A little about Renee Waters, owner of the Country Doctor, since 1984.
Renee started her health adventure in 1980 when she began reading all of Paul Braggs books, she decided at age 19 that she wanted to be a Health Science Doctor. She tucked that thought back in her mind and knew someday that if God wanted her to be in a healing ministry that he would make it possible. Soon health conscious people began coming into Renee’s path and she was soon on the road to studying health and nutrition.
She began with the Art of Reflexology-her first love. Renee is able to provide acupressure to the feet and tell what organs or glands are sluggish and tense. Renee then looks at the eyes as a form of map to see what your inherited weaknesses are. Renee is able to see other body signs that reveal much about your health also like Tongue and nail assessment and facial analysis.
Renee really thinks that a program of bodywork, good nutrition, water, and supplements really round up a healthy program of health for her clients. Renee sees a lot of emotionally stressed out individuals and because of her background and experience in Emotional and Trauma Healing, Renee is able to provide much help and support for these individuals.
Renee has been creating a Workshop ”Artistic Creations” where she will address Healing Meditation, Intuitive Design, Creative Writing, Color Therapy, and Herbal Medicine. Renee feels that there is more to healing then just taking supplements. Renee believes that our goal is to become whole in mind, body and in spirit and that takes a bag of tricks to work out that goal.
If you are interested in Renee’s curriculum vitae, please go to www.countrydoctordetox.com and click on ABOUT US to see a page of degrees and diploma’s that Renee has to her name.
Renee feels that a good attitude and determination is essential in getting well. You must have a goal and you must believe that you will be well, and then you must put in the effort to become well. Hippocrates-The father of Medicine used Naturopathic medicine to assist his patients in becoming well. Things like drinking pure water, Sunshine, whole foods diet, exercise, herbal supplements and teas, Bodywork, fresh air and a clean environment. We must get away from the fast food and all the chemicals and go back to making foods from scratch and planting more of our foods and eating what is in our gardens.
I offer many different kinds of Body treatments. Castor oil compress, Hot Mustard Plaster, onion and garlic poultices etc. I blend essential oils to make household sprays, massage blends, facial treatments, colognes etc. I blend herbs to make extracts, decoctions, infusions, fomentations, bolus’, suppositories pessaries, poultices, compresses etc.
I am aware of how to grow and harvest many herbals, flowers and vegetables and bring them to the table to make delicious healthy meals.
I offer many cleansing formulas that assist and flush the colon, liver, kidneys and lymph. I offer many body therapies that relieve stress and tension, promote healing and pain reduction including craniosacral therapy and healing touch energy work.
I believe in prayer as a vital part of healing and use it often. I believe I am the vessel that God’s healing energy works in and through. If you like any or all of these things and would like to try some of these therapies please schedule an appointment with me by calling 920 922-8950.

Recipes from the Country doctor since 1984
Recipes From The Country Doctor
Recipe Feet Heat
This recipe is easy… when participating in cold winter outdoor activities, try putting on a pair of thin inner socks, and then a pair of thicker outer socks in which you’ve shaken a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Guaranteed to warm your sole.
Mustard plaster
A mustard pack, or plaster, is a well known folk remedy used for hundreds of years. It is excellent for aches, sprains, and eliminating mucus from the lungs. Mustard plasters are usually placed on the chest to draw out mucus congestion, dispel coldness, relieve asthma, eliminate coughs and heal colds and flu. They can also be put on other places to treat body and joint aches and pains and heal watery, oozing and chronic sores and boils.
Mustard Plaster Recipe Garlic & Onion Plaster
4 tablespoons flour puree garlic and onions with olive oil
2 tablespoons dry mustard follow same directions as the mustard plaster
Water (lukewarm)
SUN TEA
For 1 gallon. Fill clear gallon jar with distilled water, add 1 cup herb mixture of your choice (or 12 tea bags), sit in sunshine for 4-6 hours, strain. ( if you want to sweeten the tea, try using ¾ gallon water, steep and strain then add 1 quart organic apple juice.
Renee’s Vinegarette Dressing
½ c chopped garlic, ½ of chopped horseradish. Finely chop the vegetables, pack into a jar, fill with half water and half organic apple cider vinegar, agitate daily for 14 days, strain, filter and bottle. Note: I blend the remaining garlic and Horseradish and make horseradish sauce.
Super Easy cough syrup
Put the lemon into a quart of cold water and bring to a simmer for 20 minutes. Put the lemon into a bowl, (use tongs, it’s hot!) and cut in half. Spoon out the lemon, inner rind and all, then blend with ½ c honey for a quick and tasty cough syrup.
Pessary – A Pessary is a vaginal suppository. The following recipe is antiseptic and very soothing for the vaginal wall. ¼ ounce Goldenseal, ¼ ounce slippery elm powder, ¾ oz. cocoa butter. Melt the cocoa butter in a saucepan, stir in the herbs until the mixture stiffens and can be worked into small cylinders approximately ¼ inch in diameter and 1 inch long. Lay on plate, cover with paper towel, refrig until harden. The pessary will melt and disperse its ingredients in the vagina over a period of hours. It is wise to use a pad to prevent stains on clothing.
BUG REPELLANT OIL
The principle herbs which repel insects are citronella, Pennyroyal, Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Rue and Lavender. Add one or a combination of these oils to create a formula that is three parts olive or almond oil to one part essential oil.
TANNING OIL
To make a tanning oil that has no sun block, combine 1 ounce melted cocoa butter, 2 ounces coconut oil, 1 ounce sesame oil and 500 units vitamin E oil. If you want sun block, add zinc oxide or PABA (check safety research on these substances first)

