Hey all, welcome to this week's show. We'll get into
a couple of really interesting medicinal plants this week. But
first of all, I'm want to tell you about a
couple of things. Obviously, it is blazing hot. I mean
it was one hundred and one yesterday, probably gonna be
about the same through Thursday. And it's just crazy hot.
(01:52):
And one good thing though about this weather is it's
perfect for sweetcorn. And y'all know I love sweet I've
done a whole show about how to cook sweetcorn. I mean,
people get it wrong. You know. I started the new
series of Herbal Medicine one oh one on YouTube. These
(02:12):
are short videos where I tell you about the basic
medicinal use and sometimes culinary use of an herb. And
the herb this week happen to be corn silk sweet corn,
not just the silks, but actually the shucks, the leaves,
the root. Corn is actually powerfully medicinal. It's one of
the very best plants for bladder infections, the cystiitis, kidney stones,
(02:34):
urinary gravel. It lowers blood sugar and blood pressure. Check
that out. Go to my YouTube channel and subscribe if
you haven't. You know, I need to get some more subscribers.
I need to get some more views, so maybe I
can actually make a few bucks off of it one day,
So check that out. The other thing is when it's hot,
I crave spicy food like even more than I do
(02:57):
when it's cold. You know how much I love spicy
food when it's cold. And one of the things I
always crave most, especially in hot weather. To me, this
is a real hot weather dish is a coconut milk
based curry. I love curry, so I love ending curry.
I love tai courilla of Chinese currier of Japanese curry.
(03:17):
Turns out I really really love Filipino curry. You know.
In my Catholic writing, I work with a group called
Misio Day that means mission of God and this Latin.
Of course, one of my fellow writers is not a
fellow at all. She's a she and she's Filipino. Her
name is Jocelyn Soriano. If you want to read some
(03:40):
really good Catholic writing, be sure to look her up
on Facebook. I mean, well, I guess she's on Facebook.
I'm actually meant to say substack, though, She's also on Twitter.
I'm sure she's all over the place, but her work
on substack is really good. She writes some of the
title the single Catholic, and as I said, turns out,
I really love Filipino who Her mother has a blog,
(04:02):
and I want to give you this blog because it's
got some great recipes. Today I made her mother's shrimp
curry recipe. I altered it a little to my taste
because I had to pull out some corn silks from
that ear of corn for the to do my YouTube video.
I cut some corn off the cop and put it
(04:22):
in there. Work perfectly with the coconut milk curR. Recipe
does not call for corn corn at all. It's basically
just shrimp and bell peppers and onions and garlic, coconut milk, curry,
powdered ginger salt pepper. I don't think I'm leaving anything out.
I may be, so I altered her recipe a little bit.
I had some fresh mint I put in there. I
(04:43):
think mint always goes really well with curry. And instead
of doing bell pepperd halapenas so I made it like
hot for my taste, you know. But she has some
great recipes and it's a great site. It's called Cora's
Home Recipes. It's co r A s so Cora's h
O m E Home r E c I p E
(05:04):
s Recipes dot blogspot dot com. Be sure to check
out Cora's home recipes dot blogspot dot com. She has
main dishes, she has dessert, she has snacks, pastas drinks.
Filipino food is really good. It's not as common as
(05:24):
a lot of other Asian cuisines in the United States.
I dated a Filipino girl when I was right out
of high school, and I really fell in love with
the food. And it turns out it's fairly easy to cook.
The ingredients are fairly straightforward, the techniques are straightforward. It's
not as complex as Thai or like Houdan, Chinese food
(05:48):
or Vietnamese. This is it's really just good home cooking
that has all those flavors you're looking for. And I mean,
hot shrimp curry with a cold beer hit the spot today,
Absolutely hit the spot. But yeah, I mean there's so
many great recipes in there. Of course, you got your
(06:10):
dobos and a lot of good seafood dishes, and you
got your Chinese influenced dishes like chop suey. Great recipe
for chop suey, by the way, I can't wait to
try that. It's one thing I never find a Chinese
restaurant in North Carolina's chop suey. It's actually really good.
