Hello I just have a somewhat of a simple question here. E. Donaldson
Answer:Thanks for contacting us. I cannot say for sure about colloidal silver being able to treat MRSA. But I DO know that the type of Silver Sol that I have used successfully for years does. I fact, in the US, it has FDA approval claiming it can be used for MRSA, MERS and several other big bad microbes. In Canada, it has an NPN designation from Health CA. Niether of these are easy to get without volumes of research to back up the claims. This article may help you understand why and how they are different. If you are interested in getting a hold of this valuable protective aid, at a disocunt, please email me directly @ Lorene@NaturalPathRemedies.com. Thank you.

Q&A : Lung Healer – LH-C for Flu Virus or Colds?
Questions:
Hi Lorene:
1. Would you use this Chinese remedy for a flu virus and/or cold?
2. How does a person know without a blood test?
3. Can you use this remedy to build up immunity for winter?
Thanks. L.W.
Answers:
1. Absolutely; I would use LH-C, (US: Lung Support TCM), dosage 1capsule 3x/day, especially if any illness is affecting the lung area. Also keep in mind Lobelia, (US: Lobelia Essence), if there is coughing or pain. Use .5 ml – 3 – 5 x/day as needed. Lobelia can be applied externally as well, just a couple of drops over lung spots.
See separate write-up on Lobelia, as every household would benefit from having this on hand.
If it was more stomach related, (vomiting, nausea), I would probably tend more toward the Chinese anti-viral formula, HRP-C (2 or 3 – 3x/day for 100 count), (US: VS-C at 1 x 3/day for 30 count TCM), either liquid or capsules.
2. I think you know if you are sick. Whether viral or bacterial is not such an issue, as the herbs will help with both, by supporting your body’s natural immune system. Keep in mind that most doctors prescribe antibiotics without doing any blood tests, or if they do test, they prescribe drug(s) BEFORE they get the results. They also prescribe, even if viral is suspected, knowing that the drugs don’t work on viruses; but in this case they may claim it is to treat secondary infections, whether you have them or not.
3. LH-C definitely helps support and strengthen lungs to prevent most lung challenges, including infection; COPD /emphysema, prevention with broken rib; collapsed lung; respiratory allergies, to name a few.
Dr. Versendaal taught that lungs were 80% of our immune system, so I definitely believe strengthening lungs supports our overall health. This is a particularly good time of the year to work on this, as autumn is the time of year to treat the Metal element to balance lung and colon. I have used LH-C anytime of the year, but now is most effective.
Allergies, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis
I have so many successes with LH-C, that it is one of my favourite NSP products. A few that come to mind are:
- I have had it turn around pneumonia that has been resistant to drug based antibiotics for weeks, within 24 hours; allergies and asthma improve, and prevention of recurring lung infections.
- COPD and asthma – people dependant on chemical puffers and nebulizers have greatly improved their lung function – and decreased their drug dependency – often within weeks, by using LH-C and Lobelia.
- allergies to pollen, dust, molds – improved by using LH-C and Lobelia
On the emotional side, LH-C is also very helpful for releasing grief.
LH-C and Lobelia, are two herbals I travel with every winter, as this is the time of year, so many people come down with lung related issues. I have several articles about Lobelia, but you can check out multiple uses in #6 on this one: Herbal First Aid.
Please let me know if there is anything else. with which I can help.

Q & A: Female Period Regulation
Question:
My 12 year old daughter is needing to have her period regulate – you had suggested Women’s Formula quite a while ago, but she didn’t want to take pills. Now she is ready. How many should she do?
DF
Answer:
For a 12 yr. old, I would start with Female Comfort (US) / Women’s Formula (CA) 4/day for 1 month, (2×2) then if not getting desired results , increase to 2 x3, (or 3X2 if this is too difficult timing wise) until regulation starts. Once you have regulation – from 25 – 33 days for one or two months, with a normal flow, then decrease to 4/day. After a few months, 2/day may be effective. Each woman is different.
Whenever there is extreme dysmenorrhea, i.e. pain, cramping, excess bleeding, I suggest starting with 6/day, then once one or 2 periods are better, once can decrease to 4/day.
Some women will take 2-3/day until 1 week before period, then increase to 6/day for the last week to have a trouble free menses. FYI: This also works very well for peri-menopause.
Periods should not be painful, exhausting, or otherwise difficult when hormones are balanced. If her condition does not balance out within a few months, please get back to me, as there are several options and other solutions.
Of course, nutritional diet, good bowel movement, exercise, plenty of water, no sugar, stress reduction; all the things clearly explained in my Paw Paw Program book, are important, no matter what the condition.

