bn5 Self awareness to go see a psychaitrist, you no doubt can give a chemical breakdown on the ssri's that also can be explained in similiar detail to your cure for asthma. No there not my herbs, although will have my mullein plant in bloom soon, very good for asthma by the way. I agree as I.ve said in early posting physical and psycological cannot be seperated in any illness, to recognise how you feel mentally and what it is doing to you physically does not make the illness not real.

Psychological factors, if you read my posts properly, I have agreed on in the context of psycholgical components of illness and the wider concept of hollistic care - but a calming chat and a mullein plant will do dick all for status asthmaticus. a time and a place.


And the BNF remark - seriously? Now I remember why I can't have a sensible discussion on this topic - those in the other corner aren't up to it.


BN5 out.

I just read the wikipedia page on homeopathy.


The guy who invented it noticed that the bark used to treat malaria gave the same symptoms as malaria, so concluded that all treatments need to be based on the same symptoms as the disease they were seeking to cure - that was an extensive study!


Then he decided that the best treatment was to dilute these ingredients by as much as the equivalent of a pinch of salt in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans - so now they don't produce the same symptoms as anything.


I can't believe anyone actually believes something so illogical could actually cure anything and even more astonishingly expects the NHS to include this sh!t in their funding.


I was unaware until just now exactly how diluted these stupid cures are - to have something with no active molecules of anything in it and call it a cure should be prosecutable under some knd of trade description or advertising standards Act!


Fools and their money, easily parted!

Just in case anyone is thinking of following BigPhil's medical advice, it's worth knowing that the doses given on the box of paracetamol are not there just to annoy or decorate the box, but because they are the maximum safe amounts to take over 24 hours. The lowest potentially fatal dose of paracetamol is only 150mg/kg body weight over 24 hours if you're completely fit and well, or half that (75mg/kg) if you take certain medications or drink alcohol regularly. In addition, staggered overdose, where the pills are taken over a period of time not all at once, can be more dangerous.


The most common reason for liver transplant in this country now is paracetamol overdose (take a moment to digest that fact, it's a shocker) and some of those overdoses were accidental, people who thought it was ok to ignore what it said on the packet.


Also, there is no medical evidence that higher doses of paracetamol give better pain relief. Quite the opposite in fact, high doses of paracetamol can cause headaches and nausea.


Sometimes safety warnings are there, you know, for you safety.

Hi PeckhamRose,


-What she did not explain, however, is how animals benefit from homeopathy.

-Which, apparently, they do.

-Heard several stories from farmers who use it on sheep and cows.


The answer is in your question, "apparently they do"..... and "I've heard stories"


remember that we are animals too!

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
