I love how Doc just unceremoniously squashed the “are viruses alive” debate. 😂 Such a powerful teacher! I’m grateful to Carolyn for introducing him on this channel because I’ve learned so much from him.

[@Romans828girl]

Me too. The first time I saw Doc Jones, he told Carolyn the story of someone in his family getting a piece of dry chicken stuck in their throat, and he dropped some cramp bark tincture down her throat and it went right down. Well, I have trouble swallowing. I paused the video and went to his website and ordered it right then. It works just like he said it would! I have placed a few orders since then, and I've used the formulas on his website to learn which herbs work for what. I am so glad to have Homegrown Herbalist as a resource. Thank you, Carolyn!

[@southerngirl7008]

Make Doc Jones a regular guest......😊

[@jenniferrawles2989]

I got to meet Dr. Jones and listen to two of his lectures and met his wife. Salt of the earth people! His enthusiasm is so contagious!

[@nancyplank1651]

The Tamaflu meds supposedly contain Shimelaic Acid. I have made and used tinctures made from the sweet gum tree green balls/pods which also is supposed to contain Shimelaic Acid. Please as Doc Jones if he is familiar with this. I would be interested in his response. Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing! God Bless!!

[@EveryDayAmityShay]

Awesome thanks so much. Everyone needs to be their own herbalist

This guy is spot on! Great interview 👍😊

[@bonneymoseley1159]

Thank you for this! I am actually dealing with the aftermath of a virus I got about 5 weeks ago, it has affected my digestive system. Really bad. It's funny he said it enters somewhere, I had an upper respiratory infection prior to this virus. I treated both with natural stuff and still am, but this aftermath issues is really keeping me down.

[@morganlynn7235]

Have watched many of your videos & always enjoy them - this one is probably my favorite! 🤓

[@chrissybilleiter]

I recently learned that green sweet gum balls can be made into a tincture with the same active ingredient as Tamiflu!

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

A big part of our home natural diet is the raw milk. Today when I bought a quart of raw milk because I was passing by one of the stores that sells it, I had a chat with the clerk. Think of it, we said. There are five things in this bottle of milk and not much of anything left of the publicly sold ‘milk’ exists when it’s pasteurized and/or homogenized. Plus what people call regular milk rots and when it rots it smells awful. Our stuff just turns to cheese. It’s food.!!!!!

Could you please pass along that recipe for the Pineneedleliquor?

[@eastcoasthomestead5207]

I found one, haven’t used it myself but am going to try it. 1 cup clean and rinsed and shaken dry conifer(pine) needles and a 750 ml bottle of vodka. Put clean needles in a jar and cover with vodka , stir to remove any bubbles or air pockets and cover and place in dark cover for 2 weeks -2 months then strain and bottle

[@doriegeorge6686]

The recipe is from Rosalee's book Wild Remedies

[@catherinebourdon8258]

And so now I bet people are asking about the kind of pine needle. Can it be sourced simply from a (any species?) pine tree in our backyards, or elsewhere recommended?

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

Great information

[@carolkantner1770]

I love Doc Jones...

[@LakesRegionFarm]

Can we talk about herbs to do with pregnancy and postpartum, as well as infancy fevers and illness

[@angieeaton1847]

I have shingles! I used oregano oil on the break out covered... It stopped the breakout but I have the deep aching pain.

[@audreychamberlain]

Try bentonite clay

[@angieeaton1847]

For the deep.aching?? How ?

[@elizagoodytwoshoes9140]

Try The New Biology Clinic sounds like internal inflammation your ginger turmeric teas, lots of water and add a pinch of Celtic salt under the tongue. Barbara O'N E I L has amazing info check Self Heal By Design. A lot of people who got the prick have got shingles.

[@monicali2608]

Fantastic!!

[@myAmericanGirlLife]

I would love your thoughts on what to do if you have gene mutations on every gene in the methylation process? Since giving your body the nutrients it needs is so important, it is frustrating when you find out your body is having trouble making those nutrients available to your body. I am always the first and last to be sick in the family 😌

[@brandonlee4039]

Doc Jones is a legend!

