Energy Maintaining
Green Smoothie

Blend it all up in a blender and drink it down.  The avocado and tahini will provide enough healthy vegetable fat to keep you satisfied all morning long.  Enjoy!
Reishi Mushroom, (Ganoderma lucidum), a specific type of tonic remedy, taken daily for the immune system.
Therapeutic Mushrooms and Their Effect on Cancer:

There have been many Asian research studies to evaluate and prove the anti tumor effects of Maitake, Reishi and Shiitake mushrooms.  It's one of the reasons why I combined all three of them together with cordyceps and adaptogenic herbs into the Immune Valor Formula and made it a daily tonic.  This is the tonic you would take not only for energy, but to normalize and strengthen every system in your body.  If cancer runs in your family, this is the protective formula I would recommend. See the Antitumor research.

The number one thing you can do to protect yourself against cancer is to do your liver cleansing every 3 to 6 months.  When the liver's toxic, it cannot do its detoxifying job and toxins run amok throughout the body.  Dr. Christopher used to say that cancer cannot exist in a clean bloodstream. You can take blood cleansing herbs such as the Blood Detox Formula, or the Echinacea Premium Formula (which are highly recommended to take during liver and kidney cleansing) which is crucially important, but just know that a toxic colon and liver will continue to leak out into the bloodstream after you just cleansed it, so the bloodstream cannot stay clean unless the colon and liver are also detoxified and clean.

How do you know if your supplements actually  contain herbs?

 Another study just came out saying that 2/3 of supplements tested did not conta in the herbs they were supposed to c ontain. Is it  a n y wonder? 

Here's how it happens.  Herbs are bitter.  People don't necessarily enjoy the bi tter t aste.  Because of this, almost no  one in the industry produces liquid extracts.  I kno w because I've tried year after year to find back up manufacturers for our liquid extracts.  Time and again, I'm told that hardly anyone makes the liquid extract s.  

Of the extract samples that I try, none of them approaches the 1:1 strength of what Dr. Foster's Essentials produces.  1:1 means that 1 part herb is used to 1 part extracting alcohol.  Of the liquid extracts, most are manufactured according to National Formulary Standards which is 1 part herb to 4 parts alcohol.  This is 4 times weaker.  I can't have that!

Of course, I can find the liquid extracts from manufacturers in China, but I won't do it due to contamination concerns.  

Most herbs on the market are dried, powdered and encapsulated.  This is so that no one tastes the bitter "herb" taste.  Unfortunately for you, some manufacturers figure that since their formula is in a capsule and no one will be tasting it, they can probably get by with putting cheaper ingredients in there.

Taste your herbs!  Get familiar with their taste. 

Which Supplements are the Right Ones?
Echinacea Flower
Echinacea Flower: 
chewing on the root causes an intense tingling sensation on the tongue






Herbal "Signatures"

Each herb has a distinctive taste or property that di stinguishes it from other herbs.  For example, Lobelia Tincture should make the back of your throat feel scratchy for about 10 to 15 minutes. 

Echinacea should make your tongue tingle stron gly for around 10 to 15 minu tes and  kava  should cause a numbing sen sation on your tongue.  These are "herbal signatures."  If these th ings are not present, your herb is not potent and you're not going to experience much of an eff ect.

Most of my formulas are liquid extracts because of the incredible potency we can achieve with an alcohol extract.  

Of the Dr. Foster's Essentials capsules, most are encapsulated with intestinal herbs which actually work better in capsules than in a liquid.  I invite you to open any and all of your Dr. Foster's Essentials capsules and taste the contents. 

The intestinal stimulating formulas are going to taste bitter. That bitter taste activates the liver and digestive juices and helps you with digestion.  The Colon Detox Caps are going to taste like a combination of slippery elm, clay and charcoal.  Great! That's what they're supposed to taste like.  

April 4, 2015 

Happy Easter to all! Spring is finally here, and with it, a chance to throw off all those toxins accumulated during the winter months and do some spring cleaning!

In this newsletter, we're going to discuss the big "C" word - cancer.  Angelina Jolie has been in the news lately, bringing this issue to the forefront, and I want everyone to know exactly how and why cancer happens and what to do to heal from it, or better yet, avoid it altogether.  

I can almost guarantee for many of you, what I'm going to discuss in this newsletter are concepts and theories that you've never heard of before.  Sometimes people are upset by this information because they realize that they and their loved ones had an alternative to what the doctors have been giving them for years.  They say things like, "If only I had known, I would have done things differently," or "If I would have known, perhaps my relative that died would still be alive and well."  

