Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - May 2011

 Dear patients and friends,

I am looking forward to seeing you in L.A. the week of May 16th through 21st.

Spring is springing everywhere working it’s charm, as I was reminded by a very handsome drake and his rather rustic looking little duck wife, doing a little springing of their own in the cold, full and rushing creek - rather unsuccessfully I might add, as they kept tipping over.  For anyone who wants to do a little more “springing” themselves, remember the Horny Goat Weed Extract, (under Goat Weed Extract in the catalogue), the O/N Formula and/or the Damiana.  Very helpful for all of that, except in cold creeks.  Well, I’m just saying….

The Colon and the Heart as Relatives

As you know, and I admit, I do pester the people with whom I work  by insisting on keeping the colon clean and digestion moving, not just for spring detoxing and general weight loss, but as a matter of habit, reason being that colorectal cancer is the second biggest killer in the U.S., no.1 being heart disease, of course.  A stuffy colon also affects our energy levels enormously and a dearth of that is the main plaint I hear in my practice.

All that the colon cleans out, is something for which the heart, circulation and arteries are grateful  as it reduces their labor, which in turn helps to prevent excessively high cholesterol, plaque, fatty heart and liver and so on. The latest research shows that the reason for much heart disease is not high cholesterol, it is inflammation, which thrives in a congested , acidic system.  Hence, surprisingly, there is frequent improvement from the anti- inflammatories AR+ and/or Devil’s Claw, as well as the Detox powder and Barley Grass.

The surprise statistic is that 75% of people who have heart attacks have “normal” cholesterol, while the majority of those diagnosed with unhealthy cholesterol levels never suffer from it.  Little bits of exercise apparently make a huge difference.  Running or speed walking for just an hour a week reduces their risk by 42%.  Yeah, weekend warriors!!  Apparently, a good diet and exercise, even if they don’t lower the LDLs will reduce our risk of heart disease many times more than taking a statin drug ever will.  Well, really!!  But wait, here come more joys of statins: reduction of ability to orgasm (ah, no statins for me), liver damage,  muscle pain and muscle damage, so no statins for athletes either, unless they take a ton of the MNF (our muscle and bone nourishing formula).  And, oh yes, memory loss.

A little apropos case history :  Someone with whom we’ve worked  on and off for some years, told me, Saturday, that she feels the Detox powder and Nu-Liv got her off the steroids and pain meds for lymphocytic colitis.  She still uses them and the problem has never returned.

For encouragement, if your cholesterol numbers are high and must come down - A patient called to say his blood sugar went from 140 to 111 using  Gymnema and our Patic Fe formula.  His cholesterol is normal now using Nattokinase  and the Cho-lite formula,  In 3 weeks.

A many years breast cancer survivor and conqueror wrote after her latest battery of tests:

“Hi Eve, I have seen many doctors this past week and there is always a sense of amazement,  given my history (chemo x2, no ovaries and nodules on my thyroid), that I do not take any medication.  'A miracle,' they say, 'No, herbs,' I say…and that is the end of the conversation?”

An 11 - year - old girl’s migraines.  She had chronic migraines for 2 ½ years. The day I saw her, she had suffered 4 migraines in the past week, and had just come off a ten day course of antibiotics.  Her parents wanted to keep her off any more migraine drugs that the doctors prescribed.  She had been on Benadryl a good part of her young life, due to all her allergies,  and she had sugar cravings, cold, clammy hands and feet, nausea,  bad breath and chronic sore throats.  She is an athlete, beautiful and very slender, but her knees were beginning to hurt her after running.  She gradually started the herbs as she faded out the drugs, and, when I saw her  5 weeks later, she was off the drugs entirely. She had had just 3 mild migraines which she was able to stop with the herbs.  She had no more sore throats. Her herbs are Rhodiola, Bilica, Patic Fe, Bactotox and Allertotal.

I am thankful to you for keeping me working for you, and thank the following people for referring those who need help:  Xiomara Hernandez, Corinna Peipon, Mario Tabet, Claude Tabet, Jessica Schieffer, Leo Shochat, Cindi Smith, Cerina Vincent, Lindsay Wolf and Sheri Wolf.

In best of health to you as always,

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - April 2011

Dear patients and friends,

My  L.A. dates in April are from the  11th through the 16th,  and I very much look forward to working with you in adapting to the times.  In the meantime it is truly spring and allergies are having their way with many of us.  During my walk this morning there was a man with tissues under his nose looking so sour that even his dog had turned pessimist.  You don’t need to – remember the homeopathic Allertotal drops, they usually work quickly with the only side effect being relief.

Thyroids and immune systems might also want to be double-checked so that they are the best they can be.  For the latter, we are putting together a new immune formula called A-Defense, which will be for people who are too energized by the Bactotox, too cleaned-out by the Enhance, and too awed by the expense of the AHCC.

The Iodine Update

The panic has simmered down to a quiet curiosity as to what, if anything, to do now.  It does seems clear that there is still some level of threat from the fall-out in Fukushima and some levels of radiation are now being detected on our west coast and as far east as Florida and the Carolinas.  The idea of taking iodine supplements at this time is to prevent the attachment of radioactive iodine in the thyroid, not to remove it after the fact.  At our places in Culver City, CA and Ashland, OR, we have decided to take preventative action by using the Prolamine Iodine supplements, followed by the Iodomere, both of which are safe, food grade, non toxic, protein-bound forms of iodine supplementation. We did just get in another supply should you wish to do the same.

In the meantime, it seems wise to keep some extra seaweed around and keep in mind that outside the foods I listed in the iodine newsletter 2 weeks ago, there is also organic, naturally occurring iodine in the TQH (thyroid formula), in BWC (the Black Walnut in this anti-parasitic formula contains it), in the O/N formula (the oatstraw and nettle both contain trace amounts, hence the nice little charge to the libido), the Bilica formula, MNF, and Patic Fe which contains the iodine friendly nettle and kelp.

Our Pilonidal Cyst Therapy Pack is still working its charms on this painful, pus-filled cyst which is usually at the base of the spine.  I was so pleased to receive the following e-mail today from someone who used it 8 years ago:

“I am experiencing a little flair up in my pilonidal cyst.  It has been relatively unnoticeable since I went on your herbs and diet for about 3 months when it appeared 8 years ago.  Can you please resend the poultice instructions with my order, and thanks again for all your help.”

 I am still always in awe of the herbs, so effective and with lots of nice side effects.

Anxiety

This wretched feeling seems part of the litany of woes of almost everyone I see, and yours truly has also been there, done that.  Having said that, a new patient, calling to check in with me after 2 weeks of her program, said her anxiety had dropped from 100% to 15% in two weeks.  She was exploring an alternative to the drugs she couldn’t tolerate, and was amazed that herbs could work so well and so quickly, and looked forward to maintaining a cheerier outlook.

Hanging tough with inexplicable pain

It took two months of working together with this beautiful young woman, to find out what exactly it was that her soleus muscle wanted before it would stop hurting. Joey and I had looked up the ancient and modern herbals about the intolerable pain it was causing, about mid-calf.  The pain was particularly bad at night as it would wake her up.  She told us she had been to 11 doctors of all types, to no avail.  We figured it had to do with her adrenal glands and proceeded from there.  The candida which was also pretty severe, diminished and all but disappeared after about a month, but more weeks and a lot of pain meds later, still nothing, and I was beginning to despair.   Finally, 3 weeks ago she wrote: “Good news! The soleus cramps are immensely better. I’d say about 40% better. I can take naps again and I am so grateful. It still cramps up but they are less severe and will usually go away if I walk around and rub camphor on it.

