Instead of recommending any stimulant herbs that would further
drain her vitality, the daughter recommended that she drink
stinging nettle infusion, which builds energy from the inside out
by nourishing and restoring the adrenals.

The woman loved the stinging nettle infusion, and quickly felt
like she had the energy of a 30-year-old. At that time, she was in
her 50s. Since she tried, and also liked, the oatstraw and red
clover infusions, she started alternating them every second or
third day. Three years later, when she went for her physical, her
doctor said, “I can’t explain it to you, but your osteoporosis
seems to be reversing.”
Recently, I received a letter from her. Her doctor told her that
she now has the bones of a 40-year-old woman. I was thrilled to
hear her news because it shows that drinking the nourishing herbal
infusions is a simple and inexpensive way for us to take care of
ourselves.
R.P.: What do you think about supplements?
S.W.: I don’t take any supplements. I urge
people to get as much nutrition as they can from their food, but
also to rely on the nourishing herbal infusions, which bring in a
large amount of vitamins and minerals, proteins, phytonutrients and
phytoestrogens.
Let me tell you about a group of apprentices I’ve had in Florida
for 13 years: Two of them worked for companies that changed
insurance providers, and each had to go for a physical. After their
physicals, both of them received calls from their doctors because
their blood tests showed such high mineral and vitamin contents.
One of the doctors had the apprentice undergo various tests because
he didn’t believe that an herb could produce such a high vitamin
and mineral content. He was sure that something was wrong, but of
course, all her tests came back fine. The doctor for my other
apprentice immediately complimented her, saying it was rare for him
to see anyone of any age with such healthy blood as hers. He was
quite impressed; she was the healthiest mid-50s woman he had ever
seen. When he lowered his voice and asked, “What brand of
supplements do you take?” she replied, “I don’t take any
supplements at all; I drink nourishing herbal infusions.”
R.P.: What about flaxseed oil and the
omega-3s?
S.W.: It’s important for us to get essential
fatty acids and other key nutrients that we can’t manufacture
ourselves, like vitamin B12. However, for most people, getting
those essential fatty acids from isolated substances is not as
successful as getting them from integrated things. In other words,
a capsule of fish liver oil is never going to take the place of
eating fish, nor is flaxseed oil ever going to take the place of
eating whole grains. We can get the essential fatty acids we need
if we’re eating whole-grain products, such as whole grain pasta or
breads. If we have some beans and roots in our diet, and wild
seeds, we’re going to be getting those things; there are many
sources for essential fatty acids.
