The name.

Down to the clean, the clue.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
To the.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Hey, y'all, welcome this week's show. First of all, I
apologize that it is late. It was absolutely out of
my control. We seem to have had a small terrorist attack. Yeah,
for most of the day, I had no internet, I
had no phone, I had no well obviously television, cable

(01:55):
and all that. Not a big deal. Obviously not a
big deal. Gosh. I mean, you know, a an ice
storm or hurricane or knock stuff out about annually in
North Carolina, no matter what side of the state you're on.
But as many of you know, I have been dealing
with a family issue in More County, North Carolina. Now.
More County is right like I don't even know, twenty

(02:19):
minutes away from Fort Bragg. It is the city where
more military retired military officers live than anywhere else in
the United States. It's because you're the home of golf
in America. On any given day, the place is full
of millionaires. President Trump has an interest in the golf course.
I mean, it's it's not a normal place, and I've

(02:44):
had to spend a lot of time here over the
past three or four years. That's why, you know, I
had to quit doing plant walks, teaching herb classes in person,
been invited to a lot of events, you know, to
speak or to teach, and I've had to apologize and say,
you know, I can't. I'm dealing with something. I'm not
going to get into details, but I'm it's I'm dealing

(03:08):
I could do. Well, let's just say me and my
family could use some prayers. What we're dealing with is
not good at all, and I'm getting progressively worse and
it will get even worse until it's over. So I
think you can fill in the blanks. But you know,
I was the only grandchild, and the only child, the

(03:28):
one that has to do when things have to be done,
and that's all there is to it. And then of
course last September, but just a few days more than
a year ago, this week, the hurricane is basically trash
my house in up in the mountains. I mean, I

(03:50):
still got no power or water, so things have not
been good. I'm struggling. I'm doing the best I can.
But you know, if you follow me on Twitter or
you might have noticed I've been a little down lately,
well there's a reason. So you know, prayers would be appreciated,
and you know, it is what it is. It is

(04:12):
what it is. But in the years I have had
to come in and out and spend a lot of time,
especially around holidays and such. In More County, there have
been three terrorist attacks, if today counts seriously, I mean Thanksgiving,
Like what two years ago, I guess someone shot the

(04:36):
power station, put the entire county in a blackout in
cold weather. And I mean, it may not sound like
a big deal, and like I said, we have bad weather,
but this was an intentional act. And there were issues
at the hospitals and nursing homes. You know, people have
to have electricity. They had to get there generators going

(04:57):
and everything. In some of the extended care communities. From
what I understand, there were some deaths, so it was
not and people at home, you know, on oxygen and stuff.
There were some deaths. And so it may not sound
like a big deal, but it was an intentional act.
And they don't they still haven't found the culprit. They

(05:17):
think the same person did some stuff out in Washington
State and other places. It seems to have been an
intentional terrorist act. And that's the thing about North Carolina,
especially in a resort area like around Pinehurst. Things don't
really get reported on because they want to sell real
estate and get people coming in for vacation. So like

(05:38):
a nuclear bomb could go off and it probably wouldn't
make the six o'clock news. And if you think I'm kidding,
remember about I guess twenty years or so ago there
was this giant theft of dynamite in Winston Salem, North Carolina,
enough dynamite to blow up like ten city blocks, and
it never even made the national news. This was like

(06:00):
right after nine to eleven. This was you know, I
don't to this day, I'm not sure they've ever found it.
I mean, North Carolina will sweep something under the rug
and the national news acts like we don't even exist.
It's set an election time. So anyway, after that legitimate

(06:21):
terrorist attack on the on the electric grid in Moore County,
there was in the northern part of Moore County up
around Carthage. Memory serves a like I said, there are
tons of veterans here. Tons. Just about everybody's either active
duty or retired. Well a special ops guy I think

(06:44):
he was retired. See some if I remember correctly, And
you know, you'll have to double check me on this.
He saw a bunch of guys in like electric worker
uniforms that did not seem to be with the power company,
and he started, I guess, filming him with his camera

(07:05):
and they tried to kill him. They started shooting at him,
and it turned out they were a bunch of Muslim
immigrants from a foreign country, obviously from a Muslim nation
here again in the heart of military country, up to something,
up to something, and the I mean it was reported

(07:28):
on very briefly in local media. They tried to shoot him,
and then they were found to have some storage buildings,
probably with some weapons in there, but nothing else was
ever reported. You know, when you're in the county and
you know store something, you talk with somebody and they're like, yeah,
you know, you know, we had a terror sale right

