I take issue with your remark that "women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men." Part of me is not surprised--men make comments like this all the time. I chalk it up to ignorance, as men enjoy living their entire lives not having to endure periods, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and lord knows what else. So because a woman does not want to have children--at all, or at a particular time in her life--she wants to be a man?! That's an illogical conclusion you are making. So why are there pregnant women with cancer, some of which who have never taken BC pills? Are women entitled to making any sort of control over their reproductive health? What about women who are infertile, naturally? If they develop cancer, is it because they never gave birth to a child? Are you willing to support all of the children that will result from women not being on Birth Control, since many people cannot afford several children on their incomes? This line of reasoning makes some women think that men really need to get over themselves. I think you have been reading too much Freud. Some women, present company included, appreciate our femininity and everything that encompasses being a woman. At the same time, this is not the dark ages--and even then, women chose not to have children during different times in their lives. Surely you are aware that in non-Western countries women utilize natural herbs to control their reproduction or as abortifacients? I am not advocating abortion; my point is that if you are going to criticize women taking BC pills, you may as well extend this criticism to women naturally preventing pregnancy via alternative means.

Birth control pills play a big role in female reproductive cancers. Women would be wise to just accept the fact that they are female by nature and God made them to have (deliver) babies and they should stop trying to compete with and be like men. In attempting to stop or prevent life (birth control), they are ending up losing their very own lives. And the birth control pills cause cancer in areas of the body that denote femininity (breasts, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus and vagina). This is a form of language here. You have disease and female organ(s) which basically means your disease is specifically related to an issue of femaleness or femininity, that's why the disease manifests in these "female" organs. In attempting to be like and compete with males, females compromise their feminine integrity and goddess nature which "eats them up" (anger, frustration, sadness, etc.) inside. When the cancer appears in any female organ, it serves as a sign or sensor that the problem lies on a deeper metaphysical level pertaining to emotions, thoughts and attitude."

I have bought most of your e-books and recording and just want to tell you how enlightening all the material has been. While reading, the mental science book you talked about a poverty conscious mindset and how many leaders of spiritual movements such as Christianity and Nation of Islam used manipulation to keep their followers in bondage. One of the specific things you mentioned was that leaders would tell their followers they have to give their money to the institution even if it was money they had to use to pay the rent mortgage. My question is: how does that differ from a tithe and what do you think about authors, other metaphysical teachings of the principle of giving as a secret to prosperity? I know in Catherine Ponder's books she mentioned that 10 is the number of increase based on ancient teachings and that we should give systematically to demonstrate our faith in an abundance universe. I have also read many authors who say that same things. What is your take on it?

I believe in giving but it must be from the heart. Many people don't give from the heart but from FEAR! Or, they feel compelled to give and this is not giving freely. It's quid pro quo giving meaning "I'm giving because I want something in return" i.e. Recognition, to be or get in good graces with God, etc. I'm covering tithing in my new manual "The Money Manual." Tithing is just 10% of something, not necessarily money. Tithing can be 10% of your food, time, services, etc. Giving is okay but folks should not give to others without first giving to self for charity starts at home. Poor people should not be giving charity in the form of money for if God needs a dollar God is in worse shape than his poor followers. It is the organization asking for the money and doing so in the name of God. They collect money in the name of God and thus exploit people in the name of God.

I received my package yesterday of Nerve-Calming Tea and Sixth Chakra. My 8 year old son does not like tea. Is there anything else he can use besides the tea? I got this because of your article on ADHD. My next question is I gave him the drops of the Sixth Chakra this morning, is the morning OK to give him this?

Yes, the elixir is okay to give him or anybody! Have you tried sweetening the tea with maple sugar or another natural sweetener?

I currently have many skin problems. I first started having body rash and eczema around my lips. When the skin gets dry, it hurts, and I've been trying to moisturize the skin with using all natural Burt's Bees and/or Hugo natural lotion, cream or oil. I tried sea salt soak and been taking Sen-Fen, Blood formula, Immune support, Anti-Viral, but it's not working and the symptoms haven't gotten better at all. My entire body is really itchy from rash, so I haven't been able to sleep well for the past 2-3 weeks. If you have any suggestions for life style, special drinks and foods or products I can use, please let me know asap!

Greetings! You skin problems are explained in the article "Skin Disorder = Blood Disorder" which I suggest you read. (visit articles section). When there's no physical healing, check the mind. Check out the NEW Mental Science Manual and there is a chapter in there on using the mind to heal. Basically you are focusing too much on the problem and not the solution which is optimal health and well-being. You are telling yourself how you don't want these problems and by saying this subconsciously, you are keeping the problems. Have your permanently switched or changed your diet? If not, what are you waiting for? Your blood is begging to be purified. Herbs alone won't get the job done. Let go of worrying about the problem. Focus on enjoying life, getting back in balance and you will begin to heal! Check some of our articles on "Eczema".

