====================================================================

Turkey Tail grown in sawdust

The natural killer cells promoted by ingesting turkey tails also target virally-infected cells. Moreover, turkey tail mycelium excretes strong antiviral compounds, specifically active against Human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer, and hepatitis C virus (HEP-C), which causes liver cancer. Viruses that induce cancer are called "oncoviruses." The virus-to-cancer connection is where medicinal mushrooms offer unique opportunities for medical research. The current thinking amongst many researchers is that turkey tails and other medicinal mushrooms lessen the odds of getting cancer by reducing causal co-factors such as oncoviruses.


Turkey tail is renowned in Asia as a source for cancer therapy. The Japanese company Kureha first screened many polypore mushrooms and found that turkey tails produced a profound immune response, a discovery confirmed by many other subsequent studies. The Kureha researchers received a patent for extracting both the mycelium and mushrooms in 1976 and derivative U.S. patents through 1981 (long since expired). http://toughertimes.blogspot.com/2015/05/paul-stamets-john-b-wells-mushrooms.html
The extraction method led to marketing "PSK" (polysaccharide Krestin®) and later "PSP," both protein-bound polysaccharides. PSK became recognized as a cancer drug in Japan and approved under somewhat controversial conditions. Before approving a foreign-made drug, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has many requirements. One is that the Active Principal Ingredient (API) needs to be disclosed. Therein lies the problem. PSK is an assortment of sugars and attached proteins but has no unique molecule responsible for its impact on the immune system. Without that API, verification from batch-to-batch is not possible. Thus, it is classified as an undefined drug. This is one reason why PSK cannot be legally imported nor marketed in the United States.

Paul Stamets: Patent Destroys Monanto War On Bugs

In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. He Holds The Patent That Could DESTROY Monsanto And Change The World! Though Paul is the world's leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry. 

This video is on one medical mushroom, the other links are below...

Not all are eatable but have medicinal properties:

=========================================================

Medical Mushroom: Anti viral, anti inflammatory properties against diseases and host defenses of bacteria, virus and cancer cells.
What has Paul discovered? The mycologist has figured out how to use mother nature's own creations to keep insects from destroying crops. It's what is being called SMART pesticides. These pesticides provide safe & nearly permanent solution for controlling over 200,000 species of insects - and all thanks to the 'magic' of mushrooms.

Paul does this by taking entomopathogenic Fungi (fungi that destroys insects) and morphs it so it does not produce spores. In turn, this actually attracts the insects who then eat and turn into fungi from the inside out! http://www.ewao.com/a/1-he-holds-the-patent-that-could-destroy-monsanto-and-change-the-world

This patent has potential to revolutionize the way humans grow crops – if it can be allowed to reach mass exposure.

No substance on earth is as hotly debated as marijuana. It is a herb to be reckoned with and used will skill, as 89 DC scripture says. Opponents claim it’s addictive, carcinogenic, and a gateway to drug abuse. Fans claim it as a wonder drug, treating cancer, AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma, arthritis, migraines, PTSD, and insomnia. Physician David Casarett joined Richard Syrett to discuss his research into all things pot, including experimenting on himself to find evidence of marijuana’s medical potential. In the first hour, pot activist Marc Emery talked about his recent jail sentence for "distribution of marijuana" seeds, and why he believes the DEA actually sentenced him for his political activism.

Rick Simpson on Hemp Oil (Cancer)

Canada seem to be leading out in healings of the medical Hemp (protein or oil and the whole medical plant.) Only eleven state in the US but it will catch on. The protein is too hard on the kidneys and liver in most shakes. Ignore their dosage; as we are getting entirely too much protein in our diets, plant or animal. Protein need to be balanced with fibrous foods, or you may need a liver or kidney transplant. Protein's stop the toxins from eliminating from the brain.
Many such company's are making new corporations. Their prices are too high, don't buy in yet.
Hemp has a long history and is a wild plant and can be made into many things.
Please do not smoke it.  Smoking is smoking and is hard on the lungs just a cigarettes. Hello! Use in teas and brownies i.e lol