(07:49):
here in More County, North Carolina, and you know, whatever happened,
I don't know, I don't know. It was never reported.
There was no follow up, darn common around here. And
then yes, last night somebody went and cut a fiber
optic cable at like four in the morning. And here's

(08:12):
the thing. It wasn't just like they cut a random
fiber optic cable it was in sort of like a
hub from what I understand, and it took out internet
and phone and knew you know, cable and all that
for almost the entire county and seems to have crippled

(08:35):
spectrum cables operations to a large extent in North Carolina
in an area all an hour out of Raleigh, an
hour and a half out of Charlotte, and like twenty
minutes out of Fort Bragg. Is something happening, I mean,
is that you get this point you have to wonder

(08:58):
or is there an organization feeling out the infrastructure, because
I mean, this should be like the safest place in
eastern United States, because this is literally where like millionaires
and retired colonels and generals live. Walter Reed you've heard

(09:20):
of Walter Reed Hospital. Yeah, he lived down here until recently.
I think he passed away. If he's still alive, I'm sorry,
you know, to the family. This is I mean, this
is like super gosh. I mean, it's nothing to see motorcides.
I mean, you get in here, the most high profile

(09:43):
VIPs in the entire United States. You know, this is
more more county Pineers, North Carolina is on par with
any of the top destinations in the world. And yeah,
foreign dignitaries. I mean yeah, there's been many times that
there have been people in here, you know, politicians or

(10:06):
royalty from other nations. US open big, big things, right,
and somebody can just go out and cut a fiber
optic cable. Somebody can just go out and shoot the
power station and put the county out of power for
a week and a half or so. Somebody can just
go out and start shooting at a Special Forces VET

(10:29):
and apparently may have had weapons in a storage facility,
and they were foreign nationals and it doesn't even make
the statewide national news. Now, that ought to scare you,
and what it really ought to do is make you
very aware. It ought to make you very aware. You

(10:50):
don't know what's going to happen. I mean told you before.
You know, kit I went to high school with a
year or two older than me, goes to an eight,
pulls out twenty or forty bucks. Somebody went and shot
him in the head. I mean, you know, that was
back in the nineties. Recently on I ninety five in
eastern North Carolina, everybody's been on I ninety five in

(11:12):
East North Carolina going through Robinson County, Lumberton. Somebody didn't
like something, you know, somebody maybe intentionally unintentionally cut somebody
off in traffic. They opened fire and just shot and
killed the mother. And you know, it was horrible. You
never know when something likes it's gonna happen. So I

(11:33):
really want to before I get into the herbs, and
I will talk about an herb today. I promise this
will be an herbal podcast. It's gonna be a short
one though, because I'm exhausted. You never know what could happen.
You don't know when the power is gonna go out.
You don't know. I mean, okay, so today, okay, they

(11:56):
just cut a fiber optic cable. You know what I
got myself. We did at least have cell coverage. Nothing
other than that. Even though they are like two competing
cable companies down here, none of them seem to have
any kind of Internet access, even on your cell phone.
I called down to the grocery store, look grocery store,

(12:17):
and I said, you know, I know we're having an
issue with cable outages and such. I just wanted to
make sure you could process a credit and debit card payments.
And they said no, we can't. He said, we can
take cash, And he said, but you know, you can't
get cash from an ATM machine right now. So if
you got cash in your pocket, you can come down
and get some groceries. He said. He thought they were

(12:41):
gonna get their credit card system online, but the debit
card system was down. So I mean it seems like
like nothing, right. But I imagine if they couldn't process
cards at the grocery store, and this is a major chain,
they probably couldn't process them at the gas station where
people able to get gasoline to put in their cars.

(13:02):
If someone's driving and they ran out of gas where
they stranded. You know, you got to be ready for
stuff like this, and you know, adjust myself in a
chair and get a sip of water. I tell you
this has been tiring, mainly because it's cumulative. I've been

(13:25):
through situations before when hurricanes come in, powers out, you
couldn't use an ATM, you couldn't use the gas pumps,
you had to pay cash for everything. You know, learn
my lessons a hard way in many many instances. I
do a lot of my content for so called preppers,

(13:48):
and I think preppers get a bad reputation in the
news media in popular culture, like you're looking for the
zombie apocalypse, or you think you're gonna have to fight
a war with the government. It's going to you know, preppers,
aren't you know most people are just like me in
the prepper communities. They've been through a hurricane, they've been