But anyway, great recipes. Check out Jocelyn's writing. Check out
(06:31):
her mother's blog. I mean, this stuff is good. I
mean it's really good, and the ingredients are not like
crazy exotic and stuff you can buy at your local
grocery store. And you know, like I said, I love
ty curry with the coconut milk, but it is too
sweet for my taste. In Tai food, they always had
palm sugar. It just makes everything too sweet. The Filipino
(06:54):
version of this curry does not have sugar. It really
works for my taste. And when I think about it,
the local Thai restaurant, well, first of all, it's like
fifteen miles away, and it's it's really hot and I
don't want to drive anywhere in this heat. But then
even for lunch curry shrimp coold twenty bucks, twenty five bucks,
I mean, it's not a cheap restaurant. I mean, with inflation,
(07:19):
I know, the price, everything's gone up. I haven't eaten
there in probably ten years, so it's probably more like
thirty bucks. Now, I mean is you know, Tay food
could be pretty expensive. Filipino food just as good, actually
better in this case, because like I said, I'm not
big on the on the sugar in Tai curry. The
Filipino curry is so straightforward and so satisfying. And I
(07:44):
think I made like four servings for maybe six bucks. Seriously,
I had some leftover shrimp that I hadn't cooked, so
it was still you know, raw in the fridge. If
I had it in the shrimp, yeah, I mean I
could cook a meal for just say a pound raw
shrimp with the ingredients. The ingredients would still be abound
six bucks. I mean, the coconut milk, the curry powder,
(08:07):
the peppers, onion, you know, just basic stuff. Garlic goes
in there. Ginger five six dollars tops, right, and then
the price of the shrimp. So then I could have
used chicken. The chicken curries is made the same way
beef would have been fined. Pork, anything you want to
(08:27):
put in there. Fish fish curries are wonderful. Fish just
one of the best ways to use catfish. So I
could feed a family of four or five or six.
Let's say I spent ten dollars on the shrimp. That's
probably an average price ten to eleven dollars at the
grocery store for a pound of frozen shrimp. So for
fifteen dollars, I could feed a family of five minimum,
(08:49):
and everybody gets seconds and leftovers. And that's half of
what i'd pay for just a lunchtime serving at the
Thai restaurant den in Moore County. My favorite Thai restaurant actually,
it's called Thai Orchid. If you're ever in town, you
don't mind spending a few bucks. Last time I was there,
and it's probably been ten years ago. It's over in
Southern Pines. Well, actually probably Aberdeen. It's over in Aberdeen.
(09:12):
The two towns kind of run together, especially these days.
The folks in front of me in line were the
recently retired ambassador to Thailand and his family. I mean,
this is literally the best Thai restaurant in North Carolina,
and it's actually worth what you pay because it's like
super high quality, very very good. Now, if you're in Tennessee,
(09:35):
there is the best Thai restaurant. It is between Elizabeth
and Johnson City. It's literally the people's house. They serve
you in their house. I cannot remember the name of it.
They only see it like I think it's five tables.
If even that, I hope it's still open. I haven't
been over that way in a couple of years. But
(09:56):
best it's actually considered among like food insiders to be
one of the best taigh restaurants in the entire United States.
It's it's literally their home. You walk in and you
eat with the family, and it's so good. It's like
mind blowingly good, and it's not crazy expensive. And I mean,
(10:19):
you will not find better Typhood in the biggest, most
cosmopolitan city in North America. And it's just like between
Elizabeth and Johnson City. It's you would you don't even
know it's there. If you don't know it's there, it's
literally a family home. Amazing. But now that I've discovered
these Filipino recipes, man, I mean I can actually I
(10:44):
can suit it more to my taste because it's not
as sweet and and you know, I've always altered when
I cooked Tyhood, I always altered the sugar content made
it hotter, added lime or lemon to balance that sweetness.
But I did not do the philip Peino dishes are
so nicely balanced. I still al term to my taste.
(11:06):
I make them hotter than they call for it. But
I really like Filipino food. I had forgotten just how
much I like Filipino food. My ex girlfriend Susie would
be crossing me by word. She was a beauty, Like gosh,
was she a beauty. I mean, like you think about
those little like coupie dolls, you know, when you think
(11:26):
of like that perfect little Asian figure and black hair
and bright red lips and everything. Except she was tall.
She was I'm six or four. Susie was probably six
feet tall, and yeah she was. We ended up just
being like really close friends. We dated for a while,
(11:48):
we had a good time, and we ended up just
being very very close friends in the end. But I
haven't seen her now in thirty years. But boy did
that bring back memories. So very minute I bid into
that dish today, it was like, oh wow, I forgot
how much I loved Filipino food. I mean, it's some adobod.
(12:09):
It's great, you know, I mean you think about I mean,
we got a Chinese restaurant on every corner in America right,
every now and then you might find a Japanese restaurant.
