Agreed.
OK wombats, time for a reality check. I'm pretty sure medicinal use should be based on one's personal preference. I personally have been an antibiotic abuser. I have some unidentified blood symptom that caused me to get abcesses when I scraped my skin, which was every week due to diving into bunkers in paintball practice. I went through so many antibiotics that most of them now dont work. Luckily I don't have the problem so often. I'm sure that combinations of medicines natural and synthetic or processed can be used to take care of most symptoms [although they may not cure the disease]. Remember in the book 'Orchid Fever' how someone [notice no names mentioned] attributes using chemical treatments on Paphs to the extent of damaging their own health; I use Physon undiluted on my plants. I'm sure [the coughing is a giveaway clue] that this isn't healthy for me but it's my choice. Let's be cool and just contribute our advice. Your's truly, Eric. P.S. Heather, I thought you were the Paph Goddess. :wink:bwester said:I was talking about the fight against aggressive bacteria. I'm am quite aware of the fact that many drugs are derived from natural items. However, i stand by my previous posts when it comes to nasty bugs like erwinea. Plus, i bet there were some anti-biotics in addition to the dragon's blood and cat's claw, Lance, am I wrong???
Dragons may have feet, but cows do not have a penis.oke:bwester said:I'm sorry, I failed to see the reality check on that one, Eric. However, when I end up with copper poisoning from my exposure to phyton, I'll be sure to try some dragon's foot or cow's penis and see how it comes out. At least my plants will be healthy though.
