Thank you so much!!!! These lessons are amazing!! I really enjoyed this one because Herbal Remidies are a favorite hobbie of mine. I wanted to tell you to do some research on ” Cats Claw” This is also a very helpful herb when it comes to illness. I use it when I feel like I might be catching a cold or the flu and it hasent let me down yet!! Its not an herb that children however!!! It is also used to help CA patients during therapy to help their immune system. Please give it a look:} My family hasent been to the DR in years. My 6 yr old has never used an antibiotic (and hope she never has too) My 10 yr old hasnt since he was 4. I give my entire family Elderberry. ( I buy the concentrate from the health food staore and make it as juice as well. My kids love it and its better then any other juice I coud give them. I also give my kids a childrens blend of Echineaca and Astragulus. Cherry Bark is a great help if they feel like they are getting a sore throat as well. I read a study that Coloidal SILVER actually healed horses that had contracted the Westnile virus. Another good one is to simmer a garlic clove in pure olive oil until the oil is well infused. let it cool and put in an old childrens tylenol bottle with a dropper (or buy a bottle with a dropper) store this in the fridge and if your child gets and ear infection warm under hot water and place a few drops in the ear place a cottonball in the ear do this a few times a day. It works everytime!!! And there is this one…… My Gram would take an Aloe Plant and break off a piece and with a q-tip rub the gel into the back of our throats. It tastes awfull but it really did work. :} lol!!

GOD BLESS YOU !!!

Best wishes from ALASKA!!

Take 1000 mg of Vitamin C twice daily (for 2 days)
Take 100 mg of Zinc with food (for 2 days)
Take 2000 IU of Vitamin D (for 2 days)
Drink 1 cup of green tea (for 2 days)
Go to sauna for 40 minutes (for 2 days)
First night, sleep 9 hours
Drink 100 oz water (for 2 days)

By the end of the second day, you will feel MUCH better and be able to function normally again by the end of the second day. I have been forced to do this personally multiple times and it worked every time. I just so happened to come up with the list above on my own by luck

For the flu, I make Dr. Schulze’s Super Tonic thus:
1 part fresh chopped garlic cloves
1 part fresh chopped white onions
1 part fresh grated ginger root
1 part fresh grated horseradish root
1 part fresh chopped cayenne peppers, hottest available.
Fill a glass jar (I used a gallon jar) 3/4 full with equal parts of all the above. Fill to the top with raw unfiltered unbleached, non-distilled apple cider vinegar.
Close and shake vigourously, top off with vinegar if necessary. Begin this concotion on the NEW moon and strain on the FULL moon, 14 days. Shake it every time you walk by it. Filter through a clean piece of cotton, bottle and label.
Dosage: 1/2 to 1 oz, two or more times daily, gargle and swallow. His patients swear it not only cures the common cold but every other disease of mankind!

If you don’t want to make your own, visit http://herbdoc.com. I have had this tonic around for years, shared with many people, and it works wonders when someone gets sick.

Thanks.

However, Garden of Life has a new probiotic supplement out called Raw Probiotics, and I like that in many ways even above Primal Defense. Primal Defense has 12 different probiotic strains and 15 billion live cells per dose. Raw Probiotics has between 31 and 33 different strains (depending on which version you get – mens, womens, men over 50, etc – it’s tailored to each sex and age group) and each dose has 85 billion live cells guaranteed alive at the time of purchase (most other companies merely state the number alive at the time of manufacture, and may contain no live cells by the time you take it, making it worthless). The Raw Probiotics also contains raw whole food vitamins. Overall, it’s the best probiotic on the market.

On the subject of zinc, most people are deficient. The best way to determine this is to buy a bottle of Zinc Status by Ethical Nutrients. It’s a liquid, and you basically take 2 tsp and swish it around in your mouth. If you immediately taste a metallic taste (similar to having a coin in your mouth), then your zinc stores are fine. If, however, you do NOT taste anything, or if the metallic taste is mild and slow to develop, then you need zinc supplementation. The great thing about it is that the Zinc Status is both the test and the cure…it’s zinc sulfate, and you test each day until you get an immediate metallic taste. It tests your zinc levels and builds up your zinc levels at the same time. What could be easier? You can get a 4 oz. bottle online at various stores for about $15.
