Hello and welcome to
Health For A Lifetime.
00:00:49.46\00:00:51.73
I'm your host Don
Mackintosh and today
00:00:52.70\00:00:54.47
we are going to be
talking about a very
00:00:54.48\00:00:56.46
interesting
subject. Our guest is Rob.
00:00:57.01\00:00:59.37
McClintock he's
written a book entitled
00:00:59.38\00:01:02.12
"God's Healing
Leaves" it's about herbs.
00:01:02.13\00:01:05.18
Welcome and tell us a
little bit what are herbs
00:01:06.02\00:01:08.45
and why should we
be interested in them.
00:01:08.46\00:01:10.10
Well, thank you Don,
herbs are very interesting
00:01:10.38\00:01:12.81
topic and in recent
time they've come to
00:01:12.82\00:01:15.10
the forefront of a
lot of people's attention
00:01:15.11\00:01:18.50
you know we have the
savory herbs in the kitchen
00:01:19.36\00:01:21.12
but then we have
the medicinal herbs and
00:01:21.13\00:01:22.98
those are the ones
people are focusing on today.
00:01:22.99\00:01:25.16
You know generations
past people were very
00:01:26.76\00:01:28.98
interested and then
all most every mother,
00:01:28.99\00:01:31.36
almost every
grandmother understood
00:01:31.37\00:01:33.68
how to care of at
least some forms of illnesses
00:01:33.69\00:01:37.09
using you know
the traditional plants
00:01:37.10\00:01:38.88
of the field. Today
there is a new interest,
00:01:38.89\00:01:41.96
I think the reason that
went away you know along
00:01:43.28\00:01:45.45
came people like Salk
and Fleming and you know
00:01:45.46\00:01:48.85
the new the
vaccinations and the new
00:01:48.86\00:01:50.82
wonder drugs and we are
able to control a lot of
00:01:50.83\00:01:53.08
disease through those means.
00:01:53.09\00:01:54.73
Today people are
beginning to look
00:01:55.86\00:01:58.04
for some people called
Bio-friendly Alternatives
00:01:58.05\00:02:02.05
and not without
reason because some of the
00:02:03.28\00:02:06.99
innovative processes
that standard medicine
00:02:07.91\00:02:10.55
has today, you
know sometimes there are
00:02:10.56\00:02:12.58
some problems with
those and you know last year
00:02:12.59\00:02:14.89
in the media one of
the major newspapers put
00:02:14.90\00:02:16.93
out a report that each
year America 2.2 million
00:02:16.94\00:02:20.34
Americans have a
drug interaction problem
00:02:20.35\00:02:23.27
between two
medications that they're taking.
00:02:23.28\00:02:25.23
You know that's they
concern to some people
00:02:27.13\00:02:28.46
and more recent
report that they were read
00:02:28.47\00:02:30.30
the other day one out
of three hundred patients
00:02:30.31\00:02:32.55
on one singular
medicine has a reaction to that
00:02:33.40\00:02:37.14
particular medicine and
sometimes even a violent
00:02:37.15\00:02:39.37
critical
reactions somebody's even
00:02:39.38\00:02:41.18
causing death. You
know that's type of things
00:02:41.19\00:02:43.64
is picked up by the
public and they begin to become
00:02:43.65\00:02:45.70
alarmed and they begin
to feel well the plants
00:02:45.71\00:02:48.19
of the field are
more friendly they're more
00:02:48.20\00:02:50.31
gentle, they're
safer, that's the route
00:02:50.32\00:02:52.53
I want to go
because I'm afraid to these
00:02:52.54\00:02:54.31
other things, and
you know there is an up
00:02:54.32\00:02:56.72
and downside
all of these things.
00:02:56.73\00:02:58.35
Yeah I mean just
listen you talk and knowing
00:02:59.44\00:03:02.35
something about
what they do with these
00:03:02.36\00:03:03.54
medicines that
then comedown to the
00:03:03.55\00:03:05.44
consumer you know
the Federal FDA they test
00:03:05.45\00:03:09.26
these things the have
research that goes over
00:03:09.27\00:03:12.46
many, many different
subjects before they ever
00:03:12.47\00:03:14.31
would release
something and so my question
00:03:14.32\00:03:17.24
would be aren't they
were risk that are associated
00:03:17.25\00:03:19.90
with herbs?
