MULLEIN HELPS MAN AND ANIMAL

Forest fires south and west of Vernon have been 85 per cent contained with the help of diligent workers from Alberta. More than 20,000 people had been evacuated to Vernon but now have permission to return to their homes as the fires move north. Heat records are still being broken in this area and people are being advised to stay indoors unless it is absolutely necessary to go outside. Road workers should apply sunscreen every two hours (to avoid sunburn that could lead to skin cancer.) Drinking plenty of water is important, especially for those working on the highways.

A letter to the editor of Venture Inward tells of an experiment with the tall Mullein plant that has a sheaf of small yellow flowers at the top. See “The Herb Book by John Lust,” available at your Library. Edgar Cayce - fondly remembered as “The sleeping Prophet,” had recommended it for treating melanoma. A reader from Hunt, Maryland, tells of an experience that helped both man and animal. “An older friend in his 60’s had been diagnosed with skin cancer on his nose, and surgery was set for six weeks in the future. I read the article to him on the phone. He immediately went to his health food store and started using mullein daily. Six weeks later and time for his surgery, they found him to be free of skin cancer.

But something else happened. I thought about my sweet ancient female cat who had an inoperable tumor in her right nasal passage for two years and the last 6 months had a discharge that made it difficult to breathe. Still with a quality of life, affectionate, and eating well I decided to try Mullein on her. I gave her 3-4 drops twice a day in a feeding system with a little water. Almost immediately the nasal discharge ceased and easier breathing ensued. She still has the tumor but has improved quality of life and now runs around chasing her toys.”