If this happens to you while you're reading, just relax and breathe and know that this information is coming to you at the right time and that the past happened exactly the way God meant it to happen, and don't blame yourself or your parents for things you didn't know.  These natural healing concepts have been lost over time as the Modern Medical Monopoly has took over right around the 1940's with their chemical remedies.  It's high time we bring all of this ancient healing wisdom back to heal ourselves and our loved ones naturally and without dependence on the medical profession.

Take some time to read through it completely, and feel free to email us afterwards and ask us questions if there are things you don't understand.

Angelina Jolie 
and Her Cancer S care:

At just 39 years old, she's had not only both
breasts removed (at age  37), but both the ovaries and fallopian  tu b es t o prevent cancer. This most recent surgery forces her into early m enopause for which Hormonal Replacement Therapy has been prescribed.

We can understand her fear based on the fact that her mother Marcheline died in 2007 at age 56 from ovarian cancer, her aunt and grandmother died from breast cancer, an d Angelina herself was tested and found to have the gene called BRAC1, called PALB2. The average woman has a  1% chance of getting ovarian cancer, but with this gene, the risk increases to as high as 40%.

Ovarian cancer is not a common type of cancer: 239,00 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer worldwide in 2012. 

Besides the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, other risk factors include advancing age, obesity, endometriosis, and smoking.  Factors that protect against the development of ovarian cancer include having children, breastfeeding, and taking OCP's.

There is no reliable screening test for ovarian cancer.  Symptoms are often vague and include bloating, feeling full, abdominal pain, and increased urination.

But what prompted the surgery?  A tumor marker test called CA-125, an early indicator of ovarian cancer, was elevated.  Her aunt and grandmother had also died from this cancer.  Fortunately, further tests came back negative.  She was in the clear, but she did not feel that way.  

Her other "conventional" options offered by the chemical and surgery-based Medical Profession included taking birth control pills, breast self-exams and frequent doctor visits. Yet these options were not enough to ease Angelina's mind.  

Why wasn't it enough?

We live in a culture where cancer is considered to be a random event that strikes unsuspecting victims out of the blue.  And if it's not random, it's caused by a genetic factor that we cannot control at all! That leaves the future VERY uncertain for someone that has a genetic mutation or for anyone diagnosed with cancer.  And for this terrifying disease, the only options for treatment include radiation, chemotherapy and surgery - a world where if you catch it early, you can perhaps increase your survival or avoid the whole chemo and radiation scenario.  

Anyone who's had a loved one go through the chemo and radiation nightmare knows that it's no picnic, and that the suffering of cancer treatment is sometimes greater than the suffering caused by the cancer itself. Long, protracted, drawn out nausea, vomiting, pain, profound weakness, severe anemia that turns people a very pale shade of white, and dramatic hair loss that makes its victims look like holocaust survivors.  

Angelina wanted no part of it.  She wanted to be done with all of it, and the medical profession offered her the removal of the organs that would most likely become cancerous in the future.   (Are you not curious at this point what a person's options would be if they suffered from a genetic mutation that involved cancer of a crucial organ that could not be removed?)

Angelina is quoted as saying, "It is not possible to remove all risk, and the fact is, I remain prone to cancer."

And in her words lies the key to cancer:

It's not the organs themselves that are at fault.  It's a cancer-growing metabolism.  It's the ENTIRE BODY that creates cancer.

So, for the rest of this newsletter, and in future issues as well, we're going to discuss how you can avoid  creating a cancer-growing metabolism.  This is something you have full control over.

Read on because you're about to read many unheard of secrets of natural healing and your life may not ever be the same after you've read them.

 

Healing Cancer Naturally - Is It Possible?
Juice Fasting as a Cure for Cancer:

Many people have never heard of juicing for cancer.  Why haven't you heard of it?  After all,  Dr. Bernard Jensen, the famous chiropractor, nutritionist, and herbalist, healed people of cancer and other incurable diseases for over 50 years on his healing ranch in Escondido, California.  What he did was to have them do a juice fast on carrot juice for 30 days while they did a major colon cleansing program with high enemas and supplements to cleanse the colon.   People came to his mountain ranch from all over the country to be healed of everything from psoriasis, cirrhosis, ulcers to cancer.  More info on juice fasting.

Dr. Jensen is considered to be the Father of American Iridology (pronounced Eye-ri-dah'-lah-gee), an ancient diagnostic science.  He wrote many books on the topic, many of which are now considered the Gold Standard of texts in Iridology. As his predecessors had done, he also related the irises of the eyes to each organ of the body.

