Wild yam and smilax (Dioscorea spp)

Most wild yams and smilax are very chemically similar and have the same benefits. They have been found to have antibiotic properties especially against staph infection. They inhibit many pathways Covid and herpes use to infect cells. They have been shown to reduce the symptoms of gout and joint inflammation by reducing uric acid levels.. Also domesticated sweet potatoes are chemically very similar. Wild yams have been shown to reduce the symptoms if arthritis. They have anti-inflammatory properties and are cardioprotective. They have been shown to reduce gut inflammation and prevent the damage caused by infections including corona. Dioscorea Batatas I would avoid it stimulates TLR4 which is overexpressed in Crohn’s , interstitial cystitis , Corona and herpes infections. Wild yam species have potent antioxidant properties. Wild yam inhibits the effects of endotoxins. They inhibit coagulation and fibrin pathways which would prevent excess blood clotting. I cannot find research to support this but many use it to prevent muscle spasms, and uterine spasms and contractions. Dioscorea villosa is the most researched and most used. It has been found to reduce candida overgrowth and bacteria infection in the gut. It helps prevent liver fibrosis so would help with fatty liver disease. It helps prevent the negative effects caused by endotoxins. It protects from endotoxemia induced brain injury. It also increases expression of genes inhibited by herpes and other RNA viruses. It increases beta oxidation which would improve mitochondrial function. It also helps prevent diabetes by improving pancreatic function. Wild yam increases 5-HT which gives it , it’s antidepressant effects. It is supposedly effective against breast cancer but I am skeptic of cancer curing claims because the cause of the cancer should also be addressed and often times in those studies that has not been determined and addressed.

Dandelion (Taraxacum spp)

There are many species of dandelion and most are very chemically similar and have the same benefits. Dandelion stimulates DIG1 which detoxes glyphosate and organophosphates from the body. Those are found in high levels in our foods and contribute to autoimmunity, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Dandelion has been found to protect from liver damage. Dandelion has been found to be very effective against a variety of types of cancer. Dandelion is very high in nutrients. Dandelion has very potent antiviral properties. Dandelion protects the liver because it has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been found to inhibit the hepatitis B virus. It inhibits mTorc which means it would prevent premature aging and also inhibit herpes virus replication. It helps with gut inflammation and interstitial cystitis because it inhibits NLRP3, NLRP3 is over expressed in IC and inflammatory bowel diseases. Dandelion helps to reduce endotoxins in the body and reduce the symptoms of sepsis. Dandelion improves bile flow and digestion. Dandelion contains latex which can cause a person who has leaky gut to react. I did react to it when I first started using it but I continued to use it in slow amounts and it eventually started healing me because the effects it has on healing the gut. Once my gut was healed I stopped reacting to things that contained latex like avocado and dandelion. Dandelion reduces inflammatory cytokines found in sepsis, Covid , herpes and many other infections. It helps prevent iron overload in the body. Dandelion prevents glutamate toxicity in the brain and activates NRF2 which is the master regulator of the antioxidant system. Dandelion has been found to inhibit RNA viruses like HIV. Dandelion has been shown to both protect from the effects of the endotoxins from bacteria infection and to have antibacterial properties. Most herbs that work against HIV and Covid will also work against herpes viruses.

Self Heal (prunella vulgaris)

It has strong antiviral properties. It reduces inflammation in the gut and helps prevent autoimmunity by stabilizing the immune system by increasing T regulatory cells. It has very potent antioxidant properties and very potent anti-inflammatory properties. Self heal does not prevent viruses from entering cells it shortens their life cycle before they enter cells. It inhibits a viruses ability to replicate. It has been found to inhibit HIV replication. Because of it’s potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects it improves liver function. It contains Rosmarinic acid which has found to be as effective as NSAIDs at reducing inflammation. It prevents Sars-Covid virus infection by inhibiting it’s ability to attach to the ACE2 receptor. Self heal is probably one of the most potent antivirals it works on many types of viruses including herpes. Self Heal improves thyroid and lymphatic health.

St Johns wort (hypericum perforatum)

There are many species of St Johns wort but they are chemically similar so should have the same properties as those studied. Reduces gut inflammation and helps to heal gastric ulcers. Helps with system inflammation by reducing most types of inflammatory cytokines. Viruses like Covid and Herpes use inflammation to stealth from the immune system. It has shown to reduce the length of a flu infection and has been shown to inhibit HIV replication. It also is effective at helping with herpes because it increases type 1 interferon which is inhibited by herpes viruses so they can protect themselves. Type 1 interferon kills RNA type viruses and most RNA viruses inhibit it. It increases beta oxidation which would help with diabetes and obesity. St Johns wort also restores function to many pathways that are inhibited by Covid and herpes. The flowers have antidepressant properties this is why I forage it when the plant is flowering. St Johns Wort activates many antiviral pathways will helping to balance the immune system. It is a very good alternative to NSAIDs. It helps to prevent Alzheimers because it inhibits the formation of B-amyloid plaque. St Johns wort improve pancreatic function and health. It increases the production of adiponection which is low in those who have diabetes and are obese. It improves insulin and glucose levels in the body. St Johns wort improves liver and kidney function. Because of it’s potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties it helps to prevent cancer.
Because of it’s sedative like effects it should not be taken when driving or operating any dangerous machinery. I would recommend taking this one at night when a person would not be involved in activities that could cause harm to themselves or others. It activates the PXR receptor which is the primary xenobiotic receptor in the body. Xenobiotics are environmental toxins and carcinogenic hormones that can cause endocrine disruption and hormone imbalance. Increased PXR expression would increase the detoxing of xenobiotics by increasing Phase 2 detox enzymes. Increased PXR expression also reduces gut inflammation. PXR activation reduces expression of TLR4 which is overexpressed in many inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel and interstitial cystitis. PXR increased expression protects from DNA damage.

