Liver and Gallbladder

Formerly Barberry LG
Usages:

If the liver is particularly congested, we suggest the liver-gallbladder formula which contains the herbs:  barberry, wild yam, cramp bark, fennel seed, ginger, catnip and peppermint. This combination will aid in purifying the blood stream. For if the bile does not flow freely into the intestinal tract, it goes directly into the bloodstream and circulates throughout the system causing a toxic condition known as cholemia [causing] indigestion, sluggishness, fever, fatigue, constipation, upset stomach, chills, and vomiting [which are] among some of the symptoms. In addition to the above formula, the castor oil fomentation may be used over the liver. This will open the constipated capillaries within the liver.

Excesses in eating and drinking should be avoided. If gallstones are present and the ducts are blocked, bile may be forced back into the liver and enter into the bloodstream. The skin may take on a jaundiced color. Ultimately, the bile is excreted through the urinary tract. The urine is often dark red or amber color and is very concentrated. Clay color stools are another symptom. During a time of a gallbladder inflammation, heavy eating should not be done. Fruit and vegetable juices are recommended along with the liver-gallbladder herbal formula. The bowels should be kept open and unconstipated through the use of the lower bowel formula [called] Lower Bowel. Olive oil (2 tablespoons, 3 times a day) should be taken to lubricate the bile ducts. Our hydrangea root formula, made with 1 quart of apple juice and one ounce of hydrangea root soaked together for three days in a cool place and taken in two ounce doses during the three day cleanse, is capable of dissolving stones anywhere in the body. Light, more frequent meals are preferred over large heavy ones.

Dosages:

Suggested dose: 1/3 Cup or one or two capsules or tablets, 15 to 20 minutes before a meal.

Testimonials:

1.   Liver Transplant Avoided: A 45-year-old man scheduled for a liver transplant took 6 capsules of the Liver and Gallbladder combination three times a day and drank 1/2 gallon of carrot juice each day while waiting for the operation. Four weeks later after a medical exam, he was removed from the waiting list because of his marked improvement (others needed the transplant more than he did). -R.C., Provo, UT [D. Christopher]

2.   Polymyalgia: H.M. of Martha’s Vineyard developed Polymyalgia (pain and stiffness of the muscles) later in life, after her doctor put her on drugs. [The] doctor put her on prednisone to ease pain. However, after two years on this drug, she couldn’t walk. She started taking herbs, trying to find relief. She took Dr. Christopher’s Liver and Gallbladder formula, with Marshmallow and Astragalus for two and half weeks and started feeling better. She started walking again, and her sedimentary rate (lab work) dropped from 74 to 11. Two years later she only has problems with her knees. [D. Christopher]

Lower Bowel

Formerly Fen LB709101 copy 96 dpi 3.2014

Usage:
In most cases, improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles of most people to quit working, and it will take six to nine months with the aid of the lower bowel tonics for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently to have the peristaltic muscles work entirely on their own.

Most people have pounds of old dried fecal matter that is stored in the colon which is toxifying the system and keeping the food from being assimilated.

Dosage:
Over ninety percent of all diseases and malfunctions of children’s bodies (as with adults) stem from the unclean intestinal tract, constipation (Latin constipatio meaning crowding together), with infrequent or difficult evacuation of the feces, retention of the feces, and lack of coordination in the nerve and muscle functions of the colon and bowel.

The Lower Bowel Tonic, Fen LB is a CORRECTIVE FOOD for the intestinal tract. In bowel movements no two people are alike, and often a person will taper down on the lower bowel tonic over a period of time to one capsule three times daily, then to a single capsule a day–then all of a sudden, the herb is getting to the outside walls of the intestines and breaking loose some of this hard fecal matter, and it goes down the intestines and begins to clog you up.

So during your cleansing cycles–when the body is throwing off more of its accumulated wastage, or when the Lower Bowel Tonic is getting to the outside of the intestinal tract and breaking loose some of this hard fecal matter from the walls and with subsequent
intestinal congestion–you should remember to accentuate or intensify your use of the Lower Bowel Tonic and take the necessary quantity (up to maybe 8, 10, 15 and even 20 capsules a day) to break it loose; and when that is accomplished, then taper back down
again.

