Hello, dear Yulia Evgenievna! I really hope that you are doing well and that you are in good health!

There is wonderful news about my sister: the metastases disappeared in the right m.zh. everything is clear.

I think it is important that she went to confession and the sacrament of the Unction was performed on her.

She drank the collection recommended by you for 2 months, I added spring Adonis, Dill seed, Field horsetail to her. She applied cream with Aconite on her breasts and lymph nodes. Now brewing Reishi Mushroom from Sagan-Dail. Digoxin did not drink all this time, she brewed jaundice. I started drinking lantoside, jaundice does not drink yet. Candles Tiofan m put weeks 3, while a break. Again she started the hemlock hill, although I brought her a tincture of Morison Gorichnik.

The most important thing now is not to relax, the enemy - the tumor has remained, could you advise how to fight it further?

I think we will break through, especially since there are people like you and your wonderful team in the world. Low bow to all of you.

Regarding the sister's son: the collection drinks constantly, for all this time there were only two attacks of epilepsy. Thank you very much.

I'll take some more of your precious time. This year I insisted on giving the kids (I have six grandchildren) with a cold. in powder and instilled into the nose, after January they practically did not get sick.

I really hope for an answer, each of your letters is a nervous discharge for me.

I want to talk about the dynamics of my treatment. According to the ultrasound, they put me: the omission of the kidneys on both sides, more on the right, but only the left kidney hurts. I am thin, the muscular corset has weakened, since I don’t go in for sports because of osteochondrosis of the spine. I have a suspicion that right kidney she was always a little lowered by nature, and on the left she lowered herself, maybe after a cesarean section.

So. It was not possible to immediately redeem the herbs, and the tests were very bad and bacteria were then sown in the urine. Enterobacteriaceae sensitive to norfloxacin and ciprolet. I began to take nolicin for 9 days, it helped, the doctor prescribed it. Acute pyelonephritis began, I managed to do it in time, nolitsin 2 times a day, cystone 2 tablets 3 times a day for 10 days and no shpa. Then the doctor prescribed Horsetail for 2 weeks, then a break for 10 days, and Bearberry for 2 weeks, and so for 3 months. I managed to drink horsetail for 14 days, then herbs and nuxaden came, I began to insert candles and drink a decoction according to your recipe.

After the first day of admission, the left kidney fell ill, but somehow the spasms were not strong, and in the morning sand came out - I had never had this before. The spasms have stopped, sometimes, however, it is the left kidney that still sips. I began to stand on my knees and elbows 2 times a day for 10-15 minutes. I passed urine only once - a week after the end of antibiotics: no protein, leukocytes 1-2, epithelial cells flat 2-5. No salts, no bacteria, but the density is small - 1007.

My husband's kidneys do not hurt, he is generally healthy, only the oxalate stone came out in the summer, and 10 years ago he was also hospitalized with renal colic, but no stones were found, apparently the sand came out. After my sand came out, he wanted to drink my herbs for prevention, is it possible? Recommend him some collection.

Thank you in advance, thanks for the advice and treatment, thank God I feel better. Thank you very much for your care and concern for your patients.

