I'm going to play a little bit of the song.
I'm going to play a little bit of the song.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome once again to the Hour of the Time. I'm William
Cooper. Today we continue with the Michael Cottingham lecture on herbal remedies, herbal
nutrition, or how to identify and use the plants that are all around you.
Most of which you believe are no good.
Probably would dig them up and throw them away, not realizing the tremendous nutritional and medicinal value contained therein.
This lecture took place on May the 27th, 1998 at our annual conference at the Thunder Horse Ranch.
Please pay attention, take notes, and you'll be amazed at what you're going to learn.
I don't know who he is.

I'm In fact, if you go to the pharmacy and look at poison ivy remedies, some of the, half of the poison ivy remedies out there contain tannic acid, 40% tannic acid.
And it was the Leonean Indians who would try, first of all, to destroy the oils of poison ivy and not help to dry them up.
So, you can use oak bark tea to make poison ivy infections and totally destroy the poison
ivy.
Jewelry, for those who know jewelry, jewelry is famous for poison ivy.
It's like, back on the east coast, jewelry is the most well-known for almost wherever
poison ivy grows, back east, there's always jewelry nearby.
So, it's like, it works really quick.
That's probably the best of all the poison ivy varieties, and then oak bark, burtanic
acid, cleavers, or bedscrawl.
And sometimes even a cactus, prickly pear cactus, the inner juice of the cactus, cactus
juice itself.
I kind of, there's a, we'll talk about prickly pear over on the side, but prickly pear, if
you take a pad and add it in half and then lay it on the inflammation, burns, or insect
A lot of things with that injury.
The cat is using hypotonic.
It sucks.
to draw out, it's a great politic, so it will draw out infection, it will draw out and break
down oils and irritants of the skin.
So that's the answer to your post-hyping question.
Thank you.
Before you go any farther about it, we were talking about the line of the melon and the form of each of your things.
We have a recipe that we take and we have a rule or something like that, that is, one melon, one grapefruit, and one orange should not be with your fruit.
of the world.
I'm a ghost.
Lots of stuff going on there.
Onion garlic.
I've seen friends just take onions and just coming down with a cold, eat an onion and go for a run.
I mean that's pretty, there's a sweat and just the onions themselves are antibacterial and really good at causing stimulation.
And they have Well, they're allium, so they have stuff very similar to garlic.
Not as potent as garlic, but, you know, very close in some of the antibacterial... You know, onions are good, you know, if you can understand the taste and the aspect of them, but... The last... You know, we started talking about bitterness, and bitterness... Even though we have a digestive herb in there, the catnip and the fennel and the peppermint, Bitters.
Just bringing bitters back into your life.
The bitter taste, the missing taste.
I'll tell you some of the problems that you can affect positively by taking bitters.
By bringing that missing taste back into your life you can improve digestion, you can improve upper GI function, which means you automatically improve lower intestinal tract function, which means you can I've seen of all the substances that affect allergies by bringing bitters back into one's diet, you can affect upper respiratory, allergy-related congestive problems more than anything else because you improve the burner, you improve the furnace, and you also improve the elimination of waste, you know, the ashes, the aftermath of
The burner.
The Dutch upper kiai is like a big furnace.
But if you only partially burn the material, and you don't eliminate it, and it sits there, you essentially congest everything, and as a result, a lot of peripheral problems begin.
Alright, well, is cilantro considered bitter?
Cilantro is slightly bitter.
Not a heavy bitter.
But I would consider cilantro in a, if you were going to do light, medium, and heavy bitters,
cilantro would be kind of on the light to medium side.
Not a heavy bitter, not even a real powerful bitter, but it has bitter aspects.
The Chinese are really good at classifying foods as, and medicines, they give them energy.
Not only can a plant have a sour and a bitter aspect, like limes or lemons, they both can
be sour, sweet, and bitter.
I can't think of any plants, I know there was one, I just forgot it was a moment, but
there was only one plant out there that had all five of the tastes.
And to me, I thought that this was a plant to start to look more into and research, because it met all the criteria of the five tastes.
The Chinese are very good at saying, like, ginger is classified as salty, slightly bitter, Acrid.
It has the acrid, sour, acrid, bitter, and sour, and sweet.
I think ginger had all, had four of the five.
It didn't have salt.
It didn't have the aspect of salt.
Of the five tastes, ginger was one.
I think they had four of the five.
But anyways, the medical attorneys were really good at breaking down plants and foods and giving them the bitter, salty, sour, sweet, acrid attributes that, uh, Give them an understanding to practitioners.
Ginger or ginseng?
What is the difference?
Ginseng is a totally different plant than ginger.
The question was, what's the difference between ginger or ginseng?
Ginseng is an entirely different genus, entirely different species than ginger.
The root is, people use both the root, the ginger root, and the root of ginseng.
Ginseng is classified, there's a whole classification of herbs called adaptogens.
And the adaptogens are sometimes very hard to get a handle on.
