Hi Trish and everyone,
I like to focus my attention on optimum health and well-being and not focus too much on the current news about different diseases.
I really appreciate you mentioning dandelion, there are so many healing way about this plant.
I have Brigette's book and now will open it again.
I have been using Wild Rose leaf and flower tincture as an anti-viral for a few years now and often support this plant with
lomatium seed. There are many anti-viral plants. I think we all have the ones that are near and dear to us.
I recently made quite a bit of wild rose hips tincture and utilize this form of the plant also.
Mentioned in another thread was how important fermented food are, how vital it is to support healthy gut flora.
Dandelion Root infused vinegar will accomplish this. I read recently that there is more inulin (the starchy substance that nourishes the gut flora) in the roasted dandelion root. I found this fascinating and wondered if this is why the roasting was done.
I am drinking a grape cooler as I write this. Press grapes from our vines, whey and salt. It is a very good fermented
drink.
I really like that we keep going over this same topic in so many ways. I think it is needed.
One more thing that is fascinating to me...recently my chiropractor wrote in his newsletter that talking about our worries about
diseases,i.e. swine flu can actually increase our chances of getting them. That healthy talk promotes health and talk toward
disease promotes that.
Peace and Green Blessings,
Julie
