Psychedelic mushrooms can do more than make you see the world in kaleidoscope. Research suggests they may have permanent, positive effects on the human brain.
In fact, a mind-altering compound found in some 200 species of mushroom is already being explored as a potential treatment for depression and anxiety. People who consume these mushrooms, after “trips” that can be a bit scary and unpleasant, report feeling more optimistic, less self-centered, and even happier for months after the fact.
But why do these trips change the way people see the world? According to a study published today in Human Brain Mapping, the mushroom compounds could be unlocking brain states usually only experienced when we dream, changes in activity that could help unlock permanent shifts in perspective.
The study examined brain activity in those who’d received injections of psilocybin, which gives “shrooms” their psychedelic punch. Despite a long history of mushroom use in spiritual practice, scientists have only recently begun to  examine the brain activity of those using the compound, and this is the first study to attempt to relate the behavioral effects to biological changes.
After injections, the 15 participants were found to have increased brain function in areas associated with emotion and memory. The effect was strikingly similar to a brain in dream sleep, according to Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, a post-doctoral researcher in neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London and co-author of the study.
“You’re seeing these areas getting louder, and more active,” he said. “It’s like someone’s turned up the volume there, in these regions that are considered part of an emotional system in the brain. When you look at a brain during dream sleep, you see the same hyperactive emotion centers.”
In fact, administration of the drug just before or during sleep seemed to promote higher activity levels during Rapid Eye Movement sleep, when dreams occur. An intriguing finding, Carhart-Harris says,given that people tend to describe their experience on psychedelic drugs as being like “a waking dream.” It seems that the brain may literally be slipping into unconscious patterns while the user is awake.

Conversely, the subjects of the study had decreased activity in other parts of the brain—areas associated with high level cognition. “These are the most recent parts of our brain, in an evolutionary sense,” Carhart-Harris said. “And we see them getting quieter and less organized.”
This dampening of one area and amplification of another could explain the “mind-broadening” sensation of psychedelic drugs, he said. Unlike most recreational drugs, psychotropic mushrooms and LSD don’t provide a pleasant, hedonistic reward when they’re consumed. Instead, users take them very occasionally, chasing the strange neurological effects instead of any sort of high.
“Except for some naïve users who go looking for a good time…which, by the way, is not how it plays out,” Carhart-Harris said, “you see people taking them to experience some kind of mental exploration, and to try to understand themselves.”
Our firm sense of self—the habits and experiences that we find integral to our personality—is quieted by these trips. Carhart-Harris believes that the drugs may unlock emotion while “basically killing the ego,” allowing users to be less narrow-minded and let go of negative outlooks.
It’s still not clear why such effects can have more profound long-term effects on the brain than our nightly dreams. But Carhart-Harris hopes to see more of these compounds in modern medicine. “The way we treat psychological illnesses now is to dampen things,” he said. “We dampen anxiety, dampen ones emotional range in the hope of curing depression, taking the sting out of what one feels.”
But some patients seem to benefit from having their emotions “unlocked” instead. “It would really suit the style of psychotherapy where we engage in a patient’s history and hang-ups,” Carhart-Harris said. “Instead of putting a bandage over the exposed wound, we’d be essentially loosening their minds—promoting a permanent change in outlook.”

ANXIETY, TENSION, RESTLESSNESS, PANIC FEAR I.E (KAVA)

Kava & Anxiety

Anxiety is a symptom. People who feel anxiety experience muscle tension, restlessness, panic, or a sense of impending doom. They often also have anxious thoughts, such as fears of dying of a heart attack, fears of embarrassment or humiliation, or fears of something terrible happening. In addition, they often have uncomfortable physical sensations, including heart palpitations, sweating, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Some people with anxiety disorders perform certain rituals or avoid certain situations in order to cope with anxiety.

