Hello Dr. Hardy :) Recently I broke the tip of my middle finger, and lost the entire nail and received stitches in the process. Is there anything I can do to help the nail grow back strong, healthy and normal (and quickly!) :) I already bought some Horsetail, I’ve been taking about 1600-1700mg of the powdered capsules a day, I think. Also, I bought a bottle of Hydrangea root a few months ago (June) in preparation for your orange juice liver flush, but I became too busy with moving to my new place, working, ect. to get around to it, although I finished the 2oz bottle of the herb (45 drop ...

Merci! I’ll give it a shot. I assumed it wasn’t for stones since you said you had already gone ”stone free” with the HC when you started. But please don’t call me hon, it’s degrading. Have a nice day!   [End]

Alright, thanks. I was planning on doing hydrangea and cayenne anyway regardless of which flush. I just wanted to know which flush is more effective for my condition, and from what I gather, Plz, you said your flush was for when you were already stone free, so perhaps then the flush Dr. Hardy posted? I’ll know when my body tells me it’s ready to parasite cleanse, I use Humaworm and passed some liver flukes while on it. Now isn’t a good time to parasite cleanse as I seriously injured myself the other day and am on antibiotics to prevent infection, and I plan on going on probiotics starti ...

Hey :) I’ve been wanting to do a flush, but I’m too scaredy-cat to do a Hulda Clark flush lol. I’ve been doing some research and I saw Plz post this ”gentle” flush: Plzchuckle’s Hot Lemonade Flush toddy: 1 mug of distilled water brought just to a gentle boil juice of 1 or 2 organic lemons 1-2 tablespoons sorghum molasses 1 tablespoon evoo 60 drops of liquid cayenne (1/4 teaspoon) - I started w/20 drops and increased it by 10 each day, attaining the 60 drops the last few days.

Hey csc, you can pick up a juicer at Walmart for about $25 by the Hamilton Beach brand. It’s not the best juicer, obviously, but it’ll get you by. I used it when I was first starting out, and later upgraded to a more expensive one when I was sure juicing was going to be part of my lifestyle. Juicing really does help to heal the body. Good luck :)   [End]

Thanks! Can you slow cook them on the stove? I don’t have a crockpot. Also, what’s your opinion on legumes (ie. lentils, chickpeas, ect.)? Are they okay to eat, and is there a specific way to cook them? What’s your opinion on the sprouted grain bread they sell in the healthfood store (in the freezer section) and the ”mylk” like rice milk, ect. they also sell?   [End]

Hello Dr. Hardy! :) I love the taste of garlic, but whenever I eat it I feel sick to my stomach and even develop little hiccup burps. What’s up with this?! Other people seem to be able to consume lots of garlic, but even a little makes me ill. Also, what’s your opinion on a 100% raw food diet? I tried it, but I find eating lots of raw veggies makes me very bloated. A small/medium sized salad once a day is okay, but any more than that I get too bloated. I know you recommend 6 cups of veggies a day, but how can this be factored in so I don’t swell up? Fruit I don’t have a problem with. ...

You might also want to try cutting out grains and seeing what happens - you may have a wheat or gluten intolerance. I know bloating is a common symptom for those. I agree with plz about the meat - it’s so hard to digest, especially if you’re already having digestive problems. A colon cleanse and parasite cleanse is another idea - it could be candida. Basically, experiment with different methods to find the true cause and eat lots and lots of cleansing, digestible fruit and raw juices in the meantime :) Your body is telling you there’s something wrong, and it’s time to listen! I’ve us ...

I went through the acid reflux/heartburn experience too. You have to cut out the breads and eat mainly fruits and vegetables and fresh, raw juices. Eat raw fats too, especially avocados. Breads are so acidic, as are meat and sugar. I went on a detox for about 3 months of only fruits, veggies and raw fats, and then I added in 1 serving of grains a day, in the form of wild rice, buckwheat or oatmeal, and then a few months later added in another serving of whole, unprocessed grains, and so on. If you’re craving more sustenance during a cleanse like that, it’s better to eat a sweet potat ...

