Lately I have been seeing people presenting with fatigue, muscle wasting and general weakness. They have a common thread of being vegan/vegetarian. They also work, some have children, have the usual busy lives and are aneamic. Getting enough nutrients is nigh on impossible if one works or has a physical job. One needs to graze all day to get enough nutrients by eating vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains and constantly make up this shortfall. Eating bread and pasta does not cut it and many people are not good with flour and processed carbohydrates in general. Also, there are many vegan options in the supermarket these day like facon and vegie burgers which again are highly processed with added chemicals. Stick to natural foods. These are termed as 2nd class proteins as they are not as high as meat, Unfortunately for vegan/vegetarians, we are omniviours, we need these 1st class proteins as this is our makeup. Even at least once a week have an amount of organic meat to make up the shortfall. Love your love of animals, but if you are suffering heart failure that is not good for you as an animal.

My lime blossom is about to burst, so come on up a ladder (supplied) and help yourself straight from the tree. A pleasant tea on its own as well as being very useful for calming stress and anxiety. (Don't we all need that!) Also I have some pokeroot plants to give away. (excellent lymphatic) Pick or pick up from Northcote.

Zurich, yes l know, another awesome botanical garden, but it was. Great diversity and labelling (even in German). All areas from around the planet with excellent hot houses. Good medical, culinary, dyeing and agriculture herbs and their uses. This was the new garden (they have two BGs) with the old gardens closer to town being pretty good too with views over the city. Well worth being here.

Gingko biloba. Originally from China with only the fruit used in TCM. Western medicine has found the leaves a circulatory enhancer making it valuable for many conditions that have capillaries involved like dementia, heart, kidney and liver insufficiency. Much research has shown that Gingko reduces agitation and improves cognitive dementia function. The fruit only forms on the female tree which when ripe exudes a vomit like smell that can permeate everything. The female tree in the Amiens Botanic Gardens was at least 10 metres high so l told my husband that ours was the smaller male.

The best botanic garden is in Amiens: France, beds of herbs in their symptom categories making it very understandable even in French. There was also beds with sections on agriculture, cereals, dyeing and fabrics (l did note there was no h**p) making it well worth the visit especially with a baguette and beer.

Sage: Salvia off. A great herb to have in the garden, both for culinary for anything savoury especially with pork and potatoes, as well as medicinal. For digestive and chest issues but sage’s main use is as a hormonal balancing agent to reduce hot flushes/flashes with menopause. Pictured is the usual sage with purple sage.

Lovely BG at Edgbaston Good hot house and pollinator plants. Pleasant diversion from the still depressed city.

The first botanical garden in the UK: Oxford University for the study of medicinal plants. A fairly small area but chockers with well labeled sections and plants including a heated area for those carnivorous plants, waterlilies, cactus and coffee. Well worth a trip to Oxford and you could throw in afew old buildings and pubs.

Happened upon this wall of weeds while walking to Greyfriars and the Thames. Instead of a lawn, at least 40 weeds have been vertically planted into an irrigated mat of about 100 metres long. All of these weeds are medicinal and some like the dock and sorrel could be eaten. Also added pictures on the wall of the Botanica pub, nice beers too.

Following on from the placebo being better for you than aspirin, it has been brought to my attention that there is even university divisions that study/does research on the effects of placebo. One Prof said that he was given Vitamin C for a cold from a caring friend and within two days he was fine and dandy, but that could have been placebo. I wonder if he had ever heard of scurvy or even knew that Vitamin C was essential for all cell functioning, but hay, it would have to be placebo. I challenge anyone to throw any vitamin, mineral, herbs and natural products at me to say they are just placebo. (I will resist banging on about toxic big pharma medicines with all their side effects) And anyway, if you believe that the medicine is just placebo when a caring friend is concerned for you, then you are a stone.

A recent research has shown that Aspirin compared to placebo has more bleeding occurances like bowel & stroke. Not sure why they did not read the side effects as this is well known because not only does it thin the blood like all anticoagulants, but thins out the skin layers of all body systems causing many more problems. Lots of natural products like fish oil actually improve cell integrity amoung other beneficial support; such as turmeric, magnesium, flax seed, EPO, gingko biloba & hawthorn which also improves heart and circulatory function overall. So help your health with natural products and not toxic synthetic drugs. Pic of hawthorn, turmeric, evening primrose, and the last photo is a lovely lady who's Dr insisted on her taking anticoagulants that caused spontaneous bleeds like this whole shoulder until she finally had a huge bleed.
