Cayenne: medicine or irritant?

This is one thing I feel differently about. I believe the ultimate goal of

an herbalist is to prevent disease by encouraging the eating of

various herbs in the daily diet, together with fresh raw organic fruits and

vegetables.

There are far too many herbs to list but they could include garlic, onions,

alfalfa, dandelion leaves,

pumpkin seeds, chickweed etc, and also on my course at least it is

emphasised all the time

that we are not treating symptoms but we are always searching for and

dealing with the

underlying cause. Symptoms alone should never be treated in herbalism.

Just my 2 cents!

 

best regards

Hi Persian,

This is precisely the point, you cannot " treat " the cause, you can only

remove the cause, If there is some toxin, irritant, or the like, or add

genuine nutrients if these are truly deficient in the diet. Have you seen my

post on Toxicity vs. Deficiency? This point is covered in that post in some

detail, please let me know if a repost is in order.

 

There is no such thing as an herb deficiency, I have never heard any

herbalist claim otherwise, nor would I ever expect to hear such a claim, it

would be ludicrous. There is no condition the body can heal on its own that

requires the use of an herb or any other treatment, OTHER than problems

resulting from trauma or from some genuine genetic defect (very rare, though

becoming more common as our species begins to devolve).

 

Persian, I have the impression that you have studied herbs extensively and

that you may be quite attached to your work with them. I can offer that you

have before you a great and wondrous, though admittedly perhaps a bit scary,

opportunity to make a quantum shift in your perceptions. Whether you do or

do not embrace that opportunity is a free will choice for you, of course.

But I can tell you that various people, myself included, have seen the body

perform " incredible " healing using only a healthy diet combined with

appropriate sunshine, activity, rest, fresh air, companionship, touch, etc.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan
