00:01 I'll bet you'd like to know how to make herbal remedies at home.
00:03 Well stay tuned to meet a man
00:05 whose ministry is to teach you how to do just that.
00:07 My name is Yvonne Lewis
00:09 and you're watching Urban Report.
00:33 Hello and welcome to Urban Report.
00:36 My guest today is Lee Wellard,
00:38 Master Herbalist and Natural Remedies Practitioner.
00:41 Welcome to Urban Report, Lee.
00:43 Thank you Yvonne, it's great to be here.
00:45 Yeah. I'm so glad you're here, you know.
00:46 I met you at ASI and you had a number of herbal remedies there
00:52 and you so graciously let me try the Ginseng for energy
00:57 because I was tired and all that
00:59 so I took it and I took it home with me
01:02 and I took some more and I'm... it really helps...
01:06 Didn't keep you awake did it?
01:07 No, no... it really didn't... at night... no...
01:10 I really needed some... a little boost...
01:13 That's great... we all do.
01:15 I love herbs...
01:17 I've loved them from the time I was introduced to them
01:21 back in the... maybe '70s or '80s
01:23 how did you get involved with herbs?
01:26 Well, years ago when I was growing up,
01:29 my mother was a Herbalist... when I was in my teenage years
01:32 and when I was 14... my grandfather passed away
01:35 and it left a big hole in our family...
01:38 my mother was very close to my grandfather
01:41 and she started getting an interest at that time
01:45 into natural remedies...
01:46 because she saw so much suffering he went through
01:48 and she thought, "There's got to be an answer...
01:50 there's got to be some natural solutions"
01:53 so she used to bring home all these different concoctions
01:56 and decoctions... I was the guinea pig...
01:59 and so... she used to get me to take these things,
02:03 I'd have to hold my nose and swallow them
02:07 so that was my first introduction
02:09 but I really didn't have much of an interest,
02:12 I knew that deep down
02:14 that they're probably doing me some good
02:16 but as far as doing that for my career, future,
02:21 there was no interest in that but as years went by,
02:24 I did get an interest in health
02:27 and that developed to the point where I could start teaching
02:33 I taught at Wildwood Lifestyle Center and Hospital,
02:35 I taught Plant Physiology and then Nutrition
02:38 and then my wife and I...
02:40 we traveled to an island in the Philippines
02:44 and it was just a mission trip that we were over there
02:48 to teach natural remedies
02:49 and my wife got very ill with a serious case of insomnia,
02:54 she couldn't sleep past midnight every night
02:57 and this went on day after day, week after week,
03:00 month after month... it went on for five and half years.
03:02 She would wake up...
03:03 She would wake up at 12 o'clock, could not get back to sleep
03:07 and so, we had tried many different things...
03:11 we had a pretty good lifestyle already
03:14 and we really didn't understand what was going on,
03:19 the doctors didn't know what was going on
03:21 and it wasn't until we were working at Wildwood,
03:26 when my wife was actually...
03:28 even though she was very serious with this condition,
03:31 she was still trying to help people with their health
03:34 and she came across a herb she thought,
03:36 "Maybe I should try this... "
03:38 and within three days of taking it...
03:41 she was back to eight hours sleep at night
03:43 and has not regressed since.
03:45 And what herb was that?
03:47 It's called Oat Straw or Avena Sativa
03:53 and the reason it helped with that particular case
03:57 was because she was so exhausted
03:59 and it really helps with sleep situations
04:04 where there's prolonged exhaustion
04:06 you know when we get so tired sometimes, we can't sleep...
04:09 Yvonne: Yes...
04:10 Lee: It's ironic that that would be the case,
04:12 but it's because our nerves are so exhausted,
04:14 it's been depleted with electrolytes
04:17 and so the Oat Straw was a nerve feeder...
04:19 it fed the electrolytes and if the nerve can relax
04:22 then you can relax so...
04:24 Did she have adrenal fatigue?