(14:10):
through an ice storm, or they've been out of work
for a while, and they realize that something can happen
at any time and you need to store some food,
some store some water, some medications, have fuel to heat
your home, just real practical stuff. My point view is

(14:31):
you never know when it's gonna happen. One thing I'm
gonna start doing with my YouTube channel is I'm gonna
call it Judson Carroll, Bushcraft and Woodcraft. I'm not gonna
call it prepper prepping because YouTube could flag it. You know,
YouTube's not a I don't anything associated with the conservative movement,

(14:53):
let's put it that way. And prepping does tend to
be even though there are many liberal preppers, it's not,
you know, exclusive to any ideology. You're people in the
middle that just don't have an opinion whatsoever. Tends to
get associated with like fringe right wing stuff. Honestly, we
got to be more a lot more concerned about fringe
left wingers these days, and we have anybody on the right.

(15:16):
But YouTube tends to limit availability to certain content. I
experienced that during the COVID lockdown. I mean, they went
after me for just I can't remember it was YouTube
or Facebook, but they went after me for just making

(15:36):
fun of doctor Fauci. You know, I've been there before.
So I'm not gonna call this like something for preppers,
even though I do a podcast through the Prepper Broadcasting
Network called Irbal Medicine for Preppers. I'm gonna call it
Judson Carroll, Wood, Woodcraft and Bushcraft, and it's gonna I've
already put a couple of videos up even before this happened,

(15:59):
just about certain basic survival things I carry in my
pockets on a daily basis, you know, like a pocket knife. Yeah,
pocket knife comes in handy for like a thousand things,
a cigarette lighter or a pharaoh rod, some water purification tablets.
Maybe you haven't thought of that before, but what if
you're stuck out on the road, What if your vehicle
breaks down, What if you're stuck in a snowstorm and

(16:22):
that's happened an ice storm, and that's happened to me before.
I could have gotten some heat to melt snow to
have water to drink, or I could go to a
creek and get some water and put in an iodine
tablet or a chlorine tablet. You know, those are things
that a lot of people don't think about. An emergency
milar space blanket anyway, I mean that will save your life.

(16:46):
I mean you can do a million things with a
milar space blanket. They cost about three dollars. They fit
in your pocket and you just unfolded. It will hold
in your body heat. It will save you from shock,
it'll keep you from going to hypothermia. You can used
as an emergency shelter. You can sing, it's shiny, you
can signal for help with it. I mean, just little
things I just like put in my pockets. So check

(17:09):
that out my YouTube channel, and like I said, it's
under Judson Carrol Woodcraft and Bushcraft because I'm also going
to do what we call more wood crafty type things.
I'm going to show you how to carve spoons and
make baskets. And it's not gonna be very practical. It's
not like zombie apocalypse stuff. But I think it's really
really important because you never know. I woke up this morning.

(17:32):
I was actually up to three am dealing with stuff
last night issues, and I woke up this morning about
ten o'clock. I thought, yeah, i'll check the news and
maybe I can get to masks and turned on the
TV and it didn't come on. Went to call the

(17:52):
cable company and there's no dial tone. Pulled up the internet.
There's no internet. Cell phone only had like three bars,
so I was lucky to even be able to use that.
And you know, you, if it had been a hurricane,
the cell towers would have been down. And I mean
all that could have happened in the blink of an eye,
but at least I would have had a little warning.

(18:14):
You just never know. That's why I mean to me,
it's so important to no herbal medicine to take care
of yourself. I mean literally, even here in like the
most unnatural environment, I can tell you it's nothing but
golf courses and manicured bonds. There are pine trees. I
can stop bleeding if I need to. I can disinfect
a wound. I can tell treat a sore throat I can.

