PARTS USED: Root.
BODILY INFLUENCES: Alma Hutchens cites Yellow Dock as, "A favorite herb of ancient Indians, old time doctors, early settlers and herbal practitioners.' Perhaps its prime function is due to its extremely rich organic iron content. Because of this, oxygen for the breath of life is combined easily with food materials for energy and to oxidize food materials and reduce them to easily eliminated ash from the depths of the cellular mitochondria (body's furnace). Yellow Dock is often recommended for prenatal cases so mother and baby can have proper oxygenation for a normal pregnancy. The rich supply of iron provides baby with enough iron to survive on a diet of breast milk for 6 months after birth without additional iron, as is expected. The solids of Yellow Dock when analyzed are up to 40% iron. This type of iron cannot be picked up by a magnet. Iron formulas often employed in the prenatal diet by "modern" doctors are straight from iron ore and can cause liver poison and black stools. Yellow Dock's iron is closely associated with the living plant processes and is easily absorbed. Modern science today will do well to recognize the relative activity rates of different types of iron rather than make false assumptions that iron filings are as good for you as Yellow Dock iron. Healthy mothers and babies speak much for the difference. Herbalists have traditionally used this mineral-rich plant for sore joints, blood from the lungs, tumors, leprosy, cancer, chronic bronchitis, diseased spleen, swollen lymph glands and as a valuable source of iron for male and female system. Rub the extract on spongy gums each evening until relief. Loose teeth are thus replaced in proper position. Use the extract for shingles by combining Yellow Dock with Burdock to make an application. Apply Vitamin E to the affected area. Then place a cotton cloth, with no dye, soaked in the extracts over the area followed by a plastic wrap and a cloth wrap to hold it all in place. (Ratio for this solution is 10 to 2.) Ten parts of water to one part of each two Docks. This may also be used on other types of skin eruptions and skin allergies.
DOSAGE: Internally 10 to 40 drops one to two times per day. During pregnancy, 10 to 40 drops three times per day.

Testimonial May 27, 2004: “I suffer with a condition called Poly Cystic Ovarian disease and was told by many doctors that I would never have children, but after four years of marriage my husband and I were surprised in February 2003 to find out I was pregnant. We were happy and scared at the same time, since I had a miscarriage the year before. I knew one thing for sure and that was that I was to go the herbal route. During my third month my medical doctors became concerned when they gave me a blood test called Alpha Protein Test which came back abnormal. The medical doctors feared that the baby would suffer with Down’s Syndrome or Spina Bifida. My blood pressure was high which was causing poor blood flow to the baby which caused the baby’s growth to be effected. I have known Dr. Watkins for over ten years and decided to call him for his suggestions. For the Down’s Syndrome he suggested I take 40-80 drops 3x/day of ACS. For the Spina Bifida he suggested using Knitbone, which is a natural folic acid and also to drink a pint of Green Drink daily. Also, I was to apply Mugwort and Wormseed on my abdomen. I needed protein so I began eating almond butter along with whole grain crackers, fish, chicken and turkey. I stayed away from refined sugar, artificial sweetener and white flour. After feeling things were going alright, I went to see my medical doctor and he discovered a fibroid tumor that was growing right along with the baby. I put another call in to Dr. Watkins and he suggested Crampbark and False Unicorn Root along with Dulse. These herbs worked wonders. In one month the fibroid tumor had dissolved. The medical doctors were amazed, but I knew that if I had not been on the herbs I would not have gotten this far. I decided to go off of the pre-natal vitamins and went totally on the Pure Herbs pre-natal program. This was what I took: PNW, Protein Extract, Vitamins A&D (capsules), Vitamin E capsules, Red Raspberry Leaf, Yellow Dock (for iron), although I changed from Yellow Dock to Flora Dex because it has about 14 vegetables in it (I got this from the health food store). I was already taking ACS and Green Drink. I ate a cup of yogurt daily for extra Vitamin B. In the last ten days of my pregnancy I took Blue Cohosh extract internally and externally I rubbed Arnica and Indian Tobacco all over my abdomen to prevent shock and complication. I also rubbed Herbal Adjustment on my ankles, feet and toes to keep down the bleeding. Unfortunately, I ended up with a C-section, but my baby was healthy and strong. Marja Soleil Quaqua was born October 24, 2003. She was 4 lbs, 7 oz, but the medical doctors said she was strong and that her lungs had developed and there were no signs of any disabilities. My daughter is now seven months, happy, healthy and crawling. Thank you Dr. Watkins and the staff at Pure Herbs, Ltd. One more thing, after having the baby, I suffered from post-partum depression so I used the combination DAN-C. It helped me in about a week. I still take it to keep calmness in my life. Thank you! Thank you!”- Farrah M Quaqua 864-963-1855

"I always wait in anticipation of my newsletters because I have learned so much from reading them. I am 80 years young, am very healthy and have lots of energy. I am also a vegetarian. Any time I have an ache or pain I study and research my books by Dr. Howard. I have been taking C.S.-W for my Mitro Valve and my Cardiologist is very pleased with the results. He keeps saying, ‗Keep on doing what you are doing.‘ Iron deficiency tends to run in the family so I take Yellow Dock with great results (it is an organic iron source). The greatest result I had this year was with my hair and my nails. My nails were very brittle and I was loosing a lot of hair even though I was taking Biotin vitamin. I studied Dr. Howard‘s books and found H.N.S.-W and I started taking it in April 2009. A few month later, during the summer, people would make remarks about how beautiful my hair looked. Just this past week I went for a perm and the hairdresser said, ‗Your hair looks so healthy and full.‘ I am not loosing hair anymore and my nails are very strong. The hairdresser asked me how to get this product because so many of her clients need it. I am very pleased with Pure Herbs! They have served me very well and have prevented me from having to take any medications at all."
