Today I'll show you the common plants growing in your own backyard:
... that will replace your antibiotic pills:
the common weeds that can numb your pain just like morphine:
the "tourniquet" plants that can stop your bleeding in minutes:
You'll also discover the plants that work better than modern drugs to reverse joint damage from Arthritis:
and to safely lower your cholesterol:
stabilize your blood sugar levels:
and even turn the clock back on degenerative brain diseases:
...and a lot, lot more.
I'm also going to share with you the strange story of one of the greatest healers who has ever lived. You'll find out how you can make and use three of his most powerful remedies immediately: one for severe pain, one for life-threatening infections, and one that will greatly improve your quality of life from this day forth. The last one will totally take you by surprise.
This man had desperate people in front of his house day and night hoping to find relief after conventional medicine failed them.
The lines were so long that one time the police even had to disperse them as they were blocking traffic on the street.
I've seen people whose doctors have given them no more than six months to live, who, after following his treatment, are still alive and well more than 20 years later.
I know all this because I was there, and this man was my grandfather.
The first remedy that I'm going to show you is called Angry Bear Pawwhich my grandfather used to treat wounded and dying American soldiers on the battlefield.
You'll probably want to keep some close at hand, especially if you're over 40.
My grandfather's story began during the Great Depression, when he became an orphan. Luckily, he was adopted by Aiyana, a Native American woman from whom he learned his first medicinal plants and remedies.
Before long, my grandfather could name thousands of edible and medicinal weeds. He knew where to find them, when to harvest them, and how to turn them into powerful remedies. He would scribble everything down in his plant notebook, which he kept by his side until his death.
By the beginning of WWII, he was already known as a gifted healer in the community.
During the bloody battle for Periers, his division converted a French church into a makeshift hospital.
By nightfall, it was full of hundreds of wounded young Americans.
And when the surgeons ran out of morphine it was my grandfather who gave the soldiers relief. He had Angry Bear Paw with him, which is a powerful painkilling extract he made from this plant:
I'm sure you've seen it in your backyard too.
My grandfather would rush from soldier to soldier and put a small vial of the extract to their lips. In a short time, the loud groans and cries subsided, to the amazement of all the army surgeons. He wasn't a medic, but after seeing how well his remedies worked, they let him do his job.
By the end of the war, every man in the 8th Infantry Division knew him as "Doctor Davis" ...and since then, that's what people called him.
Every June my grandfather would gather the leaves of this very common plant, which is called wild lettuce.
The milky substance is where the potency of this plant lies.
My grandfather would grind and boil the leaves until he got a brown substance like this:
Then you need to strain it and leave the liquid on low heat for another 2 to 3 hours until it becomes gluey and dark:
Sometimes it can take almost 4-5 hours.
The Comanche natives called this powerful extract Angry Bear Paw. That's because the warriors who drank it before battle could endure and keep on fighting despite heavy wounds, just like an angry mother bear.
The second remedy that I'll show you was known as Log Man's Mending Fur(Brandy), and it brought me back from the brink of death.
It might just do the same for you one day.
I had checked in for a routine lower back surgery, but in the process, I ended up catching a deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria: Staphylococcus Aureus.
Over 500,000 Americans get this bacterial infection each year, some after simple procedures or short hospitals stays, and 50,000 of them end up paying the ultimate price.
It's an unforgiving disease, and it's getting worse with each passing year as resistance to synthetic antibiotics increases.
And although the doctors tried many of those, the infection wasn't backing down. If anything, my condition was getting worse, to the point of having uncontrollable muscle seizures. The problem was that until they found the right antibiotic, the bacteria could have killed me.
You've probably worried about your own health from time to time, but I don't know if you've ever had a serious health problem yet.
I hope you haven't.
But...
When you know you're running out of time, it doesn't matter how brave you are, it doesn't matter how old you are, it doesn't even matter how much you've accomplished in your life, and it doesn't matter how much you'll try to hide it from everyone. Inside, you, just like everyone else, will be afraid.