04:25 I think so... yes... and so... that also helps
04:29 with the adrenals as well.
04:31 Wow! and so after she took that...
04:33 and did she have to like... kind of play with the dosage
04:38 to know how much to take or...
04:40 Yes, my wife... she's someone that
04:43 if she thinks it's a good idea,
04:46 she'll probably take more than she needs to
04:49 and so she... she took a whole quart
04:52 with a cup of the herb
04:54 and just made it into a tea and she started drinking this
04:57 and it's a very safe herb to use
05:00 in fact it doesn't contradict... from what we understand
05:04 up to this point with any medications...
05:06 so it was very safe to take... and so... yeah...
05:09 within 3 days she was back to eight hours sleep
05:12 and we were... as you can imagine
05:15 very excited... if you've been sleep deprived for so long
05:19 and then you find a remedy,
05:20 you just want to tell the whole world.
05:22 And one that's safe.
05:24 And one that's safe... that's right.
05:26 Because as you know, there are side effects with sleep remedies
05:29 with sleep medication and so,
05:31 to find something that's safe...
05:33 it doesn't interact with anything... that's great.
05:36 Yes, yes, and I should add too
05:38 that she also tried other herbs that were standard herbs
05:40 but they weren't helping her in that particular case
05:44 which brings me to an important point
05:47 that we need to know what the condition is,
05:51 what is causing it to really be intelligent
05:54 in selecting the very best herbs
05:56 specific for that condition.
05:58 Absolutely, so you're saying...
06:00 you need to get to the root of the problem.
06:01 Lee: Root of the problem, exactly.
06:03 Yvonne: And how do you know what that is?
06:05 Lee: Well, I've been doing health consultations with people
06:09 over the last ten years and I found most of the time
06:13 people will tell you what it is.
06:16 Yvonne: Hmmm...
06:17 Lee: It's not always the case but usually they can pinpoint
06:20 to when it started to go haywire...
06:23 certain events, maybe, even certain decisions
06:25 that they made in their lives that caused that problem
06:28 but also a lifestyle analysis
06:31 where you can see if they're eating healthy...
06:34 or what their stress levels are, exercise and...
06:37 I try to explain to people that although herbs have a place,
06:42 they're not a substitute for poor lifestyle habits,
06:45 Yvonne: Hmmm...
06:47 Lee: So, if we have a good lifestyle,
06:48 the herbs will actually compliment that more
06:50 than someone who has a bad lifestyle...
06:53 and is just taking them for... to get rid of their headache
06:55 or a cold or something like that.
06:58 That's such a great point because
07:00 you don't want people to think,
07:02 "Well, I can just pop some herbs... "
07:04 just like a popping pill...
07:05 and that it's going to change things
07:08 because you want to get to the root cause of it
07:11 and the herbs can help with this... not just the symptoms
07:16 but help to alleviate the root cause of it,
07:19 so, you don't want to just abuse your body and then say,
07:23 "Oh, I can just take this herb and it's fine... "
07:25 no, if you're not getting enough sleep,
07:27 if you're not eating properly, if you're too stressed out,
07:30 those are the things that you have to address as well.
07:33 Lee: Right... right... well the Bible says that
07:35 the curse causeless shall not come...
07:37 then it also says, " the honour of God to conceal a matter:
07:40 it's the Glory of God, to search it out. "
07:42 Yvonne: Hmmm...
07:44 Lee: And so, this is something that God requires us
07:48 to look into and to study,
07:50 it says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge. "
07:52 Yvonne: Yes...
07:53 Lee: And it also reminds me of a text in 2nd Corinthians
07:59 actually I'd like to read it to you.
08:00 Yvonne: Yes, please.
08:02 Lee: 2nd Corinthians chapter 1 verse 6
08:05 and at the time when you are going through these experiences,
08:09 you wonder if it's ever going to end and you start to question
08:13 "Is God really answering my prayer?"
