Preface: I didn't believe in it. I thought I was being scientific and basing my opinion on well researched medical facts. I was wrong.
Starting with the forced vaccination campaigns is when I started to distrust the medical industry. I was ignorant about herbal medicine and I thought it was a bunch of ineffective wives tails and confirmation bias. I thought "Of course you got better, you just had to wait, but now you think your cream healed you because you put it on and didn't die while you healed like normal"
Holy hell was I wrong.
So it turns out that your doctor is still pretty damn good resource, however, like most people, he's also completely ignorant about pharmacy.
Ever hear of these plants?:
- Comfrey, also known as knit-bone
- Horsetail
- Yarrow
- Plantain
- St. John's Wort
- Lungwort
- Stinging Nettle
- thistle
I heard the names of some, I even read about some, but fuck me this stuff belongs in every single yard in existence.
Comfrey had been used as medicine for over 2000 years. Know what it does? The Roman army certainly did.
So it turns out that it's called knit-bone for a reason. It contains allantoin and rosmarinic acid. It's the most powerful healing thing I have ever read about in my entire life. 2000 years of observational evidence backed by dozens of of double blind, multicenter, randomised control trials.

Literally the gold standard of science. Grow this fucking plant. The FDA desperately doesn't want you to have it despite the medical evidence and had been trying to scare people away from using it because if you abuse it you could hurt your liver.... Sounds like most medicines to me.
Horsetail is nutritious and will stop you from bleeding out in an emergency.
Pharmaceutical grade bleed stop, like what you get for your dog to stop their mail bleeding if you accidentally cut into the quick, is made out of yarrow. It's a traditional remedy, dried and powdered yarrow will stop the bleeding and help block infection because it's also antibacterial. WTF, why isn't it in the camping section at Wal-mart?
Plantain is anti-bacterial, anti-septic and anti-fungal. It's so effective you don't need it to be sterile to work and keep your wound clean. You can chew the stuff into a poultice to put on your wound from your dirty ass mouth and it still works.
St. John's Wort will relieve anxiety, depression, insomnia and psychosis. It's undisputed and medically accepted. It just has a lot of drug interactions.
Lungwort is great medicine when you are sick and congested. As the name suggests, it helps your breathing and lungs. My two daughters were sick, my wife decided to test it on them. It worked just like our herbal medicine books said it would.
Singing nettle is extremely nutritious and will help you get a good night's sleep for real if you make a tea with the fresh stuff. Just be prepared to either have extremely vivid dreams and/or lucid dreams.
Thistle: you're not ready to hear this lol. You should grow Thistles on purpose in your own yard...on purpose, like intentionally, without planning on getting rid of it....for real...
There are a lot of things that we eat and a lot of waste metabolites that are fat soluble. Or modern life is placed with herbacides and pesticides as well, some of those are also fat soluble. Lots of us have abused our livers as well.
Guess what? Thistle forces that shit out of your fat and into your blood, simulated your liver, improves liver function and helps you get all that shit out.
Are you unallergic to certain foods, but "break out" when you eat them or get joint issues? That's because your liver sucks. Go eat some thistle, especially the roots. The stalk can be cleaned up with a vegetable peeler, its like celery, the roots are where most of the good stuff is though.
There's more plants and more proven effects of them.
Most of them you were misguided to think of as weeds or poison.
God is trying to take care of us.
I have used EFT or tapping with good success for pain and it is useful for PTSD. Very easy to use when you lean how to use it.
I don't understand Emotional Freedom Technique but I tried it once and it worked for back pain
I don't go for the "I accept myself" affirmations because I wasn't rejecting myself to begin with...that wasn't the problem
Regular positive affirmations too often equate to LYING: saying this positive thing that you know isn't true but by saying it over and over you're supposed to make yourself believe it is true. So all the gurus say to state your affirmations as if you already have whatever it is you want.
The workaround I learned from one EFT vid was instead to say "I now CHOOSE to..." etc. It's an affirmations game changer.
I now choose to feel happy and free of pain, I now choose to do things on time instead of procrastinate, etc. Because in that moment, it's TRUE: I AM choosing that. It doesn't make my brain react with "Quit lying to yourself; you know you aren't already free of pain, in that new job, new relationship, etc."
I know what you mean. There actually is Christian EFT. Self acceptance may not be a problem with you but I really believe so many of us are our own worst enemies. I think essentially what you say, think and feel can affect you positively or negatively. This is why we are to put on the mind of Christ and meditate on the Word of God. As you proved, EFT works even with modifications because I believe it works on the same principal as reflexology and acupuncture. We have pathways that connect that we know about (nerves/acupuncture) and other pathways that we can't quantify but still works (?/reflexology). An example is when you do foot reflexology very often you feel pain in whatever the point you are massaging in the actual organ or site. You also know it's a pathway because as you massage a spot crystals (that you can feel) disappear leading to healing that pathway. We are so wonderfully made I am just constantly amazed at God's creation. But I am not into all the New Age junk and I certainly am not into "name it claim it theology".
I had some acupuncture treatments for the first time and I do believe they were helpful overall. EFT is really just one more therapy in the natural healing arsenal I like to use. The greatest success with EFT has been some of the children in Africa who were traumatized when their families were killed during some of the extermination wars between tribes. It really has a very solid basis and use. Very much like...prayer changes things. What exactly is the power of prayer? And yet it is so very powerful because it is the essence of who God is and what He does. It is ALL Him...all healing, always. Looking forward to no more tears or sorrows.
