I was online searching for some natural treatments for hair growth in Black Men when I came across your article. I must say that I believe it was so on point that I decided not to look any further. I'm 44 years of age and started noticing my hair thinning when about 12 years ago. I was one of those that you wrote about in your article chasing a lifestyle that is no longer an interest to me. I did fall into some bad habits that were not good for my health off and on over the past 15 years or so more off than on. My body type I would describe as athletic. I'm tone, and strong when I exercise regularly. I'm about 150lbs @ 5'11". My diet is mostly vegetables but from time to time I feel I have to eat fish or chicken. Not necessarily prepared in the healthiest way I'm sure. I just got out of one of my "on" spells so to speak. Meaning the drinking of beer and cigarettes. I've been smoking and drinking beer now since September 2006 after not having done anything but live healthy for six years before that. As soon as my wife and I came back to the states and started working and running again these old destructive habits appeared again in my life. I only blame myself though. Right now my hair and skin suffer from the chemical poisoning from the habits that I just mentioned. I am prepared to take your advice about righteous living to heart and start fresh again. Is there a mild remedy that can work with me to stimulate the re-growth of my hair in the spots where it is balding in that classic balding pattern? I am generally very healthy when I doing right and even now rarely get sick. But my sickness manifest in stress and bad habits to numb the pain of having to live this way when don't really want to. I quit the job that I've been working for the past 4 years for that reason and have been blessed to have some time not to grind everyday chasing after money. Now is a crucial time of healing for me, and I must take full advantage of the time. Moderation is in order for whatever you can suggest for me in the way of herbal remedies. I am sure that you can prescribe a simple overall regiment for my overall health based on what I have shared with you with an emphasis on the hair and skin. Again, thank you for writing the article. Call or write. The sooner the better.......Thank You!!

I would say first detox with the Full Body Cleanse and get your diet right CONSISTENTLY! Constantly clean your temple! This is key! Next, perform The Male Cleanse. After this, do a daily regimen of Hair Skin Nails formula, Electric Greens Combo, Khemetian Gold, and MSM Sulfur. Forgive yourself of past self-inflicted harm! Stop worrying about your hair loss. Start visualizing your hair growing back. If you can see it, you will achieve it! The mind is all and problems and remedies begin in the mind! BTW: we offer phone consultations if you're interested.

I am concerned about my wife breast feeding while doing the Full Body Cleanse. I read two previous responses in the Q&A section. One said it was not OK but the other said that "the herbs get into the milk supply in a portion healthy for the baby so that the baby also benefits from the herbs". So is it okay for her to do the detox?

Your wife can breast feed while performing the LIQUID Children Detox (liquid extracts). Capsules version may prove too strong for her body. Please read "Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Detoxing".

I am having trouble achieving a full and complete erection. I have been looking at various sites and I really don't understand why this is happening. I get aroused when I'm with my girlfriend but it seems my penis does not respond to its full potential. I have been having this problem for about 3 months and I am getting very frustrated. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

You might want to go through our articles on our site (under ARTICLES) and read a few of our articles on the male penis and related subjects on Men's Health. You'll find the answers you need there your situation is reversible so don't worry about anything! Just relax! All is well!

I was told by the dr. that I couldn't have kids due to the fact that I had an infection in my tubes a long time ago which destroyed my tubes. He also said my tubes are clogged and that I have endometriosis. Do you recommend that I do the cleanse?

Yes, perform the Full Body Cleanse, followed by The Female Cleanse, followed by the Fibriod Buster Cleanse And Regime. Read some of our articles too, i.e. "Endometriosis". And don't trust some robot-minded doctor to tell you if you can or can't have children. That's YOUR decision and your decision alone to make.

I feel I have lost too much weight. How can I gain it back?

Read the article "What Can I Do To Get Bigger and Gain More Weight?". You'll find it under "Articles". Thank you for inquiring!

