I slipped over and
touched the trigger, and it turned about one and a half turns in my hand before it
dropped out. Sliced the finger, the middle finger, down to the bone at the joint, cut
part of the joint and tendon, chopped it in here so deep that you could see right
down, way down into about half the finger, cut a big gouge into here and a big
gouge under the thumb, just tore it wide open. Now as I was hoping, because at
that time being the president of an organization called Western Herbal Health
Association, that I‟d be able to show the people some scars for the next meeting.
But what happened, what I did when this occurred, was I ran into the house, picked
up some comfrey that was growing in the yard on my way up, mashed it up in my
hand, and threw about two or three ounces of cayenne pepper right into the wound.
152
Did a small Indian dance shortly. But for just about ten seconds – it wasn‟t bad,
you‟d be surprised – but then I started feeling so good, and so warm, and felt great!
Then I put some of this combination Doctor Christopher is talking about, this
particular combination of herbs, this bone, and flesh and cartilage comfrey
combination, and wadded that all up in with this cayenne.
But before I did this, there were five people there at the time there were five people
in the room. And I said, “Now, cayenne is supposed to work.” And I held my
hand up like this for stopping blood. And I was gushing blood like you wouldn‟t
believe. It just left a trail all through the house where I came in. And I held my
hand up and I counted it, I counted it one, two, three – by the time the fifth count,
that gushing blood was hanging in strands where it was coagulating. And the
coagulation had stopped it, as though you‟d turned the valve off externally. I was
convinced that cayenne is marvelous at that point. I had no idea, no doubts in my
mind, nor did anyone else in the room. But I left this wadded up in my hand,
wrapped a rag around it and went back to work. Continued working, continued
working for the next two weeks. Even broke it open by working on some of the –
by holding heavy things, like holding windows and it would break open and come
back again. And it continued to heal in spite of it. I had no stitches taken. I was
told I was crazy for not having stitches taken. But I knew that the body heals from
the inside out.
Fourteen days from the time it happened, the time of the next herbal meeting, I
held my hand up to show. And they said, “What? What scars?” And now they
could see the same awful scarrs you see now. Do you see any awful scars?
Comments: None, none.
Don: I was convinced.
Doctor Christopher: You mentioned about your daughter and her polio.
Don: My daughter, Anna Bjornson, who‟s on a route right now to being perhaps
one of the world‟s greatest performers and singers, is now at BYU, who has
overcome a lot of things in her lifetime. At the age of one, just prior to her
walking, she contracted polio and had the flail leg as a result of it. We worked
with her continuously, and using the comfrey combination there was an unusual
change came in her body – so unusual that the doctors who examined her did not
believe her when she showed them that her flail foot, which is not supposed to
grow any, has now become the same size, so she wears the same sized shoes in
153
both feet. Now that had come up some four sizes from when she started this
program. Her back, her spinal column, which had a noticeable bad curve in it, had
changed during the process of the incurables, which we put her on one summer,
and did all of the processing with it. She has grown, even her fingers have grown
in length by using the comfrey. Something about the comfrey. The doctor says the
allantoin, perhaps the cell proliferation, plus the rest of the program, has made her
change after age twenty three. Changes in her body have occurred. Her legs are
the same length. She‟s getting more strength in them all the time. Something
that‟s happened during that time, and of course this is not normally possible.
Doctor Christopher: Yes, that‟s the incurable. Thank you. I appreciate that very
much.
Don: You‟re welcome.
Dr. Christopher: We have now one more thing I‟d like to bring up before we finish
this tape, and that is people have asked over the years, what about these bad times
that we‟re coming into. We have said there are going to be plagues, there‟s going
to be hardships, there‟s going to be lots of trouble. But these plagues will be
killers. It will be history repeating itself. At the time of Joseph, in Egypt, someone
died in every one of the families. But we have a promise that if we will follow the
right laws of health, that the destroying angel – which is the angel of disease – the
destroying angel will pass by you as the children of Israel, and not slay you.
Alright, so here is what we‟re trying to impress upon people is to get your body in
a perfect condition so that destroying angel will pass you by.
