The spreading branches appear naked as the leafy twigs are near the ends.</div> <div> The bark is grey, thin, fibrous and thready</div> <div> The twigs are quite stout, two millimeters in diameter, clustered at the ends of the branches. They are scaly or Thready, grey or brown, the leaves mostly opposite, sometimes in whorls of three.</div> <div> The scale-like leaves are one to three millimeters long, yellowish-green, the tops often spreading, denticulate along margins to the base, usually flat or depressed elliptical gland on the abaxial node; the juvenile leaves are awl-like. They are very sham-pointed, up to five millimeters long, dicuminate at the base.</div> <div> The staminate cones are terminal, three to four millimeters long, light yellowish-brown, with eight to ten minor sporophylls. The ovulate cones are sub-globos, four to seven millimeters in diameter; the mature cone is dark blue. They are succulent when fresh and mature in one year.</div> <div> The seeds occur singly, rarely in twos. The bark is brown, and slightly less than four millimeters long.</div> <div> The plant grows on dry slopes, occasionally in pure woodland stands in northern Arizona, but more often in combination with Juniperus octosperma and Pinus edulis. It grows at elevations of 3,000 to 5,000 feet.</div> <div> <I><B>GENERAL</B></I></div> <div> For years Dr. Christopher had wondered about what could be done to clear a pancreatic malfunction. Rather than divide the blood-sugar problems into two different treatments, diabetes and hypoglycemia, Dr. Christopher considered that they both stemmed from the same problem, pancreatic malfunction, which results from either diet abuse or inherited disability--or perhaps even both. He had so many people come to him over his years of practice for help with pancreatic problems, but he was not able to really help them.</div> <div> One day a man visited him with a kidney problem; he couldn't void his urine. Dr. Christopher told him to use juniper berries to quickly clear up the case. The man was happy about that--he had juniper berries in his own back yard, and so he went home to gather some for his kidney problem.</div> <div> A few weeks later, the man came back and said, “Your juniper berries didn't do anything for me; they didn't help at all!” Dr. Christopher said that it was impossible, that juniper berries always work to clear up kidney problems. “Well, I've got some in my pocket; here they are.”</div> <div> “That's not a true juniper berry,” said Dr. Christopher. “That's a monostone Cedar berry, from a 4 Cedar tree, such as we commonly have in this area. The juniper berry has three stones and even seven stones, but the Cedar berry is a mono-stone; it's a cherry-stone type. Let me get you some juniper berries.” He brought the man some, and showed him that it was a true juniper berry; the Cedar berry is in the same family, but it's just a “kissing cousin. ~</div> <div> “Fine,” said the man, “I'll go home and take some, but I'm going to keep using the Cedar berries, too.”</div> <div> “Why bother, if they aren't going to do you any good?” asked Dr. Christopher.</div> <div> “It's an amazing thing,” said the man, “but since I've been using them, I don't have to take as much insulin.”</div> <div> Dr. Christopher asked further into the effects of the berries. He asked the man to take six berries three times a day and to report his results.</div> <div> After a few months, the man didn't have to use any insulin at all. From being a typical diabetic, dependent on insulin to monitor his blood sugar, he had to use no insulin at all.</div> <div> Dr. Christopher had long felt unhappy about the use of insulin in diabetic problems. The insulin enters the system, and the pancreas receives the message that it has to produce less and less and finally no insulin, so that the user becomes permanently dependent on it. When Dr. Christopher heard about the good effects of Cedar in the diabetic condition, he was really thrilled. He had tried Devil's Claw Bark and other herbal aids but none of them were reliable in healing the man.</div> <div>  He had another patient, shortly after this incident, who was using up to ninety units of insulin a day. He asked her if she would like to experiment with the Cedar berries. She was concerned, as she had been told that she would be using insulin throughout her life, and as she got older, she would have to increase the dosage. Dr. Christopher promised her that with the use of the Cedar berries, within a year she would be producing all her own insulin. She was to chew up six berries three times a day, or grind them up, since they are quite hard, and eat them that way. She was also to carefully watch the litmus paper, as Dr. Christopher has never asked people to just stop using the prescriptions that doctors have given them. They should go right on using them, but add the herbal remedy and watch the litmus paper, so that when they stop needing quite so much, they can taper off the insulin use. He said to follow this procedure in all cases, as with the heart: if you must use nitroglycerine, go right ahead and use it, but include the heart tonics and herbs prescribed, and soon you will find that you don't need the pharmaceutical preparations. As Dr. Christopher said, “There is no need to kick the crutches out from under you, until you are ready to walk on your own.