Wild Medicinal Herbs: Safe & Effective Natural Treatment

Lou Lou, Yahoo! Contributor Network Feb 26, 2009 "Share your voice on Yahoo! websites. Start Here." More: Herbalife Medicinal Herbs tweet Print Flag Herbs are a family of plants used for many things, including medicine. You can grow them on your own, from seed, or pick up a plant at your local nursery. Look into the myriad of uses for wild medicinal herbs before turning to conventional medicine. Wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) The leaves of the wild bergamot plant are used as a carminative and stimulant. Wild black cherry (Prunus serotina) The bark of wild black cherry trees is used as an astringent, pectoral, sedative, and stimulant. Wild carrot (Daucus carota) Oil from the dried seed and root of a carrot is used as a medicinal herb for edema, gas, and worms. It is also used as a nutritional and vitamin supplement and stimulant. It may also protect the heart and liver. Wild cherry (Prunus virginiana) The bark of the while cherry tree is used for asthma, bronchitis, cough, fever, hypertension, and mucosal inflammation with discharge, as well as an expectorant. Wild chicory (Chicorium intybus) The plant of root of the wild chicory plant is used for blood cleansing, cardiac disease, jaundice, liver disorders, promoting expectoration, and removal of calcium deposits. Wild clover (Trifolium pratense) The flowers of the red clover plant are used for blood cleansing, bronchitis, cancer, clearing toxins, nervous disorders, and spasms. Wild daisy (Bells perennis) Flowers of the wild daisy plant can be used as an analgesic, antispasmodic, demulcent, digestive, expectorant, laxative, and purgative. Wild ginger (Asarum canadense) The root of the wild ginger plant can be used as a carminative, diaphoretic, expectorant, and irritant. It is sometimes used as a substitute for ginger. Wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria) The indigo plant can be a useful antiseptic, astringent, emetic, purgative, and stimulant. Wild lemon (Mandragora officinarium; Podophyllum peltatum) The root and resin of the moondrake plant is used for cancer, condylomata, constipation, fever, indigestion, liver disorders, lower bowel disorders, warts, and worms. This herb is not safe for pregnant women or children. Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) The leaves, flowers, and seeds of the wild lettuce plant are useful for asthma, bronchitis, chronic pain, circulatory disorders, cramps, laryngitis, nervous disorders, stimulating lactation, swollen glands, and urinary tract infections. Wild marjoram (Majorana hortensis; Origanum vulgare) The marjoram plant is great for abdominal cramps, colic, headache, indigestion, respiratory problems, and violent cough. Wild tobacco (Lobelia inflata)

The plant tincture of the lobelia plant is used for arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, colds, cough, ear infections, epilepsy, fever, food poisoning, lockjaw, nervousness, pain, pneumonia, preventing miscarriage, whooping cough, and worms. So the most important agent or element in sickle cell and iron deficiency anemia is IRON and natural sources include PARSLEY, SPINACH, GREENS (collards and mustard), WATERCRESS, BURDOCK, CHARD and KALE. These foods are also green so not only will you obtain iron, but you will also obtain CHLOROPHYLL. It is best to juice the above green foods (vegetables) or to eat them steamed (for seven minutes or less). The greatest way to obtain optimal and maximum amounts of iron phosphate is via herbs. There is no food or plant higher or richer in iron than YELLOW DOCK ROOT. This herb is par excellence for all iron deficiency disorders and is a great cleanser of the blood and lymph fluids. DANDELION ROOT and BURDOCK ROOT are the next best herbs rich in iron and excellent for iron deficiency disorders. Other herbs that are great and rich sources of natural iron include: NETTLE LEAF, MULLEIN LEAF, DEVIL'S CLAW, IRON WEED, BLUE COHOSH ROOT, ECHINACEA, RED RASPBERRY LEAF, FENUGREEK, THYME, WHITE OAK BARK and YERBA MATE. The herb RED CLOVER is a great blood builder and nutritive and is also highly recommended by myself. STRAWBERRY LEAF, CHAPPARAL, CHICKWEED, MANJISTHA, CAYENNE, ELDER BERRIES, CERASEE and OREGON GRAPE are excellent blood purifiers. Seaweeds are also great sources of natural iron. IRISH MOSS, DULSE, KELP, SPIRULINA, CHLORELLA and BLUE GREEN ALGAE are just a few of the seaweeds that can be commonly found and consumed. Seaweeds are the greatest food you can eat and are the most oxygenating plants on the planet and greatly increase and enhance oxygen throughout the body. But by all means, the best seaweed you can consume is BLUE GREEN ALGAE. Foods with the blue-green combination are imperative for consumption by Black people. UNSULPURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES provides a moderate amount of iron. A teaspoon can be taken daily (especially for menstruating women and girls). Avoid all molasses (and other products/foods) containing sulphur by all means. Sulphuring agents are poisonous and dangerous! Fruits that provide good and moderate amounts of iron include: BLACK CURRANTS, GRAPES, CHERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, ELDER BERRIES, BLUE BERRIES, LYCII (WOLF) BERRIES, BLACK BERRIES, PUMPKIN and LIMES. ALFALFA (herb or sprouts) is laced with organic iron. Most commercial brands of chlorophyll are made from Alfalfa. So drink plenty of chlorophyll (adding it to your water). BARLEY GRASS and WHEAT GRASS (2-4 ounces daily) also provide essential iron (and other minerals and nutrients) and are also great sources of chlorophyll. Foods rich in THIOCYANATE include: WHITE YAM, PLANTAIN, BANANA, PULSE (all legumes), BUTTER BEANS, LENTILS, BLACK EYE PEAS, GARBANZO BEANS (CHICKPEAS), LIMA BEANS, MILLET, BUCKWHEAT, FALAFEL, HUMUS, OATMEAL, TEFF (INJERA), TURNIPS, RUTABAGA, BRUSSEL SPROUTS, ALMONDS, and RASPBERRIES.

