We can illustrate its function by considering water in lakes, rivers and some areas of the sea. If these become so congested, cannot flow and run properly what is the outcome? What can be called Dead Zones resulting in dead fish, unhealthy conditions for all, with the area of water affected becoming far too low in dissolved oxygen to sustain life.

This can happen in our bodies — look at the picture above, we do not want our blood to become like this. If it did then the liver would struggle to keep healthy. We would feel tired, fatigued, worn out, sluggish, even bad tempered and angry.

Plus if the situation escalated, then it is very serious because if the liver stops functioning death would follow within the day.

So we need to care for our livers and need to improve liver function?

The liver performs many tasks, including:

• Making over 1,000 different enzymes to manage chemical conversions
• Helps with digestion of food
• Destroys bacteria, preventing serious infections from developing
• Protects from caffeine and various drugs
• Filters out death dealing poisons produced within the body — such as Lactic Acid and Ammonia
• Regulates the hormones in our bodies, keeping them in proper balance.
• Helps clear thinking and brain sharpness
• Helps the strength of muscles
• Contributes to the make up of the blood and the beat of the heart.
• Regulates the flow of the blood to the heart.
• Produces Fibrinogen and Prothrombin, which cause the blood to clot.
• Produces Heparin, an anticoagulant, which keeps the blood from becoming fatally thick or clotted.

The liver is one of the busiest and most versatile organs in the body. You can live even if your live is 15% active, but personally I would prefer to have 100%.

Is the liver worth supporting? Of course, for our health and our life.

To keep the liver healthy we need to eat a proper balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Foods can be especially beneficial for liver function are:

• Artichokes
• Brown rice
• Finely grated carrots
• Dried pears
• Mangoes
• Radishes
• Beetroot and if possible the beet leaves.
• Apples and apple juice

Also a hearty laugh helps, both young and old can benefit from laughing.

In many people, particular the young, the liver is also kept in shape by exercise, including running, jumping and throwing activities.

Using FMS LGB Herbal Compound Tincture to support the liver function is beneficial.

It can be taken or used as a Transdermal Herbal Combination massaged on the bottom of the feet, as shown below, also, FMS Balm/Deep Balm or FMS Cream should be used on the areas indicated on the chart.

Massage FMS Balm into areas shown in these pictures, normally for 2 to 5 minutes on large areas, or 30 seconds on small areas. Alternatively place Balm on a gauze and place over area of pain, attaching gauze with non-allergic plaster that breathes. This can be left 24 hours a day, after showering re-apply until feeling better

Place feet in to hot water, then dry. Apply 6 drops of Transdermal Herbal Combination on the bottom of both feet, massage for 30 seconds, put on a pair of cotton socks and allow the therapy to work

Kidneys are like master chemists, they maintain the water level in the blood, keeping the exact mineral balance, controlling the acid/alkaline balance for each day.

When we take medicine regularly, as an example aspirin or other popular pain killers, they can cause your kidneys a problem, which could even lead to kidney disease. Narcotics can cause severe damage to our kidneys.

One of the most damaging conditions for the kidneys is hardening of the arteries, or a worn out heart both producing a reduction of blood supply. This results in the kidneys becoming lax in their job leading to waste pile up, which causes imbalances leading to nephron destruction, nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney.

Fortunately the kidneys have remarkable regenerative powers, if they are given half a chance.

If we face problems, such as noted above, wise medical and dietary management can provide many years of life. To ease the job of the kidneys we should watch our weight, keep our blood pressure normal, exercise, but not to violently, and correct the amount of water intake.

• Emotions affect the kidneys
• A frightened child may wet
• Over emotional states can shut the kidneys down
• Getting chilled can cause the production of more urine
• Anger produces can cause the production of more urine
• Alcohol can cause the production of more urine

So it appears to be a good idea to look after these incredible organs set so deep inside us.

HELP

From time to time it would be helpful to support the urinary system by using Herbal Transdermal cleansing to gently stimulate toxin elimination.