Ingredients:
1 part Barberry bark (Berberis vulgaris)
2 parts Cascara sagrada bark (Rhamnus purshiana)
1 part Cayenne (Capsicum minimum)
1 part Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
1 part Goldenseal root (Hydrastis canadensis)
1 part Lobelia herb and/or seeds (Lobelia inflata)
1 part Red raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus)
1 part Turkey rhubarb root (Rheum palmatum)
1 part Fennel (Foeniculum vulgari)

Testimonials:
1. Chronic Colitis Cured: It’s been a long time since I have written you, and I feel that I must tell you that I have gotten rid of the colitis I had for years and the doctors diagnosed as a nervous stomach and prescribed tranquilizers, which of course I didn’t take. At that time I came across an article written by you, entitled, “Does Your Colon Feed or Poison You.” I immediately started to take Blood Stream Formula plus Naturalax 2 Fen LB; it took about six months but it finally went. The pain was very bad but all I heard from doctors was, “You have a nervous stomach.” [B]ut I knew it had to be more than that. I thank GOD and you, Dr. Christopher for [the]cure that I have had due to that wonderful pamphlet that came my way, just when I needed it most. [NL 4-11]

2. Polyps: I am taking your Naturalax 2 Fen LB. I had surgery two years ago for polyps, they removed two large ones. Now not quite two years, they found another one thru x-ray. I started on your lower bowel cleaner Fen LB. It is helping very much. I think I passed that polyp the other day, so I am doing all this cleaning and take another x-ray in February. Also, I just purchased your book, School of Natural Healing. My husband and I like it best of all the books we have ever purchased. [NL 4-12]

3. Child Born with Constipation-Cured: My friend has a granddaughter about seven years old. Her parents told me she was born with constipation. She had one bowel movement a week, (all of her life). For two days each week before her bowel movements, she could not eat because she was in so much pain. They had spent
hundreds of dollars to physicians trying to help her. They were told not to worry. One bowel movement a week was normal for her granddaughter.

They changed the granddaughter’s diet and put her on cleansing herbs Fen LB and Blood Stream Formula. In two or three weeks, she was having three bowel movements a week. They then added Cascara Sagrada, and in another two weeks, the
granddaughter was having three bowel movements a day. [NL-2-1]

4. Gas and flatulence Relieved: I must tell you why I am subscribing to your newsletter. My confidence in you arose from the most remarkable help I received in the use of your Naturalax II Fen LB (incidentally, I am 73 years old).

For years I have suffered from gas and flatulence to an extreme degree–with no answer or relief from my own physician nor a specialist to whom he referred me. After the first day of use of your herbal formula, I had relief which has continued consistently for the
month I have been taking it.

I feel like a new human being–and needless to say, I am most grateful to you! [NL 2-2]

5.   Pain Eased: I have a friend who had had eight major surgeries. She lived in constant pain, very seldom was she able to go places and her physician had told her there was nothing more they could do.

She went on Dr. Christopher’s Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. She started on herbs to cleanse the colon [Fen LB] [and]the blood (Blood Stream Formula). [Plus she took] Cayenne, Herbal Calcium Formula, Yucca AR Joint, Herbal Eyebright, etc. In a matter of about three weeks, her pain was gone. She was able to start living again. In about 3 or 4 months, her arthritis left her.

She had had glaucoma for 13 years. Her glaucoma medicine was making her ill, so she went to her eye specialist. He tested her and said, [“T]here is not even a trace of glaucoma left. [T]here is virtually no cure for glaucoma[. H]ow did you do it[?”] Her reply was [that it was] thru herbs and diet. She was told whatever it is, don’t stop it. He took her off her glaucoma medication and a special pair of glasses. She now tells me her eyes have improved so much that she can now watch TV without glasses, which she never before had done. She started on this program less than a year ago. Her dark brown eyes are now turning green. She has a ways yet to go, but she is really living again. She is a composer and this past holiday season, had a Christmas Album published. [NL 2-2]