Message From Rick

On November 25th, 2009, one day before I was crowned the Freedom Fighter of the Year at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, I received word that I have been raided again by the RCMP. I contacted Tim Hunter at the Amherst detachment and asked if I was being charged. Of course, he refused to give me straight answer. All he would say was that the RCMP wanted to talk to me.
After openly growing hemp in my backyard this past summer and announcing this fact to the public on Tom Young´s open line talk show in June, how could the RCMP not be aware of my activities? The truth is they knew exactly what I was doing. RCMP officers were even sending people that needed help to me. I can only surmise that the purpose of this raid was to keep me from returning to Canada.
If I returned home I would likely be charged arrested and put in jail I expect without bail, this would mean that I would have no access to the medication I require. I am not afraid of their jails but I cannot go without my medicine, the medical system has already proven that they have nothing that can help my condition. So for me to return to Canada would be like committing suicide. I would be thrown in jail and denied my medicine and a short time later you would hear in the news that Rick Simpson died of natural causes. I cannot tell the people of Canada who are depending on my presence to help their medical conditions how sorry I am. But it was not me who caused this situation.
It seems the goal was to keep me from returning home and they succeeded. But to what end? Many hemp magazines are now telling their readers how to heal themselves with this wonderful medicine. If governments want to live in denial, it will be short-lived. We are gaining tens of thousands of followers every day. You cannot stop the truth.
For me, going to the Cannabis Cup was a great adventure and I would like to thank Greenhouse Seeds for making this trip possible. To stand before hundreds of people and be crowned Freedom Fighter Of The Year is a great honor. But it is an honor that comes with a price. Most people who have worn the tricorn hat have gone to jail for spreading the truth.
To have this honor bestowed on me and to join the ranks of people like Jack Herer and Eddy Lepp has given my life even more purpose.
Jack Herer believed as I do that the key to hemp´s complete legalization is in the magnificent medicine this plant can produce. Once the public becomes aware of the fact that properly made hemp medicine can cure or control practically any medical condition, who is going to stand against the use of hemp?
I must also tip my tricorn hat to the Weed World out of the UK. They were the first hemp magazine to cover my work. They even released a special edition in September 2009 featuring a number of articles that I wrote about hemp medicine and other aspects of the hemp movement. I must also acknowledge the great work done by Bayer; Romsy Hemp Cosmetics and Konoptikum a hemp publication in the Czech Republic. This publication has also done much to spread the truth about hemp in Europe.
Presently, I am staying with friends in Europe but it saddens me to be unable to be with my family and loved ones during Christmas. For the time being, it seems I will be seeking asylum in Europe. This may not be a bad thing since seminars about hemp oil are being arranged in many countries.
They say everything happens for a reason, so I will simply put my head down and continue forward. To anyone in Canada or the US requiring help, simply follow the information we provided at www.phoenixtears.ca . Almost anyone can produce this medicine without difficulty, if they follow the instructions. Again, I apologize to everyone for not returning. But as you can see, my hands are tied.
We are at the dawn of new age in medicine and a new day for mankind. Not only can hemp save the world, it can eliminate a great deal of human suffering and can even put an end to starvation. What are we waiting for? Join with me and let us put an end to this madness. It can only survive if we continue to sit on our backsides and do nothing. Stand up and be counted and let us give ourselves a chance to heal.
Best wishes,
Rick Simpson

Merigold Flower Medicine (Wild Flowers)

It's an excellent time to collect Marigold flower for my medicine for the Winter and collect their seeds for spring planting. The tincture is so easy to make and so inexpensive for what you can make out of it as natural remedy's. Some ways are better in oils, then salves and I make one in ACV they buy spray bottles to give my neighbor some too. Read more benefits of this wonderful natural herb on the Web. You can't do it all on one post.

