Christopher's Original Formulas BF and C Powder with Comfrey

Love been using for a while

I bought this product to help me recover after I had a surgery on my wrist. My splint wasn't that secure so I ended up having a lot of swelling and pain when I was recovering, but I couldn't put anything on it because it was inside of a cast which is why I got this product. I've used comfrey in the past externally so I knew that it's effective. Comfrey has a long track record of helping heal injuries and internal and external issues.It helped right away with pain reduction and I continued to take about a half a teaspoon everyday for about two weeks. I thought about getting veggie capsules but I just don't take it frequently enough to make it worth it. The taste is pretty gross, but it's actually quite easy to cover up the taste of this compared to some of the other herbal things I've tried.Because this is a powder, I found it difficult to mix with liquids because it likes to float and not mix evenly so it tends to clump up and stick to the sides of a cup. The solution actually ended up being much simpler than I anticipated: I just put the herbs directly into my mouth and quickly chased it with some kind of flavored beverage like grape juice. The taste of the fruit juice rapidly covered up any foulness from the herbs. But if you stick it in your mouth just don't move it around with your tongue- try to taste it as little as possible.This product ended up having a delightful side effect that I had not anticipated. I had been dealing with adrenal fatigue for some time and I had been taking all different kinds of adrenal support herbs to help get me to sleep through the night like a normal person. I hadn't taken any of those herbs for a while but once my cast came off the effects of having been taking this was that my sleep cycle had completely normalized. It perked up my adrenals and they are performing better than I can ever remember and I only ingested this for two weeks. I haven't had to have any since.It's too bad about the stupid FDA and their stupid ban. This is a great indigestible product. The only thing that made me sick after my surgery was the stupid opioids the doctors gave me- those pills gave me the worst constipation I've ever experienced. It was like s******* glass. They even have drugs on TV now that have been designed just to treat opioid induced constipation... And yet the FDA hasn't banned prescription drugs even though they are well aware that they kill people every day. Never mind the fact that there are very few documented cases of comfrey actually causing permanent damage to the liver and those cases are pretty extreme.So if you're concerned about 'research' about how this product can cause damage to your liver I honestly would just completely disregard it. Ask yourself this question: if your doctor prescribes you a powerful drug that will damage your liver or some other internal organ, would you still take it and sleep good at night? If your answer was 'yes' then you have absolutely nothing to fear from comfrey. It is far less likely to harm you and if you're exercising common sense when you use this than you would know better than the take this indefinitely anyway.

I had shoulder joint pain for over a year. I took some time off from my physically demanding job so I could rest and heal naturally. After a year I still had pain so I started using BFC formula. My shoulder healed perfectly after just 1 month of use (1/2 tsp, 3x/day)!!!Word of caution though! Long-term use is not wise. Thinking that 'more is better' because this formula worked so well, I continued to take BFC beyond my healing. I developed neck pains out of this world. Both sides of the my neck started hurting, gradually increasing in intensity, everyday...throbbing and pulsing, but I didn't attribute it to BFC at first.Neck pain got so bad, one morning I woke up and couldn't move my head without severe crippling pain. I considered what I might have been doing to bring this on myself, but came up with nothing. The only thing new I'd been doing was BFC 3 times a day.I stopped the dosing all together and after 3 days my neck pain gradually subsided and went away completely.Seems this formula is to be taken as needed only, and not for long-term maintenance needs. There's no instructions on the packaging on how to use it. I've called the Dr Christopher's home office for info, but they don't answer their phones or email, so basically I had to figure it out on my own with trial and error.Though there's little scientific research available for herbs, and mostly traditional folk use information (which is also difficult to find) I do trust the effectiveness and general low to no toxicity of most herbs, and prefer to use herbs first when I can. I also acknowledge that herbs are chemicals just like any man-made drug, hence the use of herbs may come with negative side effects form time to time. Herbs are "natural" but that does not mean they're 100% safe...especially with long-term, excessive use.

I am confident that by continue to take this product I will eventually be better. I sufer from muscle pains and joint swollen and tendons fell stuck to my muscles. Im a mess. I couldnt even walk last month due to my knees being so swelled up. Im still suffering shingles along with the muscle aches and pains. I take 1/4 tsp or 1/2 tablet size 00 3 times a day or when I feel the effects of the dose wearing off. I started out too high at 1 tsp twice a day and was in a healing crises by the second day. I was bedridden until this passed and then lowered the dose and feel much better. I can feel this pull at the bad spots in my body along with the black ointment strategicly placed around my body (not blood root salve) It pulls the gunk either to the stomach and intestines or to the area the ointment was applied. THen the spot dissipated. I have so many problem areas that I am just doing a little at a time. I will repost an update when i fell more improvement. I honestly believe thought that his is the best stuff ever to use for any health problem. I put a little in my 4 yr olds tea when he was sick and he was well the next morning. (less than 1/8 tsp). I was amazed. This stuff encourages your immune system to work as well as doing direct work on the cells itself. Its my new go to product when ever anyone in my family is ill.Great to mix in a shake or a smoothie if you do not have capsules to use. ALso great to take with cinnamon capsules can be bought anywhere; to encourage more heat and healing in the tissues.
