The quality that I remember most when thinking of my famous father, Dr. John R. Christopher, was his extraordinary positive attitude. This positive outlook was reflected in a cheerfulness that never quit. Even when he suffered physically or even through endless persecution from the medical establishment, because of his herbal treatments, he maintained his love of life and deep concern for those in need. 

Living in an era when natural remedies are much the fashion, we may often forget what a pioneer Dr. Christopher was, and what he sacrificed and suffered to help bring about the renaissance of herbal healing in North America. Appreciation for his singular struggle comes when you see his life's path in the following biography.

He was born November 25, 1909 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Jean Ramone and Lorena Roth Raymond. Both were emigrants to the United States, and for some unknown reason, they left their infant son and an older sister at the Salt Lake City Orphanage. When prospective parents came to that orphanage, the children would be lined up so the couple could make their choice. On one such day, Leander and Melissa Ann Craig Christopher visited the orphanage, looking for a son. Suddenly, without invitation, a baby, dressed only in a diaper and thin undershirt, toddled up, crawled into Melissa's lap, and snuggled into her shoulder. She exclaimed softly, "This is our son!" 

The original parents had stipulated that both children remain together, so now Raymond (often called "Ray") and his sister Ruby had a new family. They lived in Salt Lake City in the Avenues district, which was then a semi-rural neighborhood. The first glimpse the Christophers had of Raymond's unusual future came one winter's night when young Ray lay critically ill with croup. The parents were pacing the floor with him, distressed because of the high fever and labored breathing, wondering if he would have the strength to catch another breath. Suddenly a knock came at the door. Leander, startled because of the late hour, answered. 

Standing on the porch was a bearded man in short sleeves, with no coat in the bitter cold. He announced to Leander that their young child was ill but would not die; that he had an important mission to perform. Leander listened to the stranger give explicit directions on how to cut the phlegm and stop the croup. 

Leander started into the house to follow these instructions, but then turned to thank the visitor and invite him into the house to get warm. But the man was gone without a trace. There were no footprints in the deep snow. Ray's Parents followed the man's instructions, and he recovered. The Christophers never forgot this experience, and Ray always remembered that his life had an important purpose because of it. 

That Ray became a healer is appropriate and also ironic, because he had been born with advanced rheumatoid arthritis, walking with a cane even as a child, or often confined to a wheelchair. Along with the arthritis, he developed hardening of the arteries. Despite the constant pain and suffering, young Ray was cheerful and optimistic. Doctors at the time predicted that he would never reach the age of thirty. 

Raymond's adopted mother suffered from a lifetime affliction of diabetes and dropsy, which left her exhausted and debilitated. As Ray, just a little boy, observed her suffering from his own wheelchair, he resolved one day to be a doctor. His mother laughed a little, commenting that he couldn't even stand the sight of blood, that he couldn't bear to see chickens or other animals killed for the evening meal. What kind of doctor could such a person be? 

Raymond answered, "Mother, I will be able to heal people without cutting them up. There will be natural ways of doing it." This answer from a young child became a charter for his life's mission. When Raymond was sixteen years old, such a doctor visited the Christopher home: an Iridologist who could ascertain a person's condition from examining the iris of the eye. This doctor, seeing in her irises the very conditions she had been treated for over the years, recommended dietary changes and gave Mrs. Christopher some herbs. As the doctor left, Ray said, "That's the kind of doctor I'm going to be when I grow up." Several months later, Raymond tried to locate the doctor, but he had been arrested for practicing medicine without a license, and put into jail­a foreshadowing of Ray's own future 

After he graduated from high school, he heard of another natural doctor in Canada, who massaged people's feet to heal them. He was in such demand that people lined up to see him, even pitching tents for weeks at a time as they waited. Ray wanted to see this man, not only to have his rheumatoid arthritis healed but to study under him. He prepared to make the trip.. His parents tried to discourage him, since they had no money at that time in the middle of the Depression. Nevertheless, Ray continued to prepare for the trip, till he heard that this man, too, had been arrested 

Ray worked during the days at his father's lumber mill, and at night he played with a dance band to save for college. He graduated with honors from Henager's Business College in Salt Lake City. Because he had a photographic memory and a way with words, he wanted to go to law school. He was accepted at the University of Utah School of Law. 

The day before classes began, Ray was riding in the car of a friend and they were hit by another vehicle. Ray was pronounced dead at the scene. His grief-stricken parents arrived at the morgue to identify the body ­when his mother suddenly screamed! She had seen the faintest flicker of an eyelash! The mortician bent over Ray, and he too saw the slightest motion of life in him. He was rushed to the hospital, where he lay in a coma for several days, and then, after drifting into consciousness, lay helpless only able to speak. Nurses had to feed him, shave him, and carry him to the bathroom. 

One afternoon, a driver from the lumber company came to visit him. He tried to cajole him into coming back to work. Ray just laughed, knowing he couldn't even move his hand. The driver suggested a chiropractor. But when Ray mentioned this possibility to the four doctors who were treating him, they scoffed at him. Nevertheless, this driver convinced Ray's parents to take him to a chiropractor. Ray resisted with all he had, but they carried him out, and to the chiropractor they went. 

Several days after his chiropractic treatment, Ray was working again at the office. He was still bandaged about the head, but he regained his strength and could work as he used to. However, his injuries had damaged his photographic memory and given him trouble with his short-term memory. One day he went to the bank to deposit company funds, and his mind went completely blank. He located some police officers, asking them for help. They found his identification and took him back to the office, and his memory finally returned. 

During this recuperation period, he would suffer periodic pain in the head and back from the injuries of his accident. At times the pain was so severe he couldn't sleep. And at the same time he was helplessly watching his mother die from complications of diabetes and Bright's Disease. Her condition stopped responding to even the highest doses of insulin, and her arms were purple from constant needles. She began to die, slowly poisoned with gangrene. As Ray watched her painful death, helpless to do anything for her, he prayed that he could learn how to stop such suffering. 

His own pain caused him to experience many sleepless nights. To help pass through these he would study and read. In addition to many good books, he chose to read from the scriptures. One night, confined to a chair with arthritis, he picked up The Doctrine and Covenants, a book of scripture from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It fell open to Section 89, commonly known as "The Word of Wisdom," a health code for the church. Ray had read this many times before, but this time he gained some unique impressions. The words sparingly referring to meats ­and wholesome ­referring to grains and vegetables ­deeply moved him. He vowed to follow the health code strictly, and developed for himself a diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. 

He was astonished to see his health improve immediately and dramatically. Within a few months, he gained weight, began sleeping soundly at night, and had enough energy for a full day's work. In 1939 he wrote "Just What is the Word of Wisdom?", a booklet that described this experience and outlined his ideas about diet and health. Not long after, Dr. John A. Widtsoe, an authority in the Mormon church and author who had also written on the Word of Wisdom, called Ray on the phone, praising his booklet as being "well ahead of its time." He urged Ray to distribute it to as many people as he could. 

Ray began to do so, talking to as many people as would listen about his ideas on health. Many of them responded with derision and ridicule. With typical good humor, he often retold one particular story. He was still working at the lumber mill, and at lunchtime, one of the workers told him he was wanted at his office. There lay a sumptuous meal, set with a fine tablecloth and beautiful china: fresh green alfalfa ("common cow hay," as he later described it), dried wheat and rolled oats, and an elegant decanter of apple juice. The workers waited to see what he would do. With characteristic good grace, he pulled out his chair and plucked up the fancy cloth napkin. "How nice of you! This is really wonderful!" he exclaimed, and ate every bite. They never kidded him again, but he lived lonely among his peers, since vegetarianism was not understood at the time 

Ray married Irene Short in 1935, and had two daughters, Sandra Joy and Carol Ann, but this marriage did not work out, and they were divorced in 1943. He later met Wendella Walker, fell immediately in love, and they were married on August 14, 1944, in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She always supported his ideas about health and his work, and together they had five children: John Rulon, Ruth Ellen, David Wendell, Janet Lorene, and Steven Craig. 

A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE MESS SERGEANT 

When World War II broke out, and just a few months after the Christopher's were married, Ray received a draft notice on his doorstep summoning him to active duty. A 35-year-old man, divorced and newly married, with two families to support, he reported for service but requested status as a conscientious objector, presenting his Word of Wisdom booklet as evidence of his firm beliefs. 

"I'll serve my country with pride on the front lines," he said, "I'll carry stretchers that can save people. But I will not carry a gun. I cannot kill another human being." During basic training, he was told to carry a gun on night watch, but he refused. The officer thrust a night stick at him, but he shook his head, and refused to carry a night stick, too, because you could kill people with a night stick. The officer ordered Ray to be confined to quarters under guard till next morning, when he was tried for his rebellion. The officer hearing the case slapped his palm sharply on the table and shouted, "This is ridiculous! A conscientious objector that won't carry a nightstick? What if everyone in the world felt as you do?" 

"Then there would be no war" Ray answered. 

"That's the answer I needed," the officer responded. "Take this card. It shows that you are a conscientious objector, and no one will challenge you again." 

From Fort Douglas, Utah, Ray traveled to North Fort at Washington's Fort Lewis, where he was assigned to supervise a medical dispensary. Here was more irony­ Raymond Christopher, a buck private, gave orders to pharmacists and therapists, all of whom outranked him. Even the cleaning boy outranked him. Ray, in charge of the entire operation, served under a Major Shumate. 

At first Ray felt frustrated and angry. Having learned and seen so much healing using natural methods and nutrition (he had all ready helped many people), here he was confined to use standard medical treatments. He knew that there are better ways. He saw cases among the soldiers that he knew would quickly respond to natural treatments. However, Major Shumate was firmly against any such treatments. So he spent his time observing the effects of orthodox medications, seeing first hand the futility of the treatment. He saw that standard medicine only treats symptoms instead of the cause of disease. But one day a soldier came to the dispensary with a supposedly incurable condition, and this changed the course of his life. 

Black Walnut Tincture
At a staff meeting, composed of the heads of eight dispensaries, Major Shumate, a private dermatologist in civilian life, said he had never seen a case of contagious impetigo so severe. The soldier had been hospitalized nine times, where his case had cleared up temporarily, but it always flared up when he was released. Specialists from the eastern U.S. had been called in, but nothing had worked. 

Major Shumate brought the soldier in, and' except for Ray, they all gasped with horror. The soldier's head had been shaved as much as possible, but wherever the stubble of hair grew, the scalp was covered with a crusty scab nearly an inch thick. 

"What a beautiful case of impetigo!" exclaimed Ray (who had never seen one quite that bad). 

"You must be a born doctor," said Shumate, slapping him on the shoulder, "It's one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, too. But unfortunately, we have to release this man from the army." 

"I object to that!" cried the soldier, "I came into this army a clean man. I caught this thing while I was here, and now you're asking me to take this filth home to my wife and children. I won't do it." 

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing more we can do," responded Shumate, "We've done everything possible. We've used every cure medical science has to offer, and nothing has worked. We have to give you a release, and it will be an honorable discharge." 

"Wait," Ray said. "That man can be healed." 

Shumate whirled to face him. "None of your blasted herbs!" The other officers rolled their eyes and guffawed. 

The soldier spoke up. "I should have something to say about this. I don't care if he puts horse manure on my head, as long as he heals me." 

Shumate paused, and then said, "All right. If you sign papers releasing the government and the army from any liability, you can try this treatment." 

The papers were signed, and the soldier was placed under twenty-four hour military police surveillance to prevent escape. As the meeting broke up, one of the officers jeered, "When will the big unveiling be?" 

"Monday morning!" Ray snapped back, without really thinking. Then he realized­he just had one week. Here, far from home without the herbs that he generally used, he had to treat the worst case of impetigo he had ever seen. Immediately he called a Salt Lake friend who had a black walnut tree in his backyard. He explained his dilemma, and his friend agreed to gather the black walnut husks, even though the ground was covered with snow. They were transported overnight to Fort Lewis. Ray picked them up in the morning­sopping wet, which could weaken their potency. Not only that, but Ray only had rubbing alcohol, not grain alcohol, which was not available through the army medical system. And instead of fourteen days to macerate the tincture, he figured he could take only two days. He carried the tincture with him, shaking it vigorously all the time. 

At last he strained the tincture and made a compress to fit over the soldier's head like a football helmet. He left instructions that the compress should be kept wet with the tincture for the rest of the week. He also wrote a prescription to the mess sergeant, for wholesome foods for the soldier to eat. 

All too soon Monday morning arrived, and the dispensary heads all met, ready to ridicule Ray for his herbal treatments. "Everybody ready?" asked Shumate in a mocking tone. "Private Christopher, are you ready to show us your miracle?" 

"I'm ready," responded Ray, feeling nervous but determined. "I haven't seen him yet, but we'll take a look." 

The guards ushered the soldier in, and Ray skillfully cut away the adhesive tape. As he lifted the compress off, the scab came off with it, and the soldier's scalp was as clean and pure as a baby's. The impetigo was gone, with no scarring. 

The officers all gasped. Shumate shouted; "I've never seen anything like this in all my medical practice!" He took Ray aside. "I've misjudged you, Private Christopher," he admitted. "From this day on you have full permission to practice with herbs. Set yourself up a laboratory here. Do whatever you like as long as you're under my jurisdiction at Fort Lewis." 

And with that Ray became the only practicing herbalist in the United States Army during World War II. His black walnut tincture became famous, not only to cure impetigo, but for fungus infection and jungle rot. When soldiers learned that Private Christopher could cure jungle rot, his patient load multiplied tenfold. Eventually this tincture was successful in curing scrofula, eczema, ringworm, shingles, and chronic boils. 

Blood Circulation Formula, (BPE) 
During his time at the dispensary, Ray started his personal search for an herb that could relieve his own serious health problem, high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, which he had suffered since adolescence. He began working with cayenne, which is high in calcium and vitamin C. He found that cayenne is one of the best remedies for the heart. He saw that it restores and retains the elasticity of the blood vessels, correcting or preventing hardening of the arteries and preserving the health of the circulatory system. Ray also found that cayenne equalized blood circulation and brought blood pressure to normal. He even found that cayenne was powerful enough to stop a heart attack in progress. In later years, carrying cayenne in his herbal doctor's bag, he never lost a person to a heart attack. He remembered one woman who had suffered from heart problems for eighteen years. She had taken powerful heart medication for more than seven years. After starting cayenne , she was able to stop this medication within months. Her varicose veins also completely cleared. 

Soon Ray added ginger, parsley, golden seal, garlic and Siberian ginseng root to cayenne to create a formula called Blood Circulation Formula , which equalizes blood pressure and builds the health of the circulatory system. This formula, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, prolonged Ray's own life many years after the doctors' predictions. At age 45, ten years after the doctors predicted he would die, Ray had a full physical examination. The doctors were astounded to see that he had the blood pressure of a healthy teenager. Just before his death, Ray's blood pressure at seventy years was that of a young man in his twenties. 

During World War II, racial prejudice was still rampant. Ray began to understand and feel the distress of the black soldiers who were treated so negatively at the dispensaries. Black soldiers often suffered physical agony in silence rather than go there. But soon word spread that the dispensary head at Fort Lewis was different; within months he was seeing dozens of black soldiers every day. They received kindness as well as the superior care from herbal treatments. 

At Fort Lewis dispensary, Ray had the chance to experiment with different herbs that he had only studied about previously. There he began to develop his own herbal formulas, which remain to this day a singular contribution to herbal medicine. 

