The inability to gain weight when eating raw plant foods may also be due to parasitic infections which may cause emaciation. If you suspect that you have a parasitic infection, I recommend that you "burn" them out with daily meals containing one or more of the following: garlic, onions, hot peppers, ginger, papaya seeds and spicy wild greens (wild mustard is excellent). High-quality herbal remedies can be effective against parasites. |

 All of these ingredients can cause irritation that can make acne look worse, although the tingling sensation from this product may convince you it's "working."
© Under-Eye Toning Gel ($35 for 0.34 ounce) has some very good, plant-based soothing agents as well as skin-identical ingredients, but the inclusion of irritating zinc sulfate and lavender oil is a mistake, not to mention the lesser amounts of peppermint, thyme, and eucalyptus. And we're supposed to apply this around the eye? Yikes!

 Companies should not be allowed to sell supplements or herbal remedies that simply don't work. But I also believe that the same logic should be applied to all of medicine. If prescription drugs don't work, shouldn't the consumers get their money back as well? And what about surgical procedures? If a surgeon offers you some procedure to eliminate back pain by fusing your vertebra, and afterwards your back pain is still present, why is it that you don't get your money back from that surgeon? |

 Of course, when it comes to quality control of herbal supplements, it's important to source your herbs and supplements from trusted companies who have stringent quality control standards. For example, if you are buying spirulina from a company that sources it from Cyanotech in Kona, Hawaii, you know that you're getting spirulina without any heavy metals whatsoever, because it's grown in pristine waters pumped up from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, unaffected by modern industrial run-off or other sources of contamination. |

 Soap was often made at home. herbal remedies supplied the alternative for every commercial drug—though there were few before 1861—except quinine. One bad year for the cash crop, cotton, meant some belt tightening; two years could mean discomfort, three years, hardship. Ruin was much farther from the plantation owner in the South than from the Northern merchant or manufacturer or banker. In really bad times the banks would not foreclose, because such action would ruin all the bank's customers.
The informality of money management in the New South also permitted the exercise of clever arbitrage. |

Kevin,
My name is lessica and I have been interested in natural healing and medicine since I was 14 yrs old.
My best friend and I have been practicing alternative medicine for 12 years. I am only 28, but it is so great to finally hear someone publicly speak out about the FDA and other government agencies. |
| They simply lied to the public about the truth about the fact that there is an herbal all-natural way to cure diabetes.
I sent them the information from the New England Journal of Medicine where the American Medical Association was quoted saying that 900,000 people died by taking pharmaceutical drugs. They said that that statement was untrue. The statement is true. I sent them the information. They simply blatantly lied. The question that some of you ask is how come I can't sue ABC News for this misleading fraudulent piece on both Nightline and 20/2O? |

 Is this supposed to be a selling point to compete with Clairol herbal Essences? This conditioning shampoo is a good option for normal to dry hair of any thickness. It contains mostly plant tea, detergent cleansing agents, lather agents, thickener, several conditioning agents, preservatives, and fragrance.
© Moisture Scentsation Conditioner Two-Minute Care for Moisture Starved Hair ($13.99 for 10.1 ounces) is a very good conditioner for normal to dry (but not moisture-starved) hair. Its main conditioning agents are silicones, accompanied by a standard detangling agent. |

| The German Commission E, the world-famous herbal authority, recommends taking as much as half a teaspoon a day to overcome an upset stomach. Sprinkle it into your own stir fries or have a curry dish when you dine at an Asian restaurant. Turmeric is a big part of curry sauces.
Soothe your stomach with peppermint. A folk medicine backed by modern research, peppermint packs a one-two punch against stomach sickness. Like all of the plants in Sherman's study, peppermint kills bacteria. On top of that, it calms the muscles of your digestive tract. |

