Within the botanical plants of nature lie
alkaloids proven to be of great medicinal value in treating many diseases suffered by mankind. Malaria, skin disorders, chronic pain, sore throat, fever and other disorders are but a few examples.
Discoria Villosa Casia Wislizenii Digitalis
Asima Triloba Taxus Brevifolia Podophyllion Peltatum
Discoria Villosa
Dioscorea (wild yam) provides diosgenin where we get all contraceptive agents
concerned with preventing an ovum from descending.
Casia Wislizenii
The Cassia species has laxative agents.
Digitalis
Digitalis gives us a cardiotonic agent to treat heart failure. Also used
to treat gonorrhea, many have used it with good effect for pneumonia.
Asima Triloba
The papaw, (Asimina triloba) is a small remedy used for
diarrhea, sore throats and high fever.
Taxus Brevifolia
Taxus brevifolia is effective against ovarian
cancer. The remedy (Taxus baccata) has shown
to be useful in gout and as a possible
substitute for Digitalis.
Podophylliom Peltatum
Podophyllum peltatum is used to combat
leukemia, lymphoma, lung, and testicular
cancer. Indians used the root to expel
worms and cure deafness.
In addition to these the essence and oils of flowers also have medicinal qualities as researched by Dr. Judy Griffin at website below:
And perhaps the most controversial and misunderstood homeopathic plant of all........

Americas War on Drugs
After nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs with over a trillion tax dollars and 37 million arrests for nonviolent drug offenses, our confined population has quadrupled making building prisons the fastest growing industry in the United States. More than 2.2 million of our citizens are currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional 1.9 million more guaranteeing those prisons will be bursting at their seams. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, today illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before. We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition of a failed public policy. This madness must cease! The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy reducing crime, drug addiction and juvenile drug use have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs".
And now research scientists tell us Cannabis is a homeopathic plant with effective medicinal value in the treatment of close to 200 ailments. In fact, recent research has been able to show that specific strains of Cannabis are more effective than others when prescribed for a particular ailment. If you feel that Cannabis should be a consideration in your choice of medication there are seminars being conducted to educate the uninformed.
Our seminars are held at strategically located hotel conference rooms throughout California.

Or if you live outside of California and in a state that allows cultivation of medicinal cannabis you can preview our soon to be released publication " It's Just a Weed ".
A no nonsense easy to understand book on growing medicinal marijuana.
Having always been an optimist I feel confident we will see the legalization of cannabis here in California for recreational use in November 2010. In preparing for this event we have been seeking out a location in the Sierra foothills where the locals are artisans and the towns support the arts and crafts people in the area. If there was ever a good time to invest in a few acres and begin a coffee house with panache this would be it.
An interesting possibility near Nevada City A few modifications and we have Espresso,
60's music and other "High End " goodies.

Point of Interest
After the passage of the medical marijuana legislation proposition 215 in California the American "drug czar" and retired General Barry McCaffrey declared that there was "not one shred of evidence" that marijuana had medical uses and denounced it as "Cheech and Chong medicine", after a marijuana-using team of comedians.
General McCaffrey then made the fatal mistake of ordering a study from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the Academy of Sciences. For about $900,000 it was to determine the facts by review existing literature and talking to patients and doctors to determine what is known about marijuana as a medicine. The study was finally released on March 17, 1999. It confirmed that:
Marijuana has some well established medical uses,
It does not lead to harder drugs (gateway or stepping stone theory)
It's addiction potential is not very serious and
It's side effects are within the range tolerated for other legal medicines.