People gain relief from things including anxiety, stress, and insomnia.  These things are similar and often go hand in hand. People having actual clinical panic attacks, hyperventilating etc. seem also to have anxiety-induced depression. In wholistic medicine we don't just treat the symptoms. We look at the whole person and empower them to nourish and strengthen their body, mind and spirit so that it can heal. While Kava can interrupt the cycles of anxiety and depression we recommend taking steps to increase physical activity, improve your diet, as well as take measures to improve your life and take time for yourself to meditate and unwind.  If St John's Wort is nature's Prozac than kava is nature's Valium, or Xanax. Kava doesn't overpower you. It relaxes you muscles and calms your emotions without changing your personality. You are still yourself, just not as tense or anxious. Six double-blind studies have been done with people that have agro phobia, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, or adaptation disorder. They all rated having moderate to severe anxiety. They were given a low dose of kava extract three times a day during differing periods of time. The conclusions were that anxiety had significantly decreased and interestingly enough had fewer side effects that even the placebo.   Let's look at kava versus the super drugs like Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. Several studies have been done in Germany as well and here in the United States comparing kava to benzodiazepines i.e. Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. The results have consistently shown that the participants gained relief from their suffering and that kava compared well to these drugs without the latter adverse side effects. In studies where it was measured, kava actually enhanced mental functioning. These results look quite promising. You can buy this herb in a tincture for small children or make your own.

DRUGS MASK SYMPTONS; stores its vanadium

Painkiller Addiction and Medications: Then see how it stores its "toxic-vanadium" in some organ when mapping of the iris is known.

Dave Schrader interviewed Dr. Gregory A. Smith , who founded a medical group that focuses on integrative medicine for the treatment of chronic pain and prescription narcotic dependence and addiction. He discussed how powerful pharmaceutical corporations legally manufacture and distribute addictive and often deadly medications with the full authority of the US government.

Although the US citizenry constitutes only 5 percent of the global population, Smith revealed, Americans consume a whopping 80 percent of the world's hydrocodone, which is found in painkillers like Vicodin and Norco, as well as 50 percent of all the prescription drugs in the world.

According to Smith, this overwhelming reliance on medication is due to a deliberate shift in medical philosophy which has focused on the treatment of symptoms rather than solving the root cause of ailments. Driving that agenda, he said, is the pharmaceutical industry, which reaps huge profits by ensuring that people continuously need medication. "Let's face it, sick people that don't die are great for business," he observed, "because they keep coming back every 30 days for a prescription," often for years or even decades over the course of their lifetime.

For the elderly, their SS, medical insurance are necessity's for hospital, and for that reason are often kept longer than necessary. Some take operations that are ignorant but great for profits. The elderly are easy targets and don't talk back. Don't go in the hospital on week-ends and at the end of the month if they need money, and stocks are down that month.

Additionally, he said, economic factors like taxes and regulations have forced doctors to treat more patients per hour than in previous years in order to simply keep their practices in business. As such, doctors who devote time trying to treat their patients' ailments often make far less money than their colleagues who merely prescribe drugs to combat symptoms. Since the FDA receives the majority of their funding from the pharmaceutical industry, Smith said, the government is unlikely to put a stop to this broken medical system and, therefore, the onus of protecting one's health falls on the individual. "The days are over where you can simply just blindly trust the doctor or the system to do what's right for you," he warned, "you have to ask questions."

In the end, Smith suggested that people ask their doctor if their are alternatives, specifically natural remedies, to drugs prescribed to them. Should they be dissuaded from such approach, "it's time to look for a new doctor." Ultimately, people need to take a more proactive and informed approach to their own health care.

Now find a doctor who is not threaten by alternatives herbals i.e. or, one who actually know anything about them at all in USA. Brazilian doctors are taught in their medical school's of alternatives medications.

One, of my gifts is reading the iris. Much destruction come from drugs (and all chemicals are a form) and shows where they lodge and destroy tissues becoming a toxin to regaining health. My advice as an herbalist, find an alternative to the drug.

