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.

Women Survives Making JOBS

Mighty Immigrant Moms—Making Tamales (Lots are single mothers) Men too can do this if no work for their families.

In Austin, Texas, undocumented single mothers can't legally be employed, but they've found a way to make a living. They formed a cooperative, where they could be their own bosses. Sure, their business is still in its early stages, but it has given them hope following pasts fraught with pain and abandonment. They left behind their homes—whether in Central America or Africa—to create new ones in the United States. By supporting and empowering one another, these mothers show what it takes to really make America great again.   Immigrant Moms Were Told They Can’t Have Jobs—So They Started Their Own Tamale Co-op Employment options can be extremely limited for undocumented immigrants who can’t work legally.

Natural Remedies For Candida (Yeast Over Growth)

The importance of gut bacteria in getting rid of Candida Overgrowth. Stop the beer drinking in men yeast settles in the testacies. Diabetic's in comes through your insulin's that have a yeast (timer in it) known as an extender/carrier. Some insulin's and other medications cause more yeast infections. And, you will have to continually work on this problems. Here are some suggestions I've picked up on the net for myself. ( note that your sexual partner can pass this on, You both should be treated at the same time.
 My best remedy for yeast that I use all the time is just baking soda in water you can add in some lemon or apple cider vinegar. Why you ask? You need to turning your body back to alkaline yeast is acid. Keep infections down No milk except private probioticsthat’s it will be what you’re aiming for here for a s season at least stay away from acid producing foods+ beverages-meats turm in the body to aacid.  So time your intake for meats some dairy also

Well, it turns out a caesarean birth deprives you of all the lovely bacteria your mother's body has prepared for you, which you're supposed to be exposed to on your way out. This sets you up for poor gut bacteria, and as a result a poor immune system

From there, the snowball keeps rolling. A poor immune system from the start, with a normal North American diet that doesn't has too much processed foods carbs and too much sugar  which yeast feed on .

We are prescribed antibiotics for every thing, that would include antibiotics in all dairy and animal product pass on to you. Which might save your life for now but they sure beat down the immune system even more in the long run...

Contributing factors to Candida overgrowth

Add to that 10 years of taking the pill from my late teens to late 20s, because I never knew any better and of course everyone takes the pill! Doctors literally shell them out like candy. Acne? ill. (here's how the pill contributes to Candida overgrowth)
Turns out these are some of the classic causes for and symptoms of Candida albicans overgrowth. Who knew!
Candida albicans remedies
From that point I started a very long, stressful and expensive process of researching, buying and cycling through various candida remedies and protocols. Here are some that I tried:

• bentonite clay with calendula
• diatomaceous earth
• ashwagandha
• pau d'arco
• turmeric, cayenne and ginger capsules (DIY)
• garlic
• eating only coconut oil
• not eating basically any carbs except green vegetables (no fruit no starch)
• oregano oil (health food store brand)
• clove oil (health food store brand)
• tea tree oil (health food store brand)
• caprylic acid
• goldenseal root
• drinking nasty herbal tinctures and taking heaps of capsules in a kit called Candigone (completed 2 kits, didn't work)
• Difluconazole from the doctor (has to be continued)
• pharmacy yeast infection kits many times EAT NO SUGAR, CHOKE OUT THE CANDIDA, KILL IT WITH ANTI-FUNGALS.

The problem with the typical approach to Candida
Thankfully I found this blog post from Lauren at Empowered Sustenance first.
She pokes holes in the typical Candida Diet approach, pointing out that it doesn't affect the root causes of the Candida overgrowth, which are essentially:

• leaky gut
• poor digestion
• and therefore a compromised immune system and systemic inflammation

Lauren also points out that

A Candida Diet impairs metabolism and hormone function. A sugar free diet will elevate stress hormones, which exhausts the adrenals, reduces thyroid hormones, and taxes the body. (Insulin's too)

This includes developing an armoured shell called chitin, building a bio-film, burrowing deeper and deeper into tissues, or casting out long filaments in search of the fuel it needs to survive. 
It's important to keep in mind that Candida is supposed to exist in a certain amount in a healthy human, and completely choking it out is (clearly a losing battle and) actually not healthy.

Healthy candida levels are vital for proper nutrient absorption and to protect the intestinal tract from other infections. (source)

It's just a matter of keeping things in a nice healthy balance. And this is where the mind-shift happened.

