The Plight of Healing in America Today
Dr. Richard Schulze - Over the last 80 years, organized medical groups and pharmaceutical
companies, using lawyers, bribes, lobbyist, insurance companies and
the strong arm of the Food and Drug Administration, have been very busy.
They have corrupted elected officials to pass laws to remove any competition.
They have crushed Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care.
Their goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical
doctors and pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked!
We have watched them pass more and more laws restricting our rights;
they have made many healing herbs, foods and even nutrients illegal.
Natural health professionals that flourished a few decades ago are now
barred by law to practice, and Natural Doctors, Holistic Healers, Health
Food Store Owners and even family members of the sick have been arrested
and jailed for using natural remedies.
Dr. Schulze has tried to make changes in Washington and was physically
beaten and jailed. He then decided the best way for him to create medical
freedom was to take it to the people, his grass roots Natural Healing
Crusade. Dr. Schulze believes we can put the medical and pharmaceutical
industries in their place by educating everyone in the healing powers
naturally present in the human body and how to use the foods and herbs
given to us by God and Nature. Most importantly each of us must stop
using and supporting these deadly industries by learning the healthy
and natural God-given alternatives.
Dr. Schulze is dedicated to health freedom, to give the power back to
the people through health education, to help people regain their freedom
of choice to heal themselves, make conscious health decisions, work
with natural health practitioners and freely use any plant, food or
health product they choose. Herbs can make an impact on almost any condition,
no matter how serious! Dr. Schulze helped thousands to regain their
health and get rid of cancer, AIDS, heart disease and other "incurables."
Curing with Cayenne
Many herbalists believe that Cayenne is the
most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the
entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system.
It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs
when used with them.
Cayenne
has the ability to clear the blood of matter and gases that cause digestive
problems and to help people who suffer from cold hands or feet. It alleviates
inflammation and can break up the deposits that contribute to the pain
of arthritis. It clears sinus congestion, conjunctivitis, and spongy,
bleeding gums. Because it also has astringent qualities, it can stop
bleeding and prevent swelling. A source of Vitamin C, it rejuvenates
the entire body when energy is depleted and is such a powerful stimulant
that just a few sips of cayenne water or a few grains of cayenne on
the lips may help prevent shock or depression in times of physical or
emotional trauma. And it is believed to be a good tonic for strengthening
the heart. From my studies and my own experience with cayenne, I consider
it to be an important ingredient for anybody interested in taking educated
and careful responsibility for his or her own well-being in situations
that are not serious enough to require a doctor's care or in circumstances
in which medical attention is not immediately available.
Health and the Wild Food Chain
Cindy Engel PhD
Much research on the benefits of organic food focuses on the nutritional
quality of that food. However organic food has other health-enhancing
properties which may be even more important medicinal properties.
Of course, the distinction between nutrition and medicine not always
clear a phenomenon illustrated by the ways animals keep themselves well
in the wild. Wild animals have evolved a range of behavioral strategies
to maintain health: avoidance, preventive and curative strategies. Some
of these strategies are related to diet and are worthy of our attention.
Dr.Engel provides a good reason why traditional herbology bases functions
of herbs upon taste. Animals have been self-healing for millions
of years and our taste buds have evolved for this purpose! For example,
many species show increased tolerance of bitter tastes when they have
an active bacterial infection. This makes sense, since herbs with natural
antibiotics are usually quite bitter. Many species will actively seek
out such bitter herbs when infected.
In captivity, gorillas suffer from serious bacterial gut infections
such as Shigellosis that can also lead to reactive arthritis, IBS and
Chrons disease. In the wild, the lowland gorillas takes 90% of their
diet from the fruits of Aframonum, a relative of the ginger plant, that
is a potent antimicrobial. Scientists were intrigued as to why such
a strong antimicrobial diet did not disrupt gut bacteria as it does
in humans taking antibiotics. What they found was that this fruit actively
keeps the bad bacteria in check without harming the good bacteria.
In other words, Aframonum keeps gorillas healthy as a preventive.
