Oh, I understand and agree, FreshFoodie, about unexpected circumstances. But these dogs that my vet and I were talking about were receiving the very, very expensive (and not always 100% effective) treatment for heartworms. So you have to wonder, if they can afford the treatment, couldn't they...

My vet and I were just complaining about the same thing. He said he was currently treating 10 dogs for heartworms, which is 100% preventable. People want to skip buying those expensive heartworm pills. They just end up either killing their dog, or spending 10 times as much treating it.

Here s another herb that I really want to grow, Comfrey. I used to love comfrey tea, but it's not so easy to find anymore. Apparently there is some controversy over its medicinal use. I also recently found out that it is the major component of allantoin, which I use to speed recovery from cold...

You know, I guess I never realized it. But you're right; Ken dolls don't have nipples. I wonder if GI Joe dolls do? I think men would look pretty good without them. That is, of course if they were also as buff as Ken!

Are you also lucky enough to have gotten the tomatoes out of your garden? We don't quite have good ripe ones yet. It rained so much this spring that everything in the garden got planted late. But you're right; a simple tomato salad beats all the lettuce in the world!

Another excellent book on this topic is Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House, 2013) by Lissa Rankin. Dr. Rankin is a practicing physician who believes and proves that you can't really heal the body without involving the mind and spirit. It was very eye-opening to me.

This is not funny, but apparently women's breasts are now optional. At least, according to the medical fear-mongers who encourage women to get them removed because they "might" get cancer. I am still in shock over Angelina Jolie's choice and announcement. It goes against everything natural and...

Thanks Rayne for the article! It's really great. It has links within it to other articles about particular herbs. I'm really interested in wild ginger, now, after looking through this.

I'm one of those people that need to supplement. Definitely go to your doctor. There is a blood test that will tell you your levels and whether you need to supplement. I went for fatigue a while back and my doctor found that both my vitamin B and vitamin D levels were too low to be healthy. So I...

No, I don't mean illegal. I mean are there any useful herbs that grow in the shade? We just moved away from my sunny yard and herb garden to a house with a wonderful, very shady yard.

I'm not sure I believe anything kills fleas – natural or chemical. I'm going to try the diatomaceous earth, but I'm really discouraged about trying to get rid of the little pests.
