Moving Humanity Beyond Disease

When two or more compatible herbs are put together in a balanced formula and potentised using alchemic principles incorporating natural substances to enhance the biocompatibility to the consumer, a
remedy is created which is greater than the sum of its parts. This remedy provides optimum absorption

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.

The Magic Of Herbs

Herbs are in tune with the rhythms of the cosmos. Like all

sentient beings they have wisdom, will and emotion.

Plants exist to transmute light into life through the process of photosynthesis. Human beings exist to transmute life into

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.

What Do Herbs Do?

In basic terms herbs/plants do four things:

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

manner that they are consumed.

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.

The Three Stages Of Recovery

When embarking on a true healing path some laws and principles and the process involved needs to be
understood. There are 3 distinct stages of total recovery and each stage varies as to the length of time it takes. They do not always occur in the following order.

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

have a "healing crisis" of some description.

There may be mucus or what appears to be a cold or flu. Pain may be experienced in the body as toxins

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

mismanaged in the past.

Drink lots of water and try not to suppress the healing process by denying feelings or by using drugs to
suppress. If there were joint pains before you started the programme and after an initial improvement

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

setbacks, but eventually should lead to complete restoration of health.

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

From there a maintenance programme can be followed.

Sometimes you have to get sick in order to get well. Toxins will be on the move and as this happens it is
important for you to be aware that it is an opportunity to heal in a deeper way. Always seek support from loving friends and your skilled practitioners. Other herbal, homoeopathic or home treatments can aid this

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

growth, awakening and health will surely come.

Be consistent with your programme. Although many experience rapid and almost miraculous relief, it doesn't disappear overnight. It took years to get this way, and if you haven't given it at least ninety days,

you haven't given it a fair go.

Please report any changes of health and discontinue any programme you are unwilling to take full

responsibly for, including healing or cleansing reactions.

Points On Taking Herbs

1. Start slowly. Because herbs are concentrated nutrition, many contain active principles. A good rule of thumb is to start with half of the recommended dose and build up slowly. 2. Always drink plenty of water with the encapsulated or concentrated herbs.
3. Herbs Activate normal bodily processes, they help Build new tissues and help to Cleanse toxins from

the physiology. This is called the A. B. C. of herbs.

4. You may experience some discomfort initially as toxins are cleansed from your body. Reduce the formulas appropriately, then come back to the original dose. Never allow diarrhoea or watery motions

to continue longer than three days.

5. New Zealand Herbals formulations are food supplements to be used as additions to the everyday

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

dissolve quickly and allow for efficient use by the body.

7. Too many combination herbs should not be used closely together. This may "confuse" the remedy,

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

help in choosing a herbal programme during pregnancy.

10. Use the herbal programme for at least ninety days. After that period of time, please discuss with your practitioner a maintenance programme. Bear in mind that even acute situations can arise from a

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

treated with kindness and respect.

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

such as pesticides, sprays, preservatives, colouring agents, and bacterial wastes.

Even a good diet eaten under stress, or poorly combined, creates toxic byproducts. Even thoughts

create chemicals, toxic or beneficial depending on the thought created.

Your 100 trillion cells are dependent on a healthy blood stream to provide the source for all they are. As these cells divide creating a whole new body in around 3 months, the quality of their reproduction depends on good daily routine, organic food, and plants rich in blood purifying mineral salts and other

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

intended. It can then produce healthy tissues.

Blood purifying tonics are herbs that contain nutrient rich mineral salts and active principles which have a cleansing effect on the blood stream. These herbs are often bitter and contain high levels of organic

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

being strengthened and enhanced.

In the human physiology chlorophyll is transmuted into healthy haemoglobin, the red blood cell. As usual

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.

Blood Purifying Tonic

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

therefore helps to improve cellular health.

This is not to say that a blood purifying tonic will remove all wastes from the body. Although the remedy can partially compensate for poor lifestyle choices and other environmental factors, the introduction of

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

effects caused by excess toxins found within the blood.

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. 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

diagnosed as having a murky iris.

Most chronic disease can be traced back, to one extent or another, to toxins found within the blood. Therefore, this remedy is often prescribed as a booster to other herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional

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

areas or areas of psychological and physical stress.

The body will attempt to get rid of this material vicariously (abnormally) through other channels of elimination. In acute situations it will eliminate it through the mucus channels of the lymphatic system,

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

build up and create toxins upsetting the whole balance.

If these toxins are injected into a guinea pig they will kill it in 20 minutes. We are bigger than guinea pigs but these toxins can kill us just as surely maybe a little slower. Bowel cleansing is the primary starting
place in a naturopathic programme. Diet, exercise and herbal remedies help to dislodge impacted

material and move them naturally and effortlessly. All the bodily tissues benefit.

Page 14 of 120

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

enter the blood stream.

New Zealand Herbals Regular Bowel 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:

Cascara Sagrada: This herb comes from the inner bark of the cascara tree.

When aged and

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

waste). Unlike other laxatives, it restores tone to the bowel.

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

factor in a health restorative programme.

Pro Cleanse contains Barley grass, alfalfa leaf, psyllium hulls, malt, wholegrain brown rice, barley,

wheat, oats, rye, maize, milllet, buckwheat, flax seed, alfalfa, mung beans, soy beans, linseeds,
buckwheat, sunflower kernals, whey protein concentrate, malt, molasses, green ginger, lemon juice, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. delbruekii, L. caseii, L. bulgaricus, L.causasicus, L. fermenti, L. plantarum,

L. brevis, L. heleveicus, and L. leichmannii.

Some of the key ingredients in this formula are:

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

the lungs, liver and colon.

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

calcium, improving the synthesis of vitamins and the predigestion of proteins.

Typical Dose: One heaped teaspoon in 250mls water one to three times daily. Mix well and drink

immediately. Can be flavoured with lemon and barley concentrate or grape juice if necessary.

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,

potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and Bcomplex).

Echinacea Root: Echinacea is an immunostimulant shown in clinical tests to enhance resistance to

both viral and bacterial infections. It is well suited to the treatment of all chronic immune disorders

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

promote stamina and normal adrenal function.

PRECAUTIONS: Kidney problems can be very serious. Always seek the advice and guidance of your

general practice doctor or naturopath if your symptoms are not alleviated. Typical Dose: Ten to twenty drops three times daily.

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

pathways and cellular functions.

About 50% of all body enzymes are known to require minerals to promote effective metabolism; without minerals these enzymes cannot function properly and the organism dies. A single atom of iron for example can increase the rate of activity of the enzyme catalyse from 50 to about 100,000 molecules

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

soils and the plants which transmute and assimilate them.

Today it is virtually impossible to get adequate mineral saturation from the food we eat. Current

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

those minerals alone.

All minerals are codependant on one another and too much of any one can give a relative imbalance to
others. They are not always on a one to one basis; for example for better calcium absorption silica is

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

absorbed without a complete saturation of all the minerals.

While scientists can make artificial seawater in the laboratory, no fish will live in it. Only plants can supply this biologically complex stuff of life, and only organic plants can supply them as nature intended. Herbs

are unhybridised and contain minerals in natural and concentrated form.

They are naturally chelated (bound with proteins) and along with good diet and daily routine, well chosen

herbal nutritive tonics are rich in all the minerals and cofactors necessary to address and maintain total

bodily health.

Page 19 of 120

Twelve Points on Taking Minerals

1. According to Senate Document No. 264 (official publication), 99% of American people are deficient in minerals, and a marked deficiency in any one of the important minerals actually results in disease!
2. The body is equipped to chelate only a small amount of some inorganic elements from nature, therefore, the body requires the minerals to come from plants in a chelated form so that they may be

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.

This state must be maintained for

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!
5. Trace chelated minerals are more important in nutritional terms than vitamins. Vitamins can be

synthesised by living matter, minerals cannot.

6. Vitamins are required for every biochemical activity of the body. Vitamins cannot function unless

minerals are present.

7. Minerals are the catalysts that make enzyme functions possible. Chelated minerals combine with enzymes into an alkaline detoxifying agent which neutralises the acid metabolic byproducts of the

cells and other toxic conditions within the body and prepares them for elimination. 8. Hormonal secretions of glands is dependent upon mineral stimulation.

