Lobelia

[Guest guest]

Lisa,

 

Thanks so much. I was going to go to the site today to read, but you've save me the trouble! I do believe lobelia will help in the withdrawal symptoms for me. In the past, I've had so much trouble with stress when I stopped smoking. The calming effect is what I'm looking for. I've ordered some lobelia and as soon as I receive it, I'm going to quit smoking.

Irene, this is what Doc has to say about Lobelia.

love

There are two herbal tinctures that you simply must have on hand: Cayenne tincture and Lobelia tincture!!! Cayenne prevents people from fainting or going unconscious, and pulls people out of heart attacks and strokes by dilating blood vessels thereby reducing or eliminating brain damage. Lobelia stops full body spasms (such as seizures resulting from Parkinson's or Epilepsy), asthma attacks, and opens the bronchial tubes to ease breathing. The famous herbalist, Samuel Thompson, used these two herbs more than any others. With these herbs, it is conservatively estimated he helped well over three hundred thousand peopIe recover from their various illnesses. I'll explain more about how he did this in a minute. The medical warnings over supposed "lobelia toxicity" are completely false. There's no real side effects to this unbelievable herb. Lobelia is a brilliant herb, even for kids, as it opens the sinuses and gets them breathing, even when heavily asthmatic. I used it on our, Bryan, when he was stung by a Stingray and it calmed him down in a few seconds.

 

I would guess that very few of you have ever thought much about the subject of throwing up, vomiting, heaving, puking or whatever you wish to call it. Revolting subjects like this do not usually get much attention or discussion. However, besides the positive effect of the body ejecting something from the stomach that it wishes to get rid of for whatever reason including food poisoning, there are other positive effects created that I'd like to explain to you. When your stomach contracts to squeeze its contents out, this puts pressure on the lungs and squeezes them as well and can help them get rid of any unwanted fluids, phlegm and even tumors. Furthermore, the body's ability to vomit creates strong vibrations in the surrounding glands and these low level pulsations are extremely beneficial to the healthy operation and well being of these organs.

 

Guess what? Lobelia in a large enough dose will cause this vomiting. Lobelia has a substance in it called Lobeline that first dilates the bronchial tubes and relaxes the body. In larger doses it stimulates the 10th cranial nerve, the Vagus, to such a degree that you vomit. The lungs get squeezed and compressed, and any fluid in them comes out with the vomit. What we're doing here is creating a purge to really clean out the lungs for people who have severe lung problems. Everyone has a different tolerance level to Lobelia and different amounts they would need to take to cause this vomiting effect. So Samuel Thompson would determine how much Lobelia a patient needed to take and then start in on his procedure that he called "Purge and Puke”. After this was accomplished, he would then give them Cayenne to bring them back to the planet. Some people might think this sounds very uncomfortable and radical as an emergency procedure, however compare and consider the medical alternative of cutting a 4 inch incision through your side and inserting a tube into your lungs to drain the fluid out. I think I'd prefer using the Lobelia.

 

Can you imagine healing over three hundred thousand people of many different diseases using mainly these two herbs?? This is a marvelous herb and should be in every First-Aid kit without fail.
