They will tell you, yes, their aches and pains vanished, and, yes, they were able to overcome chronic disease with these herbs, but more importantly they will describe how their emotions changed. Suddenly they began to feel happy or they felt calm for the first time in years, or they felt grounded and in touch with themselves. These are the kinds of things you hear from people that have undergone an energetic shift, not just a biochemical shift.

Heavy metals warning for ayurvedic herbs is a distraction from the real threats to your health

Yet the FDA chooses to selectively attack herbs only. We have so many dangerous ingredients in the food supply right now that don't belong there, and yet they remain perfectly legal because the FDA is unwilling to take steps to protect the American public from those ingredients. Those include sodium nitrite, monosodium glutamate (which causes nervous system disorders), and aspartame. We also have foods with trans-fatty acids and artificial colors and preservatives. All of these ingredients should be outlawed by the FDA if the agency were really interested in protecting the American public.

The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals

Closer to home, in Canada, herbs with medicinal effects (any herb for which claims are made that it improves health) are now classified as drugs. The supplements tryptophan and L-carnitine were once available in Canadian health food stores for $14 per 100 capsules. Now they are available only by prescription for about $120-$190 per 100 capsules. Surely not in America, you say! Think again. Some form of CODEX can and will become part of our law and order regulations here. Do some research, do your homework, and educate yourself on the issues.
If you are using cut herbs, strain the mixture through a tea strainer into a teacup. When straining, make sure to press on the cut herb pieces in the strainer to get as much liquid /decoction out of the herb as possible. If you are using powdered herb, allow the powder to settle to the bottom of the An herbal infusion is much like preparing a cup of tea. pot and then pour off the decoction from the top into a teacup (any sediment missed will settle to the bottom of the teacup). Standard dosages for decoction are generally V2 to 1 cup, two or three times daily.
I grew weird plants, herbs, and vegetables, raised a motley menagerie of teenage boys and exotic animals (which hardly ever acted like they were supposed to), had too much land that was "unproductive," and was obviously in dire need of a husband to make her do things right. Leastwise, that's what the local farmers and ranchers would tell you. That didn't keep them from dropping by to tell me about their aches and pains to see what kind of odd concoction of plants I might pick out of the gardens and give them, and which somehow mysteriously worked.
I continued studying herbal medicine and alternative health as a hobby, choosing to use herbs and natural health rather than drugs for my and my family's health. They thought I was pretty odd too, but they accepted the strange herbal potions and nutritional remedies I gave them when they were sick. Then, in 1989,1 took a much-needed vacation that changed the course of my life yet again. Maybe it was just the first time I had taken a breath or a break in many years, but a journey to the wilds of Africa somehow reconnected me to the land, nature, and wildlife.
Extra time filtering is normally required when working with plant powders, but many herbalists prefer working with powders instead of bulky cut herbs, since they make stronger extracts. It is also recommended that you use distilled or purified water when extracting medicinal plants. Regular tap water can contain chlorine and other chemicals that might have an interaction or chain reaction with one or more of the many chemicals found in plants. Instructions for the main preparation methods used throughout this book in the reference guides and in the main plant section are detailed below.

Flora Therapeutic Teas are made from herbs selected from pristine environments and are certified organic whenever possible; they are also packaged in unbleached paper tea bags (which means they are dioxin-free). The herbs are dried at low temperatures to protect the quality of the essential oils and tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial content. Mountain Rose Herbs: Handcrafted Teas (www.mountainrose-herbs.com) are exceptionally fresh and long-lasting loose leaf teas.

Heavy metals warning for ayurvedic herbs is a distraction from the real threats to your health

Of course, when it comes to quality control of herbal supplements, it's important to source your herbs and supplements from trusted companies who have stringent quality control standards. For example, if you are buying spirulina from a company that sources it from Cyanotech in Kona, Hawaii, you know that you're getting spirulina without any heavy metals whatsoever, because it's grown in pristine waters pumped up from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, unaffected by modern industrial run-off or other sources of contamination.