Hello, our dear Yulia Evgenievna!
I am urgently writing to you about Sergei's mother, Lydia Nikolaevna. We don’t see her often, once every 1-1.5 months, and for two of our visits we have noticed that she has lost a lot of weight. In addition, she constantly lies, does not go out into the street (only if necessary). We were worried, sounded the alarm. There was no use from local doctors, we took her to Minsk and conducted some examinations there. And finally, we found out that my mother is registered with a psychiatrist for dementia on the background of Alzheimer's disease.
The most interesting thing is that the therapist in whom she is observed told us a completely different diagnosis - binswanger's disease. In general, I will not describe our negative emotions about how much everyone (not only doctors, but also relatives who are next to her every day or week) does not care. For some reason, these people have a reaction that everything, this is the end, nothing will be better, there is nothing to even try, etc. But it is unbearable for us to watch how lonely she is there, how they say in her presence that nothing will be better, that she will not last long, etc. And she understands everything!
I will briefly try to describe her condition: she understands everything that you say to her, remembers where everything is, but she cannot speak (always practically repeats "oh-oh-oh", especially when she gets excited, but you can constantly say that she is worried, because she realizes that with it happens and can not do anything, plus the irritation of others on her behavior). eats very little, you need to force it, if you want to eat and not on the table in a plate of food - he takes everything he sees, bites off a cookie and immediately a sausage, for example (the diet with her sick stomach and diabetes is not observed). On the last visit, they noticed that they could no longer cope with going to the toilet (wipes with his hand, often goes to the toilet in small steps, but to no avail (it is impossible to collect a urine test). He can put on a lot of unnecessary clothes, then takes off and puts on again, folds and unfolds again and so on several times, all this is accompanied by "oh-oh-oh", when someone shows impatience for her - she is completely lost, ceases to understand anything.
She spent a day in Minsk and it was a big stress for her. She tried to open the doors, behaved like she was in a cage (we were later told that in her condition it was extremely undesirable for her to leave familiar places). On the road, and this is 300 km only in one direction, I was very afraid if cars were driving close, etc.
An example of our communication: - Oh-oh-oh. - Mom, what happened? Are you in pain? - Oh-oh-oh... no. - Do you want to eat? - Oh-oh-oh... no. - Do you want to go to the toilet? - Oh-oh-oh... (begins to cry). - Mom, everything is fine, now we will figure out what you want. - Oh-oh-oh... (calms down). - Are you looking for something? Slippers? Dress?
Well, this is how we try to talk to her. From Minsk, with the results of the examination, we arrived at the district center to the clinic and began to draw up the 1st disability group for her, on September 5 there will be a commission (thanks to the neurologist in Minsk for telling us what to do in general!). These are the unfortunate events.
Yulia Evgenievna, since September 3, Sergei has a vacation of 2 weeks, we will go to his parents and will closely deal with his mother. I believe that it is possible to restore her interest in life, she is completely different with children, she talks to them, carries Vanya in her arms, smiles, plays with him. When I put on a new dress for her, combed her hair, took her outside - she blossomed and did not want to go into the house! I'm sure all is not lost! You just need a lot of patience and strength when dealing with her. Now she is taking Metformin, Gliclazide (added by the endocrinologist, due to the last result of glucose - 10.7), Chlorprothixen, Clozapine. We understand that the collection of herbs can be an excellent base, and these medicines (I'm talking about the last two in particular) can only be used in the most emergency cases accept. I don’t want to drive her into a vegetative state, even though it is so convenient for others. I ask you to help, we have 2 weeks to try to change her life and change the minds of those close to her.
Sergey took everything as you wrote, 2 lemons went well for him, he took it like that for almost 10 days, and then this situation with his mother and only the collection, and we managed to take cornflower. For the last 2 days, his throat has bothered him, he has a runny nose, his legs have been twisting a lot, without fever. The work schedule is crazy, there is no time to take an analysis, and I'm at home with the kids, they also got snotty, but they are on the mend. We will try to pass the OAM on Friday, I feel the result of the analysis will certainly change against the background of the infection.
Looking forward to your letter!

Hello everyone!
Olya, now I'm ready to lament like Lidia Nikolaevna!
Only "Oh-oh-oh" comes to mind - everything falls down, as always on you! (((

Hello Yulia Evgenievna!

Thank you so much for helping me with my double eye. I did everything according to your recipes. You can say cured, but there is still a little residual effects. I have a different question. You know that I got poisoned by aconite through my own fault, from an overdose.

Hello dear Ilya!

