Ronald L. Gaines is a good role model for me and my Sisters.  I look up to him because I am proud to say that I know someone who loves to help people when they are sick and makes them well again.  I would like to help other people like Ronald is doing when I grow up.  Lots of people love him because he is a loving and caring person.  Ronald is a very cool guy once you get to know him.  He is always giving me and my two Sisters stuff and he gives my family respect and my family gives him respect.  We love him very much.

He is very skilled to help me and my family whenever we get sick, and makes us feel a lot better.

Since the first time I crossed paths with Ron, he has shared his positive view and outlook on life.  I find him to be profoundly concerned for people and how he helps them with their concerns has truly left me in awe.  I must say that I haven't met anyone like him before but I'm so glad because he helped me immensely with my medical issues.  I was told by medical doctors that I would have to take Blood Pressure medicine for the rest of my life along with hyperthyroid medication, too.  Since I met Ron, that is no longer an issue anymore and I thank God for him.  His expert knowledge and use of herbal and homeopathic medicine from all over the world has left me baffled and completely amazed.

His mastery and precision to detail of herbs and combinations and his use of them for chronic conditions is quite astonishing, and his approach is truly humble and caring.

May God's blessings rain upon you and your family like rain drops on the morning leaves.

In June 2002, I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease.  My doctor had given me two choices, either radiation treatment or surgery.  In September, 2005, I met Ron Gaines, Master Herbalist and he suggested I try one of his homeopathic remedies.  To date, all of my lab tests have come back normal.  Thank God for his supernatural way. 

The first time I met Ron Gaines, I was in the throes of a "Cold" with all the acommpanying symptoms; sneezing, coughing, stuffy nose and general misery.  Upon seeing my symptoms, he quickly made a remedy that, upon my taking, relieved all the symptoms withing 10 minutes.  I was amazed, to say the least.  Throughout the years, I have been CURED from many things, (I have lost count, heaven knows ...) from lymphoma, leukemia, TMJ pain, several cancers, oncoming strokes, heart disease and other things the medical monopoly says can't be cured/healed except through their methods.  Well, they don't "practice" medicine on me any longer because Ron Gaines has become my Herbalist.  Money spent here is money WELL SPENT, trust me.  This man has a gift from God.  Run, do not walk, to EarthMother Herbs®.

In 1997, at 35 years old, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus.  I began taking the medications prescribed by my Rheumatologist, only to experience terrible side effects with no relief in pain or symptoms.  I even found that I had difficulty concentrating. 

In 2000, I walked into EarthMother Herbs® and I discovered that indeed I had other options.  The homeopathic, herbal supplements, changes in my diet and physical lifestyle changes that I incorporated made a significant improvement in my health in a relatively short period of time.

I cannot believe how simple and relatively easy it has been for me to regain my health.  I would encourage everyone to become more proactive in their fight to regain their health and to seek the help and professional counsel from professional Natural Healers like Ron L. Gaines.  I have been symptom free for the last 5 years.  There really are other alternatives to traditional sources, without the crazy side effects.

The first year of kindergarten, my Granddaughter had trouble keeping up with the other children in her classroom.  Her teacher suggested that she attend Special Education Class.  Ron Gaines of EarthMother Herbs® recommended one of his remedies and Flower Essence combinations, now my Granddaughter is doing so well that both her teacher and the Principal were very surprised at how much she accomplished in such a short time.

I want to thank Ronald Gaines for his excellent services.  I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 1977.  Ronald again recommended one of his remedies and thanks to Ronald Gaines, I am no longer diabetic.

I believe it was the Summer of 1997 that a colleague brought me to your office, after I became ill during an education conference.  I recall you giving me an herbal remedy to take as soon as I got it prepared at home.  Per your instruction, I returned in 2 days, only to receive from you a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual profile.  It was truly the most comprehensive evaluation I had ever received in my life.  From that moment on, our professional relationship has grown into a mutual and respectful friendship.

