I am a great believer that the cure for an illnes is often close by.
In the sub tropical mountains of New South Wales there is a stinging tree that if you brush against it it causes terrible pain.
Under the tree is another plant that when you rub its foliage against the wound the pain immediately goes.
I had an uncle that had cancer of the bowel and was given a short time to live.
This was back in the thirties and he was virtually sent home to die.
He started to purge himself every morning with epsom salts.
He lived for many years.
I know this to be true because my mother told me.
