Customer Comments Warts on Fingers and Hands " My 12-year-old son, Henry, had warts on his fingers and hand. The dermatologist's painful liquid nitrogen and salicylic acid treatments were ineffective, and my son begged me to let him stop the treatments. My wife's cousin sells Nature's Sunshine products. She recommended BLACK WALNUT capsules and the topical liquid. I thought it was 'snake oil.' Within three weeks his warts were gone. Thanks for a great product. It has given my son a painless and complete cure for his warts." J.M., Louisiana Dentist's Approval "Yesterday I spent 1-1/2 hours in my dentist's chair in order to have temporary crown work done. Because of prayer and your wonderful herbs, I came through the ordeal in a calm way. I didn't have as much pain either. This is what I am taking: OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT, BLACK WALNUT, COENZYME Q10, ANTIOXIDANTS, BEE POLLEN, FLAX SEED, LIQUID CALCIUM, SPIRULINA and LIQUID MINERALS. My dentist is an alternative dentist. He was very pleased with my taking the BLACK WALNUT and OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT. He recommended VITAMIN C also. I also rinse my mouth with TEA TREE OIL and water. It all helps." Mary Ann Deworming "I'm a licensed nurse and have been interested in herbs for about 4 years. We have 70-80 goats and I've found that the chemical products are too harsh and don't really solve any problems. I've been using herbal dewormers (wormwood, tarragon, thyme, and BLACK WALNUT) and have done parasite counts before and after treatment with both drugs and the herbs, and I'm much more satisfied with the herbal results." Julie Heartworms Are Gone! "My dog, Bandit, was diagnosed with heartworms last year after I took him for an appointment because he was coughing and seemed to be getting weak. The vet gave him 6 months to live. I didn't want to use the chemical and drug method, so I went home and contacted TheHerbsPlace.com. I decided to use an herbal program and now here we are a year later with a healthier dog and the heartworm test showing totally clear! They're gone! We are so happy." Robin    Read her entire story.
