Toothpaste
1 cup Baking Soda, 1/3 cup salt, 1/2 cup vegetable glycerin, add enough water to mix into paste.
You can add your own essential oils that you like.
Hair Coloring
Instead of all the chemicals and unpronounceable things, you can use henna. The only problem with henna is, unless you are a red head, it's hard to control the color. It will turn your hair into someone like Horatia of CSI: Miami.
Here is what you can do with henna.
- Add coffee - turn it darker
- Add essential oil - last longer, I like to use Rosemary oil
- Add Gentian - turn it more brown and darker
Unfortunately, you have to adjust the color yourself. I cannot give you an exact formulation on this.
Dog Food
Breakfast - 1 raw egg, 1/2 cup raw ground meat, 1/3 cup raw organ meat marinated with Turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper. You can also add Ginger or Cinnamon.
Dinner - Bone broth, ham neck, chicken or turkey, can tuna or salmon
Once a week, I fast the dogs for 24 hours. They get bone broth from crock pot that evening. I make enough bone broth to last them throughout the week. Solly is right now 18 and will be 19 soon. He can still hike 7 miles.
Vaccine Replacement for dogs
Heartworm - Ivermectin and Fenbendazole
During the warmer season or I should say mosquito season, I switch between Ivermectin one day and Fenben the next.
Ticks
Ledum 200C during tick season. One dose equals 3 pallets. I use that for one week straight. Stop it for 2 weeks before starting the protocol again.
Rabies
I know everyone including my own family members would scream and yell about Rabies vaccine and wanting to inject. Here is something you can do without the vaccine. Please check out homeopathic medicine

I woould recommend growing tobacco near doors.
For smoking and barter, certainly, when one harvests it and cures it, but I grow it for burns, scrapes, cuts and bites. As in, run to door, grab a leaf and wrap it around the booboo. I have even done this on the way to the A & E for stitches, and they are always amazed at how clean and calm the wound is, by the time we get there.
One of my children got a horrendous burn from a kettle full of hot water once and we dumped her in an ice-bath. We then wrapped her in tobacco leaves for weeks. She had lost a decent chunk of skin, and yet, there is no scar.
It is an anaesthetic (t reduces pain), antispeptic and styptic - (stops bleeding quickly) and better than comfrey IMO.
BTW I got the idea of tobacco as medicine in a Malaysian Jungle
Thank you.
Dark or Burley?
I don't know, try a bunch of different strains. I had a black pipe tobacco that was very strong, it even did a perennial thing where it made an effort the second year, and self seeded. the Virginia strains are lovely and tall.
Thanks. Will try any of them.
