I WAS TAUGHT COMMON SENSE AND WHAT WORKS
Ever since I was a little kid, I have always been an inventor. Maybe because I was born on the same day as Leonardo de Vinci, who knows? So when I first studied herbal medicine, I could hardly wait to get past the basics so I could design intricate and complex herbal formulae made from rare and exotic herbs. And of course these herbs would only be found on remote desert islands, the deepest rainforests or on the highest peak in Tibet. And of course, these formula would be very specific smart-bombs for very specific diseases. I wanted to be an herbal specialist. On the other hand I was very blessed to have apprenticed and interned with the greatest natural healers and herbalists of the last century These natural doctors, my teachers, had about 100 years of combined clinical practice. They were the top guns. They knew what worked and what didn't.
        The great men taught me the incredible healing power of creating and living a healthy life, and also the miraculous healing power of using herbs to stimulate the body's elimination channels. They also taught me many specific treatments, but NEVER at the expense of good common sense healthy living. They taught me that EVERY patient had to do the basics, no matter what was wrong with them. No matter what their particular disease was named, no matter what their symptoms were. EVERY patient starts with the common sense basics of good health!
MY PATIENTS TAUGHT ME THE REST
I saw patients with all kinds of problems. I knew I had to start at the beginning, the foundations, and then after they completed a series of my natural and herbal basic training, I could then get down to the fun stuff, the specifics. Well this is when my patients cheated me out of all of the fun. They had the nerve and the gall to get well before I was ready for that to happen. That's right:
95% of my patients. after finishing my
Foundational Formulae and Foundational Programs. were WELL!

80% of my patients were well just after doing my
Intestinal Detoxification Program.
That's right, the vast majority of my patients, before I ever got to treat their specific problem, their problem was GONE. For this reason I began to call these formulae and programs my Foundational Herbal Formulae which are herbal formulae covered in the first section of this catalog, and my Foundational Programs which are covered in the back of this catalog. The vast majority of my patients didn't need to go any further. Also, following these programs makes all my Specific Herbal Formulae covered in the middle of this catalog work even better. Like my
Patients, when you start these common sense herbal formulae and programs, you will probably forget what was wrong. with you in the first place.