08:15 And it can really be a struggle of one's faith,
08:18 when you have prolonged illness,
08:20 and especially when you're doing everything in your power
08:22 to do that which is correct, but it says here,
08:26 "And whether we be afflicted,
08:28 it is for your consolation and salvation,
08:32 which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings
08:37 which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,
08:41 it is for your consolation and salvation. "
08:43 Yvonne: Hmmm...
08:44 Lee: And the reason I'm bringing this text out is
08:46 because at the time when we're going through this,
08:49 we didn't know that God had a plan to use this experience
08:52 and I don't believe that God loves suffering,
08:57 I believe He does everything he can do to relieve suffering,
09:02 but on going through this experience,
09:05 He was able to turn it for good.
09:07 Yvonne: Yes.
09:08 Lee: And now looking back, we can see
09:11 how He permitted these events to occur
09:13 that now, we can help other people with some of their issues
09:17 and that was not the only experience we had
09:19 because we also used herbs for hormones...
09:22 my wife had hormonal problems, that helped stabilize them,
09:26 the doctors said we wouldn't have children
09:28 and we tried for years to have children
09:31 and nothing was happening and then
09:34 we used a particular herb,
09:37 maybe I shouldn't share it with you,
09:40 Yvonne: We need to know...
09:42 Lee: I'm not saying that if you take it,
09:44 you'll get pregnant but I'm also saying,
09:45 "If you take it, you may... "
09:47 Well, and you know what... you're not...
09:49 this Program is not about us saying,
09:52 "Don't take your medicine... "
09:54 this is not about us saying,
09:56 "Stop your meds and just do herbs... "
09:58 this is not what that's about, that would be irresponsible,
10:01 we don't do that, what we're doing though
10:03 is we're showing how God has made...
10:07 He's just made accommodation for us,
10:10 in such an amazing way with plants
10:14 and so, these are things... these are suggestions
10:18 certainly, if you are on medication,
10:20 do not stop and go to herbs abruptly like that
10:24 because that can... that can cause you big problems,
10:27 talk to your physician, pray about it...
10:30 but these are just things that you did,
10:32 that you tried that were successful for you,
10:36 so what was it?
10:38 Laughter...
10:40 Lee: You twist my arm...
10:42 yeah, it was called, "Chase Tree Berry or Vitex"
10:44 Oh yeah, Vitex... Agnus-Castus...
10:46 that's the one... you're familiar with it?
10:48 Yvonne: Yeah, I was into Naturopath too.
10:51 Lee: That's right, that's right, so, she tried that,
10:54 within two weeks she was pregnant...
10:56 Yvonne: Within two weeks?
10:58 Lee: Within two weeks... and we had our first child
11:01 when my wife was just turning about 39
11:03 and we thought, "That's it...
11:06 we're not going to have anymore children,
11:07 but after seeing three years of selfishness in our son,
11:11 we thought, "Maybe he needs a sibling"
11:14 we were ambitious enough to try it again
11:17 and within a few days, she was pregnant again
11:20 and we had our second child at around the time of 43
11:24 and she was perimenopause at 34,
11:28 so you can imagine, to have a second child at 43
11:31 is quite amazing.
11:33 Yvonne: That is amazing... that is amazing.
11:36 Lee: Yeah, so that really got our attention.
11:38 Yvonne: Yes.
11:40 Lee: And then we also used herbs for our children as well
11:42 and we started seeing results with that
11:44 using things like elderberry for colds and flus
11:47 and help boost up their immune system,
11:50 and then other people said, "Can you make it for us?"
11:53 And it just went on, you know...
11:55 Yes, yes, yes, and so you found
11:58 that the efficacy of these plants,
12:02 you really just couldn't dispute it... because it worked,
12:05 when nothing else was working these plants worked.
12:08 Lee: Yeah.
12:10 Yvonne: How did you learn how to do the formulas
12:13 because you don't just take a plant...
12:14 I mean, what do you do with it,
12:16 people don't know what to do,
12:17 do you make a decoction, do you make a tincture,
12:19 like what do you do with it?
12:21 Most people don't know what to do.
12:23 Exactly, well, at first you need to
12:25 learn the properties of the herb
12:26 and you need to learn their action
12:28 and the wonderful thing about herbs...
12:30 and we're talking safe herbs,
12:31 we're not talking about herbs that no one's ever heard of,
12:35 some exotic herb in Paraguay... you know...
12:39 because thousands of herbs are toxic
12:41 and so, we need to stick with what the sign says
12:45 and what has been used over thousands of years
12:48 that are considered safe,
12:49 a lot of what our grandmothers used to feed to us.
12:52 Yvonne: Right... right...
12:53 Lee: But Science is starting to catch up with these things,
12:56 so, look at the plant, study it,
12:59 now herbs generally are very forgiving,
13:03 that means, if you took a little bit too much,
13:06 you're not going to die, in fact...
13:09 and we're talking again... about the safe herbs.
13:11 Yvonne: Right... right...
13:12 Lee: Because their body has a way to deal with them
13:15 okay, but when you isolate the components of the herb,
13:18 you can get a more toxic reaction.
13:19 Yvonne: Hmmm...
13:21 Lee: All right so, your body actually will tell you
13:24 what is right for you,
13:25 so the safe approach is to start on the lowest dosage
13:29 and then give it a few days, see if there's any change...
13:33 if there's no change, you may want to increase...
13:36 and you need to work with someone
13:37 who knows what they're doing and then see how that...
13:41 your body is responding to that...
13:43 and... because what may be working for you
13:46 in the same amount... may not work for me.
13:49 Yvonne: Right... right...
13:50 Lee: Okay, so... you have to also persist in it
13:55 and herbs are very similar to Jesus' character.
13:58 Yvonne: How so?
14:00 Lee: Well, because God has placed around us
14:04 herbs that have the greatest benefit for where we live
14:08 okay, and so, wherever we walk...
14:11 if you walk in your backyard,
14:13 you'll find, there's something in your garden
14:16 that is growing wild...
14:18 Yvonne: Wait, Brother Lee, wait, you are saying that
14:21 this is mind-boggling... you are saying that
14:25 wherever you live... there are natural...
14:28 there are herbs... natural remedies right there
14:32 that can address some of the common conditions
14:35 for that area, wow...
14:38 Lee: Yeah. Yvonne: How amazing is God!
14:40 Lee: It says in Romans 10 that God is nigh unto us,
14:43 we don't have to go far off to find God...
14:46 Lee: And it's like herbs... they're very unobtrusive,
14:49 they're not knocking on our door getting our attention,
14:52 they're all around us
14:53 and there are herbs that tend to be the greatest blessing
14:56 often, we see them as the greatest curse.
14:58 Yvonne: Okay, like?
15:00 Lee: For example... like nettle...
15:01 if you've ever dreamt about stinging nettles...
15:04 Yvonne: Ah... no...
15:06 Lee: Did you ever wish you had some in your salad?
15:10 Yvonne: No...
15:11 Lee: Do you know that nettle has the highest concentration
15:14 of nutrition of any food or herb that we know of...
15:17 even green or blue algae, it's high in Vitamin A,
15:20 it's got Vitamin Bs...
15:22 it's even got small amount of B12,
15:23 Vitamin C, D, E, K, P, it's got macro-micro nutrients,
15:28 it's... it's... very high in phytochemistry,
15:32 it's a natural antihistamine,
15:34 what's funny about nettle... is... it will sting you
15:37 but if you cook it, it's an antihistamine.
15:41 Yvonne: Really?
15:42 Lee: Isn't that amazing? Yvonne: Ah...
15:44 Lee: And so, it's good for the eyes,
15:46 it's good for the stomach, the liver, the kidneys,
15:49 the skin... I mean... and it's such a humble herb
15:51 and it's viewed like a curse.