Your ability to identify and provide immediate remedies for ailments is beyond phenomenal.  I believe your gift is from God.  The blessing for me is that you recognize this as well, and give Him all the glory in your thoughts, words and deeds.  I further believe that your spiritual grounding is the foundation for your success as a Master Herbalist.

As a direct result of being a healthier person, being your client, I have attained my 1st and 2nd level certifications as a Holistic Therapist.  In January, I was accepted into Trinity College in pursuit of my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine and Ministry.  My goal is to impart the same measure of Holistic Therapy to my clients, as you have imparted to me as your client.

In comparison to other practitioners I have been introduced to, I am able to say without reservation you are in truth and fact the most thorough and thoughtful of them all.  Thank you for setting the mark high for those that follow to reach for.

In closing, your products are fresh, pure and formulated empirically.  Your remedies are the result of your intense investigation of all factors pertaining to your clients, including the layers of symptoms that lead to the root of each illness and or need.  Your treatments, general and individual stem from your innate intelligence, desire and willingness to serve God's greatest creations ... Man and Earth.

While visiting Cairo, Egypt, I started experiencing excruciating pain (I was four months pregnant at the time).  I went to the local emergency room and received an ultrasound.  The doctor there diagnosed me as having gallstones.  She also showed me an ultrasound of my baby as well as the gallstone.  She informed me that I would have to have surgery to remove the gallstones. 

I called my Mother in America who notified Ron L. Gaines about my condition and he confirmed the diagnosis (we hadn't told him at the time).  He sent me homeopathic pills by Federal Express which arrived in 2 days to Cairo, Egypt.  I took the pills as directed and had no more pain. 

The next time I went for an examination on the condition of the gallstones, they were completely gone!  I was shocked and even the doctor couldn't believe it — we both agreed that it was a miracle from God.  Yes, Ron L. Gaines is truly a miracle worker and a blessing from God.  I am truly blessed to know him and his practice and that I didn't have to have surgery because he cured me.  I am eternally grateful.

Dear Ron Gaines-El:

I am writing this letter to you to express my thanks and also to let you know how much your herbal formulas have helped me.  I have taken your JOINT ASSIST™, which greatly helps me get rid of joint pain and stiffness, but it is primarily your OPTI-SIGHT™ formula that I am writing to tell you about.

About seven months ago I noticed that I could not see out of my left eye.  I was rubbing my right eye, which was itching, and realized that I could not see out of my left eye.  I went to an Ophthalmologist who told me that I had the worse cataract he has ever seen in my left eye, and a small one in my right eye.  He gave me the papers to get a pre-surgery exam.

After reading the "Informed Consent ... " form (I have enclosed a copy for you to see) I realized this is not the minor surgery that I once thought it was ... It had such phrases as
" ... anesthesia involves the possibility of the loss of life or permanent disability ..."; " ... no guarantee or assurance has been made as to the results that may be obtained ..."; " ... the risks involved and the possibility of complications including, but not limited to infection, hemorrhage, non-healing, blindness or loss of eye ...".

Yikes!  I was between a rock and a hard place.  I did not want surgery, nor did I want to lose my eyesight.  I was in a quandary about what to do until I decided to see if you could help me.  I began taking your OPTI-SIGHT™ formula and my eyes began to gradually clear up.  Even though I did not take it as exactly as I should, but I would take it daily, at least once to three times.

I say eyes because my other eye that had a slight cataract was clearing up also.  Then I added your XENOCOR™ formula and your HERBAL VITAMIN-A™ formula to my regimen.  I have been taking them for just three days, as directed on the bottle, and low-and-behold when I covered my right eye and looked at the label I could read the larger print, without glasses, with my eye that the doctor said had the worst cataract he had ever seen.

I was so happy I began to cry tears of joy as I thanked the Creator for you, and thank you for the work you do.  I am so glad I had the courage and the patience to go the Herbal medicine route.  It may take a while but it is far better than the other choice I was faced with.  I will continue with the herbs to improve even more.

