Help us build this virtual library
Message from Rick,
The internet is a great place to help us research spiritual and healing information. With so many people in the world who don't have health insurance we have to do what we can to help each other along the way. Just because you find a document on the web that makes a particular claim doesn't mean that it's cast in concrete or the word of god(dess). But assuming you find more then one reference to the same item it then holds more truth.
The cost of health care are causing more and more companies to reduce coverage and now it's important for you to learn that many of the drugs taken are derived from plants that grow freely on the earth and can be purchased at a much more affordable savings. Something as a cup of tea taken three times a day can combat a nasty attack of bronchitis. I know this because I myself, had no insurance at one time and needed to manage it myself.
In the days of the Native Americans who lived here in the U.S. they had to rely on the same type of knowledge and understanding from the "Elders" and "Witch Doctors" as crazy as they may have seemed at times.
By cutting and pasting useful data to share with others, you become a member of this collection of Elders sharing your wisdom that you have encountered along the way.
This doesn't mean that what works for one, works for all but, it sure helps others to point in the right direction and reduce suffering. For example, many of us know that the herb White Willow Bark works just like Aspirin and that it contains the same chemical makeup but grows as a plant right here on the earth.
Just like Aspirin for some people, it can upset your stomach or cause heartburn but used in moderation it works wonderfully and just as well in heart patients who take the little white pill each day.
I guess the thing to remember is to always "start slow" and always remember that MORE is not always better. Using herbal remedies can be very effective but.. Just like Belladonna can cause a relaxing euphoric state and grows wild in Texas places, used in excess can kill you. This is why it's not allowed to be collected and sold in certain places.
It's like the concept of fire... Fire can keep you warm and help you survive a cold evening but abused, it can kill just as easily.
Every day we're alive, we learn something new.. but it's important to share what we learn with others who can benefit from the knowledge allowing us all to move one step higher on the ladder of life.
Namaste, Blessed Be..!! Love and Light to you all.