Blessed TBlessed Thistle Herb

Rich traditions of treating ailments with natural products
Sharon Kolasinski, M.D. - "For thousands of years, humans have used products
from the natural world around them for food, clothing and shelter. The
use of herbs, plants, and other natural products has been developed
for many different reasons, one of the most important being for medicinal
purposes. Throughout the world many cultures have developed elaborate
rituals and rich traditions of treating ailments with natural products
and some of these have survived into the modern era. In the contemporary
western world, a renewed appreciation for the use of natural products
in healing has grown over recent decades.
As the new millennium approaches, we are witnessing a continuing
explosion of interest in what have come to be termed "alternative therapies.
We know from a series of national surveys that have been conducted by
researchers at the Harvard Medical School that a large percentage of
Americans use alternative therapies for the treatment of a variety of
conditions. Many of the most often cited reasons have to do with musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis."
Tonic Herbs for Longevity, Rejuvenation, Immunity
Mother Nature has devised a marvelous system of nutrition and nurture
for us. Tonic herbs strengthen and improve specific organs, systems,
weaknesses or the body as a whole. They are generally gentle herbs that
are used to stimulate and increase the function of organs that are not
operating at their highest level and to prevent a decline in the function of organs.
Amazon Herb formulas offer you the purest, most nutrient-rich herbal
remedies in the world. The herbal combinations are based on those used
by the Indigenous People of the Amazon for thousands of years to maintain
and optimize health, strength and stamina. They are the result of a
powerful blend of tribal wisdom and scientific verification that documents
and supports the beneficial properties of these botanicals. Their wild
botanicals are sustainably harvested in the lush, virgin terrain of
the Amazon Rainforest. They undergo a rare and superior preparation
technique to retain their full essence and bioavailability. Each formula
is backed by research, plus years of development and testing by healthcare
professionals. They are living foods that work, just as nature intended!
Why Herbal Tincture?
The concentrated tincture/extract method is the most effective method
of taking and assimilating herbs. Herbal extract enter the blood stream
rapidely and are easier to use than herbs in other forms by simply
placing a drop or two under the tongue or adding to water or juice.
Live-concentrated tincture/extracts have none of the disadvantages of
fresh or encapsulated herbs or of herbs taken in teas as heat destroys
valuable enzymes.
Green juice and Herbal Tonics Are My Lifeline
Most people who have explored the wondrously wide avenues of self-healing
have heard about wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice
has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways:
cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance
in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver
and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice
has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables.
It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance,
including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice
stem from the fact that it is a living food, which is a complete protein
with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll.
Herbs for Heart Health
Natural remedies for high blood pressure like herbal and homeopathic
medicines can lower blood pressure in hypertension patients to a great
degree. Herbs can provide multiple benefits as they contain complex
compounds, which have long lasting effects.
C.K. Benny Foo, M.D. - "My
mum is 89 years young and suffers from ischaemic heart disease and congestive
cardiac failure. Her main complaints were severe shortness of breath
on mild exertion, and coughing. She had to be wheeled around whenever
we took her for an outing. I took two bottles of
immune support-Heart home to Australia and started my mum on 2 capsules twice
a day. After only three weeks she noticed some improvement in her breathing.
After only 5 weeks she said the new capsules we brought back were #1,
indicating with her right thumb up. Now she is able to walk further
with much less shortness of breath. In mid-October we took her to Werribbee
Zoo and brought the wheel chair along for her to use. After a short
journey in the wheel chair she decided to walk by herself. We tried
to dissuade her and told her that the walk would be too much for her
heart. She insisted, and so we relented and let her push the wheelchair
around the zoo. She completed the walk around the zoo with no shortness
of breath! She has derived other benefits from taking a unique immune support product for the heart, both
her appetite and weight have increased! We are extremely happy immune support-Heart
has helped her."
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of the most versatile plants on
earth, and the ultimate mineral balance is accomplished by the perfect
blend that nature placed in the plants. Aloe vera, also known as the
medicinal aloe, is a species of succulent plant that probably originated
in Northern Africa, the Canary islands and Cape Verde. Aloe vera grows
in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa, India and other
arid areas. The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal
medicine. When Dr. Terry Pulse proved that Aloe Vera healing juice contains
the important substance known as "Acemannan", he gave the world the
scientific evident.
Aloe Vera has a long chain of polysaccharides that
will feed the cells by detoxifying and building a strong immune system.
