Hey, sorey I haven't been around to say thanks
Oh shure... I think I may be alergic slightly to bananas but I eat one every day, it just kind of bugs my asthma if I eat them fast or many. I don't drink much milk though so that probably explains it. I have been latly because I've been eating(cereal) brekfast that requires it but still not too much. I'm planning a trip to the docks very soon so I'll tell him about it. I'm not laghing as hard as the graemlin, not in any meen way. That's one of the few things I know about St.johns wort . I like goats milk and am intent on getting a few in the future but for now I don't know what to drink in place of milk because the place we get it the cardboard they use in the container makes it tast stale. Any suggestions on that. I could maby find a farmer with some goats.
By the way their's a possibility I grow in dog years so it just might be the pottasium!
One thing I've found releaves the jitsies temperarily is some yoga position, I think it's called the japanese sitting pose but maby not. you simply sit on your nees with your feet flat undernieth you until just when you think there going to go numb. It helps the circulattion in your legs alot I find! It may be called the warriers pose come to think of it. I don't know my yoga all that well.

Apples, you are such a great sport for putting up with the silliness...

I don't mind at all. This place is made to be fun. Plus any info I get here is a bonus since I'm just being to lazzy to read up my self. I've got a list going so I'm thinking I'll put it up in a new post n see what you people think.

Apples, this link might give you lotsa info to help you with your list.. (maybe we should start a "Natural Health" topic...)

My folks raised goats when I was young and sold the milk, my younger bro was lactose intolerant and it was what got them into the goat thing, only thing I remember was that Dad would not let them graze until after milking and then put them inside before dark, he said it took the off taste fromthe milk, must have because I LOVED it! phil

I still think that a goat and a sea of clover would make a great front lawn.

Me Too! Maybe they are called WHITES! any way they are the same plant, haven't researched them, but a wise old owl told me they were good to ward off Cancer if made into a Tea...any imput?

Modern uses: The leaves are antiseptic and are used internally and externally for the treatment of malignancies. Research is required in this area, but an infusion of the leaves appears to reduce pain in cancerous cases. A strong infusion is made by using 2 oz (56 g) of leaves to 1 Pt (568 ml) of boiling water, which is left to stand overnight. It is then strained and taken in doses of 2 fl oz (56 ml) every two or three hours. The crushed leaves can be applied directly to the skin where an antiseptic is required. The flowers are expectorant and a syrup is made by adding honey to an infusion of them. This is an excellent remedy for coughs taken in dessert-spoonful doses. The roots and leaves are also expectorant, but the root tends to be emetic and has been used as an alternative to lpecacuanha. In combination with Vervain (Verbena officinalis), it is effective in whooping cough. Colt's Foot may also be added.
I pasted it from that magdalin site papido posted.
Maby the white one has deeper cancer properties then the violet WHITES!
Ouu... Jillie I looked so quickly befor I only saw Phils post. Thanks I'm starting to look through it now! As for the natural health topic I think that would be great! Has any one ever heard of yerba mate. It's a tea from south amarica that can be used as a food staple replacing meat and even bread! I didn't book mark the page but if you do a quick search on it you can find tones of sites on it or selling it. It has one of those exoderireowjr... things... caffien being one of the three all having similar effects but this one is not bad for you and is actualy realy good for you. They say it's like green tea but better.

Phil, I'm so silly

Sounds like a great product Fleur-de-ni. Thanks for sharing

Hi Phil & Laura~

I have done some research on it. Like many good things, I was introduced to it, by a friend who brought me some.

Excellent information on studies done in the U.S. and Asia titled:
Ancient Wisdom Tested by Modern Science - Chapter III
from Jiaogulan "China's Immortality Herb" by Michael Blumert

can be read at:

http://www.immortalityherb.com/Jiaogulan-book/chapter%203-1.htm

There are also many other informative articles to be found at this site.



A concise history of Jiaogulan, can be read at:

I am not easily impressed by herbal claims, as they do seem to be everywhere. I have been using and studying herbs for over 30 years and take much that I read with many grains of salt.
I didnot look into this herb, until I had drunk quite a bit of it and was really surprised and impressed with how calm and yet strong it made me feel. I was very reluctant to drink it in the evening, for fear it would keep me awake, (it tastes very similar to caffeine-rich Jasmine tea.)
There was no need for my caution. It seems to create, absolutely, no jittery effects.

I did read that pregnant or nursing women should not drink it. However, I donot know why that is so. But figured I should make a note of it, here.

Hi Chrissy!!

So are you drinking it now? Has your sister found it helpful?

This is to me, the most impressive herb I have come across, in years.

Yes, I have drank the tea once, just to give it a try over at my sister's place yesterday. It actually tastes pretty good & I didn't feel the jitters either that I usually expect with an energy tea. My sister swears by it & loves it. She has been drinking it for about 6 months now. I put in an order for some at our local health food store...so I will keep ya posted on how it does for me:)