I tried "Colonix" cleansing system 1.5 years ago and the results were damaging. I had a bowel movement (BM) which I felt travel down my intestine like it was brillo. The result was a BM surrounded with a thin coating of blood. I was shocked!!! I had always been fairly regular with my BM's 2-3x per day with occasional constipation during PMS time but since that "cleanse" I have been reduced to 1x a day maybe, hard as rocks and I am now a regular user of laxatives(which I do not like at all!!) Aside from that, I have gained 60 pounds and I am having a difficult time losing the weight. Prior to the "cleanse" I had NEVER had a weight problem nor BM problem. I have a regular Dr. whom has stated I have no health issues, just the need to lose this weight. 2nd topic: I had an STD when I was 17 yo (37 now) which damaged my Fallopian tubes. I have had 2 pregnancies 1 prior to and 1 after the STD, the latter resulted in a total abdominal pregnancy and the pregnancy (20 weeks) had to be terminated. I have not been pregnant since. The Dr. removed 1 tube & ovary and stated the remaining tube was damaged. I went on the pill for many years, as not to repeat that experience, and have now been pill free for 2 years, not preventing pregnancy in any way, yet not becoming pregnant. I believe my body can heal itself with the proper natural remedy as I do not trust Western Medicine as a first choice. I have read many of the testimonials and have heard your ad's and believe in your philosophy for better health. I would like to try your products but do not know where to begin. Please help. Thank you!

I think you'll find our 10 Day Colon Cleanser right up your alley, very effective, and very gentle to your system. Please give it a try to help eradicate your constipation. FYI: It is ideal to detox with the Full Body Cleanse first and then the 10 Day Colon Cleanser. There is much healing in store for you! Claim it NOW! Peace and Love!

I purchased both the Full Body Cleanse and the Anti-V Cleanse And Regimen. During week 3 of the Detox, I had a significant herpes breakout on by buttocks. Therefore, I opened the anti-viral kit and started doing the bath with the sea salt and the oil etc, and used it all up with in a week. Maybe I used too much but everything healed up well. Now I am into the first week of the Anti-Viral kit and on day 3 a small breakout started, but I am out of the Oil and roll on. Do you have a suggestion of something else I can put into the bath water besides the sea salt? I have some tea tree oil. I tried to purchase some Melissa oil, but could not find it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use tea tree oil, lavender oil, etc. In your bath water. Add hydrogen peroxide (1 cup) as well. You can oil down with Oxy-Oil after the bath!

My co-workers daughter has allergies. We live in Georgia... And the pollen here is horrible. Her eyes burn really bad.... What do you have for her? She is 8 years old.

Allergies mean DETOX, DETOX, DETOX! Put the child on the Children Detox (liquid extracts) and let her drink African-Carribean Spring Cleanser Tea for 2 weeks (1 cup daily). The pollen is really nature's way of telling folks to get in tune with nature. It's not the allergies or pollen per say, but what is eaten and eaten too much of. Cleanse the body and the allergies will go away! Please read the "Allergies" article.

What do you recommend, my friend is breaking out in scaly spots on his legs, back, arms, and he is constantly scratching, what do you suggest he use for this? He visited his medical doctor and he prescribed Prednisone for 12 days, with a dose of 32 pills, so many per day, it is not to much better. What do you suggest? It has left dark spots all over his body. What can be the problem?

This is a blood condition (toxic blood) and the person needs to detox (Full Body Cleanse) and soak daily for 1 hour in hot water, 2 boxes of sea salt, and hydrogen peroxide. After the cleanse, the person needs to take 5 capsules of Electric Greens Combo six times per day. The person needs to rub Oxy-Oil over their body after bathing! Do this for starters and keep us abreast of the progress.

I am a dialysis patient. I have neuropathy in my feet. It feels like I am walking on rocks and glass. How do I get rid of it? I tried a b-12 supplement. I am on Lyrica. I have also tried your herbs. I would like to know if it is something I am eating or what????? You also told me once not to get a kidney transplant. Why? I do believe in the body healing itself. Are my kidneys too far gone? I have been on dialysis for two years.

You have to be consistent with the herbs. Stay on the Pancreas Cleanse And Regimen until you see and feel results. Don't just do one kit! Read our "Diabetes" article as well! In re diet ... You need to stop eating meat, dairy, refined grains, sugar, salt, cooked foods, processed foods, junk food, etc. You can be helped by you must do the work!

I want to ask if it is recommended to take the Yoni Cleanser and the Anti-V Formula at the same time? If so do I cut the dosage? How long should these be taken for vaginal discharge (daily) and occasional vaginal warts (during menstrual cycle)?

Yes, you can take both formulas simultaneously and NO you don't have to cut the dosage! Please read "How To Take Herbs".

