Myrrh is referred to in the Bible. It was used by Egyptians in embalming mixtures. It was used as an aromatic for perfumes, funerals, and insect repellents. It is used today as an aid to repel tooth decay and gum disease. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians used the herb to treat wounds and prescribed it internally as a digestive aid and menstruation promoter.
Contemporary herbalists recommend adding powdered myrrh to well-washed wounds as an antiseptic and consider a gargle made from the herb effective against sore throat, colds, sore teeth and gums, coughs, asthma, and chest congestion.
Remedies For:
Anti-microbial, astringent, carminative, anti-catarrhal, expectorant, vulnerary, alterative, analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, emmenagogue, expectorant, stimulant, rejuvenative
Myrrh is an effective anti-microbial agent that has been shown to work in two complementary ways. Primarily it stimulates the production of white blood corpuscles (with their anti-pathogenic actions) and secondarily it has a direct anti-microbial effect.
Myrrh may be used in a wide range of conditions where an anti-microbial agent is needed. It finds specific use in the treatment of infections in the mouth such as mouth ulcers, gingivitis, phyorrhoea, as well as the catarrhal problems of pharyngitis and sinusitis. It may also help with laryngitis and respiratory complaints.
Systemically it is of value in the treatment of boils and similar conditions as well as glandular fever and brucellosis. It is often used as part of an approach to the treatment of the common cold. Externally it will be healing and antiseptic for wounds and abrasions.
Myrrh is a common ingredient in European toothpaste to fight the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
Myrrh may help prevent heart disease. Preliminary Indian studies suggest that it reduces cholesterol. The herb may also help prevent the internal blood clots that trigger heart attack.
Ayurvedic practitioners suggest that myrrh is useful for: Amenorrhea, anemia, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, cough, dysmenorrhea, menopause, rheumatism, traumatic injuries, ulcerated surfaces, as an infusion with rose petals (50 parts) used as a mouthwash, mouth inflammations, as a gargle for spongy gums, used in tooth powder, indigestion, wasting diseases, prevents loss of hair, menstrual disorders, and chlorosis problems of young girls.

 Structured or Clustered Water
There is a laboratory in Livermore, California that can measure the 17O NMR line width, in Hertz, for various liquids that contain Oxygen, including water.
Over the years, many folks have found that brackish water will have a line width as large as 150 Hz. This is interpreted as saying that the water molecules are not free, but congregate into water clusters that are as large as 30-40 water molecules, mostly randomly configured, so that the 17O line width is larger because of the many different clusters.
Then, water in a living cell is measured and the line width is usually around 62-65 Hz, which is interpreted as saying that these water molecules form hexagonal water clusters with a repeateable structure, which makes the line width smaller.
Fresh biological water such as urine also measures out at around 65 Hz and so do many mountain spring waters that do not touch metal or are not heated before being tested.
Distilled water usually comes in at around 100 Hz.
Our Volamin Water Concentrate comes in at around 49-51 Hz, which we interpret as being “super-clustered”.

Cinnamon was used in ancient Egypt for embalming. In ancient times, Cinnamon was added to food to prevent spoiling. During the Bubonic Plague, sponges were soaked in cinnamon & cloves and placed in sick rooms. Cinnamon was the most sought after spice during explorations of the 15th and 16th centuries. It has also been burned as an incense. The smell of Cinnamon is pleasant, stimulates the senses, yet calms the nerves. It’s smell is reputed to attract customers to a place of business.
Cinnamon is also known by the names Cassia, Sweet Wood, and Gui Zhi. The common name Cinnamon encompasses many varieties, including Cinnamomum cassia and Cinamomum saigonicum, which are used interchangeably with Cinnamomum zeylanicum. The parts of the plant used are the inner bark and twigs.
Cinnamons primary properties are antibacterial, antifungal, aphrodisiac, carminative, digestive tonic, diuretic, and stimulant. The primary known constituents include cinnamaldehyde, gum, tannin, mannitol, coumarins, and essential oils (aldehydes, eugenol, pinene). Cinnamon is generally available as a tea, tincture, and capsules.
Historical culinary uses include apple dishes, baked goods, chocolate, coffee, curries, French toast, eggnog, teas, pickles, puddings, rice dishes, and wine.
Hot apple cider just doesn’t taste the same without a Cinnamon stick. And toast, cookies, candies and fruit salads-not to mention cappuccino-all benefit from a generous sprinkling of its sweet powder. But cinnamon’s most popular work isn’t as a kitchen spice. This herb has been used medicinally for thousands of years to fight tooth decay, clear up urinary tract
infections and soothe stomach irritation.
Ancient Chinese herbal references cite its uses as early as 2700 BC and Chinese herbalists still recommend it for relieving nausea, fever, diarrhea, and menstrual problems. Modern herbalists disagree on its ability to aid in menstrual difficulties; some think it stimulates uterine contractions, while others believe it calms the muscle.

Effectively Kills Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi!
Without Side Effects!
 Colloidal Silver was the antibiotic treatment used by thousands of medical doctors, prior to 1938. It was the only effective tool to kill infections.
Silver has been known for its germ-killing properties for centuries.
Hypocrites, the “Father of Medicine” used Silver for wound healing.
Ancient Greeks and Romans used Silver to kill bodily infections and prevent food spoilage.
The King of Persia used Silver containers to carry water to prevent contamination.
After antibiotic drugs were discovered, Colloidal Silver was pushed aside.
Failing Antibiotics
Antibiotics have been overused and misused for flu and other viral infections that don’t respond to antibiotics. They’re also abused on farms to keep crowded animals from infections and to gain weight faster.
Now after decades of overuse, antibiotics are losing their effectiveness. “Superbugs” are growing fast. Big pharmaceutical companies have shifted their research and development to more profitable drugs.
Some germs are resistant to all available drugs… except for Colloidal Silver.
- effective against over 650 different infectious microorganisms