</div> <div> Within a year, this woman was using no insulin at all. She was making her own! As long as she stayed on the mucusless diet, which she had learned to love, and took the Cedar berries, she had no problems at all with her diabetic condition.</div> <div> Since those early days experimenting with Cedar berries, Dr. Christopher found that he had to add other herbs, which work on the other glands, since the glandular system works together. The glands work cooperatively.</div> <div> He added Golden Seal, which alone will also make a little insulin, but too much of it will rob the Vitamin B out of your body. He also added Uva Ursi-or Bearberry--which is a solvent, which helps remove stones out of the system; we don't usually think of the pancreas accumulating stones, but it does. He added Cayenne, “the most potent medicine of all.” The Cayenne stimulates all the cell structures and helps the pancreas rebuild itself. He added Licorice root, which is also a laxative and demulcent and emollient, but which works on the pituitary and pineal glands. He also added Mullein herb, which helps the entire glandular system, especially the lymphatic system. All of these herbs are added in equal parts, except for the Cedar berry, which is added in sixteen parts.</div> <div> During a trip to San Francisco, a black minister came up to Dr. Christopher and just hugged him, thanking him for the Pancreas formula. He said he could preach with more enthusiasm than ever before, and had much more energy and ability to work.</div> <div> Dr. Christopher emphasized that both diabetes and hypoglycemia stem from the same problem-- a weak pancreas. One time, he was visited by a brother and sister, both in their middle years, each with pancreas problems that they had inherited as part of their family physical structure. The man had hypoglycemia, and the woman had diabetes.</div> <div> The man's hypoglycemia was so severe that the family planned to have him institutionalized. He would go into raving fits if he got hungry--the family thought they could not live with him anymore. The lady, on the other hand, was using more than ninety units of insulin a day, which she had done for years. Dr. Christopher taught them about the three-day cleanse and the mucusless diet and gave them the Pancreas formula.</div> <div> Within six months, the man took a glucose tolerance test and received a clean bill of health. The lady, in less than a year, was using no insulin at all. The same formula and the same program healed the pancreas in both cases.</div> <div> When the pancreas is healed in this manner, it can last you for life.</div> <div> <I><B>CULTIVATION, COLLECTION AND PREPARATION</B></I></div> <div> Cedar, Juniperus monosperma, grows wild in the United States, especially in the southwestern states--Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona--and some in Mexico and Canada. When you have correctly identified the species, you can gather the berries at the end of the growing season, when they are ripe. Let them dry in the sun or shade, and preserve in closed, dark containers.</div> <div> You can chew the berries, make tea of them, or grind them and take in capsules. Taken in the Panc Combination, their healing power is that much more powerful.</div> <div> Cedar berries can also be preserved in tincture or in extract form.</div> <div> <I><B>NON-MEDICINAL USES</B></I></div> <div> Cedar trunks are commonly used throughout the southwest for fence posts. The fallen, dried wood makes excellent cook fires, both quick to ignite and long-lasting. The smoke provides a delightful aroma to outdoor-cooked food.</div> <div> <I><B>CHEMICAL COMPOSITION</B></I></div> <div> The laboratory included the following analysis for Cedar berries:</div> <div> <I><B>CEDAR BERRIES</B></I></div> <div> Juniperus monosperma     (CUPRESSACEAE)</div> <div> berries</div> <div> VITAMINS AND MINERALS</div> <div> Ca     .46%</div> <div> P     .19</div> <div> K     .88</div> <div> Na     .62</div> <div> Cl     tr</div> <div> Mg     .21</div> <div> Fe     .0003</div> <div> Mn     tr</div> <div> Cu     tr</div> <div> Zn     .7 Mg/lb</div> <div> OTHER</div> <div> Juniperin     0.3 8%</div> <div> Resins     8.2</div> <div> essential oil     1.24</div> <div> juniper camphor     (m.p. 1.65-1.670C)</div> <div> lignins     7.8</div> <div> ligrine</div> <div> vol. oil (Juniper oil)     2.34%</div> <div> was     1.3%</div> <div> gums     4.7</div> <div> oxalic acid</div> <div> None of these chemicals will cause harm if taken in the whole-herb form.</div> <div> <I><B>RELATED PLANTS</B></I></div> <div> Juniperus octosperma is most commonly confused with the monosperma here used for the pancreas.
