Those dandelions are heroes!!

Amazing. Now we know why monsanto went after the dandelions:
"Just one leaf of this herb, found in every garden, can save your life in a minute, but only some people know how to use it!
It kills up to 96% of leukemia cells in just 48 hours!
Nature itself has many effective health remedies. You may not know the presence of many effective plants, but in fact, they are located right in your garden.
When it comes to leukemia, many of us are the first to equip ourselves with medication, chemotherapy, poor quality of life and overall misery.
Here’s all the info you need to know about the roots (and leaves) of a dandelion and what it can do for people battling leukemia.
Recent studies have shown that the dandelion root is cytotoxic against three types of human leukemia cells and it destroys up to 96% of cells in just 48 hours!
Dandelion tea affects cancer cells by breaking down within 48 hours and stimulating the growth of new healthy cells in the patient's body.
The study was conducted by Dr. Hamm with his students.
They removed blood cells from 9 different patients who used root extract and applied it to several cells to cultivate them. Within 24 hours, the cells were killed.
There have also been a number of other studies to find that dandelion extract can have potentially effective substances against cancer, melanomas and prostate and breast cancer.
Other properties of dandelion root/leaves...
Dandelion root/leaf extract has been used for centuries as an effective healing agent in traditional folk medicine.
Anemia...
Dandelions have a fairly high content of iron, vitamins and proteins. While iron is a part of hemoglobin in the blood, vitamins like vitamin B and proteins are important for the formation of red blood cells and some other blood components. A dandelion can help with anemia.
Strong bones...
Dandelion is rich in calcium, which is essential for bone growth and strength, and is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and luteolin, which protect bones from age-related damage.
Diabetes ...
Dandelion juice can help diabetics by stimulating the production of insulin from the pancreas.
Prevents urinary tract infection...
Dandelion can help prevent urinary tract infections, as well as bladder and kidney disorders, or even cysts on the reproductive organs.
Cleanses the liver ...
Vitamins and nutrients contained in the dandelion help to clean the liver and ensure their proper function. Dandelions help our digestive system by maintaining proper bile flow. Dandelion is also rich in vitamin C, reduces inflammation and prevents disease.
Digestion Assistance...
Dandelion acts as a mild food that promotes digestion, encourages appetite and balances natural and beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
Skin care . . .
Dandelion juice is also used to treat skin diseases caused by microbial and fungal infections. The juice is highly alkaline and has insecticidal, bactericidal and fungicidal effects.
This juice can be used for itching, shingles, eczema, etc."

We toss out sooo much that we pay for that can be used in other ways in our home. This one is a keeper.

I make large batches of hamburger meat for spaghetti, tacos, etc., and I never throw away the grease anymore. Instead, I turn it into a clean, usable fat that replaces Crisco in my kitchen.

Here’s exactly how I do it:

After cooking, drain the grease into a bowl and put it in the fridge overnight. The gelatin (broth) will separate on the bottom. I scoop that out and feed it to the dogs.
The hardened grease on top goes into the freezer until I have about 2–3 pounds saved up.
When I’m ready, I put a good amount of water in a large stock pot and bring it to a boil. Add the frozen grease chunks.
Take the pot off the heat and let everything cool, then place it back in the fridge overnight so the fat hardens again.
In the morning, pour off the water and scrape away any sediment from the top and bottom of the grease block.
Put the clean grease back into the pot on medium heat. Let it cook until all the remaining water is gone (you’ll hear it popping and crackling). Once it stops popping, it’s ready.
Pour the hot grease into clean jars and let it cool. It will harden as it sits.

I now use this instead of buying Crisco. It’s perfect for frying, baking, and seasoning cast iron pans. Nothing is wasted!

For our friends who suffer from Lyme disease.....

https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZkGbD6mTr/

THE SWEET TROJAN HORSE 🌿🦠

You have joint pain that migrates throughout your body. You suffer from crushing brain fog, chronic fatigue, and perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic Lyme disease.
You are prescribed massive rounds of strong antibiotics (like doxycycline). You feel better for a month—then the illness returns twice as strong.

Antibiotics are failing for a mechanical reason. The bacterium that causes Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) is a biological genius.
When it detects pharmaceutical antibiotics in your bloodstream, it goes into panic mode. It literally changes form and wraps itself in a thick, rock-hard gray slime layer called a biofilm.

The antibiotic bounces off this cement-like shield. The bacteria sleep safely inside until you stop taking the pills—then they re-emerge to infect your joints and brain again.

To truly heal, you would need a compound capable of dissolving that “cement” while killing the bacteria at the same time. Science has identified this biofilm disruptor hiding in plain sight—in a common kitchen sweetener: the stevia leaf.

The Botanical Explosive

Researchers from the University of New Haven’s Department of Biology published a study that shook the medical world.
They tested whole-leaf stevia extract against the Lyme disease bacterium and compared it directly with some of the strongest hospital antibiotics.

The result appeared remarkable. Antibiotics were unable to kill bacteria hidden within biofilm shields. But liquid stevia extract showed the ability to significantly reduce those bacterial forms in laboratory conditions.

The plant’s phytochemicals acted like a biofilm disruptor—breaking down protective layers, exposing the spiral-shaped bacteria, and making them more vulnerable. It demonstrated activity against multiple morphological forms of the bacteria in vitro, without the same impact on gut flora seen with antibiotics.

⚡ Vitalizate Protocol

The Lyme Solvent:
The white, processed stevia powder from the supermarket won’t work. That’s just an isolated sweetening compound (rebaudioside). You need the whole plant extract.

The Raw Form:
You should use whole-leaf stevia liquid extract. It should be dark green or brown—NOT clear—because you need the plant’s full profile (tannins, flavonoids, and volatile oils).

The Vehicle:
Add 15–30 drops of this dark, sweet extract to a glass of water or tea, 2–3 times per day before meals.

The Cleanse:
Consistent use may help disrupt protective biofilms and support the body’s natural balance, potentially easing chronic inflammatory discomfort.

⚠️ Note: The original text makes strong therapeutic claims. Current scientific evidence is primarily limited to laboratory (in vitro) studies, and stevia extract is not an established medical treatment for Lyme disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before changing treatment.