9. The acidalkaline balance (ph) of the tissue fluid is controlled by minerals.

10. All elements work together as a collective whole. If there is a shortage of just one mineral, the balance of the entire activities of the body can be thrown awry. A deficiency of one mineral may

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

chelated minerals in balance to regain and maintain good health.

12. Minerals are, therefore, justified as a supplementary dietary substances, especially in these days

when the mineral content of our fruits and vegetables are destroyed by petrochemicals and synthetic fertilisers and lack of organic structures in the soil. Minerals are the lowest common denominator in disease, representing the basic building blocks of the body.

Mineral Max
Max is a combination of herbals that are very high in mineral content as well as being in Mineral an
alkalised form (which is more suited to the human physiology). Mineral Max contains around 80% alkalising minerals, and 20% acid forming minerals the perfect balance for the human physiology. This formula aids in reducing systemic acidity and provides sixty seven minerals and trace elements, for

this reason it is often used as the foundation for all herbal programmes. Minerals are essential for the
effectiveness of any chosen remedy! However, it is important to consistently take this product for at least three months in order for full mineral saturation to occur (it takes the body this long to recharge). Herbs contained within this remedy include:

Alfalfa: This amazing herb contains more minerals and trace elements within an alkaline reaction
than any other known herb! Rich in chlorophyll and cholesterol lowering properties, it has strong blood cleansing and building properties. It contains almost all known vitamins, minerals, and trace elements including vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K, as well as niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, as well as eight essential amino acids! It combines well with other natural supplements and is well known as a nutritive tonic which cleanses and detoxifies the body. It also provides the raw materials that the body needs for regeneration, electrochemical activity, and all metabolic processes! A truly amazing herb!!

Barley Grass: Barley grass contains one of the highest known herbal quantities of life
giving chlorophyll. Chlorophyll which is the natural process that plants use to obtain food from sunlight is well known as being essential to our daily diets.

Psyllium Hulls: Renowned as the finest lubricating and bulk laxative in the plant world. Through its
bulking action it aids in the even distribution of organic minerals contained within the formula.

Where there are mineral deficiencies, inadequately processed food and metabolic wastes encumbering the intestinal mucosa, psyllium hulls will gently remove waste materials and encourage
healthy peristalsis, and therefore, along with other formulas improve the assimilation of all other

nutrients.

Slippery Elm: A highly nutritive tonic food for all conditions of deficiency.

It helps to

rebuild the plasma element of the body and to restore mucus membranes (particularly of the lungs and

stomach).

Its emollient action is very soothing for inflamed or ulcerated membranes and surfaces. It is high in
niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamins E, F, and K. It also contains the minerals calcium, iron, sodium, selenium, iodine, copper, zinc, potassium, and phosphorus! It has as much nourishment as

oatmeal.

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

The Thyroid
Gland of the Emotions

Page 22 of 120

The Thyroid Gland

There is a whole cluster of symptoms that may be present in persons with low thyroid function or hypothyroid. These symptoms are very common, especially among women and children. This is due to
deficiencies of iodine, zinc, vitamins A, C, E, B2, B3, B6, the essential fatty acids, trace minerals and the

amino acid, tyrosine.

The thyroid function is inhibited by chlorine and fluoride in water, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, transfatty

acids, (all cooking oils), elevated oestrogen levels, direct Xrays and emotional stress.
Hypothyroidism involves the underproduction of the thyroid hormone, thyroxin, and is a very common symptom in New Zealand with our iodinedeficient soils and diet. According to Dr. Stephen E. Langer "even a seemingly slight deficiency in thyroid hormone can cause an incredible number and variety of

sabotaging physical, emotional and mental ailments.

The early stages of hypothyroidism do not show up in blood tests and are marked by decreased energy and depression. The next stage is marked by fatigue, dry skin, constipation, cold extremities, and some mental hassles such as poor memory and concentration, irritability and lethargy or slowness. The final
and most advanced stage shows up in the blood tests as a measurable deficiency in the circulating thyroid hormone. This is marked by many symptoms including extreme weakness, very dry skin, coarse hair, constipation, lethargy, memory impairment, very cold hands, feet and body, weight gain, muscle

cramps, persistent back aches, anaemia (not iron induced), easy bruising, arthritis, stiff joints, general
stiffness, knee pains and degeneration, sore muscles, swollen feet, spinal corrections that won't hold, nervousness, heart muscle weakness, brittle nails, premature grey hair, irritability, recurrent colds, flu,

throat, nose and respiratory infections, lowered immunity, sluggishness, low blood sugar, poor
assimilation of food, decreased ability to detoxify, migraine headaches, decreased oxygen utilisation, hardening of the arteries, increased susceptibility to cancer, heart pathology, and diabetes (which has

symptoms very similar to hypothyroidism and probably overlap).

Remember, hypothyroidism is marked by coldness, fatigue, lowered immunity and depression and according to Dr Broda Barnes, an expert in thyroid disorders over two thirds of hypothyroids do not

show up in blood tests.

WOMEN: Among women the symptoms are legion, including vaginal infections, leucorrhoea, candida, lowered libido ( sexual desire) poor complexion, acne, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, flooding periods, fibroids, cysts, infertility, miscarriages, toxaemia of pregnancy, P.M.T., sore breasts, oedema, irritability,

post partum depression, increased incidence of breast cancer, excess oestrogen levels, cold hands and
feet and cold personality. The mental symptoms can be the worst such as uncontrolled anger and suspiciousness, failing memory, chronic nervous exhaustion, neurosis, and feeling very tired. Depression

is often a sign of thyroid failure where psychiatric techniques do not help beyond the palliative.
CHILDREN: Dr Broda Barnes, author of the classic book, "Hypothyroid, the Unsuspecting Illness" states

"I have seen many children who suffered from repeated colds, followed by complications such as; tonsilitis, sinusitis, ear and mastoid infections, who needed repeated antibiotics and went right on getting new infections until their hypothyroid was treated" Other symptoms noted in children with suspected hypothyroid are... frequent temper tantrums, short attention span, lacking in self confidence, slow

progress in school, a slow starter and difficulty engaging with other children.
DETECTING HYPOTHYROID Studies at the vascular Research Foundation in New York observed that laboratory tests failed to uncover even a minute fraction of hypothyroids. Clinical tests that have some degree of accuracy are 1.

hyroid conditions are extremely common, often being passed down from one generation to the next. Incorrect thyroid functioning can result in a poor metabolic rate, lack of immunity, poor mineral

Symptoms of improper thyroid functioning can include any one of the following symptoms:

Continuous tiredness.
Underweight or overweight body types with no clear explanation for their size.

Cold hands and feet.

Difficulties with menstruation. A number of mental symptoms including nervousness, stress, mood swings, and depression.

Thryogene feeds the thyroid rather than stimulating it. It is a nontoxic, nonhormonal preparation designed to go alongside a healthy diet to supply optimum thyroid function. This remedy can also be used where there is a perceived need for additional iodine or if one is suffering from a hypothyroid

condition. New Zealand Herbals Thyrogene 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:

Iodine: Iodine is an essential trace mineral necessary for the thyroid gland to function properly. It is required only in small amounts as a component of the thyroxin hormone produced by the thyroid
gland. Most of the iodine contained within the body is held in the thyroid gland. Some of the main functions of iodine within the human body include: Aids in all nutritive processes and energy production (thereby increasing fat metabolism).

Balances the glandular system. Has a factor in the colour and texture of hair. Stimulates the circulatory system.
The importance of iodine can not be understated since it has a profound effect on all tissues and

glands of the body iodine deficiency is a growing epidemic within New Zealand and unfortunately most people who suffer from this deficiency will not be aware of it.
Colloidal Minerals:

Our body tissues are mildly saline and it has been postulated that this internal

environment is similar to that of the sea where we supposedly evolved. New Zealand Herbals colloidal minerals are taken from an ancient seabed and contain uncontaminated fossil seawater

which is rich in all known minerals and trace elements.

Zinc: Zinc is another essential mineral needed for the thyroid gland to function properly. It helps the
body to break down alcohol, aids vitamin B1 and carbohydrate assimilation, heals wounds and

burns, maintains healthy body tissues, encourages normal prostate function, and aids with
reproductive organ growth and development. It also helps to promote growth, mental alertness, restores a sense of taste, helps in the treatment of infertility, and eliminates white spots on the

fingernails.
PRECAUTIONS: Do not use this product if you are presently taking a prescription thyroid medication

(such as Thyroxine) unless you have consulted with your general practice doctor. Typical Dose: Five to ten drops twice daily. You may wish to take the remedy with water or fruit juice.

