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. |
