Herbal Treatments
Hello, I am looking for a natural way to supplements my horse with vitamins and minerals. I saw your recommendations of the grains, green food, wheat germ, molasses and so on. Could you tell me how much of each he should get? Thank you
Robert Replied:
I suggest you keep your horse primarily on hay and pasture 24/7 day and night. Don't lock him up in a stable and if you need to give extra dry grass try to get meadow hay rather than something pasteurised.
Soak 2 or 3 cups of grain, barley perhaps, overnight and give each day this amount. Add pollard 1 cup per day or 2 if you are trying to recover any lost weight.
Add to a litre of boiling water and make into a tea each day 2 tablespoons of Chamomile Flowers and 2 tablespoons of Rosehips Granules. This will provide for digestive system support, vitamin C and Iron and many other useful ingredients.
Use the tea above to dampen feed am and pm and add 2 desert spoonfuls of molasses.
Give a protein concentrate like copra meal 2 - 4 Kg's each day.
Give ground Millet and Linseed (Flaxseed) one cup each to protect and assist all bone and ligament strength and elasticity.
This is all that is needed for healthy strong horses.

The Epstein Barr Virus is blamed for Glandular Fever and if you read the article on glandular fever, you will find that the preconditions are very similar to the Chronic Fatigue ones. You will find also that the virus is not to blame it is merely a parasite living in a system that is severely depleted in its Vitamin B metabolism. See;
The way back to recovery from glandular fever is to build up your Vitamin B through large doses of multi B's and Vitamin B12 and I offer a Glandular Fever Support mix also ($49.50 for a 7 weeks course)
The mix includes Chamomile, Blue Flag, Dandelion, Yarrow, Maritime Pine Bark, Red clover and Echinacea along with the Bach Flowers Rescue Remedy, Olive, Walnut and Scleranthus.
The treatment can be ordered from;
As in most cases each individual requires a slightly different formulation depending on their own constitution, health history, and stress handling responses. I offer a full one hour assessment and written report and individual herbal treatment
In order to make better decisions about how you want your life to go, you first need to be feeling strong within yourself and this you must do by taking control and doing something for yourself first.

Depression can be treated herbally and I do it all the time. However depression is a very personal disease and it is really the person you must treat.
There are dozens of herbs which I think about when sitting down before a depressed person in a one hour face to face consultation and at the end I hope to be down to those 5 or 6 herbs that would suit this particular individual with all his/her history, background, symptoms, physical health, personality, attitudes and bad habits taken into account.
During the consultation I find out whether the depression stems from the patients worldview, sense of self, empowerment, family ties, drug history and all the rest. Without all this I cant suggest a single herb.
If a patient wanted to get out of their depression and they wanted to go alternate, I can offer them my full online consultation service to be found on

And encourage them to fill in all the questions as detailed as possible.
If it is someone else who wants them to get better, you "can only lead the horse to water"
I hope this has been of some help.
Three or four years ago I begun to treat so called ADHD and ADD in boys with a combination of Maritime Pine Extract and a herb called Phytolacca. I get great results.
It caused me some effort to make the connection in my own head as to why a super anti-oxidant Like Maritime Pine, should have any effect whatsoever in the treatment of ADD, However after I found that it did help in almost all cases, I came up with the following theory;
ADD must be just another of he 20th century illnesses which shows up as a reaction of the immune system in certain susceptible individuals to the encroachment of our environment upon us.
If you imagine a person with a perfectly healthy immune system, placed in the middle of a circle whose outer perimeter is slowly creeping in towards the middle. This inward creeping is caused by our "modifications" to the environment and includes the following; The electro magnetic and chemical pollutants in the air and water and in our food substances; the de-nurturing of our soils and seas; the medical pollutants in our bodies along with the increasing pace of life and stress and the erosion of many of our natural and family support systems.
Now, other individuals with less perfect immune systems live further out from the centre of the circle and some with even more depleted immunity are now living right at the outer edge where they are being directly affected by the encroachment.
These are the ones who are developing immune system illnesses which is just about everything from cancer to rheumatoid arthritis and includes all the new illnesses many of which are now being explained as resulting from genetic defects. I am sure this is all a fallacy. What is actually happening is that each individual so challenged will react in a different way to the assault and the ADD kids are simply reacting behaviourally.
The affect of giving them Maritime Pine is to dramatically improve the fundamentals of their immunity by scavenging free radicals. In the cases that red colouring or sugar for example, will turn some kids hyper at a birthday party by just temporally compromising their immunity, the ADD kids are being permanently affected in exactly the same way.
I have found that for male children, the treatment should also include the herb Phytolacca, which will help to moderate slightly the affects of their pre-puberty hormone swings even in kids as young as six or seven. These hormonal affects seem to be more pronounced in boys and seem to be affecting them earlier and earlier nowadays probably as a result of all the hormonal pollution in animal and poultry meat.
For girls, I don't find the same need to treat them with hormonal balancers, the straight Maritime Pine is OK on its own.
If all this is true, you should not forget the underlying message, which is that your child's immunity is severely compromised. Although the Maritime Pine will settle the immediate problem you should work toward rebuilding the whole of your child's immunity by paying much more attention to healthy habits and healthy food. Eating `junk food`, doing no exercise, sitting in front of a Cathode Ray Tube (TV or Computer Monitor), using medicines and having insufficient proper family support or inappropriate stress in their lives all contribute to depletion of your child's immunity.
ADD is just another warning sign that we are all in danger of reaping the 'rewards' of the thoughtless and uncontrolled experimentation with our environment and support systems during the 20th century
I have two treatment programs for kidney stones.
## The first being my Calcium Stone Mix which is found on the website at
And this one does ease the symptoms to some extent but is more to reverse the processes of stone formation and to break down steadily any existing stones into fine Gravel, which is easily passed.
The second treatment is an Acute Attack Mix; this contains antispasmodic herbs, which relax the cramping pain and others, which lubricate the passage of the stones. This mix is not shown on my standard list but is a proven formula. I don't like people taking it on its own because it does nothing to reverse the process of stone formation or to break down existing stones.
There are also some very simple things you can change in your eating and drinking habits, which make stone formation much less likely.
I look forward to helping you heal your condition.
