Wild SHEPHERD'S PURSE (Stops Bleeding)

Stop-Bleeding-Fast-With-This-Wild-Basic-Weed; "Shepherds-Purse." Don't confuse the name of Purslane, not the same. I use to make sure when taking friends on herbal walks they knew the differences along with their medical properties. See: Making anti bacterial bandages.

Check your yard for this beautiful tall, scraggly plant towering a good foot and a half above the other weeds scattering our overgrown yard. I crouched down to get a closer look and immediately noticed the heart shaped pods growing along the lanky stem– I’d recognize them anywhere.
 It was Shepherd’s Purse! I have attempted to grow it from seed in the past without luck, so I was thrilled to find it thriving wild all over our lawn. The more I looked, the more Shepherd’s Purse plants I discovered around our home.
What was so exciting about discovering this “weed” in my yard is that not only is it edible and delicious, it also has medicinal properties as well. We’ll delve into that more in a moment.

Identifying Shepherd’s Purse

Would you be able to pick out the Shepherd’s Purse from among these common weeds?
There are several hints to look for when identifying Shepherd’s Purse:
1. The plants will typically grow anywhere from 3 inches tall to 1 1/2 feet.
2. The deeply lobed rosette of leaves resemble dandelion, with symmetrical leaves spreading flat on the ground.
3. A long, slender stem grows from the middle of the rosette with heart shaped seed pods growing along the length of it. (The heart shaped pods are a dead giveaway that it’s Shepherd’s Purse.)
4. When in bloom, you will notice small, white, tightly shaped flowers at the top of the stem.
5. It’s an annual herb. Although it may self-sow, don’t expect to find it growing in the same place the following year. However, the seeds remain viable for up to 20 years, so there’s a good chance you’ll find Shepherd’s Purse growing again at some point if you allowed the plant to go to seed.
6. Shepherd’s Purse grows all across the United States and in many other countries. It can be found from Spring through Winter.
I apologize for not having more photos to help you identify this plant. Hopefully I’ll find some more Shepherd’s Purse growing this year and I can update this article with up-close shots to help you with proper identification. If you’re interested in learning more there are tons of photos you can find online. Here’s a good article to read with lots of information and a few more photos to check out.

A Useful Weed

Shepherd’s Purse has many interesting uses. It is enjoyed in culinary dishes in many cultures around the world. It’s also prized for its medicinal qualities. A few of my favorite uses include:

• Eat it- fresh or cooked. The leaves can be eaten straight off the plant or added to sandwiches, salads, and soups; fresh or cooked. The stalk can be stir-fried, or eaten raw. The flowers can be eaten raw. The seeds can be stir-fried and used as a peppery seasoning. The roots can be used fresh or dried as a substitute for ginger or candied in syrup. (Source: Linda Runyon’s Essential Wild Food Survival Guide)

Personally, I enjoy picking the flowers and seed pods off the plant and eating them fresh.

• Quickly stop bleeding. Shepherd’s Purse is high in Vit. K, vegetable protein, potassium, calcium, beta-carotene and minerals. It has been used for centuries to stop bleeding internally and externally. For a quick field application, make a poultice by crushing up fresh or dried leaves to apply to a bleeding wound. An herbal tea can also be made to ease internal bleeding. Shepherd’s Purse tincture is often used by midwives to stop excessive bleeding after giving birth. (I actually took two droppersful of an alcohol tincture of Shepherd’s Purse after giving birth to help control the bleeding, per my midwife’s instructions, and can attest to its effectiveness.) Take it orally to treat internal bleeding.