Excessive use of St Johns wort can cause excess bleeding because it do prevent blood clotting. It can also make one more sensitive to sunlight. It helps to prevent adrenal over activation. Stress and sepsis can induce changes in the brain that can cause a person to get stuck in fight or flight mode. St Johns wort helps to reverse those changes and normalize the function of the HPA. St Johns wort has been found to improve the health of the blood brain barrier.
Using high doses of St Johns wort can cause temporary tachycardia. St Johns wort is an MAO-A and B inhibitor. This is how it reduces anxiety but it can cause increased tyramine levels. Consumption of tryptophan while using St Johns wort can cause serotonin syndrome which increases body temperature, causes night sweating, dilated pupils and diarrhea. It can also increase blood pressure. This is why I believe it should be used in low dose to prevent side effects.

Rhubarb root. (rheum Spp)

There are many varieties of rhubarb. The root is the part I will be focusing on because it contains emodin which is one of the few substances that will help with interstitial cystitis and Crohn’s disease. Rhubarb root also prevents herpes viruses from hijacking the mitochondria. It has very potent anti-inflammatory properties. It prevent fibrosis in the liver and lungs. Rhubarb root reduces inflammation in the gut. Rhubarb root has been found to balance the immune system. It helps normalize the gut microbial balance. It increases IgA which is low in interstitial cystitis and Crohn’s disease and many autoimmune disease. It helps restore proper T regulatory cell function. It has been shown to improve pancreatic function and health . Rhubarb root dramatically reduces the symptoms of sepsis. It should be pulsed because over use can increase risk of certain types of cancer and can be hepatoxic. This can occur with many nutrients so do not use in super high doses or excessively. I have seen people prescribed 50,000 IU of vitamin D. This causes kidneys stones and causes the vitamin D receptor to become inhibited which causes many health issues. Balance is the key to healing. More does not mean better. Rhubarb extract prevents osteoporosis. Rhubarb root improves kidney function. Rhubarb extract inhibits just about all the inflammatory cytokines found in sepsis , Sars-Covid infection and herpes infections. Rhubarb root improves kidney and liver function. Rhubarb root when used in moderation is safe to use long term. It has been shown to reduce the symptoms of menopause. Over all it looks like rhubarb root would be great at helping with and preventing autoimmunity.

Rhubbarb root (Rheum spp)

Rhubarb root has a broad rang of antibacterial properties.

I low doses it improves kidney function but in very high doses it can damage the kidneys. It has been shown to protect the body from many toxins. It reduces free radicals in the body which improves DNA function and prevents DNA damage.

Rhumbarb root improves glycolysis which would prevent accumulation of fat in the liver and would prevent obesity. It also improves liver function. When used in moderation it helps to prevent liver fibrosis.

It does stimulate the immune system so those whose immune system is already over active may want to be careful using rhubbarb root. It is unlikely it would cause a problem though because it does inhibit many receptors that are over-expressed in autoimmunity. It does increase TH2 expression so those who are TH2 dominant may want to use caution in using Rhubarb root.

It contains emodin which inhibits NLRP3. NLRP3 is over activated in interstitial cystitis and Crohn’s disease so it may help with those illnesses. Emodin also inhibits MAO B, this would help with Parkinson’s because it would prevent the body from breaking down dopamine. Inhibition of NLRP3 also prevents lung inflammation. Aloe vera also contains emodin.

Emodin in rhubarb root inhibits the Sars-Covid virus and also inhibits it’s ability to interact with the ACE2 receptor so may prevent Covid infection. Emodin has been found to be effective against many other types of viruses. Rhubarb root has also been found to inhibit many herpes viruses.

Emodin is also cardioprotective because it increases nitric oxide levels.

Rhubbarb root inhibits MCF-7 which can help with certain types of breast cancer.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7601677/
Emodin found in rhubarb root has been found to decrease the inflammatory cytokines found in sepsis , inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease.

Emodin in rhubarb root inhibits intracellular influx of Calcium which prevents mast cell degranulation which would prevent high histamine levels. This can help with autoimmune diseases like asthma, lupus, psoriasis and many others. Also excess calcium in the cells can inhibit beta oxidation which can cause diabetes and obesity. Beta oxidation is how the body burns fat to create energy for the body. Emodin also increase browning of fat cells which prevents insulin resistance and obesity. Rhubarb root also increase the butyrate producing bacteria which helps to prevent obesity.

Emodin prevents the over activation of the NMDA receptor and other receptors in the brain. It is neuroprotective so can reduce the occurrence of seizures. It improves the function of the adrenals and many other areas of the brain. It prevents damage in the brain from excess glutamate. It also decreases the perception of pain so it would reduce pain in the body.

