and contains
not only the nutrients and active principles of the plant but also its unique life force and potency. New Zealand Herbals has created a system of herbal formulation, combining ancient and modern knowledge and our own discoveries.
Herbs have been used historically for a number of health problems from acute injury to chronic diseases
or to enhance fitness and performance levels. The armies of Alexander the Great and the Romans and
Egyptians made use of liquorice root to enhance stamina and improve performance. Today science has discovered that liquorice root supports the adrenal glands and exerts a powerful influence on human steroid hormone function. The role of the professional herbalist is to determine the best and safest level of dosage. At all times the minimum dosage is the best. This is called "The Principle of Minimum Dose".
Some herbs are known as "nutritive tonics" and can be used in larger amounts.
Michael J. McCammon N.D. personally chooses the raw materials that go into his formulations and tests are conducted to provide the optimal dosage, quality and compatibility. Many herbs are not compatible
with each other and this knowledge is essential to provide the very best results. What herbs to use, in
what form, what strength, what dose and which type of processing are all important for the final finished product. This product should be as pleasant as possible to consume, convenient and within optimum potency while still adhering to the principle of "minimum dosage" to achieve the desired result. An
excess amount of the herb can "swamp" the remedy and actually weaken the formula or even render it
ineffective.
Michaels system involves using the finest raw plant materials available and these are manufactured under stringent controls. All stages of the process of creating and manufacturing the formulas are in strict accordance with ancient and modern alchemic principles. Special processing ensures only the finest products leave the premises. Normal plant oxidation is inhibited, maintaining product potency and freshness, and ensures the bioavailability of the formulas. There are no artificial substances, and no
irradiation.
We completely guarantee our products to your satisfaction. Our bottles of capsules include natural
oxygenabsorbing packets and have special airtight seals, and our liquid formulas which are in amber
glass bottles are 100% bioavailable, convenient and contain no artificial preservatives.
Michaels formulas are best used initially for a ninety day period before any real assessment can be
made the vast majority of clients report amazing results long before this. However, the habits of many years cannot always be expected to disappear overnight. The first reports are generally of an increase in energy and a certain "lightness". Many feel better than they have in years. Of course it often depends on the original purpose for taking the product. Formulas are considered food supplements rather than
remedies. Remember that herbs have been and still are to a lesser degree nutritive substances and have been used by the family of humanity for thousands of years. Even coffee and tea can be beneficial
substances in certain circumstances. Herbalists consider these herbs to be on the strong side, moving into the area of stimulants".
After the ninety day period you may decide to use the formula for longer. Many can and should be used
as part of the daily regime. Naturally, always seek advice from a naturopath, your doctor or the person from whom you purchased the formula.

Herbs are in tune with the rhythms of the cosmos. Like all
consciousness.
We are interdependent on plants which convert sunlight and the minerals of the Earth into life. The plants feed our physiology, our minds and our nervous systems to help the processes of growth and consciousness.
All the universe is a metamorphosis of light. The growth of consciousness involves love, for only love can embrace all. The plant converts light into life, the human being converts life into love.
The leaves of the trees are for the healing of the Nations Revelations.

1.
ACTIVATE: Herbs activate life and normal bodily processes due to their life force and vitamin,
mineral, trace element and active chemical constituents, lignans, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, etc. The energetics of plants cannot be separated from their chemical elements. Chemical
elements on their own cannot sustain life. Just as scientists can make seawater but no fish will live in it, the biological order and intelligence of plants and their biomagnetic fields are
transferred to the human being to the degree that they are chosen and prepared, and in the
2.
BUILD: Building elements are supplied mainly through herbs. Mineral, protein and carbohydrate constituents. Herbs have been used as foods for thousands of years. Essentially many of today's vegetables were once herbs before they were selectively bred. Herbs retain the concentrated
elements in unhybridised form. They still contain the natural resistance to predators and require
little or no artificial sprays, pesticides etc. Their leaves contain rich amounts of bloodbuilding chlorophyll. Each part of the plant works upon the corresponding tissues of the human body; its juice works upon our plasma, resin upon our blood, softwood upon our muscles, gum upon our fat, bark upon our bones, leaves upon our marrow/nerves, and flowers/fruit upon our reproductive
organs.
3.
CLEANSE: Herbs cleanse the physiology by acting as natural "detergents". Emollient, laxative, mucilaginous and astringent properties aid the body in clearing away old debris. Many herbs work on the physiology of the liver, kidney, bowel, lungs, lymph and skin. These are organs of
cleansing. We clean the plaque off our teeth every day this plaque secretes acid strong enough to dissolve the hardest substance in the human body enamel. The waste products in our bodies
are very similar; they can corrode organs, glands, tissues, nerves and bone just as readily. Cleansing of these waste products are vital, and more vital in today's world with the addition of chemicals, preservatives, colourings and "foods" grown from depleted, poisoned soils. We clean
our houses, we clean our bodies, and our hospitals isn't it wise to also cleanse our insides?
4.
BALANCE: Herbs also balance. Human beings are biologically complex no scientific laboratory can reproduce the wholeness of nature, there is no wonder drug to improve on nature's plan.
Herbs are also biologically complex and are ideally suited to the human physiology. Our bodies have a homeostatic balance which requires the correct organic elements to achieve its perfection. Well chosen herbs supply the raw materials to create the correct acid to alkaline ratio
upon which all life depends. Minerals, cofactors and active principles have supported the physiological design for over one million years. After the 90 day intensive period on the herbal programme it is advised to follow a balancing programme to restore equilibrium and maintain
your health changes. In Chinese traditional medicine there is a saying "the inferior doctor treats
actual sickness the mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness the superior doctor prevents sickness". To be empowered in this world we can tap into our own wisdom and the use
of natural remedies.

Stage One
This is the stage of the programme when you alter the diet and introduce the herbal, homoeopathic and other natural formulas as recommended. Usually there is wonderful progress. Each day you feel better and stronger and each day feel less pain and disability. Every day is a progress
day.
Stage Two
This stage is marked by apparent setbacks. Suddenly for no apparent reason symptoms return or you
are on the move. These toxins do not just miraculously disappear. They have to go somewhere and as the eliminative channels are working better due to the programme, the body uses these channels to get rid of stored toxins and mucus waste.
Often healing occurs from inside out, from above down, and in the reverse order in which they first
appeared. This is a time to be kind to yourself and support your body's attempt to heal things that were
you may feel these again as toxins move these are called "liberation pains" and can last from 1 to 3 weeks and sometimes longer. Skin symptoms can become worse or return for a time.
Stage Three
This is the stage of final recovery. This stage in itself is a series of smaller stages, sometimes with minor
Things to Remember
It takes five to seven times the normal amount of nutrition to build and repair than it does to maintain. Complete mineral saturation is important both to build new tissue and maintain the new changes. I
recommend New Zealand Herbals Mineral Max as the best complete source of minerals, vitamins and trace elements. Eat 3 good meals per day. Sugar and junk food, coffee and tea deplete the body's mineral reserves and
will set back or halt your progress.
Nothing chronic heals in the body in less than three months. Even though symptoms may disappear, to achieve a longer lasting healing it is best to continue the programme for at least three months. Page 8 of 120
process.
Stay away from negative people during your this time many people will not understand what it is you
are going through, and wellmeaning but negative comments will feed the doubts and denials in your own mind. Healing time is sacred time. Choose to be alone or only with people who will truly support
your process.
Unfortunately many of the people in supposedly helping and professional positions can be the most
undermining. Read good books and get to understand the inner process. Do this with joy knowing that

diet. They can be taken direct or with water or vegetable juice. Formulas taken by drops are best used direct. Cleansing herbs are best on an empty stomach. They can be used on a short, cleansing
fast under strict supervision. They are not to be relied upon as "food", or as prolonged stimulants or
sedatives. In this case herbs would be taking an inappropriate role. 6. The reaction of the 5 senses is a good barometer of the appropriate remedy. In general herbs should taste good, smell good, and feel good. An unfavourable or bad sensory reaction to a herb generally indicates that the herb is not suited to your physiology. Exceptions to this rule are the "bitter" herbs
which should taste bitter but not "bad". For this reason some New Zealand Herbals herbs are in liquid form. Others, where the taste is not so important, are in preservative free gelatine capsules which
like putting a football team in the same field as a basketball team. They may have different purposes
and "rules". Well chosen single remedies can be used with combination formulas. A good rule of
thumb is to wait one second before using each formula. 8. Do not combine prescription drugs and herbs together. Keep them at least one hour apart.
9. Never take cleansing herbs when pregnant unless under strict supervision. Always consult expert
chronic base.
11. Please take responsibility for any cleansing reactions you may experience and please report any
changes in health. If in doubt, discontinue the programme until you receive expert guidance.
12. Like foods, herbs can be overdone or used inappropriately. Your attitude to them, and the decisions you make regarding the use of herbs, affects their ultimate effectiveness. They are your "allies" to be

Blood Purification
Blood purification is a poorly understood term and often confused in medical areas where specific tests are made to determine known chemical, hormonal and blood lipid factors etc. While this does describe
an impure or unbalanced blood stream and does indicate other areas of concern, the herbal and naturopathic concept of blood purification covers a much broader field. An impure blood stream is always an effect showing symptoms of imbalance elsewhere in the body. Current medical tests on the whole cannot determine subclinical levels of blood conditions. Indeed there are many conditions such as
eczema, headaches, arthritis, vascular diseases, and fatigue which are considered by herbalists to have their origins in the blood stream.
The organs of elimination, the liver, kidney, bowel, lymph, skin and lungs all share functions of blood purification which involve filtering out metabolic wastes and other poisons from our internal environment
properties.
A blood purifying programme is one which supports the function of the eliminative organs. It is also much more than that. A healthy blood stream is also a more efficient one. Cells are able to receive the
nourishment they need to function at their best. At its basic expression disease begins in the cell. By providing the cells with high quality nutrient levels
and facilitating efficient drainage of waste, the cell is able to work to the efficiency for which it was
minerals and trace elements essential to the cell and its environment, e.g. sodium phosphate to neutralise lactic and uric acid, toxic to muscles and joints, sodium sulphate to control the flow of fluids
including water and bile, potassium phosphate for the brain, nerves, muscles and blood, potassium chloride for the connective tissues and stomach secretions, potassium sulphate and iron for oxygenation, calcium salts for nerves, bones, teeth, new cell formation and connective tissue, magnesium salts for the
brain, silica for hair skin and nails, assimilation of nutrients and to remove pathogenic (harmful) waste.
All these minerals and more are found in blood purifying herbs known broadly in herbal medicine as
"alteratives".
Alteratives have therapeutic action on the healthy functions of all the cleansing and filtering organs of physiology. The term implies that the properties of the blood are gradually being changed from unhealthy to healthy. In reality toxins and wastes are being filtered out, microbial poisons are being killed, vital salts are being adjusted and balanced, nutrients are being furnished and important plasma substances are
a herbal programme goes best alongside a healthy daily diet and routine. Herbal remedies concentrate these elements and to some degree compensate when the diet and daily routine are not up to scratch or
living conditions make it impossible. They have been foods and medicines for over a million years of
human existence.

ew Zealand Herbals Blood Purifying Tonic is specially designed to enhance your bodys own natural ability to cleanse itself from damaging toxins. Your body naturally produces toxic wastes due to
cellular activity, but the level of contamination can be considerably increased due to certain lifestyle factors and medical conditions. Those who have poor diets, or consume foods which contain toxic
pesticides and other contaminants usually have increased contaminants within their blood.
The organs of the body which remove these toxins include the liver, kidneys, bowels, lymphatic system, skin, and lungs. However, these organs can become over burdened if too much toxicity exists within the
blood, all of which leads to illness and disease. Each one of your bodies 100 trillion cells requires adequate nutrition and waste removal to ensure that
the process of cellular division can occur efficiently and correctly. A cell that is sick will also produce an unhealthy cell to take its place. The use of a blood purifying tonic helps to ensure that the bodys natural waste removal system is performing at its best, this reduces the amount of damaging toxic waste and
too much toxicity into the blood will mean that the full benefits of the remedy cannot be realised.
New Zealand Herbals Blood Purifying Tonic is made from only the finest quality ingredients, ensuring
you get is powerful and effective. Herbs contained within the remedy include:
Burdock Root: This herb has a strong cleansing action for the blood and lymphatic systems. It
clears congestion, and reduces swelling by dispersing toxins though the skin, kidneys and bowels. It has proven to be particularly useful for urinary tract infections as well as skin and joint
conditions.
Dandelion Root: Dandelion has a cleansing effect on some of the elimination organs, including the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and bowels. It also increases the secretion of digestive
enzymes and bile. It has long been known as a supreme liver detoxifier.
Echinacea: Echinacea enhances the bodys natural resistance to bacteria and viruses by being a
catalyse to the bodys white blood cells. negative It is also a natural antidote to many of the
spasms and inflammation. It has a healing effect on all the bodys mucus surfaces. It helps to liquefy and expel toxic mucus from the body. It is also a mild laxative which soothes and tones the mucus membranes. It also aids the removal of excess toxins found within the bowels. Sarsaparilla: Sarsaparilla helps to remove any impurities from the urinogenital tract, dispelling
any infections or inflammation that may exist. It also improves digestion and helps to dispel
toxins in the gastro intestinal tract due to its gentle laxative effects.
Red Clover: Red Clover is rich in micronutrients and posses several properties which make it an effective antibacterial agent for certain types of bacteria (including the pathogen that causes
tuberculosis). It is rich in many vitamins and minerals. Oregon Grape: This herb is widely used to treat certain skin diseases that are caused by toxins found within the blood. It also stimulates the liver and is a mild stimulant of the thyroid gland.
New Zealand Herbals Blood Purifying Tonic is beneficial in the treatment of a number of skin diseases (especially inflammatory skin disease such as psoriasis and eczema), as well as the treatment of painful
joint conditions. It also aids in reducing lymphatic congestion and to treat people who have been
remedies.
Typical Dose: 10mls twice daily or 3 capsules twice daily.

Bowel Cleansing
Cleansing and detoxification are essential aspects of all of Nature's domain. Creatures, trees, plants, rivers and seas all have natural purifying cycles without which this would be a dead world or a very sick
one.
Nobel prize winner Dr Alexis Carrol in 1911 demonstrated in the laboratory that if living tissue was fed every day with a nutrient solution and the wastes washed away, the tissue thrived. If the wastes were not washed away the cells gradually deteriorated. Dr Carroll managed to keep this tissue alive in the laboratory for thirty years until one time the assistant neglected to clean it and it was dead within four
days.
The intestinal system is a long system of winding tubes around six meters in length from mouth to anus.
It has many folds and crevices where blockages and wastes remain. If you can imagine the average
New Zealand diet and put all that daily bread, potatoes, chips, cheese, milk and flour into a blender you would have the finest wallpaper glue. This material eventually lines the wall of the large bowel and forms layers of hard mucus, pus and sludge, forming a fertile breeding ground for harmful bacteria. The large intestine (the colon) is a permeable membrane and its permeability is damaged by the actions
of bacteria and parasites irritating the mucosa and secreting their waste. This waste infiltrates through
the intestinal mucosa and permeates cells, tissues, organs and glands often in genetically weakened
the sinuses, or lungs. If this is not successful it will move to the subacute stage where some toxins will build up and be stored. Eventually it will become chronic, and active disease will manifest.
For any disease to show, it has been there many years and there have been signs and symptoms,
however subtle. The mismanagement of these stages has been the greatest error of our time and very expensive in term of money spent and lives lost.
According to Dr Bernard Jenson, a renowned Naturopath and regarded as the "Father of modern
Naturopathy", disease begins in the colon. In treating over 300,000 patients he has found that it is the bowel that has to be taken care of first before any effective healing takes place.
A healthy bowel should move three times daily and the results should be the consistency of a ripe
banana. There should be little odour and normally it should move soon after every meal. Even when the bowel moves daily it is no sign that there isn't toxic waste present lining the membrane walls. Ideal transit time is around 1214 hours. When it is longer than this period of time, if junk food has been eaten, fresh vegetables, raw food, and adequate water have not been consumed, and food combining
principles neglected, the bowel has a tendency to become dry, and material sticks to the walls. The resultant toxic sludge has many chemical names such as cadavarene, indole and skatole. The names
are not important the understanding is this; within a healthy bowel there is an intestinal flora containing
around 80% beneficial bacteria. These bacteria help to create an environment where minerals are
absorbed and some vitamins are synthesised. When the intestinal flora is unbalanced, harmful bacteria
material and move them naturally and effortlessly. All the bodily tissues benefit.