15:55 Yvonne: Yes... yes...
15:56 Lee: And it's a bit like Jesus, isn't it?
15:58 He's... He's... there... He's right with us...
15:59 but we... we don't esteem Him...
16:02 as He really should receive that honor that He deserves.
16:06 Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
16:07 Lee: Same as things like Dandelion...
16:09 we just run them over with the lawn mower,
16:10 or Milk Thistle...
16:12 Plantain... which is just as good as charcoal
16:16 for emergency medicine,
16:17 so, these things that are growing in our backyards,
16:21 we could use... but we just have no idea what they're good for.
16:24 Yvonne: Yes... yea... like with Dandelion...
16:27 blood building and iron and Milk Thistle for the liver,
16:30 if we would just investigate what we have
16:36 like, "What's in your hand... " like with Aaron...
16:39 and Moses... "What's in your hand?"
16:40 If we would just look at what's in our gardens
16:44 or what's around us, now, for those who are watching
16:47 who don't have a garden, you don't have...
16:50 you live in a city, a high rise...
16:53 you can have an herbal garden on your patio,
16:56 on your terrace, right?
16:58 You can just have a little, or have one in the apartment,
17:01 so you don't have to... you don't have to have
17:04 like a big garden because I'm not into...
17:06 I can't garden or anything... but you could have some herbs...
17:10 some basil and just some...
17:13 Lee: Aloe Vera... Yvonne: Aloe Vera..
17:14 if you have a burn... just take that and...
17:16 take a leaf and rub it on the burn,
17:18 I mean, so many things... so, so, you got interested
17:22 after finding all of these things with your family,
17:25 the Lord let you know this is...
17:28 this is the path that I have for you, is that it?
17:30 Lee: Yes... Yvonne: How did you do that?
17:31 Lee: It wasn't the path of my choosing...
17:33 Yvonne: Really?
17:34 Lee: Because I was more teaching
17:36 Physiology... Lifestyle Medicine,
17:39 what we call the "Eight Laws of Health,"
17:41 nutrition, fresh air, exercise, sunlight and so on...
17:44 but I saw a component that was missing
17:51 as far as using natural methods
17:53 to apply... from the perspective of restoring
17:57 and so, I started to study more and I felt a drawing
18:05 in that area and... because
18:07 how God brought us through in our lifestyle,
18:11 in our journey with herbs,
18:13 I realized that they're more efficacious
18:15 than I originally thought they were,
18:17 and that really perked my interest
18:20 because I had studied Nutrition, I taught Nutrition
18:23 and so, "herbs" were just a little deviation...
18:27 a little bit away from that but on the same lines
18:30 because they're for nutrition and phytochemistry
18:34 and vitamins and minerals and so... it was...
18:38 really a developing interest.
18:41 And it has become a passion for you hasn't it?
18:44 Lee: Yes it has... yes... Yvonne: I can tell...
18:46 I can tell... when I was talking to you at ASI
18:49 and I saw all of the remedies that you have
18:51 and people need to know how they can get those, by the way,
18:54 how can they get your natural remedies?
18:57 Yeah, we actually have a website...
18:59 it's www. herballiving. org
19:04 and that's... that gives a list of all our different products
19:09 but you won't find any information
19:13 as far as how they work because it's in regulations
19:16 so they'll just have a name on there
19:19 and the ingredients on there. Yvonne: Right...
19:22 Lee: But we also have another website called:
19:25 www. Lightingtheworld. org
19:29 and that is to give us information on training,
19:33 and so if you want to do a course on Natural Remedies
19:36 because there are so many courses out there
19:38 but the problem is that
19:41 the devil has taken a lot of what God has made
19:44 and he's put his own philosophy on that
19:47 so, there are very, very few herb courses
19:51 that actually have a Christian perspective.
19:54 Yvonne: Hmmm...
19:55 Lee: I mean God is the one that made the herbs,
19:58 it says in Psalm 104:14 that God gave us the herbs
20:01 for the... for the service of man...
