Herbal Medicine for Preppers: What the heck is happening in Moore County, NC? and Milk Thistle

Hey, y'all, welcome to this week's show. We're going to talk about one of the most important herbs really of all today and smolk thistle. Before we do, I was had a little email exchange with James earlier and he is interested in what the heck is going on in Morcane, North Carolina, and I think he's going to do some research and dive in more deeply on this subject next week. So I'd be really excited to see what he comes up with, and you know, maybe we can discuss it a little bit further. Something is going on, and for what James was saying, it's not just happening here, and y'all do need to be aware of it. So okay, So y'all know, I went through a hurricane recently up in the mountains and my home has been unlivable and the state of North Carolina will not let me repair things without their approval because they want to do an environmental review on every single thing that's going on. So I essentially have not had water power heat in my home for about two years now eighteen months and so, but even before that, I was spending a lot of time in Pinehurst, North Carolina due to a family issue, family illness essentially, and more time than I was spending at home. But since the hurricane it's been pretty constant. Not okay, obviously this is not exactly like my ideal environment, but I'll try not saying much bad about the area. Granted, let me put it this way. Pinehurst is like one of the premier retirement and golf communities in the entire United States. There are more retired military officers and millionaires living here than just about anywhere in America per capita, except like the Hampton's, and more military officers here than anywhere. Okay, it's right by Fort Bragg, it's close to Pope. It's you know, the local hospital was funded and essentially founded and funded by Walter Reed Junior. I mean it's you know, you go out on a well, it depends on where you go. If you're a local, you go out to one of the lousy restaurants around here, any overpriced, disgusting food. I mean, seriously, it's all chain restaurants. There's They ran all the privately owned family restaurants out except for like one, and it's it's fairly decent. There's a pretty good Italian place, but then there's like you know, the country club, and there's all these like really expensive restaurants and such. And if you were to go to one of those, or even go to that cool little Italian place that I actually kind of like, there's no telling who you might run into. I mean you could be sitting there and well, literally a couple of years ago before he became president again, Donald Trump might have been sitting at the next table. Yeah, I mean, anything from a congressman to a soon new Gingrich seen him around a few times, movie stars, millionaires, billionaires. I mean seriously, Elon Musk has been through here a few times. It's just like just a really odd area and it's all golf courses and private property. There's nowhere to fish, and there's nowhere to hunt. And unless you are the north end of the county or the west northwest, well different ends of the county, south end actually, and you know somebody has a farm. There's no public land. There's you know, no recreation whatsoever that isn't very expensive and spuried down with pesticides. And I have a lot of issues with this place. The water quality is horrible. In fact, the water is actually radioactive and like literally right on the edge of the town was a Monsanto super fun site that used to make chemical weapons. So they, I mean, they really cover up a lot of things in this area to make sure that the tourism and the millionaires and the summer people and well the winter people. I mean a lot of people winter here, keep coming in, keep spending the money. If something happens here, it really doesn't get reported. And that's I mean, gosh, it's very true. I mean the county is just I don't know, local cop told me there was like four drug overdoses a day. I mean, there's so much drugs in this county. There's so much crime that goes unreported. Parts. I mean you've got the really nice side of Pinehurst and then you've got Southern Pines, Aberdeen and such that are really pretty rough in certain parts. Now, I mean they have there, like Southern Pines is a beautiful downtown and you would go there and you think you're in a resort area, and yeah, I mean the Campbell Soup family has a big estate over here. The I mean there's so many old money, you know, and then a lot of new money. So I mean it's a really unique place. Okay, not my kind of place at all, But you know, I was born and Blowing Rock, North Carolina, which is also a resort town, so I'm kind of used to it. Even though just because I was born there doesn't mean I'm wanting to take part any of that kind of stuff. I've always just wanted to be out in the woods or out of the water, you know me. Anyway, it is a unique place for that reason. There's a lot of huge concentration of money, there's a huge concentration of power, and there's a major military influence. Like everybody around here is either active duty or a veteran. I mean it's crazy, I mean literally, and for that reason. You know, sometimes it's a pretty safe environment. I mean, you know, if things go bad, power goes out for a couple of weeks, I can go to a neighbor who's you know, special. Ops got a guy across the street. I mean