Are Herbs Scientifically Proven??
Words of Wisdom by Carol
Talk by Donna Roth Science vs Laws
of Nature. July 201`7
I often hear people ask me, “ Is
it scientifically proven?” The way I see it science changes its direction as
often as the wind. So let’s talk about some drugs that were scientifically
proven to be safe and effective and how that science changed like the wind when
it was discovered that lives were lost, people got heart attacks and cancers.
• In
the late 1950’s the drug called Thalidomide was proven to be safe and
effective. “Thalidomide, was hailed as a "wonder drug" that provided
a "safe, sound sleep”. It was prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. Let’s
just find out the consequences of this science.
“Thalidomide was a catastrophic
drug with tragic side effects. Not only did a percentage of the population
experience the effects of peripheral neuritis, a devastating and sometimes
irreversible side effect, but thalidomide became notorious as the killer and
disabler of thousands of babies.
When thalidomide was taken during
pregnancy (particularly during a specific window of time in the first trimester),
it caused startling birth malformations, and death to babies. Any part of the
foetus that was in development at the time of ingestion could be affected.
For those babies who survived,
birth defects included: deafness, blindness, disfigurement, cleft palate, many
other internal disabilities, and of course the disabilities most associated
with thalidomide:
The numbers vary from source to
source as no proper census was ever taken, but it has been claimed that there
were between ten and twenty thousand babies born disabled as a consequence of
the drug thalidomide. There are approximately 5,000 survivors alive today,
around the world. Never counted and never to be known, are the numbers of
babies miscarried, or stillborn, let alone the number of family members and
parents who have suffered over the years.
In Canada no thalidomide case ever
reached a trial verdict. Rather, families were forced to settle out-of-court
with gag orders imposed on them not to discuss the amounts of their
settlements. This resulted in wide disparity in the compensation amounts, with
settlements for individuals with the same levels of disability varying by
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Notice how thalidomide was
scientifically proven to be safe and effective and a wonder drug.
After babies were born without
limbs and with various birth defects it was suddenly taken off the market, My
point of discussion is that science can change direction like the wind. Yet we
rely on this science as proof and truth.
Here are two more cases:
Vioxx was safe and effective until
it was shown that it caused heart attacks and strokes. It was proven to be
linked to about 27,785 heart attacks or sudden cardiac deaths between May 20,
1999 and 2003. Suddenly it was off the market. It took 27000 heart attacks to
prove it was a dangerous drug.
Menopausal Hormone Therapy
Research from the WHI studies has
shown that MHT is associated with the following harms quote”
Urinary incontinence. Use of
estrogen plus progestin increased the risk of urinary incontinence
Dementia. Use of estrogen plus
progestin doubled the risk of developing dementia among postmenopausal women
age 65 and older (5).
Stroke, blood clots, and heart
attack. Women who took either combined hormone therapy or estrogen alone had an
increased risk of stroke, blood clots, and heart attack (1, 3). For women in
both groups, however, this risk returned to normal levels after they stopped
taking the medication (2, 4).
Breast cancer. Women who took
estrogen plus progestin were more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer
(6). The breast cancers in these women were larger and more likely to have
spread to the lymph nodes by the time they were diagnosed (6). The number of
breast cancers in this group of women increased with the length of time that they
took the hormones and decreased after they stopped taking the hormones (7).

High triglyceride levels are common,. You will find a
triglyceride level among the four values on any standard cholesterol panel. The
problems that arise from high triglycerides are the blocking of insulin Ways to
reduce high triglycerides is by reversing insulin resistance: grain and sugar
elimination, vitamin D restoration, getting adequate sleep, and physical
activity all help reverse insulin resistance. A very quick way to reverse
insulin resistance is through intermittent fasting, fasting for periods of
15-36 hours (while hydrating well).
Drink water and hydrate: Drinking clean water; water with no
chloride, fluoride but think of the residues of vaccines, drugs getting into
your water system. Solstic Energy dehydrates and so does adding salt and
stirring clockwise and then counterclockwise help to restructure your waster and
help to hydrate. Tom Cowan.
Limit Legumes, Cooked Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and Yams. In
general, don’t eat more than 1/4 cup of any of these foods per meal. Including
some of these foods can be important, however, as they benefit bowel flora,
especially chickpeas, hummus, lentils, and raw white potatoes.
Success Story: Lupus by Lynn
You Don’t have to Have Lupus or Be
Diseased. Just Make a Decision Says Lynn
Ten years ago, Lynn was diagnosed
with Lupus and was given 2 years to live.
“My whole life ended, and I went
into a deep depression. I was hospitalized to a psych ward for a period of 3
months. I was totally overwhelmed, and I broke down.” For years Lynn’s life was
totally consumed by doctors. Visits to the doctors’ offices was her entire
social life.” I was letting the doctors tell me what to do. I was living on
borrowed time. All I did was make appointments with doctors and sit around in
the waiting rooms to see doctors. I shaved my legs daily to see doctors. I was
up to visiting 15 doctors a week. I was very timid, and I was lost. I was
bitter. Why is my life shutting down? “
No one could give Lynn an answer. Then one day she made a
decision – a decision that changed her life. Someone had told her about Donna
Roth, an expert herbalist and she decided to visit her for a consultation. The
consultation discovered that Lynn was very deficient in many different
minerals, enzymes , and essential fatty acids. On July 31/06 Lynn started on
her new adventure.
