Hello To All!

[Guest guest]

My name is Ginny and I want to learn all I can about herbal remedies

and/or alternative treatments. I desire to live to a ripe old age and

I want my children to have optimal health. It's a standing joke in my

family that " doctors " will kill you if you give them 1/2 a chance and

the older I get the more I believe it. However, no-one seems to know

the basics. I'll take whatever advice/pointers I can get.

 

I am particularly interested in help with my 4 year old who is

hyperactive. I can't control his behavior. His doctor recently

started him on Focalin against my better judgement but at this point I

don't know what else to do. Please help!

Ginny-

 

Welcome to the list. I like your analogy about doctors. Natural healing can be fun, effective and simple. The first principle that many of us on this list follow is that you need to put your body back into balance. The human body thrives when it is in balance and it wants to be there sending us signs (symptoms) all the time that we need to do something different.

 

Here is a way to begin.

 

Start transitioning your diet (and your families) to one that includes more and more organic raw fruits and raw vegetables. Organic food has 3-7 times more nutrients than conventional food and it doesn't have harmful pesticides and herbicides on it that tax your liver, which needs to cleanse your body of these.

 

Start juicing some of these fresh raw fruits and veggies. (Especially for your son) I would give him a minimum of 2 fresh raw juices a day. Also juices are the most potent when taken right after juicing. And these taste fantastic too!!! You may need to do some experimenting to find ones that you and your son like. My favorite juice is 3 apples, 4 carrots, a grapefruit or 2 and an orange or 2.

 

Start looking into cleansing out your intestinal tract. There are some great write ups in the files section of this group that give you herbal formulas which are very good. If you have problems getting or making those formulas, look up Sonnes #9 and Sonnes #7 formulas which are available at most health food stores. I would start monitoring your son's bowel movements. If he can't get the waste out then his body will be overwhelmed with toxins and that could stress out the liver and kidneys and lead to many symptoms including being hyper active. A healthy individual has 2-4 bowel movements a day. The files section has a gentle formula for children. Or you could up his dosage of prunes.

 

The total tonic formula in the files section is one of the easiest to make and is a very potent infection fighter and overall body aid. It can be taken many times daily everyday of your life. This formula is simply raw, organic onions, garlic, ginger root, horseradish root, and a few hot peppers.

 

Clean the horseradish a bit, peel the skin off the garlic and then chop everything up so you have a handful of the garlic, onions, ginger and horseradish. Put into a blender. Add a few hot peppers. Add organic apple cider vinegar to the blender, so the level is about an inch below the top of the herbs. Blend heavily for a few minutes. Now you have 2 options here. You can store the mixture for 2 weeks (shaking daily) and then strain so you just have a liquid. You would then have a total tonic tincture. Or you can begin right away and eat the mash by the spoonful. Do not cook the mash, it degrades its potency. You can throw it on salads or other stuff. This is a definite do for you and your son.

 

The other formula that you should be taking on a daily basis is called Body Balance. It is a great source of organic minerals.

 

Take some organic black strap molasses and organic apple cider vinegar. Put these in a container in a 50-50 ratio. Shake up well. Take 2 or more tablespoons daily. I would lighten the dosage to your son to about one tablespoon daily.

 

One other thing is called Total Nutrition. This is a daily nutritional drink that many of us on the list use. It is fantastic. The ingredients are in the files. If you have trouble getting the ingredients or purchasing this, bring the print out of ingredients to your local health food store and find a "green drink" powder recipe that has most of those.

 

The best time to have this is in the morning. You put a tablespoon or so of this into your son's fresh juice for a great start to his day. For you I would take 2 tablespoons daily mixed in with some juice. I mix mine with apple juice, 2 bananas and some frozen berries. I also add 2 raw organic eggs to mine, for added protein, but that is your call. I find that I don't even taste them.

 

So for your son I would put him on the total tonic formula, body balance, fresh juices, and "Total Nutrition" formulas everyday. Also you need to monitor his bowel movements. Anything less than 2-4 a day needs to be increased.

 

If you follow this plan diligently, using common sense of course, I see no reason why in a few weeks you can't turn your son around.

 

You or your son may experience some slight stomach discomfort. This will pass with time. It is the body readjusting. I would at first make sure you are not taking the total tonic or body balance on an empty stomach.

 

Soda should be completely eliminated from the diet. Any pasta, white bread, non-organic chicken, and meat should be greatly reduced. Ezekiel bread, which is sprouted grain bread, is a very good alternative. I little treat I make myself sometimes is toasted Ezekiel bread, rub some fresh garlic on it, spread on some organic olive oil, add some spices of your choice, and maybe a slice of tomatoes. It is pretty good.

 

Another mode of thinking that many have is that if you don't have whole (non-juiced) food in your diet you are starving yourself of nutrition. Not true. The body spends upwards of 2/3 of its energy digesting food (on a typical American diet). When you juice for a meal not only are you getting concentrated raw vitamins and minerals, you are letting your body use the energy it would have used for digesting food on something else, like healing the body. My ultimate diet would be total nutrition in the morning (which I do now) and fresh juices for both lunch and dinner, with a few pieces of fruit thrown in throughout the day.

 

I think this should get you started. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Suggested reading material is everything in the files section, written by the list owner Doc Shillington, and 2 other authors and natural healing specialists, Dr. John Christopher and Dr. Richard Schulze.

 

Good luck!!

Rob

HUNGRY...NOTHING TASTED RIGHT...THEN, HE DIDN'T WANT HIS CAFESITO

WHICH WAS DESERT TO HIM, SELDOMLY YOU KNOW, HE NEVER OVER DID

ANYTHING..REGULAR MILITARY DUDE...HE ALWAYS ATE HEALTHY LIKE AN OX,

WASN'T EATING, NOTHING SETTLED RIGHT, HE WAS DOWN TO EATING SALAD,

MASHED POTATOES WITH EGGS..THAT'S THE ONLY THING HE WOULD EAT THE

LAST MONTH! SO THEN THE DOCTOR DECIDED TO BRING HIM IN FOR TESTING

FOR 2DAYS...A WEEK LATER, MIND YOU, THEN THE DOCTOR PRESCRIPBED A

DERITIVE OF MARIJUANA TO OPEN UP HIS APPETITE....AGAIN, FUNKY PILLS

TO A PATIENT THAT NEVER TAKES PILLS FOR ANYTHING, SO OF COURSE, MY

Hi Ginny, Read post #77077 and learn about the acid alkaline pH

balance of the body.

Stop using any refined and or processed foods!

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables!

 

Now for a note on your child being Hyperactive: Your child is

being allowed to eat too much meats and other proteins, and is not

eating enough fresh green leafy vegetables.

A high protein diet causes a Fight and Flight attitude!!

 

A diet low in protein and high in complexed carbohydrates and high

in fresh fruits and vegetables , which contain plenty of Calcium and

Magnesium ( Fresh Cole crops-cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprouts,

green beans ), provides for a Relaxed attitude!!

 

If the body recieves enough Calcium and Magnesium, then the

muscles are able to relax and the person will have a relaxed

attitude!!

 

Another note: A child should not be allowed to eat any Nuts or Nut

butters, like peanut butter( Very high in protein)until after they

are over 7 years of age!!

 

Smile Tis now your choice!
