I can't find the cost of the remedies. What do the remedies cost?

The cost for the remedies are found on the order forms found under Cost/Ordering in the menu to the left. Since so many diffferent countries, monetary systems, taxes and shipping costs are involved, we found it too chaotic to try and list all the costs on one page. When you click the order form for your country, it will show the costs. The remedies cost the same for Program 1 and Program 2. You do not need to fill out the order form to see the costs.

Is there no remedy for the kidney tubules in Program 2? Why is it not needed in Program 2?

In Program 2, the Kidney remedy is composed of both the remedies for the kidneys as a whole and remedies for the kidney tubules. The #1 Kidney Tubule remedy plus the #2 Kidney remedy of Program 1 are the same as Kidney B remedy of Program 2.

Do I have to use a phosphate test kit for Program 1?

This is a matter of personal choice. Some people like the feed-back that the phosphate test kit gives them, and others don't want to be bothered with the test kit and would rather just go by how they feel. Both methods are totally acceptable.
 

The main use of the phosphate test kit is to confirm that the tubules are functioning well, both in the beginning and if herbs are re-introduced.

Do I need a phosphate test kit for Program 2?

One of the major uses of the phosphate test kit is to show whether phosphate elimination has increased, indicating that the tubules are working efficiently and the backlog of phosphates is starting to clear. If this is not the case, more remedy #1 for the tubules is needed. Since Program 2 combines the tubule and kidney remedies, this is no longer a concern. People are taking the tubule remedy every time they take the kidney remedy. The body has it available whenever it needs it, and if the body does not need more tubule remedy, it will just ignore it.
 

The other major use of the test kit is to see if taking herbs interferes with your calcium phosphate elimination. If this is of concern to you, you may want to use a phosphate test kit to give you this information.

Do I need to avoid Salicylic Acid while taking the Custom Homeopathics remedies?

You do not need to avoid salicylic acid while you are taking the liver remedy.
 

In the first few weeks of the kidney remedies it is wise to avoid aspirin, anything that lists salicylic acid as an ingredient and herbal pills. Shampoos, cosmetics and toothpastes that do not list salicylic acid as an ingredient are not a problem.
 

The remedies are not "blocked" by salicylic acid. Nearly everyone we test who has calcium phosphate accumulation also has salicylic acid accumulation in their kidney tubules. Once this is gone, their tubules appear to be able to cope with salicylic acid, and the longer they are without salicyclic acid, the better they seem able to tolerate it.
 

Since it doesn't make sense to try and remove salicylic acid with the remedies and at the same time ingest more, we suggest that people do not use salicylic acid while the kidney remedies are trying to clear it out.

We have worked successfully with people for whom it is medically necessary to take salicylic acid. If this is your situation, please let us know.

Is this the type of homeopathic that I cannot drink coffee during the treatment of? I will DIE of course. Please let me know?

You do not need to avoid coffee, mint or any spices while taking the remedies. Avoiding these things is sometimes advised for using classic homeopathic remedies. Since we use drainage remedies, these substances will not interfere with the remedies.
 

Avoiding caffeine for health reasons is a different consideration, and we do suggest that caffeine is not of benefit for your overall health.

Do I need a liver remedy first? It is the calcium phosphate accumulation I am concerned about.

Many toxins that interfere with the kidneys doing their job of clearing the phosphate accumulation are disposed of by the liver, once they are released from the kidneys. If the liver is not functioning well due to its own toxic load, it can be overwhelmed when the kidneys send their load to the liver. Thus the liver needs to be cleared first, to allow the remedies to clear the kidneys so that the kidneys can eliminate the calcium phosphate accumulation.

If I take more than 1 drop of the liver remedy I don't feel good. How will I ever get to 5 drops?

Sometimes when people increase from 1 drop to 2 drops, they find that they do not feel well. This indicates that 2 drops is releasing too much toxicity for your liver to deal with. By using 1 drop repeatedly, enough of the toxicity will clear that you will be able to increase to 2 drops and feel good - usually within 1 or 2 weeks. After that you will find that you are able to slowly increase to 3, 4 and then 5 drops.

What if I find that 1 drop of the liver remedy is still too much for me?

For some people the amount of toxin released by 1 drop is too much for their liver to deal with. If this happens for you, we will work with you with a very gentle herbal cleanse program. This will release enough of the toxins that you will be able to begin the liver remedy.

Are you connected to Dr. P. St. Amand? I find logical inconsistencies in your approach to him. In parts you agree with him, in other parts you disagree. What gives?

We are not in any way connected with Dr. P. St. Amand, except for having great respect and gratitude for his work.

In science it is common for researchers to begin by understanding bits and pieces of a puzzle like MF/CFS. It takes a brilliant and intuitive person, such as Dr. P. St. Amand, to put all the pieces together in a cohesive theory. This theory then serves as a springboard for treatment and further research.
 

In politics, the question is always who it loyal to who. In science that is never the question. In science the question concerns the accuracy of a theory in explaining what we observe. It is never about agreeing or disagreeing with a person. It is always about examining the theory, corroborating it where you can, calling it into question where it needs further exploration. This is the scientific process. To question a theory does not imply disloyalty or disrespect for the developer of the theory. In fact, to critically examine a theory is the ultimate mark of respect for it.

Thus it is good that you find what you call inconsistencies. It means we have paid the theory the respect of examining it carefully, working with it, corroborating it where our experience supports it, and pointing out where our experience does not support it. This only appears as inconsistencies if you try to use our remarks to determine if we are “fur 'im” or “agin’ 'im”.
 

In brief we are “fur 'im”. We feel that Dr. P. St Amand’s theories have helped us all get a better understanding of this disease. We obviously each have our own views of how to implement that theory, which results in more choice for those wanting to regain their life. This can only be of benefit for all of us.

Do you think FM/CFS is due to a genetic problem with the kidneys filtering phosphates?

When we began this project, that is the theory we used. While we now think there is some evidence of a genetic component, we think this is related a susceptibility for viruses, bacteria, and other factors to cause calcium phosphate deposits in the kidneys and pineal gland.There may also be a genetic susceptibility resulting in salicylic acid and sulphonamides being problematic in kidney and liver function.

These factors cause problems in the kidneys eliminating calcium phosphates and in melatonin not being available for the ATP cycle, which results in further calcium phosphate accumulation throughout the body. There is an in depth explanation on the pineal gland page.