HARVESTING WEEDS AT DAWN 

When Ray's military obligation was over, Major Shumate invited him to spend  another tour of duty in the dispensary and let the Army pay for his medical education. But Ray preferred to go home to Olympia, Washington, home to his wife. Now he was ready to become a natural doctor, his childhood dream. Coming home with the knowledge and first-hand experience of using herbs in the army, he wanted to expand his skills and help others. 

He and his wife agreed that he should travel to Canada to study under Dr. H. Nowell at Dominion Herbal College. There he earned his Master Herbalist Degree. He returned home to Olympia to set up his first practice. But during those final war years and their aftermath, Ray found it difficult to practice as an herbalist. 

First of all, it was hard to build enough of a practice to support his small family. In those post-war years, jobs were scarce, and most people had little money to pay for treatment. And unlike today, it was impossible to order herbs through wholesale houses. There were few enough of these businesses, and most of these were forced to close their doors in those lean years. But Ray figured out what to do and did it with typical vigor: he secured a job weeding gardens each morning for ready cash, and then took the medicinal varieties home in large burlap bags 

He would spread his morning's harvest across the counter tops of their small kitchen. Then he would wash each weed, rinsing out the soil carefully. He sorted them carefully into categories and then prepared them to use for his patients that afternoon. Ray turned a difficulty into a blessing: he had cash to sustain his family, and also had the freshest herbs one could desire. But he never withheld any knowledge to line his wallet; he taught his patients to harvest their own herbs from their own backyards and treat themselves. 

One of the most successful "weeds" he used was plantain . Ray knew that Galen and Pliny, ancient herbalists, had used it as a powerful blood purifier to kill infection rapidly. He also knew that it would relieve blood poisoning that can result from cuts, slivers, bites, and stings. In one astonishing case, Ray treated a man who had slipped at work and drove a chisel deep into his palm. The man couldn't afford to take time off, nor to pay any doctors' fees, so he wrapped the hand with a dirty rag and finished his day's work. He even worked for a few additional days. 

By the time he arrived at Ray's office, his hand was swollen and hot and a red streak ran from the badly infected hand up the arm. A painful lump the size of a baseball in his armpit prevented the man from dropping his arm to his side. The man was frantic with pain and fear. Ray asked him why he hadn't sought medical treatment when the condition became so severe, but the man was afraid that his arm would have been amputated. Ray taught him how to dig up plantain plants, wash and crush them, put them on the wound and bandage them in place. He was to add fresh herb to the poultice every time it dried out. He was also to drink at least three cups a day of the tea. The man wanted to come back for a checkup, but Ray assured him that he would be healed completely by the next day. 

The man did return in three days, but only to report what seemed to him a miracle. On the first day, the red streak had disappeared within a few hours and the swelling in the armpit had reduced. By evening, the wound was much better, and within a day or two, the condition was completely healed. The man had full use of his hand and arm and was able to earn a living for his family. 

In a similar case, a young girl had cut her foot on a shell while clam hunting at the beach. She had continued to run and play for the afternoon, but by the next morning her foot and leg were swollen and feverish. She also had a red streak forming toward her groin. Ray gave her similar instructions as he had for the man with the chisel wound. The wound healed quickly, and the next day the child skipped into Ray's office to pay him. He protested that the pay was too much, but the child said, "Mama told me to bring you this much because my foot healed so quickly." As it turned out, the Christopher's were paid many times over for this assistance, because this girl's family owned a smorgasbord in Spokane, and were some of the few people in the area who were able to get butter and fresh produce because of wartime rationing. Throughout the remainder of the war, they saw to it that the Christopher's had a little butter and some fresh fruits and vegetables as a token of their appreciation. 

Because Plaintain and other herbs are only available during the summer, Ray began to concoct concentrates, tinctures, and ointments to use year-round. Once a mother called Ray about her ten-year-old son who had been stung by a wasp. His hand was severely swollen and he had passed out from the pain. 

Ray tucked a jar of  Plantain  into his bag and went on the house call. When he arrived, the child was still unconscious and his hand swollen to twice its size. Ray quickly spread a thick layer of plantain ointment over the bite about the size of a silver dollar, covered the ointment with gauze, and used a gauze bandage to hold the patch in place. 

"Is that all you're going to do?" the mother asked. "That's all that needs to be done," Ray smiled and told her that the ointment would draw the poison from the sting and relieve the pain and swelling. The boy soon regained consciousness and sat up. Within a half hour, the pain was much relieved, and by next day he was out playing baseball with his friends. 

COMPLETE TISSUE FORMULA (BF&C)
All internal formulas no longer have Comfrey due to the FDA requirements (capsules and extracts) The rest still contain comfrey. 
Building on his early experiences with black walnut tincture, Dr. Christopher developed the Bone, Flesh and Cartilage formula for skin trouble. The additional herbs made a wonderfully effective remedy for minor burns, infection, cuts, abrasions, bruises, hemorrhages, sore gums, bunions and corns. It also removes calcium deposits that exacerbate arthritis. A nurse in California used it to dissolve a bone spur on her heel. It has healed skin cancers. And it works, as the black walnut tincture does, for eczema, psoriasis, and other chronic skin conditions. 

The beloved story of how Dr. Christopher came by the Complete Tissue formula begins when a woman came to his office early one morning, panicky and desperate. Hours earlier, her fourteen-year-old daughter had attempted suicide. She left the daughter in the care of several neighbors to find help from Dr. Christopher. The girl had developed' almost three years before, a severe case of dermatitis, with heavy scales on her face, neck, arms and hands, legs and feet. No physician or specialist had been able to identify her condition, much less find a cure. She began to gorge herself, became extremely overweight, and eventually decided to end her life. As Ray listened to this desperate mother, he offered a silent prayer for help and "a formula came immediately to my mind" as he related it. He jotted the herbs down and gave the mother complete instructions on how to make and apply the fomentation and tea, and sent her to an herb shop to get them. 

Four days after this mother had come to his office, she called to report that the scabs and scales were gone, and the girl's skin began to show what the mother termed' "a healing glow." Six months later she was a cheerleader at school and enjoying all the social activities of girls of her age. 

Complete Tissue has been known to heal wounds, even surgical incisions that have failed to heal. One California woman had an abdominal surgical wound that had been draining for more than three years. She applied the ointment to the wound and took the capsules internally. Within seven days, the wound was entirely healed. 

Complete Tissue has even been known to regenerate tissue. Ray's nephew was a passenger in a car accident, and although relatives held onto him so that he wasn't thrown from the car, he was dragged for some distance along the hot asphalt, and his small fingers were scraped to stubs as far as his first knuckles. Ray gave the child capsules of  Complete Tissue and told the parents to mix the powder with honey and wheat germ oil. Within two months, the fingers had healed, complete with perfectly formed fingernails. When Ray next saw his nephew, the child ran toward him and threw his arms around him. "Look, Uncle Ray!" he shouted. "My fingers grew back!" 

In a similar story, a young woman came to Ray and said, "How do you like my fingers?" He said he thought they were beautiful, clean, and well manicured. "Can you tell which finger was cut off?" she asked him. He couldn't tell, even when he looked close. She told him her story: her finger had been amputated below the knuckle. She had used Complete Tissue, and the knuckle had regenerated. Gradually, all the bone and flesh filled in, and even the fingernail grew back perfectly formed.

One of Dr. Christopher's most dramatic cases of skin regeneration involved two ten- year-old boys who were playing with matches and gasoline, when the gas burst into flame. Both boys were severely burned. The surgeon at the hospital said that the hands would either have to be amputated at the wrist and iron claws attached to both arms, or the boys could endure several years of painful skin graft surgeries. After years of such surgery, the boys would have nothing better than mummified claws which could never move like fingers. 

One set of parents told the surgeon to begin operations; the other set of parents took their child to Dr. Christopher. He cringed at the badly scarred skin, tendons, muscles and nerves. He gave the parents a salve made of comfrey, honey, and wheat germ oil. He told the parents to keep a thick layer of this burn ointment on the area. 

Within a week, the parents took their son to see the surgeon, who was dumbfounded. The burns had healed from third-degree to first-degree. "What on earth have you been using?" he asked. The parents just said, "An old-fashioned remedy." "Whatever it is, keep on using it. I don't think there's need for surgery now. I can't believe it. But these hands are going to heal without scar tissue." 

A year after the burn, the first boy remained in the hospital. The parents had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars on the surgery and skin grafting, but the boy ended up with stiff, unbending claws that the boy hid with gloves. 

The other boy, whose parents had applied the herbal salve, healed completely. The tendons, nerves, muscles and flesh were all renewed, with no scar tissue. Even the fingernails grew back. The family's total investment was less than twenty dollars for the herbal salve. 

RASH OINTMENT (CMM)
A synergistic  blend of herbs for the pain, itching, and inflammation of dry, scaling skin and burns.  Commonly used for poison ivy, oak or sumac.

LYMPHATIC FORMULA (INF Comb.)
From his experiences with plantain, Ray developed INF, a formula to kill infection. He began with plantain; then added black walnut hulls, which kill infection, destroy worms and parasites, and relieve infection of poisonous snake bite or rabid animal bites. He added calendula flowers, marshmallow root, golden seal root, and bugleweed, herbs that kill infection and clear toxins from the lymphatic system. 

BLOODSTREAM FORMULA (Red Clover Comb.)
Soon Ray hoped to team INF with a formula to purify the bloodstream and remove infection that circulated throughout the body. He came up with the famed Red Clover Combination (Bloodstream Formula), a purifying formula of red clover blossoms, chaparral, licorice root, peach bark, Oregon grape or barberry root bark, poke, and stillingia or echinacea, cascara sagrada bark, sarsaparilla root, prickly ash bark, burdock root, and buckthorn bark. Ray chose each ingredient carefully, after much herbal study about each herb's characteristics. 

He began with red clover blossoms, an alterative herb which gradually purifies and cleanses the bloodstream and corrects any deficiencies in the circulatory system. It also removes obstructions in this system while it nourishes and builds the tissues reducing, any spasms or irritability in the blood vessels. 

He added chaparral for its ability to clear up all infections, even stubborn ones. He had seen it heal boils, abscesses, carbuncles and other sever infections by purifying the bloodstream. He had used it to clear up several severe cases of acne within six weeks because of its power to purify the bloodstream. 

He chose echinacea because in those days it was famous for clearing blood poisoning. It is now know also for its supreme action to enhance the immune response. Dr. Christopher used echinacea with success in clearing up infection associated with gangrene, ulcers and cancers. He saw it clear staph infections in the bloodstream. To complete the formula, Dr. Christopher added two of nature's most powerful blood purifiers, burdock root and buckthorn bark. 

Ray began trying out the Bloodstream Formula , and it worked fast and well. One of the most dramatic cases was a forty-five-year-old man who had developed severe sepsis throughout his system. He had lost his hair and fingernails. His eyes were ulcerated and he had even developed some of the symptoms of leprosy. He had lost so much weight that he looked like a skeleton. Ray gave him the Red Clover Combination, together with nutritional guidelines, and within six weeks he had regained weight and had no signs of infection. 

A middle-aged woman had been diagnosed with cancer so advanced that her doctor had sent her home, with no further treatment, to die. Ray started her on the Bloodstream Formula , as well as a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts, and he also advised her to avoid hard water, processed foods, sugars, and cholesterol-containing foods. He also started her on the three-day cleanse once a month. Several months later, after following these directions, she had a checkup with her doctor, and the cancer was gone. She was cured. 

As Ray used the Bloodstream Formula for various conditions, he was amazed at its powers. A baby was born to an Rh-negative mother and an Rh-positive father which usually necessitates draining the baby's blood followed by total blood transfusion. Sometimes the treatment is successful, but sometimes the baby develops complications or even dies. The mother had previously borne three children who had to have the transfusion. When she had to have open-heart surgery a few years later, the doctor warned her not to get pregnant again, or she and the baby could lose their lives. However, she wanted a large family and went to Ray for help. He put her on the three-day cleanse , the Bloodstream Formula , and the mucusless diet , including at least a gallon of distilled water and a quart of red raspberry tea each day. She followed the program and eventually became pregnant. She maintained the program throughout the pregnancy, and when the baby was born, he had no Rh factor. The family eventually had two more Rh-free babies. 

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT (Metaburn or Appetite Appeaser) 
During his practice in Olympia, Ray developed many of his formulas in response to particular needs. One woman had come to him in despair, having gained a hundred pounds in the years since she had married. Ray put her on the mucusless diet, as well as the three-day cleanse once a month. He promised her that if she would follow the program, she would lose the weight naturally and permanently. Several months later, she called him and invited him to a celebration as ­she had lost all the weight! After a wonderful vegetarian dinner, she led Ray and the family to the back yard. He was puzzled as he sat in one of the chairs surrounding a freshly-dug grave which was scattered with bright wildflowers. He thought they must be planning to bury a well- beloved pet. 

Then the children began carrying from the house aluminum pots and pans, putting them inside the grave. They marched to the outside cellar, hauling up slabs of bacon and large smoked hams, adding them to the aluminum pans. At a time of rationing and severe economic depression, Ray saw this as a significant sacrifice ­and an inspiration for another of his formulas. 

He put together Appetite Appeaser , to be used in weight loss. He combined chickweed, safflower flowers, burdock root, parsley, Norwegian kelp, licorice root, fennel seed, echinacea, black walnut hulls, papaya leaves, and hawthorn berries. Throughout the years, he saw people experience astonishing results with the formula. The licorice root and fennel seed curb the appetite and relieve cravings. Historically, the ancient Greeks nibbled on fennel seeds to control hunger during fasting. Knowing that the body holds on to fat reserves if it is missing essential trace elements, he included the powerful nutritional herbs such as kelp and parsley. He added the papaya leaves to help with metabolism and absorption. The other herbs help cleanse the blood and regulate the adrenal and thyroid glands. 

THE NERVINE FORMULAS­ 
EAR & NERVE FORMULA(B&B) 
Used for Hearing Loss and Earache. - When this procedure is used as explained here, it can be an aid in assisting an improvement of poor equilibrium, failure of hearing, lockjaw (tetanus), aiding the motor nerve, etc.  With an eye dropper put into each ear at night four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of the herb tincture listed below, plugging ears overnight with cotton, six days a week, four to six months, or as needed.  On the seventh day, flush ears with a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half.  The herb tincture is made of blue cohosh, black cohosh, blue vervain, skullcap and lobelia.

MEMORY PLUS FORMULA  (MEM)
A great combination of old fashioned herbs used to cleanse, build and increase circulation to the brain.  It consists of blue vervain, gotukola, Brigham tea, ginkgo, blessed thistle, cayenne, ginger root, and lobelia.

RELAXEZE
Ray, or as he was coming to be known by this time, Dr. Christopher, developed other formulas for those who were suffering. A family brought in a fifteen-year old boy who had constant epileptic seizures, as many as twenty-five in one day! He could not be left unattended, and the family had hired nurses to watch him day and night. The epilepsy created roaring noise inside his head, and in an attempt to stop it, the boy pounded his head against the walls until blood poured from his ears, nose, and mouth. No doctors throughout the state could help in the condition. The boy could not talk and had never attended school. He was diagnosed as severely retarded and doctors recommended institutionalization. Instead, the family came to Dr. Christopher in a last attempt for help. 

