Healing with Herbs, Grass and Flowers

Dr. Schulze - "In my many years of practice I have seen tens of thousands of patients recover from any and all disease using Natural Healing. I have treated people with every illness known, and some unknown ones, and everyone got well if they did the work. I have seen people at deaths door, people who all the doctors said would be dead a year before I ever met them. And I have seen these walking dead, recover, and outlive their doctors, but I never healed any of them, they ALL healed themselves."

The Plight of Healing in America Today

Dr. Richard Schulze - Over the last 80 years, organized medical groups and pharmaceutical companies, using lawyers, bribes, lobbyist, insurance companies and the strong arm of the Food and Drug Administration, have been very busy. They have corrupted elected officials to pass laws to remove any competition. They have crushed Natural Doctors, Natural Medicine, and Self-Care. Their goal is to monopolize health care and make us dependent on medical doctors and pharmaceutical drugs. It almost worked!

We have watched them pass more and more laws restricting our rights; they have made many healing herbs, foods and even nutrients illegal. Natural health professionals that flourished a few decades ago are now barred by law to practice, and Natural Doctors, Holistic Healers, Health Food Store Owners and even family members of the sick have been arrested and jailed for using natural remedies.

Dr. Schulze has tried to make changes in Washington and was physically beaten and jailed. He then decided the best way for him to create medical freedom was to take it to the people, his grass roots Natural Healing Crusade. Dr. Schulze believes we can put the medical and pharmaceutical industries in their place by educating everyone in the healing powers naturally present in the human body and how to use the foods and herbs given to us by God and Nature. Most importantly each of us must stop using and supporting these deadly industries by learning the healthy and natural God-given alternatives.

Natural healing can cure the medically-incurable Dr. Schulze is dedicated to health freedom, to give the power back to the people through health education, to help people regain their freedom of choice to heal themselves, make conscious health decisions, work with natural health practitioners and freely use any plant, food or health product they choose. Herbs can make an impact on almost any condition, no matter how serious! Dr. Schulze helped thousands to regain their health and get rid of cancer, AIDS, heart disease and other "incurables."

Curing with Cayenne


Cayenne PepperCayenne has the ability to clear the blood of matter and gases that cause digestive problems and to help people who suffer from cold hands or feet. It alleviates inflammation and can break up the deposits that contribute to the pain of arthritis. It clears sinus congestion, conjunctivitis, and spongy, bleeding gums. Because it also has astringent qualities, it can stop bleeding and prevent swelling. A source of Vitamin C, it rejuvenates the entire body when energy is depleted and is such a powerful stimulant that just a few sips of cayenne water or a few grains of cayenne on the lips may help prevent shock or depression in times of physical or emotional trauma. And it is believed to be a good tonic for strengthening the heart. From my studies and my own experience with cayenne, I consider it to be an important ingredient for anybody interested in taking educated and careful responsibility for his or her own well-being in situations that are not serious enough to require a doctor's care or in circumstances in which medical attention is not immediately available.

Health and the Wild Food Chain

Cindy Engel PhD

Wild Food Chain Much research on the benefits of organic food focuses on the nutritional quality of that food. However organic food has other health-enhancing properties which may be even more important medicinal properties. Of course, the distinction between nutrition and medicine not always clear a phenomenon illustrated by the ways animals keep themselves well in the wild. Wild animals have evolved a range of behavioral strategies to maintain health: avoidance, preventive and curative strategies. Some of these strategies are related to diet and are worthy of our attention.

Dr.Engel provides a good reason why traditional herbology bases functions of herbs upon taste. Animals have been self-healing for millions of years and our taste buds have evolved for this purpose! For example, many species show increased tolerance of bitter tastes when they have an active bacterial infection. This makes sense, since herbs with natural antibiotics are usually quite bitter. Many species will actively seek out such bitter herbs when infected.

In captivity, gorillas suffer from serious bacterial gut infections such as Shigellosis that can also lead to reactive arthritis, IBS and Chrons disease. In the wild, the lowland gorillas takes 90% of their diet from the fruits of Aframonum, a relative of the ginger plant, that is a potent antimicrobial. Scientists were intrigued as to why such a strong antimicrobial diet did not disrupt gut bacteria as it does in humans taking antibiotics. What they found was that this fruit actively keeps the bad bacteria in check without harming the good bacteria. In other words, Aframonum keeps gorillas healthy as a preventive.

