WOOLLEY PROPHECY

I cannot fully vouch for this, but it seems to be coming about shortly as we will have foreign troops on our soil within the next 2-15 years according to my estimates:

THE VISION OF LORIN C. WOOLLEY (1886)

In about the year 1886, after having retired to rest, all of a sudden I appeared to be standing on a high range of mountains, from which point I could see a cordon of Elders reaching from Yucatan, South America, north to the Arctic regions. Then there appeared a black cloud in the Balkans traveling westward. It only reached to the shores of the United States when it seemed to stop and go back to its starting point. Then it came again and covered all the eastern part of the United States and north into Canada. As I looked, I saw what appeared to be large birds (now interpreted as being airplanes) emerge from the dark cloud; also horseless carriages appeared, (automobiles) all loaded principally with women, travelling westward. We made no attempt to stop them.

As the cloud traveled westward, groups of men holding the Priesthood seemed to run in circles, one in the center of each group, rebuking the cloud through prayer. The cloud would stop and start again and it made headway until it reached the Missouri River west of Independence. At this point, three groups of Elders with three men, (instead of one as before) in the center of each group, formed in circles, one group being in Canada, one group in the United States, and one in Mexico, (Lorin Woolley being in the center of the center circle). As we prayed, the cloud went back. I could see clearly from Yucatan to the frozen north.

A black cloud also arose over the Pacific Ocean and traveled eastward as far as the Sierra Mountains, where it was arrested, not reaching Utah.

In relating the above to President John Taylor and others of the brethren, President Taylor said the vision showed two wars, the first reaching only to the Eastern shores of the United States, while the second would reach to the shores of the Missouri River. The Asiatics [LDSguy's comment: Chinese and/or North Korean??] will overrun the Western Coast, but will not be able to hold it. He said, "It will be a war of desolation."

LIBYA LAUNCHING NUCLEAR MISSILE TOWARDS ISRAEL - BEGINNING OF WWIII

Considering what is going on in Libya, current events there concern me greatly. If this dog is cornered, he may do something rash if he has a Shahab missile from Iran parked somewhere. Hate to judge a guy by his pic, but that sack looks disgusting; evil incarnate....

Here are the words of Sarah Menet....the bolded text below being VERY TROUBLING INDEED!!!

As I tried to look away from my black surroundings, a small light started to shine in front of me, and the darkness, sounds and feelings that had so completely oppressed me started to fade into the background. The light grew bigger, and a window opened up much the same as when I had witnessed my life's review. This time however, a panoramic view of the entire earth lay before me. It came closer and closer as if I had been out in space and was flying toward it.

I knew what was happening was intended to help me make my decision about going back to the earth and my terrible life. A part of me wanted to go back to the beautiful spirit world, or paradise, that I had seen, and another part of me felt the need to be reunited with my body so I could change my life. It was a tug-of-war, and what I was about to see was to help me understand what I would be going through if I chose to go back to my 'body of clay.'

Again the view before me played out like a videotape in fast forward motion, and yet I could see the scene in perfect clarity and was able to comprehend everything that transpired. As the earth zoomed up into my view, I first saw the whole world, and then various countries. It was made clear to me that in the future there would be wars and troubles, including nuclear attacks in various places of the world, and a view of how it would start was given.

I am not familiar with the geography of the world, but as I looked a the various lands before my view I instinctively knew what countries they were. Looking at the Middle East, I watched as a missile flew from Libya and hit Israel. The mushroom cloud that resulted from the blast was visible, and I knew that the missile contained a nuclear bomb. I was aware that those responsible for the missile were Iranian, but the missile had been hidden and fired from within the borders of Libya.

Almost immediately after this, other missiles began flying from one country to another, quickly spreading war around the world. I also saw that many nuclear explosions did not come from missiles but from bombs of some kind on the ground.

My focus then changed from the Middle East to the United States, and I understood that I was about to see some of the things that would lead up to the nuclear holocaust that I had just witnessed.

As I looked upon the continent of North America, I zeroed in on the eastern coast and then on New York specifically. I saw New York City with all of its people and buildings. I then saw some tall buildings crashing to the earth surrounded by tremendous amounts of smoke, dust, and debris.