Ray recommended the mucusless diet and therapeutic massage . Then he came up with two herbal combinations to build and strengthen the nervous system. He showed the parents how to make the teas and give them to the boy. Within six months, this boy, who had been thought retarded, was speaking, and had tutors brought in twice a week to keep up with him in his learning! Instead of being handicapped, he was actually brilliant! Within a few months, he was at the normal level for his age. He enrolled in school, seizure-free from then on. 

Dr. Christopher developed and used formulas that came to be known as Ear & Nerve Formula,  Memory Plus Formula, and  Relax Eze.   Memory Plus Formula heals the nervous system tissue, restores memory, and strengthens thought processes. Relax Eze also feeds and rebuilds the nerves and reduces irritation of the nervous system, soothes spasms and tics, and relieves pain. 

Relax Eze is based on skullcap, a nervine herb without the side effects of pharmaceutical nerve medications. It is naturally calming for those who are troubled by worry or emotional distress. Dr. Christopher often used it to help with insomnia. One woman who had been troubled throughout her life with chronic insomnia had never slept more than thirty minutes at a time. After one cup of Relax-Eze tea, she slept soundly throughout the night. 

During his practice in Olympia, Dr. Christopher developed two career trademarks: his famous house calls and his success with incurable diseases. He would sometimes travel more than fifty miles one way in the middle of the night to patients he had never even met. On one of these house calls, he found a man who was in the throes of pain and paralysis of arthritis. From his wheelchair, he said, "Please, help me. No one has been able to help me yet. I have tried every doctor, but nothing has worked. My money is gone. I have nothing left." 

"Don't worry," said Ray, stroking the man's gnarled hand. "You don't need money to pay me. Let's see what we can do for you." From his bag, Ray took his morning's harvest of burdock root , firm and fresh. He chopped the roots and brewed burdock tea, telling the man to drink as many cups a day as he could tolerate. Then he made poultices from the tender burdock leaves, placing them over the painful joints. He taught the man how to make his own poultices, how to eat properly and take quarts of fresh juices.

Within weeks, the man's joints began to loosen, and he could stand for the first time in years. Soon he could walk­and then run! Eventually he was completely healed. Only a few months after he first saw Dr. Christopher, he was back on the job as a night watchman, without pain or difficulty. 

Dr. Christopher had special understanding and empathy for arthritic conditions since he had suffered from the same ailment early in his life. His knowledge came first- hand: if he stayed on the mucusless diet , with olive oil or wheat germ oil, he scarcely noticed his arthritis. But if he ate breads or pastries, he needed a cane to walk. If he ate sugar, he became crippled. And if he ate red meat, he was back to his wheelchair within two days. 

JOINT FORMULA (AR-1)
He knew first-hand the healing benefits of burdock root, which works a chemical reaction on calcified joints of arthritis. He used it as the basis of AR- 1, his arthritis and rheumatism formula. He added yucca stalk, wild yam root, hydrangea, Brigham tea, chaparral, black walnut hulls, black cohosh root, wild lettuce leaves, sarsaparilla root, valerian root, and cayenne; herbs that detoxify and cleanse the condition, remove calcium deposits, relieve pain and kill infection. He saw this formula work miracles in even the most advanced cases. He always warned patients not to expect healing to take place all at once. In arthritis there is much rebuilding and healing to do. To the Joint formula, he added hot fomentations over extremely painful joints, a quart or two of kidney bean pod tea daily, the mucusless diet, and daily use of the Complete Tissue formula. Joint Kit Information

LOWER BOWEL FORMULA (FenLB)
Dr. Christopher usually found that people with incurable conditions were willing to try herbs, even if they had disdained them before. One veterinarian doctor had contracted undulant fever fourteen years earlier in the packing houses where he had inspected meats for the federal government. No matter what advanced treatments were tried, his condition worsened. By the time Ray arrived at the house, the man was completely helpless. Attendants had to roll him over to prevent bedsores, and he couldn't even feed himself. He said, "I've never tried herbs, but I'm at the end of my rope! They only give me a few days to live I want to live!" 

Ray knew that the man needed a thorough cleansing, and quickly. He gave blood cleansing herbs and juices. And then he prescribed what became one of his most famous formulas, to clean the bowels and colon. Dr. Christopher knew that more than ninety percent of all disease is caused by congestion in the colon. Processed foods weaken the bowel, creating pockets and balloons filled with old fecal matter, a perfect place for germs to proliferate. And the hard material absorbs moisture, spreading the toxins back into the body. 

Lower Bowel works not only as a laxative to clean the bowel, but as a food to tone, rebuild and strengthen the colon at the same time. He began with barberry bark, which stimulates the flow of bile and acts as a non-habit-forming laxative. He added cascara sagrada bark, a famed laxative herb that strengthens the peristaltic muscle. Then he included cayenne to stimulate the cells of the bowel and stop bleeding; ginger to relive gas and stop cramping and pain; lobelia which acts as a catalyst as well as stopping pain and cramping; red rhubarb root, a laxative that also relieves nausea; turkey rhubarb, another gentle, pure laxative; fennel which relieves gas; and golden seal to heal, rebuild and prevent infection. This formula works on both the small and large intestine. 

Within six weeks, the veterinarian, who had been so near to death, was out mowing the lawn. Passing neighbors were astonished: "I thought you were dead!" they called out to him. "No sir! I've turned to herbs. And if you want to feel this great, you should see Dr. Christopher yourself!" Cases like this eventually filled the waiting room of Dr. Christopher's office each morning. 

One case in particular was a woman who came because of severe pain in her shoulders, so intense that she could not even lift her arms. After examining her briefly, Ray determined she had a large pocket of fecal matter trapped at the ascending transverse junction of her colon. Toxic waste had drained through her bloodstream, irritating the nerves of her shoulder and eventually causing this excruciating pain. Ray began by massaging the reflexology point on her foot that corresponded to the point of congestion. She screamed with pain as he kneaded the spot. This eased the pain in her shoulders. By taking the Lower Bowel formula, she had no more pain again. 

Though his practice continued to flourish, Ray and his family were becoming homesick for their former mountain home and for their friends and relatives in Utah. They decided to close his practice in Olympia, Washington and return to Salt Lake City. 

HOME TO UTAH 

In the early days of Utah history, herbalism had been well-accepted; the early church leaders had been committed to herbal healing. But things had changed in Utah, it was now a center of orthodox medical healing, unready for natural healing. During this time, he completed a naturopathy degree from Iowa's Institute of Drugless Therapy and an herbal pharmacist degree from the Los Angeles Herbal Institute. 

Ray couldn't make enough in his practice to make ends meet, so he started work as a salesman, often traveling out of state. As he traveled he seemed drawn to people who needed his help, and he always offered it freely. He recalled the phone call he had from a family with eight children in a tiny frame house in Great Falls, Montana; people he had met selling encyclopedias. The mother was frantic. An intestinal flu was running through the community, and two of her eight children had come home with it. Dr. Christopher knew that the family only had one bathroom ,­a disaster if all should come down sick with intestinal flu! Remembering a thick patch of red raspberries along the family's back fence, he told her to gather the leaves, only stripping a third from any one bush. She was to brew a tea of the leaves. 

"Give the sick children nothing but raspberry tea ," he advised. "Give them all they can drink, and nothing else. Give the others tea, too. That's all they should eat or drink till the flu has cleared up." He told her that the family should be fine by morning if they followed these instructions. 

A few days later, she called to tell him that the children were indeed fine by morning, instead of suffering for weeks, as had their classmates. No one else in the family got the flu. The mother had borne and raised sixteen children, and later graduated from Brigham Young University as a registered nurse. At graduation, she was honored by the university president and her classmates with a standing ovation. Over the years, as she practiced nursing, she also helped patients with herbal remedies. 

COLD SEASON IMMUNE (Garlic, Rosehips, & Parsley) 
Dr. Christopher knew that raspberry leaves could cure a viral infection of a cold or the flu. He knew other herbs worked as well, and combined some of these remedies in a formula for colds and flu. He started with garlic, proven to kill both bacteria and viruses. He added rose hips, parsley, watercress and rosemary leaves. He made this into tablets and capsules and advised patients to take these with a cup of steam- distilled water. For faster action, the capsules could be opened and made into tea. 

SINUS PLUS FORMULA (SHA Tea) FOR HAY FEVER 
Just as medical doctors could not do much for colds and flu, hay fever presented a similar problem. Wanting to avoid chemical remedies, Dr. Christopher developed SHA, a combination based on a natural plant extract of pseudoephedrine, with Brigham tea, marshmallow root, burdock root, parsley, cayenne, chaparral, golden seal root, and lobelia. Used together with the mucusless diet , it feeds and strengthen the pulmonary organs to ease nasal and respiratory congestion, working as a natural decongestant and antihistamine. For stubborn hay fever, Dr. Christopher advised patients to thoroughly chew and swallow a thick pulp of grated horseradish root and apple cider vinegar three times a day. 

ADRENALS FORMULA (Adrenetone)
Often Dr. Christopher was called upon to help patients whose bodies were worn out by stress. He developed Adrenetone to rebuild the adrenal glands, which are always exhausted when there is stress. He began with mullein leaves, the perfect "gland food." He added licorice root, famed for directly supplying the adrenal glands with needed nutrients. He added gotu kola to relieve fatigue and stimulate the adrenal glands; cayenne which brings oxygen and other nutrients to the glands, and ginger which flushes out congested capillaries. He finished with Siberian ginseng, famed for easing stress and boosting endurance among Soviet athletes, and hawthorn berries which tone the heart and reduce its load during stress. 

Male Urinary Tract Formula  (Prospallate) - An aid for the prostate
In response to a patient's distress, Dr. Christopher developed Prospallate, to dissolve kidney stones, kill infection, and clear sedimentation in the prostate gland. Dr. Christopher discovered that this was also an effective formula for gonorrhea. The formula consisted of cayenne, uva-ursi parsley, golden seal root, gravel root, juniper berries, marshmallow root, ginger root and Siberian ginseng, to be taken with parsley tea. 

PROSTATE PLUS FORMULA   (Prospalmetto) - An aid for the prostate
This combination assists the body in reducing swelling of the prostate gland.  It also helps to strengthen and tone the prostate while cleansing it with nourishing antioxidants.  This formula contains Saw Palmette, Mullein, and Ginkgo. 

KIDNEY FORMULA (Juni-Pars)
To help patients with incontinence, bed wetting, kidney stones, or bladder/urinary infection, Dr. Christopher developed Juni-pars for the kidneys and bladder. As a base he used two of the most effective and fastest-acting natural diuretics­ juniper berries and parsley. Juniper also corrects problems in voiding urine, and parsley is one of the best-known herbs for rebuilding urinary tissues. One woman in Chicago lay dying with edema. After only four days of parsley tea and parsley fomentations, she was healed. To those two herbs, he added ginger root, to help the herbs work together; uva ursi leaves which dissolve kidney stones and other inorganic calcification; marshmallow root which acts as a soothing and healing emollient to ease the flow of urine; cramp bark which relives spasms; and golden seal root which kills infection and heals tissues. Numerous patients who took this formula were able to overcome incontinence and chronic urinary tract conditions. 

Despite his success in developing these formulas, and his family's joy in being together with extended family in Utah, Ray was becoming increasingly frustrated. He could not be licensed in the state of Utah. One of the city's naturopaths, suggested that he become licensed in Wyoming and then return to Utah. Dr. Christopher decided to follow his advice. On the trip out, the family realized how hard their financial situation had actually been. They ran out of gas twenty miles out of Evanston. With no money to buy more, Ray walked to the nearest farmhouse. The farmer gave Ray gasoline from the tank of his tractor. On borrowed fuel, the Christopher's arrived in Evanston. 

EVANSTON 

The family found a place to live with a spacious office in front for Ray. With nothing to live on but a few boxes of food they'd packed in the car, they hung out a sign announcing their arrival and waited for patients. Local people had a hard time with this new arrival ­ many of them didn't even know what a naturopath was. All they had experience with was orthodox physicians. 

Just when Ray was afraid they'd have to starve, a few patients started trickling in, most for minor ailments like athlete's foot or a sprained ankle. These few didn't provide enough of a living for the Christopher family to pay their bills and put food on the table. When circumstances were the worst, the Christophers received a phone call from Della's sister Jane. She told them she wanted to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She knew that her father couldn't afford to support her financially, and she hoped to find someone who could. Ray offered to support her on a mission for the two full years. When he hung up the phone, he and his wife looked at each other. What had he done? Sometimes there was hardly enough food; the adults would scant themselves so the children could have their fill. But they shared a faith in the Lord and gratitude for what they had. As Jane prepared to enter the mission home, she asked Ray where he might like to see her serve as a missionary. He said, "My father was from Paris, and my mother was from Switzerland. I would love to see you serve in the French-Swiss mission! But tell them to send you where they need you the most." 

The Christophers borrowed money against their naturopathic equipment in the Evanston office to supply her with clothing and other necessities for the mission. With the last of their funds, they boarded the train with her for Salt Lake City. 

The line of missionaries was long, waiting to enter the mission home where they receive and prepare for their assignments to some corner of the globe. When Jane reached the front of the line, the receptionist paused. "Where would you like to go?" he asked. 

"I want to go where you need me the most," she replied. 

"The place you are needed most is the French-Swiss Mission." 

The Christophers were delighted. But then they boarded the train back to Evanston and reflected on what they had done. With the last few dollars in his pocket, Ray and Della had a meal in the dining car and prayed for the family's future. 

When he entered his office waiting room the morning of his return, he was astonished. It was filled. Patients sat in every available space, waiting for appointments to see the new naturopath in town. There was money to keep Jane on her mission. There was money to feed his family again! The patients were the best advertisements Dr. Christopher could hope for. Word-of-mouth recommendations came from people who had suffered for years, unable to get help from the orthodox medical community. There was the woman whose arthritic joints were at last freed, the asthmatic whose airways were finally opened, and the polio victim who at last walked. 

In one dramatic case, a man arrived in his wheelchair, hoping for some relief from the pain of his affliction, but resigned to the doctor's pronouncement that he would never walk again. "I know I can relieve your pain," Ray told him," and if you'd like to walk again, I think I can help you do that, too." With the mucusless diet and herbal remedies, the man left the office with new hope. Within a few months, he was walking around town, telling others about Dr. Christopher. 

Although their business flourished, the Christophers had a hard time adjusting to  the cold climate of Evanston. One of their favorite jokes was: "We missed that one day of summer­we were in Salt Lake that day!" 

SANCTITY OF LIFE

Throughout his practice, Dr. Christopher opposed birth control and refused to assist in abortion. He remembered one belligerent young woman who came to him seeking an abortion. Although his patient schedule was full, he counseled her for almost an hour about the sanctity of life. "Let this baby come; give it life; take care of it and love it " 

"I hate you!" she screamed, jumping from her seat. "If I had a gun, I would kill you! I'm going to get rid of this baby, and if you won't do it, I'll find another doctor who will!" As she ran from the office, he pleaded with her to remember the things he had said. 

About a year later, the woman came into his office, with a sweet baby in her arms. "I just want to thank you," she said, stroking the baby's head. "I told you I hated you, that I wanted to kill you, but you made me think. I went to three other doctors for an abortion. Each time as I sat in their waiting rooms, I heard your voice. I couldn't go through with it. This baby has changed my life; she is the most beautiful thing I could ever have been given." 

