One more that I think is really important, from Tom McDowell:
Apologies for not posting here sooner.
As a retailer I can not give medical advice, so please don't ask.
As a retailer I'm severely limited on what I can say. This is why you do not see many posts from me detailing our products. If I make a mistake and say the wrong thing I will be shut down and possibly prosecuted by Federal and State authorities. Statements I may make separately aside from products can be combined with product statements and used as violations of law against the USA in the time of a national emergency as a matter of national security. You think I'm kidding see this post:

I've never asked anyone to promote our products, any mentions have been by the members free will. Thank You - I appreciate it!!
I can not sell to people if they I know they are pregnant, or are taking other prescribed medicines and intend to use ours without their doctors consent.
I can not describe any product for the use for any medical condition, nor the mitigation, or prevention of one.
I may only sell our products as a dietary supplement.
Now with all that out of the way - why the heck are you people not buying more lomatium?
We're going broke here! Get on it or I'll have to shut it down!
Look!
The bottle alone makes for a fine shelf decoration!
The four ounce bottle will look awesome standing tall against the one ounce. If you want neighbors to envy you must buy the 16 ounce bottle for the full set.
Care should be taken these bottles are not in the sunlight as it degrades the contents. Also if they're visible in a window shelf your neighbors may steal them - they are that valuable.
All kidding aside Lomatium has had tremendous acclaim in bygone years. When a doctor says the patients just stopped dying from the1918 Spanish Flu (at the end of the pandemic), it usually is a good sign. Was described as THE BEST for treating pneumonia.
Quote:
It was such a remarkable coincidence that the root was investigated by a practicing physician who saw apparently hopeless cases recover without any other medication or care of any kind. A preparation was prepared and employed in a great many cases among the whites, from the mildest to the most virulent types of influenza, and it proved, among other things, that it is the nearest approach we have today to a specific in epidemic influenza and the accompanying pneumonia. Where used early it proved itself to be a reliable agent in preventing pulmonary complications. Other physicians were induced to give it a trial, with the same results.
It is beyond the experimental stage, as its therapeutic action in this direction is established and beyond any doubt. The cases in which it has been used run into the hundreds. There is probably no therapeutic agent so valuable in the treatment of influenzal pneumonia and, as far as being tried, in ordinary lobar pneumonia if started early.
Its action on coughs is more certain than the opiate expectorants and its benefit is lasting.
It acts as a powerful tonic to the respiratory mucous membranes. It is a bronchial, intestinal and urinary antiseptic and is excreted by these organs.
It seems to stimulate the pneogastries (sic) and causes a slow pulse with increased volume and reduced tension. It is a pronounced diaphoretic and somewhat diuretic, and it is a stimulating and sedative expectorant. In large doses it is a laxative, and in extreme doses emetic.
Ok Really - did you read that? Really, word for word or just hit the bold stuff??
Tossed aside as relic when anti-biotic drugs came along.
No one wanted to invest in a hugely expensive scientific undertaking they could not control.
Now we can use it, need it and I can only sell you the bottle since it's so pretty! Even has an old fashioned rubber thingy on the top.
Oh and you better believe I know how skeptical people are around here, but for crying out loud people - Can you argue against a pretty bottle?
Oh, before I forget, if anyone should ever want to use the contents of these pretty bottles - it tastes terrible! Don't buy this for how it tastes.
Use the Montana balancing method. Tastes gnarly - feel like carp. Hmmmm tastes Gawd Awful - feel like I'm dyin. Hmmmmm
Whiskey tastes bad too, hmmmmm.
We have lot's of bottles, however the liquid content is a fixed inventory. Takes years to produce a root, you know ten to 50 years! Our supplier plants seeds when harvesting the root. It's called sustainable harvesting. Who knows - in another 90 years we may need it again!
Before I forget we have another pretty bottle with a label that has a very pretty and cool name - Synergy 7x Trademarked.
That bottle with the cool label contains yucky tasting Lomatium combined with six other gnarly tasting botanical extracts.
One of which is the Black Elderberry. Yep those yahoos in Montana mixed those two together - just what were they thinking anyway???