• FMS Formula KB should be massaged on the bottom of the feet, as shown on the chart below.
• The areas on the top of the feet, also up the back of the legs and on other indicated areas of the body, should be lightly massaged with FMS Balm.
• If there is pain in any of these areas, then after lightly massaging the Balm place a gauze over the area and leave for 24 hours, after showering or bathing, repeat the process until completely comfortable. To allow the body to absorb the FMS Balm quickly and effectively, some times a piece of transparent cling film can be placed over the gauze.

Massage FMS Balm into areas shown on these two pictures, for 2 to 5 minutes on large areas and 30 seconds over small areas. Alternatively place FMS Balm on a gauze, place over area of pain, attaching gauze with breathable non-allergic plaster, which can be left 24 hours a day, after showering re-apply until feeling better

Place feet into hot water, then dry. Apply 6 drops of Transdermal Herbal Combination on the bottom of both feet, massage for 30 seconds, put on a pair of cotton socks and allow the therapy to work

DIET

Diet is important for good urinary function; as a preventative of some of the most uncomfortable situations and even problematic conditions.

As example

• Asparagus, carrots and celery combined into a very nutritious fresh juice, which is taken daily can do a lot of good.
• Use mung beans to detoxify, making them into a soup with carrots, celery, asparagus, leeks, onions and a little garlic, very simple and nutritious.
• For a main meal it is better to use chicken, fish or light proteins, unless you have a serious kidney disease, then your primary practitioner will give you a list of animal proteins that will NOT improve your condition. High sodium intake is also harmful.
• Mixed fruit salads are beneficial. Salads including figs, plums and blueberries, which are all antioxidants but also reduce inflammation and improve urinary tract health. You could also add a few cranberries as an immune system stimulant, then to sweeten add a little bit of banana with bio-natural yogurt, topped with a sprinkling of sweet green grapes.
• Make a refreshing long drink of watermelon juice, which very effectively cleans out the kidneys

BUT don’t forget to drink pure water, not sodas.

From ancient times bathing was used to alleviate congested organs like the liver, kidneys, lymph glands and most interestingly the skin.

Although a problem may appear in one part of the body it does not necessarily mean that it is that precise organ that is in trouble, it is possible the cause is elsewhere in the body, because there is a deeper relationship involving energy channels (meridians). Understanding this relationship makes it easier to understand that everything influences everything else.

As the skin is the largest organ of the body why not use it, as mentioned in my previous post, it the reason that natural hot water baths, hot springs and thermal spas have been popular throughout history. I mentioned in that post about using the feet for Transdermal Therapy, can easily be done at home.

Tips and techniques for using pure Transdermal Herbal Combinations/FMS Creams & FMS Balms

When we feel under the weather, putting your feet in nice warm water and then applying pure Herbal Combinations is really beneficial, and feels good too.

In today’s world we are forever being told we can’t take this herb or that herb, we can’t take a particular vitamin or mineral, but we are often advised that it is OK to take all the pharmaceutical drugs we are prescribed, even though they are chemical. This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t listen to our primary health care provider, but we should be allowed to also choose which herb, oil and supplement to use or apply — and these are organic and biological too.

To avoid any problems with the traditional ‘taking’ of herbs, why not massage the needed herbs onto the bottom of your feet, and let the body do the rest.

The Famous herbalist, Maurice Messegue, used treatment by osmosis, the transport of water and other molecules across biological membranes. Messegue found this therapy to be very effective, since the main healing ingredients rapidly penetrated the skin and at times reached the needed areas faster than those taken orally.

The pores on the soles of our feet are quite large, meaning it is a really good absorption area, see my last post and trying garlic rubbed into the soles of your feet.

Transdermal Herbal Combination & FMS Cream/Balm, application to the feet or the body, can help as follow: 

• Improve circulation
• Strengthen the immune system
• Breakdown mucous accumulation as in respiratory problems
• Relax the nervous system
• Help to detoxify all systems

Even adding the Combinations, Creams and Balms to a bath can help; Cleopatra soaked in milk and rose petals and look what it did for her!  

This demonstrates that the skin is highly absorbent, working through its delicate layer, Transdermal Herbal Combinations and FMS Cream/Balms are ideal agents for this.

Hands and feet are the most sensitive parts of the human body, as all the nerves end up on the hands and feet, and even though the skin in these areas is thick it absorbs any herbal constituents with saily, allowing them to pass into the blood stream.

