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.
Anyone know of any natural remedies for seasonal allergies? Normal pills don’t help me at and it’s miserable! I’ve tried stinging nettle and it didn’t do much.
Acidic water, opposite of alkaline. A wet swab in each nostril will eliminate allergies for the day. I wish they would sell a acidic water spray so more people can see for themselves, ive never gone back to anything else, this works fast and consistently
When my son was growing up in the 90's and 2000's he was highly allergic to tree pollen (pine pollen) and he would get a headache, sometimes throw up and would have to sleep it off. Even at school he would just go to the nurse's office, take the homeopathy, sleep it off if he had to, then he was ok. It was late March through April here in Georgia. It was hard because he did spring sports. The cycle of plants emerging is trees then grasses then ragweed. Homeopathically, I used Natra Bio's Tree Pollen which is a blend of the different trees that are homeopathically prepared. He used that all through his early 20's when he grew out of it for the most part...but it ws rough.
On the other hand some of my other children have developed allergies after they have grown up. Personally I am just sensitive to poison oak/ivy. I use homeopathic poison oak/ivy (rhus tox) to treat that if I get it. You can also get homeopathic histamine, which I keep on hand. In the past I have had cold hives (a crazy allergy) but used homeopathic Natrum Mur to treat it and I seem to be fine. My daughter also had cold hives and used Natrum Mur successfully. We eventually started taking BioPlasma (Dr. Scheussler's 12 Cell Salts) , which includes Natrum Mur, every day which has taken care of the cold hives.
I really think I would look at the candida cleanse that RugerP89 posted above because I think there are underlying causes of allergies. I take apple cider vinegar to make sure my body is alkaline and not acidic. I am also allergic to the sun (it is a real thing) and I have found that I was very deficient in vitamin D. When I was first tested it was low...I was in the 20's. Now I try to stay at about 60 and it makes a world of difference. My husband is always outdoors in the summer but he had low (20's) Vitamin D also...he was not absorbing it very well. He takes the D and K all winter and then about 3 times a week in the summer and he maintains in the 60's. In the spring I can actually slowly acclimate to the sun if I take 10,000 IU's a day of Vitamin D and I add one Super K capsule (Life Extension) and it has really made a difference.
Also, we discovered my daughter was celiac when she was 19. Of course she quit eating barley, rye, oats and wheat and that improved her condition. But she had cold symptoms, brain fog and stomach issues up until then. As she has upped her vitamin D levels she is able to tolerate a little of these foods without having a reaction. I have to say...raising five children has given me a lot of opportunity to experiment with treating just about one of everything!
Allergies are hard because you don't always know what you are allergic to and then you are just not sure how to treat. I hesitated to respond because this is a difficult subject but I just wanted to let you know how I have dealt with different allergies (some really weird) and some of the things I have done. I am somewhat suspicious that there could be mold in homes that people are sensitive to. But you can test for that. Natra Bio also has homeopathic formulas for candida and molds and and grains and dairy and there's one for animal hair which I use when son-in-laws come over who are allergic to my cats. Like I said allergies are tough. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. Some things are just research and then just trial and error.