Rich traditions of treating ailments with natural products

Sharon Kolasinski, M.D. - "For thousands of years, humans have used products from the natural world around them for food, clothing and shelter. The use of herbs, plants, and other natural products has been developed for many different reasons, one of the most important being for medicinal purposes. Throughout the world many cultures have developed elaborate rituals and rich traditions of treating ailments with natural products and some of these have survived into the modern era. In the contemporary western world, a renewed appreciation for the use of natural products in healing has grown over recent decades.

As the new millennium approaches, we are witnessing a continuing explosion of interest in what have come to be termed "alternative therapies. We know from a series of national surveys that have been conducted by researchers at the Harvard Medical School that a large percentage of Americans use alternative therapies for the treatment of a variety of conditions. Many of the most often cited reasons have to do with musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis."

C.K. Benny Foo, M.D. - "My mum is 89 years young and suffers from ischaemic heart disease and congestive cardiac failure. Her main complaints were severe shortness of breath on mild exertion, and coughing. She had to be wheeled around whenever we took her for an outing. I took two bottles of immune support-Heart home to Australia and started my mum on 2 capsules twice a day. After only three weeks she noticed some improvement in her breathing. After only 5 weeks she said the new capsules we brought back were #1, indicating with her right thumb up. Now she is able to walk further with much less shortness of breath. In mid-October we took her to Werribbee Zoo and brought the wheel chair along for her to use. After a short journey in the wheel chair she decided to walk by herself. We tried to dissuade her and told her that the walk would be too much for her heart. She insisted, and so we relented and let her push the wheelchair around the zoo.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is one of the most versatile plants on earth, and the ultimate mineral balance is accomplished by the perfect blend that nature placed in the plants. Aloe vera, also known as the medicinal aloe, is a species of succulent plant that probably originated in Northern Africa, the Canary islands and Cape Verde. Aloe vera grows in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa, India and other arid areas. The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal medicine. When Dr. Terry Pulse proved that Aloe Vera healing juice contains the important substance known as "Acemannan", he gave the world the scientific evident.

Aloe Vera has a long chain of polysaccharides that will feed the cells by detoxifying and building a strong immune system. That in return greatly improves the defense of the cells. The improved defense system protects the cells from virus and bacteria, which could other-wise penetrate the membrane and cause damage. Aloe Vera is known to release energy, oxygen, and detoxifies the affected membranes. Through this type of energy release, even cases of leukemia have received improvement through the stimulation of the bone marrow.

Many scientific studies of the use of aloe vera have been undertaken. Dr. Daniels a German doctor researched the effect that Aloe Vera healing juice has on the leukocytes. With this he proved that the cell walls are improved in their resistant factor so that the most aggressive viruses can not penetrate. There is evidence that Aloe vera extracts may be useful in the treatment of wound and burn healing, diabetes and elevated blood lipids in humans. These positive effects are thought to be due to the presence of compounds such as polysaccharides, mannans, anthraquinones and lectins. Aloe vera juice is used for consumption and relief of digestive issues such as heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome.

Healing with Moringa - The Miracle Tree



Why Most Herbal Formulas Don't Work!
A Message from Dr. Richard Schulze - A Master Herbalist

Natural healing can cure the medically-incurable One of the worst aspects of many herbal formulas today is the poor quality of herbs used. The vast majority of herbal products are made from herbs grown outside the US. There is only one reason for this: they are cheap. Herbs brought in from India, China, Egypt, Mexico or Eastern Europe cost literally pennies a pound. I never used these poor quality herbs in my clinic. I always used American organically grown herbs that can cost over 20 times as much. I have visited these countries and found filthy, disgusting growing conditions, toxic pollution and out-of-control use of pesticides and insecticides.

One way these herbal manufacturers assure their safety, not your health, is to design formula with very small amounts of the potent herbs, or none at all. Then, to be really safe, they suggest a dosage that is so low it's useless. They don't want to take any risks. To further weaken any potency, many manufacturers have abandoned the tried-and-true methods of old herbalists for quick extraction processes, high tech (high heat) machinery, freeze-dried herbs, ignoring the moons and seasons, mostly to make a quick buck. The result, most herbal products I see today are worthless junk. Many manufacturers are more concerned that their product tastes good or has a great-looking label than with whether you will get well using it. I also see labels loaded with sophisticated laboratory-testing results for potency, trying to convince you that the colorless, tasteless and odorless water inside will actually benefit you. How stupid do they think we are?