(18:36):
There's oak trees I can stop diarrhea. There's sassafras, there's
prickly pair of cactus. I mean, just look, there's daisy,
fleabane origeron, excellent for so many uses. Mullin grows just
about everywhere around here. You know, there's probably there's dogwood
that would help with a fever, and tulip popular ditto

(19:00):
anti viral property. I mean knowing having a working knowledge
of herbal medicine means that wherever I am, I have
the medicine I need at hand. Now, if I was
in a really extreme environment or a very foreign environment,
I'd have to learn the plants in that area. But

(19:20):
nine nine percent of the time, wherever I am, I
can find the medicine I need at hand. You really
do also need to prioritize remember shelter, because you can
die of exposure faster than anything. It's at first aid.
I mean, you can bleed out or have diarrhea that'll
kill you. But you know I just said that. In
urbal medicine, next to that was is shelter and then

(19:43):
fire to stay warm or to signal for help, or
to cook food or to sterilize water. Then water, because
you can go longer without food than you can water
and then food, and you know, you get those basic
things down and you don't have to think, well, I'm
going to be stuck in the woods. To me, you know,
that's my default because I spent most of my life
in the woods. I mean I love to hike and

(20:05):
hunt and fish and you know a whole bit. I
love to be in the woods. But even at home,
stored water, stored food, fuel, a backup way to have heat,
a backup way to cook. These are very very practical,
very very practical things. You know, A knife to cut things, blankets, candles,

(20:26):
a radio. I mean, these are things you need. Yeah,
so you know, there's only cable here, so I need
to know about the news. I found an old battery
operated radio. Well, I mean have plugged too, so I
plugged it in. We didn't lose power in the past.
I've had to use batteries, of course, so that's in
my mind. I'm still in the mountains where when anything happens,

(20:47):
the power goes out. But no, the power stayed on here,
so I plugged it in. I found a local channel,
but you know what it was, Sunday, good luck on
getting any live news on a Sunday, especially a Sunday morning.
It's pretty pathetic actually, So I had to wait until

(21:10):
in the afternoon and I could get just a few
little updates. But really it was more using the cell
phone and I was able to call somebody who could
go to the website. You know, they keep it's ridiculous
if you call into the cable company and you say
my cable's out, they say, go to our website and
check for updates. Well, you can't do that when the

(21:30):
internet's out and there's like I mean, even the cell
phone is not connecting to the internet. Whatever towers were down,
you know, they must have been on the same network.
I had to find somebody I could call or send
a text to to check a website, to send me
a message to tell me, you know, expect power, the

(21:52):
communications basically to be back up by six pm. That
was cool, you know, wasn't that way two years ago
when they shot up the power station and everything was
down for a week and a half and we're just sitting,
you know, in a dark house with daytime tips getting
up to about forty degrees and nighttime tips getting into

(22:12):
the twenties. Furnace won't work. Electric lights won't work. You know.
I grew up this way, so I had battery operated, radio,
battery operated, lantern, battery operated, probably something else. Something was
an old flashlight. Of course. I had candles. Get those

(22:35):
big prayer candles, you know, the ones that have like
a Catholic image on there. They'll burn for like twelve hours.
Get some, Get some little tea candles, even those help
stern ovule. I keep things like this on hand, some
stored food, some you know, smoke sausage and beans and
fairy onions and various things you know, you can throw

(22:57):
together and make a meal for a few days. And
we had a gas fireplace, so we were fine. Other
people were not. Other people died. So I just, you know,
always want to say, be prepared. Have three to five
ways to do everything you need. I'm serious. If you've

(23:18):
got matches to start a fire, that's great. What if
it's windy and wet, have a cigarette lighter, have a
farroh rod, have a magnifying lens of fresnel lends, you
know whatever. Have five ways to start a fire, Have
three to five ways to get water if possible. That
would be my word. This leather chair is squeaky. That

(23:39):
would be nearly impossible in More County because the the
the water is not clean. The ponds, the creeks, the
rivers are absolutely fouled with runoff from both both run
off from golf courses and landscaping. But also there's there
was a chemical weapons plant here that became a super

(24:04):
fun site and I mean it's really deadly. They don't
tell you about that either. But so what would come
down to water? And I mean if you didn't have manysile,
you'd have to rely on rain water. That's crazy. I mean,
you can't predict when it's going to rain. So I
you know, I told my relative, let's store you know,

(24:24):
at least five gallons of water in case the power
goes out, in case there's flooding from a hurricane. You know,
just have five gallons of water, and you know, no
big deal to take up a lot of room, think
of ahead about things like that. Just it's not paranoid
to prepare for an unlikely scenario these days. I mean,

(24:46):
after the shooting on I five, I mean I'm the
most docile driver you can imagine. I don't do anything
to upset anybody if things might have happen, I might
have a certain weapon in my pocket and on a
night stick, a billy club under the seat. You know,

(25:09):
I'm prepared, and it's because it has happened. It's not unreasonable.
I really avoid ATMs after what happened to the kid
I went to school with. Have for decades. You can
go to the grocery store or the post office or
something and get cash back if I can helpe it.
Do not wish to pull up to an ATM and

