| The formulas include cleansing herbs, amino acids, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and five kinds of fiber. Both formulas are taken in the morning and evening, in gradually increasing dosages, for several weeks. These formulas target not only the bowel, but also the liver, lungs, skin, and lymph. At the end of the program, a person should be having two to three bowel movements every day. |
| Colon Cleansing Programs
There are two basic approaches to colon cleansing: taking herbs and supplements and internally bathing the colon via enemas or colonic irrigation. Colon cleansing supplements can work quite well, but those with a more toxic colon might benefit from combining the two approaches.
Colon Cleansing Formulas
Increased interest in colon health has led to a surge in the development of colon cleansing formulas and supplement programs. Most of these programs utilize a cleansing supplement in addition to recommending a basic dietary program. |

Step 3: Reset Your Body Clock
The body clock and circadian rhythms primarily determine our sleep-wake patterns. When these functions are thrown off course—by factors both in and out of our control—sleep problems ensue. Sleep onset insomnia, advanced and delayed sleep phase syndromes, and even REM behavior disorder can be caused by disrupted circadian rhythms and melatonin imbalances. |
| Alternatively, infuse herbal essences into the water using a muslin bag or tea ball; beneficial herbs include chamomile, linden flowers, and lavender. photosensitivity. Researchers have found that 3 hours of light therapy (2,500 to 3,000 lux) accompanied by intravenous vitamin B12 (5 to 6 mg daily) reset the circadian rhythms of melatonin secretion and was effective in resolving delayed sleep phase syndromes and other sleep-wake disturbances.53
Generally, it takes about 14 days of light therapy to see if you're getting benefits. |

 People were taking their herbs and got well for a while, until the illness showed up in another way. Nothing was really changing, especially not consciousness. It was then I began to investigate how to go beyond symptomatic treatment to source-level treatment, a way of working that shifts consciousness so true healing can take place. This required I look beyond the physical properties of the plant to see if healing could occur at deeper levels. Never doubting my abilities to communicate with them, I went directly to the plants to find out how they could assist me. |

 I knew that when we reached Luna Nueva, I'd be introduced to the science of these rain forest herbs and the Zyflamend formula, and I hoped it lived up to my expectations. I told everybody about my ankle. "Here, take some," Hall said, handing me three black, rich-smelling Zyflamend capsules. "This should help."
We moved deeper into the land now, and we were passing through jungle. Occasionally, I followed the contour of long cables down the mountain slopes. |

| Mary Dean Atwood, in her book Spirit Herbs: Native American Healing, shares the relationship plant spirits had with traditional Native American healers: "Plants and foodstuff, considered to have spirit or soul blessed their fellow beings, the humans. The kingdom of plants vibrated and pulsated with living energy and awareness. Considered as powerful as animal and nature spirits, they were accorded respect. Humble requests and prayers given during sacred herb sacraments impressed the plant beings and assured cooperation in the future. |

| On the other hand, herbs like turmeric and ginger safely modulate COX-2 but do so without delivering a knockout punch and therefore do not cause blood clumping or stomach problems.
Of course, I know about the widespread and often warranted public doubt and skepticism that surrounds anything natural and purported to be a "cure," especially a dietary supplement masquerading as a medical drug. The 1994 federal Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act specifically prohibits manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements from making claims that the supplements cure disease. |

| Continue by brushing the person's entire body with the bundle of herbs, which you dip constantly in water while praying for the person's healing. You will find that after a spiritual plant bath there is a glow that comes over a person unlike any you may have seen before. (See color plates 8 and 10.)
The third way to take a spiritual plant bath is when there are no fresh plants available but you have water that has had fresh plants soaked in it. |
| I then brushed her body with the herbs after dipping them in spring water, calling upon the plant spirits to attend to the healing that was necessary. When I finished I told Kelly that she need not be afraid because she had the help and protection of these plants with her, and whenever fear came up she could simply call upon them to help her. Kelly went home with the plants and sewed them into a scarf that she wore around her neck. |

 I hope that the market will grow to that place or we started growing some of our own herbs so that the ones we are not able to purchase organically we will be able to grow organically ourselves.
Mike: Well thanks for joining me today. The website is www.GoldenPathAlchemy.com and I have been talking here with Ashley Beckman and Minka Robinson, the co-founders of the company. Be sure to check out their website and their product line. Thanks for joining me today.

| I've recommended for some time, and I recently found a new company from California that takes skin care products to a whole new medicinal level: Their products use herbs from the world of Chinese Medicine to enhance health while nourishing the skin.
The company is called Golden Path Alchemy (www.GoldenPathAlchemy.com), and it's a very small company that still makes everything by hand. I've reviewed their products and highly recommend them to anyone wanting truly healthful skin care products, without all the chemical garbage normally found in many so-called "natural" skin care products. |

 On realizing the powerful effect of thirty days of live food with specific diabetic supplements and herbs on participants' physical and mental states, and on their diabetes in particular, it became clear that we had a program that could be applicable and successful for everyone, as this group was representative of the Western populace. The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program is more powerful than the thirty-day raw approach seen in the film. It includes a minimum seven-day green juice fast in the first week, which greatly accelerates the reversing of the diabetic degenerative physiological process. |

| The things that did not seem to do that were not natural so we had to start creating our own products that would preserve our skin and keep it moist and supple and it is a great way to take herbs. We make herbal elixirs and tonics as well. We wanted another way.
I read a study about how dangerous it is to put chemicals on the skin. It is even more dangerous than taking them internally because it bypasses the hepatic system. The chemicals go directly into the blood stream before they even make it to the liver to be filtered. So it creates a lot of damage in the body. |

| Once we have reached a certain level of repair and have returned to a normal healthy physiology, we do not need to use all these herbs and supplements. We also will move clients from a Phase 1.0 to a Phase 1.5 and often will stop the supplements after people have returned to and sustained a normal physiology for three to six months.