All my life I said to myself that in the face of death, I will not flinch.
But I did.
With my family gathered around my soon-to-be death bed, all I could see were the good years I would lose.
You're never really ready to die, there's always a good reason to live, something that needs to be done: Maybe you want to see your grandsons settle in their homes or enjoy the retirement you've been waiting for such a long time. Maybe you want to pass on the valuable lessons you've learned in your life, or maybe you want to wake up in the morning and see one more beautiful sunrise.
What this experience taught me is that good health has no price, and often we don't realize it until it is too late.
My grandfather rushed to the hospital with his worn-out notebook, a bottle of vodka, and a bag of the plant below, which was popularly called Log Man's Mending Fur or Old Man's Beard in some parts of America.
I'm sure you've seen it too, hanging down from the dead trunks and tree branches:
This plant contains usnic acid, which is probably the only substance found in nature that is known to fight gram-negative bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus better than most antibiotics. It was still a gamble, but it was worth trying.
My grandfather had ground 1 ounce of the plant and placed it in a jar.
You need to add 5 ounces of vodka then leave it on low heat for 2 hours. After you let it rest for another day, you should have your own medicine jar of Log Man's Mending Fur.
It was called that way because during the frontier period, whenever a log man cut himself accidentally, this is what he put on the wound to stop the infection.
In my case, my grandfather poured 10 drops in a glass of water and let me drink it. After just one week of taking his medicine, I got better and left the hospital.
Sadly, my grandfather passed away in 2001.
But even in death, my grandfather taught me valuable lessons. The third remedy that I'll show you was one that I learned 3 days after he passed on, and it was called Red Beak Powder.
At his funeral, around 5,000 people from all over the country came to pay their respects. Our small town of Springfield didn't have enough hotels to accommodate them, so everybody offered a place to stay.
One of them was Mary, a 72-year-old lady from Texas who told me what my grandfather did for her many years ago. She was suffering from high blood pressure, a condition that is becoming very common, especially among seniors today. The medication was keeping her blood pressure and cholesterol under control, but it didn't cure her. She had to take the drugs every day for the rest of her life.
Mary told me that as the days passed, she was getting tired a lot easier without doing any more work than usual.
After a few months, her drugs had an effect she never anticipated. They caused life-threatening liver damage and brought her on the edge of cirrhosis.
So please read this part very carefully because if you are taking drugs regularly, you are exhausting your liver.
When you feel tired without any reason, it's usually the liver trying to tell you that it needs some rest.
The liver was never intended to process the chemicals inside drugs. This is why most people who have been taking pills for a long time are drained of energy, which ought to be there to fight the disease.
Pharmaceutical companies are not evil incarnate like some people think, but they're no charities either. Their drugs do work most of the time, yet they are designed to extract the maximum amount of money from their customers. From you. So, if they can treat the symptoms but not the root cause, then it's perfect. Because they want to keep you hooked for life. But your liver and your wallet might not appreciate it.
The doctor told Mary that she needed to cut the medication altogether.
So, her impossible choice was between dying from liver damage or risking a heart attack or stroke due to high blood pressure.
That's when she heard about my grandfather, who prescribed her a little known natural plaque remover that will melt away the deadly cholesterol deposits from your arteries. Less plaque, lower blood pressure-simple as that.
This powerful remedy is made from the berries of the Hawthorn tree.
My grandfather would gather them in late October. Then you need to remove the seeds because they contain a very small amount of amygdalin, which can be dangerous in large doses.
After that, you need to add water and blend the mixture.
Place the mix on a tray, and let it dry at 200℉ with the oven door open. Or use a dehydrator if you have one. You'll need to leave them for only 8 to 10 hours. My grandfather would dry them in the sun. But, of course, this took him days.
The powder can be put in capsules or mixed with water and taken orally for two months to completely cleanse your blood vessels.
With my grandfather's remedy, Mary stopped taking her blood pressure medication, and in a few months, her liver regenerated.