(25:30):
a bank. If I do, I look to see who's around.
I try to do things quickly and officially and get
out of there as quickly as it can. You know,
you may think that's paranoid, but you know, literally senior
in high school walked up to an ATM, goes, brain's
blown out for twenty or forty bucks. You just you

(25:51):
don't know. You just never know. And you know, as
human beings, the normalcy bias is that tomorrow is going
to be like today, and that's the only way we
survive in this world. But we also have a logical mind,
and it's a good thing just to think, you know,
maybe I need to stock up on this. Is there

(26:12):
a medication I need on a retigural basis. Maybe I
need to get a little extra of it and just
stick it back. You know, some things you have to
put in the freezer or are the things are fine
just in the medicine cabinet? Right? Do I need some
band aids? Do I need some alcohol? Do you know?
Are there a few things I need if I can't

(26:32):
get them? You know, during the pandemic, the ridiculous thing
was toilet paper. Everybody went out and bought up all
the toilet paper and then there was no more toilet
paper for a few weeks until they restocked, and everybody's
freaking out. You know, probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
I mean, you never know if that's going to happen
again next time he goes to where two packs of
toilet paper and stick one back. Don't put off common

(26:58):
sense things. Never let your vehicle get below a quarter
of a tank of gas ever, and certainly you probably
can't keep it a full tank. Good If you can
when you hit a half tank, go refuel. That's just
a habit. You get into that and you never have
to worry like I was. I don't know, ten twenty

(27:22):
years ago when the hurricane came in and knocked everything out,
and I had to go from one side of the
state to the other, and the gas stations were closed.
That was bad, That was really bad. I had to
take some cans of beans and soup and such and
go to a grocery store and return them for cash,

(27:44):
and then go pay for gas, which the gas was
going up by the minute. You know, an emergency gas
will double in price in the blink of an eye
because of demand and also because of you know, price gouging.
You know, I literally had to cash in some antique
silver coins that I had been saving, that I had inherited,

(28:08):
just to put twenty bucks worth of gas in the tank.
And I'm talking like four hundred dollars worth of coins
in emergency became twenty dollars worth of coins. So don't
think when they're on television tell you, you know, buy silver,
buy gold by bitcoin or something like that. When the
power's out and there's an emergency, things are worth what

(28:30):
somebody's willing to pay for them. And I got ripped off.
I got screwed horribly, but I had no choice. I
had to get from one side of the state to
the other because of a family issue, and I didn't
have cash on me. That's, you know, god willing, never
going to happen again. Put some gas in your tank,

(28:51):
put some dollar bills in your pocket, and don't think
I'm safe because I've got gold sitting in an account
somewhere that I've never even seen. You know, most people
don't buy physical gold. They have certificates saying that someone
else is holding that gold for them. That's worthless in
an emergency. I mean, that's less and worthless in emergency.

(29:14):
That's a liability in emergency because you want to protect
you don't want somebody else to get that account number
and all that kind of thing. But even physical precious
metals and such pretty much worth pennies on the dollar.
If in an actual grid now situation, you need to
have real folding money, dollar bills, tens, twenties, whatever. If

(29:39):
you don't have cash, forget it. You can't buy a
bottle of water, you can't buy a gallon of gas.
You better have some cash on you. And if they
ever get rid of cash, we are in big trouble.
We're in huge trouble because you're not going into seven
to eleven or a grocery store and bartering with a

(30:01):
gold coin not gonna happen. I mean legally they're not
even allowed to take them as currency, but even so,
they're gonna give you pennies on a dollar. I mean,
you will walk in there with five hundred dollars worth
of gold and walk out with five dollars worth of
guests and a bag of chips. Don't ever get suckered

(30:27):
into that complete utter bullshit that is marketed by most
conservative outlets. Gold may be a wonderful hedge for a
long term investment. You need cash, and if you don't
have cash, you need something you can trade. You know,

(30:49):
I remember when I was down at Athens, Georgia. This
was way back around year two thousand or so, there
was a bad ice storm powers out for a while.
You know what people did. They traded cigarettes. Smart people
who didn't even smoke went out and got cartons of
cigarettes the day of the storm. Because they've been through

(31:11):
it before, they knew what it was to expect. They
bought cigarettes, and they bought liquor. And these were non
smokers and non drinkers. Why because three days later they
needed food, They needed anything you can think of. To survive,
and they could take a pack of cigarettes and they
could go to down the street to their neighbor or whatever,