Supposing now that you‟re in one of these plague areas, where the people are
dying like flies and will fulfill the prophecies of the seers and the prophets that
have said that there will be black crepe hanging on nearly every door, which means
death in every household. This will make the flu epidemic of 1918 very junior
grade, because there were over twenty million people in the world died from the
flu at that time – over two million people in the United States alone. But that will
be minor to what will happen when these other plagues come. It is estimated that
after the cleansing of our Saturday night, and we‟re on the last of the eleventh hour
now, that there will only be approximately one out of ten people left. And I hope
and pray that you folks in this audience will be those ten that are out there helping
other people – that ten percent.
So I was talking about it and down in Snowflake, Arizona, a lady raised her hand
and said, “Well, have you got a remedy for the plague?” and I was about to say
154
“Nobody‟s ever asked me that before.” And then somebody else said, “Yes, how
about it? How about a plague remedy?” And here I am, an herbalist, a renowned
herbalist, but I‟m not that sharp. I just can‟t right out of the clear sky pull
something like this. No time for meditation, no time to sit at my desk and figure
things out. And so I needed additional help and so I said “Father, please.” – a right
quick prayer – “Please.” And this formula flooded down to me, and I gave it and
they wrote it as fast as I gave it to them, the full information. And someone said,
“Well, how soon should we make this up? When will the plagues come?”
And I said, “Only the angels of heaven know. I don‟t. I tell you, I‟d rather see you
with gallons of this in your basement sixty years from today never having been
used, than to know that next week you could have had it and saved your lives. I
can‟t tell you that. You‟ll have to do what you want to do.”
So I‟d given it to them, and forgot all about it. And months later I was in Tucson,
Arizona, and someone raised their hand and said, “Would you give us that plague
remedy?”
And I said, “How‟d you ever hear of that? I‟ve only given it once, up in
Snowflake!”
And they said, “Well, they had a plague hit there.”
It was brought through from Chicago. Someone had flown in and come over to
Snowflake, and the children were being taken to the hospital in large numbers and
they didn‟t have anything that would stop it. They were confounded. And one of
the nurses said, “Well, we‟ve got some plague remedy we made up. Could we try
that?”
And the doctor said, “Anything! Anything that you got!” And so she brought the
plague formula over, and they never lost a child. They never lost a person that had
come down with this. Well, they just use it for everything imaginable, besides the
plague. They use it for measles and mumps, they use it for sore throats, they use it
for menstrual cramps. And I mean it was the greatest thing in the world. One
fellow told me, he said, “you know, we had imported a couple of very rare dogs
from Europe, a male and a female. And they mated and we had four pups, and
they were extremely valuable. When we had left for the day, and we had them in a
pen, well those little pups had dug out. Someone was in the neighborhood
poisoning dogs and the four pups got the poison, and when we got home they were
all lying there with their eyes rolling and going stiff. And he said, “We grabbed
155
one of them and we had some plague remedy right close by, poured it down that
little dog‟s throat. It shook it‟s head and its eyes came back into focus and it
wagged its tail, and we put it down and rushed for another one, and the other three
were dead. But we saved the one.”
Well, I tell you, we can talk about this plague remedy. They picked me up down in
Ontario, California, at the airport. Jerry Thomas picked me up, and there was a
bottle on the floor, by the front seat, and I said “I better put this up. It‟ll probably
break.”
“Oh, it‟s a heavy bottle,” he said. “It couldn‟t hurt it anyhow, because it‟s your
plague remedy.”
And I said, “Well, what you got it in the car here for?”
And he said, “We have it in each of our cars and in our home and in our summer
home, because any time the children get sick. A earache. They get the earache,
we turn them over and pour it down their ear.” Yes! And he said, “They get
results. They get the sore throat, we give it to them. The wife gets sickness when
we drive, and I give her this and she takes a swig of it, and she‟s sitting up perky
again. We‟re not without it.”
Ha! Well, I‟m going to give you this formula right quickly, and then we‟ll have
time for some questions before we finish off. Well, this is the way that the good
Lord gave it to me, and this is another of the herbal formulas that I can sure brag
up, because it‟s the Lord‟s. He gave it to me, and I don‟t take any credit on it. I
just say this is being used from coast to coast, through Canada and down to the
Mexican border. As far as I know there isn‟t a state but what have used this since
it was been given to me. And people have been saved by the hundreds with it, and
I‟m just tickled to death to be a servant, I‟ll tell you.
