I was hoping for some recipes for greens. I am allergic to eggs and also don’t like to eat
wheat for breakfast. I would like to know some different ways to cook/eat greens for breakfast.

Here’s a real good one. I used a product that I got in Hawaii. It is called… get this… Maui Aui. It has Aloe, Caledula for the skin and white willow for the pain and st. john’s wort for the itch. It’s great through the hurting,itching pealing phases and I think it made me heal faster. It sure made things feel better. It wasn’t very expensive, $8 or $9 if remember correctly and it was WELL worth it. There was no phone number on it but the company name says Nature’s Rite. This stuff is like Natural Solarcaine. with aloe and skin regenerator. It’s really cool.

Yes, I’m aware of the damp tea bag treatment–and it is the tannic acid in tea that makes that work. However, tea does stain clothing, drip on carpets & bedding & such. That’s the reason I chose to mention using vinegar, which is acetic acid. It has the same effect without having to mess around with tea bags and staining potential. The skin has a natural “protective acid mantle.” I believe this is why acid treatments tend to help heal skin problems.

Comfrey is a wonderful healer for many things. It’s had bit of a bad rap for internal use in recent years, though people have successfully used it internally for ages as a tea of the leaf or root or leaf. You’re lucky to have a plant. Comfrey makes a wonderful poultice.

Glad you like the blog. I’ll try to be better about writing more frequently.

Damp tea bags are good for burn sites, too, and since you had to brew the tea, a tasty way to sit still and rest while they work. If you have a big burn, make a tea bath. It doesn’t have to be fancy tea – cheap Red Rose or Lipton has all the tannic acid needed.

I did not realize comfrey was good for burns, too. I have a big plant (needn’t have worried about it last winter) and wondered what else to do with it.

I’m liking the healthy options blog – glad you started it!

What a pleasure it has been for the last two weeks in the Heartland….just 30 miles west of St. Louis in O’Fallon, Missouri. I appreciate the sunburn advice but with 80 degree high’s and 60’s at night we are enjoying this wonderful break from the typical midwest heat. I will pass you site on to my Florida family. Thanks Dr. Casey!

I'd recommend Blue Lizard Sunscreen because it is fragrance free and should work for even chemically sensitive individuals.

Hello in Florida! Hope it is cooler there than it is in Orygun today! Thanks for your comment. ‘Tis definitely the season for poisonous plants to spread misery to the unsuspecting simply enjoying summer. My reward is helping people feel better naturally. In my opinion natural remedies work SO much better than pharmaceutical interventions and do not create side effects that can ruin peoples’ health for the rest of their lives. Take care, be well!
