Q and A sent to kdroth@shaw.ca
I'm
having a day of intentional gratitude. Sharing it with those who I consider
god-sent.
You
are one. I have met you at a very challenging and difficult point in my life.
Major transformations and yes...still growing pains.
Your
presence, strength, knowledge and steadfastness energize my heart and keeps me
on the right track. The track that God and life also nudges me on.
Most
importantly, this is not just about me. The ripple affect of your presence and
work is the most essential part of all this.
So
thank you ❤️

Kidney Stone Dissolved
Hope you are well.
Just wanted to share with you a little success story. Remember my friend Aggie,
who had the Kidney stone (6.9 mm).
Well she finally did buy the products for the Kidney
flush and Did it 3 times. (Once Every week). She had an appointment today for
surgery. I just finished talking to her and guess what. the stone was gone.. They
just had to remove the tube that they left in there.
Tell her to do the One Day Kidney Flush;
1 glass water with lemon
Take 2 K, 2Magnesium, 2 Marshmallow.
1 glass of water with Chlorophyll 2 T.
Take 2 K, 2Magnesium, 2 Marshmallow.
Take lemon juice and Lobelia straight up for pain any
time and as many times as needed.
I also want to mention Comfrey. Nature’s Sunshine at one
time has a capsule called Comfrey Pepsin with incredible healing properties of
the digestive system. Then along came one scientist who did a study in a lab to
prove that comfrey is harmful. I then searched the internet to find this
information. I am totally amazed at the limited thinking that is expressed in
this article. Just listen to this:
I won’t quote the name of the author. I just
know he does not understand herbs and the fact that all herbs contain these
alkaloids even the potatoes he is eating from his garden. He just see that. He
has decided to fear monger an innocent herb such as comfrey. Here it is.
“Even today, years after pyrrolizidine
alkaloids were found and identified in Comfrey (aka Symphytum officinale),
herbalists continue to recommend its use. A few years ago, after I had
commented on an online site about the dangers of using Comfrey, a well-known
animal herbalist called me on the phone. “Comfrey isn’t dangerous”, she told
me. “It is just a scam by Big Pharma to stop us using it so that they can make
more money.”
Then he aggressively states this:“It isn’t a scam by Big Pharma. Comfrey can
kill. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are very toxic to the liver and are also
carcinogenic (cause cancer). The way that they work is by blocking small blood
vessels in the liver. This leads to cirrhosis and eventually liver failure. In
humans, use of comfrey for as little as 5 days (in children) or 19 days (in
adults) has resulted in severe liver damage and death. Even long term use of
very small doses can be harmful, as the damage is cumulative and the damage is
irreversible.”
This author just does not see that in this
article he does not see the difference between the whole plant, comfrey and the
active alkaloid, Pyrrolizidine. If the active alkaloid, Pyrrolizidine were to
be isolated and eaten then yes it would cause the liver problems as stated in
this article. But it is not Pyrrolizidine alkaloids that we are eating, it is
the whole innocent comfrey plant. As a whole plant there are nutritive
properties that work synergistically for protection and healing purposes and
not for harming purposes as does the drug or the isolated alkaloid.
The author then continues to ostracize this
God given herb by referring to Pyrrolizidine.
“What about topical (skin) use? Pyrrolizidine
alkaloids can be absorbed through the skin as well. So, if you’re going to use
a cream or ointment, make sure that the daily amount applied to the skin
doesn’t exceed 100 micrograms. You might find that it is difficult to ascertain
the correct level as most preparations don’t put the amount onto the label.
Also, the analytical method used to assay these compounds is a bit unreliable.
Both the leaves and the roots of Comfrey have
been shown to cause cancer. Rats fed Comfrey (0.5% roots and 8% leaves)
developed hepatomas (liver cancer) and died.”
Now I have to speak to this study regarding
the mice that died in this study. First of all the mice were not fed comfrey
leaves and roots, The roots and leaves in this study were prepared into a
liquid infusion and injected into the rats or force fed into the rats not for
just a few days but for 179 to 600 days that’s almost 2 years. Well guess what
the life span of the average lab rat is? Its about 2 years!!
It is totally unfair to force feed these poor
lab rats and then make false claims that it caused a health problem. Then I
also read that it was only 3 of the rats that actually developed tumors, It was
not all the rats that developed cancers and those that got the tumors that 96%
were not carcinogenic tumors they were benign tumors. So I also ask about these
rats. They were bred in a lab so how many of them already had co morbidity
disorders. Who tells you how they were bred or what they were fed before the
comfrey study.
Here is an article I found that talks about
this Comfrey and Rat study.
All dosing levels in this
study were significantly higher than expected human intake at therapeutic
levels.”
“No research has been
undertaken to determine the validity of the traditional use of comfrey in the
treatment of broken bones, tendon damage, ulcerations in the gastrointestinal
tract, and lung congestion. However, documented anti-inflammatory
analgesic wound healing , and
immune modulating effects support the use of comfrey as a vulnerary.
Other research has shown components of comfrey to have cholinergic action and
the ability to inhibit tumors.” 2004 Dorena Rode
Now listen to the author
of the article I mentioned earlier.
“What are the symptoms of pyrrolizidine
alkaloid poisoning?
jaundiced skin (from impaired liver function)
rough, unkempt appearance
diarrhea
prolapsed rectum
edema of tissues of the digestive tract
dullness
photosensitization
abnormal behavior.
cattle may have a bloated appearance.
There is no mention of Comfrey here but a lot
of information on the poisoning affects of pyrrolizidine.