Regular Bowel
egular Bowel contains a number of herbs that may aid in the relief of constipation without creating a dependency. Its natural cleansing action effects both the bowel and liver.
If you eat three meals daily then your bowels should move three times daily. constipation
Sometimes
can still be present even if the bowel moves once a day. Constipation is common cause of many health
problems since build up within the bowels causes toxic materials (of a similar texture to wallpaper paste)
to accumulate on the bowel walls which in turn effects the tissues and causes some of these toxins to

prepared properly, this herb acts as one of the finest natural laxatives within the herb world.
Meaning sacred bark in Spanish, it has been used for many hundreds of years as a nonhabit
forming natural laxative. Cascara stimulates the action of the liver which in turn releases bile which
then acts to encourage peristalsis (the natural rhythmic movements of the intestine to eliminate
Ginger Root: Ginger has been used worldwide as an aromatic carminative and pungent
appetite stimulator. In India, and in other countries with hot and humid climates, ginger is eaten daily and is well known to assist in digestive problems. Ginger is a strong stimulant, and can aid in reducing gastric and intestinal pain, it is also a sedative to an irritated and overwrought system (particularly when there is extreme exhaustion). It can also
overcome flatulence and can quickly relive flatulent colic while promoting renewed structural activity
and tone.
Liquorice Root: Liquorice is a natural antiinflammatory which aids in the relief of muscles spasms and inflammation. It has a healing effect on all the bodys mucus surfaces. It helps to liquefy and expel toxic mucus from the body. It is also a mild laxative which soothes and tones the mucus membranes. It also aids the removal of excess toxins found within the bowels. It is also added to
this remedy to reduce the drying tendency of cascara and to distribute the formula evenly. Typical Dose: One to two capsules each night. For stubborn constipation up to four capsules may be
taken to establish a regular rhythm. Once a rhythm is achieved, cut back on the number of capsules you
consume.

Pro Cleanse
ro Cleanse is a product designed to promote healthy bowel flora, regularity and general immunity.
We clean the plaque from our teeth every day why not clean our insides?
A proper intestinal flora and cleanliness is essential for the restoration of optimum health. Any imbalance of intestinal acidity and flora ensures the build up of disease producing microorganisms including yeasts
and fungi. A fully functioning bowel with appropriate acidity and flora levels prevents diseases such as wind, gas, irritable bowel syndromes, diverticuli and bowel cancer.
A well balanced intestinal flora has been shown to have an interactive function on the bodys immune system and stimulate powerful defence cells such as lymhocytes, phagocytes and anti viral chemicals like interferon. Bowel flora restoration and intestinal cleansing and harmony is the single most important

Barley Grass: Barley grass is rich in all the essential amino acids, antioxidant vitamins, live enzymes, minerals and chlophyll which helps to purify the and detoxify major body systems including
Alfalfa Leaf: Meaning father of all foods from Arabic The Arabs considered alfalfa so nutritious it was regarded as a staple food. The rich chlorophyll content of the fine powdered green leaves of this
legume contain eight essential enzymes, all known vitamins and a variety of minerals in a balanced form including calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
Psyllium Hulls: Psyllium hulls is well known amongst herbalists as the best, safest, and most gentle
laxative. It swells to around 10 times its size when mixed with sufficient water to become gelatinous.
The herb's mucilage accounts for its use in treating both diarrhoea and constipation. This bulk
forming action increases stool volume and triggers natural peristalsis, the wave like contractions we recognise as "the urge". Psyllium's waterabsorbing action decreases stool density and helps
lubricate its passage. Clinical studies have demonstrated that pysllium reduces cholesterol by 5% and reduces the risk of heart attack. It helps protect intestinal damage from toxic food additives and absorbs bacteria and other toxins, soothes inflamed mucus membranes and moistens dryness. It has been used historically to treat diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, urinary problems and more recently, high
blood pressure.
Slippery Elm: Slippery elm has the ability to neutralise stomach acdity and to absorb foul gases. It aids in the digestion of milk and acts as a buffer against irritations and inflammations of the mucus
membranes. It has the ability to remove cattarh ( toxic mucus) with a stronger action than other
herbs.
Pro Cleanse can be beneficial in general feeling of cleanliness, immunity, energy, lowering serum cholesterol and inhibiting to developing intestinal tumours. Nonspecific interactions with the immune system, may assist in metabolising lactose and reducing lactose intolerance, improving the absorption of

Reno
eno contains a number of herbs that have traditionally been used to treat problems of the kidneys
and bladder. Reno may assist with urinary tract infections, enlargement of the prostate, cystitis, kidney related back problems, bedwetting, kidney fatigue, allergies, and burning urine.
New Zealand Herbals Reno formula is made from completely organic and pesticide free ingredients, ensuring you get the finest quality remedy in the strongest possible strength. Herbs contained within this
remedy include:
Buchu: This herb has a healing effect on all complaints of the genitourinary tract. It has disinfecting
properties and removes excess uric acid which in turn reduces bladder irritations, scalding urine, and
aids in the relief of urinary tract infections. It has also been used to treat prostatitis.
Couch Grass: Couch grass is well known by herbalists for its beneficial effects on the
urinary system. It is especially useful in the treatment of cystitis and catarrhal diseases of the bladder.
It contains antibiotic properties as well as a number of minerals and vitamins (such as silicon,
and autoimmune diseases, but its best benefits are seen over long term consumption.
Traditionally, it was used by the American Indians to treat skin diseases and blood purification.
Liquorice Root: Liquorice is a natural antiinflammatory which aids in the relief of muscles spasms and inflammation. It has a healing effect on all the bodys mucus surfaces. It helps to liquefy and expel toxic mucus from the body. It is also a mild laxative which soothes and tones the mucus
membranes. It also aids the removal of excess toxins found within the bowels. The herb can also

Minerals
The common denominator in ill health
Page 18 of 120
Minerals are essential to all life and their deficiencies are the common denominator in all disease.
Structurally they are constituents of bone, connective tissue and cell membranes. They stabilise cell
membranes and fluids. They have an electrochemical role by regulating acid\alkaline balance, osmosis
and electrical potential. Metabolically, they act as enzyme activators and affect almost all metabolic
processed per second. Complete mineral saturation in the body is essential for all bodily processes and for healing to occur. All other treatments, without taking into account these essential elements, will only be partially effective or eventually fail.
Only plants have the ability to efficiently extract minerals from the soil in a way that is bioavailable to the
human body. All higher organisms in the food chain depend either directly or indirectly on mineralrich
agricultural practices do not allow for proper soil humus regeneration, and chemical fertilisers, insecticides etc. further add to the toxic burden and mask soil deficiencies. In a recent 4 year study of
1000 crop samples taken from farms in 11 Midwestern States of U.S.A., analysis showed that food
mineral levels declined on average over 42% over 4 years! However, on organic farms these trends are
reversed.
By examining early human bones the archaeological evidence shows that from Palaeolithic times bone density was several times that of modern humans. These individuals lived in a mineral rich environment
where the animals and plants, including wild herbs, provided complete and wholesome nutrients. Anyone
who has read "Clan of the Cave Bear" will appreciate that archaeological research has proved that early diets contained by far more nutrients per day than the average daily New Zealand diet.
Today everyone can be seen to be mineral deficient and having metabolic defects to some degree, often
genetically transmitted and made worse by stress and poorer soils. Even when a patient is diagnosed to be deficient in one or more minerals, e.g. zinc, calcium, iodine etc., it is not enough to supplement just
needed, while calcium tablets will make the situation worse through absorption problems. Indeed single
mineral tablets do not take our biological complexity into account and vitamins cannot be adequately

properly assimilated and utilised. The efficiency of each mineral is enhanced by balanced amounts
of other minerals.
3. The body must maintain an adequate mineral supply to maintain a balance between internal and
external pressure of the body cells (called osmotic equilibrium). normal cell function and continued youthful health.
4. All nutrients such as vitamins, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, sugars, and oils require minerals for activity. All bodily processes depend upon the action of minerals!

disrupt the entire chain of life, rendering other nutrients either useless or inefficient.
11. The concept brought forth by French scientists concerning the biological transmutations of the elements within the body makes it understandable as to why the body needs the broad range of

Mineral Max

Balances the glandular system. Has a factor in the colour and texture of hair. Stimulates the circulatory system.

Iron
The Frisky Horse
Page 25 of 120
Iron is considered the "Frisky Horse" of nutrients. A single atom of iron can increase the rate of the
activity of the enzyme catalyse from 50 to about 100,000 molecules processed per second. Iron imparts
energy and aliveness. In the biodynamic system of Rudolf Steiner, iron is considered to help bring the Will and Soul force into the body. Iron is an essential component of the central molecule of haemoglobin, the red blood cell, which carries energy giving oxygen to your brain, muscles, bone and other vital organs. Individuals with insufficient healthy haemoglobin are often tired, depressed, have difficulty breathing, and have lacklustre skin and
hair.
Iron is an essential nutrient for all ages. Women need at least twice as much iron as men due to
menstrual loss, and more than half of women in New Zealand have some degree of iron deficiency.
Iron in some ways is a difficult mineral to absorb without many cofactors present such as healthy thyroid and parathyroid glands, healthy liver for iron storage, vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid, calcium, cobalt,
older.
Children today are at risk of iron deficiency due to the rapid growth to adolescence. Pregnant women need extra iron, and also after the birth if there is excessive blood loss. Breast feeding mothers also
have a need for extra iron. Strict vegetarians are also at risk as absorption is impaired by whole grains, soya and other products. An area seldom considered but remarkably common is the iron deficiency caused by various intestinal
parasites such as hookworm, roundworms and pinworms, and some of the smaller less visible parasites.
All these show clearly in the iris of the eye as black, grey or white "spokes" radiating out from the pupil termed "radii solaris".
Iron supplementation is thus justified along with an adequate dietary intake due to the very common occurrence of iron deficiency in our community. Iron tablets may not be efficient as supplemental forms of iron because they may not contain the augmenting nutrients necessary for its absorption, and
oftentimes the tablet does not dissolve in time to be absorbed in the duodenum the primary site of iron uptake. Inorganic iron can also constipate and interfere with the utilisation of vitamin E. Iron is absorbed by the body in the iron 2 state. If iron is converted in the digestive tract to the iron 3 state it is not absorbed and acts to cause constipation. This is a common effect from iron tablets.
New Zealand Herbals Herbal Iron is rapidly absorbed, has no toxic side effects and has the advantage of containing the augmenting nutrients and cofactors that make it a quality supplement second to none.

Asthma
What is asthma? Asthma is a condition marked by recurrent attacks of wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath associated with a narrowing of the bronchial airways. These symptoms are typically
interspersed with symptom free intervals. The persons bronchial tubes constrict excessively often in
response to various external stimuli and become inflamed along with the tissues surrounding them. Types Of Asthma
There are three main types of Asthma. I call the nervous or stress induced, the inflammatory and the
catarrhal.
Nervous Asthma is bought about by psychological stress and is characterised by dry cough and wheezing. Additional symptoms are thirst, dry mouth, dry skin, constipation, anxiety and craving for
warm drinks. Attacks are predominantly at the beginning of the day or at the end of it but can happen
any time.
The Nervous asthmatic is aggravated by chemicals such as food colourings and preservatives. White sugar including all its hidden sources are also often involved such as biscuits, lollies and chocolate. Inflammatory asthma is characterised by cough and wheezing with yellow mucus. There is often pain in the chest and other symptoms such as fever, sweating, irritability and the need for cool air. Attacks are often at noon and midnight. The inflammatory Asthma is aggravated by household chemicals and prone to many allergies such as house dust mite, pollens, moulds, fungal spores, animals and the salicylates found in several foods.
Catarrhal Asthma is characterised by cough and wheezing with abundant clear or white mucus or
phlegm. The lungs may have a rattling sound and attacks are often in the morning and the evening.
The catarrhal Asthma is aggravated by heavy textured foods and especially by dairy products and the
gluten in wheat.
(these types of Asthma can overlap by one or more making a total of seven Identifiable types )
Causes of Asthma
Common allergens such as house dust mites, animal fibre and dust and moulds and cigarette smoke 13% or 450,000 New Zealanders with asthma the third highest rate of asthma in the world. New
increases the risk. These things are but triggers and are not the actual cause of asthma.
Zealand spends around $112 million dollars on asthma drugs per annum. Each hospital admission for asthma under the age of 18 costs around $1400 per stay. In total asthma care costs public hospitals $23 million a year, as much as heart surgery.
There are also the hidden costs; the time lost at work and school, home care nursing and the
endless extra medication costs for associated colds flu allergies and other affections that the asthma sufferer is prone to. Asthma is made worse by current habits including diet, lifestyle, social and family conditions.
Asthma is often associated allergies such as hay fever, low immunity, low energy, eczema and a
Acute asthma is generally regarded as the actual attack where symptoms are present. Here professional
care is needed.
Subacute asthma is where there is a tendency only and symptoms are relatively few. Time and a

Degenerative level; here the asthma has been medicated over a period of several years and the individual has consumed relatively large amounts of steroids and or other aggravating factors such as
Basic Causes
Before looking at the causes of asthma lets look at the basic premise of Hippocrates the Greek
physician of the 5th Century B.C. today known as the "Father of medicine".
"It appears to me necessary to every physician to be skilled in Nature and to strive to know, if he would wish to perform his duties, what man is in relation to his food and drink and to his other occupations and what are the effects of each of them on everyone. Whoever does not know what effect these things produce upon a man cannot know the consequences which result from them. Whoever pays no attention to these things, or , paying attention, does not comprehend them, how can he know the diseases which befall man? For by every one of these things a man is affected and changed this way and that , and that the whole of his life is subjected to them whether in health, convalescence or disease. Nothing else
then, can be more important and necessary to know than these things". Food and drink: Almost all asthma is aggravated by certain foods and drink. Each type by a particular
group:
On the whole asthma is improved when the diet contains plenty of fresh vegetable and some fresh fruits the sulphur containing vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, onions and garlic.
Common foods known to aggravate asthma are; white flour including that in biscuits, bread, waffles, doughnuts pastries, crackers, spaghetti, macaroni, dumplings, noodles. Dairy products are distinctly mucus forming that includes cheese and ice cream. Hot chocolate or cocoa prepared with milk and condensed milk. red peppers and other salicylate containing foods such as dried sultanas, prunes,
raisins, currants. Tomato products, tea and alcohols such as liqueur, port, wine and rum.
A number of chemicals can also trigger an asthma attack. Avoid metabisulphate found in soft drinks, fruit juices, wine, some dried fruit and fruit bars, pickles, pickled onions, potato chips, sausages and
sausage meat.
Monosodium glutamate found in Asian food (particularly in soy sauce). Commercially prepared savoury
the bronchial tubes. The acids generated caused reflex spasm of the bronchial airways.
Other Causes of Asthma THE SPINE
When certain spinal nerves become irritated by incorrect articulation from injuries, genetic tendencies,
posture habits and misuse they affect the optimum function of organs glands and tissues including the lungs and bronchials. Osteopathic treatment is a valuable adjunct to the herbal programme.
Page 32 of 120
INCORRECT BREATHING
Most asthmatics are shallow breathers who breathe from the intercostal muscles of the ribs rather than
from the diaphram as is the proper way to breathe. WORMS
Parasites are involved in some cases of asthma. The science of Iridology can readily determine whether
worms are involved as a or part cause of the asthma. DISORDERED UPPER DIGESTIVE MOTILITY
Many clinical studies have shown a relationship to low hydrochloric acid and gastric reflux syndrome in Asthma. Poor stomach secretion of hydrochloric acid results in difficulty with protein breakdown. Treatment of oesophageal reflux, common in asthma and hiatus hernia has improved asthmatic
symptoms.