Well, we take – I‟ll read it through right quickly, and then you can work it out. We
take eight parts of apple cider vinegar, five parts of vegetable glycerin, five parts of
honey, two parts of garlic juice, fresh, two parts of comfrey root concentrate – and
all the rest are concentrates – one part of wormwood concentrate, one part of
lobelia leaf or seed, one part marshmallow root, one part oak bark, one part black
walnut bark, one part skullcap leaf and one part uva ursi, or hydrangea, or gravel
root.
156
Now, to make the concentrates, each concentrate should be made individually.
You start by soaking the herb for four hours or more in enough distilled water to
cover it completely. After soaking, add more distilled water to it, so that the total
added equals sixteen ounces of water for four ounces of herb. Alright, now this
would be a one part that we‟re talking about now. Sixteen ounces of water is a
pint, five tenths of a liter, and in that we use four ounces of the herb – like it would
be the oak bark or the marshmallow root or the hydrangea or whatever it is. Now,
we take this, after adding the proper amount of distilled water to be soaked, we
simmer the herb at under 130 degrees, very low heat, in a covered pan for thirty
minutes. Now we strain the liquid into a clean pan, put the liquid into a double
boiler on very low heat, uncovered, and simmer or steam it down to one fourth the
original volume. Now we started out with sixteen ounces, remember. We bring it
down to four ounces. In other words, from a pint down to a half a cup. And this is
a seven power concentrate. This is a very highly concentrated herbal formula.
Only after all the ingredients have been prepared should the liquids be mixed.
Now don‟t use aluminum, Teflon or cracked porcelain. Use glass, Corning ware,
stainless steel or whole porcelain. We take now each of these herbs. Like, for
instance, one part of wormwood concentrate. We take a pint of distilled water and
put into it four ounces of the wormwood herb and let it soak for so many hours.
Now we put it on low heat for thirty minutes, let it sit for a few minutes and then
strain it off. Now we simmer it down until it‟s only one fourth of a pint.
Now when we‟ve got these all made individually we add those to the apple cider
vinegar and the glycerin and the honey and the garlic juice. Now to make the
garlic juice, to make an eight ounce glass it takes approximately one pound of good
fresh garlic. Put it through a juicer – a centrifugal juicer is the best type – or a
regular tricherator and a press, like a Norwalk. Now, when you do this you‟ve got
fresh juice, and that fresh juice is extremely important. But you add that and then
all other concentrates and mix it together in a big container. Then put it into
bottles. And it‟ll keep at a cool temperature, just like in the basement or someplace
where it‟s not hot. Don‟t have it in the sun. And it will keep… we‟ve had it for
months. How long have you kept it. Have you made it up.
Question: We have had it for at least nine months.
Doctor Christopher: Nine months, and it‟s still good. But, when the emergency
comes, then we‟ll use a teaspoon three times a day. A teaspoon to a tablespoon,
depending on age and size, three times a day to prevent. And if the plague has hit
you, off of all foods, use nothing but distilled water, and use a tablespoon of this
157
every hour, and watch it clear. This is absolutely the most amazing thing that you
could ask for. It is great.
Now, the next thing is, we‟ve got just a little time left for questions. And this will
be the last time I‟ll be with you for a while, so let‟s clear up any problems that are
bothering us now.
Question: What would be a good program for mononucleosis? Anything additional
to what you told us?
Doctor Christopher: Well, mononucleosis will generally clear with lobelia alone,
using tincture of lobelia, three to six drops in a little water every half hour is a
preventative, double the dosage when you‟re into it. But if it is a severe condition,
then go as close to the incurables as you can, and follow through with it.
Question: I don‟t really understand what plague really is.