This body's eye- maps out drugs (tan color) in the stomach area (1st most important zone that 'rickshaws' key element's to the rest of the body.) In a normal iris the white acid stomach is its abnormal (pH level) This circle is not normally show if it's a normal pH, only when its chronic and in this case a major problem

Note: the 7th zone has rosary beads (showing the blood its affecting). This too is not shown if it's not chronic. Now you know their main problems and where it's starting from; and, it's a younger body so the tan (drug) problem will get worse, change by getting darker as shown below. Kids who take drugs with a weaker constitution as this iris is showing is destroying their future. I could tell you more on this iris, but won't.

I don't know what this man is peddling, nor why, but, some are beginning to and teach others in a book, radio show or etc.

 Blow this up: This body has a stronger constitution, meaning it has a tighter weave/texture. That's why they may endure  toxins a bit better than the iris above with the loose weave. However, it too, had or had a drug problem that has enter not only the stomach area but, (the 6 zone) colon (the yellow is mucus and the green indicates cancer. Now you can see how it all works when we use drugs as this body is  going to be destroyed with cancer maybe? (its all up to your eating habits and plants not drugs. You can see the chronic condition of the black spokes (parasites) eating on the disease tissue.

COFFEE BREAK; COOKIES

They're is more than one way for coffee breaks...Take 'em to work, give to your coffee drinking friends, only one, more for you. (Lift your depressions with coffee not sodas which is 4 times as bad for all of us.)

Coffee Walnut Cookies

 

Ingredients;

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup walnut halves
• 3/4 cup of sugar * or less, 1/2 honey makes them moist
• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 sticks salted butter

or add pecans instead of walnuts

Procedures

1. 1st
   Combine the flour, walnuts, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the walnuts are finely ground. Add the ground coffee and pulse to mix. Add the butter (cut in several pieces if firm) and pulse until the mixture looks damp and crumbly. Drizzle in (the brandy flavoring is optional) and/or vanilla extract and pulse until the dough begins to clump up around the blade. Remove the dough, press it into a ball and knead it by hand a few times to complete the mixing.
2. 2nd
   Form the dough into a 12-inch log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably, overnight, or up to 3 days. The dough can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Brings out the flavors.
3. 3rd
   Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut the cold dough log into one-fourth-inch-thick slices. (If the dough crumbles when you cut into it, let it soften for several minutes.) Place the cookies at least 1 inch apart on silicone-lined baking sheets. Press a coffee bean into the center of each cookie.
4. 4th
   Bake the cookies 150 f. until light golden brown at the edges, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking. Let the cookies firm up on the pans for about 1 minute, then transfer them to a rack with an off-set spatula.
5. Cool completely. These cookies are delicious fresh but are even better the next day. They can be stored in an airtight container for at least a month.
6. When cutting some of the sugar: add sprinkled powdered sugar then the bean as a topping for company?

NATURAL SOURCES OF EPHEDRA

Ma Haung or Ephedra is one of the greatest lung herb when used with prudence and skill. The following is my experience with this herb as an herbalist for my lung problems especially for asthmatics. It makes most breath better, all winter, spring or fall. Comfrey is another such herb that may have killed one while the drug companies kill millions every year. Drugs are he number three killer in the USA. You will find these companies are the most wicked men in the latter day spoken of in the scripture horeing out with the FDA, Wall Street, AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

These pages exposes Pharmacy Company’s real intent for taking Ma Haung and other such herbs (Comfrey Root) for taking the two best herbs off the USA market for lunds, soley for their own pockets at our expense. They do not own plants/food/ or herbs. We have the right to choose for ourselves how and what we need for our bodies and healh. You know as well as I do they are doing the same with GMO foods. It’s all the same reasoning’s.

Sherm's herbal walk

Examples of Synthetic sources

Most of the L-ephedrine produced today for official medical use is made synthetically as the extraction and isolation process from Herba Ephedra is tedious and no longer cost effective.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephedrine

I am also a diabetic so and cannot take their steroids for asthma without doubling my blood sugar and size. Insulin cannot be in control when taking this asthma medication. Antibiotics ruin my health to fight disease adding parasites to eat other parasites only compound the basic problem.