I’m taking care of my adrenals. I cut out caffeine except for tea in the morning to get me going and am drinking mostly water throughout the day. Sometimes I’ll have a decaf green tea or water with lemon in the evening but that’s it. I’m very pleased to be able to report progress and am looking forward to seeing you.  And thank you. I got so hopeless that I’m just tickled by my progress.  Life is much better when you can sleep.”  Yes, indeed!!

THANK YOU to the following people who referred others:  Ali Ironside, Allison King, Steve Marosi, Natalie Langner-Sherbakova, Viviane Oberhand, Molly O’Melveney, Larisa Pilinsky, Jane Rogers, Yolande Simon, Claude Tabet and Mario Tabet.  

Should you wish to have me address a particular health issue in one of these e-letters, do let me know.

In best of health to you as always,

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - March 2011

I look forward to being in L.A. again Tuesday, March 8th through Saturday the 12th, with  thoughts of spring, and to check out how nature is doing with her spring chores.

Allergies leading to colds and chest woes are rampant in L.A. this year, possibly because of the unusual rains, followed by the winds blowing all kinds of vigorous spores around.  It helps to keep the sinuses clear with salt water rinses, the chest and throat covered and the use of the homeopathic Allertotal allergy drops which we’ve just re-ordered.  Also, keep giving the immune system a leg up by combining the Bactotox and Herba Pneu formulas for lots of non-irritating vitamin C, and for the congestion leaving the south end of the body rather than the mouth and sinus at the north end.

An interesting note came with an herb order today.  “You may already know this, but…Our family was struggling with lingering head colds and nothing was keeping it away – except the BWC (only thing I had).  Relief by the next day and all gone day after that – 2 days!  Hubby claims coincidence, but I’m still a believer!  Thank you, Eve and Happy Valentine’s Day. “

O.K., the BWC re colds is new to me, but why not? Anything that is as beneficial in all ways to the colon as is the BWC, would help the lungs as well, as they are the yang part of “a pair”, the colon being the yin in “eastern philosophy speak.”  And the skeptical hubby, well, he is the yang to her yin after all.  Good Grief!!

For the spring, many people want to change off their prescription drugs for something “more natural”, as part of our spring detox.  A good place to start is a good liver support, like the Nu-Liv formula, which usually also helps with any withdrawal.  The Nu-Liv formula is often enough, combined with some dietary changes, but for more complicated health issues other herbal support like adrenal formulas or nervines may be needed, as was the case in the testimonial below.

HEPATITIS  C  AND HERBS

Positive results from herbs for Hep C and, of course, most liver diseases, are well known by now, but as a reminder, the following is a recent testimonial from a couple who both have Hep C, whom I’ve seen twice to adjust the herbs over a course of about 6 weeks.  She emailed their follow-up blood work and said, “My husband and I took the test again, and apparently the situation seems better. The level of the toxins of our last test was around 11million UI/ml for me and 15 million UI/ml for my husband, now we are both down to 5 million UI/ml.”  Though they use several of our formulas, the prime one is the Nu-Liv, while following the liver diet in my book, “Feeling Very Much Better” to the best of their ability while travelling a lot.

CALLING ALL VEGANS - Outside our ultra potency Omega-3 fish oil, we now carry Vegan Omega Chia Seed Oil,   which is a worthy competitor for its fishy equivalent and tends to be less “burpy.”

SPECIALS – through March 19th include:

     Blend F:  Great to help the adrenal glands cope with stress and balancing the
                      hormones for men and women.  Normally $16, now, $12.

     FluPlus:  For symptoms and prevention of flu and colds.  Reg. $16, now $12.

     Eve’s Book:  Feeling Very Much Better.   Normally $11, now $7.

THANK YOU to the following people for referring others who need help with their health and well being:  Michelle Akeley, Maite Calmette, Mary Jo Duprey, Lena Firestone, Ali Ironside, Rosie Lopez, Gabriella McAllister, Viviane Oberhand,  Marie Rousso, Ava Sydney and Mari Weiss.

See you next week,  Doc Eve

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - February 2011

 

Dear Patients and friends,

I look forward to being back in LA Tuesday, February 8th through Saturday the 12th to work together again.

Exhaustion, fatigue, weight gain and the sugar blues

To make sure that the weight you are looking to shed this Spring comes off fairly easily and stays off, do consider the above combination of symptoms, as they are very common indeed.  I don’t mean the garden variety “I’m allergic to morning” low energy, as, regrettably, morning will usually come along when we’re not awake.  No, this acute level of exhaustion is almost always due to the “chairman of the board” in our brain with the direction: “At all costs preserve the vital organs.”  For instance, the pancreas – a tired one, struggling to process over-consumed sugar into energy, results in increased body fat and yeast growth.  The immune system – an overworked one will drain us of energy because it needs it all to manage its vital functions.  The adrenal glands – when they’ve finally been overstimulated into exhaustion, will beg the thyroid to take over and, voila, good bye healthy metabolism, as the thyroid also wears down.

This is where the herbs (and, of course, a nourishing diet) come to the rescue.  One of the reasons the Bactotox formula is energizing for many, though it contains no stimulants, is that it takes the load off the immune system by helping it clear the system of virus and bacteria which are energy drainers.  The Sugar Free formula, for example, helps the pancreas turn sugar back into energy, the Patic Fe helps liver and bowel, nothing is as exhausting as constipation.  I know I’m preaching to the choir because you already know all this, but well, it’s that time of the year again.
 
One man dropped 12 pounds on the detox combination and some liver herbs last month and said “I have a lot more energy and just feel better all over.”  He had found it difficult getting to and staying at work due to extreme fatigue.  He had been able to cut his depression and anxiety meds by 75% and planned to drop the rest by next month.  His skin had become smooth and totally clear and he mentioned that he was no longer experiencing sleep apnea.

FYI, the Detox Package 2011 at EvesHerbs.net, wonderful for all the above, is still on special for another 2 ½  weeks and can be tailor-made for you during our visit.

Some nice news I just received from a patient a moment ago, is that the Pan D-2 we sent out as gifts to you over the holidays, “seems to have taken care of my hormonal imbalance, I am less moody and just feel better over all.” This makes sense, as the pancreas, which the Pan D2 supports, is part of the hormonal system.

The Flu plus (both for prevention and easing of symptoms if you already have it), is on special for $12 down from $16.00 through March 1st.

WE’D LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE FOR REFERRING FRIENDS AND RELATIVES:  Nicole Bradford,  Maite Calmette, Mary Jo Duprey, Vicky Firestone, Joan Foley, Loretta Fox, Bryan Krupin, Jeremy Mann, Melissa McGavin,  Evelyn Mendez, Deborah O’Neill, Marie Russo and  Roy Vongtama.

P.S.  Eve’s Herbs is now on Facebook (It took us long enough), so come and “like” us, and, of course, any comment would be appreciated.  As always, there is our official website at evesherbs.net, which includes many helpful “Therapy Packs” for people who can’t use our office.

The very best of health to you, see you soon,

Doc Eve

 

 

 

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - January 2011

Happy and healthy 2011 to our dear patients and friends.

I look forward to seeing you in LA from January 7th through the 12th when many of us will be ready to clean the remnants of holiday deposits which were looking to settle into our plumbing and onto our hips for good.