Adaptogens, to give you an idea of what an adaptogen, how ambiguous it is, but yet what it can do.
Adaptogens, for people who are, say, hot, fiery, super excess, and this hot, fiery, super excess constitution is driving them out of balance.
A ginseng would pull them back to the balance point.
If another person is cold, sluggish, slow metabolism, ginseng would fire them up and bring them back to the balance point.
Very mysterious, hard to get a handle, that's why they call them adaptogens.
You're extreme in this area, but they pull you back to the balance point.
And if you're excess or deficient, they pull you back to the balance point.
They adapt you back to homeostasis.
And how they work is a great mystery.
The Chinese probably have the best understanding of adaptogens.
Licorice is considered an adaptogen.
All of the ginsengs are considered adaptogenic.
They're balanced.
It doesn't matter if you're excess or if you're deficient, they will pull you back.
They will strengthen you by curtailing your excesses and your deficiencies.
That's what a kind of an adaption is.
Ginseng isn't an adaption.
Ginger is not.
Ginger is a straightforward, aromatic, circulatory, chemically, you know, it's a very mechanical, straightforward herbal medicine.
You take ginger root, because it has aromatic oils, it dilates, it irritates, it stimulates.
Herbal irritation is not necessarily detrimental.
It's stimulating, you know.
The fact that you drink ginger tea and it makes you hot and sweaty, Could be called an irritant, but it's also why we hate ginger root tea.
A ginseng doesn't do that.
Ginger will work immediately.
Ginsengs take time.
Weeks, months, years.
And you may never notice the fact that you may one day say, you know, I haven't been sick in three or four years.
And it could be the ginseng, you know.
And that's how adaptogens work.
Sometimes, you know, there is an adaptogen It's called Eleuthero Coccus, it's not a true ginseng.
Eleuthero is the genus, or Eleuthero Coccus is the genus, and it's really good for people who, I would say like my constitution, thin, hot, fiery, they eat, their food is digested instantly.
They just burn, process, and they just, they're adrenaline excess constitutions.
And they tend to be like Roman candles.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Collapse.
When they get sick, they collapse their anatomy, build their energy supply.
And that's what's run on excess concentration.
Siberian ginseng and all those ginsengs actually cool down the adrenal glands and green them down, you know, to more stable points.
They're not burning as hot.
And that's a really good tool.
The Siberian ginseng is really good for a majority of the people in here.
Who may be running hot, active, reading, working, doing this, teaching, well, you know, and just their adrenaline excess, their fire, they're moving.
And when they get sick, they collapse.
They just, they just break.
And they have to rebuild, and they come back and do it all cyclic.
Adrenaline excess people usually gravitate towards corners of coffee, nicotine, they like stimulation, they like work, they like to keep busy, they like to keep going.
They don't like to go to sleep until they lay down and they pass out.
That's their normal access time.
That's a good one.
So, bitters.
A bitter plant would be the number 10 herb because bitters are a missing taste.
They provide a stimulation to the upper and lower GI.
they can do more for so many different virtual problems, like skin problems.
Eczema and psoriasis can be clear, because a lot of eczema and psoriasis is distinctly
dietary related.
If you're congested and stuck down here and not burning and metabolizing and eliminating,
you'll see it in the skin, because the liver governs the skin, and the liver is the main
organ up here in the upper GI.
So if the liver's deficient, cold, sluggish, you'll see problems in the skin.
The skin is the largest organ system in the body, but it doesn't do anything.
It's not self-governing.
It needs to be governed by the kidneys and the blood.
People often come into the herb store and they say, what do you have for weight loss?
What do you have for, and I say, bitters.
Bitters, they're mostly, they will improve your metabolism.
They will improve your usage of fuel.
They will really improve your elimination of waste.
They can clear up sinus problems.
They can clear up respiratory problems.
They can help with gallstone formations.
They can touch upon all of it.
The standard of American affluence, just the standard of American diet that we all have actually come out of.
Some of us, you know, at 27 I was a McDonald's Twinkie coming out of that world, you know.
It's now 37, it's like I eat so much better than I did at 27.
47, hopefully I've curtailed many of the habits and eat even better.
I mean, it's a progressive thing.
But running away from the standard American diet as much as possible.
Occasionally going back to reminiscence.
I mean, how can you totally change your personal constitution and eliminate those flavors and cravings?
I mean, this is not easy unless you go to some sand monastery somewhere and totally
reorganize your cellular structure from the top down.
It's probably because you're down, but you never really have that great of a...
Oh, I mean, yeah, I think you're correct.
Um, more than the calories, the food content, and the nutritional value, I worry about...
I mean, hepatitis is too prevalent to be eaten out all the time.
We travel, we compromise.
I always think we're going to travel, or we go to restaurants, immediately, the moment you walk into a restaurant, you have to compromise.
You've accepted the compromise.
You can demand, you know, at certain restaurants, you can demand a certain protocol and standards be raised a little bit.
