>> SPICE IT UP Garlic contains allylic sulfides, compounds shown in lab studies, to block the growth of cancer cells and kill them outright. While eating the herb raw ensures the full power of these compounds, few people find it appealing. Cooked garlic is less pungent and therefore easier to consume. But take not: Unless the herb is chopped or crushed and allowed to stand for at least 10 minutes before cooking, heat will destory much of the enzyme that unlocks its cancer-fighting compounds. The verdict: It’s your preference. If you cook it, crush it and let it sit while you prep other food.

Whether you call it phytotherapy, botanical medicine, or herbology, God’s non-hybrid plants hold the power of nature to heal, clean and revitalize tissue. Science likes to extract, separate and mega dose constituents found in plant to treat bodily symptoms. Plants were never intended for this. This whole plant is powerful enough, when you learn how to use botanicals correctly. I have used herbal formulas for over twenty five years, well before they were fashionable. That’s because my desire has always been to help other heal themselves, not treat their symptoms. I have used gallons of herbs on just one patient. Herbs can be very powerful and strong. There are only a few that I do not recommend due to their toxic nature. However, these are toxic herbs, not used in mainstream herbology.
Besides all the different properties of herbs, including anti-inflammatory, astringents, bitters, stimulants, antispasmodics, etc., they have nutritional value. Herbs are full of vitamins, minerals, tissue salts, flavins, amino acids and sugars, not to mention their electromagnetic energies. Study and experiment with botanicals. Without them, humans will not survive the many damaging effects they have created on this planet.