Another day, the phone rang, with a woman on the line who was hemorrhaging rapidly, about to lose her baby. She'd had miscarriages before and wanted to save this one. He told her to stay in bed till he arrived. Just then the phone rang with another woman, on the opposite end of town, in the same precarious situation: hemorrhage, losing a baby. He told her to stay in bed. He stuffed more herbs in his bag and raced off. 

Dr. Christopher directed each woman to take half a cup of false unicorn tea every half hour till the bleeding stopped, stay in bed and take plenty of fresh juices. Within months, each came to Dr. Christopher's office to show him their beautiful, fully formed babies. 

FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE (NuFem)
Dr. Christopher's experience with false unicorn led him to develop two formulas for women. The first, Female Reproductive Formula, was formulated to rebuild a malfunctioning reproductive system. Along with false unicorn, it contains golden seal root, blessed thistle, cayenne, uva ursi leaves, cramp bark, false unicorn root, red raspberry leaves, squaw vine, and ginger root. Female Reproductive Formula was effective for menstrual cramping and flooding, for infertility. With its natural source of estrogen, Female Reproductive Formula corrects an estrogen imbalance, which is often the source of many female problems. 

In one particular case, Dr. Christopher treated a seventeen-year-old girl from Texas whose cycle was so exhausting that she was hospitalized each month for dehydration and excessive vomiting. When she took Nu-Fem (new name Female Reproductive Formula), her problems disappeared. Another woman in Evanston had suffered from terrific pain during menstruation for ten years. She had invested thousands of dollars on specialists, without receiving any relief. After using Nu-Fem (new name Female Reproductive Formula)  for only ninety days, she had a regular, pain-free cycle. 

Female Reproductive Formula also rebuilds the feminine organs, particularly the uterus. An Ohio woman had suffered severe pain from a badly tipped uterus. After taking Nu-Fem for five days, the pain cease, and within several weeks, the doctor was astonished to see  that the uterus was no longer tipped. 

Female Reproductive Formula also aids in conception and makes normal pregnancies possible. One couple who for fourteen years were unable to conceive, came for instruction. They took Nu- Fem, distilled water, the mucusless diet, and wheat germ oil and received the child they had longed for. Nu-Fem also helped a forty-one year old woman from Portland who had suffered nine miscarriages, all within the second or third month of pregnancy. Nu-Fem restored her reproductive system, and she too was able to bear a child. 
 

HORMONAL CHANGEASE (Changease)
(Taken from Dr. Christopher's Herbal Combinations - "It is a herbal hormone combination.  These are natural herbal foods that are needed by both men and women at all ages.  Being "natural" herbs, the human body can accept, assimilate and use these needed materials 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.  The critical times when this formula is necessary, are when entering puberty, during pregnancy, during the weeks and sometimes months following the birth of a child, and during menopause.  Herbs are a natural food, so they do not have "side effects" and "after effects" as are so evident in man-made synthetic drugs.  Herbs used in this formula are black cohosh, sarsaparilla, ginseng, licorice, false unicorn, holy (blessed) thistle and squaw vine. 
     For women the best results are achieved when combined with Female Reproductive Formula. 
     For men the best results are achieved when combined with Male Urinary Tract Formula.") 

Taken from his life story - Dr. Christopher's second female formula based on false unicorn is known as Changease. He recommended it for puberty, pregnancy, nursing, and menopause, including "male menopause." The herbs in Changease provide precursors to hormones, which the body can easily convert to the hormones that it requires. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand cannot be completely assimilated by the body. They may be stored in the body tissues, with potentially serious side effects. Changease can help with the changes associated with puberty, can be an outstanding pregnancy supplement, and can relieve hot flashes and other symptoms associated with menopause. Because both men and women require varying amounts of female hormones, it can be used for hormonal imbalance in men as well. 

Blessed thistle is one of the important herbs in both formulas. This wonder herb, which can bring up the milk supply in a nursing mother. Dr. Christopher remembered one mother who lost her milk for almost two months. Her baby could not digest formula, soy formulas, or animal's milk. He was almost dead from starvation and dehydration. Blessed thistle brought this mother's milk back, and saved the baby's life. Another mother was ordered by a doctor to wean her three-month old infant. Her milk was insufficient, he said. Blessed thistle gave her a good supply of rich milk. Still another mother of a large family grew fatigued and began to lose her milk, and just two capsules of blessed thistle each night restored so much milk that her nightclothes were wet with it.  (Blessed thistle caps, Blessed thistle extract)

But perhaps the most dramatic story about blessed thistle was the family where the mother was killed in an automobile accident. The seventeen-year-old sister brought the baby to Dr. Christopher; the infant had been thrown clear of the car and was uninjured. But it could not digest formula or animal's milk. The young woman began to take blessed thistle tea, and soon she had a good) rich milk supply. She nursed the baby till it was weaned. 

Similarly, a woman came to Dr. Christopher, intending to adopt a baby and wanting to breast feed. It was their fourth adoption, but she hadn't been able to nurse any of them. Dr. Christopher helped her get onto a good diet, plenty of fresh juice, lots of distilled water each day, and at least three cups of blessed thistle tea a day. A few months later, she came to see him, and, throwing back her robe, showed him a chubby Navajo baby, nursing from her stark white breast. She said, "I love my four children so much, but I feel so close to this one. He is blood of my blood." 

With such success, Dr. Christopher's practice in Evanston grew steadily. Each day the small waiting room was filled to capacity, all day long. Some cases were simple, some complex, and some involved mental illness. 

One such woman came into the office with her sixteen-year-old daughter. The girl had Down's Syndrome, and had been institutionalized in Lander, Wyoming. The girl could not speak. The woman wanted to keep her daughter home with her. Dr. Christopher recommended a complete program, and within three months, the girl was quicker and brighter, more responsive, and was even speaking simple sentences! The officials were so amazed that they allowed the child to stay at home with her family. 

One night there came a pounding at the door; when Dr. Christopher opened it, there were two young men, supporting a wizened old man who was struggling for every breath of air. Dr. Christopher recognized the wheezing sounds of asthma. "Please!" cried one of the young men. "Our regular doctor is out of town and we can't find his assistant. Can you help keep Pap alive?" Dr. Christopher settled the old man in a chair and gave him a cup of peppermint tea. The man had been sick with asthma for twenty- six years. For twenty of those it had been so severe that he could not hold a job. He could not lie down in bed because he choked up so much that he risked death. His sons built him a special chair to sleep in at night. The sons both worked to support the family's needs, including the high medical bills from this condition. The man required shots, respiratory therapy, and oxygen treatments, often more than twice a week. 

Dr. Christopher helped the man sip the peppermint tea . Ten minutes later, he gave him a teaspoonful of Lobelia Extract . Ten minutes later, as the four of them talked, Dr. Christopher spooned in another dose, and ten minutes later, another. Dr. Christopher began to quietly gather pots, pans and buckets. Suddenly the man began vomiting. From two till five in the morning he vomited the thick, sticky, blackened phlegm that had choked his airways. Because of the peppermint tea, his muscles were relaxed and he suffered no soreness from the hours of heaving. 

Just after five o'clock, well before dawn, Dr. Christopher said, "You can take your father home now; he is finished with the treatment. He is fine now." The two rushed to their father's side to take him home, but he said, "You don't have to help me, boys. I'll walk." Dr. Christopher settled into bed for an hour's rest before starting the next day's work. The boys took the man home to his chair but he said, "Put me to bed, boys.  I'm going to sleep in a bed tonight." 

"You can't, Pap. It will kill you!" 

But the father insisted and went to bed. He fell into a heavy sleep for thirty hours. When he woke up, after sleeping soundly for the first time in twenty years, he said, "I'm healed. I'm going out to get a job." He got a job as a gardener, and he never lost a day's work. He slept in a bed every night thereafter. 

LUNG & BRONCHIAL FORMULA (Resp-Free) 
For all respiratory complaints, Dr. Christopher developed Resp-Free, a natural plant extract of ephedrine in an herbal base of chickweed, marshmallow root, mullein leaves, comfrey leaves and lobelia. This formula would expel thick mucus secretion and rebuild the lungs. It would also soothe inflammation, relieve pain, and heal hemorrhage in the lungs. This would be used in addition to the mucusless diet , distilled water, oil massage , and Complete Tissue applied externally. 

HERBAL  EYEBRIGHT      (tincture, for internal use) 
Formulated around the herb eyebright, this formula feeds the cell structures around the eyes. Dr. Christopher used it in many instances to help restore sight. It would be brewed into a tea for use as an eyewash, as well as taken internally. It could relieve the pressure of glaucoma, remove scar tissue on the cornea caused by infection, and remove cataracts. An elderly man in Fort Worth, Texas, suffered from both glaucoma and cataracts­and was healed completely with the formula. A Michigan woman used it for ten days and removed cataracts on both eyes. A woman in Kentucky, who had lost 80 percent of her sight due to a sub retinal hemorrhage, had her sight completely restored. A California woman had the beginnings of cataracts when the gel broke in both her eyes. Her vision failed and her eyes were so dry that she had to lift her eyelids with her fingers each morning. With Herbal Eyebright, both eyes healed and the cataracts dissolved. 

And, most dramatically, an elderly woman had lived in blindness for many years; with the formula, her sight was restored. A young man who had suffered an eye injury and had gone without sight for ten years was able to see again. Two young adults, blind since birth, used the formula and were able to see! 

One Missouri baby had been born with Coloboma; one eye was smaller than the other. Three leading specialists proclaimed the blindness to be permanent. The mother began patiently using Herbal Eyebright with a dropper in each of his eyes. Within three months, this supposedly blind baby was reaching for objects. By the age of three, he ran freely, his vision perfect. 

Another couple had a baby born without optic nerves. Dr. Christopher knew that giving sight to such a child was almost impossible. But he knew that the formula could cause no harm, so he recommended Herbal Eyebright in the eyes and given internally, and Ear & Nerve tincture dropped in the ears and given internally. Six months later, the same couple brought the child to a lecture. He chased balls across the room and picked them up; he had normal sight. 

Dr. Christopher often laughed about an experience he had in Evanston. He was called to a farmhouse forty miles away in Woodruff, Utah. The rancher and his whole family were very sick from an undiagnosed sickness. The farm work and housework were all close to a standstill, because the family was so weak. "What are you eating?" Ray asked. 

"Oh, we eat well," said the rancher. "I just stored up a thousand pounds of white flour, and we have plenty of canned goods to see us through the winter." 

"Have you ever considered whole wheat?" Ray asked 

"You could never force that down me," the rancher jeered. "I don't believe in it. There's no sense in it at all."

"Now, you're a rancher," said Ray, "and you've got some prize horses and cattle out there. Do you feed them carrots?" 

"You bet," the rancher smiled, "I've got about half a ton of carrots out there." 

"Do you ever eat them?" 

"Naw. . .they're just for the horses­you know, to keep them in good condition." 

"What about grains?" 

"I've got coarse-ground grains in the shed for the cattle." 

"You bring in from the shed a thousand pounds of those coarse-ground grains. Prepare it over low heat till it is soft and chewy, stir in a little honey or some fresh diced fruit. You eat that. And take your thousand pounds of white flour, and give it to the cattle." 

"What?" the man said angrily, "That would kill my prize cattle!" Then the man's face reddened as he realized what he had said. "You caught me," he admitted. "All right. I'll do it your way." 

Within a few weeks, the family had received good health and vitality once again. 

HOME TO SALT LAKE AND TROUBLE 

The Christophers finally prepared to return to Utah, to family, friends and a familiar setting. Once they returned, he set up an office similar to the one he'd had in Evanston. But even though he had been licensed in Wyoming, he could not receive similar licensing in Utah. Some of the people in the area were adamant against herbs and vowed to prosecute anyone who prescribed their use. Even the few patients that made their way to Dr. Christopher were considered suspect. 

One day, a young man and his sister called Dr. Christopher to their home. Lying in bed was their mother, in terrible pain, almost at death's door. The children explained that she was riddled with cancer and had been given only hours to live. They wanted to fulfill her wish of dying at home and wanted something to ease her pain during her last hours. Ray had been warned against visiting the woman because of legal ramifications. But he could not turn his back when there was pain. He leaned close to her and said, "I don't know how long you'll be with us, but if you will follow this program for a few days, you will be free of pain. And I believe you will enjoy ease until your time comes." She nodded weakly, with a smile. He left the family with dietary instructions and a handful of herbal formulas. 

As he left the house, he noticed neighbors peering from behind heavy lace curtains. He visited her several times, and soon she was able to get out of bed, to talk walks among her beloved gardens, to smile, to associate with her children. One morning a few months later, she gathered her children around her and bid them goodbye, telling each how she loved them. She closed her eyes and died, without pain. The children phoned Ray with the news, expressing their gratitude for her final few months of joy and companionship. 

A few days later, the police came to Ray's house, handcuffed him, and arrested him for murder, and took him to jail. The neighbors had noted his license plate and filed charges against him when the woman died. She had been sentenced to die within a few hours and Dr. Christopher had prolonged her life by a few weeks, and eased her pain. Yet he paid the price, because he was, in the words of the prosecuting attorney, an "unorthodox physician." Ray's defense wasn't sure that they could avoid a prison term. 

The children of the deceased offered Ray's greatest defense. The young son passionately told how Ray's treatments had taken away his mother's pain and allowed her to live much longer than expected. He told how she got out of bed, walked around, and was happy. The judge rapped his gavel, saying, "Case dismissed." Ray always believed that the Lord was in court with him that day. 

Unfortunately, there were many more times that Dr. Christopher felt handcuffs slapped around his wrists, when his family had to post bail to free him from unfair imprisonment. His wife always supported him through arrests, trials, and imprisonments. As he'd leave the house each day to attend the sick, he'd called back over his shoulder, "I'll phone you when I get to jail tonight!" and they'd both smile and wave goodbye. 

Unfortunately, this prediction often proved true. There were so many arrests and trials­although, at his funeral, National Health Federation official Clinton Miller pointed out that Ray never showed bitterness or retaliation, with "no anguish in his face, no concern, no bitterness, just beauty." Eventually legislation was passed aimed specifically against Dr. Christopher, so that he could not practice natural healing anymore. But as distressing as this was, it opened a door to Dr. Christopher. 

When he could no longer treat patients, he began to lecture and teach. At his peak, he lectured in more than 120 cities a year. The halls were filled to capacity; eager students stood in the aisles and lined the walls in an effort to learn from him. In 1979, he began a newsletter, which, together with his books, reached tens of thousands of more people than his Practice could ever have done. 

His work did not stop there, however. Starting from his service at Fort Lewis, continuing in Evanston, and then on through Salt Lake, many of his patients became herbalists. Even the rancher in Woodruff who refused to feed his prize cattle white flour bought a fruit farm, learned reflexology and works as a full-time herbalist. 

Dr. Christopher practiced open-heartedly, without guile, with selfless concern for his patients and later for all his students. He never held back information on his formulas to gain more money; he freely shared any information he thought could help someone else. He took people into their yards and taught them to use the "weeds," when he could have easily bottled them himself for profit. He shared the ingredients of his formulas freely. 

Throughout his life, Dr. Christopher maintained a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to tell the story about a man who was hospitalized' with doctor's orders for an enema. A nurse administered it, and then was called away on an emergency before recording the treatment. Soon a second nurse appeared, and gave him a second enema. But she, too, failed to record the treatment. Then a third nurse did the same. When the man heard a knock on his door, he called out, "Who goes there? Friend or enema?" 