A new approach to cure Candida overgrowth naturally

Thanks to Lauren's article, I decided to shift away from the KILL CHOKE KILL approach, and toward a self-love, health-supporting mode of overcoming Candida overgrowth. The theory here is to support the immune system, metabolism and digestion so that the body can naturally re-balance the microbiome.
Here are some suggestions:

• support digestion by drinking lemon juice and/or raw apple cider vinegar a few times a day (juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon, or 1 tsp ACV in a glass of water)
• support metabolism with generous doses of pink salt on my food (always be sure to have some in the morning to support the adrenals), plenty of healthy traditional fats (such as grass-fed butter, coconut oil, red palm oil, avocados, oily fish, etc) and moderate amounts of sugars like raw honey, dark chocolate, fruits and starchy veg (max 3 small servings/day)
• support the immune system by eating probiotic foods like raw kefir, homemade sauerkraut, homemade kombucha, and using immune-boosting therapeutic-grade essential oils topically, aromatically and internally. I especially used the supportive blend OnGuard a lot at first, and the GX Assist capsules from do TERRA. They are a clean blend of immune-supporting and anti-fungal essential oils, plus caprylic acid. I also use immune-supporting anti-inflammatory oils like frankincense, oregano, rosemary, lemon etc on my feet at night. Here is where I get essential oils good enough (and safe!) to be used medicinally this way.
• consuming fresh garlic, turmeric, cayenne, ginger in cooking whenever I can (yum!)
• I've also found that making capsules of powdered turmeric, ginger and cayenne (TCG) helps (take 1-3 capsules of each, 1-3 times a day) I recommend using your own organic spices rather than buying extract supplements, because you never know what's actually in those or how good-quality they are.
• supporting immunity and healing in general by applying a transdermal magnesium oil supplement quite religiously (1/2 tsp to 1 tsp a day), making/cooking with/drinking bone broth as often as possible, and being sure to sleep enough

Hormone Herbs

What are female hormonal herbs. Their so much fake, synthetic, man made carbon herbs (remakes into drugs.) Organic News needed a to post other alternatives. I don't do homework on all these types of herbs God gave plenty of these species and others in each area of the world. Here are the few that I'm familiar with. The new synthetic birth control pill (estrogen's) will have a day of recking...and on females who believe in using them. It effects us all, the waters are being polluted by people who use them. It's a wonder that any female today can even get pregnant with the birth control pill, estrogen's i.e that nothing can clean up the water environment. Reports on De-sexed fish and that has carried onto other freaky animals should make humans relies that could carry on to them also. http://earthsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2009/12/women-female-problem.html Other,reports are in my blog post of: Roosters Politics and a good book called, "Your Fertility Signals by Merryl Winstein", or another, (How to Achieve or Avoid Pregnancy Naturally)

• Chaste Berry (Great for breast enlargement of any kind, take before periods) PMS symptoms
• Black or Blue Cohosh *Black Cosh (Most will known, if take too much a headache will accrue. Adjust, cut back, but faithfully use as your replacement hormone drug every day. (Estrogen influences 16 mg daily for some, depends on weight and condition of female. Some are lacking in estrogen's and may need more or even less.) Fibromyalgia muscle pain, this and Emmenagogue herbs effect the nervous system.

• *Wild Yam (Book available on birth control in HFS) This is an herb largely researched by Washington who made his wife pill for her female problems then turned around and manufactured it to pharmacy company's synthetically.

These are a few more of the healing are called Emmenagogue Herbs. Some are abortive, menstrual, menopause's, extra bleeding, birthing, i.e. problems and used at the wrong times can be fatal, so do your own research before using. Some are hormone replacement and you need to do more research. The key word to do more research more is Emmenagogue herbs...in the Herbalist area.
This particular formula will stop excess bleeding and is one of the best formulas. Great for menopause problems or to get pregnant after used to clear they female system of its debris or toxins.
http://www.mynaturalmarket.com/dr-christopher-female-reproductive-formula-100-capsules.html Dr. Christopher has formulated this well, and beats most female formulas on the market.
Other too many to post, but are many Emmenagogues, not necessary hormonal: Aloes, Acacia, Angelica European Arrach, Asafetida Balm, Bayberry, Beet Beth Root Birhwort Bistort Bitter Root Bittersweet American , Blood Root (cancer), Brroklime, Buchu, Burnet, Button Snakeroot, Calamint, etc. Every area of the world have their own medical plants...check there first.
We have too many US manufactures like "Young Living" i.e. who go to Europe, (Rain Forest) buying exotic herbs, to sell them here so we can't buy them from other source creating a exclusive market for themselves. Creating piranha's of this herbal market. Most of the time their's one in your area that will work the same. Such as in one this category Emmenagogues plant is an Emmenagogue plant not that it matters where it comes from or the particular botany name.
All herbs are parasitic in nature if in organic form will make a more potent and powerful medicine. IF not started OUT in a hybrid seed or plant.

ASHWAGANDHA FOR DEPRESSION, THYROID, ASTHMA.

Ashwagandha is a medical plant, root and berry are used to make medicine. I just recently started using this herb for my thyroid and bi polar (an "affective disorder of bi polar," meaning IT MAYBE is brought on by an allergy to iodine in shell fish in anything in the sea, allergic reaction to food or some drugs). This herb will also help the iodine problem so its perfect for me. Since iodine is a problem in the larger fish this is the herb to use if allergic to fish.
Ashwagandha worked so well for my thyroid and calming me down that I investigate further to see if it was my imagination.