Now everything has become clear! You are being treated truly heroically, and this is cruel to yourself! But, nevertheless, "burning yourself with milk, blowing on water" is not necessary! , this is poison to all poisons. You drank a 10% tincture, and this is an ordinary fortress, provided you take it according to the slide scheme, from 1 initial drop!

I think that it is possible to repeat the drip, but more carefully - from 1 drop twice a day, adding 1 drop daily per dose. Make the peak of the slide at 20 drops and go down. Otherwise, only the red fly agaric, in the finished tincture, can be compared with.

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

And, before saying "Goodbye", Ilya, once again I ask you to write the address carefully - in May there were no letters from you!

Good evening, dear consultants!

Please clarify my situation with a disease that I have been suffering from for 5 years! And gradually, the condition worsens. A disabled person of the 2nd group due to a disease, below I will describe an extract from the hospital (hospital of a gastroenterological profile).

Chronic recurrent pancreatitis, exacerbation. multiple calcifications of the pancreas. Function deficiency external secretion medium severity. Phes. liver hemangioma - 8 mm. adhesive disease of the abdominal organs.

Blood test: L - 6.7, Er - 4.36, Hb - 153, platelets - 223, n - 3, s - 62, l - 28, m - 6, e - 1, b - 1.

Biochemistry: total protein- 75.9, ALT - 18.4, AST - 22.8, total bilirubin- 15.4, urea - 4.0, sugar - 6.9, CRP - 1.6, amylase - 4.6. Urinalysis: no pathology; amylase (at admission - 692, at discharge - 151).

Coprogram: not formalized, soft, Brown color, reaction to blood is negative; connective tissue - not detected; neutral fat 0-1; fatty acid 2-3; soaps 1-2; not digested 1-2; digestible 0-1; detritus - a large number of; leukocytes, erythrocytes, epithelium, protozoa, worm eggs - not detected.

Hello, dear Dmitry Ivanovich!

Of course your bad feeling and mood, weakness and apathy can be understood - the main digestive gland works with very low efficiency - calcifications interfere. We take all the energy from food, where does it come from with such a diet? Apparently, once you suffered severe acute pancreatitis, then repeated attacks. Each inflammation ends either with the complete resorption of the focus, or the healthy tissue is replaced by connective tissue.

All this should be used.

Also, your blood sugar is high. It is quite possible that the inflammation has touched the islets of insulin synthesis, so you need to donate blood for GG - glycated hemoglobin, which will reflect the average sugar for the past 3 months.

The heart is like rapid pulse at rest, it is a sign of heart failure.

I do not know your preparations, but I know that herbs should be added to them:

Grind to powder, store tightly. Eat 1 tsp on an empty stomach. 20 minutes before each meal, with a sip of warm water. Course - 2 months.

2.0 g of dry grass pour 100.0 ml of 60% alcohol, leave for 7 days, strain and drink 10 drops 3 times a day, before meals, in 1 tbsp. water. Course - 1 month, break 14 days and repeat if necessary. Celandine is moderately poisonous, do not exceed the dose!

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly.

Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 200.0 ml.

Drink 50.0 ml 4 times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

Let's try to improve digestion with spices - 1 tsp. add turmeric powder to hot broth; chew the fruits of Cumin with meals, try adding 1 tsp to the collection. fennel seed, and keep me posted on the effects.

Tell me, please, am I doing the right thing by drinking the Red Brush? Thank you very much for your answer!

Hello Natasha!

I'm glad you love herbs! But in your case, the Red Brush is unlikely to have a serious impact on you. It is known for stimulating the functions thyroid gland and adrenals. But you don't know your hormones. I think, that at you Prolactin, probably, TTG and FSH is raised or increased a little. It is necessary to donate blood for these hormones from 2-5 days of the monthly cycle. In the meantime, if the Red Brush tones you up without excitement and palpitations, you can drink it.

Good luck Natasha, welcome back! :-)

06/01/18 Nina

Hello Yulia Evgenievna!

