*** Aspergillus 30X - Aspergillus represents many related fungi, which can cause aspergillosis (An invasive infection can affect the eye, causing blindness, and any other organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys. The third form occurs almost exclusively in people who are immunosuppressed because of cancer, AIDS, leukemia, organ transplants, high doses of corticosteroid drugs, chemotherapy, or other diseases that reduce the number of normal white blood cells.) which represents a group of similar infections. This disease most often affects the external ear and the lungs. Aspergillus is common in soil and the spores will become airborne in dry windy weather. Spores can enter and grow in building and ventilation systems and the lungs, ears and eyes.
*** Cryptococcus neoformans causes crytococcosis and can result in Crytococcus meningitis. It is a pathogen that can fatally infect those with impaired immune systems like HIV.
*** Hystoplasma capsulatum causes hystoplasmosis, (The lung infection can be short-term (acute) and relatively mild, or it can be long-term (chronic) and serious. Symptoms of the acute lung infection are tiredness, fever, chills, chest pains, and a dry cough. The chronic lung infection is like tuberculosis and occurs mostly in persons who already have lung disease. It can progress over months or years and can scar the lungs. Disseminated histoplasmosis results in a variety of serious symptoms and can involve all body organs. The liver and spleen usually become enlarged, and sores in the mouth or gastrointestinal tract can develop. Disseminated histoplasmosis can be fatal.) It most often causes mild fever and malaise, but can become progressive in a small number of cases. The infection is airborne and enters through the lungs and can be fatal in some cases, especially for those with immunodeficiency.
*** Penicillium notatum and some closely related species of Penicillium are occasional causes of infection to man. First symptoms associated with this infection are sudden onset allergies, and it also can infect the ear and cornea. It has been identified as a contributing cause in some cases of Sick Building Syndrome. Penicillium can produce penicillin and some people are highly allergic to this antibiotic.
*** Alternaria - These spores are known to be prevalent sources of allergens in the atmosphere, generally causing symptoms associated with respiratory problems. Such symptoms include allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Several studies have shown associations between Alternaria and severe asthma.
*** Cladosporium - Over 50% of patients tested in one allergy clinic who had allergy symptoms tested positive from this and other species of Cladosporium. Cladosporium has been shown to be a common cause of extrinsic asthma (immediate-type hypersensitivity: type I). Acute symptoms include edema and bronchi spasms, chronic cases may develop pulmonary emphysema. Another health factor to consider is toxicity in some strains, some were noted to have ringworm-like symptoms and hair loss due to cladosporium exposure on the skin.
*** Helminthasporium is considered a nonpathogenic fungi, but is a real problem on plants. It can cause considerable distress in allergic patients. As a fungal allergen, it can be a contributing factor in Sick Building Syndrome. It is a common airborne contaminant.
*** Stachybotrys Chartarum (atra) is a greenish-black fungus found worldwide that colonizes particularly well in high-cellulose material, such as straw, hay, wet leaves, dry wall, carpet, wall paper, fiber-board, ceiling tiles, thermal insulation, etc. Stachybotrys produces a mycotoxin that causes human mycotoxicosis. This type of mold is thought to be a possible cause of the "Sick Building Syndrome."
*** Chaetomium sp. It is found on a variety of substrates containing cellulose, including paper and plant compost. It has been found on paper in sheetrock and has been reported to cause allergy symptoms. Contributing factor in "Sick Building Syndrome".

If you want to read up on "Sick Building Syndrome" here is the EPA definition and information link:
"Biological contaminants: Bacteria, molds, pollen, and viruses are types of biological contaminants. These contaminants may breed in stagnant water that has accumulated in ducts, humidifiers and drain pans, or where water has collected on ceiling tiles, carpeting, or insulation. Sometimes insects or bird droppings can be a source of biological contaminants. Physical symptoms related to biological contamination include cough, chest tightness, fever, chills, muscle aches, and allergic responses such as mucous membrane irritation and upper respiratory congestion."

This Vitamin D article talking about how Vitamin D can reduce the risk of some cancers was released in the UK on Dec 28th, the same day that the US released an article cautioning Americans against taking too much Vitamin D. Now proper doseage in an natural supplement is important, but I think it is rather telling, that the US makes a specific point to counter this article that comes out by publishing a scare news release on Vitamin D. This article did not make US press, but just in case it did, they want to be sure everyone would just ignore it. After I posted the link to the article I find out that the whole article is no longer available unless you pay for a subscription. I have e-mailed them requesting to buy the rights to print this in my snail mail newsletter this Spring. The article has such profound implications, that is really makes me mad that this information is not easy to get and is always so hard to find. The other thing that is important to understand is that Vitamin D is very inexpensive and to help prevent 50% of cancers with a daily dose of a supplement that only costs pennies does not fit into the current cancer treatment scenario in the US. With that said, please take time to read this article that I have copied for educational and fair use and make a personal copy.