As stated earlier taking high doses of rhubarb root can have the opposite effects and actually damage the liver. It can also cause diarrhea, stomach cramping, It can also make the urine darker colored and even brown color.

Houttuynia cordata (chinese lizard tail)

Has antiviral properties and has been found to inhibit the herpes viruses replication. It helps prevent mast cell degranulation which would prevent high histamines. It inhibits more inflammatory cytokines then NSAIDs do. It has been found to significantly reduce Sars-Covid infection. It has been shown to help prevent obesity and high triglycerides. It improves the detoxification of xenobiotics which have been linked to many types of cancer and hormone issues. It has been shown to help prevent insulin resistance which causes type 2 diabetes. The eye drops have been found to be effective against dry eye disease. It has been found to help with certain types of cancer like prostate cancer. It has very potent antioxidant properties.

I could find no valid side effects except when it has been directly injected into the blood stream. Not a wise move. Also I found sites sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry that made ridiculous claims and there was no science to back them. You could see the pharmaceutical ads all over the websites making the claims I searched many websites on the toxicity of of houttuynia and found nothing worth noting.

Turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor)

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

I am writing this for educational purposes this is not medical advice. If you are ill please seek the aid of a knowledgeable and experienced functional medicine practictioner.

Turkey tail mushrooms are anti-inflammatory. It stimulates the immune system and has been shown to fight a variety of viral infections including the flu, cold , covid and inhibits herpes viruses. It stimulates the immune system. It inhibits many types of cancer. I can say I used it for a cold and it knocked it out of me overnight but made me sweat like crazy. It has been shown to be effective against HPV. If you accidentally pick false turkey tail it is ok it has many of the same benefits and possibly more so then turkey tail mushroom. Now to be honest until I see a study I cannot say I would recommend it with someone who has autoimmunity but it does inhibit PARP meaning it would prevent herpes viruses and covid from effecting the mitochondria. It increases cytochrome C so it would help improve mitochondrial respiration. It also is a COX-2 inhibitor which means it would reduce inflammation similar to how an NSAID would. It does increase IL-6 and Interferon gamma which is high in herpes infection and Covid so I would recommend this be used for those after the systemic inflammation has been addressed. It is an ACHe inhibitor so would reduce the symptoms of Alzheimers.

Benefits of reishi mushroom.

Reishi mushroom (ganoderma lucidem)

Has been shown to promote longevity. It stimulates the immune system. It is hepaprotective and has antioxidant properties. Has been shown to prevent many types of cancer. It increases IL-6, TNF-a and interferon gamma so may not be good for those who have a herpes virus infections because herpes causes an upregulation of IL-6 , TNF-a and INF Y. The antioxidant properties of Reishi mushroom mimics superoxide dismutase one of the most potent antioxidants in the body.

Reishi mushroom has been shown to have potent inhibitory properties against herpes viruses but in my opinion I would not use it until inflammation and oxidative stress were addressed. It has been shown to be effective against many types of gut infections. It helps with diabetes by reducing oxidative stress. It has been found to reduce aches and pains in the body. It has been shown to increase blood oxygen levels and improve asthma. It increases nerve growth factor which improves brain function. It boost energy levels and prevents depression and anxiety. Has been shown to prevent insulin resistance.

Side effects are itchy or dry mouth, bloody stools and other digestive issues. It should be used in moderation. Balance is the key to healing. It can cause insomnia and liver damage. Almost any nutrient in high amounts will have side effects and can cause damage to the body.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

This is not medical advice I am writing this for educational purposes. If you are ill find an experienced and qualified functional medicine practitioner. What may be beneficial for one person may be harmful to others.

Lemon Balm (melissa officinalis)

Has been shown to help dramatically reduce the outbreak of herpes. Those who have used ointments made from it rarely had a another occurrence of an outbreak. It is a potent helicase inhibitor which means it prevents viruses from being able to attach to the cells. It helps with many types of skin disorders. It contains many phytochemicals that are cardioprotective. It has potent antioxidant properties which would decrease the risk of cancer. It has sedative and anti depressive effects so would be best to use at night.

Lemon balm has been found to be more potent then ivermection at inhibiting the Sars-Covid virus from replicating. It has been found to be very effective against the herpes viruses.

Lemon Balm reduces anxiety and improves sleep quality. It inhibits the break down of GABA. It helps prevent uterine spasms and reduces the severity of menstruation. It helps to reduce the symptoms and progression of Alzheimer’s. It helps improve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes by improving glucose levels. It has potent anti-inflammatory properties.

It has been shown to be very effective against Candida overgrowth.

Lemon balm helps to protect the DNA from damage because of it’s potent antioxidant effects.

Lemon Balm also improves blood vessel health which has been shown to improve the health of the skin.

Those with high GABA levels should not take Lemon Balm.

Lemon balm has been shown to improve thyroid function.

Those who eat GMOs will have high levels of organophosphates and glyphosate in their bodies. Those are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. These ones should avoid consuming Lemon Balm it will make their symptoms worse. Most studies show it would improve the symptoms of people who have these in their symptoms. Because of their effects on the nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. But one study seems to show it Lemon balm has acetycholinesterase inhibiting properties.

High levels of consumption seems to be safe.

How has so many become so ill and what can they do about it?

June 1, 2021December 16, 2022LeeLeave a comment

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am a lousy editor.

