HERBS TO QUIT SMOKING

Lobelia (Best Little Herb of N. American Indian's) My family is Native American Indian, I'm only partials but, I inherited their ways of thinking's. If you work with a drops of lobelia at first then, add more till you switch to the capsizals using the liver herbs to carry the nicotine cravings out much faster than not, you'll make it on this method. You don't like medications, and can't still through this process. I can't help you. Use the Vapor cig.(chemicals) till the nicotine is gone. The most important part is for a cigarette smoker to know what is going on and why he/she is having such a hard time breaking this awful health habit. This alone will aide any smoker (instructions at the bottom of the pg.) And, some want to add deteriorating the lungs with marijuana "SMOKE?" (for medicine; use it as a tea only, as you will pollute everyone and -thing about you.) Smoke is Smoke.
This herb has to be within these pages because it is one of my “basic” herbs that I use often, and is in most of my formulas.
 (Lobelia inflata) A genus of more than 200 species. It belongs to the Belliflower family (Campanulacaes) family. It's used in most of good formulas that understand healing; It is called the general of the formula because all herb (plants have an intelligence) and Lobelia will tell the other herbs where to go in your particular body!
For medicine always us Wild or Organically grown herbs and check the date. They have missions for men and the scriptures say they were created before in spirit... Lobelia's the General to all herbs.
Common names: Lobelia, puke wee, emetic herb, emetic weed, Indian tobacco. Asthma weed, Gag Root, Vomit Wort, Eye Bright and Wild Tobacco or Bladderpod.
The therapeutic actions: Antispasmodic, emetic, stimulant (in small doses), relaxants (in larger doses); nervine (sedative, expectorant, antivenomous, counter-irritant, emmenagogue, diaphoretic, diuretic, cathartic, astringent and a nauseate. It doesn’t contain nicotine or other poisonous properties, but will remove them!
In this book, and if your interested in herbs its basic for all herbalist, “Indian Herbalogy of North America, by Alma R. Hutchens, it says the uses by the Indians from the root of the plant Red Lobelia for and for expelling or destroying intestinal worms. It makes them sick. The Shoshones Indians made a tea of Lobelia and use it as an emetic and physic. They used it as an antidote to poisons and is a syphilis herbal.
 (Other herbal)

Lobelia is one of the greatest herbs ever been given to the world.

Dr. Thompson (Famous Herbalist) said “there is no vegetable which the earth produces more harmless in its effect on the human system, and none more powerful in removing disease and promoting health than Lobelia.” Lobelia is a “general corrector” of the whole system, as it is easily diffused and able to influence the entire body. Lobelia is an efficient relaxant, and is believed to be the best counter-irritant known to mankind. Its action is felt immediately on the “nervous systems.” As a Emmenagogue and a powerful antispasmodic, Lobelia is effective in causing immediate relaxation and expansion of the contracted parts of the respiratory system (such as bronchial tubes, esophagus, glottis and larynx.) This allows the “breath of life” (oxygenated blood) to flow freely to the de-energized tissues. Lobelia’s wonderful healing effects are due to the herb’s great ability to remove obstructions and congestion's within the body, especially in the blood vessels. It lessens the depression through the vaso-motor and strengthens the muscular action of the vessel walls that propel the blood, and thus promotes health.
Lobelia has helped the very young to the very old, with only positive results. This happened when the Joseph Smith had revelation to give this to everyone who had malaria when they first came to a swamped area to live.