It adds to more sexual desires

I had not heard of it and wondered why this was missing out of the herbs I've studied.
I had heard it was great for thyroid and polar depressions, electrical system of the body and blood pressure. Researching it I found it was for many of my other ailments such as in arthritis, anxiety, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, female and menstrual problems, chronic liver diseases. For me it is God sent. It stops my anxiety immediately. I also have used Kava Kava at night and love Bach's Rescue products, such as pastilles i.e. for sleep and stress. This product may take their place. We will see.

Ashwagandha is also used as an “adaptogen” to help the body cope with daily stress, and as a general tonic. It may take the place of Celebrex (arthritis) which raised my blood pressure and other problems. (I can't take this product it not good on the heart too.

Some people also use ashwagandha for improving thinking ability, decreasing pain and swelling (inflammation), and preventing the effects of aging.

 It is also used for fertility problems in men and women and also to increase sexual desire. I notice it gets me up mentally (lg. doses depending on your needs and problems) Maybe a night or some may need on does durning the day. Try it out different time or, vary the dosage accordingly.

Ashwagandha is applied to the skin for treating wounds, backache, and one-sided paralysis (hemiplegia).

In Ayurvedic, Indian, and Unani medicine, Ashwagandha is described as “Indian ginseng.” Ashwagandha is also used in traditional African medicine for a variety of ailments.
Use for:

• Tumors.
• Tuberculosis.
• Liver problems.
• Swelling (inflammation).
• Ulcerations.
• Stress.
• Inducing vomiting.
• Altering immune system function.
• Preventing the signs of aging.
• Fibromyalgia.
• Infertility.
• Sexual male or female (acts like a good Ginsing root and many think better. The reason is the ginseng has to be so many years old that herbal company's don't know or chooses to ignore this fact.) May take the place of velagra for many.
• Other conditions.
         Other sources click links

How does it work?

Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling (inflammation), lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system.


* Other herbal to calm down, depressions are; Bach's Relaxes, Kava Kava, and/or Flax seed oil.
This is one of my favorite herbs I use every night. It get me to sleep and help me when my blood presser or anxiety.

MORNING AFTER PILL IS NOT AN ABORTION

The morning after pill is in the news today CNN NEWS ; "A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make the morning-after birth control for whom some says is to "aborted a fetus's;"  It was because of this ruling this morning after birth control pill maybe available to people of any age without a prescription (over the counter without parents consent." ," said in a statement.

The key ingredient in Plan B is a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel.

This drug stops an egg from being released from the ovary, or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm. (So, it can't be an abortion.)
 

And: MALES ROLES IN ABORTIONS

 

If there has been fertilization, this Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from embedding in the uterus. But if the egg has already been implanted in the uterus, the morning-after pill will not work. So what's the problem if this is not yet a fetus other than, both male and females involved aught to strive, in the future, to be morally clean in every way; this will not the issue on the news. And, I didn't know
you can legislate morals just for the women...and not the men

   

These emergency contraceptives (and for rape) is intended for use within 72 hours after sex but are most effective if taken within 24 hours.  Again...What's the problem? Who's telling women what to do here...when and why?

This could result in less term-abortions, less money for lawyers, hospital, medical personal, RX makes 50.00 a pill. Some lawers, churches; the ones who have adoption agency's that will surely loose money, and too, any baby clinic's across the world who sell these young women's baby's to others would have a problem here (more dogma.). These young women's baby's are big money makers, but non goes to back their makers...you know who I mean.

So WHAT'S THE REAL PROBLEM HERE? I don't consider this an abortion issue, unless society considers that the IUD and other hormone pills are too; but a way of prevention of one. (No sense in bringing little blessing into the world at the wrong times for the wrong reasons.)

Yes, before this happens, we need to teach both men and women to be chase, however, this sins has alway happened. So lets punish those nasty woman take their babies to teach them to be chase?  We don't need, (at an egg (not yet attached i.e. stage, to bring a Little"blessing" into the world just to satisfy the over-bearing, over-zealous religious nuts as they use it to further burdening these women more. Done mostly by men who don't really know how to HONOR, a woman.  And, don't forget most women do and are using a hormone pill...too! What's the real problem here? Why not the men too?
http://www.vasectomycalgary.ca/basics.htm
Yes, I'm against most abortions, but, I never forget women's side of it. She is the pro-creator and in the end it's her discussion not the churches (church and state/law issue?)  The real issue is MONEY, POWER AND GREED...they need that egg to fertilize form a child and sell it as one of the biggest business going...give me a break!
And, too, we have too many synthetic hormone pills in our waters, even the fish are confused to weather they should fertilize the eggs or lay them. All drugs end up in our environment coming back to ruin our health causing many that want to conceive not to being able to because of  our drugged drinking water.

STD'S IS RISKY IF SHAVING PUBIC AREA'S

NEW research suggests shaving your pubic hair may actually increase your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) known as molluscum contagiosum. Where your bear you are too venerable to other diseases, so you may want to re-think about shaving.

 
STDS BY SHAVING THE PUBIC AREA, IS IT WORTH IT ?