But I always feel bad if I'm with some friend who turns out to be, you know, trying to revolutionize.
He wants his food cooked this way and this way, and please tell me he's not an SG and all this.
I'm like, you know, okay, someone will listen to you, someone will respect you, but, you know, the bottom line is, you've walked into the restaurant, you've accepted the compromise, because unless you cook your own food, unless you control that 100%, anything less than that, Now, anything less than growing all your own food and
consuming it is a compromise, and so we have to accept those compromises when we have a food
exertion.
Q. Mr. President, you have been putting wine in your whiskey, sir.
Can't you pay a hot dog for a little bit?
You have to be more of a person.
A certain amount.
How often would you recommend a person eat a certain pay hot dog, slow-mo for many hours,
to blistering with what they have to, cancer sores on their skin, or diabetics, or whatever?
In that case, the compromise is great, so maybe once every five years or so.
Q. I'm not sure I understand.
I'm not sure I understand.
No tofu for the pups.
You're going to eat a hot dog.
Eat a real friggin' hot dog.
100% beef.
You're going to eat tofu.
Get a block of tofu.
Cut it up.
Don't try to pretend.
Turn this dog to chicken dog.
I'm talking for myself.
I'm talking to Ren here.
I mean, this tofu is really a comedy scene.
Just kind of along that humor, driving across the interstate, pulling into a gas station
and saying, yeah, please come in for a blood defy.
Yeah, you're a blood defy here.
But getting going to all those places, getting there, stopping there.
Yeah.
I don't know, did you learn some more bitters for us?
Absolutely.
More bitter substances.
Um, hops.
You know, actually, it's not out of the question to drink a little bit of beer before you eat a dark, penis-stout, really bitter, bitter, bitter, medicinal.
I'm not talking about a six pack, I'm talking about the darkest.
The darkest.
I mean, we're about a six pack before you sit down to eat.
But let me tell you that if you eat bitters before you sit down to eat, you will be ravenously
hungry, you will digest your food, you will eliminate your waste, you will actually feel
like you can, you know, eat a 10 course meal.
If you did a nice dose of bitters beforehand, you won't feel that congested bloated state.
And as a result, you don't have a good feeling.
So you're going to have that as a home remedy.
You're going to have that as a home remedy.
And you're going to have that as a home remedy.
And as a result, you're going to have that as a home remedy.
And you're going to have that as a home remedy.
It's not that quick.
Unless you have what's called an excessive upper gastrointestinal, some people, most people have a deficiency.
There are occasionally some people who eat and immediately, I mean, they just sit down at the fork, they finish eating, and they have to go and evacuate.
Those people don't have the standard American deficient upper GI.
They have the excessive They are just too juicy, too quick, and too, they evacuate, and they usually don't have hard stools.
They usually have stools of maple or oak.
Now, they usually have more of a diarrhea type of constitution.
They're quick.
They eat their food.
They digest it.
They dump it.
They also have the problem of not absorbing enough nutrients, and they have malabsorption problems.
They need to cool down.
They need to go eat okays and things.
Um, what do you do?
They need to use more of the cleaning herbs, more of the silica elm or the mallows or the marshmallows.
They just need to slow down their juices, their gastric secretions.
But that's just one out of about 10,000 people.
Occasionally all of them.
Oh, this is very important.
Remember, I mean, we're not going in depth on constitutional medicine.
When I teach constitutional medicine, I also reinforce more than ever before that we can have,
and we can balance back and forth between different types of constitutional profiles depending on what we're doing.
We can be predominantly deficient, cold, sluggish, but occasionally we do excess.
We do amazing stress for a week or two.
Our constitution shifts a little bit, but it usually comes back to that same constant pattern.
And also, you know, so our constitution can vary a little bit.
So you might have to tailor your formula.
And remember, by the age of 30, for sure, and in the age of 40 for some people, you know when you're sick.
You know what ails you.
You know your patterns of illness.
And a very key concept, a secret, a secret to longevity, is by the age of 30,
we know our patterns of illness.
It's really because we recognize them and find the tools to support our weaknesses.
Those are inherited and are environmentally acquired weaknesses.
By the age of 30, the virus is going around.
You know where it's going to hit you.
You know your patterns of illness.
So when you start to look for answers, say, my pattern, I need to find tools to strengthen these weaknesses,
you will help yourself to become less diseased.
These inherited, environmentally acquired weak areas will become less troublesome,
and you will live longer as a result of that.
So the constitutions can vary.
You know your patterns of illness.
It's really complete disinformation they've given you.
A lot of this can help to strengthen.
Each one of us out here has weak livers, strong livers, weak kidneys, strong kidneys.
We have excesses, deficiencies, strong points, and weak points.
We know it by now.
All of us.
How about parasites?
Fluids and things.
You ever get into that stuff?
Actually, I think it's a whole other area.
I think we talked about black walnut being good as an amoeba, good for some parasites.