This particular church does not recognize nor understand what really went on here, passing it over as a non-significant event. Has any prophet ever been given revelation for any other herb for "all" persons then why Lobelia? I hope this will give all some insight and history to this amazing herb. (Remember they did not take the huge amount of chemical drugs as today. Lobelia will remove them and lessen their effects.) Exceptions: If your on "chemicals," drugs...it will take them out of the system and interferer with its dosage. Chemicals is just bits of glorified drugs.
Poison: This is a ridiculous falsehood. It is a myth that has been promulgated by allopath's to dissuade potential patients from using the God-given herb and from being healed. It is imperative to use only the organic form of this herb for complete healing!
Lobelia accurately and intelligently selects which way is best for mother and baby. When a fetus is dead, or in an extremely weakened condition, Lobelia will cause it to abort. It knows the difference. However, or on the other hand, if the fetus is well and healthy, and the mother is weak, it will cause the mother to heal and strengthen, enabling her to carry the child until the proper time of delivery. It is truly a “thinking herb" and works best as general in any formula giving other herbs their direction.
Joseph Meyer’s book “The Herbalist” started a statement that “Lobelia is too dangerous for internal use by the unskilled” which has no basis in fact. (However if not understood it may scare the novice.) This selective misrepresentation of this herb is incited by professional jealousy of Dr. Thompson when he could not remove him from his station and this goes way back. (Read this history) Also, Joseph Smith and Herbal Medicine. Theirs a PDF book on line by Heimerman worth studying.
USES OF LOBELIA: Smokers and other uses is; Remember all herbs have to be used as if ordered by a physician till the problem is over, or comes back.



“Abscesses, adynamia (weakness) angina pectoris (heart excitability), asthma, blood poisoning, blood circulation problems, boils, bronchial problems, bruises, catarrh, chicken pox, cold sweats, colds, colic, congestion's, constipation, convulsions, cough, cramps, croup, digestive disturbances (nervous dyspepsia, acute indigestion, etc.,) drowning, dyspnea, felons, female problems, heart weakness, hepatitis, hydrophobia (mad dog bites), hysteria, inflammations, insect stings, and bites, laryngitis, measles, phrenitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, poison ivy, poison oak, rheumatism, sprains, stomach irritation (small doses), tetanus (lock jaw), vomiting (small doses), whooping cough and zymotic diseases.” It also is good in fevers and is suited for phrenitis, meningitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, peritonitis, nephritis, periostitis. LUNG HERBALS
Infusion- the seed is best used when crushed
Powder- Use the leaves, stems, flowers and/or pods.
Tincture- Use the green or dried herb.
Dose: 1 oz. of the herb to 1 pint of boiling water makes an ordinary infusion; to be administered in tablespoonful doses every ½ or hour. A weak infusion giving in teaspoonful doses every 10 minutes will relax the muscular system and
Administrations: Lobelia rapidly influences all parts of the body. However, due to its highly divisible nature, it should always be used with a more permanent stimulant such as cayenne or peppermint or some other permanent stimulant, to keep alive the blaze that it has kindled.
What scares the user is large doses will relax the whole system completely, so that even the smallest muscles cannot be used.

When I was a young inexperienced herbalist and just learning this happen to my daughter Heather, she went limp like a rag doll when I tried to move her. This scared me to death, but she was completely well from her high fever the next day. She never was sick like that again.

It will remove what should be there in the blood metals and such as getting too much stored nicotine from *tobacco out of the system when taken with lots of water i.e.
This is a condition termed the “alarm.” Dr Greer tells us, “It is uncomfortable although not dangerous, “unless poisons (drugs_chemicals) should be administer which in this condition will be quickly absorbed. (Like with an over-dose of drugs or toxic poisons that is life-death situations) What will be the problem here is the lobelia makes some herbal base drugs work  twice as effective in this case to a fault. It may be “doubling up” of the drug by the lobelia (Lobelia is always “the general to all herbs”, who tell the other herbs, i.e. what to do and where to go) that will do the actual poisoning. That’s why some herbalist is uncomfortable to advise administration of Lobelia by the lay public. It will individual healings...and may react differently on another because of their sickness. Many follow lobelia with Cayenne. I don't really know why it works but it is better.

Other Nervine or Antispasmodic herbs: Scullcap, Valerlan, Lady Slipper or Nerve Root, Mistletoe, Wood Betony, Cramp Bark or Viburnum opulus var. americanum, Hops, Black Cohosh Cimicifuga racemosa, and Wild Yam Dioscorea villosa.
..................How to make it yourself or can be ordered from Dr. Christopher's, Mt Rose Herbs etc.

