What foods can I juice to get the proper daily amount of minerals, vitamins? I don't want to take supplements. Feel free to direct me to a link or website etc. Thank you for your time! Peace!

You can juice fruits and vegetables for nutrition, Beloved. Jucie fruits and vegetables separately though! They all provide nutrition. Fruits and vegetables are the best!

It's been 2 weeks now since I started eating exclusively raw. I'm even baking whole wheat bread in the sun. This was a great substitute for the cooked rice I used to eat. I'm also eating quite a large amount of grapes (red and white), as my body seems to ask for it. But recently, I noticed that my heart is beating quite strongly, and I find difficulty to bear the hot weather as a consequence. Also, I noticed a white pimple on the tip of my tongue, and this was a confirmation that there was maybe too much stimulating energy in the heart (according to oriental diagnosis of the tongue). When I eat sun baked bread, I automatically feel heat in the body. So I'm wondering if this is a good food to continue with or not. Isn't it more "neutral" (in terms of energy) to include a small portion of cooked brown rice along with the raw regimen? Just want remind you of my health issue: HPV and bacteria in the urinary tract.

Greetings! No need to feel helpless. Feeling is very powerful and you will attract more of what you are feeling if you don't control your feeling. Please consider ordering and READING (digesting) our "Mental Science Manual" and "The Love Manual" e-books. If you had sex with the guy who cheated on you, you ignited stored residual feelings from the initial violation of your trust. Forgive yourself (and him) and move on. Okay, as far as the sun baked bread, LISTEN to your body. If you're feeling heat, it's stimulating. Cut back on eating this bread. Go back to a little brown or wild rice (very balancing). Remember to detoxify your body periodically! Full Body Cleanse and Anti-V Formula.

There was a Vegan Couple that had a newborn baby, and the baby had died from what seemed to be a lack a of nutrients because the couple fed the baby a vegan diet. If you remember this, what do you think went wrong?

The couple was from Atlanta! What went wrong is that while they were well-intentioned, they were ignorant, ignorant to true nutrition. They fed the baby soy milk, and soy milk does not contain nutrition. They didn't supplement the soy milk with nutrition which they could have done with herbs such as alfalfa, Irish Moss, Iceland Moss, etc.

I noticed about a year ago while showering that there was clump protruding from my vagina. I visited the Dr and was told the walls are weak. I was given a pessary and told to do kegels. Is this happening because I had surgery removing my uterus? Is the absence of the organ is causing a lack of support in that area? Is there anything I can do to change the condition without surgery?

You hit the hammer on the head on the nail. That's exactly what's causing your challenge, Beloved! I recommend use of mental science (see our "The Mental Science Manual" e-book), perform Kegels exercises, as well as anti-gravity exercises (legs up higher than the head so blood flow can rush down to the head), etc.

How can supplements suffice instead of the direct use of the plant source, such as milk thistle (silybum marianum), known as silymarin? Just like the ("so called)" vitamin supplements. Is there a substitute for the real herb, fruit, and vegetable?

Herbs are plants, just pulverized and powdered. We don't call our herbs supplements. Herbs are food and you can't supplement food, Beloved! There is no substitute for a real food, Beloved! Only the real thing!

I used to be a large woman, now I am 150 pounds lighter. My neck and chin are a terrible sight with the extra skin. I was considering having a lift. I know you don't believe in surgery. In your opinion what can I do?

Utilize the principles of mental science (visualization) as recorded in "The Mental Science" E-book and wait on Nature for the natural process of healing. Outside of this, surgery is the only option, Beloved!

I love to drink water, but I like to drink hot water you know boiling water slightly cooled. Is there a benefit or disadvantage to this compared to drinking room temperature water? Secondly, the water I drink is boiled water. Alkaline water is not a privilege most Kenyans have. If 56% of the population is living below poverty line you do the math. So the water I drink is tap water, that I boil to make it safe for drinking. When I get to work I have Alkaline water as my work place provides me with that provision. I think this is detailed enough for you to get the picture and help. Once again (I love you) in Swahili for spreading the gospel!

No difference at all, Beloved! Even the boiled water becomes room temperature water. You're doing fine! Thank you for your words as well! Much appreciated! Peace and Love! Read some of our articles on "Drinking Water,".

