So let's go ahead and get right into the presentation. So if you don't know who I am, my name is Chelsea Knudson. I'm glad you landed on my channel. I am a fibroid healing coach and I'm a life transformation coach. And I help Christian women heal wound issues and emotional traumas using food, herbs, God's word and prayer as medicine. So if you want more information about that, please check out my website at whatchelsieeats.com. And also if you haven't subscribed, subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode. And let's go ahead and get right into these topics about herbs. I wanna explain something to you about herbs really quickly because I have recently gotten some things in my Instagram direct messages where people are like, can I take this herb for that and this herb for that? And those are very good questions. But what I want you to know is that herbs are just what they are. They're herbs, they are something, they are a tool that's going to help you on your healing journey. And you cannot continue to do the things that you've been doing to disrupt your hormones, to cause fibroids to grow or cysts to grow. You can't keep doing that stuff and expect to take the herbs to make all of that, all betters and you can continue on with your lifestyle because it doesn't work that way. Herbs are designed to go alongside you in your healing process. That's what they are, they are a tool. Just like a detox method is a tool, just like eating healthy food is a tool. Getting your emotions in check is a tool. Those are just tools in your toolbox that's gonna help you to your overall goal. And I wanted to make sure that I clear that up because there are people out here selling herbs and they're like, this herb is going to help you do this or that and it may give you some relief and it may give you some help, it's true. Like you could take my herbs and don't do anything and like to change your lifestyle and you may get some relief, but overall it's not making the problem go away unless you stop doing what's causing the problem. You have to get to the root of the problem. So there's that. The other thing is once you start taking herbs you have to be consistent, take them every day. Sometimes you skip a day here and there, that's fine, but if you wanna see the result for the particular herb that you're taking, we'll say you're taking, you want it to help your hair stop, stop falling out or something like that. Like you have my grow your hair tea or whatever and that seems to be like a really popular tea right now in my shop. But if you wanted to help you, you can't drink it on Monday and then Friday and then Monday and Tuesday and then Thursday and then expect to get the results you're looking for. Be consistent, drink it every day. So if you're just now joining me, I'm having a 20% off herbal blends sale in my shop. No code needed. The sale is today through Monday and I may even extend the sale till Tuesday but right now it's Monday. So if you're interested, the link is down in the description box below or go to whatchelsieeats.com and click on herbal blends. The first herb that I don't have in front of me, I thought I had it in front of me, but I don't. It's called elderberry. Lots of people drink elderberry. But I wanna just say one thing about elderberry. If you're somebody who is struggling with heavy bleeding or you have low iron or your iron has been unpredictable in your body or you've been taking iron tablets and they're not really helping, a daily dose, like a teaspoon of just adding a teaspoon, like one teaspoon to your herbal blend tea every day is going to help boost your iron stores. The other thing you could do with elderberry, elderberries, the ones that I sell, is you can take that teaspoon and put it in your blender and blend it up in your smoothie and get a boost of iron that way as well. So if you're really low on iron, there's nothing wrong with adding some additional help by adding elderberries. So I just wanted to give you that tip. So I have elderberries in stock right now, add them to whatever tea blend that you're drinking right now or add them to your smoothie. You can even, if you can handle the taste of them, some people will love the taste of elderberries. Sometimes you can even put them in your mouth and chew them and eat them. They're berries, they're just dried berries. The first herbal blend that I wanna talk to you about is the colon formula. The colon formula is a high quality blend of herbs that is good for like cleansing and healing the entire digestive tract. This herbal blend is not for, it's not gonna be like an explosive poop if that's what you're looking for. That's not what this is. This is going to move through your whole digestive tract starting in your mouth all the way through your stomach, your small intestines, large intestines out into the toilet to help cleanse, to help soothe, to help like help with elasticity and the muscles in the soft tissues of your digestive tract. This is a healing formula. That's what this is. So if you have something like IBS or Crohn's or something like that, this would be something that will help you but you need to start small and then build up. The instructions are on the container but this, I love this blend. And also the other thing that this blend is is it has an overall detoxification, it has detoxification herbs that actually help the whole body too. So if you take this, you may even feel detox symptoms everywhere in your body. I love this. And let me just tell you, in order to heal reproductive issues, hands down, you have to clean out your colon. You cannot be sitting there