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,

copper, chlorophyll, phosphorus and adequate amounts of stomach hydrochloric acid.

Deficiencies of any of these factors can cause blood disorders that mimic iron deficiency and these must all be present to facilitate its proper absorption and utilisation. Shallow breathing can be both a

deficiency sign and a partial cause of iron deficiency.

Not only are mineral and vitamin deficiencies common, or rather, the rule in New Zealand, sufficient hydrochloric acid production is often below optimum after or during periods of stress, and as we get

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

host of companion diseases.

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

triggering factor is necessary for it to become acute or chronic.

Page 31 of 120

Chronic asthma is where the symptoms are ongoing. Hardly a day or at least a week goes by without the need for medication or home care of some sort.
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

long term smoking.

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

foods e.g. packaged soups, seasonings and sauces.

Tartrazine is the yellow, orange colouring found in many fruit juices, cordials, sweets desserts, toppings,

sauces and pickles.

A common cause of asthma is a build up of acid mucus throughout the system. The disease itself is an attempt by the body to correct the problem. Mucus forming white bread, white sugar, excess dairy products, and chemicals aggravate the problem and create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and a source of irritation to the mucus membranes of

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.
Herbal Remedies Shown to Have a Beneficial Affect on Asthma. ELECAMPANE: Elecampane is a gentle, stimulating expectorant with a strengthening and tonic action

Tissues & Joints

Everyone at some stage in their life experiences one or more of the stages of arthritis.

Page 36 of 120

The Eleven Stages of Arthritis

Stage 1. CATARRH
Catarrh often begins in children from the age of three to eleven. This is a toxic form of mucus. There may
be bronchitis (a catarrhal condition of the lungs), constipation and tonsillitis, a Bacillus Coli infection

which is the earliest onset of all rheumatic and arthritic disorders.

Stage 2. COLD HANDS AND FEET.

This may be associated with increase or decrease in body weight. The "soft sand" sound in joints may now be detected with movements. This is caused by small "crystals" of mineral salts and toxins out of

solution.

Stage 3. FIBROSITIS.
Muscular pains, stringy and hard sinews, shoulder and neck pain. Fibrositis inflammation of the muscle

fibres. There may be disc strain. This may lead to the next stage.

Stage 4. LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, AND STIFF, PAINFUL MUSCLE MOVEMENTS

These are typical characteristic of this stage. The muscles are stiff after resting, but better after

movement. These are danger signals and osteopathic or chiropractic treatment may not be advisable as

the rheumatism has developed to early arthritis.

Stage 5. MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.

This is where the condition has reached to the point of inflammation of the muscle sheaths and acute pain of the muscles occurs. Here the blood is starting to thicken and there is a slowing down of the

circulation. Arthritis may affect the hands and feet first.

Stage 6. ORGANIC.
Here the organs are affected. Symptoms may relate to the bowel, thyroid, liver , kidney or spleen, and it takes expert diagnosis to isolate the primary cause. The organs of the body have become toxic and this
is often associated with constipation where the bowel has not cleared the body properly of waste. Any

recovery from this stage will take as many months as years it has been in the process of development.

Stage 7. WEATHER AGGRAVATES.

This level is even more serious and symptoms are made worse by wet weather. This is due to the fibrous and toughened ligaments which tighten like tense strings in damp weather or during weather changes. This tightening draws the joints more closely together, and if the cartilages or joints have

already become affected, joint movement becomes more painful.

Stage 8. VARICOSE VEINS AND BLOOD VISCOSITY.

There is steady physical deterioration due to the preceding stages and the blood viscosity (platelet

aggregation) causes varicose veins in the legs. There is general calcification and malfunction throughout
the body. The skin becomes wrinkled, body temperature of the extremities is lower than that of the trunk

and the overall circulation is lessened. All this is the result of calcification of the arterioles, the fine veins below the skin. The patient feels the cold and is often tired.

Page 37 of 120

Stage 9. OSTEOARTHRITIS.
May be triggered by an injury. If there is deviation in the spine, this can compress the spinal nerves and
affect organ and limb functions. There is calcification of the spine as the body's response to the irritated

nerves. This calcification can extend to the joints of the limbs such as osteoarthritis of the hip.

Stage 10. ARTHRITIS DEFORMANS.

Mainly involves the joints and the muscles. There is hardened and stringy tissue and muscle fibres. This fibrous tissue has become much more dense much like the difference between young chicken and old.
Here there is very often distortions of the joints especially the hands and feet. The spine itself can

become fused together with calcified deposits and become drawn forward and fixed in this position.

Stage 11. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

This stage is marked by loss of weight and excess nervous energy. There is endocrine gland imbalance.
Its origin is often due to a mechanical disturbance of the sacroiliac joint very often caused at birth. There

may be kidney, adrenal and thyroid imbalance.

disorders, eruptions, inflammations, ulcerations, and as a poultice on breaks and strains.

adrenal glands which in turn produce their own cortisone.

Calcium & Osteoporosis

Around 25% of post menopausal women have calcium loss and for osteoporosis to show on a bone
density scan over 30% bone loss has already occurred. A lack of calcium is the major cause of

osteoporosis, the gradual loss of bone mass resulting in increased fractures, loss of height, pain in the

hip and back, and spinal curvature.

The risk of developing osteoporosis increases with age, as the peak bone mass is achieved at about 35
years of age. In New Zealand we consume arguably more dairy products than anywhere in the world yet

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 from milk it gets it from green grass!

The fact is that all green leafy vegetables contain calcium, and most fruit and nuts contain ample

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:

Have a fair complexion. Have experienced early menopause.

Smoke.
Have had their ovaries removed.
Drink excessive amount of alcohol.

Have a diet low in calcium. Regularly use cortisone, antiseizure medication or anticoagulants. Have overactive endocrine glands.
It is recommended that you avoid:

Are thin and have small bones.

Have a family history of osteoporosis.

Have a relative progesterone deficiency.

Are not physically active. Have a high intake of coffee, tea or soft drink.

Have digestive disorders.

Have chronic liver or kidney disease.

Soft drinks. Alcohol.

Smoking.
Coffee and tea.

High protein animal foods. Unripe citrus fruits.

Sugar and excessive amounts of salt. Excessive use of pharmaceutical drugs.

Instead you should emphasis:

Vegetables and fruit, especially broccoli. Green vegetables are the most beneficial. Flounder and sardines, salmon with bones (protein).

Kelp, molasses, nuts and seeds, especially sesame seeds, cod liver oil.
At least six vegetables daily, two fruits, one protein, one or more complex carbohydrate (wholegrain,

potatoes).

Exercise by walking at least nine kilometres weekly 3 kilometres, 3 times per week.

ne of the most important themes in our lives is our choices of how we are going to spend our time
and what inspires us the most. A major difference between these two could well create an anxiety or

depressive state within us. It could well be mindful to stop viewing our depressions and anxieties as

something to be got rid of and to begin to view them as messages which have the potential to bring life

enhancing change.

Anxiety and depression always speak out that something is wrong. For some this could be physical condition which needs to be put right. For others it could be an emotional or psychological condition which could be worked through with a counsellor healer you are comfortable with and trust. For others

it could well be a spiritual condition a calling from the heart to begin to seek your truth.
Anxiety can be described as an intense state of apprehension or worry which may lead to obsessive compulsive states such a reactive or circumstantial depression which is the result of a traumatic situation such as the death or loss of a loved one. Anxiety can be the result of uncertainty of the future or the loss of the solid foundations you once hoped for or depended on. In its essence anxiety masks people getting

in touch with their own power.

Depression can be observed as signs of insomnia, appetite loss, significant weight changes, loss of interest or motivation in life, suicidal thoughts and functional disorders of physiology which are

undetectable in medical tests.

In the normal process of life and relating we have a cycle of awareness. At any one time the awareness
or the resting state of ease will experience excitation and a movement creating a contact and then a

withdrawal and back to awareness.

