Good job, doc pops! Will check these sites out. Am not familiar with the Aquatic stuff although I am seeing a lot of members posting that these can be used in SHTF scenarios
 
Have not been to Dr for years, I have the knowledge, know the signs & symptoms and what is being used to treat bacterial infection. This said I/we hate to use antibiotics unless we have to. When you get sick your body starts fighting, and this builds up our immune system. Then sometimes the body needs help, then you will also kill the good bacteria in your gut. It is about the risks and checks and balance. I also never get the flu or pneumonia shots.

Sorry I will not be coming over was looking forward to meeting you, the selfish side to pick your brain on medicinal herbs and plants.
Good luck, be safe, God bless.

Same here, we don't get flu shots out of choice and antibiotics only if necessary.

Would have looked forward to our lengthy conversation on that topic. The wifey is also a bit of an expert on these herbs and plants since her family use herbs and plants for a lot of stuff too.

Be Safe Always...

Lord in heaven bill that brings back nightmares. That and sheep shit tea. If you said you were sick, Granny would boil some water and throw in sheep turds to steep. It's amazing how fast you got better. If you sat there and waited for the tea to cool enough to drink, well, you were put to bed, you really were sick.

But yeah, blackberry root will put a stopper in you for sure.
I would cut my wrists before drinking sheep shit.:eek::wtf:
 
Oh, another medicinal plant are marigolds.

If you make an infusion of marigold blossoms, this tea will kill lice when applied to hair and/or clothing because of natural pyrethrins.

Also, the deadly mushroom Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) can be chopped up and mixed with milk and sugar. You then put this mixture on a plate, and leave it in your kitchen. The flies will land on the plate to consume the sweet milk, and die from mushroom poisoning very quickly.

These techniques will help prevent the spread of disease.
 
In some things, yes ... i lost one of my old orange trees this winter, a Louisiana sweets. Have to plant another

Re: these plants...I agree with everything.

However..


Yarrow is an excellent, valuable medicinal herb that provides a lot of benefits, BUT IT IS EASILY CONFUSED WITH POISON HEMLOCK!!!

Also, yarrow and poison hemlock can occur in similar environments.

Learn about both plants before using yarrow.
