Comment on Is Royal Break-Stone good for animals (cats) with crystals in their bladder? by Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc.

I bought tea and drops when I was in America – can I use them together
along side the liver gallbladder flush?
Yes, you can use them both together, or more likely, drops in the morning, Tea with lunch, etc. To support digestion, drink the Tea with your food or add the drops to a glass of water and drink with the meal. It is very good tasting. To do a cleanse, take either the Tea or the Extract drops (30 per serving) in water either 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after eating.

Are there any herbs which should not be taken at the same time?
No, there are no problems with taking other herbs at the same time.

I am quite petite (98lbs – 5 foot 2) so should I take the full dose?
It shouldn’t be a problem to take the full dose, but when you first start, you might just take half the dose to see how your body is reacting.

Can i give it to my grandson age 7?
Yes, you can. You would give him half a dose.

Can I buy the products in England or can you mail?
We can mail this to you. As long as we mail one at a time, you shouldn’t have a problem with customs.

Comment on For people with lung and respiratory conditions… Especially during the cold & flu season by Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc.

Yes, it can. Basically you will reduce based on body weight. An animal that weighs 10 pounds will only be given about 8 drops on the Royal Desmodium Liquid Extract on an “as needed basis,” based on our experience. You can do multiples of this based on the weight of your animal.

Question:

Can Royal Desmodium be administered to dogs and cats for allergy, congestion,asthma, collapsed lungs…etc. in reduced doses.

If WWB has any information relating to this I would appreciate the input.

Thanks so much.

Comment on Can the Phyto-Estrogens in soy and flax seeds be combined with Royal Maca? by Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc.

It is true that flax and soy contain a fair amount of phytoestrogens. So do all beans. But flax seeds, soy milk, soyburgers, tempeh, etc. can all be used in the diet while you are taking Royal Maca. It is dietary supplements made from soybeans–pills and capsules in most cases–in which the phytoestrogens have been extracted and concentrated–that must not be taken together with Royal Maca. It is a combination that overstimulates the body and creates increased hot flashes in most women that already have hot flashes. This combo also contributes to insomnia and irritability.

Comment on Q: What is the best Royal Maca® for Perimenopause? by Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc.

Dear Linda,
First of all, I would recommend that you check out a website called thyroid.about.com for a wealth of information that might be useful for you. You might also check out Mary Shomon’s book, “Living Well with Hypothyroidism.”
I would suggest that you first try the Royal Maca for Menopause and adjust your dosage according to your menopausal symptoms, following the instructions on the bottle. You might also want to try Royal Camu (Camu-Camu), taking 1/2 tsp. (3 caps) twice a day, away from food. Suggested times: upon rising before the shower and again around 4 p.m.
Since the endocrine glands functions are so interdependent with each other, if you positively impact your ovaries and your adrenals and your thyroid and your pancreas all at the same time by taking Royal Maca and Royal Camu, you might notice a huge improvement even without hormone supplementation for your thyroid (although most women need both thyroid hormone and the botanicals).
Feel free to write again and let me know how it’s going.
Best,
Viana Muller, Ph.D.

Comment on Q: I am interested in taking your Royal Break-Stone product but I want to know how it works. Does it both help prevent kidney stones and help get rid of kidney stones? by Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc.

Viana Muller, Ph.D., Co-founder Whole World Botanicals, Inc. — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:58:48 +0000

Royal Break-Stone is made from the Phyllanthus niruri plant. It’s popular name is Chanca (Break) Piedra (Stone) because it is tradtionally used to break up kidney and gall stones and expel them. There is also scientific research confirming the activity of this botanical, both in terms of expelling kidney stones and in terms of the prevention of stone formation. However, Whole World Botanicals sells Royal Break-Stone to promote kidney, gall bladder, and liver health, not to cure, prevent or treat any disease. This is in conformance with FDA regulations for dietary supplements.

Sincerely,
Viana Muller, Ph.D.

I am without health insurance at the moment and I am having pains associated with Kidney Stones according to what I have been reading. I need to get rid of the Kidney Stones and am overwhelmed by all of the products on the internet. All I need is one good one to help me. Since I have no family history of Kidney Stones, yet the likelihood that I have them is stron, how will I know what to expect as far as knowing whenor if they have dissolved and subsequently passed? When will I know that I am free of them when using your product, other than the subsiding of pain, which all of the herbal products claim will occur fairly quickly? I just need on egood product to do the job and that is safe without the worry of side-effects. Thanks for helping me with this.
