are there people out there who would like to share a dialog on natural remedies for health problems?

Question

My wife and I are in the process of building up a small organic truck farm. Along the way I have encountered several health related problems and am looking for reliable non commercial information. Seems like most posts and groups are mainly of a commercial nature, where the people are trying to sell their products under the guise of posing as just regular souls! Which is fine with me, I guess but it would sure be nice to just exchange information without having to listen to sales pitches all the time!

Answer 1

I know a few great home remedies for minor medical issues. Not sure what your looking for exactly, but maybe I can help. Write me at owner (at) truckroute dot net and let me know more about what your looking for, would be glad to help out.

Answer 2

One of the biggest health problems in America is high blood pressure. The best first treatment is a diuretic. The common dandelion is a very effective diuretic and is even used in commercial, over-the-counter products.

The leaves in early spring or after the second frost can be used in salads. The roots can be washed, cut, dried, ground, and used as a substitute for coffee.

The Internet is a rich source of information about natural remedies. I'd investigate the most common health issues first.

Answer 3

I am currently attending Clayton College of Natural Health for Herbalism. I have completed 4 courses already and this is the theory: The course stresses the importance of DIET. No herb or prescription drug will be effective if your diet is messed up. Of course, prescription and over the counter chemicals will have dangerous side effects but if you take the wrong herb or too much at the wrong time you can make yourself really sick-sicker than you already are. I suggest that, if you are serious like I am, you should enroll in some herbal courses so you know what will work and what will not.
