Women's New Lease on Life

Many women dread each menstrual period, because they experience pain, flooding and/or poor cycle timing. In many instances they have suffered from these conditions since the time of puberty. A large number of them believe this is a pattern they must put up with throughout their life.
This is not the truth because the "dreaded" monthly cycle can be altered and the feeling of fear for the coming cycle can change to one of indifference, after learning how to control the situation.

Discomfort and pain generally starts early in life, with many women, and continues on in one form or another until late in life. This, as we've said, need not be. A young girl that has been fed properly and has lived in a healthy environment with emphasis on exercise, fresh air and sunshine can generally go through life without the discomforts so many suffer.

Some of the problems (menstrual suffering) come from the lack of hormone and estrogen balance in the body, and this is often because of poor diet habits, especially the use of processed and overcooked foods. Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds in their "wholesome" state carry with them the values (minerals, etc.) brought out of the earth during the growth period as nature intended! They and especially the grains, provide the hormones and estrogens needed throughout a person's life span. When these foods are processed, many of the needed substances and minerals are discarded, or lost. When such foods are eaten in their natural state the vitamins, minerals, hormones and estrogens, etc., are easily assimilated. When one eats good "wholesome" food, the reproductive organs can be kept in a good healthy condition, barring accident of course. Take the automobile, for example--the right kind of fuel, oil and care keeps the car running a long period of time with ease, barring accidents.

Without the proper "fuel" and care from the beginning, a girl will be suffering malnutrition and will not have adequate hormones and estrogens for the reproductive organs.

One of the very first things under the "care" part of the program is to see that the bowels are functioning properly. In other words, at least three or more bowel movements each day.
Improperly working bowels are the cause of over 90% of all disease on the face of the earth. Here is a good example of how this principle works. If a woman has suffered a lot during her life with painful menstrual periods all she has to do is to look back over the past and remember that when she was badly constipated during her menstrual cycle she was in far more pain and discomfort than if she was having free bowel movements. It is good, we feel, to start the subject of "relieving menstrual pain and cramps" with first teaching the proper principle of keeping the bowels in a good clean condition.

There are two ways of working on the bowel in order to clean it up. One is to use purging or strong laxatives to force the issue. This procedure is a habit-forming one and not well accepted by the body itself. This principle will work on the effect and give temporary relief by removing some of the compacted and congested fecal matter that is causing griping and pain. By using this procedure, we are only working on the effect and it can never give anything except temporary relief--because we are not going to the cause. Another procedure is to use regular enemas and colonics to give relief, and these can also become habit forming. As one patient said to me, "I get two bowel movements every day--two enemas--two bowel movements." In other words no enemas--no bowel movements. This again is merely working on the effect--and not going to the cause.

Our program is to go to the cause and rebuild the areas of the body that are not functioning properly and let the body do its own job of its own free will.

The organs that are not doing a good efficient job are usually the liver, gall bladder and the peristaltic muscles of the small and large bowel, which muscles are supposed to keep the food particles and the fecal matter moving on their own.

In order to get the organs back into a smooth working and healthy condition we have combined a number of herbs (food) that do the job and do it well. This formula consists of the following herbs:

Barberry bark (Berberis vulgaris)
Cascara sagrada bark (Rhamnus purshianus)
Cayenne (Capsicum minimum)
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Lobelia herb and/or seed (Lobelia inflata)
Red raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus)
Turkey rhubarb (Rheum palmatum)
Fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgaris)
Golden seal root (Hydrastis canadensis)

Mix the powdered herbs shown above; then place in #0 gelatin capsules (which can be purchased from almost any health store, herb shop or drug store) and take according to need. As there are no two people alike in age, size or physical construction (and the bowel itself will differ in persons as much as do the fingerprints), most cases will start with two #0 capsules three times a day, and then regulate the dosage from there on. If the stool seems too loose, then cut down; but if it is difficult to get a bowel movement and the stool is hard and takes much effort, then increase the amount accordingly. In order to reach the condition of a free-easy flowing movement in very difficult cases, one could take up to even 40 or more of these capsules a day, for these herbs are only FOOD and can do no damage. Then after the hard material has broken loose and is eliminating, it will gradually decrease (these are hard incrustations of fecal matter that have been "stored" in the bowel for many years that are breaking loose and soaking up intestinal liquids). Do not taper off the lower bowel tonic dosage so much at this point that you loose this advantageous momentum and continuity of elimination. In most cases, the improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles to quit working, and it will take six to nine months with the aid of the lower bowel tonics for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently in order to have the peristaltic muscles work entirely on their own.

