Did you know that the way Cubans have managed to survive their communist regime is by small scale agriculture? That is what should happen. Quoting: WhyKnot Everyone who owns property should have a garden. They could produce at least one season of vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Most could grow tree crops of nuts and fruits. There would be tremendous savings. Be careful on wild edibles including invasive nonative species that our ancestors brought over. Many have high amounts of oxalic acid and eating too much contributes to kidney stones. Similarly, the practice of eating salad should be perfectly fine, but many Americans are now having digestion issues like irritable bowel syndrome due to stress. They have poor coping skills and so this adversely affects the mucosal coating of the bowel. That can easily be taken care of by slippery elm tea. That old standby is what should be used when you have this or sore throats. Nothing else works as well. Most treatment just anesthetizes which is plumb silly as the issue is a lack of slippery coating. By your nonsensical 'invasion biology' logic we should ship honey bees back to Europe. [link to www.journals.uchicago.edu (secure)] Nonsense. I was merely pointing out these plants came from the Old Country as they were veggies eaten there, then since their descendants don't see them as veggies, they grew wild. Get a grip. Talk to a naturalist. See kudzu and honeysuckle and Common plantain. Go start your own invasive species thread.. 'Science is settled'...if you don' grasp that science is NEVER settled you don't grasp science. I'll just keep deleting you. I gave you an option. You chose to ignore it. So be it. We all have free Will but I have a delete post option. What? I never figured you would be a crybaby when corrected. You are misusing a biological term that is absolutely standard among naturalists. Wow, what audacity. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72341210 United States08/13/2019 02:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I probably posted when I ordered a comfrey root a couple weeks ago, or when I received and planted it. Yesterday I discovered it is already coming up! Comfrey is good for more things than a person can list in one place! Feed it to livestock. Wrap an injury with it. Use it as mulch. Incredible stuff! Quoting: Pooka I'm pretty sure that in the film Witness with Harrison Ford, the healing balm given to his character who suffers a penetrating gut gunshot wound was given comfrey and linseed oil. One does not routinely take comfrey internally, but when the SHTF, comfrey might be your herb of last resort with horrendous wounds as it can be near miraculous. Old farmers with a terribly ill calf used to pray and use comfrey. The same with terribly destroyed bone as it can help knit the bone and perhaps stimulate blood circulation and repair it. One of the names for Comfrey is "Bone Knit" or "Bone Set". Which is precisely why I said knit the bone. |

A rather older friend of mine, 66, fell off a ladder and broke his hip '9 months to heal' said his Dr...I had him limping along just fine at 3. the dr asked 'how did you do this?' and he said (for the 3rd time) 'You have to ask my witchdoctor Lance'...and the Dr was not interested at all. I still don' have a kb of merit so can not wrie long missives...butt I have lots more to share...another few more days. And I don' have o peck at my screen... Broken hip = death to many seniors, and certainly is the end of independence for most. If comfrey will do the job - I should have ordered twenty! Tell us more about your friend's situation, please, and how you treated him with comfrey. This is information seniors absolutely need! Hoping your new kbd turns up quickly! I have a new one as of yesterday - a friend recommended a small one he likes, as I have lack of space on my kbd tray - ashtray on one side of it and a thumb-operated mouse on the other side. Love it - just have to learn touch-typing on a new kbd, which doesn't take long. Had to use a wired one after last wireless died and while waiting for this one. Great big thing, always in my way.