I have been told I have had fibroids about the size of someone 3 months pregnant. I have been told there are two in clusters. They gave me the diameters, but I don't have that information at this time. My OB/GYN has told me he believes it is causing me to be slightly anemic. I have been trying some remedies on my own like more exercise and a change in diet. My primary physician does not recommend surgery she has me taking iron ferrous sulfate supplements twice per day to help with my iron count. It seems to be helping. The only problem I have with taking the iron supplements is that it sometimes causes constipation and I am normally pretty regular. I usually eliminate 2 times per day sometimes 3. My OB/GYN on the other hand keeps pushing for me to having surgery. They had me take BC pills, however I took myself off of them because they made me sick. I took them only for 6 months. I'm 45 and have never taken BC pills ever and I don't want to start now. I've never been pregnant. I flow heavy on my 2nd and 3rd day heavy and after that it is manageable. My cycle has improved however I want to reduce the flow on those days if possible and of course dissolve the fibroid if at all possible. Doctors tell me they won't go away unless removed. I used to be on my cycle for 7 days and 4 of those days were heavy. Now I'm normally on for 4 days and only the 2nd and 3rd day are heavy. I know that as I reach menopause they may shrink in size, however I'm still aways off from that. I eat no red meat however I do eat fish and poultry. I eat a pretty good balance of vegetables and fruits, mostly raw and steamed. I drink lactaid milk. I don't eat much dairy except cheese and eggs occasionally. I do have a weakness, I love potato chips. I know this is not good. I can feel the fibroid get bigger when I eat them. When I stop for a period of time it decreases in size. At least I feel like it does. I'm not a sugar craver, however during the week before my cycle I'll crave sweets. I usually resist. I feel it's my diet that has caused the fibroids as well as every female in my family has had a hysterectomy due to fibroids. I think it is also hereditary as well. Whatever the case I'd like to know what regimen can you put me on that will help me? The goal is to reduce or dissolve the size of the fibroid so it is not affecting my iron level. I'm also starting to see my abdomen get bigger when I've always had a flat stomach. Perhaps this is me just getting older, however I think it's the fibroids. Constant low levels over time can't be good. I hope I have provided you enough information to give me your recommendation. If not please feel free to e-mail me for any additional information you need. I'm looking for a natural cure. Outside of this condition I'm in very good health. No problem with weight, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. I'm pretty athletic and active as well. Please advise. I look forward to your recommendation.

I remember just recently e-mailing you on this inquiry. Your diet MUST CHANGE! Consider full fledged RAW FOODS and VEGAN diet during your healing transition. Lactaid milk is HORRIBLE for you. Did you read our "Fibroid Tumors" article?????? You need to keep on performing Full Body Cleanse followed by Uterus Formula kit and regimen, back to back! Continuously! Detoxing must become a lifestyle for you! For iron, consider Dherbs.com Iron Phosphate formula and Menstrual Cycle Formula. Also, consider a telephone consultation because time is greatly limited in writing back in response to inquiries. There is much healing for you, Beloved!

About two years ago my grandmother purchased an ozone machine and I am wondering if you could answer a question I have about it: How long does the water remain "ozonated" after turning the machine off? Also, what is the most powerful way to reap it's benefits: drinking "ozonated" pure water, taking a bath in it, soaking your feet, directly into your ears, etc?

Water remains ozonated for about 10-15 minutes and dissolves instantly once machine is off. Best ways to consume ozone is drinking it in water and bathing in it. All ways help though! I do them all!

Instead of using fluoride toothpaste what should I use for brushing my teeth?

I have suffered from severe acne on my face and back for the past 8 years. I have tried a lot of things from prescription drugs to natural products and I still break out. I have some other symptoms like vaginal discharge, excessive hair growth and swollen lymph glands in my jaw and neck. Are all of these things related to one another? Please help me! I am 28 yrs and feel that I will look older than I am if I don't find a solution.

You're blood is TOXIC and needs purifying and cleansing! Acne is the result of your skin defecating via the skin because your eliminative channels are not working. Read our articles ("Skin Rash", "Vaginal Odors and Discharges", etc.). Perform the Full Body Cleanse followed by The Female Cleanse, change your diet (raw foods and vegan), soak in hot water, sea salt, and hydrogen peroxide DAILY! All of your problems are connected which is why the total body needs cleansing. Please read the "Acne" article.

My son is 16 and got him detox just 2 days ago. He hasn't started it because he cannot do with school so I told him to wait for vacation and then start because he cannot handle the food diet. Anyway, we are vegetarians, and was wondering if he has bad acne, would just the blood and lymph formula work for now until we start detox to take care of his acne? I also ordered that but thought I will start after the detox and he wants to clear his face sooner and detox with diet is impossible at that age and being in school unless he does not follow the diet? What do you think? Can you let me know? Please thanks.

Just do the Blood & Lymphatic Formula for now until he can Full Body Cleanse and do the diet. Just do what you can do diet-wise given the circumstances. Please read the "Acne" article.