The pioneers called the berries of this tree Red Beak because of the bird that often hid among them.
But these 3 lost remedies are just the tip of the iceberg. Because what I'm about to show you now will dwarf them by comparison.
After my grandfather's funeral, I went to the house that had been my childhood paradise.
His now empty room had one wall covered with pictures of me growing up.
There was one from when my grandfather took me horseback riding for the first time. And one where he taught me how to shoot his rifle. Then another one from when we set up a big campfire to keep the wild boars from eating our crops. It didn't help; they still devastated our corn. But I surely loved that large fire and the marshmallows we cooked that night. We were so happy back then.
That's when it really hit me for the first time-I would never see or talk to my grandfather ever again.
And what I'll miss most of all-by far-are the times when we would go out to harvest the plants he needed for his medicines. Sometimes he would even send me out alone after giving me just his notebook filled with drawings. And I would always come back with a bag full of healing weeds.
On his nightstand, I found exactly his incredibly worn out notebook. The one he started with Aiyana during the Great Depression. The one that traveled with him during WWII and brought relief to American soldiers on the battlefield. The same notebook my grandfather brought with him when I had one foot in the grave. And the very same one that had helped thousands of other people. Some of them had conditions so severe their own doctors didn't know what to do. They all showed up on our doorstep: desperate mothers with their children, hopeless seniors plagued by chronic pain, and even bedridden people brought by their relatives. I've seen them all.
With my grandfather's passing, the world lost a great healer. My grandfather would never be able to help anyone anymore, but I decided his notebook will.
That's why I edited his old notebook so that anyone can take advantage of my grandfather's most powerful remedies. Instead of his drawings, I added real color pictures of the plants, so you can easily identify them. I also replaced his handwriting. At times it was difficult to make out, probably because some of the pages were written in the field and even in the midst of battle. But other than this, I left the information untouched. His manuscripts had stains of American blood from WWII on them. I printed those too, exactly as I found them.
After months of work and spending a great deal of time and money, I had it published.
In memory of my grandfather, I called it The Lost Book of Remedies:
And here's just a glimpse of what you'll find in it:
For every healing plant in my grandfather's Lost Book of Remedies, you'll find several pictures that will help you identify it. You'll also discover the little things you need to look for in order to be 100% sure you've got the right plant and not a lookalike.
This part goes extremely in depth so that people with no plant knowledge can use it to its full potential. I gathered medicinal plants for my grandpa when I was just 12. If I did it back then, I'm sure you can do it now too.
With hundreds of healing plants, I knew I had to find a way for people to quickly pinpoint the one they need. So first I grouped them by type and location.
If you're at home, just open the "Backyard Weeds" chapter to find out what "medicines" you're growing around your yard without even realizing it.
- In addition to the clear directions for the three remedies I've already shown you, you'll also find out about hundreds of other powerful medicines.
- I'm sure you recognize this common driveway weed:
Even if you're living in the city, it's kind of hard not to bump into it. What you probably don't know is that it's a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps wounds heal a LOT faster.
I'll show you how to make a poultice out of its leaves and use it to dress your wounds or cuts.
Or if you or one of your friends is suffering from an autoimmune disease like arthritis, you can use this as a remedy immediately.
- I'm pretty sure you would recognize a marshmallow,
...but maybe you wouldn't recognize the Marshmallow plant growing in your backyard.
Marshmallow plant with flowers:
But I'll show you how my grandfather unlocked the powerful antiviral properties hidden in its roots.
So, whenever you have an infection caused by a virus like flu, herpes, or hepatitis A, B, or C, this remedy will slow down the viruses' ability to reproduce and allow your body to fight back.
- Another weed you'll find in your backyard is known as senega. The name comes from the Seneca natives. They used to make a poultice from it to cure deadly snake bites during the 18th century.
A Scottish doctor observed that symptoms of rattlesnake bites resembled the advanced stages of pneumonia and lung disease, so he tried it out... and it was so effective that soon the plant was exported to Europe, where it continued to save many lives.