 
The Independent:
"As director of the health centre at Western University in Washington State, US, she has seen the consequences. 'Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles, leaving microscopic open wounds. Frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that is combined with the warm, moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest bacterial pathogens.'...
In her practice it is not unusual to find patients with boils and abscesses on their genitals from shaving as well as cellulitis, an infection of the scrotum, labia or penis from shaving or from having sex with someone infected. Herpes is also an increased risk 'due to the microscopic wounds being exposed to virus carried by mouth or genitals.' 'It follows that there may be vulnerability to the spread of other sexually transmitted diseases as well,' ' she says.

Hair grows naturally for a reason...but it's your choice. This post might help you make a healthier choice and work more with nature naturally. STDs and Infections May Also be Linked to Pubic Hair Removal At professional settings.

"I've been diagnosed with Clinical Depression and General Anxiety disorder and have been on several antidepressants, but no RX for the anxiety. I don't like RX drugs, I don't like the side effects so I am treating my conditions naturally now. I took Kava for my anxiety, but it made me sleepy. I'm currently taking homeopathic medicine to treat my depression, but Rescue Remedy changed my life!

ASHWAGANDHA, IMMUNE PROTECTION

Ashwagandha has been used for centuries. Although people mainly associate the herb with India, Africans; even Native Americans have used it for infections and for warding off illness. Earning its fame in Ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha is now proving to be a powerful herbal remedy prized by the alternative health community. It seems to derived from tomato plant species. Ashwagandha contains many useful medicinal chemicals, including with anolides, (steroidal lactones), alkaloids, choline, fatty acids, amino acids, and a variety of sugars.

confers immune system protection

combats the effects of stress

excellent male herbal

thyroid

improves learning, memory, and reaction time

reduces anxiety and depression without causing drowsiness

stabilizes blood sugar

lowers cholesterol

reduces brain-cell degeneration (brain herbal)

contains anti-malarial properties

offers anti-inflammatory benefits
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb commonly used in ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India). Although it's not botanically related to ginseng, ashwagandha is often called "Indian ginseng" due to its supposedly rejuvenating effects.

(Many other properties are cropping up and being studied; (not in US that would interfere with the drug corporations)

Modern science is beginning to grasp the potent abilities of this herb. Numerous studies by researchers at India’s Banares Hindu University have investigated its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-stress properties.

Seven companies in America have applied for a patent to include ashwagandha extract in the manufacture of certain products.

Four Japanese companies also have applied for a patent. Which may mean they this is an excellent product and they want to make profits by confiscating it from public!
 (It really take "balls" ta rob nature, making it out of balanced or UN wholesome for man or animal, herb for drugs so to patent it, then sell it back to the people they've rob it from in the first place.

Practical Uses and Precautions

The usual recommended dose is 600 to 1000 mg, twice daily. For people who suffer from insomnia and anxiety, having a cup of hot milk that contains a teaspoon of powdered Ashwagandha before bedtime is beneficial.
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/26065781/ASHWAGANDHA-REVERSES-THE-EFFECT-OF-CHRONIC-ESTROGEN-EXPOSURE-ON This can balance out too many female hormones, so it would be especially good for some men too.


Don't take the above if you don't have a partner or gay.
The men's issue page I drop and put in draft. No interest.
When men play with each other. They get poo on their penis. When that happens it travels to the inside male organs testicles, bladder etc. and delivers toxins from the bowel. Men will mouth the other partners penis and ingest poisons further into the tongue, teeth, gums, blood stream and throat spreading these poisonous toxin at both ends.
Then wonder why they have yeast, bladder, and other STC infections. Some of these poisons cause erectile and testicular malfunctions. IS it worth it? It's a nasty habit if men want to be physically and mentally healthy. Use condoms. Rear entry will ruin eventually the rectum, ask nurses and doctors what they've seen.
These men may have hemorrhoids and tissues hang having issues all your life.

Alpha Lipoic Acid For Diabetics

Diabetics
This is a diabetic aids I personally use and find helpful in decreasing my intake of insulin. I cannot take diabetic pills at all. This is a new regimen is added to my daily herbals. When you isolate any supplement you can run into trouble. At the bottom of the pages are possibly some of those side effect of this particular supplement. (Leg cramps came in larger doses and I had to decrease at times and stop ALA, then re started again.) Remember natures golden rule is to only introduce to the body one herb, supplement, medication etc. at a time so to zero in on any possible side effects.

The photo is an Alzheimer's eye. the white fog means there is no oxygen getting to the brain and caused by too many drugs that can't get out, now its causing anemia or brain fog.

Alpha Lipoic Acid or ALA (Lipoic Acid is derived from coconut) recognized as a co enzyme that can break down sugar for energy production.
Dr. Berkson used it successfully in treating chronic liver disease (viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, etc).
It's obvious that ALA kill fungus, (yeast), and you may experience a bacterium or "yeast kill off", as it cleanses pockets from the colon. I had this experience and had to stop and reduce dosage and take care of the bacteria and yeast too. Don't panic if this happens, just be aware of odd experiences from the rectum etc. and don't make your "cure" worse than the problem.
Food Sources: Such as peas, Brussels sprouts, rice bran, carrots, red meat, spinach, broccoli, beets, yams, kohlrabi, and potatoes i.e.