But the smaller cultures are too often over looked. I mean,
we got this big Mung population north in North Carolina.
It's an athletic group from Vietnam. So we got some
(12:32):
phenomenal Vietnamese food. And that's like Chinese food mixed with
French food because it's a French colony for so many centuries.
Filipino food is like Chinese food mixed with Spanish food
because of a Spanish colony. And man, it's good stuff.
I am telling you. Definitely check out Jocelyn's mother's blog.
(12:54):
You're gonna love it and tell him I centia uh
on a odd day like this, Yeah, man, that's good.
You know, if you like Hawaiian food, I think Filipinos
is a little similar to Hawaiian. It's just really good
home cooking and it's you know, never been a wealthy country,
(13:15):
well except for the Marcos, right a Melton Marcos and
all that. Ferdinand Marcos said they made a lot of
money off of the Philippines. But so it's it's home cooking.
It's like you know, basic ingredients. You're not going to
spend a fortune on it. And yeah, that's really Korean
foods phenomenal. By the way, if you haven't tried Korean food,
(13:36):
totally different than Filipino. Korean is like punch in the
face flavor. It's really good if you like that kind
of stuff. Anyway, Let's get on two our medicinal herbs,
and this one might surprise you. This is privet, then gustrum,
the weedy bush that used to be used to hide outhouses.
(13:57):
That's why it's called privet. Privet was grown around privy.
It's all over the place and birds spread the berries
and it can be it's considered an invasive weed in America,
but it's it's you know, it's kind of hue. It's
certainly fast growing, and it's dense. I don't mind it really,
as long as it doesn't take over. But there's a
(14:17):
European privet, and then we have Asian privets and probably
a few others I don't know, but here in America,
the one that's really considered weedy is the I think
it's the Asian version. Let me think definitely naturalized. There
are actually seven versions of privet that grow in the
United States naturalized plants. The three that grow in my
(14:40):
area are armor privet. That's lingustrum omorinsies. That's a mr privet.
I should have said, not armor, but a muhr am.
You are lingustrum of tusifolium. This border privet. That's what
I see mostly. And then there's the lingustrium vulgary that's
us European privet. That's the one that has the most
I committed to use in herbal medicine. Some of the
(15:02):
others have document used in Chinese medicine. Gerardo in the
fifteen hundreds, the leaves of privet, do you cure the swellings,
aposthumations and alters the mouth or throat being gargized. He
didn't say gargled. This is Elizabethan English. She said gargerized
g A R G A R I S E D.
(15:24):
I like that, gargerized that I'm going to gargle, and
with what I have gargled with that would be gargerized
cool word. Actually, with the juice and decoction thereof, and
therefore they be excellent good to be put into lotions
to wash the secret parts at the genitals. And the
scaldings with women. I do not know what the scaldings
(15:48):
with women mean. If a woman scalds me, she's not
giving around me very long. I'm getting the hell out
of there. But the scaldings with women cankers and sores
in children's mouths as well. So good, my brother Aloish's
rot to privet. This is again Lugustum vulgaria. The European
leaves and flowers are used medicinally, but only externally for
(16:10):
inflammation and as a gargle for an ulcerat throat and mouth,
the ulcerations of the gums, and for scurvy. Now, Lingustrom
lucidum is Chinese privet, not to be confused with the
guts and Lugustrum sinnie, which is Japanese privet, and it's
a member of the olive family and widely used in
(16:34):
Asian herbal medicine. But returning to the European culpeper said,
privet is a bush or shrub that grows not to
any great bigness, having many smooth, tough plant branches clothed
with small, oblong leaves broadest in the middle. You can
look it up, you know it is, But he says,
the moon is the lady of this plant. How interesting
(16:58):
a statement. I don't know what that means. It is
little used in physics with us in these times, more
than in lotions to wash sores and sore mouths, to
cool inflammations and dry up the fluxes. Fluxes are bleeding
or diarrhea. Yet Mathelists say it stirs for the uses
for which Cyprus or the East Privet is appointed by
(17:21):
Diascorides in Galen. Further, he said that the oil is
made of the flowers of privet, infuse therein and set
in the sun, and is singularly good for the inflammations
of wounds and headaches coming from a hot cause. There
is a sweet water also distilled from the flowers that
is good for all the diseases that need cooling and drying,
and therefore helps all fluxes of the belly and stomach,
(17:44):
bloody fluxes in women's courses being either drank or applied
as all that void at the mouth or any other place.
