I have a child diagnosed with sickle cell. How can I get help from you?? She is 7 months.

Read our "Sickle Cell" article and consider scheduling a phone consultation which you'll really benefit from. There's so many measures you need to know about to make sure the child has a smooth existence and not succumb to that which is unnecessary.

In a magazine called New Life Yoga, it questions if Melatonin is the closest thing to a cure all. It also states that our bodies synthesize it but not in a large quantity if you are a night worker (such as myself). Since it is synthesized highly at night. Being recently diagnosed with cervical cancer do you think I should discuss this with a alternative Dr., because I'm sure that the MD still wants to go ahead and start treatments (radiation and chemo). What is your take on this supplement?

Don't put all of your hope into a product (i.e. Melatonin) that your body naturally produces. Please read our free health information, especially the article on "CANCER: Causes and Remedies" and "Why Women Are So Sick". I'd suggest you begin to detoxify your body (see Full Body Cleanse and The Female Cleanse on our site). Please read the article on "The Dangers of Chemotherapy" as well. Chemo is no joke and will greatly harm the body. God did not make the body with petroleum (chemotherapy). The body is organic and needs organic nutrition to heal from disease. You can heal with the RIGHT information, Beloved. But in the end, it's your choice!

I am 27 years old, 5'7", 125 lbs. I'm in good health; I haven't had any major health problems. The only health complaint I have is horrible menstrual cycles. After coming upon your website, I've decided to make major dietary changes. I've also decided to do The Female Cleanse, and I've also ordered the maintenance herbs you've suggested for after the cleanse. I'd like to begin doing The Female Cleanse and the Full Body Cleanse regularly according to the seasons. I didn't order both at the same time due to financial reasons. My plan is to do The Female Cleanse at the start of fall...the Full Body Cleanse at the start of winter...then again the woman's cleanse at the start of spring...and the Full Body Cleanse at the start of summer. Is this a good plan? Or is there a more beneficial way for me to get the results I want?

It's a great plan and you'll love these cleanses and your body will thank you (and you can kiss those menstrual problems away as well). Thank you for your interest in Dherbs.com!

Do you have a product that will help me to quit smoking?

Products can help but the issue of smoking is "discipline." Only then you can stop smoking. I would suggest you perform the Full Body Cleanse for starters and then give our new Substance Cleanse a try.

Is there any health benefit in high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)?

There aren't any benefits in consuming high fructose corn syrup. Because its an artificial food it's not good for the body. You cannot gain health benefits from foods that are not natural.

I am taking the Full Body Cleanse. I am working 3rd shift tonight. I am trying to avoid coffee. Please give me a healthy alternative to stay awake. Also is there something herbal I can take to help me calm down to sleep during the day?

The best way to provide your body with more energy would be to consume foods that have a rich source of energy. Foods that naturally provide the body with energy include banana, spinach, citrus fruits like grapefruits and oranges, apples, almonds and lemons. Green Tea and Yerba Mate tea is also a good source of energy. Camomille or Kava Kava tea can help calm you when you're ready for bed. If your schedule constantly flucuates, you might be interested in the Energy Formula.

I have a serious problem eliminating waste from my body. My bowels do not move naturally. I have to take something to get any movement. Recently, I visited with a Chinese Herbalist who informed me that I "had" a weak spleen. I began taking Four Gentlemen Teapils along with Yin Chi female performance for energy and smooth move cap. My energy improved tremendously but the bowel movements were minimal. On my next visit he took me off of the Four Gentlemen and put me on Gui Pi Wan Teapils and a detox. I'm not real sure about the contents of the detox caps but my bowels did move a bit more but still not on their own when I finished the detox. Now I am at the point where I feel good still with some bloating in my upper abdomen, very uncomfortable. I would like to work with someone who can help me to understand how to heal my body. Thus, my husband mentioned your name a couple of months ago. He heard about you on a radio show. And, I have a 10-year old daughter who's body is preparing for menstruation. She complains about mild stomach aches more like cramps and some headaches during certain times of the month. I want to know what I can do to assist her body as it transitions into young woman hood. I am thinking of your Full Body Cleanse first. I would love to maybe speak with you and put myself on the best path possible. Thank you.

Give your daughter Menstrual Cycle Formula and Female Hormonal (1-2 capsules daily). And/or drink 1 cup of Female Health Tea daily.

1. Please tell me if the following products in your website can be taken by pregnant women: folic acid, iron phosphate, bioflavonoid formula, Iodine Phosphate, multi vitamins and minerals, Vitamin C formula, b-vitamin complex, Iron Tea? 2. I want to buy all the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.) that I need for my baby (I'm 3 months pregnant). If I buy the multi vitamins and minerals, do I need to supplement any additional products that I mentioned above (esp. Folic acid, vitamin c, iron, b-vitamin complex)? 3. I also want to buy Eklampein formula, Prenatal Laxative, prenatal formula, Healthy Pregnancy, and prenatal tea. Since I can't buy all the products that I mentioned in this email; I need your help to buy less. Because the ones that I will buy; I will buy enough to last me about 5/6 months (so I will still be buying so many from you even if I buy 3 or 4 different products). I don't have enough money; please work with me and tell me which ones I need for complete prenatal care and since I will be buying too many; please give me discount (so I can afford it and take good care of myself and my baby in the same time).