October 2004 I was diagnosed with Breast cancer.  My doctors said, "None of your lymph glands are infected and that if it were not for the size of the cancer, we would not have to give you chemotherapy."  I was devastated, scared, confused and in a rush to get the cancer removed.  My thoughts were racing, for example, "What if I die?"  "What's going to happen to my daughter?"  "No one will take care of my daughter like I would!"  Well, my doctor did say the cancer did not reach my lymph nodes.  This means my chances of survival were good, right?

I wound up getting my breast removed and I received chemotherapy for seven months.  Every time I was injected with the chemo, I felt as if I had swallowed a gallon of gasoline.  Some of my side effects were bleeding gums, fatigue, numbness in the extremities, swollen legs — my fingernails and toenails had turned a blackish color, and sometimes it was hard to breathe.  I felt like the chemo was decaying my bones, my age at the time was Thirty-three, but I felt like a Ninety-nine year old.

My chemotherapy treatment ended July 7, 2005.  I was then scheduled for a CAT and bone scan in August 2005.  August 28, 2005, my Oncologist told me that the cancer had spread to the spine, ribs, sternum and lungs.  In addition, I transferred to another hospital for better treatment and care.  I asked my new Oncologist if he could cure me and if not, how long would I live?  He said, "No, I cannot cure you, but I believe I can prolong your life with chemotherapy and based on the statistics, some cancer patients with your type of disease have lived up to six months to a year."  I decided not to take any more chemotherapy because it is too painful and it would never cure me.

A friend of mine had heard about an Herbalist who cured people who had terminal diseases.  My mind was open and I was willing to give myself one last chance.  I called EarthMother Herbs® and spoke to  Mr. Gaines, the Herbalist and made an appointment.  Approximately September 09, 2005, I met with Mr. Gaines in his office.  Mr. Gaines was thorough; he did his own research and found cancer in other parts of my body that the doctors did not find.

I was treated with herbs aggressively for seven weeks.  I faithfully took the herbs as prescribed.

There were no side-effects, I could walk better, breathe better, and the aches in my bones gradually went away.  Also, I could actually contact him if I had any questions or concerns.

November 01, 2005 I was scheduled for another CAT and bone scan.  A week later after having both scans done, my Oncologist notified me by phone.  He said, "I need to see you right away."  I went to his office with my Aunt Paulette that same day.  When I went to the Receptionist's desk and told them my name, she and the other Receptionist just stared at me.  Before I could take a seat, the Nurse told me to follow her.  As I was getting weighed and getting blood drawn, I heard plenty of whispers from the medical staff.  I knew I was about to hear some good news.

When I met with the Doctor, he said, "We found no evidence of cancer on the CAT scan or the bone scan."  He went on to say that he had double-checked my films and had other colleagues take a look at them and they all agreed that the scans showed no evidence of cancer.  Thanks to Mr. Gaines' knowledge and wisdom, I am cancer free.  Mr. Gaines, you are truly a Black diamond.

"I would have truly been dead ..."

My Blood sugar went as high as 450 when I was going to a medical doctor who could never get my sugar below 300.  I took the Doctor's prescription for one year but there was little change.  I searched out different Herbalists and natural products all over Philadelphia before I found EarthMother Herbs®.

I came to EarthMother Herbs® and used Ron Gaines' product, Glucophyte™, and my blood sugar levels went to 125 after two weeks!  I've been to a lot of Herbalists all over the city and used a lot of products, but the product Glucophyte™ was the only product I used that actually worked.

I thank the Ancestors for allowing EarthMother Herbs® to be in our community.  We have a gem in our midst and some of us do not even know.  EarthMother Herbs® is so vital to so many that enter the doors.  I am one who utilizes EarthMother Herbs® whenever there is a concern that needs to be resolved.  I must say that there is no other holistic Herb store that will educate you and give you a quick course on staying healthy — mentally, physically, and spiritually aware.

Ron Gaines is before his time.  His vision of what good health can be and his creative talents are always helping people to sustain and maintain a healthy and better way to live.

