I purchased the Full Body Cleanse Companion (EBook) booklet and wanted to know if there is a list of starches in the food combining list. The book I downloaded doesn't show a list of preferred starches, or am I over looking a page in the book?

Starches are not on the chart. Most starches are tubers and we don't promote those. Grains are also starchy foods but these too are not listed. Most tubers and grains are not eaten raw so that's why they are not listed.

I am an African American, 70 years old, and in good health and physical condition. I jog/walk 1 1/2 miles 5 days a week, do pushups and sit ups daily. But, I have low bone density, on the following medication: once a month I take 1 capsule of Ergocalciferl 50,000 mg; once a week I take 1 tablet of Alendronate 70mg (Fosamax) a week (same day), and daily one tablet of calcium 500 with Vitamin D, and a multi-vitamin tablet. My questions are: is there a herbal product to replace each: Ergocalciferl, Alendronate, Vitamin D, and what do you recommend for a multi-vitamin purpose and something to boost my energy level? Thanks, I will wait to receive your response!

I would recommend you take Khemetian Gold, Electric Greens Combo, Iron Phosphate formula, and Calcium Formula to replace these products you listed that are harmful to you. All of the above will nourish you with the necessary nutrients your body requires.

Sounds like a problem with the lymphatic system. I recommend Full Body Cleanse and Oral Antiseptic Spray! Gargle 2-3 times a day with warm water and a little sea salt (add salt to water).

I am a 29 year old woman currently living with one functioning kidney. Both kidneys were found to be "swollen" many months ago due to polyps that had formed inside my uterus. These issues were treated and now I'm interested in treating adult acne that has been forming on my cheeks for many years. My nephrologists told me not to take any herbs especially in capsule form because it may affect my kidneys. What is your opinion about taking herbs for people with one functioning kidney (or which article should I refer to)? Is there another alternative to treating acne without taking herbs. I am now greatly increasing my water intake and drinking one cup of unsweetened cranberry juice every day.

If drugs don't hurt one kidney, how in the world could a plant hurt it? Herbs are 1 million times safer than drugs. The choice is yours however to make on taking herbs. We deem them safe. You may be interested in performing the 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen as well as the Face and Body Oil for external application of the acne. Please read our article on a "Acne".

I'm interested in the Multi-Vitamin formula. Can you tell me the actual mineral enzyme content of that product?

Dherbs.com does not deal in numbers as we believe they are used to control people. Nature provides no numbers for minerals simply because they can't be isolated. Plants can only be determined to be rich in nutrients and we use certain plants considered complete foods to comprise our minerals and formulas.

I recently gave birth to a child who may have sickle cell disease. I am interested in purchasing your recommended herbs and would like to know if the herbs are available in a form my son can take considering he is a baby and cannot swallow a pill? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide me with!

Don't focus on sickle cell. Focus on nutrition. Make sure you eat well and the baby will be fine. Make sure you cleanse (especially if the baby breast feeds). Best cleanse for a breast-feeding or non-breast-feeding mom: 10 Day Electric Green Combo Regimen!

My daughter just got over a cold and had to have antibiotics for a sinus infection. This was 3 weeks ago. She has the same thing going on again. She also has asthma. I have ordered the Lung Extract and the Echinacea goldenseal drops which she takes. Do you have any other suggestions to stop her from having this terrible cough & congestion?

Please read our article entitled "Congestion and Coughs" located in our articles section.

What are some natural herbs that I can give my son for hypoglycemia? He gets lightheadedness a lot and has passed out from time to time. He also goes through mood swings, and also eats a lot of starch and sugar which I have tried to regulate but am not always around him to keep him from consuming them. My son is fifteen years old. This has been a big concern for me due to diabetes run in my family.

Please read our article entitled "Hypoglycemia" located in our articles section. Thank you kindly!

What generally is the difference if I were to purchase from Dherbs to get the Activated Charcoal instead of GNC? Also my friend says that he purchased the toothpaste off of Dherbs.

I can assure you we don't sell toothpaste. We never have! We only sell a top-selling herbal tooth powder which I highly recommend. In regards to charcoal, Dherbs is 100% quality. Period! GNC is a corporation and their products are usually cut with additives (fillers, binders, preservatives, etc.) There's no comparison between Dherbs and GNC! Take a chance and find out for yourself!

I read one article that stated she did not have the virus anymore (herpes) because her pap smear was negative; however, the rap smear does not indicate if one has the virus or not, it is the blood test that shows a positive or negative. My question: Do the products eliminate the herpes virus...yes or no?

No! The product or any product we sell does NOT eliminate the virus. For more understanding on herpes, please read the following articles which can be found in our articles section: "Genital Herpes" "Is Gential Herpes Really Curable?" "Woe Is Me I Had A Herpes Outbreak!" "Herpes Outbreak On The Buttocks"

I have read your article on "Calculi: Kidney, Bladder, and Gall Stones". Would the natural remedy you listed in that article also help with salivary stones? I have had problems with this for over twenty years now. I have had one of my submandibular gland removed due to the duct had become blocked and the swelling wouldn't go down. The doctor said that both glands had stones in them but they only removed the one. I still am having problems with the other gland and in constant pain. I have tried a lot of things to try to rid it or to ease the pain. I just want to be rid of the stones, the swelling, and the pain for good without having the gland removed. So again will this work for salivary stones?

You can use the product for salivary stones! GO FOR IT! "Calculi: Kidney, Bladder, and Gall Stones".

My youngest son had a very bright green stool last night and I saw that it means acidic foods that he has eaten... I am kind of just getting the hang of this eating right and haven't been hard on the kids with it... What I want to know is what am I supposed to feed a two year old that won't hurt him? I want him to be healthy.

Feed him food: fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and some grains! Try vegan food options. You can find many entrees at Whole Foods Market!

I have a darken spot on my buttocks from a previous outbreak. Will the ANTI-VIRAL ROLL ON clear up that spot? Or will it go away once the cleansing is completed? Do I have to take the pills in the same order and at the same time each day? Or do I just need to make sure I complete the regimen each day with proper spacing of time?

Only your body knows the answer to your question. Give the Anti-Viral Roll On a try and see for yourself. Just make sure you take the formulas (all of them) before the day is over with. Just take them in intervals (2-3 hour intervals).

I would like to know if The Menstrual Cycle Formula, can be used as birth control, being that it contains both wild yam root and pennyroyal? From my understanding, pennyroyal acts as a contraceptive, just as wild yam root. Please let me know if this correct! Thank you!

Oh no, no no no!!!!!!! These are just 2 ingredients with a host of other ingredients that neutralizes these 2 contraceptives' potency. Menstrual Cycle Formulais NOT a contraceptive. Not at all!

I am going to purchase the Herbal Contraception from your site. Do you recommend pennyroyal for a contraceptive?

Herbal Contraception is more effective than pennyroyal. Know a few ladies who took pennyroyal as birth control and ended up pregnant.

Should black cohosh and other traditionally considered female herbs be consumed by males?

They can be consumed by males. Black cohosh is healthy for the heart!

For the past 6-9 months I have been experiencing periods or flashes of itching, not surface but internal flashes that cause me to scratch. These symptoms come on when I get excited or surprised. I am a dialysis patient and take 2 blood pressure meds & a phos binder. Please help, the Doc's are clueless!!!

Medication has your blood polluted which is affecting your skin, number one. Dialysis and drugs? I don't know if you want mix herbs with drugs, Beloved. A good detoxing (Full Body Cleanse) would do you some good right about now. You have a choice to make! Doctors will remain clueless!