20:03 so they're our servants
20:06 and that's another reason they represent Jesus.
20:09 Yvonne: Yes, yes...
20:10 so tell us about this Course that you have, what's in it?
20:14 Lee: Okay, well, we cover about a thousand different herbs,
20:19 what they're good for and how to make different formulas
20:23 and different things at home.
20:24 Yvonne: Ah...
20:25 Lee: So, if you want to learn how to make something
20:27 for your children, if they get a cold...
20:29 you want to boost their immune system
20:31 or maybe you want to make an extract or a certain tea
20:35 for energy or a cream, okay, so we go through
20:39 all the different systems and how we can apply
20:43 natural remedies to those and just simple conditions
20:46 that, maybe you don't need to pop a pill but
20:49 just educate yourself how to make something
20:52 and you may see that you don't need to
20:57 go on another trip to the doctor to get a prescription
21:03 and I should add too that some people think,
21:07 "Well, if you're into herbal remedies,
21:09 then you're... you're not really that much into Allopathic
21:15 or you're not into conventional medicine"
21:17 but I take the approach that there are good in both sides
21:21 and we need to be educated
21:22 and we need to stick within the parameters
21:26 of... they're not competition, it's just we...
21:29 we know... through study
21:31 and through our own personal effort,
21:33 that we'll get a better idea
21:34 as to what applies to what situation.
21:36 Yvonne: Right...
21:37 Lee: So they can co-exist in an intelligent mind-set.
21:41 Yvonne: Yeah, you don't need to feel also that if you're...
21:45 if you're going to a doctor that you're sinning
21:48 and if you're just doing natural remedies,
21:51 you have to pray about it and ask for guidance
21:54 but God has given us natural remedies
21:58 so if you check... and I'm saying all this because
22:03 you really have to be careful
22:05 because some people will just kind of...
22:07 just kind of abandon everything and go into just the natural...
22:12 and we don't want to encourage that,
22:14 but we want to encourage you to do your homework,
22:18 to investigate the natural remedies,
22:21 find out from your doctor if you...
22:23 let him know that you want to...
22:25 or her... let them know that you want to try X, Y or Z...
22:31 so they're aware of what you're doing
22:33 but try and look into it... educate yourself
22:37 because these natural remedies can really get to the cause,
22:40 the root cause of the issue and that's really...
22:44 it... Allopathic Medicine... it's great for acute situations
22:50 but chronic situations are more challenging.
22:52 Lee: That's correct.
22:54 Yvonne: Because the Pharmaceuticals
22:55 are not necessarily curative,
22:57 they are palliative...
22:59 they kind of help you to mitigate the symptoms,
23:02 but they're not necessarily reaching the cure...
23:05 I mean... the cause...
23:06 so, we don't want you again... and I'm really emphasizing this
23:11 because I want to make sure you get it,
23:13 don't just stop your meds but educate yourself
23:16 and that's what you do, you give them...
23:20 you give the Viewer who is watching...
23:22 if they want your Course... an education
23:25 in the different herbs and what they do.
23:27 Lee: That's correct.
23:28 Yvonne: And how much is it, what's the cost for the class?
23:31 Lee: For the whole one-month course, it is $495
23:35 and we're also working on a six-month program
23:39 which will be an extension to that one-month
23:43 which will help people to learn how they can, for example,
23:48 start their own herb ministry or become an instructor
23:51 in herbal remedies and things like that...
23:53 so, it's more for the serious students that want it.
23:57 Yes, those who want to kind of delve more deeply into it
24:00 and maybe... maybe some of our Viewers
24:04 can do the $495... if they... maybe over time
24:08 can set up something with you and then pay
24:11 and then get the course at the end of that
24:14 you could work something out.
24:15 Well, I should add... it's not actually...
