Dear VC Mehta

Most of the Herbs have dual action just like Homeopathic medicines.
If sick, you take them and get cured.
If not sick, taking the herbs may make you sick.

And yes it is true, a person who is already suffering from indigestion should avoid Harad.

Harad is one of those herbs. It is very good for digestive problems. If you are not suffering from any digestive disorder and still you take Harad, it may lead to Indigestion.
Harad is taken for digestive disorders with the combinations of other Herbs like Beleric Myrobalan ( Behada) and Indian Goose Berry ( Amla ).

There are other herbal formulas that you may take to boost your intestines.
Boil one table spoon of Fennel in three cups of water. Boil it for 10 minutes. Now drink this water. Repeat the process three times a day. This will tone up your intestines and will also reduces the extra fat around you belly.

Other Herbs that are good for Digestion and Intestines are as follows.
Aloe Vera
Indian Goose Berry
Peppermint
Lemon Balm
Ginger

Hi Zara,

Gilbert is a disorder of the immune system. The Liver is unable to process Bilirubin to Bile. The bilirubin level increases in the blood. The condition is considered harmless as it does not affect the normal functioning of the body organ. It gives a yellowish look to the Skin, Stools, Urine and white portion of the Eyes.

You can try MIlk Thistle. It enhance the functioning of the Liver and improves bilirubin conversion to the bile. Milk thistle is easily available in tablet and capsule form in the market. Take 200mg of MIlk Thistle tablet once daily for a month. Revert back with your status.

We recommend discussion with a qualified Doctor before use.

Dear Darin Cox
For reducing weight, drink green tea daily, early morning.
Swallow a tablespoon of raw Fenugreek seeds daily. Eat 250 gm of Papaya daily for dinner will also help to reduce weight. Have you heard of a fruit called Avocado. This is a great fruit, which helps in reducing weight. It will suppress your hunger, reduces the urge to eat and will help to shed off extra calories, that too without any side effect.

Lucky. You should not take homeopathic medicine any more. You may stop it. Eat a lot of probiotic yogurt and Garlic. Wash your Penis with clean water. Make sure the water is clean in your area, if not, you may boil the water, let it cool and then wash your penis with it. Apply coconut oil over it twice in a day.
Discuss with your doctor before you try anything.

28 Nov 2016
Dear Miroslav Since, your child is suffering from a hereditary disease, so he will not respond to the normal treatment. An expert advice is needed in this case. We will surely get that for you,but, before that you need to answer a few questions-- Does your child crave for milk, sugar or mud ?
Does he lick walls or crave for eggs?
Was your son born fat or flabby ?

Chetan
It is advised that you consult your health care provider. Since we can not examine you physically, so we can not comment what are suffering from ? As , you already have got the tests done, you must seek the advice of your doctor.
This is the wisest thing to do. You can not just keep on assuming. Moreover, the pain is there for the last 3 years which is quite a long time. Diagnosis is a must.

Drink 3 glasses of Carrot juice every day for 8 weeks regularly, this will reverse the tumor. Do it regularly, do not skip. Take Galium Aparine tincture, 5 drops daily for a month. Put the drops in a glass of water. Drink it every day.
Include Ginger and Garlic in your daily diet.

Matheen. Your cure lies in alkalizing your body.
Take Green Leaf Juice everyday for 15 days. The Genesis page given in the vibrant health portal explains the entire procedure. Drink Baking Soda every day in half glass of water for 21 days. Add a pinch of Baking SOda to it and have it. Another herb is Apple CIder Vinegar, twice a day with warm water. Add a tablespoon t a glass of water. Drink it for 2 months.

I found my FOLATE is very high (blood tests). I do NOT eat green leafy vegetables at all as I have chronic constipation and fiber causes me to be worse.
So it has to be an herb I'm taking. I read this:Toxicity[edit]

The risk of toxicity from folic acid is low, because folate is a water-soluble vitamin and is regularly removed from the body through urine.[55] One potential issue associated with high dosages of folic acid is that it has a masking effect on the diagnosis of pernicious anaemia (vitamin B12 deficiency),[56] and a variety of concerns[clarification needed] of potential negative impacts on health.[57

I take triphala gi tract wellness (chebulic myrobalan fruit, amia fruit and belleric myobalan fruit). I also take senna. I also take Slippery Elm (slippery elm bark). I take Colace stool softeners.
I'm looking up ingredients but really am not sure which herb would make folic go so high. Can you comment please?

No Priti. This herb is not good for [pregnant women and not even for those who are breastfeeding.
So avoid its consumption if you are pregnant.

. No harad has got noting to with this habi. I would like to share that excessive masturbation will cause memory loss, weakness in the eyes and slow reflexes. You will feel Fatigue and not bare the change in weather and You will get sick easily due to weak immune system. So if you want to Masturbate, make sure that you will not ejaculate.
The herbs that are known to have shown positive results are--
Ashwagandha, Gokharu and Maca powder.

Drink decoction of Devil's Claw herb. Have it twice a day for 7 days. This will cure Lyme Disease. Also, I will suggest that you mix 2 teaspoon of Coconut oil to a quarter tea spoon of tea tree essential oil. Apply it on the affected area. Do this twice in a day.

Hi Cecilia ,this is for h. pylori only: first you have to get InterFase Plus from Klaire Labs (it eradicates the biofilm which protects the h- pylori bacteria - antibiotics want do that anymore), and you also take Monolaurin 1200mg twice daily, L- Glutamine 1/2 a tsp., over food in morning, Monolaurin 600mg 2caps. x2 with food p.d. , Nutricillin 2 caps p.d. on empty ( all by Ecological) and Mastic Gum 1gr. bef. food and and at night before bed. These you can get from I- Herb. In the first few days you can get Herxheimer reaction - just ignore it. Don't use any antacid medication, because the bacteria thrives on them. Once I got rid of h.p I use Betaine HCL&Pepsin from Thorne as maintenance for increased stomach acid. Martin
