Alteratives

Alteratives are herbs that gradually restore the proper function of the body and increase health and vitality.  They seem to alter the body’s processes of metabolism so that tissues can best deal with a range of functions from nutrition to elimination. Many herbs with this action improve the body’s ability to eliminate waste through the kidneys, liver, lungs, or skin. Some stimulate digestion or are anti-microbial. Alteratives move the body to a state of health, removing indicators of systemic disintegration. They are often used for skin conditions to take some of the pressure of “detoxifying” the body and off of the skin while at the same time improving the skin’s ability to eliminate waste and heal. Alterative herbs are best used internally for their properties and can be particularly helpful for psoriasis, eczema, acne and many other skin conditions.

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ* return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

∞ “What I say is not to take anything away from anyone’s personal or organized belief systems. In fact, I say go ahead and enjoy your beliefs as far as you wish to take them. My only intention is to offer alternate paths to wander and ponder. Did you ever wonder why some beliefs work for some and not for others? Astrology, numerology, tarot cards, crystals, palm reading, religions/superstitions, and so on, are all fun, wonderful, playful Ideas or Symbols that some have created in this Reality to help, in some way, comprehend their connection to Source. Obviously, there are thousands and thousands of beliefs to choose from. In fact, if you picked up a pebble off the ground and Believed strongly enough that it had the power to Affect your path in life…IT WOULD. This is the True Power of our Minds. This is the True Power of Spirit. This is the True Power that we All have. So, CHOOSE to believe whatever you like. If it works for you, keep believing it. Have fun. If, however, your present belief system is Not working for you or you have some doubts, KNOW that you can change it at any time in any way, without any fear or punishment. My suggestion is Always to keep it simple. Believe in Yourself. Know that you are ONE with Creation. Know that the Power is Within You. Experience Infinite Possibilities. Look Beyond your Limited Belief Systems.” ∞