[@sclindah]

Loved this presentation. Would it work to freeze dry various herbs for later use and vacuum pack them? I would love an update on your herb garden and what you use most. I would love to have an herb garden and know how to use it.

[@kathleenburns172]

Doc mentioned on a previous video somewhere I watched and he didnt feel like freeze drying them would make them last any longer. He still said they would need to be used up within a year or the medicinal quality will not be there.

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Yes, absolutely. They need to be freeze dried at 95℉. You will want to use them within about a year for the most benefits.

[@SH-td6cs]

Oh good to know! I didn't know my tinctures were good that long.

[@smfrink]

This was great! I love the riff on the ‘vid origins 😂😂

Just thinking back to all I've been taught. It has never been said. How did viruses EVER come to be since they are not alive?

[@elizagoodytwoshoes9140]

Good question, lots of great info out there to disprove their existence they are always hunting for the culprit when there are a multitude of reasons. Poisoning, over use of chemicals, air pollution, sprays. The decline of polio was in conjunction with less use of D D T. They do not adhere to kochs postulates.

[@naptimeseamstress]

I would like storage tips. All the foil bags of dried herbs in my pantry are out of control! Should I use plastic totes/ shoe boxes? Organize them alphabetically? Or by use? I have so many! But getting them out to make a tea or a poultice is hazardous!😅

[@mysticmeadow9116]

I put them alphabetical and date the bags. Also make yourself a notebook on Uses by ailment. That way you know what herb to use for whichever ailment your dealing with. Books are good but you need a list of your 'go to' medicinals. Totes are useful for larger bags. I keep mine on a shelf in a dark cool room with a ceiling fan for air circulation. Hope that helps.

[@katjawilliams9351]

I’ve heard olive leaves and pine needles mentioned a few times now during the pantry chats including this one. Are they special species that need to be used or any backyard plant?

[@liebekatz1]

I have been taking Olive Leaf Extract for 3 years. It was recommended by a pharmacist with a PhD. It has been very beneficial for me. I order it in a capsule for.

Pine needles...the ones that have fallen on the ground? Any specific pine?

[@FineFeatheredHomestead]

Just pick a handful of a tree that was not sprayed, rinse under cool water and allow to dry out on the counter. You don't want ones off the ground.

[@northernlassie2755]

Just the new growth green needles. There are certain pines to not use. The natives used pine needles over the winter to stop scurvy...

[@susandennison2833]

I have an allergy to echenacia (sorry for the spelling) and chamomile, what would you suggest for substituting these.

[@monicali2608]

Problems with chamomile may be magnesium deficiency. Can be be found out easily, because lots of vids present the symptoms.

[@susandennison2833]

@monicali2608 if I have a magnesium deficiency how does a Chamomile allergy show this? I am very curious to know the answer.

[@susanspeed1638]

I heard Tamaflu was made from Star of Anise.

[@cookiewilcox5082]

Do dried pine needles work??..or do they have to be fresh picked (green)?

Both work. Also fresh tip with honey or letting them sit in brown sugar makes a nice sirup.

Hsv- encephalitis- seizures. Help.

[@jj21888]

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection-associated herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is an occasionally but severe neuronal disease that causes behavioral disorder and impairs cognition. Herein, we demonstrate that the consumption of ketogenic diet (KD), a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet, restricts the neurotropic infection of HSV-1 and HSE progression in mice. KD reduced weight loss, neurodegenerative symptoms, virus production and neuroinflammation, resulting in the enhanced survival rate of HSE mice. Notably, depletion of gut microbes by antibiotics attenuated the protective function of KD on HSV-1-related neuroinflammation and HSE development. Therefore, KD represents as an alternative therapeutic strategy to alleviate or prevent HSE via gut microbiota.

Making light of the causes of COVID and culturally denigrating comments about Chinese people/scientists diminishes you and may diminish your actual argument.