They're certainly are and
00:03:19.91\00:03:23.97
with herbs I think
that people want to use them
00:03:23.98\00:03:26.57
in their healthcare
program personally I think
00:03:27.18\00:03:29.27
that before they
begin to use them they need
00:03:29.28\00:03:31.75
to begin with some
education and I personally
00:03:31.76\00:03:34.78
felt a great deal of
distress you know quite
00:03:35.56\00:03:37.79
a number of years
ago as I begin to develop
00:03:37.80\00:03:39.58
my own personal interest
in trying to find reliable
00:03:39.59\00:03:43.29
information I would
read six different books
00:03:43.30\00:03:46.39
and I would get
six different opinions
00:03:46.40\00:03:48.01
with you know
six different sets of
00:03:48.02\00:03:49.55
conflicting
information was very, very hard
00:03:49.56\00:03:52.77
for me to understand
you know how they worked
00:03:52.78\00:03:56.77
or if they worked. And in
the period that all plants
00:03:56.78\00:03:58.96
did everything you know
every plant of the field
00:03:58.97\00:04:00.91
was a Panacea. In
recent times you will notice
00:04:00.92\00:04:05.71
that both non-traditionalist and
00:04:05.72\00:04:07.80
traditionalist in
medical field are all looking
00:04:07.81\00:04:10.34
to the plants, you
know every year we have
00:04:10.35\00:04:13.28
a tremendous amount of
research you know chemist,
00:04:13.29\00:04:15.61
biochemist and
botanist discover and study a
00:04:15.62\00:04:19.62
lot of plants or
beginning to see modern medicine
00:04:19.63\00:04:22.85
use lot of plant
medicine. But again education
00:04:22.86\00:04:27.07
is very, very
important because you can't hurt
00:04:27.08\00:04:29.39
yourself for some of
these plants so what can
00:04:29.40\00:04:31.41
we do to first of all I
mean what kind of plants
00:04:31.42\00:04:34.64
that we use and I mean
I would know what to do,
00:04:34.65\00:04:37.81
I go out in my
backyard there is 10,
00:04:37.82\00:04:40.02
15 different types
of plants how do I know
00:04:40.03\00:04:42.02
what to use and how do
I know what not to use.
00:04:42.03\00:04:44.88
Okay, those are very,
very valid questions and
00:04:46.04\00:04:48.34
their questions that
you know the consumer
00:04:48.35\00:04:50.26
needs specifically to
ask themselves and to ask
00:04:51.12\00:04:54.14
other people. The
reason that I wrote that book
00:04:54.15\00:04:56.99
was because there was
so much misinformation
00:04:57.00\00:04:59.52
it's not because I'm
America's number one Guru
00:04:59.53\00:05:02.08
in plant medicine
today there are so many
00:05:02.09\00:05:04.84
people who know you
know a lot more then
00:05:04.85\00:05:06.64
what I do know about
it. But I tried to compile
00:05:06.65\00:05:09.47
information that was
safe you need to understand,
00:05:09.48\00:05:13.17
understand the
some extend the chemical
00:05:13.18\00:05:15.10
constituents of the
plant, what it does,
00:05:15.11\00:05:18.16
what it doesn't do
you know how to reflex
00:05:18.17\00:05:20.15
to human
physiology there are courses,
00:05:20.16\00:05:23.16
correspondence
courses many communities
00:05:23.17\00:05:25.42
have people who
will teach those courses,
00:05:25.43\00:05:28.40
you can buy some of
the newer books in the book
00:05:28.93\00:05:31.35
stores today, actually
have some real information,
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.69
you know the older
books you know like
00:05:34.70\00:05:36.47
Cay Pepper Herbal and
some of these you know
00:05:36.48\00:05:38.54
from prior centuries
they were involved more
00:05:38.55\00:05:41.93
in superstition and
they were in actual you know
00:05:41.94\00:05:45.53
biochemical understanding.
So, while you're talking
00:05:45.54\00:05:49.63
about as education
and getting the grasp of
00:05:49.64\00:05:53.00
basic principles and
then figuring out what these
00:05:53.01\00:05:56.44
plants do is there, is
there any real uniformity
00:05:56.45\00:06:00.30
though even at this
point you're saying hey
00:06:00.31\00:06:03.04
there is all kinds of
different books but how
00:06:03.05\00:06:05.66
can someone have a real
level of comfort knowing
00:06:05.67\00:06:10.05
hey before I take this
plant I know what's going
00:06:10.06\00:06:13.24
to happened. Well,
today's books that books that
00:06:13.25\00:06:16.65
have been written and
say in the last five years
00:06:16.66\00:06:18.60
are certainly more
reliable then the ones that
00:06:18.61\00:06:20.44
were written at the
turn of the century and
00:06:20.45\00:06:22.90
you know in
through in decades you know
00:06:24.23\00:06:28.55
of course as an
author I would like to always
00:06:28.56\00:06:30.46
feel like my book has
you know all of the strengths
00:06:30.96\00:06:33.09
and it has some
strengths and some weaknesses
00:06:33.10\00:06:35.00
as well. But I like to
find books that have some
00:06:35.01\00:06:41.25
sided research in them
when I actually put my,
00:06:41.26\00:06:43.91
this book actually
came as compilation of my
00:06:44.42\00:06:46.22
lecture notes from
seminars that I were teach
00:06:46.23\00:06:48.05
around the world.
And people would say
00:06:48.06\00:06:49.99
I want your lecture
notes and so I crunched
00:06:50.00\00:06:53.03
into a book but you
will find a lot of book
00:06:53.04\00:06:55.18
in the shelf today
where you can actually
00:06:55.19\00:06:57.27
find where they
say clinical research.
00:06:57.28\00:06:59.20
The books that say you
should use a plant because
00:07:00.76\00:07:03.31
it shape like a heart,
in that heart shape plant
00:07:03.32\00:07:05.77
will be good for your
heart and this plant that
00:07:05.78\00:07:08.25
is furry that will
good for your hair and these
00:07:08.26\00:07:11.06
types of books you know really,
00:07:11.07\00:07:12.27
truly those were
things that are there out.
00:07:12.28\00:07:14.76
So, are you saying to
me I mean if I'm looking
00:07:15.44\00:07:17.11
into this and I
wanna start using plants
00:07:17.12\00:07:19.03
I should first of all
if the book is not written
00:07:19.04\00:07:22.05
within the last
five years or so and then
00:07:22.06\00:07:25.17
avoiding these other
things within a book even
00:07:25.18\00:07:27.35
if it has been written
within the last five years
00:07:27.36\00:07:29.28
that's a good way in
terms of looking at resources.
