Re: Uny, about the lobelia......

I was thinking about your post and realized that you said you buy pellets from a health food store, I guess you're talking about Lobelia pellets, I've never heard of Lobelia pellets.

I wanted to let you know in case you weren't aware that when you buy 'herbs' in a health food store you aren't getting what we call herbs.  We promote only organically grown or wildcrafted herbs, the highest quality available.  Uny made a post about non organic herbs I've pasted below.  I just want to add that a bottle of tablets in a health food store that is sold as an 'herb' is full of fillers and binders and any number of things you don't want to ingest, not to mention that the tiny portion of any 'herb' that the tablet might contain was probably not organically grown and is toxic.

If the pellets you're talking about are Lobelia, put one on your tongue, it should make your tongue feel really scratchy.  If it doesn't then it's not Lobelia in it's pure form.  Uny's Lobelia tincture if put directly on your tongue will feel really scratchy because 1) the highest quality organic Lobelia is used and 2) it's been tinctured in vodka and ACV to bring out all the qualities of the herb.  

Here is what Uny says about toxic herbs.

Non organic herbs =

--50-100% less "strength" than a properly grown herb
--pesticide/herbicide content, including DDT and many others so toxic not even allowed in this country (95% of all non-organic herbs are grown in third-world countries), not to mention using human/animal sewage sludge for fertilizers
--if irradiated (many are), then there's mutation within the herb. When the irradiation blends with the pesticides, creates a new toxic substance known as unique radiolytic products (URPs)

Here is how Uny makes her Lobelia tincture.

I did something a bit different from 'typical' with this one (since some parts of the Lobelia are solvent in vinegar, some in alcohol). Instead of mixing the alcohol & vinegar together and adding the Lobelia to that, I tinctured half of the Lobelia in only vinegar (organic, raw apple cider vinegar, of course:), and half in only 100 proof alcohol. Then after two weeks (and MUCH shaking of each), I mixed the two together (and macerated it all to a pulp in the Vitamix) and gave it another two weeks with the alcohol/vinegar mix. 

I said to myself: "Hmmm, *xyz* of the Lobelia needs vinegar as a solvent, but adding 50% alcohol to the vinegar right off the bat would mean that *xyz* is never getting FULL strength vinegar (and vice-versa with the *abc* of Lobelia that needs alcohol). So I'll give 'em each 'full strength of what they need', and then mix 'em together to get the remaining goodies out of each part".

The final tincture? WOW!! (and wow! again). Methinks the girl picked a winner! I've taste-tested it against the only Lobelia tincture I have (from Health Freedom Resources, which makes the 'Schulze equivalent' from his instructions/manual), and this seems to be (conservative estimate) possibly 3-5 stronger.  curezone.com/forums/fm.asp

LOBELIA by itself is an ultra-effective herbs for any kind of "lung tightness", constriction and breathing difficulty. It will stop the WORSE of asthma attacks (sometimes within seconds), it opens/relaxes the bronchial tubes, and has a very soft (but immediate) relaxing effect on the emotions. (Perfect for breathing issues - because our own anxiety/stress over not being able to breath, always worsens the original 'attack'). It also stops seizures and spams all over the body.
