Welcome!
Hey, it’s Yuri and I’m happy that you now have in your hands my
“Home Remedy Handbook”…

I’ve got 3 kids at home and with that comes all sorts of ailments and
little nagging health problems…

Instead of turning to Tylenol and Advil or dangerous pharmaceutical

drugs, this handbook contains some of the common natural
remedies we use in our household.

Even though these home remedies are terrific to use…

Please remember that the health of your liver, colon, and adrenals
will also make a profound impact on how healthy or sick you are…

That’s why it’s important to ensure you’re eating the right foods and
keeping your body clean from the inside-out…

If you’re interested, I’ve created a FREE “cleansing” workshop that

will show you how to do just that.

Enjoy the Handbook :)

General
Healing Tonics
Before we get into specific conditions and their
remedies, here are 3 “healing tonics” that we drink
on a daily basis…
These provide a good foundation for optimal
internal health so that many of the ailments in this
handbook are much less frequent.

Apple Cider Vinegar Water

Apple cider is easily the most IMPORTANT natural remedy you can
have in your home. It’s super inexpensive and is the go-to solution
for almost everything. Be sure to find raw, unpasteurized apple cider
vinegar, which contains the “mother”.

Here’s a simple recipe for adding it into your drinking water. You can
drink this as often as you like throughout the day with no side effects.

◆◆ 500 ml water
◆◆ 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Spicy Tea
I like to drink this when I’m winding down at night. It’s loaded with
all the essentials to keep your body healthy and feeling great.

◆◆ 500 ml water hot water

◆◆ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

◆◆ 1-inch piece of ginger, grated and juice squeezed into mug

◆◆ Juice of ½ lemon

◆◆ Pinch of cayenne pepper

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) in Water

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is your opportunity to turn fossils into
medicine as it is essentially the fossilized remains of diatoms—
marine algae that leave behind exoskeletons made up of silica.

Diatomaceous earth is perhaps most famous as a natural insecticide

that is safe for use environmentally as well as in direct application
on pets and people. DE dehydrates insects, killing them and their
larvae. This has made it an effective alternative as a anti-flea remedy
for many pet owners.

It’s good for mites as well, and in both cases it can be sparingly
dusted on your pet to kill off and control the insects. In the same
way, it can be used internally to kill intestinal parasites.

The easiest way to benefit from DE is to simply mix 1–2 tablespoons in

500 ml of water. It will easily dissolve and has little to no taste. Drink it
first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or before going to bed.

CAUTION: Be certain to purchase only Food Grade

diatomaceous earth, as the sort of DE sold for use in
pools is very unsafe for health uses. And also be sure NOT
to inhale the powder as it can be toxic if inhaled.

Here is a summary of some of the uses we have found

for Food Grade diatomaceous earth:
◉◉ Detoxing for metals and parasites—DE removes heavy metals
and kills parasites. Among other benefits from this detox is
a possibly reduced risk of Alzheimer’s as aluminum may increase
the risk of developing this disease.

◉◉ Regulates bowels, cleans out the colon and reduces

gastrointestinal inflammation.

◉◉ DE helps to repair and maintain lung function and can help

reduce coughing.

◉◉ Regular use of DE can help with some food intolerances.

◉◉ DE can be used to treat for head lice.

◉◉ DE sprinkled inside socks acts to help keep feet drier, useful if

fighting foot or nail fungus.
7

For Pets
◉◉ Killing fleas is one of the most popular uses of DE. Fleas can
never become resistant to DE, because the DE cuts and
dehydrates the fleas.

◉◉ Sprinkle DE on carpets and pet bedding; leave a few hours and

vacuum up. Repeat once a week for a month.

◉◉ Farmers have been adding DE to animal food for many years

because it is an effective de-wormer.

For the Home and Yard

◉◉ Bugs, bugs and more bugs—DE is able to kill many of them.
Bed bugs, fire ants, sugar and carpenter ants and flea beetles
are some of the pests we’d rather not live with who can be sent
packing with DE. Sprinkle it across doorways, behind cabinets or
wherever they seem to be hiding.