Paw Paw Cell Reg Availability & Options
Update April , 2022:
Please contact us to order.
If you are considering ordering Paw Paw Cell Reg within North America, please contact us directly for best options.
If or when this herb is not available due to demand; regulations of your country, or prohibitive shipping , please read our 3rd section below: “For Other Countries”, to see other options we have used, with excellent success, before Paw Paw was researched and available.
If supply is limited, it may be due to Quality, or government regulations, such as in CA and AU. NSP will never compromise on quality by purchasing or producing inferior strength ingredients. Herbs are natural substances and due to nature, active chemicals can vary, in the case of Paw Paw, Asimina triloba, this means levels of several acetogenins. NSP is one of the few companies with capabilities to test to this degree to ensure potency.
In these cases, please contact us; we will do support you in your healing journey.
Lorene’s 3rd Edition of the Paw Paw Program was released January, 2020:
- US: Please order through PayPal top right of this page.
- CA: save $ and order by contacting us directly.
- Other countries: need to go through us. Amazon? you will get 1st or 2nd Ed. and no support
The 2019 Truth About Cancer, Asian series by Ty & Charlene Bollinger, has confirmed that our approach works! Most of the research presented in this series has been in Lorene Benoit’s book, first published in 2010, and her teaching since 1990. From diet, pH, pleomorphism, herbs, emotions, sugar and oxygen connection, cellular energy and so much more – years after book publication- the research continues to support why our program works. Many of these approaches are available in all Asian countries. One doctor stated: “Medical terrorism is being practiced in North America with the limited options available to patients.”
If Paw Paw is not available, we still follow the Basic Program (minus Paw Paw) and add specifics from the Paw Paw Upgrade.
There may be personal limits if supply is limited. This limit is to ensure those who need it can get it, and to keep it off illegal online markets such as Amazon and EBay, where there have been serious problems. You may buy clothes or kitchen supplies on Amazon, but trust your health to professionals who can help you!
Paw Paw Cell Reg was out of stock May – Dec, 2018. The shortage was due to quality of the harvest, resulting in lower quantity of active acetogenins. Nature’s Sunshine will NOT compromise on quality.
US: Options for Purchasing Paw Paw Cell Reg
1) Retail if you just want 1 or 2 bottles and no consultation. $80 USD (& taxes, S/H). I will send you a PayPal invoice for this, which you can pay with most credit cards; no PayPal account necessary.

For other countries:
Info on these three formulas can be found in this article: Paw Paw Program Upgrade.
Suggested dosage is 3-4 caps each per day – split 2-3 times/day. The ETea can also be opened and made into a pleasant tasting tea, with which to take the other herbs. The other supplements of Basic Paw Paw program remain the same.
Another important health supplement highly researched and effective for cancer, which was mentioned multiple times by doctors in 7 out of 7 Asian countries in the 2019 Truth About Cancer, is Turmeric Curcumin with Piper Nigrum.
As studies and research show conclusive positive effects on reversing cancer. Besides anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, turmeric helps improve intestinal microbiome, and can help reduce pain.
Be sure to use one that contains enough curcuminoids, the active ingredient, to help! We use a standardized concentrate. This means 2 vegi-capsules equal 1.4 pounds of whole turmeric root. For comparison, you might need 50 -200 capsules of regular turmeric capsules to have this potency, or try eating 1.4 pounds per day?!