And for distillations of the room in the eyes, especially
if it be used with the tuccia the eyes. It's
just mucus in the eyes. I don't know what a
tucci is, but two t u t I A hey,
(18:05):
maybe you co look that one up. Well, let's get away,
let's get some more more modern. As in eighteen hundreds,
the Irish herbal states it has a binding and cooling
nature good for ulters and inflammations of the mouse and throat.
As always, John keyho is the most the least forbose
irishmen ever lived. One sentence in modern use Plants for
(18:28):
a Future says the leaves are a stringent, bitter and
detergent vulnerary that means wound healing. Internal use of this
plant should be avoided since it can produce allergic system
allergic symptoms. Externally, it is safe and effective treatment. The
bark has been used astmatic, though this is not really recommended.
All right, now, let's move on to another plant. You thought, uh, privet,
(18:52):
Well it's a little surprising. Let me tell you about
a honeysuckle. And you may remember that recently someone just
like lipped out that I actually did an herbal video
on the use of Japanese honeysuckle and other honeysuckles. They're
all toxic. They'll kill you. No, no, they won't know.
There is one member of the honeysuckle family that has
(19:14):
poisonous berries. There's another member of the huby honeysuckle family
that bears honeyberries, a nice fruit, and people grow it
for food. The only toxicity that comes from Japanese honeysuckle
is what is that word? It's a soapy like compound. Oh,
(19:35):
it's escaping me. But anyway, it could upset the stomach,
cause vomiting in very large doses. Boy, that's right on
the tip of my tongue. It's the same substance we
find a yukker root. You can use it to poison fish.
It clogs up their gills and they float to the top,
just temporarily kind of stuns the sapinans. It contains sapinans,
(19:59):
not only toxic at all. But whoever got in touch
was like so convinced that honeysuckle was poisonous they demanded
I take down the video, and I'm like, you know,
I think you're really overblowing this, but you know, for
caution's sake, I'll redo it and emphasize the potential toxicity
(20:22):
that I really don't even think it is an issue,
but I probably just should have let it go. Honestly,
you know. I mean, since I was a kid, I'd
pick honeysuckle blossoms suck the nectar out. Plenty of people
make a syrup out of honeysuckle. Cassie Clark I interviewed
her a few months ago. She just where the dog
would blooms podcast. She makes honeysuckle syrup every year and
(20:46):
her family loves it. They eat it just like honey.
It's made from the blossoms of honeysuckle, the very blossoms
he was saying would kill somebody if they ate him,
which is whatever. In the mountains, people often flavor moonshine
with honeysuckle blossoms. Honeysuckle moonshine is like really saw it after,
but okay if there's some According to his state's plant website,
(21:10):
there are some potential toxicity with honeysuckle, especially Japanese honeysuckle.
Oddly enough, I've consumed it since I was five years
old and I'm still around to talk about it, but hey, whatever.
There are twenty three varieties of honeysuckle that have documented
use in herbal medicine. I am not going to try
to pronounce them all all these Latin names. Twenty three
(21:32):
of them. They're either gonn be Lot of Sarah or
Diavera dear via. The only shrub form of honeysuckle. It's
name of my area is lot of Sarah Canada since
American fly honeysuckle, but many have been naturalized. We've got
several again, no sense in naming them all. And you'll
likely see Japanese honeysuckle everywhere. It's also considered an invasive weed.
(21:57):
It's the one you most often see. Lanasah Japonica. Dscardes
wrote of a variety of Juana Sera under the name
per Clemanon. He said, per Cleminon is a little shrub
with a whitish leaves circuma. We don't need to get
into the description. I always forget that. Let's see what
he used it for. The seed of it is gathered
(22:20):
when it is ripe and dried in the shade a teaseman.
Taking in a drink for forty days reduces swellings of
the spleen, dissolves weariness, and it's good for difficult breathing
and hiccups. If you've had hiccups for forty days, you
could be in bad shape. I don't know if I'm
going to use a forty day cure for hiccups. But anyway,
(22:40):
after the sixth day it makes one urinate blood. Now
that that is a potential toxicity there, and that likely
would have been due to sappenings. But he's talking drinking
a large dose on a daily basis. He said it
would also induce labor probably very wise and dangerous use.
(23:05):
Decoction taken as a drink for thirty seven days is
said to make men unfit for generation or sterile. Wow.