Anemia
Anemia is a medical term that derives from the Greek word a, meaning not, and haima, meaning blood. Hence, anemia means not blood medically speaking. Anemia is a disorder characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood to levels below the normal range, decreased red cell production or increased red cell destruction, or blood loss. Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 3rd edition (1990), pg. 63 Okay, based upon the above, let's break this down to pabulum so that it may be mentally digested so that we may over and understand the matter or subject at hand. Anemia deals with a decrease in hemoglobin. Well, what is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is medically defined as: A complex protein-iron compound in the blood that carries oxygen to the cells from the lungs and carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs. Each molecule of hemoglobin contains several molecules of heme, and each molecule of heme can carry one molecule of oxygen. Mosby's supra, pg. 556 Okay, so what is heme? Heme derives from the Greek word Haima, meaning, blood, and is medically defined as: The pigmented, iron containing, non-protein portion of the hemoglobin molecule. There are four (4) heme groups in a hemoglobin molecule, each consisting of a cyclic structure of four (4) pyrrole residues, called protoporphyrin, and an atom of iron in the center. Heme binds and carries oxygen in the red blood cells, releasing it to tissues that give off excess amounts of CO2. So the key material or substance in heme (blood) is the mineral IRON. The metallic mineral iron is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which is a carrier of oxygen in the blood, as stated above. So based upon all of the above thus far, we have deduced that hemoglobin molecularly contains heme (iron), which binds and carries oxygen. So the two most important areas of analysis in under and overstanding and solving anemia are IRON and OXYGEN (which is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas essential for human respiration).

Fribroids
Are you willing to fast 7, 14, or 21 days? Are you willing to give up meat until the tumors are dissolved? Are you willing to eliminate fried foods? Are you willing to eliminate cooked food until the tumors shrink? Are you willing to take daily enemas ( including coffee enemas). Are you willing to consume vegetable juices and wheat grass? Herbs that have been proven to be successful in eliminating fibroid tumors are red raspberry, don quai, taheebo, chaparral red clover, bromelain, choline, carthamus, persica, ginger, squawvine, and butiao. Herbs are not drugs, therefore, they are not as effective in a toxic body. Please do not think you can eliminate detoxifying, by replacing drugs with herbs and be cured.

Non-Hybrid Vegetables
Hybrid - Often refers to a plant or variety that has been developed by interbreeding two or more varieties, species, or genera. Hybrids are usually an improvement over (having the best qualities of) their parent varieties, but will not necessarily breed true. Non-Hybrids (or open pollinated varieties) will breed true to type.

