I was not criticizing the craft or the person performing the craft. Just sometimes sick people want more than boil the water and seep this herb for ten minutes, cool and drink three times a day. If it sounded like I was criticizing anyone I'm sorry that you took it that way, it was not meant that way. I believe in my granny's craft. I only wish that I could have learned from her.

Hey, Whitewolf & all! Many of our indigenous ancestors learned & practiced herbal medicine. The Maya people still do so...had the honoured experience of first hand use & observation about a year ago in Belize. They can cure almost anything by the use of growing things in their tropical rain forest. Mike, IBSSG ----- Original Message ----- From: "A. L.