Warnings: Avoid the herb during pregnancy, except during labor because it stimulates uterine contractions.
I’ll give you a little personal story. My youngest daughter… she’s five… she has always had a problem with nose bleeds. If she gets bumped on the nose playing, or falls and hits her nose, it immediately begins to gush blood. I mean more than a steady drip. The flow of blood is constant… and it’s scary! I keep cotton nose plugs on hand (you know, the kind for sports injuries) specifically for her nose bleeds, but she usually soaks through a handful of them before the bleeding stops.
When I found Shepherd’s Purse growing wild in our yard, I took advantage of the opportunity to do an experiment to see just how well it actually works. Using all of the aerial parts, I made a tincture to try on my daughter. I used glycerin as the base instead of alcohol so that it would be safe to put in her nose.
Several weeks later, my daughter was supposed to be in bed sleeping, but instead was fooling around and fell off the bed, hitting her nose on the wall. I heard her screams from across the house, and ran to see what was wrong. She stood in her bedroom doorway, blood dripping all down her shirt and puddles on the carpet at her feet. I whisked her off to the bathroom and gathered my supplies– nose plugs, a pack of ice, and that Shepherd’s Purse tincture.
I dipped the first nose plug into the infused glycerin tincture, and stuck it into the bleeding nostril. I placed the bag of ice on the bridge of her nose, and had her lean over the bathroom sink. I waited for the blood to fill the plug as it usually does almost immediately, but the blood had stopped soaking through. I wondered if the glycerin was preventing the cotton from absorbing blood, so I pulled the plug out with a new one ready in hand to quickly replace the first. But when I pulled that first plug out we were both astonished to discover that the bleeding had completely stopped. It was amazing! Never in her life has her nose stopped bleeding so quickly. I was flooded with relief, and she was thrilled that it was over.
I’ve had more times than I can count over the past year to use this Shepherd’s Purse tincture, and the results have always been consistent and immediate. It will forever have a place in my medicine cabinet.

How To Make A Shepherd’s Purse Tincture

A tincture is a very concentrated liquid extract of herbs, and is an effective way to take herbal medicine internally. You can take a dropperful or two straight from the bottle, but if the strong flavor is offensive you may also add the drops to a warm drink and take it that way as well.
Tinctures are usually made by infusing an herb in a strong alcohol base. However, for more sensitive people, especially children, you can choose to use glycerin or apple cider vinegar instead of alcohol. The latter options won’t be as strong medicinally as the former, but they are a good alternative and still work well.
Preserving Shepherd’s Purse in a tincture is a great way to capture the medicinal properties of the plant at the peak of harvest and enables you to reap its medicinal benefits year-round. Prepared tinctures are a quick and effective way to get an application immediately– as opposed to a tea which requires time to steep and cool.
For this particular herb, fresh plants are better than dried. Dried Shepherd’s Purse loses its potency rapidly. Some herbs must be dried before using in a tincture, but not in this case.

You’ll Need:

• Fresh Shepherd’s Purse stalks, seed pods, and flowers. (The dried herb can be used if fresh isn’t an option.)
• 80-100 proof alcohol (vodka, gin, brandy, rum); vegetable glycerine, or apple cider vinegar

First, gather a bunch of fresh stalks. Instead of uprooting an entire plant, cut the stalks off a couple of inches from ground level.
Chop up all of the aerial parts (stalks, pods, flowers).
Fill a glass container, such as a pint sized mason jar, with the fresh, chopped herbs.
Pour enough alcohol, glycerin, or apple cider vinegar into the jar to completely cover the herbs. Screw on an airtight lid.
Place the jar out of direct sunlight. Allow the herbs to infuse for 4-6 weeks before straining off. Store in a dark place, or in a tinted glass bottle.
The tincture will be good for one year, after which you’ll need to replace it with a fresh batch.
For more information regarding usage and dosage amounts, here is a great article to check out. It’s definitely an interesting herb, and a useful one to be able to identify in the wild.

Garlic; An Antifungal and Medicines

This soup has more than 50 cloves of garlic, onions, thyme and lemon will destroy almost any virus that enters its path including colds, flu and even noro virus.

Garlic is being hailed for its powers to halt viruses in their tracks. (strong formula)

It has gained its reputation as a virus buster thanks to one of its chemical constituents, allicin.

A recent and significant finding from Washington State University shows that garlic is 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics at fighting disease causing bacteria commonly responsible for food borne illness.

When the garlic is crushed, alliin becomes allicin. Research shows that allicin helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure and also helps prevents blood clots. Garlic can also reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Compounds in this familiar bulb kill many organisms, including bacteria and viruses that cause earaches, flu and colds. Research indicates that garlic is also effective against digestive ailments and diarrhea. What’s more, further studies suggest that this common and familiar herb may help prevent the onset of cancers.

‘This chemical has been known for a long time for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal powers,’ says Helen Bond, a Derbyshire-based consultant dietitian and spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association.

The problem of testing or making this up in some kind of formula is that pharmaceutical companies are not interested in running huge, expensive trials — as they would with promising new drug compounds — because there is nothing in garlic that they can patent, package and sell at a profit.