There are so many wonderful jewels in EarthMother Herbs® store.  Whatever ails the body, EarthMother Herbs® has the remedy for you.  Teas, Homeopathic remedies, for the different systems that cleanse the body and mind and also dietary remedies to maintain normal body weight, like Belly Burner™ that reduces your stomach and intake of foods that make your belly fat.

What am I saying?  Patronize EarthMother Herbs®! Our wellness depends on the mind behind the curing and the love that the practitioner gives.  Nothing invasive, nothing that will make you sick, only correct the problem.

Ron, I thank you again and again for being in the profession of holistic health and your devotion to your people and all the people that come into your store. 

Since I've been going to EarthMother Herbs®, I reversed the Hepatitis-C that the Philadelphia Veteran's Hospital diagnosed me with having.  Mr. Gaines made a custom homeopathic remedy and recommended his product Hepatin™ which the VA Hospital confirmed that the Hepatitis-C was no longer there.

I was also able to achieve better circulation, more stamina and was assisted in ridding myself of tonsilitis that Mr. Gaines found after just one visit.  

I pass by many herbs stores just to get to EarthMother Herbs®, and recommended him to my family in Colorado as well as my friends and family in Philadelphia.

I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for the treatment you gave me for my back pain.  I am working as a carpenter in remodeling and improvement on residential and commercial buildings.  This is very physical work and with your help, I have been able to work to my best potential.

I do not have the words to express how much I appreciate the treatments and education on the way the body works and how a person can improve their health and also avoid further injury by following simple common sense practices.

I hope this letter is a small way to say thank you again.  I really would not be doing the work that I like so much if not for your professionalism and compassion. 

I train amateur and professional Boxers and I recommend Hawthorn-Motherwort™, Body Sculpt™ and Cayenne Plus™ to my trainees.  Ron Gaines has helped my fighters in both body and mind. Ron has helped my fighter's boxing ability in the ring with his system to enhance their "Warrior mindset", which he calls Kotoko, a little known African martial art fighting system used by the Ashanti Warriors of Ghana.

After Ron's program, one of my fighters twice knocked out his opponent in fifty-eight seconds of the first round.  After the second knock-out, the ringside Doctor was brought in along with oxygen to revive my fighters' opponent!  EarthMother Herbs® is my first choice for herbs.  I only go to other herb stores for items EarthMother Herbs® doesn't carry.

I went to Ron for some mild congestion I was going through.  After checking me, he recommended Emphatone™ but happened to be out of it at the time (high demand during this cold and flu season).  I couldn't come back to the store because of my hectic work schedule, so I decided to take two of his other products I happened to have home at the time, Respirin™ and Pleura Clear™.  I figured that something was better than nothing, so I gave them a try.  Over the next few days, I continued to bring up heavy mucus by blowing my nose, and coughing that was obviously clearing my lungs by expelling phlegm at an astonishing rate.  I stuck through it because I know Ron always says, "Better OUT than IN!"  After about five days, I thought the yellow-green garbage would never stop!

The next morning, I woke up to a really clogged nose.  In the dark, I blew my nose and noticed (by the moonlight shining in the room) that the tissue was filled with a dark matter.  I ran to the bathroom and turned on the light — it was blood in my tissue.  I was about to call Ron (at 5:00 in the morning!!!), when I looked closer, I noticed a very large piece of flesh on the tissue (maybe about a centimeter long and several millimeters wide).  It looked like a miniature piece of liver that had come out my nose.  I blew my nose again and to my surprise, another smaller piece dislodged and several tiny pieces were both on my tissue.  And then it hit me — as I was looking at the gunk on the tissue, I could breathe out of BOTH of my nostrils.  I stood in the bathroom for several minutes enjoying what seemed like fully functioning nasal passageways!  I believe that the Respirin™ and Pleura Clear™ helped remove the nasal polyps I must have had all my life.  I do not recall one time breathing as easily and clearly out of BOTH nostrils in my life — ever.

