Weeds for lung health

[Guest guest]

Never underestimate the power of the weeds

in your own backyard!

 

I had the most luscious plantain this year in

between the garden beds, but I already get

a healing salve with plantain from a friend,*

and didn't feel like doing more fussing.

 

Now I wish I had collected some to tincture.

 

This information came from HSI institute, the

good people who brought the clever herb Graviola

into the open. In a test tube Graviola

can tell the difference between good cells and bad

ones. But, that is another story.

Another botanical that's been shown to help smokers is Plantago Major. In the

December 2000 HSI Members Alert, we told you about a 1982 study in which

Plantago Major reduced chronic bronchitis in 80 percent of the patients tested.

 

Almost 15 years ago, Dr. Mary Cody, a physician and researcher, found that

Plantago Major creates a natural aversion to tobacco when inhaled or ingested.

In a 1992 study, 24 heavy smokers were given Plantago Major tincture in a nasal

spray and then instructed to smoke. More than 80 percent of the subjects

reported an aversion to tobacco shortly after receiving the dose, and the effect

lasted as long as 24 hours for some of the subjects.

 

Dr. Cody's Plantago Major formula was patented shortly after that trial and is

now available as a product called CIG-NO. Unlike nicotine patches or nicotine

gum, which deliver the exact chemical you're trying to avoid, CIG-NO (which is

sprayed under the tongue) creates an almost immediate reduction in cigarette

cravings, with no reported side effects. You can find more information at

cigno.com.