Doctor Christopher: A plague is any high-fever disease that comes in to a
neighborhood or an area, where the people are hit with it they die quickly. It is,
like the black plague, back in the dark ages. Just to even breathe the air, a person
who wasn‟t in good condition. But you know the amazing thing was that the
French doctors there used lots of garlic, and they got by pretty good, where the
English didn‟t want such things and those doctors died. The four thieves went
rampant at this time. They robbed people and even took the gold teeth out of
people who were dead. And these four survived right through all of this, and when
they were arrested, the king said “either tell us how you survived, or we‟ll hang
you.” Well, they told how they survived; they took the garlic juice and mixed it
with vinegar, or wine, half and half, and drank this. So you‟ll notice, in this
formula, this is the basis.
Question: If someone‟s has shown allergy, say, to wheat, garlic, and onion. These
are all things you say you use, would you go ahead and try these anyway?
Doctor Christopher: Surely, but use them the right way. Now the wheat that
people generally use is wheat that‟s been killed dead, it‟s not any good anyway. If
you‟ll take and pre-soak and low heat, as we instruct in The Three Day Cleanse
and Mucusless Diet how to do it, and get it so that it swells up and is whole, so if
you take it out and plant it, and it will grow, this will not cause an allergy if they
will chew it and mix the saliva with it. As far as the garlic is concerned,
sometimes we had to go a little easy on that right off, but they can build into it.
158
But if they follow the three day cleanse and the mucusless diet, you‟ll find that the
allergies, as I guarantee you, within a year will go, and then they can go back to the
garlic. You know, anybody that uses lots of garlic never catches cold, flu or
pneumonia. Nobody gets close enough to them to give it to them. I‟m just kidding
there, but it does make them healthier. Yes.
Question: For a bad thyroid, what would help on that? That could be causing
heart trouble.
Doctor Christopher: Well, a good clinical case here on a thyroid, which is a gland.
And so we have a combination of three parts of mullein and one part lobelia, for a
glandular condition. This is taken internally, and it is also put around the throat, as
a fomentation. Put on each night and left on all night. We have seen goiters with a
bad thyroid condition that had protruded out to the chin, that have been brought
down to size. This is a miraculous thing. But use plenty of kelp and dulse and
things of this type along with it. Stay on the mucusless diet, and the closer you can
stay to the incurables routine, the better off and the faster you‟ll get results. But
that can absolutely be cleared.
There‟s a question back here?
Question: How much powdered kelp do you recommend a day?
Doctor Christopher: You can use an awful lot of powdered kelp, because it is, it‟s
just a food. And being organic, you will take what you need of it and discard the
rest of it. But the recommended dosages are six or seven seven-grain tablets.
Alright, you can triple that. No problem.
Question: If taking the powdered form?
Doctor Christopher: In the powdered form it‟s a number of tablespoons. You just
enjoy it.
Question: Will you talk about backache?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, the backache, that‟s a wide open question, because it can
come from talking to someone you don‟t like, it gives you a backache. I mean,
well now we have, uh… [laughter] It could be from an old injury, it could be from
a tipped uterus, it could be from a prolapsed transverse colon, a prostate that is
causing trouble, kidneys, so many things. And so when we have a problem with
159
backaches, the best thing to do is use the formula we have given you for the bone,
flesh and cartilage, the comfrey fomentation, and start with the lumbar region, up
about the middle of the back. And put the fomentation down over the back and
down over the tailbone, using a girdle or something big to hold it in place at night.
And you will find that this is one of the greatest aids to clear backaches that you
could ever imagine, because it will rebuild. We have had people who have had
tailbones that have been calcified and kinked up that have straightened out, people
who have had, in the lumbar region, fused joints, and the cushion gone, and the
cushion has come back in and the fusing has dissolved and dispersed itself,
The good Lord leaves us plans and specifications always, if we‟ll give it a half a
chance. We wonder why it is that the animals and the birds can grow back wings
and legs, and we can‟t do that, and we‟re supposed to be superior over all
animation on the face of this earth. But we can do it, just like the lady that we
mentioned right here in this very city, in Provo, Utah, that had lost one and a half
vertebrae. And the physician that has x-rays to show that the vertebra and a half
were completely gone, and the spine above and below it were perforated with
cancer of the bone. It was so perforated that they could not fuse, they could not put
a brace on, they could not do anything but just let her lie there to die. They asked
if our program would work, and I said, “If you‟ll follow it implicitly, and her time
hasn‟t come, yes! If she will go on it forty eight hours, at least we‟ll take the
pain.” The excruciating cancer pain is within itself a horrible thing.