Common hybrid vegetables include: beets, carrots, corn, and potatoes. Common hybrid nuts and seeds include: cashews, oats, rice, and wheat. Brown, white, and "wild" rice are hybrids. Commercial "soft" wheat is a hybrid. Alfalfa sprouts and most commercially available legumes are hybrids. You may not like hearing this but it is true, unfortunately! Hybrid foods are attacked by different forms of fungi and are much more susceptible to early decay. Hybrid foods can feed fungal conditions like candida whereas non-hybrid or wild fruit will not lead to such a condition. Hybrid food cannot survive in the wild, just as hybridized people (city dwellers) cannot survive in the wild. And yes, we (people in the city, true city dwellers) are hybridized in the sense that we can't make it by ourselves in the wild; we must be protected by government and nurtured by institutions and media outlets. We must be fed by supermarkets, fast food restaurants, and corner liquor stores. We too are hybridized but we are not sweeter (nicer). Genetically Engineered Foods The greatest man-induced threat to food after man's hybridization process of food has to be genetic engineering. To cross genes of different species is frightening to say the least. Fish genes in tomatoes?

Human genes mixed with cow genes? Plants mixed with bug genes? This is sheer insanity! This is science gone mad! Genetically engineered foods are more of threat than seedless and hybridized foods.

"Genetically engineered foods are far more detrimental than those that have been overly bred to be seedless. Genetically engineered foods are those that have their genes from another plant or animal installed into their gene structure. This includes creating plants that contain the genes of animals, fish, bacteria, bugs and other life forms. The companies involved in this are truly and dangerously screwing with the structure of life. Their products have been given the name "Frankenfoods." Their experiments are no longer in their labs, but are growing on many farms around the world. Most cotton, corn, and soybeans in the U.S. are grown from genetically engineered seed stocks. These genetically engineered crops are also grown using mass quantities of toxic farming chemicals." The Sun Food Living Diet, pg. 146 Many herbs (plants) are also genetically engineered, as well as are grafted. Some are also sprayed with harmful toxic chemicals allegedly to protect them. Common hybrid herbs include: Peppermint, Queen Anne's Lace, Peach Leaf, and Spearmint. Many herbs are no longer natural and because there is a heavy demand for these particular herbs, these herbs are man engineered and harvetsed, herbs such as Echinacea, Goldenseal, Comfrey, and St. John's Wort to name a few. Their original strains may have been natural, but today, many of them are unnaturally grown. This is what happens when demands become high for a thing.

"Because large food companies often combine ingredients from many different sources, most food products that contain milk, such as butter, cake, candy, cheese, cookies, ice cream, and yogurt also contain milk treated with genetically engineered hormones. So, if you got milk, you also likely got genetically altered substances streaming through your body. Likewise, because GE corn products, canola oil, cotton seed oil, soy products, potato products, and wheat products, as well as GE papaya and GE squash, are becoming so widely used, most people living in the U.S. are likely to be eating GE foods, wearing GE cotton, using paper made from GE trees, and using body-care products containing ingredients derived from GE plants." John McCabe (Sun Food Living: Resource Guide For Global Health, p. 147) NOTE: "GE" = Genetically Engineered. It is a given that eating GE foods causes defects (imbalances) within the human body. Because the molecules of hybrid and GE plants are altered, it stands to reason that the molecules of the human makeup also become altered and this altering manifests in human behavior, actions, and thoughts in the form of defective or faulty behavior, actions, and thoughts. After all, you are what you eat. GE foods also help the business of addiction. Yes, addiction is a business and secures future profits. The greatest addiction on our planet is sugar addiction so it's no wonder why hybridized fruits are real sweet, sweeter than what Nature intended. But it doesn't just have to be sugar to cause an addiction. Anything hybridized can lead to addiction of the hybridized product:

"People become addicted to bread made from hybridized grains; corn chips made from hybridized corn; French fries and potato chips made from hybridized potatoes; and even such things as carrot juice made from hybridized carrots. These hybridized foods contain an addictive quantity of sugar and low levels of minerals." Ibid, p. 148 Dherbs has been warning people for years that modern day tobacco used in cigarettes and other tobaccobased products contain GE tobacco. The modern day tobacco strains are ten times more addictive than the tobacco used in former years. The tobacco industry is an industry that heavily depends on addiction to its product to secure existence and future profits. In fact, do you remember when the various states sued the tobacco industry for hundreds of billions of dollars, $206 billion to be exact, back in the late 1990s, because the states were claiming that cigarette smoking was costing the states billions of dollars in medical costs? Well, who do you think paid for the monetary award (settlement) to the states? The tobacco industry? HELL NO! The states (government) and the cigarette industry scammed and fleeced the public, well, the segment of the public that is dumb enough to smoke cigarettes. Sorry folks about the blunt language, but smoking (cigarettes) is a very dumb thing to do! It conveys absolutely no health benefits at all! None whatsoever! Smoking provides no nutrients, no oxygen (it actually deprives the body of oxygen), no protein, no nothing! It is not my intention to make anybody feel bad, however, smoking is just a dumb thing to do. It even looks stupid. Have you ever just stopped and looked at a human being who inhales smoke and then blows it out of their mouth and nostrils like a dragon? It doesn't even look right to be blowing smoke out of the mouth or nose.