with this colon full of junk and expect all your health issues to go away. So you need to clean your colon. My lymph T, okay, I have it here. The lymph T right here, the lymphatic system is the next system that we have to take care of in our bodies. The thing about the lymphatic system is it's the only system in our body that does not have a pump on it. So your heart pumps your blood, your, and the lymphatic system doesn't have anything that pumps it to move it. So the only way it moves is through one, through moving your body like exercising. So your lymphatic system will move through exercising and some of the best forms of exercising for lymphatic movement is rebounding, that's jumping on a mini trampoline, or it is actually you taking a walk of brisk walk that those are the exercises that I think are best for lymphatic drainage or movement. And then there is herbs. And this formula is full of herbs that will help you move your lymphatic system. And the reason that the reproductive system gets tumors and cysts is because lymphatic stagnation pulls like sits in the pelvis area of your body. And when it can't go anywhere, it forms into a cyst to keep that junk away from or cyst or tumor to keep that junk away from your other vital organs that you have in your body that are keeping you alive. So it's important to move the lymph, whether you use herbs or not, which it is a good way to move your lymph, you need to be exercising so you can move that out. That's another way that your body works on getting rid of the fibroid cyst endometriosis by moving the stagnation of the lymph out of that part of your body. Lots of people say they can't sleep. I don't have my sleepy time T here right now, but the sleepy time T helps with sleep and it also helps with anxiety. So if you are struggling with anxiety, the sleepy time T can help with that because it has calming herbs in it. Barley grass juice powder, one of my favorite products because this barley grass juice powder is potent. There's a difference between barley grass juice powder and barley grass powder. Barley grass powder is barley grass ground up and barley grass juice powder is juice dried. So this is the actual juice. So if you take a spoonful of this and mix it in water, you're hydrating the juice and the juice, when you drink it, it goes straight to your cells and this is a high quality, it's organic, it's potent. This morning when I made my smoothie and this is part of my smoothie, I put some barley grass juice powder in my smoothie. So yeah, so there you have it. I shouldn't have did that. Now I'm gonna have green teeth. I'll get rid of it. So the thing about barley grass juice powder, what it does is it inhibits tumor growth. That's what barley grass does. It boosts the immunity, it helps with your skin. If you have high cholesterol, it brings those cholesterol levels down and it's so nutritious that it fills in the nutrition gaps that people have. So if you're not getting enough of this, it helps or you're not getting enough of this or that. It comes in and it helps to fill those places where you're not getting enough of because people don't eat enough greens. And if you don't eat enough greens or if you just want more greens, barley grass juice powder is an excellent source to bring in. My next favorite is no more cramps. I love this because it helps, it actually helps to alleviate menstrual pain. So you can take this all month long if you're somebody who is prone to cramps or you can take it when you're on your menstrual cycle. I also have this in tincture form. So what you would do is if you're having cramps, you can take it, you can take two dropper fools on hour on the hour until the cramps go away or drink a cup every hour on the hour until the cramps go away. You actually can take it more than an, more than every hour you can take more if you are really struggling with like debilitating cramps because this has the herbs in it that relaxes the body and helps with taking the edge off of that pain. I also have the tea strainers. If you are struggling with loose leaf tea, oops, it has the, you put the herbs in the basket. It also has a lid on it. And then you put it in your cup, pour the water over, before you put the lid on, you pour the, you put the herbs in, pour the water in the cup and then you stick the lid on and let it steep for however long you want it to steep. I love these. And I also still have the eco vessel. I don't have an eco vessel here for you to see but you can go to my website and look up the eco vessel in the herb shop and it is a thermos. So say you'd like to have your tea hot. Like lots of people say, I want to drink my tea hot. I don't want to drink it room temperature. I like to drink my room temperature most of the time but the eco vessel, you put the herbs in the eco vessel, pour the water in it and it has a strainer that goes on top and you put the lid on and whenever you are ready to drink your tea, you just pour it in the cup and it separates the tea from the herbs that it's been sitting in. So you don't have to worry about how are you gonna get the herbs or how are you gonna strain the herbs and all that stuff is easy and you can do it on the go. So I still have that in the liver. I don't have it here. I'm sorry, I don't have the tincture but I do have the link liver cleanser here but I do have tinctures in stock now. So a lot of you have been asking me about the liver cleanser tincture. The thing about this one is it nourishes the blood, it detoxifies the blood and it's a hormone balancer. That's what this herb is. This herbal blend is going to help you to cleanse the