00:07:29.29\00:07:31.58
How can someone get
help who can they talk to
00:07:35.22\00:07:38.31
I don't think I
would go down the street to
00:07:38.32\00:07:41.02
just anybody off the
street and say well you
00:07:41.03\00:07:42.94
help me with some
plants and it sounds like I
00:07:42.95\00:07:46.14
need to be little
worried about who I talk to
00:07:46.15\00:07:48.00
listening to what you're saying.
00:07:48.01\00:07:49.22
Well, I think that
probably in this day and
00:07:50.43\00:07:53.37
age doing your own
research as probably the
00:07:53.38\00:07:56.49
smartest thing you can
do because if you would,
00:07:56.50\00:07:58.86
I would say well and
every community there
00:07:58.87\00:08:01.10
are some lady
who know something.
00:08:01.11\00:08:02.49
I founded every
community have met this
00:08:02.50\00:08:04.97
people who knew
something that they had
00:08:04.98\00:08:07.61
a lot of superstition
mixed in a lot of old
00:08:07.62\00:08:10.64
wives tale, a lot of
new age philosophies,
00:08:10.65\00:08:13.02
you know the positive
and the negative influences
00:08:13.03\00:08:15.53
and these plants
happen to react stronger
00:08:15.54\00:08:17.45
with the yang, and the
yang, and all these types
00:08:17.46\00:08:19.08
of things you
have to be scholar,
00:08:19.09\00:08:22.08
you have to be a
student you know just like
00:08:22.09\00:08:23.76
with the Bible you know
I, you could say well where
00:08:23.77\00:08:26.41
could I go to find good
information on the Bible.
00:08:26.42\00:08:28.40
Well, there is a ton of
people out there who claim
00:08:29.09\00:08:30.57
they have good
information on the Bible.
00:08:30.58\00:08:32.05
Well we've to be
scholars in our own right,
00:08:32.69\00:08:34.13
we have to, to understand
a couple of rules that
00:08:34.14\00:08:36.98
I would say as
you're evaluating whether
00:08:36.99\00:08:38.77
or not the
information is credible.
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.26
I would like to see
that it has some association
00:08:41.27\00:08:43.51
perhaps with some
clinical research, trials.
00:08:43.52\00:08:45.79
I would like to see
some, some lists of chemical
00:08:46.76\00:08:49.15
constituents so that
if you have any chemistry
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.62
background or any
physics or any you know
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.92
Anatomy Physiology
you can understand how
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.72
these chemicals
will react with the body.
00:08:56.73\00:08:58.90
The plant should be
this information about the
00:09:00.76\00:09:03.60
plant should be
specific about it's use
00:09:03.61\00:09:05.49
and not wake, one
of the things that I,
00:09:05.50\00:09:07.35
I detested about some
of the books that I had
00:09:07.36\00:09:09.52
in my library one
time. As you would pick it up
00:09:09.53\00:09:11.70
and it seems like any
plant would work with any
00:09:11.71\00:09:14.60
condition, I like to
see some specificity with
00:09:14.61\00:09:16.94
all of the plants and
one of the final things
00:09:16.95\00:09:20.89
that I felt like
needed to be addressed was
00:09:20.90\00:09:23.20
dosage levels. The
books, most of the books you
00:09:23.92\00:09:27.23
pick up today do not
address you know maximum
00:09:27.24\00:09:31.48
or minimum dosage
levels and a practical
00:09:31.49\00:09:33.87
experience level. So,
addressing how much you
00:09:33.88\00:09:37.32
get from certain plant
and how can you really come up
00:09:37.33\00:09:40.49
with that I mean
let's say you know I grow
00:09:40.50\00:09:42.82
my plants in my
backyard and they have more
00:09:42.83\00:09:45.44
chemicals in the
earth there it seems to not
00:09:45.45\00:09:47.25
be as depleted as
where you live or vice versa
00:09:47.26\00:09:50.01
how can you really
get a handle on what the
00:09:50.53\00:09:52.21
dosage is have
been a given plant.
00:09:52.22\00:09:53.86
That's a real credible
challenge and all people
00:09:54.59\00:09:57.08
who work in the field
are faced with that you
00:09:57.09\00:10:00.48
will notice that and
say some of the health food
00:10:00.49\00:10:02.38
stores as today that
we're beginning to see
00:10:02.39\00:10:04.90
plants coming out in a
form called Standardized
00:10:04.91\00:10:07.98
Extracts like you
know the same John's word
00:10:07.99\00:10:09.93
that everybody is
taken through the clinical
00:10:09.94\00:10:11.63
depression today.
The rule of some of the
00:10:11.64\00:10:14.92
industry today is a
3 percent standardized
00:10:14.93\00:10:17.20
extract where they
actually take to plant
00:10:17.21\00:10:18.96
into you know a lab
and they crunch out the
00:10:18.97\00:10:22.42
chemical constituent
and it's measurable that's
00:10:22.43\00:10:25.58
probably in touching
situation maybe little
00:10:25.59\00:10:30.13
better way to go.