(31:36):
or a bottle of whiskey or whatever, cheap vodka, it
doesn't matter, and they would trade that for what they needed.
Those were very smart people. I learned that back in
I don't even know, nineteen ninety nine one, somewhere in
that era. You may remember the big snowstorm, the Snowmageddon

(31:57):
or something came through there. I think that was a
couple years later. Actually this was an ice storm. But yeah,
common sense, black white rural city people. First thing they
did was buy all the cigarettes and alcohol they could get,
not because they were going to use it, but because
they could trade it in an emergency situation. You can't

(32:20):
eat a dollar bill. If someone's willing to take cash,
that's great. They're going to take cash far more likely
then they're going to take credit. But you can certainly
trade for something to eat. And if you got somebody
that wants to have a drink or a smoke, they're
old trade if they're used to it, maybe even addicted. Sorry,

(32:42):
you know, you can deal with that later, but right now,
if you need a cigarette or a you know, glass
of vodka. Hey, you got some dry beans on you,
You got some salt. I mean, you need salt to live,
you know, never forget that. Always store salt, store salt,

(33:02):
and store water, and store some oil, some kind of fat.
And then you know, add into that your carbs and
your protein, because though salt, water, and fats are essential
for survival, you cannot live without them, regardless what EBI
tells you. But yeah, be very practical in that regard.
You know, day four, day five, day seven, day thirteen,

(33:26):
you start seeing some things you don't want to see.
People robbing and stealing, attacking other people, selling themselves on
the street. Yeah, I mean very quickly, you will see
prostitutes that were never prostitutes before are now out on

(33:47):
the street. And all they had to do was go
buy two cartons of cigarettes. Something to think about, maybe
a little unpleasant to think about. But I've been through it,
been through it too many times, been through I don't
even know how many hurricanes. I don't even know how

(34:08):
many hurricanes in forty eight years, how many ice storms,
how many snowstorms? And now three terrorist attacks back to
back in three years, and one of the odds that
I would have been. They always seem to happen on
a Saturday night in the fall. You know, maybe law
enforcement on a look at that. All right, y'all, So
a little bit on herbs. I'm just gonna do prickly pear. No,

(34:33):
I'm sorry, I'm gonna do sable palmetto. This is not
a plant that likely grows in your area. It does
grow in the coastal swamps of North Carolina, but you'd
barely ever see it really until you hit about Beaufort,
South Carolina, where there was a mass shooting last night.

(34:55):
So again, these people went out to a restaurant or
a bar and didn't come home. You cannot predict anything.
You have to be aware of your surroundings, the people
you're around. I mean Southport, North Carolina, and barely what
two weeks ago, some nut just pulls up and I

(35:15):
mean sails up, I guess in his boat and opens
fire on a bar. I don't know things are you know?
That's one not only can you not predict things are
going from bad to worse, And sometimes it's politically motivated,

(35:36):
sometimes just a lunatic, and sometimes there may be some
psychological programming that has happened. I don't think it's a
coincidence that so many of these mass shooters, whether they
were liberals or who knows what their politics were, transgendered
or not. I mean, really a lot of them have

(35:56):
been veterans. I mean, you suspect strongly that there has
been some infiltration in the psychological health aspect of some
of our veteran services. Can I prove that, No, but

(36:19):
there does seem to be a pattern. And you know,
while I have the utmost respect for our military, it's
also very regimented and could easily be infiltrated by someone
with bad intentions if they wanted to. And you get
a bunch of people with PTSD and put them on
psychological drugs and antipsychotics and antidepressants and put them through

(36:42):
all kinds of behavioral training and counseling. If the wrong
person had hold of those controls, it could be really bad.
And I'm not sure that hasn't happened. So I mean,
that's just another But see, the thing is, at the
end of the day, we can't control any of it.

