1949 Physicians desk reference / herbs, and after 1985

June 22, 2006

Greetings Group My curiosity always gets me. I have a book written on Native American use of Herbs, written at the turn of the last century.Once I went to my local library and spent the day looking for the listing of specific Herbs in books.I found that after 1985 many Herbs were not mentioned. For instance, Chaparal. Chaparal is a bush that grows wild in the South west, used for many ailments. After 1985, books do not mention Chaparal Earthfeatherlynn sheer <bigotterwv wrote: How blessed you are to have a PDR with mostly herbal information. I thought my regular one was old (93). Sure would love to get ahold of a PDR for Herbs. As a chemist, are there particular

herbal books you recommend? I have a medical background (mainly oncology) but would like to know which books you'd recommend. Thanks for sharing LynnRoger Jenkins <starbucks_coffee_stinks wrote: As a chemist, I find it interesting that after seeing a 1949 PDR, many ofthe meds were actual herbs (standardized) and vitamins (bioflavanoids for blood vessel disorders). Today, everything is a chemical (and expensive also). This has caused severe problems since when an herb is taken for its active principle, there are co factors in the herb which help.

Hi Barb!

Chaparral is used in NA (Native American) herbal medicine for arthritis, TB, and open wound infections. It can cause dangerous kidney and liver side effects if used improperly.

When someone used it improperly and got sick it was put on the FDA's dangerous herb list, much like ephedra (Ma Huang) was a short time ago. It is currently sold with the "not for human consumption" label.

Chaparral can be purchased again but all good references have already been deleted.

Chaparral grows wild in the southwest and is aka creosote bush.

I use Chaparral for making poultices.

I fell on a trailer and deeply scraped/cut my shin to the bone. I could not get it to heal with neo-spor__ antibiotic cream as it would just scab over and hold the infection in. I finally had to use a plantain and chaparral poultice to draw the infection out. It started healing the first day and eventually took 5 days to heal completely from the inside out. The remaining deep scar looks better than any other scar on my ankles and shins, less dis-colorization..

Have many of you have looked at those little hard-to-read inserts in pharmaceuticals for the "known side effects"?. It scares me and I will not take those that are so bad for you to put a cover, not a cure, on one or two symptoms. Someday I hope to be completely herbal.

Hello to you too I do inow about the one case of a woman dieing from use of Chapparal.But my return arguement is what about the 100,000 cases per year of people dying from pharmaceutical drugs? Chaparal is also used internally, people report ( sucessfully).But of course, if we listened to the news media, no one would be using CS Government is doing its best to remove the use of "natural ways".They want your money honey.And they want control. There is a stanza in the Bible that states that God says his seeds of foods and etc, will always be with us and available. That nothing will destroy what God has planted. I am going to have to find that passage again for my reference. But it is in there. Your email address hints that you are Cherokee....??? Also, speaking of side

effects, my MD doctor wrote out a prescription for me, I specifically ask if there were any side effects, He Said" No,".I bought the medicine at the pharmacy, took it home and read the print out of side effects. There were two ( small print) pages of side effects.I did not take one of those little darlings. I figure my expense was educational. EarthfeatherStaya Udanvti Bob Butler <CherokeeBo wrote: Hi Barb!
