Dear Bob Liebert,

I'm writing with regard to two of my sisters. They both have a rare skin disorder called sarcoidosis. I believe there is an herbal remedy for this. Can you help? In addition I also believe that their eating habbits are a direct link to the continued flair ups. Could you also include suggested foods to stay away from? They both eat too much proccessed food, drink way too much coffee and consume too few vegetables. Please help! Thanks,
Adria

 

Dear Friend,

Sarcoidosis is an auto-immune response that causes cells to cluster into sarcoids, or lumps that can appear on the skin, or affect many organs and body systems. I would suggest a combination of lymph-purifying alteratives and immune balancing herbs. The following of my formulas and extracts would be a good start: LYMPHAID Formula; and the extracts of MAITAKE, GOTU KOLA, and THUJA. Other herbs are added according to symptoms and organs affected. You have pretty much outlined the diet that would be most and least beneficial.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.