In all transactions from using a toothbrush to meeting a friend, playing tennis or shopping there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. If in any of these processes a blockage occurs preventing the

completion of the cycle a lack of ease results. This lack of ease can manifest as any disease but usually
begins as a subtle levels of feeling and if unresolved or incomplete they can become anxiety or

depressive states.
In living out our lives it is impossible that no offences should come. If our responses to these remain un dealt with they stay in the body\mind and express themselves as spiritual emotional, mental and

physical disorders.

In healing anxiety and depression, understanding is first required to know that what is commonly deemed a breakdown may well be a spiritual awakening.
The things that trigger it are many. In the 1960s two American psychologists, Thomas Holmes and

Richard Rahe constructed a list of the most stressful events we can experience, these were then rated in terms of the amount of stress they imposed

In many ways anxiety and depression are part of a grief cycle. Grief is normal, natural process which a
healthy adjustment to death or any other significant change in his or her life.

The stages of grief: 1. Shock, denial, numbness, disbelief.

2. Emotional and physical reactions may be crying, distress, disturbed sleeping

and

eating patterns, inability to concentrate and headaches. 3. Depression, loneliness, despair, panic.
4. Guilt. Why wasnt I; why couldnt I; have done\been something\somewhere else.

5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Anger/Resentment wanting to hit out/ frustration Blame its all their fault. Idealisation. thinking things were better then they were. Hope the future may not be so bad. Acceptance and readjustment.

What to do in times of anxiety and depression? 1. Give yourself time. No one can put a time on it whether it is days months or years. 2. Find a good counsellor/ healer you feel absolutely comfortable with.

3. Eat warm nourishing meals this is not a time for fasting or punishment.
4. Stay away from judgmental people this is sacred time for you.

5. Use herbal, Homeopathic and nutritional allies.

Be gentle with yourself if you will not be your unconditional friend who will be?
When we become stressed, our adrenal glands release adrenaline and noradrenaline into the blood stream. These powerfully stimulating hormones, which are also produced from nerve cells, act as

chemical messengers affecting almost every organ in the body, including the eyes, intestines, bladder,

and bowel.
Anxiety and depression can lead to almost any health problem but in particular the most common

disorders are: Irritable bowel syndrome colitis, constipation, diarrhoea, chrones disease and sleeping

disorders, nervousness such as shaking, agoraphobia, headaches and chronic fatigue.

Prostate
The prostate is a cluster of glands surrounding the urethra at the point where it leaves the bladder. It is
thought that the addition of secretions produced by the gland to the seminal fluid stimulate and active

movement of the sperm.

SOME DISORDERS OF THE PROSTATE:

Enlarged Prostate
This is characterised by progressively restricted urinary flow, urgency and nocturia, hesitancy and

intermittency with reduced force and calibre of urine.

Prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate gland. Usually a result of urinary tract infection, it is characterised by an acute attack that makes you feel generally ill, with a high fever, chills, and pain in and around your penis. Later as the prostate becomes increasingly swollen and tender, there is difficulty and pain in passing

urine through the narrowed urethra. Cancer of the Prostate

This malignant growth on the gland does not progress in the manner typical of most cancers and often
lies dormant, seldom causing symptoms or giving rise to health problems. If the cancer is not discovered

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,

poisoning the prostate.

2. Food and chemical factors implicated in prostate cancer are cadmium and other chemicals from

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.
6. Emotional factors: These include a past history of sexual abuse and / or relationship issues where a
healthy sex life has not occurred within the relationship. Marriage or partnership breakup, or guilt /

shame complexes existing consciously or unconsciously.

Mens Tonic

ew Zealand Herbals Mens Tonic is a collection of herbs designed specifically for needs of the male anatomy. Sexual dysfunctions in men (such as low sperm count, impotence, etc) may also be

treated with this remedy. This remedy also provides benefits to those who are athletic and which to have

an edge over their competitors and to those who are fatigued. Herbs contained within this remedy include:

Withania: Withania has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a regenerative

tonic
particularly for the muscles, marrow, and semen. It is used in all conditions where there is a weakness or tissue deficiency and for those who are overworked, stressed, lack sleep, have nervous

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.

Skullcap: Skullcap has been traditionally used as a nerve tonic. It is said to calm the heart, promote awareness, clarity and detachment as it restores control over the senses.
Classed by herbalists as a nervine tonic, antispasmodic, and anticonvulsant, it contains calcium,

potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C & E.

Damiana: It has been suggested that Damiana can be used to increase sperm count in males and

strengthen the egg in females. It is useful in increasing sexual prowess.

This herb has been said to be one of the most popular and safest of all plants claimed to restore

natural sexual capacities and functions.

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

promote stamina and normal adrenal function.

Panax Ginseng: Panax is one of the most important energising herbs traditionally used n Chinese herbal medicine. It is said to be transforming, nourishing, and warming to body tissues and the blood

stream.
It is said to calm the spirit and has been used to alleviate conditions of anxiety, stress, fatigue,

reduced resistance, and lowered libido. Ginseng increases the oxygen carrying ability of the blood
and allows the muscle to use more of the available fatty acids contained within the blood stream. Its

overall effect is energising, and it is particularly suited towards men.

Typical Dose: Twenty to thirty drops, twice daily. This remedy may take one to three weeks before any

effects are noticed.

The Developing Child

development is especially affected by nutritional factors as well as environmental influences.

uring the developing years the child's nervous system and brain are extremely sensitive. Acting like a sponge to all sensory input, habits which constitute character find a fertile breeding ground. Brain

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

chemically laden breakfast cereals.

Organic food is best for old and young alike, and if given the chance children will eventually choose

whole, alive and non toxic food. In my practice I have seen many times how children will eventually ask
for fresh, rather than processed food, and more times than not actually ask for more of some of the bitter

tonics prescribed by the herbalist.

We must not judge the taste buds of children by the measuring gauge of our own distorted tastes.

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. Traditionally, herbal remedies have come to the aid of the developing child and I have personally been amazed at how

quickly children respond to them.

Herbs used traditionally for the brain and nervous system are: bacopa, schisandra, rosemary, and

Siberian ginseng. Other effective herbs are: skullcap, blessed thistle, gotu kola, withania and ginkgo.

Page 54 of 120

Children

hildren is a careful selection of herbs that have been shown in herbal medicine to be of great benefit
to children. These specially picked herbs have been shown to enhance childrens concentration, co

ordination, and learning.

Benefits to children who suffer from an intellectual disability (or those who have Attention Deficiency Syndrome) have been shown as well as an overall improvement in behaviour and learning in most

children.
The benefits of the Children formula is not only limited to children. Older persons who have suffered

from a stroke, convalescence, Alzheimers disease or dementia have also shown progress through the

use of this remedy.

New Zealand Herbals Children 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:

Bacopa: A traditional Ayurvedic herb, often used as a brain tonic to improve memory and learning. However, other benefits include its use in the treatment of epilepsy, insanity, nervous breakdown,

and exhaustion.

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.

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 microcosms which in turn increase the livers ability to detoxify foreign substances within the body.
Siberian Ginseng: This herb helps the body to adapt to changes within the environment and

increases resistance to radiation and other stressed (including physical, chemical, and biological). Studies on healthy individuals who have consumed Siberian ginseng have shown that the consumption of this herb tends to improve mental and physical performance (including stamina).
New Zealand Herbals Children formula is an excellent and safe remedy for all children. However, we also have a number of other products that may be of great benefit to your child (particularly if good

nutrition has been lacking). Please contact us for further details or arrange an appointment with one of our practitioners for a full diagnosis of any ailments which may be troubling your child. Typical Dose: Ten to fifteen drops, two to three times a day.

Worms
&

Parasites
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

are just as content with a human host.

Unwashed vegetables, improperly cooked meat, uncovered sandpits and the habit of walking barefoot through the streets, paddocks or fields leave many risks for parasite infection to the point that it is rare in

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
make "Swiss cheese" out of your organs, including migrating to the top of the lungs, creating

asthma. Allergies can be the first reaction.

Individuals infected with worms may feel bloated, tired or hungry. They may have trouble thinking clearly,

have gas, eczema, or asthma and feel generally toxic. If they are children they may exhibit "hyperactive
behaviour", have itchy bottoms and vaginas, may be anaemic, grind teeth and be restless at night,

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
undernourished and full of either viral, fungal, or bacterial infections, and may have various types of

chemical and heavy metal poisoning.