I have never have taken Ma Haung every day just when I need it because you cannot buy it openly anymore and the government (backing of the drug co. to control the best healing herbs). It is not against the law to take it, just buy it within their said limit. You can grow it, dry and grind it for your own use. Therefore, I have to use what I have sparingly. I am now trying to grow it myself from seed and a plant.

1. The herb was Ephedra or Ma Haung by Solaray for asthmatics but this co. does not make this product anymore because the FDA has scared them off with threats.

It cuts into the pharmacies and the medical profession asthma big money maker businesses, including all the middle men in this business to the selling of its substitutes for this herb. They’re trying to control the herb and supplement market. It's is of the biggest conspiracy to control herbals that will cure diseases. Metformin, a diabetic drug is actually a white powered herb from a Lilly from Africa. It's too over-processed if it’s white and patented chemicals. The pharmacy companies are even selling Ma Haung or Ephedra in capsules found in the H.F. stores! There is definitely a double standard going on here. You can order “Pure Ephedrine by NVE Pharmaceuticals” from this drug company! Here's just one sample to control of this market! Where’s the GOV. FDA?... (On their side.) Yet, we see FDA’s contradictions continually, like with Avandia, killing many of heart attacks and Celebrex as they make excuses for possible deaths: This drug has and is harming millions has been left on the market because...”certain benefits out ways the risk...” says FDA. Can we herbalist say that?

Ephedria or Comfrey Root could make the some claims of cures, but don't have the powerful Drug Co. to pay off the oppositions. Lets bow to our American Gods the FDA, AMA, and the drug lords of Wall Street. Unless we demand more we will never get any cures for diseases!

Note the statistics differences, what about Ma Haung or Comfrey that has harmed seven people? Give me a break! In addition, 300,000 Doctor caused deaths is the second leading cause of deaths in our country! It’s just not computing out except for their double standards.

Be sure to read direction carefully: not more than two a day (spaced out) and not at all if you have high blood pressure, or diabetes? However, I did, REMEMBER the medical field’s double standard in giving diabetics steroids that makes it worse! Read herbal warning also, this herb is to be use with much skill and only in emergency’s with asthma. Too many nuts are ruining this great herb reputation for all of us! A cheap high means adrenal problems later. (Adrenal Exhaustion) Dear Youth any substance that speeds you up as it will run your adrenal. Then, chronic fatigue will set in later and most don't know how to cure it. These drugs settle in your brain and nervous system. There's not enough room to tell you the toxic consequences of abusing any, drugs, herb or(uppers.)

Their’s no permanent weight-loss to speak of with Ma Haung. If you are taking this in hope to maintain your weight problems you’re going to be disappointed. By "speeding up the adrenals "means stress" and stress causes weight gain by using the “stress hormone cortisol” which will defeat and weight issues. Ephedra for asthmatic is short term only. A must to have on hand for flair ups. If you’re waking up tired on ephedra or any drug stop taking it immediately, as it will be too hard for the adrenals to handle the over-load
.

BELOW ARE A LIST OF OTHER HERBS FOR ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES:

Licorice Rt. is for adrenals; it is a good natural steroid to replace steroid drugs when used correctly.

Natural does not mean to abuse nature. Nature will always win. Your body is made up from the dust (nature.) Therefore these (nature/natural laws must be obeyed to achieve opium health. Even God has to obey these same laws...”...it said in the scripture, if He, "even God-Lord" was disobedient to these laws ..."even the elements would refuse to obey Him"... (God)..,” God is subject to these temporal laws too. (God is in charge of our spirit and, Nature's in charge of the physical-temporal body i.e.

Ma Haung has to be the organic whole leaf and, no other fillers like caffeine herb like in an upper found in "Stacker" for weight. They have too much caffeine etc. making the formulas very unwholesome to be ingested by anyone, especially for any child. There are many piranhas in the health as well as the drug business. They do not know what they are doing with herbs and their formulas are just ignorant hype.