Tinnitus and blocked middle ear
Question:
Hi there, I have been suffering from tinnitus in one ear for a couple of years but recently an ear examination showed that my middle ear is likely blocked but I have tried everything and nothing has worked, just wondering if you have any ideas?
Answer:
A little difficult to answer, as you say you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I do not know if you mean everything doctors or natural health practitioners have suggested?
Has an ear specialist determined if the middle ear is blocked with wax, mucous, a growth, inflammation, or a physical deformity of the ear bones? Knowing this could certainly make a difference in treatment options.
A few things I would suggest for any of the first 4 causes are Lobelia and CBG internally. Lobelia is a de-obstruant, pain reliever and anti- inflammatory, with some natural anti- microbial action. CBG contains herbs that help break down mucous, as well as fight infection, which may be an underlying cause of inflammation. It could also be help with possible allergic reactions, but again, determining the allergen is important for complete resolution.
You may have some relief with proper ear candling. If one treatment provides some relief, you would benefit from several, using 2 drops of essential oils of Lavender and Tea Tree after each session. If one treatment does not help, you would still feel better from it.
If it is a structural problem, then corrective surgery may be required.
Sorry, but this is all I can offer with the information you have given me. Should you wish more detail, please consider a mini session of 20 minutes, and we may be able to resolve this long term issue.
Natural healing is not a ” here take this pill” fast fix. It is doing detective work to determine the cause and remove this to the solution. Please get in touch again if you are interested in trying any of the herbs I suggested, as I can get you quality products from the supplier I have used since 1990, at the best prices.
Previous articles under the archives of Ears and Hearing may help you.
Thank you and all the best.
2 Paw Paw Questions
Question :
How do I purchase paw paw I can rely on? Ronan
Answer:
The Paw Paw that has been tested as effective in Dr. McLaughlin’s research is the bark of the spring twig of species Asimina triloba, and packaged by Nature’s Sunshine Products. The best way to ensure you are getting the real thing is to purchase through a trustworthy NSP practitioner, such as myself, or my fellow practitioners. This article will give you more details about choosing the best Paw Paw.
WE STRONGLY discourage Amazon!
Besides being illegal for Nature’s Sunshine products to be sold on Amazon, we have seen items open, expired, re-labelled or otherwise altered when clients purchase from Amazon! NSP has a compliance department that shuts down Amazon sellers, but new ones pop up.
NSP cannot stand behind the quality of any products sold via Amazon.
Amazon is an electronic garage sale NOT to be used on herbs/proteins/supplements that you ingest. You are dealing with your health, not a gadget and you deserve better.
We look forward to working with you on this very important journey. Obviously we prefer that you contact us to order, so we can also offer you knowledgable support on your journey, as well as ensuring you get the wholesale discounted price.
A good place to start is reading Lorene’s Paw Paw Program page and articles on her Research Blog under Cancer Archives.
Question:
What can I use instead of Paw Paw, if it is out of stock? many people asked
Answer:
Paw Paw is now available again since Dec 4, 2018 . Please contact us to order.
Approved sources were out of stock since May. The shortage was due to quality of the recent harvest, drying and standardizing of active acetogenins. Nature’s Sunshine will NOT compromise on quality.
A bit of info on these three formulas can be found in this article:
Q & A: Excema – Back to Health Basics
Question:
Answer:
Digestion and Assimilation:
- enzymes – either Digestive Enzymes (Food Enzymes – US) or Garden Essence (Proactazyme – US). Both of these are full spectrum, meaning they digest proteins, starches, fats, cellulose, etc.
- Probiotoic 11 . Contains eleven strains to promote healthy gut micro-biome.
Elimination:
- making sure one has 2-3 healthy bowel movements per day. This may mean using a formula such as Bowel Build on a daily basis for several months. With a good bowel building and toning product, as your bowel gets healthier, you need less of it.
- cleansing is always important. Three of the best suited cleanses to choose from are : Clean Start, Detox Basics or Tiao He Pak.
Topically, for relief of pain and itching, as well as to promote healing, I would also consider adding an Essential Oil blend, such as Core or Refuge to either Silver Gel, Pau D’Arco Lotion Nature’s Fresh Enzyme Spray or Aloe Vera Gel. Sorry to give you so many choices, but different strokes for different folks.