Other Names:
Caléndula, Calendula officinalis, Calendule, English Garden Marigold, Fleur de Calendule, Fleur de Tous les Mois, Garden Marigold, Gold-Bloom, Holligold, Marigold, Marybud, Pot Marigold, Souci des Champs, Souci des Jardins, Souci des Vignes, Souci Officinal, Zergul.
Calendula flower, also known as pot marigold, has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. Compounds, oils, creams and tinctures of Calendula are one of the most trusted and widely used herbal remedies in an alternative practitioner's toolbox.
Calendula has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as being a strong antiseptic and astringent. Calendula is used in cream to treat minor skin problems, such as rashes, diaper rash, minor burns, acne and eczema. It is considered a vulnerary agent, a substance that promotes healing. It has been used for a variety of other skin problems such as, skin ulcers and inflammation and for relieving conjunctivitis. It has been reported to be effective in fighting  fever, boils, abscesses, and recurrent vomiting.
In a salve or tincture it has and continues to be used in connection with bruises, sprains, pulled muscles, sores and more. Earaches respond well to Calendula herbal extracts, which both soothe the pain and combats infection. Calendula flower extract is wonderful when rubbed in a cream onto the face and skin, which may prevent wrinkles by stimulating the collagen production by the body. Gargling with Calendula can soothe sore throats and stop infections and the same solution can be used as a mouthwash for infected gums and other mouth problems.
The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences says that Calendula consumed seven days before a woman's menstrual cycle may alleviate the pain of cramps. It can also relieve the discomfort associated with indigestion, colitis and menopausal symptoms. There is some evidence that Calendula flower tincture can help treat certain types of cancers like Heren's Carcinoma when used with other herbs such as Echinacea purpurea.

Calendula Flower in tincture form, taken internally, promotes healing of ailments in the digestive tract. Some report it to be effective as a treatment for recurrent vomiting. It has been used to lessen the effects of ulcers in the stomach, mouth or throat. Calendula works by stimulating the lymphatic system and by reducing swelling and cleansing of toxins in the body. Calendula flower tincture also aids the body by helping to digest food, especially food that is high in fat. Since it is a "bitter", it will soothe indigestion and heartburn, as well as stimulate the liver and gallbladder, making it useful in treating hepatitis. Calendula is thought to be a great herbal remedy for colitis, stomach cramps, diarrhea and protects the lining of the stomach and intestines by inhibiting the cause of inflammation and swelling, and by limiting the effects of the bacteria associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers and stomach cancer and works against Helicobactor pylori, a bacterium connected with peptic ulcer.

Calendula also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity and the most well-known health benefits are for those dealing with skin ailments of all kinds. Unless the user is allergic to this plant there have been no reports of side-effects or drug interactions when using this medicinal herb. It is often used topically for lacerations, abrasions, boils, lesions and other infections. Calendula flower used in creams is a wonderful treatment on the face and skin as well, and may help reduce and prevent wrinkles by stimulating collagen production in the body. It can be used as a natural moisturizer and is very soothing to irritated chapped and sun-damaged skin. Calendula is also recommended for its use in treating varicose veins, chronic ulcers, capillary engorgement, and congestion.

I prefer pulverizing the dry seeds;  soak them in ACV/alcohol  for 14 days;
removing all of them; then add more for a very strong tincture then
make my salves from this concoctions. You can buy the dark spray
bottles from MH and, the herb crushr (mortar+pestile.) ...

Calendula provides one of its greatest benefits in relieving eruptive skin disorders such as shingles, and warts from viral infections. Calendula is considered to be an effective detoxifying herb that can help with the toxicity associated with many severe fevers and infections. The fungicidal properties found in Calendula flower extract, make it a popular antiseptic herbal remedy. The astringent qualities help the capillaries function better; thus accelerating the treatment of physical wounds, cuts, abrasions, insect bites, muscle pains, bruises, varicose veins and other inflammatory disorders of the body.
Calendula also helps alleviate skin infections such as, fungi, ringworm, athlete's foot and thrush. Calendula extract is gentle enough for babies use to ease cradle cap, diaper rash and nursing mother's sore nipples. It has been used effectively in a Spitz bath for genital inflammations or hemorrhoids.
It has been recommended as a use in an ointment for first-degree burns and sunburns. It has healthy influences on oily skin and normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands and is useful for oily hair as well as, reducing dandruff. This plant has strong natural antibacterial properties that work against some pathogens particularly streptococci and staphylococcus.

