For Sinusitis

 

Coat the inside of your nose with Mucosa Gel as often as needed to relieve congestion. The need for these applications will decrease gradually over time. Some individuals need one application of Mucosa Gel every hour for the first few days, tapering off to 2 or 3 times per day.
Eventually, you may need to use it only once every 5 days.

Apply to the inside of each nostril with a Q-tipTM. 
Circle the inside of the nostril to spread the gel around the entire opening and toward the top. It will melt quickly and coat the inside of the nose. For chronic conditions, hold one nostril and breathe in deeply through the other.

This product was developed by Dr. Walter "Buck" Campbell, and everyone who has used it to date has reported positive results.

Mucosa Gel can be obtained by contacting us.

For Dry Skin

 

Using our naturally-based Herbal Pearl Natural Skin Care once or twice each day will produce the best results.

These handcrafted all-natural soaps contain a unique blend of seven Chinese herbs to invigorate circulation, neutralize and eliminate toxins, replenish fluids and qi, nourish the blood, reduce itching and promote healing of the skin. Several beneficial oils - Coconut oil, olive oil, flaxseed oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, castor oil, neem oil, wheat germ oil - and essential oils of Sweet Orange, Clove, Ginger, Peppermint, Lemongrass and Patchouli are included in the several varieties to deliver "Natural Skin and Hair Care within a soap".

Herbal Pearl Natural Skin Care can be obtained online here or
by contacting us.

Aztec Healing Clay is beneficial for deep pore cleansing of the skin, and can be obtained at any good health food or vitamin store.

 

  1. Mix the clay in a zip-lock bag with enough water to massage into a paste.

     

  2. Cure in the refrigerator for 2 days.
    (This improves the absorption of water. Under a microscope, the granules look like tiny shells – curing allows the shells to fill up with water).

     

  3. Take about a ½ cup of the cured clay in your hand. Mix with a little more water and rub hands together until you have a nice warm paste.

     

  4. Spread a thin coat evenly over dry skin until fully covered.

     

  5. Blow-dry with a warm-air hair dryer until the clay dries.

     

  6. Wait 3 minutes.

     

  7. Rinse off as quickly as possible to avoid the skin reabsorbing what the clay has just taken out of your pores.

     

  8. Moisturize with Herbal Pearl Natural Skin Care once or twice each day.  

Comments
The small clay granules act like tiny suction cups which suck the blood to the surface of the skin. Blood circulations seem to go deeper as we age, especially in a dry environment, and the Aztec clay treatment helps to return the blood flow to the surface.

Again, Essential Fatty Acids (especially Flax Seed Oil – 6000 mg/day) help to lubricate the skin.

For Nail Fungus

  1. To help make nails receptive to Potassium Iodine, gently file down the top and end of each affected nail once every 10 days.

     

  2. Soak affected nail(s) with liquid Potassium Iodine every other day.

     

Liquid Potassium Iodine can be obtained by contacting us.

Chronic Candida Infections

 

Candida (yeast) infections can be localized in the sinuses and vagina or may be systemic (throughout the whole body). 

My experience indicates that yeast infections – local or systemic - can return over time with more vigor and be more resistant to whatever you used to treat them in the past, especially if the previous treatments were of a short-term nature.

A consistent multi-antifungal approach is therefore needed over a prolonged period of time, with treatment times for local infections lasting for 6 weeks and very chronic Serious Systemic Candida infections requiring up to two years of treatment. 

Taking antifungal herbs and remedies for Candida 
Dosages must be taken at the prescribed times. Any break in the treatment will breed a generation of Candida that is resistant to whatever herbs and remedies you are taking!  Do not forget to take your herbs and remedies with you on your trip – if you forget, you will prolong your treatment time exponentially.

The most prominent symptoms of Chronic Candida are:
         Sinusitis – can be local only and not systemic
         Chronic Fatigue
         Vaginal yeast infections – can be local only and not systemic
         Itchy skin and eyes
         Gas and bloating
         Nail Fungus

If you have some of the above symptoms along with...
         Cold hands and feet
         Chilling very easily (this frequently occurs in female flight crew members after the birth of a child)
         Thinning hair
         Thin nails
...then you may have what Dr. David Brownstein, MD refers to as Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction (or hypothyroidism that does not show up on a blood test). If you think this applies to you, please send for Dr. Brownstein's DVD on "Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It". 

If you have questions on hypothyroidism, refer to Robert Sarver's comments on Iodine Deficiency.

What they Say about Dr. Walter "Buck" Campbell:

Jeff J - May 29, 2009

 

Hi Buck,

 

I was in yesterday with the Plantar Fasciitis... foot injury. It's been over 3 years like this with only minor successes, and I just wanted to tell you how much better I feel today! No one else has had this kind of success with my injury until now!

 

Thanks for the time you spent on healing my long term pain. I feel at least 80% better than before!

 

Best Regards, Hope to see you again soon!

 

Jeff

Daisy L - October 10, 2008

 

Hi Walter,

 

Hope all is well. This note is to say thank you very, very much. I have not felt this good in a while. With only one acupuncture session, I was able to move my arm above my shoulder - after months of constant pain. I would say I feel about 75% better. I am looking forward to feeling 100%.

 

Thank you. God Bless.

 

Daisy

Doug W - Virginia - October 6, 2008

 

Dr. Campbell,

 

I talked with you down by the pool at the Sherry last Saturday night.

 

I gave away your brochure to my first officer. Would you mind sending me a few more so I could keep one and pass them out? 

I especially like the insert covering supplement suggestions for crew members.

 

Thanks again, I enjoyed talking to you.

 

Doug

Allea M - Jamaica - October 5, 2008

 

Hi Walter:

 

I can now sleep with a fan and not wake up congested. I feel much clearer, my sinuses have improved. I used to wake up congested; when it is very hot I used to suffer from sinus headaches; also when it rains.

 

I really feel much better, when the air is moist I am more aware of my sinuses but it does not sap my energy nor does it immobilize me.

 

Thank you for all that you have done so far for improving my health!

Allea

Andy S - Ohio - October 3, 2008

 

Hello Buck,

 

One of the greatest things about this MIA layover, (besides the beach, the pool and the food) was knowing that I could stop by your office and have whatever malady I was dealing with taken care of. Over the course of the last few years you have helped me with back pain, elevated blood pressure and high liver AST levels.

 

You have shared your knowledge and assistance selflessly to help my wife and others who I know that may be suffering needlessly. With a simple phrase, “Call Buck”, I can be assured that they have taken a huge step in helping themselves or their loved ones to become well.

 

The runner/triathlete from Cincinnati was very grateful to you for beginning a program to help his stress fracture heal properly. He will soon sing that same refrain, “Call Buck”, to others he meets/knows, confident that they'll be back to full speed once again.

 

Thank you,

Andy