I also noticed something else ... all the crazy congestion, sniffling, blowing nonsense stopped then and there as well.  I had only one occasion to blow my nose the next day and the day after that, and two small pieces of these polyps were coming out with a little congested blood.  Almost like my body wanted me to get those pieces out, so it gave me the urge to blow to remove them.

Here I sit at work, covering one nostril and breathing, and then doing the other one!  (My co-workers must think I'm a nut ...)  I'm noticing a side benefit of going to EarthMother Herbs®:  secondary issues get healed up as well even without your working on them directly.  His second — and third-choice recommendations for his products heal you faster than some of these other "Healers'" TOP recommendations!!!  I can't say that for these doctors and so-called Herbalists in the Philly area because to me, they are just full of hot air.  I don't go to them anymore.  Only one Master Herbalist has helped me to really breathe again — Ron Gaines-El at EarthMother Herbs®.

I have suffered from alopecia since my early thirty's and I am now in my fifty's.  I've tried many treatments for my hair over the years and I was beginning to think that my condition was permanent until I came across Ms. Cindy's Hairway Pomade™ and EarthMother Herbs® Hairway™ capsules.  After using your products only for a couple of days, I saw a marked difference in the growth of my hair around my temples.  I have been using your products for about two months now and I love the results that I can see with my own eyes.  My Granddaughter even commented on the thickness and growth of my hair where there was no hair before.  Many thanks to you, Mr. Gaines, for rescuing me from alopecia.  I know that you truly care for your community because any product you manufacture could very well make you a millionaire, yet your commitment to the Natural Health field is genuine and unshakable.

While visiting my old neighborhood, I chanced on finding EarthMother Herbs®.  I met Brother Ron and started asking him questions about natural healing and what he does.  After explaining to me his philosophy,  I was excited about him testing me.  I was able to return to the store in about one week and he already had completed all the results of the tests he had found.  They were long-standing and I was completely unaware of them being there at all.  Over the years, and with as many physicals I had, not one doctor ever mentioned the STD's Brother Ron found.  I knew that Brother Ron was being truthful because he even told me the exact percentages of each disorder, something I had never heard before.

He also found and reversed hepatitis-C, sickle cell anemia and other disorders to name a few.  

Brother Ron gave me homeopathics that he made especially for my conditions to counter the various ailments he had found.  Some of the things he found were giving me discomfort, so I knew that I was getting better by how well I was feeling.  Brother Ron's manner was so precise and compassionate that I had my daughters, granddaughters and close friends go to him as well.

Over the years, I've returned to EarthMother Herbs® to be healed of depression, spleen cancer, and sciatica that was so painful that I had to use a cane.  After one week, I was able to go dancing without any pain or discomfort!  

For most of the conditions Brother Ron helped me with, I was given only one small vial of tablets, not a half-dozen or more like some herb stores in the city.  Thanks to Brother Ron and his mastery of natural healing, I didn't doubt that I could get better.  I made the necessary life style changes in order to fully recover and I never once felt that I was being preached to or looked down on. 

It's a pleasure to speak about a formula that is so essential to my health.  Your Herbal HGH Assist™ revitalizes me, rebuilds, and restores so many of the vital energies I had lost growing from youth to my adult, golden years.  I have so much vitality, my memory is more clearer now than ever before.  I am doing things that used to be such a task for me to do.  I feel like a gateway is opening for me to explore and redefine myself.  I used to be sluggish and cranky and unwilling to participate in events or outings that were once dear to my heart. 

My complexion has become so youthful looking, my nails are growing beautifully (I never had fingernails, unless I was pregnant) ... well, I'm not pregnant, I have hard nails now, attractive nails!

I used to have aches and pains getting up or sitting too long, now I bounce up.  Sometimes, I have to say to myself, "Girl, you have sure changed!"  That's all good!

