WHAT IS I TOLD YOU THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH WAS FREE

This is pre blog to a more detailed one to come later in the week about my latest discovery. As I told everyone, I married the most incredible and talented whole foods chef in the world ( in my humble opinion):) But as a result of my passion for health and healing the body and his life purpose of eco farming and cooking organic and whole food, it was a match made in the divine cosmos to bring this forward to the world.

We recently started living on a beautiful organic farm in Durham, CT which has inspired us both immensely on every level, but in particular we have both gotten more into learning what grows in our environment and habitat and how to harvest things for both eating and for medicinal purposes. Out on one of our evening weed walks, we discovered many things like the famed JAPANESE KNOTWEED which I blogged about early in the week along with at least 20 other medicinal plants.

Once you start to recognize the plants and identify them you will be amazed how plentiful these healing herbs and plants are growing wildly in our own back yard, or better yet along the the roadside as you drive to work, Whole foods or Starbucks. I encourage everyone to google a picture of Japanese Knotweed and I guarantee you will find it within 20 minutes- no matter where you live so long as its not a major city.

The other MIRACLE of life I want to talk about is a MEDICINAL MUSHROOM called "CHAGA". I had read and heard much about it from David Wolf but never in my life thought it would be growing in my back yard. If you look around and find any Birch Trees which are very common and easy to pick out because of their white skin. Well this is where the miracle is found. Out of any gashes or wounds in the side of the birch tree is where this medical fungus grows from. As I said in the beginning, my next blog will be about the health benefits and scientific facts about the Chaga and how to prepare a tea from the fungus. The main treatment that CHAGA MUSHROOM is used for is cancers and tumors but much research says it is a cure all of the whole body and a serious immune modulator. For any one who doesn't know what that means, it means that the mushroom's properties has SUPER INTELLIGENCE to know exactly what your immune needs. If it needs to be calmed or jazzed up, it will do what its meant to in order to balance our your body. God I love this stuff and I LOVE NATURE. STAY TUNED. YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO LOCATE BIRCH TREES OR JAPANESE KNOTWEED IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT. DO IT FOR YOURSELF. KNOWLEDGE=POWER

JAPANESE KNOTWEED IS KING AND LYMES DISEASE SUCKS

Any one following by blog or knows me personally knows that I have been effected by LYMES DISEASE and that it has touched my life on a very personal way. I am constantly expanding my knowledge about this complicated and pesky disease and have dedicated much of my life to researching, experimenting and gaining any all information to share with you and the world. If I can help even one person it makes it worth my time. I am currently reading a great book called "HEALING LYME". As a raw food enthusiast I also have studied with DAVID WOLF and recently seen an interview with him which focuses on the LYME EPIDEMIC here on the east coast and world wide. In short, there are 4 super sonic herbs that are a must have for the immune system and to fight off active or inactive lyme ( which a huge percentage of the population has but most likely will NEVER be diagnosed). David Wolf stresses a point which I agree with completely:

WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH LYMES DISEASE OR NOT. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BOLSTER THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO FIGHT OFF PARASITES, SPIROCHETES AND FUNGUS to be able to fight off illness and diseases that are introduced into our climate and region. Whether is lymes, asian flu, environmental toxicity or whatever these things will help to keep you healthy and strong. ya ready???????????

1) JAPANESE KNOTWEED (which I will focus on in this blog) It is also known as RESVERATROL)

2) SAMENTO, UNA DE GATO, or CATS CLAW: All go but the same name.

3) ASTRAGULUS

4) SARSPIRILLA.

I will blog about each individually, today I will start with the king of the crop. POLYGONUM CUSPIDATUM, aka Japanese Knotweed

Its tradional uses: tonic against Lyme disease, anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, nerve and brain tonic.

This plant acts as both symptom relief and as a massive healing treatment, in numerous ways and in all the body's systems affected by the spirochetes that are the cause of the disease complex. Japanese knotweed both enhances and balances the immune function, as well as reducing inflammatory over response throughout the body. It is a strong anti toxin herb, protecting the body against the direct toxins of the infection as well as the toxins released when the treatment begins to kill invaders.

In addition to protecting the often lyme-attacked joints, Knotweed works to protect the brain and nerve tissue from inflammation and damage and protects the skin and heart from lyme related degeneration. Basically all the ways that Lyme and the resulting cascade of reactions attack the body are dealt with by the the KING JAPANESE KNOTWOOD.

Herbalist have attributed these effects to knotweed's high concentration of Resveratrol, a compound best known as the explanation for the "french paradox" effect of red wine. But, as usual that one chemical alone does not account for all of Knotweed's effects and from the alchemy, we know that it is the living intelligence of the whole plant which brings the healing synergy and no part of that intelligence acts in isolation. So, given the synergy that occurs in this complex plant, acting against this complex illness like lyme and other immune disfunctions of auto immune diseases, I highly suggest giving it a try, you have absolutely nothing to lose and EVERYTHING TO GAIN. Btw, Japanese knotweed grows like wild in our area. Google a picture of it and be on the look out. The root is best dug out in sept oct and you can prepare your own tinctures and teas. Or it can be ordered on line. Suggested dosage is to start at 1000 milligrams per day and if you can tolerate go to 2000 a day.