Diabetes, lupus, psoriasis , heart disease and many other illnesses can be linked to CIRS. CIRS stands for chronic inflammatory response syndrome. It can be corrected but takes time. Modern medicine is usually the cause and they only know how to treat the symptoms. Functional medicine addresses the cause of the illness. We have to consider the fact that medical error is the number one cause of death in the world. Then add to that that only 1% of adverse reactions to vaccines get reported and almost no adverse reactions to medications get reported meaning modern medicine is most likely the number one cause of death in the world. Not counting the deaths of those who died very slow deaths from the autoimmune diseases , diabetes or cardiovascular diseases they have caused. Once the stage is set for someone to develop chronic inflammatory response syndrome it is a very very difficult thing to break. It takes a very knowledgeable functional medicine practitioner to help someone to heal. Modern medicine only treats the symptoms because treating the cause is not profitable. If a customers is healthy they are a lost customer. If these things are not addressed things can easily get set in motion that can result in a persons health rapidly declining resulting in them becoming bedridden or dying.

The Covid vaccines are injuring so many people causing so many deaths the things I mention in here will pale in comparison to the number of deaths and juries caused. The said things is most medical professionals are sweeping the Covid vaccine injured under the carpet won’t even acknowledge the injury they caused. There are tens of thousands of case reports of injury mostly from cardiovascular injury, strokes from the excess blood clotting and autoimmunity. They have always ignored vaccine injury and with the Covid vaccine it is much much worse. They are gas lighting the victims worse then I have ever seen before. Now imagine someone already has a comorbidity from the things I mention below and then they get the Covid vaccine has been documented tens of thousands of times to cause death and severe injury. Their chances of dying from the vaccine will dramatically increase.

GMO foods without the glyphosate have been shown to harm the gut. Once the gut is damaged it sets off an inflammatory response throught the body. When they access the harm BT Toxin causes most studies will use the BT protein from the bacteria in their studies but many studies have shown the proteins in the GMO products is different making those studies invalid. The body reacts to these BT Toxins in GMOs the same way it would if a person had food poisoning this sets another domino up to put things in motion for a person to develop CIRS. Many toxins in our foods are inflammatory especially processed sugar. Once this inflammatory process gets set in motion all that needs to occur is for someone to get an infectious disease especially tick born illness , or to be in constant contact with mold and it will set the dominos in motion and it is very difficult to set them back up. What I am trying to say many things start going wrong in the body setting off other problems.

Toxins in our food like glyphosate, antibiotics and other medications cause gut dysbiosis which lead to inflammation. Keep in mind inflammation can lead to dibetes, fatty liver disease, asthma, allergies, food sensitivities are all symptoms of inflammation and immune dysfunction. It means the scales are tipped in favor of the figurative dominos to fall causing a person to become very very ill. This also makes a person more prone to chronic illness and even death from infectious diseases, toxins and even stress which in it self can set things in motion for a person to develop CIRS.

The longer a person goes the more difficult the problems become to correct and the longer the recovery time is. This is why when some of the first signs like prediabetes, vaccine injury , allergies, food sensitivities should be addressed by a functional medicine practitioner before they reach a point that other dominos start falling. When it reaches the point of a person having CIRS the recovery becomes a long expensive and complicated road to navigate.

Their is a reason tick born illness and mold illness are rampant now. I know people who live in severe mold and have no signs of ill health. This makes you wonder why can they tolerate mold while others cannot. I have seen people who have been bitten buy disease carrying insect and they suffered no ill health effects and they never seemed to get ill. We have to ask ourselves why do these people seem immune while others get very sick? Why is chronic illness rampant now. People are doing what the pharmaceutical industry , medical industry and our government entities are saying we need to do in order to be healthy and people are becoming sicker. Studies have shown up to 80% of the population in the United States is on some form of medication. Why is this happening. Why are children so sick now days. Visits to the doctors office are much more common now. When I was younger people rarely had to see a doctor. What has changed? Our environment, our food and modern medicine is destroying everyone’s health. Functional medicine restores health it does not treat the symptoms. Modern medicine has created enough customers that functional medical practitioners do not have to worry about running out of customers so they treat the cause instead of the symptoms. You either pay for allopathic medicine to makes you sicker while staying on a medical hamster wheel or you could find a functional medical practitioner who will help you get off the medical hamster wheel. If you look at things more deeply you will see those who died from Sars-Covid had comordities which involved the very things caused by the toxic foods and pharmaceutical industry. Even though Sars-Covid turned out to be less deadly then getting the flu , many people still died. Many people are dying from infectious agents that used to pose no threat to humans now. Why are people becoming so susceptible to infection now. If modern medicine is so effective shouldn’t people be getting healthier instead of sicker?

I did a blog post that has information on how to get off the medical hamster wheel that modern medicine gets people on to fatten their pockets. I also give more information about CIRS and I have information on how to find a functional medicine practitioner.

Vaccine induced CIRS is called Post inflammatory syndrome or ASIA syndrome. It is also referred to as transverse myelitis.

There is something much bigger then climate change we should be worrying about.