My grandfather would turn it into an expectorant that cleared the lungs of his patients and expelled any mucus. If you ever have any kind of lung problems from the flu or a nagging cough that just won't go away, don't rush out to buy a pack of Mucinex for $35.
In this huge chapter, you'll find all the other medicinal weeds and backyard plants that are hidden around your property. You've got a homegrown pharmacy that you don't even know about! Most of these plants are edible and can provide you with precious nutrients if you ever run low on food. This goes for all the plants you'll find in The Lost Book of Remedies-not only will you learn what parts of the plants are edible, but I'll also show you how to prepare them.
In the second part, you'll discover how to identify the wild edibles and remedies that grow in forests.
- If you ever need to go out foraging, will you know which of these plants are edible, which one is a remedy for hypertension, and which ones are poisonous?
The Native Americans knew all too well, and so did my grandfather. But very few people nowadays know, so don't feel bad if you don't. These kinds of skills will set you apart in any group... and will probably turn you into their guide or even savior.
I'm also sure that you've seen this plant too. It grows in most forest glades.
- I'm also sure that you've seen this plant too. It grows in most forest glades.
You'll discover how to use it to effectively treat not only common colds but lung infections as well. Breathing in the steam from leaves that have been boiled in water will also calm any asthma attack.
This is why 100 years ago people with asthma didn't die from it.
- If you ever walk through the edges of woodland, and get some sticky burrs attached to your clothing...
...you can bet you've just passed by this plant:
The best way to deal with this annoying weed?
Eat it!
Native Americans used it as a sweetener 200 years ago, and it tastes better than all the greens I know.
What people don't know is that this plant is a strong diuretic that you can also take for poor blood circulation. If you've ever felt a tingling and numbness sensation in a limb in certain positions, you probably have bad circulation. I've seen my grandfather's patients go from dizzy and tired most of the time to having an excess of energy in less than three weeks.
In the third part, you'll discover how to identify the wild edibles and remedies that grow especially in the prairie.
Most of these are spread all over America as well.
...which can be easily turned into one of the most powerful Antipyretics. This means that it drastically reduces the fever. If fact, the name "Boneset" was derived from the plant's use in the treatment of Breakbone Fever.
- Here is another widespread weed:
The folk name of this plants is the Cowboy's Toilet Paper. If you've ever touched its soft leaves, you understand why.
If you ever get an infected wound or cut, just apply The Frontier Poultice you'll find in my grandfather's notebook. I personally haven't seen a modern bandage that heals wounds faster and better than this.
And I'll also show you the strange reason why putting a leaf of this plant in your shoes in the morning is as good as a cold shower and a cup of coffee.
- A similar weed, called Woolly Lamb's Ear, can be added to the frontier poultice to stop the bleeding in a matter of seconds.
This plant is high in Vitamin K, the vitamin that coagulates the blood. It is the powdered vitamin that was given to soldiers in WWII to pour over their wounds if they were shot. My grandfather used it when the bandages ran out and his brothers in arms were bleeding to death. I hope you never find yourself looking down at a wound that just won't stop bleeding, but if you do, be sure the frontier poultice is your best shot-other than being in the ICU. And if you or a loved one has diabetes or problems with coagulation or wound healing, make sure you have this healing cataplasm around your home without delay.
- No matter where you live in America, there's a source of water nearby. And when there's water, there are... cattails.
If you find cattails, you'll have all the things needed for survival: water, food, shelter, and fuel.
You probably already know cattails are edible, but I doubt you know how tasty they are. I'll show you how I cook them in the field and at home and how to turn them into flour.
But probably the most important and least known thing about cattails is the jelly-like substance that grows between its leaves.
My grandfather prescribed it for most severe skin infections. And let me tell you, it's nothing short of a miracle. I've seen abscesses the size of a plate healing in just days. This gel is also one of the best cures for nail and foot fungus.
On a different note, this gel is the only part of the cattail that is widely considered to not be edible. It's not poisonous... so why isn't it edible?
Well, because it has a powerful numbing effect on moist tissues. It has even been used as a Novocaine substitute. Yes, it's an anesthetic that you can use in many, many situations. When the pioneers were hit with a ravaging toothache, they would just go get their jar of cattail ooze and rub it around their gums. The pain would subside in minutes.
Another part of The Lost Book of Remedies comprises all the medicinal and edible trees in North America.
- One of the things you'll find here is the ultimate survival tree that grows on almost every street in the U.S. I call it that because you can use the sap as medicine, its flowers as sleeping pills, its leaves as food, and the inner bark as cordage.
You don't need much more than this to stay alive. But only a handful of people still know this lost skill. So, if you're an old-timer like me or my grandfather, get ready to use this knowledge for its full potential.
- Do you recognize this tree?
You might even have scraped yourself on one of its thorns as a child.
The Native Americans would cook its honey-sweet pods and eat them. The sharp young spines were used as pins, nails, spear points, and animal traps during the Civil War, when the South suffered many shortages.
According to a recent medical study at Michigan State University, the flowers of this tree strongly prevent the spread and growth of prostate, breast, colon, and lung tumors.
You'll find all of these things in The Lost Book of Remedies.
Really, there's too much to say here. There are hundreds of plants you'll find in my grandfather's book, and you'll learn how to turn them into powerful cures.
Medicines in the past ALL originated from plants, until companies started making synthetic versions. This forgotten wisdom should be brought back. Today is your chance to play a role in doing that by putting The Lost Book of Remedies where it belongs: on your bookshelf or in your medicine cabinet.
Finally, in the last chapter of The Lost Book of Remedies...
...you'll find the once common treatments our grandparents used whenever they were ill.
These are the cures of my childhood and, if you've been here a while, maybe yours as well.
I'm talking about the common folk remedies they used to bring down fever, cure a sore throat, banish the flu, and many, many more. They used only common household items that you probably have in your cupboard right this second...
- ...like the spice you add to your meals that can stop bleeding in just a matter of seconds.
- You'll also discover the one substance you probably overlooked and should add to your medicinal kit or stockpile. This detoxifying agent kills parasites and viruses in the digestive tract.
- Or the common household "stain buster" that can clear away most fungus and bacterial skin infections. But you can also use it to disinfect huge quantities of water, even a well. It's much better than bleach, which leaves an odor for weeks.
As I've told you before, this is just a small glimpse of what you'll find in The Lost Book of Remedies. My grandfather's lifetime work is captured inside, but it's not just that. It's your grandparents' work too... and the generation before them.
Over hundreds of years, they conducted the longest, largest, and most honest clinical trial ever.
It's one that pharmaceutical companies' self-funded clinical trials rarely match. With big money on the line, they need these trials to validate their drugs. That's why many pills on the market today have a minimal effect or no effect at all.
If you get The Lost Book of Remedies today, you'll also be able to take advantage of two exclusive gifts that will be off the table soon.
The first report you'll get is The 72 Square-Feet Medicinal Garden in Your Back Yard.
Wouldn't it be nice to walk out into your back yard and find the medicine you need growing right there?
If you think about it, 72 square feet is a very small piece of land; it's only 12 feet by 6 feet (3m x 2.2m). So no matter how small your backyard is, you can grow your own natural remedies there.
I'll show you how to make a raised garden bed just like mine with the most effective medicinal plants you need as well as how to plant and harvest them.
You'll have the ingredients for my grandfather's remedies within reach, so your medicinal garden will stand toe to toe with any conventional pharmacy.
The second report you'll get is called Disaster Medicine: A Handbook for When Help Is NOT on the Way.
In a cataclysmic crisis, you can bet help is not coming from anyone but yourself. In this bonus, you'll find the 20 most common infections and diseases you could catch during a crisis, and you'll learn how to diagnose and how to treat them
In a crisis, they'll account for more than 95% of medical fatalities. And all that is just scratching the surface of what this bonus has in store for you.