The press was sympathetic to Dr. Christopher's troubles. The San Francisco Recorder published an editorial commenting on Ray's arrests and the accompanying $50,000 bond' saying, "Where hardened criminals, guilty of crimes of violence and threats to society, are given low bail, some members of the legal profession are requesting that an investigation be made to determine what prompted such an excessive bail in this case. Could this be a ploy to take the heat off the doctors in the current malpractice mess by making it unpleasant for acupuncturists, herbal, and natural healers? Just asking!" 

Dr. Christopher continued to teach until the last of his life, when in 1983, he had slipped on the treacherous ice outside his home in Covered Bridge Canyon, Utah, and suffered what became a fatal accident. He was seventy-three years old, and through trials and suffering through his long life, he blazed the path to a way of life we take for granted today, with natural foods, healthy lifestyles, and healing with herbs. This volume remains a landmark in herbal healing, and as you read it, remember the man who sacrificed to make it possible. 

Written by David Christopher - his son and a renown Herbalist in his own right - He carries on the  " The School of Natural Healing"  in Springville, UT  His classes are very down to earth and practical.  He is as knowledgeable about herbs as anyone I have ever heard of.

         Testimonials:
                1.    Skin Cancer: "We have used your Black Ointment with great results--I had skin cancer on my forehead--in six weeks it healed up Beautifully." 
                2.    Skin Cancer: A few years ago, about 2, I wrote to tell you that I used the black ointment for skin cancer and got perfect results. The Hershey Medical Center doctor wanted to refer me to a Skin Cancer Specialist, but I told him I was going to try the home remedy that an Herbalist Doctor recommended. Needless to say, he was persistent, and wanted me to go to the Specialist, but I was also persistent and told him it was my body and I would try the remedy you recommended, first. Praise the Lord-in 6 weeks it was all cleared up and that was over 2 years ago. My husband is presently using the Black Ointment on his nose for Skin Cancer.

Calcium Assimilation Formula  or  Kid-e-calc (Calc Tea) Calcium Formula
     Useful in treating Arthritis, Breast, Broken Bones, Headache, Nerves, Nosebleed, Osteoporosis, Paralysis, Pregnancy, Rheumatism, Teeth, Varicose Veins 
            1.  We need calcium for nerve sheath, vein and artery walls, bone, teeth, etc. This combination is all pure herbs. It is also used for cramps, "Charlie horses" and for all calcium needs in the body. 
            2.  Children with crowded crooked teeth, and later the wisdom teeth are pulled because of not enough room, is caused by a narrow jaw from not  having enough calcium in the body. The mother carrying the baby before birth should increase her natural calcium intake, now for two       people, her and the baby, so it will be built with good wide jaw and tooth material. 
            3.  Sugars, pastries, soft and alcoholic beverages, breads, candies, etc., leach the calcium out of the body, causing varicose veins, cramps, Charlie horses, loss of teeth, nervous upsets, etc. 
            4.  Allergy to milk is quite common, symptoms including asthma, nasal congestion, skin rash and various chest infections plus other, less noticed, symptoms such as irritability and fatigue. Milk also causes allergies, by diminishing hydrochloric acid necessary to digesting protein, causing the undigested protein to enter the bloodstream and promote allergic reactions. The calcium in milk does not metabolize properly, either; Dr. Ellis recommends eating green vegetables, sesame butter and sardines to obtain calcium. 
           5.  Dr. Christopher feels that Calcium is the way to help a teething child get a tooth to come through easily. Fevers work in several ways. One is to raise enough temperature to move the body-building materials from one part of the body to a malfunctioning area. A good example of   this is when a baby is trying to cut teeth. The tooth bud appears, becomes swollen and red, painful and irritating; but there is not enough calcium in the mouth area to help get the tooth through. When there is no surplus calcium available, the fever goes higher and higher, and the infant often goes into convulsions. Time after time we have seen the fever drop quickly as organic calcium has been given to the child. The convulsion stops, and the child falls asleep (from fatigue). In a short  time the tooth or teeth start "popping through." If the parent uses medication to lower or suppress the fever and nothing else is done, he is merely working on the effect, and not going into the cause. In other      words, he is stopping the attempt of a building process without assisting it to accomplish what the body is trying so hard to do. 
         6.  Osteoporosis: "I would advise women to start calcium and Vitamin D supplements at age 30, or perhaps 25," says Dr. Jennifer Jowsey of the Mayo Clinic. With the average American diet, there's apparently a long term gradual loss of bone mineral exceeding the rate of mineral uptake  and bone formation. In later years, when hormonal changes increase the susceptibility to osteoporosis, the skeleton has already lost a good deal of its substance. By then, because of previous loss, the rate of bone formation must not only equal the rate of bone demineralization    (the normal condition) but must exceed it if bone strength is to be restored. It is far more difficult, Dr. Jowsey warns, to induce new, compensatory bone formation that it is simply to slow down bone demineralization. Adequate calcium and Vitamin D in the diet will go far to accomplish the latter. But preliminary finds, the Mayo scientist says, indicate that lost bone will not be automatically restored by such dietary correction. 
         7.  Cortisone Users: How many people who are taking cortisone--all those several million of them--are aware that the drug can cause brittle bones? And how many doctors are going to tell their patients that it is a good idea to get substantially more calcium and Vitamin D into their diets before they begin splintering their bones 
         8.  The Difference Between Organic and Inorganic Calcium. It has been mentioned in this article the difference between organic and inorganic calcium, and other minerals. The inorganic minerals are the ones that can be accepted into the body, but not assimilated. The inorganic        minerals are accumulative, lie in deposits in weakened or injured parts of the body, to later give side effects or after effects. 
              Often times in purchasing calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, etc., we buy minerals of the inorganic type that has not gone through plant life and by osmosis made organic and given life so it can be assimilated. The type that can be assimilated is from herbs, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.  These are non-toxic, non-poisonous and non-habit forming, if chosen by 
one who knows assimilable herbs. We have been using this calcium formula for years to aid our patients and students in regaining a more perfect body structure. 
          9.  A lack of calcium may be signified by headaches and/or leg cramps. 
          10.  Colitis: In this disorder, the lower bowel is inflamed. There is often a connection between colitis and stress. We see diarrhea, pain, cramps, and even in the later stages, bleeding and dehydration. Calcium deficiency is common. Treatment include the mucusless diet , the Lower Bowel Formula, slippery elm and comfrey tea and plenty of distilled water. Combining this with a  nervine supplement will be beneficial. 
     Dosages: 
         1.  Broken Bone: After the doctor has set a bone, drink three or more cups of comfrey tea or Complete Tissue each day--the more the better. With each cup of tea take the calcium [Herbal Calcium] combination. For children old enough to take capsules, use two #00 capsules or more, three times in a day.  As suggested, take these capsules with the comfrey tea. Mix the powder with blackstrap molasses, if it is hard to swallow the capsules. 
        2.  Migraine Headaches: For a really severe migraine headache, apply cold packs to the neck and head while the patient soaks in a very hot tub or whirlpool. Be sure to drink lots of feverfew tea and water, take copious amounts of Herbal Calcium and try to enjoy the bath. 
    Ingredients: Calc-Tea is made of horsetail grass, oat straw, comfrey leaves and lobelia. As explained in the book "Biological Transmutations" the silica in horse tail grass converts to calcium, and the other herbs work in close conjunction with this master calcium herb. 
         Testimonials: 
         1.    Tooth Grows Back: My oldest daughter age 13 now, had a dental cavity at age 7 (the only dental cavity among our six children). We had the cavity drilled out and a filling put in by our local dentist. Two years later, the filling came out and a hole was left in her tooth. Nothing more was done about it except the herbal calcium formula [Herbal Calcium] that you recommend in your book, School of Natural Healing, made up of: comfrey, horsetail, oatstraw, and  lobelia. This combination of herbs has been used very consistently by the entire family over the last two years. We have recently discovered that the hole where the filling was is now completely grown over and is absolutely unnoticeable even under close inspection. 
        2.    Insomnia Cured: I have found great relief by taking Dr. Christopher's calcium formula  (Herbal Calcium) , and thyroid formula (Thyroid Maintenance), through the night which was recommended in his "How Important is Calcium" newsletter. I have recommended this treatment to others and to my mother and they all have found it helps their insomnia also. -A.R., Williston, ND 

Cayenne ,  Cayenne Salve and Cayenne Tincture   -  For use in
  Joints, Muscles, Neck, Headache Formula Nosebleed, Paralysis, Stroke, Ulcer,Varicose Veins 
               1.Heart Attacks: In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot 
water, and within minutes they are up and around). This is one of the fastest acting aids we could ever give for the heart, because it feeds that heart immediately. Most hearts are suffering from malnutrition because of processed food we are eating, but here it gets a good powerful dose of real food and it's something that has brought people in time after time. This is something that everyone should know how great it is, because a heart attack can come to your friends or loved ones any time. And even yourself. The warm tea is faster working than tablets, capsules, cold tea, because the warm tea opens up the cell structure--makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster, and it goes directly to the heart, through the artery system, and feeds it in powerful food. 
        2.  Sterilize and Stop Bleeding: The old herbalists claimed that cayenne pepper (Capsicum or red pepper) should be poured directly into a fresh wound, to sterilize and stop the bleeding. (Usually there is no burning sensation) 
        3.  Menstrual Cramps: If a young woman has menstrual problems, she can suspect that her female organs might not be in good condition. Although it should be needless to say, we should avoid drugs in managing our menstrual cramps. In order to treat the symptoms, some people favor red raspberry tea, peppermint tea, camomile tea, or catnip tea. You can take a capsule of cayenne with any of these to help warm the internal organs. If the cramps are really severe, you can use Cayenne ointment externally on the abdomen to act as a counter-irritant, but be sure to cover the application with gauze, as it can stain your underthings. 
        4.  Eyes and Ulcers: See testimonials. 
        5.  Tincture of Cayenne (extract) heals wounds, cuts through mucus, good for sore throats, and tonsillitis; milder solutions can be used in the nose, eyes, and ears for cleaning up microscopic "lounge lizards" in infections. Has been successfully used for resuscitation of newborn infants; a few drops administered orally. The best and safest stimulant known to man. 
        6.  Cayenne ointment : It is excellent for stiff necks, sore 
                       muscles, headaches, pain, stiff joints, arthritis, etc. 
     Dosages: 
        1.  Stop Bleeding: A wound, external or internal, will stop bleeding if the individual will drink a cup of water (preferably hot) with a teaspoon of cayenne  pepper (red pepper) stirred into it. The bleeding will stop generally by the time a person can count up to ten after drinking the cayenne tea. The cayenne equalizes the blood pressure from the top of the head to the feet. This keeps the pressure from the hemorrhage area so it will clot naturally, which it cannot do with heavy blood pressure pumping the blood rapidly at the hemorrhage area. 
         2.  Nosebleeds: A teaspoon of cayenne  in a cup of water (hot preferred) taken internally will stop most nosebleeds quickly. In an emergency such as it will stop a nosebleed in nearly every instance, by the time you can count to ten. This is not a miracle; it is the principle of the cell stimulant cayenne traveling through the entire blood stream and regulating the pressure so the pressure of the flow is the same in the feet as in the head or any other part of the body. This takes the heavy pressure off the hemorrhaging area and allowing a quick coagulation. 
         3.  Salve: [Cayenne ointment ] As needed topically. 
    Contains: Pure cayenne is the only ingredient in the powdered cayenne. Salve [Cayenne ointment] ingredients are Olive Oil, African Bird pepper (Cayenne), Oil of Wintergreen, pure distilled mint crystals and beeswax. The tincture consists of cayenne and alcohol. 
    Testimonials: 
         1.  Eyes: Cayenne is also used for eyes, however extreme that might sound. Dr. Christopher recalled a student of his standing in front of a lecture and throwing a pinch of cayenne into one eye. Dr. Christopher was sure the student had lost his senses! But in a few moments the eye stopped watering, and it became clear, bright and healthy-looking. [This is why Dr. Christopher  has Cayenne in his Herbal Eyebright formula]. 
         2.  Deep Cut: A person in our audience told how he had cut deeply with a sharp instrument the inside of his hand, fingers and palm. The blood spurted out in streams. He poured a large amount of cayenne pepper into the wound, and within seconds the blood flow slowed down to congealed dripping and the bleeding stopped entirely before many seconds had passed. With a goodly amount of cayenne covering the wound, he then wrapped it. He was so excited about the rapid results he could hardly wait for the regular herb meeting. But, as he said, the "punch line" was lost, because instead of a nasty ragged scar to show how severely he had been hurt, the area was 
healed and there was no scar. 
         3.    Ulcers: A lady had been attending our herbal lecture series for some time. One day she told us about her husband's severe case of stomach ulcers. The recommendation from their doctor was to have part of his stomach removed, but he said he would rather suffer the pain than risk such an operation. He also refused his wife's suggestion to try cayenne, ridiculing her studies. When he would see me in town, he would bellow, "Hello, Doc! Killed anybody with cayenne, today?" He became so obnoxious, I avoided him when I could. Months went by and one day I saw him coming down the street toward me. I tried to avoid him but he came "head on." This time I was 
amazed because there were no cutting remarks or sarcasm. In fact, he was very apologetic and asked if he could talk to me for a minute, and then told me this story: He had come home from work one night, "sick enough to die," with stomach ulcers. His wife was not home. He was in such pain he wanted to commit suicide. He went to the medicine cabinet to find some kind of  medicine poisonous and deadly enough to kill him. But he discovered his wife had thrown out all the old bottles of pharmaceutical medicine. All that was left in the medicine cabinet were some herbs and a large container of cayenne pepper. He was so angry that, upon seeing the cayenne, he figured it in a large dose would kill him by burning him up. He took a heaping tablespoon of cayenne in a glass of hot water, gulped it down and rushed into the bedroom.  He fell upon the bed and covered his head with a pillow so the neighbors couldn't hear his "dying screams." The next thing he knew, his wife was shaking him awake the next morning. She told him he had slept all night  (instead of being up every half-hour for anti-acid tablets). To his amazement he discovered that the pain was gone, for the first time in months. He continued using cayenne three times a day faithfully. 
       4.    Blood Pressure - Dr. Christopher's Own Story: I had hardening of the  arteries, during my 20 and 30 year span, to a point that it was very severe. No insurance company at this time, would even take me for a $1,000 policy. So you can tell how bad of a condition I was in. I was quite concerned about it, and started using cayenne. I worked up to a teaspoon three times a day, and I 
continued on from the time I was thirty-five and am still using it. It was amazing! By the time I was forty-five years of age, ten years after I had started using cayenne, a group wanted me to have a $100,000 policy to insure them on a business deal we were working out. I went for the examination. Being this large a policy, the insurance company required two medical doctors, each to give two physicals at various times (being four times to have physicals with these two doctors). I took the examination and one medical doctor when he got through, said, "Well, this is astounding. I see your age is forty-five years, but you have the venous structure of a teenage boy." He said, "This is excellent," and he gave me a clean bill of health. I went to the other doctor and on his second examination he did the blood pressure test on my arm. He pumped his equipment up five different times and my arm was getting irritated by it, and I was getting a little perturbed, and I said, "What's the matter, doesn't your equipment work?" "Oh yes, it always has up till now, but I keep looking at your chart and it says you are 45 years of age and yet your systolic over your diastolic is absolutely perfect. I cannot comprehend it." I said, "That's correct. It is perfect." And he also gave me a clean bill of health. So I passed at 45 years of age for a $100,000 policy with a good blood pressure   showing, thanks to the cayenne . 
    I have been told by medical doctors, that because of my arthritis, hardening of arteries, stomach ulcers and some auto accidents that banged me up pretty badly, that I couldn't live past my 40th year. Yet, at 45 years I was pronounced in good condition. This, to me, was one of my biggest sales points on cayenne. If it could help me, it could help anybody. I have seen it used so many times over the years with such success, that I feel that it is one of our great herbs.