liver and the liver is the place where hormones are metabolized meaning it actually utilizes or gets rid of the hormones in your body. So it uses the hormones and it helps your body to use the hormones and it helps your body to get rid of the ones you don't need like estrogen dominance for example or if you've got too much testosterone or whatever it is that you have in your body this will help you. And if you have a real serious case of hormonal imbalance take a little bit more than the package suggests and that will help you out there. And I also have an intincture form as well. I just don't have it here with me right now. If you're just joining me, I'm offering a 20% off sale on all herbal blends and e-books in my store. There's no code needed. The sale goes today through Monday and I'm doing the sale in honor of my birthday. If you are interested you can go down in the description box below, click the link or go to whatchelseaeeds.com, let's see. The bleeding formula, this one's popular. Also have this in T form as well and I have an intincture form. The bleeding formula is one of those that helps you to stop all that excess bleeding. So say you're on your period and you are hemorrhaging and I know what it's like to hemorrhage. I have been in that place where it looks like a crime scene in your underwear and it's very, very scary. And if you go to the hospital, they make you feel like you're going to die and you're not going to die. You just need to do what you need to do to help take care of yourself, but the bleeding formula will help slow or stop that heavy bleeding. That's what the bleeding formula will do. But you have to take the T in order for it to help you. I had somebody message me and say, they said, your T's don't work. I said, well, did you take it? Yeah, I took it once, but it didn't do anything. You got to take it, y'all. You have to take the stuff in order for it to work. And the people that say they take it, they always, I've not had anybody say that they're taking it and it's not helping. So anyway, these are the herbal combinations that I used whenever I was bleeding. And you can take the bleeding formula all month if you're somebody you know you are a heavy bleeder when you have your period. Take it all month so the herbs can start working on your reproductive system to get to the root of why you're bleeding. But also, as I said in the beginning of this presentation, you still have to do the things that you need to do in order for you to heal. Take care of your, you change your food. Get your stress under control. Start dealing with your emotional well-being. Those types of things, get some exercise, drinking your water, staying hydrated, those things you need to still do. Cause none of it is gonna change. I don't even care if you get a hysterectomy. If you don't do anything different, guess what? The symptoms that you had in your womb area will show up somewhere else in your body. Just cause you get the womb cut out, doesn't mean that the problem goes away. Okay, here's another one. Mullen, mullen, mullen, mullen. It's good for, remember I was talking about the lymphatic system? This is good for your lymphatic system. It's good for your respiratory system. If you're somebody who used to be a smoker, if you used to be a weed smoker or if you're currently a weed smoker, this is going to help. But it also moves congestion out of the womb area. It moves mucus out of the womb area. And all mucus is, is stagnant lymphatic fluid. That's what mucus is. So some people have it coming out of their butt, their vagina out of their nose, out of their ears. And this time of year, if you've got allergies, this is a good time for you to take this so that you can get all that junk out of you so that whatever is irritating you from an allergy perspective, you can just push it, push it out. But ultimately for allergies, you want to, it is connected to what you, what you've got going on in your gut, in your body, what kind of foods you're eating, the condition of your gut microbiome. So you need to change that so that your body can deal with the environmental factors a little bit better. Anyway, don't forget to put your questions in the chat because I am gonna be answering questions when we, when I'm done talking about these things. The healthy vagina. This tea has parasite herbs in it. So if you actually want to do a parasite cleanse, like on your whole body, you actually can use this to help cleanse parasites. But reproductive issues, there, if you have reproductive issues, there's parasites in your body. There's no question about it. And you're colon all over your body. But I created this blend for people who struggle with bacterial vaginosis, yeast, parasites, odors, discharge down below. And this will help with that. I get, I get people who say to me, Chelsea, I use the healthy vagina tea and I can feel it helping, but I really need to do a better job with my diet. So this is one of the teas that if you really take it and you haven't done anything much with your diet, you may get some results. So don't sleep on healthy vagina tea. It will help you clear out that area. The other thing this will do is if you're having some low libido issues, like meaning not desire, but if you're feeling like a lack of sensitivity in that area, because this is a cleansing herbs for down there, that's gonna help with the sensitivity if you're struggling with that. Bye-bye, Anemia. Love this tea. I actually have this in Tincture available now as well. So if you are somebody who just needs an iron type of a supplement, that's what this herbal blend will help you with. And the Tincture as well. It helps you with your daily iron intake, I should say. I was trying to think of the word that I wanted to use, but iron, it can help you with your daily iron intake, but it also helps reverse Anemia. All kinds of iron-rich herbs in this blend. Let's see, oh, my favorite. This is the first blend that God gave me. It's the Anucreation Womb Healing Tea. This herbal blend is a Womb Cleanser Womb Tonic. It gets rid of the stuff that does not belong in the womb area, breaks up pelvic congestion in the uterus, the tubes, the vagina, the ovaries, and the surrounding area. And if you do have low libido and vaginal dryness, things like that, this tea will actually help you with that. This one breaks down tumors, cysts, endometriosis, all the stuff, it helps with pelvic inflammatory disease. This is the tea that helps clean the womb. And soon I'm gonna have Tinctures. It's gonna be late next month, but I know I've been promising it, but it's coming. But until then, take your womb tea. And if there's anybody here that has been taking the tea consistently and you've seen some results, please, by all means, send me an email. Yeah, send me an email at info at whatchelceeds.com. Let's see. Oh, they grow my hair tea. Let me just tell you something about this grow my hair tea, right? This stuff is so good. I got my hair cut back in, like off, off. I got it cut because it had no shape. It was terrible. I was not doing a good job of taking care of my hair as far as going to the beautician and getting it shaped, et cetera. And I said I wanted to do that. So I got it cut in October. I've had it cut again twice, once in January and once a couple of weeks ago. And literally my hair has grown out in just two weeks, a little bit. Like really, I'm like, I'm looking into my mirror because there was some places in my hair that in my head that they were like uneven, you know what I mean? If you have curly hair, you know, sometimes the curl texture is like tighter in one place and looser in another. So you have to kind of cut it so that it looks even. And I was doing my hair, I'm like, what is going on here? My hair is growing out so fast. And this isn't all that I'm doing that I'm saying you should just take this grow your hair T to make your hair grow. You do need to take care of yourself. But even if you're not perfect, this thing is going, this is gonna help. And the other thing that I haven't even done with this T which I used to do years ago was put treatments and stuff like that on my hair with the T like you could do a rinse and all that stuff. I haven't even done any of that stuff. It's just the T. And I mean, I just put a spoonful of it in my daily mixture, like a heaping spoon in my daily mixture of whatever herbs I'm gonna have. And I don't even do it every day. And I know it's helping. So if you're having hair problems, I recommend doing that, taking that. Next is my womb clay. I love this because if you're somebody who just needs like some time to like relax and de-stress this is a womb calming type of a clay. It slows or stops vibrating tumor progression. It helps with pain management. You could use it on your period. It feeds the womb minerals because it has CMOS in it with all those minerals. It has lavender. I can't remember what else I put in here at this moment, but it feeds the womb minerals. It's detoxifying, it's antibacterial, antiseptic and it's astringent. If you have stretch marks on your stomach, it helps with that. And it also even soothes and calms the skin. But what you do is you take a small amount, make a paste and you rub it over your womb and then you can take a hot towel and then put your heating pad over it for about 20 minutes and don't leave it on for more than 20 minutes. Like more is not better with this. You can make a new batch if you want to like a new batch of clay and rub it over your stomach again if you want to lay there more than 20 minutes. But the reason that this, the 20 minutes is like pivotal is because the herbs, there's a drawing herb. So there's herbs that go in and there's herbs that pull out. And if you leave it on longer than 20, 25 minutes it's starting to defeat the purpose of what that transaction is doing. But there was a woman who is an esthetician, specializing in healing at Hippocrates who gave me the recipe for this for four fibroids. And she said, if you do it consistently you will see a result, your result especially of course with lifestyle changes. I also have good old faithful metal tea. This is good for everything, womb, bleeding, pain, immune system, anxiety, stress, estrogen dominance, iron, blood sugar levels. It helps with support the kidneys and the liver. Also I am working on a kidney tea. I'm working on a kidney tea. Somebody's been, people have been asking me about that. And of course this is my favorite herb as far as seasoning is concerned because it's a no salt seasoning. You guys know that I have been salt sensitive and I've had the hardest time struggle, getting off a salt. But when I am doing what I'm supposed to, which I am doing what I'm supposed to these days, I use herb fest as a salt replacement. Now, is it gonna taste like salt? No, nothing tastes like salt. Nothing, but it's, you can get used to it. But even if you use salt, this is a good just overall seasoning for your food. The coconut oil, oh my goodness. The coconut oil, I love this coconut oil. Love this coconut oil. This is, I like it for my body. I like it for everything. But for those of you who are struggling with yeast infections and stuff like that or whatever, bacterial vaginosis, until you could get your gut