Sunburns
When we travel with our kids, or even with the hot
Canadian summer, there’s bound to be a sunburn or
two. The focus of treatment for sunburns centers
on reducing inflammation and pain. The following
remedies also protect the skin from further damage
and replenish vital nutrients in the skin. Apple cider
vinegar, aloe vera and coconut oil are among the
best treatment options.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. When
applied to a sunburn, it naturally soothes the skin and reduces pain.
The vitamins and minerals in apple cider vinegar also help replenish
lost nutrients in the skin to speed recovery.

Simply mix water and ACV 50:50 then soak a thin rag in it and wrap it
over the sunburn. Instant relief!

Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is an especially effective treatment for sunburn. It contains
a variety of vitamins, including A, C and E as well as folic acid and
choline, which replenish and rejuvenate the skin.

The substance also contains several amino acids and fatty acids
that function to relieve inflammation and redness. These same
compounds also make aloe vera a great gut healer too!

Ideally, you want to find a real aloe vera plant, cut it, and squeeze out
the gel onto your skin over the sunburn. If you don’t have access to
a live plant, then you can find aloe vera gel at most health food stores.
9

Coconut Oil
Coconut is effective for treating a variety of health conditions
including sunburns. Coconut oil contains a unique combination
of fatty acids that relieve inflammation and revitalize the skin.
The moisture that coconut oil offers also prevents peeling that
commonly results from sunburns.

Simply massage the coconut oil over the sunburn several times per day.
10

Colds
A cold is a viral infection of the nose and throat
that’s relatively harmless but causes the irritating
symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, sore throat,
coughing, and congestion of the chest and sinuses.
The common cold can be the result of any one of
a number of viruses, which can vary the symptoms
from a chest cold to a stubborn, bad cold.
Being an airborne virus, it is very easy to catch a cold. All the
sneezing and coughing sends infected water particles into the air,
easy to be inhaled and spreading the cold further. Hand washing is
important, especially for kids who are in school all day.

There are many natural remedies to prevent and alleviate the

common cold like:

◉◉ Vitamin C— ◉◉ Elderberry
up to bowel tolerance
◉◉ Garlic
◉◉ Ginger
◉◉ Apple cider vinegar
◉◉ Echinacea

However, not too long ago, I also came across a great home remedy
on EarthClinic.com that has worked like gangbusters.

Cold-Fighting “Tomato Tea”

◆◆ 1 cup tomato juice

◆◆ 1 tsp chopped fresh garlic

◆◆ ½ tsp of hot sauce (or pinch cayenne pepper)

◆◆ 1 tsp lemon juice

◆◆ Pinch of sea salt

Heat ingredients and drink hot.

This is also great for sinus infections and overall congestion.

11

Sore Throats
To soothe a sore throat, try the following apple
cider vinegar gargle. I find it more effective than
gargling with salt water…
◆◆ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

◆◆ 6 oz distilled water
(or regular water that has been boiled then cooled)

◆◆ Pinch of cayenne pepper

Mix all the ingredients and gargle with it several times per day.
12

Coughs
As annoying as it is, coughing does serve a purpose.
It’s a natural reflex to help clear out foreign
particles, irritants, and secretions from our lungs
and airways.
We’ve found that drinking apple cider is by far the most effective
way to get rid of a cough. However, you can also try the following:

Homemade Cough Syrup

◆◆ 6 onions, chopped

◆◆ 6 lemons (organic), chopped

◆◆ 1 cup raw honey

1. Place the onions and lemons in a double boiler, cover, and cook
over boiling then simmering water for one hour.

2. Remove the mixture from the heat and add honey.

3. Blend the mixture and strain it.

4. Take one tablespoon of warm “syrup” every hour.

13

Eye Infections
Not all eye infections are contagious but if you get
a case of “pink eye”, also known as conjunctivitis,
then that’s a different story.
It’s often caused by the entrance of bacteria into the eye by touching
or rubbing the face. Due to this inflammation and infection, the
small blood vessels in the membrane become more visible, causing
the white of the eyes to appear pink or reddish in color.

