Hmmm... Fungus and More Re: Black walnut question
A search under the words "Black Walnut Iodine" turns up LOTs of pages. I looked at several.
Many appear to be quoting from the same source (or maybe plagiarizing one another) -- maybe one of those Internet Myths.
Dr. Schulze did claim it contained or "was a source for" an organic form of Iodine. This was either in the Sam book or on one of his audio-video offerings. I recall this was in regard to people being too picky about the "rocket science" aspect of herbal use (what's the proper time to pick it). He said the green ones might have been more potent, but the black, old goopy hulls from under the snow worked just fine on those race horses w/ringworm.
Another possible use of the
Black-Walnut Tree: Leaves said to repel fleas and used as an insecticide against
Bed Bugs. Ground up husks also an insecticide (or so the Internet has it).
Given the many
highly toxic chemicals you'd usually use for insecticidal purposes,
Black-Walnut is worth looking into.
People are going to need an herbal solution to the bed bug problem in the coming years.
I wonder if the BW leaves kill the bugs, or merely repel them. An experiment would be in order here. I happen to know people connected with a bed bug unit for our county -- possibly a ready source of the pesky critters, which very likely carry small pox (once infected), if you believe the words of Dr. Charles Campbell of San Antonio, Texas (1865 - 1931). Campbell also learned that people who receive proper nutrition are, to a great extent, immune to the terrible scarring and pock marking caused by the disease.
If all of the above and much, much more is new to you, "thank" the Rothschild-Rockefeller Axis of Evil.
