I was most impressed by your website. The information to support your products and your obvious interest in informing the public caught and kept my attention. As I searched further into Black Seed Tea, the reason for my visit, I noticed your product No Alcohol Formula. The comment of "on the metaphysical level, alcohol consumption also impairs the human aura" although very non clinical, is very much my way of thinking, it got my attention. I read as far as the disclaimer, "the formula does not have the power to prevent consumption of alcohol as only will power and a made up mind can do this." Here's where I step out of character and find myself writing this e-mail. It has been my experience while working with people from all walks of life, who are members of any 12 step program, that a reference to will power as a prevention of anything is a two edged sword. While I agree will power is important in abstention, I believe the person is benefited by using their personal will power to seek help, to commit to recovery, to take care of the physical, mental and emotional bodies. I don't believe "human" will power is the power that prevents consumption. The suggestion that "will power and a made up mind can prevent consumption of alcohol" to a person with an addiction could become a deadly idea. This of course is my opinion, do with it what you feel is appropriate.

I feel you in where you're coming from, but I truly believe and know human willpower plays a role in prevention and healing of all disease. The strongest thing humans have is a will. Will meshes with desire in many cases. Both are strong in humans. Now, you're dealing with a person with addiction in regards to your last statement and I can totally understand where you are coming from but the sick person is not exempt from any laws of healing. There is no real or true healing absent willpower to do a thing, a beneficial thing. The addicted person must be first dealt with on the physical and psychological levels and then the spiritual and energetic (getting to the root of the addiction: perhaps a 2nd chakra problem or something hanging over from a past life). All addiction points to spiritual void and therefore the only ultimate healing here is mental or spiritual via mental. As you know, it's mind-body-spirit and all must be dealt with for healing. Will is important in abstention but we don't won't people to focus on abstaining which is usually converted into "can't have" by the addicted person. We want people to only focus on the good, the healthy, what they need and require, not what they don't want or can't have because their subconscious mind will create the situations and circumstances by which these people end up consuming the thing that is insalubrious for them. It never fails. I grew up with an alcoholic mother and plenty of other alcoholics. We want people to have and use willpower to GO FOR the best things for them, will in DOING the right and healthy things for themselves. All healing is ultimately within self. As a man thicket so is he! Peace be unto you fellow metaphysician!

I work in NYC's underground subway system and am exposed to a multitude of airborne metals and a variety of chemicals including coal tar used as a wood preservative. Are there any herbs I can take or foods I can eat specifically to reverse any damage this has assuredly done to my body?

Nothing is better than Activated Charcoal (carbon). Read our article on this substance!

I just ordered this Full Body Cleanse, and should receive it shortly. I am wondering if I am able to drink any alcohol at all on this, such as vodka/soda. This may seem like an odd question, but I do have a couple events to attend to and I need to know this information before I start.

This is answered in the "Frequently Asked Questions" (near end of page) called FAQ For Dummies! Not directed at you personally - just the name of the section (like all the books out for dummies, i.e. Microsoft For Dummies).

What would you suggest in repairing gum tissue? The gum tissue was abraded due to heavy handed brushing. I use your herbal tooth powder formula, and have switched to a soft bristled toothbrush, and adhere to healthy eating and thought habits. What else what you recommend?

I would suggest you start gargling every morning and night with herbal tea (red raspberry tea or white oak bark or goldenseal root if you call deal with the taste). Swoosh in the mouth from side to side for a good 2 minutes. Swooshing with sesame seed oil for 10-20 minutes 2-3 times a week is also good to do for the health of the gums! Please check some of our articles on "Oral Health", "Oral Hygiene", "Oral Care", "Oral Rinse", "DIY Oral Care".

Is it possible to enlarge the penis?

Read the article "Natural Penis Enlargement"!

I am thankful for the information you gave on the moles. This does not answer my questions on the metaphysical meaning of the moles, and maybe I did not ask the question correctly. In your birthmark and white spots article you said that every mark had a meaning. My question was, I wanted to know the meaning of the marks. If you could help me with this I would be ever grateful. I have read many of the articles and they have been a big help. I try to study everything I can about metaphysics. I just started a new job in ophthalmology. I am now starting to study iridology with Dherbs by my side I can't fail.

I don't have the allowable time to write detailed responses, unfortunately (too many inquiries to answer). I save that time for articles. Moles denote things recorded in the etheric blue print that forms the physical body in each new life so clearly the mole denotes a hangover from the past life, i.e. an injury, a cultural mark, being branded, the site of a tumor, etc. An individual must find out the true nature and cause on their own such as undergoing hypnotherapy or past life regression.

