To: All European Citizens Who Want to Help Primates

This is Urgent because the Deadline is so close!

The European Commission (EC) is currently revising the law - known
as Directive 86/609 - that governs animal experiments across Europe.

86/609 is a hugely powerful Directive that has power of life and
death over millions of animals across the continent - setting out
minimum standards for how and whether animals can be used in
experiments.

A staggering ten million animals are used in outdated and wasteful
experiments in European laboratories every year. The Directive is
supposed to ensure "the protection of animals used for experimental
and other scientific purposes" but the huge numbers show that it's
just not doing that.

There is a real possibility that with enough support the EC will ban
all primate tests as part of the revised law.

Written Declaration 40/2007 urges the European Parliament to use the
revision process of Directive 86/609/EC as an opportunity to
establish a timetable for replacing the use of all primates in
scientific experiments with alternatives.

The Declaration will fall on 7th September and the signatures of
half the MEPs in the Parliament is needed by then.

If you care about animals visit the following website to urge them
to sign Written Declaration 40/2007.
http://www.navs.org.uk/take_action/39/0/885/

If you want to do more:-
Please write to the European Commission and ask them to ban primate
tests. To help, a prepared letter can be found at
http://www.eceae.org/saveprimates/en/action.html

The address is:-
Mr. Stavros Dimas
Commissioner for Environment
European Commission
B-1049, Brussels, Belgium

Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK and Europe
about Written Declaration 40/2007.

My name is Mari Furby and I live in Parkersburg, WV.  I am 45 and
just diagnosed with lipomas in my arms and legs.  They are very very
small with the largest being 6 mm, and do not bother me unless
someone presses on them.

My cholesterol was 204 in October 2006, and I began taking every
vitamin and mineral I could get my hand on for this problem and began
walking alot more and now my cholesterol is down to 178.

I want to know EVERYTHING there is to know about herbs and how they
can help. I am raising my grand daughter who will be 5 on Monday and
I want to teach her how to live naturally and healthy.  I want all
the information.

My address is

Hey,

I've recently been diagnosed with chronic inflamation of the
bronchials, resulting in near-constant bronchitis, and occasional
coughing up blood.  I've started on ALJ and Chinese Lung Support, plan
to start the concentrated Chinese Lung Support as soon as it comes
from NS, and plan to go visit with Sol Wickey on the matter again soon
to see what he has to say.  The CT scans support the diagnosis (2
separate scans nearly a year apart from 2 unaffiliated hospitals).

The doctors are suggesting I start taking a rotating antibiotic
monthly... which I simply will NOT do. They are also telling me that
it is a permanent condition I should learn to live with, consider
using steroids for the inflamation, and various other unnatural
medications.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance,

Ken

Hello,
I'm new to the group and to herb medicine. I'm 42yrs and have always considered
myself
healthy until 8yrs ago when I developed eczema on all of my toes. I got bitten
by a few red
ants and those wounds allowed the "staph" that naturally lives on everyone's
skin to enter
and cause/trigger eczema to develop. I've lost and regrown both of my big
toenails and really
suffered as the itch and irrtation spread and got worse. Several doctors have
tried to cure it
with steroid ointments, then Finally my doctor wanted me to take an internal
pill treatment
but I opted out due to the danger to my liver.  My research for a cure has led
me to discover
holistic medicine and to realize that I may have a huge internal overgrowth of
yeast/fungus
which may be the reason I can't subdue the eczema. I have been taking an olive
leaf
supplement plus a paste for the skin of olive oil mixed w/ coconut oil but that
didn't seem to
help (unless I didn't give it long enough-2wks). So recently I tried Rapha
Remedy (from Doug
Kaufman) and it has really helped tremendously but the itch still returns. So
now that I'm
currently not pregnant nor nursing I plan to do a colon cleanse process,etc. to
address the
yeast,toxins and possible parasites that may be a promoter for the eczema. Any
other
opinions about my dual remedy approach?? Has anyone been relieved of the torment
of
eczema,if so, please share what worked.
Thank you and God Bless!
Kelly

Hey everyone. I got this message on one of my other lists I am

Anyways, you can get yours at http://www.freecdbooks.com. It's

Hi!

I just joined, and wanted to say hi!

And since this is a health related group, I thought I'd ask a
question.  I have a lot of lower back trouble.  Degenerative disk
disease, and a herniated disk. Is there anything herb-wise, that I
can take to help myself feel better?  Or any other ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Dear Susan,

If you have done your homework (and it sounds like you have), your
diagnosis is probably as good as anyone else's.

You might want to take a look at our candida program at
http://www.theherbdoc.com/Programs/Candida.htm

To help your body to stimulate cleasing of your lymphatic system you
might also consider Lymphatic Drainage
[http://www.theherbdoc.com/detail.asp?product_id=3171-7] and either Lymphomax
[http://www.theherbdoc.com/detail.asp?product_id=4077-6]
or Lymph Gland Cleanse
[http://www.theherbdoc.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=920-3].

Anyone else in the group have any ideas for Susan?

Rick

Dear Susan,

Without actually seeing you it is difficult to determine what it is
that your body is looking for, but here are some ideas to consider.

> it started out just as acid reflux...

My personal opinion [please remember that I am not licensed to offer
medical opinion or advice in any way] is that "acid reflux disease"
does not actually exist as a medical condition, but only as a
marketing tool for the pharmaceutical companies. I personally
believe that most individuals who think they may have "acid reflux
disease" actually have a hiatal hernia. With this condition, the
esophagus slips upward through the diaphragm and tips the stomach,
which opens the stomach's upper valve, allowing hydrochloric acid to
be released upward into the exophagus.

Many natural health professionals, chiropractors, and osteopaths can
perform a simple technique to reduce the hiatal hernia, or you can
do it to yourself or to your loved ones.

You (or the person upon whom you are performing the procedure)
should be standing and relaxed. Then place your fingers as high
underneath the sternum (breast bone) as you can (if doing this to
yourself, use the ball of your right thumb — the really padded
part
of your hand where your thumb connects to the palm of your hand as
close to the wrist as you can), then press inward as much as can be
tolerated and then slide down along the bottom of the ribcage to the
person's left. What you are trying to do is to get hold of the top
of the stomach and push it down to where it belongs, pulling the
esophagus down into proper position at the same time.

You might need to do this several times a day and gradually reduce
over time ... it all depends upon how stubbor the stomach is about
staying it its tipped position.

If you can't feel the top of the stomach, drink a couple of glasses
of ice water first and you should be able to more easily feel the
stomach (because it will be colder and firmer).

NOTE WELL: Many physicians say that individuals with heart
conditions should not drink ice water as it may create a "shock"
condition to the heart.

If you are having difficulty with the procedure, you can just drink
a couple of glasses of water to put some weight into your stomach
and then *CAREFULLY* jump off of a low stool or a low step [ be
careful not to fall and break your leg or your neck :) ]. This will
cause the momentum to make your stomach continue falling after the
rest of your body has stopped, and will sometimes cause it to resume
its rightful place in your abdomen.

I'm generally quite cautious about taking antiacids. Most Americans
over the age of 50 do not produce enough hydrochloric acid (HCl) for
proper digestion, and should actually take an HCl supplement like
Nature's Sunshine's PDA. One way to test this is the next time you
feel an "acid" stomach, take a tablespoonful of lemon juice. If it
makes the burning worse, your stomach probably has too much acid; if
it makes the burning get better, your stomach probably does not have
enough acid and you should consider taking PDA with every meal. [
http://www.theherbdoc.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=1837-5 ]

Nature's Sunshine has a complete line of digestive supplements,
enzymes, and intestinal microorganism that aid the entire digestive
process, and you might find one or more of them helpful. You can go
here http://www.theherbdoc.com/search_results.asp?

Category drop-down list.

Vote.com is presently running a survey asking whether or not the FDA
should regulate herbal remedies. This is an extremely volatile issue
that deserves your attention. The FDA has recently taken away your
right to use ephedra and is currently working to take away echinacea
and cascara sagrada, among other traditional remedies.

The FDA is not taking this action to protect the consumer, but
rather to protect their personal investments in the multi-trillion
dollar pharmaceutical industry. (See
http://www.theherbdoc.com/consumereducation/HealthNews/FDA.htm#EphedraIssue)

Please make your voice heard at
http://www.vote.com/vote/60236919/index.phtml then pass
this message to the other concerned citizens in your address book.

Thank you.

Hello...

I am new to the group...
I have been sick w/ WHATEVER for about 8 months now...
I have had just about every test known to mankind...the tests said
that I was fine .....
it started out just as acid reflux...then they the doctors said
that I really didn't have it and put me on meds for dyspepsia..
valium, effexor, ultram for pain and was still on my nexium....
that just drugged me out and made me feel worse so I quit taking all
four meds...then, i had a thyroid problem and still think that I have
a thyroid problem but the doctors are saying that my thryoid is
normal, not swollen and is fine.  My food is not coming up per say
(not acid reflux)...it is not absorbing right possibly and also think
that i have microorganisms...the doctors think I need to be locked up
in a padded cell and just take my meds.  i have been taking
supplements since about february or so...don't know what else to do.
I actually got better...halfway but can't seem to get FULLY
better...right now I am taking:
Astralagus, fennel for digestion...
vitamin...
beta carotene
yeast cleanse and something for parasites.....

my larynx is hoarse and still hurts....i have been telling the
doctors that i haven't had a full voice and that it hurts since
10/03...they just keep on telling me that it will come back in two
weeks and then it doesn't...i have just about given up on doctors...i
know there is a need for them but right now I don't need them...they
are just making me more frustrated and more stressed out.  I am going
to see an ENT doctor so that he can look at my throat and thyroid and
to make sure that everything is fine in that department...I just need
to make an appt...

can anyone tell me what herbs or supplements is good for absorbing
nutrients and/or microorganisms?  I am somewhat new to this but have
been doing some research ON MY own since about february or so....

i have an incomfortable feeling in my chest and some pain near my
thyroid and larynx....it gets worse when I eat dairy or sugary
products....another group that I subscribe to is telling me to
eliminate all dairy and sugar for my diet...I can't go all organic
because it is TOO EXPENSIVE and also everything has some sugar and
some dairy in it.  How do I just eliminate it?  I am drinking rice
milk now istead of dairy but whey has dairy in it also....???  I am
103-104 pounds right now and am about 5 feet.....5...1/2 inches
tall...I have no really any room for error here....

ps..any other feedback or information would be VERY HELPFUL and be
VERY APPRECIATED!!

LOVE
Susan

Dear Doc,

Thank you for your help in advance.
God bless you.
