    I live next to a homeless man and his dog got bit by two rattlesnakes when he walked into a den of them.
    The man was standing in front of my house in a panic not knowing how to help his dog.
    The emergency vet is thousands of dollars and for him this was not an option. I had to think quickly nd grabbed my activated charcoal I made a poultice and a slurry. We placed a poultice over the bite wounds and syringed the slurry every few seconds. Praise God the next day the dog was still alive and much more aware. We continued with this for 4-5 days and then started with having to contend with necrotic tissue. For this I gave him colloidal silver , that I make , to spray on the wound. The dog has survived and back to a bouncy happy puppy. The dog is almost 100% healed and just has a very small spot of skin where the hair is growing back.
    I had called three vets, including my own and they would not help , if I hadn’t learned about natural remedies at my church this dog would not have lived. It was a huge wake up call.

      Dog Jones has stories about how incredible plantain leaf can heal bites from poisonous snakes very quickly!
      Watch his videos. They are so full of valuable information!
      Everyone should know about this herb. It’s great for stopping the itch from biting insects. You can make salves with it or just apply mashed up, in your mouth if that’s all you have, say out in the wild, (that’s called a spit poultice). We’ve had bee stings, that for me would have really swollen up, applied fresh plantain chewed up and almost instantly the pain is gone and no swelling developed at all! Amazing stuff!

      So glad you were able to help the dog. You did well. :0)
      Next time if you add some Echinacea and marshmallow you won't even get the necrotic wound from a rattlesnake bite. Echinacea actually neutralizes the tissue-dissolving enzyme in the venom and marshmallow has a gift for talking tissue out of dying. Have a look at the Venom & Sting Formula on my website for some other plants that are good to have on board as well.

    As an unemployed nurse who may never be able to work in the field again because I refuse the poison, although I advocate for a lot of vaccines but they have been turned into a weapon against us instead of for us…..anyhow, seeing the medications pumped into people is so concerning to me, I’ve always been one for alternative medication and only use modern medicine when absolutely emergent, I have a deeper passion for herbal medicine now !
    My kitchen table is full of jars of stuff I’ve been drying !
    When I would be training a new nurse and they were overwhelmed with remembering everything I would encourage them by saying, “knowing something is easier than remembering something”…..when you do something and learn it, you know it so you don’t have to remember !!!
    Blessings and health to all….now I’m headed to his channel :)

I love this topic! God has given us everything we need to live.

I love all of your topics, especially ones that introduce me to new ideas, but herbalism is actually how I found this channel initially. I’m very motivated to be capable in this field because of my children.

    I'm fangirling over here in WV~~~I'm in the school, too and I love Doc Jones!! Joining his school is one of the very best things I've done! I finished the courses a few years ago, but I continue to enjoy his teaching and I learn more as times goes along. Just this morning I had a daughter with severe menstrual cramping and I knew what to do, because of the school. My husband pulled/tore a muscle in his chest this summer and we healed it with comfrey/castor oil poultices. I stepped on a tack (which ran completely into my heel), and while I sat on the floor gathering my wits (it hurt!), I instructed my daughter (she's also a student...just began the school) to make a poultice using Bentonite clay and we wrapped my foot, then she brought a bit of colloidal silver for me to take internally in case of infection. Lobelia has practically brought me back from the edge of severe anxiety attacks, which started occurring when I went through several years of terribly stressful situations in my life. I was crippled with anxiety....and Lobelia came to the rescue. I could go on for hours.
    Thank you for sharing this interview and God bless both your homestead and Doc's school!

Now I eat or take something from that plant almost daily, it is truly a beloved part of my urban homestead. Beautiful, free, nutritious, herbal, bounty for freezing it's a gift from God in my book.

    I just made my very first herbal cough syrup, it has mullein leaf, raw honey, and brandy. I had somewhat of a recipe, like a template because the recipe seemed a little too complicated to do simple things (saute and strain mullein, set it aside, melt honey, etc) so I edited the recipe to make more than a pint and to make it a slow cooker recipe instead of stove top. It turned out extremely great, and I actually got to put it to good use because I was using air conditioner humidifiers to cool off my house. My lungs were full of crap from allergies and night air plus the humidifier junk. Two tablespoons is a life saver with crud in your chest, I'm proud of me.
    I'm glad I came across this video so I can watch it ahead of time before I need to make herbal elixirs. Thanks.

      True understanding of the body and of the plant opens doors to healing that are easily missed if all we're doing is memorizing a list. I have several students in the school that have completed other well-known programs (most of which are vastly more expensive than mine) who comment on what a different experience they're having with our approach. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is great. But real understanding of the patterns and processes of living things provides the links that bring all that knowledge together so that there can be real engagement in the processes of healing folks. That's kind of what we're all about at the HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine. It seems like youtube videos, blogs and magazine articles are always full of lists of things that can change our lives. What can really change us is true understanding.