Tincture of Lobelia
2 ounces Lobelia herb (stem, flowers and leaves)
2 ounces crushed Lobelia seed (I can't find the seeds anymore so I just leave out)
1 pint Apple cider vinegar (or a good organic vodka alcohol) You only using drops.

*Did Mary and Jesus drink wine at the wedding? Tombs are full of pottery that had dried tinctures of herbs and good organic wine to administer medicine to the healing of the sick.
Preparations: Macerate in a dark bottle for 10-14 days shaking periodically then strain off the liquid and bottle.
http://www.swsbm.com/Images/H-L/IndxH-L4.html (Lobelia page)
I am never with out Lobelia in my medicine cabinet and it has save me many times of poisonings which Lobelia is known to do. This herb is a predestine herb that’s is chosen to blessed to save mankind during health recoveries. There is so much more I could add but you’ve got the idea and some direction for further seeking the many remedies on how to use this herb more so in formulas that are so lacking today of its influences. http://www.swsbm.com/ManualsOther/ManOther.html More about Dr. Thompson, one of the greatest herbals in America.

(Classic folk) This is the recipe I prefer cause it keep longer: one part lobelia to 2 part of Vodka spirits. Or, add the amount of Lobelia you need cover the Lobelia herb plus two inches above it with organic apple cider vinegar and macerate it for 4 weeks and strain and press out liquid. Bottle it in dark no plastic bottles. Cover the bottle with alummin foil if no dark brown bottles are available. The vodka will keep longer. If you will keep this going and use every day, it will remove the daily poison, pesticides, chemicals etc in our foods we get daily.
Not only because of the ACV but lobelia is a great poison remover  and so it ACV. I use mine every night before going to bed. Its on my night stand. However, Drugs are chemicals. Remember the liquor is minimal doses are started out by 5 drop i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobelia

* http://www.pshm.org/mormonmedicine.shtml Scriptures (History) and this book is the place where I first learned about any herb and about Lobelia. Download and print this book out. It's well worth it. (No longer in Print)

*Breaking the tobacco habit needs B-5, which comes natural from lecithin, followed up by B complex, all of which will make you sick if you smoke while taking them. (lobelia start with tincture, Golden Seal Root, Liver herbal,+ Water,  and if need be use the VAPOR CIGERETTE'S they seem to work for many (protect the lungs).
http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2008/10/herbals-and-foods-for-liver.html
Every time you crave tobacco leaving the body is not telling you that you need another cigarette. The body is telling you nicotine is coming through the liver, spleen, lymph's and/or stored in lung and tissues; it is clearing so...LET ME THROUGH!  You will taste it, smell it and crave the build up nicotine as it try's to get out. "Dilute the poison" with something else, water, juices may speed the process up too fast, so if you just juice do a vegetable. (substituent)
Remember fruit speeds up the process of elimination and vegetable stop it, and protein to a screeching halt. If using animal protein tobacco can't come through. So limit it once a day or not at all.
(Read Dr. Gant Book) http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2010/12/history-of-lobelia.html
+Remember their are many herbs that cross over so they're many liver/parasite herbs, choose the one that is best for you and in your area is the best.

Lung Song..."Lung Shadows" (w lyrics) http://www.trueactivist.com/this-is-what-7-smoker-vs-non-smoker-identical-twins-look-like-after-years-of-lighting-up/  Take a look at twins, one who smoked and the other didn't or not as long. AMAZING!






Organic or Wild lung Comfrey, Ma huang, etc., Dr Christopher has a good Resp Free that has lobelia in it...Lobelia is a good lung herb. Remember their are many that cross over into other ailments.

Smoking erases Y chromosomes
New research has found that smoking may erase the male sex chromosome. In fact, male smokers are up to four times more likely to have blood cells with no Y chromosome than nonsmokers. That's bad news: Y chromosome loss has been linked to a shorter life span as well as a higher risk of cancer.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, H202

Flu

I bought a small book on Hydrogen Peroxide from the HFS because my neighbor in his ninety's removed cataract's from his eyes, and told me of other benefits. I've used it ever since. It's one of my most simple, economical remedies. It wipes out the flue symptoms, whitens teeth and gives me energy if used first thing in the morning. I also use it in a spray bottle to disinfect my sink and clean veggies, alternating it with white vinegar. See pg for more details. The proxide H202 spoke of here is the higher grades found on the Internet and HFS.



