[@donnarichey144]

What good is the plant then? Even to use as fertilizer would it be harmful?

[@TurfTherapy]

The plant is great as a fertilizer and has been used for many years for medicinal purposes. The problem is that many people are self-medicating without knowing the risk that comes with the plant itself. I didn't put this out to scare you but to inform you of the pros and cons and my perspective on the plant. Many licensed horticultural doctors can properly advise you on whether you should use this for medicinal uses but if you have any predispositions to kidney or liver issues, I caution you on following random people's claims of this being a miracle plant. I hope this clarifies and Thanks for watching! 😁🌱

I am so grateful for Comfrey. I have True Comfrey, Symphytum Officinalis, it is the most beneficial garden/farm plant for us. True comfrey doesn't spread via root it spreads through seed drop and it produces seeds several times through the growing season so you do have to keep up on it. I make an all natural very potent fertilizer, Comfrey compost tea, and my tomatoes, potatoes, onions thrive with it high in phosphorus and potassium good nitrogen too. Stinging nettle is a great composter, fertilizer too and very high in nitrogen and a good people food too loaded with protein and nutrients galore. I have arthritis and have been using Comfrey Salve, poultice and even Comfrey Tea made with the dried leaves for digestive issues on occasion. Most Homeopath MDS still use topical Comfrey but are not allowed to prescribe for internal use. I don't care for traditional medical practices and only use nature for healing so I don't follow the FDA guidelines.

It’s called Bocking 14, not Blocking. 😁. And the alkaloids in it are extremely mild, especially in the leaves, compared to other plants in the same family, but Comfrey has been lumped in with all the rest. It also needs to be grown in the ground rather than a pot. The whole point of Comfrey is that it sends deep roots down to pick up the rich array of nutrients from the subsoil. That’s what makes it such a useful plant.

Only a tiny splash to a gallon of water & free!! ... Wilted clean leaves can be bandaged onto sprains & bruises (not onto broken skin) Healing time is fast..

The Bocking 14 type of comfrey does not spread I haveseveral of mine planted in several places-in ground and they die back in the winter and grow right back up in the spring. I grow them in the ground because it has a long taproot that goes deep down and sequesters minerals from the soil way beyond the where most of our plant's roots can reach so, when we chop and drop the comfrey leaves, they get way more minerals from the depths of the soil that can't really be gotten so easily from a containerized plant. If you plant your containerized comfrey in the ground you will be happily surprised to see how much more robust it'll grow for you.

The leaves make a wonderful fertiliser. You can add them to your compost (speeds up de-composition), or soak leaves in a bucket of water for a while and use the liquid. Be aware - the liquid will have a very strong odour so you may have to cover it. I would anyway, to protect it from dogs, children, little critters like lizards and bees, etc. Hope this helps someone. Blessings to all.

That was a flawed RAT study where they fed nothing BUT comfrey extract. Not the natural leaf, not in nature where they would select from many different foods. It’s the similar case with their Vit A experiencements because, they used SYNTHETIC vit. A and only fed that until the animal died. Animal source is the only Vit. A that should be consumed, called (retinal) . Plant “Vit. A” or beta carotene is called (pre-cursor) Vit. A, which means many more steps inside the body has to work to turn it into retinal Vit. A.

The 'danger' is BS and designed to denigrate it and keep people AWAY from something that has helped mankind for centuries. An Australian CSIRO scientist 'found more PAs' in it than anyone before. Same guy misquoted amounts from other research in his paper - wrong info that has never been corrected. You have to know Big Pharma funds studies to diss (denigrate) anything they don't want you using and/or finding out how effective it is. I have collected old books on comphrey...pigs with the HEALTHIEST livers (the organ the studies reckon show damage from comphrey) the butcher had ever seen. It is the only plant that draws Vit B12 from the soil. The only multi-cropping plant that could feed animals and people in 3rd world countries. Just like they did with laetrile (vit b17 from apricot kernels) they tell you has cyanide and will kill you. What they don't tell you is that ONLY the CANCER cells have the enzyme that breaks down laetrile into cyanide (& kills only the cancer cell as a result). Normal cells do NOT have tge enzyme to break laetrile down so are fine. It is the most targeted cancer therapy ever..yet they make sure everyone thinks it is poisonous. it's a brilliant strategy - by Big Pharma - to spread MIS-information about comphrey, and STUPIDLY people repeat it, instead of investigating it for themselves. You can dry it, powder it and eat it..with no ill effects. it is called "all heal" and "knitbone" for a reason. Also put in olive oil and heat up or put in sun to extract what the leaves contain. Rub resulting oil on bruises, varicose veins scratches and watch them heal rapidly. Don't swallow unquestioningly all you are told by people repeating what they were told. Research it for yourself, like I have. Try it externally first. if you have internal issues, powder it, mix 1/2 teaspoon with eg yoghurt (yep, tastes like grass) and watch your issues lessen and go away. if worried get bloods done (re liver function) before and after taking for a while. test it yourself. I would only be worried if I shoved 5800 leaves (the equiv of how they dosed baby rats to produce one with a liver tumour) into my mouth at one time. 1/2 teaspoon dried comphrey is about 1 very large leaf). FYI. At 1/2 teaspoon, that is 11,600 days that is years before you will ingest what they injected (note diff route of administration too) into BABY rats for this one experiment. see how they fool you with 'the science' you religiously accept at face value from those science 'oracles'. pS I am a scientist (biochemist)..and I dislike being lied to be established interests.

Thanks for your interesting video! I would love to put my comfrey in a pot, as it's so invasive, but someone told me the reason why it has so much goodness in it, is because its roots reach further down than most plants and bring up nutrients. So if you put it in a pot, it won't have that stash of nutrients to share. What do you think? I'm hoping that view is wrong, as it's trying its best to take over my garden!

[@bakedbean37]

The deep rooting nature of comfrey and it's greater access to minerals than shallower rooting plants is what I understood as being among the benefits of comfrey for making plant fertilizer. I guess if you are using it for it's metabolites, alkaloids etc. for other purposes that's potentially less important. I've previously been interested in comfrey for fertilizer use but recently came across it's medicinal potential. I'm going down hard and fast with early onset arthritis (new knee next week...!!!) and thought I might try using it medicinally. I'd probably still want the deep rooted natural stuff though. I only have a small container garden on a balcony. I source stuff like comfrey, nettles, horsetail etc. out in the wild. I could grow comfrey in containers but somehow it doesn't sit right with me for the reason you noted.

@@bakedbean37 Be very careful when using medicinally. I was told you can’t use for longer than one month at a time because it can damage your liver and kidneys. It’s not a good option for chronic pain because of this.

You are sooo lucky! I ordered 10 roots, only 2 took, and they're struggling! Would like to know a good source to buy dependable roots.

If you won't use it as a salve then why would you use it as a mulch?