Q & A: Ringworm, molluscum and other skin conditions
This is a series of emails between a client and Lorene, which might be helpful to others. My responses are in italics.
It may seem frustrating to use different herbs for different conditions, but when compared to the number of multiple drugs, all with very negative side effects, this is really simple.
Our family has used all of these herbal remedies with amazing results over the last 35 years. By results I mean faster resolution, less expensive and no side negative effects than a medical prescriptive route. A few examples of successes can be found under Success Stories.
There ARE frequently positive side effects, such as a remedy effecting a benefit not being treated. Two examples:
- using black walnut for ringworm, also helps to support the thyroid and strengthen tooth enamel.
- using an herbal formula to help allergies and lungs will often help a sluggish colon.
June 9th: Hi Lorene,
Our family is now living in Texas . It is pretty interesting. One of the things about living here is that the kids have gotten lots of different skin stuff that we never had in Canada. Right now my middle son has something called Molluscum Contagiosum. It is smallish white bumps on his left leg that spread and can last for a long time- they are from a virus kind of like planters warts etc. I have tried a couple different topical treatments, but nothing is getting it from its source.
I remembered that when I was in high school, (editor’s note- about 20+ yrs. ago), I had really bad planters warts on my feet and you had given me 2 different things to take- I think one was beta carotene? And I can’t remember the other. Can you recommend something for me to try with him? I really really appreciate it!
Thankyou so much! JH
You can order as a new member in US – free- please use account # 1143667 and become a CLASSIC member. Or I can order for you using our account. As it can seem complicated for first time order, just let me know what, your new address, ph# etc. I can phone & get your details of payment & place first order for you; no charge.
Jun 12: Hi Lorene,
Thank you for getting back to me! I just ordered the liquid VS-C and hopefully with tea tree that will help. I’ve tried a bunch of other stuff, and it has helped some but new ones keep popping up, he also has some staph infection happening as well- and just got over some nasty impetigo, I was getting pretty desperate so just got him some antibiotics… I don’t think he has ever been on antibiotics before. We might have to come see you when we are on the island!
Lots of love, JH
Or something similar, which he had last summer and was misdiagnosed as ringworm. Just this time it looked kind of different so the doctor I think didn’t know what it was. Hopefully the VS-C can take care of both the moluscum & pityriasis.

Q & A: Bladder, Bowel, and cramping
Question(s):
Answer(s):
For both trigger finger and leg cramps, one may need more Magnesium. I work with 3 types, Magnesium tablets, Magnesium Complex and Magnesium Malate. For this challenge, most people find that Magnesium tablets work best.
Apple cider vinegar is a good source of some minerals, especially Potassium, which can be good for cramps and spasms. Rather than ordering from the US, you may find just adding 1-3 Tsp. (5-15 ml.) pure, unpasteurized apple cidre vinegar to 1 cup room temperature or warm water and take your Magnesium, plus 1 Calcium Magnesium if needed, with this. If this does not bring needed relief, please contact me; there are other options. But I always like to start with the simplest first.
Hope this helps Bette. Congratulations on having taken a proactive approach to natural health. Along the way you have helped many others. You have been a loyal Nature’s Sunshine user since the early 90’s and still going strong at a good, old age! Keep it up.
Q & A: Glucosamine and knee health
Question:
Answer:
Yes, I think it can help, depending on quality and type of glucosamine. My results with NSP Glucosamine (CA) / Glucosamine (US) have been very good. This formula also contains Cat’s Claw, Uña de gato, which is an excellent anti-inflammatory, so is especially effective when there is pain.
Glucosamine stimulates production of cartilage in joints. In some people, natural production of glucosamine slows with age, leaving cartilage unable to retain water and function as a shock absorber. This inability to create glucosamine is considered a major factor in the development of osteoarthritis. Benefits of taking glucosamine are reported to be cumulative, providing greater results the longer taken.
Please note:
Links for product recommendations that we know work change frequently. Please contact us for up to date recommends, as well as 20-25% discounts with Free S/H, PLUS our support.
An Italian study determined glucosamine treatment for inflammatory disorders proved
10-30 times better than treatment with a leading drug (indocin), due to the drug’s
extremely high toxicity . Inflammatory disorders, such as osteoarthritis, often require
long-term treatment.
The other supplement that I feel is very good for all structural parts of the body, is Collatrim (CA) /Collatrim(US). Collagen is the main fibrous protein of connective tissue in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and skin. Collatrim Plus is an easy to take powder, which when taken before bed, also helps people sleep better, and “lose while you snooze”.
For more tips on Weight Loss, see Weight Loss Archives.
One other formula which contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Devil’s Claw and Hyaluronic Acid, is Everflex (CA) / Everflex (US). Different strokes for different folks….
For results from a current challenge, one would take at least 3 months full dosage, to effect change. For ongoing prevention and maintenance, one would continue to take, but at a lower dose. The optimum dosage may depend on many things, so paying attention to one’s body is very important.
As you know clean diet, like the one in Paw Paw Program, hydration and movement are all essential to any healing process.