H202 works wonders on a multitude of health problems. No medicine cupboard should be without it. It does so by increasing tissue oxygen levels. A closer look at how we have decreased the availability of external and internal oxygen, will show how important this can be. Our science courses tell us our atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen. That is under ideal circumstances. It has recently been reported that in many of our more polluted cities, there levels have dropped to around 10%! But now less hydrogen peroxide-containing rain is reaching the earth's surface. With increased pollution it is reacting with airborne toxins before it even reaches the ground.) And everyone, by now, knows the oxygen-generating rain forests are being destroyed worldwide, which further reduces available oxygen. New York is planting trees because of this knowledge.

Internal oxygen availability is also under attack. Chlorination of drinking water removes oxygen. Cooking and over-processing of our foods lowers their oxygen content. Unrestrained antibiotic use destroys beneficial oxygen-creating bacteria in the intestinal tract. Dr. Johanna
Budwig of Germany has shown that for proper cellular utilization of oxygen to take place, our diets must contain adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. Unfortunately, the oils rich in these fatty acids have become less and less popular with the food industry. Their very nature makes them more biologically active, which requires more careful processing and gives them a
shorter shelf-life. Rather than deal with these challenges, the food industry has turned to the use of synthetic fats and dangerous processes like hydrogenation.
It's obvious that our oxygen needs are not being met. Several of the most common ailments now affecting our population are directly related to oxygen starvation.
http://educate-yourself.org/cancer/benefitsofhydrogenperozide17jul03.shtml
Asthma, emphysema, and lung disease are on the rise, especially in the polluted metropolitan areas. Cases of
constipation, diarrhea, intestinal parasites and bowel cancer are all on the upswing. Periodontal disease is endemic in the adult population of this country. Cancer of all forms continues to increase. Immune system disorders are sweeping the globe. Chronic fatigue,
"Yuppie Flu" and hundreds of other strange viral diseases have begun to surface. Ironically, many of the new "miracle" drugs and nutritional supplements used to treat these conditions work by increasing cellular oxygen (often-times through H202 formation). For example, the miracle nutrient,
Co-enzyme Q10, helps regulate inter cellular oxidation. Organic germanium, which
received considerable publicity not too long ago, also increases oxygen levels at the cellular level. And even substances like niacin and vitamin E promote tissue oxidation through their dilation of blood vessels, and any food that's green, (inside or environmental) chlorophyll is a great remedy for oxygen.
Hydrogen peroxide is only one of the many components that help regulate the amount of oxygen getting to your cells. Its presence is vital for many other functions as well. It is required for the production of thyroid hormone and sexual hormones. (Mol Cell Endocrinol 86;46(2): 149-154) (Steroids 82;40(5):5690579). It stimulates the production of interferon (J Immunol
85;134(4):24492455). It dilates blood vessels in the heart and brain (Am J Physiol 86;250 (5 pt 2): H815-821 and (2 pt 2):H157-162).
It improves glucose utilization in diabetics (Proceedings of the IBOM Conference 1989, 1990, 1991). The closer you look at hydrogen peroxide, the less surprising it becomes that it can help such a wide variety of conditions. The following is only a partial listing of conditions in which H202 therapy that has been used successfully. (Many of these conditions are serious, if not life-threatening. As always, I would highly recommend seeking the advice and guidance of a doctor experienced in the use of these techniques.)