Actually, there's a plant where we go out here after dinner, some of the wormwood, I'll mention about being a really good anti-parasitic amoeba-orientated plant.
And when I'm talking about that, maybe mention a few more plants along those lines.
The bitters, I'll get back to bitters and then get into the viruses.
The bitters, hops, Oregon grapefruit.
Oregon grapefruit is a real famous bitter.
And a real famous bitter in European herbal medicine is a plant called gentian.
G-N-T-I-A-N.
Purple gentian, or just gentian.
It's been one of the major components of Swedish bitters.
Gentian is very bitter.
Very, you know, sweet.
Well, you were talking about having a beer before dinner or something like that as a dinner.
A beer called the dark beers, because they contain hops, and they contain generous amounts of dark, rich, bitter hops.
Dark American beers and dark foreign beers are dark beers that stick to the old tradition of beer making.
Because most of the dark American beer is not beer and you're not going to get any help out of that.
Absolutely.
Unless it's a small brewery like Anchor Steam in San Francisco or something that sticks to the real tradition of really making real beer.
In fact, the only dark beer I can think of that I would consider medicinal is Guinness Dark.
I mean, that's...
It's hard to figure there's no American in the culture.
You know, that's the thing.
I mean, I think that's the thing.
The libraries in here are looking at the 15th and 16th century herbals.
And we were talking about herbal beavers, and he found some hidden and suppressed information that it looked like at one time during the Reformation and the great schism and all.
of the antidepressant, but they were making beers with things like yarrow and hops, and
they were not making them as beverages for intoxication, even though they were beers,
they were making them medicinal, because they were in a sense making extracts, some of the
first herbal extracts, but using the alcohol beer format, and you were coming across incredible
information and usages, and how medicinal beers were actually impacting illness for
a long time, and so the great religious suppressions took place in Europe, a lot of the herbals
disappeared, so unless they were saved in libraries, they were not prescribed.
A key thing, some people like beers as after meals, it's really, I think, the majority
of herbalists and clinical experts would suggest that beers are best done 20 to 30 minutes
before you eat, to really get secretions going, to really set the stage, so that when you
sit down, your mouth is moist, your stomach is waiting, and is ready, and gastric secretions
have taken place.
So, anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, I think, is realistic to take a shot of bitters extract, or to chew on some bitter plants, or make a cup of bitter tea, or drink gin and stout.
And, I really, I mean, think about it in terms of the importance of the fact that it's a missing taste.
It really, when I stumbled upon this little Chinese This is another missing piece of the great puzzle.
Absolutely, the standard American diet does not consist of any bitter substances.
And boom, you bring bitters in, and after thousands of people, you start to see what this little taste that's been missing really can mean.
It's phenomenal.
I mean, if any of y'all suffer from rapid respiratory or allergy related problems, try bitters.
If you've got extra weight and you have a slow metabolism and you feel constipated and congested in your upper and lower GI, try Bitter's.
If you have hemorrhoids or varicose veins or slow sluggish lymph system and it's all because of your digestion, try Bitter's.
Most bartenders have little bottles of stuff called Bitter's.
I don't know anything about it because I don't know how to drink anything that they're used to doing.
What is that?
Absolutely.
I don't know whether to call it Angostasura or Angostasura bitters.
In New Mexico, it's real famous to make Ocha bitters or take some of the bitter herbs.
In Chaparral, bitters take some of the bitter herbs and stick them in a little whiskey so that in the bars, when you drink your shot of whiskey and complaining and feeling nauseous, that the bartender just gives out bitters.
to clear that stagnation or that liver stress, bitters, and actually believe it or not, I don't know if it really happens much, but people used to come in after a restaurant if the restaurant doesn't serve it, or coming off of work, and actually drink bitters before they run home.
Not drink beer or not drink whiskey.
They'd go into a bar, ask for a shot of bitters, sit and talk, drink the bitters, and go home.
And by the time they got home, they were really hungry.
And that was really big with the Italian communities and some of the rural.
Bitters were real big coming out of Europe.
And they came, and somehow people just lost interest in bitters.
You know, bitters are ugly tasting.
Bitters are bad.
But there's a lot of bitter.
You can go to good liquor stores and buy bitters from all over the world.
And they're meant to be used before meals, or people sit around and drink some bitters afterwards.
Because some people don't like bitters before meals, they like them after meals.
It's maybe 1 out of 10 people respond better to bitters afterwards.
But most of them are done beforehand.
Just like the bitter salads of traditional green salads didn't have salad dressings.
They were dandelion greens.
They were bitter greens that were eaten before the big salad, salad, sausage, and big loaves
of rye bread and the big heavy meals.
All of those were bitter salads preceded the big heavy meals in a lot of cultures.
Bitters are very important in eating.
Can you keep in mind somewhere in the discussion the concept of the oscillators and adapters,
the concept of the electrochemical stimulus to kill off the zap of your body?
What do you mean by that?
In the history of radio, it's not that hard to tell you what you're talking about.