 It's probably my second-favorite sweetener of choice right after stevia, an herbal sweetener. This company couldn't put stevia in a food bar, because the FDA continues to outlaw the use of stevia in foods. There's a whole article on that subject and how the FDA is actually protecting the market for artificial chemical sweeteners by enforcing current regulations that don't allow food manufacturers to use stevia. Companies can use stevia in nutritional supplement products, because they aren't foods, but that's a different story. |

| Today there are offered chamomile, linden flowers, comfrey, and many other herbal teas, yet there is no evidence that any of them, including mint tea, was ever widely drunk. Mint was only used in Moslem countries, where alcohol was not permissible, or by people who had acquired the habit from Arabs. So why did tea become so popular in Europe?
The reason must be that all successful hot nonalcoholic drinks contain socially acceptable stimulating drugs. Without them, they are no more effective than hot water. |

 Whoever tries to sell you medical, pseudo-medical, herbal, or any 'alternative' treatment for ADHD is attempting fraud, no matter if they try to con you into a drug or a diet. In all, the linchpin of the fraud is the 'Chinese menu' of brain disorders/diseases/chemical imbalances. Buy any one of them for yourself or your child and they own you, in a very real, frightening sense. |

| A new form of slavery had been developed; there was a dependency upon coca leaves to which the addicts (already near-slaves in a different, tradirional sense) were made slaves a second time—to herbal drugs without which they could not work at a profit to their masters.
It may be illogical to call the Amerindian mineworkers "slaves" to coca leaves when the use of the same leaves had supported the Incan and pre-Incan elite for at least a thousand years. |
| On the other hand the world of medicine was limited to herbal remedies, little use being made of surgery or compound drugs. Mathematics was unknown in terms of algebra or geometry. Astrology was known, but not astronomy, and the Japanese could not construct a calendar without Dutch or Chinese help. They disputed with the Chinese the invention of printing, but the art was more advanced than in Europe, and they could print in full color. |

 Most Americans, when they were sick, consulted herbal practitioners. These empirical healers had no formal training but apprenticed mainly with other herbalists. Some of the herbalists were midwives, and others were men and women who had experimented with herbs and were known for their abilities to heal the sick. Lay healers were distributed throughout the countryside. They seldom relied on healing for their entire support and charged little for their services. |

How come we are not hearing the stories of the millions of people throughout South America who are using plants and traditional Amazon medicine and curing their diseases without any pharmaceutical drugs or surgery? Again, there absolutely is a place for drugs and surgery. |

The whole eat an abundance of whole, fresh, natural foods
.. .and little to no processed foods.
At first glance this guideline seems easy enough. However, as mentioned earlier, in our contemporary urbanized culture most people have become disconnected from the source of their food, which has resulted in a great lack of knowledge about what they're ingesting. |

When it comes to trans fats and cancer, the links are well documented and widely known in the scientific community. They are hardly known at all by the general public, however, and there is no public education campaign that seeks to warn consumers about the cancer risk of consuming hydrogenated oils.

Supplementing with magnesium would help your body absorb more supplementary calcium, and increased exposure to healthy, natural sunlight would increase vitamin D stores, but even then, there are far better places to get calcium. Namely: whole food complexes and superfoods like chlorella and spirulina. Plant sources of calcium are clearly your best choice:

| Coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, many soft drinks, diet pills, aspirin, various analgesics used for migraine headache and vascular pain, and even some herbal preparations contain either caffeine or very closely related substances. Examples of such caffeine-like substances are theobromine in chocolate and cocoa and theophylline in tea. When caffeine and similar compounds are taken in excess, any of several symptoms usually result: anxiety and nervousness, insomnia or light sleep patterns, various types of heart disease, stomach and intestinal maladies, and moodiness. |

 Aside from all of this, the FDA also has a rather lengthy history of suppressing alternative medicines such as herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, vitamins, homeopathy and other modalities that are not under the control of the pharmaceutical industry. This is something that has not received much public attention, but which may receive attention in the years ahead as the true criminal behavior of the FDA begins to unravel and be made public. |

| I eventually stopped the medication and went on herbal digestive enzymes to help me with the digestion of my food. This helped to an extent, about the same as the expensive medication, but I was still tired, overweight, sick, and not very happy about having to take a tablet before every meal I ate.

Lunch and dinner may be switched, but remember not to have either starch or protein more than once a day. In other words, if you have a potato for lunch, you should not have rice for supper, and if you had nuts for lunch you should not have fish for supper. Try not to eat after 8 p.m. but if you need to snack after supper, any raw vegetable is suitable. |