He related the study of embryology (the development of an embryo in the womb) to the iris, the colored part of the eye.  According to modern embryology, the colon, also called the primitive gut, is the first area of the embryo to develop in the womb. From this primitive gut tissue develops every other organ in the body.  Because of this, every organ in the body is related back to the gut.  So, from the gut tissue, the nervous system and every other body system develops.

According to embryology, the eye is actually an outgrowth of the brain and is thus considered to be part of the nervous system (This is confirmed through Modern Science).  The nerve energy of each organ is reflected in the iris (remember that the eye originated from brain tissue).  Thus, we can tell the state of a person's health, the nerve flow to each organ by analyzing the irises.

 In his books, he describes the specific areas of the colon associated with each type of cancer and each type of disease and linked them back to the iris fibers.  For example, breast cancer he had isolated to a problem with the descending colon which is an area around the 3 o'clock region of the left eye.   He also taught that problems with the head and neck were  related to problems in the
Connection Between Parts of the Colon and The Corresponding Organs
That They Affect
transverse colon.  He tested this theory over 50 years with hundreds and possibly thousands of patients, as he had them do serious colon cleansing and noticing the areas that were related to their health problems.

He noticed that doing an herbal cleanse with charcoal, clay, psyllium and other herbs, when combined with a juice fast and high enemas, would result in the passage of what he termed the mucoid plaque layer of the intestines.  When this long rubbery accumulation in the colon was passed, the health problems improved or cleared up.

If you think the colon -  cancer connection is coincidental (try saying that 10 times fast), there was actually a surgeon who cut out sections of people's colons and noticed that their diseases went away. He, too,  was able to connect the dots between the colon and various diseases.

Juicing + colon cleansing is a better technique than surgery - trust my medical opinion on this one. No bleeding, long-term diarrhea or constipation, wound infections, peritonitis, stitches coming undone, scar tissue forming that blocks intestinal movement months to years after surgery, etc.

Bernard Jensen himself worked tirelessly for the benefit of the sick. He wrote over 50 books on the natural healing of diseases.  When I went for a seminar there, his family members mentioned how he would often stay up until 3 am working on his books, videos and other projects to help his sick patients.  

But his overworking and lack of sleep took its toll on his body.  As he saw the signs of cancer develop in his irises (he was the country's foremost expert in iridology - the science of diagnosing through analyzing the irises of the eye), he refused to stop working.  The fibers in his irises became whiter, a sign of building acidity in the body.  Tissue acidity is at the perfect environment in which diseases can begin.  So, he entered into the First Stage of Disease.
The Four Stages of Disease:
 
The Four Stages of Disease 
according to the Father of Iridology, Bernard Jensen, DC









This tissue acidity manifests as pain, fev er,  discharges, and other acute symptoms and is the First Stage of Disease,  called the Acute Stage. 

As time went on, Dr. Jensen's iris fibers actually began to darken and become grayer, as the disease went into the Second stage - the Subacute Stage, where symptoms are not as noticeable, but where the disease is lurking just underneath the surface.  He explained that when we take pharmaceutical medications to suppress acute symptoms such as fever and runny nose, it can actually drive the disease deeper into the tissues.    

The Third Stage is called the Chronic stage, which he said is the stage in which 80% of all diseases in the US are found.  This stage is characterized by a heavy buildup of toxins, low metabolic activity and a lack of vitality.  The Fourth and Final Stage is called the Degenerative Stage.  At this stage we see cancer and other degenerative diseases.  

It takes many years to reach this Fourth Stage, and over the years, the disease is supported by junk food diets, lack of exercise, processed foods, toxic emotions, overwork, stress, pharmaceuticals that suppress elimination, and chronic constipation. 

Eventually he developed prostate cancer.  When he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer (the most advanced stage, and it had already spread to his hip bone), he was over 80 years old.  His doctors told him not to expect much as the they thought he had lived a long enough life. (Imagine being dismissed by doctors based solely on your age - as if an older person doesn't have the right to expect to be healthy!)  

Well, Dr. Jensen proved them all wrong.  He fasted on carrot juice for 60 days, and at the end of that time, he was cancer-free.  I'll say that again because it bears repeating.

At the end of 60 Days of Juice Fasting and Colon Cleansing, he Tested Completely Free of Cancer, Even Though It Was Stage Four Cancer.

By the way, Bernard Jensen also described the entire process of reversing the Fourth Stage of Disease called Hering's Law of the Cure.  So, through healing the colon and supporting the entire body nutritionally and herbally, periods of fasting, breaking up blockages in the body through hydrotherapy, skin brushing, and massage, and change to a more nutrient-dense diet, the whole disease process can actually be reversed!  There is hope!


Herring's Law of the Cure: healing occurs from the inside out, from the head down, and in the reverse order as the symptoms first appeared.  


