Aromatic Herbs Oregano, Rosemary, Sage & Thyme The aromatic herbs oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme possess complementary qualities Each has a different specialization, and when you consume them all on a regular basis (whether in diet, supplementation, or a combination), their disease-fighting phytochemical compounds and extremely high levels of a broad spectrum of minerals provide a well-rounded, powerful defense against the pathogenic world (Parsley is another aromatic herb covered in this book, and it gets its own feature, because it’s more of an individual.) Aromatic herbs get much of their power from being very close to wild, even when cultivated They need very little care to establish themselves and thrive; when they’re neglected, they’re still able to miraculously get what they need to provide you with the high levels of nutrients you need It is unknown to scientific communities that aromatic herbs release an antifungal compound from their roots that earthworms love The roots of aromatics become a gathering place for earthworms, as the worms ingest this antifungal to keep themselves healthy In return, the earthworms aerate the soil around the roots and leave behind a rich fertilizer that can’t be matched This symbiosis is what gives aromatic herbs their unique healing properties (If you grow these herbs in pots, or if you don’t have earthworms in your garden, make sure you use a mineral solution and enough organic fertilizer.) Here’s a closer look at each of these standout aromatics: Oregano: Amazing for killing off unproductive bacteria such as H pylori, Streptococcus, and E coli, which minimizes the possibility of SIBO, peptic ulcers, strep throat, ear infections, and sinusitis Oregano oil is an incredible antibacterial, especially for killing off the E coli that causes diverticulitis and diverticulosis It’s also effective against ringworm Rosemary: Another antibacterial, rosemary specializes in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as those that take hold in hospitals Bringing this herb into your diet is a game changer if you’re dealing with the sorts of bacteria (such as C difficile and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA) that can result in conditions such as megacolon, severe infection, and can even lead to death Sage: This herb’s nature is geared toward fighting fungus Consuming sage is wonderful for healing fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and jock itch from the inside out, as well as tackling mutant strains of fungus in the intestinal tract If you’ve been exposed to toxic mold, turn to sage to help detoxify Also, sage helps remove toxic heavy metals from the intestinal tract Thyme: This antiviral’s main job is to destroy viruses such as the flu, enteroviruses, norovirus, and the whole gamut of herpetic viruses that are responsible for autoimmune disease and Lyme disease (For more on Lyme, see the extensive chapter on the subject in my first book.) Thyme’s ability to cross the blood- brain barrier makes it a secret weapon against viruses that have started to attack the brain or spinal cord, resulting in neurological conditions CONDITIONS If you have any of the following conditions, try bringing aromatic herbs into your life: H pylori infection; Streptococcus infection; E coli infection; small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO); peptic ulcers; strep throat; ear infections; sinusitis; diverticulitis; diverticulosis; ringworm; megacolon; C difficile infection; MRSA; influenza; enteroviruses; norovirus; Epstein-Barr (EBV)/mononucleosis; cytomegalovirus (CMV); Lyme disease; all Lyme disease cofactors (including Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia, and mycoplasma); respiratory infections; gum infections; tinnitus; vertigo; cholera; sciatica; fibromyalgia; chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS); lupus; psoriatic arthritis; multiple sclerosis (MS); shingles; rheumatoid arthritis (RA); edema; migraines; herpes simplex (HSV-1); herpes simplex (HSV-2); HHV-6; HHV-7; HHV-8; HHV-9; the undiscovered HHV-10, HHV-11, and HHV-12; shingles; pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); B cell disease; bacterial infections; eye infections; ammonia permeability SYMPTOMS If you have any of the following symptoms, try bringing aromatic herbs into your life: Stomachaches, food allergies, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, discharge (e.g., vaginal or from the eyes), flatulence, nausea, cough, anxiousness, itching, blisters, rashes, headaches, anal itching, mold exposure, all neurological symptoms (including tingles, numbness, spasms, twitches, nerve pain, and tightness of the chest), appendix inflammation, blisters, bladder pain, balance issues, clogged ears, congestion, ear pain, excess mucus, fever, jaw pain, neuralgia EMOTIONAL SUPPORT In the stressful times we live in, it’s understandable when emotional reactions are heightened When heightened emotional response becomes chronic, though, and you can’t get yourself out of a cycle of overreacting, turn to oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme These herbs help break the cycle of feeling consistently overstimulated, so that you can take what comes on more of an even keel SPIRITUAL LESSON These aromatic herbs have been around