Office Closed for a Week + Dealing with Burnout

Dear patients and friends,OFFICE CLOSED FOR ONE WEEKWe’ll be taking some time off November 1-8, so be sure to plan your supplement orders accordingly.

• Orders will be taken and shipped through 2 PM-ish Tues., Oct. 31st.
• Phone, email or web store orders place Nov. 1-8 will be processed on Nov. 9th or 10th.

BURNOUT - Adaptogens Really HelpHerbs called adaptogens basically help our bodies to adapt to new circumstances - trying or joyful. Change of any kind will have its way with us by straining the adrenals and immune system, hence the illness that can occur after finishing a major project/trip or receiving shocking news - and we’ve all had plenty of that.The herbs contained in our adrenal support formulas are all adaptogens, as the nutrients they carry nourish and soothe both the hormonal and immune systems. If the immune system has been neglected for too long and has been showing its displeasure by always “coming down with everything going around,” then specific immune system formulas should be added to the adrenal formula for a year or so.Of course, the other therapy for burnout is to take some time in nature, hence our little vacation above to the wilds of the Oregon coast.We look forward to your orders and questions before and after that time, so you’ll be all set.A lovely and healthy autumn to you,Doc EveFrom So.

Skin & Hormonal Success Stories

Dear Patients and Friends!Autumn is here once again bragging while showing off it’s sartorial splendor - altogether my favorite time of the year.  I trust you are feeling well for this season, but if you are not feeling like one of nature’s top products going into the chilly seasons, the following can help.PROMOTE HEALING WITH THE BILICA FORMULA - A TESTIMONIAL“The BILICA is working on the purpura!  There is still an occasional purple area on my forearm following a bump or something rubbing against my arm, but the skin is not breaking and bleeding as it did in the past.  I'm also grateful for that!”  LKPurpura is a condition with bleeding into the skin from broken blood vessels that form red to purple spots or tiny dots.  In the case of this woman, it collected under the skin in large flat areas, looking like hefty bruises.  The BILICA formula contains healing nutrients, including B12, for blood vessels, all of which helps energy and other skin problems as well.FIRST FEEDBACK ON THE NEW F:S FORMULA (hormonal, metabolic and weight aid)“I didn’t even know my period was coming this month” - this aside during a re-order.  She’d had intense PMS symptoms until starting on the new HerbAdrenal F:S formula.THANK YOU to the following people for referring others who can use the help:  Helena Apothaker, Terri Blake, Jennifer Krasinski,  Cheray O’Neal, Renee Pringle, Elaine Robnett Moore and Nicole Tanquary.My favorite quote from Pema Chödrön:  “A joyful mind is very ordinary and relaxed”. It helps me take some of the pressure off - at least for a few minutes, then I have to let it sink in again.  And so on.  And so on.Sending good thoughts for feeling very much better,Doc Eve xoFrom So.

Clear Your Lungs of Summer Smoke and Smog

Right now, in the dog days of summer, replete with wildfires, smoke and smog, we don't have to feel like fully paid up paranoids to want to protect our lungs and bronchi. We already feel that bit of tightness in the chest and throat, coughing discreetly as the lungs try to eliminate any inhaled particles.If you already have the Herba Pneu formula at home and are currently in the midst of respiratory distress, or are experiencing the aftermath of wildfire smoke, take an extra couple of capsules a day. Herba Pneu is an expectorant that promotes clearing the sinuses, bronchi and lungs. In other words, it will make that little cough work for you to eliminate particles or the products of infection.For burning or irritated eyes, you might consider our homeopathic Dry Eye Relief drops and use them frequently to soothe them.For other respiratory problems these Eve's Herbs Therapy Packs are available:Bronchitis Therapy PackAsthma Therapy PackSOME PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

1.  WEIGHT LOSS as a Good Side Effect for Treating an Itch:  We got rid of a pre-summer make-you-crazy itch. No explanation from her medics after a few thousand dollars. She said it was, “Sensitive like it’s on fire”. We sent the O/N formula and Aller-Total. To top it off, she called to say she also lost 5 lbs. and asked how, so she could keep doing it.
2. MIGRAINES GONE following Weight Loss Program:  A 73-year-old new patient called to say she was amazed that in one week she dropped 13 lbs., from 219 to 206, and that it was easy and comfortable. Although a little more time was spent in the bathroom, it suited anyway. What delighted her the most, though, was that she’s had no more migraines since she started her program a week ago. She was so glad they were gone as she had been having them almost daily all summer - something she was miserably “getting used to”.  “Oh, and by the way, I have a lot more energy!”  She loves the Detox powder, and will keep taking it, and will empty the capsules of Patic Fe, TQH and Sugar Free into the morning drink. It’s so nice to hear good news like this…
3. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION:  “Your suggestions for A-Fib are working.”  Yay!!. She’s taking Eve’s Cardio, Joy Blend and Cramp Bark.