I recall mentioning to Ron that my kitten was sneezing uncontrollably, lethargic and had no appetite.  Ron just looked at me, smiled and said, "Your cat will be fine, just give me a fur sample."  After getting him a bit of her fur, he called me the next day and said that my kitten had hay fever -- I didn't know that cats could get hay fever!  Ron also told me that my kitten had TB and Addison's Disease.  I had to look up those things because I didn't know much about them.  He was right, the breed of cat I have is prone to Addison's Disease.  I don't know how he knew!

I returned to EarthMother Herbs® and Ron had the medicine for my kitten already prepared.  I gave it to her just as Ron suggested that evening and by the morning, her sneezing fits were almost gone, she had eaten her food completely and was zipping around the house like a kitten should!  

I had returned to EarthMother Herbs® after about a month and Ron asked me how my kitten was doing.  I told him that she was just fine, like he had said she would be.  He just smiled again and said that he had made some vitamins for cats called, Kitty Vites™ named after my cat, Kitty.  I purchased a bottle and Kitty has been taking just one per day as the bottle directs and her fur has become as smooth as silk, her energy is fantastic and she is more alert ... she looks like a show cat!  Thank you Ron for saving my cat.

I came to you for some problems that were going on in my body. You may not remember me but you found that my lymph fluid was under-functioning, I had emphysema and a host of female problems just to mention a few.  You really helped me a lot -- your herbs really work.  My body was feeling so much better in no time, plus the herbs took care of my other problems.

Some time after visiting EarthMother Herbs®, I had some extreme pain near my right pelvis that woke me up at night.  I went to the Emergency room at Presbyterian hospital and they performed tests on me all night long.  They couldn't find why I had a discharge and assumed it was coming from what they thought were uterine fibroids, but I knew that you had already resolved the fibroid problem, so I was confident that whatever it was, Presbyterian hospital couldn't find it.

I called you after I was discharged from the hospital and you asked me to come to your office because you suspected that I had appendicitis.  I returned to your office and after confirming your suspicion, you found that I really did have a ruptured appendix, which was causing the excess fluid drain.  

You were able to tell me over the phone something the hospital couldn't find at all. You gave me some pills and I took one in your office and went home.  You called me the next morning to see how I was doing and I was glad to report that there was no more pain and the leaking had stopped. I suggest to all my friends and relatives that they should go to EarthMother Herbs® and they will be fine. 

I have to tell you that your product, Nana Bosomtwi's Tonic™ really works!  I called you on the phone to explain my problem and you suggested that formula.  I told you that I had been diagnosed at Temple University Hospital with three tumors in my left breast. 

I already had surgery performed on my breast on November of 2007, and the doctors told me that afterwards, I would have to get both radiation and chemotherapy to complete the treatment, as the tumors were still there.  I didn't want the side-effects like nausea and hair loss (because a woman's hair is her glory ...).

I started using your formula on March 2008. I had three bottles of your formula and took them as directed; two capsules per day.  On the 17th of September, (my birthday) my doctor told me that the three tumors in my left breast were gone!  I wanted to kiss the Nurse and Doctor when they told me and I praised God.  My family and Church members all tell me how healthful I look and I witness to everyone about what you did for me.

My name is Brother Sentwaki Ngozi.  I used to distribute the Garvey's Voice newspaper to you and you always generously supported and sold the paper (and always offered me a natural soda or juice also).

I have read your articles on herbs and dis-ease in the Black Star newspaper and I just wanted to tell you that you are a wonderful Afrikan.  Please accept this donation as a token of appreciation and support to a positive role model that's promoting healing and a return to balance in our community.  You also inspire us by showing our community that we can establish our own businesses and institutions.  Again, thank you for being such a positive force.

I came into your store and two customers were already talking about Body Sculpt™.  My cousin had already used it and told me about it, so I was really anxious to see what it could do for me.  I used Body Sculpt™ for about one month and I have been getting so many compliments on how fit, toned and healthy I look.

I had been working out in a gym for some time before and never got that many compliments on how I looked -- some people didn't even recognize me because I'm now so fit looking. I actually exercise less now and get much better results!