In his remedy books Messengue recommended the use of foot baths for 8 minutes in the evening, and hand baths for 8 minutes in the morning

This can be done with the Transdermal Herbal Combinations by simply massaging them right into warmed dry skin, followed up by putting on white cotton socks, with the Herbal Combinations being absorbed very quickly into the body.

In modern times we see the same principal being used with nicotine, estrogen and nitroglycerine patches, all providing a quick and successful outcome, how? By transferring the “product” through the skin

It takes us back to medical basics.

Think of the Dead Sea, the benefit gained from bathing this body of water comes from the minerals absorbed through the skin. The benefits are high concentrations of magnesium in the water along with iodine in the air, which is taken up by the lungs. So being near to the Dead Sea and paddling on the seashore brings benefit — through having just your feet in the magnesium rich water while breathing in the iodine rich air.

Why would transdermal therapy work?

The skin is the largest organ of our body, it can breath in nutrients and it’s able to expel toxins and wastes. Our skin will also absorb whatever we put on it or bring into to contact with it.

It is, hence, an ideal avenue of entrance for nutrition without harmful, toxic side affects.

Bypassing the stomach and liver means a much greater percentage of the active ingredient goes straight into the bloodstream and then transported to where it is needed.

The ‘intelligence’ of the herbal tincture used, along with the body’s own ‘intelligence’ will then ensure that it arrives at its destination.

You can sit back and enjoy transdermal herbal therapy in your own home, it is so versatile that everyone can use this method and benefit from it. Knowing that what you are doing will support your immune, hormonal, digestive and nervous systems.

Using the Feet

Place your feet in hot water, dry them and apply the correct herbal tincture followed up with putting on a pair of white cotton socks,. Once you have completed these steps the therapy starts.

To discover how effective transdermal therapy is using just the feet try this experiment:

Prepare your feet as above
Rub a half a peeled garlic clove on the soles of your feet
Put on the socks as described

Now see how long it takes to get the taste of garlic in your mouth. Get the Point!

Incredible isn’t it? Why not use this natural highway to a better and improved health life.

Advice for Therapists and Health Carers

By Mary Staggs ND, PhD.

After so many years working in the health care field it seems to be a good idea to talk about every day occurrences and experiences we have had during these years.

It is amazing how many times we have seen patients/clients only being treating for symptoms and nobody trying to find out the cause. Our wish is that we can help you identify items or situations that could be contributing our patients/clients bad health.

What do you, as a natural health provider advice when a patient/client comes into your office and says “I feel absolutely terrible. My muscles ache, I have pain all over, my memory is terrible, my feet and legs are swelling, and I have no sex drive at all”

Where do you start?

The answer from many health providers is to diagnose or suggest Fibromyalgia.

But we really need to find out:

1. What does the person consumes? (See below).
2. Do the Barnes temperature test. (Contact me if you need to know how) According to the results find out about using THS FORMULA, Traditional Herbal Remedy designed to support and aid wellbeing of the thyroid, when in a hypo state.
3. Do the Adrenal/Kidney test. (Contact me if you need to know how)
4. Stop all synthetic vitamins. Coming off all synthetic vitamins will bring quick relief, and those that can come off prescription drugs will be even better off! Remember that injections of all types, antibiotics and vaccines, are major causes of fibromyalgia, check for yourselves.
5. They should go on a low-carbohydrate diet and come off all wheat and grains for at least 30 days and see how they do, longer if needed.
6. Just adopting these suggestions could really help the sufferer.
7. Look for any underlying infection.
8. People who do not respond will need an individualized protocol developed. We can do this if needed with our HEALTH KITS, contact us for more information.

Case study:

Like a CSI (Crime Scene Investigator) we need to look for evidence. Where do we look, well int his situation the client/patients body is the crime scene.

Let consider a case that came to my attention awhile back.

Victim A: Very ill, lifeless, practically no movement, no obvious outward wounds or attacks, must be an INSIDE JOB! not deceased, YET!

Investigation over 4 years.

Investigators. X-RAY, CAT SCANS, BLOOD TESTS, BIOPSIES and so on, followed up with lots of prescription drugs, but Victim A didn’t know for what symptoms these drugs were administered for!