cleaned out and your body healed and you get your diet changed. This is a helpful, this particular coconut oil is helpful for you to use down in your private area. Just take a like, you know, big heaping scoop, like a, maybe a table spoon or two and slathered on the inside and outside of your vagina. You might have to use a panty liner or a pad or something. But what it does is it'll stop the itching, stop the irritation like in its tracks. And then if you take this along with the healthy vagina tea, that's gonna help you reverse this problem as long as you are coupling this with trying to get your lifestyle together. Also, if you're just joining me, I'm offering 20% off all herbs and e-books and you don't need a code, just go to my website and click on what Chelsea, or go to what Chelsea eats and click on herbal blends. And if you buy something, then the discount will come off in the cart. And the sale is going through today, through Monday. So that's about it. Yes, that's it. And I want to answer your questions. So if you haven't put your questions down in the chat box, please put your questions down in the chat box. I'll answer any kind of questions today. It doesn't have to be about herbs. It can be about anything like a reproductive issue, health concern that you have. If I can answer it without, you know, like having to ask you a thousand questions to get to the bottom of what's going on, then I'll be happy to give you some answers. Okay. All right. That's Esther. Hey Esther, I finally caught alive in real time. Welcome. This is Esther, right? I hope that's Esther. Welcome. Let's see, set apart, apart for fathers. Hey there. This is Cam, right? Set apart for the father's goodwill. Welcome. And thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Yasmin, is it Yasmin or Yasmin? Thank you so much. Thank you, Esther. Tuning in from Toronto. I want to go back to Toronto. I went to Toronto when I was 22, right? Before I graduated from college. It was the Caribbean festival. I don't remember a thing about what happened there, but I remember I ended up at Niagara Falls or something. But anyway, I have fibroid issues. It's been a real journey, staying consistent. It is. And let me give you a tip for this, Esther. And this is for everybody who's having trouble. First of all, you got to commit this thing to the Lord. You have to. If you try to do it on your own strength, it's not going to work because it's too hard to do it in your own strength. And you have to rely on the Holy Spirit every second of every day. Because I think what I used to, the issue that I used to have, right? And sometimes I could fall into it now too. So I'm not saying that I have arrived because nobody ever arrives. I think we are constantly working on getting better the more we live. But we will commit it to the Lord. He'll show us our path. We'll be stepping and then life happens. And then we kind of get our eyes off of the Lord while we're walking this process. And then, before you know it, we got a piece of bacon or a sandwich in our mouth. You know what I mean? And so then once we do that, it takes a minute for us to get back on the bubble and then you're trying to do the right thing all over again. And we have to put the blinders on and just focus in and really keep your why in front of you as to why you're doing what you're doing. Just think of the scripture where Peter where Peter was walking on water as long as he was, he kept his eyes on Jesus. He was walking on the water. As soon as he let himself get distracted, he was starting to drown and Jesus had to pick him up. So that is something that, that's a tip. Not that you didn't know it, but I'm reminding you. I wish the sale could go till month end, hee hee. Yeah, I'm sorry. Thank you though. Hey, Trina. Hey there. Thank you for joining. Let's see, Alisha. Is it normal for the no more cramps tea to make more cramps intense before they get better? Okay, so if you can explain a little bit more about what's happening, like you take it and what's happening, because the other thing that you could be experiencing is healing. When fibroids are shrinking or tumors are shrinking, it can be painful. I don't know if you guys heard the story where, that I told about when I was healing from fibroids and I had, I was taking herbs and the pain was so excruciating at one point. This was an isolated incident that I'm talking about that I didn't think I was gonna make it. Like it was the kind of pain like I never experienced in my life. And then it was over. So it really depends. I don't know how to answer that question because I haven't had anybody tell me that, that the pain gets worse before it gets better. But I do know that if you are taking herbs and you're trying to heal something that sometimes pain can be a healing crisis. I'm air quoting here. It could be a healing crisis and then until you get to the other side and then the pain goes away. So hopefully that helps you. Hey, Yasmin. Let's see. Any tips on how to be consistent with the clean diet while others in the household don't follow the same diet may not and may not understand. Girl, I hear you on that. So when I first started this journey, as you guys know my husband, he just decided that he was gonna eat what I ate because he didn't wanna cook for himself and he wanted to see me well. And a lot of times he didn't understand certain things that I would do and he was still whenever he ate things he would just eat them outside or cook them when I'm not here or cook whatever he wanted that was different for himself. So currently my son and his wife are staying with us temporarily and