Mendel Friedman, Carol E. Levin 2016 write
“Potatoes contain two
classes of alkaloids: the
glycoalkaloids and the calystegines. The presence of glycoalkaloids in potatoes
and their toxicity have been known for more than a century and much has been
written about them.”
Then these authors
conclude:
Glycosidase-inhibiting
calystegine alkaloids (polyhydroxylated nortropanes) probably also contribute
to the beneficial health properties of potatoes (Friedman et al., 2003;
Friedman and Levin, 2016). In conclusion, the results of this study are not
only of fundamental interest that might help our understanding of the
composition and biological functions of different samples of whole potato
tubers, peels, and cortexes, but also have important implications for nutrition
and human health.”
Now I want to talk about
Parsley. I remember it was in the late 1990/s when Health Canada decided to take
Parsley capsules off the market. Yet you could go to any supermarket at that
time and buy Parsley. But Health Canada decided to take Parsley off the market.
So for a short time Natures Sunshine was not allowed to sell Parsley capsules.
I remember writing a letter to the Health Minister at that time asking her why
parsley was taken off the market. Here is the
letter from Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health May 13/2011. Her response
shocked me.
Dear Ms. Roth:
Thank you for your
correspondence of March 22/2011, concerning the Natural Health Products
regulations NHPR. Your member of Parliament, Mr. Ron Cannan has also written on
your behalf. I regret the delay in responding.
Maintaining health and
safety of Canadians is a priority for the Government of Canada. Health Canada’s
mandate is to ensure that Canadians have access to the safest possible
products. The NHPR help assure that Canadians have access to a range of natural
health products that are safe effective and of high-quality whole respecting
freedom of choice as well as philosophical and cultural diversity.
I introduced the natural
Health Products ( Unprocessed Product License
Applications) Regulations to ensure that products with applications that
have been waiting longer than 180 days for approval which meet basic safety
criteria can legally be sold while their applications undergo a full review.
Since the NHPR came into
force Health Canada has issued over 28,000 NHP licenses representing 38,000
products and over 7000 Exemption numbers under the Natural Health Products
(Unprocessed Product License Applications) Regulations (representing 9654
products.
Health Canada recognizes
that NHP’s are generally safe; however there are rare circumstances when
recalls are necessary to protect Canadians. Since the NHPR came into force,
Health Canada has issued 150 recalls, 40 of which were for serious health
risks. The Department continues to follow a risk-based compliance and
enforcement approach. And will focus its enforcement efforts on those products
that’s pose an unacceptable risk to the health of Canadians. Page 2 is missing.
Here is the answer to
my question: Why was Parsley taken off
the market?
“Parsley ( Petroselinum
crispum) is considered to be a medicinal ingredient for an NHP”
She plainly stated that
there was an active ingredient in Parsley that was dangerous. Of course that
part is true. There are medicinal alkaloid in Parsley that are dangerous if
they are extracted and consumed. There are bitter compounds called coumarins
that is part of the parsley plant. And it is these active compounds that are
powerful in dissolving kidney stones and gallstones. Parsley is a great
diuretic that has the ability to clean out some very toxic harmful debris from
the body. Now you can understand how confused this Health Minister was. She
thought Parsley was the same as the active coumarins. Nature has the ability to
create plants with active alkaloids that have powerful dissolving properties.
You can also see how Gabriela’s friend was able to use the combination of herbs
known as K to dissolve her big kidney stone. K has parsley in it.
There is something else
that I would like to point out in this discussion. We tend to think that we
could just go to the grocery store and buy Parsley and dissolve kidney stone
with it. Here is the question that you need to entertain if you think store
bought Parsley has the medicinal coumarins in it. You do not know if that
parsley even has any of the medicinal compounds in it. Where was it grown? Is
it the correct species of Parsley? What was sprayed on it? And one thing I do
know is that the parsley from the grocery store is not standardized. Nature’s
Sunshine ensures that their products are pure, potent and standardized. So when
I give you the instructions to do a One Day Kidney Flush to clean out kidney
stones, or arthritis or brain fog or allergy symptoms I know you will get
results.
Last week I talked about
a man who had arthritis, stiff neck, sore back, congested sinuses. Her followed
the instructions for the One Day Kidney Flush where he was drinking water and
Chlorophyll or water and Arginine every hour and every hour he was taking 2 K, 2 SN-X, 2 Cat’s Claw combination.
He did this flush 9 times, once a week for 9 weeks with amazing results. I
really don’t know why people are suffering and don’t do these flushes. They are
simple and easy to do.
Finally, I want to
remind everyone that plants have power. They are loaded with energy and
nutrients and active alkaloids to perform amazing tasks in our bodies if we
would just stop to think about it.
A tomato seed has the
energy and power to build a 5 foot tall plant that can produce about 50 or more
orange sized tomatoes.
An small acorn that any
child can hold in her little hand can produce a massive tall oak tree that
produces millions of tiny acorns.
Does it then not stand
to reason that 60 small capsules of K with parsley taken over 3 days can
dissolve a large kidney stone?
Does it not stand to
reason that 180 capsules of K with parsley in it can clean out arthritic deposits
in the neck joints and in the back joints over a period of 9 weeks?
Does it not stand to
reason that 180 capsules of SN-X herbal capsules taken over 9 cleanses can
clean out sinuses?
Does it not stand to
reason that the herbs Paw and Paw and Cat’s Claw and super food smoothies taken
over the course of a year can clean out the toxins that cause cancer?
We have become so blinded
by white coats, and universities and science and drugs and vaccines that we
have lost our connection to the earth and its laws of nature and all the
goodness and power and ability of those humble herbs to clean out poisons and
to restore our health.