And so they used – at this time was before we had the bone, flesh and cartilage and
we used comfrey poultices and comfrey fomentations up and down that spine.
And we gave her comfrey tea and comfrey green drink, glass after glass after glass.
We gave her comfrey in her salad, comfrey as a green vegetable, comfrey tablets
and capsules. We did practically everything but put it in her ears. She had plenty
of it. And you know what happened within six months time? The good Lord
having left plans and specifications, cartilage came in right in the very shape of the
vertebrae and a half that had been destroyed. Because the pattern was still there.
And the cartilage was stiff enough and strong enough that now she could get out of
bed and go around do her housework and take care of her children.
Within the year the cartilage turned to bone, and she had, by x-ray, one of the most
perfect spines that the doctor had seen, like the spine of a teenager. And I ran into
the lady that brought me in on this case not too long ago. She manages one of the
stores here in town. And she said, “You know that lady that had the back trouble?
You know, her x-rays show that her back is still as perfect as any teenager‟s. But
she‟s just gone hog-wild on her eating and her body‟s falling to pieces. But she‟s
160
got a good spine.” So, well at least we went that far, and the spine is still in good
condition. Folks, it‟s great.
Question: Is there any suggestions for someone who has been an alcoholic, or is
now an alcoholic or drug addict.
Doctor Christopher: Yes, there is. By using the incurables we have had a number
of people – we had a registered nurse in Evanston, Wyoming, that had gone from
cigarette smoking to alcohol, from alcohol to dope. And when she came to us she
was in tears. She wanted to get off of it. Well, we put her on the mucusless diet,
put her on the incurables routine, and she went through that and she lost the desire.
Now, what causes the craving to smoke, to use liquor and to use dope, is a hidden
hunger because of malnutrition. There are minerals missing in the body because
we‟ve eaten so much junk food and have gotten away from wholesome foods, that
we now have a deficiency. And that craving is always gnawing and craving at us.
So by going on this program they can be helped. If they want to speed it up, the
can go down to the Pah Tempe hot mineral springs, which I verify is organic, and I
felt it as I walked over the soil there over twenty years ago. And immerse in the
water up to the neck. Using this program and stay in here for as many hours as you
can. Work up gradually. And we have seen cases where you can even smell the
alcohol fumes leaving the person‟s body. And the minerals plus the program
internally renews the minerals that are missing, and they lose the craving and the
desire. Yes, they can be helped.
Question: Another question on the minerals, some people recommend the mineral
water?
Doctor Christopher: The mineral water is excellent from some areas. Now, when
you go up to the one up in Wyoming – Thermopolis? Is that it? Yes. Now, if
you‟ll watch those springs, as they come up they make big mounds. But
everything around those mounds is sterile. Nothing can grow. No vegetation.
And wherever that water goes vegetation doesn‟t grow. This is a mineral water
highly mineralized, but it is a dead water. It is inorganic. Now you go down to the
Pah Tempe hot mineral springs – I‟ll have to get a commission off of those springs
[laughter] – when you go down there, you look at the orifice where the water
comes out of the mountain, and moss and lichens and fungus grows right around
the orifice, and you can watch those little brooklets as they go by and there‟s
vegetation all the way down. It‟s good. It‟s alive. It‟s organic. And there are
some that are this way. Others I wouldn‟t drink on a bet. I wouldn‟t take a chance
on it. But you‟re going to get all the minerals you need anyhow, from your fruits,
161
vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. And if you wish to soak in that water, the
greatest, absolutely greatest straining piece of equipment that there ever was, the
greatest filter known, is the skin of the human body. And it will let the organics
through and keep the inorganics out. It‟s got a computerized setup that will only
let the boys in the white hats in. The boys in the black hats stay outside. I hate to
get facetious, but I think you‟ll remember what I‟m saying maybe.
Question: This formula you were telling about for the back, with the comfrey,
would that also help cancer. I mean, the arthritis. . . Also, I want to know about
senility.
