Dr. Kirschner devoted four chapters in his book to comfrey. He says it's great for lung and bronchial problems, skin and stomach ulcers, arthritis, skin cancer, tuberculosis, asthma, and even works as a beauty aid.

Comfrey is very rich in chlorophyll ("green magic"), one reason why Dr. Kirschner used it in his green drink. After all, the only difference between chlorophyll and our blood is that our blood molecule is built around an iron atom and the chlorophyll molecule is built around a magnesium atom.

Personally, I think it is one of our greatest herbs. I've seen it work miracles. Too bad we don't use it more often. Why not grow some?

When I was studying with local physician Dr. Christopher, he told us a story everyone would like to hear, especially in this flu season.

He said while giving a lecture in Snowflake, Arizona, the conversation turned to various contagious illnesses. Someone asked if he had a plague remedy. Puzzled, he said no. No one had ever asked for a plague remedy before. Then someone asked what they could do in case there was a plague. Dr. Christopher said he stopped talking for a minute, thought of some good immune system-boosting ingredients, then dictated a formula to the class that could be used in case of a plague. They then went on to discuss the ingredients of the formula.

The most active ingredient in the formula is garlic. It will kill germs upon contact. When garlic was tested against three of the best antibiotic drugs on the market, garlic proved to kill all types of germs faster than the drugs. Garlic has many healing properties also. This is why garlic is the leading herb in my herbal antibiotic formula. A great many books have been written on garlic both as a food and as a medicine.

The next ingredient is apple cider vinegar. Vinegar is a catalyst and a carrying agent that also has antibiotic properties. According to D.C. Jarvis, M.D., in his book Folk Medicine (Fawcett Crest, 1958), vinegar is the most healing and stabilizing medicine you can use.

Glycerin is used because it is a demulcent and is so healing.

Honey is an emollient and a great infection fighter. It is healing and great for preventing scars.

Comfrey is one of the greatest healing herbs we know of. This is because of the allantoin in it (a cell proliferative that makes the cells grow faster so you can heal easier).

Wormwood relieves pain and kills parasites and pinworms. Parasites cause a lot of sickness and stress within the body.

Lobelia is one of the greatest catalytic herbs that there is. It has the power to draw all the herbs together to work as one.

Marshmallow root helps the kidneys to get rid of toxins and it fights against gangrene. It is also an emollient or a softener.

Oak bark is a tonic and helps to build the cells. It also helps to rebuild and feed the circulatory system.