Calendula is often recommended for the treatment for ear infections. Studies have shown Calendula flower extracts offer as much pain relief for ear infection as some non-herbal eardrops. Earaches often respond well to a Calendula treatment which both eases the pain and combats infection. A few drops in the ear are a common and often effective treatment. 

Not only is this herb considered a vulnerary, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory, but it is also useful as an emmenagogue, both regulating and balancing painful and irregular menstrual cycles. Of all the marigold benefits, this is perhaps the most interesting, as the flower blooms on a monthly basis. This tincture can also be an excellent herb for treating anemia.

Calendula's high molecular weight polysaccharides stimulate the immune system activity and has been researched and was determined to have some potential therapeutic activity against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) in vitro, and reduced HIV transcriptase in a dose and time-dependent manner.

More recently scientists have investigated Calendula tincture for possible anti-cancer and antiviral actions this herb may possess. The most recent studies involving marigold seek to isolate its role and there has been some evidence that Calendula flower can help treat some forms of cancers like Heren's carcinoma. Researchers from Universidad de Granada, Spain demonstrated its effects on tumor cell lines derived from leukemias, melanomas, fibrosarcomas, breast, prostate, cervix, lung, pancreas and colorectal cancers. The inhibition of these cancer cells ranged from 70% to 100%. Also tests suggested Calendula may help prevent dermatitis in breast cancer patients during radiation. In one small study of about 250 women undergoing radiation therapy after surgery for breast cancer, commercial Calendula ointment reduced the amount of skin irritation better than another commonly used commercial preparation. Women who used Calendula ointment also reported less pain from radiation.

Ingredients: Calendula flower, Distilled Water, 20% Alcohol or, (ACV will not store as long.)

Instructions: The suggested dosage is 6-12 drops in juice, water or under the tongue or as desired. May be taken three times daily. Store in a cool dark place. Keep out of reach of children.

Contraindications: Do not use while pregnant. Calendula may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to Asteraceae/Compositae family. Calendula might cause too much drowsiness if combined with medications used during or after surgery and with sedatives.

Since I'm from Oregon: I buy from this company and they ship me anything I need. They will tell you how to make it and use it. I'm now gathering the seeds and making a tincture for the winter in ACV. They're many ways to store herbs in a medicine like my grandparents (N. American Indians). Here is a good local company to learn how to make some folk medicine. http://mountainroseblog.com/healing-calendula/ Oregon has lava soil, + gobs of vegetation with its natural composting for the best crop. They have lots of organic soil and, no spray to its herbs grown mostly from the wild.
Calendula flower, aka Marigold flower, (Calendula officinalis)

This medicinal oil is simple to prepare and has so many uses. The gentle, soothing, and healing oil is perfect for cradle cap, diaper rash, chapped or chafed skin, bruises, and sore or inflamed muscles. The oil can be used alone, or incorporated into salves, massage oils, lip balms, ointments, creams, and lotions.
Basic: Organic Olive oil or, add to coconut oil i.e.
Organic Calendula flowers

1. Place Calendula flowers in a clean, dry glass jar. If using fresh Calendula, wilt for 12 hours to remove most of the moisture (too much moisture will cause the oil to go rancid) before adding to the jar. Pour olive oil into the jar, making sure to cover the flowers by at least 1" of oil so they will have space to expand. Stir well and cap the jar tightly.
2. Place the jar in a warm, sunny windowsill and shake once or more per day.
3. After 4-6 weeks, strain the herbs out using cheesecloth. Pour the infused oil into glass bottles and store in a cool dark place.

Post notes: EAT THE FLOWERS
Marigolds) The petals work well in cooked and fresh dishes. Calendula is also used as a saffron substitute because of its colour. The yellow or orange petals will colour and flavour foods when chopped and sautéed.