This soup has lots of sulfur compounds or natural penicillin (anti biotic)

Garlic Soup Recipe

Serves 4

26 garlic cloves (unpeeled)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) organic butter (grass fed)

1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder

1/2 cup fresh ginger

2 1/4 cups sliced onions

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

26 garlic cloves, peeled

1/2 cup coconut milk

3 1/2 cups organic vegetable broth

4 lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 350F. Place 26 garlic cloves in small glass baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and toss to coat. Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Squeeze garlic between fingertips to release cloves. Transfer cloves to small bowl.

Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, thyme, ginger and cayenne powder and cook until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add roasted garlic and 26 raw garlic cloves and cook 3 minutes. Add vegetable broth; cover and simmer until garlic is very tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; add coconut milk and bring to simmer. Season with sea salt and pepper for flavour.

Squeeze juice of 1 lemon wedge into each bowl and serve.

Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

If garlic were found to be a wonder drug, consumers could simply buy it in the supermarket for 30p a bulb or grow their own in the garden.

Nevertheless, garlic has a long and proud tradition as a medicine. The Ancient Egyptians recommended it for 22 ailments. In a papyrus dated 1500 BC, the labourers who built the pyramids ate it to increase their stamina and keep them healthy.

The Ancient Greeks advocated garlic for everything from curing infections, and lung and blood disorders to healing insect bites and even treating leprosy.

HISTORY: The Romans fed it to soldiers and sailors to improve their endurance. Dioscorides, the personal physician to Emperor Nero, wrote a five-volume treatise extolling its virtues.

One of the most interesting of the recent findings is that garlic increases the overall antioxidant levels of the body. Scientifically known as Allium sativa, garlic has been famous throughout history for its ability to fight off viruses and bacteria. Louis Pasteur noted in 1858 that bacteria died when they were doused with garlic. From the Middle Ages on, garlic has been used to treat wounds, being ground or sliced and applied directly to wounds to inhibit the spread of infection. The Russians refer to garlic as Russian penicillin.

More recently, researchers have unearthed evidence to show garlic may help us to stay hale and hearty in a number of ways.

Last June, nutrition scientists at the University of Florida found eating garlic can boost the number of T-cells in the bloodstream. These play a vital role in strengthening our immune systems and fighting viruses.

And pharmacologists at the University of California found that allicin — the active ingredient in garlic that contributes to bad breath — is an infection-killer.

Allicin also makes our blood vessels dilate, improving blood flow and helping to tackle cardiovascular problems such as high cholesterol.

An Australian study of 80 patients published last week in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that diets high in garlic may reduce high blood pressure.

In 2007, dentists in Brazil found that gargling with garlic water (made by steeping crushed garlic cloves in warm, but not boiling, water) can kill the germs that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

But they hit a snag: the volunteers refused to continue the experiment, complaining that the garlic gargle made them feel sick. Looking at the garlic soup recipe certainly made me feel queasy. Still, it gave me an excuse to use up my ample supply of garlic.

Though last year’s awful weather caused crop failures on my allotment, I enjoyed a bumper harvest of garlic.

Among its many other virtues, garlic kills slugs and snails. Researchers from the University of Newcastle believe it contains oils that may cripple the nervous systems of these slimy creatures.

There are two schools of thought as to the best way of preparing garlic to make the most of its medicinal qualities.

Argentinian investigators found it releases its allicin-type compounds when you bake the cloves, while scientists at South Carolina Medical University believe peeling garlic and letting it sit uncovered for 15 minutes produces the highest levels of compounds to fight infection.

So you can simply peel half of the garlic cloves and roast the other half with the kitchen door tightly closed (to stop the pong permeating throughout the house).

After an hour-and-a-quarter’s industrious soup-making, sprinkle lemon juice over a bowl of steaming, grey gloop and tuck in.

The heady aroma certainly revs up the appetite and the first spoonful does not disappoint. Delicious as it is, however, one large bowl of home-made soup is a more than ample meal.

As for the soup’s cold-preventing powers, only time will tell. Regular bowlfuls may very well keep me free of winter ailments, thanks to the virus-killing compounds they contain.

Or it could just be that my nuclear-strength garlic breath will keep everyone who is infectious far out of sneezing range for months to come.

I use the old macerated garlic, honey and ACV stored in  a mason jar going all the time. I can't seem to buy a good product that doesn't ruin the allicin, Allium sativa. Don't trust the over the counter formulas they may not work as well nor as economically done. My formula works and last a long time.