we have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis. Dairy products are not necessarily good sources of calcium because it is meant for calves, and human
beings are the only animals who consume dairy products after their first teeth. The calcium in cows' milk is much coarser than in human milk and is tied up with casein. This prevents the calcium from being absorbed. Also the pasteurising, homogenising or other processing involved degrades the calcium making it very difficult to utilise. Cows' milk simply is not designed for humans. The cow itself doesn't get
calcium. One of the main functions of calcium is to neutralise acid in the system, yet all dairy products except butter are extremely acidforming. The more these substances are consumed the more calcium is used to neutralise the effects of the dairy products.
Yet for calcium to be consumed there still needs to be a number of factors present; ample hydrochloric acid in the stomach, healthy thyroid\parathyroid function, adequate hormone ratios of oestrogen to
progesterone, and sufficient exercise are just some of them. WOMEN WHO ARE MOST LIKELY TO HAVE EXCESS BONE LOSS : Woman tend to be more prone to osteoporosis, especially if they:

Withania: Withania is a mild sedative with antiinflammatory and immune balancing properties. A popular herb in Ayurvedic, Unani and ancient Indian medicine, the root of the plant is commonly

The roots are commonly thought to contain a sedative which calms the body and mind. Withania is often used in natural aphrodisiac formulas to increase erectile function and enhance sex
drive in both men and women. During periods of long term stress (both physical and mental) withania can prove to be particularly beneficial. This is mainly due to the adaptogens (biologically active substances found within plants which help the body deal with stress) which are contained
within withania which also provides the body with an immune boost.
Research in the 1970s showed that certain properties within withania may be beneficial during cancer treatment. Withania has also been linked to increased hemoglobin levels and iron levels

however it can metastasise to the bones causing bone cancer. Common in men 40 and above (15% of
all 40 year old men have it) and at the age of 80 virtually every male has it.
SOME POSSIBLE CAUSES: 1. Lower bowel toxicity. The civilised diet of large amounts of white bread, white flour, sugar, coffee,
tea, and chemical preservatives, colourings, emulsifying agents etc. form toxic residue in the lower bowel and beyond. The prostate is very near to this permeable membrane and toxic seepage occurs,
cigarette smoking, agricultural chemicals, pesticides, high fat, high meat and cholesterol metabolites.
3. Hormonal: The fall of testosterone levels with increasing age and the consequent excess of less
favourable hormones such as prolactin, and oestradiol 4. Mineral and other nutrient deficiencies: Zinc has been shown to reduce the size of the prostate and
has a critical role in the metabolism of male hormones. Much zinc is lost in the seminal fluid over time. Selenium, essential fatty acids, glycine and alanine have been shown also to be essential
nutrients for the prostate. 5. Spinal subluxations: Disorders of the 4th lumber vertebra.

Often times it is difficult to get children to consume good nourishing foods especially if the parents do not. There are many temptations to consume "empty" foods such as biscuits, cakes, sugar and

Children are very susceptible to developing allergies especially during the first 6 months of life when the digestive system is not fully developed. These early patterns become problems later on in life as mucus builds up and is eliminated vicariously through the sinus, lungs, and skin. The most insidious effect of catarrhal build up is the effect of the acid waste on the developing nervous system. This can result early or late as behaviour problems, hyperactivity, naughtiness, fatigue, irritability, and attention deficiencies.
The frontal lobes of the brain require first class nutrition and with today's food it is almost impossible to obtain all the minerals and trace elements needed for healthy brain development.

New Zealands hidden epidemic
Page 56 of 120
here are over 100 varieties of parasites that affect human beings in New Zealand and infected
individuals are extremely common. Many species of parasites show no socioeconomic boundaries
and may be found as commonly in the city dweller as on the country farm. The adult female roundworm
in a dog's intestine can release as much as 200,000 eggs per day, and many of these animal parasites
my practice not to confront several cases per day. The average life cycle of the parasite is around 6 weeks and the remedies used during this whole period
of time must be toxic to the parasite and non toxic to the patient. Parasites can be as small as yeast
infections (termed Candida) or amoebic such as giardia, a little larger such as thread or pin worms, as
big as a large nail such as some of the round worms, or even up to 3 metres long such as the tape
worm.
Once worms are in the body they can do four things. They can:
1. Cause damage by poisoning with their toxic waste (termed verminous intoxication), including
introducing viruses and bacteria which literally "piggy back" on their bodies.
2. Rob us of certain nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids. Some worms feed on red blood cells.
Drowsiness after meals is another sign of worm infestation. 3. Block or damage certain organs by clumping together in a ball. 4. Create physical damage by perforating the intestinal mucosa, lungs and liver. Worms can literally

particularly during the full moon. They may snore, have abdominal pain, diarrhoea, lung infections, eye
infections, blood sugar imbalances, weight loss and fatigue. One, some, or all of these symptoms may
be present.
In many cases the adult individual may have developed a sort of coexistence where symptoms are not
obvious or adequately diagnosed, and may experience anything from annoying seasonal hay fever,
colds and flu to asthma and chronic fatigue. In some cases worse diseases may follow. Parasites can be present in any disease and many individuals with parasitic infections are also

Sugar
here is nothing more insidious than the over consumption of sugar. Sugar is pure white and deadly,
and its effects on the physiology can be devastating. Sugar depletes the body of minerals and
vitamins especially calcium and vitamin B. Is it any surprise that these are primarily concerned with the nerves and the digestion?
Human consumption of sugar has increased over 100fold in the last 100 years until today we consume about our body weight of sugar per annum! Sugar has a taxing effect on the pancreas by creating first a rise in blood sugar and then an overcompensating low. This can result in depression, general
worse. One only needs to see the children's behaviour the day after a birthday party with its traditional
Refined carbohydrates on the other hand provide little or no means for their adequate utilisation by the body, but provide instead, short term energy and fat.
The pancreas is an endocrine gland which secretes insulin for the assimilation of sugar to the cells.
When the pancreas is overburdened, its digestive capacity is weakened, and acid stomach and enzyme
deficiency results. As much of our diseases are associated with inadequate or toxic digestive processes,
the over consumption of sugar has far reaching effects not always obvious to the sufferer.
Sugar also stresses the adrenal glands resulting in nervous energy or chronic fatigue. Inflammation is
aggravated by sugar, especially inflammation of the joints, muscles and mucus membranes. By feeding on sugar and refined carbohydrates the plaque bacteria in the mouth secrete acids which can dissolve even the hardest substance in the human body tooth enamel. Is it any surprise that it can do the same within the physiology?
Overall, sugar is acid forming, and by depleting the body of alkaline mineral reserves and the B complex
vitamins, bodily stress can manifest in a number of ways such as irritability, fatigue, overweight, muscle and joint discomfort, repetitive strain, yeast and fungus infections.
Sugar masks a craving for natural protein and can vicariously compensate for lack of self esteem or love. Mothers' milk is sweet, and whether or not the individual was breastfed, there is an innate craving for the
sweet taste when sweet is associated with love and nurturing. Manufacturers take full advantage of this
addictive quality when processing foods, often placing the most sweet and tasty morsels at children's eye and hand level. We call our loved ones "sweetie" and "honey", unlike the ancient Egyptians who called their wives "onions" which are also very sweet when cooked. These sweet foods are rich in the

Schisandra: Traditionally used in Chinese medicine to strengthen the lungs, kidneys, and
adrenal
glands. It is also said to calm the spirit and is used so accordingly in the natural treatment of
insomnia, palpitations, and forgetfulness. The lignans found in schisandra help to improve concentration, fine coordination skills, and sensitivity in young children. Improvements in vision, hearing, and a reduction in fatigue have also been seen from the consumption of this herb. Finally, this herb also appears to elevate liver microsomes which in turn increase the livers ability to detoxify foreign substances within the body.
Rosemary Oil: Rosemary stimulates the circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems. In particular, it
has been found that rosemary has a strong effect on the brain, clearing thought and memory (partly due to its positive effect on the blood supply to the brain).
Not only does rosemary have a beneficial affect on a number of the bodies systems, it also is a good
source for vitamins A and C. It also contains large amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc.
Cayenne: Cayenne can help to stimulate blood flow and strengthen the heart, arteries, capillaries,
exhaustion or sexual dysfunction (which includes low libido (sex drive), impotence, etc.). Its Sanskrit name is Ashwaganda which means giving the power and vigour of a horse. Typical Dose: Five to ten drops three times daily. This remedy is most effective if taken over a period of ninety days or more.

The ancient Chinese discovered acupuncture points fillings and root fillings) can affect the autoimmune system, creating a host of seemingly unrelated
problems.
When in health the teeth and gums have a normal balance and resistance to decay through a remarkable system of homeostasis. Animals in the wild seldom get tooth decay, and in the
archaeological records our early ancestors, though showing signs of tremendous wear, tooth decay was
relatively rare. Ancient and so called primitive cultures managed to thrive for great periods without the
dentist's drill or fillings. How these cultures discovered natural techniques to care for and preserve teeth
and gums is part of the object of this article, and to demonstrate that this knowledge is available today.
Even your dentist probably knows it but hasn't the time to demonstrate it thoroughly, or perhaps the reliance on fluoride and improved dental techniques has made it of lesser importance within a clinical
practice. Prevention is the key word and if only individuals knew more about simple dental techniques
such as correct brushing and simple commonly available herbs and spices, even household salt and
baking soda, there would be far less of, arguably, one of New Zealand's greatest tragedies tooth decay and its predisposing condition gingivitis (gum inflammation). The mouth, including all mucosa (soft tissue), inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, tongue, gums and teeth all have an integral homeostatic balance. The correct P.H. (acid/alkaline balance) is essential, as well as
proper mineralization and cleansing, to maintain the healthy flora and minimise harmful pathogens.
Disease and decayproducing bacteria which form colonies in the gingival margins (the space between
the tooth and the gum), and between the teeth, secrete toxic acids corrosive enough to dissolve the hardest substance in the human body enamel of the teeth. The enamel is not the only thing they damage however once decay sets into the tooth, toxins travel right into the interior of the tooth and find their way further down the dentine to the very root nerve and eventually to infect the body's system
through the blood stream. However, the blood stream is already affected by the plaque bacteria within the gingival margins. The metabolism of the mouth is probably one of the fastest in all our physiology.
By the time it takes you to read this sentence nearly all the cells lining the mucus membrane of your
mouth will have been destroyed and regenerated. How effective this process is for the rest of the oral
environment is up to you. The importance of proper dental hygiene cannot be underestimated. Cleaning
of the teeth and gums is a simple and natural process. However the laws of natural hygiene need to be followed correctly if one is to have beautiful shining teeth and gums free from decay or gingivitis for the
In short, it prevents or reduces decay. When this pellicle is not present, or present in a denatured form,
there is plaque buildup. Plaque is a collection of food and bacterial remains, carbohydrates and proteins that harbour pathogens which secrete acid on to the tooth surfaces and mucus membranes causing
irritation, inflammation and decay. The enamel itself is particularly decay resistant if it is fully saturated with the correct mineral balance, particularly calcium, fluoride and phosphate in their ionic forms, along with all the micronutrients and minerals needed for their stability. This is the third line of protection, the
first being saliva, and the second, the pellicle. Saliva needs to be first alkaline to create a proper protective pellicle, and to do this it must have adequate alkalineforming mineral salts in dissolved solution. If the individual is mineral deficient, which is almost invariably the case, and acidforming foods
are consumed, the saliva will tend to be acid, and the pellicle will have some difficulty in forming an
Page 68 of 120
adequate protective layer. Once the plaque has set in between the teeth and gingival margins even on
the surface of the tongue and inside lining of the cheeks, along with an inadequate pellicle protection, the bacteria feeding on food waste excrete their wastes on to the tooth and gingival surfaces creating
demineralisation or decay.
An Alkaline Saliva
For a healthy oral environment, including the teeth and gums, a number supporting healthy tissue, saliva, pellicle, gum and enamel. Arguably the establish a proper alkaline saliva. To create an alkaline saliva the diet alkalineforming foods and 20% acidforming foods. These foods need to of steps are efficacious in most important step is to needs to have around 80% be as unprocessed as
possible, containing an abundance of live enzymerich fruit and vegetables, free from artificial fertilisers, sprays, preservatives, and colouring agents, as variable as possible, and combined on the dinner table
according to the principles of proper food combining, and eaten in an unhurried manner. Obviously foods rich in sugar, salt, refined carbohydrates, e.g. lollies and biscuits contribute to both an acid saliva, and
tooth decay. Dietary supplements, especially those that create complete mineral saturation, provide an
ideal foundation for the body's PH balance and all enzyme functions. This involves the regular use of New Zealand Herbals Mineral Max and Blood Purifying Tonic along with an appropriate sugar free,
chemical free alkaline diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
plaque bacteria are secreting acids, an electrical charge is generated in the presence of these metals,
much like a car battery. This can be readily measured by a galvanometer. The higher the charge the more molecules of mercury are bouncing around to be methylated (turned to mercury vapour) by the
plaque bacteria.
Mercury vapour is up to 100 times more toxic than elemental mercury. I have seen consistently that after proper tooth and gum hygiene as suggested by this article, the electrical charges dramatically reduce

Brush your tongue and inner cheeks every morning. Within your pack you will find a toothbrush, use this brush (or a tongue scraper if you wish) and clean your tongue from back to front and lots of running water.
Even the roof of your mouth and inner sides of your cheeks contain a number of bacteria that are
lean, mean, and hungry for their first dinner! Cleaning your tongue and checks will reduce their
numbers and in turn reduce the negative effects that they can cause.
2.
Use New Zealand Herbals Dental Powder & Activator to brush your teeth. In general you
want to avoid toothpaste, instead use New Zealand Herbals Dental Powder. You need to mix
this powder with the Activator. To do so, take the following steps: a. Mix of a teaspoon with five drops of activator onto a spoon or dish. b. Mix these two substances until a paste is formed.
With a soft dry toothbrush, apply the bristles onto the paste. Brush the gingival margins (the
margins of your gums, where the gums and teeth meet) at a 45 degree angle
Massage each tooth\gum surface with a side to side motion ensuring that you stroke along the
grain of the tooth. Do not se a circular motion on any teeth except the top surface of the back At that time you must not use the Activator
(unless your gums have deteriorated again if this occurs, consult your practitioner). However,