My biggest concern is how to proceed once pregnancy happens. Getting pregnant isn't my problem it's the getting past week 21. So, how do you feel about cervical cerclage? I have such mixed feelings. I can see the comfort in having it done, but the idea of it terrifies me. My cervix should be able to hold my baby on it's own! I've talked to my local birthing centers and most of them won't touch me, given my history until week 36 when the cerclage would be removed. They have all suggested I have the procedure done. I would like your view on the subject?

Have you read our article on "Surgery"? The first thing you should do is get your mind right. Consider purchasing and reading our "Mental Science Manual" e-book, which helps get your focus right (to focus on what you desire, but also to be present in the NOW). Think positive, maintain a PMA (positive mental attitude), visualize what you desire, eat healthy (raw foods and vegan foods), etc. Take matters one day at a time!

We have a patient on our inpatient unit who has a terminal brain tumor. Do you have suggestions for which herbal treatments would be most helpful?

We'd suggest (if the person is able to perform) a Full Body Cleanse (FBC), followed by a series of 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen (EGCFC). This cleanse (EGCFC) is very safe to take consecutively. His/her (patient's) body should be inundated with green foods, so as to retard tumor growth. Also, increase oxygen intake, as the tumor may impair circulation in the brain area.

Is dry skin brushing safe while breast feeding (especially if I brush in circular around the lymph nodes)? Are ginger baths, or other detoxing, relaxing, salts baths safe? Are body wraps safe?

Dry skin brushing is safe to do while breastfeeding. It helps promote circulation in the body. You can do any kind of natural bath soaks including the ginger or Immune Tea. Unfortunately you can't cleanse while breastfeeding, but there are other ways to detox the body safely. We suggest that you try the Electric Greens Combo and the Pre-Natal Laxative to naturally and safely detox your body while breast feeding.

If one is serious about going natural, should one keep health insurance for diagnostic purposes like blood work or CT scans then take herbs if a disease is found?

That decision is ultimately up to you to make. We cannot advise on medical practices, but we do suggest diagnosing problems before using herbal remedies. Being natural doesn't necessarily mean you are completely disconnected from medical practices, it can also simply imply that you only use natural remedies.

My wife may be expecting, but we discovered your website, and listened to Dherbs radio, it's a very effective message. We would like to detox. Is this a good idea for my wife to participate if she is expecting? Also, she was diagnosed with high cholesterol a couple of years ago, but we believe in self-healing through positive thoughts, and corresponding actions (diet, exercise, etc). Would she be able to further heal with the cholesterol vitamins if she's pregnant?

A great detox to perform for a pregnant woman is the 10-Day Electric Greens Cell Cleanse in which you can also drink our Detox Tea. She can also take our Cholesterol Formula formula for her HC issue while pregnant as well.

I am writing you with concern for my father. He is 54 years old and was just diagnosed with an enlarged heart. He is very worried and to be honest I am too. I told him that he immediately needs to go on the Full Body Cleanse. Start a raw foods diet that includes no meats and no dairy. Do you think he should get a colonic? Should he get it first? He began running this morning and has been walking in the evenings. He has a HUGE stomach. It looks as if he is about 8 months pregnant. SOLID! We live in the Philadelphia Area and we are Muslim. The only person we know that is GOOD as far as colonics is a female, and he has some reservations about that. My mother always says "Do what you gotta do". What steps should he take to heal his body? In what order? I know it may be kind of hard to diagnose, or give steps to a third person. I am really concerned, and afraid that his concern may cause more damage to his heart. I am almost certain that my father would not mind talking to you. He may be impressed with your knowledge. All the herbalist we know thus far have been women. As soon as he told us of his illness I immediately thought of you. I pray that you can help us. We all as a family need to get our health together. PLEASE HELP US the best way you can!

It's the easiest thing to take care of. Detox the body with the Full Body Cleanse followed by the 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen. He will drink Hearty Heart Tea during both cleanses. The man has eaten himself into this condition via poor diet so reversed diet is the way out. More raw foods (fruits and vegetable), vegetable juice.

Is freezing your food bad? Do you know when the best time to eat is? How many times a day should I eat?

Eating too much frozen food is not a good thing to do. Just don't eat a lot of frozen foods. The best times to eat are in the early morning (light meal), and noon time (heaviest meal of the day), finally a light meal constituting dinner. You can eat three meals a day. The lighter the meals the better.