GREENS: DETOXIFER'S AND CANCERS

Greens – These foundational foods should be eaten in large amounts. The consumption of raw greens have been proven to reduce cancer rates in more than 200 separate scientific studies. In each of our cells is a DNA sequence called the antioxidant response element, Nrf2. It’s like the protective force field around the “Starship Enterprise.” (Exceptions is GMO greens)
 Our cells have this anticancer force field which is fueled by green vegetables. And the greens that have the most powerful fuel for the cells protective function are cruciferous vegetables. Good examples are collard greens, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, arugula, cabbage and bok choy (aka Chinese cabbage/ pak choy). The protective compound is called Isothiocyanate, (ITC).
As we chew these types of vegetables, a beneficial protective enzyme is released from the vegetables’ cell walls before we swallow. This enzyme is also released when we chop or blend the vegetable.


 In a recent medical study, men who ate 28 servings of vegetables a week decrease their instance of prostate cancer by 33%. However if they ate just three servings of cruciferous vegetables a week they decrease their instance of prostate cancer by 41%.
Another study showed that women who ate cruciferous vegetables daily, decreased breast cancer deaths by 62% compared to women who did not eat cruciferous vegetables. And this decrease in deaths from breast cancer also included women who were already diagnosed with breast cancer.

Examples such as fresh ORGANICALLY GROWN garden kale is best, and is easily grown, just cut tops back with scissors and a new crop will follow. Grow organic seed in the spring, Kale or Swiss Chard, next to a rock foundation it will grow through-out winter. Many like kale better than spinach because it's doesn't that bitter after taste (alkaloids.) Store bought kale tastes is not a mild as the variety as you'll grow in your garden. Don't let it get as big as store variety and it will be soooo tender and delicious. If the plant's smaller you can even put the tender leaves in a salads. Add it to drinks, stews or soups, especially with lamb, a excellent combination. Every family should grow
Eat This family of vegetables Kale and Swiss Chard to keep health pH. It's a EXCELLENT anti-inflammatory, contains beta carotene, Vit. K, Vit C, lutein, zeaxanthin, rich in calcium, and carotenoids. Kale and other brassicas contain sulforaphane (Swiss Chard, Cabbage, Broccoli, water crest, etc.) Kale produces a natural occurring chemical potent anti cancer properties. Studies show boiling decreases the level of cancer compounds, however steaming or stir frying doesn't result in significant loss. (Use other brassica vegetable for more cancer properties) Kales is also a source of indol-3carbinol, a chemical boost that repairs cells.
Study's now shows it blocks the new growth of cancer cells.
Health Benefits of Kale (One of the "Super foods")
• Lessens occurrence of breast, colon, bladder, cancers i.e. (100’s of studies done world wide)
• Antioxidants destroy free radicals
research has shown that Kale consumption is linked to improved mental function as you age, is probably the single best source of calcium available to you, is great for people with diabetes, helps reduce the risk of colon cancer, provides you with very high levels of manganese (a powerful antioxidant), provides protection against Arthritis, boosts the immune system, promotes lung health. It will help you lose weight as well
• High in glucosinolates. (anti-carcinogens)
• Excellent known cell detoxifier
• Lowers cataract risk
• Promotes lung health
• Protects against arthritis
• Slows loss of mental function.
Rutgers study's show lower risk of colon cancer. (Also, present in green tea, onions, broccoli, spinach, leeks and blueberries-kaempferol) We need 3 or more servings of calciferous vegetables to reduce the risk by 44%.
**Other cancer foods; Onion, Mushroom, Green Veg. (fiber) Legumes, Berry's, and Seeds are called by some "the SUPER FOODS."
Water Crest is has the best cancer properties than any vegetables. (3-5 servings a week) The sulforaphane has the cancer properties. Never collect this particular plant in ditches because of the liver worms. People do but do you know how to kill them and their larva? Vinegar/hot water? Humm... don't chance it.
Of course I could add many more greens but this is a small sample of the detoxifer's foods.http://shermsorganicrecipes.blogspot.com/2011/01/creamed-kale-cancer-veg.html Recipe

JESUS ASKED WHERE was THEIR Balm's to heal? herbal salves, was
Golden Seal Root is a natural antibiotics, that can take out toxins,
drugs and chemical. Good for itching dealing with insulin's
prob. it will weaken your medications, you may not do both?

