Although I do not suggest that you throw away your Blue Cross/Blue Shield/Medicare, or other such insurance, I do believe that there are many ways in which you can make use of the old cures, both for yourself and for others. It is, however, legally necessary for me to point out that the information here on these pages is simply my own opinion, in regard to herbs for health, together with the results of my own research into the history of their use. I am not engaged in rendering professional medical advice. Such advice should be sought from a competent professional. Please remember: Some herbs can be dangerous. Please use with caution. Also, if you are pregnant or if for a child, please consult a professional.
Throughout the ages mysterious healing powers have been attributed to certain wild plants, flowers, and herbs. So-called "Nature Doctors" of the past were familiar with these natural remedies. Unfortunately until "science" puts its "Stamp of Approval" on such ancient herbal remedies, most modern day doctors scoff at the folklore cures reported through the centuries. Sometimes, however, doctors rediscover these ancient remedies and hail them as the outcome of modern research and science. For example; William Withering, an English doctor, isolated an ingredient found in the leaves of the foxglove--digitalis; one of the most important of heart remedies. Yet for centuries "Nature Doctors" had prescribed a tea brewed from the foxglove leaves for weak hearts. Dr. Cheney, of Stanford University, "discovered", and proved, that raw cabbage juice helped heal stomach ulcers--knowledge again carried for hundreds of years by the "Nature Doctors".