The Detox Special for 2010 worked so well, that we are offering a similar one for 2011. It includes the Detox powder, Barley Grass Powder and Natural Herbal Laxative. This combination is usually $74, and we’ll offer it, through February 15th, for $65 to help out a little with the budget. It is already lightening the pounds for people starting early. A patient just called to say she had dropped 5 lbs, and her husband 15 lbs, in 3 weeks. Nice!! Another call, a little more descriptive said: “After you gave me that "look" at my last visit I got serious and have really been eating better. The Detox powder and Barley Grass have done the trick, my poops look better and I've lost 6lbs.”

Our Detox powder is primarily a very fine flax meal with slippery elm and pectin to further its efficacy. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Wherever flax seeds become a regular food item among the people, there will be better health.” In 8th century France, Charlemagne passed laws requiring the seeds to be consumed, to keep his subjects healthy. The other little New Year’s gift to you is a free copy of my book “Feeling Very Much Better” upon request with any order, for occasions where “my friend is very interested in what I did to feel very much better. ;-)”

SIDE EFFECTS OF BACTOTOX

I had a call for a re-order yesterday where the man just gave me an FYI that since taking 3 at breakfast and 4 at lunch of the Bactotox to ward off a cold, his psoriasis all but cleared up. Wonderful! I do remember another side effect of large doses of Bactotox taken for 10 days for a person allergic to anti-biotics - his plantar’s wart cleared up.

May your 2011 be as abundant in health, joy and good fortune as the rain in California this December.

Eve, David and Joey Campanelli

 

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for  -  Nov / Dec 2010

Dear patients and friends,

I look forward to seeing you in LA Wednesday, December 1st through the 6th, to compare Thanksgiving hangovers and help with the holidays to come.

As a timely holiday gift to you, we will send a free bottle of Pan D 2 out to you with your next order Of $50 or more from now through January 1st. We use the Pan D2 formula primarily for blood sugar imbalances like hypoglycemia and diabetes, so it is wonderful for the holiday sweeties, but also for emotional roller coasters. One of its main ingredients, BORAGE, comes in handy if a certain dementia is released when people of the same gene pool get together, especially if the turkey is voted unusually athletic. Borage was touted by the famous herbalist, Nicholas Culpepper, in 1653, as “comforting to the heart and spirits for those much troubled by swoonings and passions of the heart.” Of course, the Joy Formula contains it for the same reason. So enjoy a cheery season from our home to yours.

FYI, the Culver City office will be closed December 7th through Tuesday the 14th as Joey will be in Ashland with us to play and train a little. We will be available at 310-855-1111 during that time for questions and orders. He is now certified in muscle response testing and ready to see patients. Half hour visits are $15 and one hour visits $25 for this year.

CHEERY CASE HISTORIES

One of the most rewarding aspects of our work together is when the initial goals of patients have been accomplished, and we also notice wonderful side effects not considered at the start. In one situation, an attractive woman had cysts under the skin of her eyelids which just disappeared during the 3 month course of our work together. In another, an always irregular period that arrived every 2-3 weeks is now on a 28 day cycle.

A man I initially saw after he had been to the ER, due to his sudden inability to urinate, wore a catheter and was on 3 different drugs for a diagnosis of a very enlarged prostate. He gradually came off two of the drugs at his own pace over the next month. The catheter was then removed, and a week later he stopped the last of the drugs. Predominantly, it was the R:I and the Tate:I Formulas, in hefty doses, that did the job. He has had another ultrasound and blood work showing a nice smooth prostate, he is urinating better than before and a surgery has been averted.

An actor we saw who was having trouble with a chronic cough disrupting his auditions, has nice free air passages again from using the Nu-Breath, Bactotox, Pneu and Allertotal. The 15 lbs he happened to lose were, I imagine, from the combination of his allergy-free diet and the herbs.

A Halloween web order came with a note saying: “Ahhhh, Feeling Very Much Better. Evil Halloween candy was NOT as tempting – phew! Cuz that ALWAYS puts me in a tailspin. Also feeling more “level.” Thank you thank youuu!”

And Thank YOU, to Kate McGregor Stewart, Marie Russo, Jessica Schieffer, Ava Sydney and Marvilyn Wright, for referring friends that needed help.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Happy Holidays!  and Happy New Year!

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - October 2010

Dear Patients and Friends,

I look forward to seeing you in Culver City this month, beginning Wednesday, October 20th through Tuesday, October 26th . For appointments call 310-855-1111.

It's already that time again for holiday Immune, Digestive and Stress supplement considerations, not to mention Flu prevention and just dropping a few lbs. The detox diet in my book, along with the colon cleansers, blood sugar and immune system regulators, are an unbeatable combination to accomplish this. A nice side effect is that their “Cleansing” will allow the body to drop the weight so by the end of the holidays, well, we come out even….sort of.

We have the homeopathic Flu Plus or Gripp-Heel for the kids, as well, standing in readiness. These help to prevent the flu as well as minimize it if you already have it.

FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND ESPECIALLY ALZHEIMER’S PREVENTION – KEEP THE PANCREAS STRONG. You may have read the study cited in the L.A. Times 9/20/10 about the connection between diabetes and dementia. This Japanese study was about Type 2 Diabetes, where patients can no longer respond properly to insulin. It showed that those who were more resistant to insulin during their lives were more likely to develop the amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer’s in their brains when they died. My Mom has both, and there is no question that her diabetes and dementia is marching along at the same pace. In light of that, you might want to take another look at the Hypoglycemia/Diabetes chapter in my book Feeling Very Much Better, go for walks checking on the trees’ chores for autumn, what with their exotic dye jobs, and remember your herbs. We have a long list of pancreas support like Gymnema, Sugar Free, Pan D-2, Patic Fe and, indirectly, some of your adrenal supports like Rhodiola, E:V, F Formula and others, all of which also help the brain.

For frequent as well as holiday travelers, the following two testimonials may be helpful: “My jet-lag was very minimal since our last visit and your herbs were the difference. I'm feeling better overall. I only had 4 headaches this past month instead of almost daily, and did not get sick to my stomach. Hurray!!! :-) “ She now travels with the Gentian, BWC, Cramp Bark, F formula and our sublingual Melatonin for the jet lag. She also uses the Sleeper Formula as needed.

The other woman came down with a nasty case of food poisoning while at Bryce Canyon, which took her to the E.R. Due to her extreme breathlessness, her lungs were C.T. scanned. She was told her oxygen levels were poor and there is possibly a blood clot in the lung. When I saw her she was still very weak with a general malaise from the food poisoning, and her breathlessness had not improved. As a by-the-way, she also mentioned her skin, which had been dry and thin for some time, making her vulnerable to any little scratch or bump that would leave marks. A month later, all symptoms were gone. She looked great, had a lot more energy and had lost a few pounds. The skin on her hands felt and looked better with a new “thickness” to it, which she felt, and rightly so, was due to the Bilica – as skin healing and nourishment is one of the jobs of this formula. The Bactotox finished killing the unwelcome bacteria in her belly and the F formula and MNF rebuilt her strength. She claimed an overall sense of well being and was happy to have found the right herbs for herself.

I’ll see you in L.A. and thank you for your continued loyalty to our work and products,

Doc Eve

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - September 2010

Dear Patients and Friends,

I’m looking forward to my end of summer visit to L.A. from September 15th through the 22nd, to see you and to be able to offer some help with your back to school/back to work health needs. 310-855-1111 is still for appointments and orders. The local Culver City number is 310-838-2527.