New Summer Recipe - Light, Delicious & Unusual

Dear Patients and Friends,I came across this refreshing and savory recipe from Denise Roa, the Executive Chef at Rancho La Puerta Resort, and had to try it. What a toothsome treat! I did use the optional minced jalapeño chili with most of the seeds taken out, and also added a few black seedless grapes to garnish. A nice fillet of wild salmon, gently sautéed in my homemade thyme-and-garlic-infused butter (see below) goes well with it. A light meal for a hot summer night.COLESLAW with a CILANTRO-YOGURT DRESSING(Anti-oxidant, Anti-Cancer & Fat-Scrubbing)Ingredients (Preferably Organic):3 cups shredded red cabbage3 cups shredded green cabbage1 bunch of radishes - thinly sliced (~½ a cup)½ small jicama, peeled and cut into small cubes (~1½ cups)2 scallions, thinly sliced¾ cup plain yogurt3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil2 tbsp. fresh lime juice2 tbsp. rice vinegar1 tsp. sea salt1 cup chopped fresh cilantro1 jalapeño chili, seeded and minced (optional)1 doz. black seedless grapes or cubed mango (optional)Directions:1. Combine the red and green cabbages, radishes, jicama and scallions in a large bowl.2. Mix the yogurt, oil, lime juice, vinegar and salt in a blender until smooth.3. Stir in the cilantro and, if desired, the jalapeño.4. Toss the veggies with the dressing to coat them.5. Add the grapes on top, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.A ready meal for up to 3 days in the fridge. Serves 4-6.  Buon Appetito!THYME & GARLIC BUTTER - great for sautéing everything1 stick (4 oz.) of butter (we prefer goat's) - let it soften at room temp.2 cloves of garlic - minced.1-3 tsps. of fresh thyme (ideally) - use less if it's dried.Mash it all together and it's ready to go. Refrigerate (lasts 2-3 weeks).Just a thought to - ”Open up our clenched hearts” - Pema Chödrön. So essential in our present political climate. We may as well try it, even opening a little bit sometimes feels pretty good!Best of health to you,Doc EveFrom So.

Our NEW Anti-Stress Adrenal Formula is Here!

Dear Patients and Friends,An excellent watermelon season is upon us, thank goodness, as our triple-digit temperatures certainly require lots of hydration. I remember I had eaten nothing but watermelon when I went into an August 20-hour labor with our son, Joey, and by golly, made it through just on that. It will work to hydrate us better than plain water. It’s good to replace a meal, too, and drop some extra pounds.INTRODUCING OUR NEWEST FORMULAOur new HerbAdrenal F:S formula with white peony root is finally here.  It is a quiet energy support for the adrenals, thyroid and overall metabolism. With a combination of herbs from our Blend F and Blend S formulas, it has calming, anti-inflammatory and stress-easing properties. The stress and depression so many of us are feeling at the moment makes this a timely formula.High in naturally occurring plant nutrients, including vitamins B and C, calcium and magnesium, HerbAdrenal F:S is a tonic, soothing and restoring when stress levels are high or when recovering from illness. It supports hormonal balance in the male and female reproductive organs and the stress-coping mechanisms.SWALLOWING THOSE CAPSULES, PILLS OR TABLETSWe want to feel better and know that the capsules or tablets work, but just can’t “get them down”.  Give this a try:With capsules - if thick or pulpy juices don't help, or even filtered juices with the Detox formula mixed in, then just slide the capsules open and put the contents into a glass of juice or smoothie.Tablets want to be pulverized by putting them in a cloth or 2 sheets of Saran Wrap. Gently, set to them with your hammer, rubber mallet or some such significant tool (like a mortar and pestle, if you have them). Add to the glass, then stir in some black cherry juice, rice milk or yogurt and drink the mix through one of those fat straws - apparently, you can’t even taste them with this method. A patient turned me on to this and I pass it on to you. Let me know how this goes for you.Stay as cool and hydrated as these crazy temperatures permit.’Til soon,Doc EveFrom So.