Folic acid, iron phosphate, bioflavonoid formula, Iodine Phosphate, multi vitamins and minerals, Vitamin C formula, B-Vitamin Complex, Iron Tea can all be taken by a pregnant woman. You could delete bioflavonoid and B-Vitamin Complex though and still get necessary nutrition for your pregnancy. And yes, Dherbs.com will give you a nice discount on a large order. Now here's what I would personally suggest for a great pre-natal regimen: Pre-Natal Formula, Electric Greens Combo, Vitamin C formula, Iodine Phosphate, Folic Acid, Iron Phosphate formula, Pre-Natal Tea, Prenatal Laxative (optional).

I have been diagnosed with cervical cancer as of 4/01/08. I was referred to an herbalist that basically gave me blood, kidney, colon, essaic, and super antioxidant cleansers. I went to back to the Doctor today and he says that the tumor looks like it has grown and treatments (chemo and radiation) should commence soon as he gets the results of the P.E.T. Scan and MIR. Does your company have experience in this area, and if so can you prescribe anything for me? I have appointments for the next 4 weeks with several doctors. I would like by the time 4 weeks is up that you could recommend a product that would shrink the tumor. I look forward to your response.

Just know that tumors take time to heal naturally. Chemo and radiation will undoubtedly do you in (cause grave harm to you - guaranteed), so no matter how long it takes to heal, the natural route is the best route to go. Perform the Full Body Cleanse and then take 5 capsules of Electric Greens Combo 5 times per day and eat only raw foods and vegan foods. Diet change is key!

I have purchased and started your Full Body Cleanse (FBC) but I need your advice. I'm a so-called diabetic, I'm not overweight 5'9" 140lbs. I've read many of your articles including the one titled "Can I take my medication with FBC?" The first day I started the detox, I didn't take my meds and all I ate was fruits and veggies but my blood sugar was higher than it had been in a long time...356 to be exact. So I stopped and started this week, while taking my meds and it's still been higher than normal...in the 200's range. I understand that you stated that the herbs would be working against the meds since they're considered poisons in the body. My concern is this, I want to continue to cleanse my body but I don't want my blood sugar to stay out of control for an extended period of time...for obvious reasons. My question is, what do you suggest I do in continuing this cleanse? Will the FBC regulate my blood sugar levels over the next 2 weeks as my body begins to repair itself? Or should I continue taking my meds until I'm done with the cleanse? I plan to do the pancreas cleanse next. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Peace!

Like we clearly and unequivocally explain in so many of our articles, the body is and will regulate itself and you will see this via fluctuation. Levels will be up and down and inconsistent. Your body is going to heal in its own way so if you are concerned about high levels for extended periods of time, you may want to take your meds and refrain from taking the herbs until your levels reach a level you feel safe with. You know, religion is not the only thing that requires faith. Healing requires faith too!

I just ordered your Full Body Cleanse (FBC) for both my husband and myself. Last week my OB called (on my birthday no less) to inform me that my recent pap showed abnormal cell activity with cervical dysplasia and possible adenocarcinoma in situ. My pap a year ago was normal but I was HPV positive. Since her call I've been eating a high raw diet, doing castor oil packs, drinking an herbal tea blend, meditating, visualization, taking protease herbs, working on releasing old negative emotions and taking sitz baths with a strong calendula tea blend. My colonoscopy to examine the cells further is later today. I know all that I am doing is helping and that I am healing. My question is: once I complete the FBC I'd like to also do your Uterus Formula cleanse. Will this cleanse also help with the cervical dysplasia and adenocarcinoma in situ? Thank you for all that you do. I am glad to have found your site last year, and have shared it with loved ones. Continued success.

Yes, Uterus Cleanse will help with any and all female complaints including yours. You are doing some very beneficial things. Here's a great secret: do all that you are doing now to combat disease just on the strength as preventive measures and your life will forever be smooth. Guaranteed! Do the things you do to combat disease as part of a daily life regimen and you'll never have to worry about major disease. Be well and continue to heal. Also, very glad you discovered Dherbs.com!

I looked at the Full Body Cleanse it states that you can lose approx 10-50 lbs, I have lost about 25 lbs from April to present I really do not want to lose anymore. Will I lose any more according to this detox program? I really did not want to lose anymore and actually look sick.

Losing 10-50 pounds is a general statement. Doesn't mean you're going to lose 50 pounds. It only means you stand to lose or release between 10 and 50 pounds. Please read "When Will I See Results After Taking The Herbs?", "I’m Thin! Will I Lose Excess Weight During the Detox?", "Why Am I Not Losing Weight?".

Do you have any suggestions for a breakfast, lunch & dinner schedule? I'm making the transition to a healthier diet due to fibroid tumors. Currently I have broken my eating menu into 3 parts, breakfast - fruits, lunch - salads, & dinner - baked potato or any other heavy meal I intend to eat. Is this a good start? Any suggestions you can give on healthier meals for dinner are most appreciated.

Please purchase our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook) for the alternatives you seek. It's a great little resource, especially for new people starting their transition diet. You off to a good start, Beloved!