Most people have pounds of old dried fecal matter that is stored in the colon which is toxifying the system and keeping the food from being assimilated and because of this putrefied condition, most people engorge themselves with many times more food than the actual body requirements. In the process they wear out their bodies trying to get nourishment and yet are still always hungry. On the other hand, when the bowel has been cleaned, the food is readily assimilated and a person can sustain himself on about one-third the quantity of his former food consumption and have some four or five times more power, vitality and life. Now the clean body is able to normally assimilate the simple food values through the cell structure in the colon, instead of it being trapped in a maze of waste, and inhibited by the hard fecal casing on the intestinal wall. For then, or earlier, the largest part of the nutritional substance had been pushed on and eliminated before it could do much good. When the body is completely clean, these herbal aids will no longer be necessary--because the food will be medicine, and your medicine will be your food. As long as you stay on the program properly, this should only be used when needed after the bowel is once cleaned.

The next step is to be sure the blood stream is in a good clean condition.

When the blood stream is flowing "clean" and doing an efficient job by feeding the system properly and carrying off the wastes, the whole body benefits. The reproductive organs are also being fed and cleansed (fed if the materials are there to deliver). When a "good clean blood-purifying program" is being used, we will see that the toxic poisons are being removed and boils, acne and other skin diseases will start clearing up.

In reference to the blood-purifying formula: The blood stream is life itself and it is our job to keep it clean and pure so that we can have a good circulatory system for delivering food to the body properly, and in addition, to carry off all waste materials.

A good blood purifier in teamwork with a bowel cleansing and rebuilding formula makes a wonderful combination. These two along with a good mucusless diet, can renew and add "healthy years" to a life.

This herbal blood rebuilder or formula is made up of some herbs that are cleansers, and also herbs that have astringency, others aid in removing cholesterol, some kill infection, or build elasticity in the veins and arteries to strengthen their walls. It consists of red clover blossoms, chaparral, licorice root, poke root, peach bark, Oregon grape root, stillingia, prickly ash bark, burdock root and buckthorn bark.

Use this tea (or two capsules #0 or two seven grain tablets) three times a day, six days a week and week after week to help bring health and give more pep and energy.

Now with the bowels operating properly, and the blood stream flowing properly, we now need to see that the basic food (fuel) being carried by the blood stream is the right type. This is the time to be sure to use the mucusless diet, which is "wholesome." Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds--as explained in the booklet "Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleansing Program and Mucusless Diet," Christopher Publishing Co., P.O. Box 352, Provo, Utah 84601.

The program we have just outlined is excellent for the continuation of a good operating system, but so often some of the organs have become weakened with disease and need special help.
There are so many young people today who have grown up on highly processed foods or a "junk-food" diet! Take wheat for example: it is fashionable to discard the outer layers (bran) and the "germ" which bear the hormones and estrogens, vitamins and minerals needed in our bodies. The human system craves and demands these missing items and so through the stress brought on by the difficulty in trying to get "something for nothing" one can expect troubles in this human mechanism ranging from irritability and other emotional problems to actual "disease."

To correct this situation we have, over the years, collected a choice group of herbs that replace these missing items. It is a hormone estrogen herbal combination consisting of: black cohosh, sarsaparilla, ginseng, blessed thistle herb, licorice root, false unicorn root and squaw vine.

These are natural herbal foods that are needed by both men and women of all ages. Since they are natural, the body can accept, assimilate and use those materials that are needed to produce estrogens and other hormones naturally. This formula will assist in rebuilding the weak malfunctioning areas and help keep the organs healthy so they can supply the proper amounts of hormones and estrogens themselves. Herbs are a natural food, so they do not have "side effects" and "after effects" as are so evident in man-made and synthetic drugs.

The recommended dosage is a cup of the tea (one teaspoon of tea to cup of hot water) or two #0 capsules, both a.m. and p.m. (or more often if needed) six days a week as long as necessary to get the desired results. This herbal combination is a great blessing during puberty; and again a boon to womankind right after a baby is born in order to replace the estrogens and hormones used during pregnancy.

One of the most appreciated times for this formula's use is during menopause. Many older women claim they have found relief from hot flashes--and other menopause problems, after using this formula. The recommended dose would be a cup, two or more times a day, as needed, or two capsules or tablets instead of the cup of tea.

One of the most important and helpful formulas for the female reproductive organs is one we have mixed and used over our years of practice and have called it the "female corrective formula."
This was developed to aid women with weak organs, or ones not fully mature, or do not produce their own hormone and estrogens, or when the organs are not working efficiently and are causing discomfort and/or pain. This female corrective formula can be used from puberty or throughout life as needed. It is merely a combination of herbs in a food formula to feed this specific area of the body. It is comprised of the following herbs: three parts golden seal root and one part of each of the following: blessed thistle, cayenne, cramp bark, false unicorn root, ginger, red raspberry leaves, squaw vine and uva ursi. This is an amazing combination of herbs to aid in rebuilding a malfunctioning system (uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc.). Over the years herbalists and patients have seen painful menstruations, heavy flowing, cramps, irregularity, etc., that have been helped, and then the patient now has a painless menstrual period, good menstrual timing and a new outlook on life by using these aids to readjust the poorly operating reproductive system.

