Yerba Mansa
Yerba Mansa is the greatest of all
the blood cleansers. It is three times
more effective than Golden Seal, Echinacea,
Dandelion and the others. It sets up
the blood flow and maintains a constant
and steady flow of blood. It causes
the blood to absorb oxygen at a much
greater rate than it would normally.
This is one of the reasons the tribes
of runners could run so far. They started
drinking Yerba Mansa when they were
about 6 or 7 years old. After about
10 years of this they built up a blood
system and lung capacity that was outstanding.
The herbs of the Aztecs and Mayans.

As
told by Lee Nelson
White Deer |
Yucca
One of the greatest of the Indian
herbs. In studying to be a Medicine
man 1 full year is spent learning
about Yucca. Works very much on the
spiritual aspect of the person.
Contains a suporum, a green dust that
is in the leaf and root. This causes
the desert to operate. Without Yucca,
ther would be no desert. If there
is Yucca, the suporum opens the ground
and allows the moisture to penetrate.
Otherwise it just runs off. |
