Natural Pain Releaver
Nature’s Phenyltol
Nature’s Phenyltol is a natural pain-relieving formula that is used to soothe aches and pains and reduce fever and inflammation. In addition, the natural ingredients in Nature’s Phenyltol do not irritate the stomach like aspirin and similar analgesics.
DL-phenylalanine (DLPA) is a combination of the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine (found in animal protein) and D-phenylalanine (found in plant and bacterial cultures). Research indicates that DLPA inhibits the action of enzymes that break down endorphins—peptide hormones found primarily in the brain that reduce the sensation of pain and affect the emotions—thus allowing the endorphins to provide longer-lasting pain relief. There is evidence that individuals suffering from chronic pain exhibit decreased levels of endorphin activity in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum. DLPA helps to restore normal endorphin activity, without interfering with the nerve transmission of pain messages (i.e. the body’s natural pain control mechanisms are enhanced without masking pain sensations).1-4
Original studies of DLPA confirmed its effectiveness for relieving pain in a number of conditions, ranging from whiplash to rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. No side effects were noted and no onset of tolerance or reduction in pain relief was observed with subsequent use. In fact, relief often lasted up to a month following the end of treatment. A recent study on chronic pain treatment for terminally ill cancer patients proved that D-phenylalanine (part of the DLPA compound) was beneficial for preventing acute or incident pain in malignant diseases, with no side effects. Other research has found DLPA to be effective for relieving chronic back pain.1,2,5,6
Although several sources indicate an absence of side effects or contraindications, with the exception of an increase in blood pressure in a few individuals, DL-phenylalanine should be avoided by those with PKU (phenylketonuria), a genetic defect in the body’s ability to metabolize phenylalanine. Furthermore, DL-phenylalanine is not recommended during pregnancy and should not be taken in conjunction with antidepressant medications (particularly MAO inhibitors).2
White willow bark has been used since the first century AD for relieving pain, lowering fever and reducing inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, fevers and feverish chills, gout, headaches, neuralgia, and rheumatism. Willow bark’s analgesic (pain-relieving) effects are due to the presence of salicylates, the most notable being salicin. Salicylates reduce inflammation and lower fever by enhancing the flow of blood to outer parts of the body and by facilitating perspiration. Researchers believe that salicin from willow bark is hydrolyzed by stomach acids and then metabolically converted into salicylic acid, in which form it provides anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and antipyretic (fever-reducing) activity. In addition, the presence of other salicylate components in willow bark may contribute to the herb’s analgesic and antipyretic actions. Incidentally, during the 1800s, salicin from willow bark was used to form salicylic acid, which was then converted into acetylsalicylic acid, otherwise known as aspirin.2,7-10
Willow bark is still in use today and is regarded as an effective analgesic, particularly against arthritis, headache pain, and the aches and pains associated with fever and influenza. Willow bark is also considered helpful in treating the inflammatory stages of autoimmune diseases and the muscular aches and back pain accompanying fibromyalgia. Furthermore, the German Commission E Monographs endorse the use of willow bark for feverish illnesses, headache pain and rheumatic complaints.2,8,11
Unlike aspirin, willow bark causes no gastric irritation or tinnitus (ringing in the ears), which are early signs of aspirin toxicity. Although there are no reported side effects involving willow bark, it is advisable to follow precautions associated with salicylate therapy, including a known hypersensitivity to aspirin, asthma, bleeding disorders, kidney or liver disease, active peptic ulceration and interactions with anticoagulants.2,12
Purple willow bark has been used with and in place of white willow bark, as it contains a higher salicin content.8,12
Morinda root has long been used in Chinese medicine to relieve inflammation, lower back pain and rheumatism. In Japanese herbal medicine, known as Kampo, morinda root is given for pain and weakness in the lower back, as well as joint pain, torn ligaments, broken or degenerating bones, and even menstrual pain. Morinda root is also taken for general pain that seems to migrate throughout the body. In addition, Chinese researchers have newly discovered several compounds in morinda root that possess antidepressant activity, while American researchers have determined that the herb exhibits hypotensive (blood pressure-lowering) properties.13-17
Wood betony herb has been used throughout history, dating back to ancient Egypt, for its sedative effects on the nervous system. Wood betony acts as a relaxant and tonic for the nervous system, helping to calm nervous tension and soothe pain, especially nerve pain. Wood betony has been indicated for a variety of health problems, including arthritic conditions, gout, hypertension, menstrual pain, migraines, neuralgia, nervous disorders, rheumatism, sciatica, and headaches stemming for poor circulation and nervous tension. Wood betony has even been used topically as a poultice for bruises and wounds. Although few scientific studies have been conducted, Russian researchers have identified substances in wood betony that possess anti-inflammatory and hypotensive (blood pressure-lowering) actions. Such findings may explain many of the herb’s traditional uses. Furthermore, since wood betony has also been used as a uterine stimulant for difficult or painful labor, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy.7-11,18

FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN!
