Juniper Berries:

So, while I've been recovering from the mold attack that started back in 2009 and got really bad in 2010, I noticed I had some other problems. Let's just suppose you want something that helps with your movements and Kefir, and fancy yogurts aren't cutting it anymore. Juniper Berries can actually work some magic there. I'm not saying they replace the good bacteria in your gut - I'm not even entirely sure I know what it does. All I know is when I started taking this along side milk thistle, I didn't have issues anymore. My doctor was worried I had bowl cancer, because of a particular string bean symptom I was exhibiting. The Juniper berries always fix that right up for me. I'm not saying it cures cancer. What I am saying is, whatever I have, it isn't cancer and the juniper berries fix me right up.

How did I find out about them? I was so panicked about this issue that I dreamed a way to fix it. I ended up somewhere in a mountainous national park somewhere in Canada. I knew the name at the time, but not anymore. I was just off the side of the highway staring up at a bush that looked a lot like the picture I have in this column. The name Juniper berries came to me. I'd never heard of it before.

Uses:
I was extremely surprised to find out they do indeed exist and have been used by shamans in North America and Europe and dates as far back as ancient Greece to treat all kinds of illness. Also in parts of Scandinavia it's used as a seasoning to bring out the flavor in meat.

Warnings:
The bottle I found was 100 capsules, 425mg a day. I ignored the directions and followed my gut, which said take 2 before bed. The bottle said take 3 or more per day and then gave a warning about stopping use after a month due to kidney issues.
Now, if you're worried about kidneys getting clogged - milk thistle and a ton of cranberry juice (100%) can help you out. Also, don't listen to the bottle - the dosage is crazy!

Disclaimer:
The usual goes here all. I'm not a doctor and I'm not saying you should do this. This is just a record of what I did and how it worked for me. Use with caution if you do. Everyone's bodies are different, etc. etc. I'm open with my doctor about these things. If you feel you can't be open with your doctor, try your best to find another one. I mean an MD - not a holistic doctor. Although they probably know a lot more than I do.

Why do I use an MD? Because I rely on lab tests and blood tests to see where I'm going wrong or right. If this hadn't worked, you can bet I would have looked for something else. I also had an MRI scan to make sure I didn't have something cancerous.

Always be weary of claims that cure cancer. Always feel free to verify and search on sites like scholar.google.com or pubmed.com. These are proper research sites - and while the papers are expensive the abstracts are free to read.