he's a gorilla. I mean, the other guy is the most fit. I mean, if anybody breaks in my house, I'm not calling the cops. I'm calling the neighbor across the street. The guy is I mean a freaking gorilla, and I mean is huge and armed. To the teeth and probably on deployment right now because he's not owned. But I mean, you know, so it has its upset, it's downs, you get to know. I mean, gosh, one of my mom's neighbors is used to run the economy, the entire economy of Monaco and work for David Rockefeller in the Banker's Association. He advises the Federal Reserve. I mean, this is the kind of power he worked in the Reagan administration. And let's see the French stock Exchange. He ran the entire stock market for France. You know, this is the kind of guy who might be your next door neighbor. Guy lives beside him, is retired CIA. I mean, it's it's really, you know, kind of a weird place, and you know, ups and downs, good good points and bad points. You know, a lot of the people here are really fantastic, actually, I mean, you couldn't ask for better. But the environment is not to my liking. I think I've said enough about that. You get my view of this. But now let me tell you if in the blanks. So about two years ago, Yeah, it was the winter just before the hurricane hit the house, and I was down here for the holidays and I'm out walking the dog. It was just after sunset and everything went black. Well, turns out a terrorist group had come and shot up to power stations with high powered rifles. I mean they say high powered rifles and it's probably just a thirty odd or something, you know, I mean, but you know, they went and shot it up, and they just damaged the equipment enough that they had to bring in new equipment that wasn't even available in the state and had to be shipped in. So like in the middle of winter and the one of the coldest times a year, basically the entire county was without power for really up to two weeks. You may think, well, that's no big deal. Well, you got a lot of retirement communities and nursing homes and all that, and people on oxygen and life support equipment, and yeah, it was a pretty big deal. People died, It wasn't anything. It wasn't a not big deal. Some people froze to death. I mean, it was, you know, not good now. Of course, you know, people that had enough money just went to their other home, you know, or went in state in one of the at the resort or somewhere you know, a hotel nearby the locals and the elderly were in pretty bad shape. They never found out who did it. They said similar attacks had happened in Washington State and it seems like somewhere else. They believed it was a domestic terrorist group and a targeted attack, and nobody was ever prosecuted, nobody was ever caught. I mean somehow they said, you know, there may have been a van they were looking for for a while, but no one saw anything, and nobody knows anything. And within a month or two it was totally out of the headlines and forgotten. So, you know, terrorist attack in North Carolina. Labeled it to errors attack and oh oh well, who knows something happened, nobody knows who did it. That's not uncommon in North Carolina. I mean back when I was working in journalism, it was just like right after nine to eleven, someone stole enough dynamite I think it was in the Winston Salem area to literally level like sixteen city blocks and it made the headlines for like a day, and they were the person was never caught, I mean seriously, And like over at Bragg and stuff, there have been break ins and stealing of military weapons and equipment, and it's just like oh, well, ho hum, moving, moving along, nothing to see here. I mean, it's very much journalism in North Carolina, especially when it comes to a topic that may have anything to do with natural security or may harm tourism or real estate values. Is like Leslie Nielsen and naked guns standing in front of the fireworks factory. You know, move along, nothing to see here, while you know all hell's breaking loose behind him. That's part for the course, literally, that is part for the course. You could look at some towns in North Carolina like Lumberton or Durham, or Morganton or Hickory or Charlotte. Charlotte's horrible. You will find some of the highest crime rates in the entire country, and nobody talks about it because North Carolina thrives on real estate and tourism, so they don't want anybody to think it might be a dangerous place. Actually, a lot of parts of North Carolina, even small towns like Laurenberg or Maxton, you would not want to even drive through. You would not even want to drive through. And I mean literally you can get shot at random driving through. So that's you know, you think Chicago's bad. You think Maryland's bad, Baltimore or whatever. We got our issues big time. And I used to work in journalism and I would talk with people and say, hey, did you know this was going on? They'd be like, no, I have no idea. It's not being told said on the TV news. When I turn on WRL. No, they're all smiley, happy people and you know, everything's wonderful and we need a lot more government money to fund our programs for all the poor. And you know, super liberal. I hate WRL horrible, horrible forecasting the weather as well. I mean they can get things off by days and weeks. I mean they're just like the worst. Okay. So anyway, a couple months after that first attack, up at the north end of the county, which is