“I decided I would do exactly what Donna said I should do. I
taped the instructions to my fridge, and I stuck to the program.”
Every day Lynn took the following Nature’s Sunshine herbal
program:
Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic 3 oz a day
Ultimate Green Zone
LIV-C 4 capsules a day
Evening Primrose Oil 4 capsules a day
Colostrum 4 a day
No sugar, pop, wheat, yeast products. A diet of vegetables,
fruit, nuts, seeds, hormone free meat, eggs. Water only to drink.
At the end of August/2006 Lynn visited her liver specialist
who did a liver enzyme test for her. The results showed the liver enzymes to be
down to normal for the first time in 10 years. The doctor couldn’t believe it
and so he did another liver test just in case there was an error in the testing
procedures. Once again, the liver test showed the enzyme levels to be perfectly
normal. All other blood tests showed everything to be in the normal range. The
blood pressure came down from 180/110 to 127/85. The doctor was absolutely
amazed and told Lynn she wouldn’t have to see him for another 6 months. Lynn
also weaned off 5 of her 7 medications- the anti-malaria drugs, the blood
pressure meds, the diuretics, the potassium and the arthritic pain drugs.
Today Lynn rarely has any pain. The cramps she would have in
the liver and the ribs every time she ate have gone. Her leg cramps decreased
dramatically. She rarely gets headaches anymore and her sugar cravings are
gone. The anxiety attacks, stress and depression are gone. Her sporadic
menstrual cycle is normal now
“I learned I had to speak for myself and do it myself. I was
letting the doctors tell me what to do. I changed my eating habits. I changed
my shopping habits from cookies and potato chips to fruits and vegetables. I
get excited when I cook now. I discovered how my intestinal tract works. I feel
younger today then I did 10 years ago. “Lynn’s advice is to gain knowledge
about yourself and to do it yourself.
Marie had been sick off and on for 17 years. She was
stricken with asthma attacks and relied on
steroids to ease the asthma .The side effects of the steroids led to
osteoarthritis and now she was taking pain drugs to alleviate the terrible pain
of the osteoarthritis . She tried so hard to get off those horrible steroids
but when ever she did the pain in the joints was crippling and she could not
function. She could hardly get off the chair to walk to the bathroom. Then
there was always the constant congestion in the sinuses and the lungs and the
serious attacks of asthma which only puffers and steroids could control. Within
the first 5 months of 2011 Marie spent 55 days in the hospital and she was
admitted to the ICU 3 times with life threatening asthma. Her lung capacity was
so low that she could only blow 160 points on the Blow Scale. The Blow Scale
registers up to 800 points. Here we go again - more steroids and the steroids
helped her to blow to 350 points on the Blow Scale. Marie was so sick that
thinking was an issue. “Depression was
so involved in my illness and my mind was constantly foggy and I could not
think. Steroids cause depression so you’re caught up in this vicious catch 22
cycle.”
Now here is a point
of interest. I have known Marie for 17 years and on more than one occasion I
mentioned a herbal program to her. The idea just did not catch on. She just did
not think that herbs could ever help her. She was too sick and if drugs could
not help how could herbs ever make a
difference. Finally in July 2012 Marie
,with the help of her daughter, succumbed to a herbal program. In July
of 2012 Marie attended a consultation session with Donna Roth and committed to
following her educational advise. Here is Marie’s secret to her success.
First she totally went off all grains, all sugar foods, all
milk products.
Second she increased her nutritional status by making high
dense nutritious super shakes with Mineral Chi Tonic, Solstic Energy and Zambroza.
Third Marie took capsules of HSN-W 5 a day to heal the inner
membrane of her damaged lungs.
Fourth Marie took capsules of Nature’s Sunshine Cat’s Claw
combination 5 a day to clear up the infection in the lungs.
Fifth Marie found that she no longer needed steroids and so
she went off the steroids.
The turning point came after 6 weeks on this program. Once
again it was time for Marie to do the Blow test. She recalled that in the past
she was able to blow only as high as 350 points and that was with the help of
the steroid drugs. This time there are no drugs. To Marie’s utter amazement she
was able to blow to 450 points the best ever in 17 years. Marie is ecstatic.
What a difference nutrition and herbs have made in her life. This is the best
she has felt in 17 years. And she is enjoying life. She is presently well
enough to go on a holiday with her husband and her grandchildren.
Marie wants all those who are suffering with health problems
to know that you don’t have to waste 17 years of your life to do a herbal
program. Just call Donna Roth and she will give you sound educational
information regarding nutrition and herbs. It will change your life !