In the meantime, I’ll make this e-news short and sweet, as I know everyone is running around like their hair is on fire right now. An FYI on ADD, ADHD and all its relatives, both in adults and children: Do read the labels while buying packaged juices, snacks, etc., for the kids, as pesticides and dyes are now known to contribute generously to these frustrating conditions. Oh, and also watch out for high fructose corn syrup, which is guaranteed to fatten us so fast, we can watch ourselves expand in the mirror. It messes up the leptin response in the brain, which tells us when to stop eating, so we just keep eating and eating.

Greenexcellent is ON SPECIAL through October 2010. A number of people have liked it for safe weight loss. It is a decaffeinated extract from a specific variety of coffee beans, with anti-oxidant activity, to help normal glucose levels, promote weight loss, reduce fat from adipose tissues, and increase lean mass. Normally $24, it is now $19 for a 60 tablet bottle. Call-in orders only – not available online.

Testimonial for the Herbs: “I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH, yet again, for helping me with my female problems. The past year has been extremely challenging with debilitating periods that are a result of my fibroids. It is because I do not want to have a hysterectomy that I’ve been taking your herbs for so long. I realized a big part of taking the herbs is really STICKING WITH THEM and being religious about taking the exact amounts you prescribe. This month, you told me to take 10 Cramp Bark capsules per day starting three days before my period and, once it started, continue with my regular 3 capsules per day for the rest of the month. I BARELY HAD CRAMPS AT ALL, and when I did, they were manageable and I was able to function!"

"The combination of that, and your Joy Blend for the hormonal swings, GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK this month. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!“

I am grateful to the following people for referring friends and family to us to also feel better: Denise Ades, Marci Baun, Linda Franco, Laura London, Marc Marosi, Steve Marosi, Doug McCleod, Linda Pillsbury and Jane Rand.

A happy, healthy and brilliantly colored autumn to you and yours,

Doc Eve

 

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - August 2010

Dear Patients and Friends,

I look forward to being in L.A. from August 11th through the 18th to see you and work with you again. Though most of us did not abominably loll around on our yachts in the Caribbean this summer, I hope you’ve had some time to loll under a shade tree anyway, with some iced lemonade adorned with some mint and fresh slice of lime.

The Herba-Pneu and Skin Formulas are finally back in stock!!! I think we’ve mailed all back orders, but if any were skipped due to senior summer moments, do let us know. Call Ashland at 310-855-1111 or Culver City at 310-838-2527. Also, Joey is back in L.A. for pick-ups and treatments.

BRUTAL SKIN CONDITIONS - Of late, I see more and more people that want help with anything from teen acne, to midlife hormonal acne, to boils, eczema, psoriasis, painful cystic acne, chin only acne and rashes of all kinds. The herbs like the Skin Formula, Bactotox, Kleanz, Detox powder and an adrenal support (stress relief), of course help speed the cleaning and healing, but they do, usually, need assistance with the kindly removal of the dietary offenses and/or allergies which are usually the culprits. It helps to keep in mind that the skin is our largest eliminatory organ. It takes over when the groaning liver and/or kidneys, intestine or stressed adrenal glands can no longer manage, at which time they release the “toxins” into the blood. From here they hitch a ride to the skin. The healing time depends upon your starting condition and length of time the skin dilemma has declared itself. If you already have suspicions as to the cause, bring them in to your visit so we can test them as guilty or innocent. Therapy Packs for the above are available on our website at EvesHerbs.net.

A testimonial for Joey Campanelli’s pain relief energy work: “Hello Joey, I can't believe ( I really mean that) how much better my shoulder feels. I had tried yoga, chiropractic care (not David) and acupuncture - a few waves of Joey's hands (I'm sure there is more that goes into it than that, but that sure is what it looks like) - I was better the next day and pain free within 48 hours. Weird, wild and wonderful. Thank You So Much, M.

Another testimonial for the herbs from a woman from Georgia whose comments came with her order for three Therapy Packs: “I feel the best I have in a very long while…the skin problems and fatigue I experienced after donating my kidney have subsided. May God bless you all the days of your life. Thank you so much.” She had re-ordered the Female Acne Therapy Pack, the Cold Sores/Fever Blister Therapy Pack, the Sugar Cravings, Hypoglycemia Therapy Pack and the Female Daily formula. I have a suspicion that she is a generous soul and orders for family and friends too.

THE NIGHTMARE OF TINNITIS A new patient I saw in July was, as he said, ”Climbing the walls with tinnitis.” I’ve had it myself and it is so crazy-making you’ll do almost anything to make it stop. He had had it for a year and he said his doctors couldn’t help at all. 8 days after our visit, he said the ringing was 50% less. 3 weeks later, about 75% improved. His herbs were very personalized, but I will say that the muscle testing showed that his adrenal glands, nervous system and blood sugar stabilizing (see our catalog) were all indirectly contributing. I am very excited for him.

From an “old” patient back for our herbs: “I tried another program for a while but my hair fell out. Also my joints hurt. So here I am.”

On that giggle, I want to thank the following people for referring those to us who need help: Denise Ades, Steven Feldman, Schehrezade Lodhy, Valerie Pilinski, Jane Rand, Sandra Stevenson and Whole Foods Markets.

 

Newsletter and L.A. Dates for - July 2010

Dear Patients and Friends,

I am looking forward to being back in LA Wednesday, July 7th through the 13th and to seeing and working with you.

The Patic Fe is finally back in stock!!! For those of you who love it and use it like I do, remember that it’s wonderful for weight, blood sugar, peppy digestion and plant iron. I hope I’ve filled all the back orders. Please let me know if I’ve missed any.

IT’S GOOD TO BE OLD(ER). Last week, 3 people I haven’t seen from between 10 to 25 years, came in again. It was such a pleasure to welcome you back, and thank you for remembering. One told me that her Mom always meant to let me know that due to the herbs, she didn’t have to have her entire thyroid removed after all. Nobody ever tells me anything. (Just kidding. I appreciate all the wonderful feedback).

THE BWC TINCTURE IS $10 LESS, from $34 to $24 for your summer travels. You’ve heard so much amazing anti-parasitic info about this formula, both to prevent and dispose of parasites, so I won’t bore you with more. Happy and safe travels!! Available through August.

JUST FYI, Joey will be unavailable for pick-ups and treatments in Culver City Sunday, July 25th through Monday, August 2nd. He’s off for a little training and play up here with us in Ashland. Culver City office number is: 310-838-2527.

I really do appreciate the following e-mail testimonials for our herbs. This is from one of my favorite people, 73 years old: “Hi, my genius doctor! So you did it again. You said we'd normalize my intestines and, voila, it was done. I saw you on March 22 and have not had a speck of trouble since! Can you imagine, I was going around with a parasite all those years? I can't wait to tell my other doctors.” I had given her arsenicum album, Detox powder, BWC, of course, and Devil’s Claw.

For the Peeper Keeper Formula: “I continue to see an improvement in the left eye (macular degeneration with painful pressure) and I am sharing the info with everyone!! I can't thank you enough for the herbs that you make available to us.”