24:17 I'm in the Instructor... the Organization is:
24:22 Lay Institute of Global Health Training
24:25 and so that's based in Georgia and so,
24:28 I'm sort of coming in there as the Instructor
24:30 and they're the ones that put the course platform together
24:36 and take phone calls.
24:38 Yvonne: Oh, okay, is it online?
24:40 Lee: It's online, it is online. Yvonne: Oh, okay.
24:43 Lee: Totally online...
24:44 Yvonne: That's great... that's great.
24:46 Lee: I was going to say we also do Seminars
24:50 on the weekend specially for people that want to see
24:54 how to make these things.
24:56 Yvonne: So you teach them.
24:57 Lee: Right, it's like a cooking school with herbs.
25:00 Yvonne: Yes... that's so incredible
25:01 because that's one of the things
25:03 that you and I have talked and you're going to come and
25:06 do some work on Dare to Dream
25:08 and teach natural remedies and herbal... herbal remedies...
25:11 Lee: Yeah, and get you in the kitchen.
25:13 Yvonne: Okay, cool... I love it... I love it...
25:15 Lee: That will be fun.
25:17 Yvonne: Get me in the kitchen, okay, that sounds good,
25:19 tell us some of the things that you would include in the Series.
25:22 Lee: Well, these are simple things that everyone can make
25:26 so, for example, a lot of mothers
25:28 want to know how to take care of their children,
25:31 so, if they're getting a runny nose,
25:33 if they're getting a cough... sore throat,
25:35 getting a cold, help boost that,
25:38 we could show how to make extracts,
25:41 how to make simple creams or salves,
25:43 if you got some inflammation, some little pain,
25:46 you can rub something topically on that... it helps with that...
25:49 how to make different teas and decoctions
25:52 and we'll probably even throw in some herbal smoothies.
25:55 Yvonne: Oh cool...
25:56 Lee: I'm getting really creative after you asked me about this.
26:00 Yvonne: I like it, I like that, herbal smoothies.
26:03 Lee: I even thought of an herb cake.
26:04 Yvonne: Really.
26:05 Lee: Yeah, oh, well not all herbs but
26:08 it will be a cake with some herbs.
26:11 Yvonne: Okay, that sounds good, yummy, that sounds good,
26:15 so what do you want the Viewer to take away
26:18 from the presentations that you make
26:21 and your whole philosophy about herbs,
26:25 what do you want to the Viewer to take away?
26:26 Lee: I want them to understand that this is something
26:30 that they themselves can do at home, very simple with it,
26:34 just a little bit of knowledge and a kitchen to use
26:37 some pots and pans so my role is to educate
26:40 and I believe that if people can swallow some education
26:42 they can avoid a lot of medication
26:44 and so I would like to get more and more people interested
26:51 in natural remedies and I see a growing trend
26:54 especially here in the United States
26:56 and First-world Countries of herbal medicine,
26:59 in fact, according to the World Health Organization,
27:02 we have over 4 billion people in the world using herbs.
27:04 Yvonne: Hmmm...
27:05 Lee: And even a lot of drug derivatives come from herbs
27:11 about 25 percent of modern pharmaceuticals
27:15 used in this Country come from herbs
27:17 so, we just want to get people excited about using them,
27:22 and using them intelligently.
27:23 Yvonne: Yes...
27:25 Lee: Because there's a right way and a wrong way,
27:27 so we need to educate... the right way.
27:29 Yvonne: Well, thank you so much, you've just...
27:31 you've given us some good education today
27:32 and we get to see your passion for the Lord and for this area
27:38 so thank you so much.
27:39 Lee: Thank you for having me, it's been a blessing.
27:42 Yvonne: And keep us informed as to what you're doing
27:45 and how we can reach you
27:46 and we'll put it up on our Facebook as well.
27:48 Lee: Great.
27:50 Yvonne: Well, we've reached the end of another Program,
27:53 I can't believe how quickly our time has flown,
27:56 you know, you need to check out herbs,
27:59 pray and then join us next time
28:02 because it just wouldn't be the same... without you.
