    You ask if there is a medical use of the plant. Teasel has been used very successfully in treating Lyme disease. Some people who lived with Lyme for years and decades recovered fully using Teasel. After treatment their b;ood work came back negative for the three tests done by Dr.s.

    Thank you for this video. Quick and interesting. Really good info to start a fire in the wild! Was just watching a short video about Teasel from Dr. Patrick Jones in Idaho USA. He is a Veterinarian and herbalist with an Herbal school. He has very interesting medicinal experiences with Teasel root. He states that it can 'reboot ' a nervous system that is 'stuck' as it were in a tragic accident. Worth a watch.

    Good to see you out in the open spaces.
    Frogs in our country use little plant pools for laying eggs during our wet season.
    That's really cool, you only need a spark to light that thing up.

    • @pondguru
      @pondguru  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes even before the plant has died and dried out the flower head will catch a spark and burst into flames. Those pools are almost constant even here so I can see how small frogs could utilise them.

    Wild teasels like the ones in the video weren't the species used raising nap on cloth, that was a cultivated subspecies with harder heads and hooked spines, it's a but of a myth (endlessly repeated though, not helped by the botanical name, which relates to the use of the subspecies but is given, oddly, to the wild species)) that the wild species was used like this, it's far too soft for that use. And that usage wasn't that long ago, teasels were used (and sometimes still are) in modern machinery, teasel gigs, in cloth mills until well into the late 20th century.

    The flower of the teasel split in the middle and then travels down our to the top
    Like Borreliose you get infected but the illness does not break out it rather travels before that

    I appreciate the short and to-the-point videos with educational value . Toooo many channels are starting to do the Vlogging , which is a waste of everybody's time . A half hour vid with 2 minutes of useful content earns them an unsub. You're doing a GREAT job of producing vids of value . One guy has done " 8 " half hour or longer vids to clean up an old mini axe head and carve a handle for it and he still hasn't sharpened the damn thing yet , that must be good for an other dozen or so . All in aid of making more money out of nothing . If people got nothing to say ~ they should say nothing . That's why I like your style . Thank you for not Vlogging and Thanks for good Videos of quality . Mike out

    • @pondguru
      @pondguru  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vlogging grinds on me too as its clear that the uploader is just after quick views and income. The main problem is that there are so many viewers out there who have no lives of their own and live their 'life' out through others and what they are doing. I really don't think people need to know every aspect of a TH-camrs life and the amount of times some of these channels simply make stuff up to garner sympathy from their sheep-like viewers to rally behind them and their made up life of tragedy is beyond a joke.
      Fake people supporting fake people.....uuurrrghhhh...not for me either.
      I actually feel guilty if I don't have anything educational in a video which is probably taking it too far the other way, lol

      Everything Natural is good for something but we've lost so much knowledge over the last few hundred years (since the last reset) that we're scrambling around looking for the true information occluded by time (and the 'elites'). Everything we learn from back before the days of 'trust the science' is worth more than gold.

But i am a bit concerned about your safety , I have notice in the survival video's every time your in these woods , There have been these large animal among the brush . This video is a bit of a worry they seem to be closer , Could you watch this video again in the first 1.35 seconds of the clip . from your right shoulder to the edge of frame There's some thing big & black moving in & out of those trees .

I know some countries have bears , We do not . But i was concerned when i saw this mysterious shape .considering you were seated doing the video . I showed this clip to a friend of mine living in the UK. I'll just have to wait for him to get back to me about it . I'll let you know what he thinks it is . For all i know it's a person having a sticky beak or nossy parker on what your doing . But anyway i really love your video's , There's great some ideas That get me thinking .lol .

But as you said biggest is a fox. But anyway i will still be watching your video's , oh by the way i used a whistle for foxes . as i couldn't make the sound on my finger like you can. ttyl.

      I had to look that up as I had never heard of it but now I am even more intrigued. I can't see anything on the video which is suspicious and you say you've seen it i other videos? and your mate could see it in this video?
      The green man / wild man goes way back to pagan folklore and if I knew where it was in the videos I would most definitely revisit there to try and capture it on film.

    Show us what to grow for pain.

    • @pondguru
      @pondguru  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are so many causes of pain that it is best to look into what causes pain / inflammation and change diet accordingly. Many of the foods we eat cause inflammation and pain, e.g. sugar, processed foods, cereals etc. so the best way to reduce pain is to change diet.
      Basically everything we've been taught about diet at school is wrong.
      We need more meat, fat and protein and less vegetable oils. Our minds and bodies are being destroyed by vegetable oils and processed food so going back to a simpler diet is the key to unlocking our potential.
      If you're looking for an ingredients list when choosing what to buy simply reject anything that has any ingredients and you'll be as healthy as the Amish.
      Everything should be cooked from scratch and while that's not always possible to do we should all be striving to use proper meat, home-grown vegetables and our own harvested / grown herbs and spices.
      Pain is generally a symptom of pharmaceuticals - avoid any pharmaceuticals, grow food and cook with proper ingredients. The pain will no longer be an issue.
      Prevention is always better than 'cure'.
      I've been torn open many times, stitched up and I've broken or dislocated almost every bone / joint in my body due to my careless attitude to dangerous hobbies but I take no pharmaceuticals at the age of 50+ - and I have no pain (even in the English Winter) since I don't have inflammation from processed muck, sugar or convenience food.
      Maybe my pain tolerance has increased over the years but I'm sure my improved diet has lots to do with how I feel. I feel better now than I did in my 20's and 30's - that's not the generally accepted norm but every pharmaceutical has a side effect. I'd rather not have the side effects of the chemical poisons.