False Unicorn & Lobelia    -    Anti-Miscarriage Formula
We offer you a formula here for those who have indication of aborting.  This combination should always be on hand because this emergency can appear so quickly that it is shocking and frightening.  This combination of false unicorn and lobelia will stop the bleeding as explained in the instructions--if the fetus is in a good healthy condition. If the fetus is dead, in many cases, the dead fetus is aborted with ease. Without  this help, the fetus, when dead, will rarely abort, lying in the womb and causing infection. 
        False Unicorn & Lobelia , which helps nourish the reproductive system supplying hormone building nutrients that can help to sustain pregnancy. 
        Unless otherwise specified, teas are always made with one teaspoon of herbs to a cup of distilled water if obtainable. If hemorrhaging starts during pregnancy, stay in bed, use a bed pan when needed, and use 1/2 cup of this tea each 1/2 hour until bleeding stops, then each waking hour 
for one day, while in bed as much as possible, and then three times in a day for three weeks. If bleeding continues instead of decreasing, see a doctor. 
        Contains:  The anti-miscarriage formula consists of these two herbs: false unicorn and lobelia . 
        Testimonials: 
                  1.    Couple Able to Conceive: Dr. Christopher had many successes helping couples conceive. One young married man came to see him about his wife, because he felt she was going to lose her mind. She wanted to have a baby so badly that she would hug her pillow at night. They had been married for some years without any success at conception. Dr. Christopher advised them to do the following: they should both begin to use the mucusless diet . In addition, they were to take two tablespoons of wheat-germ oil  three times a day (this contains natural vitamin E, among other constituents, which helps the reproductive system). They were to take two capsules three times daily of  false unicorn and lobelia combination. If they were faithful with this program, the Doctor promised that they would conceive.  And they did! They brought the little baby in to see Dr. Christopher, and the new mother was absolutely glowing with health and joy at the baby in her    arms. This couple had other children as well after following the simple herbal program. 
        2.    Dead Fetus Evacuated Naturally and Easily: Lobelia is also an important herb in the anti-miscarriage formula. It will do such wonders as seal up a tear in the bag of waters in an instance of a threatened miscarriage. It will also help to expel, without complication, a fetus that is already dead. One lady who was about five and one half months along in her pregnancy began to show signs of bleeding, as if a miscarriage was about to occur. Some women who were assisting her gave her one-half cup of the tea every half hour, while the pregnant woman remained in bed. The women noticed that the bleeding had not subsided after several hours, so they packed her off to the hospital. No sooner had she arrived in the emergency room and was about to be examined 
by the doctor, when she expelled a fetus that had been dead for several weeks, unbeknownst to her. The doctor was amazed, and questioned the attendants about the events leading to this spontaneous abortion. The women told him about the false unicorn and lobelia. The doctor commented, "Never in all my years of practice have I seen a dead fetus evacuated from the womb in such a clean manner. Usually we have to surgically remove particles of the placenta which adhere to the uterine walls. The herbs you have used are miraculous. I wish I could use them in my practice--but my hands are tied". 
         3.    Unaborted Baby Later Thanks Dr. Christopher: Dr. Christopher was lecturing in a large city when a young man came up to the podium to shake his hand; he nearly shook the Doctor's hand off! He said he had been trying to catch up with the Doctor for a long while. His mother had told him that one night, when the weather was fifty below zero, the Doctor had traveled forty       miles to their home. The mother was aborting, ready to lose her baby. The Doctor had given her some herbs and saved the baby--and the young man was that baby! He was about twenty-five years old. He said, "I enjoy life. I love you, sir, and I had to thank you". 

Chest Comfort (Herbal Comp.)
         1.Fevers, flu, hoarseness, sluggish circulation, colic, cramps, colds, etc. 
         2.As Dr. Nowell, our instructor at the Dominion Herbal College, Let. of Vancouver, British Columbia gave in our textbook, quote: 
               "We have made and used composition powder for over forty years.  When we state we regularly mixed it in batches of sixty pounds the  student will readily see that we have had at least some experience with it. As a remedy in colds, beginning of fevers, flu, hoarseness, sluggish     circulation, colic, cramps, etc. We believe it has done more good than any other single preparation ever known to man. If this compound were kept in every home, and used as the occasion arose, there would be far less sickness. Give it freely in your practice and your patient will bless you. Look over the ingredients, and consider how it will clear canker, ease cramps and pains in the stomach and bowels, raise the heat of the body equalizing the circulation, and remove congestions. It is safe.  It is effective. We have on numberless occasions given a cup of composition tea every hour as warm as the patient could drink it, until the patient has perspired freely, and after four or five doses have seen our patient in a free perspiration, thereby removing colds and febrile trouble." 
           3.  Composition Powder is safe for anyone, children and adults alike; its especial value is for breaking up colds, flu, etc. Brigham Young, the great Mormon prophet and colonist, used composition tea regularly, and recommended it to be used, weak, for children coming down sick, 
with a little cream and sugar added, instead of loading the child's stomach with heavy foods. 
         Dosages: 
            1.After-Pains (childbirth); Uterine Hemorrhage, Miscarriage, Preventive: 
                      Drink the raspberry leaf tea with a little Composition Powder in it. 
            2.Where there has been a recent cold which has resulted in congestion, 
                       a relaxing diaphoretic may be all that is required, and often only a few doses of 
                      composition powder are needed to remove a cold and the resultant congestion. 
        Contains:  Bayberry root  powder, ginger , white pine bark , cloves powder , cayenne powder
         Good for: Colds,  Catarrh, Coryza, Influenza [Flu], Colic,  Colds, Laryngitis.

Glandular System (Mullein & Lobelia)    -   Malfunctioning Glands
This can be used as an aid to relieve mastitis, thyroid malfunction, etc., etc. 
Mullein and lobelia will reduce the swelling of mumps and the swollen palate, Dr. Christopher taught. It is also an excellent remedy for poison ivy or poison oak, etc. 
         1.  Tonsillitis: The tonsils are the tail end of the lymphatic system. They swell up with pus and infection when the body is overloaded with toxic material. When the system is overloaded with waste that an inactive lymphatic system cannot eliminate, the tonsils become enlarged and sore. They are a safety valve of the body - a warning system, if you wish. They should never be removed from the body. The lymphatic system can be cleared through exercise. The lymph system has no 
pump such as the bloodstream has the heart. Exercise can activate the lymph system to carry waste products from the cells. The glandular formula of 3 parts mullein and one part lobelia can be taken internally as a tea or capsules and externally as a fomentation around the neck covering the affected glands. Of course the tonsils will diminish in size and infectious content with adherence to the correct principles of nutrition contained in the mucusless diet . 
           2.  Any Swollen Gland: Through the accumulation of toxic waste in the body from improper diet, poor blood stream and sluggish circulation of the blood system the glands become congested and infected, and swell up to cause much pain and misery. (There are glands that swell on the neck, breast, groin, under arm pits, etc.) Make a tea of three parts mullein and one part lobelia herb (Mullein & Lobelia - Glandular System) and use as a fomentation over swollen or malfunctioning glands. Leave on all night (covering fomentation with plastic), six days a week until relief is obtained. Use a fresh fomentation as warm as possible each night. This can be used as an aid to relieve mastitis, thyroid malfunction, etc.  In addition to the external fomentation, also drink a cup of this tea two or three times in a day or take two of the capsules or tablets with a cup of steam-distilled water. 
          3.  Malfunctioning Thyroid: "The thyroid, through the hormone thyroxine determines growth, controls body temperature, regulates the metabolism or the burning of food in the body and influences, to a great extent, mental and emotional balance. Also, it is of special importance for the proper functioning of the reproductive system. The inter-relationship between reproductive functions and thyroid functions is very complex and not entirely understood, but it is known that 
various changes, especially in girls and women, are apt to cause changes in thyroid functions. For instance, a slight enlargement of the thyroid gland is common at puberty, during pregnancy and menopause.   "When the thyroid gland is functioning properly, we are hardly aware of its existence. It stores practically all of the body's supply of iodine, releases thyroxine into the blood stream at intervals and regulates all the bodily functions we have mentioned above. Disorders of the thyroid 
gland are apparently caused by two conditions: 
            (1).  Lack of sufficient iodine in the diet, so that the thyroid cannot obtain enough to manufacture thyroxine, or (2) some disorder of the body which creates a demand for more thyroxine than the gland can manufacture." 
        Our recommendations to aid the thyroid are in two parts. First we need to strengthen the deficiency of the gland by using Dr. Christopher's glandular formula [  ] as a fomentation around the throat at the thyroid area. This formula is made up of mullein and lobelia in a combination that is beneficial in aiding and strengthening the glands of the body, in this case, the thyroid gland. It would also help to use two capsules of our gland formula [Glandular Formula] three or more times a day. 
        Second, take Dr. Christopher's thyroid combination (Thyroid Maintenance) as an herbal  food aid to this gland. It consists of the following herbs - parsley, watercress, kelp, Irish moss, romaine lettuce, turnip tops and Iceland moss. This herbal group assists in controlling metabolism and gives          herbal feeding to the thyroid glands to do their job more efficiently. These two aids will assist the thyroid to function properly whether it be underactive or overactive. 
           4.  Undescended Testicle: Oftentimes, through some factor of heredity, one of the testicles will not descend in the fetus and the child is then born with an undescended testicle. If, during early childhood the testicle does not descend of its own accord, the child is sometimes made to undergo painful and unnecessary surgery to bring it down. We know of one case where the testicle was operated upon and then never developed later in life. That is, it atrophied, and remained almost 
 imperceptible upon examination.  Here is where we would use the wonderful Glandular Formula  [ Mullein & Lobelia ] of three parts mullein and one part lobelia. We apply this as a fomentation, that is, we make a tea of the herbs (one ounce to the pint) and concentrate it down to one half its original volume. A flannel or cotton cloth is dipped into the solution and put on the area, perhaps 
keeping the area warm with Turkish towels. The tea or capsules can be used internally as well. 
        Contains:  Three parts mullein and one part lobelia herb. 
            Testimonials: 
                  1.    Crushed Scrotum: He told the story of a boy and his friend playing by a two-wheeled trailer, the tongue of which was balanced on a log. The little fellow was sitting cross-legged by the trailer; the tongue dropped from the log and hit him between the legs, mashing the testicles and splitting the scrotum open. When his parents rushed out to see what all the screaming was, he was in a really serious condition. They called their family doctor, who said, 
"Bring him right up here and I'll castrate him". That wasn't what the father wanted, though, so he called Dr. Christopher, who rushed over. Since the testicles are glands and Mullein is the basis for the glandular herbal aids, Dr.Christopher told him to make a strong tea of Mullein and Lobelia, making a fomentation and applying it to the crushed scrotum, removing the old and providing a fresh fomentation when needed, always keeping it wet. The scrotum as well as the testicles were healed with no scar. The boy grew up normal. Dr. Christopher mentioned that this fomentation, together with drinking the tea, has been used for enlarged swollen testicles and also for those that 
have dropped down into the scrotum. 
            2.    Mastitis: A woman in Roy, Utah, had mastitis; she was a nursing mother.  Her breast was double its regular size, with red streaks. Anyone experiencing mastitis knows that it is terribly painful, and accompanying symptoms  resemble flu. A mastitis fever is really uncomfortable. Her baby had nursed from the other side, but the mother couldn't let it get near the inflamed breast, 
which sometimes can relieve the pain and swelling if possible. The baby was crying from hunger; the mother was crying from pain; what misery for the two of them! The Doctor made a fomentation of three parts of Mullein and one part of lobelia . (Mullein/Lobelia new name glandular formula )  Plastic was put over the fomentation, and the mother was told to drink half a cup of the tea each half hour until time to sleep, then a half cup each hour the next day if needed, which the Doctor did not think would be necessary.  The next morning she called Dr. Christopher, happy to tell him that the swelling was all gone, as well as the soreness and flu symptoms, and the baby was nursing happily again on that side. 
         3.    Swollen Glands Behind Ears and on Backs of Necks: You may recall the story of the two children with swollen glands behind their ears and on the backs of their necks. If you have ever seen these on your children, you will know how distressing they are. Most doctors will tell you that the child cannot eliminate wastes fast enough, so that the lymphatic system stores them until the body can eliminate them. They say that the swollen glands will do no harm, yet we have seen the child debilitated and sickly because of this condition. Dr. Christopher recommended the same Mullein-Lobelia fomentation. 
                 The stronger child, a robust boy of ten, experienced the reduction of the gland and the absorption and elimination of the poisons through his system.  The weaker child, also ten years old, couldn't support that many toxins going through his system; his gland continued to swell, though with no pain, until it came to a head and broke open. Nearly a cup of infectious pus poured out and 
continued to drain a day or so longer; the mother considered that this saved the child's life. 
        Useful in treating:  Breast, Cysts, Glands, Mumps, Quinsy, Throat, Tonsillitis, Tumor. 