I'm not sure what you mean.
We're talking electrolytes or actual electrophotostimulants?
Electrolytes.
Let's talk about these guys, some of these New Age and other type shows where you go and you hold these two things and they give you a certain charge and it's supposed to kill all the parasites in your body.
I don't think there's any substantiations to that.
Yeah, I've never heard anything like that.
You know, they broke rainwater, they broke water down into 20, 30 different categories.
Pond water, rainwater, river water, swamp water, water getting in a tanneroot falling into an oak barrel.
And I also noticed, I've never really read or studied it, but electricity was a big electrical
therapy and they had it broken down for a whole variety of illnesses.
And I think what worries me, I don't know if it's validity, I don't really know anything
about that, I think what really worries me about electricity is the electromagnetic fields
that surround us through, in cities, just the power lines.
I mean, there's the obvious studies that show power lines really do some good activity in
tumors and neurological stress.
And I wouldn't be surprised...
...in tumors and neurological stress.
And I wouldn't be surprised if small amounts of electricity do some beneficial things,
but I don't know anything about bacteria.
The concept was certain frequency affects certain types of parasites.
You're talking about radio frequencies.
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
I have a friend who had gone to Germany and said that the aliens really have affected
this to the point that it's really...
In fact, they use these radio waves, these frequencies, in conjunction with acupuncture
have been phenomenal results for viruses and bacterias.
So, thank you.
And this is what he says.
He's like, he always brings me information on ultraviolet or ozone work.
And you know, I listen and I read his stuff.
And I'm just, you know, I'm just a country, I'm just nervous in a small town.
I like plants.
There are people more qualified to do those rootings out there.
And I'm glad they're doing it because plants do have limitations.
So, yeah, you started doing that, they threw in a third man, then they got a guy who turned
him in jail.
And he was kind of a client with angry and trained by the same deliberate problems people
with the soup.
So, from a perspective, I know it's hurtful.
It's not a good thing.
I've been hearing shadow forces, you know, people bring back inside information to me
and I'm not sure what that is.
I'm not sure what that is.
Well, there's a lot of that, I mean, I'm going to get back to Bitter's, but the shamans who
sing songs, they're in, you know, you take ayahuasca and there's chemical compounds that
cause neural opening, but in order to actually induce visions and hallucinations, historical
ones, that everybody participates in the seeing vision, they've got the chemical openings
there, but what happens is the shamans are singing these thousands of year old songs
at a tijita-like frequency, and there's been a lot of research showing that the songs,
once you're taking the chemicals that are doing the neurological manipulation, that
the frequency causes the same group of people to see the same, you know, vision, and it's
a very similar, coming in from the jungles, but a very similar concept, because those
frequencies definitely, definitely affect, you know, the universe is kind of a frequency
orientation, you know, I mean, this is, and we're part of the universe, you know, and
the molecules on up.
Hobbes, Jordan Grape, Chakral is a bitter, but it's very heavy duty, it's so powerful,
you might want to put a small little bit of Chakral in a formula.
So, Jemisin, Hobbes, Jordan Grape, there's a lot of bitters.
Dandelion greens, a lot of plants with medium bitters.
You taste them and you can deal with it, but they don't say bitter.
You know, they just kind of say, ah, slightly bitter, and you drink it.
Bitters like ginseng and Oregon grape and hops say bitter, and you go bitter, and that's real medicinal bitters.
and they really, you know, they are extreme medicinal taste.
Goldenseal is always a classic bitter.
Goldenseal I don't recommend.
It's endangered, threatened, overused, overpriced, and a little hard on the liver.
What was that bitter?
Gentian root, so many.
I mean, just orange, peony, grapefruit.
Actually not.
Grapefruit is a good bitter if it's unsweetened.
And grapefruit fruit rind is extremely bitter and very good, very gentian-oriented.
And just a little side note, I found for people who are forming gallstones,
a little thing to consider is maybe eating an unsweetened grapefruit first thing in the morning
when you wake up.
It's bitter, it's acidic, it's very stimulating to the grape
down and breaking down and then helping the gallbladder evacuate the formation of the precipitates
that end up actually forming the gallstones themselves.
Again, the reason why it's working is it's bitter.
Bitter substances actually also, and here's another side thing with bitters.
Bitter substances can help people with adult-onset diabetes
because adult-onset diabetes actually can be, can originate because their upper GI is gone now,
shot in a hand vest or whatever, cliche.
It's stagnant, stuck.
And by taking bitters back in and getting the gallbladder, liver, pancreas,
juicing, formating, breaking down sugars, eliminating, they can start to get a dietary bitter control
over their diabetes.
Phenomenal.
Most of the little good diabetic medicines out of the Mexican herbalist tradition, which the rest of the world really doesn't know, but it's phenomenal, is a plant called Brunkelia.
Brunkelia californica.
And this plant actually is so bitter Most people nauseate in bitter, but it's one of the greatest gallbladder, diabetic, bitter digestive stimulant in medicines that there is.