November 24, 2019March 31, 2020Lee1 Comment

Pollution

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

We have a crisis but it is not global climate change. It is far worse, it makes most world problems seem mild. Our food supply is going to collapse at the rate things are going. The destruction of the circle of life that keeps our food supply going is collapsing at an alarming rate. The toxins man is dumping into our environment is destroying our water ways, the oceans and even our air. This is effecting the fish and amphibian populations which other animals in the food chain consume. We have lost many species of insects especially ones that pollinate are being driven to extinction. Many farmers now have to rent bees and those who own the bees will not rent to ones who use chemicals because the farm chemicals are destroying our pollinators.

The biotech industry is creating the very problem they are falsely claiming to be solving. They claim they are increasing productivity and reducing chemical usage but in actuality they are increasing the use of them. They are causing super plants to arise that are immune to current chemicals so their strength and the amounts used has to be increased. Insect that the plants are supposed to be resistant to are becoming resistant to the toxins the shot gunned into the genes of the plants so they are having to make the plants more and more toxic. Not only that but the farm chemicals being used have been found to have a dramatic negative impact on the health of those consuming the foods that contain them. The BT Toxins that are found in the genes of GMO foods have been found to cause the body to react in a way similar to how it would react if a person had food poisoning. It is why digestive diseases are rampant right now. The farm chemicals are known to cause autoimmunity , cancer, diabetes and many other illnesses. Now combine this with the effects of vaccines which are known to damage the body 100% of the time. They claim the body recovers from the damage they do but add that with the damage being caused by the toxins in our food and environment. The United States has the highest infant mortality rate in the industrialized world. Our children are the sickest in the world. We need to start asking why?

There are microbes in our oceans that regulate our climate. Those are being destroyed by the toxins we are dumping into them. We consume the sea food from those oceans but populations of the things we eat are rapidly declining and ones that have not declined have become so toxic we have to limit what we consume or even avoid them altogether.

GMOs have been found to produce less and if they do get comparable production they have been found to be lacking in nutrients because the chemicals they use on them chelates important minerals from the soil and from the bodies of those who consume the foods containing those chemicals. Not only that but they also destroy the microbes plants need to take up nutrient farther reducing the nutrient content of the plants. Now combine that with over farming and the foods produced have very little nutritional value. The government hides the harm being done. They only care about power and money. Not only have they worked to hide the harm being done they have increased the levels of toxins they permit people to use. GMOs and over processing of foods have made it so most of our food is just filler and has very little nutritional content which is most likely contributing to obesity because food is not inflammatory which is known to cause obesity and a person has to eat more of it to get the nutrients they need.

Because the biotech industry has pretty much taken over the education on methods of farming children are indoctrinated to believe that they will make more profit and have better production with GMOs even though the opposite has been shown to be true. Those who use safer non chemical methods of farming get higher production with foods that taste better and have much higher nutritional content and it cost much less to produce.

Many scientist have estimated that the damage we are causing to our soil and water will cause us to lose the ability to produce food within a few decades.

Greed has made people easy to deceive into using less profitable and harmful farming methods. With the modern farming practices it is not a matter of if our food supply collapse but a matter of when it collapses. Once the extinction of our pollinators has occurred there is no recovering because they cannot be replaced. Once an insect or animal that pollinates has become extinct we cannot replace them. Man is trying to develop methods of pollinating because we are so close to losing our pollinators for good. We know how that goes, when man intervenes we usually mess things up even more. They do not want people to take note that this is occurring because the corrupt pharmaceutical industries own the biotech industries and they stand to lose billions if people take note of these things. I wouldn’t doubt if they are the ones promoting the climate scare and the false information claiming that GMOs increase food production and will end hunger.

Now ad this to the fact that people spray chemicals to kill the plants these bees use for a food source. Dandelions are one of the first foods bees have access to in the spring and most will spray chemicals to kill dandelions and other wild flowers needed by our pollinators.

These chemicals are killing amphibians, fish , shell fish and many other creatures. Other animals rely on those for food. Their destruction causes a break in the food cycle. So this even effects our access to animals as a source of nutrition. With man working against the earth we have a food supply very very near collapse. Once those creatures are gone they are gone and there will be no way to produce the amounts of food we do now days.

Farm chemicals and pollution are destroying the mycelium which is the planets neural network. When it collapses so does many eco systems. This causes a collapse of our food supply it has reach what seems to be a point of no return. Studies have found that organic farming produces food with increased nutrient levels and increased production. Studies have also shown organic farming is less costly when done properly. There are many studies showing the importance of the mycelium but very few if any studies showing what the destruction of the mycelium will result in. I do know from personal experience that soil lacking the mycelium layer grows very low quality if any plants life.

9 Bad Habits that are Destroying our Environment

Acorn Flour Cookies and Acorn Coffee.

November 8, 2018November 9, 2018LeeLeave a comment

Here is a very good article on leeching tannins from acorns.

https://www.rootsimple.com/2013/10/advanced-acorn-processing/

These are good cookies i loved them. I put peanut butter on the cookies but you could put it in them. I used a coarser flour for these ones and they seemed too gritty. I wanted to see how they tasted with a coarser flour. Grinding the flour so it is finer seems to give you more flavor. These come out with a slight chocolate like taste.

2 Cups Acorn flower – finely ground and sifted of any impurities for a smooth chocolate or more coarse for a nutty texture. Dry roast it on a cookie sheet in the oven at 200 until dark almost chocolate colored. I heated the flour I made the cookies in the pictures from for too long and they came out with a slight bitter taste. They taste better if you roast them a little lighter.