Now I wish you a sumptuously healthy, sweet summer and hope you take some time to contemplate your navel, and to catch up on some awe while lying under a tree loaded with so many green leaves it doesn’t know what to do with them all.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHO ARE PLEASED WITH FEELING BETTER AND REFERRING OTHERS:

Diane Butman, Lisa Urich Butman, Paul Crane, MD, Steven Feldman, Jeanne Greene, Tessa Nathan, Larisa Pilinsky, Patti Podesta, Ann Root, Sandra Stevenson, Diane Thater and Sheri Wolf.

Newsletter - June 2010

Dear patients and Friends,

I’m looking forward to being back in LA next week, Wednesday June 2nd through Wednesday June 9th, to see you, and to work with you again. Please call 310-855-1111 for appointments, or while I’m in Culver City, 310-838-2527.

BREAKING NEWS: “Study raises link between ADHD, pesticides.” The Associated Press, CHICAGO – A new analysis of U.S. health data links children’s attention deficit disorder with exposure to common pesticides. In the body, pesticides break down into compounds that can be measured in urine. Almost universally, the study found detectable levels in the urine of 94 percent of the children. The findings are now published in “Pediatrics.” “As I read this, I thought what about those of us “of a certain age?” Well, the article finishes by saying: “Exposure is practically ubiquitous. We’re all exposed,” said lead author Maryse Bouchard.

Well, excuse me while I allow myself a refined little snicker. However, I will resist becoming a monumental piece of complacency, knowing, that you know, that this is very old news indeed. We’ve been writing about this in our newsletters for 30 years. For more info for kids and how to feed them, check out the children’s chapter in “Feeling Very Much Better” , which most of you have, and that includes the pesticide issue.

Couldn’t help but write my own little testimonial for the herbs, which is a first. I injured my foot recently gardening, and the pain was quite exquisite. Hobbling around I started to panic. My speed walks in the a.m. are not negotiable. Being a doctor and a horrid patient, I had no idea what to do for myself, however, something led me to my little herb drawer where I found some 2 yr. old AR+. I took 3, worked at my computer for 2 hours, got up for some tea and was walking almost normally. It was fantastic. On with the shoes and up the trail I went. Now being enamored anew with the AR plus, I decided to stay on it for my hands, which get quite intense little work-outs with the acupressure, gardening etc., and by golly, they are 80% better. Well, duh, Eve.

Sharing some love notes: A patient from the state of Georgia wrote with her re-order: “I am so thankful for your products!! I’ve tried others, but – no.”

A little allergy testimonial comes from LA, the allergy town, so you KNOW it’s good: “I wanted to let you know that your allergy treatment is genius. I feel a ton better. Thanks so much!” She used the Allergy Therapy Pack .

This last testimonial is a good note for diabetics. CS suffers from this disease. She left a message to specifically pass onto you. She had let herself run out of our Gymnema, just to see what would happen. About a week later she called to send out a box urgently, as “it is the only thing keeping my blood sugar readings in check. Without them, my glucose went up 20 points, Thank you” CS.

I am grateful to the following people who have been helped by our wonderful herbs and have consequently referred others: Amy Chen, Karen Doyle, Siobhan Flynn, Michael Gannon, Gary Gilbert, Lily Hunt, Michelle Jones, Kelsey Kline, Dori Levitt, Sharon Lockhart, Missy Masters, Summer McDowell, Tessa Nathan, Cheray O’Neal, Larisa Pilinsky, Liz Sarnoff, Robin Schultz, and the web.

Happy and Healthy summer and the best of heart wishes to you, Doc. Eve

 

Newsletter - April 2010

 

Dear Patients and Friends,

My April in LA dates are Thursday, 22nd through Wednesday, the 28th. I am looking forward to seeing you, and, hopefully some more April showers to keep LA sparkling.

Since detoxing and Spring cleaning is something I’m being asked about a lot this year, I’ve put a “Spring detox special 2010 “ on the evesherbs online store to save you a little money and get the job done. Of course you may also order it by phone, 310-855 1111. The package includes:

- My book “Feeling Very Much Better” , which has detox information in the first chapter.

- Detox powder, which is primarily flax meal, psyllium husks and pectin, adheres to the undigested matter in our plumbing systems, and forms a gentle bulk ready for it‘s trip south.

- BWC drops will make short shrift of any of those tiny critters building their tiny little pagodas in the nooks and crannies of our colon. It will also deal with any yeast in the system and flush everything out with the further aid of the:

- Fiber Regulator or Natural Herbal Laxative, the gentle but firm ushers.

- Power Barley: is a superior Chlorophyll, nature’s deodorizer, and power anti-oxidant. It is a vegetarian source of protein and a cleansing iron and multi nutrient supplement. You mix it with the detox powder. Lastly, the

- O/N formula, helps clean the kidneys and bladder, disposing of bloat, while also being a favorite with the libido of man. And woman.

Normally $134 now $110. Valid through June 1.

Happy Spring Cleaning!!!

P.S. The above may also be used with fasting. (See the Fasting Chapter also in the book).

Q & A: How long will I need to take the herbs for?

As a rule of thumb, for at least 6 weeks, as it takes that long to register a major change in the body. If it is a genetic pattern you would ideally stay on them at a maintenance dose until you feel good and healed.

Also, keep in mind that if you are using the herbs to counteract any kind of toxic exposures, that it is a good idea to stay on them for at least as long as you were exposed so as not to regress. I saw a woman last month whose itchy skin and aching joints from exposure had gone away within the 2 weeks while she was on the herbs, so she stopped. About a week later the symptoms returned. The body takes its own time to detoxify, so when you think you‘re done, cut back on the herbs very slowly to make sure. She is doing well again now with using the detox powder, Bactotox, Nu-liv F and allertotal.

FYI - The Joy formula is finally back in stock now, yet, the MNF is still back ordered until the 16th. Do remember though, that the Cramp Bark is a good alternative to the MNF taken at the same dose.

Case Histories: A patient whose re-order I just took for her herbs, said the Rentone seems to be the answer to sleeping through the night for her, as she woke to urinate frequently. The times of that little annoyance went from 4 times a night to 3, to two and now maybe not at all, over the course of 2 months. She also felt that the Gymnemma, got rid of the puffiness under mostly one eye, which had bothered her aesthetically for about 10 years. Well, we all have odd things about our looks that drive us crazy that no one else even notices. Kind of.

M came in for “awful night sweats, bad headaches from a fungus drug she had been given, getting up a lot during the night, energy crashes at 3 p.m., and rectal itching. During her appointment a month later, she claimed to “feel fabulous“ Only 1 hot flash at night and 2 during the day. She is sleeping through the night and hand no more energy crashes at 3 p.m. The rectal itching was also gone. Something she hadn’t even bothered to mention until I asked her due to her other symptoms. We still have a couple more things to work on, but are well on the way. In case you want to look up her herbs in the catalogue, she took Borage, Damiana, O/N 40 plus and gentian.

I was just a moment ago, told again that the BWC is an instant fix for stomach Oh Nooooos, which makes it a great medicine chest item and keeps for years.

I am grateful to the following people referring those who need help:

Ross Berman, Michael Gannon, Gary Gilbert, Tricia Howell, Lily Hunt, Kelsey Kline, Philip Littell, Summer McDowell, Jane Rogers, Virginia Smith and Robin Schultz .

P.S. If you’ll send me questions for the little Q &A section of future e-news, I’ll be happy to publish them.