It prevents symptoms of vitamin C, E deficiencies. Its been shown to increase cellular uptake of glucose in use of diabetes. It is useful in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (brain area). The body does make APA, but we may be deficient. It neutralizes free radicals to any cell damages and helpful with “burning mouth syndrome.
Great as a chelating agent in treatments of heavy metals such as mercury intoxication's. It can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cell membrane. (It can remove mercury from the brain area and central nervous system the electrical system of the body (nerves.)
Uses: Cataracts, heart failure, diabetes, glaucoma, viral hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, hearing damage, HIV and AIDS stroke. ALA helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances.
http://www.diagnose-me.com/treat/T76343.html
Diabetes: ALA helps to reduce pain, burning, itching, tingling and numbness in persons who have nerve damage (neuropathy). Studies have shown alpha-lipoic acid speeds the removal of glucose (sugar) from the blood of people with diabetes and may prevent kidney damage associated with diabetes in animal. Careful to monitor glucose sugar that may gradually come down.
Poisoning: Amanita is use for the highly poisonous mushroom that causes liver damage.

Medications: You should not use ALP if using Amikacin, Gentamicin, Cisplatin, and
Cyclophosphamide or thyroid-regulating meds. levothyroxine are possible interactions.

(This study showed: Reverse aging processes in Rats)

Doses vary: From 300 mg to 600 mg once a day for diabetics other 150 mg – 300 mg if any cramping problems cut dosage back (Take on empty stomach is suggested for full effect) The first time I started taking ALA it didn't seem to work, and I laid it aside. A little bit of knowledge just won't do with this supplement and others for diabetics. Then I increased my dosage and used it every day, either a lg. dose one a day or in smaller dosage 3 times a day, and then my blood sugars came down if taken continually like diabetic pills. You do have to find your own way of dosing if using this supplement.

SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, ting lings, pins and needles sensations, skin rash, muscle cramps, (If any side effects do cut back on dosages), insulin autoimmune, hypoglycemia and may effect thyroid hormone levels.

CA not made by the body and is a fatty acid found in coconuts and even in breast milk and known as an anti-fungal used to treat Candida's or yeast, and some bacterial infections (Staphylococcus aureus and/or species of Streptococcus). Is an anti fungal as all other coconut products.
This can work on the hypothalamus and other such fatty acids, that some studies indicating in the brain it is affects weight control. Coconut oil is also know to control blood sugars, in turn, weight.

YEAST INFECTION REMEDIES

THIS IS A HANDY PAGE TO HAVE ON HAND AND GIVE TO YOUR FEMALE/MALE CHILDREN TO USE WHEN THEY NEED IT. NOT ALL OF US HAVE MONEY TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND MONEY FOR EXPENSIVE MEDICATION. IF NONE OF THESE SUGGESTION WORK THEN BY ALL MEAN GO.
Let me say this post is worth printing and giving to daughter i.e.. Next let me say the best remedy is this 1 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water will remove the urge to go all the time which comes with yeast infections.

The number one remedy is changing the diet that’s feeding the yeast or any other parasites. See the “mild food (plant base diet)” page for a plant base diet. Stay off anti biotics , and be more careful in your hygiene. Chicken is full of  resistants'  antibiotic's and can harm your health.
 Men can pass yeast to women and women to men. Yes, men have yeast. It settles in their prostates. When one partner has yeast be sure your wise enough to treat the other mate. Hormones are a big factor in yeast growth, weather taking hormone pills or taking insulin that is a growth hormone. You may have to take a parasite herb continually if you are on these two products. (Aloe Vera, yogurt tables (probiotic’s, therapy, i.e.) this infection affects the young, old and pregnant women because of the hormone factors. The seniors it affects mostly because of the build up of drugs and bad eating habits over the years. Even poor dental health can be a factor. See: “Parasite” page for more ways to treat yeast continually. The most popular drug that is used, Diflucan, Fluconazol, another generic name for Nystatin, but these drugs don’t keep the yeast away, your diet will work better. No sugar or process food this will only feed the yeast!