When addressing the parasite issue the whole person must be addressed including the persons lifestyle, diet and hygiene habits. It often involves first detoxifying the body followed by nutritional rebuilding.
This along with an understanding of how the infection was acquired and how to avoid the infection in the future will allow the individual to become more self reliant in the area of health care. A mild food diet

should be followed, avoiding as much as possible mucus forming foods such as white bread and white

flour.

The Sweet Taste

Pure, white, and deadly!

Page 59 of 120

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

moodiness, and, especially in children hyperactivity.

These facts are well known, yet still many are not aware of the hidden sugars in today's processed foods. The accompanying chemical preservatives, dyes and colouring agents makes the problem far

worse. One only needs to see the children's behaviour the day after a birthday party with its traditional

sugary jellies, lollies and icecream.

While sugar is an essential substances, it is normally found in nature accompanied by adequate nutrients that help its processing and assimilation. Sugar is found in complex carbohydrates, and also the sweet taste is found in flesh foods. In these complex foods is found the key to its metabolism.

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

nutrients needed to digest and assimilate them.

To guard against the over consumption of sugar, three good meals per day are essential, and if sugar is
used, it should be natural sugar only. Where there is low blood sugar, a breakfast of complex carbohydrate is ideal to deliver the sugar slowly to the blood stream to avoid the ups and downs of a manic pattern. Herbs have much to offer in dealing with the over consumption of sugar, and when

accompanied by an appropriate diet and daily routine, changes can be seen in a very short time.

Eleven Points About Fat

New Zealand has one of the highest incidence of excessive fat in the world. This has many implications

for health :
1. Obesity leads to lowered self esteem.
2. High blood pressure results from excess fat consumption. This puts a strain on the heart and

kidneys, and can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

3. Fat increases cholesterol. Excessive fat correlates with high cholesterol levels and clogs the

arteries.
4. Obesity leads to muscular aches and pains. Excess fat in the arteries makes it more difficult for
the muscles to release lactic acid. As this lactic acid builds up, more aches and pains are felt,

such as fibrositis, frozen shoulder, neck pain, headaches, etc.

5. People who are over weight tend to wear out their joints sooner than they should due to the excess. There is swelling and stiffness, and joints may become inflamed, such as in arthritis, and

in some cases show degenerative processes such as joint fusion, and osteoarthritis. Hip

replacements may be needed.

6. Kidneys may become overburdened with the extra work they have to do. This may further worsen

the problem as the kidneys clog up causing fluid retention and high blood pressure.
7. Other organs may become stressed such as the liver, pancreas and gall bladder. Digestion of

proteins, fats and carbohydrates is further impaired. 8. The heart may become weakened and enlarged as the clogging continues. Obesity puts a strain on the heart, requiring as many as an estimated 200 miles of new capillaries per extra pound of body fat.
9. Eyes may suffer due to extra fatty deposits in the blood vessels feeding the eye. Extra blood pressure can cause bleeding of the retina. Blocked blood capillaries to the photosensitive cells of

the eye can reduce vision or cause blindness.

10. Constipation may occur due to the loss of muscle tone and the clogging of the bowel wall of

inadequately digested and wrongly combined food.

11. General fitness is impaired: You feel unable to share the same activities with many of your friends. Your body is overburdened with toxins and you are not feeling yourself. Break the cycle

now.

clean teeth gives radiance to the personality. The health of our teeth and gums not only reflects our overall health but can also profoundly influence it. 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

rest of one's life.

The Plaque and the Pellicle.

There are two types of material that form on the tooth surface the first is a healthy layer of mucus cells called the pellicle. This amorphous proteinlike membrane contains salivary proteins which have
"absorbed" into, and coat the enamel surface. Initially this pellicle is predominantly bacteria free and when present, it has the role of reducing demineralisation of tooth surfaces caused by acidic conditions.

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.

The Mercury Amalgam Issue.

Many articles have appeared recently and as far back as the early 1900s to hopefully leave you in no
doubt that mercury amalgam fillings are a hazard to our health. Mercury leakage occurs more readily in

an oral environment that is over acid.

So called "silver" amalgam fillings are actually alloys of silver, tin, zinc, copper and 50% mercury. If the

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

and thus the corresponding mercury leakage.

I have seen chronic fatigue, anaemia, and many of the symptoms attributed to mercury toxicity also dramatically improve, though it is difficult to prove whether this is due to mercury toxicity reduction or

improved oral hygiene. My "guess" is that it is both.

Dental Kit
Dental ABCs
Your dental kit contains three items. activator. These A dental powder, a Butler toothbrush, and an

three items work together to ensure that your bodys own natural defences against tooth decay and gum

disease are strengthened.

There are three natural lines of defence against decay within the oral environment. First, a mineral rich

alkaline saliva which helps to build enamel resistance against decay.

Secondly, a healthy protective lining or skin which adheres to your teeths enamel surface (termed the

pellicle) again protecting it from demineralisation.

Lastly, a mineral rich saliva also aids in replenishing enamel surfaces again building your natural

defences.

To aid this process, your herbal Dental Kit contains natural herbal formulations designed to Activate the natural balance (homeostasis) within your teeth, gums and saliva. The Building of new structures is achieved by supplying organic, chelated alkaliforming minerals which are delivered to their necessary

places through enzymes.

Finally, Cleansing of damaging plaque (which contains acid secreting bacteria) from the mouth helps to
ensure that negative bacterial colonies are reduced improving your oral health and cleansing your

breath.

Teeth Cleaning
Naturally, this is the most important step you need to take. Plaque causing bacteria can reorganise themselves to produce acidforming substances within twenty minutes if the correct environment is

present. To avoid this, your mouth must become an unsuitable environment for these pathogens.

To

ensure this, take the following steps:

1.

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

teeth. Remember to rinse when you are finished.

3. Continue steps one and two for ten days. again

(unless your gums have deteriorated again if this occurs, consult your practitioner). However,

Page 70 of 120

you should continue using the dental powder (replacing the Activator for a small amount of water

to make the paste) at least twice daily.

Avoid the use of dental floss since it has a tendency to cut into gums (which in turn cause them to

bleed). Instead, use dental tape.

Remember, visit your dentist on a regular basis (at least once every six months) for a full check up and assessment. This program is not a replacement for a dental appointment! You may, however, wish to select a dentist who has knowledge of mercury amalgam replacement as well as one who is familiar with

herbal and homeopathic remedies.

HOPE FOR INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED David , who is 6 years old, has a degenerative condition which was diagnosed at the age of two. He has
been treated by Michael J McCammon over the last two years and has gone from a child who was continually on antibiotics for ear and chest infections as well as continual diarrhoea, to a very healthy

child. Michael has been treating David's body not the condition as so many others have tried to do. Remedies Michael has treated David with over the past 2 years by NEW ZEALAND HERBALS : Thyrodine2000: Helped David's thyroid gland function normally reducing the number of infections. Serenity: Calmed a very hyperactive child giving him better concentration.
Children 2000: Helped his very limited speech to increase for awhile. After taking a few drops he

actually put two words together, which he had never previously done. Enzymes 2000: For the first time in David's life he is having 1 to 3 solid bowel motions a day instead of up to 10 loose motions. THE PATH TO RADIANT HEALTH

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

accommodate my expanded stomach.

Mid '96, I visited a medical practitioner and had a series of blood/urine tests. The results were "no problem", and I was instructed to come back in a few months time if my condition persisted for a thorough and unpleasant internal examination. By this time I was beginning to fear my condition may

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
in constant pain and constantly exhausted. During this time he lost his independence, his sense of

humour and vitality.

When his symptoms again worsened in October 1996 we decided to investigate alternative therapies.

We heard of Michael (McCammon N.D.) through friends, and I took Brett along with both of us feeling a

Page 75 of 120

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

treatment programme religiously.

Initially his symptoms worsened and he had a full week off school. After this time he showed slow but
steady improvement. After about 6 weeks on the programme he began diving, running and jumping. The

change was incredible.

He has continued to improve and his health is now better than I ever remember it to be. He has an

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

has been counselling me.

Thank you Michael, for putting my life back together. With permission Eileen Hyland.

