Most of us would like to be more self-reliant, to be able to do something instead of wait for our children to get ill enough to go to the doctor. You can do something to help your family when they are ill. This booklet written by yours truly sums up what I've learned over the past 34 years of mothering my 7 children about treating illness naturally.

Anti-PLG 

I have my own personal experience to convince me of the worth of this powerful herbal remedy in treating colds and flu. I keep a gallon in my pantry as "medical insurance"! Nasty to the taste, but, oh, so effective! Try taking a teaspoonful when you have the slightest touch of "something". If you get the flu or a cold, a teaspoon 3 or 4 times a day works wonders. For a baby, give a dropperful. For a child, put it in a big spoonful of grape juice to mask the taste. My own method is glugging water, then quickly swallowing a spoonful, and then glugging more water.

This is freshly made and will store for quite a long time (approx 15 years). Store in a cool, dark place for longest life. This is the original Dr. Christopher formula.

8 ounce size comes in amber glass bottle. Quart size comes in a white plastic, lightproof, earthquake-safe bottle.

Kids' Concentrated Liquid Herbs
I am very particular with what I give little children. I am hesitant to give little ones prescription or even over-the-counter medicines, preferring a natural product instead. I have come across a brand that I can highly recommend as being fully wholesome and natural, plus they taste good to children! Wow!

These special children's formulas are super-concentrated and very effective! They are 100% alcohol-free, using natural vegetable glycerine as the base instead. The special processing creates a very potent punch in just a tiny dose. It takes just a little to do the trick—the dosage for a 5 year old is just 1/8 of a teaspoon. Great for teens/adults also at the dose of 1/4 teaspoon 2 or 3 times per day.

Vitamin C 

Famous for its role in fighting infection, Vitamin C is essential during an illness. It is vital to have the entire C complex, not just ascorbic acid. I have chosen this brand because it contains the highest bioflavonoid content on the market, and the source is from fresh lemons, oranges, tangerines, etc. Each capsule contains 1000 mg Vitamin C, 650 mg Citrus Bioflavonoids, and 25 mg Rutin. Your need for Vitamin C increases dramatically when illness strikes. During sickness, take 1 tablet 3 times a day (or more). You'll know when your body has had enough: the symptom is diarrhea. Just back off a few doses, and you'll be at your optimum level during illness. When you are well again, your need for Vitamin C will go down dramatically. 100 capsules in dark amber glass bottle.

Ingredients: glycerine, purified water, sorbitol, lemon flavor. Sorbitol is a safe, sugar-free sweetener. Each teaspoonful contains 300 mg. Vitamin C. 16 fl.oz, packed in shatterproof bottle.

Super Concentrated Elderberry Extract  11% Off

Elderberry is amazing stuff! The plant looks somewhat like a grapevine and the elderberries are like tiny black grapes in clusters. Research shows that elderberry has a potent effect on strengthening the immune system, especially against all flu viruses. Recent findings by an American research laboratory, confirmed elderberry's ability to block the swine flu (H1N1) virus from infecting cells.* Elderberry extract actually prevented the H1N1 virions from entering the cell, thus guarding the body against infection! What a wonderful discovery!

Elderberry is safe for all ages, including babies. I have checked out every type of elderberry product on the market and believe this liquid elderberry to be the very best! It does not have sugar or other sweeteners like most of the products out there, but is naturally sweet because of the extracting medium: coconut glycerin, a very safe, natural, and delicious substance. Just one teaspoon of this ultra concentrated liquid contains 5,000 mg. of elderberry. The ingredients are just elderberry and coconut glycerin—that's all. Just like I like it! 8 fl oz.

*Read the research showing Elderberry's effectiveness against every strain of flu.

*Read the research lab results (technical).

*Trumps Tamiflu prescription for the flu!

St John's Wort 

H1N1 is an "encapsulated" virus, which means it responds to St. John's Wort, thank goodness! Take this as a preventative daily. (St. John's Wort is traditionally know as a mood elevator, and is used for depression, so you can enjoy that side benefit too.) Safe and effective. 180 capsules.

Stress B 

B-vitamins are depleted in the body by refined foods (like white flour and sugar), by stress, lack of sleep and other conditions common to our modern lives. Yet the B-vitamins control your ability to cope and feel peaceful. I have found this supplement to be essential for many women, myself included. Alleviates nervousness and anxiety. Especially soothing for mothers stressed out by the rigors of childbearing/rearing!

Echinacea Complex  10% Off

Reach for Echinacea Complex whenever you need an immunity boost! When traveling in Germany, my son Ammon was ill, and we visited a German doctor who gave us a prescription for echinacea. It was surprising to us, but Europeans have done extensive research confirming the Native American use of echinacea as an immune stimulant. There is a lot of echinacea on the market, even in the grocery stores, but you have to be careful to buy the root of the plant, not the commonly sold leaves and flowers. The root of two forms of echinacea are the most effective: Echinacea Angustifolia and Echinacea Purpurea. This product is the best! Contains 100 capsules of 450 mg.