The recipe can be modified if you don't have all the ingredients. The coconut is a anti fungal and will coat/protect the stomach as will the ginger. Keep ginger on hand for stomach problems.

Why is it Good to Eat Garlic on an Empty Stomach

Many people have found that garlic can actually relieve the symptoms of hypertension. It not only regulates the circulation, it also prevents various heart problems and stimulates the proper function of your liver and bladder.

Garlic is also efficient in treating stomach problems, such as diarrhea. Some people even claim that garlic is an amazing remedy for nerve problems, but only when it is consumed on an empty stomach.

http://worldtruth.tv/see-what-happens-when-you-eat-garlic-on-an-empty-stomach

Scientists have conducted many studies and the results showed that when you consume garlic before you eat or drink anything will only increases its power, making it an extremely strong natural antibiotic. Why is it more effective when you it eat before the breakfast? The bacteria are overexposed, so they can not defend against its power.

http://naturalcuresnotmedicine.com/garlic-soup-100x-stronger-best-antibiotics-market-2/&;(many many will copy this recipe with variations so - do your own.

The Flu Formula (Penicillin Substitute)

Their are many anti biotic herbals; and ways to make the palpable for your taste: Oil of cinnamon, cloves, and peppermint i.e. can be added. lemons, oranges, garlic, onions, honey, ACV and herbs such as Goldenseal Root which costly and can't be used at the same time as taking a drug.
These is my formula method. I've made a quicker onion formula then the flu formula below just by dicing onion on a cookie sheet; bake till bits of browns are made than add this to ACV (cover, and it will swell) and at the end add honey a natural antibiotic too. Then after 14 days and shake periodically then, drain before adding the honey. Make as much as you need in this method its all food. Store in dark bottles.
(To keep the flu away take some everyday; the same as the next Garlic Formula).



http://www.i-sis.org.uk/fastTrackSwineFluVaccineUnderFire.php

Mix from dry herbs; making them into liquids before combining;
 Mix well the following liquid ingredients:
FLU FORMULA
 *8 parts apple cider vinegar (parasite, etc)
 *5 parts glycerine ~Vegetable (?) or, preserve it for a longer time with Vodka/liquor
 *5 parts raw honey (add last) Honey is healing and makes the medicine have a pleasant taste.

 *2 parts garlic juice, fresh (see below) This is the antibiotic part. Use hot potent garlic or for children onion can be substituted. Remember the honey make it milder. I've been know to use more garlic?

 *2 parts comfrey root concentrate -This is the part that cleanse the liver and you can sub with another liver herbal, listed in my blog post (Be sure to grow your own by buying root cuttings) Horizon herbs has the roots to plant in the fall. Leave out if you can't get it.

 *1 part wormwood concentrate -parasites (add in 1/2 cloves or 1/2 part cinnamon which will kill parasite also, if you can't get this herb.)

 *1 part lobelia leaf concentrate- calms, reduces fever, kill poison and kills off toxicity waste (I have bought the tincture on line and added a bottle in. This is important if really sic.) I will not buy a formula without it in. I sometimes have to add it in at the last minute. Directions are on the bottle. Mountain Rose Herbs, Oregon has the tincture and they have the recipe to make it too.

 *1 part marshmallow root concentrate (mucus less forming, a natural pH can Slippery elm (colon~lax...) or, sub ginger root; will aid if stomach problems)
 *1 part Oak bark concentrate (parasitic)
 *1 part Black walnut bark concentrate (parasitic)
 *1 part Mullein leaf concentrate (Lungs need to be protected, holistic med. comfrey's will do some of this too)
 *1 part skullcap leaf concentrate (keep you calm and kill parasites)
 *1 part each: Uva ursi, Hydrangea or Gravel root concentrate (it also has female and stones melting properties)


To make concentrates:
Each concentrate should be made individually.
Start by soaking the herb in enough distilled water to cover it, for four hours, over night if it is a root.
Makes one gallon: (bottle in dark smaller bottles)
 After soaking, add more distilled water so that the total added equals 16 oz. water per 4 oz. of herb. Use a multiple of these amounts for larger batches. Using this amount will make approx. one gallon of Anti-Plague.
Simmer the herb on very low heat in a covered pan or double boiler for thirty minutes. Then strain the liquid into a clean stainless steel pan.
 Put the liquid into a double boiler or on very low heat uncovered and simmer it down to one-fourth of the original volume (4 oz.) Only after all the ingredients have been prepared should the liquids be mixed. (Use only stainless steel pots.)
..................................
To make Garlic Juice: for the above amount use 2 1/2 lbs. of garlic - peel, blend in blender with vinegar (do not liquefy).
Let set for 3 days, shaking several times per day. Squeeze out liquid and measure. If needed add more vinegar to equal the 8 parts. (This with Lobelia/or cayenne can be added for a penicillin and taken alone if you can't make the rest up.) Or, sub. onions for the children?