That in return greatly improves the defense of the cells. The improved
defense system protects the cells from virus and bacteria, which could
other-wise penetrate the membrane
and cause damage. Aloe Vera is known to release energy, oxygen, and
detoxifies the affected membranes. Through this type of energy release,
even cases of leukemia have received improvement through the stimulation
of the bone marrow.
Many scientific studies of the use of aloe vera have
been undertaken. Dr. Daniels a German doctor researched the effect that
Aloe Vera healing juice has on the leukocytes. With this he proved that
the cell walls are improved in their resistant factor so that the most
aggressive viruses can not penetrate. There is evidence that Aloe vera
extracts may be useful in the treatment of wound and burn healing,
diabetes and elevated blood
lipids in humans. These positive effects are thought to be due
to the presence of compounds such as polysaccharides, mannans, anthraquinones
and lectins. Aloe vera juice is used for consumption and relief of digestive
issues such as heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome.
Healing with Moringa - The Miracle Tree
Moringa oleifera Lam is a highly valued plant, distributed in many

the treatment of different ailments in the indigenous system of medicine,
particularly in South Asia.
This review focuses on the detailed phytochemical composition, medicinal uses, along with pharmacological
properties of different parts of this multipurpose tree. India's ancient
tradition of ayurveda medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with
the leaves of the Moringa tree.
Why Most Herbal Formulas Don't Work!
A Message from Dr. Richard Schulze - A Master Herbalist
One of the worst aspects of many herbal formulas today is the poor quality
of herbs used. The vast majority of herbal products are made from herbs
grown outside the US. There is only one reason for this: they are cheap.
Herbs brought in from India, China, Egypt, Mexico or Eastern Europe
cost literally pennies a pound. I never used these poor quality herbs
in my clinic. I always used American organically grown herbs that can
cost over 20 times as much. I have visited these countries and found
filthy, disgusting growing conditions, toxic pollution and out-of-control
use of pesticides and insecticides.
One way these herbal manufacturers assure their safety,
not your health, is to design formula with very small amounts of the
potent herbs, or none at all. Then, to be really safe, they suggest
a dosage that is so low it's useless. They don't want to take any risks.
To further weaken any potency, many manufacturers have abandoned the
tried-and-true methods of old herbalists for quick extraction processes,
high tech (high heat) machinery, freeze-dried herbs, ignoring the moons
and seasons, mostly to make a quick buck. The result, most herbal products
I see today are worthless junk. Many manufacturers are more concerned
that their product tastes good or has a great-looking label than with
whether you will get well using
it. I also see labels loaded with sophisticated laboratory-testing results
for potency, trying to convince you that the colorless, tasteless and
odorless water inside will actually benefit you. How stupid do they
think we are?
"When I first started my own healing journey in the
1960's, one of my first great shocks was that most health products didn't
work. This included all of the herbal formulas I tried. I was constantly
amazed at the weakness of these so-called intense herbal formulas that
were supposed to change my life. They didn't. I would take them diligently
and nothing would happen. Out of frustration, and my own illness, I
remember taking 20 to 100 times the dosages, the whole bottle, and still
little or no effect. In order to get myself well from a terminal heart
disease, I had to break all the rules and make it up as I went. Because
I broke the rules, I got well.
In the 1970's, I started helping others get well
and opened up my clinic. From the early days of my clinical practice,
I was especially interested in helping people with serious illness and
degenerative diseases. Almost all other graduates from the various institutes
I attended worked mainly on young, healthy people who wanted to be a
bit healthier, but I was obsessed with emergency treatment and the sick
and dying. The same useless herbal formulas that failed me years before
were now failing to help any of my patients. They thought they were
doing something wrong and this is why they were coming to see me. I
was forced to improve upon the crude formulas I had developed to heal
myself and also create new formulas that worked.
Celebrate the Timeless Art of Aromatherapy!
Aromatherapy
is the art and science of using essential oils from plant sources for
health and wellbeing. Essential oils have a potentially powerful healing
capacity. The early civilizations --- Egyptian, Greek,
Roman, Chinese, Egyptian, --- made use of aromatic
plant materials in religious ritual and to promote physical and mental
wellness. Aroma therapy is a specific science and a deeply complex
art. When inhaled, essential oil component molecules enter the nasal
passages where they stimulate the olfactory
nerve,
sending messages directly into the limbic system of the brain. The limbic
system is the seat of memory, learning and emotion. The inhalation of
essential oils triggers changes within the limbic system which in turn
can stimulate physiological responses within the body via the nervous,
endocrine or immune systems.