RESULT- Nothing found. Maybe Multiple Sclerosis, time will tell, or is it all in the head, but nothing was found. — THEY HAVE GONE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION -

Now the patient/client approaches a therapist, who also needs to look for evidence, although there seemingly isn’t any and the original doctors aren’t idiots, they have used everything at their disposal but come up blank. What can be done?

HAS ANY ONE THOUGHT OF ASKING “What do you eat and drink”? Which is simple

In this case Victim A reported: “I drink 8 to 12 diet sodas daily.”

Further investigation reveals: ASPARTAME as the main sweetener, sometimes marketed as NutraSweet. The dangers of aspartame are now widely known, check the web. This isn’t a vendetta on sweeteners, but evidence is evidence. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, or in this case the drinking!

SOLUTION. Check the evidence, does this follow through as to the culprit. In this case remove the cause, in other words quit drinking the stuff!

Not that this is easy, as these concoctions are habit forming, but give the body a chance, it is cheap and less aggressive.

RESULT. Within two days this victim was able to walk, in one month she was 95 percent back to normal.

SIMPLE and INCREDIBLE

My name is Mary Staggs, I am a 74 year old practitioner still working and living in the south of Spain, treating people from all over the world, some living here in Spain, but many flying in and visiting us for treatment. It’s quite interesting how they hear about us as we don’t advertise, it is all by word of mouth.

Things have changed so much over the years, back in the days of my grandparents we used to toddle off into the country side and look for herbs to help family and friends with minor complaints. No one thought about the time needed to hunt for beneficial herbs and plants, then the additional time in the preparation of each concoction or infusion; even boiling up lots of different kinds of plants to make a foot bath, quite a lot of work.

It worked then but that wouldn’t do today, there’s not enough time, and not many places free of pollution. Lets face it instant coffee, instant tea, instant dinners, instant  soup and so on. Then, last but not least, take a PILL, instant pain release, anti-acids by the hundreds, prozac or diazepam (old name valium) for instant anxiety relief!

It all seems to spell out instant illness, even death. No one wants to grow old, but it is seems about the only way to gain experience in life!

So can we use the natural, and often older remedies to improve things, albeit without the instancy of the modern age?

How careful should we be, either in natural therapy/treatments and/or allopathic medical practices?

We all know about taking the lemon and oil treatment for gallstones, but word of caution, what happens if you have high blood pressure, possible heart problems or, heavens forbid, the potential for a stroke, then lemon and oil will not do. If you start to vomit on all that oil, you are likely to force yourself into further trouble.

Hence, these more natural treatments work for some ailments and people, but not for others. The lesson: what is good for the goose, may not be good for the gander!

Allopathic drugs? There is a need, but does that mean we should take so many, and when the amount given no longer helps, often the next step seems to be: “Lets just up it a bit!”

How about helping ourselves a bit, what can we do?

Please follow my posts on this website and, hopefully, you discover there is a lot we can achieve in improving our well being and general health.

Just putting your feet into the warm, salted water and relaxing while the Array runs a very low current through the water is relaxing enough, but to see the change in the colour of clean, clear water to possible a thick, brown stinking ooze is dramatic and shocking — not that the “output” is anything in itself.

The appearance of colours, bubbles and the changes in the tension of the waters surface, as well as the change in pH, indicates that the unit is functioning correctly, producing an electrical current in the water and that polarity is being generated by the electrodes in the “array”.

The result is electrolysis and the generation of an electromagnetic field. Electrolysis provokes the precipitation of those substances with ionic capacity that is in the water, on the skin or in the pores of the person who has their feet submerged in the foot bath.

The water, due to its content of ionic salts, remains magnetised and being in close contact with the corporal liquids facilitates the extension of this field towards the interior of the body. As it is the feet that are being treated, which have many reflex zones, these experience stimulation by the electromagnetic energy that is being generated resulting in the stimuli being propagated to the different organs and systems.

The system is a fast, effective and inoffensive way of stimulating and balancing the bio-energetic field of the body, facilitating better organ function and auto-detoxification. Remember that if you are 30, 40 or 50 years old then you have spent as many years getting to your present state of health and toxicity.
