I nearly died from a C-Diff infection and was in the hospital for a week as they tried to find something to control it. After leaving the hospital and 2 weeks later ending the prescription, I got C-diff back. Then they tried another med. Same thing. Then I even had a fecal transplant. Still, the C-diff returned after 2 weeks. This went on for over a year. Then I got an intense craving for kombucha. I had brewed and drank it 20 years ago on my homestead. But I hadn't had it in many years. I got some organic kombucha and began drinking it, about a half cup every hour. Within 3 hours my C-diff symptoms stopped. The first week I stopped the kombucha and my symptoms came back. The next day I started kombucha again. The C-diff symptoms stopped immediately! Over time, I was able to reduce the kombucha and don't even have to drink it more than once a week, if I don't want to. No more C-diff! I found out that kombucha has saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast that crowds out the C-diff bacteria! What a Creator we have to have given us these cravings. We truly are fearfully and wonderfully made!
Thanks for this comment- super interesting and helpful
Thank you for sharing your story. That truly is amazing! And yes, we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made! I was just repeating this verse today in fact! :)
Thanks for telling us your story! I had forgotten that last year I was making a homemade S. boulardii supplement for IBS by opening a capsule into a jar of applesauce and letting it ferment for 3-4 days at room temperature..The yeast eats the sugars in the applesauce and expands it’s numbers. A week or more later, there is no sweetness left in the applesauce, it’s not bad tasting, but it’s medicine then.
@@happyoutside2558is that completely safe to do, id like to try it? 🤔
Wow so glad you found out how to heal❤❤
I turned to herbs in 2016, and I have learned to listen to my body. It is truly amazing how my body knows what it needs.
Last winter I got a pretty bad virus and the only thing I could even think about eating for days was grapefruit. Thankfully right before I got sick I had found them on sale and bought several bags.
I just love the way you present it. So
Much humor!!! Love what you said. Total common sense!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Anna. Thanks for watching.

Love your comment about the three voices we should listen to. So accurate and so well spoken. God bless
Oboe and Juju… excellent names of choice.
Thank you for this very good touch with reality. My beloved consort had a diet of his own in his studio for 30 years that was just roots, lentils, and one dropped egg for years and years and he screwed up his system. Now we are under one roof because he’s all worn out and he seemed to get a craving for sugar- he would eat chocolate sauce down to the bone, eat 80% cacao or drink all the natural maple syrup down to the drip. Repeatedly. Finally, after more than a month of this, he stopped. He got acid indigestion, but his terrible gut problem cleared up although it took two months, really. He is not bound up anymore.. I just let him go at it and it worked. What do I care what he wants to take in if he really needs it at the age of 86? His body knew best.
I've always have a good instinct for that kind of thing, its led me to avoid the heavily artificial foods even as a kid. I can tell if it's good quality food or junk just by looking at it.
A few years ago my finger got stung by a wasp, I looked around for Plantain leaf but didnt see it, so I grabbed some basil instead and said "ah! That one is almost just as good!" But then I stopped and realized I'd never heard that from anywhere before, but I said it, so it must be true. I went inside to google if that was a known fact and while google was confirming that it did I washed off my finger and stuck it in the apple cider vinegar jar. When I realized I did that I started googling if that was good for it too. Turns out yes. Both help stings, no need to google it, just listen to your instincts.
This is Alea, Doug's wife🙂. When I was pregnant I craved milk. I could drink a gallon a day! When my daughter was born her umbilical cord was soo thick! It was completely white and difficult to cut. God is amazing in how he created us.
can't wait until I can afford to get trained - with the way sterling is dropping it could be some time - but i will keep looking forward to it.
When I was a kid I was sick allot and would crave sliced garlic on bread with lemon squeezed on it.
You were a smart kid. Garlic has some amazing antimicrobial properties. :0)

I absolutely love the smell of oregano oil (we use it in our laundry detergent to kill mildew on the clothes and washer).

Although I'm not thrilled with the smell of valerian, it does take the ruff edges off my nerves. I've been muscle testing and using herbs medicinally for years. My next goal is to become your student, in your school. It's exciting to think about how much more I could learn, it's my passion.
Thank you for doing these vids Doc, you're the best.
Holler when you're ready Rose. I'd love to join you on that journey. :0)

Early on in my friends pregnancy, I was craving Tinned Sardines. I kept telling my friend she needed to up her calcium. Lo and behold, she was low in calcium. Once she started eating them, my cravings dropped.
While I was pregnant I craved fries, salty and sour Frozen drinks. I swapped it out for avocado (oils), on wholemeal toast (carbs) with a sprinkle of salt, small glass of orange juice on the side (better than a Chem sour drink). Other craving I had was toffee apple, just swapped it to apple for the magnesium.
Speaking of aversions... I can't take cilantro, seaweed and pine nuts, I throw up 15-30mins later. I figure my body can't use it for detox and I need other methods
Same for pinenuts, I got a metallic taste for several days and could not eat or drink even water after a serving back in 2009. Was so wild. On the 2nd day I Googled the symptoms and found out I was allergic.
This was great! Thank you for that. I really enjoyed the part about the difference between male/female brains. It makes total sense. Men aren't "dumber" like comedians like to joke about they're just less mentally complicated. Definitely pros and cons to both situations. That's why we go well together.
Our male brains are more compartmentalized like a bunch of boxes. Female brains are like beautiful spider webs where everything is connected to everything else. As you said, there are advantages to both and the combination of the two can make for a beautiful pairing...that is if both are using their brain properly. LOL