Help For Summer Maladies

Dear Patients and Friends,Stating the obvious, summer is here. And the only reason I’m glad of it, is that people will finally stop complaining about the rain (which I love) and start complaining about the heat, which I can do with them.Still, getting out in nature, no matter the season, is great for just “feeling better.” Oscar Wilde wrote: "Nature: a place where birds fly around uncooked.” OK, that took a minute to process, but if you go out into nature this summer:

1.  Stay hydrated.
2. Take your ALLER-TOTAL with you - great for environmental and food allergies - along with the Bactotox and BWC formulas to help the body resist infections and parasites.

Ears of corn are great for long hikes; juicy and already wrapped. Then, of course, there is the awesome watermelon - though not as convenient for hiking.REFLUX/HIATAL HERNIA and H. PILORI SUFFERERSAvoid tight pants - stretch or not - unless you do not intend to bend down, sit down or bend over. I learned this the hard way while gardening. The pressure they will create there will push everything in the tummy back up toward the mouth - Ugh and burning.If it’s too late, use the little massage movement (CLICK HERE for link to demonstration) to push it back down, and rinse the mouth with water to wash away the acids from the throat and esophagus. A capsule of Gentian Root would also help to move things back down in the proper direction. If your case is extreme, the Gastrex formula works 95% of the time.EYE FLOATERSTwo patients called last month about floaters in the eyes becoming a real problem - but the Peeper Keeper formula cleared them up. One said she knew this was the case because when she stopped taking the formula they came back, and then left again on resuming it. Nice to know, for all that summer reading and leering at the local color.NEW! HERBADRENAL F:S FORMULA - UPDATEOur newest formula, HerbAdrenal F:S, should be arriving in 2-3 weeks.4TH OF JULY HOURSOrders placed by phone, email or web store late afternoon of July 3rd, or all day on the 4th, will ship out on Wed., July 5th. Regular hours Wed. thru Fri. July 5th thru 7th.A happy 4th of July and an easy recovery from it,Doc EveFrom So.

New Eve's Herbs Formula Coming Soon

Dear patients and friends,The white peonies are going all out in their full glory this year after all that lovely rain.  I couldn’t resist sharing this picture with you.White peony root is very often part of Chinese formulas, of which we carry the Enhance and Calm Spirit that have been a favorite in our practice for a long time now.  We are about to put it into a new formula in the small therapeutic amount only. It will be a calming, anti-inflammatory and de-stressing adrenal supporting formula combined with herbs from our Blend S and Blend F Formulas which we are now combining.The root of this real show-off plant has some similar benefits to Cramp Bark, but is part of many anti-inflammatory and calming formulas, anti-aging treatments, polycystic ovary syndrome treatments, and to begin menstruation as well.  In excessive amounts, it may cause abortion it is said by some - In my 40+ years of practice, I have never come across this myself, and that is where its similarity to Cramp Bark ends.  Cramp Bark, in fact, has the opposite effect in that it stayed a number of miscarriages - which was a great joy during my practice.Look for our new formula, Blend F:S with White Peony Root, coming in July/August.And... Here are the last of the list of veggie fat-scrubbers:Fresh raw Celery  has a high concentration of ready-to-use calcium which energizes the endocrine system, speeding up hormone production and breaking down fatty deposits in the cells.  Perhaps that is why some people find that 3 sticks a day is sufficient to lower their high blood pressure.  It is high in magnesium and iron which both nourish the blood cells and help in the elimination of waste.Cucumbers can help cool inflammation in adipose cells and restore a balance between acid and alkalines.  This loosens body waste for removal.  Cucumbers are also high in sulphur and silicon, two minerals that help kidneys wash waste from the system. And high potassium levels help to break down fat.Garlic, my favorite, is a most powerful natural diuretic. Its oils cause waves of muscular action in the gut, loosening and washing away fat.  A clove of garlic a day is also touted to break down stubborn clumps of fat.Now if we could all just eat these wonderful veggies without smothering them in all those lovely dressings and other naughty accoutrements, all the above would actually work. Ho hum!If travel is on your agenda soon, especially flying, do remember our Travel Pack - I know I’ve said this before, but for us to ship an emergency BWC to Cancun, for instance, is tricky.Since I’m not going anywhere this year, I comfort myself with Thomas Campbell’s “‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.” May your travels be as enchanting on arrival as they were while still dreaming.The very best of  summer coming up,Doc EveFrom So.
