Herbal Medicine is Important.

Hi Friends,
     Most of my readers know that I am a self taught herbalist for the past 50 years, yet always learning new things.  Sorry to say that the 'mighty doctors' are not as clean and pure as the drivin' snow... LOL.   Too many times the truth is not found in them, and I have been lied to many times by the medical 'profession,' to that I chose to learn more on my own, and sort of been a speed reader, and know how to just look things up.  And I don't expect to live forever on earth but I am a Believer in the KJV Bible and the promises of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.... and totally unashamed of that fact! 
      I am still hurting and suffer from the messed up VA surgery at the hands of the Milwaukee, WI, VAMC about 12 years ago, and count myself blessed [I don't like the term, "Lucky"] to even survive that ordeal, and torture by the dark staff, especially of the 3rd shift lower class at that facility.  And the term, Prejudice, certainly applies to the black folks that dominate that 2nd and 3rd shift in Milwaukee, WI... those ghetto people!  And I just CANNOT be a prejudice person, being a Christian...  but I must be TRUTHFUL!  They are still crying the blues because they think that they 'have less' than their counterparts who work harder and stay in school longer to get better paying jobs in that city.  I have done my homework, but was still very surprised to get dumped on by all those 'Ghetto Democrats' in that beer town... Ha!  Oh well.  I know that I am repeating myself, but the newer readers need to know, too.   Talk about a 4th Generation Welfare State!  But our larger welfare benefits drew so many ghetto people from the State of Illinois until one of our more Conservative Governors leveled out the playing field one year and stopped the State border jumpers so that they no longer had any incentive for coming so far up North to the great State of Wisconsin which USED TO BE A GREAT STATE to raise your family before the 1960's and '70's.


I honestly think that my knowledge and use of herbal medicine has allowed me to grow older and also help so many other people in so many ways, so that I am age 71 today.   Read and share if you think this has merit ---- as I do.


Warm Regards,
Thomas G Schuckman
