By the way, the prunella was a big success in controlling my BP but it
has stopped flowering and I am back to my allopathic meds. I was able to
cut the BP meds in half and if I had had more prunella I could have done
better. Basically, I put about 2 " of prunella in a 1 quart (liter?)
water bottle and drank out of it for 2 days, replacing the water as
needed. I usually tossed in half a sliced lemon and a couple of sprigs
of mint for flavor. Now I'm commencing with the bitter melon to treat
Type II diabetes. Today I recorded my highest BG and my lowest. Here I
go again.


One step up and two steps back for ya'.

Have you tried an infusion of whole dried herb? It is fairly cheap.
Maybe you've been there, done that.

Prunella vulgaris
Heal All Leaf Cut is Certified Organic

Prunella vulgaris is a perennial plant that is also known as "Heal All"
or "Self Heal". Prunella vulgaris contains rosmarinic acid,
triterpenoid compounds.

Heal All has many potential benefits, including anti-microbial,
anti-viral, and anti-oxidant properties. Heal All may have activity
against herpes simplex virus which could be of benefit in oral herpes
and genital herpes.

Part Used: Herb.
A valuable but largely forgotten heat-clearing herb. Internally and
externally for many types of infection (bacterial and viral). Very good
rinse or gargle for mouth sores, pyorrhea, sore and strep throat. Ear
and eye inflammation. Discharges and bleeding in general. Fresh wounds
and sores. Studies show it to be valuable for high blood pressure,
neurocardiac symptoms. Dizziness and ringing in the ears.


We have friends that now live in St. Lucia. I say friends but they are
more like family. Years of Saturday nights together over a dinner table
and our kids grew up together. She is black of skin and English by
disposition. Her daughter, from a previous marriage, was 3 years old
when we first met and the pride of both families until she was taught
that she was black and what that means in a white society. She knows
that doors are closed to her because of her skin color, and it has eaten
at her ever since. Can you imagine waking up every day and not knowing
whether people are being rude to you because you unconsciously did
something, or because you are black, or brown? If you can, then you are
black or brown. Remember James Brown and "Say it out loud". Only a fool
thinks we are different. We all came out of Africa.

Socialization, where the content of one's heart is more important than
the hue of one's skin.

Buenos Noches Amigo,


Ha......this reminds me that my Lovey and I have often laughed about
skin color issues. Why would we insipid-looking, bleached-out pinkish
things think we were in anyways superior by dint of our pigmentation,
or lack of it. Cripes, we "europeans" are butt-ugly colored. Makes
you wonder what's with all the hoopla and desire for tanning, eh?
