"Scalar Energy Several years ago, I discovered and developed the Barron Effect, which incorporates the principle of energy enhancement to modify the physical structure of herbs during the tincture manufactuting process. The net result is herbal tinctures that are over 100% stronger than anything the world has previously seen. In a sense, the use of scalar energy to enhance the effectiveness of nutritional products is an extension of that effect—but at the same time is an entirely different animal." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Dosages vary depending on the concentration of your herbal tincture. (You may be wondering why they call it c/zasteberry if it helps make women fertile. When given to a man, it reduces his sexual desire by increasing his progesterone level—which is why it is also called monk's pepper.) 2. Liver nutrients can be used, but not every day and not forever." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "The usual dose is 40 to 80 mg daily (2 to 4 ml of tincture, three times daily), but be aware that since its full effects may not be felt for two to three weeks, it is not much help if you need immediate relief. It works best over the long term. Because most studies of black cohosh lasted only six months, that is the recommended duration for its use, but I have prescribed it longer without ill effects. Vitamin E (800 mg/day) with evening primrose oil (4000 mg/day) has been shown to be helpful for hot flashes." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) "A quick, simple test that I like to do with my patients is to paint a patch of tincture of iodine (available at most drugstores) on their inner upper arm and see how long it takes for the resulting brown circle to disappear. If it is gone within two hours, I assume that the patient is very deficient. If she has enough iodine, her patch will still be seen on her arm after twenty-four hours. The longer it takes to disappear, the better her stores. If your skin patch is gone before twenty-four hours, I recommend supplementing with iodine and increasing iodine-rich foods in your diet." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"John's Wort heals nervous conditions and is anti-viral, for which I like to make an alcohol tincture to ingest. The soul of St. John's Wort can protect one from psychic attack or envidia. Because flower essences can often carry the soul imprint of a plant, a flowet essence would be useful in this case. As a wound herb St. John's wort is excellent both for physical wounds and ones in the energetic body. A strong signature of St. John's wort is perforations on the leaves and the bloodlike color exuded from the plant." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Daily use of the liver/detox tea and tincture is also required. What Can You Expect? If you are so inclined (and you should be) you should examine what you deposit in the toilet. Look for "stones." The bile from the liver gives some stones their pea green color. But also look for black stones and red ones and brown ones. And look for stones with blood inside them. During the course of a cleanse, it's not uncommon to pass some 2,000 of these stones. Be glad.

"Tinctures are prepared by soaking the herb in a solvent such as water or alcohol, then pressing out the solution. A tincture's strength is measured in terms of its concentration. A typical tincture is a 1:5 concentration—it contains five times as much solvent as herbal material. Because they contain so much solvent in comparison to the amount of herb, tinctures are the weakest and least economical forms of herbal supplement. Fluid extracts are made by evaporating most of the solvent to yield a 1:1 concentration of herb to solvent." - Dr. Julian Whitaker, The Memory Solution (Get the book.)