Take the actual pineapple. The supplementation is not nearly as good. I use the ”Source Naturals” brand called Essential Enzymes, you can get it from http://www.iherb.com I’ve heard that Garden of Life makes a good enzyme too, but it’s very expensive.   [End]

And get a juicer and drink pineapple juice everyday - at least one cup in the morning. Also, seeing a GOOD chiropractor (I think I went through about 5 before I found a good one) helped me. My back was out of alignment and that threw my stomach off. You may find that juicing as the main part of your meal helps too, as does cutting down on protein and eating more easily digested fruits and raw juices.   [End]

Perfect, thank you!! I will buy the loose teas tomorrow and let you know in a month how it went :) I’m hoping it’ll help my acne too - I’ve already cleansed these organs with herbs, but I think my kidneys could use a little lift, especially. If I’m supposed to add these herbs to 2.25 cups of water a day, how many tablespoons should I put in? 1 tbsp of each? Thank you!!   [End]

How should I do that? I’m already on a very clean diet.. I can’t eat organic (money and availability is nearly non-existent right now where I live), but I don’t use conventional products ie. toothpaste, shampoo, makeup, ect. to limit my chemical exposure. Everything I use is all natural and biodegradable. What am I doing to stress my liver out? Is is just emotional stress?   [End]

I’m interested in gently cleansing my kidneys -I don’t have any money really (lol), so is there a juice, ect. that will cleanse them? I’m only 19 and I’m also vegan, mostly raw food, so I doubt I have any serious stones. But I do have undereye circles and I’ve heard this can be from sluggish kidneys. Any ideas on how I can do this, Docta Dennis? :)   [End]

Hi Dennis! I have an iridologist who is great, and my eye colour has changed in the 1.5 years I’ve been seeing her (from yellow-green to green-blue) band I follow a healthy diet (4 cups of juice everyday - carrot, celery, orange and lemon, pineapple) and eat mostly raw, all fruits and veggies. Shouldn’t I be seeing a more major difference in my eye colour? (ie. bright blue) My doctor says the acid that’s still in my eye (the yellow layer overtop the blue makes my eyes look green) is from stress. I do live a very stressful life in a stressful home environment. Do you think this to be true? ...

Hi! Just a thought, but if you think you have cancer you should drink Essiac tea - http://www.humaworm.com/gpage.html1.html It’s a health tonic that has helped many to stay alive and kicking!! I agree - juice every single day with your juicer, and eliminate all processed foods - flours, sugars, ect. Eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables, and some raw oils. Stay hydrated with clean water. If you’re having stomach prob;ems, you should be able to find a fresh juice (carrot, concord grapes and celery are very tolerable) that you can handle. If your stomach is very sensitive, try t ...

Lol Dr. Hardy, just to calm her fears, she asked you: ”if you knew why the two veins coming down from my 3rd and 4th toes had gotten so darn DARK last night after that walk” and she just wanted confirmation from you that her condition wasn’t serious and the herbs/supplements you recommended would help to heal her problem, and quickly.

Some other calcium rich foods are broccoli, spinach, sesame seeds, turnip, mustard and collard greens, and backstrap molasses. I’ve heard oranges are high in calcium too. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=45#toxicitysymptoms scroll down to the bottom of this page to see a list of veggies and herbs and the amount of calcium in them :) This is the BEST calcium supplement: http://www.florahealth.com/flora/home/canada/products/r4730.asp   [End]

Hi - I’ve never done drugs or drank alcohol, but I know it took me 2 years to get pretty clean just from exposure to toxins in the environment and personal care products, cleaning products, ect. Follow the treatment protocol exactly and you’ll feel better in a few months, but it may take a year or more to feel completely better, because by doing drugs you’ve actually voluntarily PUT poisons into your body!! Your toxic build-up is probably much higher than those who haven’t done drugs. So be patient, determined and start treating your body with respect :)   [End]