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,

wheat and sugar for a time was essential.

Michael J. McCammon, N.D. Naturopath, Medical Herbalist, Iridologist. TESTIMONIAL # 22 SEVERE SCIATICA "Hi, last February I was diagnosed with what seemed to be the most acute case of sciatica Doctors or

Michael had seen.

My landlady had recently visited Michael for a problem she had been experiencing for awhile and was
diagnosed with a liver problem from Michael a problem noone else had picked up, she left with her herbs and then moved home to Edgecombe, then became very ill suddenly and was taken to hospital for a major problem around her liver, she has since told me, it was like a unwound cotton wool roll was laying around in her stomach, since surgery she has found out she is lucky to be alive, anyway she's

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

come a long way.

I was so sick I did not know whether I was coming or going I promise myself I will never be that ill again. Anyway, I had a little massage, and Mike put my back into place and gave me all this stuff to

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

on their product before it's too late.

Mike said if I sent him any more customers, he'll have to give me commission, nah, that's not what it's about. After being very ill for the first and last time in my life, I just want to put my friends in the right

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

thyroid problems too a sciatic connection perhaps.

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

medication can do..

I have spent the last several months feeling drained of enegy, and the last few months experiencing moderate to seve3re aches and pains in my muscles and joints. Over these months I found the week before my period to be the most difficult of all as it appeared to

exacerbate all the physical systems and cause emotional stress.

I have been literally dragging myself through each day as I am only in my early 30s this concerned me
greatly. I had put my lethargy down to a number of life changing circumstances in quick succession and

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

experienced none of the previously debilitating symptoms Yours faithfully

PSORIASIS TEST 996
Went to Mike Sept 1996 with rash in various parts of my body that Doctors could not clear up or control.

Everything they gave me, I reacted to; so my only option was alternative medicine.
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

problems have gone.

Mikes confidence, support and advice kept me going when I wanted to give up. He never once

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

understanding she convinced me to see Mike.

January 1984 _ I met Mike McCammon N.D. After a lengthy consultation with Mike, he took photographs of my eyes and for the next three months I visited him regularly and took several herbs 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

more balanced diet.

As far as the asthma is concerned it has completely subsided. I eat little cheese and drink hardly and milk now, whereas before, cheese was my main meal. I have more energy and am not afraid to exercise

whereas exercise was the main cause of asthma once.

Take it from one who has been there and has no intention of ever going back, being depressed,

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.

Page 80 of 120

You encouraged me to do to counselling which at first I thought would be a waste of time. But
over the past few months I cant believe how far Ive come so much hard work I have done so

determined to beat all this. It brought up so much and yes its all connected to my whole being. I got worse before I got better. Those spots that came and covered my body were horrific but

great news theyre gone.

My cycle (well what used to be continual bleeding and spotting) has changed dramatically.
I had a normal cycle for he first time in 3 years last month I have never had 3 weeks without a

sign of blood it was so wonderful. The month before was 2 weeks break. So Im so excited to see how this month goes.
I know now I will not be having that major surgery. All thanks to your herbs, encouragement,

support, emotional energy and love. Thank you ( name withheld original file on record test # 998 ASTHMA AND FATIGUE many thanks Freedom arrived this morning. (name) has lost 5 KGs thanks to our not mixing proteins

HEADACHES My mother had always had severe migraine headaches and had a spell in hospital as a result of side effects from socalled medication. (name) talked me into taking Mum into coming to see you. She did
exactly what you told her to do with regard to food and in the time periods that you said she came out of the migraine cloud and has been so well, healthy and active since that I still marvel at the transformation. Mum is 70 years now and is still busy and active, revelling in the fact that she can belong to organisations and commit herself to being an office holder and various other jobs and know that she can

do everything she said she would do without a moments illness.

Every time I look at Mum and see how energetic and well she is, I think of you so when I saw your name in Healthy Options I felt compelled to write to you to tell you what a difference you made to this family. I

will be forever grateful.

You also made a big difference to me as my health had always been poor to indifferent and you showed

me how to take control and improve my own health myself, an essential skill to survival today.

Yours Sincerely ( name withheld test 999)

CHRONIC FATIGUE THE LOT! I had experienced chronic fatigue , headaches, burning stomach and problems with my ears for several
years. the problems a were getting worse. I was finding it more and more difficult to eat because of

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.

Page 81 of 120

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.

POST FLU INFECTION
It all started off over 11 months ago when I got a flu virus and ended up with phlegm on my chest, which would wake me up at night time coughing. I would also cough myself nearly sick every morning with lumps of green phlegm coming up, and I was continually blowing my nose and kept getting a sore throat. I had been on asthma inhalants for the first time in my life and often on the Nebuliser when I got bad. But after going on the programme from Michael and taking BP., antiworm formula and

Freedom for 4 months, I am pleased to report that the phlegm has gone, I can actually feel the air going
into my nose (for the first time in years) my sinuses are nearly clear, I have less wax in my ears, my teeth ( false) always feel much cleaner, my hair is not coming our so much, my skin is a lot softer to

touch, and I generally feel better in myself, And now I have (under Michaels instructions) done a 9 day Detox and lost 1/2 stone and feel better again.

GUT PROBLEMS , ASTHMA AND THE PARASITE CONNECTION.

In 1987 I went to see Mike McCammon in an attempt to alleviate symptoms of a persistent productive cough with frequent lung infections that I had suffered for a number of years. In addition I had symptoms of bloating, wind and colictype pain especially after eating which were of more recent origin. My visits to my GP had been restricted to getting prescriptions for antibiotics when a chest infection made it

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

through that one but that is another storey.

In conclusion I would like to say that Mike McCammon was absolutely correct in diagnosing parasitic

worms in my gut by Iris analysis.

SUCCESSFUL FERTILITY TAKE

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

unfortunately no pregnancy resulted.

After consulting with yourself you recommended several New Zealand Herbals remedies

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

credit it was a success.

The nurses at National Womens hospital commented that they had noticed those Women who had sought Naturopathic help, particularly for those having stored frozen embryos replaced, had great

success rates. (this is not documented)

I have frozen embryos as a back up for next time but hope my body will be able to conceive naturally next time we try when we do I shall visit for some more Womens Tonic 2000 and advice. Thank you for helping us to achieve a dream

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME AND MORE
All my problems started when my system couldnt handle the contraceptive pill and I was strongly advised into having the coil. I fell pregnant on that and for 4 months felt very ill the whole time and turned very black and then I was admitted into hospital where I had a miscarriage (4th pregnancy) They found I had blood poisoning and the coil was imbedded through the babys neck. ( I was in my 30s) I had post

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

out was fine and the second one sent me into

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

out there that could help.

Last January 1997 walking up town to pay the bill I was having a real bad day carrying my usual spare
clothes and tablets which was normal for me as it was now my life my little grandson said why cant you play with us anymore. I walked into a health food shop crying and begged him for help. I had

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.

WOUND INJURY On Feb 13th,1997,Adrian was on a school camp. While on a bush walk, he slipped and the side of his
leg, below the knee was ripped open by a short sharp tree root. The wound was 6.5 cm long across the

side. The flap of the skin was stitched, taking 16 stitches.

Four days after his leg was stitched, he was admitted to hospital, stitches taken out and a gross infection

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

the depth of approx. 2.5 cm.

We were told that the wound needed to be skin grafted, but there was no guarantee of success as

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.

1. Garlic and Echinacea and Golden seal.

2. Antioxidant 3. Vitamin C and propolis

Doubling the dose.

After 4 days the wound had turned from green to a healthy bright red. We then met Michael McCammon He added Blood purifying tonic 2000 to Adrians herbs. Three days later Michael applied the first of Green Mountain ointment This was a poultice. For two weeks the wound was cleaned with Hypercal, Activator, for any little pussy spots followed by by the poultice. Which was changed every 24 hours. Due to the combination of herbs and the Green Mountain ointment the flesh had risen a little over 2cm. In this time also new pink skin was growing in from the sides of the wound. We decided to take Adrian back to the specialist at the hospital for a checkup to see the reaction.

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.

The healing was now complete.

After time in the sum, the scar will hardly be noticeable.
We will always be eternally grateful for the day we met Michael McCammon with his knowledge and

power of healing with herbs.

