:idea:Hi Matthew,
That was a very good post! Im a master herbalist, and I warn people about these plants. There are others. Dont forget Loco Weed.

I'm growing castor beans right now, because of their giant, showy foliage and interesting color.

What are Rosary Peas? Are they the beautiful and amazing blue and green Rosary-sized berries which grow on vines?

It is interesting how God made some plants and animals poisonous but extremely gorgeous. Those brilliant little poison frogs!

I'm going to go look up pictures of these plants. Besides being a lovely soul, it is fabulous to have Emerentiana, a master herbalist here! :cheers:

Thanks, Elizabeth,
Rosary peas, I think are Job's tears

Elizabeth your words are too true. God always provides our help (ers). You see I am in such a tizzy caring for my husband. Thought each time he sees a doctor they give at least one new drug or increase his dosages. This is for an enlarged heart. But, boy, when the doctor saw that I had him on Hawthorne, CoQ10, Magnesium and other herbs and vitamins she said STOP! Even garlic is on her no list. They drive you insane.

Dawn,
If your husband has an enlarged heart, you are using the right herbs. Dont give hawthorne berry to him if hes taking Lanoxin

He is not. Funny thing, I stopped all the supplements I was giving him on Saturday due to these warnings. Today he said I want to start them again as I my body feels sick not taking my herbs and vitamins.
These doctors like to scare you so you can not even think for yourself.

But scaring us isn't enough, now they're making sure we have no access to them. I will remember these scare tactics when I see the eye surgeon this morning. I'm asking Mary to make the decisions.

Trinity, your eyes are in my prayers. I had radical eye surgury-I understand.

In fact, today is a big day of prayer. I never have prayed enough.

Apples: Apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides. If you eat enough of the seeds, you could very well die, according to this Mother Nature article.

it's a good thing I take it away before I eat apples!