Pancreas Formula   (Panc Tea)   - Aid for the Pancreas
Pancreas and other glands: Aid for pancreas and other affiliated glands that through malfunction cause high or low blood sugar (namely diabetes or hypoglycemia). 
        Many reports came in about heavy insulin users who continue using the insulin but by watching litmus paper or other types of diabetic checking have gradually tapered down on the insulin; and many, within a year of using two to three or more three times a day, six days a week of the pancreas formula tablets or capsules, have found complete relief. Of course, the closer a person  stays on the mucusless diet and eliminates from the diet the unnatural sugars, soft drinks, candies, pastries, bread, etc., the quicker the results. 
          Almost everyone suffers from some sort of pancreatic disorder. Eating processed foods is one of the main causes of degeneration of the pancreas. In addition to producing insulin, the pancreas also produces its own natural bicarbonate of soda which is sent into the digestive tract to neutralize excess acids. Both "hypo" and "hyper" glycemia stem from the breakdown of the    pancreas. This overactive or underactive pancreas affects the amount of bicarbonate of soda the pancreas produces. When there is not enough, the digestive tract can become overacid, thus leading to ulcerations. Dr. Christopher suggested his Pancreas formula which included 
cedar berries to correct this disorder. other herbs in the formula are goldenseal, uva ursi, cayenne, mullein, and licorice root. 
             This combination has assisted many that have had hypoglycemia after six months or more of using two to three capsules or tablets three times in a day six days a week. (All herbal aids give faster results in six days a week instead of seven, using the same day of the week of each week.) They have had a glucose tolerance test with a clean bill of health on the pancreas area. 
        Contains: Cedar berries, golden seal, uva ursi, cayenne, licorice root, mullein 
         Testimonials: 
                  1.    Pancreas formula helps with energy. During a trip to San Francisco, a black minister came up to Dr. Christopher and just hugged him, thanking him for the Pancreas formula. He said he could preach with more enthusiasm than ever before, and had much more energy and ability to work. 
                 2.    Brother and Sister Cured. Dr. Christopher emphasized that both diabetes and hypoglycemia stem from the same problem--a weak pancreas. One time, he was visited by a brother and sister, both in their middle years, each with pancreas problems that they had inherited as part of their family physical structure. The man had hypoglycemia, and the woman had diabetes. 
The man's hypoglycemia was so severe that the family planned to have him institutionalized. He would go into raving fits if he got hungry--the family thought they could not live with him anymore. The lady, on the other hand, was using more than ninety units of insulin a day, which she had done for years. Dr. Christopher taught them about the three-day cleanse and the mucusless diet and gave them the Pancreas formula.   Within six months, the man took a glucose tolerance test and received a clean bill of health. The lady, in less than a year, was using no insulin at all.   The same formula and the same program healed the pancreas in both cases.  When the pancreas is healed in this manner, it can last you for life. 
         3.    How Dr. Cristopher Discovered a Formula for the Pancreas. One day a man visited him with a kidney problem; he couldn't void his urine. Dr. Christopher told him to use juniper berries to quickly clear up the case. The man was happy about that--he had juniper berries in his own back yard, and so he went home to gather some for his kidney problem.  A few weeks later, the man came back and said, "Your juniper berries didn't do anything for me; they didn't help at all!" Dr. Christopher said that it was impossible, that juniper berries always work to clear up kidney problems. "Well, I've got some in my pocket; here they are."  "That's not a true juniper berry," said Dr. Christopher. "That's a monostone Cedar berry , from a Cedar tree, such as we commonly have in this area. The juniper berry has three stones and even seven stones, but the Cedar berry is a      mono-stone; it's a cherry-stone type. Let me get you some juniper berries."   He brought the man some, and showed him that it was a true juniper berry; the Cedar berry is in the same family, but it's just a "kissing cousin."   "Fine," said the man, "I'll go home and take some, but I'm going to keep 
using the Cedar berries, too."    "Why bother, if they aren't going to do you any good?" asked Dr. 
Christopher.  "It's an amazing thing," said the man, "but since I've been using them, I don't have to take as much insulin."  Dr. Christopher asked further into the effects of the berries. He asked the 
 man to take six berries three times a day and to report his results.   After a few months, the man didn't have to use any insulin at all. From being a typical diabetic, dependent on insulin to monitor his blood sugar, he had to use no insulin at all. 
        Can be used for:  Adrenals, Diabetes, Glands, Hypoglycemia, Osteoporosis 

Liver Transition & D-Tox. is for use before MindTrac.  Liver Transition & D-Tox  is for the transition process of detoxification. Once the transition is complete, MindTrac is an alternative to drugs for emotional clarity. Usually, the detoxification process lasts one or two months, but each individual is different. 
     The focus of Liver Transition & D-Tox. is to help the body eliminate toxins by supporting the efforts of detoxification. These toxins are accumulated not only from using prescription and/or recreational drugs, but also from the risk of living in a polluted environment. 
    Cleanses - The blood is our source of life, but it is also the root cause of all disease.  Since the liver is the organ most responsible for cleaning the blood, Liver Transition & D-Tox. uses four herbs that act as tonics for the liver. Oregon Grape Root and Milk Thistle stimulate the liver in its effort to detoxify. Wild Yam Root supports both the liver and kidneys. Finally, Rosemary works as both liver cleanser and nervous calmative. 
     Nourishes - Our life blood is our soil. It is our terrain. It is NOT our philosophy to eat inorganic multi-vitamins and minerals of "rocks". It is better to build a body with plants that grow from the rocks. For this reason, this formula  includes Jurassic Green, flash-dried and organically grown Alfalfa, Barley, and Kamut. This nutrient dense supplement nourishes our body with trace minerals, essential B vitamins, life-giving enzymes, and oxygen from the plant's equivalent to human blood - chlorophyll. 
    Stimulates - To help sustain the body through a potentially tiring detoxification process, PreTrac includes two stimulating herbs, Korean Ginseng and Ginkgo Extract. Both of these activating ingredients promote increased circulation of blood and energy to the head and the body. 
    Calms - PreTrac provides two calmative herbs, Rosemary and Scullcap. Both herbs act as sedatives and antispasmodics to relieve restlessness, anxiety, and nervousness - symptoms which commonly   occur during drug withdrawal. 
     There are serious consequences to using or discontinuing prescription drugs. Withdrawal from    psychiatric drugs should be done slowly and only with professional guidance.
      PreTrac Ingredients:  Korean Ginseng, Rosemary Leaves, Ginkgo Extract, Oregon Grape Root, Milk Thistle Extract, Wild Yam Root, Scullcap, Jurassic Green.

Migraines, head aches, Pain.  Contains - White willow, fever few, cloves,valerian, wild lettuce, hops, wood betony, lobelia.    

Vaginal Bolus    (VB)    -        Herbal Bolus
Here is another excellent aid for the woman (or rectal bolus for the man) 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 material to survive on or live in, because they are all scavengers. Herbalists have found that they will release and will be dispersed. 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. 
      These herbs are all in powder form. Cocoa 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 about inch-long pieces. Harden in a refrigerator. Then these are to be inserted into the vagina much the same as suppositories would be. It will be necessary to wear a sanitary napkin in order to hold the bolus up in the vagina (or rectum). Insert upon retiring and leave in all night, six nights a week. The cocoa butter melts at body temperature, leaving only the herbs, and these are easy to douche out. The following morning use the Yellow Dock Combination.
       Contains:  Squaw vine herbs, slippery elm bark, yellow dock root, comfrey root, marshmallow root, chickweed herb, golden seal root, mullein leaves. 
    Testimonials: 
          1.    Cervical Cancer: A young Englishwoman named Claire suffered from multiple sclerosis so severely that she was confined to a wheelchair. She began to use the mucusless diet, and was miraculously healed and able to walk and work vigorously. Five women, each suffering from cervical cancer, diagnosed by doctors, came to Claire asking for help. Using nutrition and the Vaginal bolus therapy, four of the cases were completely cleared and one was in remission. 
          2. Spider Cancer: Sometimes it takes time and patience for these herbal aids to truly work. For example, a lady who had come to Dr. Christopher began the full routine as described above. A number of months later she began to think, "Look, I have been on that program for months now; I have taken the herbs orally; I've used the Vaginal bolus, including the yellow dock combination, and I am getting sick of this!" She felt somewhat better but didn't notice much change, so she was going to quit that day. That very morning she made the decision, as she was at home, sitting on the toilet.  When she got up, she happened to turn around and glance into the bowl, and there was something about the size of a half dollar, with legs on it, swimming around in the water. This something had dropped out of her! She screamed, and her husband came in. They put it in a bottle and took it right over to the family doctor. He examined it under the microscope, and said he had never seen one of these whole like this, because they have to cut them out of a  person. This was a spider cancer. They never give up and leave by themselves; usually they must be cut out. The doctor was amazed that it had come out of her. It had done so because her body was now so healthy that the spider cancer didn't have any waste materials to work on. When she saw that cancer, she vowed to continue the program, even if it took six months or years. Dr. Christopher reminded us that some people heal quickly, but sometimes it takes a long time. If we know we are on the right track, we should just continue. 
         3.    Young Woman Able to Get  Married: Dr. Christopher told story after story about sick women he helped with simple remedies, simple treatments. For example, a man and his wife brought their daughter to Dr. Christopher's office in Salt Lake. This young lady was the sickest, saddest-looking person he had seen in a long while. She had met a young man who came to love her very much, and he wanted to marry her. But she refused, saying it wasn't fair to him, being in her condition, so anemic and sickly. He told her that he loved her enough to marry her and take care of her under any circumstances.   She was in a very serious condition, so they put her on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet. She took extra cups of  Bloodstream_formula, and drank a minimum of one pint of grape juice a day, chewing each mouthful. When she could, she took even more. She also ate plenty of raisins and grapes in addition to the juice. She used the yellow dock as a tea, and soon she began to show improvement. She exercised adequately, being careful not to overdo it, and changed her diet from mucus-forming food to the mucusless diet, having lots of salads and fruits, emphasizing as much raw as possible. She used the female corrective [Female Reproductive formula] and hormone-estrogen formulas [ Hormonal Changease ], and she also used the Vaginal bolus and yellow-dock combination in the slant board routine. She showed improvement from the very beginning.   The parents had brought her to Dr. Christopher in the spring, and by fall they sent him an invitation to her wedding, because she had cleaned up her system and was very happy to get married. She was menstruating regularly and had gotten over her case of anemia. She was living a new life, healing it herself by following through on Dr. Christopher's instructions.

TheYellow Dock Combination following the rectal bolus [Vaginal bolus ] at night will also, along with the prostate combination [Male Urinary Tract ], proper mucusless diet and reproductive organ rebuilding will be an asset to the future family and another aid in preventing childhood diseases. 
           4.  Fibroid Tumors: A question to Dr. Christopher in his newsletter. Is there a natural way to eliminate fibroid tumors?  Yes, there is. A tumor is a swelling, an abnormal formation of  parasitic, non-inflammatory cells or tissue arising from the cells of the host, yet progressive and independent in their growth. Tumors can be malignant or non-malignant. They can be fast growing or slow growing 
and they can develop in many parts of the body such as the lymphatic glands or nodes, the urinary and genital areas or the abdominal structure. The cause of the tumors in an inability to eliminate unhealthy materials and this generally stems from a lack of organic potassium in the diet. 
         Begin by observing the procedure in the Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet , keep the bowels free with the lower bowel tonic [Lower bowel formula ] and use the following procedure: drink one to three cups of potassium broth each day. Make the broth with potato peelings at least one half inch thick, comfrey leaves, celery leaves, cut-up celery stalks, a few carrot tops from the garden, not wild, beet greens, spinach greens, chopped onions and garlic and several whole, black peppercorns as a stimulant and digestant. Cover the mixture well with distilled water and slowly simmer. If  possible, keep the temperature around 130 degrees for six to ten hours. Do not boil. After simmering, strain the preparation. Use this broth between meals as you might a tasty tea being sure to chew it well.  Besides using this broth we also suggest one cup or more per day of elderberry tea. If elder blossoms are being used for the tea in place of the berry add about a fourth part of peppermint leaves to avoid nausea. 
         Over the tumorous area use the comfrey combination also known as  the bone, flesh and cartilage combination (Complete Tissue formula ). ...If the tumors are in the reproductive organs see the herbal combinations ...[Female Reproductive formula, Male Urinary Tract and Hormonal Changease ]. Also, be aware of the rectal and vaginal bolus [Vaginal bolus ] and the yellow dock combination tea also. Whenever possible use the castor oil fomentation which you will find in the cleanse program as well. 
        5.  With severe gynecological problems involving infection, cysts, tumors, the herpes simplex, prolapsed transverse colon, tipped uterus, swollen glands under arms and on breast, yeast infection, etc., the vaginal and rectal bolus [Vaginal bolus ] may be employed. We suggest using theYellow Dock Combination. 
       6.  Pregnancy Anemia: Anemia may be caused by iron deficiency or other problems. Iron supplements are commonly given to expectant mothers, yet these are usually made of ferrous sulphate and cannot be utilized by the body. Being inorganic, they are absorbed but not assimilated 
and can cause problems in the system. In addition, they destroy vitamin E that may be taken at the same time. You can build up the iron in your system by taking yellow dock or the Yellow Dock Combination
             Dosages: Make a concentrated tea (simmer finished tea down to half its amount) ... 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 [Vaginal 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 ... 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. 
            Contains:  White oak bark, comfrey leaves, yellow dock root, mullein herb, walnut leaves, marshmallow root, lobelia. 
             Testimonials: 
                  1.    Spider Cancer:      
                  2.    Young Woman is Able to Marry: Dr. Christopher told story after story 
                  about sick women he helped with simple remedies, simple treatments.....etc. 
                  3.    Woman with Multiple Problems Healed: Dr. Christopher always checked his patients with iridology before advising them. A lady came to him, aged about 45, asking for a reading to help with her condition. He saw that she had a prolapsed transverse colon which had dropped to a point where it tipped her uterus and pinched her bladder, and she was having a very serious trouble there. She had problems with the ovaries, with infection in both of them, and she was troubled with vaginal drainage. In addition, she had one breast that was badly infected, which might necessitate having part of the breast removed if she had asked another doctor for treatment. After the reading, Dr.Christopher asked why she had come to him and what she wanted him to do. 
 She said that she had just spent three days in a clinic, where they had verified everything he had read from her irises, but they wanted her to go to the hospital immediately and have the uterus removed and the bladder stitched up to the spinal cord area, and also have her breast removed. She was frightened of all this cutting, so she wanted to find help in some other way.  She promised that she would stay on the program that Dr. Christopher advised. She took the female corrective [Female Reproductive formula ] and hormone-balancing combinations [Hormonal Changease ], used the Vaginal bolus six nights a week, flushing out each morning with the slant board routine  [Herbal Iron], massaging 15 to 20 minutes a day on the abdominal and pelvic area while the tea was inside. She was also to use the three-oil massage over the abdominal area, and go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet. In addition, she was to drink a gallon of steam-distilled water a day, and plenty of  red raspberry leaf tea. She kept her bowels clean with theLower bowel formula, and kept the bloodstream cleaned up with the Bloodstream Formula tea.  Dr. Christopher did not see her again for six months. When she came to see him this time, she bounced in, not dragging as she had before, a totally different woman, much happier and healthier. She had no operations, and yet her prolapsed transverse colon had gone back into place, and her uterus and bladder had gone back into position. She was feeling like a new woman, and  she did indeed have a new system by following through with the entire herbal remedy

