I decided I needed to whip out the big guns in the form of cayenne pepper, and for me this is huge since I did not like hot stuff. Since then I have learned to love a dash of cayenne hear and there. I mixed the cayenne with some raw honey and because I had been exposed to strep throat I took extra precautions by adding some garlic. After forcing this down every

My kiddos always referred to it as sick syrup (because they know it in glycerite form) and I like to call it "Heal All" because it seems to do just that. No matter the ailment I always use this blend, many times combining it with others. It is the number one thing I make sure to have on

This is a super simple formula by Dr. Christopher to support the lymph system of the body.

Lymph are an important part of the immune system so keeping them cleansed and nourished means they are working at 100% for your body by getting rid of invaders such as viruses and

There is nothing like the healing benefits of garlic. I have no problem taking garlic because it is so yummy and my favorite foods contain plenty of it. Children on the other hand are another story, it is pretty difficult to sneak garlic into their food, my solution to this - garlic oil.