A little knowledge simply doesn't work: The probiotic need to be quality and at least 10 different strain, for the lower and upper colon, live bacteria, and about 10 different strains, 15 billions in one serving. Their are 1,000 different strains that live in a normal gut. Buy a delayed release brand. See: Brenda Watson Book PBS (If you eat animal protein you ll nee more probiotic, fiber, ACV.) THE ROAD TO PERFECT HEALTH (GUT).
Do-it-yourself popular treatments
1. Apples Cider Vinegar with garlic - 1 Tbs. Per qt. water (Vinegar pill are good up the vagina) Baking soda in your water will also work and amazingly well. pH)
Suppositories can be made of organic wax. Use tea tree oil, acidophilus, (yogurt with active cultures) and tampons dipped in the yogurt inserted into vagina for 1 hr. or so (2 a day for two days or overnight.
2. Coconut oil, Jojoba oil, Oregano Oil, deluded of course,(best organic source), Boric acid (oo capsules) use as a suppository every night for week. Potassium sorbate (food preserver), Gentian Violet (our family favorite called it the purple people eater) order it from your pharmacist. It great for baby's thrush. Violet herb also, we called it the purple people eater after the song. You paint it on the babies tongue. And it very purple so doesn’t go any place as it clings to the yeast. Throw baby bottle nipples away and start over or you will re infect.
3. The herb men like is Pau D'Arco (inner bark) in a base of pure vegetable glyerin for treating bacterial and yeast infections and fungi. (Men have yeast! so use the same remedies.)
4. Inhibit bacteria from clinging to the lining walls anywhere. Hydrogen Peroxide 1 t. 30 % h. p. with 1 c. water, douche one a day until symptoms disappear.
5. Tea Tree oil douche 1 tsp. with 1 tsp. isopropyl (rubbing alcohol), which will turn milky. Store in dropper bottle. 10 drops to 1 pt. water. Once a day for a week.
6. Turmic, Cinnamon 1 gram a day for 30 days, cloves, Curry (curium), i.e. (all are anti fungals, especially if organically grown) see "parasite "page) GMO spices have at least 1/2 of the parasites propeties remove.)
Note for Diabetics:
7. Are you a diabetic and prone to yeast infections? Please read your instructional information under "product description “on your bottle of insulin. (Novolin) This human insulin is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing Saccharomyces cerevislas (bakers' yeast) as the production organism." Now, do you know why you're carrying a continual yeast problems? Men get this too, building up in their testicles, resulting in later impotence, and sometimes cancer. IF USING INSULIN'S (DIABETES), ANTIBIOTIC'S USE PROBIOTICS.

8. Men stay away from beer too...It's a yeast producing beverage as well as other alcoholic drinks. I'm not going to educate a re-run here. Wean off insulin...safely by changing the diet first then the insulin will down naturally.)...see the “Diabetic”, “Mild Food” and “Sugar”.
Theirs many drugs that encourage production of yeast. Read your direction on everything.
9. *Herbal douche: Equal parts Sage Comfrey leaf or raspberry (mullein if you have it) 1/4 Golden seal root. Use 4 Tbs. formula to 1 qt. boiling water. Steep 20 min. cool and strain. (Can add to 2 Tbs. cider vinegar and add 1 Tbs. acidophilus powder or to yogurt. use daily until it disappears).
10.*Acidic Douches for mild infections, 2 Tbs. vinegar with 1/2 lemon per quart of water.  (Drink Lemon water to bring the body pH bal back in line also, it will give you energy to fight off infections.)

