My Feelings On Some Things & A Good Old Time Plant Comes To The Rescue. Comfrey.

OK, for the past few days I have given you my outlook on a few things pertaining to life, and even got a bit into my life, how I do things, feel and see things.  Remember now, that these are my views on things and mine aloneSome might not think like I do, and I suspect a lot of folks don’t, but something inside me the past few years has been pushing me to get my views on things out into the open.  I like to think it is a good thing, ways of helping folks, bringing things to light on different items.  Might say, a different outlook on life. Not that I am, telling, asking or trying to change your way of thinking, as I am not.  So … that’s that.

On another note, one item that comes to mind that folks can get a lot of help from is the weed, or some call a herb, is Comfrey.  Comfrey is one plant that I use a lot around our home here. I have used it to treat broken bones, swellings, torn ligaments, hernias, arthritis, wrinkles, blisters, stretch marks, cuts, bruises, well the list goes on and on. It is a very safe plant to use and unbelievably easy to make an ointment out of.  Here is how I make my ointment.  First I pick some real nice looking leaves from the plant, around fifteen so. Kind of depends on how big they are, mine is usually about medium in size.  I then lay them on the grass and wash them real good with a hose. I then shake them dry and lay them all out on the picnic table to dry in the sun.  One has to turn them a few times throughout two days, but after that you are in business.  I then crush them up dry, and put them in a masonry jar. Fill it just about full.  I then take some extra virgin olive oil and cover them totally.  Using a stick I push the oil down all around the leaves, until they are all soaked real good and  no bubbles left in the jar. I then take the ring and put a paper towel under it and screw it back on the jar.  Acts like a lid, but still allows it to breath.   Now I just sit it on the kitchen counter and in about three to six weeks, I have the greatest healing ointment you can get.  After about three to six weeks I strain it through some cheese cloth and set it in the medicine cabinet.  That’s it, you’re in business.  So there you go, a bit of old time wisdom once again, comes to the rescue and saves a fellow or gall all kinds of grief. OK, now is saying this, one should make sure your not allergic to the plant. Easy way is to crush up a fresh leaf and rub it on your wrist. If it doesn’t turn red you’re in business.  Just a small spot, about the size of a quarter will do it.  Also, I only use it externally.  Enjoy Summer!

Vaccinations For Mumps, Measles,Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough, Good, Bad, Or Just Plain Nonsence?

For awhile now I have had folks ask me what my true view was on the sickness that is  happening here today.  Well giving it a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that most of all the diseases we have today like Tonsillitis, Ear Infections, some Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, a lot of Flu  and Colds and top of the list cancer, have been brought to us through us  getting vaccinated when we were  young. My personal views on vaccinations is that they should have never been given to anyone. First off when the vaccines were first brought to being and given to children and adults  the diseases like the measles, mumps, chicken pox and whopping cough was already down to just a few.  In other words they were disappearing all on their own. When we started to give folks the vaccinations they actually went up a bit.  Problem was though, that as soon as the vaccinations were started, so did all kinds of other things and that is why today we have so many other problems.  How can you say this?  Well I can say this as it is like looking a huge blank wall, the evidence is right there in front of you and one just has to open ones eyes.  In reality one has to take off the blinders and all will be shown.

Here is my theory. Once the vaccinations were given to children or should say us humans, our body lost a lot of its amunity to things. .as our body didn’t have a chance in doing it on its own.   I feel that if we would have allowed our bodies to fight off these things like measles, mumps and so on, we would all have been a lot better off and stronger for doing so..  Also along with putting these vaccinations into our system we also put in formaldehyde, aluminum and mercury. When we put them toxic drugs into our system we are setting ourselves up for all kinds of new things to happen inside us, like new diseases, which is what is happening today. Might say they all are man made diseases.   Some say, look at overseas,  third world countries,  so many young ones are dying from just the measles alone and vaccinating them would save thousands.  I say they are not really dying from the measles, they are dying because of lack of nourishment in their diets.  If you gave these folks good food or showed them how to grow their own, along with vitamin A  and others, it would eventually wipe out them diseases all on their own and again their bodies would be a lot more stronger in doing so.  I also say things like the measles are in reality good for us. Myself I have had them all, not one of them put me in bed for any length of time or hurt me.  My body recognized them and dealt with them all on its own. How? Simple, I had a healthy environment and my body was well nourished.  Some say hey now how could the Powers That Be allow this to happen.  Simple, for one thing, after all these years they sure would have a hard time admitting to folks that they made a huge mistake.  Isn’t going to happen.  I can also give you a billion more reasons.  What are they? Well it’s a billion dollar a year buisness for the drug companies.  That should sum it up in a nutshel.  I got a bit more to say on the subject and will write up another post in the coming days.  Remember this is my opinion only.

Sunshine, Vitamin D, Sunburn Help, And Summer

Well summer is on the way and sunshine is in abundance.  Sure is nice to sit outside on a nice sunny day and enjoy a coffee and take in Mother Nature as it happens. My wife and I live in the country, or should say surrounded by bush and miles away from the nearest city.  It’s a great life, and we can’t get enough of it.  With the sunshine now I hear all the time of the Powers That Be telling folks to stay out of the sunshine and if you do go out into it wear Sun-block and things like that. Myself I believe that is the worst thing you can do, as all you are doing is subjecting yourself to all kinds of sickness and  covering your body with not so good chemicals, which your body absorbs right in through the skin.    Sunshine is what the body needs to survive and stay healthy, it’s loaded with Vitamin D and all kinds of good things. Here is what I recommend.  If you’re not used to the sun, ease your way into the sun say for around ten minutes a day, then fifteen minutes a day, and so on.  That way your skin will toughen up and you won’t burn.   Thing is, today most folks figure the sun is bad and that is wrong.   I have been out in the sun for hours on end with a hat for pretty well all my life and never get a sunburn.  Why?  Well my body is used to it and it adapts.  For a healthy body you need sunshine, so read what I just wrote, and get out there this summer and enjoy.  Moderation at first is the key word here folks.  OK so you did what I said and got yourself a wee bit red. What to do  as it hurts?  Well, simple, just get yourself some vinegar as it is an incredible first-aid remedy for dealing with a sunburn. Once applied the soreness will disappear and your redness will be turned into a real nice tan.  Get to putting it on as soon as you come in, as quicker the better.  Have a great summer, and don’t forget to pick up a copy of my new book  called, Join Me In The Garden written by, yours truly.  Loaded with all kinds of good tips and advice.