2. Next herb to aid asthma and allergies; is Licorice Root 450 mg for the cough it is the replacement of steroids and its effects (it’s a natural source of corticosteroid's). It will help with stress and with inconstancy problems. Do not take if you are too low or too long using potassium. “It’s interesting to note that the ancient Greek and Roman armies gave their soldiers licorice, and they carried it on their persons as our boys have carried penicillin. It was given to allay thirst, but it may have had other benefits that they were not aware. It could have been the reason they were able to stand the terrible stress of war from childhood until maturity and were the strongest, healthiest, continual armies the world has known. Our stress is certainly comparable, however, and it is not going to get any better. People my come to learn that a little licorice when under stress is superior to a sedative or a pain killer for the resultant headache that sometimes follows heavy stress.” Examples of a few herbs that act like cortisone are licorice root, Yucca and Wild Yam, i.e. Licorice being the better in most respect. (Plants are altered of their natural medicine abilities so its best to use only organic of the best quality!) Licorice rt. will ACT like a steroid, when given with asthma sufferers. So many are given steroid for an attack, don’t do both. Cortisone is a steroid sugar. Licorice is a sweetener too, and does not, however, brings on the high insulin reaction that sugar has but not as bad and short term. Goldenseal Root (antibiotic) acts somewhat like insulin and somehow assists the body in the use of sugar gets to any infection and Juniper Berry. Also, Golden Seal root can take drugs out of the body, so be careful when taking this herb along with other drugs.

3. La Dean Griffin (One of my teachers) suggested in all chronic problem to take an enema. Alternatively, just take an herbal natural laxative, keeping your body unclogged up so mucus debris can have a clear passage out of your system in any asthma attacks. (Castor Oil, Prunes anyone? (3-4 a-da every day in the morning.)

4. Next, stop eating until breathing is normal and approx. 1000-2000 mg of ascorbic acid vitamin C every hour.

5. In a crisis or drastic case: empty stomach using up to 1 tsp. of Lobelia tincture in water. (Lobelia removes poisons from the system) and is also a lung herb... or, don't eat!!! Always have lobelia on hand, use with other herbs and with another, “carrier sometimes called catalyse” in other words a catalyst. This "general herb" will carry herbs to the correct location needed in the body acting like a “General” ..."follow my lead on where to go." Read direction too much or little will cause other problems BUT will not hurt anybody. It may make you throw up if not balanced with another herb i.e. Good for all to get out heavy metals, poisons, and clear the blood of heavy toxins. That' why I have it listed here.

6. Use the “mild foods” diet or plant based diet (no meat or dairy) to keep it all at bay. (Plants, vegetables, herbs, and fruits) Add in organic whole grains when not acute. Use Cayenne as the catalyst with Lobelia herbs, as they will quickly be used though out the body. Alternatively, or substitute peppermint or Ginger root (if stomach problems) that will act/work in the same way. Remember, there would be no asthma attack without mucus (inflammation) in the lungs. The cough is nature’s way of assisting to eliminate mucus.

7. Be sure to read my message on “mild foods,” or plant based diet. (No meats, dairy as this kind of protein. Proteins will stops any process of elimination in any disease.) Stop eating it at least during an attack.

8. Other herbal suggestion that could be used are:Dr. Christopher’s Herbs has a “Lung and Bronchial” formula to heal the lung area. It has Marshmallow Root, Mullein Leaf, (lung herbs and so but missing the “Comfrey root”), Lungwort, Chickweed, Lobelia and *Pleurisy Root. Many others such formulas are now coming into the market. Buy it loose, add in Comfrey root, and cap it yourself. (powder it and add it to his formula. (It can be a long-term reversal for healing the lungs.) A coffee grinder will powder the root if needed.

http://www.horizonherbs.com/product.asp?specific=jopoipk8 I don't sponsor or get any adverting money's from any company, but I do order from some of them of certain companies so, naturally I pass it on. You may do better than myself in looking for a good company and, do look for sources in your area of the world. They can't get the organic form yet...and out for Ma Huang.