"When I first started my own healing journey in the 1960's, one of my first great shocks was that most health products didn't work. This included all of the herbal formulas I tried. I was constantly amazed at the weakness of these so-called intense herbal formulas that were supposed to change my life. They didn't. I would take them diligently and nothing would happen. Out of frustration, and my own illness, I remember taking 20 to 100 times the dosages, the whole bottle, and still little or no effect. In order to get myself well from a terminal heart disease, I had to break all the rules and make it up as I went. Because I broke the rules, I got well.

In the 1970's, I started helping others get well and opened up my clinic. From the early days of my clinical practice, I was especially interested in helping people with serious illness and degenerative diseases. Almost all other graduates from the various institutes I attended worked mainly on young, healthy people who wanted to be a bit healthier, but I was obsessed with emergency treatment and the sick and dying. The same useless herbal formulas that failed me years before were now failing to help any of my patients. They thought they were doing something wrong and this is why they were coming to see me. I was forced to improve upon the crude formulas I had developed to heal myself and also create new formulas that worked.

Celebrate the Timeless Art of Aromatherapy!

Essential OilsAromatherapy is the art and science of using essential oils from plant sources for health and wellbeing. Essential oils have a potentially powerful healing capacity. The early civilizations --- Egyptian, Greek,

Roman, Chinese, Egyptian, --- made use of aromatic plant materials in religious ritual and to promote physical and mental wellness. Aroma therapy is a specific science and a deeply complex art.

The inhalation of essential oils triggers changes within the limbic system which in turn can stimulate physiological responses within the body via the nervous, endocrine or immune systems.

Essential oils nourish and stimulate your skin, enhance your immune system, oils have a potentially powerful healing capacity when appropriately therapeutically applied. and delight the senses. Use them in your home and environment as room mists, candles, air fresheners and vaporizers. Open your mind to Aromatherapy and reap the benefits!

Swedish Bitters

This recipe was found among the writings of the well-known Swedish physician, rector of medicine, Dr. Samst. He died in his 104th year in a riding accident. His parents and grandparents all reached a patriarchal age.

"As a refugee from the German speaking area of Czechoslovakia, I became ill with typhoid fever in a camp in Bavaria, caused by contaminated meat and, through it came jaundice and an obstruction of the intestines. I spent more than 6 months in hospital and when my husband got my mother, my mother-in-law, our child and myself to Austria, I was a young but sick woman. At night I was hit by terrible pain that shot through my body like a sword. In these moments I could neither stand nor sit, walk nor lie down; at the same time I vomited and had diarrhoea. I was a helpless bundle of misery. These were after pains of the typhoid fever which sometimes can go on for years, as the doctor said. One day a woman brought me a small bottle containing a dark brown, strong smelling liquid. She had heard of my illness and wanted to help. The Swedish Bitters had relieved her of a serious complaint. Accompanying it was a transcript of an "Old Manuscript " in which was explained, in 46 points, how these drops heal every illness."

The Bach Flower Remedies : Including Heal Thyself, the Twelve Healers, the Bach Remedies Repertory Dr. Edward Bach (1886 - 1936)

A British origin Doctor - discovered flower therapy between 1930-1936, which is called Bach flower therapy later on. He was a renowned physician and bacteriologist. While practicing as an allopathic doctor he realized the meaning of old dictum that "There are no diseases, only sick people". When he was treating the factory laborers prone to various diseases, he observed that the workers were working under some unknown fear - the fear that they would be jobless. Thus when the mind is under constant pressure of fear, terror, uncertainty, despondency and despair, it is obvious that the harmony between mind and body gets imbalanced. The vital force of life gets disturbed resulting into illness. This also makes the immunity of body frail and the physical body gets easily susceptible to the diseases or conditions. Therefore the patient is more important than the diseases. His mental make up is vital in determining the correct line of treatment and every ailment is the result or expression of mental disturbances due to accumulated various mind obstructions originating either itself from mind or surrounding environment.