Thank you very much for your nomination! My husband's problems with the bile were resolved, after a decoction of the roots of Rosehip cinnamon, headaches went away (drank 1 course). The most interesting thing is that small white wen (?) on the eyelids have decreased and disappeared. I drank tincture of arnica flowers from hemangioma 1 course. Feels great. But I'm worried, maybe I need to drink more arnica and Rosehip?

And when to do repeated studies to track the dynamics of processes? Just in case, I’ll write what was revealed during examinations 5 months ago, on an MRI cervical region spine:

On adjacent surfaces of c5-c6 vertebrae there are marginal bone growths protruding into the lumen of the spinal canal by 4 mm. Hemangiomas are visualized in the bodies of C4 and th6 vertebrae, 9 mm in diameter. Intervertebral discs with signs of dehydration. Disc c5-c6 will stand in the lumen of the spinal canal centrally paramedially, more to the left, up to 3 mm, deforming the anterior contudural sac. The radicular canals (more left) at the level of c5-c6 are narrowed due to osteophyte complexes.

And I also want to ask you about an urgent problem. My son (13 years old) had a kidney problem as a complication after the spring flu. Urinalysis showed a small amount, despite the fact that the rest of the indicators are normal, and the ultrasound doctor said that there is inflammatory processes in the left kidney, due to this, the tissues in it are thickened and therefore mucus with urine. At the same time, he did not catch a cold, pulling pain Complained recently 1 time, and she immediately passed.

Please prescribe what herbs to drink to relieve inflammation.

We as a family are sincerely grateful to you for your help and support!

Nina, good day!

I am very happy for my husband. Osteophytes are difficult to leave, so the decoction of Rosehip roots must be repeated at least once more, after a 3-month break.

In between, you can drink this collection:

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; mix evenly. Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze and add to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. Course - 2 months.

Believe me, mucus is the most harmless in the urine, and speaks of the subsidence of the inflammatory process.

Protein, leukocytes and erythrocytes in the urine are important.

It is necessary to pass urine according to Nechiporenko and then draw conclusions about the pathology.

We will start drinking herbs if there is at least 1 extra leukocyte in the urine)))

Hello! Man, 52 years old, since 2012 I have been suffering from ulcerative colitis, tell me what kind of grass to drink or collect.

From grass, sometimes I drink wormwood, kissel from Flax, I eat ground Flax seed. And also tell me, please, from my mother (75 years old)

sugar has been jumping for the last six months (6.9 -.7.1), what can I drink? Thank you!

Hello Andrey!

I'll start with your mom. At this age, sugar spikes are dangerous!

It is necessary to donate blood for Glycated Hemoglobin and immediately - for insulin.

In the meantime, completely eliminate sugar, sweets; pastries, including cakes and pastries, sweet pies, buns, croissants and other bread delicacies; severely limit animal fats, and do not fry food.

It is impossible to deprive sweets at all. Delicious and healthy sweets are sold in pharmacies and grocery stores, or on special counters for diabetics.

I think one diet will be enough. But if after, say, 10 days from the start of the diet, the GG is elevated, accompany your mother to an endocrinologist-diabetologist and add a collection of herbs:

For 1.5 months you will need 8-10 packs.

You, Andrei, also need a diet. But you do not write about the manifestations of colitis - constipation, diarrhea, mucus, blood in the stool? Do you have nyak or normal colitis?

The cooking method is the same:

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes. Remove and insist hour. Strain, squeeze, top up to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml 3 times a day, before meals. Course 2 months.

FROM best wishes the whole family, see you soon!

So we will try to answer these questions in the following article.

Field horsetail, or Common horsetail, or Pusher, field tree, pine tree, marsh column, earthen cones, etc. (lat. Equisétum arvénse) is a species of perennial herbaceous plants of the genus Horsetail of the Horsetail family (Equisetaceae).

Perennial spore herbaceous plant up to 40, rarely up to 50 cm high, with a long creeping rhizome. On the rhizomes, short tuberous branches are formed, with the help of which vegetative reproduction occurs.