I have dark under-eye circles that I just can’t seem to get rid of!! I started to get them when I was about 12 or 13 (I’m 19 now). My eyes aren’t puffy at all (they never are), but they are hollow underneath the eye. I know some of the darkness of bloodvessels coming through (I can see the little lines when I look closely), but it can’t all be bloodvessels! The colour is more of a purpleish, with a bit if a reddish hue. What’s causing these, and can I make them go away? I eat whole foods - nothing sugary or salty or packaged. My main problems are stress, not going to bed early enough and p ...

These are all the articles Mercola has on soy: http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/index.htm This one: http://www.mercola.com/2000/feb/13/soy_thyroid_disease.htm in particular made me think of my sister. Mercola has collected a rather extensive amount of information against soy, but soy is advocated as something healthy. It’s so easy to be confused here!!   [End]

Awesome! I bookmarked that one too. I love tongue analysis, it’s fascinating but sometimes hard to understand. They keep talking about yang deficiencies!

I would have to ask her - she works as a hospital administrator, so she’s not very open to holistic methods. She’s more into popping pills for problems :( But does kelp help the thyroid? If I have info, to back it up she might try it. The info might help others here on Curezone who suffer from thyroid problems as well, even if my sister is too stubborn! But why do people like Mercola, for instance, dislike soy so much if you think it’s okay for consumption?   [End]

Hi Dennis! I too am confused about soy. Mercola (www.mercola.com) basically says soy is one of the evils of the world, unless it’s properly fermented (ie. miso). My naturopath says any soy (even the processed soy ”meat” like hotdogs and hamburgers) is okay so long as it’s organic and not from GM soybeans. My sister has hypothyroid disease and was told by her doctor she cannot eat soy because it’s bad for the thyroid. She was also raised on infant soy formula because she couldn’t tolerate milk (I wasn’t raised on soy like she was, and have had no problems - is this connected?)   [End]

Hi! :) I just wanted to say I’ve had success with treating my acne (on cheeks and chin mainly) with burdock root - I take the capsules everyday and it’s helped immensely. I did a few other things that worked cohesively to rid me of my acne: 1) I found doing a parasite cleanse helped quite a bit 2) As did adding 1 tbsp of quality cod liver oil to my diet 3) Heavy metal cleansing a lot helped too. My family uses these old pans and pots from the 1980s to cook in - I have no idea what material they’re made from, but they poisoned me for sure lol - I looked closer at them and the coatin ...

Just a thought, but I believe there is a cilantro pesto or something that is supposed to detox the body of heavy metals - maybe if he ate some everyday it would help. http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=24&i=17 ”1) Put 1 cup of packed, fresh cilantro, and 6 tablespoons of olive oil in your blender. Blend until the cilantro is chopped up. 2) Add 1 clove of garlic. 3) Add one-half cup of almonds, cashews, or other nuts. I use mostly almonds, with a few cashews and macadamias. 4) Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon, squeezed by hand). 5) Blend to a lu ...

Oxidization is a chemical reaction in which the elections are changed in the oxygen molecule, if I remember correctly from science class. Thus, the substance of oxygen has changed. An antioxidant would help to halt this chemical process, presumably allowing the body to maintain the healthy oxygen molecules it has without suffering too much loss. I suppose that’s why antioxidants are beneficial in anti-aging as well. An aging body that takes in more antioxidants would lose fewer healthy oxygen molecules due to oxidative stress over time, than an aging body that takes in none. I am cer ...

If they started when you began a liver cleanse, you could have pushed stones into the bile duct while eliminating. Maybe keep cleansing and drink lots of water? I couldn’t tell you for sure the solution though. I’d post this on the Ask Curezone and liver cleanse forums too, I’m sure other people have had similar experiences and can tell you how to treat it.   [End]