VITAMIN D - UK Research Says Can Prevent Cancer!
THE PILL THAT PREVENTS CANCER!
Published: 28 December 2005
"A daily dose of vitamin D could cut the risk of cancers of the breast, colon and ovary by up to a half, a 40-year review of research has found. The evidence for the protective effect of the "sunshine vitamin" is so overwhelming that urgent action must be taken by public health authorities to boost blood levels, say cancer specialists.

A growing body of evidence in recent years has shown that lack of vitamin D may have lethal effects. Heart disease, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis are among the conditions in which it is believed to play a vital role. The vitamin is also essential for bone health and protects against rickets in children and osteoporosis in the elderly.

Vitamin D is made by the action of sunlight on the skin, which accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply. But the increasing use of sunscreens and the reduced time spent outdoors, especially by children, has contributed to what many scientists believe is an increasing problem of vitamin D deficiency.

After assessing almost every scientific paper published on the link between vitamin D and cancer since the 1960s, US scientists say that a daily dose of 1,000 international units (25 micrograms) is needed to maintain health. " The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency combined with the discovery of increased risks of certain types of cancer in those who are deficient, suggest that vitamin D deficiency may account for several thousand premature deaths from colon, breast, ovarian and other cancers annually," they say in the online version of the American Journal of Public Health.

The dose they propose of 1,000 IU a day is two-and-a-half times the current recommended level in the US. In the UK, there is no official recommended dose but grey skies and short days from October to March mean 60 per cent of the population has inadequate blood levels by the end of winter.

The UK Food Standards Agency maintains that most people should be able to get all the vitamin D they need from their diet and "by getting a little sun". But the vitamin can only be stored in the body for 60 days.

High rates of heart disease in Scotland have been blamed on the weak sunlight and short summers in the north, leading to low levels of vitamin D. Differences in sunlight may also explain the higher rates of heart disease in England compared with southern Europe. Some experts believe the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet may have as much to do with the sun there as with the regional food.

In the latest study, cancer specialists from the University of San Diego, California, led by Professor Cedric Garland, reviewed 63 scientific papers on the link between vitamin D and cancer published between 1966 and 2004. People living in the north-eastern US, where it is less sunny, and African Americans with darker skins were more likely to be deficient, researchers found. They also had higher cancer rates.

The researchers say their finding could explain why black Americans die sooner from cancer than whites, even after allowing for differences in income and access to care.

Professor Garland said: "A preponderance of evidence from the best observational studies... has led to the conclusion that public health action is needed. Primary prevention of these cancers has been largely neglected, but we now have proof that the incidence of colon, breast and ovarian cancer can be reduced dramatically by increasing the public's intake of vitamin D." Obtaining the necessary level of vitamin D from diet alone would be difficult and sun exposure carries a risk of triggering skin cancer. "The easiest and most reliable way of getting the appropriate amount is from food and a daily supplement," they say. The UK Food Standards Agency said that taking Vitamin D supplements of up to 1,000 IU was " unlikely to cause harm".

WHAT VITAMIN D CAN DO

Heart disease - Vitamin D works by lowering insulin resistance, which is one of the major factors leading to heart disease.

Lung disease - Lung tissue undergoes repair and "remodelling" in life and, since vitamin D influences the growth of a variety of cell types, it may play a role in this lung repair process.

Cancers (breast, colon, ovary, prostate) - Vitamin D is believed to play an important role in regulating the production of cells, a control that is missing in cancer. It has a protective effect against certain cancers by preventing overproduction of cells.

Diabetes - In type 1 diabetes the immune system destroys its own cells. Vitamin D is believed to act as an immunosuppressant. Researchers believe it may prevent an overly aggressive response from the immune system.

High blood pressure - Vitamin D is used by the parathyroid glands that sit on the thyroid gland in the neck. These secrete a hormone that regulates the body's calcium levels. Calcium, in turn, helps to regulate blood pressure, although the mechanism is not yet completely understood.

Schizophrenia - The chance of developing schizophrenia could be linked to how sunny it was in the months before birth. A lack of sunlight can lead to vitamin D deficiency, which scientists believe could alter the growth of a child's brain in the womb.

Multiple sclerosis - Lack of vitamin D leads to limited production of 1.25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the hormonal form of vitamin D3 which regulates the immune system, creating a risk for MS.

Rickets and osteoporosis - The vitamin strengthens bones, protecting against childhood rickets and osteoporosis in the elderly.