So this procleminon is quite different from our the ones
that grow around here. But anyway, he said it was
also useful though it rubbed on with oil, it would
(23:26):
reduce a fever and drive it away the shivering. So yeah,
good Externally, Miss Grief wrote a Caperfoliatia, the whole family
of honeysuckles, which includes three hundred species, chiefly shrubs growing
in the northern temperate zone extending into the cool the
higher cool tropics. Wow. Yeah, and I think yes. She
(23:50):
mentions Fibernum and sambucas are what el not elder? Is
that elder? Uh? Yeah? Viburnum and anyway, yes, viburnum and
elder are also members of the family anyway additional actions
and uses. A dozen or more of the one hundred
(24:11):
species of lanaicerra or honeysuckle are used medicinally, the fruits
generally having a mitto cathartic properties, in other words, make
you throw up and have diarrhea if you eat the fruits.
Several of these drugs have more than a local repute,
and you know sometimes if you eating something bad, you
do need to throw up and have diarrhea. So of
(24:34):
Italian honeysuckle, she said, it was used as cutaneous and
mucas tonic that means for the skin and the mucous tissue,
and as a vulnerary. The seeds is a diuretic, so
wound healing and diuretic of seeds. Common English honeysuckle use
similarly similarly, and the stems uses as a substitute for bittersweet.
(24:58):
An older herbal said the leave and flower of honeysuckle
are possessed of diuretic and pseudorific properties, and adds a
decoction of the flowers has been celebrated as an excellent
anti spasmodic and recommended an asthma of the nervous kind
and elegant water may be distilled from these flowers, which
has been recommended for nervous headache. Interesting, very interesting. She
(25:21):
mentions that capifolium means goats leaf, and a lot of
people that raise goats would grow honeysuckle because they like
to eat it. She says, our native honeysuckle has expectant
and laxative properties. The flowers form a syrup that has
been used for diseases of the respiratory organs and asthma.
The leaves is a decoction and diseases of the liver
(25:43):
and spleen, and was also considered a good agree in gargles.
As Gerard said, Let's see, there's a Siberian honeysuckle she
mentioned was bitter and would be pertive, so good laxative
and a bitter another Russian one, and a Chinese one.
(26:07):
She mentions, well, a Japanese one was used as a
drastic purgative, so it would really clean you out. Dear Vella,
the bush honeysuckle has a similar repute, especially as a
diuretic and as an application to relieve itching. And interesting,
interesting stuff, and it's a big family and just to say,
(26:28):
honeysuckles poisonous. Yes, summer. Like I said, honeyberries are actually
grown for food. So I'm not sure where this guy
was coming from, but hey, I appreciate caution. I'm certainly
not infallible. If someone thinks need to correct something or
make something more clear, I'm always open to that advice.
Brother Alishers said, the leaves of the plants are used medicinally.
(26:50):
The infusion is diuretic, used externally as a gargle for
inflamed tonsiles and for sore legs. The infusion greatly stimulates appetite.
An application of the bruised her the skin complaints secured.
The decoction of flowers is very beneficial for lung catera
or congestion. Now plants for future lists. Some very interesting ones.
(27:12):
Fly honeysuckle. It says the steep branches are a very
effective diuretic. A decoctua. The shoots is used in treatment
of cankers caused by syphilis. They use that English spelling
of cankers chinkers or something. The bark is sedative and
infusions beginning as children who cry at night. Fly honeysuckle
interesting lanas serra moroi. The fruit is cathartic. And emetic
(27:40):
Japanese honeysuckle. Now this is the one that Defella took
such a offense to let me read to you what
plants for future says. The stems and flower buds are
alterative that means gradually brings one back to health, antibacterial
and anti inflammatory, anti spasmodic, depurative, diuretic and febrifuge refuse
(28:00):
meats slivers of fever. The plant is also used to
reduce blood pressure. The stems are used internally in the
treatment of acute rheumatoid arthritis, mumps, and hepatitis. The stems
are harvested in the autumn winter and dried filater use.
The stems and flowers are used together as an infusion
for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia
and dysentery, and infusion of the flower bloods is used
(28:22):
in the treatment of a wide range of elmets, including
syphalitic skin diseases and tumors, bacterial dysentery, colds, interitis, pain, swellings,
et cetera. Experimentally, the flower extracts have been shown to
lower blood cholesterol levels and are antibacterial, anti viral, and tuberculostatic,
means it helps prevent cure kill off tuberculosis. Externally, the
(28:47):
flowers are applied as a wash to skin inflammations, infections, rashes,
and swords. The flowers are harvested in the early morning
before the opener dried filator use. The plant has a
similar action for Scythia as for similar action to Forcythia
as is usually used in combination with that species to
achieve a stronger action. Actually, what that means Japanese honeysuckle
(29:09):
on for Scythia combined are a potent anti viral. The
plant has been has become a serious weed in many
areas in North America. It might have the potential be
utilized for proven medicinal purposes. And it goes on to
say that while it does contain sappenings, those compounds are
not readily absorbed by the human liver as they are
(29:32):
in some cattle and such, and is generally considered safe.
