    Etiology

    Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar usually means hyper insulin response to food. The classic hypoglycemic does not have chronically low blood sugar, but rather a highly variable blood sugar which fluctuates from high to very low levels. This fluctuation disrupts brain function and musculature performance, leading to body and mind fatigue, irritability, depression, indecisiveness, and a host of miscellaneous symptoms.

    The natural mechanism of blood sugar regulation is conducted by the hypothalamus and pituitary which release hormones upon detection of low blood sugar levels. This hormonal message may act in three ways. If there is food in the digestive tract, these hormones trigger pancreatic insulin release. Or, in the process of glycogenolysis, the hormones prompt adrenal release of minerals and glucocorticoids to stimulate the liver’s release of glycogen stores. Adipose transition into glucose occurs through glyconeogenesis, which is also contingent on release by the pituitary and hypothalamus to the adrenal. Disorders of these processes come primarily from the following:

    1. Stress in life, particularly around eating which causes erratic digestion.

    2. Too many processed carbohydrates such as white sugar and white flour which cause excess release of insulin and burn too fast in the system.

    3. Toxic liver from a toxic environment or from excess food additives which burden the hepatic system.

    4. Hypothalamic conditioning prompting early release of insulin in anticipation of food. Those people exhibiting this syndrome are often conditioned to use food to satisfy other non-nutritional needs, such as love, self worth, boredom, etc.

    5. Sugar and other stimulant addiction. (Processed sugar is chemically similar to cocaine). Caffeine, nicotine, chocolate, etc. All act to artificially stimulate the organism in the place of good nutrition. Long term addiction upsets the blood sugar thermostat with too wide a range of on and off settings.

    6. Poor quality nutrition. Processed carbohydrates are robbed of their vitamins and minerals needed to balance the Krebs Cycle, which converts glucose into ATP. Putting back synthetic vitamins by enriching the wheat does little as natural vitamins in their original form work best in the Krebs Cycle. Fresh and raw natural fruits and vegetables with unprocessed grains, high fiber for mineral absorption, low fat (especially heat treated fats), and lots of good water go a long way to help the hypoglycemic.

    7. Weakened digestion from poor quality nutrition organs supply little of the fatty acids, minerals, fat and water soluble vitamins needed for the production of good quality gluco-regulating hormones. Treat digestion with enzymatic or emulsifying agents in the interim (see R 92).

    8. Lack of metabolic load. Glucose converts to ATP best with oxygen. Poor conditioning means poor oxygen transport and utilization. The best measure of wellness is oxygen utilization. The Krebs Cycle will work more and more efficiently as the oxygen or aerobic capacity improves (see R 91).

    9. A mental system stuck in worry, depression, negativity, and questioning of self worth. We know that the mind effects directly the para sympathetic organs of the immune, digestive, and hormonal systems. As the system becomes more unhealthy the mind set sometimes becomes more negative. Patients must break this downward cycle to cure hypoglycemia. Perhaps the true cause of hypoglycemia is living in the present day and age: an age of stress, worry, fear, unnatural foods, little conditioning, toxic air and water. Hypoglycemia opens the door to other illness; to close this door we need a total effort. This product can be a good start, but please encourage lifestyle changes as well.

    .

    Etiology

    Bacteria of all types exist on the skin and in the bowel. These creatures live in symbiosis with their human host. The immune system of the host keeps the bacteria in check so they can help the digestion, absorption, and detoxification processes. Bacteria provide many needed functions and are needed for existence. Antibiotics attack these bacteria directly without benefit of the immune system.

The Formula can be administered into the umbilicus and rubbed into the skin with child’s hand. For use with older children or adult 10 drops 3 times daily to counteract viral diseases or 10 drops once a day as a preventative.

    Remarks

    In case of influenza use R 6; for fever R 1; Chickenpox R 68; Herpes zoster R 68, R 30; Measles R 62; Mumps R 1, R 26; Cough R 8, R 9.

    . Remove patient from animal protein and increase vitamin C use and essential fatty acids.

    With bacterial involvement R 87.

    With fungal involvement R 82.

    To build immune system R 93.

    For stress involvement Vita-C forte.

    Etiology

    Exposure to virus starts the infiltration to the disease. the immune system’s condition during the incubation stage determines the degree and extent of the proliferation of the viral disease. Preventing exposure is important but even more so is keeping a healthy immune system, which allows the virus to do its work without threat to penetrate a cell to proliferate. Virus are modified types of RNA or DNA which carry messages from organisms to organisms. In nature virus are kept in check by bacteria and fungus. This triangle of micro organisms supplies a needed balance so that neither of these three becomes dominant, Excess antibiotics upsets this balance and lets virus and fungus grow.

    Etiology

    Excess male sex hormone, improper fatty acid and fat metabolism or impure blood can cause baldness or alopecia. Heredity can play some part, but usually children copy the improper lifestyles and eating habits that can lead to hair loss. Fatty acids counteract the hormones and toxic agents which cause hair loss. proper fatty acids occur in vegetable sources but are heat sensitive and destroyed at temperatures of 45 °C or lower. Eating too much cooked and processed foods can limit their absorption. Heat treated animal or vegetable fat can go rancid in the body, by pass the liver’s detoxifying process by passing into the lymph stream via the intestinal chylifers and proceed to do cellular damage in the body. Impure or toxic blood can also cause hair loss and skin involvement. Hence, certain toxemia or septicaemia can produce hair loss.

    Dosage

    1 tablespoon after meals provides digestive stimulation and benefits any digestive disorder. This formula also makes an excellent after-dinner drink, either 2 tablespoons in some water or straight; the formula is excellent for relaxing the alimentary tract to allow maximum digestion. As the condition improves use the formula later and later after meals, as 1 hour after meals is the perfect time for pancreas and liver stimulation.

    Remarks

    In case of liver type: R7.

    For pre-ulcer stomach pain: R5.

    For pancreatitis: R72.

    With anaemia: R31.

    Etiology

    Stress, toxicity, worry and lack of exercise all have detrimental effects on the digestive system. Disorder include: dry mouth from weak parotid (salivary) gland, dyspepsia from unbalanced stomach secretions, weak liver or pancreas secretions interfering with emulsification or enzymatic release, weak small or large bowel inhibiting absorption of nutrients, or some combination of the preceding.

    Dumping large amounts of enzymes into the tract might help temporarily, but to correct the problem we recommend a subtle formula of low potency glandulars supplying small amounts of enzyme, high potency glandular to stabilize and restore organ function, and finally, herbal formulas to help produce relief and to cure the digestive disorders. This formula is also a safe healthy after dinner drink to assist digestion.

Some people even can get both as one part of the immune system can over react and another under react. Recent revelations describe that the immune system is weakened by mental states like fear, depression, worry, etc. cancer is a result of a weak immune system which is overwhelmed by toxins. Lifestyle changes are essential for total immune system rebuilding.