my husband and I eat the way we eat but my son and his wife, let me tell you, they cook, it smells like Thanksgiving dinner in here every day and I'm just kind of like, oh my gosh. So my husband bought some candles that we can burn in our bedroom so we don't have to smell the smell. I know that doesn't answer your question but I'm gonna tell you, if I were in that situation I would be praying, asking the Lord for strength and asking him to, I would probably be trying to get closer to the Lord in that instance so that he could help me because he said that he will always provide a way of escape for us and I just think he'll provide. I just think we have to make that choice to turn to him in those moments. And even though it's hard, I think it can be done. And if you keep falling and you're trying to do that, you know, I would be asking God, okay Lord, what's in my heart that's keeping me from doing what I know I need to do so that I could get well regardless of what everybody else is doing in the house. But even so it's still hard but I don't think that it's impossible. Hello, Ellie, thank you. What's the benefit of the no-salt diet? So my body is sensitive to it. My body swells when I eat salt, any kind of salt. Doesn't matter if it's Himalayan, Celtic and also salt is not good for certain reasons. We do need sodium, but we get it in our food, especially if you're eating lots of greens, there's sodium in fruit, all the things. Like if you don't eat salt, you're not going to be salt deficient unless you're somebody who are going and sweating in the sauna for hours a day or I don't go to yoga or I don't go to yoga or do yoga or anything like that. But if you're somebody who does hot yoga and you're sweating, you need extra salt in your diet but the one benefit that comes from a no-salt diet is it helps you to get rid of the addiction to food because I find whether the food is healthy or not that if there's salt in the food, I will eat more of the food because the food is more flavorful with salt on it. Then if I cook something that doesn't have salt in it, it is not as enjoyable, especially in the beginning but I will get used to when I allow myself to get used to eating food with no salt and I find that I don't eat as much as I do when I add salt. So if you have a propensity towards food addiction, then eating salt-free is a way to help you with that problem. So that's why I choose not to eat salt. It's more about not eating so much and also the way it makes my body feel. You can go and look for plant-based doctors that teach SOS-free like salt, oil, sugar-free diet. Chef AJ, I'm sure all of you are, if you haven't heard of Chef AJ, she talks a lot about no salt. Although she eats lots of starches which is not good for reproductive issues. So if you're eating rice and brown rice and large quantities of potatoes and all that stuff, that's not good for a reproductive issue. So she preaches and teaches that but she also talks about the salt thing so you can find out about that. Now the bottom line is that everybody's got an opinion on everything so you just have to decide, discern what's going to be best for you. Okay, which is faster, the tincture or the herbs? That's a good question. So I think tinctures are probably, that's a hard question. Because it's not always, it's not black and white. I would say, I guess I would say the tinctures are stronger to some degree but there's also a benefit in drinking the herbs because you're flushing the essence of the herb throughout your body when you drink a glass of herbs versus putting some tincture in your mouth and swallowing it. So I think they both have a benefit but if you're somebody who's like, I don't feel like drinking tea, I know I'm not gonna drink tea or I'm not gonna do it consistent, it's easier to just take the tincture. The loose herbs are more economical than the tincture. The tincture is the same price in my store as the herbs but you can finish a herb bottle depending, I mean a tincture bottle depending on how much you take in a couple weeks when a bag of herbs will probably last you a month, do you see what I'm saying? So you have to try it and weigh it out for yourself. It's different for every person. I like tinctures but I also like tea. When I was in the thick of my healing process, I took tinctures and I made sure I drank a liter of whatever herbal combination I was taking every day. So that's what I did but tinctures are probably stronger and also most of my tinctures are in glycerin, vegetable glycerin, healthy vegetable glycerin organic and it's coconut glycerin. And not all good vegetable glycerin is created equal. There are people who make glycerins and they make them out of flaxseed which is not good for reproductive issues because depending on where your hormones are, flaxseed could be giving you too much estrogen. Some people use soy glycerin and you certainly do not want to use soy glycerin. So you have to be careful where you're buying your tinctures. Alcohol tinctures are the strongest and I took alcohol tinctures whenever I was healing but I am somebody who is sensitive to alcohol and alcohol is alcohol to drink alcohol. When I say sensitive to alcohol, I cannot drink alcohol without having a reaction in my body like I will feel it but I was able to drink the alcohol tinctures. So if you have a choice between alcohol and glycerin, alcohol is gonna be stronger, it's gonna last longer but glycerin tinctures are strong as well. They last about three years versus about 10 years for an alcohol tincture but they're still potent. So don't think that just because it's a glycerin tincture you're