And sometimes people have gallbladder problems and diabetes because originally, pinging back the problems, their digestion slowed down, slowed down, slowed down, metabolism became non-existent, waste elimination.
their gallbladder problems, their diabetes originated because they didn't have the bitters
in their diet. Now, I mean, the bitters you can touch upon, the lower they are, it's the
whitest, the reticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, prostate
congestion, a lot of prostate problems are really a dietary problem, especially for a
lot of sedentary standard American diet males. No exercise, very sedentary, I mean, turning
the TV on or reaching over, looking for the remote is the greatest exercise that they do.
I have my hands and knees looking for the remote, whereas if they start to break a sweat after five minutes, I'll start, you know?
It's just good.
But just bring the interest back in.
Be amazed.
Be really amazed.
You can weight, you can improve breathing, you can improve skin quality, you can improve I have more serious problems with diabetes and gallstones
and you can actually approach them with something that's been missing from the standard
American diet for decades now.
I think a remote that can be used to say bye to all the animals.
Remote that can be used to run laps.
You just laugh and everything happens.
They probably have that.
They probably have a remote that...
Yeah, a lot of laughing going on.
You need a remote that when you let it go it floats over to a hold up holding place on
the wall or something.
No matter where you set it down it just goes back to the same place.
But that's about the test.
Top ten are the reference points for you to go back to, read about, learn on your own
and such and research a little bit.
If you spend an hour learning a little bit more about those top ten, that's ten hours
you can do it but if you have time you can come out of those top ten.
Those top 10 herbs will address hundreds of different problems.
I tell you, I mean, the bitter thing is really amazing.
Bitters are phenomenal.
It doesn't take much bitter to stimulate.
I mean, give me just small amounts, or you could literally make an extract from orange
peel or grapefruit rind.
Make an extract, and then take five, ten drops of it in some water, and don't try to hide
bitters.
Don't try to put it in Kool-Aid or put it in other teas.
Bitters require that you taste them.
The medicine value, the explosion, is right here.
There's no way around it.
You can't put it in capsules and get the benefit.
You can't put it in enemas.
You have to taste it.
It has to be bitter.
You have to.
It's got to be bitter, and you've got to experience it.
And after, you know, here's one thing that I noticed.
Not everyone's like this, but a lot of people who really need bitters, actually, they say, that's not bitter.
It's interesting.
They just, they end up saying, I love that taste.
They crave it.
You know, it just innately comes as they want that.
And it's not bitter to them.
Now, in time, when they've taken it long enough, it becomes bitter.
This is a balance thing that starts to take place, and actually the taste changes.
It doesn't happen all the time.
I said something, just bring some bitters back in.
You know what they are.
You don't want to find them at the grocery store, and you're going to have to pick them
or make them or, you know, unequal of them in the peels, the rinds, like the oranges
and the citrus.
Those things are pretty bitter.
Those are pretty good.
You want something that's bitter that causes you to salivate, and if you do that on a regular
basis, you know, 15 to 30 minutes before your real big meals, you don't have to do it all
the time, but I mean, if you're a baking eggs, pancakes, grits, coffee type of breakfast
person, you might want to do bitters.
If you, you know, I hear the steak and potato, two servings of steak type of person for dinner,
you definitely want to do bitters before.
Having food to require bitters, to just get, I mean, especially when we get older, we must
be honest, our digestion falls apart, and it's down to digestion and metabolism.
You know, bitters can become one of the great companions for aging digestive problems, and
of all the things that's present in America, I think bitters have got more help, more beneficial
for us.
Anything else anybody have time?
530.
Okay, we'll just start, I want to talk about some of the...
We'll talk about more of them after dinner, the same ones.
We can continue and carry it on outside with you and your biases.
We're walking around.
It'll be really nice out there.
Let's talk about viruses.
Let's talk about, let's talk about, I mean, we know antibodies work for bacterial problems.
You know, we just hear more and more.
We have this big fat book in the car about, you know, emerging viruses and I can bring it in.
You can write down the novel.
Some of you may have read it.
You know, I haven't read it in its entirety.
I've skimmed through it, read a little bit of it, and, you know,
it just confirms, I mean, I think we all can agree that some viruses have been made and released
and there's some evil aspects behind some viruses.
I mean, I think I don't have to bring in any experts from, you know, the World Health Organization.
and how we think has said that they should make viruses to curtail the world's population.
And I think we all know that.
You know, so to play it loud, let's talk about the plants that are important for viruses.
I personally have seen viruses in my patients and in my community change.
I've seen viruses go to the point where they are mutating in the human body.
No longer do they just hit a weak area that's your inherited,
environmentally required leak areas.
Your stomach.
Most people, you know, catch a virus in the stomach.
Some people catch it in the lungs, sinuses, lower intestinal tract.
Viruses classically, from what I saw at Hercules, that they hit your weak area and you are continuously
acquired in this weak area.