actually more rural, there was a veteran retired special ops guy from what I understand a seal if I'm not mistaken. He goes out and he sees these guys like linemen. They're like in power company suits, and he knows this is they all have like, you know, dark hair and dark skin, and they don't look like Different America. They look like they're from the Middle East and He's like, huh, well, that's weird. You know, maybe they brought it a crew for Mexico or something. You know, he's not thinking anything of it. But then he gets closer and realizes that the name on their vest wasn't for the power company that owns those lines. They were wearing fake electric suits, and he went and confronted him and they started shooting at him. Now, this is my understanding. This is what was reported, and I'm just gonna put a caveat on this. Just about everything I'm saying is hearsay. I was not there to witness it, and I have not spoken with the primary sources. But he reported it in a local publication online. I cannot remember the name of it. Only learned about it actually living in the county. I only learned about it because Steve Bannon talked about it in the war room. I mean, yeah, that's about the only coverage we got of this. So a terror cell was apparently uncovered in Moore County, an actual foreign Islamic terrorist cell. The FBI came in. SBI originally had it at State Bureau, and the FBI comes in, took it away from the local cops, and nobody ever told us who they were, what they were doing, and what they were up to. That's it. Oh, you just had a little you know, Islamic foreign terror cell in your county messing with power lines, and we're not gonna tell you a darn thing about it. Move on, nothing to see here. Yeah, and I mean seriously, that that is how that went down. If that had happened in Virginia, it would have been national headline news. It happens what three hundred miles away in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and it's moved along. Nothing to see here, Okay. So then a few months later this would be I guess the last fall. I mean, just a few months ago, someone went out and cut the major fiber optic lines for the cable provider Spectrum. I mean, you know, national cable provider. Just about everybody has Spectrum in the area. Now, this wasn't just like some idiot went out with a you know, a pair of bolt cutters. No, it wasn't that they literally took heavy equipment like a crane or a lift and went out like in on a major highway to the main line that was running between I guess what they call hubbs. Someone had to know which of those lines was this major fiber up to cable, and they knew that by cutting this fiber up to cable, it would take out internet and phone for most people, and of course cable television and all that for more than the entire county. I mean, this actually took more county in parts of other counties. And they didn't just go and snippet. They cut out like a ten yard section. They went to one end and the other end at like three am, with heavy equipment in front of everybody, and nobody noticed. Again, labeled a terrorist attack. So that ran in the local newspaper, the Southern Pines Pilot. If you want to know what the local newspaper is. They actually wanted to know who did this. We still don't know. Again, it was labeled a terrorist attack. It did not make state news. It was statewide news, and it did not make national news whatsoever. And then day before yesterday, it was it was nighttime. I was finishing up an article. Thank god, I was almost completely done, because it published automatically, and like the last two sentences got cut off and I probably would have taken them out when I edited it anyway, So that was all right. But It's like eleven PM at night. Suddenly I lose internet. Turn on the TV. There's no no cable, no nothing. You know the phone system around here, you know landlines are on the cable. But you know I have my cell So I called the cable company and you got the automatic recording. It'll be restored at eleven thirty Okay, it did, wasn't. I called back in. It'll be restored at two thirty am. It wasn't. I got up at four in the morning to try to work on that article. Still no internet, and you know I can get internet on my cell but I can't write. I mean, I just I cannot write or edit on a cell phone. I have to have a big screen, I have to have a keyboard. I have massive hands, and texting just does not work for me. So anyway, and really the signal I was getting for the Internet on the cell phone was really weak. It really sluggish and slow. You know how that can be. So anyway, I went back to bed. No no point in being up at four am. I have nothing to do, right, And we learned some lessons the last time things went down around here, like most of the stores, like the grocery stored everything, couldn't process credit debit cards because they had to have the internet to do that. A lot of things were affected by that, from banking to the hospital system, stores, commerce and all that. So I thought, hey, you know, I'm not even going to bother going to go get some groceries or anything. I'm just going back to bed. So went to bed, woke up again at ten am. I mean I really slept in. This was yesterday. Went still no internet call the number again. It will be restored by two no by noon. That was by noon. By noon there's no internet call again. It will be restored by two thirty. I thought, something's going