Doctor Christopher: Yes, let‟s go into first the arthritic condition. We have people
who have gnarled hands and parts of their body that have been calcified. This has
helped them in case after case. That bone, flesh and cartilage is an example. We
have one case where a woman was going to have to have a new hip joint and a cap
for it, because it had deteriorated and gone. Well, she was getting up in years and
didn‟t want this, but they used the bone, flesh and cartilage, and gave her plenty of
it to drink, and put her on our regular incurables program, and she grew back a hip
joint and a cap. And this has happened time after time. These are the things that
can happen if you just give them a chance. Don‟t believe the things that I have
told you, because after thirty five, forty years, I run across a lot of things. Don‟t
take my word for it. Go out and use it, and help people, and you‟ll have your own
testimonies, because it‟s there to use. The people who doubt us most, and the
people who fight us most, are those from another school, who have never studied
what we have studied. And they can‟t comprehend that the good Lord has given us
these wonderful herbs.
Now, as far as becoming senile, this is something that nobody likes, and we‟d like
to get rid of it. Have we talked about that subject at all? I thought we did on one of
our earlier tapes. And so get one of those earlier tapes and they‟ll tell you all about
it. Any other questions? Yes.
Question: When a person feels like there‟s something lodged in their throat…
Doctor Christopher: A clinical case of a person of this way, uh huh.
Question: Yes. What can you do about it?
Doctor Christopher: Well, it depends on what‟s lodged in that throat.
162
Response: There‟s nothing lodged.
Doctor Christopher: Alright, here‟s where you would use the fomentation again,
because it has a solvent that would dissolve any tumor or cystic types. Oft times
we do not take enough potassium into our body, and because of not having enough
potassium, fibrous growths grow in. And these fibrous growths form tumors and
cysts, and little lumps that are annoying to us. If you are wise and you see these
things coming in, make up some potassium broth. This is an excellent thing to use.
Take the peelings of potatoes. Peel the potatoes very thick, a half, three quarters of
an inch thick. And we‟re now in conservation again. We used to peel the potatoes
and throw the peelings away, and eat the middle. Now we‟re peeling the potatoes,
saving the peelings and throwing the middle away. But what we‟re doing, because
all the value is in the skin itself. We put – after it‟s been washed and everything –
we put this into a container, and we put in a few carrot tops, and some beet tops,
some celery and some celery tops, we put in some dandelion, the roots and all, and
a few other types of greens. We can use some spinach and various things. We put
distilled water over this. We also put in a small handful of black peppercorns,
which is a very excellent stimulant and very tasty, and it‟s good for you. Don‟t let
anybody tell you it isn‟t. The powdered black pepper on the market isn‟t too good,
because it generally has formaldehyde in it. But fresh ground peppercorns are
excellent herbs.
Now, I like to put some onion, fresh onion, and some garlic in. Gives a little
zoomph and a little extra flavor there. Now we low heat this, keep it under 130,
and you can low heat it for as long as you wish, and then you pour off the liquid.
This can be used in between meals to drink, it can be used as a cocktail at the
beginning of a meal, or you can put a little slippery elm powder in it and make it
thick for a soup, or marshmallow root powder, something of this type. You can,
oh, it has no end. You can use it as a base for a vegetable soup, and low heat it,
and you‟ve got here a potassium broth that will keep tumors and cysts away if you
use enough and it over a long period of time.
Question: There‟s case after case of people who get these red spots, small red spots
on the skin. Would that be where the blood vessel has broken, or…
Doctor Christopher: This is a malnutrition, yes. We‟ve got to get the bloodstream
back into shape again.
Question: You work with the blood purifiers?
163
Doctor Christopher: Blood purifier and clean the body up and feed right.
Question: How do you know you‟ve got something at 130 degrees and you don‟t
go over that?
Doctor Christopher: Well, you go buy – and this is a nasty word – go buy a candy
thermometer. [laughter] I was just testing out this morning – for instance, we‟ve
had problems with crockpots, because the low heat is a hundred and ninety, and the
top heat is way over. And so I have a gentleman here in town, we‟ve been working
back and forth and getting different types of equipment to control. And I started
him off with a big old dimmer switch, but it didn‟t work too good, and so just this
morning I was using the candy thermometer – real early in the morning – on our
crockpot, to test out a little thing that he had given me. And I plugged it in, and on
the high beam of the crockpot I heated it up and it came to a hundred and thirty,
and controlled it perfectly. Well, I‟m pretty excited. We‟re going to do some
more experimental work, but keep in touch with us, and maybe we can have one
of…
Question: Does altitude make any difference with that?