(all parts are quoted) I've made just parts of this formula recipe and it stilled worked. Sub. where your herbs parts are missing or its not available, or in your area their are different herbs for the same purpose.
 ...........
 Another "liver" herb may be dandelion root i.e. You do not have to come to the USA or go over-seas for their herbs. They may have the same herbs of different ones for the same purpose. God is good to all. (or, they're many, see liver herbs, that maybe added or substitute.
If your in pain stop eating. If you do eat, don't indulge in heavy foods such as eating meat, high proteins. A correct pH balance is best. Best is a plant based diet especially if really sick. Remember the blood must be cleared/cleaned so toxins/parasite/cancers/ and other diseases can leave.
Keep your doors to your body's hallways open. Ingesting meat will close these doors. Just watch you tongue, if its white your cleaning the lymph's/liver/blood out of the body.  You will heal of your disease with this natural Penicillin if you follow directions. Use the best plants for any medical herbal formulas.
 This formula is similar, more complicated in design: http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2014/10/ebola-or-any-plague-formula.html
 ...........
Here are more options, some times it depends on what you have on hand for an emergency. It's smart to think ahead and keeps certain item in you first aid supply.


 If you have a stomach problem add in ginger root (or, buy the candied and chew on it with this)
Bowel: If you have diarrhea use more fiber in the diet;  6 g. fiber bread, sunflower leaves will work, no sprays on herbs plants use healing GMO's).
Yogurt with live bacillus to replace the bowel flora lost and or cheese, i.e. for IBS or diarrhea problems.
 If you can't do this every meal eat only one meat/protein meal and the other two vegan; take your formula Tbs 3-4 times a day.
Balance out all Protein sources it not in balance is not good for the liver and kidneys.
The flu shot is under fire: read before you take it if you have asthma etc
Whiskey and sugar:
My mother, an N American Indian lineage, for my asthma bronchial attracts of fits of coughing sent my dad out in the middle of the night to get small sample whisky. Then added it into a tablespoon of sugar. No problem even the next day no more cough fits. It burned and kills the flame in the throat immediately.
Lemon and Sugar:
Mom also made us kids hot cup of fresh lemonade and sugar. We never had money for over-the-counter cough syrups.


Steam showers for throats or lungs and breathing problems still works.


Rubbing Alcoholic soaked rag about the neck then covered over and tucked under the covers before bed time. My dau still uses this as did my mother. (...strip throats i.e.)


24 hour flu virus, "throwing up kind"....easy! Hot jello water by morning it will be gone.


add you own in comment
 Macerate your pork in vinegar and cook it in cloves i.e.. Their is a break out of this flu this year and will effect every body. When do we eat port? Winter and the holidays and that when this flu begins. Think

BABYFOOD HOMEMADE W/O CHEMICALS

UPDATED: From store markets, jar baby foodS are not as nutritious as home made. Watch out for too much sugar, filler and GMO's foods; if not organic mom can create many food addiction's, and allergies if using sugar and from process foods at an early age. If boughten, baby-foods don't contain enough fiber (fiber means real food content, or too filter) can hurt digestions. Another clue is that it lacks nutrients. If too young for fiber, than add organic cornstarch or, cereals yourself then freeze any left-overs for the next meals. If you read labels and are educated mom= you'd never buy formula. It's full of sugar and antibiotics given to the cows. Goat milk has less problems if you cannot breast feed. If using grains/seeds/nuts such as coconut/almond milk; you'll need to supplements and do some more researcher, but most of all use only organic whole rice i.e. Use a bit of pear juice or other fruits for sugars. If it's hard to fine in season make your own and store.
Careful, when too young adding meats or adding extra proteins (only bal. within a plant itself) for children are too young. This will produce less ADD and ADHD population as it starts here.
Mom's don't take older children off a balanced Omega's (by using fatless diets) from bad advice of commercials from fads that have produced this ADHD epidemic.Updates:

Caution on what chemicals are in baby's food and environments

Formulas contain high levels of sugar/corn-syrups and some are promoted for use from four months of age – a time when babies should still be on a diet of breast or a better formula of no hormone milk's. It's no wonder children are over-weight and this problem is growing.