Truly a remarkable man!

Dorothy WarringFlood. SEVERE BURN
One week before my sons second birthday (1988) we had a visitor who accidentally knocked over about one litre of boiling water over my son. I was outside chopping wood at the time (it was in the middle of a

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

Page 85 of 120

for minor burns and to minimise damage reducing or stopping pain in severe cases

rushing to hospital. Yours Sincerely

SKIN CANCER & THE INDIAN POULTICE

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

healing process I was going through.

Many thanks to an ALTERNATIVE Practitioner who definitely puts the welfare of his clients ahead of

monetary gain After all , how much is ones life worth?? BLYTH. M.DEAN.

Relief from Epilepsy Testimony of Mike Pinkerton
I have been in and out of hospital most of my life from a form of epilepsy that the doctors had great difficulty bringing any level of stability to my life. A specialist told me with the drugs on the market at this time we have a 20% chance of bringing a degree of stability to the form of epilepsy you suffer from to improve the quality your health. I went to talk to Herbal New Zealand Naturopath Michael J McCammon

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.

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

SKULLCAP: (SCUTELLARIA LATERAFLORA) Skullcap has relaxing and gentle sedative effects on the central nervous system. It also has tonic restorative effects on the nerves, which may be due in part to its

potassium, calcium, and magnesium content. It also contains iron, zinc and vitamins C. and E.
SLIPPERY ELM: (Ulmus fulva) A highly nutritive tonic food for conditions of deficiency. Helps to rebuild the plasma element of the body and helps to restore the mucus membranes, particularly of the lungs and stomach. Its emollient action is very soothing for inflamed or ulcerated membranes and surfaces. High in Niacin, Riboflavin, and Thiamine, plus vitamins E, F, K, and containing the minerals Calcium, Iron, Sodium, Selenium, Iodine, copper, Zinc, Potassium and Phosphorus, it has as much nourishment as

oatmeal.

STYLLINGIA ROOT : (STILLINGIA LIGUSTINA) An effective glandular stimulant as well as an activator for the liver. Said to be valuable to rid the system of toxic drugs when using chemotherapy treatment for

cancer. It is one of the most powerful herb alteratives (blood purifiers) known.

Page 96 of 120

SQUAW VINE: (MITCHELLA REPENS) Squaw vine is especially useful in childbirth, strengthening the uterus for safe and effective childbirth. Known as a uterine tonic by herbalists, it relieves congestion of
the uterus and ovaries. Helps restore menstrual function, and contains antiseptic properties, ideal for

any kind of vaginal infection. It is also a natural gentle sedative and best used with the other herbs in the

combination.
VERVAIN: (VERBENA OFFICIANALIS) Vervain is well known as a nerve tonic by herbalists, and has been used for hundreds of years. It is indicated in a wide range of nervous disorders including

depression, nervous exhaustion, and stress. It is also a liver tonic, useful where there is a relationship

between depression and the liver.

VALERIAN: ( VALERIANA OFFICINALIS) Valerian is a strong nervine and is very helpful for insomnia.

It contains an essential oil and alkaloids which combine to produce calming and sedative effects. It can be used as a tranquilizer but leaves one feeling refreshed rather than sluggish. It is known as a safe non
narcotic herbal sedative and has been used traditionally in anxiety states. The herb is best used with

other nervines such as the ones in this formula and also has a pain relieving and antispasm property. It is rich in magnesium, potassium, copper and zinc.
WHITE WILLOW: (SALIX) The original source of salicin, the forerunner of aspirin, white willow bark is a natural pain killer. It is an excellent nerve sedative and, in combination with the other herbs is mild on the stomach. Historically it has been used for pain of many different sorts, including rheumatism, headache, fever, arthritis, gout and angina. Willow bark is converted through oxidation to salicylic acid within the

body. It has many cofactors that may enhance its analgesic, (pain killing) antipyretic (antifever) disinfectant and antiseptic properties.
WILD YAM: (DISCOREA VILLOSA) Used for hundreds of years by the Trobriand Islanders from Papua New Guinea, the Wild Yam is the source material for hormonal birth control pills. It contains glycosides such as Diosgenin from which the body can manufacture the hormones progesterone and cortisone. Wild yam has been shown to improve energy levels, digestion, eliminate aches and pains normally associated with aging or rheumatic conditions, balance emotions, and to restore libido (capacity for

sexual pleasure).
WITHANIA: ( WITHANIA regenerative tonic, particularly there is weakness and tissue nervous exhaustion or sexual SOMNIFERA) Withania is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a for the muscles, marrow and semen. It is used in all conditions where deficiency and in those suffering from overwork, stress, lack of sleep, dysfunction, low libido, impotence etc. Its Sanskrit name "Ashwaganda"

translates as meaning "giving the power and vigour of a horse". It can be used for young and old alike.
WORMWOOD: (ARTEMISIA ABSINTHIUM) Wormwood as its name suggests has long been renowned for its ability to rid the body of intestinal worms. It is also useful for all complaints of the digestive system

such as constipation and indigestion.

YELLOW DOCK: (RUMEX CRISPUS) Renowned as one of the best Blood builders in the herb

kingdom the herb is a nutritive tonic very high in Iron. It nourishes the spleen and liver and is therefore effective in treating Iron deficiency anaemia, jaundice, lymphatic problems and skin eruptions.
YUCCA ROOT: ( YUCCA GLAUCA) Yucca was used traditionally by the American Indians of the south west for skin disorders, eruptions, inflammations, slow healing ulcerations, and used as a poultice on

breaks and strains and for rheumatism. Yucca has a high content of steroid like saponins, which are the
precursors to cortisone. Its precise antiinflammatory action is unknown but may be due to supplying the

adrenal glands with the material to produce its own cortisone.

ZINC: Zinc is necessary for the proper function of the thyroid gland. Helps the body to break down alcohol, aids Vitamin B1 and carbohydrate assimilation, heals wounds and burns, maintains healthy tissues, normal prostate function, phosphorus and protein metabolism, reproductive organ growth and

development. Helps promote growth and mental alertness, restores sense of taste, helps treat infertility,

eliminates white spots on the fingernails and may help regulate menstrual periods. Page 97 of 120

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

direction to appropriate methods of treatment.

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

brightening of the eye.

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 1. the stomach

Zone 2. the small intestine Page 99 of 120

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

Determine genetic strengths and weaknesses.

Levels of inflammation. Certain structural dysfunction. Certain functional dysfunction.

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.

What Iridology cannot do

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.

It cannot show operations the areas are no longer recording.

It cannot predict the future only likelihoods which you may change.

It cannot determine some cancers.

It has nothing to do with astrology, palm reading or the occult. for both practitioner and patient. For the doctor it

Iridology, along with a proper case history and physical examination and sometimes backed up by

laboratory analysis, is an invaluable tool gives an

Page 100 of 120

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

expenses of operations and operating the system itself!)

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
not exist, one is afforded the opportunity to prevent illness or improve quality of life through a more

healthy life.
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

average of the inherent weaknesses.

Good Constitution

Observe the tight weave of fibre denoting a strong vital genetic heritage. This
person is able to withstand stress and

Poor Constitution The less dense weave of fibres. This individual has a poor genetic heritage and more effort is required to maintain

health.

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

Page 102 of 120

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

overload to your system. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM IS THE GREATEST IN IMPORTANCE

Iridology shows how important the digestive system is to your entire body. Improper diet, stress or faulty nutrition can undermine digestion and these adverse conditions prevent the proper flow of digestive juices. The bowel is the second most important system which is responsible for elimination. The blackest, most under active function and the most chronic and toxic areas are always located in the bowel region. The bowel is most adversely affected when vital energy is low. Observe in the Iris map that

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

the herbal formulation Ginkgo Mem.

Page 103 of 120

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

suspect organ pathology or malfunction. BRONCHIAL TUBES

The discussion of the lungs is applicable to the bronchial tubes as well. However the bronchial tubes are

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.

Page 104 of 120

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)

Page 105 of 120

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

appropriate healing touch techniques.

HEART The heart area shows up primarily in the left Iris at 3.00 oclock and often appears a diamond shape if
inherently weak. If it is marked, toxic conditions are evident. These toxins may interfere with reparability of the heart muscle. The heart is a potassium organ. The correct potassium balance is essential for

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,

it is involved in times of fevers and toxic accumulations in the body.