½ cup of honey or other sweetener.

½ cup of peanut butter.

2/3 cup of coconut oil, ghee, butter or another kind of fat. If you use the peanut butter in the cookie instead of on it then use a little less fat.

Just a dash of sea salt.
Combine sugar, milk and the fat source you have chosen in a pan along with the salt and if you choose to put the peanut butter in the cookie instead of on it then also put it in the pan. Cook on low heat until the moisture is gone then add the flour you roasted and stir. When mixed well use a tablespoon to drop onto a greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate , I hope you enjoy them.

Acorn Coffee.

To make the coffee grind some nuts up in a coffee grinder then put on a cookie sheet and roast them in the oven on 250 until they are brown for light coffee. For a stronger coffee roast them at 300. I do not know the timing because I go by sight. The coffee in the picture is a light coffee. It has a slight nutty flavor.

Very good DIY insect repellant.

I have read the research on this and it has been shown to work 10 times better then DEET. When I spray it on no insects bother me. With biting insects carrying so many diseases and the CDC corruption causing Lyme to become epidemic it is a good idea to prevent illness by doing your best to avoid getting bit by any insects.

Make tea with catnip. About a table spoon per cup of water and a pinch of rose mary and cloves . To extent the amount of time it is effective add vanilla.

To make it for plants in the garden which I have used it for that also and it is very effective. Do the above mentioned things and then add the things below.

Smash a few cloves of garlic per gallon of water. Add a pinch of clove per cup of water. It doubles the time it is affective. Add ceyanne pepper. If you use the spray on your person you may want to leave the cayenne pepper out. If you have mold problems I found chelated copper works great. About 1 cap per 2 gallons of water worked great. Works great on people or in the garden. Mugwort also helps prevent mold on plants so you could add some tea made from mugwort to it.

Herbs that help with infection.

August 12, 2018August 13, 2018Lee2 Comments

This is not medical advice , I am posting this for educational and informational purposes.

This is a list of things that help with infection. I have literally seen hundreds of studies showing vaccines make pathogens more virulent. Knowing pathogens are going to become more deadly we need to learn how to protect ourselves. Almost all we were taught about germs is wrong. If you read my post on things science has wrong you will see that germ theory and terrain theory are wrong and have been proven to be wrong. Yet almost all modern day science is based on a theory that has repeatedly been proven wrong. This makes most modern day research to be flawed from the start. So we need to seek answers ourselves because if we do not we will not find them because modern science has headed the same direction it often times does in history. It has become corrupted by the greedy and power hungry. This results in the promotion of science that is very very flawed. If you also read my post on it is not your genes it is your gut you will also see flaws in other areas of science. I even discuss how the immune system really works.

I find Buhner’s list of herbs to be the most effective and safest of those I have seen listed.

If possible it is good to breast feed infants, it protects them from infection.

https://www.naturalnews.com/053203_human_breast_milk_drug-resistant_superbugs_antibiotics.html

I do not believe in kissing an infant on the lips. There are valid reasons for this and people get angry when I mention it but the babies depend on us to protect them. What if someone who kisses the baby on the lips has been recently vaccinated. There is a good chance they are carrying a mycoplasma because vaccine have been shown to be contaminated with mycoplasma. Also vaccines have been shown to cause more virulent diseases to form. Those could be transmitted to the infant thus endangering their life.

Before treating an infection you should read my post on endotoxemia to avoid developing sepsis.

Often times infections can be linked to a vitamin deficiency. For example respiratory infection has been shown in many studies to be linked to a vitamin D deficiency. Now days this could also indicate high mercury or high glyphosate levels because they interfere with our bodies ability to convert vitamin D. In those instances vitamin D3 may help. Do not take excessive amounts of vitamin D. Anything over 4000 IU can cause oxalates to form which are very harmful to the body. I have posted on that.

https://www.bmj.com/content/356/bmj.i6583

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29569355

Vitamin D deficiency puts us at a higher risk for getting TB.

https://www.e-epih.org/journal/view.php?doi=10.4178/epih.e2018035

Vitamin A deficiency dramatically increase our risk of infection and immune dysfunction. This is one vitamin we want to achieve homeostasis with though because excess amounts can lead to increased risk of cancer. It is best to try and get your vitamins from food sources when possible.

Many nutrient deficiencies have been linked to increased infection especially vitamin B6.

Low selenium levels may make us more susceptible to viral infection.

There are instances were minerals will feed microbes for example zinc feeds the pathogenicity of Salmonella.

I have posted on oxidative stress. Redox homeostasis is very important in preventing infection and the damage caused by infection.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25401329

http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/18/11/2459

This is why it is important to get the nutrients needed to support the production of metallothionein.

Cholesterol is needed by the immune system. If we are deficient it can result in immune dysfunction. Since cholesterol is and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory it stands to reason we would suffer ill health effects when deficient in cholesterol.

https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article/96/12/927/1533176

Cholesterol is needed to produce the hormones we need to protect us from viral infections. This is why if we have issues that cause our production of thiols to be inhibited like high mercury, high glyphosate, high glufosinate or high oxalate levels we need to address them so the body can produce what we need to fight infection.