...................................................
Here are more ideas I mostly found on the web:
" In case you want to escalate to the more powerful fungicides available over the counter in most pharmacies.
Remedies listed below are in no particular order, except that the more common ones are towards the top of the list. These treatments should clear up most candida infections; do feel free to combine 2 or 3 of them if you think you need it.
http://www.brillomag.net/Yogurt is the #1 choice of do-it-yourselfers everywhere, and is so common that even some professional medical types recommend it. Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium that also happens to be found in healthy vagina's. Acidophilus kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Most women-using yogurt to treat a yeast infection simply applies it directly to the vulva and gently injects some into the vagina by any means necessary. But how to get in there? Here’s a method suggested by one reader: put the yogurt in plastic tampon applicators and freeze them, and then you've got little yogurt-sickles to use next time you get a yeast infection. She says, "It is really cold, of course, inserting the tampon, but I find it actually soothing compared to the fires of a damn yeast infection."
*Another reader who has access to disposable gloves says she fills the fingers with yogurt and freezes them to make her yogurt -sickles. (Given that freeze-dried acidophilus tablets are available in health food stores, I’m guessing acidophilus can survive being made into a Popsicle.) Other people use syringes (with no needle!) to squirt it up there. However you do it, be sure to use plain, unflavored yogurt with no added sugar, and be double sure that it contains live acidophilus cultures (available in natural foods stores and many supermarkets). Apply once or twice a day until at least a day after your symptoms clear up. Another possibility is to insert acidophilus pills from your local supermarket or health food store (look in the refrigerated section); check and make sure the capsule is made of something soft enough to melt inside you. It appears that you may be able to get some of the same effects by eating a lot of yogurt, the idea being that some of the acidophilus will make it through your digestive system and then crawl from your anus over to where you want them, i.e., in your vagina.
Also, if you are the parent of a young child with a yeast infection and don't want to try suppositories or strong drugs, this may be your best option. Unfortunately, the production of dairy products is a definite downer from the cow's point of view, given today's factory farming methods. If you are a vegan, you may want to think about getting some of the same benefits by using acidophilus pills from a natural foods store. You can easily open up the capsules and powder your vulva with the contents, or you can mix with water and then squirt it inside or dip a tampon in it and use it that way. I bet this delivers far more acidophilus than you would get from applying yogurt. I don't know if this is really such a great solution, though: I don't know where this acidophilus comes from (how vegan is it?), and the capsules used by most companies contain gelatin, which is an animal product. Vegan is coming into popularity thanks to our youth, so ideas and things are changing. More variety in the market now.
12. http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/ericblok.htm “Garlic contains natural ant fungal substances that kill off yeast. It’s my favorite home remedy for yeast infections; I always try it first, and it usually does the trick. Find yourself a fresh clove of garlic and carefully peel all the papery skin off it. Next, make a little tampon thing by wrapping it in gauze or cheesecloth, tying the ends with un-waxed dental floss, and leaving a bit of string dangling so you'll be able to pull it out afterward. Now, believe it or not, insert it into your vagina. Don’t worry about losing it up there, because of course it can't get through your cervix. Leave it in for several hours at a time, like overnight, and be sure to remove it in the morning. For early or mild infections, night time treatments may be enough; try several nights in a row, until one day after the symptoms disappear. If your infection is more severe, put a fresh clove in every morning and every night. (I find the dry gauze painful to insert, and unnecessary. I have found that an unwrapped clove shoved up there will eventually work its way out, and even if it doesn't just fall out it can usually be expelled by bearing down and squeezing like you are trying to take a bowel movement. But don't try this unless you are willing to face the possibility of asking a friend or doctor to retrieve it later!) Most sources say to be careful not to nick the clove as you are peeling it, maybe because the juice stings some people, but I don't know anyone who has had a problem with that. If this makes you nervous, you could also try the garlic capsules that are sold as a dietary supplement in many health food stores, but be sure to get the kind with a soft coating that will dissolve inside you with the heat of you body. Either way, it's fun to try: . The downsides are that it's a fairly moderate treatment and won't work by itself for some really stubborn infections, and that a few people are allergic to garlic and can't go shoving it in their orifices without getting really sick.”
13. Tea tree oil is available in the US at many natural foods stores. A terrifically helpful woman wrote to tell me that in Italy, tea tree oil is widely used for yeast infections. She said that her pharmacist told her to coat the top half of a non-applicator type tampon with a lubricant (such as K.Y. jelly, even olive oil, coconut butter), then apply a few drops of pure tea tree oil and insert. The lubricant keeps the tea tree oil from absorbing into the tampon. She also said that she finds that the tea tree oil can sting if it comes in contact with the vulva, so she uses an applicator tampon, by just lifting off the top part of the applicator to expose the tampon, applying the K.Y. jelly and tea tree oil, and putting the tampon back into the applicator. What a great idea!
Tea tree oil is an effective anti-yeast treatment and can be used straight (see above), but needs to be highly diluted to use as a douche. Make a stock solution by combining 1-teaspoon tea tree oil with 1-teaspoon isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, which should turn milky white. Store in a dropper bottle. Make a douche by adding 10 drops of the stock solution to a pint of water, and use once a day for a week.
14. “Boric acid is a great remedy for a cockroach-ridden apartment, and it turns out to kill yeasty pests, too. Amazing. The idea is load up some size 00 capsules from a pharmacy or natural foods store with boric acid to use as suppositories*; the heat and moisture in your vagina will melt the capsules and release the boric acid. Insert 2 capsules filled with boric acid, about 600 mg total, into your vagina every night for a week. (To be extra sure, continue this treatment twice a week for the next 3 weeks.) This is a pretty strong treatment, and is capable of effectively treating even severe or persistent yeast infections. Some women find that the boric acid causes some superficial burning and discomfort for the first few days, and may cause large amounts of vaginal discharge. Discontinue use if the burning is severe or use petroleum jelly first.
