Earl wrote me about boluses.

Intuitively, he was correct. Over the years, I have been making copious notes about varying the Christopher formula so that it might work even better.

At one time, I was under the impression that Christopher was something of a wind bag with
significant healing gifts. Until getting the CD-ROM of his work, I hadn't realized how erudite Christopher was. If you want to get lost for hours in ancient herbalism, get his CD-ROM.

Anyway, there are about five herbs that I have considered using, but thus far the bolus seems to be more or less fine the way it is. It works
better on dysplasias and hyperplasias and precancerous conditions than it does for
fibroids and endometriosis so here is an area where formula adjustments may be really important.

I'm not sure about cysts? Ovarian cysts? We have had some luck with Red Sun Balm, the cayenne formula. Polyps? Maybe a little poke root?

I’ve found most ovarian cysts and fibroids can be eliminated in ten days or so by using Christopher’s herbal bolus found on page 198 with the exception of using virgin coconut oil instead of cocoa butter and adding one part plantain along with one part of ground garlic powder. One time I used a small clove but lost it for three days. Now I do it a little differently:

I make my mix and then pour it into an ice tray. Cool it in the refrigerator and cut into the cubes making two boluses which I then shaped into a bullet. This makes it easier to insert and can be pushed further into the vagina. Now, the important part:

Each morning, the vagina should be manually cleaned out with your fingers scraping the inner folds of the vagina. This is done before you use the vaginal douche formula found on the same page. You should also check the size of the cyst or fibroid each time. The new bolus is then inserted. You will find the cyst or fibroid slowly being reduced in size until it’s all gone. The fibroid will feel like a small ridge where it once was. Checking on it a month later, sometimes this ridge will also have been eliminated. This I have found in five women to date.

I've had two volunteers get rid of their polyps in less than two weeks simply by drinking Willard Water XXX in solution as always.

The first time I was made aware of this was when an elderly gentleman had been diagnosed with colon polyps and then began drinking Willard Water. When he went in to have them surgically removed, his doctor couldn't find any knowing he had them just three weeks earlier.

The second time this happened was when another elderly gentleman was also diagnosed with colon polyps and told me about his forthcoming operation in two weeks. I asked him if he could get an extension figuring it would take three weeks for the Willard Water to do its thing. He got talked into the operation at the appointed time and to his doctor's amazement, all he could find were a lot of shriveled up sacs and when he touched them, they fell off. Completely mystified he was and remains so to this day as my volunteer never told him making good his promise not to.

Interesting that this has been so successful for you. I have had middling results.

This said, I checked with the Christopher folks as to whether they meant cocoa butter from cocoa beans (chocolate) or from coconuts. Both are called cocoa butter but they melt at different temperatures and have many other differences. In any event, they assured me that Dr. Christopher used coconut butter. It melts at 76 degrees Fahrenheit but there are many women who tell me that the boluses do not dissolve. I have suspected they are making them incorrectly, cooking the ingredients instead of stirring them into melted coconut butter. When I make them, I roll them on wax paper and they are puddles unless immediately put into the refrigerator, each one wrapped individually. Tracy's use of an ice cube tray sounds a good deal more efficient.

The other point I might bring up is that Dr. Christopher's formula has comfrey root. It's on the FDA hit list right now; but herbalists agree that it is mutating quickly into a toxic plant. When these allegations were first made, people thought the cattle that had toxic reactions had eaten foxglove rather than comfrey, but comfrey is apparently going through some kind of metamorphosis.

In the last batch I made up, I substituted violets for comfrey, following the lead of Hildegard of Bingen and much research coming out of England.

The comfrey I've been using grows in my back yard and it still works great. I purchased some from a health food store in Trail, B.C. and it too worked great.

I found when cleaning the boluses out of the vagina the next morning, the slippery elm part was really messy and acted like glue. The bolus had definitely spread.
The use of VCNO, not butter, was easy to work with and cooled almost immediately in the refrigerator. When it came to use one, all I had to do was prick it out of the tray and shape it before it melted.
Should it have melted too much, a few minutes in the freezer made it hard enough and easy for insertion.

Now I have been making boluses for years by my grandmas method of cocoa butter and have added unrefined coconut butter recently to save money and they both work equally as well with a great melting point. I make molds by rolling squares of alluminium foil around a wooden spoon handle and seal off the bottom and fill them with a turkey baster or a plastic syringe with melted mixture and place them in the freezer. My new ones are made with violets last month since I had such excellent results with hildegards violet salve on skin tags and skin growths. But in small amounts to start. By the way tracy what is VCNO?

Virgin Coconut Oil. I order mine from the Philippines through Brian Shilhavy at brian@coconut-info.com He has a distributor in the U.S.

Demand for virgin coconut oil has soared in recent months because of health hype. I had a little on my counter and it was completely liquid yesterday (in a jar) -- we are having unseasonably hot weather, but I doubt it was more than 78 in the house.

I have considered for a long time using the formula as a liquid instead of semi-solid. It would be more tolerable (not icy cold) and perhaps easier to manage. Over the years, we have tried various moulds and extremely large capsules/bullets, but no perfect delivery method has been developed.

Ingrid, I have a patient who has leukoplakia (sp?) where the outer layer of the l walls trun white, flakey, and peel off. She also has endometriosis, and wants to use the bolus, but gets horrible allergic reactions to coconut. Is there any other oil that would do in this case? Palm oil? Thanks, Lupe

Yes, Lupe, I think you could use any food grade oil that is liquid at body temperature. You can probably also use a syringe if the bolus isn't hard enough to insert. I suppose you could also use frozen boluses and insert them as they are thawing but before becoming too soft (sounds a little too challenging to me.)
