| Do not skip the Five-Day cleanse and rush to take herbs by themselves.
The Five-Day cleanse isn't just a cleanse; it's a turning point in your health, a transformation.)
The point I want to get across here is that if you are not willing to become a vegetarian and not willing to go out and purchase a juicer and a blender, which are your greatest tools for being well, then forget it, because that is Step One.

BISER: What's dosages for heavy-duty problems?
SCHULZE: Usually, we go all the way up to two dropperfuls (60-70 drops) every hour or every other hour.
If you have tachychardia, or cardiac arrhythmia, you take two dropperfuls of the heart formula every hour, or every half hour. You can take a bottle (35 dropperfuls) a day until that heart is beating normally — or until some serious condition turns around. The big diseases aren't things you fool around with. |

 Spread the herbs on the chicken. Cook the chicken for 3 minutes, then turn the pieces over and cook them for about another 3 minutes. When the chicken is done, it will be firm against the pressure of a spatula or the back of a fork. You can slice it through the center to confirm that it is cooked. Remove the pan from the heat and serve.
Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts (For use in other recipes)
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in half (about 1 pound) 1 tablespoon olive oil
Trim the excess fat and gristle from the chicken. Rinse and pat dry. |

 While the turbaned Indian and the frequent references to opium suggest the exotic, and the 'roots and herbs' hark back to traditional folk remedies around the world, the rest of this advertisement leans on the standard claims of patent medicines in the nineteenth-century west. The small print adds a perhaps inadvertent layer of irony by asserting 'Milford Drug Co., Sole manufacturers and originators of the Hindoo Tobacco Habit Cure': the remedy was as Indian as Indiana.

 In the only controlled trial of CHM for bowel disorders, 116 patients with IBS were randomly assigned to receive traditional CHM with an individualized treatment, a standard formula of twenty herbs used in CHM, or a placebo for fourteen weeks of treatment. Both the herbal treatments were better for IBS symptoms than the placebo, but the individualized CHM was not better than the standard fixed formula.9 This study was well designed and conducted and offers promising results for CHM treatment of IBS, but I would like to see another replication study. |

 For many years, however, most Western scientists had not been interested in hearing about the preventive and medicinal power of any herbs, let alone green tea. All this changed after research began to roll in showing that certain plants do indeed contain powerful health-promoting and even healing substances. This category of substances is known to researchers as phytonutrients.
Perhaps you've already heard about phytonutrients, or know them by another name, such as nutriceuticals, phytochemicals, phytomedicines, or functional food factors. |

 Some of the most common herbs used for the relief of asthma and bronchial conditions are: euphorbia, lobelia, garlic, eucalyptus, coltsfoot, senega, vervain, aloe, echinacea, hyssop, horehound, honeysuckle, sage, aniseed, chamomile, ginko, comfrey, fennel, thyme, valerian, liquorice, passionflower and grindelia. We cannot cover all of them in detail, but here is more information about a number of them.
GARLIC
Well-known in the kitchen, there is more to the humble Allium sativum bulb than just folklore. |
| Most herbal suppliers provide combination formulas developed specially for asthma, which contain a number of herbs. Here is an example of the constituents of one: passionflower, common thyme, grindelia, euphorbia, ascorbic acid, Vitamin A acetate. Another recognised herbal mixture readily available contains proportions of horehound, euphorbia, senega, grindelia, liquorice and elecampane.
Horseradish and garlic tablets, available in odourless form, are recommended to help eliminate excessive mucus. |
| Rid your garden of pests with herbs, not insecticides. Sit at least two metres away from the television. Polyurethane foam, found in seat cushions, food and other packaging, and refrigerator insulation, contains the chemical isocyanate, which is believed to have led to a dramatic increase in respiratory ailments such as asthma. Avoid where at all possible.
Move to a less polluted area or climate if possible. |
| Brewing or infusion times vary, but generally for tender plants such as basil, sage, mint, being steeped in boiling water for five minutes is sufficient, whereas tough herbs like coltsfoot or horehound need 10 minutes. A tea can be drunk or gargled, depending on the herb or symptom you are treating.
This book cannot attempt to give detailed information about all the complementary modalities it discusses, but there are plenty of books available that will give you instructions on making herbal remedies if you are interested. |
| You can take time to 'smell the herbs' and include them naturally in your cooking.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is derived from the Greek words homoios meaning 'like' and pathos meaning 'suffering'. It is a method of treating the sick based on the law 'Similia similibus curantur', which translates loosely as 'like being treated with like'.
Homeopathy was developed by a German medical practitioner, Dr Samuel Hahnemann, at the end of the eighteenth century. Dr Hahnemann, like many scholars of his time, was very innovative and prepared to challenge orthodox medicine. |