Heirloom Open Pollinated Plant vs. Hybrid Plants The difference between an heirloom open pollinated plant and a hybrid plant is that an open pollinated plant has one parent and a hybrid plant has two parents. Hybrid seeds are seeds that result from the cross-pollination of two inbred pollination plants. Many would be health conscious individuals who decide to grow their own crops in their very own garden by purchasing seeds may not know that many seeds sold in packets, sold from nurseries and even sold from mail order are F1 hybrids. Most seeds are foreigners to Nature and are the result of man gone mad.

You can always tell a hybrid fruit or vegetable because they are usually very large. The tomatoes you see nowadays are much larger than what you saw back in the 1970s. Tomatoes in supermarkets are much larger than the tomatoes you will find in your natural garden and that's because they are hybrids. Not only are supermarket tomatoes larger than before, but so are cucumbers. Have you ever wondered how certain fruits are grown despite lacking seeds within in? If the fruit doesn't have seeds within it, how does the fruit propagate itself? Nobody should abstain from seedless fruit more than Christian and Jews. Why? Because the book they rely upon (Bible) clearly tells them in Genesis (1:29) that their fruit should contain seeds within them. This means to eat seedless fruit is to disobey their God. Being technical, Christians and Jews are disobeying their God when they eat seedless watermelon, seedless oranges, seedless grapes, and seedless bananas. It is very true that our foods should be electrical, but too much is going on beyond our control pertaining to the food supply so I personally don't tell people to rely upon food primarily for "electrical-ness." The best ways to electricalize the body today is proper sun-gazing and working with crystals. The greatest source of energy for us comes from the sun. Solar energy is our true food. The earliest humans existed off of solar energy exclusively. They didn't eat anything. Because we have degenerated as a species, we now require additional sources of energy, such as food (plants and fruits). However, we still require solar energy today and due to the defect in the human species' body, we now are dependent upon obtaining solar energy from a secondhand source, which just happens to be green plants. Green plants are green because of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is liquid sunlight or solar energy stored in plants. This is why when we eat mostly raw foods (that are organic and pure) we are energized. We are being energized via the secondhand source of solar energy. From plants we receive two sources of energy: energy from minerals and energy from sunlight (chlorophyll). This is why we can't lose when we eat a high concentration of green vegetables, especially green cruciferous vegetables. Now getting technical, we must understand that food did not create us so food cannot sustain us. Food only sustains us due to our collective belief in that food sustains us. But solar energy did in fact start life; therefore, solar energy is required to sustain us. Please marinate on the following words from professor Hilton Hotema that substantiates the assertion that all life is solar-based rather than food-based. Below, Hotema explains what actually happens at the time of conception of new life: "When the sperm nucleus contacts the egg nucleus and their contents combine, a strange event occurs. Everything vanishes from sight at the spot where they meet, leaving only a clear field. Then, after a few moments of quiescence, fine granulation begins to appear at that point where the gametes disappeared from sight. The gametes act in conformity with the energy animating the male and female organisms. But when the granulation begins to appear as stated, the work of that granulation is strangely different and distinct from that performed up to the moment. A new independent energy appears at this time, and it comes not from the mother. The New Cell that mysteriously formed at the spot where the gametes vanished from sight was the seed of the New Person. That seed-cell was independent of the mother, and no longer subject to her vital force. The New Energy was the independent vital force of the New Person, and it came from the same source as that of the mother's. This is the point where we first encounter the Spiritual man. That Spiritual Man appears as a tiny ring of colorless Fire, from which there emanate rays of rays of scintillating force. These rays materialize and build your body. The New Cell that is the beginning of the Magic Temple is a bipolar mechanism, the nucleus being the positive element and the cytoplasm the negative. The New Energy is electrical, generated by the Sun, and energizes the New Cell as soon as it is formed. In fact it is the energy that forms the New Cell. And this is the energy that energizes your body all thru life, and medical science says that the energy comes from food. And where and what are you? You are the tiny ring of colorless fire mentioned above. You are the Spiritual Man. The world calls you Soul. Soul comes from Sol, and Sol comes from Sun, and Sun Worship was the first worship of mankind." Prof. Hilton Hotema (The Magical Temple, pgs. 7-8).