(37:04):
And where I'm going to tell you to be prepared
with herbal medicine, and I may tell you to keep
your pantry stocked and some water stored. You also need
to be spiritually prepared. No one knows when their time's
going to come, you know. I also do a podcast
called The Uncensored Catholic. I have a second newsletter, so

(37:28):
every morning I send out what I call Gospel Reflections.
There are the mass readings of the day, one excerpt,
usually the Gospel, sometimes something from the Old Testament, but
you know, usually the Gospel, occasionally a Psalm. Whatever the
mass readings are for the day, and I give you
my commentary. You know, I'm not going to preach at you,

(37:53):
but I would at least encourage you to take a
look at it, see what you think. Send me an
email if you can't find it Judson at Judson Carrol
dot com, Southern Aapole Legend Herds at gmail dot com.
But you should be able to find it, maybe knowing

(38:14):
that any minute our number could come up. You want
to take a look at things and try to set
them in order. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm
gonna say. But that's another aspect of preparedness. Now. Sable
palmetto or palmetto there are four varieties that have been
found useful in herbal medicine scrub palmetta meadow, Mexican palmeado,

(38:39):
bush palmetto, and cabbage palmetto. Only one shrubform variety is
named to my area, and that is dwarf palmetto. As
I said, this gets far more abundant once you get
down to the southern part of South Carolina, going into
Georgia and Florida, but it may grow in your area.
The palmetto is actually the state tree of South Carolina,

(39:01):
and there are various varieties. The Plants for a Future
says medicinal use of cabbage palmetto. The berries of seeds
have been usedful in the treatment of grass sickness. I'm
not even sure what grass sickness is, so I have
to look that up. Also for low fevers, headache, and
weight loss. Now, saw pal meadow is also in the

(39:22):
same family and it is very good for prostate inflammation.
You absolutely want to look at that. The PDR Tradition's
Desk Reference for herbal Medicine says, in human studies, saw
pal meadows mechanism of action in the treatment of brent
benign prostatic hyperplasia, enlargement and socially, may have multiple sites

(39:46):
of action and involves an anti androgenic and anti testosterone
and estrogenic prosperties. SAW Palmetto has historically been used as
a treatment for prostate enlargement and chronic cystitis, as well
as a mild diuretic. So the palmettos do You often

(40:07):
call them palms, but they are like small palm trees,
very unique in their form, have various uses diuretic, good
for bladder infections as is stitis, but especially for prostate enlargement.
Also have traditionally been an invaluable source of food, especially
food and emergencies. So look into your palmettos. If you

(40:31):
don't have one in your area, maybe you can grow one.
If you have specifically an issue with prostate enlargement what
do they call it BPM or I can't remember, look
into getting some salt palmetto. And you may also want
to look into pumpkin seeds which also help. So short

(40:52):
segment on herbal medicine. Long segment on you never know
what the hell is going to happen and trying to
be prepared for it as best you can. And remember
my YouTube channel, I have free herbal lessons on there.
I have free guitar and mandolin lessons on there. I
have cooking lessons on there. I do a lot of stuff,
but I am starting to do this kind of very practical,

(41:15):
very very practical. If for one of a better word
prepping videos, like I said, it's Judson Carroll, Bushcraft and Woodcraft.
I've got herbal medicine one oh one. I've just looked
for Judson Carroll on YouTube, and please do sign up
and share it with friends. I'd really like to grow

(41:36):
that audience. If I can get my audience on YouTube
the same size it is through my podcast, I can
actually make a few bucks off of it, which would
not be a bad thing at all. I mean, the
Bible says the workers do his pay, and I put
a lot of time and effort into this stuff. So
share a friends, family and loved ones, and please get
in touch if you have any questions. Practical common sense

(42:03):
is all I'm talking about. And man, I mean, you
just never know what you're gonna wake up to in
the morning. You never know. I mean, I remember the
terrorist attack two three years ago on Thanksgiving. It was
the night before Thanksgiving. I took my dog out for
a walk them down at a relative's house, walked down
the street. Everything's just nice and pleasant. It's a little cool.

(42:24):
I'm thinking, all right, this is gonna be all right.
It's gonna be a good Thanksgiving. We'll roast to turkey
and you know, has the cranberry sauce and everything makes
them dressing and everything you're looking forward to. And boom,
everything went out. Everything went black. Just walking into the
street and everything went black for like one hundred miles

(42:44):
in every direction. There was no Thanksgiving turkey the next day.
There was no oven to cook it in. I mean,
there were a lot of people that were hungry the
next day because that's exactly what they planned on. Well,
you know, at least, you know, in my family, we've
been through it before. We tended to plan ahead. There
was there were things in there that could be cooked

(43:06):
or in the fireplace, soup and sausages and you know,
beans and various things. And we were all right. We
survived a lot better than most people, a whole lot
better that people died. People died, and you just never know.

(43:26):
So y'all have a great week, and I'm going to
talk to you next.