Study shows the public is turning to alternative medicine and away from dangerous prescription drugs

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

I find it fascinating that, when talking about drugs and herbs in the same person's body, the doctors always phrase it as if the herbs are interfering with the drugs. You notice it is never the other way around? Maybe it is the drugs interfering with the herbs, because the herbs are supporting healthy immune function, detoxification of the body and a healthy nervous system with mental awareness and lucidity. Prescription drugs try to hijack your body's biochemistry The drugs, on the other hand, try to take over the body and hijack the biochemistry.

You can bet that in the ongoing campaign to discredit herbs and gain new regulatory power over them, the FDA is going to cite this study about finding heavy metals in a few imported Ayurvedic herbal products. But the agency will never tell you what I'm about to say, which is that virtually all prescription drugs contain dangerous chemical compounds they are similarly dangerous to human health. Many of the chemical compounds in prescription drugs are far more toxic than heavy metals, and yet they are allowed to be prescribed to tens of millions of Americans.

Product Review: Fiberzon combines cleansing fiber with medicinal rainforest herbs to offer potent digestive health formula

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
One of the ways to get rid of those parasites is to take herbs like fenugreek, especially when combined with some of the other ingredients in this formula, such as slippery elm bark and psyllium husk. So this Fiberzon product is an anti-parasite formula at the same time that it's a digestive health enhancement formula. I'll talk about some of the other ingredients in a minute, but let's get to the big question here: why is fiber so important for your overall health in the first place? To answer that question, let's look at the function of the digestive tract.
Fiberzon is based on psyllium husk, but it adds a potent assortment of other detoxifying herbs that makes it a much better product than psyllium husk alone. And I have now switched over to the Fiberzon product instead of straight psyllium husk fiber. This Fiberzon product is expertly formulated -- I'm impressed by the ingredients list, because it's obvious that this has been put together by someone who really understands intestinal health.

Laetrile has never killed anybody directly, certainly not (when) used as it's intended, and the margin of safety with herbs and vitamins is so tremendous, there's really no discussion. I was at a professional conference a few months ago where an associate professor of medicine at UCLA was talking about herbs for cancer. One of her comments that really struck me was she said, "You know, with herbs there's such a wide margin of safety that I really recommend that all physicians should integrate herbs with their medical practice." Mike: That's quite a statement coming from an MD.

Amazon Herb Company review: John Easterling, rainforest herbs and more

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
I'd like to see tens of thousands of acres of rainforest in Peru as part of this program to grow and harvest herbs and bring them to the United States where they can help save lives. And frankly, I'd like to see Amazon John and the other principals of his company receive tremendous rewards for having the courage to step forward and do this, and I don't mean just financial rewards, I mean recognition -- the kind of global recognition that says these are pioneering people who have done something deeply significant for mankind. Nobel Prize recognition.
You will find your energetic shifts to be far easier when you are supported by these herbs. A community of healers and leaders If you want to join a community of true healers, people who have a calling to healing themselves and helping heal those around them, then I invite you to get involved with the Amazon Herb Company. This is a company with an energy like no other company I've ever witnessed. I've experienced it first-hand in meeting so many of the people who are involved in this company and talking with Amazon John in person.
And then you will have initiated a sequence of healing effects in your own body that are multiplied by the biophysical, biochemical and bioenergetic healing potential of these herbs and you will be able to overcome practically any disease or condition imaginable. I don't care if it's chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or fibromyalgia or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or any of these other so-called diseases that are actually nothing but illusions -- they're just names given to a pattern of symptoms because doctors don't know what's wrong with you.
Thus, it all makes sense, because that's the way in which these herbs are harvested, and that's the intention being imprinted throughout the Amazon Herb organization. I'm a fairly good judge of character. As an owner of a software company, I've dealt with a lot of people over the years. I've also done a fair amount of work in vibrational medicine, healing through intention, Reiki and so on. I've also learned to listen to my intuition. So I have a fairly good sense of what dominant intentions people are carrying around when I have the chance to observe them and interact with them.
This element is present in all foods, herbs, supplements or anything you ingest into your body. It is imprinted onto those foods and supplements by the people who come into contact with them during harvesting, production and marketing. And so it is the intention, mindset and character of these individuals that become imprinted in these products that we ultimately absorb into the cells of our body.
