I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HELPFUL INFORMATION. INF HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THIS WEBSITE. BLESSINGS TO YOU…This information will forever change me and my family’s life…
Hi Monique, I m glad you have found the information useful. Keeping visiting as I will be posting more often in the new year.
Love and blessings 🙂
Hi There,
It’s me again… I would like to know how to use the herbs, such as how to make decoctions and tea. I read somewhere that some herbs have to be cooked down to get all the nutrients out of them. Also, are powered form herbs only for capsules or can I make a tea with it or other things?
Hi Monique,
Usually you would use the barks and roots to make decoctions – you would cook longer to release properties from the plant. You make infusions with the leaves and flowers, which usually involves steeping for a few minutes. Maybe this video could help – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6V9GUR8UOw. You could use powdered herbs to make teas and teabags, in addition, they could be added to your smoothies, shakes and even sprinkle on foods. Also, culinary herbs do have many healing properties also, so cook with herb based seasons.
Love and blessings 🙂

Hi,
I would like to know how to fast properly. The kind of teas to drink during a fast and herbs to take.
Hi Monique,
You could fast using herbs that make up the Green Food Plus – Linden, Stinging Nettles, Nopal, Bladderwrack. If you can’t get all – 2 or 3 in combination could help – as capsules or teas. Juices and water are OK. I should probably ask though, what type of fasting are you planning on and for how long?
Love and blessings 🙂
Julie
Thank you for this information, is there somewhere to find the amount of each ingredient to make my own compounds?
Hi Lyndsie,
I will be posting an article of this, hopefully by early next week.
Love and blessings 🙂

Do you know where one can find flying duck orchid
Hi Terry,
This is one of the rare ones. You will probably have to grow your own. Usually it’s the seeds that I see being sold.
Love and blessings 🙂

I just want to be certain because I was reading through Dr Sebi’s List and I didn’t see Yerba Mate as where on this list it is….So its Alkaline? Is this really true because if so then I am extremely excited and this could definitely be a life changer!
Hi Kevin, yes, based on my research. Some on the list are known ingredients in his products, some he has referred to in speech. Some I have obtained from third party sources; yerba mate is one such herb.
Love and blessings 🙂

Oh man, this site is wonderful! Can you tell me which of these herbs are use to help increase low white blood cells in children? Also Congestive Heart Failure?
Hi Renee, the white blood cells are an important part of the body’s immunity so try to address this asap. You can use elderberry, cat’s claw, astralagus, ginger, pau d’ arco and also use the herbs of the Iron Plus and if possible, the Bio Ferro. Ensure that the child also is on a mucus-less diet, leafy greens, berries and citruses (for vitamin C). Also, it’s summer please ensure they get enough sun. The sun plays an IMPORTANT role in building the body’s immunity. You can do the green drinks if they don’t want to eat the greens, or blend them in smoothies and let them eat fruits. For congestive heart failure, mucus-less diet, cayenne pepper, Hawthorne berry and lily of the valley tincture.
Love and blessings 🙂
Julie