| The rapid reversal of the seven stages is accelerated by green juice fasting and natural supplements (discussed in next chapter) of herbs, minerals, high-protease enzymes, and digestive enzymes with our food to build up the amylase, and liquid zeolite (Natural Cellular Defense, or NCD) when combined with the green juice fasting to help pull out the heavy metals and 65,000 environmental toxins. We have also found that the NCD seemed to help in decreasing the FBS. With this integrated approach the results of the Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program are so rapid and consistent. |

 Formulations can be classified as follows:
• Mutually synergistic: When two or more herbs with similar characteristics are combined to amplify the original effect, the formulation is mutually synergistic. Examples are the combination of Angelica sinensis (dang gui) and ligusticum (chuan xiong), which together promote blood circulation; rhubarb and sodium sulfate, which together promote purgation; and gypsum and anemarrhena, which together reduce fevers and inflammation. |
| They involve combinations of herbs that one never finds together in traditional formulas or they have properties that are directly opposite or antagonistic to each other.
Nineteen antagonisms:
• Sulfur (Hu huang) is antagonistic with Sal glauberis (po xiao).
• Hydrargyrum (shui yin) is antagonistic with arsenicum (pi shuang).
• Radix euphorbiae (lang du) is antagonistic with lithargyrum (mi tuo seng).
• Semen Croton tiglii (ba dou) is antagonistic with Semen pharbitidis (qian niu zi).
• Nitrum (ya xiao) is antagonistic with Rhizoma sparganii (son leng). |

| When consumers purchase nontoxic cosmetics and household cleaning products made from carbon-neutral resources such as herbs, hemp, or corn (instead of fossil raw materials), carbon transfer to the environment is reduced. Using agricultural crops and herbal ingredients as starting points instead of petrochemicals also leads to planting more renewable crops, which store carbon dioxide instead of releasing it to the environment. Since trees and all agricultural crops are carbon sinks, they capture and store carbon. |

 Unlike sleeping pills, herbs won't leave you in a fog in the morning, or feeling like you haven't really slept. Passionflower is an important relaxant herb popular in much of Europe. Other possibilities include pheanine (at 300 milligrams, one of the best relaxants in nature), chamomile tea, hops, skullcap, and valerian root, a natural calmative used by orthomolecular psychiatrists for people who tend to be anxious. |

| Having already studied herbs for three years, with an Englishwoman's love of gardening and a commitment to co-create with Nature, I entered Pam's magical garden with the intent to explore the possibility of creating images that would further my connections to plant spirits. My images in this book were all created during that period of time.
Most of this work has taken place at my home, Sweetwater Sanctuary. I was called here eight years ago by the water and the mountain who have been my mentors. |

 You can punch up the flavor of the olive oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar and/or a sprinkle of black pepper, Italian herbs, or salt. this eating pattern reveals that a predominantly plant-based diet, including small daily investments in certain cholesterol-lowering foods, can improve blood cholesterol levels almost as well as taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. The four key foods include soy protein, almonds, plant sterol-enriched margarines (such as Benecol or Take Control), and soluble fiber (from foods like oats, barley, psyllium, and vegetables like okra and eggplant). |

| Place the herbs in a food processor and pulse until they have a pastelike texture. Add the pine nuts and garlic and pulse again. Add the cheese and pulse until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Now slowly add the olive oil while continuing to pulse and blend it with the ingredients.
Before the oil separates from the rest of the pesto, transfer the pesto with a spatula to the cavities of plastic ice-cube trays. Freeze the pesto overnight; the next day, transfer the cubes to a sealed plastic freezer bag. |

Do liver flush (see next page). If you don't do an immediate liver flush (formula to follow), you must add 2-3 cloves raw garlic to this formula. Note: You can also use Dr. Schulze's Complete Liver/Gall Bladder formula, if you have made any of it in advance.
Otherwise, use milk thistle tea with garlic and the emergency herb bitter aloes, as given on the previous page.
Emergency liver problems are usually gall bladder attacks, colic, or cramping.

| Step Four: Cleansing the Emotions, a fundamental of getting well while we use herbs.
I saw a poll recently in a fashion magazine asking a thousand women what they felt about the size and shape of their breasts and the placement of their nipple.
All thousand women stated that they were dissatisfied with what they saw when they looked in the mirror. Is it any wonder that breast cancer is the number one cancer among women in America?
You can't look in the mirror every day and be disappointed at what you see and expect to be healthy. You cannot hate yourself and expect to be healthy. |

After being in the clinic for twenty years, I know that the area that is sick is blocked.
So now what we have to do is increase the blood flow, the nerve flow, the lymph flow, the chi as the Chinese call it, the ki as the Japanese call it, the pranah or life force as the Indians call it, adrenaline, whatever you want to call it, God's energy through the universe into your body, whatever name you want to put on it, I have to get that flow to the sick area.
And that's where the third step comes in, called circulation. |
| It was also disappointing because I wanted to get deeply into herbs. I wasn't ready for my patients to get well.
Nevertheless, they did— and that reminded me what I was in this for in the first place. My goal was to help my patients heal themselves — not to become another bullshit herbalist.
So the point I'm making here is if anybody is doubting the power of the food program and the bowel cleansing, wake up right now!! |