But you know there are
00:10:30.14\00:10:33.16
a lot of plants in
probably in your yard and
00:10:33.17\00:10:36.67
your neighborhood
that's you could use
00:10:36.68\00:10:38.29
you know fairly
safely. We find that within
00:10:38.30\00:10:44.16
pharmaceuticals you
have precise amounts
00:10:44.17\00:10:46.55
of milligrams or
micrograms associated
00:10:46.56\00:10:49.64
with the particular
chemicals in the plants
00:10:49.65\00:10:52.48
the chemical
constituent dosage levels are
00:10:52.49\00:10:56.19
not as intends or
as strong and so you're
00:10:56.20\00:11:00.19
margarine between
your minimum and your
00:11:00.20\00:11:02.88
maximum dosage
levels is quite broad so you
00:11:02.89\00:11:06.12
know if you're in the
middle of the road there
00:11:06.13\00:11:08.74
is you know a pretty
slim chance that you will
00:11:08.75\00:11:10.89
ever hurt yourself.
Okay, so another words
00:11:10.90\00:11:14.77
it usually as not as
potentially dangerous
00:11:14.78\00:11:17.38
unless you were eat
something like poison
00:11:17.39\00:11:19.29
ivy inwardly, and I
will imagine that looking
00:11:19.30\00:11:22.80
for these plants
and identifying them as
00:11:22.81\00:11:25.05
another big thing if
you're going to actually
00:11:25.06\00:11:26.90
be harvesting the
plant yourself and,
00:11:26.91\00:11:29.77
and growing them
and what not let me ask
00:11:29.78\00:11:33.02
you another question
now you know we've talk
00:11:33.03\00:11:34.50
a little bit about
the theory and it seems
00:11:34.51\00:11:38.30
though you've
gotten involved in this and
00:11:38.31\00:11:40.39
given seminars
around the country written
00:11:40.40\00:11:42.67
the book have a web
page all those different
00:11:42.68\00:11:44.28
kind of things so
you're up on these things,
00:11:44.29\00:11:46.94
things on your finger
tips oh let say I have like
00:11:46.95\00:11:49.56
a chest cold or a
head cold how do I know
00:11:49.57\00:11:53.07
what to do right
then normally I'd grab for
00:11:53.99\00:11:56.03
some Tylenol, I'd
grab for some you know
00:11:56.04\00:11:59.05
Antihistamine or
whatever to take away some
00:11:59.06\00:12:02.52
of those symptoms
what do I do when I have
00:12:02.53\00:12:03.99
a symptom how do
I know what to do?
00:12:04.00\00:12:05.45
Well, you know from
your clinical background
00:12:06.57\00:12:09.01
you use to the
terminology and I think
00:12:09.02\00:12:12.09
all of this need to
some extent we use to the
00:12:12.10\00:12:14.51
terminology and in
plants a good book plant
00:12:14.52\00:12:19.34
medicine books will
say this plant work as a
00:12:19.35\00:12:22.31
decongestant, this
plant work as antihistamine.
00:12:22.32\00:12:25.00
You know this plant
will work as an Expectorant,
00:12:26.67\00:12:29.30
this one is an
Anti-Inflammatory,
00:12:30.48\00:12:32.22
this one mimics you
know steroids that types
00:12:33.15\00:12:35.51
of thing, all of
that type of information
00:12:35.52\00:12:37.62
is very useful as
we study the plants to
00:12:37.63\00:12:39.96
find out that
they, are plants to,
00:12:39.97\00:12:42.17
will fall into
same categories as the
00:12:42.18\00:12:44.57
other types of medications that
00:12:44.58\00:12:45.85
we're use to and we
can use this you know
00:12:45.86\00:12:48.77
bio-friendly forms in
place of these things with
00:12:48.78\00:12:53.38
compare to these.
Okay, so we have this idea
00:12:53.39\00:12:57.68
of what they do and
how and why but again
00:12:57.69\00:13:00.50
back now I have
cold what do I do,
00:13:00.51\00:13:02.81
what are the
steps I go through to,
00:13:02.82\00:13:04.35
to get to that plant
that I'm gonna be chopping
00:13:04.36\00:13:07.03
on in a few
minutes. Okay, well again
00:13:07.04\00:13:10.02
understand in
which point you want,
00:13:10.03\00:13:11.55
if you've never ever
tried it before it's probably
00:13:13.02\00:13:15.94
a good idea to
ask somebody with some
00:13:15.95\00:13:17.27
experience in it
rather then making your very
00:13:17.28\00:13:19.46
first lead by just
trying to cook book it,
00:13:19.47\00:13:22.38
I've, I've been
amuse sometimes to see
00:13:22.39\00:13:25.88
people who pickup a
book and try to cook book
00:13:25.89\00:13:27.78
there way through
something that's very
00:13:27.79\00:13:29.57
unknown to them now
recently I'd to take
00:13:30.30\00:13:33.58
the motor out of my
car and put a new engine
00:13:33.59\00:13:36.17
back together and
put it together and
00:13:36.18\00:13:37.66
I'm trying to use these books,
00:13:37.67\00:13:38.99
these books are
written specifically about
00:13:39.65\00:13:41.24
my year and make of
car and still there were
00:13:41.25\00:13:44.34
ambiguities some
questions in my mind and
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.69
what would wonder I'd find that,
00:13:46.70\00:13:49.05
that I would actually
find the expert mechanic
00:13:49.06\00:13:51.00
and say listen you
know do I put this on here
00:13:51.01\00:13:54.67
this way or do I
put it on there that way
00:13:54.68\00:13:56.67
and I would find
people who are familiar with,
00:13:56.68\00:13:58.91
they would help me quite a bit,
00:13:58.92\00:14:00.15
but let say that you
would just gonna try and
00:14:00.89\00:14:02.12
pickup a book like
the book that you have
00:14:02.13\00:14:03.45
in your hands you know
of course you go to the
00:14:03.46\00:14:05.61
index you will look
for the plants things that
00:14:05.62\00:14:09.14
would be expectorants
things that you know
00:14:09.15\00:14:11.53
if you've got a lot
of mucous that you need
00:14:11.54\00:14:14.79
to read from the
body you know a good
00:14:14.80\00:14:16.80
expectorant would
be unhand that we have
00:14:16.81\00:14:19.24
plants that are
antihistamines we have
00:14:19.25\00:14:22.31
plants that are
analgesic for you know the
00:14:22.32\00:14:25.74
axon in that type of things.