Now there's also the extract of Echinacea Flower Tops in the formula, and that's got some bad press lately. However it seems to be unfounded, as the studies which support Black Elderberry confirm Echinacea does not add or work towards the creation of Cytonic inflammatory storms. Picked by high school cheerleaders in the Flathead Valley and processed fresh by BigHorn, it's the strongest and best around. ;-)
Four other botanicals are relatively unknown, Serviceberry flower tops being the most well known of them has had a very good reputation for years. Though I doubt they were ever processed fresh before. It's in the Respiratory tea, and the respiratory formula, we do not sell it as an extract - don't ask.
Red Alder Catikins are a hangy down thingy off the Red Alder Branches, it's like little male pollen flower penimathingy - which was found by the BC Government to have way potent, kicked every other plant off the playing field kind of properties. Yes - I have the documents!~
Devils Club - is one of those ethno-botanical kind of deals. Northwestern Native Americans used it for colds, respiratory issues, then later to insulin resistant diabetes. Big bears when they're done with the sows seek it out and chew on it. Which by the way is pretty weird since it has gazillions of tiny needles that you can not get out of your skin without magnifying glass fitted tweezers. And believe me you want them out, they hurt like the dickens. They even named the plant appropriately Oplopanix horridus. These sex exhausted bears say "what the heck" and start chewing up the plants before retiring for the winter - go figure.
Lastly Yewtips (trademarked)
Taxus Brevifolia The Pacific Yew - the most studied plant ever.
Why, gazillions of dollars.
First off the Taxus species is one if not thee ~ oldest tree known to man. God created it somewhere between days three and five. And on every continent they are poisonous. All except on one portion of Northwestern America. What? Not poisonous there too?
Nope, my neighbor Rus Willis found that out and proved it in 1992.
For that his distinction in Herbal history is assured.
Oh the mighty Yew has much lore, legend and uses, however non-medical (unless you're a Roman and want to off a political foe).
That is until the mid-1960's when they were looking for cancer cures and found something in the bark kicked cancer butt.
Turns out it was a hideously complex molecule that they researchers named Taxol (trademarked).
Then the US Government spent tens and maybe hundreds of millions dollars to figure out what the deal was, once solved they gave it away to Bristol Meyers Squib. Yippeee Said Bristol, let's peel all the bark off of all the Pacific Yew Trees and make some real dough!
That's when my neighbor Rus got involved. Hauser was hired by Bristol to get the trees stripped down and the bark to town. Rus ran an effort with more than a few crews.
Wear gloves, don't breath the dust - it's poison!
Well it turns out is wasn't, fact is it turns out it was beneficial.
Since then the plant has gobs of patented analogues, and there's a whole lot of science detailing what this ancient species has to offer.
For those with a whim for knowledge have a field day on google. Warning most of the scientific stuff is proprietary, phrama lock and key. However the lore is fascinating. Start with Yew.
Another one of those takes forever to grow plants (some are over 2000 years old in England), Rus harvests the bough tips sustainably, under permit from Federal, State and Private sources. Processes it fresh, makes, extract, oil, tea, powder in capsules, hand lotion, lip balm and salve.
Well no matter how this combination became to be on this pretty label on this pretty bottle - it's one I really wish you'd add to your collection. I keep mine in plain site so I remember to admire it every day.
Poke around here and ask some folks what they think - why you'd trust them and not me is ok. I get it. After all - I'm selling a bottle with cool word on the label with green yucky tasting stuff inside.
Now - there's a thing about vitamin D3 out there.
I take 5 to 10 thousand units of D3 a day, after you folks buy enough brown bottles and tasty tea. I'm going to be able to afford to have a test and see what my serum levels are. Until then I'm broke and am winging it.
The Now brand 5000 unit stuff is inexpensive and good quality. They have a pretty label too.
I bought my good stuff (50k units) from:
http://www.bio-tech-pharm.com
They're in Arkansas, and said ohh yes - Dr. Canell.
Shipped via Fed-ex, label is not as pretty - put that away for emergencies.
OK that's all I have to contribute - for now.
Remember nothing I have written has been reviewed by the FDA - please god, let's keep it that way!