Essential oils nourish and stimulate your skin, enhance your immune system, oils have
a potentially powerful healing capacity when appropriately therapeutically
applied. and delight the senses. Use them in your home and environment
as room mists, candles, air fresheners and vaporizers. Open your mind
to Aromatherapy and reap the benefits!
The Health Wonders of Bee Pollen
by Steve Schecter, N.D.
Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life. The percentage
of rejuvenating elements in bee pollen remarkably exceeds those present
in brewer's yeast and wheat germ. Bee pollen corrects the deficient
or unbalanced nutrition, common in the customs of our present-day civilization
of consuming incomplete foods, often with added chemical ingredients,
which expose us to physiological problems as various as they are numerous.
Bee pollen is often referred to as nature's most
complete food. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible,
other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has
long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including the
fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for
its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates
organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life
span. Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy
levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes
and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance.
Bee pollen is considered an energy and nutritive tonic
in Chinese medicine. Cultures throughout the world use it in a surprising
number of applications: for improving endurance and vitality, extending
longevity, aiding recovery from chronic illness, adding weight during
convalescence, reducing cravings and addictions, regulating the intestines,
building new blood, preventing infectious diseases such as the cold
and flue (it has antibiotic type properties), and helping overcome retardation
and other developmental problems in children. It is thought to protect
against radiation and to have anti-cancer qualities.

Swedish Bitters
This recipe was found among the writings of the
well-known Swedish physician, rector of medicine, Dr. Samst. He died
in his 104th year in a riding accident. His parents and grandparents
all reached a patriarchal age.
"As a refugee from the German speaking area of Czechoslovakia,
I became ill with typhoid fever in a camp in Bavaria, caused by contaminated
meat and, through it came jaundice and an obstruction of the intestines.
I spent more than 6 months in hospital and when my husband got my mother,
my mother-in-law, our child and myself to Austria, I was a young but
sick woman. At night I was hit by terrible pain that shot through my
body like a sword. In these moments I could neither stand nor sit, walk
nor lie down; at the same time I vomited and had diarrhoea. I was a
helpless bundle of misery. These were after pains of the typhoid fever
which sometimes can go on for years, as the doctor said. One day a woman
brought me a small bottle containing a dark brown, strong smelling liquid.
She had heard of my illness and wanted to help.
The Swedish Bitters
had relieved her of a serious complaint. Accompanying it was a transcript
of an "Old Manuscript " in which was explained, in 46 points, how these
drops heal every illness."

Bach Flower Remedies
The Bach Flower Remedies are 38 plant and flower
based remedies, each one specially devised to treat a different feeling.
They help you to manage the emotional demands of everyday life, the
kind of feelings that affect everyday life in the 90s. The Bach Flower Remedies work by
stimulating
the body's own capacity to heal itself, by balancing negative feelings,
helping you to take control, feel good about yourself, and get more
out of life. The Bach Flower Remedies are unique, simple to use, suitable
for the entire family.
The Bach Flower Remedies : Including Heal Thyself, the Twelve Healers,
the Bach Remedies Repertory Dr. Edward Bach (1886 - 1936)
A British origin Doctor - discovered flower therapy
between 1930-1936, which is called Bach flower therapy later on. He
was a renowned physician and bacteriologist. While practicing as an
allopathic doctor he realized the meaning of old dictum that "There
are no diseases, only sick people". When he was treating the factory
laborers prone to various diseases, he observed that the workers were
working under some unknown fear - the fear that they would be jobless.
Thus when the mind is under constant pressure of fear, terror, uncertainty,
despondency and despair, it is obvious that the harmony between mind
and body gets imbalanced. The vital force of life gets disturbed resulting
into illness. This also makes the immunity of body frail and the physical
body gets easily susceptible to the diseases or conditions. Therefore
the patient is more important than the diseases. His mental make up
is vital in determining the correct line of treatment and every ailment
is the result or expression of mental disturbances due to accumulated
various mind obstructions originating either itself from mind or surrounding
environment.