Many people ask me about hair loss. There are a number of reasons for it. Hormonal changes, glandular disruption, lack of minerals, a parasitic infection, too much stress on the nervous system, severe body dryness, and so on.

The easy way to address the mineral situation and make sure that you are getting enough is take 1 oz. of the HHA Colloidal Minerals in juice once a day. This has many other benefits as well. The hormone problem can be helped in women, by using the Women in Balance, for men, the Super Male Plex. Some environmental toxins are actually causing Endocrine disruptions and for this I recommend the Endocine Complex - 2 caps once a day. Thyroid malfunction can also cause hair loss. If you have experienced sudden hair loss, where it is coming out in bunches, this is the natural supplement you should try. Evening Primrose. Use 2 twice a day and give it at least 2 months. I have seen some great results with this.

1. General Testimonials - covers many HHA products
Jan. 2006
"Greetings and a Blessed, Prosperous and Healthy New Year to all. I cannot begin to say enough good things about all of the products I have ordered and used faithfully from Herbal Healer. Beta Glucans, Vitamin C time release formula, Dr. Chi's Asparagus Extract and most importantly the Apple Cider Vinegar tablets. I have weight to lose, but these tablets do more than just truly, help you lose weight. They give you an overall feeling of well-being and you can feel your body thanking you for feeding it a product so healthy. I noticed my skin improved, my eyesight improve, my stomach was not gaseous (as I am feeding my family healthy, lots of nutritious legumes, fiber-filled beans etc. The Apple Cider Vinegar tablets eliminate the bloated feeling and definitely are the cause of healthy everyday BM's. Truly, I call them my miracle tablet. I placed my 17 year old daughter on them and she too experienced clearer healthier skin, no acne and gradual healthy weight loss. Vinegar (apple cider) has long been touted by sages of old as a miracle cure for everything! I have been to hospitals (I am a caregiver) and I watch sadly as people place so much faith in those expensive chemicals that are slowly hurting their bodies. I took care of a 75 year old woman and slowly, with each visit to the doctor's office, watched the medical community place her on at least 1 or 2 pills each visit. They worked on her from 1 pill to a total of 12 pills. I asked the doctor, who's down there in her digestive system directing each pill where to go? He answered me back with "Good question"???? Now I ask you!! This is a free country, but everyone should be at least willing to try the apple cider vinegar tablets - you've nothing to lose and everything to gain. I am sure there are many other products from HHA that will help you. My oldest daughter loves the HHA Essiac Tea. We have tried it and found it to be very refreshing and will be ordering more of that too! I could go on and on but truly with HHA products believe that the Lord Jesus wants us to use these natural herbs that He left us a long time ago while putting Creation in place - remember after all the bushes, trees, leaves nuts and berries were created He looked over all and said IT IS GOOD!!!! From that day to this day, His Word has never changed. Thank you for such wonderful, natural products that leave you with your sanity, good judgment and the overall feeling that you truly are doing something good for your mind, body and soul. God bless, a faithful believer and HHA member."

2. Testimonials on the HHA 4-HERB TEA
Jan. 2006 "I received my box today with my 4-Herb Tea and my brown bottles. Just felt the need to thank you for your marvelous service. You and your staff do a superior job and I appreciate it. We have been using the 4 Herb Tea for many years and have never had a cold or the flu since we started. While we are surrounded by friends who suffer bronchial conditions, common colds and various types of flu every winter season, we seem to sail right along without ever getting any of these ailments. We know it is the tea that does it. I wish everyone would try it, if only for this reason, never mind all the rest of the things it is supposed to do. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Lived all my life with respiratory problems. All gone!" --J.G ~ HHA Member since 1977

Jan. 2006
I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer on Aug 8, 2005. I immediately changed my diet to that of a vegan(no meat-no dairy). I started taking 4 herb tea 3-4 times per day. I also drank liquid Colloidal Silver and took Dr. Chi's Reishi spore extract capsules, Vit. C, Beta Glucans, Revivin and Coral Calcium. I only drink ph 11 water. No caffeine or sugar at all. I had a grapefruit sized tumor and 6 inches of my colon removed along with a complete hysterectomy on 9/8/05. My ca-125 blood test was 5,000 then (a normal ca-125 is 0-35) I'm very pleased to inform the world that I now am a "5" Cancer free and without CHEMO! The doctor told me I wouldn't stand a chance without chemo but between God, prayers, my positive will to live, my families love and my husbands knowledge of Herbal Healer and all of these products, I AM alive and very healthy today January 7, 2006. I never did feel ill throughout my journey. I did however have extensive healing from the operation. I am a realtor and back to work with and healing with more energy each day. Thank you Herbal Healer Academy for letting the world know you too can beat cancer the natural way!