on. This is not you know, somebody didn't just run off the road and hit a poll, or you know, you know somebody wasn't digging in the yard and hit a line. This something's going on. So I finally got through to customer service, like to speak with a real human being, and the guys up in New York, and I said, so, you know, here's the deal. I keep calling it, keeps saying it's going to come on. Just to fill you in, we got a little history around here of people kind of attacking the grid. The infrastructure. Could you check into it and tell me what's going on so I know what to expect, you know, if I need to drive over the next town, get on Wi Fi somewhere so I can get my work done. That's what I'm thinking. And he says, yeah, this is really weird. He says, I'm pulled up the everything. He said, you got about eight thousand people without service in your county, and it's not telling me a reason why. It says there's a power outage. And I said, well, that's weird, I said, because everybody's got their power on. There haven't been any reported power outages. He said, hold, you know. He comes back in about ten minutes. He's like, I mean, I have to get into the guy who's honest. He's like, dude, this is really weird. He said, someone has cut the power to our facility. So our technicians are down there basically trying to get your cable back on, but they have to wait for Duke Power or Progress Energy or whatever it is now to come repair the lines. And I'm like, okay, this makes sense. Because he's like, so tell me what's happened before. And I told him what I just told you, and He's like, I'm going to look into this. He said, this is freaking me out. And he says, because I'm pulling up the engineering reports and it's supposed to be the technicians on the ground telling us what's going on, and we're getting no information. Something weird is happening. So that's where we stand. Everything's back now, obviously I'm talking to you. I got power, I got internet, I got all that. But yeah, something's going on. In the course of two years, three confirmed and a possible fourth terrorist attack in a pretty unique county right by the like what the biggest military base in the southeast at least one of the biggest of the entire country. What's going on? I don't know. I don't know. So James is looking into it. Hopefully he can get you some more information on this soon. But he said it looks like a pattern. He says he thinks there's maybe stuff like this going on in other states as well. There's so many possibilities. We have no idea what this is all about. Is it trial runs? You know? Are they feeling us out? Are they trying to see how they might be able to do something bigger at some point? Are they taking down, like, you know, causing a blackout, interrupting internet and communications. And also yesterday, you know, I turned on my radio and the gmr S repeater for the area was down apparently, so whatever they did that took out the cable line, I don't know what it did. That could have been a completely separate issue. But normally I turn it on if there's something happening in the county. This is GMRS for the entire county. There's one in the next county over. It was fine, but this one I turned it on and it was just static, like you know how it goes like really annoying. You can't listen to it for very long. Back kept trying the one over in like closer to the military base. I was just getting Morris cut and digital signals, which was kind of weird. So that could be a completely separate issue. Could have nothing to do with it, I have no idea, but yeah, I couldn't even figure out. I mean, like I could get the local police scanner network and I was able to kind of you know, at least know, you know, nothing horrible's happening, you know. That was about all I could do. And some guys over in the next county talking about their radios and antennas and some you know idiot that had been on there doing all kinds of silly stuff they thought was hilarious. But you know that was probably an aside. But did they create some kind of information And they've done this again with taking out the power at times blackout to perhaps access something they couldn't have accessed when security systems were on. There's not been in a report any where they after data. I mean, like I said, this is a major major military brass live here and major people like in the CIA and the FBI were talking like really, you know, this is like people who spent their lives like in Arlington and and and up in the DC area retire here and they keep a toe in and then we of course do have the military installations here. Could that be an issue? I don't know, but you know, James thought of this was important. He thought he thinks he may see a pattern and hopefully you'll have some more information on this. And all I can tell y'all is be prepared. Just be prepared. It always comes down to the same thing. Have your alternative means of communication in place, your power in place, in case they cut the power and you know, general or candles, whatever you prefer. I hate electric generators. The noise drives me insane, so I tend to go a little primitive in that regard. But then you know, I've got a little solar and such to charge batteries or in the old crank radio and that kind of crap. But you know, be prepared for that. I always keep cash on hand because when stuff like this goes down, your credit card, your debit card may