Warnings and Precautions About Black Seeds Black Seed, also known as Nigella Sativa and black cumin, has been called the "Blessed Seed" for its miraculous curing ability. The black seed has been called the greatest healing herb of all times by many doctors as it heals all diseases including cancers, diabetes, immune problems, eliminating the flu and colds, acne, muscular dystrophy, back aches, skin and stomach disorders and it increases longevity. As with the flu remedy, the recommended dosage includes the use of garlic and olive leaf. Some dosage requirements suggest one teaspoon of oil compared to eating the regular seeds. Please note that the seeds are the Prophetic medicine, not the oils. The oils were not available 2000 years. The oils are concentrated and more and more people prefer the convenience of the oils, but they must be taken differently than the seeds. Side Effects of Black Seeds There are no known side effects of this miraculous herb, but it is better to take caution here. Warnings of Black Seeds

Unfortunately many of these articles have a this for that approach. Have a sore throat, take this. Have a cough, take that. Have a fever, take this.

GHS Natural Health Blog By Ron Rosedale, M.D. Presented at Designs for Health Institute‘s BoulderFest, August 1999 Seminar Case Histories By-Pass Surgery First, let‘s talk about a couple of case histories. He was on 102 units of insulin and his blood sugars were 300 plus. To make a long story short, this gentleman right now is on no insulin. High Triglycerides/Cholesterol Patient B is a 42-year-old man who was referred by patient A. This man was told that he had familial hyperlipidema and that he had better get his affairs in order, because if that was what his lipids were despite the best medications with the highest doses, he was in trouble. Whenever I see a patient on any of those medications, they‘re off the very first visit. I should mention that this patient had a CPK that was quite elevated. So, he was chewing up his muscles, including his heart, which they were trying to treat. Severe Osteoporosis Let‘s go to something totally different–a lady with severe osteoporosis.

Guide2Health Healthy News and Information Convincing Reasons To Start Eating Honey and Cinnamon by PAUL FASSA What if I told you there are numerous non-toxic, inexpensive, and effective cancer treatment protocols the medical-industrial complex is suppressing, because cancer treatment is a Big Pharma/AMA trillion dollar cash cow! Dr. John Diamond, M.D. revealed, “A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy.” [1] Dr. Is real raw honey an effective anti-cancer agent? Big Pharma knows about power of raw honey’s flora-flavones and their ability to eradicate free radicals and bolstering immunity. “Honey is highly cytotoxic against tumor or cancer cells while it is non-cytotoxic to normal cells.

Bear Medicine: Oshá and Sage Infused Honey, by Kiva Rose and Rhiannon - HerbMentor In this recipe, we’ll be looking at the classic and well paired combination of Oshá and Sage, two herbs well known for their powerful healing effects on the respiratory tract. Both are diffusive and warming, with expectorant, soothing, and stimulating effects that make them ideal in situations where there are signs of respiratory congestion, coldness, tiredness, an achy sore throat, and possibly chronic respiratory infection. Oshá, sometimes called “Bear Medicine,” is one the most well known herbs of the American Southwest, and for good reason. The aromatic (some would say stinky) root of the plant is famous for its nigh on miraculous effect on what many call “lung grunge”, or even at the very onset of wet, boggy bronchitis or other wet, cold lung conditions. Omen’s desperate search for this plant in The Medicine Bear to cure Hannah’s pneumonia is no exaggeration, as this is an herb that has long been sought out by those of Indigenous, Hispanic, and Anglo descent here in New Mexico.

HerbMentor News 96: Cramp bark and Ginger Fomentation We are currently studying cramp bark on HerbMentor.com. As the name strongly suggests, this herb is fabulous for stopping cramps. It works well for muscle cramps, like when you throw out your back, menstrual cramps or even restless legs. After reading this article I’ll bet there will be a few of you out there thinking, “Why go to all the trouble? Why not simply pop some ibuprofen?” Most people tend to think of over-the-counter medicines as being safe. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t feel very safe to me! Cramp bark (Viburnum opulus) can be a reliable and safe alternative to NSAIDs. In fact, cramp bark is used for the following issues: menstrual cramps, muscle cramps, early labor, miscarriage, pain, difficulty urinating, bowel cramps (IBS), diarrhea, child enuresis (bedwetting), spasmodic coughing, asthma, arthritis, muscle strain, seizures, high blood pressure, and lockjaw (interesting historic use). I often reach for cramp bark when I’ve got back pain. I have, countless times.