Yours in always feeling very much better, Doctor Eve

Newsletter - March 2010

Dear Patients and friends,

Spring, Oh boy! What a lot of mischief it is this year. The trees and flowers are way ahead of their spring chores this year, fooling us into prematurely stripping our winter woolies and cordially inviting allergies, spring colds, bronchitis and the like. The Oscars with its usual sleek bodies, brought on thoughts of detoxing to dispose of surfeit poundage, while contenders successful enough to have ulcerative colitis will look to deal with that. I’m looking forward to seeing you and being useful.

March dates in Culver City are from Thursday the 18th through Wednesday, the 24th.

April Dates in Culver City will be Friday 23rd through Wednesday 28th. We’ll be having that postponed workshop on Sunday the 21st and we hope you can make it, as we’ve been having a lot of fun with them. The focus will be on the heart and the muscle testing will be for supplements and foods appreciated by this generous organ. These in turn will improve the functions of the circulatory system, which include high blood pressure, low blood pressure and cholesterol. We’ll also begin to delve into some of the above spring issues and continue them in April, Sunday 25th.

Joey will be working with us again and will bring some new muscle testing and balancing info after the completion of his first diploma course in “Touch for Health” (muscle testing). Some of it is pretty wild, including some trigger points to temporarily help ease the heart and calm blood pressure and anxiety. Though the heart is a compassionate organ, it is wise not to mess with it unless we want the cardiologist to perform that little feat known in Victorian novels as “looking grave.” We’ll also go over the heart’s partner, the small intestine, which will get us back into some digestive areas but from a different angle than in a prior workshop. Help to one of these partners, will often aid the other.

Eleven people is our limit again as the workshop is being held at our smallish Culver City office. It is $19 as before, so if you would please cover that with your space reservation, it would be appreciated.

Our new website finally works. Things you click on actually take you where you want to go. Brilliant!!! I still have some updating to do, but that’s a work in progress. You can now click on evesherbs.com or evesherbs.net.

CASE HISTORIES: Having mentioned ulcerative colitis, I just had a follow up phone consult with a young woman suffering from this totally debilitating condition. She would wake every two hours due to the bleeding. Bowel movements were extremely painful, bloody diarrhea, and she had headaches with intense sweats. She was hospitalized and given high doses of prednisone to stabilize her condition, but then the colonoscopy her doctor insisted on made it much worse.

We put together a strict diet for now, and she has started on our slippery elm to begin soothing the colon, the detox powder to absorb the diarrhea and form a gentle bulk, the bactotox to clean the inflammation, the cramp bark to relax the spasms with the D3 to further help the cramp bark and immunity. After 2 weeks there is much less blood, she has less pain, sweating and is beginning to sleep through the night. Her energy is returning and the dose of prednisone is going down. Her life is back. It will take some time and patience but is well worth it. I will continue to update her condition in the newsletters.

The Peeper Keeper formula received another nice little pat on it’s lid from a patient who reorders it for what her opthamologist diagnosed as increased pressure in her left eye bordering on glaucoma. She hadn’t been able to focus with that eye due to continual blurring but since taking the P.K. formula is having continual improvement. She also orders a few other formulas for blood pressure, lungs and bones, which I expect support the P.K. formula in its work.

Our trusty Kleanz formula for digestion and constipation and the TQH and EV for adrenal exhaustion elicited a re-order from a returning patient living in Arizona with a note saying: “Thanks Eve and staff! Your herbs are the only thing that work for me! Yay!” By golly, it makes it all worth while.

THANK YOU to the following people for referring others for help with their health: Diane Butman, Martha Ferguson, Lili Hunt, Joyce Kalil, Benita Karroll, Erin Lacy, Philip Littell, Jane Rogers and Lisa Urich.

Newsletter - February 2010

Dear patients and friends,

I’m very much looking forward to seeing you in LA somewhere during my weeks’s stay beginning February 11.th

We’ve been having a lot of fun with our Sunday mini-workshops and we’ll be at it once again this February 14th . The focus will be on the heart and this time the muscle testing will be for supplements and foods appreciated by this generous organ. These in turn will improve the functions of the circulatory system, which include high blood pressure, low blood pressure and cholesterol.

Joey will be working with us again and will bring some new muscle testing and balancing info after the completion of his first diploma course in “Touch for Health” (muscle testing). Some of it is pretty wild, including some trigger points to temporarily help ease the heart and calm blood pressure. The heart certainly is a compassionate organ, but it is wise not to mess with it unless we want the cardiologist to perform that little feat known in Victorian novels as “looking grave.”

We’ll also go over the heart’s partner, the smalll intestine, which will get us back into some digestive areas but from a different angle than in a prior workshop. This information will inspire us to think before sitting down at the table and starting the campaign against starvation.

Eleven people is our limit again as the workshop is being held at our smallish Culver City office. It is $19 as before, so if you would please cover that with your space reservation, it would be appreciated. Oh, and do keep in mind that that is Valentine’s day, which may actually be a plus, as it may put you in more of a mood to be swept off, or sweep yourself off, your feet.

Time is from 2.00-4.00 as per the usual and the usual number is 310-855-1111.

Garlic and other herbs for your immune system,
as well as for the organs listed above, will never be a wasted inclusion in your food. One of the ways we eat a lot of it is by making an olive tepanade which is delicious with rye toast or rice crackers. Just toss a can of drained black olives into your chopper. Add ¼ cup of olive oil and 4-6 cloves of garlic. Adding parsley to make it easier on the nose is optional. Chop and serve and voila!! I usually double the amount as it lasts in the refrigerator for a week.. Being a lazy cook and all. Of course keeping the Bactotox, Pneu, AHCC and Flu plus or Gripp-heel in your medicine chest is a given. I feel fortunate to hear stories of “I used to get so sick several times each winter for years. Not since I’ve taken these herbs.”

The following are two brand new testimonials for some better and some lesser known very old health problems: The first is by a young, handsome man preparing to marry and start a family:

"A few years ago I developed a horrible pilonidal cyst seemingly out of nowhere. I endured surgery, infections, multiple visits to surgeons who all wanted to do terrible things to eradicate the problem when the initial surgery failed. Now, admittedly I am a huge skeptic when it comes to things like herbs, holistic medicine... but after being in pain & discomfort for so long, my wife finally convinced me to see Eve, who explained to me that my problem was an underlying infection in my body that rooted itself in that area. She convinced me to drastically change my diet, take the "pilonidal cyst" herb regimine & within a few months the problem virtually disappeared. It has now been a year and although my diet has reverted back to some dairy & my herb intake has decreased, I credit Eve with literally saving my ass. As far as I am concerned, she is a miracle worker & in my case, a life saver. I am now sitting normally again with no problems & have my life back." -J. from LA

This next one is from a statement during a phone consult last week:

D from Massachusets had tried it all. The medical route, acupuncture and any well meant advice that came along. Then she used my “High Blood Pressure Therapy Pack” and my “Anxiety Therapy Pack” from our website for three months and said: “Your herbs ultimately regulated my blood pressure”. These therapy packs include Vervain, MNF, EV, and the F Formula.. Her feelings of anxiety are now also rare.

The third is an ode to our Joy formula. My patient and friend called for an appointment and to say “There’s been a miracle. I’ve been 5 years on Lexapro and I’m off it. It took one month. Only 1 month. I’ve tried on and off for years and could never do it. It was too horrible.” Admittedly we also worked on hormonal balance with the TQH and thyroidinum, which I’m sure helped as well. What a nice start to 2010.