I have a friend who's 80 year old mom has been suffering from shingles for many weeks now. She is nauseous and has no appetite. She is losing much weight and strength. There is much concern here, and I want to help. Thanks for your advice.

It would be great to learn of this person's underlying cause which is usually emotional in nature. The best thing to recommend for this person is to begin cleansing their (Full Body Cleanse). However, again, it would really help to find out what's going on in the person's life (affecting his/her emotions). Consultations are available!

I recently had a breast reduction. I would not have done it if it wasn't necessary, but I am small statured and my breast were causing neck and back problems. What I want to ask you is what herbs can I take to help me with the healing process? I plan to do the Full Body Cleanse very soon, I just cannot afford it right now due to the fact that I have been out of work for 2 weeks, so if you have any suggestions for me I would really appreciate the advice. Also I love the articles and everything on this site, please keep the info coming.

The best thing we could recommend for you right now would be the Enzymes Formula which help all recoveries. Use this until you can detox your body. Glad to hear you enjoy our articles. We have more coming.

What are or do you have any remedies for dental like cavity or tooth decay? So what I'm asking is there any place I can got to for service other than going to an regular dental office? Thank you for your time.

I suggest you visit www.dherbs.com and read the article "Beware of Toothpaste and Dental Hygiene Products!" .

I have a good friend of mine who has spondylothesis. It's dealing with the back/ spine of course. I have been singing your praises and I asked him to send you an email. He said he sent it, but I think he put the wrong info in; so I wanted to know if you had heard of this; and if so, what regiment do you recommend? Be blessed!

Honestly I would recommend the person see a chiropractor. Herbal-wise I'd recommend the person detox their body (Full Body Cleanse) and begin to reprogram their spine via thoughts/visualization/mental science. I have a new article on 'Back Problems' coming soon!

I was prescribed Celexa for depression. I am very skeptical about taking it and would like to try a more natural approach. What would you recommend?

It is good you are skeptical about drugs because they don't heal you, only harm you. I would recommend that you consider detoxifying your body (Full Body Cleanse), and if not, then I would suggest you take Nerve Formula and Nerve-Calming Tea and use the Happy Inhaler.

I want to get the detox, however can I still eat fish and turkey products or no? How do I get my kids to eat only fruit & veggies at school? Or is some meat okay?

We don't recommend eating animal flesh during the Full Body Cleanse. For your children, you may have to incorporate vegan meat alternatives for their school lunch while Detoxing otherwise it may be very difficult for them.

Sir, I'm trying to be brave about my situation but because my breast is rock hard and from my nipple to my underarm looks like a tree stump it's very hard to concentrate on anything else. I just don't want to get my breast cut off and I'm just praying that your herbs will help. I started on some herbs when all this started and did not see any changes except for maybe my breast getting worst. I'm not sure if I am asking a question or just merely expressing my feelings and thoughts.

Beloved, where thought goes energy flows. You need to work on controlling your concentration. If not, what you fear will appear. This is law! Herbs will take time to heal just as it took time for the problem to develop and eventually manifest. Patience is required for Nature to do her thing. The herbs will help but true healing is within the mind.

I went to the doctor for x-rays and I found out I have tumors. Is there a way I can get rid of the tumors without surgery?

You can get rid of tumors by constantly Detoxing (every 3-4 months) and radically changing (improving) your diet: vegan and raw foods diet.

I just completed The Female Cleanse but was just diagnosed with HSV and I was wondering can I take the Anti-V Formula and not do the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen? And if so how long do I have to take the Anti-V Formula?

The Anti-V Formula is only a maintenance formula. I'd suggest you perform the Anti-V Cleanse and Regimen.

Today makes day 9 of my Full Body Cleanse (FBC). This morning I have an outbreak on my hand. I have been practicing telling myself I am Healing, but my job is stressful and yesterday I had a stressful day and this morning the outbreak on my right hand. Could this be part of my healing process? Can you suggest what I can do to alleviate the stress at work so this will not block my healing process of herpes? I am following the diet; however I have been kind of burnt out at times on the salads so I at least eat a salad and a bowl of steamed brown rice and frozen green peas that are steamed for 3 min. Is that considered following the diet? I still eat my fruit for breakfast daily, my salad for lunch and steamed broccoli (5min) and for dinner another salad, but for a few days I have eaten the rice and steam green peas. I basically want to know is it alright so if I eat it in the future.

You have to learn to deal with your stress and stop reacting to it. Your subconscious mind is greatly blocked and therefore you have to realize your healing will come very slow. At a deep level you still believe herpes is incurable and your body is giving you this (despite the healing crisis of outbreaks on the hand). Your dietary deviation is understandable and not that bad but if you are tiring of salads opt for other things to eat. We list a few raw foods alternative recipes in our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook) available for download. Check it out!