00:14:25.75\00:14:27.27
You know how would
I treat you know let
00:14:29.10\00:14:30.77
say bronchitis or a
cold or something like that,
00:14:31.30\00:14:33.68
stop right there you
got the book you're looking
00:14:35.94\00:14:38.00
at it and you saying
how to treat a bronchitis,
00:14:38.01\00:14:40.94
a chest cold when
we comeback we're gonna
00:14:40.95\00:14:43.06
take a break. I
want you to just work as
00:14:43.07\00:14:44.74
through that maybe
take a couple of things
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.88
and work through that
and comeback and join us.
00:14:46.89\00:14:50.40
We're gonna get into
some specifics now maybe
00:14:51.07\00:14:52.81

Welcome back
we've been talking with
00:16:12.16\00:16:13.92
Rob. McClintock who
has written a book on
00:16:13.93\00:16:17.15
herbs and just before
the break we were talking
00:16:17.16\00:16:20.19
about bronchitis and
we were talking about
00:16:20.20\00:16:22.09
what we would do about it,
00:16:22.10\00:16:23.35
we've talked about
you know some pulmonary
00:16:23.36\00:16:25.99
things about
herbs and all these but
00:16:26.00\00:16:27.91
then I ask you to
address something when
00:16:27.92\00:16:30.37
we comeback.
I've called you up now
00:16:30.38\00:16:31.77
and I say hey look
I've got this terrible cold,
00:16:31.78\00:16:33.87
it seems to be a
pain in my upper chest and
00:16:34.66\00:16:36.39
I' just feeling
terrible and I'm ready to try
00:16:37.18\00:16:39.13
an herb I'm, I need
help what would you say
00:16:39.14\00:16:43.18
to me and what
would be the next step?
00:16:43.19\00:16:44.75
Well, Don one of
the things that I would
00:16:45.54\00:16:47.66
have to do
responsibly would they kind
00:16:47.67\00:16:49.50
a put the herb
question on the back burner
00:16:49.51\00:16:52.33
because no one successfully put
00:16:53.26\00:16:55.22
a roof on a house
that you have build
00:16:55.23\00:16:56.38
foundation on your
first and we don't just
00:16:56.39\00:16:59.83
use plants to
either cure or cover up
00:16:59.84\00:17:01.52
a symptom. The
first thing I wanna know
00:17:01.53\00:17:04.04
as are you getting to
adequate rest you know
00:17:04.05\00:17:06.26
if you're taking
time off from work,
00:17:06.27\00:17:07.68
are you get in exercise,
are you get in fresh air,
00:17:07.69\00:17:10.07
are you drinking enough fluids,
00:17:10.08\00:17:12.95
they have you restrict
you didn't take so fats
00:17:14.22\00:17:17.27
and salts and
sugars and you know all of
00:17:17.28\00:17:19.35
these sort things I
wanna get a background
00:17:19.36\00:17:21.44
to find out whether
you are the cause or
00:17:21.45\00:17:23.60
you know there is
another cause for it.
00:17:24.39\00:17:26.21
I would also find out
how much understanding
00:17:28.46\00:17:30.86
you had or what
resources you had as far as
00:17:30.87\00:17:33.39
availability to
hydrotherapy because
00:17:33.40\00:17:35.40
with little
bronchitis you know as well as
00:17:36.92\00:17:39.08
anybody else you know
old fashioned chest packs
00:17:39.09\00:17:42.16
with the hot and
cold alternating therapy
00:17:42.17\00:17:44.59
over the, over the
chest area probably one
00:17:44.60\00:17:47.84
of the most effective
means and treating that
00:17:47.85\00:17:51.01
sort of a
condition, but after we've done
00:17:51.02\00:17:53.27
this homework and I
found out that you're doing
00:17:53.28\00:17:55.18
all of these things
and you're doing them right
00:17:55.19\00:17:57.06
or you've agreed to
make a transition in one
00:17:57.07\00:17:59.96
area or another, to
come down to the actual plant
00:17:59.97\00:18:03.32
side what we do with an herb.
00:18:03.33\00:18:05.13
If your, you know
coughing and you'd like to
00:18:07.11\00:18:10.13
have a more
productive coughed to actually
00:18:10.14\00:18:12.29
cough you know some
material up and get it out
00:18:12.30\00:18:14.56
we have a number
of plants in the plant
00:18:15.57\00:18:17.18
kingdom that are
expectorants, horehound,
00:18:17.19\00:18:20.48
you know my dad use
to give me this dreadful
00:18:20.49\00:18:22.97
taste in candy when
I was a kid horehound
00:18:22.98\00:18:24.75
candy I tried that not
too long ago just to see
00:18:24.76\00:18:28.17
if it was bad as it
use to be on and it still
00:18:28.18\00:18:30.07
was like a some
people like it but,
00:18:30.08\00:18:32.43
it was my favorite.
