 This herb, native to Brazil, has long been used to improve libido and sexual function. Although Muira puama's mechanism of action is unknown, its effectiveness in erectile function may be related to enhancing self-esteem. In one study of 262 patients, 1 to 2 grams of Muira puama extract produced a significant response in at least 50 percent of the subjects. Muira puama is often placed in various male formulas in low dosage. These nutritional support systems can usually be found in health food stores.)

 If my own relatives never take a single herb in their lives and they die one by one from a disease because they don't believe in natural healing, this is OK. I still love them so very much, and who they are is always OK with me.

| The worse thing that happens if someone overdoses on an herb is that he vomits - I would take that any day over liver or kidney damage.
I saw many patients, and we were supposed to keep scheduling their patients for follow-up visits so that we could track their disease. They would come in so fatigued and so chronically ill, I sometimes wondered, how does a person deal with a chronic disease for so many years? I saw one lady with heart disease who had repeated lapses of congestive heart failure with chronic swelling of her legs and ankles, and she didn't complain one time. |
| You really should try this herb, this supplement, this IV vitamin therapy, this particular mineral, etc." Yes, even the "natural" advice would come. I tried not to get annoyed. I know everyone really just wanted to help in my dme of trouble, but there were too opinions to process all of them. I had to focus my mind. I had to trust my doctor inside and do the one thing I knew was right.
Even my parents didn't know what was going on undl I finally told them, years later. I had to be the only priority if I wanted to make it. |

 When the actual herb is smoked, the THC is absorbed much quicker and more reliably, so patients can learn to adjust their dosage effectively, controlling the amount that reaches the blood and the brain.
Most patients strongly prefer smoked marijuana to oral Marinol, which they say makes them anxious and uncomfortable. There are substances in marijuana smoke, such as cannabidiol, that are not contained in Marinol, and that reduce the anxiety that can be produced by THC alone. |

 B6 and Milk Thistle
You may also want to consider taking vitamin B6 and the herb milk thistle. Both will help the liver break down and dispose of excess estrogen, says Dr. Brett. Studies have shown that when you supplement with B vitamins, you also help relieve other ailments associated with having too much estrogen, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Try taking 50 milligrams of vitamin B6 twice a day, says Dr. Silbert. Because some women's bodies have trouble metabolizing this vitamin in its standard form, she recommends taking pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P). |

 Afterwards, a mutual friend of ours, Irvin "Herb" Markovitz has me over to his Cinema Park Super Health Foods store for a couple of hours to do book autographs and answer customers' health questions.
The last time such an event took place, over 200 people lined up outside to buy my books and get a chance to visit with me.

Elderberry. The juice is good for swollen tonsils and internal swelling of different glands such as the lymph nodes. It is particularly useful to give to children suffering from measles, mumps, and chickenpox. It helps to reduce fevers and eases earache when a few drops of the very warm juice are put into the ear canal with an eye-dropper. As a wash for the skin, the juice is unsurpassed in dealing with eczema, psoriasis, and poison ivy/oak rash. |
| There is something unique in the licorice-like flavor and taste of this remarkable herb that calms the mind and soothes the conscience. The two principal constituents are anethole (50-60%) and fenchone (18-22%). Anethole is also the chief constituent in anise. When the human senses of smell and taste come into contact with these two principals, a chemical reaction takes place in the limbic portion of the brain— that area known as the "pleasure center" of the mind. |

| Much of the selection of the cultivated varieties was made possibly during the 15th century from a wild, bitter, southern European plant once used as a medicine and as an herb for flavoring purposes. In its wild state, celery is a marsh plant with hollow stalks, but the cultivated varieties have been developed for the firmness of the leafstalks.
Celery varieties are grouped into two types, the yellow and the green. The yellow or self-blanching type is represented by a golden or white plume and by easy blanching. The green type is represented by Golden Crisp and Giant Pascal. |

 He experimented with this herb, devised more efficient methods to extract the active ingredients, and discovered that it possessed amazing antiseptic and healing properties. It was this extract that was used to save the lives of his patients during the epidemic of 1918.
Thus Dr. Krebs, Sr., in 1918 was the first to introduce and use an antibiotic in scientific medicine. At that time, however, even the claim for the possibility of an antibiotic or "internal germicide" that would kill bacteria without harming the body was considered preposterous. |
