RE: COMFREY--I have two comfrey plants in the back yard that was given to me. Will someone send me information as to all the ways I can use it? For example, how do you dry it? In the sun? In the oven? In a food dryer?
I think there was a comfrey scare once which put a damper on people using comfrey. But I read a story of a woman whom the doctors had given up on. She was on her way to Hawwaii to say goodby to her relatives, but read a magazine which described a health center, so she changed her ticket and went there instead. She lived for about 2 years on juices, and mentioned comfrey in her book. Today, she is well and alive. > Jump subjects: Is there such a thing as colloidal gold? Yes, there is a colloidal gold, like colloidal silver. People believe gold helps your nervous system, but I think Dr. Schulze's nerve tonic is more effective.