not work, you may not be a pull money from an ATM. Good good idea to have at least maybe eight hundred bucks if you can do it, at least one hundred If you're thinking you're going to get through a couple of days, I mean, what's that going to do. It's gonna put some gas in your vehicle and buy some groceries. Yeah, I mean, like eight hundred bucks will probably carry you for several weeks if you're frugal and you know, not stupid and don't order a lot of takeout. I've made it on five bucks a week most of my life. So but you know, most people say, have eight hundred dollars on hand. Okay, it's a ballpark range, for like if you had a family of four. Me, I'm good if I got fifty or sixty bucks. I know I can get through a week, no problem. But you know, then leave that up to you. Use your own intelligence, guided by experience. As Nero Wolf used to write, I always live that line. Use your intelligence guided by experience, And that's what I'm where I'm gonna leave it. Use your intelligence, guided by experience. They keep saying, telling us there's nothing to see here. My intelligence, kind of my experience is telling me there's something to see here. There's something pretty daggum big to see here, and anybody that knows what's going on is covering it up. If anybody even knows what's going on, And that may be the more scary scenario. I mean, we got these Antifa and that weird like transgender vegan terrorist group that I mean have really been doing some crazy, dangerous, violent stuff. And then just like your normal wackos, your Islamic dearis, your Chechens and your Iranians and all that. I mean, you know, the tranny vegans make them look normal. Right anyway, y'all, Just as my old buddy say, keep your chin up and your head down. All right, Now, let's talk about herbs. Milk thistle. Milk thistle is so good. Milk thistle is the very best herb for liver health bar none. Modern science has proven that what herb wis have known for a long time. Milk thistle is a bitter herb that not only protects the liver, but can help heal it from damage. Plants for a Future says. Recent research has confirmed that it has a remarkable ability to protect the liver from damage resulting from alcoholic and other types of poisoning. The whole plant is a stringent bitter coligogu, diaphractic, diuretic of medica, minagogue, hepatic stimulant, stematic antnic. It does a lot of great stuff. The words used internally in the treatment of liver and gall bladder diseases jawn to cerrosis, hepatitis, and poisoning plantus harveston when flour dried for later use. Silly marin is the Latin name? Was it silly marin ory salibum? I cannot remember, uh. Doc Jones always says silly bumb but that's I think it goes by two names anyway. The extract made from the seeds acts on the membranes of the liver cell to prevent the entry of virus, toxins and other cox compounds that would damage the cells. It also dramatically improves liver regeneration and hepatitis, cirrhosis, and mushroom poisoning. Like if you eat amanitas, they turn your liver to like jelly to jell o in the bleak of an eye. That's what kills you. They make you sick, but they kill you by destroying your liver. German scientists, German doctors have used milk thistle to prevent that from happening. That's actually primary treatment in much of Europe. Has it really caught in the United States yet, of course, because our doctors don't like to use things God gives us for free. They like to use things that cost a lot of money to the patient the insurance company. So German research suggests that saliban that's the flavonoid, is clinically useful in the treatment of severe poisoning by amanita mushrooms. Seed extracts produced commercially in Europe. Regeneration of the liver is particularly important in the treatment of cancer, since this disease is always characterized by severely compromised, often partially destroyed liver been used for many, many centuries. Here's the Latin name Salibum mary onum, and the marianum actually means mary. It was called Mary's thistle, and it's a name for the mother of God. It has a lot of religious significance as well. But going back to ancient Greece, Theophrastus and Galen recommended it for liver health, So I mean it's literally been used this way for like four thousand years, if not more. Cleaning the elder recommended mixing the juice of milk thistle with honey. That was in about twenty three to seventy nine AD, so again pretty darn far back there, that was for liver health as well. Saint Hildagard, if i'm bingun, writing about ten eighty or so, said anyone who has a stitch in his side, especially or a pain in the heart that can also both can be caused by liver inflammation. By the way, like when you run you get the stitch in your side, that's because really you're breathing quickly and the lining around the lungs, the pleroma kind of begins to rub against the liver abdominal area. That is how you get the stitch. In that case. You can also get a stitch in your side if you have unchitis or asthma, because really for the same reason. But of course it can have the other way if the liver's in flame. She said, anyone who has a stitch in the side or pain in the heart should take a little lady's silent, a little less sage, and reduce him into juice and a little water. And when he is tormented by the stitch, he should immediately drink this and he will be better because it reduces liver information also very