Black radish has been traditionally used as a choleretic, cholagogue, for benign bronchial problems, topically for sunburns, burns and for diaper rash. Results were limited for alopecia. Black radish can enhance the oxidation rate as assesed by a hair tissue mineral analysis and is helpful for lowering a high calcium level and assists in the elimination copper.

This tea is important for Dr Dietrich Klinghardt’s Biological Lyme Protocol. He recommends starting with 2 cups per day. However, several of my clients have found that they were not able to consume this much in the beginning and had to gradually build up their dose.

This is an easy recipe which helps many people that are struggling with sinus issues. I first learned about this probiotic nasal spray from Dr Klinghardt. He mentioned that it is beneficial for those that have suffered with nasal congestion for years, allergies, chronic sinusitis, MARCoNS (Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staphylococci) among other conditions

This tea has a nice warming effect which seems to keep the body warm, while the herbs are typically well tolerated.

Cellular health is integral to human health. Cells make up tissues, and tissues make up organs. Organs and organ systems are what make us an organism. We are at the fundamental level, made up of cells. Healthy cell life produces what we call “vitality” – a healthy level of energy and resistance to stress. These cells are the most basic units of a human which make up our bones, blood, tissues, brain, tissues, organs, organ systems and thus the organism. Thus the health and nourishment of our cells is of utmost importance to our health and wellbeing.

Boron is essential to life for all organisms including both plants and animals. Properties of boric acid include anti-fungal, antiseptic, and antiviral and mildly antimicrobial. Boron is critical in calcium metabolism and may influence the metabolism of copper, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamin D as well as specific enzymes.

A dietary deficiency of iodine is the single most significant cause of preventable brain damage and mental retardation. A lack of iodine is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in the world.

Iodine, in combination with the amino acid tyrosine, link together to manufacture thyroid hormones. Thyroxine (T4) is much more abundant. However, it is not as biologically active as triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormone speeds up metabolism and increases basal metabolic rate, in addition to controlling the rate of oxygen utilisation and releasing energy from energy-producing nutrients.

Calcium is the fifth most abundant mineral on Earth and is the top most abundant element in the human body. It is essential in the biosphere for all living beings on Earth. Calcium is one of the body's main electrolyte minerals. Over ninety per cent of the calcium in the body is stored in the bones and teeth, which function as reservoirs which calcium can be withdrawn as required for extra-skeletal functions. When combined with phosphate, a substance called hydroxyapatite is formed. Hydroxyapatite is the mineral portion of bones and teeth, in humans and animals, and some coral.

Aside from its industrial applications, selenium is an essential trace nutrient. A deficiency in selenium is a severe obstacle in areas of the world where the soil contains little selenium such as the case in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and some areas of China among others. It has been estimated that over 1 billion people have a low selenium status.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral. In its trivalent state, it is critical for carbohydrate, lipid and nucleic acid metabolism. Chromium enhances the effects of insulin. Chromium activates phosphoglucosonetase and other enzymes. Chromium plays an important role in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism and has an impact on the expression of genes and nucleic acid synthesis.

Manganese is an essential trace element to all known living organisms. It is an activator of several metalloenzymes, including arginase, pyruvate carboxylase, glutamine synthetase, and one form of superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Manganese also functions as a non-specific enzyme activator and facilitates the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides (such as chondroitin sulfate), lipids and thyroxine. It helps prevent tissue damage caused by lipid oxidation and is an antioxidative transition metal. Manganese is part of the developmental process and the structure of the fragile ear bones.