We need fats to fight infection. Our cells are made up of a lipid layer. If we do not get enough fat our cells become easier targets for infection.

http://iai.asm.org/content/83/2/514.full

https://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/full/v18/i7/627.htm

The types of fats are important. For example Omega 9 and Omega 3 help fight infection. Omega 6 does unless levels get too high. Many diets are too high in Omega 6 causing it to have to opposite effect. Omega 9 is found in the milk and fat from grass fed animals. Grain fed animals have much lower levels of Omega 9 fatty acids. This is also why we should address metabolic issues like pyphoria and pyrrole disorders which effect our bodies proper use of fats. I have posted on those. We also need to address sulfation issues which can lead to problems with our bodies proper use of fats.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4831806/

Omega 3 is needed to fight infections.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0923250817300621

Whether we take Omega 3 or not is determined by the type of infections. This does not mean we should avoid it but it means we should limit our intake with certain types of infections.

https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(16)30252-3/fulltext

For example Omega 3s are very effective against viral infections.

Boneset helps fight the cold and flu. I found it to be extremely effective. I only had to take it for three days. It also helps fight malaria. There is an alkaloid in it and I have not had a chance to research the health effects of the alkaloid so I only use it for about three days. I will not use it any longer then that until I have a chance to research the safety of the alkaloid that is in it. I took it at night because it made me feel like I had a fever and it made me sweat. I decided I would rather sleep through that. Has been shown to be very effective against the flu. Has been shown to be very effective against RNA viruses which are usually the super viruses produced by vaccines. It also fight malaria.

I posted on things science has wrong. I had noticed most things they call pathogens have beneficial effects in the body. Some help get rid of toxins, while others help modulate and keep the immune system balanced. Some pathogens even fights cancer. So I kept researching and found when an illness exist then it can harm the pathogen so it has to go into survival mode. When it does that is when it can harm the body. So we much correct the problem to get the said pathogen back to commensal form.

Colloidal silver is effective against many types of pathogens. You must make sure it is true or pure colloidal silver at least 98% colloidal silver. In some countries they are allowed to sell ionic silver as colloidal silver. As far as I know ionic silver is not toxic but it does cause what they call blue man syndrome. It takes very high does to occur but it is proof the body cannot remove ionic silver. It is very effective against MRSA.

Conyza Canadensis

Used to be known as Erigeron Canadensis. It has a somewhat hot taste like black pepper. I like the taste but I think it is better to use as a spice. Many use it in place of tarragon. I do not know what tarragon taste like so cannot comment on that. I used to grow it now I try and manage it. It does not take much for it to get away from you and overtake things. Some call it Horseweed, some call it mares tail. Is resistant to glyphosate so be careful where you forage it.

Plantain Herb

Plantago Major and Plantago Lanceolata

Most call P. Major broad leaf plantain and P. Lanceolata narrow leaf plantain. The health benefits are similar but P. Major taste much better though I like the taste of both, I prefer P. Major. Or P Rugelii which looks similar to P. Major but it has a purple or red color at the bottom of the leaf stem. It is the mildest tasting of the three and has a somewhat sweet taste. This is another herb that is a power house when it comes to healing. It can help balance the immune system. Helps with inflammation and poor blood circulation. Kills many pathogens and has amazing healing abilities. It can kill gangrene so the phytochemicals are being researched in it. It also fights chronic illnesses even cancer. I have found it works fantastic for rashes especially poison ivy. To prevent a rash I will take Jewel Weed and use the juices because it is good at breaking up the urishiol. It doesn’t prevent the rash though but will reduce the effects of the urishiol in poison ivy or poison sumac. I then use the juice from plantain to prevent the a rash. It contains biacalein which is what give sculletaria it’s healing benefits.

Galinsoga Parviflora is the one I am familiar with and the one I grow. There are many varieties and they have similar health effects. Galinsoga is one of my favorites when it comes to taste. It has a mild taste. It also has many benefits and is a natural ACE inhibitor. Has antioxidant abilities comparable to silymarin. Has antimicrobial abilities.

Galinsoga I also and Alpha glucosidase inhibitor which would help with diabetes. It would also inhibit viruses like HIV and Hepatitis. Those with glycogen storage disorders would want to avoid eating Galinsoga.

Galinsoga is also a urease inhibitor which would prevent many types of infection and reduces urinary stone formation.

I found out about this plant by accident. I strange weed started growing in my garden. I posted it in a plant ID group on Facebook and they identified it as Arugula. I tasted it and it had a pleasant taste. Not only that I have Lyme and was having a bad day, after eating it I felt better so decided to find out more about it. I eat it in salads and on pizza but I have heard that it taste good added to dishes you would add oregano to like spaghetti.

Angelica is related to carrots and celery so will taste similar. I have Angelica Archangelica and it has a mild celery like taste. Some species of Angelica can cause light sensitivity when eaten. A. Sylvestris is one of them. There are many toxic plants that look very similar so make certain you know this one before you even try to use it. Angelica has a husk like part close to where the stems meet. The one I am familiar with is Angelica Archangelica. It is the only one I have seen. It can get very tall, mine used to be then I cut it down. Every since I cut it down it has not recovered.