Cleanse - Liver & Basic Bowel
FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN!
Are you plagued by digestive problems, gas and/or bloating, constipation, skin problems, high cholesterol, nausea, or a weight problem that doesn't improve no matter what you eat? Perhaps the blame can be placed on two unromantic areas of the body: the liver and large intestines.
The problem starts with incomplete elimination. Yes, I know you insist that you eliminate once every day "right on schedule." But consider that you are eating at least three times a day and that each meal produces waste products and fiber that should be eliminated the same number of times. Perhaps you have the opposite problem: diarrhea. Diarrhea is the worst form of constipation! With diarrhea, the body liquifies the waste in a desperate attempt to move it through a congested bowel. Diarrhea is a sure sign of constipation!
When elimination is incomplete, toxic material is often absorbed into the liver. While the liver is equipped to handle some toxic material, the amount arriving from a toxic bowel puts it on overload. Bile flow decreases, poor digestion results, and we decide the "indigestion" must be something we will have to live with.
A real clue as to whether this might be your problem is to evaluate whether or not you have a "pot-belly." A pot-belly is a true indicator of incomplete elimination and poor liver function.
Decreased bile flow and a sluggish bowel elimination, not dietary cholesterol, is the true culprit in high cholesterol. By increasing the amount of soluble fiber in the bowel, which both cleanses the bowel and binds itself to bile acids, a positive effect is seen on the cholesterol level. No longer is there an excessive reabsorption of bile acids and toxins from the bowel. Furthermore, the body must pull cholesterol from the blood to make more bile acids, resulting in a lower cholesterol level.
The body, in its innate wisdom, does everything it can to keep the bloodstream free of toxins, primarily through the detoxifying action of the liver. All blood from the intestinal tract is routed first to the liver, which does its best to filter the toxins out of the blood by dumping them into the bile. The bile, which is made from cholesterol, is then secreted into the intestinal tract to help digest fats. The liver and bile route can handle a certain quantity of toxins before becoming overwhelmed; however, in the pot-bellied individual the liver and bile route never get a break! The bile route becomes congested, and toxins then circulate systemically, reaching all the organs in the body. Systemic auto- intoxication results.
Pot-bellied individuals are 600% more likely to have high cholesterol levels and heart disease than their counterparts with flat abdomens. This is a direct result of autointoxication. Because the liver and bile route are congested, the body has no way of controlling cholesterol; the cholesterol elevates at the same time toxins circulate systemically. Coronary heart disease is a direct result of this scenario, created relatively independent of dietary cholesterol consumption. (pp.22-23, Flatten Your Stomach with a New Slant! by Dr. William F. Welles)
What, then, is the solution? Daily bowel cleansing (forever, if you wish to prevent a recurrence of this problem), elevating your feet while eliminating on the toilet, and liver cleansing and building just may help you feel like a kid again! Here's to your health!
FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE FOLLOWING HERB SPECIALIST: Gwen Wildes, CNHP myherbs2@earthlink.net
* * * * * * * * * * * BOWEL CLEANSING: (Must be done in conjunction with Liver Cleansing)
1. PSYLLIUM HULLS, LO CLO or NATURE'S THREE: Use 1-3 Teaspoons twice daily to provide a high content of soluble fiber for bowel cleansing. If you prefer, you can take 10 - 15 capsules of Psyllium Hulls or Fat Grabbers. Drink 8-12 glasses of water throughout the day to help this fiber be as effective as possible.
