Native American Herbs.

As we enter this fall season, we are experiencing
more mold growth from the
accumulating foliage, stagnant air from transitioning
indoors, not getting as
much sun exposure and
consuming a diet of less
fresh seasonal fruits and
vegetables. With this in
mind, this inclusion of
some herbs to help stimulate the bodies immune
system may be in order.
Instead of covering a host
of standard Western herbs,
I figured it might be a bit
more interesting to cover
some of the herbs that the
Native Americans in North
America used for health
and healing. Lets face it,
the indigenous people did
not have access to Nyquil
as it never hit the market
until 1966, or Tylenol as it
ever arrived on the scent

untill 1955 or Benadryl as

it never showed up till
1946. So, what was used?
Perhaps a simple walk in
the fields and forests would
provide an answer.

bone issues as well as

Aspen: the inner bark used

Brain Immunity continued from page 3.

The UVA report indicates that the brain
is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to
exist. That such vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic
system had been so thoroughly
mapped through the body is surprising on its own, but the true significance of this discovery lies in the
effects it could have on the study
and treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer's disease to multiple sclerosis. It changes entirely the way we
perceive the neuro-immune interaction. Instead of asking, How do
we study the immune response of
the brain? Why do multiple sclerosis patients have immune attacks? now we can approach this
mechanically. Because the brain is
like every other tissue connected to
the peripheral immune system
through meningeal lymphatic vessels.
When we look at one of the most

material to promote proper immunity, stimulate the cells to do proper

way. Perhaps, it is time the blinders
were removed and people stated to

the body to work as it should without the toxic overloads.