Doctor Christopher: Yes it does. You‟ve got to use a thermometer. That‟s the
reason you can‟t always tell, because it boils at different temperatures in different
areas.
Question: I‟ve been doing some testing, and I find that I cannot very, very low
simmer at 130. It goes higher than that.
Doctor Christopher: I know it does. That‟s why it can‟t even ripple. That‟s right.
So try and keep it under 130, and then you‟ll have wholesome food, food that will
grow, that has life.
Question: There‟s a cooker that is put out by a man years and years ago, by the
name of Hohensee.
Doctor Christopher: Oh, I knew Hohensee. I studied under him, in fact.
Question: Is that a good cooker?
Doctor Christopher: Yes, it‟s one of the better cookers of its type.
164
Question: But that would go over 130, wouldn‟t it?
Doctor Christopher: I don‟t know whether that would. I‟ve never tested it out. But
I‟ve eaten food from it, and it tastes good.
Question: You can plant the wheat, and it will grow.
Doctor Christopher: Well, then, it‟s all right.
Second Question: Where do you get them?
Doctor Christopher: I don‟t think they make them anymore.
Question: I don‟t believe so. I inherited one.
Third Question: A lot of people have laid them aside. If you put an ad in the
shopper‟s guide I think you can pick „em up.
Doctor Christopher: Pick up a couple for me, please. [laughter]
[Audience members discussing the spelling of Hohensee‟s name.]
Doctor Christopher: He was one of the most outspoken practitioners I have ever
known, caustic and nasty, but he had an awful death. They threw him in jail and…
Oh, it was awful. I try to be not that outspoken. Any other questions. Well, folks,
this has been to me great. Here‟s one more.
Question: What can you do for a child who is very moody and won‟t drink any of
these teas, or swallow any capsules?
Doctor Christopher: Well now, depends on the age of that child. Sometimes when
you offer them a tea to drink, they go into what we think is a convulsion, and it‟s
hard to tell whether it‟s a convulsion or a tantrum. And so you say when they‟re
about eight or ten years old “now are you going to drink this tea?” and they go into
this convulsion. And you want to test it out and you say “ok, I‟m not sure about
you, so we‟ll have to give it to you as an enema.” And they‟ll snap right out of it.
Then it‟s a tantrum. If they‟re really sick, it‟s a convulsion, and so you can insert it
through the rectum. [laughter]
165
But, you‟ll find that moody children, if they‟re kept away from junk foods, will
change character completely. We‟ve taught this for years, but I have been so
thrilled in some of the National Health Federation conventions that I‟ve spoken to,
and the National Cancer Victims and Friends, and I speak nationwide for these.
There are medical doctors who speak sometimes before me or after me, that talk on
this very thing, about children that are of the uncontrollable type or the moody
type, and they have taken and done testing, in their doctor‟s offices and in their
clinics, and they have found that when they have put them on wholesome food, and
got them away from the junk foods, that they have changed character. And we
have seen this in our own practice over the years.
Question: If there‟s a baby, if the baby‟s got congestion in the chest, and has a
hard time, and it vomits up a lot, and has a hard time keeping food down, and can‟t
be moved around a lot, and isn‟t getting along too well.
Doctor Christopher: That‟s an interesting case history you‟ve read about, I guess,
huh? Now, you want to know what to do about a thing like this.
Response: Yes.
Dr. Christopher: Yes, this is where you would use the incurables again. The
younger the child, the easier they are to work with, actually. And with good
reasoning, you can get them into going into the juices. For instance, while they‟re
on carrot juice sometimes they seem like they‟re a little on the hungry side. If they
are, give them a carrot to chew on. If they‟re on apple juice, give them an apple to
chomp on. If they‟re on grape juice, let „em have a few grapes to eat. But follow
on through with the incurables and you can do miracles with it.
Alright, this series of lectures on these tapes, I appreciate the audience and the
questions that have come. They have been very good and I am for you all the way.
Thank you very much.