I've watched the viruses, the last viruses to hit the west coast, work its way through
and, you know, talk to people all over.
You know, I saw a lot of people in town.
I talk to the medical profession people.
You know, and it's core like this.
It builds up.
I saw a virus for the first time act like two or three viruses at the same time.
Go in.
Hit the head.
Hit the lungs.
Hit the stomach.
Hit the intestinal tract.
Stop working for two or three days.
Clear it up and come right back and do the same thing.
Now, is it another virus that's floating around?
Maybe, but when it's the 12th, the 13th, the 14th, the 15th, and people, for the 15th person in the small community that almost verbatim explained their symptoms, I'm like, wait a minute, something's going on here.
They had the same rundown, they cleared up the 2-3 day period, and it came right back up.
I mean, I don't know what that means.
I got it.
It's the first time I've ever seen it.
I'm also watching some of these people, and it hasn't left since January.
That's me.
And these aren't people that catch colds.
These are people that are eating organic foods.
These are people that are diligent.
These are people that know a lot of this, what we're talking about.
And they still, five months later, still have that virus bouncing back and forth in their body.
I have to wonder, with all the tidbits of conspiratorial, it's not even a conspiracy.
I mean, it's a plan.
It's a distinct plan.
I think it's a mixture of three things.
It's a distinct plan to curtail the world's population.
I think it's inadequate for humans who don't know how to deal with science and have been aggrieved by the big pharmaceutical companies.
So you have a distinct plan that's mismanaged, and the main motive for some of them is a greed factor, a vaccine factor.
And what you end up with is chaos, and what you end up with is viruses.
And I don't care, you know, I don't care if they're being made in Alaska,
where I believe there's an element of truth to that, a distinct element of truth.
There's enough evidence to support that.
What our theories mean is that viruses are uncontrollable, have a mind of their own,
have an agenda of their own, perpetuate, reproduce, survive, mutate, adapt,
and use the human body as their source of, as their playground, as their eventual energy factory to cultivate,
so they kill the organism and then they move on, so they kill the human, and they move on.
So, if there's manipulation in genetic engineering on killer viruses,
What in the world are we going to do?
I mean, there are global medicines.
And I'll tell you, vaccines have a dismal history of success.
I mean, contamination, purposely contaminated, accidentally contaminated, side effects, unknown risks, even today, of what vaccines are doing in our body.
From the initial polio, to the initial smallpox, etc, etc.
When do we know?
We won't know.
We don't know what vaccines are doing.
There are really any.
I think they used to be wise initially, obviously on the surface.
But in the long run, I really have a fear vaccines are really compromising the immune system.
And really, if you've got just legal aspects to it, it wouldn't be hard to compromise the immune system through vaccines.
So you think about it, you see viruses, and you may have experienced illness yourself, getting sicker for longer periods of time, just getting over it, and getting sick again.
You may start to notice that this is reoccurring more frequently.
You may notice people begin to hear more words like hospitalization, death, strep, staph, mutation, antibodies not working, viruses mutating, you know.
All these different clandestine black ops, stuff about AIDS, Ebola, green monkeys, all this adds up to something like, there's some viral activity to be very wary of and fearful of.
And I don't know, you know, without being distressed, paranoid, you know, excessively Howard Hughes orientated, washing hands and putting yourself in an isolated situation, it's not, you know, it's not feasible for us I think we have to find and develop tools.
I gave you a lot of the tools already.
I told you about water.
Staying away from chlorinated water.
I told you about organic food.
And these are kind of some foundational things.
You know, believe it or not, bringing bitters back into your life will improve your immune system immensely.
That in itself is a renowned tool to fight viruses.
I told you about foundational, one of the foundational herbs,
that is known as red root for the lymph system.
You've got to learn this plant.
You've got to understand the importance of red root and its electrically recharging of the cell walls
and how it can be the pivotal center, can be the heart of any formula,
especially an antiviral formula.
Some of the herbs to consider, some of them you're not going to know,
some of them you may want to learn.
I would suggest that you write them down as reference points
because these are plants that I have seen work for very serious viruses.
I mean, this is a rather good place to turn.
Where are you going to turn?
Allopathic medicine has no medicine for you when you get a virus.
When I caught Hepatitis, Hepatitis A, I went down, I told somebody this story, I went down, I got my blood work done to see what Hepatitis I had.
And you know what the doctor there recommended to me, the Adventist practitioner doctor, Dr. Dorothy said, now, don't put these things in your milk thistle.
That's all they had to offer, was what I taught them four years earlier, is that you treat hepatitis with milk thistles, because it's a very distinct anti-viral, anti-inflammatory formula that was specifically for hepatitis.
It was great.
It felt good for the patients, practitioners to say, now take your milk thistle.
They don't have anything for viral hepatitis.
They don't have anything for viruses that have a consequence.
It really behooves you, and really, I can't stress the importance, of all the things in the Earth world, of all the things that I fear that are emerging, all the tidbits of things I've heard, I do believe viruses are going to come, and they're going to ravage, and they're going to be of detriment to millions and millions of people.
