18 of Nature’s Most Powerful Medicinal Plants
« on: June 20, 2012, 06:19:49 AM »
One of my goals is to collect a lot of these and have them growing on the 'stead. I have a few of them now and I will get more going.

18 of Nature’s Most Powerful Medicinal Plants

I read more about some of them. Note--do not plant feverfew in an area you want bees to congregate for pollinating some of your crops. Bees do NOT like them. In fact...it is best to plant it an area you want to keep insects away from.

Another note on Tansy. This plant is also known of as "Bachelor buttons." In some parts it is known of as the "cow killer" as it really can make livestock very sick if they eat it. It can be very toxic if ingested in large amounts. So you may not want to grow it if you are living in a rural area; the neighbors won't be too happy with you. It is a good idea to read more than one article to get information on any of these herbs.

No mention of comfrey (also called "knitbone").  Good for poultices when there's damage to bones and joints, but don't take it internally.

Ginger is another one that isn't mentioned.  While it's not at all hardy, it should be possible to get a summer crop in most temperate climates.  Grow like potatoes.  Ginger settles the stomach, and also cuts mucus.  I've used ginger tea several times to treat felines with respiratory problems (the common cold is often fatal in cats).
I've given up on waiting for other people to get it.  Now, I'm waiting for it to get them.

GREAT TOPIC

but I can't open the link

MM is obviously a freaking pharmacopia in and of itself - a freaking miracle med if ever there was one - its ancient sacred medicine

stupid govco yada, yada

get real, its also an illegal drug in the USA

until its not - fed trumps states rights  (sorry)

until they change the laws, I wouldn't be holding up a sign and/or be doing anything that might bring unwarranted attention

"the walls have ears"

so lets all get public about pro mm here - I'm sure jock and sd don't mind (did anyone even bother to ask them?) or all the other members?

until then I'd chill on the mm stuff

yeah I know but...  not on the doomer boards - its not a smart move 

get over it

it kinda makes us all guilty by association - I didn't sign up for that/you are not giving us a choice

sorry but i'm a tad paranoid these days as it is

I hereby recommend that MM references AND ALL REC DRUG discussions be verbotten - CONSIDERED TABOO - otherwise we're gonna draw more unwelcome attention (SORRY)

or perhaps its just time I move on from here - I don't feel safe (the computers didn't say anything bad about me - they let me out of the country and they even let me back in) 

*actually harder to get back in if you loose your passport while on vacation

PEACE AND GLWT

preppers and survivalists are being targeted now as potential domestic terrorists - esp in reaction to recent shootings in colorado - anyone with 5000 rounds is suspect

*(where the hell this kid get the money for all this gear and ammo anyway)

something is not right about this - this guy likely had a partner

or he was being used by someone)

he could be a patsy

but lets be clear

doomers are targets because we dislike govco/mainstream BAU (and we often speak truth to power), have enormous stocks and supplies beyond what most humans could consider normal 

and in case you missed the memo, doomers are by definition a little odd to begin with most of us have some deep psychological/emotional wounds we are trying our best to work through

but lets not be totally stupid

boo hoo, get over it

*I TELL YOU HONESTLY they almost didn't let me travel into canada (recent vacation) cause I was carrying too many emergency medical supplies (wtf) - good thing I persuaded them I was a first responder and of course being able to show proof that I was a nurse helped   


but low profile and heeding heads up warnings is part of being a good doomer = FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE

we need everyone on the same page or one major screw up HERE could drag us all down 

lets see how smart doomers can be instead of wearing targets on our backs

lets instead talk peace and love - act sincere

you may even start to believe it after a while, what could it hurt?

so here's a challenge

see if you can go five minutes without utterring or thinking one negative thought

bet ya a silver eagle you can't (of course you owe me one if I'm right)

doomer honor code - have integrity (not worth lying and loosing your soul over a silver eagle)

(pm me with results)

requires you write a paragraph describing what you were thinking about during those five minutes 


anyway (haven't had coffee yet)

please define what they mean by "powerful" as in most potent per dose?  most concentrated active ingredient etc.?