Grades of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is available in various strengths and grades. A) 3.5% Pharmaceutical Grade: This is the grade sold at your local drugstore or supermarket. This product is not recommended for internal use. It contains an assortment of stabilizers which shouldn't be ingested. Various stabilizers include: acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate.
B) 6% Beautician Grade: This is used in beauty shops to color hair and is not recommended for internal use.
C) 30% Reagent Grade: This is used for various scientific experimentation and also contains stabilizers. It is also not for internal use.
D) 30% to 32% Electronic Grade: This is used to clean electronic parts and not for internal use.
E) 35% Technical Grade: This is a more concentrated product than the Reagent Grade and differs slightly in that phosphorus is added to help neutralize any chlorine from the water used to dilute it.
F) 35% Food Grade: This is used in the production of foods like cheese, eggs, and whey-containing products. It is also sprayed on the foil lining of aseptic packages containing fruit juices and milk products. THIS IS THE ONLY GRADE RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNAL USE. It is available in pints, quarts, gallons or even drums. Various suppliers are mentioned later in this article.
G) 90%: This is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel. Only 35% Food Grade hydrogen peroxide is recommended for internal use. At this concentration, however, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and if not diluted, it can be extremely dangerous or even fatal. Any concentrations over 10% can cause neurological reactions and damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. There have been two known fatalities in children who ingested 27% and
40% concentrations of H202. Recently, a 26 month old female swallowed one mouthful of 35% H202. She immediately began vomiting, followed by fainting and respiratory arrest. Fortunately, she was under emergency room care and although she experienced erosion and bleeding of the stomach and esophagus, she survived the incident. When she was re-examined 12 days later, the areas involved had healed (J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 90;28(1):95-100).
35% Food Grade H202 must be
1) handled carefully (direct contact will burn the skin--immediate flushing with water is recommended).
2) diluted properly before use. 3) stored safely and properly (after making
a dilution the remainder should be stored tightly sealed in the freezer).
One of the most convenient methods of dispensing 35% H202 is from a small glass eye dropper bottle. These can be purchased at your local drugstore. Fill this with the 35% H202 and store the larger container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until more is needed. Store the eye dropper bottle in the refrigerator. The generally recommended dosage is outlined in
the chart below. The drops are mixed with either 6 to 8 ounces of distilled water, juice, milk or even aloe vera juice or gel. (Don't use chlorinated tap water to dilute the peroxide!) Suggested Protocol
The program outlined is only a suggestion, but it is based on years of experience, and reports from thousands of users. Those who choose to go at a slower pace can expect to progress more slowly, but that certainly is an option. The program is not carved in stone and keep in mind that it can be adapted to fit individual needs. Individuals who have had transplants should
not undertake an H202 program. H202 stimulates the immune system and could
possibly cause a rejection of the organ.
Maintenance Dosage
In most situations after the above 21 day program, the amount of H202 can be
tapered off gradually as follows:
25 drops once every other day for 1 week
25 drops once every third day for 2 weeks
25 drops once every fourth day for 3 weeks
This can then be reduced to between 5 and 15 drops per week based on how one feels. Those with more serious problems will often benefit from staying on 25 drops three times a day for one to three weeks, then tapering down to 25 drops two times daily until the problem is resolved (possibly as long as six months). Those with chronic systemic Candidiasis may need to start with 1 drop three times a day, then 2 drops three times a day before starting the above
schedule. It is important that H202 be taken on an empty stomach. This is best accomplished by taking it either one hour before meals or three hours after meals. If there is food in the stomach, the reaction of H202 on any bacteria present may cause excess foaming, indigestion, and possibly even vomiting.
Additionally, some animal research indicates that when H202 given orally combines with iron and small amounts of vitamin C in the stomach, hydroxyl radicals are created (J Inorg Biochem 89;35(1):55-69). The bleach-like after taste of H202 can be lessened by chewing one of the cinnamon gums. Some individuals taking H202 immediately before bedtime have a difficult time getting to sleep. This is probably due to a sense of alertness triggered by an increase of oxygen at the cellular level. The oral dosage schedule is basically the same for all conditions. There are several points to keep in mind, however. Some individuals may experience upset stomach. If this occurs it is recommended that one not stop the program, but rather remain at the current dosage level or reduce it to the previous level until the problem stops. (Some patients have been able to solve the nausea problem by taking three or four lecithin capsules at the same time they take the H202.) During the program it's not uncommon to experience what is known as a healing crisis. As dead bacteria and toxins are released from your body it may temporarily exceed your capacity to eliminate them quickly enough. In some individuals this overload may cause fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, skin eruptions, cold or flu-like symptoms, and/or nausea. One should not discontinue using the peroxide to stop this cleansing. By continuing the program, toxins will clear the body sooner and this healing crisis will pass rather quickly. If you are not already taking Vitamin E and an acidophilus product, It's recommend starting them before going on H202. Vitamin E can make more efficient use of any oxygen available and acidophilus will help re-establish the beneficial bacterial flora in the lower bowel and also help in the internal production of hydrogen peroxide. Do more research not all information is here.