Page 106 of 120

SECONDARY STRUCTURES TO CONSIDER

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

reflects its state of health or disease.

PROSTATE AND UTERUS Toxic material may also settle in these areas ( prostate in males and uterus in females) Iridology deals
with raising tissue integrity. The Iridologist is interested in repair and rebuilding in addition to pressure symptoms from upper organs as they cause improper blood circulation. The blood must be healthy, but it must also circulate vigorously in all organs for repair of organ efficiency. Both the prostate and uterus are located near the lower bowel and its health both functionally and anatomically ( where positioned in

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

harmony are felt in the stomach and influence digestion.

DUODENUM
Ulcerous conditions may develop in the duodenum. If acute is marked the active, painful stage is evident. Subacute or chronic indicates a condition of long standing, of hypo activity existing for possibly

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.

CHOLESTEROL RING (Formerly called sodium ring)

A white ring circling the iris near the periphery ( outermost region) of the iris which contributes to hardening of the arteries. Often this deposit settles in the heart area, the aorta, causing considerable

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.

Page 108 of 120

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

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

expenses of operations and operating the system itself!)

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,

disease becomes rampant among them.

3. EAT ONLY POISON FREE FOODS
Your food should be grown without the aid of chemical fertilisers and should contain no residues of toxic insecticides, chemical additives, preservatives or emulsifiers. Remember to read the labels before you

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

and beet juice contain minerals and living enzymes.

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

has been used for healing since early history.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE FOODS, HERBS AND SPICES Garlic, onions, green leafy

vegetables, Echinacea, Cayenne, ginger, Sarsaparilla, Burdock, Dandelion, Liquorice root

etc these are outlined in greater detail in the Recommended Herbs in this report. In

particular it is important to understand that no diet in this age can give all the minerals and cofactors needed for total health unless Blood Purification and Minerals in abundance are

supplemented.

Page 113 of 120

 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

sufficient amounts of complete high quality proteins.

Our past beliefs in regard to high requirements of protein are outdated and incorrect, the actual daily need for protein in human nutrition is far below that which has long been considered necessary. Our

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

leafy green vegetables contain complete protein.

World wide scientific research is now bringing to light the fact, (Which Naturopaths have known for many

years), that proteins, essential and important as they are, can be extremely harmful when consumed in

excess of your actual needs.

A high protein diet also causes premature aging and lowers life expectancy. Overindulgence in meat leads to a mineral imbalance in the system too much phosphorus and too little calcium ( meat has twenty times more phosphorus than calcium) which leads to severe calcium deficiency and resultant loss of teeth to gingivitis. Also, a high protein diet causes severe deficiencies of B6, magnesium, calcium and

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

New Zealand Herbals range.

7. CLEANSE YOUR SYSTEM PERIODICALLY WITH JUIC FASTING Historically and traditionally our genetic code is programmed for a periodic abstinence from food, which was necessitated by the periodic unavailability of food, particularly during famines and during winter and early spring, when the storage supply of food was exhausted and the new crops were still unripe. Our

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.

8. CULTIVATE THE FOLLOWING HEALTH PROMOTING EATING HABITS;

EAT ONLY WHEN HUNGRY

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

unwanted material and create indigestion, gas and other disturbances.

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

tomatoe is a fruit and a vegetable and can be eaten with either.

WHEN PROTEIN RICH FOODS ARE EATEN WITH OTHER FOODS EAT THE PROTEIN RICH FOODS FIRST. Proteins require generous amounts of hydrochloric acid in your stomach in order to be properly digested. If you first fill you stomach with predominantly carbohydrate foods and then finish your meal with a protein food, the protein will remain largely undigested because of an insufficient amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. There fore it is best to eat protein foods first on an empty stomach, when the hydrochloric acid secretion will be generous. Those with enzyme or hydrochloric deficiency may need

extra enzyme and other digestive aids, till the bodys natural supplies are optimum
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:

Coffee, tea, chocolate, cola drinks and soft drinks.

Excessive use of salt.

Excessive consumption of alcohol. Harmful spices, mustard, black or white pepper, white vinegar. Refined white sugar and white flour and everything made with them: white bread, pastry, packaged cereals, pies, doughnuts, ice cream, sweets, biscuits, chewing gum etc. All processed, refine, canned or factory foods.

Page 115 of 120

 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

function of all your organs and glands

2. It will increase and improve your tissue oxygenation. The ultimate cause of all disease and

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

2 fruits daily

ditto

1 good protein such as fish, free range chicken avocado, soaked nuts and seeds, lean beef or lamb. 1 or more complex carbohydrates such as potatoes, kumaras, yams, parsnips, pumpkins, rice, 1 2 litres of purified water daily

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,

climate and social behaviour.

Page 116 of 120

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

and require an agrarian diet to stay lean and productive.

Type As flourish on a vegetarian diet and its important that foods are eaten in as natural a state as possible. To receive the greatest benefits, type As should eliminate all meats from their diet. Begin by substituting fish for meat several times a week, and stay away from processed meat products, which

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

limited amount of cereals are also beneficial.

Vegetables are vital to type As, providing some minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. They should eat
lots of broccoli, carrots, kale, pumpkin, garlic, onions, alfalfa sprouts, okra,, parsley and spinach avoid capsicums, eggplant, cabbage, potatoes, olives, mushrooms and tomatoes. Of the fruits avoid but

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

system open to illness or disease.

Type As did poorly on high protein diets that includes big portions of meat, but did well on vegetable proteins, such as tofu. When told to increase their levels of exercise, they usually felt fatigued and unwell. However when they performed lighter forms of exercise, such as yoga, they felt alert and energised. On the other hand, Type O patients thrived on high protein diets, and felt invigorated by

intense physical activities.

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 2000, Mineral Max2000 and appropriate anticatarrhal herbal blends.

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.

Page 117 of 120

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.

Type Os have a tendency for hypothyroidism

low thyroid levels and require extra supplementation of

iodine, B6 and zinc. Often times the low thyroid will not show up in medical testing unless very chronic
however lower levels of thyroid hormone will manifest as fatigue, cold hands and feet and low immunity

and Iron levels. New Zealand Herbals have a formula Thyrogene which assists the health of the thyroid

gland on these occasions.

I have found that my vegetarian patients who have blood group Os are amongst the sickest I have seen
and commonly complain about chronic fatigue and low immunity. This may explain why some people who frequent the health foods shops appear anaemic and tired (especially if they are O groups and

vegan or vegetarian).
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,

kale and spinach.

Type Os release built up hormonal forces through vigorous physical exercise. They respond well to

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

inflammatory and auto immune disorders.

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

loss purposes, its best for type ABs to avoid it.

Theyll benefit from some seafood 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. Most fruits and vegetables are beneficial.

However type ABs should limit and ultimately eliminate artichoke, avocado, corn, mushrooms, olives,

capsicums, radishes, bananas, coconuts, mangoes, guava, oranges and rhubarb.

Foods that encourage weight gain include red meat, kidney beans, lima beans, seeds, corn, buckwheat,
wheat, while products that help type ABs loose weight include tofu, seafood, dairy foods, green

vegetables, kelp and pineapple.

Type ABs react badly to stress their systems slows down and they become weaker, while their

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. Naturally the Blood Purifying Tonic

and the Minerals Max are essential for blood type.

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

activities to stay lean and sharp, and are dairy eaters.

On the whole, the sturdy and alert type Bs are usually able to resist many of the most severe diseases common to modern life, such as heart disease and cancer. Yet their systems seem more prone to exotic immune system disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome. For type Bs the biggest factors in weight gain are corn, buckwheat, wheat, lentils, peanuts and sesame
seeds, which affect the efficiency of their metabolic process, resulting in fatigue, fluid retention and hypoglycaemia. On its own, wheat doesnt attack type Bs as severely as it does type Os, but in combination with the above foods it is just as damaging and should be avoided. And if type Bs are trying

to loose weight it definitely should be avoided.

Red meat can be beneficial but type Bs should stick to lamb, mutton, rabbit and venison,, and steer

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,

artichoke, olives, tempeh, tofu, coconuts, rhubarb and pomegranates.

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

sport is fiercely competitive.

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.