Page 74 of 120
I have a history of Bulimia, anorexia and alcohol abuse which I received treatment and full recovery from
in the late 1980's. I have throughout my life, experienced periods of uncomfortable stomach bloating,
constipation, fatigue, anxiety and have been prone to developing "unexplained" and thus "untreatable " skin conditions.
In August '95, I gained an incredible amount of weight over a 2 3 week period. This concerned and
mystified me as I felt and looked 5 6 months pregnant. I was really thrilled the day someone stopped me in the street to excitedly congratulate me on my pregnancy. Over the following months I attempted a range of diet changes and increased my exercise programme
considerably WITH NO CHANGE. My bloating and constipation became worse and I began to experience pain after eating only minimal amounts of food, after which I would change my clothes to
have been a growth or worse caused by my earlier history of eating disorders/ alcohol abuse.
In September, after a week in continuous agony and desperation, I visited a Naturopath also, now seeking help for my seemingly high anxiety level, (I had developed a habit of chewing my nails to the core), it was suggested I try the product belonging to the "NEW ZEALAND HERBALS" range for my thyroid gland function. On beginning this, I was amazed to discover my anxiety level reduced 90%
overnight.
A month later, still amazed by the results of the thyrodine, I began a special treatment programme designed by Michael McCammon (N.D.) utilising the NEW ZEALAND HERBALS products. I was very
pleased by the thoroughness and accuracy of the diagnostic process, and the knowledge and understanding given regarding my condition. I began to experience an immediate healing response and the changes that took place were incredible.
No more stomach bloating or discomfort, my weight began to vanish, my fingernails began to grow. My outlook on life became more positive and people orientated. I not only gained back my energy, but also a
sense of humour I had missed for quite some time. I have only listed some of the changes experienced
on the course of the treatment programme believing they alone speak volumes. My whole life has
changed and I am more happier and contented that I have ever been.
I am absolutely thrilled with the results of the treatment, and find it difficult to express in words my
gratitude, and the acknowledgement this healing process deserves." (ref #17) Anonymous for my patients privacy. Michael J McCammon (registered Naturopath) TESTIMONIAL #19 12 YEAR OLD HAS HIS LIFE BACK
"In November 1994 Brett was admitted to Gisborne hospital with severe abdominal pain, diagnosed as appendicitis. His appendix was removed and, although found to be mildly inflamed, it was not serious.
After returning home he developed a high fever, became delirious with severe diarrhoea. On recovery
his bowel completely shut down and he was severely constipated which entailed a return to hospital to
be given enemas, Golightly (12 bottles in all ) none of which met with any success. He was checked over with blood tests, ultra scan and barium enema. Nothing significant was noted, although it was suggested
that his Iron levels were fairly low and there was a possibility that he was not absorbing minerals water etc. appropriately. On boxing day 1994, he appeared to be returning to normal function and returned to
fitness.
In October 1995, he again complained of abdominal pain accompanied by headaches, backache and fever. Initially I believed this to be the flu, but eventually he was back in hospital. He spent time in both Gisborne and Starship hospitals. During this time he had blood tests, a barium meal, Catscan,
bonescan, MRI. He also underwent physiotherapy and pain management sessions. In February 1996, he was diagnosed with "chronic pain syndrome" (!) This we were told, would improve over a two year
period. Brett then began a regimen of 4 hourly panadol and Amatryptalene at night. School became difficult. He has been unable to participate in any sport running, jumping etc. were too painful. He tried to be at school as much as possible, but often had to come home at lunchtime he was

fair degree of scepticism, with Brett being particularly reluctant to try "disgusting" herbs! This did not look
promising.
After our first visit, I felt more positive. Michael's diagnosis made total sense and in the light of Bretts
lifelong digestive problems (vomiting as a breast feed baby and difficulty with weaning), the comments were astute. I found his approach to Brett to be excellent. Brett felt totally involved in the diagnosis and was made to feel he had some control over the treatment. I believe that with children, this is central to
the potential success for any programme. Brett did not find the herbs disgusting and followed the
interest in food, his quick wit has returned and he now has his life back. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was Michael's treatment that bought about this dramatic improvement. Without his treatment Brett would still be in chronic pain, unable to enjoy life as a 12 year old should". (Ref : file # 10). With permission ;Bridget Mead Mother.

A TESTIMONIAL FROM A GRATEFUL PATIENT. EILEEN PATRICIA HYLAND DOB 2041932 THIS IS MY STORY.
It was over 4 years ago that I decided to take a trip to Perth to see my family. Apart from having a Spinal
fusion 7 years ago and arthritic changes in the spine, I was in reasonably good health when I went to
Perth. I had a lovely holiday thanks to my children. The day I arrived back from Perth, I was not well and put it a down to jet lag. I was suffering from chronic fatigue. I could hardly walk and I knew something
was drastically wrong. I visited my GP and asked to have some blood tests run. I was very angry when he suggested I was just depressed because I was missing my family. Being a registered nurse I could
not accept this, and decided to consult Mr Raymond Burr a colour therapist who immediately diagnosed I had the Esteem Barr virus, which causes glandular fever. I had liver involvement and an enlarged
spleen. I insisted that my Doctor run some tests, which he did. He rang me the following Tuesday and said I had a "raging glandular fever", which didn't impress me. By this time I had a very sore throat and
meningeal symptoms and enlarged glands in my neck and was generally ill and had no energy. I live alone and was too ill to eat proper meals and lived on bananas and Complan and was putting on weight.
My weight went from 11 stone to 13 1/2 stone and was deeply depressed, and I just wanted to die. All
my four children lived overseas and they didn't understand my illness nor did my two brothers and neighbours. That upset me very much. A friend visited me and could see that I was very ill and
suggested Herbal Life I was spending literally hundreds of dollars but this did help a little. My Doctor was sympathetic and acknowledged that I had ME but could only treat the symptoms as they arose. In desperation, I consulted a specialist privately. He did numerous tests including autoimmune deficiency,
but as usual with ME, the test were all within normal limits. By this time I had developed severe
fibromyalgia a painful complaint affecting the muscles and joints of both arms. Dr Reddy put me on a
small dose of Prednisone, with no relief, and this was discontinued. I was having frequent viral infections which were affecting my throat, had severe headaches and was very depressed. I had difficulty showering and was too tired to get out of bed. This continued for 4 years, and I hate to admit suicide crossed my mind on several occasions, but I had to consider my children. They didn't understand my
illness, and were at a loss to help being so far away. I returned to Mr Burr who said he could treat me,
but I could not afford the treatment and was too sick to go. Arthritis was causing me great distress and I was virtually living on Panadol 4 hourly. My system was becoming very toxic and frequent antibiotics
caused thrush in my mouth and bowel. I was also diagnosed with having diverticulitis after having had a scan. I was at the end of my tether and rang my daughter in Melbourne who suggested I see a Herbalist
and Naturopath. I noticed Michael's ad in the paper and rang him. He was very understanding, and said Page 76 of 120
he would see me if I could be there in 5 minutes, which I did. It was the best thing I ever did. He told me
my thyroid was underactive, and I was put on "Thyrodine " 5 drops AM and midday. The effect was great
and my energy levels improved greatly. He was also treating my stomach, intestines, bowel, liver, lungs,
chronic sinusitis, pituitary gland, arteries, spine, brain, and vitality. I will be ever grateful to him as he was very caring and I came home feeling relieved that I was receiving help at long last ! His provisional diagnosis was 1. High cholesterol, 2. Cerebral anaemia. 3. Intestinal Dysbiosis, likely candida, and other
parasites and pathogens. These issues were compounded by 4. mineral deficiencies 5., spinal
degeneration and pain. Thyroid was activated by "Thyrodine", 5 drops AM and PM., "Gingko Mem", 5
10 drops, 3 times daily., and "Para" formula each evening. My short term memory was very bad, and I could not even put a letter together. I was straining to think clearly. I was able to write to my children at
last. Within a few days I was looking better, had more energy and the depression had lifted. When I visited my doctor he couldn't get over the change. I told him I was seeing a Naturopath, and he was very
pleased as he couldn't do any more for me. I am on a weight loss programme with "Slender 2000" and am losing weight. In the 6 weeks I have been seeing Michael, my eyes are brighter, my bowel problems have improved, my friends and neighbours are amazed at the dramatic change in me. He has increased my herbs and now am on Ginkgo plus, Immune tonic, B.P tonic, also vitamin B6 for the fibromyalgia. I
am now taking an interest in my appearance, having nutritious meals and managing my energy levels. I
have always been a high achiever and a workaholic, and have been under a lot of stress due to a marriage breakup. I feel 1997 is going to be a great year thanks to Michael. I have recommended several people to Michael, as they can see how much I have improved. I feel much more positive and my family are very happy for me. Michael has always reassured me when I have had the odd down day, and

CHRONIC THRUSH (TESTIMONIAL # 21) "My problem began one year ago when I was unable to cope with an ordinary day without feeling
absolutely drained of every ounce of energy, feeling cold all the time and suffering with thrush. I always
had a permanent bloating feeling of the stomach and hadn't anything to eat. I got to the stage of not eating at all dreading the outbreak of thrush all the time. I am usually 52kgs but dropped to 47 kgs. I'm a
real night person but struggled to keep awake past 7.00PM. I drank quite a lot of coffee and enjoyed a glass of wine most nights.
My life changed completely after meeting with Mike (McCammon N.D.). The first thing I had to change was the diet. I started with lots of water, completely off all dairy products and bread. The thrush stopped
rapidly and the energy levels were up. I then began the detox programme taking Blood Purifying tonic
(BP) in water 3 times per day, plus hydrated Bentonite with Psyllium ("PROCLEANSE"), which gave me a good clean out. At night I take REGULAR BOWEL 2000 capsules which I find are life savers as food doesn't sit around causing that awful bloating feeling. Sugar had to go as that was certainly feeding the yeast cells, so I ate lots of rice, cooked and raw vegetables plus fish, chicken and pork. Keeping away from all processed foods and foods with a high
sugar content it was getting better each day. Once you have made the change, its easy to stick to this
diet. I only find it hard away from my own environment. I am now taking CANDIDA drops to really knock the cells from the bowel lining but two days on these drops I felt yuk! I felt I had lead in my shoes and just wanted to sleep but it didn't last long and now I feel great. I feel in control of the problem and if I do have a slip up my saying is "you play, you pay". It's usually only a sugar binge that I fail on but my sugar tolerance is a lot greater now than before. I rub
sesame oil into my body each day and that has improved my skin as I'm prone to eczema and dermatitis
bad.
It's not easy to make this change and go through the detox diet, but I can honestly say it's worth the
battle and think my family would agree. I'm a far better person to live with. I have heard of so many
women suffering with the same symptoms as myself, but most of them are still using Canasten cream from their Doctor, which to me is only short term relief when really with the right diet and simple herbs, Page 77 of 120
you can be cured long term. It's up to you and how you focus on the programme, but each day gets better and better. My thanks go to Mike." With permission ;Cathy McNabb. 32 years.
Practitioner comments:
Dietary modifications are essential in dealing with candida, yeast and fungal infections (broadly termed
"thrush"). So also is detoxification by herbal, and, on occasion, Homoeopathic means. (We have not moved on to Homoeopathic prescribing for this patient at this stage). Herbals classed as "blood purifiers"
are used to achieve detoxification, along with bowel management programmes and attention to lifestyle
and body type, (in this case "Vata" or "Air" type). However, due to the candida, elimination of dairy food,
going to write to Mike herself so I'll leave that up to her, that's her story.
Mike had formulated his products but had no packaging or labelling or capsule service then, you have
drink, and some herbs in an envelope to eat when I got home (Mineral Max) and I think some
Regular Bowel along with some Thyrodine. Anyway, within 3 months I was coming along very well also
with the help of a great osteopath and I have not looked back since.
I stopped taking the herbs about six months ago as being a single Mum and a student, trying not to incur any more debts and bills, I never really queried what I was taking and for what. All I knew was that it worked. It's obvious that I had an underactive thyroid and a sluggish bowel. I never looked as good in my life as I did after my sciatic problem subsided as I was taking the right medication (herbal) and had been diagnosed right for the first time, yeah, I too have poor memory, irritability, dry skin, constipation,
lethargy very cold hands, body and feet, all the stiff joints, OVERWEIGHT again since being off my herbs gosh I looked great 6 months ago wearing a lot of my beautiful clothes, that I have not been able
to wear for at least years because of my swollen stomach (pregnant look really is how you would describe it). I believed I was a diabetic, but it would not show on tests, so that's what I put everything
down to.
So now I really know that I have a Thyroid problem and sluggish bowel I will always be taking NEW ZEALAND HERBALS herbs. I cannot wait to take this bloated feeling away again and wear all my
beautiful clothes, but most of all keep on my herbs. I am just about to start "Slender 2000", gosh I need a hand. I'll let you know how that goes too.
I have sent other friends along, they are all happy with their results. Of course, if things are too far gone, you can only assist with some of their problems. It's just getting them to "NEW ZEALAND HERBALS" or
hands that can cure them and get on the right path to great health.
I also believe that once you have found a cure for what you had, it must be passed on to others in need of that knowledge for that sickness. In my area a remote beach in Northern , when I became sick with sciatica, two other women had it too,
one is still feeling the pain regularly and the other a girl I went to school with is having repercussions
and is at present very sick with this piercing pain again. She has asked about me and my recovery, and I
was only too happy to share my knowledge. Two days ago I visited her, (as us sciatic sisters do), and
was real happy to find her on the "NEW ZEALAND HERBALS" herbs great. Coincidentally she has
Page 78 of 120
I think I'm lucky to have been put in great hands, for at some point during the three months in bed with
sciatica I would of opted for the surgeon and his knife, but it's amazing what a little faith and the right
thought that my body aches and pains was the beginning of arthritis believing I had become old before
my time. At this time I read through a list of symptoms under the heading of Chronic fatigue syndrome Alongside this it had the causes. I noted all applied to me, including long term predisone use. It also
informed me this could take a very long time to heal from. The way I felt I certainly could not have seen myself picking up in a hurry.
After reading this I consulted with Michael J McCammon, a Naturopath who believed much of my difficulty could be caused by my liver and a buildup of toxicity. ( he called it nicotine saturation!) in my blood. I began his Blood Purifying Tonic 2000 taking 3 teaspoon a day. THREE DAYS LATER after swimming for an hour ( something I had not been capable of for a very long time) and working solidly the whole day I realised I had my life back and my energy had actually returned overnight from my first taking of the Blood Purifying formula, and the aches and pains I was experiencing had diminished by 90%. What really surprised me, after a week of being on the formula my period arrived and I had

My results with Mike were instant. For 2 weeks my body was covered with a rash which blistered, oozed, itched, peeled and joints arms, legs and face swelled. It was hell. This was followed by another 2 weeks of the same thing only not quite so bad. When I went out in public people thought I had been burned; seeing new pink skin all over the place. The next 2 months were much the same, only everything happened more quickly; about 3 days and with longer periods of no rash. It is now July 97 and except for a small eczema type rash in web of a couple of fingers which comes and goes, Im free of discomfort pain and embarrassment. Also finally all symptoms of Glandular fever and other gland
doubted himself, he explained the reasons why these things were happening and how to fix them.
I wouldnt hesitate in recommending Mike to anyone and he is my first choice over any Doctor.
NAME WITHHELD Original on file 996 ASTHMA Since the early age of 4 , I have been an asthmatic and always anaemic. Through the earlier years of my schooling several days and weeks were spent at home with asthma attacks and the after effects of
the drugs I was taking. At the age of 14 and than again about 20, I suffered terribly with asthma and after various types of medication, including Ventolin Atomisers, we decided to the only thing to to do was
accept the fact that I would have to take medication every day to counteract the onset of the attacks. I married at 21 and we moved out of town after being told it could improve my health. My husband and I were resigned to the fact that I would probably die from asthma. February 1983 my first child was born by Caesarean section under general anaesthetic. After a most
dreadful pregnancy I said no more. From the first 6 weeks until the baby was born I vomited, suffered
from nausea, fatigue and finally ending in acute toxaemia. Six months later I still hadnt recuperated. I Page 79 of 120
became depressed and was becoming overpowered by stress. My husband and family were nearly
driven mad by the continual fearfulness and moaning. Thank heaven they are an understanding lot.
My sister, at that stage owned a health food shop in Greymouth: thanks to he knowledge and
minerals. I soon began to feel better. Im sure I could never have felt worse than before meeting Mike.
Migraine headaches had been a problem since the birth of my first child. After the doctor telling me it was stress and blood pressure, I decided to tell Mike about it. In a matter of twenty minutes, the
headaches had disappeared. A herbal adjustment was all it needed. I suppose about two or three times
a year I have my neck adjusted and thankfully I have not had a headache since.
August, 1995 my second child was born also by Caesarean section but under Epidural Spinal block.
The pregnancy started out a little rough so along I went to Mike and he prescribed a Homoeopathic
remedy which cured all symptoms of morning sickness, the rest of the pregnancy was a breeze. I have never been a person with any amount of will power, but knowing I had to give natural healing a
go, decided to change my diet and take supplements. instead of a lot of fatty foods or preservative based foods, I eat raw fruit and vegetables, fish and chicken. I admit I have not changed my diet so
much that I dont eat the odd meal of fish and chips or eat the odd but of pavlova. I do, however, eat a
fatigued, overweight and everything else I was, is no fun for anyone, especially when its happening to
you.
I have gone from a walking Zombie to a reasonably healthy human being. I have come form a point of
desperation to reach a stage where I can look back and say goodbye to the past and hello to the future.
I still have a long way to go, I know that, but I will keep climbing that ladder of health, and happiness. I can now enjoy life instead of just surviving.
Thanks to one man, Mike McCammon his knowledge an great skill of natural healing, I have improved in
health to look back and to look at other people in need of help makes me realise that natural remedies and cures are the best, no the ONLY way this world should be moving towards.
I also take this opportunity to thank Mike, from the bottom of my heart, for all of his help and tremendous energy he has extended to help me and my family. I truly hope your wishes, that mankind will revert back to natural remedies and cures, will come true one day and I want to say now that I am right up there with
Mike. It will be a long hard slog but I know if everyone sticks behind Mike he can achieve his goal in life. Good luck Mike! You are the best. Name withheld Original on file with photographs of Iris changes test 997 CHRONIC VAGINAL BLEEDING
Dear Michael
Just a note to share with you how much I appreciate your support.
I came to you when I was at my wits end and had lost faith in hospital and doctors and just about
given up on my body and was getting used to the idea of having to go through with a hysterectomy. For the first time in 2 and 1/2 years of visiting the hospital and various doctors finally here was someone that really listened and I felt was truly on my side.

burning sensation in my stomach after I ate. I was loosing weight and getting worried. After numerous
trips to the doctor I was put on a waiting list of six months to a year just for the initial endoscope which is only to discover the problem without doing anything about a solution. After a lot of prompting and encouragement I went to Michael McCammon. He immediately suspected a lack of hydrochloric acid which is needed to digest food. He took a photo of my irises to confirm this and uncovered several other
problems form the photo analysis. Such as parasites in the he bowel, toxins in the liver and pancreas
hence burning stomach, chronic fatigue and headaches. Within two days of taking the slippery elm
powder, prescribed by Michael to repair the damaged stomach lining and hydrochloric acid tablets the
stomach burning vanished and has not returned. He also prescribed his BP liver tonic and that helped to increase my energy levels. I had raised bumps on my forehead which had been there for five years
which I had read indicated a buildup of toxins in the liver and pancreas. I decided this would be a good test of this tonic and sure enough after four weeks of using the tonic they gradually disappeared. I had previously used a stream of creams and lotions to try to get rid of those bumps and nothing had worked.
Michael also cleared my ears which had been blocked for sixteen months with and ear candling process. AN entirely painless and effective process which killed off the bacterial yeast that had been
causing the problems. He then prescribed herbal ear drops to completely eradicate the problem.