THE  THREE-DAY CLEANSE
      This cleansing program will purify the body so it may be healed.  If you are overweight, this program will take you down to your normal body weight, and if you are underweight, it will bring you up to normal.  The purpose of the entire program is to eliminate mucus from the body so that the patient is healed in a natural way. 
      Remember, there are no incurable diseases--only people who think they are incurable. 
 After cleansing the body with this program, continue with the mucusless diet and other health-preserving procedures outlined in this booklet.  In this way, you will not only help rid the body of disease-causing impurities but also maintain and build vibrant good health. 
          The Detoxification Procedure 
      The detoxification procedure we recommend is taken in part from Dr. N.W. Walker's book, Raw Vegetable Juices: to Detoxicate (Phoenix, Arizona: Norwalk Press, Publishers, n.d., pp.  68-71) (P.O. Box 13206). 
      Supreme cleanliness is the first step towards a healthy body.  Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind will retard our progress towards recovery. 
      The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.  Perspiration is the action of the sweat glands in throwing off toxins which would be injurious if retained in the body.  The kidneys excrete the end products of food and body metabolism from the liver.  The bowels eliminate not only the food waste but also waste matter known as body waste, in the form of used-up cells and tissues, the result of our physical and mental activities, which if not eliminated cause protein putrefaction resulting in toxemia or acidosis.  The retention of such body waste has a much more insidious effect on our health than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress toward health.  The cleansing procedure will effect such elimination quickly, particularly for adults. 
          Juices 
 First thing in the morning we drink sixteen ounces of prune juice.  The purpose of this prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which, however, it will do anyway, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels. 
 If nothing were done to replace in the body something in volume equal to the quantity of matter so eliminated, then the body would naturally be dehydrated to that extent.  Therefore, we replace the toxic or acid material so removed by drinking fruit juices.  This has an alkaline reaction on the system.  There are various types of juice therapy--apple, carrot, grape, citrus, tomato, etc.--but use only the one chosen for the three days, and chew each mouthful thoroughly. 
 One of the most effective blood purifiers known is the common apple.  Dr. Edward E.  Shook states in his Advanced Course, Lesson number 30, page 4: 
 "There is no other remedial agent or herb in the whole range of known therapeutic agents, that can compare with the apple tree and, although it would be difficult to say which of its many virtues is the greatest, we suggest that its abundance of nascent oxygen compound is probably the main reason why it is such a precious food, blood purifier, and unfailing remedy for so many forms of diseases." 
 Other juices, of course, may be used, depending on the individual's preference and condition.  Those who live in the citrus belt may use a combination, prepared fresh in the following proportions: four to six grapefruit, according to size; two to three lemons, according to size; and enough oranges to complete a total mixture of two quarts. 
     The combination may be varied, as you may prefer.  Grape juice may also be used; however, frozen grape juice is not recommended because many unacceptable additives are combined in nearly all cases. 
      The brands of juices sold in the health stores grown on unsprayed and organic soils, are definitely superior to other types that are sold in grocery stores; nevertheless, for many years we have seen many tremendous cures done with brands such as Church, Tea Garden, Queen Isabella, and Welch.  They still have great potency, but are not preferred when better juice is available. 
 After taking the sixteen ounces of prune juice first thing in the morning, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass (regular tumbler) of apple juice.  Swish each mouthful thoroughly in the mouth (called chewing) so the saliva will mix with it, thereby getting all the nutritional and healing value from it.  In fact, all meals should be eaten without liquids so the food is chewed thoroughly enough to become a liquid by being mixed thoroughly with saliva, which is the key that opens the door to digestion. 
      We repeat, do not gulp the juice.  In this way, there will be no danger of regurgitation to a weak stomach, but it will be very soothing and affable.  By using the saliva properly, the healing program is greatly accelerated, for the rest of the digestive juices then are able to function properly instead of haphazardly.  When desired, drink a glass of plain water (preferably a glass of distilled water), followed another half hour later with more apple juice.  One gallon of apple juice is consumed throughout one day.  This, of course, is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.  The alternating procedure, however, has proven to be the best way, with any juice you may choose for the therapy. 
 Do not eat anything all day, although if you become  very  hungry  towards evening, you may take an apple or two with the apple juice, and carrots or celery with the carrot juice, or other suitable vegetables or fruits with the respective juice. 
          Other Aids 
      During the three-day cleanse , take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc. 
      Breaking up the mucus during juice cleanse generally causes constipation throughout these three days; use more prune juice, or take some of our Lower Bowel, two or more capsules three times or more a day. 
      Begin the castor oil fomentation (explained later) during this three-day juice cleanse. 
 Continue this detoxification for three consecutive days.  Approximately three gallons of toxic lymph will have been eliminated from the body and will have been replaced by three gallons of juices.  This will result in speeding up the realkalinizing of the system.  If there is a jaundice condition or pain in the liver-gall bladder area, also use three times a day formula number 3 (on page 178). 
          After the Three-Day Cleanse
     Preparatory Fast: After the first three days of cleansing, if a person has the desire or ability to do so, it is always profitable to fast one to three days using only distilled water, then a day of juice, before returning to salads and other regular foods.  Do not eat any heavy foods immediately after a cleansing period or after a fast, but add these to your diet gradually.  This is the best and smoothest way to get back onto solid foods. 
      On subsequent days, begin taking vegetable juices and vegetables and fruit, preferably all raw.  For breakfast, for example, eat fruit in season, sliced, chopped or grated, some  honey for sweetening, and one or two tablespoonfuls of finely grated unsalted almonds sprinkled over.  Also drink one or two glasses of fresh fruit or vegetable juices thirty minutes before or after eating fruit.  For lunch, eat more fruit and one pint fresh raw vegetable juices.  For dinner add any one of the salads given in the menus in Diet and Salad Suggestions (by N. W. Walker, published by Norwalk Press). 
       If there is the slightest tendency toward appendicitis, also take high enemas, two, three or more daily for one week or longer if necessary. 
      Cleansing Symptoms: As the cleansing begins the housecleaning process throughout the entire system, it will be accompanied by periodic aches and pains in the areas where the cleaning action is most acute and the wastage is loading the elimination system.  There are times when you will feel very rough!   Do not panic on your days after cleansing or during your periods of healing.  In fact, the cleaning action may produce all the symptoms and effects of severe illness, but the patient should here act with knowledge and not blame the temporary problem condition onto the cleansing solution that is taking place--for patience is required here, and much comfort should be derived in the realization that the healing process is well under way, and the sooner such discomforts come and are felt, the better. 
      This elimination and cleansing will not be accomplished instantaneously, and one should not expect these lifetime accumulations that are packed into the system to be miraculously squeezed and flushed out of the tissues and organs in some "colonic fashion." This will all take time.  You will have high days and low days, and these will take place in cycles.  These "cleansing sicknesses" come in cycles of seven days, seven weeks, seven months, and seven years in most cases, and on each of these cyclic periods there will be healing and cleansing crises.  As the toxic poisons break loose and are dumped into the blood stream so they can be eliminated from the physical body, you will feel pretty rough and quite frequently during a crisis you may feel worse than you ever did before starting the program--but again, do not panic! These crises are, again, merely toxic poisons trying to get from your body (wherein they heavily load the excretory channels) and are doing you the favor of leaving as rapidly as possible (causing pain and discomfort in the elimination process).  But the bad days will become fewer and fewer and the good days greater and greater, if you are faithful to the program.  Professor Arnold Ehret's book Mucusless Diet Healing System (which can be purchased from any health food store) may help you to understand some of the reactions you might experience while ridding the body of toxins, wastes, and mucus. 
       Do not be unduly alarmed if you feel somewhat weak during or after this detoxification.  Nature uses our energies for a housecleaning within us, and we soon regain greater energy and vitality as a result of a cleaner and a healthier body.  It is good to do the three-day cleanse monthly or several times a year. 

Items to Eliminate: 
The following food (secondary, denaturized, or inorganic) substances are to be eliminated from the patient's diet: 

Salt: 
For those who are accustomed to large amounts of salt, this may sound difficult, but if you will substitute coarsely ground pepper and savory herbs, adding powdered kelp, you will find that the craving for salt will immediately begin to disappear. Black pepper is a good nutritional herb and helps rebuild the body when used in its natural state. But when pepper is cooked in food, the molecular structure changes, so that it becomes an inorganic irritant (as high heat changes cayenne, black pepper, and spices from organic to inorganic), and this is the only time when damage results. The use of salts that are of a vegetable or potassium base (such as Dr. Jensen's, Dr. Browner's, and other various ones, which in some cases contain some sea salt) is all right, providing it is not overdone. 

Eggs: 
No eggs should be eaten in any form. 

Sugar and all sugar products: 
You may use honey, sorghum molasses or blackstrap molasses, but no sugar of any type. 

Meat: 
Eliminate all meats from the diet. A little white fish once a week, or a bit of young chicken that has not been fed commercial food or inoculated with formaldehyde and other antispoilage serums, would be all right (as these are the higher forms of edible flesh), but do not use them too often. 

Milk: 
Eliminate all dairy products: butter, cheese, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, etc. These are all mucus-forming substances and in most cases, are extremely high in cholesterol (especially butter). As a substitute for butter or margarine (hardened vegetable oils, etc.), you can train your taste buds to enjoy a good, fresh, bland olive oil on vegetables, salads, and basic meals. 

Flour and Flour Products: 
Flour is eliminated because, when heated and baked at high temperatures, it changes to a mucus-forming substance. It has no more life. All wholesome food is organic, where unwholesome food is dead and inorganic. 

Those are our "don't's," and now for the "do's." 

Supplements: Revitalizing and healing aids. 
Our supplemental recommendations will build up strength in the body and start cutting the mucus out of the tissues and remove the catarrh from the system. 

Cayenne : 
Take 1 teaspoonful of cayenne 3 times a day. Start gradually with 1/4 teaspoonful in a little cold water; drink this and follow with a glass of cold water. Add 1/4 teaspoonful to this dosage every 3 days, until you are taking 1 teaspoonful 3 times a day (the graduated dosages will accustom your system to the pungency of the herb). 

Honey and Apple-Cider Vinegar: 
Place 1 tablespoonful of honey and 1 tablespoonful of vinegar in warm water, so that the honey will liquefy. Sip this amount 3 times a day so that at the end of the day a total quantity of 3 tablespoonfuls are consumed. This must be apple cider vinegar; do not use malts or other types of vinegars, as these are damaging to the body. The apple cider vinegar is medicinal and very beneficial. 

Kelp : 
Each patient should use between 10 to 15 kelp tablets daily, if there is any indication of a thyroid problem; otherwise, 2 or more will keep the body in good condition as preventative nutrition. This can take the place of salt and helps build a new thyroid gland. Kelp powder can be used on salads and in other ways. 

Molasses: 
Take 1 tablespoonful 3 times a day of either sorghum or blackstrap molasses. 

Wheat Germ Oil: 
Take 1 tablespoonful of a good, fresh wheat germ oil three times a day. 

Dietary suggestions: Regenerative foods 
If this diet is followed as outlined, we guarantee that after a short period of time you will have much more satisfaction from the foods we recommend for better health than you ever had from the food of your former diet. 
Remember, you do not have to count calories in this type of diet; just eat as instructed and you will come to your normal weight, with plenty of physical strength. 

Do not be overly concerned because this diet omits meat and the commercial types of protein (as are so well advertised), and don't worry about adding protein, as you will get all that you need in these foods. The gorilla is built on the same order as the human being, and he gets all the protein he needs from just fruit and nuts (and for the human, the greens will round out the body requirement). Don't panic; just prove this program to you self! 

Morning: 
It is best not to "break-the-fast" (breakfast) until at least noon, except in cases of young or very active people. You will find that this will not be hard to do when using items that we recommend (such as wheat germ oil, cayenne, etc.). These will lower the appetite while providing the needed nutrition, so you will feel satisfied and will have taken these items even the second time during the morning before it is time to eat the regular noon meal. But if (after taking the lower bowel tonics, wheat germ oil, cayenne, apple cider vinegar, honey, molasses, herbal teas, etc.) you have room left, are hungry, and want something to eat, the best food to start the day is a good low-heated whole-grain cereal; however, this should be cereal in its wholesome state (with life in it), or eat fresh fruits. The cereal is prepared by first soaking the whole grain in water 20-30 hours, then heating in stainless steel double boiler at a very low heat (130 degrees or under--12 to 14 hours, brans etc. longer if needed), or it can be prepared in a thermos bottle via an infusion procedure alone, which is done as follows: take a thermos bottle (pint, quart or whatever size you need for your size family or individual); fill it in the early afternoon or evening one-third full of high-protein turkey red wheat or other grains or combinations; then finish filling the thermos bottle with water (turning the container on its top and back once or twice, so that during the evening the water circulates completely into the bottom, or else some wheat in the bottom will not be treated); and when you uncover the vessel in the morning (after low heating the grain all night long), it should be ready: the wheat popped open, soft and very tasty (as none of the flavor has been lost in cooking), and with a little oil or fresh butter and honey added, it is a very delectable food. Not only this, but wheat contains all of the potential nutrients needed in the human body. The wheat herb of wheat grass is a complete food, as it provides you with protein, calcium, and all the needed enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc., to rebuild and regenerate the cell structure of your body. The grain is alive until it is killed in some chemical storage procedure, or high heat. The test for germinate wheat (which is still in a "wholesome" state, having the life therein) is to plant it and see if it will grow. This test is also valid for testing cooked wheat, and when low-heated in stainless steel, it will retain the life power and will grow! Wheat and other foods prepared in this manner, are organic; consequently, this is the manner that grains must be prepared for use. We are told in holy writ that "all wholesome grains and herbs are for man," and "grain is the staff of life," but it does not say that it is permissible to grind wheat to a face powder fineness or to heat it above 212 degrees F., and change the molecular structure from organic to inorganic, and thereby make it very mucus-forming. This is not what was intended, I am sure, as the results indicate otherwise. Always follow the above procedure for wheat, or sprout if you wish. 

Noon: 
If you prefer only a light lunch, then have a tossed salad of mixed vegetables and leafy greens as large as you want, using a homemade olive oil dressing: 
1 cup   olive oil 
2 tablespoonfuls  apple cider vinegar 
Pinch   herbs, black pepper, etc. 
(Make this dressing to your own taste, for there are so many varieties you can make; avocado, onion, garlic, etc., but do not use the processed dressings of the commercial market). 

Juices may be taken during the afternoon: carrot, grape, apple, etc. Dried fruits and nuts are very nourishing and beneficial, and the latter are better (as a whole protein) when used in combination with the garden greens. If a person has cancer or is inclined towards cancer, do not overdo eating protein (such as nuts). This is one thing that does damage to the pancreas and in these cases, eat nuts only in the morning. Stay away from peanuts and concentrate on almonds. A person with a cancerous condition should use from 8 to 10 almonds in the morning and the same at noon. But do not take any protein from evening time until the next morning, allowing 16 to 18 hours for the pancreas to clear and start to work on enzymes again. All protein should be taken early in the morning. In cancer cases never use any second-hand or secondary protein (such as meats). 

Regular meals can start off with a cup or bowl of potassium broth. Dehydrated vegetables in the form of potassium powder or broth can be purchased from most health stores or you can prepare your own. There are some of your health books that provide instructions for making potassium broth. You can add the left-over, low-heated vegetables from the day before to the broth with a few savory herbs (and here you have one of the most exotic tasting low-heated vegetable soups that is imaginable). The broth starts the meal off, and is followed with a salad. There are thousands of salad combinations, and with some experimentation, you will never run short of interesting ones. After that, serve the low-heated vegetables (many types can be prepared with various savory herbs removed from the low-heat just before serving) At least five or six vegetables should be eaten each day, of which two should be green, leafy ones. A small amount of bland oil (such as olive oil) added to baked potato, baked squash, etc., is very good. You can explore and concoct some very interesting, intriguing meals with a little daring and imagination, and you will never need to worry if you eat until you are satisfied, and you will have all the nutrition that is needed for ample physical strength. 

Evening: 
This is generally the heavy meal of the day, but you can reverse this at will if you like, eating the heavy meal maybe at noon, then the light meal with a salad at night. If you prefer a warm meal, start off with a cup of vegetable broth (regular potassium broth). The broth should be followed with a salad, then with the main course of steamed vegetables that have been prepared at low-heat. Be sure to always cook in stainless steel, Pyrex, or some approved vessel, but never in aluminum. You may also have vegetable juices, or a baked potato or baked squash with some olive oil in place of butter. 

Juice or nuts, dried fruits or fresh fruits are all excellent. Whenever you use a fresh fruit, use it alone (a monodiet). When you want to eat some other type of fruit, wait for one-half hour or more at least before eating it; this will prove much easier on your digestive system. 

Three-oil massage, which is as follows: The first two days, the patient should be massaged with castor oil, using a clockwise circular motion.  This castor oil cleanses and flushes the skin and removes toxins.  The second two days, the area is massaged with olive oil, which feeds and rebuilds muscles and flesh.  The next two days, wheat germ oil is used for massage, which heals, being high in vitamin E.  On the seventh day the patient rests.  Immediately after the  massage, the patient takes a sunbath, starting with only two minutes a day and increasing two minutes each day, up to a half hour.  Use direct sunlight, though not in the heat of the day, and in cloudy weather use a sunlamp.