      I'm very sensitive too! It's awful especially when you're chronically ill.
      You may have already, but I would suggest trying Chlorophyll gel caps. They shouldn't bother you bc it's just like having a bunch of spinach without the fiber. It's good for your stomach, builds red blood cells, builds blood oxygen, good for liver & kidneys, and has copper which is good if you have anemia or fatigue. I recommend the Chlorofresh gel caps by Nature's Way (I believe that's the name of the brand) bc the gel caps are preserved whereas most Chlorophyll is already "dead."
      Live Peppermint herbs are also wonderful for inflammation and stomach issues....
      PS Peppermint has immune system boosting properties and antibiotic properties as does the Chlorophyll!
      I've been taking the Chlorophyll for a long time, and there's only a handful of research showing the blood boosting, oxygen boosting factors, UNTIL Covid hit, and now there's a lot more peer reviewed research to support it!

      Hi Susan, honesty you could pick about any herb and find remarkable utility in it. Take chamomile for example, it's calming and good for insomnia. It makes a good tea to use topically for conjunctivitis, It's good for menstrual cramps. It's good for muscle and nerve pain internally or topically. It has antiviral and antibiotic properties.... And lots of herbs are capable of that much diversity. Have a look at my books The HomeGrown Herbalist and The HomeGrown Herbalist Guide to Medicinal Weeds. They are both full of great plants that you may already have on your place or could if you wanted to. Both are available on my website. :0)

Caution...be careful where you gather from. No yards treated with pesticides, no fields next to highways and main roads, etc.

We had him tested for every ingredient used in the meal, and of all the things, he is allergic to parsley and garlic. I have used garlic a zillion times before, and parsley plenty. The allergist has never even heard of something being allergic to garlic. I am absolutely on board with herbalism and naturopathy, but I am struggling with my confidence to try these things out when I have so much at stake! I would love some feedback from Doc Jones on understanding how I can help him.

      I'm so sorry to hear that! I've never heard of a garlic allergy also. Did your husband get the covid vaccine?

      I have a garlic allergy. I end up with a migraine. Small amounts I am okay with so I still cook with it sparingly. I figured it out about 27 years ago.
      Glad your husband is okay.

      Allergies can be bizarre, random things. When working with someone with plant allergies, youl want to avoid any plants from the same family of those they're allergic to.

      I'm a pharmacist, and I have heard of true garlic allergy. It's very rare but does happen; allergy to onions is somewhat more common.

    • @bobcostas9716
      @bobcostas9716 2 года назад +22

      Garlic, Onions, Chives, Shallots, etc, are alliums. I was a cook for a long time, and allium intolerance is not uncommon. A proper allium allergy, that could cause anaphylaxis, is very rare. You may want to get a second opinion from a different allergist to confirm the diagnosis. It would be a shame to find out the hard way that your allergist was wrong.

      The vast majority of herbs in common usage these days have very wide margins of safety. The only times one needs to be really careful are during pregnancy, lactation or when combining them with pharmaceuticals.

    It's called esophageal spasm, and it can be very frightening, because even water won't go past it! And it can remain that way for 12 hours. I now have 2 very small cramp bark (viburnum opululus) bushes in the back yard. While waiting for them to grow large enough to prune, I eat only infinitesimally tiny bites of meat, etc., just to be on the safe side.

    Carolyn and doc Jones, Thank you for this video I am growing herbs and have identified many "weeds" in my yard that can be used medicinally and as food. I am apprehensive about using some of them because I'm not secure in my knowledge of them. I do grow and use chamomile and all the kitchen, cooking herbs. I once grew savory which helped with bug bites when crushed and rubbed on the skin. I used it and it was amazing! So...keep teaching people all you can. We appreciate this knowledge. I may just look up the doc's site!

    The fear of trying to remember what plant is need for what disease and where, when and how to obtain it, etc has kept me fearful of starting.

I wish I'd forged on, especially after listening to your video here. Thank you both!

    "memory is usage". Welp, I'm not gonna remember that then! The mention of serendipitous plant or knowledge finds is absolutely true. A plant or a piece of knowledge pings my radar in such a small way and then I need it shortly thereafter. I call them information nuggets, little pieces of mental gold to add to my mine (mind).

Currently I am studying Golden Rod, Pearly Everlasting and Yarrow. Three plants that grow in abundance here. The other heavy hitter is St John's Wort....this one really fascinates me! And I was actually successful in growing it this season 😊

    I find that a good plant app used liberally around the homestead has transcended my ability to identify medicinal plants that grow locally. I just discovered a white vervain yesterday, and last week I discovered coltsfoot, just a weed to most. Along with growing much of my own medicine cabinet, I am loving discovering what is growing in my biome. Even monkeys use herbs, hence our species and our forebears have utilized the use of medicinal plants for millions of years.

      Probably goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway- be careful with plant identification apps. They are not 100% accurate. Use the app as a start, but do follow up research to be sure before putting anything in your body.

    What a wonderful surprise! I love your videos Carolyn and I've been watching a lot of Doc Jones recently so I was so pleased to see this video in my feed! I would love to see a video where Doc Jones' wife goes over some of the herbs that can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I've spent the past six years in this phase and will continue to spend quite a few more. So it would be nice to be able to use more than just strawberry and raspberry leaves confidently! If I've got a fever because I'm sick, and I can't use yarrow, what are my options? Or heartburn? I would love to have herbal alternatives I can turn to.
