Children

We grew up with bad eating habits, we want to change it and change it as soon as possible.

First of all, thank you for sharing your very educational and inspirational book, "The Cure". This book should be in every household in America! I have already been sharing it with family and friends, although, I, myself, haven't begun my transformation in eating habits. We live in an area that has only Wal-Mart as our main source of grocery shopping and I'm sure you know what their fruits and vegetables look like! I have a couple of questions that I hope can be answered. My husband and I have 3 young children. We grew up with bad eating habits, as most people have, and have passed this down to our own children. I want to change it and change it as soon as possible. The questions is...how? Our girls are so used to eating nuggets and mac 'n' cheese. Like you said in your book, they, too, are conditioned to eating the sugared cereals for breakfast. I just don't know how to start new with them. HELP! Thanks, Suzy Get The Answers

I want to increase my kid's appetite.

I have two kids, a 9year old and a 4year old. They are underweight, and so were their grandpa, dad, and step brother when they were little. The doctors tell me to feed them more, but that is the problem, they do not get hungry. They are also seasonal allergy sufferors, but thanks to reading Dr. Brantley's book, their allergies are undercontrol. I want them to have a healthy appetite. Get The Answers

Cleansing

Rescue Me packets contain small and large capsules. Why?

Many people have asked the same question. Rescue Me contains 2 different herbal formulas: Active Enzymes Plus and Total Body Detox. The small capsules are Active Enzymes Plus and the larger capsules are Total Body Detox. If you are sensitive, have chronic digestive problems, have never cleansed before or you have been a major junk food eater, then we always suggest that you start slowly. Start your whole body detox with 1 small capsule (Active Enzymes Plus) and 1 large capsule (Total Body Detox) with a glass of water, before bed. It is always wise to initiate detoxification slowly, so that your body can handle the elimination of stored toxins. Thanks for your question Janni! Get The Answers

Chronic Bronchitis and Drowning in Mucous!

When I was a kid, I used to get chronic bronchitis. And to this day, everytime I get sick, it goes right to my chest. My grandmother used to give me this spicy remedy that really seemed to break up all the mucous in my lungs. She had all kinds of home remedies up her sleeve. But she died about 5 years ago, and that remedy went with her. Do you have any idea what I can do to help my lungs? When I get sick, I feel like I am drowning in mucous! Get The Answers

Constipation

I am suffering from constipation. I am in constant fatigue, and sometimes I have some dizzy spells.

I am suffering from constipation. I am in constant fatigue, and sometimes I have some dizzy spells. My joints sometimes ache, especially at night. I do eliminate 3-4 times a day but it seems like it is not enough. I eat white rice sometimes 3x a day with meat like chicken, beef, pork and fish, occasionally some vegetables and also I eat sushi and sashimi. I do drink lots of ice cold water with my meals. Occasionally I drink some sodas and I also drink wine, coffee and tea. I am not much of a fast food eater but occasionally I do purchase them. I hope I have given you enough information to give me any advice that will help me and my family to gain back our health. Teresa P. Get The Answers

Detoxification

I was so inspired by your book that I have been eating 95% raw for at least 5 weeks now.

I was so inspired by your book that I have been eating 95% raw for at least 5 weeks now. I was eating pretty well before so I was able to transition pretty easily to raw. I wish it could be 100% raw and I am working towards that. My energy level has drastically improved, although at times I feel the effects of my body detoxing. There have been many positive changes in my health...weight loss etc. The one area I still need help with is my elimination process. I ate so many sugary sweet foods for many years as well as other unhealthy stuff that I feel I need to clean my colon before I truly benefit from the raw food diet. I got your eliminator supplement and have used it for about 6 days and it has helped somewhat. I need advice as to how I should truly clean out my colon. Do you have any suggestions of where to get good colonics in the New York area or any suggestions for alternate methods? Thanks, Robert Get The Answers