not gonna get a benefit from it because you are because it's actually sitting in, the herbs are actually sitting in and absorbing in the glycerin solution for weeks and the essence of the herbs are extracted and that's what you're actually taking in and the same thing happens with the alcohol as well. So hopefully my phone is just like ding, ding, ding. Sorry about that. I guess I could turn it down. I thought I had this on silent, I don't know why it's, anyway, sorry about that. Anyway, so I hope I answered your question. Maggie Maxie, welcome, thank you. Thank you for the update about the kidney TRE, are there any tips on things we could do to support the kidneys in the meantime? You can drink stinging metals. Stinging metals, T has kidney benefits and my liver cleanser actually has some kidney herbs in it. So like it's hard to work on the liver and not be able to, like it's hard to take herbs that are used for the liver that don't also affect the kidneys. But what I'm trying to put together is a herbal combination that will like really attack the adrenals as well as the kidneys to get those things cleansed out. But the herbs that are available in abundance are not always the best for reproductive issues. So I could put together a combination today, but I don't want to, for the sake of getting a kidney formula give you something that's a high, give you herbs that are high in estrogen that could be defeating the purpose of why you're taking the herbs for my blends in the first place because they don't really support reproductive health. So that's what's taking so long. So I hope that helps. Let's see, yes, Chelsea, it's me, Esther is still okay. Esther, welcome. How consistent should we take the herbs for fibroid? And with, and how long will we see results? That's a good question. So you should take them every day, if you can, at least five times a week. That's, I mean, it's okay to miss a day here and there. You know, we get busy. Sometimes we don't take everything every day. That's one thing. But I'm talking about like, as far as consistency is concerned, don't like take it on Monday and then take it on Friday and expect it to work. And you're doing that every week. I have had clients tell me that they have experienced a difference in their body and they're like how their body feels within a week or two of taking the herbs. But every person is different. Every person's toxins in their body is different. Everybody's genetic weaknesses are different. So it's impossible for me to say how long it will take for you to see results because it also, not only are those factors, you have to consider, but you also have to consider the fact that, what is your lifestyle like? What are you eating? What are you drinking? Are you hydrating yourself? Are you stressed completely out to the max? You know, those types of things also affect your healing process as well. Thank you, Andrea. Shanisha, welcome and tell your dad that I said happy birthday. Hey, Ellie, okay. Let's see, I would love to meet with you if you could come to Toronto. I wanna come, I'm coming. I don't know when, but I'm coming. All right, the why and walking with the Lord yes for that. Thanks for that, Chelsea. I do forget sometimes. Yes, that will help you. Andrea, yes, the fibroids are shrinking and I have pain daily, but can tell they're getting smaller. Yeah, Andrea, that's the hard part about walking this journey. Sometimes we'll have pain. So but congratulations to you regarding them getting smaller. I'm so happy for you. Thanks for sharing that. The womb tea, the womb healing tea definitely works very well. Thank you, so glad. Send me an email, tell me that, tell me about it. Yes, okay, good. I'm glad that helps you. Are all fruits good to eat when detoxing? So the best fruits to eat when detoxing are the high water content fruits like watermelons, melons, berries, citrus, grapes, fruits like that, those are the best. Bananas, if you're gonna eat bananas like limited to two a day, they don't have any real water in them. They're gonna, I mean, it's like, I call bananas like a sanity fruit and try not to eat like the botanical fruits like tomatoes and cucumbers because that is not, that's not part of the detoxification process as far as an all fruit cleanse is concerned, but you can eat them. It's not gonna hurt you. It's not gonna, but it's not an astringent fruit that's going to scrub your lymphatic system and help you to heal. And you also wanna be careful of fatty fruits like jackfruit or avocados, things like that. You don't wanna eat that on the fruit cleanse either cause that's gonna slow your detoxification down. So hopefully that answers your question. Okay, I had a myomectomy two months ago but don't know how to manage the consistent plant-based diet on a daily basis after my surgery. So, yeah. Well, I'm glad that, the one thing that I'm glad to hear, Ellie, is the fact that you are trying to take good care of yourself after this surgery cause I know that you do not want these fibres to grow back and that's probably the biggest thing that I get in my inbox that people say, you know, I got the surgery and they grew back. So what I would do if I were you, I don't know if you can. So, I'm imagining you watched my YouTube videos or maybe in the process of watching my YouTube videos about like the recipes that I recommend. The only other thing I would suggest for you, and this wasn't available when I was healing, I wish it was available when I was like, like really in the thick of it, is I would either do one of two things. My coaching program, my new coaching program is coming here soon. I know