David is much better. Minus 1 kidney, an aneurism and a football sized haematoma, he is back to LA this first week in February. We love our herbs for prevention and chronic diseases, but when it comes to a major trauma, God bless a good surgeon, which he fortunately had right here in Oregon. The local number in Culver City is, as always, 310-838-2527. He’s looking forward to seeing you and working again.

I thoroughly thank the following people for referring others that needed help:

Helena Apothaker, Siobhan Flynn, Sharon Lockhart, Laura London, Michael Siegman and Virginia Smith - several times.

 

Newsletter - January 2010

Dear patients and friends

This is a little updated holiday reminder. I will be in LA from Friday, January 8th through Thursday, January 14th. Then again from Thursday, February 11th through February 18th 2010. By then I expect we’ll all be ready to make up with our stomachs and agree to forget it ever happened. A little detoxing will enable our arteries heave a sigh of relief and start a grand 2010. DO have plenty of Herba-Kleanz on hand to clear the plumbing and the Nu-Liv to deal with the hangovers. As far as the emotional heave-ho’s of the holiday celebrations are concerned, keep in mind that there is always a certain dementia released when people of the same gene pool come together. Take a couple of caps of the Joy Formula and Vervain, a nice little bottle of red with just a hint of presumption and you’re off, a nice easy drive with all progressive ideas on acceleration forgotten.

We are having another little 2 hour workshop on Sunday the 10th of January from 2.00-4.00 p.m. The last one in October was fun and well attended and left us all wanting more. It will be on cleaning our long suffering livers, mollifying over-worked adrenal glands and nourishing the thyroid which feels put upon to take over for the adrenals. All this in turn will of course help the metabolism, the nervous system, skin and weight as well as aches and pains from painful joints. You will learn how to muscle test your family and friends for these areas and get a feel for which herbs and foods are prime for them.

Contribution will again be $19 and it will take place at the Culver City address. There will be 11of us and there are just 3 spaces left, so let me know. 310-855-1111 or be return e-mail.

Lately, life being somewhat hectic with David still recovering, I’m choosing three of the case histories that patients have generously shared with me in the last couple of weeks, as they are still fresh in my mind.

A woman who missed work for several days each month due to debilitating menstrual cramps, now claims she doesn’t even know it’s coming and is feeling better in general due to our fabulous Cramp Bark. Some people want an anti-inflammatory like AR plus with it to get rid of all pain, but not always. Cramp Bark is also a treat for us “elder folks,” especially for elder type joys like leg cramps, sciatica, and stiff necks.

A fun report was from an “elder” saying the combination of the Goat Weed (horny goat weed) and the O/N Formula is “great stuff, I can’t believe it really works.” Of course it is for the libido - a good indoor sport especially for this time of the year. As a nice side effect this combination is also a kidney and hormonal tonic.

A woman’s nasty dose of Positional Vertigo or vestibular labyrinthitis - or lets just say - dizzyness, disappeared very quickly after beginning the herbs. It was particularly bad when lying or looking down or in particular directions. She had spent months visiting specialists. We chose the Allertotal to deal with some specific allergies we figured out she had, the Ps:HW to clear possible yeast or other parasitic infection in her system and the Joy Formula for the attendant anxiety. She just told David that the herbs only took 2 weeks to work.

FYI, the website is being redone, as I’ve had a lot of complaints about the therapy packs being difficult to order or the site itself generally recalling dinosaur status. While that’s being done, please do call the toll-free number of 310-855-1111 to place your orders, or e-mail them to me at

doctoreve@evesherbs.com. To make up for the inconvenience, I’m offering 5 minute consults free, ½ hour consults are $45 and new patient 1 hour consults are $90 while I’m in Ashland. “Such a deal!” they cried.

I look forward to seeing you in the New Year, which I know will be a good one for you and me and our good health. Joey will not be available in Culver City between Christmas and New Year 2009. So PLEASE order your herbs now to last through January 2nd.

Best as always to you and yours, keep the Vervain or Calm Spirit handy for the holiday get-togethers along with the Kleanz Formula to keep the nerves calm and the plumbing moving, Cheery HoHo,

Doctor Eve

Newsletter - December 2009

Dear patients and friends

I will be in LA from 26th November through the 2nd December, and then return on Friday January 8th through Thursday, January 14th. By then I expect, we’ll all be ready to do a little holiday clean -up with a great sigh of relief. Remember, that if you are feeling like a particularly magnificent specimen of a wreck after holiday celebrations to have plenty of Herba-Kleanz on hand to clear the plumbing and the Nu-Liv to deal with the hangovers.

Also to that effect, I will offer another little 2 hour workshop on Sunday the 10th of January from 2.00-4.00 p.m. The last one in October was fun and well attended with the want of more.

Newsletter - October 2009

Dear patients and friends,

I hope you are enjoying the autumn as am I. It is beautiful up here in Ashland, but I'm looking forward to my time in L.A. which is coming right up. I fly in Friday, October 23rd and Saturday the 24th is already booked up. But if you need that day, DO check in for rescheduled openings, as they do happen. I'll be staying through Saturday, October 31st with openings available during that week.

Since this is a very short newsletter indeed, I'd just like to share with you some patient comments, regarding the herbs, from when I was last in town. A woman who had lost 30 lbs. during the last three months we have worked together, felt sure that the GB formula (fat processor) and the Bactotox played the leading role in her progress. She felt energized, which will happen when the gallbladder and digestion gets back to work and the unfriendly bacteria are shown the (back) door. The combination all but eliminated her junk food cravings - though I suspect that balancing her blood sugar with the Pan D2 and soothing her wild-with-exhaustion adrenal glands with the TQH herbs played the role of the "I could never have done it without you" acceptance speech.

The other good reminder was a patient who said that since she started the Devil's Claw (anti-inflammatory), she had no more low back pain - one of my own bug-a-boos. I tried it recently, and it made quite a difference after a stiffish work-out. For some people, especially those with arthritis, or any of the "itises", it works best as part of the AR Plus formula.

Anyway, rummage around for your Pan D-2 and/or Patic Fe, Sugar Free or Gymnemma, as Halloween is coming up - not to mention Thanksgiving - and have fun.

Can't wait to see you,

Eve

P.S. To set appointments for that week now, call 310-855-1111. Between 10/23 and 10/31, call the local Culver City number at: 310-838-2527, if you need that day.

P.P.S. A DO-IT-YOURSELF REFLEX TESTING WORK SHOP TO TEST YOUR OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

You’ll learn by hands-on how to check

1.the pancreas reflex for blood sugar ups and downs

2. The lungs for any mucous/congestion etc. colds, sinusitis etc.

3. The stomach for any digestive issues, bloating gas constipation etc.

Where: It will be at 4255 Baldwin Ave in Culver City. The limit is 11 people, so book it now with a $19 contribution per person.

When: Sunday, Oct. 25 from 2-4 p.m.

Newsletter - Fall 2008

NUTRITION, HERB, HOMEOPATHY AND CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY NEWS
A  QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER  FOR DR. EVE’S CLIENTS AND REFFERALS
________________________________________________________________________ 

Survival techniques for hurling ourselves
into the fray of the Holidays – Part 1

This newsletter should help our bodies to postpone abandoning the unequal struggle with destiny and gravity, and to help keep our waistline, health and sanity, which are always under attack between Halloween and New Year’s Day from the bushels of sugar thrust at us by loving family, friends and co-workers.  In preparation, I have put together another pancreas-coddling formula to cope with the onslaught (see “Sugar Free” below).