I am impressed with Michaels honesty. He will only use an recommend products that meet his standards
of purity and concentration. If he doesnt have the best product for you personally, he will recommend other brands. He has a wide knowledge of other brands and herbs and knows which products are
effective and which arent. He is always happy to share his considerable knowledge and will explain in great depth what he thinks will be beneficial. He is also happy to recommend other forms of treatment and therapists if he feels they would be useful for your particular problems.
He personalises your herbal treatment requirements by often combining tow or more remedies to reduce
the number and expense of medicines that you may require. He goes the extra mile by returning phone
calls, posting products to you wherever you are in NZ, trying to another track if one doesnt work to his
standard and is always willing to explain what he is doing for your personal treatment and why. I would be happy to recommend Michael to anyone and have done so several times already. In the knowledge that they will be getting a very comprehensive personalised, holistic approach to their specific problems.
thats OK hell get over it. All in All everyones in better spirits.

absolutely essential. He had nothing to offer me for my underlying chronic problems. Mike McCammon did an iris analysis and among other things diagnosed that I had parasitic worms that were causing both my gut and lung symptoms. I must admit that I took this diagnosis with a large pinch
of salt. Being a parasitologist, I was fairly positive I did not have parasites especially of the kind that could cause symptoms such as mine. However, I followed Mikes detailed advice and embarked on a 10 day fast and a course of herbs. I felt fine during the fast. All my gut problems disappeared and I was
tempted to go off food forever! This was more the case when I started eating again. At almost the first mouthful my gut symptoms returned with a vengeance. After another visit to my GP I had a stool sample analysed and imagine my amazement when he rang to
tell me that the eggs of the large round worm, Ascaris lumbricoides, had been found. This worm is supposedly not transmitted in New Zealand and so can only be caught abroad or by eating food from
overseas contaminated with the eggs. As I had not been overseas for several years I had to conclude I had acquired the parasite from contaminated food. The most likely candidate seemed to be Turkish figs to which I was (and still am) partial.
Page 82 of 120
The diagnosis of this parasite explained many of my symptoms especially the gut ones. It became clear
why they returned so dramatically after I resumed eating after fasting. The poor worms which feed on gut contents, were voracious by that time and went crazy at the first sniff of food! Needles to say, as soon as
I realised I had such large, active, unwanted passengers I was determined to get rid of them as fast as
possible and went straight for the sledgehammer approach with drugs. Even these didnt work the first time and I had to try again before my gut symptoms disappeared. I has taken many years to work
Dear Michael
Ive finally put pen to paper as I was reluctant to push my luck earlier, not wanting to tempt fate.
I came to you about July last year suffering secondary infertility having been successfully conceived, but unfortunately loosing twin boys at 20 weeks gestation 7 years earlier. Over the successive years I/we had the battery of medical tests where they could find nothing abnormal hence unexplained infertility I had two IVF attempts which resulted in fertilised embryos being replaced but
namely the Womans tonic, thyrodine 2000, Mineral Max 2000,. I took these for about 34 months and I
noticed, especially when I started the Womans tonic 2000, a heightened awareness of my monthly cycle and was in good spirits. On your recommendations I visited (Osteopath) , who manipulated my back and
uterus. I remember walking out of his rooms feeling quite euphoric and very positive in my thinking.
During this time my name came up on the Public Health list for another IVF attempt. I found it difficult to decide whether I should continue with the herbal remedies or try the IVF. I decided that in this
day and age you dont turn down the public health system so I ceased the herbal remedies upon their
request and embarked on what was to be our best ever IVF attempt where the number and quality of
fertilised eggs were excellent, ( exceeding the other two attempts). The result a successful pregnancy! I am now the very proud mother of a 3 month old son, (name)
I have Tonic no doubt in my mind that the above herbal remedies in particular the Womans
2000, and the session with the osteopath, contributed to both my physical and mental welfare so that
when I embarked on our third attempt I was in a very positive, relaxed frame of mind and to everyones
natal depression as well which improved soon after I lost the baby. Then I started bleeding in between
the periods and was told a small operation would fix it. But things got much worse in the end. I couldnt put my feet to the floor because I would flood worse than a tap on full bore and this bleeding contained large clots. After a period of time (23 months) I had a hysterectomy. This left me with high blood
pressure. And then about 6 years ago I again took sick at work, feeling generally unwell and I had to sit
down most of the time and I was treated as having flu symptoms and didnt get any better. I was then
admitted to hospital where they did a series of tests and found I was on one too many blood pressure
tablets per day. They had caused an ulcer and I was in need of a gall bladder operation. They left the Page 83 of 120
tubes in for three weeks the first tube that came spasm
with rolling pains. (couldnt hold me on the bed) A specialist gave me an injection to quieten it. They
couldnt explain what caused the pain. After that the bowel went haywire. I lived on the bed most of the
time for the first year, had violent headaches fruit was the only thing I could eat until the Doctor told me
to introduce stuff such as the high fibre diet and metamucil. But if I wanted to pass wind I was always to late. I had no control over the bowel, just liquid and a vile smell. I was up all hours of the night with
vomiting and diarrhoea and severe headaches. headaches were better after the vomiting and diarrhoea. I used to go through a 100 pack of panadol per week. Thats taking them every three or four hourly. I have been to specialists out of town 3 times and at the specialists here in Gisborne every three
weeks ( at a cost of $100 per visit) Specialists said there was nothing they could do to help the irritable
bowel syndrome ( as what they called it) except a high fibre diet. This did not help at all. Tests never showed up anything. We had spent all our retirement savings by this stage seeking help, this amounted to $29,000! Fortunately our insurance company Southern Cross paid out 80% of it. After suffering this was for 5 and 1/2 years with no let up off symptoms I still knew there was someone
reached the end of my tether and I knew that if I didnt get help this time I would be back
in hospital. I was told of a local Naturopath. I rang and made a time and visited Dr McCammon, a Naturopath and Medical Herbalist. I was given a diagnosis and put on a special diet and given some
herbal remedies.
My next visit in 3 weeks my bowel had eased off a lot. In about 6 weeks I was fine! fine! and have
been doing extremely well ever since. Even my headaches have improved.
I would dearly like to see Michaels profession (Naturopaths and Herbalists) more known and there must be a lot of people out there like me who need help. And I cant thank Michael enough for the time he has
put into me. Its wonderful to not have to carry a bag of underwear and other clothes or a bag of tablets.
had occurred.
His leg was cleaned twice daily with saline and he was given two different antibiotics. This treatment continued for one month. In that time the flap of skin and the flesh underneath proceeded to rot away to
hopefully all of the infection had gone. We were told to take him home for the 4 days before the operation as he had become to hospitalised
With this information my husband and I decided to against the operation and to let the wound heal
naturally.
Upon taking him home I put together a quantity of herbs.
Page 84 of 120
Proudly he presented his leg for inspection only to be met with a rude and abrupt approach. Commenting
on the height of the flesh proceeded to cortorize the wound before we knew what was happening.
Feeling very depressed we returned to Michael the next day for our appointment where he applied fresh Aloe Vera gel. 5 hour later the wound was looking healthy and red again. The flesh had now risen to approx. 2.5 cm. a little to high. To shrink the flesh back a little straight Hypecal was used along with kawa kawa ointment. Three weeks later ( now approx. 3 months after the injury), new skin had grown and the remaining size of a 5c coin. Golden seal was powder was applied straight and within 2 days a scab had formed. Five days later the scab dropped off to reveal skin underneath.
very cold winter and we lived several kilometres away from civilisation) The first time I knew something was very wrong when my wife called me in urgently and explained what happened she had the good
sense to immediately remove his upper clothes where the boiling water had spilled copiously over his
head and down his arm and chest. I took him and jumped into the creek some minutes away which was icy cold. (I discovered later that cold water or saline just continuously poured over the area would have
been less traumatic) We were several hours away from the nearest hospital and my son had been
brought up in a completely drug and chemical free environment we had to make a decision whether to deal with this ourselves or subject him to IV drips and all the rest of what we knew to be the standard treatment for severe burns. We decided to tackle this ourselves and take him to hospital the moment we
felt out of our depth. All night we kept his wounds wet and all night my mind kept ticking over as to what was the best thing to do. In the morning the full extent of his wounds became apparent as large amounts of tissue sloughed off and the horrendous wound was confronting us. By that time I knew what to do. I am a qualified Naturopath and Herbalist and had in the past worked closely with some remarkable
healers and an experience I had some years previously when I had moderately severe sunburn I had
used a colleges recipe with good effect. This burn was much more serious with the ever present threat of shock and infection. After showing off my son with tepid water I made a mixture which today is known as
Green Mountain ointment from the herbs which grew not more than a few meters from our caravan in
which we lived at the time. Immediately upon applying the poultice my the pain and distress my son was suffering from immediately stopped and he went into a deep and peaceful sleep. the poultice was changed every 24 hours and myself and my wife kept an all day and all night vigil to monitor any signs of dehydration and stress. The only stressful times for our son was the changing of the bandages which
took only a few minutes. No scab formed as the burn healed from within and while the poultice was on
no discomfort or pain was felt by him. By the day of his birthday (2 weeks later) he even managed to put
on a smile and happily play with his balloons and his friends. With the daily changing of bandages we observed incredible healing and around 10 days after that the final bandage was removed. Most of the
healing the occurred within the first two weeks. The doctor was amazed how fast and effectively
healing had occurred with no complications. He gave us a sobering comment re how we could have had a fatality on our hands. Myself and my wife and the 3 other practitioners we lived with at the time were there for support and advice, at all times we were aware of the risks and would not have hesitated to take him to hospital at the slightest sign of shock or worsening he showed none of these. My Herbal
knowledge and faith had taken the ultimate test and my confidence in Gods good herbs never failed me. To date it never has and I am so grateful for the experience as painful as it was for all of us. My son Ben
showed a courage well beyond his years and today he is a fine young man with his own knowledge of herbs. There is some keloid tissue left on his arm and chest which we will deal with when hes ready. Possibly through laser treatment or through other means I am still researching. There is no doubt in my
mind that had we gone the other way with IV drips, chemicals and the standard burn treatment of the day
he would have had a greater suffering and far worse scar tissue as I have seen many cases prior and since. I do not recommend this home treatment in cases like this at least to this degree. One thing I am convinced about though is that every home in the world should have a jar of Green Mountain ointment in

for minor burns and to minimise damage reducing or stopping pain in severe cases
February 28 1999
Recently I was referred to Michael J McCammon Naturopath. I had basil cell carcinoma removed by the
medical profession in Canada, and was not happy with the result; as they left a stitch in the incision,
causing infection and more scar tissue than necessary. On top of that, two satellite basil cell carcinomas appeared next to the scar tissue. This was not satisfactory, as you realise you will soon have numerous
scars. Aside from this, you begin to wonder if you ever have a chance of beating this affliction or if you will end up being one big mushy mess of scars! So now the mind is trying to panic you into negative
thoughts not good! To help me try and panic was a sister of mine who is a registered nurse. As I had
another carcinoma on my chest, her words were Blyth for Gods sake go and get it cut out before it gets in your blood system, your life is going great and why chancing DYING DO something about it. Thats enough to scare anyone But, being rather stubborn I decided the medical profession was not the answer to the problem. I tried Hoxsey red cover formula and Urine treatment to name a couple. Nothing cured the sores and by now 4 or 5 years had passed. They were always in the back of my mind playing on it. Then a visit to Michael McCammon not knowing what to expect! Well, the next thing, I was on my
back having what I call magic mud (Indian Poultice) administered to the lesion on my chest. I left the
clinic with a herbal Blood Purifying tonic (BP tonic 2000) and mineral blood builder to take (Mineral Max
2000) The magic mud destroyed all abnormal cells in the area and healed well! Then we eliminated the satellites on my back in the same fashion. I also had two sores on my left leg which were going to be
serious, due to circulation in the outer limbs. Mike gave me a herbal and mineral mix to build up my system for the Big challenge (Special formula 2000) the two sores on my leg. He warned me they would
be big craters and he was right. they were not only big, they were deep! The healing process took time
and they were open wounds for approximately 2 months. Being a person who gets infections from small
scratches the fact I came through this without even a sign of infection speaks for itself! today, only a month after the last scab came off there is only a small scar with some discoloration which is slowly
disappearing. To me, this was worth looking for and waiting out the medical profession, as I feel Michael not only saved my leg but probably my LIFE! the alternative medicine used by Michael WAS MAGIC! At all times Michael was there to alleviate my fears that my mind could possibly conjure up, as to the
monetary gain After all , how much is ones life worth?? BLYTH. M.DEAN.
about how disheartened and depressed I felt about my health. Combined with the power of prayer from many precious Christians for healing. I started to use the Blood Purifying tonic to cleanse my liver and
my blood to get more oxygen to my brain to stop the seizures. I started to take Ginkgo mem which has
helped me to remember a lot better and has improved my concentration for longer periods of time.
I also took (Mineral Max 2000) capsules to replace the vitamins which were getting drained out of
my
system. I was a real sceptic and was pretty closed minded to the use of alternative forms of treatment.
Page 86 of 120
My attitude has totally changed to the using of herbal remedies to improve my health. This is mainly due to the radical results I have experienced as a result of using these products. I have been taking these
products for a little over two months. I have had a 70% reduction in amount of small facial seizures which
used to number 2030 seizures a day. The number of these seizures have been dramatically cut down
also to 25 small facial seizures a day and other days I do not have any.
I do not get run down and tired like I used to. It is so cool to end the day and still have energy. I thank
God for the hope that has been restored to me through many peoples prayers and the circumstances
that bought my path across Herbal New Zealand products. Yours faithfully

Iridology
&
Herbal Medicine
With credits to Dr. Bernard Jensen D.C. I Iridology and Sclerology is a science that involves the use of the Iris and white of the eye to diagnose and monitor tissue changes that are occurring or have occurred in the body. The iris is the fingerprint of the body and reveals the uniqueness of individuals displaying body constitution, inherent weaknesses, inflammations, level of health and transitions that take place due to lifestyle. Appropriate herbal formulations and other nutritional factors can be readily chosen.
Page 98 of 120
magine a system of diagnosis that is like a body scan without excessive expenses, the use
of potentially harmful effects of radiation or chemicals or even painful procedures. Iridology is such a
system. It can accurately give a readout of exactly what is going on in your body including your genetic strengths and weaknesses. Iridology can accurately pinpoint the likely cause of any illness to give
The iris of the human eye is similar to a computer screen in that it displays information on what is held on
data base. All it requires is an operator with the right knowledge and skills to access and interpret the
data.
Iridology has been practiced for centuries by the American Indians, Ayurvedic physicians of India, the
ancient Chaldeans and others, but it wasnt until a Hungarian doctor, Ignatz von Peczely ( 1826 1911),
rediscovered it, that Iridology found its place in the modern western world. Today Iridology is a widespread science practised in many areas of the world including USA, Russia, China, Europe and
New Zealand.
How does it work?
The human eye is formed within six weeks of fetal life and is connected via the optic cord. There are more than 28,000 nerve fibres in the iris and when viewed under an electron microscope, each fibre separates into many more fibres, much like and electric cable. All these cables eventually run to the
brain. Indeed, it could be said that the iris fibres are reflective of brain tissue. The brain is in contact with all the nerves and cells of the body and the iris becomes a screen on which
the central and autonomic system project information about what is happening all over the body. The iris
is like a multidimensional, multicoloured, holographic display of interpretable data relevant to the health of the individual.
Note that iridology doesnt diagnose specific diseases. The point has been largely misunderstood by those not fully versed in the science. The place of iridology as a diagnostic tool is to clearly demonstrate
what happens when disease is suppressed and to show the various levels of inflammation or disease as it progresses. Acute shows up as a bright white mark in the iris fibres and is associated with pain and
inflammation. Subacute disease (the beginning of suppression) are displayed as a light grey mark.
Chronic disease shows up as a dark grey mark and degenerative disease as a black mark.
Remarkably, as the body heals, these signs also change accordingly a the overall effect being
The iris map above is designed to make this fascinating art and science understandable.. The left iris
corresponds to the left side of the body and the right iris to the right side. The iris is mapped into zones radiating from the centre outwards.
Zone 3. the heart, pancreas, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, gall bladder, solar plexus, para thyroid, bronchiols, bronchus, uterus and prostate. Zone 4. the lungs, ribs, liver, pelvis, kidneys, bladder, ovaries, cervical spine, thyroid etc.
Zone 5. the oesphagus, spleen etc. Zone 6. the arteries, lymph and veins. Zone 7. the skin.
These are further divided into sections as a clock face for ease of location and by cross matching the
practitioner can identify and describe each location, for example, the heart is in the left iris at 3.00 pm
zone 3. The iris signs, as well as related sclera ( white tissue of the eye) and pupil tone and shape, all give indications of function or dysfunction, metabolic waste settlement and vitamin or mineral
deficiencies etc.
Notice that the map is like a wheel, the digestive system being the hub of the wheel. We know that embryological organs, glands and tissues develop firstly from the gut of the growing fetus. It remains that all organs and tissues are still dependant on the gut for nourishment and that a reflex relationship to
these areas remains ( as seen in zone one and two of the map) This is like the hub of a wheel and the organs, glands and tissues are the spokes. Like a bicycle wheel, the hub is the most essential part, The wheel can still function with a few missing spokes but it cannot do without the hub.
Iridology clearly demonstrates that it is the digestive systems of the stomach and bowel then pancreas and liver that need to be taken care of first. All the cells of the body are dependant on a healthy digestive
and eliminative system. Holistic health practitioners over the years have clinically observed this principle. Iridology is more than an idea whose time has come. Medical technology has reached a point where, at times, it cannot see the wood for the trees. Current medical diagnostic techniques can be isolationist in
approach and the whole picture is seldom seen or addressed. By treating symptoms without a true
understanding of the cause we have a danger of trying to fix the oil leak in a car by taking the warning light out. The science and practice of iridology is much like the dashboard light of the car. Just like the
flashing oil light, warning signs are clearly seen in the eyes well before the disease appears. Proper
preventative measures can then be incorporated along with appropriate health care.
What Iridology can do
Endocrine relationships and imbalance. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The presence of parasitic organisms non specific. Acute, sub acute, chronic and degenerative conditions. Likely prognosis or healing rate of the patient within natural variables.
Level of toxins specific and non specific. Give a guideline to the practitioner for further tests and confirmation. Determine nutritional needs, including diet, herbs and other supporting therapies.
It does not diagnose disease. It cannot tell viral diseases. It cannot diagnose pregnancy.
It cannot diagnose kidney or gall stones because they are not part of the body.
Iridology, along with a proper case history and physical examination and sometimes backed up by
immediate indication of the ground and treatment protocols. For the patient the understanding of the situation and why and how long treatment may take.
At 6 weeks of fetal life the eye is created and extends from the brain in the form of the optic nerve which terminates as the Iris of the eye. Iris contains fibres termed trabeculae which in themselves contain many
more microscopic fibres much like an electric cable. This cable contains cells rich in mitochondria the
powerhouse of the cell, and is remarkably like brain tissue. The iris tissue remains connected to the
brain which is in turn intimately connected to all areas of the body. Everything is seen in relationship and the focus is on correcting functional disturbances that may not be readily seen in any other form of diagnosis. The advantage of using the Iris of the eye to determine factors in health is that unlike any other area of the body the iris is transparent and it is much like seeing through the body observing relationships of
organs, glands, and their structures and functions. All cure comes from within. The gastro intestinal system is the central hub of the wheel and all organ systems are dependent on this for nourishment.
Structure and function can be clearly observed and a rational system of cure devised.
Iridology does not diagnose disease in the same way as main stream medicine. Iridology analysis
works holistically. It is the whole system or rather the patient not the disease, which forms the basis of the technique. The practitioner of Iridology makes no attempt to diagnose disease in the same way as other methods. Everything is seen in relationship and the focus is on correcting functional disturbances that may not be readily seen in any other form of diagnosis. Iridology is a science that involves the use of the eye to diagnose and monitor tissue changes that are occurring or have occurred in the body. It reveals inflammation as well as the location and stage of its manifestation. The Iris also reveals body constitution, inherent weaknesses, level of health and transitions that take place in the body due to lifestyle.
This workbook is designed to coordinate information necessary to start a path of right living, lived in awareness in the pursuit of good health. It is your advantage to study the human body and the information provided regarding nutrition and herbal and homeopathic remedies. Methods of improving
the health of the body mind complex should be searched out. Although a perfectly well individual may
no exist, one is afforded the opportunity to prevent illness or improve quality of life through a more
healthy life.
The body is a servant to your mental leadership, discipline and discernment. It knows so little without a
good driver and one who knows where s/he is going. Truly the body needs a good path to travel on. The
body moulds to that good path. A more natural life, is the means of obtaining a more clean body. One who has earned clean body has a zest for living; life is a challenge. Greater contributions may be made to society and to the family unit.
happiness and harmony are a wonderful reflection and an example to friends, family and professional associates. Good health allows a person to become the individual s/he wants to be and to attain the
highest goals.
Herbs, nutrition and iridology go together, Iridology determines the extent of nutritions effectiveness in an individual. All tissues are altered according to the nutritional program applied and the living habits
taken up. Improper living habits undermine the body until the body is eventually unable to reverse toxic
conditions; chronic conditions may result. A nutritional program should be of a cleansing nature; if this is so the iris records favourable changes. Nutrition is not the whole solution, but without it illnesses manifests first subtlety by lack of ease ( disease) symptoms followed by the acute ( painful) stage, drops down to the sub acute where there is a general susceptibility, then on to the chronic and finally
degenerative. It is infinitely better to begin a health restorative program at the earliest stage possible and
if no disease symptoms are present still best to follow a preventative program. In New Zealand these steps would save each individual $1,400 dollars per annum in health taxes and the save the country more than the $800,000,000 per annum it spends on prescription drugs alone (thats not counting the

Organs of primary importance to your health are considered first. It is considered important that you improve the functions of these organs. A health program is designed for your specific needs and is covered in greater detail both in the later part of this workshop and in private consultation with your
Naturopath/ Iridologist.
The herbal section outlines suggestions as to a Herbal program that would best suit both your physiology and condition. In the authors opinion Herbal medicines or food supplements are the most ideal choice in health restoration. Appropriately chosen herbs are the most suited to your genetic program and your physiology recognises the photochemical (plant chemicals) and active principles. The formulas chosen are designed to A. Activate normal bodily processes. B, Build new tissue and C. Cleanse your system of toxins. In this way well chosen herbs support what your body is doing anyway except in a more powerful
way. The herbal program speeds up the process of healing and supplies nutrients and active principles specifically to achieve a better outcome that is unlikely to happen with diet or exercise alone. CONSTITUTION An indication of your general constitutional type can be gained from your Iris.
Note the iris is made of many fibres and the density of these fibres give us some indication of the corresponding density or constitutional strength of your body. In a way, the number of Iris fibres suggest
the amount of impact your body can take. Like a natural fibre rope its density is determined by the type
of work it is required to do, whether to hold a ship to port or to tie a shoelace. Rest assured your fibre
density is right for you and the special purpose you are here for. Your constitution can also be compared between an oak and a pine tree. The solid oak termed silk is
regarded as the best constitution and the loose grained pine tree is the poorest. An individual with an oak or silk constitution can abuse his or her body and maintain fair health while a pine or net constitution
(poor) cannot remain healthy while abusing his or her body. The silk has excellent recuperative powers and their body rejuvenates tissue effectively. The silk linen and linen constitutions have a fair amount of
recuperative ability while the net constitution has a lower rate of change. Constitution represents the

damage.
PUPIL RESPONSE The pupil may be extremely tense and tight. (small) under nervetension living conditions. It may become very relaxed in the individual who is resting, who is fatigued, who has depleted his or her bodys vital
energy. Such a person is enervated. Note that one pupil may be larger than the other. In this instance,
the response may be related to circulation heart activity; it may also indicate the use of drugs or inherent
weaknesses.
ELIMINATIVE ORGANS The body is constantly breaking down or disintegrating. Dead blood cells and worn out cells and organic material must be eliminated effectively, If eliminative organs are unable to function effectively, end products of metabolism, worn out elements and cells will not be eliminated properly. This builds up toxic
the digestive system and bowel is in zone two and surrounds the pupil this system is the hub of the wheel and all organs, glands and systems are dependant on this area for nourishment. A disharmony in this area can effect virtually any other area of the body.
MINERALS/ELEMENTS DEFICIENT It is difficult to list all the mineral elements deficient. A minimum of four biochemical elements may be
mentioned. However in all cases mineral saturation needs to occur before proper healing can take place.
This is why a full spectrum mineral supplement is always recommended (Mineral Max) and both types of minerals are optimum (Colloidal and noncolloidal) The colloidal minerals are contained in all liquid herbal formulations recommended in this report. Minerals must be present in the correct acidity and
quantity not to much and not to little. Around 50% of your body enzymes require minerals to function and without these vital elements vitamins and millions of other bodily processes cannot occur. Minerals are the most common denominator of disease. VITAMINS
Vitamins are to the body what petrol is to the car petrol runs the car, but it doesnt build it. Likewise vitamins are fuel to the body, but it is the mineral elements that build the body. Without a complete saturation of all the correct minerals and trace elements, vitamins cannot be retained because the minerals hold vitamins in the body. When proper mineralization is present, vitamins can be of the
greatest advantage to the human body. Vitamins are best taken from food with the possible addition of
vitamin E, A and C in supplemental form. Remember however that although vitamins can be obtained
through food it is virtually impossible today to receive all the mineral elements from even a good diet. ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS
The suggestions listed here within your workbook may be valuable when integrated into a health program. A naturopath, nutritional consultant or your doctor should be able to outline a program suitable for your individual requirements. Consider only those suggestions checked and approved by your health
practitioner.
BRAIN AREA Inherent weaknesses apply to the brain area, in addition to the amount of toxic material which may be
settled there. Brain area conditions may be of a psychological or physiological nature. ( mental or physical) The area at the very top of the brain area in the middle is the bodys fatigue indicator. It shows overwork, stress, the pace at which you live etc. Other areas of brain activity or inactivity may be marked
on your chart. Toxic material may have been deposited there. Acute, subacute, chronic and
degenerative conditions in any organ indicate toxic settlement. Nutrition for the brain may be found in
LUNGS
The lung structure picks up a considerable percentage of toxic material for elimination. It is one of the
four eliminative organs and one of the most vital. An excess of toxic material not properly eliminated produces catarrh, phlegm, mucus. The acute stage allows the body to eliminate catarrh in the flowing state. An elimination diet along with recommended herbal remedies produces a running catarrhal condition which is a cleansing process for this area. During the acute stage the lungs are extremely active, eliminating excess catarrh and an overactive condition of the lungs structure which is temporary.
This in an indication that an extreme amount of acidity has settled in the tissues. The sub acute stage
indicates that a certain amount of catarrh, phlegm , mucus must be eliminated. If chronic is indicated
considerable elimination is needed however it may well be that very little is eliminated in the liquid form; instead it is in the dried up or suppressed state. In order to reach the eliminative stage the tissues must
reach the acute stage of hyperactivity. When the chronic level is marked, one has sustained colds, bronchial conditions, influenza ( flu) in the past and an elimination program is necessary. This chronic state may include hay fever or asthma. Asthma can be developed as a result of suppressed catarrhal eliminations. Remember that Iridology does not name disease, but it leads the doctor or practitioner to
generally more seriously affected than the lung structure. They are closely allied to bowel disturbances and their state of health, tissue wise, is usually comparable to the state of the bowel. If the bowel is not
functioning properly the bronchials carry an extra load and become overworked, resulting in breakdown
or atrophy of tissues. This aids the development of a chronic condition in the bronchial tubes similar to the one in the bowel. The bowel could still be functioning daily and be a symptomatic ( no symptoms) however toxic material is still in excess. GALL BLADDER
If an acute condition is indicated in the gall bladder, it indicates irritation and over activity of the gall bladder itself or the bladder wall. When the condition reaches subacute level, the gall bladder is not secreting bile as rapidly as it should.. In the chronic stage, the gall bladder wall is under active, bile is not
being passed off efficiently. Under these circumstances bile tends to thicken and gallstones may form.
Gallstones may be settled but the iris does not indicate the presence of gall stones as Iridology describes tissue activity , not what is in tissue that is not part of the body and there are not nerves connecting the gallstones to make a recording in the Iris. Gallstones are common and it has been
estimated that around 50% of individuals over 50 have gallstones. Gall bladder tissue can be revitalised it all depends on the level of activity. A degenerative condition of the gall bladder could lead to surgery
however this is best avoided If you have a chronic or degenerative condition in the gall bladder it is best
to consult your doctor as well as consider a natural gall bladder cleansing program. LIVER The liver is one of the most vital organs. It is the detoxifying organ as well as having around 500 known functions. Blood is cleansed in the liver as it is cleansed and oxygenated in the lungs. Toxic material is
concentrated and changed into bile which acts as an inciter for the bowels activity. ( peristalsis) and
promotes natural bowel movements. The liver also aids in digestion. Constipation may develop if bile is
not secreted properly. In these circumstances I use the regular formulation as it contains aged Cascara sagrada which works on the gall bladder as well as ginger and liquorice. If the liver is marked as chronic it is best to limit the intake of fats and oils since the liver is largely responsible for their digestion.
The same advice is applicable to the subacute stage. A chronic liver condition is possibly indicative of
hardening of the liver or cirrhosis although Iridology cannot identify diseases from the Iris. Nearly all eliminative diets benefit the liver by cleansing it. As the whole body is cleansed and purified less work is forced on the liver. Nutritious food, clean living, positive thinking ( as the liver is affected by anger) and a good philosophy all affect the liver favourably. A fine herbal formulation for the liver is Blood Purifying
Tonic which supports not only liver function but all organs or purification.
PANCREAS
The pancreas is both an endocrine gland for sugar handling and a digestive organ. An excess of heavy,
refined food overburdens the role of the liver and the pancreas has to overwork to compensate. This
may effect the sugar balance and fat levels in your bloodstream. TESTES AND OVARIES
These glands are probably the most important of the procreative organs because the new generation cell life is propagated in these organs. Secretions from these two organs ( testes in males and ovaries in females) are vital to the preservation of life in addition to being necessary for producing sperm and ovum for the next generation. It is appropriately stated that a person is as young as his or her glands. The
whole body is dependant on strong and active glands. If acute is marked these glands are overactive; Subacute indicates that they have slowed to under active; Chronic indicates that these glands are failing
to support life properly which can be responsible for infertility in Women and impotence or erectile dysfunction in men. An inherently weak ovary may cause irregular menstrual cycles, premenstrual
tension, cramping, heavier flow and breast tenderness especially as nerve rings ( discussed later) enter
the area. If chronic is indicated, growths or cysts can develop, but they are not identified as such by the Iris since only the tissue is observed through the iris and a cyst has no nerve supply and thus not
recorded. In the reading the Iridologist is reading the degree of activity and the amount of toxic material
settled in the organ. Do not underestimate the importance of the bowel in this area due to its close proximity toxic leakage can occur from the bowel to ovaries or testes and prostate and include
mechanical pressure due to any prolaspsus or the bowel or lower lumber spinal difficulties. KIDNEYS The kidney structure is one of the most abused organs in the eliminative chain, largely because most
individuals do not drink the proper water, soups, broths, juices and other liquids. Under functioning skin places an excessive workload on the kidneys. The kidneys must also accept toxic material from the liver, from the bowel and any other eliminative organs which are overloaded or under active. Wintertime forces more work on the kidneys than summer. The skin and kidneys work together; in fact the skin is referred to as the third kidney. Thus hypo activity in skin elimination makes the kidneys overwork and in cases
of kidney disturbance the skin may be involved as well. If the skin needs extra care the body needs to
more fresh air, skin brushing, sunbaths and cotton clothing. If the bowel, the bronchials tubes and the
skin are hypoactive, the kidneys must overwork to try to maintain health. The best formula I have found is Reno supported by minerals and Blood Purifying Tonic. BOWEL In conjunction with most illnesses the bowel will be checked unless you have undergone an extensive healing process and a good eliminative program, added bulk to the diet, improved nutrition and started
an exercise program to develop better bowel tone it is unlikely the bowel will be functioning optimally.
Bowel conditions change according to the program followed. The darkest area in the Iris is always the bowel area. Low grade infections begin in the bowel ( colon) One must prevent under active or chronic
states in the bowel from developing and treat them properly when they do ( which is most times) The blood removes toxic material and cleanses tissues in addition to transporting biochemicals necessary for repair and building; but above all, it carries toxic material from various parts of the body to the most
dominant inherent weaknesses. This means that the toxic material from the bowel will settle in area of
genetic weakness. The bloodstream is as clean as the bowel. Organs are as clean as the blood and
every organ is is as clean as the bowel. Consider the bowel your primary area for care, even if it moves
daily. If it doesnt and/or there is constipation, pain or digestive discomfort in any way even more vital to
restore this area to full functional activity and health. ADRENAL GLANDS
chronic conditions and acute conditions apply to the adrenal glands. Chronically functioning adrenal glands must be cared for. Any chronic condition is indicative of toxicity, that the eliminative organs in the body are not functioning properly, or that various other organs are hypoactive. Under active adrenal
glands may be indicated in low blood pressure, fatigue and possibly in hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar)
Mental depression, lethargy, faulty concentration, memory lapses and mental confusion are all
symptoms of adrenal gland hypo activity, exhaustion or toxicity. LEG Toxic material may have settled in the leg area. Inherent weaknesses may also exist, but it is difficult to
determine whether the muscle structure, the bone marrow, or some other part of the leg structure is affected. Commonly I have found that leg and knee problems originate in the lower back, sacrum, hip and/or bowel. If the leg is inherently weak and/or toxic material is settled there. Varicose veins, a lack of healthy bone marrow, poor circulation, cold extremities can be suspected. Bone marrow complications,
muscular structure problems, calcium deficiency in the leg area may result form weakness in genetically inherited ways. Exercise assists this area for better circulation and healing. Often poor circulation in the
lower extremities corresponds to a lack of blood in the brain ( cerebral anaemia) If this is evident brain or
cerebral anaemia lowers the energy level. Consider appropriate osteopathic treatment, the whole body
concept of health as outlined in you report and the herbal formulations Mineral max 200 and Muscle and
joint formula.
THYROID
An acute check in this area represents a hyperactive thyroid. Chronic indicates hypo activity. The thyroid regulates metabolism, gives you energy, keeps you awake and alert, promotes a feeling of well being and vigour and regulates the functional activity of each organ of the body. A blood test often reflects a normal thyroid function even when it is not and the patient shows thyroid symptoms. On these occasions
a doctor is reluctant to prescribe thyroid medication relying to much on blood thyroid level tests. Over
2/3 of thyroid disorders do not show up in the blood. In cases of hypoactive or hyperactive thyroid iodine is needed. A hyperactive thyroid users an excessive amount of iodine and a hypoactive thyroid lacks
iodine. If the thyroid is checked as toxic, poor elimination is often involved as well as other elimination channels. The formula Thyrogene is best for the thyroid along with an appropriate diet and lifestyle. SPINAL AREAS
Toxic settlements may be found in inherently weak spinal areas. The various spinal areas ( Cranial bones, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum , hip etc) may be under active. In this case calcium is often out of balance or deficient. Proper nerve supply may not be reaching the spinal areas. Inherently weak
spinal areas cannot hold calcium properly. ( an inherent weakness, wherever located, is unable to hold
its necessary biochemical elements. ) The spine, a calcium organ, shows the calcium balance for the whole body. Consider the Mineral Max, Muscle and Joint along with Blood Purifying Tonic and
proper heart function. For all organs the body must be kept as clean as possible. If there is evidence of
hardening of the arteries the heart has difficulty in pumping blood through these particular arteries. A sedentary occupation places a hardship on the heart. In addition, reflex bowel conditions (diverticula,
and so forth) affect the heart area unfavourably. Gas pressure at times may cause problems in the heart and chest. Many heart conditions have been reevaluated and found to be digestive disorders.
Consider a proper exercise program, vitamin E and the herbs Dan Shen, Schisandra and Hawthorn
berry (Cardio). SPLEEN The spleen collects the dead red blood cells. It is also considered an eliminative organ for this reason..
White blood cells are produced in the spleen. Although it is not as important as some other vital organs,
The secondary structures to consider are located also in the Iris chart. Compared to the above primary
considerations they are still vital in that any one can give symptoms of disease. The reason they are consider secondary is that it is the upline organs discussed above that need to be taked care of first or
concurrently with the program or recommendations for secondary areas. PITUITARY GLAND.
Toxic conditions possibly manifest in the pituitary gland as elsewhere in the body. The pituitary gland may show under activity. In this case it is often a contributing factor in obesity by retaining excessive fluids. The pituitary is the master gland, capable of affecting all other gland connected to it in the
glandular chain. If the pituitary is checked, possibly toxic material is settled there and causing sluggishness. A toxic pituitary can cause fuzzy heads, headaches or migraines depending on the degree of toxicity. EYE When the eye is discussed her it refers to the eye structure and its tissue health and pathology. Mineral
balance is involved and if the balance is not normal functions are not right. The eye structure is very complicated, having to do with many kinds of inflammation and related tissue functions. Eyes are
extensions of the brain. And when the eyes are failing, often nerve depletion is settling in the body. Due to its complex nature the eye offers two areas in which to check for signs of pathology One in the eye
itself and the other in the eye area of the Iris chart. From checking the eye area of the chart the
practitioner can ascertain the likely cause whether nutritional, stress related or nerve connections to the
cervical spine or organ relationships such as the cecem area of the colon. Toxic material from the colon
whether by reflex action or toxic infiltration can and does affect the eye. To improve eyesight the whole body needs to be taken into account. One sees with the brain itself. The back of the eye contains some two million rods and cones connected to the brain by nerve filaments which record the various colours visible to the eye. There are over 50,000 nerves connecting the eye structure to the brain through the
optic nerve. The eye is a nerve structure, unique from other tissue of the human body and always
relationship to the prostate and uterus) can affect surrounding tissue. BREAST
Toxic settlements may also be found in the breast area. This organ is made up of lymphoid gland tissue. If toxins are deposited here, the entire body must come to its aid. Cleanliness, a mechanically active
body and the correct biochemical nutrition are essential when chronic conditions develop in the breast
area. The acute stage indicates pain and discharging in many instances. Lumps and congestions are likely to develop in a chronically active organ. Encumbrances or toxins in the breast area are common in
Iridology and may or may not be symptomatic or palpible. The breast area is relatively small in the Iris and may not be mentioned unless the patient specifically asks or has palpable lumps. LYMPH SYSTEM
The lymphatic system covers an area around 1 and 1/2 times the volume of the blood. Here T
Lymphocyte activity is focused. The lymphatic system is a nutritional delivery and drainage system and is frequently found in any of the four levels of tissue activity. The system has no pump of its own apart
from muscular activity and exercise is essential to keep this system healthy. Page 107 of 120
SKIN
The skin is the largest organ to reach the outside of the body and is related to the bowel, thyroid and
kidneys. All eliminative organs are connected to the health of the skin hence local treatment is seldom
effective. Around 3 kilos of toxic waste is eliminated daily from each of four organs bowel, skin, kidneys
and lungs. The lymphatic system is generally considered an eliminative organ because it reaches areas
the blood cannot and carries toxic waste to a point of elimination. The skin will take over from any of
these areas when they are clogged. A proper cleansing program taking care of the liver, kidney, bowel, lymph and lungs and supplementing with complete minerals and vitamins C and A while avoiding junk
food and drinking lots of clean water does the most good for the skin. On occasion hormonal factors may
be involved.
STOMACH
If the stomach is secreting to much or to little hydrochloric acid it is checked. Lack of hydrochloric acid is also checked. An under active secretion of this acid is checked as sub acute or chronic. Either condition requires more sodium foods in the diet because the stomach is a sodium organ. Excess hydrochloric acid rapidly drains sodium and lack of hydrochloric acid indicates a deficiency of sodium. The stomach is probably the most vital organ of the body. It is not always what you eat that counts, it is what is digested. Mental attitude has a powerful influence on digestion. Hate, fear, nerve stress all affect the solar plexus (
pit of the stomach) and digestive system more than anywhere else in the human body. The saying you
make me sick to the stomach, and I cant eat because I dont feel good, are familiar. Joy or in
many years.
SMALL INTESTINE This organ is a principle digestive structure. Many enzymes necessary for digestion and decomposition
of nutrients are produced here. The first criterion for good digestion is thorough mastication or chewing of food. From here the food passes through the hydrochloric bath in the stomach and then enters the
small intestine for final assimilation. The nutrients enter the blood stream in a form assailable by body organs. The organs use this material for construction of new cells and normal repair. PEYERS PATCHES
The peyers patches are located opposite the thyroid area in the Iris chart. Extreme fevers, i.e. scarlet
fever, typhoid fever, have an adverse effect on the peyers patches. Digestive capacity is influenced by the peyers patches as this is where the bulk of nutrient assimilation occurs. If one begins a healthy way of living the Healing crises will eventually recreate extreme fevers responsible for damaging the peyers
patches.
heart disturbance. Cholesterol intake in the diet should be limited ( avoid all heated oils) as a
preventative measure. This is a cholesterol age because hardened, hydrogenated fats and oils are so prevalent. All heated oils add to cholesterol deposits in the body. n addition to indicating cholesterol deposits, the cholesterol ring may indicate calcium out of solution or excessive use of inorganic salt in
the diet.
NERVE RINGS Nerve rings are displayed in the Iris as concentric circles and show the degree which one style is
cramped. Are you struggling to get through life rather than letting life flow smoothly. People are a source of stress and tension and life holds many fears and dreads. Resistance, dissension and unhappiness prevail. Peace, joy, harmony, contentment are lacking to the detriment of the nervous system. Nerve rings are referred to as cramp rings because the fibres of the iris are cramped and tense. The presence of nerve rings indicated by their severity the degree of stress in your life and whether it is physical or
mental. They also show a need for extra calcium, magnesium and nerve herbs. PARASITES There are over 100 types of parasites that can effect human beings. Pinworms, roundworms, threadworms and hookworms are common. Probably the most insidious are the smallest and microscopic variety which can weaken the mucous of the bowel and surrounding membranes and even
migrate to other areas of the blood, lymph and tissues. Parasites cause problems through the toxins they secrete and the viruses that piggy back on them. Parasite infection can weaken your immunity,
imbalance intestinal flora and cause symptoms in almost any body system. OVER ACID BODY CHEMISTRY Acidity is indicated by extreme whiteness of fibres throughout the iris. Acutely white fibres denote pain, inflammation, irritation, rheumatic conditions or preliminary joint disturbances and stiffness. The
breakdown of all tissue produces acidity. An elimination diet causes the eye to become whiter as excessive acids are being eliminated. Acidity also usually denotes a fast working body. An alkaline diet is
the most effective way to reduce systematic acidy along with the two most important herbal supplements; Minerals and Blood purifying tonic. DRUG/CHEMICAL DEPOSITS
The traditional homeopaths who used iridology emphasised that various discoloration in the iris were attributed to drug settlements from drug administration. They found that drug deposits originated in the ancestors or patents of the patient. Considerable discoloration can be traced to inorganic iron in old water pipes. Other chemicals can settle in the body from food additives, pollutants, industrial products
harmful to the body. These foreign substances are toxic to the body and produce harmful side effects.
Many drugs are visible through Iridology. Other drugs accumulate so insidiously and subtly that they are not detected in the iris. Blood purification is generally the most effective means of detoxing drug and
chemical products.
POOR CIRCULATION
The result of poor skin activity, enervation, over abundance of toxic settlements in the body and inherent
weaknesses throughout the body. Poor circulation invariably manifests in the legs and head area. When
arteries have lost elasticity, poor circulation is the result. Active thyroid and adrenal glands are also necessary for good circulation. Adequate oxygen necessary for good circulation is attracted by plenty of
Iron in the diet and in the blood stream. Exercise is the best form of stimulation for poor circulation. ASSIMILATION An assimilation ring is located adjacent to the black pupil of the eye. If this area is darkened, nutrients
are not absorbed well and food is not properly digested in order to build new cells. Assimilation is designated as fair or poor. If mentioned, consider this application applicable. Circulation can be improved
by exercise and the use of digestive stimulant herbs. (alteratives and pungent bitters).
CONCLUSION
Herbs nutrition and iridology go together, iridology determines the extent of nutritions effectiveness in an
individual. All tissues are altered according to the nutritional program applied and the living habits taken up. Improper living habits undermine the body until the body is eventually unable to reverse toxic
conditions; chronic conditions may result. A nutritional program should be of a cleansing nature; if this is
so the iris records favourable changes. Nutrition is not the whole solution, but without it illnesses manifests first subtlety by lack of ease (disease) symptoms followed by the acute (painful) stage, drops down to the sub acute where there is a general susceptibility, then on to the chronic and finally

Nutrition Basics
1. 1.EAT SOME RAW FOOD EVERY DAY. At least 50% of your diet should consist of foods in their natural uncooked state. There are numerous
studies which demonstrate superiority of raw, living foods, both for maintenance of health and prevention of disease. Cooking destroys much of the nutritional value of most foods. Many vitamins are partly
destroyed, minerals are leeched (If boiled in water) and all enzymes are destroyed by temperatures over 120 degrees F. Enzymes are essential to life and without an external supply of enzymes, minerals and vitamins cannot be utilised optimally. 2. EAT NATURAL FOODS
Your food should be whole, unprocessed and unrefined, and be organically grown in fertile soil. They
should be preferably grown in your own environment, and eaten in their season. That your health and longevity are in direct relationship to the naturalness of the foods you eat is a well
established fact. Where natives eat a diet of natural, whole, unprocessed and unrefined foods, they
enjoy perfect health, absence of disease and long life. When denatured, refined, processed, man made
foods, such as white sugar and white flour, and canned and processed foods enter into their lives,
buy anything.
4. COMPLEMENT THE THREE BASIC HEALTH BUILDING FOODS WITH THE FOLLOWING
VEGETABLE JUICES AND/OR GOAT MILK In moderation i.e. No more than 200mls per day. Many individuals cannot tolerate cows milk. Vegetable juices such as carrot, celery
COLD PRESSED VEGETABLE OILS e.g. olive, sunflower or sesame oil. High quality
fresh, cold pressed crude and unrefined vegetable oils are recommended as an addition to your daily diet. The average daily amount should not exceed one tablespoon. Vegetable oils are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins F and E, and Lecithin ( essential for healthy arteries) Make sure that the oils are not rancid ( you can taste rancidity) and that they are actually cold
pressed. The safest way to avoid rancidity is to consume your unsaturated fatty acids by soaking
overnight nuts and seeds such as pumpkin, almond, walnut and sunflower seeds and consuming these
with fruit or grain breakfast. It is essential to soak nuts and seeds overnight and pour off the soaking water ( or water your plants with it). Soaking allows a partial germination of the seed and renders it more
assailable..
HONEY Natural, raw, unheated, unfiltered and unprocessed honey should be the sweetener used instead of sugar. Honey possess nutritional and medicinal properties and
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE FOODS, HERBS AND SPICES Garlic, onions, green leafy

supplemented.
GARLIC a natural antiseptic high in anti cancer factors organic germanium and
selenium. Beneficial for the arteries and lungs, garlic stimulates healthy cell growth and activity. It has a rejuvenate effect on all body functions. It helps dissolve cholesterol in the blood stream, stimulates the lymph system to throw off waste materials, reduces blood
pressure in hypertensive patients, and contains sulphur, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and a lot of B1, zinc, and potassium. Use 2 4 cloves per day. AVOID AN EXCESS OF PROTEIN IN YOUR DIET Seeds, nuts and grains; vegetables and fruits supplemented with the foods and herbs named above,
will assure you a complete and adequate supply of all required nutrients for optimum health, including
actual need is for 3050 grams per day, even less if raw proteins from milk and vegetable sources are use. Almonds, sesame seeds, soybeans, buckwheat, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, potatoes, and all

niacin B3. Meat and fish are okay if you eat them in moderation.
5. DRINK PURE NATURAL WATER Avoid sodium fluoride, chlorine and cadmium from taps. Always run your taps for several minutes before drinking the water, or purchase a good water
filter.
6. USE HERBS LIBERALLY IN YOUR DIET. Herbs are unhybridised concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and active principles all extremely health promoting if used with some knowledge and common sense. Please read the instruction on Points for taking
herbal remedies) Also culinary herbs are protective to many bodily functions including digestion and the health of your immune system and arteries. Special herbal formulas are available in the
ancestors bodies used these periods to cleanse themselves from the toxic wastes accumulated
during periods to cleanse themselves from the toxic wastes accumulated during periods of overindulgence. These periodic fasts also helped to repair and heal any health disorders, give
digestive and elimination organs a rest, and to restore and normalise the functions of all glands
and organs. Because of these involuntary fasts they lived longer and enjoyed better health.
Systematic under eating and periodic fasting are two important health and longevity factors.
Because of our sedentary life, lack of exercise and tendency to overeat, our body mechanisms
need such a spring cleaning to keep in good working order. Also, spring is the best time to fast! Juice fasting has been shown to be the safest and most effective way to restore health, as part of the overall biological therapeutic program. But juice fasting has also a tremendous preventative potential. Periodic juice fasting will speed up the process of elimination of toxic wastes and the dead cells from the body and accelerate and stimulate the building blocks new cells.
Nature has provided a built in mechanism within your brain which will tell you unmistakably when you should eat or drink. You should eat when you are hungry, and drink when you are thirsty. Contrary wise, you should never eat when you are not hungry and you should never drink when you are not thirsty. Your requirements for food
and drink are unique, different from those of everybody else. Food eaten without appetite will do you no good. It will, in fact, harm you by overburdening the digestive organs with
EAT SLOWLY IN A RELAXED UNHURRIED MANNER Chewing thoroughly increases the assimilation of nutrients and makes you feel satisfied with a smaller amount of food. Well
chewed and generously salivated food is practically halfdigested before it enters the stomach. Food eaten in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed will do you more good than food
eaten hurriedly.
EAT SEVERAL SMALL MEALS DURING THE DAY IN PREFERENCE TO A FEW LARGE
MEALS. It is better to eat 4, 5 or 6 small meals a day than 2 or 3 large meals. While 2000 calories eaten at two meals will result in new fat accumulation, the same 2,000 calories eaten
in 6 small meals with 2 to 3 hour intervals, will not only fail to add weight but may actually help
you to reduce.
the DO NOT MIX TOO MANY FOODS AT THE SAME MEAL The fewer foods you mix at
same meal, the better your digestion and assimilation will be.
DO NOT MIX FRUITS AND RAW VEGETABLES AT THE SAME MEAL. vegetables Raw
and raw fruits require totally different enzyme combinations for their effective digestion. The exception to the above rule lemon and papaya. Both can be used with any food. The

PRACTIVE SYSTEMATIC UNDEREATING Overeating, even of health foods, is one of the main causes of disease and premature aging. Food eaten in excess of actual body needs
acts in the system as a poison. It interferes with proper digestion, causes internal
sluggishness, gas, incomplete assimilation of nutrients, putrification in the bowels, thus actually poisoning the system. Overindulgence in protein is particularly harmful. Overeating is
especially dangerous for older people, who are less active and have a slowed up metabolism. 9. AVOID THE FOLLOWING HEALTH DESTROYERS All the following are well proven as potent health destroyers:
All rancid foods, even such health foods as wheat germ, seeds and vegetable oils if they
are not
absolutely fresh. All chemical drugs, except in absolute emergency, try not to use.
clothes, beds or wallpaper, fly killers etc.
All household and environmental toxic chemicals: garden sprays, air fresheners household
chemicals and cleaners, detergents ( use soap flakes) hair sprays, chemically cleaned or treated Avoid amalgam fillings; mercury leakage is a proven fact. Mercury destroys enzymes and attacks the
central nervous system. Avoid a sedentary life and lack of sufficient exercise and relaxation.
Ample regular exercise is imperative for optimum health for two reasons:
1. It will tone up your muscles, improve digestion and general metabolism, keep your eliminative organs doing their work effectively and is general, contribute to the better circulation and better
premature aging is a lack of oxygen in your cells. Vigorous daily exercise will keep all your cells and tissues well oxygenated and in the peak of their efficiency. Relaxation of peace of mind emotional and mental stresses such as fears, anxiety, worries, tensions, depression, hat, jealously, unhappiness, deprivation of love, and loneliness, can cause practically every disease in the medical dictionary including arthritis, ulcers, constipation, asthma, strokes, diabetes, high
or low blood pressure, angina, glandular disturbances, heart disease and cancer.
Relaxation, peace of mind, a positive outlook on life free from fear, hate, jealousy, envy; Love and compassion for yourself and others, these are all powerful health promoting factors without which
optimum health cannot be achieved. When health is lost, it cannot be fully restored unless all the above mentioned underlying emotional and mental stress factors are eliminated or at least reduced. Together
with a good diet vitamin X relaxation peace of mind positive and happy disposition and faith, you
can regain or retain good health and a life free from disease.
Now all the above mentioned factors, positive outlook, free from lethargy and depression, might sound like an impossible order to someone who has been depressed a good part of his or her life, but, we often
forget that the brain is an organ too, and can suffer the effects of dietary imbalances exactly the same way as any other organ in your body. Sometimes there are circumstances that make things very difficult to overcome and at these times it also difficult to eat and live well as the self image suffers, nevertheless know that even this shall pass and make small steps every day. WHEN CONSIDERING DIET A DAILY PERCENTAGE CAN BE WORKED OUT 6 vegetables daily any according to your body type or blood type if you now these

BLOOD GROUPS
The above nutritional guidelines are best modified according to your blood group, if you know it. Blood
groups evolved along with the types of environments and foods that individuals in a group lived in and
consumed. Blood chemistry/groups have been found to be compatible with what the group has grown
accustomed to and developed coping mechanisms and ways to handle the general or specialised foods,
Blood Type A
Type A is the natural vegetarian. This type has sensitive digestive tracts, tolerant immune systems, adapt well to settled dietary and environmental conditions, respond best to stress with calming activities
contain nitrates that promote stomach cancer in people with low levels of stomach acid common in the
type A blood group. They are biologically predisposed to heart disease, cancer and diabetes, but if they
follow this diet they can supercharge their immune systems. When it comes to digesting animal foods, Type As ultimately store meat as fat due to the low stomach
hydrochloric acid. Some experience fluid retention as their systems slowly process the unwieldy foods. dairy foods are also poorly digested by this blood group which commonly eat too much dairy to
compensate what is often an instinctive dislike for meat. The dairy provokes insulin reactions another
factor which can shut down a type As metabolism. Dairy products tend to create mucus discharge in the
sinus and respiratory passages and are high in saturated fats, the kind that compromises the heart and lead to obesity and diabetes. A little yogurt, fetter, goat cheese and ricotta is OK.
The best foods are fish which can be highly beneficial such as carp, cod, grouper, mackerel, red snapper, trout, perch, salmon, sardines and white fish,, but avoid anchovies, barracuda, caviar, crab, crayfish, prawns, herring, oysters, scallops, octopus, mussels, calamari and sole. Soya products are good, as are lentils and black, pinto, and adzuki beans. Avoid chickpeas, kidney, navy and lima beans. A
bananas, melons, mangoes, oranges, papayas and coconuts. Green tea is highly beneficial.
Foods that encourage weight gain include meat, dairy foods, kidney beans, lima beans and wheat ( in
overabundance) Foods that will benefit weight loss, include vegetable oils ( not corn, peanut, sesame
and safflower oil) soy foods, vegetables and pineapple. If type As adopt the lighter techniques, such as yoga or meditation, theyll counter negative stress with
focus and relaxation. Tai chi, yoga, hiking, swimming and bike riding are favoured. Heavy competitive
sports and exercise will only exhaust their nervous energy, making them tenser and leave their immune
Blood Type O
Type Os have overactive immune systems, hardy digestive tracts (when eating suitable foods) are
intolerant to environmental and dietary adaptations, respond best to stress with intense physical activity and require good, efficient metabolisms to stay lean and energetic.
Type Os can efficiently digest and metabolise meats because they tend to have a high stomach acid
content. They should eat lean beef, lamb, turkey, chicken or fish as often as possible. The more stressful their job or demanding their exercise programme, the higher the grade of protein they should eat.
However they need to be careful of the portion size, and balance the meat proteins with the appropriate fruits and vegetables to avoid over acidity.
Type Os dont find dairy products and grains as user friendly as most of the other blood types do in many Blood type Os dairy and grain is as close to a poison and slowly and insidiously creates a
toxaemia that can poison their whole system creating further enzyme deficiencies and a host of allergic
and immune deficient problems. Being an ancient blood group which evolved during a time when human beings did not have both the domestic cow or cultivated grain their digestive systems havent adapted to
them well.
It is best for blood group Os to limit their consumption of grains ( especially wheat) breads, legumes and beans. And limit or exclude altogether all dairy products. Gluten found in wheat is the most toxic and inhibits their insulin production, interfering with the efficient use of kilojoules for energy and taxing the digestive functions also of the pancreas. Allergies are common and come about partly through this
process.

however lower levels of thyroid hormone will manifest as fatigue, cold hands and feet and low immunity

Type Os respond well the Blood Purifying Tonic and minerals as all are deficient in the vital elements these formulas supply. They also respond well to oils such as linseed and olive oil (but not peanut, corn or safflower) and pumpkin seeds and walnuts. Beneficial fruits include plums, prunes, figs, artichokes, broccoli, onions,, garlic, lettuce, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, red capsicums, parsley and spinach. ( unless
a specific allergy has developed over time) Avoid strawberries, melons, oranges, blackberries,
avocados, cabbage, olives, cauliflower, corn, mushrooms, eggplant, alfalfa sprouts and potatoes. Type Os should also work up to cutting out tea, coffee, liquor and soft drinks ( except for soda water.) If the Os want to loose weight they should encourage the use of kelp, seafood, iodised salt, (and especially
from the product Thyrogene which contains the augmenting nutrients such as zinc etc.) liver, red meat,
intense, heavy exercise, such as aerobics, swimming, jogging, weights, contact sports and cycling at least 4 sessions a week is needed to for the best results. If type Os dont release stress through exercise,
their metabolism will slow and theyll suffer depression, fatigue or insomnia, and become vulnerable to
BLOOD TYPE AB
The blood type ABs are modern merging of A and B, and at times are somewhat of an enigma. This type has a chameleons response to changing dietary and environmental conditions, sensitive digestive
tracts, overly tolerant immune systems, which respond best to stress spiritually, with physical verve and
creative energy.
This blood type is rare and biologically complex, merging aspects of type A and type B genes. They have type As low stomach acid, along with type Bs adaptation to meats so although theyre genetically programmed for the consumption of meat, they lack enough stomach acid to metabolise them efficiently,
so its stored as fat. Lamb, mutton, turkey and rabbit are better than beef, cured meats or chicken.
For weight loss, type ABs reflect their consumption of meats, eating small amounts supplemented with
vegetables and tofu. Their type B propensities cause that blood groups insulin reaction when they eat kidney or lima beans, corn, buckwheat or sesame seeds.. However their type A side makes them friendly to lentils and peanuts. They lack the severe reaction to wheat that other blood types have, but for weight
However type ABs should limit and ultimately eliminate artichoke, avocado, corn, mushrooms, olives,
immunity to infection decreases. Unstressful exercise such as yoga and meditation can be very positive
and gentle martial arts, golf, cycling, dancing, stretching and swimming also suit type ABs. Heavy
competitive sports and exercises will only exhaust their energy and eventually make them sick.
Your blood type is one of the keys that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health. Follow a programme suited to your blood type diet and consider complementary dietary supplements such as Blood Purifying Tonic, Mineral Max and appropriate anticatarrhal herbal blends.

BLOOD TYPE B
Blood type Bs have balanced, strong immune systems, tolerant digestive systems, the most flexible dietary choices, respond best to stress with creativity, require a balance between physical and mental
clear of bacon, duck, pork, ham and heart. One of the most difficult adjustments type Bs must make is
giving up chicken, but its worth the effort as it contains harmful antibodies that attack their immune
systems.
Type Bs thrive on seafood The best are carp, cod, grouper, mackerel, red snapper, trout, perch, salmon, sardines and white fish,, but avoid anchovies, barracuda, caviar, crab, crayfish, prawns, herring, oysters, scallops, octopus, mussels, calamari and sole. The B blood group are the only type can that usually fully enjoy a variety of dairy foods. Soya milks and cheeses are okay; but shouldnt be substituted for dairy, meat and fish. Instead add them for variety, as they dont have the many health benefits for type Bs that they do for other blood types. Avoid ice cream, and most oils except olive oil. Most fruits and vegetables are beneficial for people in this blood group,, but avoid tomatoes, corn, avocado, pumpkin,
Food that encourage weight gain in type Bs include corn, lentils, peanuts, sesame seeds, buckwheat, wheat, while green vegetables, meat, eggs, low fat dairy products, liver and liquorice tea will aid weight
loss.
Type Bs respond well to stress. Therefore they need exercises that are neither too aerobic nor
completely aimed at relaxation. The ideal balance includes activities that involve other people such as
group hiking, biking excursions, martial arts and tennis. People in this blood group dont do well when