But horehound was more
00:18:32.44\00:18:34.92
then just a flavoring,
for horehound actually
00:18:34.93\00:18:36.56
has an
expectorant quality to it.
00:18:36.57\00:18:38.49
Moulin plant that grows
wild all over the country
00:18:40.39\00:18:43.02
come free there is a
number of plants that are
00:18:44.41\00:18:46.42
actually have an
expectorant quality
00:18:46.43\00:18:48.46
to those. Those
would be some plants that
00:18:48.47\00:18:51.24
I would put into in
herbal combination to make
00:18:51.25\00:18:54.10
or make an
herbal tea from to help,
00:18:54.11\00:18:55.90
try and bring some of that out.
00:18:55.91\00:18:57.51
Part of bronchitis as
you know if you ever suffered
00:18:59.01\00:19:01.51
with it you know
that you tend to get a lot
00:19:01.52\00:19:05.44
of spasticity in the
bronchial ways and in your
00:19:05.45\00:19:11.11
chest you know as
they irritated they get
00:19:11.12\00:19:13.91
reactive they're
tired of coughing they wish
00:19:13.92\00:19:16.00
you would quit but
you still continue because
00:19:16.01\00:19:18.62
the sensations
there. There are number of
00:19:19.49\00:19:21.84
plants that are Antispasmodics,
00:19:21.85\00:19:24.09
we have plants
like you know the,
00:19:24.75\00:19:25.72
like the black
cohosh and valerian some of
00:19:26.48\00:19:28.44
these plants that
you can add a little bit
00:19:28.45\00:19:29.94
of those into your,
into your blend that actually
00:19:29.95\00:19:32.34
help take out some
of the spasticity from
00:19:32.35\00:19:35.70
the side of
inflammation one of the things
00:19:35.71\00:19:38.90
that works really great
in old fashion to liquors
00:19:38.91\00:19:41.74
root works really well
it helping to bring down
00:19:41.75\00:19:44.88
that inflammation there
and then one final thing
00:19:44.89\00:19:48.17
that I would add to
try and soothe the area,
00:19:48.18\00:19:51.98
there is a number of
Mucilaginic herbs like
00:19:51.99\00:19:55.20
chickweed and marshmallow root
00:19:55.21\00:19:57.15
you would add those
and all of that work
00:19:57.93\00:20:00.12
in the concert
with one and another
00:20:00.13\00:20:01.50
you know drink a
quarter so that to you day
00:20:02.83\00:20:04.47
if you're doing your
homework with the other
00:20:06.22\00:20:07.51
things you should see
a clear up quite rapidly.
00:20:07.52\00:20:09.64
Well, couple
questions then on that you,
00:20:11.00\00:20:12.59
you've talked about
several different things
00:20:13.30\00:20:15.23
one to help us
cough and expectorant,
00:20:15.24\00:20:17.70
one to help us
with inflammation,
00:20:17.71\00:20:19.40
one to help us with
spasticity or feeling bad
00:20:19.41\00:20:22.39
all these different
things. I guess where you can
00:20:22.40\00:20:27.00
help us as knowing
what to mix with what when,
00:20:27.01\00:20:29.92
because you know
this is not something that
00:20:30.84\00:20:33.41
we normally would
know how to do and probably
00:20:34.00\00:20:36.11
would be afraid to
do it mixing several
00:20:36.12\00:20:38.03
different
things, correct together.
00:20:38.04\00:20:39.63
And any pointers on
that, that you would give us
00:20:41.33\00:20:44.33
and then secondly how
long you've set this would
00:20:45.22\00:20:47.73
clear up quite rapidly
but what does that mean.
00:20:47.74\00:20:51.20
Well, with most of
the cases of these types
00:20:52.19\00:20:54.92
of coughs and bronchitis's that
00:20:54.93\00:20:56.45
we've seen in the last
five years that usually
00:20:56.46\00:20:58.70
clears it up in just
a matter of a few days.
00:20:58.71\00:21:01.20
I guess bronchitis or
flu bug right now seems
00:21:02.97\00:21:05.41
to be the plague of
the day as we're speaking
00:21:05.42\00:21:08.06
you know we both
came in airplanes and
00:21:08.07\00:21:10.62
I think the
airplanes are vibrate in from
00:21:10.63\00:21:12.53
everybody
hacking them. You know,
00:21:12.54\00:21:14.04
God bless us I hope we
survive the contamination
00:21:14.63\00:21:18.14
that we got in
these things, but you know
00:21:18.15\00:21:23.02
a few days probably
you should see a major
00:21:23.03\00:21:25.43
amount of, of relief
from that as far as the
00:21:25.44\00:21:28.27
combining, combining
of plants can be very
00:21:28.28\00:21:30.89
complicated or it
could be very simple and
00:21:30.90\00:21:33.95
I think rather then
taking chances we need
00:21:33.96\00:21:36.37
to know what the plants do.