So I'm not sure why. I don't remember if maybe
the Missouri Department of Agriculture or something had listed as
poisonous and the dude just start freaking out because I
literally just stated that you can't eat honeysuckle you can't
(29:52):
use honeysuckle medically. It'll kill you. You'll die. You're being irresponsible.
Actually no, I'm giving you information to make an informed choice.
But again I appreciate where he's coming from, and I
listened to and even took down the video. I'll do
another one with more information, of saying, while some sources
(30:15):
say this plant is boys and I think it's fairly safe,
but you'll have to make your own decision anyway. Another
one is known as woodbine or Lana Sierra. Simprovivans and
Resources of the Southern Fields and Forests said that the
plant is not much used in medicine. This was eighteen sixties,
(30:37):
but the syrup of the leaves is given in asthma
and in tonsilitis. The leaves and bark are styptic means
helped stop bleeding flowers diuretic. The later in decoction called
the capaign of colic following childbirth. The Petersonfield Guide to
Central Medicinal Eastern and Central Medicinal Plant states again of
(31:01):
Japanese honeysuckle. The leaves and flowers are used as a
beverage tea in Japan at you know the Japanese drink
a tea of it, and they don't keel over dead,
as this person's state website warned. Flowers traditionally used for
tea and bacterial dysentery, intoitislerengitis, fevers, flew externally as a
(31:23):
wash for rheumatism, sores and tumors, especially breast cancer, infected boil, scabies,
and swelling stem. Tea is weaker experimentally, flower extracts lower carress.
The cholesterol also an anti viral, antibacterial, and tuberculostatic. This
serious weed might be managed by utilizing it for proven
(31:43):
medicinal purposes. And there you have it. Maybe I should
have just said, hey, go read my book, but I
tend not to be rude. You know, I'm Southern. We're polite.
What can you do? That's just part of our culture,
all right, y'all got to wrap it up here, Go
fix yourself a good curry, eat some sweet corn, subscribe
(32:06):
to my YouTube channel, and you know, don't freak out
over little things. When one source says that an herb
you know to be fairly safe has potential toxicity, go
check four or five other sources before you you know,
(32:28):
freak out. Yeah, I've told you many times about the
lady that got in touch frantic because her granddaughter had
eaten a wild strawberry. What's gonna happen? Is a poison?
Is a poison? Like, ma'am, it's it's a strawberry? Is
she alerted the strawberries? No, then I wouldn't worry about it.
It's a strawberry. Just because one's grown a garden and
(32:50):
one grows in the wild, it's doesn't mean it's not
still a strawberry. I told you about the guy that
was just sweating in weather like this, ripping out wild
grape minds. When I commented, you know, shame they take over.
They're so delicious. He's like, you can't eat those, And
I'm like, why they're poisonous. No, No, they're grapes. They're grapes.
(33:12):
A wild grape is still a grape. A grape by
any other name would taste as sweet to bastardized Shakespeare.
I guess anyway, y'all have a good one, and I'll
talk to you next step. The information this podcast is
not intended to diagnose or treating any disease or condition.
(33:34):
Nothing I say or write has been evaluated or approved
by the FDA.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
I'm not a doctor. The US government does not recognize
the practice of verbal medicine, and there is no governing
body regulating IRBLEUS.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Therefore, I'm really just a guy who says herbs. I'm
not offering any advice.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I won't even claim that anything I write or say
is accurate or true. I can tell you what Earth
has been traditionally used for. I can tell you my
own experience, and if I believe in ERB has helped me,
I can't nor would I tell you to do the same.
If you use an herb anyone recommends you are treating yourself,
you take full responsibility for your health. Humans are individuals,
(34:10):
and no two are identical. What works for me may
not work for you. You may have an allergy of sensitivity
and underlying condition that no one else even shares and
you don't even know about. Be careful with your health.
By continuing to listen to my podcast or read my blog,
you agree to be responsible for yourself, to your own research,
make your own choices, and not to blame me for
(34:30):
anything ever.