BANANA CURES

Banana "Cure All's" Remedies
After reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again! *Keep in mind, NOT EVERYONE can eat bananas, due to allergies, medical condition, special diets, etc. Keep it organic of course if you can...
Bananas contains three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet, IF you can eat bananas.
Depression:
According to a recent survey amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS:
Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 -B12 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat high blood pressure. So much so, that the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

Gen. 2: 5 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. (This scripture confounds the wise rich (GMO mutilated plants) men of our day. All plants were pre-ordained before they were born here where they were spiritually grown. (As we were we...) Grown specifically for all the restoration and health of man. (English: human refers to man, 1st place-personable). Let's bless his plants that come from the God's and be thankful to their creation to bless us, if we don't let them down.
,
Gen. 3: 18 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; (God's so good to us. Yes, in our beginnings came briers, thorns thistles to torment man/woman. However, he always turns our trial to a disused blessing. In this particular case these are know herbs to bless man when needed for his health.

So Eat that banana for a stronger stomach
Eating banana and plantain strengthen the surface cells of the stomach lining, making a stronger barrier against digestive juices. Rats fed banana powder had a thicker stomach lining, while rats fed aspirin have thinner stomach lining. When rats are fed both banana powder and aspirin, the banana counteracted the drug's erosive effects. In fact, the stomach lining still increased by almost 20%. So if you have to take aspirin for any reason, make sure you eat some banana as well.
Banana also contain high pectin content which helps lower cholesterol. This is another reason to put bananas on your diet.
Excuse Me Please...I think I'll have a banana break!
New research tell us eat the banana peel!

Older Home Remedies

Some Older Home Remedies are always nice to have on hand as many will have to rely on the herbs that can be found growing wild in your area during harder times. Take “herb walks” and form them teaching the medicinal components of the herbs. Here is some mixed with honey and/or molasses that always used as a medicine along with soothing teas made from the wild herbs from our grandma’s.

1 Tbs. Glycerine (or vinegar)
Mix ingredients together thoroughly. Dosage might be 1 tbs. when a cough persists.
The glycerine is used as a preservative. www.mountainroseherbs.com has vegetable glycerine available. The company comes from Oregon and I like products from Oregon it’s a great state for “Organic”. I do not have any affiliation to this company or any other recommended companies in my pages. I do not sell products. Check Internet under glycerine for better prices i.e. this company does have a catalogue.
I've substitued raw unprocessed apple cider vinegar for glycerine when not on hand or is too pricey in my area.
What nice about making your own cough syrups is you can add onion, thyme, i.e. to the same recipe. Onion make natural sulfa instead of going to the doctor for those drugs that so many are allergic to. The thyme cough syrup is in my pages already.
The healthier the plant the more properties of healing.
Cough Remedy
2-3 garlic buds (crushed)
2-4 tbs. honey
1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Mustard Plaster
It was used for chest colds. I know the arts lost but here it is anyways.
4 tbs. flour
2 tsp. oil
1 tbs. dry mustard
Mix in lukewarm water to form a paste. Spread on thin clean cloth and cover. Place on chest for 20 minutes, shorter time for children. Be careful not to burn the skin. Some Vaseline might aid this from happening but try not to make a barrier unless necessary.
Remove the plaster and cover the chest with camphorated or Vicks. Then cover with warm fabric such as flannel or towel. Repeat in 4 hours etc.
Muscle Rub
l pint rubbing alcohol
2 tbs. oil of wintergreen

Herbal Liniment
Use 1 qt. Vinegar, rubbing alcohol (70%) or vodka (90 %). To this add 1 ounce powdered golden seal root and 1-ounce slippery elm bark (optional). Shake well and let stand for 14 days. Shake several times each day. For sprains, sore muscles, pulled muscles, etc., soak a soft cloth with the liniment. Put over the affected area. Cover this with a plastic wrap and keep all in place with an elastic bandage. For tender skin (such as a child’s) or in other sensitive areas, the vinegar liniment may burn, so rub the area with Vaseline or similar salves before applying liniment. Liniment can and should be left on for 24 hours. This can be changed and put back on. Comfrey Root can also be added to this formula if you have access to it.