00:21:36.38\00:21:37.49
Every plant falls into
a category how do I know
00:21:37.97\00:21:40.67
what I mix with
what, what I don't you know
00:21:40.68\00:21:42.98
some people are
afraid because they're afraid
00:21:42.99\00:21:45.05
that you know they
will cause some dreadful
00:21:45.06\00:21:46.91
chemical reaction
because there are chemicals
00:21:46.92\00:21:49.22
in the plants but to
those people I ask them they
00:21:49.23\00:21:51.71
were eaten tossed salad
well certainly they have,
00:21:51.72\00:21:53.64
they didn't explode,
you know they didn't break
00:21:53.65\00:21:56.87
into flame so you
know there is a fare amount
00:21:56.88\00:21:59.55
of safety in that. You know,
00:21:59.56\00:22:02.70
from being a
nursing background you know
00:22:03.51\00:22:05.10
what is diaphoretic
is? It makes you sweat,
00:22:05.11\00:22:07.36
makes you sweat, right,
and then you take a plant
00:22:07.37\00:22:09.38
that's a refrigerant.
Well, you wouldn't mix
00:22:09.39\00:22:12.02
those two together
because that effect
00:22:12.03\00:22:14.69
in nothing, you need
to know what category,
00:22:14.70\00:22:17.64
you need to know what
plants are refrigerants
00:22:17.65\00:22:19.81
and what plants are
diaphoretics and what
00:22:19.82\00:22:21.35
plants are antispasmodics,
anti-inflammatory all
00:22:21.36\00:22:25.43
of those plants if
you know what category
00:22:25.44\00:22:26.96
there and then you
know how to apply them.
00:22:26.97\00:22:28.63
So, maybe one of
the things we could say
00:22:28.64\00:22:30.23
you know it seems like
a very reasoned approach
00:22:31.02\00:22:32.72
that you're say hey
look at the basics first try
00:22:33.56\00:22:35.95
some simple things
like fluids and all of these
00:22:35.96\00:22:38.30
and see what's happening there,
00:22:39.10\00:22:40.07
but maybe one of the
other things we could say
00:22:40.83\00:22:42.09
as hey start out
simple maybe take something
00:22:42.10\00:22:44.63
that helps you have a
productive crops see how
00:22:44.64\00:22:49.02
that works? Then
you know how that works
00:22:49.03\00:22:51.07
then adding more later as you,
00:22:51.08\00:22:53.28
as you learn more but
really the fundamentals
00:22:53.99\00:22:56.34
are still there,
well that be wise to say.
00:22:56.35\00:22:58.04
That's very correct
you know what's you're
00:22:58.71\00:23:00.44
talking about is
handling the things that you're
00:23:00.45\00:23:02.23
capable and happy
with you know the last
00:23:02.24\00:23:06.25
thing you wanna do is
grab a book and then raise
00:23:06.26\00:23:08.66
across the street to
your neighbor who has
00:23:08.67\00:23:10.48
terminal cancer and
begin to practice some new
00:23:10.49\00:23:14.06
experimental art you
wanna deal with those
00:23:14.07\00:23:16.45
things that you are
competed in dealing with
00:23:16.46\00:23:18.54
and then as you gain
experience you will able
00:23:18.55\00:23:21.99
to you know add
layer upon layer to your
00:23:22.00\00:23:25.39
experience level
don't worry you can actually
00:23:25.40\00:23:27.37
become very
professional and quite a number
00:23:27.38\00:23:29.68
of things. I notice
here on, on the note some
00:23:29.69\00:23:33.65
of things that we
looked at we may talk about
00:23:33.66\00:23:35.69
some if really
gripped my attention was there
00:23:36.37\00:23:38.80
is treatments for
bleeding with herbs.
00:23:38.81\00:23:41.76
And I'm wondering
what that's all about how
00:23:42.72\00:23:44.45
can you treat
bleeding I mean I'm picturing
00:23:44.46\00:23:46.37
someone that has,
has cut their finger and
00:23:46.38\00:23:48.78
it's really bleeding
really, really hard as that
00:23:48.79\00:23:51.60
what's your talking
about? Correct, or we can do,
00:23:51.61\00:23:53.84
we can do
internally or externally if its
00:23:53.85\00:23:57.36
internal and it's in
the GI tract somewhere
00:23:57.37\00:24:00.32
I mean it's not
where you've, you mean like
00:24:00.91\00:24:01.98
the stomach, yes,
intestines, right, correct,
00:24:01.99\00:24:04.87
you know there is
quite a number of conditions
00:24:04.88\00:24:06.80
you know ulcerative
colitis, ulcers and you know
00:24:06.81\00:24:09.56
these types
things sometimes there is
00:24:09.57\00:24:10.83
a number opportunities
from bleeding there.
00:24:10.84\00:24:14.01
We have a couple of
different plants that
00:24:14.89\00:24:16.47
are here in North
America that work very
00:24:16.48\00:24:18.17
well internally and
they happened to work very
00:24:18.18\00:24:20.35
well externally as
well. There is one that
00:24:20.36\00:24:23.89
I know grows in this
region of the country where
00:24:23.90\00:24:26.55
right outside the
studio and that's a little
00:24:26.56\00:24:29.62
you know American Cranesbill,
00:24:29.63\00:24:31.74
or a Wild
Geranium plant, if you're,
00:24:31.75\00:24:34.06
you know if you were
bleeding you could actually
00:24:34.07\00:24:35.67
take the root or the
rise on with the plant
00:24:35.68\00:24:37.87
and break that open make a T,
00:24:38.68\00:24:40.82
slid it make a
quick application either
00:24:41.83\00:24:43.76
internally or externally.
