I had a surgery on my stomach about 6 years ago (perforated ulcer). I never gain my weight back I am now 41 and would like to gain about 50lbs. Should I get the BIO-PROTEIN POWDER MIX or another powder in pill form (I forgot the name)?

To naturally gain about 50 lbs, try eating a bunch of almonds, avocados, baked potatoes, etc. Take Vegan Protein formula (6 caps daily, use powder in smoothies). Use visualization techniques. See yourself how you desire to be!

I wanted to know what should I do about my acne? And my hair has been extremely shedding a lot ( I don't receive relaxers/perms) after I had my son. He will be one year old in March. Thank you!

ACNE: please read our article "Skin Rash" for more information. HAIR: please read our article "Hair Problems" and "Black Hair, Nappy Hair" for more information.

I was wondering, is there a "less expensive" alternative to your Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen? Honestly, I don't have the money to order the entire kit right now. I previously did your Full Body Cleanse and was very satisfied. I suffered from HSV2 for 15 years and since doing your kit 4 months ago, I have quit the pharmaceutical medicine and have not had any re-occurrence. I really would like to do the antiviral kit but at the present time cannot afford the entire kit. Is there a breakdown regime of the kit that could still be worth while but a little bit more of the cost conservative side? I will wait to get the kit if you recommend doing it that way instead but I'm wondering if you had any other options, more around $100. I have really enjoyed reading your monthly newsletter since becoming a member and have started on your articles. Great work, makes you re-think old ways that aren't beneficial for higher purposes. Any feedback that you can give, I'd appreciate it.

I would recommend a daily regimen of Anti-V Formula, Rainforest Tonic, and Blood & Lymphatic Formula until you can afford the actual Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen. Make sure you join Club Dherbs in the future to get those automatic savings on our products and services. Glad you got great benefits with the Full Body Cleanse! Also, glad you enjoy the monthly newsletters and articles.

I have a big problem in swallowing huge pills. Is there any other form you may have that I can take the herb in? Would like to detox however I cannot swallow big pills.

The next best thing to do would be to perform the Children Detox (liquid extracts) because it is liquid form. Please read "How To Take Herbs".

I am about to purchase the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen and was thinking about purchasing a few other products to expedite and increase the effectiveness of my healing process. To accompany the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen I was thinking about also purchasing the "Venereal Buster", Anti-V Tea, MALE HEALTH TEA, ParaWrm Tea, Anti Viral Extract, and the Parasite And Worms Eliminator Extract. Do you think using these other products would compliment the Anti Viral Kit and not reduce its effectiveness? Also, since I am making a large purchase, do you offer any type of discounts for these types of purchases? Male Health tea, Parasite & Worm tea, Anti-Viral (extract), and the Parasite & Worms Eliminator (extract).

Yes they will! Just don't take the capsule formulas ("Venereal Buster" and Zinc Formula while taking the 6 formulas of the Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen). Wait until you're done to take these 2 formulas. Everything else you can take during the Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen). Please read "How To Take Herbs".

I have an under active thyroid and take Eltroxin daily. I would like to do the Full Body Cleanse. Are the herbs and Eltroxin OK to take together?

I don't recommend taking herbs with drugs (toxins). It defeats the whole purpose! Herbs heal, drugs kill!

Start brushing your teeth with Activated Charcoal. Dip your toothbrush (with a little natural toothpaste on it) into some Carbon and brush. Add a little water to your mouth.

I am 44yrs old and have 20 pounds to lose. After I quit taking EHEDRINE I started gaining my weight back. I use to take EPHEDRINE to keep the weight off and no longer am able to order it in my state of Minnesota because it is banned. So I ordered some EPHDRA POWDER in hopes it would do the same for me as the ephedrine did but the ephdra powder doesn't SUPPRESS MY APPETITE like the ephedrine tablets did. I was wondering what I could add to the powder to bring out the appetite suppressant qualities in the ephdra powder. I have tried to brew it with my coffee and that hasn't helped either. I really would like to take this weight off and ephedrine was the only thing that helped me and I pray that your knowledge would help me to lose this excess weight. I bought your thyroid capsules and wondering how long before I will notice any energy difference. (I have a hypothyroid which is probably the cause of the gaining weight but the ephedrine helped me with that also). I pray you can! You are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate all your information you give us.

You're giving external factors too much power over you. Things never heal us, only placate us. Truly answers lie within. What did Ephedrine have that God did not put in you? Forget about keeping weight off, instead focus on maintaining your desired weight. Why do you need to suppress your appetite? What you suppress in one area will manifest in another area. Suppression does not heal, only hides things and allows things to grow. Your challenge is to cultivate self discipline and maintain your desired weight. Read my article "Ephedra" under articles. Ephedrine is a damn drug! Drugs don't heal, they only suppress! Nature (Ephedra) takes time! My knowledge cannot help you to lose weight, but only stimulate you into taking control of your own life and health, especially pertaining to weight. Your power lies within! It dos not come from outside of self! The Kingdom of God is WITHIN!

My heels have a lot of pain. When I walk on them it feels like pins sticking.

I would like to know what are the benefits of green food drinks (superfoods as I've heard them called) and how often could I drink them in a day? Thank you in advance for your wisdom!

The benefits are all positive: alkaline, energizing, nutritious, rich in chlorophyll, antioxidant, etc. And you can drink them as much as you like, just like many people drink wine, beer, coffee, Kool-Aid, milk, etc. As much as they like and never worry about it. It's all good! Please check some of our articles on Superfoods.

I heard about Hoodia on the TODAY show on NBC. It's supposed to suppress your appetite for weight loss. I have printed Wikipedia for a more formal definition. It's supposed to be natural. Hoodia is a genus of 13 species in the flowering plant family Apocynaceae, under the subfamily Asclepiadoideae. [1] They are stem succulents, described as "cactiform" because of their remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family. They can reach up to 1mhigh and have large flowers, often with flesh colour and strong smell. Many Hoodia species are protected plants, typical of the Namib Desert, ranging from Central Namibia to southern Angola, especially in plains and rocky areas. Common names include "Bushman's Hat" and "Queen of the Namib". Several species are grown as garden plants, and one species, Hoodia gordonii, is being investigated for use as an appetite suppressant.

Suppression is not cure or healing! You can't solve a problem by suppressing it! A suppressed appetite will manifest in some other area, i.e., an enormous appetite for sex, shopping, drugs, etc. Just because a thing is natural doesn't mean you are addressing the root of the problem, Beloved! It's much deeper than suppressing!

Should I try your Smoke-Less Formula and No Alcohol Formula BEFORE I detox??? Please advise.

I say detox first but stop looking for external solutions for internal problems. The answer always lies within self. You are the answer, not some product (natural or unnatural).

What happens when you lose your kidney? I have a tumor in my right kidney and will be set up for surgery when I go back to the doctor on Feb. What do I need to take after the surgery?

Removal of a kidney will tax your body and other remaining kidney. After your surgery perform the Full Body Cleanse. Drink Juniper Berry and/or Cornsilk tea which are good for the kidneys.

I had recently been taking Ibuprofen for joint pain and stopped after about 4 mos as I noticed it, or something else has caused my ankles and feet to swell preventing me from wearing my cowboy boots. I have taken a glucose tolerance test that showed I was breaking down sugar(s) properly. Is there anything you can recommend to reduce the swelling I'm experiencing?