(Note: They had to take Comfrey root out of the formula because it hit into the drug co. profits however; they use it in cosmetics and other products.) Taking Comfrey Root and Ma Huang off the market proves to us all that the drug co. knows what herb cures asthma and cut into their stock building markets. These herbs in no way have hurt or killed the masses that drugs have. Just check out their lawsuits of deaths and medical records. It Washington, all who are into drug stocks, that are aiding these drug corporations deviant tactics, to use a double standard for monopolizing herbal medicine for sole profits. Going back to Ephedra;

Read directions: Cautions even in herbs such as Ephedra (an herbal drug!) may have for some, has side effects; SUCH AS; of short-term memory loss (foggy mind, but this is not long term. It's usually caused by abuse or too much of the herb. The remedy is to cut back on dosage or make a tincture and use it this way. You do not have to use this herb long term in most cases. Use this herb only long enough to get control to use other herbs possible. In the US the AMA, FDA control the non-use of this great herb. Use it with skill but not for weight problems or a short term high that wears out the adrenals. Big Pharmaceuticals company’s control this herb today and would lose a lot of money if people got control of asthma or other lung herbals such as the herbs mentioned here in this paper. However they market its “copy-cats” to this product to sell for weight i.e. *(double standard!) Take a look at the cautions on the Depakote and Effexor i.e. and all mental medicines and their law suits. Is it off the market? No, they're all back up by FDA. Go Figure. Before you take any drug if you can get around the paid advertiser, they buy up so much ad space, that you can get to find out who has the law suits before you get involved with any drug.*Flu: Licorice root retains water, do no use if you have kidney failure or high blood pressure. Holding onto water will bring blood pressure up, or if your using a diuretic. It works great for inconstancy problems, because it retains water. And some other natural cortisone’s or steroids herbals substituted here such as Yucca, Wild Yam, etc. if Licorice Root is not workable for you, its best not to go onto it for long periods of time.

*Warning signs: Ephedra can cause adrenal exhaustion if abuse. Or, any herb that speeds up metabolism. Use herbs as if you would use for drugs very wisely! You will wake up tired that is your cue or warning, or you will feel jittery or high. These are signs you have overdosed...cut back and take smaller doses. Consider age, weight and height with the dosage. Do not take if you are on mental medications. Read all label carefully and do your research. ...”Certain benefits out way the risk...” (A Noted FDA statement that is abusive but not for any herbs...give us a break)

Post Scripts from here on:
Aspartames with it many counterfeit names to try to fool us, (Why does it do this under cover, under handed names trying to fool us? Most would want to build up a good brand name to consumers.)  They add weight and depressions and should not be used with this herb.

Where the FDA? Aspartame and Ibuprofen, Motrin i.e. will acerbates asthma, most especially if taken at bedtime. Many asthmatics do not realize this. Aspirin, a cole-tar product, ibuprofen, naprozen, drugs, or non steroidal eat holes in your guts. Aspartame is the worse drug for the brain...

*Pain: Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus Amarus) may help or Comfrey, Mullein, *Pleurisy Root but it all take longer time to build up and work. You do have to be faithful. I only had to take 350 mg of Ephedria, Ma Huang for not more than a week and my problem was gone. I keep some on hand if I ever have another problem of not being able to breath. I have bronchial asthma. All herbs are drug watch your combinations.

I use to keep on hand; "MucinexDM," 1200 mg, timed, on hand for the cough-mucus which takes away my breath, If I don't have Ephedra or until I do.

Ma Huang work now within a week it will reverse asthma. Any herbal that work on the liver will, if consistent, will aid in clearing up toxins and thus is needed in asthma,

*Tip: Research showed that Coffee warts off (by 1/3) an asthma attack use about three times a day. It is the prolifin in the coffee. (http://www.foxnews.com/3/25/07,

Ephedra Horizon Herbs: http://www.horizonherbs.com/ to buy seeds to grow your own Ma Haung. They haven’t screwed up that yet, dry the leaves i.e. then powder it in caps, grind it to powder in a coffee grinder i.e. or make your own tincture with ACV. I grow my own Ephedra and Comfrey, and found a site where they will sell you the stem (not as strong) But, the site I can't put it in a blog too many 'Yuppie nuts".... I could tell you where to buy Ma Haung but they hassel the herbal co. to death, till they will no longer sell it because of this problem. However, check the Internet and Canada i.e.