Wikipedia

Rhizome up to 1 m long, branched, covered with thin roots and spherical nodules; stems are ribbed, jointed, unbranched, green, up to 35 cm in height. Leaves fused, cylindrical. Fruiting shoots up to 20 cm high, pale yellow, appear in April May. In the upper part of the fruiting shoots, an oval-cylindrical spore-bearing spikelet 1.5–3 cm long develops, with modified leaves, on the lower surface of which there are sporangia with spores.

Barren stems 20–50 cm high, segmented, hollow, light green, with many leafless branches collected in whorls, they appear in May-June. A distinctive feature of the horsetail is the branches directed upwards, while in other species they are located horizontally or directed downwards. Horsetail is found almost everywhere in Russia. It grows mainly in meadows, river banks, slopes of ravines, in fields.

In scientific medicine, barren spring shoots - horsetail grass (lat. Herba Equiseti) are used as medicinal raw materials. The raw material is harvested in the summer, cutting the grass with sickles or a scythe, and dried under sheds, in attics or in dryers at a temperature of 40-50 ° C. Shelf life of raw materials is 4 years.

Horsetail has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times. It has been used to treat tumors of the stomach and liver, dropsy, intestinal disorders and others. Later, about this plant and its wonderful medicinal properties forgotten, and used only as an herb for cleaning pewter.

Currently, the entire ground part of the horsetail is used in the official and traditional medicine, cooking and as a cosmetic product used in the form of infusions, decoctions and lotions. It is also used as one of the means for weight loss.

For culinary purposes, young juicy shoots are used, collected in the spring, which, when boiled or fried, are added to scrambled eggs, casseroles. Greens are also used as a filling for pies and pancakes.

For cooking medicines use green barren stems. They are harvested throughout the summer.

The stems are cut at the root and dried quickly in the air in the shade or in a well-ventilated area.

Medicinal properties of horsetail

Main active substances raw materials - flavonoids, derivatives of apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, quercetin and silicic acid; phenolcarboxylic acids, tannins.

Horsetail herb contains about 55 mg% saponin equizetonin, up to 25 mg% silicic acid, organic acids(linoleic, aconite, malic, oxalic), tannins, flavonoids, bitterness, proteins up to 1.6%, fatty oil up to 3.5%, traces of alkaloids, carotene up to 4.7 mg%, vitamin C from 30 to 190 mg%, calcium, potassium, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, etc.

As it turned out, horsetail extracts silicic acid from the soil in large quantities and deposits it in its cell walls. And since some of its salts are soluble in water, and silicic acid itself is an essential component human body(especially connective tissue, skin, hair and nails), people have learned to improve their condition with horsetail potions.

5-glycoside-luteolin isolated from horsetail stops inflammation. Thanks to him, the plant successfully heals wounds and has a hemostatic (with internal and external bleeding), antiseptic and disinfectant effects. Flavonoids, together with saponins, act as a diuretic.

Preparations based on this plant have a hemostatic, cleansing, strengthening and diuretic effect.

And it is best to use horsetail for baths. They stimulate the metabolism in the skin and help well with circulatory disorders, and also affect edema in fractures, frostbite, abscesses and suppuration of bones (with open fractures). Horsetail baths also provide relief for most rheumatic diseases and metabolic disorders in gout, since soluble silicic acid partially enters the skin when bathing.

It is impossible to take preparations of this plant for more than 3 months in a row. It contains the enzyme thiaminase, which breaks down vitamin B1, so the use of horsetail preparations for more than 3 months leads to the development of a deficiency of this vitamin. The content of potassium in the blood also decreases, which, coupled with a pronounced diuretic effect, leads to hypokalemia, so this indicator should be monitored during treatment. Incompatible with lithium preparations - slows them down natural breeding from the body, which is fraught with the development of side effects.