Common symptoms include a pink to red color in one or both eyes,

itchiness in one or both eyes, a gritty or dirty feeling in the eyes,
discharge or “gunk” that becomes crusty overnight and may make
opening the eye difficult. Pink eye may also include excessive tearing
as the body’s natural response to “cleanse” the eye.

To clear it up, here’s what we typically use at home. This first one
stings like hell but it’s mighty effective:

◆◆ ½ tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

◆◆ 4oz of distilled water

1. Boil the distilled water, let it cool, add ACV, then place in
sterilized dropper or eye cup and submerge affected eye.

2. Cleanse 2 to 3 times daily.

I’ve also found colloidal silver to be very effective. Simply add a few
drops of it into the affected eye several times per day.
14

Earaches
I never understood how much pain an ear infection
could cause until I sent myself to the hospital as
a result of having one about 2 years ago. It was
the most pain I can recall being in. No wonder kids
scream like crazy when they have one.
Most ear infections are caused by germs, including bacteria and
viruses, that get into the ear and middle ear. Since the Eustachian
tubes in the inner ear are very tiny, water from swimming can often
get trapped in there and start an infection as well. That’s what
happened in my case.

I’ve tried at least a dozen different things for ear infections and here
are the most useful:

Garlic-Mullein Ear Oil

◆◆ 1 part garlic oil 1. Warm the oils slightly by submerging
them (in a dropper bottle) into hot water.
◆◆ 3 parts mullein oil
2. Then add 1–2 drops into affected ear.

You can also use food grade hydrogen peroxide (diluted to 3%)
according to the following guidelines:

Lay on your side and using a dropper, drop in the 3% Hydrogen

Peroxide solution. If you have an infection going on, it will bubble
up like crazy—that’s how you know it’s working. When it stops
bubbling, simply tip your head to the side and drain it out—whatever
little Hydrogen Peroxide is left will evaporate.

For swimmers, it’s recommended to be proactive by using the

following before you go swimming:

◆◆ 1 oz colloidal silver

◆◆ 10 drops of tea tree oil

1. Combine both in a dropper bottle

and put 1–2 drops into ear before swimming.
15

Headaches
Many headaches are caused by poor circulation to
the head. Thus, most remedies that alleviate this
problem will help.
Once again, drinking apple cider vinegar is a clear winner for
headaches. However, you can also try the following:

◉◉ Rub peppermint oil mixed half and half with safflower

or lavender oil on your temples.

◉◉ Take 50mg of niacin together with B complex

to promote blood flow to the head.

◉◉ Drinking rosemary tea may also be helpful

◉◉ Place a warm wet towel around your head while you keep your
feet submerged in foot bath of very cold water. This will constrict
the blood vessels in your feet, open those in your head, and
promote better circulation.
16

Insect
and Other Bites
If you get bitten by a tropical insect while traveling
or even at home, then try applying this paste to the
infected area:

Antibacterial Herbal Paste

◆◆ ½ oz oregano or tea tree oil

◆◆ 4 capsules of goldenseal root powder

(broken up and poured into paste)

◆◆ 2 capsules of marshmallow root or slippery elm

(broken up and poured into paste)

1. Mix all ingredients to form a paste, then apply to the affected

area and cover it with a bandage.
To repel mosquitoes, rub lemongrass oil on your skin or eat lots of garlic!
17

Skin Rashes
When our middle son Luca was 2, he contracted
a nasty skin rash while at a cottage that lasted
nearly an entire year! I wish I had known about this
solution at that time.
For skin rashes, soak in a bath of warm water and 2–3 cups of apple
cider vinegar for 20 minutes. Then, rinse off and rub on an ointment
of chickweed, calendula, and olive oil.

Remember to avoid allergenic foods, mold, and perfumes—all of

which will make skin irritation worse.