I have used a product similar to your Bowel Motion which has both senna leaf and cascara sagrada as ingredients. Recently I had a colonoscopy and the gastroenterologist found staining from these ingredients. He also told me that if I continued to use them that they would have a reverse effect, making my minimal peristaltic action stop completely. What is your thoughts on my continued use of these products? Are there any herbs that would strengthen my peristaltic action, making it work on its own?

It is not true about the herbs. Plants are not like drugs! These herbs will not stain anything in your body. They are organic plants. Doctors are one half of all problems for giving people wrong information, usually in which people will believe or start thinking about. Stick with herbs for your healing. Try our Colon & Digestive Tract and/or Bowel Motion and change your diet and you will be fine. Try nature!

My son has been evaluated as having both ADHD and ADD. My son is eleven years old and can be very hyper at times. The doctors have experimented with ever kind of drug and they usually have him so zoned out he can't focus. He has a learning disability in reading (in the 6th grade on a 3rd grade level). Do you have anything to help him and also make him focus? I would love to see some improvements! I would like to see grades go up and behavior changes. Please help me if you can! Also, I see the same symptoms in my six year old. Please inform me! Thanks in advance!

It's not the children but the outdated educational paradigms. The children are not the problem so why are we fixing what is not broken? Your children need stimulating things for their minds. They are perhaps Light children who have come here to do powerful things (healing, raising consciousness) and now they are trapped in the public fool system. Consider a consultation, Beloved! Drugging light beings is not the solution. But properly feeding their minds is! Peace and Love! Please read "ADD and ADHD".

I have tried to sweeten the tea, but he does not like tea at all. Is the elixir OK to mix in juice? I may have to set up a consultation. When it comes to the ADHD thing, he gets very frustrated and angry, because of something he is just not understanding in school.

If he doesn't like the tea, he just doesn't like it. Don't force it on him. Yes, the elixir can be taken with juice. Let's talk about his situation sometime. I'm creating a new article on ADD at present which should be out soon!

I am involved in a workout regimen and wanted to know if you recommend anything for after workout muscle recovery to maintain intensity without increased soreness?

I would recommend MSM Sulfur to help undo all damage due to working out.

What's the best type of aloe vera juice to drink? Also I have heard that the gel from the plant can be mixed into a smoothie, is that true? Thanks for all of the information which is very beneficial I must say.

Greetings! As far as the best brand I really wouldn't know as there are a few good brands on the market. Just make sure your aloe vera juice is at 99% pure and with no additives. Aloe gel can be added to a fruit smoothie though I personally wouldn't add it to a fruit smoothie.

I had myself fixed (vasectomy) about 9 years ago so as not to have any more kids. Now my wife and I want to have kids together, are there any herbs that can correct this problem?

Unfortunately, no herbs can correct a medical procedure.

I'm sooo excited right now. Today was my first time visiting the local herb shop. The sister there gave me an eye reading, that was sooo amazing. I asked her how could I learn and she said that I would need to go to California. So I plan to come and visit your shop too if the FATHER is willing... Oh yes, another thing, have you heard of a herb called "Silver Shield"? She recommended it for my daughters eczema. She said that it will cure it!!!!

Great to hear, Beloved! I feel your excitement. Iridology is an awesome science. California is also an awesome place to visit, especially if you are health conscious. Silver Shield may be a common name of a particular plant so I would need to know the botanical name. Peace and Love!

Is it mandatory to take the anti viral baths?

It's not mandatory to take the anti-viral baths, but it does help enhance ridding your body of viruses through soaks. The bath drops are included in the anti-viral regimen because it is an added benefit in the healing process. Bath soaks allow the herbal oils to seep into your pores helping your body draw out the virus.

Can you eat trail mix with raisins & nuts mixed together?

You can consume trail mix with nuts and raisins, just be sure that it is 100% natural and/or organic. A lot of the trail mix on the shelves of stores today are salted, roasted or contain preservatives. It's best to ensure that you're eating a product that is within the diet of the cleanse.

Can I continue to take my organic hemp protein?

You can consume organically natural hemp protein while on the cleanses, however we prefer to let the herbs work on it's own. A lot of people feel like they need an additional amount of protein while on the cleanse, but the best source of protein is within the foods we consume.

I have two large bumps in my pubic area that my doctor said it's from an infection of my hair follicles caused by my squeezing and picking of ingrown hairs. The bumps sometimes get swollen and irritated and sometimes allow puss to be extracted. I had the problem 3 months prior to seeing a doctor. He wants me to take antibiotics and I don't want too but the problem is not healing by itself. What do you suggest? (I've recently used your Full Body Cleanse and Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen and currently uses your Iron Phosphate formula and Thyroid Aid formula). Thank you for your help!

You could simply stop picking at the hairs and also stop worrying about it. It's a prime case of cause and effect! It's ready to heal. Just stop doing the action that leads to the result! You might want to read my article on "Dangers of Anti-Biotics". Those things are useless.