SEEDS KILL PARASITES, FUNGI, MICRO TOXINS

Remember parasites herbals and liver herbs work together. The Bitter herbs are the best for anti fungals but they most are and  need the "liver" herbals to carry them out of the system though the blood and kidneys so not to over-tax the system with back-up slug-toxins that make you feel awful until they are mostly out. Most of these bitters and most seeds will kill some form of parasite. If you don't know the type of parasite you'll have vary the herbals.
If your prone to parasite (All diseases has it's parasite) or, in other words, your sick, you should never eat a runny egg, blood in any meat and, don't eat pork, that takes 9 hours to digest and is prone to be infected these days with parasites. Note: after the holidays the flues come...why is that? Ham for the holidays.
 The other is any raw fish. A egg not thoroughly cooked will add parasites as well as any redness near the chicken bone i.e. (Avoid at this at all costs, its too unhealthy,  costly and hard to be rid of them because they multiply and lay eggs to hatch out later after every treatment.)
 To be more blunt don't fed on the animals, especially the children. Read more about being a vegetarian and they too are not free of parasites. Even the cows, horse etc. eat  grass, if you can find any that do these days, have parasites. Some are fed animal product too and they you go...mad cow, pig, bird flu and it goes on and on.
 So of course we inherent them from the infected meat and dairy we eat. Pork is cured not really cook at a high enough temperature that would kill off their parasites. Horse meat is the worst, and other such delicacies, such as shell fish. Don't eat meat...is the bottom line!
The History Channel has a great show on the subject, but leave it up to the so call professional to give out their intelligent poisons to patients to get rid of them for big profits. Visiting foreign countries and dirty water, and insects can be carriers in any country.

It's not just meat that carry fungals do be extra clean when eating or storing left over foods.
Don't forget...all diseases or illness and has a "parasite.".. That needs to be dealt with first before any cu re's come...


GMO FRUIT OR VEG. SEEDS HAVE NO POWER AND CANNOT KILL PARASITES.

All seeds if not good- GMO's food will not kill parasites.
A  grain, legumes or coconut is a seed too. So are some other fruits and vegetables as we eat the flower or seed of the plant its a good medicine if the properties in their processes to make it genetically modified is not destroyed.
The more organically grown the better to kill the plant predators and thus in turn ours. LIFE CYCLE IS NATURAL IN NATURE. IF NOT INTERFERED WITH AND DESTROYED.
 (And the seeds for medicine and it flowers, root, leaves i.e. is in the scriptures or if you prefer history.) Man comes along and destroys Gods designs. for our cures then come pledges. Remember we do it not him. The Lord only reminds us of the future when we will do it to ourselves.
Children will do well with papaya seeds mixed with some honey. Pumpkin seeds are good for men's prostrates and blk walnut hull is a seeds for lupus. Wormwood clears out the deb re of parasites in the body which worm and such hate the clove  or other tincture. Cloves is a seed if not GMO are good germ killers i.e.

http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2009/01/anti-fungal-herbals.html I have written since 2002 on parasites and seem to be the only author that knows the value of the message. Most cannot read the iris or read them incorrectly. I see the lines (spokes) fad in the iris when the parasites (spokes) widen, and gradually disappear. Spokes are a chronic condition of infestation referring to parasites, accompanied by the disease it carrying and feeding on. It take in this spoke, ditches about three months to get rid of all of them. But, if you eat the same foods, or don't get all the parasites, and generally we don't, they will hatch out again eventually. Fasting
