Healing is often a process; as we do what we can do in the natural, God will do what we cannot do in the supernatural.
Here are the seven things I recommend you do in the natural to have a healthy life:
1. Guard your heart and vascular system.
2. Protect yourself against cancer.
3. Balance your immune system.
4. Take recommended supplements.
5. Eat properly.
6. Exercise regularly.
7. Deal with stress.
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
- Psalm 139:14
You have a unique way that will bring about healing to your body - ordained and divinely appointed by God. And if you are already blessed with good health, there is a way to help you protect it. God knows exactly what you need as an individual. He will reveal it to you. He promises that.
Dr. Cherry,
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago and the pain and inability to tolerate physical things such as yard work and some house work is getting worse. I enjoy doing these things and want a neat clean place. What can you recommend for this problem?

A full spectrum nutritional supplement (such as Basic Nutrient Support) that specifically includes magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids/fish oil, coenzyme Q10, vitamins A, C, E and B vitamins, grape seed extract and antioxidants is a good place to start.
From Bible Health Secrets (pages 133-134): “Serotonin levels are low in people who have fibromyalgia and other pain disorders…5-HTP is proving to be an extremely useful supplement with fibromyalgia…5-HTP is helpful in counteracting the chronic pain, fatigue and depression that accompany fibromyalgia. Doses should begin at 50 mg three times daily and increase to 100 mg three times daily after 2-3 weeks, if adequate responses are not noted.” SAM (S-Adenosylmethionine) has been shown in studies to be helpful as well.
Because fibromyalgia is an immune disorder, a supplement that helps to balance the immune system, such as Immunity Support may be beneficial. Also, malabsorption problems are common in people with fibromyalgia, so digestive enzymes and probiotics, such as those found in Digestion Support help break down the nutrients and provide a healthier digestive environment.
Be sure to drink plenty of liquids, eat a low-inflammatory diet (eliminate saturated fats, sugars and processed foods) and exercise to the extent you are able.
As always when dealing with a medical condition, consult your healthcare professional before beginning or changing a supplement program.
Dear Dr. Cherry:
What type of vitamins do I need to take when I am experiencing sever agitate and irritable. I am a practicing godly lady but, these symptoms are bringing out the worst in me and in return a tremendous amount of guilt and disappointment towards myself.
Can you also please pray for me while I am being tapered off an antidepressant called "Paxil"? I am feeling highly anxious, nervous, irritable & agitated not to mention very sad. If you can please help me with advice or pray for me that will be wonderful also.

where do i get the hibiscuis tea and how do i prepare it. reynolds2@windstream.net
I buy the tea at Whole Foods grocery store. You can order it from Frontier Natural Products in Norway, IA. Frontiercoop.com, 800-669-3275.
Directions are on the bag, steep 3-5 minutes. I steep for 3-5 hours. It really works! It is not inexpensive, as a 16 oz. bag costs betwen $17.00-$20.00. It lasts a long time and is worth every penny. It is a lot cheaper than medication, in more ways than just price.
Dr. Cherry,
What do you think of Acai "the superberry"? I have heard good things about it, but wanted to get your view on this supplement.
Thank you very much. You have a very informative website!
Be Blessed,

I'm told that my LDL (bad cholesterol)is high and since I've already had 2 strokes my Dr. wants me to start Lipidil. I was unable to take Lipitor because of muscluar pain. Is there anything natural I could take. What food help to reduce it?
Thanks I enjoy your website. Not sure if this is where I should be asking this question.

You may want to talk to your doctor about how certain supplements such as Omega-3 fatty acids, Krill oils, policosanol and red yeast rice may fit in your protocol. The B-vitamin niacin is well-known for it's cholesterol-lowering effect, but amounts above the RDI should be taken under doctor's supervision.
Foods that have been shown to have a positive effect on cholesterol are oats, soy protein, plant sterols(such as in Benecol), red grape juice/red wine, green tea, blueberries, almonds, and garlic. Some of the active compunds in these foods are also available in supplement form.
A diet rich in high fiber foods and vegetables - such as the Mediterranean diet - will also support your heart health.
