I have used several products in the last two months. They include the Full Body Cleanse, Detox bath drops, Aura cleansing, Mucus Formula and the Alkaline Formula. I battle MS and I received the results of the MRI, and it shows that my ventricular went from 8-9mm to 1.2 cm (I was told it is atrophy) I believe I will be healed, but I am at a lost of what to do next. I researched it and found that exercising will be good and eating veggies and fruit (having no alcohol). I am continuing on the Mucus and Alkaline Formula. Do you know what I should do next? By the way my cholesterol went DOWN to 159 from 224 at times 242.

Keep doing everything you're doing. Take 3 capsules of Brain Booster formula 2-3 times per day. Drink 1-2 cups of Brain Booster per day as well. Also, do not worry! Think positive as you consume the herbs daily and eat a mostly vegan/raw foods diet.

Why do I always crave clay, while I have my period?

You are experiencing PICA which results when there is mineral deficiency, so your body is making you crave clay during the time of your menses. Your menses must be heavy, and you're losing a lot of nutrition (minerals) in your menstrual blood. Recommended Dherbs.com products include: Menstrual Cycle, Female Hormonal, and Vitamin & Minerals OR Electric Greens Combo (or both formulas).

I've noticed that majority of your supplements directs your customers to take 3 tablets daily. Is there any way around taking so many tablets a day, when ordering 3 or more supplements? It makes a person feel like an addict taking 12, or more tablets a day everyday for a year or more.

You don't have to take 3 capsules at one time. You can take 1 or 2 capsules. You have free will in how you take your capsules! Read "How To Take Herbs".

I am a 33 year old who has been experiencing nocturnal emissions since I was a teenager. I do not masturbate, but every now and then I experience these emissions. During my light research, it was stated by the health and medical industry that nocturnal emissions are normal occurrence within males. I know there's so much more to know about this. Can you provide some insight as to what it is? Is it really natural? Is it possible for a person to have emissions, who is not sexually active? Can you please help me?

Please read our new article "Nocturnal Emissions" in the Articles section, Beloved!

I would like to know if it's OK to take a Multi-vitamin pill? I am only asking because it has iron in it. I have heard it's not good to take iron, because your body already has iron. Can I take a Multi-vitamin pill without iron, or just take a small dosage, or one pill of a Multi-vitamin supplement with iron?

I'd recommend to stay away from iron supplements on the market. Only take organic iron supplements (herbal-based) e.g. Dherbs.com Iron Phosphate formula. Our Electric Greens Combo would supply both minerals and iron.

I had a question about jaggery, a natural sweetener. Do you know much about it? There is a company producing it in Kenya, because maple syrup is not available in Kenya. I do eat dates, but sometimes they are not available. Do you think this product is a good alternative?

Is it safe to take "alfalfa and devil claw" without the gel-capsules? For instance, pour it's contents into water, or a soft drink?

Both alfalfa and devil claw are plants that are commonly used for health treatments. As long as the supplements are natural you should be able to empty the contents into freshly squeezed juices, smoothies and herbal teas. Most gel capsules are simply just to mask the taste of the contents. Read "How To Take Herbs".

I heard about your website on the Warren Valentine show on radio. I've just broken out with blisters on my third and fourth toe on my left foot, and my left foot is full of fever and resembles redness in color, plus my foot is swollen. A doctor told me that I am a borderline diabetic, however, my family history doesn't support that argument. I am in need of some serious help. I am having trouble putting weight on my left foot. Could you all help stir me in direction for some relief for my left foot?

Please follow the advice in the Toe Nail Fungus article, soak the feet as the article advises. Your body is asking to be detoxed. Skin problems point to blood problems. Read the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder as well, Beloved! I recommend the Full Body Cleanse, and Foot Oil.

I have read that drinking teas with the herb senna can cause the loss of electrolytes and may contribute to heart failure. Is this true?

Not true! Only true of man-made drugs and other products! Herbs have intelligence. Read "Herbs vs. Pharmaceutical Drugs", "Are Herbs Safe To Take?".

Has your ministry done any extensive research on glutathione? I've been reading a lot about it, and the one place that sells it in liquid form is quite expensive, $75 for 4 oz. So I was wondering if it might be available on your website in the near future.

My daughter (who is 2 yrs old) has had fevers which went up to 101-104. She has had 3 febrile seizures due to the fevers. Her doctor explained to me that it is not actually how high her temp is, but how quickly it went up that sent her into the seizure. So, what do I do in that case? I don't want the fever to go up so quickly that she begins to seize, and I obviously can't wait until it goes up to 104 for fear of her having a seizure. What do you suggest? I do have the ginger extract from you. Thank goodness she has not had any fevers at all recently. I pray that she has grown out of it but, just in case....what do you suggest?

Keep the child cool (cool bath, cold towel on head, etc.)! But more importantly, have the child to cleanse periodically with the Children's Full Body Cleanse. Fever's occur when one is toxic. Fever causes sweat of toxins via the skin. "Why Children Should Detox".
