Wikipedia started with great intentions and was then hijacked. It is essentially an encyclopedia of propaganda now.
I have a fond interest in what I call powerful plant medicines. Think like how some poisonous snakes and frogs are super bright and boldly colored. Distinguishing them from safer less vibrant species.
This is not to say other plants don't have equally powerful or subtle effects but that some plants have obvious potent effects that you would be silly not to notice. This can be seen in.
Bright colors. Essentially exploding with antioxidants. Turmeric, blueberries, beetroots etcetera.
Strong aromas. Fennel, star anise, pine, cannabis, ginger, cloves and manuka.
Bitter sweet flavors. Some of the aroma class fit in here too like ginger, star anise but chillis also, dandelion, kawakawa (NZ native), cinnamon, cacao and salicylic acid from willow bark... aspirin.
Painful poisons. Like stinging nettle which acts as a natural antihistamine and has some form of mast cell stablization.
Or deadly nightshade, which contains atropine and scopolamine.
Then you have fungi. From antibiotic properties to psilocybin.
Anyone who pretends those plants don't have some level of therapeutic value must be missing part of their brain. They're basically screaming out pick me, use me, I have potent properties.
yes absolutely - some things I've never heard of- fascinating thank you. The theory of xenohormesis- the plant is stressed, for billions of years of evolution, so we don't have to be and can get all the benefits of this adaptation- by eating them- without having to go though the stress https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3024065/ . the authors have some interesting conclusions
'A more global question in this context is whether we are losing important health and nutritional benefits by consuming agricultural products grown in soils and conditions that maximize crop yield but that minimize the stress that would have existed in more natural environments. Has the popularity of controlled mono-cropping in the last few decades affected other species as well? The epidemic of the colony collapse syndrome, for example, has devastated honeybee populations. Is the honeybee no longer ingesting stress-derived and stress-protective bioactive nutrients from a variety of plant species, and therefore becoming more vulnerable itself to life's stresses? Does humanity share a similar risk?'
I was going to write a substack on this topic but because some plants don't grow in other regions. It wouldn't cross over very well to an international reader.
A few native species here (New Zealand) have a number of properties I am very interested in. I wish I had the means to further this research myself.
We have a species of stinging nettle called tree nettle which is like stinging nettle on steroids. It can kill you if you fall in it. Super toxic. Not just a wee sting but it packs a wallop. If stinging nettle is a mild natural antihistamine what does this bad boy do?
Kawakawa is fairly common shrub, I mean by complete chance it grows in my garden in various places. I have 8 or 9 shrubs here and I never planted a single one of them. It tastes somewhat like a more herby black pepper. Has been used in traditional Maori medicine.. for generations even after suppression occured (Tohunga suppression act made Maori medicine illegal for a long time and thus much knowledge was lost). Its a strong antiinflammatory. Put it on eczema or burns like sunburn and the next day nearly nothing left. Seriously! Use it every time I get sunburnt now. Drink it in teas they reckon it is a potent detoxifying substance. The sciences is out on that one due to funding and corruption of the pharmaceutical industry if you ask me. No body is bothering to study it further.
Manuka is a woody plant/tree which flowers produce manuka honey. But the essential oil of the plant is like a more potent and versatile tea tree oil. Has some very strong antiviral properties and has been studied against herpes (cold sores) and influenza showing promising findings. Its more effective than acyclovir for example. Much less. Much faster relief.
Every country will have its own varieties. Folk medicines can offer a hint. Some modern studies can show more. Chinese medicine is fairly advanced and has done a lot for herbalism. But the pharmaceutical industry on the other hand does the opposite. Can't patent it. Can't research it. Sigh.
I would love to read about traditional medicine and healing plants in NZ, I wouldn't mind if I don't have access to them (in London!). May be one day I will be in NZ. We have so much to learn from history and it looks like herbal medicine, doing one's own research and trusting one's instincts will be illegal soon for everyone in every country.
I love the sound of Kawakawa. I'm not sure that it matters if no one in pharma/medical establishment is studying it. We are now going to be forming our own local and digital networks of healing and health,(as well as organic, regenerative food growing) almost completely divorced from the main stream.
Not with you on viruses- and you being in the same country as Sam and Mark Bailey- they are in Christchurch I think. Their work on the evidence in the literature for viral existence and causes of diseases is fascinating.
You are lucky you have such amazing plants. I have an amazing local fruit and veg farm though so I can't complain http://suttoncommunityfarm.org.uk
Didn't know you were in London - would be cool if we could do a London readers Meet and Greet and get some like minded people together! I find your writings so interesting and have completely opened my eyes to the idea that viruses don't exist and we are simply diseased due to environment - it makes complete sense to me now - however I am reluctant to speak to anyone about it as my experiences with sharing my anti-Covid views have been generally terrible
My views were received very badly too, everyone (including me) getting very wound up. Now I am completely confident in my facts and my friends are saying 'well all my health problems did seem to come on after the vac' and 'you can't really be sure what we are being told' so something is getting through.
Thank you very much for your comments, so glad that you've seen the light. I enjoy writing and find a lot out just by doing so.
It took a while from my initial reading of Virus Mania a couple of times for the viral hoax to really sink in. The first time I read about HIV and AIDS though it was like waking up from a dream- I thought of course it's not a virus! We have a lot of conditioning and programming to get through, and not just about viruses.
I won't pretend to understand everything you write, but it's refreshing to read alternative takes; especially since virtually everything presented by our establishments is a lie.
The only way I see this changing is for more and more people to give up on the allopathic model and take on the responsibility for their own health and seek alternative approaches when health issues do arise. Alternatives exist, but the current economic model discourages them.
There is a lot of what I call consumable entertainment that leads those who partake down the path of metabolic disorder. A certain amount of entertainment is fine, if one is fulfilling nutritional needs and detoxing efficiently. The problem arises when people think the entertainment is nourishment because it says so on the box, or is fortified with synthetics, or a basic trust in the system that because it is available in the grocery store, it must be ok.
The current economic model also forces many to accept entertainment as nourishment as they cannot afford real food on a regular basis, let alone organic. These are the unfortunate victims of the intersection of economies of scale in food production and the drive for profit as it leads them to the doorstep of pHARMA.
We may always have a portion of the population who choose taste or pleasure regardless of the cost to themselves. Have at it, but don't force medicate me to 'save everyone' from alleged and unproven threats.

I'd say yes.

Hi Daniel,
that's a very good idea. There will be a A Stand in the Park near you Sunday's at 10, have you tried one? https://www.astandinthepark.org/london/

Great to connect with you,

I am sure its been said, but Wickedpedia?
it probably has, but I hadn't heard it x