This is a good Herb when you need something other than insulin for blood sugar problems. It has to be the root and of good quality. If you've given yourself for too much insulin or allergic reactions to them like I do. This may do the trick for you. You do have to learn to work with GS and notice what the plant is doing in your system. We are not all the same regarding health and conditions.
You can get it at Puritian Pride, but I've had problems with them sending me more and charging my credit cards for more than I planned for, so be careful. Their are pyronia's out there in this Natural healing world and seems to be getting worse.

Goldenseal is a folk medicine staple whose uses as an antibiotic and antiseptic was imparted to settlers from Native Americans. Goldenseal once grew wild in the shady forests of eastern from Minnesota and Vermont south into Georgia, but the population has declined in the wild due to over harvesting and loss of habitat. Today the only remaining stands of wild goldenseal are isolated in the northern and central Appalachians and the Ozark mountains. Insist on cultivated goldenseal only when purchasing this herb, or consider substituting Oregon grape root, a naturally abundant member of the barberry family that also contains an impressive amount of berberine. http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2012/06/oregon-grape-mahonia-aquifolium.html

Medicinal Uses: * Athletes Foot/Ringworm * Bronchitis * Colds * Cuts & Wounds * Diarrhea * Eczema * Eyes/Vision * Gastritis/ulcer * Immune * Parasites/worms * Psoriasis * Sore Throat Properties: * Antibacterial * Antifungal * AntiViral * Bitter * Cholagogue * Hepatic * Immunostimulant * Vermifuge

Goldenseal is widely used in many herbal salves and ointments as a disinfectant. Goldenseal root contains berberine and hydrastine which have a broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral action. <sup>Duke The herb's primary value is as an infection fighter for upper respiratory congestion and sinus infections as well as a topical antibiotic in skin infections, cuts and wounds, sore throats, mouth ulcers, and eye infections.

Goldenseal is also a bitter herb that stimulates bile and can be used to improve digestive problems from peptic ulcers to colitis. It works well against diarrhea caused by intestinal bugs and can be used in formulas to treat intestinal parasites. Hoffman</sup> MATERIALS FROM MT. HERBS.

FDA CLOSES PLANTS IMPORTED FROM AMAZON

info@rain-tree.com

We are sadden to inform you that Raintree Nutrition is going out of business.  
As many of you are aware, we have been prohibited by the FDA of importing our 
bulk plant materials in from the Amazon to manufacture our products over the 
last year.  Between the additional high costs in meeting new GMP standards, the 
falling US dollar affecting our import prices, and battling the FDA over our 
website while still  providing our customers with important factual information 
about our products, we simply cannot go on any longer. 

Hopefully by early next year, the Tropical Plant Database will be moved back 
onto the Raintree website and I will maintain the website for the wealth of 
information it has always provided for the last 16 years. I am gratified that we 
have done an excellent job in providing this service and encouraging competition 
because now  many of the rainforest plants we've created markets for are 
available from other suppliers and companies.  Once Raintree stops selling 
products, we will post our formulas on the website product pages so our 
customers can make their own formulas if they care to.  The FDA may be able to 
stop us from selling products but they cannot stop us from providing factual 
information free of charge.  If feasible, when I redesign the Raintree website, 
I will install message boards or discussion forums so you can finally share your 
experiences and results with these plants and formulas (that has been silenced 
by the FDA for all these years).  So while the Raintree manufactured formulas 
might disappear, their legacy will live on and people around the world will 
continue to benefit from these incredible rainforest plants.

While we are out of inventory on many of our most popular products, beginning 
today, all remaining inventory will be available at a 15% discount, until 
inventory sells out.  If you are wanting to make your own formulas after ours 
sells out, don't forget to order the bulk 1 pound packages of herbs while they

FDA MOVE IN ON RAIN FOREST HERBALS

Here's a company I've always order from on certain herbs because they are less polluted by our environment until the FDA moves in. This is only an example of what's to come. Remember when the FDA moves in to try and destroy the herbal trade they effect all natural healings or remedy’s. Who controls the FDA or (government?) That's whose behind this move and others to come. Pay attention to this is just another reason why herbal companies goes under and it’s why  here then writes your congressmen/woman to halt the movement or at least slow it down. The world for me has gotten so wicked headed by abuses of controlling how we want to treat ourselves with food, whether it's in the form of formulas, herbs, or natural elements of treatments, in some cases , that we need to call the shots, rather than doctors, hospitals, and drugs. Remember getting herbs from the Amazon is  more organic than grown in America’s polluted soils controlled by government as we don’t have WILD grown controlled.