good for the lunch. So Gerard, wow, women was Gerard Elizabeth in England. But King Henry the eighth. Yeah, he was the official herbalist and physician for King Henry. So this when we're talking, I can't remember the was that fifteen right around fifteen hundred. I'll just go with that. Let's see, he said. Uh. He goes on to describe it a lot. You can just look it up. We have that anyway, very good for anyway, I'm getting confused here because you started talking about another plant and then came back to this one. Yeah, liver health. Good for infants that have their sinews drawn together. I'm not quite sure about that. I don't know. Also good for those who be troubled with cramps, and good for those that be bitten of serpents. And he said, now this isn't Gerard at this point. This oh, anyway, I think we're moving on a cold pepper anyway, I'm not sure about the serpent thing. There actually is a long European you find this in various cultures and countries. People used to believe that if you hung milk this role around the neck, it would keep poisonous snakes from biting you. Probably not true at all, but that was what they believed. But because of its effect on the liver, it may help the bout process the poison from the snake. So you know, you could have some use there. Yeah. Culpepper pretty much said the same thing MS. Greeve in the thirties. Let's see what I'll just skip up. She gives a lot of history, but we're already run along here. Let's get to medicinal use. Yep, again, liver health. I'm not seeing anything really new. I guess I could wrap it up more modern here. Michael Moore liked to use it. The herbalist Michael Moore used to use it in formulas and he had a detox formula which was pretty good. It was a combination of Oregon grape root, salivam or milk thistle fluid extract, yellow doc, aristolochi in laria. It would cleanse some blood, liver and lymph system and was especially good when recovering from alcohol drug and that he dealt with a lot of that in his practice as a liver tonic. He combined it with bar barrier, oregon grape, chaparral toadflax Echinasia burdock, yellow doc and blue flagroot. That's an iris, he said. That's an old fashioned shotgun type formula, but was really good for the liver, especially for passive liver heaviness characterized by periodic light stools, frontal headaches, especially when eating rich foods, greasy hair, acne on the cheeks, and acne around the mouth. That was an indication of a sluggish liver. Interesting especially good for When we talked about this recently, he says especially good for those who work regularly with solvents or drink regularly h and if also for people who when they wake up are grouchy and sluggish in the morning. Interesting now for liver excess or again we discussed this recently when the livers inflamed burdock, dandelion, milk thistle Laria and Tribulus tripless terrestus. That's an herb we don't use a whole lot these days. It's often used in athletic formulas. But anyway, really good milk thistle is fantastic. If you drink alcohol, definitely take milk thistle. If you use thail and all, take twice as much milk thistle. If you work with solvents, toxic chemicals, if you're in a place like Pinehurst on municipal water that's full of toxic chemicals and radiation, you probably gonna want some milk thistle. Yeah, and all like the plastics and such, you know, definitely Yeah. As interestingly, I hear I had a note at the end at the end of my notes called Pepper wrote, this stately and very beautiful plant, had it been brought from a remote part of the world, would be much esteemed in our gardens. I thought that was an interesting way of saying it. Like we take it. For granted, because it's so common milk thistle, it's not as common in America as it was in England, but it is a really, really pretty plant and definitely one you should be growing. And really, whether you grow it or not, the best way to use it is, at this point in time, a commercial extract. You can get them probably any grocery store, any drug store. Heck, Dollar General carries rex Sol brand vitamins and they have a decent milk thistle extract. So anyway, unless you have a press, you can actually make the extract from with the seeds, that's your best bet. It works pretty well as a tincture, it works pretty well as at a coction, but the extract, commercially produced extract is actually much more potent. So this is one of those few urbs I'm going to tell you it's probably better to buy, but there's no reason you can't grow it and learn to work with it. Anyway, the more you have, the better, and parts of it are edible and they have medicinal value as well. See y'all, Stay safe, stay warm, stay at a more county if you can help it. Unless you love golf, hey, it's the home of golf. I mean, you know, people spend their entire lives dreaming of playing the pine horse golf courses. That is not my thing. That is not my thing at all. Now, if they would let me take my deer rifle out there and harvest some meat, you know, I might be a lot happier with this area. But they're not gonna do that, of course, surrounded by houses as well. Okay, let my bow. I can take my bow out there, get up a tree. You know, I can take care of that deer problem for you. You might have some beavers over there by the lake. You know, I can take care of that for you. But no, no, totally off liwits all right, y'all, have a good one. How to idy you next day.