Pieces of root can be added to soup as they do in China, or you can go the easy way and take capsules. 100 caps.

Vitamin D3 

Your doctor has already probably put you on Vitamin D. The news is full of the latest research and reports that we need the sun to stay healthy! I think we already knew that, and using sunscreen has contributed to a Vitamin D deficiency. Research now confirms that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with diabetes, cancer, and other maladies. It only takes 30 minutes out in the sun with skin exposed to get all the Vitamin D we need (do not shower for an hour, so it can absorb through your skin). What do you do, though, when the winter comes and daily sun exposure is no longer available? Many of us get sick. Protect yourself and your family with Vitamin D. The best form is cholecalciferol D3. The optimal dose is 2,000 IU per day for children, and 10,000 IU per day for adults during times when daily sun exposure is not possible. Protect your family from illness by a healthy immune system. 120 softgels, 2000 IU.

Ginseng Root 

Feeling stressed, unable to cope with daily demands? Wish you could rest? I have found Ginseng to be a best friend to Moms—a wonderful help for anyone feeling "run down". Ginseng is an "adaptogen", meaning an herb that helps you adapt to the stresses you experience. One interesting study showed that jack-hammer operators that took Ginseng could cope with the noise and pounding much better than those who didn't. If you have crying kids, or too much work, let Ginseng help counter the effects of stress! Asians know this herb is fabulous and have used it for over 2,000 years. Ginseng is commonly used by elderly people in the Orient to improve mental and physical vitality. Korean Ginseng is a quicker working, more powerful herb, whereas Siberian Ginseng is milder. Use Korean Ginseng daily to help you deal with life's stresses, counter fatigue, and improve immune function when illness strikes and the body is under attack. Also helps with Type 2 diabetes. A safe and effective herb with a long, long track record. 556 mg., 50 capsules.

Wally's Ear Oil 

This product is the best! I am prone to earaches and have tried everything on the market to give relief. This product is the one that always works! Wally's Ear Oil is an all-natural blend of essential oils and herbal extracts that are antibacterial and antifungal. It stops the pain and starts healing! Just put ONE drop into the ear canal. (This is best accomplished by laying on your side so the drop can be aimed at the ear canal. One drop is great, two drops floods the canal and is too much, in my opinion.) I follow this drop with a cut raw piece of a garlic clove in the outer ear, and a bit of cotton ball to seal off the fumes and send them down the ear canal where they do the trick. Contains sweet almond oil, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, garlic, mullein extract, echinacea oil, garlic oil and other extracts. Very effective for babies, children and adults. This 1 ounce bottle will last you forever. I wouldn't want to be without it!

Virxcan Sun Skin Salve  49% Off

For those suffering from moles, warts, tumors or cancerous growths, this salve is incredible! Just the amount that fits on the end of a toothpick is applied directly to the growth. After a few days it reddens, becomes quite sore, and then comes out by the roots. Beats surgery! Many people (including me!) have had dramatic results with this hard-to-find and powerful product. The name Virxcan suggests that it is death (X) to viruses and cancers. Product may appear dry and crumbly: may moisten with a drop of water. 1 ounce jar.

Virxcan Salve Contents: calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, 12 trace minerals blended in a proprietary base of synergistic herbs. For external use only. Non-returnable.

"I have just finished a treatment of a mole removal with your product, Virxcan Sun Skin Salve and Colloidal Silver. I had very great success and am thankful for the product. I have passed the information on to other people!" —M.S., Texas

==========
Detailed Instructions:
1. If the salve seems dry, add a couple of drops of water to the container before you apply it. A moist paste is most effective for application purposes. Apply a thin layer of salve to cover only the affected area. Use petroleum jelly or liquid Vitamin E on the gauze portion of a Band-Aid to cover the salve. If you are allergic to tape, try Micropore by 3M.
2. Leave the Band-Aid on from 24 to 48 hours. It may burn or sting during this time.
3. Remove the Band-Aid. You will probably see a red and greyish swelling. This is normal. Clean the area gently with a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide or alcohol, or run cold water over it. In a few days, a scab will form.
4. Reapply a new Band-Aid daily. When the scab starts to pull away from the surrounding skin, apply colloidal silver on some gauze or cotton cloth and tape it over the area to help pull the scab out by the roots and prevent infection. The scab may take anywhere from one to seven weeks to remove itself. To prevent scarring, be careful not to dislodge it prematurely.
5. In order for the salve to work most effectively on deeper layers of a more profoundly affected area, you may need to gently scrape the area before applying the salve.
6. Occasionally, a second application of the salve will be necessary. In the case of a more profoundly affected area, gently scar the scabbed area before reapplying the salve.

* After you remove the first Band-Aid, should any discomfort occur, soak the area with peroxide for 20 minutes at a time to alleviate pain.
* We advise you to use the salve on an area other than the face for the first time, so you can experience the salve's functional properties.
* Keep the salve from making contact with metal objects to maintain the effectiveness of the product over time.