I keep saying that, but it really is coming soon. I would either join the coaching program so you can learn how to take good care of yourself or I would do the Fibroid Detox Workshop and go through that material. And then after you do the workshop, you can join my membership. So I have a membership that helps women, supports women after they have gone through my curriculum to help them stay on track so they can get support. So that would be something that would be helpful, but like not knowing anything about your lifestyle, about your, you know, your behaviors, things like that, I really can't answer this question about how you can stay consistent because I would have way too many questions, but I know that the two things that I mentioned can be tools to help you. Let's see. I saw article, Stay Away From Dates If Struggling With Fibroids, what's your opinion? I don't agree with it. I don't. I don't agree with that at all. Now, do I think that you need to go sit there and eat a whole bunch of dates all the time? No, but adding dates to your homemade salad dressings to sweeten them up or adding them to your smoothie to sweeten them up is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with that. And even if you're on an all fruit cleanse and you just need a sanity check, you can eat a couple of dates today because eating all fruit can make you feel like you're like floating off the ground and eating a date can kind of ground you a little bit, just like the bananas do. So no, I don't agree with that. Thank you for sharing that, that's a good question. Thank you very much for the birthday wishes. All fruits are their fruits that cause fibroids to grow. So if you eat a standard American diet and you like chicken and, you know, fat and you just eat what regular people eat and then you add some fruit on top of it, it doesn't really mix well together. So yeah, you can cause your fibroid to grow that way. But that's a loaded question. It just really depends on everything else you're doing in your life. Do your bowels move every time you eat? Are you living a detox lifestyle? Do you drink water? Like what else is going on in your life? So it's not like an isolated, this is not like an isolated answer. If you eat fruit with a standard American diet, is it gonna make the fibroid grow? I don't ever claim fibroids for anybody. And I pray that you won't either. But it's not so black and white that it's actually going to make it grow. It could, it could. But eating the way I teach you to eat, eating fruit does not make fibroids grow. No, it does not. Helps them to shrink. But in order to know what I teach, you really have to be under my tutelage. Like getting a little bit here and getting a little bit there, you don't know everything I teach. Like you might watch every last one of my videos, but it's impossible for you to know everything I teach unless you've been through some of my programs. And then what I used to, what I've taught three years ago is a little different than what I teach now. So hopefully that helps. All right. Thank you, Kelly. Okay, I feel intermittent fasting with the T assist with healing, it does. Along with praying has changed my life and is motivating. I have had fibroids for nine years and finally feel I have control. That is fantastic. I love this story. Thank you so much for sharing this. I am going to screenshot this. I love hearing that, that's good news. That is good news. Thank you, Andrea. Are your recipes good for those who have insulin resistance? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Diabetes, insulin resistance. Now, if you look in at the way the world looks at things, they might say no. But if you follow what I teach and you don't mix and match, like say for example, you have a big green smoothie for breakfast and you have a salad for lunch and you have some pasta with some lean chicken for dinner, that doesn't always mix. Do you know what I mean? But that's not what I teach. And that's what people do. They will do part of what I say and then they might end up not getting the results that they're looking for. So that's all I'm trying to say with that. So if you follow what I teach, then yes. And unfortunately lots of people think they're following what I'm teaching and they don't because it takes study. It takes you changing your mindset away from what you knew so that you can. So that you can, my husband is running the blender in the kitchen. Can you all hear that? It's a little bit distracting to me. Hopefully he's almost done. But anyway, I think he's making a smoothie. But my point is that you have to apply yourself to learn exactly what to do so that your body can heal. Learn because we've been doing things so much the same way for so long that it's hard to change. And it took me some years to really change. And sometimes I'm still having to change. Yes, there is a replay for this. Hey, Janet, yes, I'm gonna keep this up. I'm not gonna make this, I'm not gonna take this down. I look forward to meeting you, Janet. Amen. All right, that looks like Aussie. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge. It's appreciated. You're welcome, Andrea. Ladies, I'm so grateful that I have gotten the opportunity to spend this part of my day with you. Love you all so much. I pray for you. I have nothing but best wishes for you. I want you to, I want to see you well. And I always say this at the end of my videos. And I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. But if nobody told you that they love you today, I love you. Chelsea in North Carolina loves you very much. And I'll talk to you all soon. Take care.