Mahonia aquifolium 
Syn. Berberis aquifolium

Parts Used: root

Constituents: alkaloids (berberine, berbamine, oxyacanthine, and herba-mine)
See Also a sub. in formulas as "Goldenseal," as with many herbs the have the same constituents.*
A Oregon Company, "Oregon’s Wild Harvest," grows, harvests and produces their own medicinal herbal products, many of which use the herbs grown on their certified Biodynamic® and Organic farm in Sandy, Oregon. I'm from Oregon and love their fresh plants grown near lava beds, however, I do not do free ads for anyone, and have never boughten from this company, so your own you own here. www.oregonswildharvest.com
Since Oregon grape (Mahonia spp.) is the state flower of Oregon, I thought it would be nice to spend a little time telling you about the Pacific Northwest's best kept secret.

This evergreen thrives here in the Great Northwest and grows deep in the coniferous forest. It likes shade and gets very little sun. Growing close to the ground, the conditions are very damp, where bacteria and fungus thrive. The leaves are sharp and very bitter. So, you would not find the deer eating them. The bark is yellow to yellow-green, and the roots are almost orange. Right under the bark, you will find a very yellow alkaloid, the primary bioactive agent of Oregon grape, called berberine. Berberine is the same alkaloid found in goldenseal, which is what also gives goldenseal its yellow color. Berberine has been traditionally used as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.Oregon grape also contains the alkaloids oxyacanthine and oxyberberine, which function similarly to berberine.

It has a long history of traditional use as a bitter, and helps to flush out the liver by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes and bile.
Oregon Grape Roots a nauseously bitter taste. This is an herb that can take place of Golden Seal, which was over picked in the wild,...exception is the diabetic part.
Oregon Grape Root can cure upset stomach, prevent and cure skin disorders, behave as a drying and warming agent, cure delirium, sanitize the internals by producing bile, manage Psoriasis and Syphilis, tonic Irritable Bowel Syndrome, clean up blood, cure depression and bad temper, cleanse the intestines, stimulate the thyroid glands and act as an astringent. They also have alternative, diuretic and emetic properties separated from being good for the stomach, gall-bladder and spleen. Patients suffering from diarrhoea and bacterial dysentery have nearly continually been talked about to have considerably benefit ted from consuming Oregon Grape Root for Constipation.
Oregon grape is considered the northwest's golden seal, having very similar qualities but at 25 percent the price. And, since golden seal is an endangered species (over-picked in the wild), Oregon grape is a secondary choice, in some instances as it can be found in good supply in the wild.

Blessed Thistle herb and flowers contain: bitter substances of the sesquiterpene lactone type, probably occurring in glycosidic form; the principal active ingredient (0.2-0.7%) of the properly prepared dried plant material is a bitter tasting compound called cnicin, a sesquiterpene lactone or germacranolide isolated as far back as 1837.

Side Effects:

Overview:
Blessed Thistle is a low growing annual plant, up to 40cm, with Thistle-like appearance. Through its bitter properties, Blessed Thistle increases the flow of gastric juices helping with dyspepsia, indigestion, and headaches associated with liver congestion. British and German Pharmacopoeias recognize that 'bitters', including Blessed Thistle, stimulate bile flow and cleanse the liver. In Europe, Blessed Thistle, as a "bitter vegetable drug" is considered to be a medicinal agent used to stimulate appetite, aid digestion, and promote health. Studies confirm that bitters increase gastric juice and bile acid secretions by increasing the flow of saliva through stimulation of specific receptors on the mucous membrane lining of the mouth.
Traditionally in most countries, including England, Germany, Russia, China, India, and Africa, 'bitters' are used to strengthen and tonify the body. Blessed Thistle extracts also have anti-bacterial activity. Research on Blessed Thistle herb has demonstrated antibiotic properties for: 1) cnicin, 2) the essential oil, and 3) the polyacetylenes contained in the herb. The essential oil has bacteriostatic action and may help against Staphylococcus aureus, S. faecalis, but not E. coli. Research on Blessed Thistle has demonstrated that cnicin has considerable activity for stimulating cellular regeneration, detoxification, and cleansing. Cnicin also has antinflammatory activity.
Blessed Thistle may be used to stimulate secretion of saliva, increase appetite, and even facilitate digestion or stimulate the flow of bile. It has been used as a component in alternative remedies, and has antibacterial and anti fungal activity. (seeds are best)


Milk thistle is medicinally priced for supporting healthy liver function.

The "weed" I’m going to focus on today is milk thistle, as this herb has a long history of safe and effective medicinal use dating back thousands of years. Dioscorides, a first century Greek physician, gave milk thistle the name Silybum marianum. Silybum relates to a number of edible thistles and marianum honors the symbolic associations to the Virgin Mary.

The main part of the plant used in modern day herbal medicine is the seeds. Good quality seeds are black and shiny. This particular plant, native to the Mediterranean, was brought to the United States by the early settlers as a food source and also used for liver health. Milk thistle is now found growing wild in most parts of the United States as the North American Indians used this herb.

Numerous, very well-designed clinical trials have validated the therapeutic efficacy of milk thistle in improving and supporting healthy liver function. The German equivalent of the FDA considers milk thistle seeds as an acceptable treatment for liver health.

If you are taking a pharmaceutical drug, drinking a little too much, or have been exposed to environmental toxins, you may just want to provide that poor, over-worked liver with a little nutritional support. Milk thistle is an excellent choice.

Health Benefits, Liver Disease, After the fall; God gave weeds to torment man, however theirs always the blessing too, toward healthful uses.

Wild Harvest Herbs grows, harvests and produces their own medicinal herbal products, many of which use the herbs grown on their certified Biodynamic® and Organic farm in Sandy, Oregon http://www.oregonswildharvest.com  (I like their biodynamic farming technique's.) I've lived in Oregon and like the lava soil and weather there to grow any crops.

The most common so-called weeds may just be what we all need to be eating on a daily basis to restore or to maintain health.

These plants grow and flourish on this earth not only to provide us with a source of food, but also as a means to heal our bodies. So the next time you see someone spraying an herbicide on dandelion, plantain, burdock or milk thistle, take a moment and think: Why are these plants so tough? Why do they keep coming back year after year? Why have these plants all been here for thousands of years? You can find these plants growing everywhere—even out of the cracks of cement on busy highways. The movement of the GMO spraying may interfer with this for our children and plants nutrients and there procreation may be altered.

Read more on a great way to raise herbs/plants: http://www.oregonswildharvest.com/biodynamic_farm/biodynamic_history

You will need; tincture
¼ cup of Cinnamon
1/8 cup of Cloves Cloves (or Cardamon if you dislike Cloves)
¼ cup of Gentian
1/8 cup of Ginger
1/8 cup of Orange Peel
1/8 cup of Milk Thistle
1 bottle of Vodka (750 ml) (shorter shelf life use ACV)
  The scientific approach to making this is to extract each herb individually according to the correct alcohol/water mixture. However, for the sake of simplicity, here is a short-cut that will suffice:



Open bottle of vodka and remove one cup to make space for the herbs
Add the herbs to the vodka using a funnel
Replace the lid
Shake thoroughly for 1 minute
Allow to steep for at least 2 weeks- shake on a daily basis
After 2 weeks, you will notice that the vodka has changed color; Strain the herbs from the liquid and discard them
Return the liquid to the bottle
Cocktail time! Replace in any recipe using Angustora bitters, or create your own. Do your research too, this herb may have to be so old...Burdock does and ginsing i.e.http://oregonswildharvest.com/biodynamic_farm/biodynamic_history