This means that the internal organs heal first, and the skin heals last.  It also means the most recent health issues heal first and the oldest ones last.   If you are doing it right, you'll reach what is called a "healing crisis." This is the point at which the body becomes strong enough to throw off a significant amount of toxins all at once. 

The first healing crisis usually occurs around the 2 month mark of doing major cleansing, fasting, high enemas, massage, skin brushing, exercising and healing.  During this crisis, the symptoms are the same as they are in the first stage of disease - hardened, solid toxic accumulations in the body liquefy and come out through discharges, runny nose, etc. There may also be a slight fever, although this is not as common.  It typically lasts around 3 days, and then the person feels better and has achieved a higher state of health. Perhaps he goes from the Fourth Stage of Disease back to the Third Stage.  

If he continues on with his healing, another healing crisis will occur, usually also lasting around 3 days, and he will again end up with a higher state of health.  Eventually, he will get to the Second Stage of Disease, going back through time, reversing the illnesses he has had along the way.  

From time to time these "healing crises" will occur until a person has finally reached the root of it all - the First Stage of Disease, and if all of the symptoms at this stage are healed, a person can be said to have reached excellent health. At that point, that person simply needs to maintain his or her natural healing routines in order to maintain that excellent health. In other words, you can finally relax and not have to try so hard anymore!

In fact, Dr. Bernard Jensen helped so many people go backwards through this healing process, he wrote a book about it called the Doctor-Patient Handbook.

Dr. Bernard Jensen's work was based on the work of other physicians: Harvey Kellogg, MD, Henry Lindlar, MD, John Henry Tilden, MD and other great natural healers who utilized these natural healing methods to heal every imaginable disease.  Yes, they also saw people on the verge of dying from kidney failure, liver failure, and many other serious problems.  

Dr. Christopher, a famous herbalist in Utah, known for healing the most stubborn incurable diseases, also now deceased, considered by many to be the father of Modern American Herbalism, used a One Month Total Body Cleanse, and the "Mucusless Diet," off of which I based my 28-Day Program to be the absolute strongest healing program out there as I knew that in the 21st century we would have skyrocketing cases of cancer and other serious diseases.   I have seen all kinds of cancers fall off, come out, dissolve internally and go into remission using this program.  

Dr. Christopher's  programs were based off of traditional Native American Indian techniques that he learned at the Dominion Herbal College in Canada, and water therapies that go back to the days of Vincent Preissnitz, a farmer who set up a water-cure institute in Austria in the early 1800's, and who healed people of all kinds of diseases with cold water therapies applied externally.  He is often referred to as the father of modern hydrotherapy.  Add on top of this list of natural healers, Sebastian Kneipp, a German priest, who also healed, among the throngs of people who visited him every day, kings and queens, of every imaginable disease - most of whom had already failed the conventional treatments of the day.  

I have most of Kneipp's original writings from the late 1800's and early 1900's, so I know exactly what types of diseases he healed and how he did it. The beauty of Kneipp is that he did not have much money and the miraculous healings he performed were done with simple garden hoses, watering cans, bathtubs, buckets, shirts, socks, linens and blankets.

That's Me!  ~1997 
Studying at the Kneipp Institute
in Bad Woerishofen, Germany
These natural healers have already healed every disease imaginable, including cancer. And there are many other natural healers that I haven't even mentioned, including Ayurvedic medicine, yogic cures, Chinese medicine and acupuncture.  These cancer and incurable disease cures have not been developed by just one man.  They have existed for hundreds of years and they have been very effective.  I am very fortunate to have been able to study Kneipp therapy in Germany where it originated and to have studied with Dr. Bernard Jensen and other amazing natural healers who have taught me exactly how to heal these diseases.

Please do not allow yourself to be intimidated by doctors who tell you that you're incurable.  It's not true.  They're simply reflecting back to you the concepts they've learned.  Their training is very limited and only includes chemical "experimental" remedies (they have only existed since the late 1930's when aspirin was first developed) and surgery.  

Every Doctor's Drug Reference Manual.  
This edition has 3,250 pages
The shocking secret that many people do not know is Modern American Medicine is based on cancer-causing petroleum by-products.  The use of petroleum in pharmaceuticals was initiated by the multibillionaire Rockefeller family as a way to sell their petroleum products.  Most every prescription medicine you take has a petroleum base.  If you look through the Physician's Desk Reference that describes all of the ingredients in each medication, you will also see that most medications contain artificial colors and flavors, all of which have a carcinogenic coal-tar base.  Dr. Bernard Jensen theorized that these prescription medications were the number one reason why the people he saw had developed cancer. 