There are many plants in the Smilax family in my area which is the eastern part of the United States. The ones I am familiar with are S. Ecirrhata, and S. Tamnoides. S. Tamnoides has briars on them that really hurt when jagged by them. We also have S. Glauca, S. Herbaceous, S. Rotundifolia, S. Pulverulenta, and S. Pseudochina in my area. I have eaten the leaves and like the taste. Many say the young shoots taste like asparagus. I have never eaten the roots but they are edible.

Most of them have the same phytochemicals that I am familiar with so they will be the ones I list studies on.

Curly Dock and Yellow Dock

https://www.ediblewildfood.com/yellow-dock.aspx

Yellow dock Rumex Crispus

This is not medical advice and should not be taken as such. I have posted this for informational and educational purposes. Know your plants if in doubt don’t . Some parts of plants are edible while other parts can be lethal.

There are many species of yellow dock but the one most are familiar with is R. Obtusifolius. It has many benefits from detoxing, providing much needed nutrients especially minerals. The young shouts and leaves can be eaten but become high oxalate when they get older especially when the stems start turning red. Oxalates can cause severe damage in the body and even death. It is why I mainly use the root and only eat the stems once in a while when they are very young. Young first years roots taste good cooked in butter they have kind of a nutty flavor. When they get older they get tough and bitter. I use second year roots to make tea. So separate the seeds from the husk and use them to make flour. I have not been successful with that. I did see a video on Youtube were a young man used a food processor with a dough mixing blade on it to separate them and then put them on a tray an place a fan by them to blow the husk away and it seemed to work pretty well. The health benefits of the root is pretty astounding to me. There are other types of dock with similar benefits but in my area Yellow Dock is the most common. Most Docks have cross bread and share the similar benefits. R. Obtusifolius or very common and have cross bread so much you can barely tell them apart.

https://www.mommypotamus.com/yellow-dock-root-benefits-uses/

The leaves are so high in oxalates eating them can be fatal.

I do not like the taste of Yarrow but I do know eating it has had noticeable effects. I noticed I had increased energy levels. There are sites that claim it lowers blood pressure but my friends who had hypertension experienced a rise in their blood pressure when they used Yarrow. Has has been used for many illnesses even hemorrhoids. There are claims that when applied to wounds it stops bleeding. There are many species of Achillea but I am fimiliar with A. Millefolium.

Velvet Leaf Plant

http://www.eattheweeds.com/velvet-leaf-fiber-and-food/

Abutilon Theophrasti

This is not medical advice I am posting this for information and educational purposes and should not be taken as medical advice. If in doubt don’t make certain of a plant before you use it.

I have eaten the seeds but no other parts. This plant is new to me. I know it is Roundup ready because I have seen it in field that had been sprayed by Glyphosate containing products so be careful where you forage it. They can overtake a crop and can reduce production. The fiber is used to make rope. I have seen sites that claimed the seeds can remain viable in the soil for many many years. So when I forage them for the seeds I pull the whole plant out because I get them from a friend who grows his crops organically and uses no harmful chemicals.

This is not medical advice and should not be taken as such. If you are not certain don’t, do not use a plant if you do not know it. Make certain of thing you plan on eating or using.

No it is not poisonous. It is very tasty it taste like lemon aid but does not have the bitter after taste. It has many health benefits. The poison sumac is not in the same family. There are many in the Rhus family which is the sumac family. The one I will be talking about is Rhus Typhina which is known as Staghorn Sumac. There are a few other species in my area but Staghorn Sumac has the lowest oxalate levels. The sumac berry of all species is very high in nutrients. It grows very quickly and spreads through the roots or seeds so be careful where you plant it. Since the nutrient content of most of the rhus are the same I will list studies for a variety from the rhus family and it would most likely apply to R. Typhina.

Many cultures have used Sumac berries in their cooking and there are many recipes on the internet on using them in your cooking.

Skullcap

https://draxe.com/skullcap/

Scutellaria

This is not medical advice and should not be taken as such , I am posting this for information and educational purposes only. If in doubt don’t please know your plants before using them.

There are many plants that are poisonous that get mistaken for Scutellaria and are sometimes contaminants in supplements containing Skullcap. Two of the most common that can be mistaken for Skullcap that are poisonous are Downy Skullcap (scutellaria icana) and Germander which is in the Teucrium family.

The ones with the most health benefits in the order of effectiveness are Sculletaria Racemosa, Sculletaria Biacalensis, and the one with the best sedative effects is Sculletaria Lateriflore.

They contain biacalein which I have seen miss spelled as biacalin in some studies. It has amazing healing abilities. S Racemosa has the highest levels of biacelain. It has been shown to be very effective against cancer with little side effects. One of the problems I had with Skullcap was that it healed my nerves and improved my blood circulations so fast that all heck broke loose. The best way I can describe it is when you sleep on your arm and it goes to sleep. As the blood flow returns you experience muscle spasms and major tingling. That happened to me for about three days when I started taking it and then I started to feel much much better. I was surprised at how fast it was healing me. I used Sculletaria Racemosa.

Portulaca Oleracea

Purslane is a super food it has almost all the nutrients the body needs including fats needed by the body. It is slightly tangy in the morning but after the sun has hit it the tangyness goes away and it has a nutty flavor when cooked. I love it raw in salads and it is great in stir fries. It is very high in mucilage so can be used to thicken soups. It is an unusual plant because when broken off the detach branch can form seeds. It is one of my favorites and I grow it in big quantities because of the many uses it has.