It has a very powerful
00:24:43.77\00:24:46.39
astringency in it and
it will stop the bleeding
00:24:46.40\00:24:49.13
almost instantaneously.
So, topically if you put
00:24:49.14\00:24:51.90
it on that finger
its bleeding you know
00:24:51.91\00:24:53.84
it's a vessel
constrictor or other words
00:24:54.43\00:24:56.31
it make those
vessels to come together
00:24:56.32\00:24:58.17
as that what you're saying.
00:24:58.18\00:24:59.15
They will come
together and the bleeding
00:24:59.16\00:25:00.13
will stop increases
the coagulation will stop
00:25:00.14\00:25:02.38
almost instantly, the
other one that some people
00:25:02.39\00:25:05.00
are little
intimidated in using as the
00:25:05.01\00:25:07.02
cayenne pepper, but I have seen.
00:25:07.03\00:25:09.34
I could see why
they might feel little
00:25:09.35\00:25:10.52
intimidated. I have
seen so many times where
00:25:10.53\00:25:12.64
somebody is
bleeding quite profusely and
00:25:12.65\00:25:14.52
you will just
take a little handful a
00:25:14.53\00:25:15.70
cayenne pepper
powder and just packed
00:25:15.71\00:25:17.13
in there and yes there
is some sensory stimulus
00:25:17.14\00:25:20.13
there, you know
something got under but
00:25:20.14\00:25:23.01
it's all lot
better then bleeding.
00:25:23.02\00:25:24.18
Interesting I
notice here you have other
00:25:25.34\00:25:27.39
things to treat for instance,
00:25:27.40\00:25:28.84
infection
arthritis, PMS the common cold,
00:25:29.61\00:25:33.39
infected sinuses. We
can get into all of those,
00:25:34.23\00:25:37.67
those different ones
but in our last minute
00:25:37.68\00:25:40.82
here what advice
would you have you know
00:25:40.83\00:25:43.27
people are watching
now I know that they have,
00:25:43.28\00:25:45.02
they have you've
perked an interest in me
00:25:45.03\00:25:48.05
and you what would
you say in just summary
00:25:48.06\00:25:51.41
some principle for
folks that are, are wanting
00:25:52.92\00:25:54.55
to get more into this area.
00:25:54.56\00:25:55.94
Again I think you
know education is the
00:25:57.11\00:25:59.42
number one, you're first
responsibility is to seek
00:25:59.43\00:26:03.86
out good
information and there is a lot
00:26:03.87\00:26:06.68
of information
available you can find things
00:26:06.69\00:26:08.83
on the internet. But
you will have to understand
00:26:08.84\00:26:12.00
that you will need to
chose your orientation,
00:26:12.01\00:26:14.08
do you wanna take it
from a Christian scientific
00:26:14.84\00:26:16.64
approach or do
you want to approach
00:26:18.20\00:26:19.84
it from you know the
new age philosophy because
00:26:19.85\00:26:22.11
there is two different
philosophies and you know
00:26:23.28\00:26:25.70
the new age philosophies
is actually an old age
00:26:25.71\00:26:27.36
philosophy it
goes back to all kinds
00:26:27.37\00:26:29.33
of ancient things. You
need to figure out which
00:26:29.34\00:26:32.66
way you wanna
head, I hope our viewers
00:26:32.67\00:26:34.12
you know watching the
Christian Broadcast Station
00:26:34.13\00:26:35.92
are interested in
the Christian Philosophy
00:26:35.93\00:26:37.71
because you know
where you wanna go into the
00:26:37.72\00:26:39.37
scientific prospective.
Get some good books,
00:26:39.38\00:26:41.84
listen there some
people don't just have one book
00:26:42.49\00:26:44.67
and don't just
listen to one person.
00:26:44.68\00:26:46.50
You need to be a scholar.
00:26:46.51\00:26:48.48
We've been talking
with Rob. McClintock,
00:26:50.39\00:26:53.15
he's written a book
"God's Healing Leaves"
00:26:53.16\00:26:55.25
and we've talked
about several other theory
00:26:55.94\00:26:58.55
of herbs and we've
talked about what to do
00:26:58.56\00:27:01.12
if you're not feeling
well and how to really
00:27:01.90\00:27:04.34
kind a trouble shoot there.
00:27:04.35\00:27:05.63
We hope that this
has been helpfully to you
00:27:06.48\00:27:08.68
today and really I
hope purpose here on
00:27:08.69\00:27:11.15
Health For A Lifetime
is to help you have that
00:27:11.16\00:27:13.68
Health For A Lifetime.
I think the things we've
00:27:13.69\00:27:17.22
learned today,
they have practical,
00:27:17.23\00:27:18.27
they have been useful
and I'm looking forward
00:27:18.28\00:27:20.90
to do another
program when we comeback
00:27:20.91\00:27:22.63
and look at some
of these other things.
00:27:22.64\00:27:24.08
And I think that we
will find that equally
00:27:24.83\00:27:26.30
as interesting and see
the practice how to really
00:27:26.31\00:27:29.59
put some of these
things into practice
00:27:29.60\00:27:32.02
in our own lives.
Thanks for joining us.
00:27:32.03\00:27:34.43