Conventional medical doctors know ABSOLUTELY nothing about juicing or herbs.  They have ZERO training in these methods. Probably most of them do not know the medications they prescribe every day have a petroleum base.  It's pretty unbelievable!  But, like Bernard Jensen's doctors who admitted "We don't know anything about nutrition," your doctor likely does not know, either.

I have been in the healing profession for over 15 years now and I've seen lots of people pronounced "cured" by their medical doctors, who, months to years later, simply relapsed or came down with something worse because they had never gone through the steps backward to regain their health.  I've seen cancer survivors pronounced "cured" after they went through surgery, chemo and radiation only to come down with cancer years later, and sometimes it's worse - a rapidly progressive leukemia caused by the chemo and radiation - a known side effect.  

I've seen patients who told me their doctor said their hepatitis was pronounced "cured" by their doctors, but they were suffering from liver-related ailments - severe inflammation, muscle pain, muscle weakness, high cholesterol and hormonal imbalances.  Their liver was not "cured".  They bought a little time by killing some viruses.  
Don't EVER take your chemical-based doctor's word for it when he/she says you're cured.  You're still in the same Stage of Disease as you started - probably Stage Three or Four.  

Sometimes these patients come back to me years later and admit I was right the first time and that they just didn't want to go through the effort and that's why they didn't do their cleanses. Only this time, they're missing some organs that were removed and they've been through absolute hell and agony with the medical treatments they've been through.  Years later, they're finally willing to try one more time to regain their health the natural way.

I have to say these things because I care.  It's hard on me, too, when people relapse because they really wanted to think that taking one herbal formula was going to solve all their problems.  

I don't care how many medications you take - you're not reversing anything with chemical-based treatments.  According to their own research, these medications can cause plenty of cases of kidney and liver damage.  

You may manage to push your symptoms underneath the surface so you don't feel as badly.  You can have some organs removed, yet not cure your "cancer-growing" metabolism.  You may be able to suppress the sensation of pain by taking painkillers - the whole time allowing more and more toxins to accumulate, while you're thinking everything's fine.  You're simply killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, some tumor cells and buying yourself a little more time. Eventually something else will happen, but probably worse since the toxin accumulation continues while you have a false sense of security and think that you're ok.

This is why I'm so emphatic about people who've been diagnosed with cancer do at least a 28-Day Program, take the Blood Detox Formula for at least one year, and get on a health-promoting diet and healing program.  It's also why I'm so adamant that people do their maintenance liver or kidney cleanses every 3 months.  

Two Basic Constitution Types: Strong and Poor.  Which One Are You?
What About Genetic Mutations/ Inherited Disorders?

Let's revisit the discussion about Angelina Jolie for a moment to see what a natural healer would say about her situation.  Dr. Jensen would take a special iris camera that magnifies her irises and would analyze each area.  

The first thing to analyze would be constitutional type.  There are basically 2 types of "constitutions" or strength of a person's body - genetically speaking. A person who enjoys good health regardless of his or her health habits typically has a strong constitution.  They can pretty much smoke and drink and live a hard and fast life and barely notice any health problems.  If they don't take care of themselves, they will eventually get sick near the end of their lives, but in a very dramatic way, as "all hell breaks loose" and death comes very quickly.   Their iris fibers are tightly woven and close together.  

On the other hand, a person with a poor constitution tends to get sick at the slightest provocation. They have poor health throughout their lives if they don't take care of themselves.  Their iris fibers are loosely woven and look more like a "flower pattern" as shown on the right side of the image above.

Of course, there are variations in-between these two types, and there can be specific areas that are more loosely woven or darker than others, indicating a weakness or predisposition to certain types of diseases in specific organs.  

 The prevailing opinion among iridologists and natural healers alike is that if a person with a poor constitution (or bad genetics), eats a whole foods health diet, takes herbs and uses natural healing routines, and knows what his/her specific weaknesses are, can compensate for those weaknesses and avoid many of the health problems that would have come their way such as cancer, because of bad genetics.

Just because something runs in your family does not mean you have to get it.  KNOW THYSELF - knowledge is power!

I hope this newsletter has been eye-opening in its attempts to explain why people become ill and how to go about reversing it. There are many steps people can take ON THEIR OWN that can dramatically change their health.  I've tried as much as I can over the years to publish all of my natural healing protocols and to inform people of their own power to heal themselves.  Please take advantage of my knowledge to heal yourself and reduce your dependence on the chemical-based medical profession. Don't be intimidated - just start with one formula or cleanse.  

You're going to find that it's not so bad and that it was easier than you thought.  Sometimes in cases of serious disease or disability, people need help.  That's why I'm here!
