God Bless,

Another was the sensitivity he demonstrated when a family, weary from the

struggle, brought in a fifteen-year-old boy ravaged with epileptic seizures.

The boy, who regularly suffered as many as twenty-five seizures in a single

day, could not be left unattended, and family members had hired a staff of

nurses to watch him night and day. The epilepsy created a roaring cacophony

of noise inside his head, and in an attempt to quiet it, the boy pounded his

head against the wails until blood poured from his ears, nose, and mouth.

 

 

Doctors throughout Washington were helpless to relieve his condition,

specialists called in merely shook their heads with weak apologies. The boy

could not talk and had never attended school. Medical authorities

proclaimed him severely retarded and told the family to institutionalize

him. Instead, they came to Dr. Christopher in a desperate last attempt for

help.

 

 

Help the boy he did. Ray began by giving his parents strict

nutritional guidelines, and next used therapeutic massage. Finally, he gave

the boy two herbal combinations designed to build and strengthen the tissues

of the nervous system. Ray showed the boy's parents how to brew them into

soothing teas that he could sip through parched lips.

 

 

Within six months, the boy that had been labeled retarded was speaking,

and the family brought in tutors twice a week to begin the arduous task of

teaching him. Instead of being handicapped as the doctors had determined,

he was instead brilliant! Within a few months of tutoring, he was at the

normal grade level for a fifteen-year-old. He enrolled in school, free of

the seizures that had once completely crippled him.

 

 

The herbal combinations Ray used to help the boy became B & B, MEM, and

Relax-Eze, all formulated to heal the nervous system. MEM, a blend of blue

vervain, blessed thistle, gotu kola, ginger root, cayenne, and Brigham tea,

cleans and heals the tissues of the nervous system, restores memory, and

strengthens the thought processes.

 

 

A combination of skullcap, wood betony, black cohosh root, hops

flowers, valerian root, and cayenne, Relax- Eze also feeds and rebuilds the

nerves. Especially rich in calcium and phosphorous, the herbs in Relax-Eze

repair and nourish the spinal cord, the nerve sheath, and the capillaries of

the nervous system. That's not all. The herbal combination helps reduce

irritation of the nervous system, soothes spasms and tics, and relieves

pain.

 

 

As a base for the formula, Ray used skullcap, an herb with the power to

feed, regulate, strengthen and rehabilitate nerve cells without the side

effects often caused by pharmaceutical nerve medications. Skullcap is

naturally calming, especially for those troubled by worry or emotional

distress. Ray watched it induce quiet, natural sleep in hundreds of his

patients over the years. He often remembered one woman who had been

troubled throughout her life with chronic insomnia, and for years she had

never succeeded in sleeping for more than thirty minutes at a time. After

sipping a tea brewed from Relax-Eze, she slept soundly throughout the night.