Recommended dosage is one cup or two capsules or tablets morning and evening or three times a day if needed, six days a week for as long as required to get the desired results. We have seen many severe cases who have had many years of suffering cleared up in ninety to 120 days. Some get relief sooner, some take longer, no two cases are alike. This is a food to rebuild the malfunctioning organs.

We have recommended additional helps to cause a more rapid healing of the reproductive organs to help in the more severe cases. One of these is called "the vaginal and/or rectal bolus." This is an excellent aid for the women (or rectal bolus for the men) who have problems in the reproductive areas.

Boluses are made with healing herbs that (1) draw out the toxins and poisons, (2) aid (with herbal foods) in making the malfunctioning area healthy, so that cysts, tumors, and cancerous conditions will not have waste materials to "live in", because they are scavengers. Herbalists have found that some will come out through the orifices and others disperse into the blood stream and will be eliminated if the program is followed faithfully. (3) The bolus spreads its herbal influences widely from the vagina or bowel through the entire urinary and genital organs. The formula consists of one part of each: squaw vine herb, slippery elm bark, yellow dock root, comfrey root, marshmallow root, chickweed herb, golden seal root, mullein leaves. These herbs are all in powder form. Coconut butter should be melted down so that it will mix well with the herb powder. Mix a small quantity of this powder, and wet to pie dough consistency with coconut butter (which can be purchased from the drug store, health food store, or herb shop). Next, roll this mass between hands until you have a pencil-like bolus approximately the size of the middle finger and in about inch-long pieces. Cool and harden in a refrigerator. Then these are to be inserted into the vagina and/or rectum. It will be necessary to wear a sanitary napkin in order to hold the bolus in the vagina (or rectum).

Insert upon retiring and leave in all night, six nights a week. The coconut butter melts at body temperature, leaving only the herbs, and these are easy to wash out with a douche the following morning.

The slant board combination. Here is a further aid in rebuilding the muscle tone and organ tissue in not only the reproductive organs (uterus, etc.) but also for a prolapsed bowel and other organs. Make a concentrated tea (simmer finished tea down to half its amount) of six parts oak bark, three parts mullein herb, four parts yellow dock, three parts walnut bark or leaves, six parts comfrey root, one part lobelia and three parts marshmallow root. Then inject this tea with a syringe into the vagina while on a slant board (head down, of course), or use one cup or so into the rectum. This is to be used to flush out the vaginal/rectal bolus inserted the night before and to give nourishment to the cell structure within the area that can use this excellent herbal food for prolapses and/or hemorrhoid problems. Leave this liquid in the area as long as possible before voiding. Also, while lying on the slant board, knead and massage the pelvic and abdominal area to exercise the muscles, so the herbal tea (food) will be assimilated more readily.

The tea we have just given is one we have called our "yellow dock combination" and should be used orally as well. Drink one fourth of the concentrated tea in three-fourths cup of steam distilled water--three times a day.

To take the teas, tablets, capsules and to insert the boluses, then the next morning to flush them out, sounds like a lot of fussing and extra work, doesn't it? Is it worth it?

Many of my patients, over the years, have told of continual suffering from menstrual problems throughout their youth as well as adult lives. Why should some enjoy perfect health with problems during this cycle time, while others have lain in excruciating pain a week or more each month. Let's just suppose the discomfort and pain is only for three days each month, ranging from hardly noticeable, to uncomfortable, to severe. Three days is, one tenth of a month. One tenth of each month for thirty years is three years of suffering in the life of a "still young" woman.

Instead of so much suffering and discomfort, why not use a few minutes each day for ninety to one hundred and twenty days. The average patient sees such an amazing and happy change in life, in this short period, that they are astounded. (Many find it in less time than this, in accordance to the severity of the case.)

A lady had come to us a number of years ago who lived in a nearby town, only ten or twelve miles away. She had suffered sheer agony each menstrual period for ten years and dreaded to see the cycle approach because she knew she would be down in bed with pain for five to seven days. During these ten years she had traveled to specialists in female diseases from coast to coast and had spent over ten thousand dollars in fees, and for remedies, but to no avail. One day a neighbor lady told her of our formulas--the "female corrective" and the "hormone estrogen combination." She tried them and in about ninety days she was having no pain, no flooding and was on a twenty-eight day cycle, the first time in her life. Here was a happy woman now! She said here she had lived within a dozen miles of where the formulas were put together for years--so near but yet so far!

We have on file hundreds of letters from women who have received relief by this simple procedure of feeding the areas of the body suffering malnutrition.

By having a weakened reproductive system many things can happen to the body in retaliation. This is caused from weakened tissue inviting disease, cysts, tumors, etc., into the body. These are scavengers and must have toxic, low type cells and tissue, weak and dying organs to feed on. All this is the result of malnutrition! We must reverse the condition, strengthen the cells and tissues, making them so healthy they are to "rich" for scavenger diseases to live on. Herpes simplex, yeast infection, leucorrhea, flooding, cramps, swollen and painful breasts, miscarriages, inability to conceive, etc., etc., stem from the reproductive organs or systems being in an unhealthy condition.
