Many women today suffer from hormonal fluctuations and disturbances. Either through the onset of the menopause, or because of a complete hysterectomy, there is a need to supplement the body’s deficient production of necessary estrogen and progesterone. Quite rightfully, these women are leery of taking the synthetic forms from the drugstore; medical science itself recognizes that synthetic forms of estrogen will exacerbate and promote the onset of cancer. While there is a safer synthetic version, the pharmaceutical companies seem to prefer a form that is more economical to produce. To fill this need, we have formulated a particular mixture of herbs that have pre-cursors of both estrogen and progesterone; both of these hormones tend to diminish with age, and are therefore required as supplements. Dong Quai Rt is one of the more preferred sources of the hormone estrogen, and has been traditionally used to regulate the menstrual cycle because of these hormone like compounds. Wild Yam Rt will help supply progesterone, which will help for example, in cases ofPMS, when estrogen levels are too high. Licorice Rt is added for its affinity for the adrenal glands that produce very small amounts of estrogen. In addition to glycyrrizin, one of the active compounds will tend to balance out level of both hormones, raising one if it is too low, and decreasing the other if it is too high. False Unicorn Rt is added simply because it is one of the finest harmonizing herbal agents for the reproductive tract, providing nourishment to the tissues and being soothing to the mucous membranes. Chaste Tree berries have the unique ability to lower production of FSH: Follicle Stimulating Hormone – which produces more estrogen, and to stimulate production of LH: Leutinizing Hormone – which will increase production of progesterone. Thus, in combination with Licorice Rt, and the harmonizing influence of False Unicorn Rt, they will act to balance both hormones in the body. Dulse is added for its nourishing effect on the thyroid, which, as part of the endocrine system, sends the appropriate signals to the rest of the organs and glands, including the reproductive tract.

Many years ago, we offered bulk herb formulae in powder form to the health food stores. They in turn sold it in large glass jars; each customer would weigh out the desired amount, bag it up and take it home to put into capsules.

The more popular ones were usually those of Dr John Christopher,a naturopath, master herbalist, and a devout Mormon from Utah. In the early 80’s, Dr Christopher was a gentle white haired practitioner who was legendary in the USA and Canada. He was a true healer who firmly believed in the healing powder of plants and the Divine Spirit that created them.

While it can be reasonably argued that all his formulae were inspired to some degree by his faith, one formula stood out as having special significance – that formula was his Bone Ligament & Tissue formula.

While listening to him at a lecture one day, he described a very bad injury sustained by a young child. The trauma involved broken bones, and serious damage to the flesh on those bones. Dr. Christopher was so compelled by what he saw, that he prayed to God for guidance in what should be given. Immediately, there came to mind a number of herbs (see below) and directions how to prepare and give as treatment.

Dr Christopher stated that within a very short period of time ( unknown..) the young child was fully healed , with little evidence of the original trauma. He went on to say that he would employ this formula in all cases of broken bones, torn or pulled muscles and ligaments, and any other type of physical trauma that the body might suffer from.

While we have sold this formula for a number of years now to help treat similar conditions, its substantial and, at times, impressive usefulness in arthritis, is only a recent discovery. It will significantly reduce the pain and inflammation of arthritis and in combination with other formulae, will address the underlying fundamental disturbance in blood chemistry. This remedy alone is not intended to correct the arthritic condition; rather it is used as an adjunct in the overall treatment a practitioner might suggest. Whether knitting together broken bones, rebuilding damaged tissue, or assisting with post-operative surgical interventions, the BLT formula offers significant restorative action. Length of treatment will vary from case to case; however a period of at least one month is suggested as a minimum time to allow for these herbs to work. More chronic and serious cases naturally will require much longer time periods before noticing lasting improvement.

NOTE: this formula should not be used during pregnancy or by nursing mothers.

The perception of the pancreas as just being responsible for blood sugar irregularities, is only partly true: it also looks after the production of a number of key digestive enzymes: lipase, protease, and amylase. In addition, it produces Sodium Bicarbonate to neutralize the stomach acids in the food mass, as it enters the small intestine for absorption. Equally, it must be kept in mind that another of its digestive enzymes called pancreatin, not only digests proteins, but also serves to help digest cancer cells in the body. The onset of many cancers, is inextricably linked to a deficiency of the pancreas. When we suffer from digestive upsets, particularly what was once referred to as bilious colic – notable for the belching, and other eructations, both the pancreas and liver are involved. Equally, the pancreas can be the ‘dark horse’ in obstinate cases of constipation. The pancreas takes it signal from the liver; when one is deficient, it leads to the other falling down in its duties. This particular mixture of herbs will help to restore the functioning of the pancreas in these two key areas: normalizing insulin production, and that of enzymatic activity.

Many years ago, my grandfather, a doctor in Scotland, would dose his children every Spring with a mixture of Sulphur and molasses. This tonic was meant to loosen the detritus of the winter diet, heavy with starch, meat and few vegetables. While well intended, the Sulphur was in elemental form, and thus tended to produce weak acids (sulphurous, etc) that did little more than tarnish the silver medallion they wore around their neck to check on the elimination of the Sulphur through the skin. While we all benefit from a regular cleansing/rebuilding regimen for the blood, it is necessary to employ those herbs that have organized Sulphur, and other minerals in their make-up. This synergistic blend includes a number of herbs, roots and barks that provide excellent germicidal, and anti-bacterial action. Further, there are herbs that provide substantial nutritive and sanative effect In addition, other herbs provide dissolving and astringent qualities, while others supply much needed minerals to help shift the (ph) balance back in favor of normal values. This formula can be combines well with SEA-LEV as an powerful restorative to the blood. Some may need KPH1 (Kidney Tonic) to assist in flushing the waste matter out . Check with a qualified practitioner if in doubt.

Many people today suffer from heart disorders – palpitations, high blood pressure, tacchycardia, dysrythmia, etc. Given the fast-paced and stressful lifestyle that we lead today, it is not surprising that the heart tends to have problems carrying out is ceaseless activity. When we suffer from prolonged and unresolved stress, when our nerves are taut and on edge, this will always affect the heart. Our reliance on questionable foods such as fried or junk foods and the like, will equally contribute to the weakening of this tireless worker. Over time, the heart muscle becomes sensitive, inflamed and especially malnourished. The blood that bathes it seems unable to provide the necessary mineral salts and compounds to quell this disturbance. Given the endless bio-electrical activity behind the heartbeat, it is therefore most important for the heart to be given the appropriate ratios of minerals such as Potassium to Sodium, and Magnesium to Calcium. It is for this reason that we have combined the herbs listed above. Hawthorn and Motherwort both supply organic Calcium Chloride to nourish and support the heart muscle. Further, they also contain needed cardiac glycosides that serve to calm and pace the contractions, while gently lowering the blood pressure. Finally, glyco-proteins (mucopolysaccharides) in the Hawthorn help to sooth and restore irritated tissues.