Some companies have *plants too. Check google under Ma Haung ephedra seeds. Only Organic and if it’s for medical "lung" purposes! The pharmacy made is the kind they make meth...out of this brand of ephedra (it's not the same as I'm teaching here.) See synthetic link above.

http://shermsorganicnews.blogspot.com/2010/03/mormon-desert-or-brigham-tea-ephedra.html You might try Mormon Tea for children, however their is no ephedra in this brew, many reports on the herb is false...

This site has many different herbs: FAT-BURNERS TO SUB...FORSKOHLII ETC.

Ephedra in Ma haungmay interact with Pleurisy root in Wild Root

"Ephedra has been, I n the past, banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It should not be taken for any reason. Additionally, chemicals in both pleurisy root and ephedra may act in the same way that the drug digoxin works on the heart. If pleurisy root and ephedra are taken together, their digoxin-like effects may be increased. Potentially dangerous changes in heart rhythm and other serious problems such as visual and mental changes may result. Ephedra should not be taken - especially at the same time as pleurisy root. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible." There are more such hearbal interactions...

KAVA KAVA the HERB (brain)

The U.S.A. “NOW” brand of Kava (also called the “social plant”) is an example of bad herbal product. It’s another sample of a company that uses too many types of fillers diluting its effectiveness, organically grown, wild, nor, can you tell on the label if this Kava is regulated to the correct age to be at the peak of effectiveness. The loss of appetite will accrue naturally without being a stimulate; however their cautions are misleading saying, if you have an appetite loss discontinue? (Thus, presuming liver problems) You better believe these statements are contrived by FDA i.e. to stop this product. *read my other posts on Kava too. This is only a continuation.



Order from another country the GOOD KAVA; see YouTube i.e. for more instructions (8Nakamalathome (stone variety)? (*Panic attack, relaxed frame of mind) http://youtu.be/mnXyaVda5bE I discovered for bi-polar, and depression the cut root is too strong for me. I like the extract powdered root. The other relaxes me so much I'm sleepy, but nice at night. You obviously have to know how to use Kava...it does work but differently on everyone. For panic attacks, ADD or "OCD" i.e. the cut root is prob. better (stronger). I just wanted it for depression, so the extract seems to work for me. Order both and try it to see which on you prefer.

“The effects of "drinking" kava, in order of sensation, are slight tongue and lip numbing caused by the contraction of the blood vessels in these areas (the lips and skin surrounding may appear unusually pale); mildly talkative and euphoric behavior; calming, sense of well-being, clear thinking; and relaxed muscles. (Doesn't accrue in just the powdered extract capsule's) Sleep is often restful and there are no after- side effects the next day. In Vanuatu, drinking strong kava is normally followed by a hot meal or tea. Eating after kava often makes it "kick," causing the effects to be felt for a second or third time. A common bislama phrase to hear in a nakamal is "Kava i kik?" or "Do you feel the kava?" if good kava is used…

Kava Kava has great relaxation powers and is great for providing an overall sense of well-being. When combined with other herbal ingredients (like Dong Quai), Kava, Kava can also be great at regulating the female hormonal system. It has a naturally calming effect on the body which is why it is often used to treat anxiety, OCD and depression. It can also be great at regulating the female hormonal system and also, when combined with other ingredients it’s said to;

stimulate breast tissue growth.

Hawaii’s Kava is not aged correctly either; read the book Kava by Maggie Greenwood and Robinson PH.D. is paperback and probably on Amazon.








JUST WATCH THE FIRST PART, TENDS TO BE TOO LONG, BUT VERY EDUCATIONAL. I went through a lot of the videos and this one seems to be better than the social parties of he natives versions.
My other herb I use for mental depression and to heal the brain is Aswagandhia (love it); Chanca Piedra (mental clarity) and flaxseed oil (1,000 organic milligrams). (It's important to get rid of spokes "see iridology posts," shown at noon in the brain area, or if you see lesions.)