15 “ Potassium sorbate" is a potent fungicide that is widely used in preserving foods, and is often used in brewing beer to stop the growth of the yeast at the correct time. Potassium sorbate is therefore available at places that sell home-brewing supplies, and at some natural foods stores. To use it, make a 3% solution by adding 8 gm (about 1 tablespoon) potassium sorbate to a cup of water. The idea is to dip a cotton tampon in the solution, insert it at bedtime, remove it in the morning, and continue this treatment for a few days until the symptoms are gone. For the life of me, I can't figure out how you'd get a soaking-wet, expanded tampon into a vagina, so I’ve never tried it. Maybe if you used a tampon in one of those horrible plastic applicators you could manage it. Another idea, suggested to me by a doctor friend, is to insert a dry tampon and then squirt a bunch of the solution up afterward, so the tampon will absorb the fluid and hold it in place. Sounds like it should work... ( a chemical supply co. may have some too and stock up there)
15. “ Gentian violet is a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections that pre-dates most modern anti-fungals and antibiotics. It used to be carried in pharmacies; some still have it, usually in the same section as iodine, and some friendly pharmacists will order it for you if you ask. The idea is to swab it all over the vulva and up into the vagina once or twice a day for a few days. Wear black clothes or use thick pads, because the stuff is brilliant purple and stains everything it touches.
16. “Cranberries are often used in treating urinary tract infections, which apparently works because the berries contain substances that inhibit bacteria from clinging to the walls of your urinary tract. It may be more for a preventive medicine for others.
Cranberries also lower the pH of your urine, which may be useful in helping combat yeast infections, since the acidic urine passes over some of your infected parts on its way out. As such, it's a pretty mild remedy, which is great if you think you may be coming down with a yeast infection: for more serious infections, it can be used in combination with other remedies. Because I can't handle the extreme sourness of the unsweetened juice, I often take small handfuls of cranberry pills (available in natural foods stores), or just dried cranberries during the entire course of a yeast infection as a supplement to other home remedies."
16. *Water: Be sure to drink lots of liquids, and use a kidney herb to keep the urine flow going. A good time to eat Mellon and lemons i.e...This is very very important.” The dilution of the poisons is a key here. (Celery Seeds for diuretic)
..............
Douches
Although douching is generally a bad idea when you are healthy, there are many effective home remedies for yeast infections that involve douching. Be careful when douching to keep the bag below your pelvis and to exert only slight pressure, as really strong pressure might drive the solution up through the cervix into the uterus. Also, be careful when inserting and removing the nozzle, as damage to the vaginal walls can lead to more serious yeast or bacterial infections. They now have cute ready made one in your pharmacy that I throw away their solutions and do my own. (Just a thought, in third world countries where they don't have much they are advised by health missionaries to use 1 tsp clorox to quart of water and douch.)
17. Hydrogen peroxide is produced naturally by bacteria in your vagina, and kills yeast. If the bacteria aren't doing enough by themselves, try mixing 1 teaspoon of ordinary 3% hydrogen peroxide from your market or pharmacy with 1 cup of water. Use as a douche once a day until the day your symptoms disappear.
FORMULA; http://www.herbmed.org/Herbaldouche: this one's a little complicated, but apparently worth the trouble. Combine equal parts sage, raspberry or comfrey leaf and mullein (optional), with 1/4 part Goldenseal root. Then make a tea using 4 tablespoons of the herb mixture and a quart of boiling water. Steep for 15-20 minutes, remove the herbs, and let cool to at least body temperature. Then add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, and if you want to really go all-out, add 1 tablespoon acidophilus powder or ¼ cup yogurt for milder infections, douche every other day until a day after symptoms disappear; for more severe infections, use daily.
17. Acidic douches restore the natural pH of the vagina, which is relatively inhospitable to yeast. Try making a solution with 2 tablespoon of white or cider vinegar, or the juice of half a lemon, or 1-teaspoon vitamin C, per quart of water. Use every day to treat mild infections, or in combinations with other treatments for more severe infections.
Temporary Itch Relief; Besides AZO over the counter herbs: To relieve vulva itching, try making a paste of Slippery Elm powder and a little water, and then apply as needed. Another option is to keep Aloe Vera juice in the fridge, and then soak a cotton pad in it and apply it to your vulva as needed. Slippery Elm or Aloe will only relieve itching, though, and won't kill yeast, so they must be combined with an ant fungal treatment to really stop the problem. Use Aloe Vera tablets or/and yogurt tables every day if you’re prone to yeast infections. Golden Seal Root made into a suave will stop itching. Diabetic heal slowly (skin wounds) because of the decreased collagen. Also note Aloe gel is shown to enhance wound healing in a study experimented on induced skin wounds in diabetic rats enhancing the wound healing.(Science New)
18. Doug Kaufmanns book on yeast is one of the best. Infectious Diabetes and I can’t remember the others. “The Fungus Link”  He suggest Olive Leaf Extract 500 mg daily increasing to 2,000 mg., which is 2 grams. I’m just trying to point out it seems to take a lot to eradicate yeast from herbs. And you have to be faithful everyday to taking herbs with lot lots of water with any yeast infection. I like to rotate diffrent parasital herbs too.

Golden rule: DILUTE THE POISON! Really, does a man know about "female" problems? Get real! He reads the yeast information of women than passes it as his with a bill for the office visit and his book. The younger they are the more hilarious they are.
See: http://www.p-73.com/ for Dr. Cass Ingram’s work in this area with Mt. Wild Oregano Oil. I really like some of this man’s work so I will refer his book to get the correct dosage. Although If you just dab a bit of the oil (diluted, or wipe of some on the tip of your finger and put it about the vulva, it works) Many herbs work on the outside especially on or in orifices. (patches, gauze, cotton balls, i.e!!!) but you need to get rid of the yeast inside too for about 7-14 days faithfully)


Homemade Yogurt recipe is 3 tbs. to 1-quart milk. Use 3 tbs. of a good start by using the best culture in a commercial yogurt (Kefir or Mountain-High i.e.) Stir, then pour into a glass container and cover. 1 quart Mason jar or smaller and place the jars in warm water that are continually kept at 110-115 degrees for 3 hours.