In 1980, I think it was 1917, 1918, here's a great illustration.
Bob, the great influenza epidemic.
It killed 20 million people worldwide, mostly because World War II was, World War I was going on, they were transporting people all over the planet for the government.
World War I really pushed people all over the planet for the first time in a major way.
I mean, people from all over the world were going, bringing things back.
In New Mexico, this was what first dawned to me, it dawned to me the importance of viruses in urban medicine.
There was no doctors and any consequence in the state of New Mexico at the turn of the century.
Maybe a half dozen in the entire state.
Population wasn't that immense.
Very few doctors.
The influenza, you can go to most cemeteries and look.
1917, 1918.
The height of the influenza epidemic.
It killed 20 million people worldwide.
You can go to small villages and see entire cemeteries with that date.
Entire villages of people.
Small Rwanda.
Small towns around town.
Santa Fe, Albuquerque.
entire towns died from that influenza virus.
And do any of you remember that they just went to Alaska not too long ago and dug up
a frozen corpse in the tundra and went into the chest to retrieve that 1918 virus that
killed 20 million people?
They went to Alaska to a cemetery, dug up a frozen corpse, and found the active influenza
virus from the turn of the century and brought it back out because they wanted to develop
a vaccine.
This was about three months at the most, two to three months ago.
I'm like, it was right around the bird flu time, you know, what a coincidence.
But anyways, you know what saved a lot of religions?
They had no doctors, was a plant called OSHA.
Like, who's sick on corduroy?
OSHA, powerful antiviral, and it really has an emphasis on viruses that affect the lungs.
I'm not making this up.
They used this at the turn of the century to save their families.
The Mexican people in New Mexico used tubulars.
They used Osoroot because it was a powerful antiviral.
Very good bronchodilator.
And they used another plant called Inmortal.
I-N-M-O-R-N-T-A-L.
Inmortal.
It's Asclepias aspirilla.
It's a milkweed family member.
And they used that plant because It's one of the best medicines for pumping the lungs dry when you have fluid that's building up.
So they use inmortality and they use Osho root together to keep those influenza fluids from building up in the lungs, keeping the heart, the kidneys, and the lungs pumping and filtering.
And they use the Osho root as the anti-viral.
And that was the only thing that saved many towns and villages in Mexico.
The 90-year-old people can tell you the story in New Mexico and the small rural areas.
This took place.
They used urban medicine to save their towns and villages against the most ravaging virus to ever hit the world.
20 million people died worldwide in a very short couple years.
Not like the AIDS that made millions of people over God knows how long.
This killed 20 million people over a 2-3 year period.
And I mean, they used two herbs in New Mexico and probably used herbs elsewhere if you got into the herbal traditions.
You know, if you looked in China, if you looked in South America, if you looked in Europe, you probably would find that they had antiviral herbs that the folk people treated their soldiers, treated their villages with herbs that were antiviral because there was no other medicine on the face of the earth.
You either used herbs or you maybe survived because you were just lucky and had a strong immune system.
And you didn't get the full force of the virus before you died.
Have they used Immortel on the Hunter virus?
I don't think so.
Have they used Immortel for the Hunter virus?
I would.
If I was, there's no doubt, it's a very pulmonary orientated virus.
I would use some of these virus antivirals, I would use my antiviral formula, I would But if I saw a virus hitting a specific area, there's one thing about like an antiviral formula or using antiviral herbs, they're great antiviral by nature, but if you notice the virus starting to hit a certain organism, like the lungs, you've got to bring in pulmonary herbs.
Inmortal, which is a milking plant, is a very important plant because, I mean, Inmortal in
the Mexican herbal tradition and in my tradition and those who know of it, is known as one
of the great medicines for congestive heart failure.
Some of the early signs of congestive heart failure is edema, shortness of breath, fatigue.
By one or two o'clock in the afternoon, you've got to take a nap.
Your lungs always have some fluid in it.
You have swelling.
You're not urinating properly.
What you end up with is you're retaining fluids, you're literally beginning to...
to drown, tell it what it is, because you have a congested heart, your heart is not pumping and needing respiration
and anxiety action.
And that's it for today, folks. Good night, and God bless each and every single one of you.
you.
That is what's up by the way.
We need to know.
What's in Maine on the western side?
Makes no difference where you go.
Sing to the fella and the fella.
Have the party lights down low.
Listen to the radio.
Love is on the air tonight.
And it's on a coast to coast.
So don't forget.
Love is everywhere tonight.
You'd better look in on the echo phone.
It's stationed throughout the nation.
We'll have a song coming through.
Don't miss your check point.
I made you get wet, but you're not alone, for you, you, share the same water.
Make her come inside of your alley.
She might sound like crazy.
Well, I suppose she likes Rudy's valley.
It's so cruel, there's so much that's enough to kill a man than you.
Yes, and I!
Thank you.