 Of all the herbs I've ever studied -- and I've written thousands of articles on nutrition and disease prevention -- aloe vera is the most impressive herb of them all. (Garlic would be a close second.) There is nothing on this planet that offers the amazing variety of healing benefits granted by aloe vera. In a single plant, aloe vera offers potent, natural medicine that:
Halts the growth of cancer tumors.
Lowers high cholesterol.
Repairs "sludge blood" and reverses "sticky blood".
Boosts the oxygenation of your blood.
Eases inflammation and soothes arthritis pain. |
| Combining the right herbs (like cat's claw), superfoods (like spirulina), advanced therapies (like intravenous vitamin C), oxygen therapy and other modalities will give you the best results when battling any form of cancer. Work with a naturopathic physician to learn more.
Aloe vera halts inflammation
Using aloe topically is well known to ease inflammation of joints, reducing arthritis pain. But aloe can also be used internally, reducing inflammation throughout the body from the inside out. |
| Most of the best healing benefits of herbs remain unstudied because there's no profit motive to fund such studies. So don't expect scientists to be leaping at the opportunity to "prove" that aloe vera has all these health benefits. Just eat it yourself and observe your own health improvements. You get the benefits regardless of whether a journal has published statistics about those benefits. |

 Acupuncture, herbs, EFT, Reiki, prayer, yoga...Now I'm ready for drugs and surgery!"
My mother's heart and soul recovered, but her body did not. She eventually died. But she died at peace, and—in every way that mattered—she died healed. She and my father lived in my sister's spacious home for those last two years, surrounded by friends and family and she died in the bed where she had slept much of her last few years. It was very early morning when she died, before dawn, but she started up just before the end. Her last words were, "I see the light. Do you see the light? |

| Today, the alternative-medicine industry, which includes vitamins, supplements, homeopathic remedies, and herbs, is a $46-billion-per-year business, large enough to compete with pharmaceutical companies. Sales of vitamins alone are $17 billion a year and growing because a lot of us buy into the argument that vitamins are worth the money. If you were to follow the advice of one company (Life Extension), as many do, you would spend a minimum of $7,248 per year on vitamins. |

 Skip gravy and rich sauces and enhance the flavor of foods by cooking with broth, stock, lemon juice, onions, and seasonings like garlic, ginger, cumin, spice blends, and herbs. ţTrim away any fat on meat and go skinless with poultry before cooking.
Reduce portion sizes
For more information on portion control, see chapter 5.
Snacks
Snacking is a very good habit as long as you keep the portion size small and calorie count low. You are allowed up to three snacks per day to be eaten between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and after dinner, if genuinely hungry. |

 Without doubt, future medicine will make good use of herbs: the medicine of the past will be the medicine of the future.
The difference will be due to the growing sophistication of herbal medicine. With the continuing advancement in science and technology there has been a great improvement in the quality of herbal medicines available. Improvements in cultivation techniques, coupled with improvements in quality control and standardization of potency, will continue to increase the effectiveness of herbal medicines.

 Arthritis and fever certainly can be treated with herbs alone. But a third-degree burn or lacerated artery requires emergency medical attention immediately. Still other problems fall somewhere in between either of these extremes. Cancer is one of these. Some types (leukemia or colorectal tumors) may be successfully treated using only natural remedies, provided they are detected early enough. |
| The potency of herbs can either decrease or increase in the dried state. Witness what happens when fresh garlic is brought into close contact with the eyes—tears immediately form; but the same effect is pretty much lost when dried garlic powder is held close to the eyes instead. |

 What if you chose a different route that actually supports your health through anti-cancer foods, herbs, exercise, sunlight and advanced naturopathic therapies? You might find, as many have found in the fields of naturopathic medicine and alternative medicine, that you can actually be cancer-free. You can cure cancer. Countless people, in fact, already have.
Curing your own cancer
When you cure cancer, it is no longer a question of whether you are going to live six months, two years, or five years. You get to live a normal life cancer-free. |
| Then, even more frustratingly, they begin to take a few herbs or experience some kind of alternative treatment and end up dying from organ failure caused by the toxic chemotherapy given to them by their conventional medical doctors. That is why I tell people you have to make a choice sooner. Do not wait until you are at death's door to wake up and choose alternative medicine. By then it may be too late. |

 But because herbs are harvested without tight controls, you don't know exactly what you're getting inside the pill. For the same cost, you're better off using another supplement such as niacin or pantothenic acid.

Smell: As you age, you're more likely to lose smell than taste. The smell process-in which odors combine with one thousand different receptors in your nostrils-can be damaged by certain diseases, drugs, or even environmental exposures.