My mom (in her 70's) has had a lot of leg pain stemming from a pinched nerve in her hip. Recently she moved into an RV and was going to spend some time at my sister's house. I heard your story about your wife using the valerian tincture topically for shoulder pain, so I decided to send some to my mom to try. I had never smelled it and had it shipped right to her (I live in a different state). My mom used it one day on her hip and didn't notice the smell (bad sinuses). Well, my sister and her husband thought the cat had pooped or something! When they figured out what it was, my sister messaged me telling me I'd better not send her anymore stinky medicine!😂
but did it take away her pain?
@@holycow92883 She said she thought it may have helped a little bit she only used it once. My sister took her to a chiropractor and they gave her some kind of pills.😑
Your sister apparently doesn't have a sore hip or insomnia or anxiety or...plugged sinuses. LOL
Next time send skullcap. It's less stinky. :0)

Patrick, you are my new favorite Teacher !!!
Absolutely love your videos thankyou.
I am a 3rd gen farmer and have been amazed growing up watching animals respond in positive way to to certain plants and minerals, sometimes in Absolutely unbelievable fashion.
It really was only about 10yrs ago i thought well i do i fix these deficiencies in them why arent i doing it for me and my family.
Its sad to see modern " medicine" distract away from what humans had learned and used for thousands of yrs.
I look forward to watching all your videos , thankyou.
So true thank you for sharing😊
Dr. Jones, loving your videos! I found out about you through the video you did with Carolyn at Homesteading Family.
mee too
Same here.
Glad I found you on Homesteading Family
Ahhhhhh yes, on listening… I remember when I I kept wondering how the American Indians knew about witch hazel. It’s so wonderful, it’s kind of common if you know where to look ..,finally, I lived in a backyard that had some identifiable witch hazel the plant told me so. So I leaned against the bush and asked its spirit to tell me what some American Indian had listened to and it told me it about sap of witch hazel. Yay. 0:13
Dude, I love your sense of humor! Great information on Herbs too! Good stuff! :)
@Homegrown Herbalist
I have found that this is really true! I might send you an email about my experience with red clover a couple of years ago. It's kind of a long story so I don't know if anyone here would be interested in reading it in the comment section; but suffice it to say that what you have said in this video is true.
@Perfect Day,
I, for one, would appreciate reading about your experience however, other than posting it here I don't know how we could connect for that to transpire. 😏 Maybe we can 'hook-up' in the "Community" area of Doc's channel(?). 😺 Gonna go there right now to check it out.
In any case__Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺

I'll write about, if you want to read it. As long as you don't mind a bit of a long read. I'll see if I can write it sometime today. 😉💖
I agree listen to those guy's 🙌❤
Came from Reddit. Thank you for posting this I love the stories you had, also I just liked and subscribed 👍🏾 hoping you can soon reach that retirement goal!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all the great info and insight! I’ve experienced this with aromatherapy -the scents I need smell quite appealing, but when I don’t need them, they aren’t so great. Another example is seafood. The smell of most seafood is absolutely nauseating to me, so I believe I probably have a shellfish allergy and steer clear of it.
Thank you Dr. Jones for sharing so much great info with others. God bless you & your family. ♡

Love you, Dr.
thanks for this!!
Love the education you give me!! Thank you🎉🎉❤
This summer my friend gave me a monarda plant and I made a tea out ouf the leafs. I loved it so much thaht I bought around 20 plants. I was absolutelly crazy about it (beyond intellectual understanding). As I listened to your channel I learned that it is good for treating mold and candida. I suspect that I was collonized by mold from my previous appartment and I had a SIBO which is a common side effect of candida. I am absolutelly mind blown 🤯🤯🤯
Fascinating!!
Great information!
This was awesome! Thank You
Thank you❤
Great video as always
I've found that vinegar water and Oregon grapes taste really good when I'm dehydrated! 🙂

Another great one and totally exciting.
God gave us the most incredible bodies and we tend to ask others more than we ask our own bodies.
Ask others but go ahead and trust your own body!
Doc Jones you are a great Dr!
“Anyone know what we’re talking about?” LOL 😂 I just can’t.
I have always trusted my food cravings, even if I didn't know why I craved the foods. I do watch my pets and see what they are eating to see what they need. When suggesting herbs to friends and family, I ask them if they like the herb like cilantro or oregano. That tells me quickly if that herb will help the person or not. This is a fascinating topic so please do more videos on this topic.
Syrian rue seeds smell really nice. They taste appallingly bitter, but the smell is pleasantly similar to chocolate.
Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇸🐻

My sister-in-law had mad cravings for soap when she was pregnant! She would lick the soap bar and clean her teeth with soap instead of toothpaste. Goodness knows what that means!
Love your vids. Funny thing about valerian is, I knew it was for sleep or calming, but when I went through my garden I saw bees sleeping on my valerian flowers and I thought hmm maybe I’ll make a tea and tincture out of the flowers. Works like a dream. Lol
Women (with a lot of feminine energies) experience lower serotonin levels because we tend to be more empathic. We feel or become aware other's pain. I've done muscle testing for herbs but the smell/taste test sounds interesting; I'll try it.
Yup. Women's brains to all kinds of complicated stuff. :0)

So interesting about the elephants eating the clay. I sometimes see my horses licking the red clay that is in their pasture. They do have a salt block and a mineral tub available, but I am guessing it is something in the red clay that they need. As for men and women’s brains being wired different. I could not be more thankful for the brains if the men in my life. They help me keep control of my many directional and fast moving brain. Which can get very overwhelming when there is so much to think of at once. It is good to have boxes to put thoughts in and a husband to snap me out of my worries when my boxes spill out and helps me put everything back in my boxes.
Yes, I am not much of a bean person but there was a time I wanted beans every day, even baked beans, yuck 😁 Wanted to donate blood at that time, turned out my iron level was so low that they did not want my blood, told me to eat liver and beans.
Did you tell them your body had already told you? :0)

@@HomeGrownHerbalist nope - they thought I was nuts anyway, that may have confirmed their opinion- not that I care! :0 back then I did a little yet. Getting older is wonderful, I know what I know, still learn new things and just feel good no matter what others think about me.
I LOVE valerian root.... the herb store i go to it drives them nuts cuz everytime i go on there i get valerian n make their whole store which is rather small stink to high heaven. i love it😂
Do you have a video on muscle testing?
I liked the male female brain analogy, its funny and so true! The valarian insight is interesting to me bc I'm typically of the opinion that it smells awful. I've primarily taken it as a sleep aid and I've found that I get tired quickly, go right to sleep, but then wake up in 3 or 4 hrs wide awake, just to be tired again when its time to go to work.
Side note, my dog had a strong affinity for crabgrass specifically. We used to joke that she was part goat.
During my pregnancy I had to have strawberries and pickles! I felt driven to eat strawberries every day and the pickles several times a week.
Funny I was craving stinging nettle for about three weeks. Sautéed it with garlic for about three weeks and now don’t crave it anymore
can you write a book about formulas for certain things,like joint pain, pain in general, respiratory etc. so I can make my own blends
What’s your thoughts on muscle testing for supplements?
So true, i notice in the summer when it gets hot out i crave pickles, while in the winter i never eat any.
I have a summer affinity for pickles too. I'm not sure what that means. But, in spite of my slightly expanding belly, I don't think I'm pregnant. :0)
Doc Jones
homegrownherbalist.net/about-the-school/
Maybe the craving is the salts and vinegars... minerals due to sweating and loosing body fluids. This being more so if traditionally fermented pickles, rather than vinegar pickles

Can you recommend an herb that may be good for tennis elbow?

I have recurring fevers and ibs for 2 years now. The doc suspects an autoimmune disorder of some sort. I recently started fermenting garlic in honey. I can’t get enough of it. I don’t eat the whole jar at once because I want some before the next batch is ready. Wondering if there’s something to it.
@user-wq9bf9ou6q our body knows what it needs to stay healthy. Garlic is an antibiotic, antiviral and contains a lot of sulfur which our immune system needs. Honey also helps with keeping bacteria at bay. So, it makes sense that you craved the fermented garlic in honey.
😊🌱💚🌻🌻
I hear fig leaves are good to make a tea for high blood pressure. Can you give some info on fig leaves.
I haven't ever used fig leaves but there are some good studies on fig leaves decreasing blood pressure as well as decreasing high blood sugars.
Be really careful about combining herbs and medications that decrease blood pressure or blood sugar. Too much of a good thing can be a really BAD thing.

Hello doc' is there any herb that I can use to help cleanse out the antibiotics I regret getting.
Have a look at this:
homegrownherbalist.net/product/herbal-klnz-kit/
Is that good for the injection kind antibiotics or just or the pill form that has been taken.
If that is the case, then why do dogs eat their own poop?
A dairy vet? Bovine or caprine or...?
I wrassled both cows and goats in my dairy adventures.
I Wrassled horses, beef cows, llamas and the occasional ostrich too as needed. For the last few years I've only worked with small animals. They're easier to wrassle. :0)
The vet practice has been a real blessing as an herbalist because I have a piece of paper on the wall that says I can do whatever I want with a dog/horse/cow. As a result, Ive treated horrific wounds, gunshots, snake bites, gangrene, critical cases etc with herbs that most herbalists don't get to address. It makes a big difference in the school.