"Babies would need to eat twice as much store-bought food to get the same energy and protein as a nutritious meals cooked at home," some researchers found. That holds true for all of us eating any GMO foods.

This study, from the department of human nutrition at the University of Glasgow, said many weaning foods "would not serve the intended purpose" of giving a baby extra nutrients or a range of tastes and textures. continue to read the link provide above.

Anti-Plague Recipe

Reveling the famous Dr. Christopher's Anti-Plague recipe. (I took classes from him in the '70's.) It goes as the following; (Note the ACV and the Garlic (Lobelia remove poisons) are the key. components.) This recipe or formula can be used for everything.... (Make it up and share it with other members of your family) or, go buy it in Ut.
8 OZ. COMFREY ROOT (CUT—NOT POWDERED) GROWS new CELLS. (The cut root is not banned in US)Do grow your own.
4 OZ. LOBELIA—CATALYST, removes obstructions and poisonous toxins
4 OZ. WORMWOOD—PAIN
4 OZ. MARSHMELLOW ROOT—KILL GANGRENE
4 OZ. WHITE OAK BARK – ASTRINGENT
4 OZ. BLACK WALNUT—KILL FUNGUS (PARASITES)
4 OZ. MULLEIN – LYMPH'S
4 OZ SKULL CAP – REBUILDS NERVES AND DAMAGED SPINAL CORD. (SUB. BLACK COHOSH IF YOU DON'T HAVE SKULL CAP)
4 OZ. GRAVEL ROOT – SOLVENT TO STONES KIDNEY AND GALL BLADDER (THE SUB...IS UVI URSI)
1.Each of the above herbs must be soaked in distilled water at low heat. Use the oven on the lowest temperature and leave door ajar. Use only glass or stainless steel for heating herbs. 20 – 30 minutes. Each herb are to be done separately. Simmer to 1/2 the original amount then strain.
Place a large stainless steel container and add the following;
1 quart organic apple cider vinegar
8 ounces of fresh pressed organic garlic. (organic when possible) You can use a blender or food chopper with the base of ACV, then the garlic and strain both through cheese cloth i.e.
Now...you have about 8 oz. Of liquid. Add honey to this mixture.
Bring to low heat to bottle and seal, or you can cold pack it.
* If you want to make this up in smaller amounts just switch the 8 oz to = one part ( 4 oz.), and the 4 oz.= 2 oz, as 2 parts etc. which is usually the way the recipes for herbal formulas recipes are noted in parts. In other words half the recipe etc.
I use this for any lung issues such; Asthma, flues, coughs etc.
Theirs a food conspiracy by the government that protects while destroying our freedom of choice, ruining organic whole food, and controlling the market by their tactic's for Wall Street.
Comfrey has been banned because of an older man's death. The fact is herbals have the best track record compared to medications on the market. Remember all problems concerning an herb have been recorded by predigests ignorant physicians who know very little about herbs, most not at all. If any herb is ban by government (FDA etc.) agency, is a sign herb is one of the "powerful healing herb." You should always do your research on that specific herb. Lots of nuts and inexperienced youth use herbs incorrectly and give them a bad name. Well so it is with medicines too. Mandrake, Comfrey, Lobelia, Ma Haung (ephedria,) and many others. are threats to the medical establishment and Wall Street profits.
This is a powerful formula. It maybe still available and marketed ?

Lobelia Inflata, (Removes poisons & chemicals)

Lobelia (Best Little Herb of North American Indian's and pioneers)
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 (all normal organic 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.
 (A syphilis 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 we need to ask, 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. Do you need to take out this drug? It will alter it's effects.
Poison: This is a ridiculous falsehood. It is a myth that has been promulgated by allopaths 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 in its way of healing. When a fetus is dead, or in an extremely weakened condition, Lobelia will cause it to abort. As this herb will know the differences. 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 like a "General" in any formula giving other herbs their directions.
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. Their's a PDF book on line by Heimerman worth studying if your going to heal others with this herb.
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.
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, in some cases, 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 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 to help in blood circulations.

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.

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. 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