in one form or another, one species or another, since the beginning of humankind All this time, they’ve been right there beside us, adapting along with the changing world so that we can adapt, too Oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme are important teachers this way—they remind us of who we are and who we can become What else in your life, whether a longtime hobby or long-term relationship, can you always count on to cut out the distractions and connect you back with your most essential self? TIPS Remind yourself to use these aromatic herbs in your daily cooking Experiment with how many of your mainstay dishes can benefit from a sprinkle of oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme Try incorporating the essential oils of these herbs into your daily life for cleansing of mind, body, and soul For example, add essential oil of rosemary to a bath to ignite the water’s purification process HERB-BATTERED ROOT VEGETABLE FRIES Makes 3 to 4 servings These may be the best veggie fries you’ll ever eat The trick is to boil the root vegetables and then shake them vigorously before baking The herbs and garlic generously coat the outside and the smudged edges will turn crispy in the oven If you’re pressed for time, you can omit the extra steps and send them straight to the oven, though those few extra minutes will yield truly amazing results Make a big enough batch to share—these won’t last long! 3 pounds assorted root vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and celery root) 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 teaspoon sea salt 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic 1 tablespoon each finely minced sage, oregano, rosemary, and thyme Preheat the oven to 400°F Peel and slice the root vegetables into “fries.” Transfer the vegetable fries to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil Boil the fries for 5 to 7 minutes, until just cooked through but not soft (Watch carefully so as not to overcook.) Drain the water Add the coconut oil, sea salt, garlic, and herbs to the fries and stir briefly Cover the pot and shake vigorously until the fries are well mixed with their edges slightly mashed Line a baking tray with parchment paper Arrange the fries on the tray so none are overlapping Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through Remove when the edges turn golden and crispy Cat’s Claw While inflammation has been pinpointed as a part of persistent illness, what has yet to be discovered by medical research is the real story about why this inflammation is present in the first place So often the viral explosion in our modern world is to blame Various strains and varieties of the Epstein-Barr virus, shingles, HHV-6, and other herpetic viruses, along with bacteria and parasites, are behind a great many people’s suffering To get rid of this widespread inflammation and the other debilitating symptoms of chronic illness, we have to get rid of the pathogens Enter cat’s claw, the herb also known by the Spanish name uña de gato Cat’s claw is one of the most powerful resources for reversing the epidemic of chronic and mystery illness in the 21st century Cat’s claw can aid in alleviating almost any symptom, from neurological to digestive While cat’s claw has gotten some attention for its healing properties, it is as yet unknown to science that the herb contains bioactive pharma-compounds that supersede synthetic pharmaceuticals All too often, antibiotics are employed against certain illnesses such as Lyme disease The world would be a different place if cat’s claw took the place of antibiotics; the rate of illness would reduce, and recovery would quicken, regardless of the diagnosis for a given illness Of course, pharmaceutical antibiotics have their place and purpose Cat’s claw is unique, though, in that pathogens such as bacteria cannot become resistant to it, as they sometimes can to antibiotics Parasites such as Babesia and bacteria such as Bartonella cannot withstand the wrath of cat’s claw The herb eliminates these and other bugs without the so-called Herxheimer die-off reaction so common with antibiotics, because the bioactive pharma-compounds in the herb regulate the destruction of pathogens so that it’s at a level the individual person can tolerate Cat’s claw is also incredible at fighting viruses Eventually medical research will discover a group of antiviral adaptogens, and scientists will realize that cat’s claw is at the top of that list The herb is the ultimate secret weapon for battling PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections), ALS, strep throat, MS, mystery aches and pains, and more Cat’s claw is also remarkable for its ability to rid the body of the infamous strep, which is frequently misdiagnosed as yeast or Candida Millions of women go on antibiotics and antifungals that only end up making problems worse, because the Streptococcus bacteria that causes urinary tract infections is so often antibiotic-resistant Cat’s claw lowers strep without issue, making it the ultimate UTI-alleviating herb and a fundamental tool of our time Note that if you’re pregnant or trying to conceive, keep cat’s claw out of your medicinal regimen CONDITIONS If you have any of the following conditions, try bringing cat’s claw into your life: Every type of cancer;