SMELLY FEET? —CLAY POULTICE
Clay has been used to draw out toxins and foreign substances, heal burns and repair damaged tissue. Its virtues are endless and deserve study. Mix the clay with enough water to make a thick paste, spread with the spoon onto center of diaper in an area approx 6”x8” and 1“ thick. Apply the clay directly to the area to be treated, pressing it until the clay pulls away on its own accord, indicating that the therapy is completed. For more information on clay, please read The Healing Clay by Michel Abehsera.
Eye Wash Formula
The eye wash is for tired, strained eyes. It cleanses the tear ducts and stimulates circulation, which contributes to its fame as a vision restorative. Use 1 capsule of Nature Sunshine EW and 1 cup distilled water, boil water and add the EW, strain, let cool. Use glass eye cup to rinse eyes.

Vegan Potassium Broth
ARTICLE: What to do if you are pregnant and get the flu
by Jo Franck’s, MH
Renee Waters ND
We are getting a lot of calls about this topic - what to do if you're pregnant and get sick with the flu. Drug companies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others are targeting pregnant women and children for the swine flu shot.
Some people would rather avoid the flu shot and want to know what is safe and effective for the flu when pregnant. What I see happening is that pregnant women are hesitant to take anything because of the warnings on products and from doctors that virtually nothing is safe to take during pregnancy (So why would they give a swine flu shot that hasn't had sufficient testing to a pregnant woman?).
Of course, prevention is the key, but when you feel like something is coming on Echinacea can be taken in dosages of 2 capsules or 1-2 dipperfuls every hour. Nip it in the bud before it gets bad. Garlic and cayenne can be taken during pregnancy. Garlic is the number one herb for flu. It can be eaten raw, blended in juice, mixed with honey and cayenne or taken in capsules. 6 cloves of garlic is the daily recommended dosage.
We encourage women to drink red raspberry leaf tea all through their pregnancy to help the baby and for an easy delivery. We also recommend red raspberry leaf tea to be consumed in large quantities if a person is sick or around sick people. We don't encourage fasting during pregnancy, but do eliminate processed foods, dairy, meat, and sweets.
Eat whole foods like fresh juice, fresh fruits and vegetables and potassium broth (see recipe below). Sweat baths are not recommended, but a foot soak in ginger tea is helpful while drinking red raspberry leaf tea or peppermint or calendula or a mixture of all three.
We don't recommend enemas or harsh laxatives or emmenagogue herbs during pregnancy. Prune juice would be better to use than a laxative to help the bowels eliminate. Plenty of rest is a must!
Some formulas that would be okay to use during pregnancy would be Nature’s Sunshine Immune Formula, AL-J and the Lung and Bronchial Formula. Some individual herbs that are fine to use during pregnancy are red raspberry leaf, yarrow, elder berries, Echinacea, garlic, rose hips, ginger, plantain, cayenne and cloves. Go to www.mynsp.com/thecountrydoctor to order at wholesale.
Definition:
Emmenagogues are herbs which stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area and uterus; some stimulate menstruation. Women have used plants such as mugwort, parsley and ginger to prevent or terminate early pregnancy.
RECIPE: Vegan Potassium Broth
From SparkRecipes.com
This is the best thing for your body, if you are fighting a cold or the flu. It's loaded with natural vitamins and minerals which are proven to help flush out bacteria, toxins and viruses. Make sure all the ingredients are organic and the water is distilled. There's no sense making a broth filled with insecticides, hormones, chlorine and toxins if you're trying to help your body flush such things out.
INGREDIENTS
• 3 organic beets
• 4 medium organic carrots
• 4 cloves organic garlic
• 2 large organic onions
• 5 stalks organic celery
• 3 medium organic potatoes
• 1 bunch organic fresh spinach
• Dash of ground Cumin
• Dash of celery salt
• Dash of ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Wash all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Peel potatoes and carrots, ONLY USE THE PEELS. Store the rest of the peeled vegetables for future use in another recipe (you can bake them in the oven with some olive oil while the broth is cooking and store to eat when you get better).
3. Cop onions and beets into four quarters each - do not peel beets.
4. Peel garlic and use whole.
5. Cut bottom ends off spinach and use whole.
6. Chop celery and jalapeno pepper.
7. Put all ingredients in a large pot and cover them with distilled water.
8. Heat on lowest setting for 3-4 hours.
9. Strain vegetables and discard them.
10. Strain until only broth is left.
11. Add Cumin, celery salt and black pepper to the broth for taste.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE:
Drink 2 cups at a time throughout the day. Repeat everyday till broth is gone or until your cold or flu is gone.
I suggest that you drink lots and lots of distilled water and drink lots and lots of FRESH, not juice from concentrate and avoiding all solid foods. Juice and this potassium broth will provide all the nutrients you need. Solid food takes a lot of energy out of your body because it needs to be digested, assimilated and excreted. This energy is better used by your body to fight off the bacteria and viruses and cleanse itself.
Number of Servings: 12