So again, we are only eating and are dependent upon eating food only as a result of our state of degeneration: "...When man began the unnatural practice of eating and drinking, he introduced into his body foreign matter that had no place there. This forced the body into a defensive state, causing it to battle against the foreign matter and to develop internal adjustments to meet the destructive condition. That was the beginning of physical degeneration which reduced the life-span from 1,000 years to what it is today." Ibid, p. 8 Natural gardener WYMZIE gives helpful insight into hybridization with the following: "New varieties of plants are created by a plant breeder, when they have uniform genetically stable inbred plants, they can consider creating new hybrids. To do so, pollen is moved usually by hand from the anthers of one inbred plant (male) to the stigmas of the second inbred plant (female). The seed will grow and as a result of this pollination is the 'hybrid seed'. They are often preferred over open pollinators for a number of reasons. The parents were chosen for their strengths and to compensate for each other's weaknesses, hopefully creating a new variety that is better than the best qualities of its parents." Hybrids tend to be vigorous growers, uniformity of shape and earlier more sustained flowering, larger flowers or vegetables, or larger fruits. Heirloom or Open Pollinated (OP) plants are simply varieties that are capable of producing seeds that will produce seedlings just like the parent plant. Not all plants do this. Plant breeders cross breed compatible types of plants in an effort to create a plant with the best features of both parents. These are called hybrids and many of our modern plants are the results of these crosses. While plants can cross-pollinate in nature and hybrids repeatedly selected and grown may eventually stabilize, many hybrid seeds are relatively new crosses and seed from these hybrids will not produce plants with identical qualities. For example, each year new hybrid tomato varieties are offered. You may see them labeled as hybrids or F1, first filial generation (first-generation hybrid), or F2. These may eventually stabilize, but for the moment a tomato like the popular 'Early Girl' does not produce seeds that reliably have the features you expect in an 'Early Girl' tomato. Seed from hybridized plants tends to revert to the qualities of the parents, so tomatoes grown from seeds saved from your 'Early Girl' tomatoes might still be tasty, but not so early. Anyone can select and eventually stabilize their own seed or even hybridize new plants, but plant and seed companies have recently begun patenting their crosses so that only have the right to reproduce the hybrids they've developed. Monsanto is at the forefront in this capacity. Hybrids should not be confused with Genetically Modified Organisms or (GMOs) which can be any plant, animal or microorganism that has been genetically altered using molecular genetics techniques such as gene cloning and protein engineering. Plants like corn that has the pesticide Bt engineered into its genetic makeup to make it resistant to certain pests are GMO crops. Bt is a natural pesticide, but it would never naturally find its way into corn seed." If you're thinking about starting your own organic garden, make sure you get informed about the seeds you will use to start and maintain your garden. We have been inundated with hybrid seeds and food here in the Matrix. Many hybrid as well as GMO foods are ending up in so-called Third World nations under the guise of fighting poverty. Hybrid foods are everywhere so if you eat you've got to be eating some hybrids. If you want to make eating hybrids work for you, David Wolfe recommends that you eat small amounts of the fruits and vegetables. Mix bananas with fat (avocados, nuts, olives) and it will lessen the hybrid effect on the system. If you eat more green-leafed vegetables and avocados, nuts, or olives with hybrid sweet fruits or vegetables it will decrease their effect on the blood sugar and increase the utility of elements in the food. Hybrid grains, and legumes should be soaked and sprouted, and absolutely never cooked. As long as they are raw, the body can draw nutrients from them and can deal with them. How To Detect If Your Food Contains GE or Hybrid Food Ingredients The best and simplest way to detect or determine if what you're eating or about to eat contains GE and/or hybrid food ingredients is to use divination, a pendulum specifically. Learn to become proficient in pendulum use. Now for the ignorant people out there who believe divination is ungodly, they will just have to suffer as a consequence of their religious-predicated ignorance and eat GE and GMO foods, at least until government decides to step in and force companies to list the GE and/or GMO nature of their ingredients, which may never happen.

Divination derives from the word "divine" and means "the act or process of using divine energy." There is absolutely nothing wicked or diabolical about using organic energy, no more than it is wicked or diabolical to use energy from an AC outlet, a generator, or solar panels. Divination is the best way to detect anything you need to know about, not just GE and hybrid foods, but even if the food is compatible with your energy, male or female (if a vegetable), void of nutrition, etc. At any rate, folks, please beware of hybrid foods and GE foods!