Our updated Web Site (EvesHerbs.com) and Newsletters

Sending our newsletter to a friend is easy now.  Current and back issues have been updated on our overhauled web site. Just go to EvesHerbs.com and click on Newsletters.  You may help someone in need.  It’s easy now to click on any health challenge topic of interest and receive some instant information on nutrition, Therapy Packs and case histories.  These are often convenient for long distance patients with or without consultations.

Our NEW sugar balance formula – “SUGAR FREE”

This new formula is an alternative to the straight Gymnemma as a single herb, to help us snicker at the sugar cravings and drop a few pounds as well.  This formula contains Gymnemma, American Ginseng and Cinnamon. 

Gymnemma many of you already know about.  It is so supportive to the pancreas that in Europe it is used for diabetes.  American Ginseng is back in the news for diabetics as well as prediabetics.  Recent studies at the University of Toronto highlighted the herb’s ability to regulate blood sugar surges after meals, notably in type II diabetics.

There is mounting evidence to suggest that American Ginseng improves diabetes control, reducing associated risk factors such as hyperlipidemia (excess fat in the blood - another holiday abundance) and hypertension.  One of the main reasons I like using ginseng, as in my 50/50 formula for the adrenals, for instance, is that all ginsengs are adaptogens; i.e., they help the body adjust to new circumstances and unusual stresses, very common during the holidays.  Its reputation as an anti-aging herb that improves sexual function is primarily due to the fact that its long-term use improves overall health, and that, as you can imagine, is likely to restore sexual interest.  But watch out, it is also known to increase sperm production and motility.  Wanted pregnancies have occurred even sooner than expected.

Cinnamon is an ancient “new” discovery.  It is now understood that regularly ingesting this spice not only helps to harmonize blood sugar, but can also regulate cholesterol and fat levels.

The Sugar Fix – from the pancreas’ point of view

“Sorry, but I needed to get your attention, so I had to get to you where you’d inevitably notice – looking in the mirror.  You look about as cheery as a Russian novel and your mood swings are positively dizzying.  Also, perhaps you’ve not really minded ‘maturing,’ but lately the process seems rather over zealous.  You feel a tad queasy and your middle seems to be bloating up overnight.  Your energy fluctuates between racing around like a scalded cat and passing out on the sofa, and these energy shifts are happening more frequently.

“You see, during your healthy jags, when you quit bombarding me with what is loosely considered to be food, my insulin facilitates the transfer of blood sugar into your liver, muscle and fat cells.  Among America’s 18 million type 2 diabetes sufferers, however, these insulin signals become blocked, preventing glucose from entering cells and causing it to back up in the bloodstream.  This “insulin resistance” can ultimately set off a dangerous chain reaction, wherein I, at first, have to overproduce, then under produce insulin in an attempt to counteract the glucose imbalance.  Frankly, I’m beat.  A break is in order.  You don’t have to be a monument to culinary denial, but eat some vegetables, dang it! Eat some fish! Eat some clean proteins!! Quit with the sugar or I quit – really you don’t want that.  If I do, you’ll have yeast and skin rashes all over the place not to mention needing insulin pills and shots, which, trust me, you won’t like, not to mention a body that becomes more and more difficult to propel.

“Start with the herbs you just read about, they’ll help with the cravings, and then take a look at the Hypoglycemia, Diabetes and the Pancreas diet in ‘Feeling very much Better.’  And so you will – feel much better that is - I love you too.”

A week’s fall vacation for the Campanellis

We will be out of town for a week in mid-October, but Gabriela or Philip will be here to take and send orders and make appointments.

Getting off MEDS --- some inspirational case histories

L. F. came in because she was lowering her Cymbalta. One of the side effects is a terrifying anxiety, rapid pulse, a nervous system out of control and a libido that had resolutely left home.  She knew about yoga, deep breathing and positive visualization.  None of these were to any avail since it’s the autonomic nervous system, the one we have no conscious control over, that’s in charge of these symptoms.  No matter how much we invite the nervous system to calm down during these kinds of withdrawals, it just ignores the invitation.  We used herbal formulas to help the nervous system, her stress response and sleeping patterns.  She’s doing fine, especially for a “devout skeptic.”  Her symptoms improved 25% after a week, and her libido came back.  Her husband owes me….

R.L. on his first visit to me had been taken off Ambien for 10 days.  He was experiencing panic attacks, even though he only ever took  “a tiny bit”, which, by the way, is not unusual.  He perspired a lot and his pulse was high.  His little cough, which he had endured most of his life, was more annoying.  He was traveling a lot for his work and was having trouble dealing with any stress.  I used the S Formula for his stress management, and the Sleeper Formula at night and, if necessary, a little during the day if he felt his pulse going up again.  He definitely had a blood sugar imbalance, as was clear from occasional dizziness and disorientation, for which we used the Gymnemma.  We used the Allertotal and Bactotox for his cough.  After two weeks, he said he was “just getting better.”  He suffered no more panic attacks, loved the Sleeper Formula and felt more even in his blood sugar response with no dizziness.  A month later, the last time I saw him, he said everything was better.  No panic attacks, no cough after years of it, and a calm nervous system.  We’ve started lowering the herb doses.  He just orders the herbs now, and in a few months will work up a maintenance nutritional herb program.  He was so happy he bought a gift certificate for someone else in need.

“Road Back” patient J. M. said, “I feel like I’ve tried everything and was going broke doing it.  A complete waste.” You see, one of the nice things about using herbs to cleanse the poisons out of the body is that their detoxification work is gentle, but firm.  While withdrawing, most days are a steady improvement.  Then, occasionally, there are a few hours or a day where the liver feels it is ready for a somewhat bigger heave-ho, which is uncomfortable and can be frustrating.  This, however, becomes more rare and short-lived and we can move on and feel good.

Case Histories

Sleeping on a jet plane – V.F.B., a very frequent flier, swears by the Sleeper Formula.  “I just take 4 at once, and an hour after takeoff, I’m out – with no hangover when I arrive.  I love it.”

S.W. thought it would take a while to get pregnant and was pleasantly surprised when no time was wasted.  Happy congratulations are due.  Her husband loves the Goat Weed Formula and Bilica, and feels they are the reason he ran a marathon in his best time ever.  Her mother’s insomnia was resolved with the MNF and Sleeper Formula.  She had been taking Ambien, an addictive sleep drug. 

A.P., a 20-year-old student orthobionomist, had been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis in June 2007.  She had been having chronic urinary tract infections and one kidney infection in September 2006.  She still went to classes but her pain made it hard to concentrate and her energy was low.  She had no sex drive and felt “weird and emotional.”  She had been treated with Heparin catheter injections and amitriptyline (an antidepressant), which made her hallucinate.   She stopped that, but, because of continued pain, she was still on Ultram, an opiate painkiller to which she was addicted.  She had frequent bouts of vomiting linked to anxiety, her gums bled and she had migraines.  She had trouble swallowing and severe menstrual and ovulation cramps.  There were also two yeast infections and rectal itching.

She started with the Blend R:I, Bilica, ACP and Gentian Root and I didn’t see her for a month.  She felt sufficiently improved to stop taking the Ultram.  Her anxiety from it and her pain were all but gone.  Her energy was improving and the rest of her symptoms were heading that way, though not entirely resolved.  She expects this will happen when she has a kitchen and can start eating real food again.  Her mom was thrilled, when she came in for herself recently, that her daughter was off the drugs.

Just a little aside for those who have asked:
