Love from Mother Earth

More and more physicians are realizing the benefits of the utilization of herbal components in the treatment of their patients. Herbs have been trusted from the beginning of time to take care of the sick and ailing around the world. Entire populaces have become accustomed to only utilizing repeated treatments for their issues instead of realizing that there may be a way to be well again from the issue they have been suffering.

I am not going to tell you that there are cures not being told of diseases plaguing the citizens of the world. Because I do not want to be charged with a federal crime. It is a crime to say that cures exist. Therefore, I will not say that there are cures.

Old wives tales of myths and legends guarded like a powerful secret. Herein lay the storytellers and herbal healers known in fairy tales and the movies. Such as Merlin in the times of King Author. Yet, the first recorded use of herbs as medicine was 5,000 years ago, written on clay tablets by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, known today as modern day Iraq. Yes, from the beginning of time when a man walked the Earth, herbs have been used to treat all manner of issue. In fact, 850 different herbal remedies were recorded by the Egyptians in 1500 BC. There is not one thing new about the healing nature of plants. What is new is how that information is kept from the public in mass.

In this modern world of instant gratification of the synthesized pain reliever, many have turned to the alternate of nature to soothe their needs. Using herbs lack the immediate result that man's product has the ability to convey. Herbs are laughed at in comparison to this synthetic, mind numbing, life-altering, very addictive, and may I say in my opinion, destructive to mind, body, and soul killer. Fast-paced drugs of choice are by far too many. The lives lost to prescription medication is staggering. A 2016 National Study on Drug Health estimated that 28.6 million Americans used illicit drugs prior to their study. Sadly many of the people in this study were very young. These are more likely to develop an addiction in their adult lives. I offer this thought, if instead the utilization of natural remedies were used to aid in the healing process the likelihood of premature addictions would decrease significantly.

Those people, such as myself, who use herbs in their personal lives understand the power of their healing qualities. The knowledge of such useless pain in the world is a constant tear from our soul. We are all restricted in speech especially to the public of how we present the medicinal properties of any herb.

Categorized and listed in this article will be herbs per their researched and approved properties, revealing which organ is aided by the herb.

My hope is that you, the reader, will take the time to research and find the herb that may aid you in experiencing a more fulfilled life without sickness.

Vacation week finally arrived! You're driving your family through the small towns looking at every detail. Stopping to enjoy the scenery, eat, and take pictures. Back in the vehicle following the map to the next exciting adventure on the road in between your destination and the last town, you hit a pothole and your tire blows out. No way, right? This cannot be happening. But it did and you must fix this quick. Pulling the car over to the side of the road you step away from the safety of the confinement of your car and away from the motion of moving forward. You remove the flat tire and put on the spare. After letting the weight of the car down on the spare you see that there is no air in the spare. Now, what do you do? There isn't a repair station or gas station for miles in either direction. The sun is setting. The wooded areas on both sides of the road begin to look more ominous. Keeping your composure, hiding your fear, you have to let your wife and child know that you may have to leave them to walk for help. As you're giving them instructions to stay inside the locked vehicle no matter what until your return, a huge, loud truck pulls up behind you. Out steps the most bearded and rough looking person that you have ever seen. Your heart skips a beat. The person walks to the back of his truck and reaches into the bed of the truck. He is pulling out an unknown object. The only thing that you can do is stand there or walk over to him and talk to him. As you began your advance, he turns around facing you. In one of his huge hands, he is holding a gas jug. In the other just as intimidating hand is an air tank.

"Which are you needing?" the big man asked.

With a sigh of relief, you say, "The air."

Each state here in the USA regulates the licensing of all of its medical practices. Currently, there are no state regulations to become a herbologist. No degree or certificate is required to dispense, use, or recommend herbal usage.

The AHG, American Herbologist Guild, exists as a way for herbologists to demonstrate knowledge and experience in botanical medicinal practices. AHG is a voluntary, peer-reviewed, credential that allows the practitioner to refer to themselves as a registered herbologist, R.H. This organization of registered herbologists promotes freedom of practice and does not support the imposition of state legislation for herbal healers. If you are a knowledgeable herbologist, it may be a good idea to become registered. In addition to becoming more knowledgeable in your field, you will have the support of other people who deal with the laws regarding the use of herbs to the public, laws that anyone, including a person writing articles about herbs, should be up to date with.

Even though there is no state to state regulations on herbal practices there are FDA, Federal Drug Administration, guidelines set for the dispensement of herbs to the public with specific claims of healing of any ailment. The 1st Amendment of The Constitution of The United States gives all living under that document the right to provide information to other people in relation to health tips. However, once specific claims of cures and healing are made concerning an herb's usage then that is stepping into the realm of controlled substances. Learn the appropriate terminology when advising the use of herbal treatments for physical issues. Avoid prosecution of practicing medicine without a license, since in certain contexts, an herbal remedy can be construed as an unapproved drug.

This is the reason that the public is less schooled in the properties and advantages of herbs and their functions. No one, including myself, wants to be charged with a federal crime while trying to help anyone feel better. All the information in this article was carefully researched to ensure compliance with the laws that all must abide by to remain a free individual. This research took weeks. I am still wary of the wording but am comfortable enough to share my article. My hope is that interest may be piqued enough that even one person begins to look into alternative healing.

Please look up and learn the facts about the attempt to keep herbal healing hidden from the public around the world. If you choose to do so here is a good man, to begin with, Dr. Burzynski.

Here is a link to a video of an officer of the law testifying before Congress on behalf of Dr. Burzynski, taken from the movie concerning his life...

Learn the truths. They exist hidden out of greed while millions suffer needlessly.

Life Tip: Teach yourself how to heal naturally. You deserve to feel good all the possible time.