2. LBSII, LB-X, or CASCARA SAGRADA; Take enough capsules to stimulate the bowel to evacuate a minimum of 2-3 times daily.
3. ACIDOPHILUS, FLORA FORCE, or BIFIDOPHILUS: Take 4-8 capsules upon rising to rebuild the beneficial bacteria in the bowel.
4. ALOE VERA JUICE & LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL: Take 1 ounce of each with your psyllium to enhance your cleansing, sooth your intestinal tract and assist you liver.
5. ELEVATING YOUR FEET: Use a stool or waste basket to elevate your feet while eliminating. Curl your back and neck forward, dropping your head toward your knees. This position encourages complete elimination while stimulating the points that trigger elimination.
LIVER CLEANSING:
1. LIV-A HERBAL COMBINATION: Take one capsule the first day, two capsules the second day, three capsules the third day, and so on until you have reached fourteen-eighteen capsules a day. Then work back down to one capsules a day. I.E. on the fifteenth day take 13 capsules, the sixteenth day take 12 capsules, the seventeenth day take 11 capsules. If at any time you feel that you are cleansing faster than you want to (too much nausea, gas, etc), stop the progression upward, staying at that level until you can comfortably continue your progression upward. You can also use Activated Charcoal, BP-X Concentrate, and/or Detoxification Homeopathic to help alleviate these symptoms of liver cleansing.
2. MILK THISTLE COMBINATION: Take two tablets twice daily for 6-8 weeks for liver support.
3. On the even-numbered days of your cleanse, take 2 Tablespoons of virgin olive oil mixed with 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice in the morning when you arise. To mix the mixture thoroughly, pour it quickly from one glass to another twenty times. Take 2 - 3 capsules of HiLipase to help you digest the oil.
DIETARY SUGGESTIONS: Limit fats in your diet as much as possible. Use butter or olive oil instead of margarine. Avoid fried foods and pastries and try not to have red meat more than once or twice a week.
MAINTAINING GOOD LIVER HEALTH:
After completing the Liver Cleanse, it is suggested that the following supplements be used daily to continue supporting your liver and maintain your good health:
1. PSYLLIUM HULLS, bulk or capsules,LO CLO, OR NATURE'S THREE - Twice daily 2. BOWEL STIMULATING COMBINATION - Only what is necessary for 2-3 eliminations a day 3. MILK THISTLE COMBINATION - 2-4 tablets daily 4. BP-C (Liver Weakened) or LIV-C (Liver Stressed) - As directed on the bottle t o continue building the liver, if you feel your health is not where you want it. Ask your sponsor if you are not sure which to use.

Research Reports
- Cilantro and coriander are two herbs in one. Cilantro refers to the leaves and coriander is the seeds. Both are very healthful, they soothe digestion and control infection. Weak coriander tea may be given to children under two for colic. Also the powdered seeds can be sprinkled on minor cuts and scrapes, but be sure to wash the wound with soap and water first. - American Phytotherapy Research Laboratory in Salt Lake City, Utah, Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.
- To combat cancer, eat carrots or spinach daily. These foods contain 4,000 international units of betacarotene. Retinoic acid, which the body manufactures from carotenes, (chemicals in some fruits and vegetables), can block the uncontrolled cell division that leads to cancer. - Researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
- Male smokers ages 50 to 60 who took 50 international units of vitamin E daily for five to eight years were 32 percent less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer during those five to eight years than those who didn't take the vitamin. - Study conducted by the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD and the National Public Health institute of Finland.
- Consume dried mushrooms, including wood ears and shiitakes, by mixing in hot water to make a rich broth. Besides protein, B vitamins and minerals, mushrooms contain antibacterial, antiviral and other medicinal compounds that may block tumor growth. - Adriane Fugh-Berman, M.D., author of Alternative Medicine:What Works.