I zoomed in closer into the smoke and dust, and I saw a woman holding a little girl's hand and running from the crashing buildings. The woman had long dark hair, hanging past her shoulders and curled inward slightly. She wore a beige business suit, heels of a slightly darker color, perhaps tan, and she was not wearing glasses. The little girl appeared to be about 6 or 7 years old with short brown hair reaching below the chin and cut in a type of pageboy look. They ran together, holding hands and trying to escape from the falling buildings. As they ran through the heavy smoke and dust, they were forced to let go of their hands and became separated. The child was terrified, and I could hear her screaming, "Mommy, mommy!" over and over again.

I don't know their outcome, if they lived or died, but I can still see the face of the woman clearly and could easily identify her from a photo or describe her to a sketch artist. I asked if an earthquake had caused the buildings to fall and felt impressed that the answer was no. However, I was not given any indication as to the cause of the destruction. (Incidentally, I told this story many, many times before September 11, 2001. When I did see on television the World Trade Center towers collapsing, I knew that this was what I had seen.

Me personally, I am not terribly worried about the developments in Japan (although I did go rifle through my preps looking for them a few days ago just in case....), but I did have those distinct feelings two years ago to get my KI pills ordered and ready for my own family - and many others. The Spirit bore distinct witness that this preparation would save lives (of children) where the other less-critical items of the $40K I spent on preps were just window dressing, relatively speaking. I only stopped at 400 pills because I was running low on $$. There will be some things that will save lives (besides stored food that is not contaminated.....) when things become desperate - and those pills are among those items.

Heaven help us all!!

THE OVERFLOWING SCOURGE - WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO DEFEAT IT?

I have been grinding away on this one for quite some time now and feel some level of confidence in presenting some information on what it is and how it is to be defeated.

This scourge will be the modern day equivalent of what the Egyptians endured when God's chosen people were oppressed (I am confident enough in what I have gathered to say that this scourge will largely affect males and those who have put the Word of Wisdom at naught - you will have to dig into the blog to figure the reasoning out). God's chosen people will once again be oppressed to the point that "the more righteous among them cries day and night until deliverance comes...". At some juncture in that series of events, there will be a scourge released that will sweep the ungodly and those who hate the truth from off the face of the land in preparation for the return of the Ten Tribes and for the remnant of Joseph to complete their works of destruction among the remaining wicked gentiles.

Here is an interesting quote that talks about the desolating scourge:

Millennial Star:
This generation shall be visited by an overflowing scourge. Of the precise nature of it we are not informed. It shall pass over the nations night and day. The affect of this visitation will be so direful and calamitous that the reports of its terrible ravages will fill all people with vexation. The operations of this fear-inspiring and destructive agent will continue until the appearance of the Lord in his glory.
Some of the judgment are definite as to locality. As an instance may be cited the approaching disruption of the Unites States of America. One of the horrors announced by the prophet upon that nation is now a matter of history the war of the Rebellion. Another and more appalling condition awaits that ill-fated people. It shall fall upon them like the visitation of a whirlwind, sweeping the country like a mighty flood. The populace will be divided into innumerable factions, and blood, carnage and woe will be rampant among them, filling the hearts of the more peacefully disposed with fear and dismay. Many will laugh at such a prediction, but, unless the people repent, it will come as surely as night follows day. Weakened and powerless from internal broils and disturbances, the nation will become a prey to the remnants left of the aboriginal inhabitants, who will be filled with vengeful rage at the wrongs that have been perpetrated upon them and furiously spread destruction in every direction. 13 Sept., 1880, p. 584-587.

So what is to be done about this? Who will remain after it is passed?? According to Sarah Menet, it will be a man-made scourge delivered at key cities in a terroristic manner - one of them will be SLC. If I am reading the John Taylor vision correctly, it will (be biologically engineered to) affect mostly men, thus effecting (in my opinion) the Isaiah prophecy about seven women taking hold of one man.... (click on colored text to read in context). There is another quote here from Wilford Woodruff that seems to back this viewpoint up: Vision of WW

The cure may well have been spelled out by Brigham Young, as follows:

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium);
(Compositae)


Dr. Christopher said that Yarrow is one of the greatest diaphoretic
herbs. It will raise the heat of the body, equalize the circulation
and produce perspiration, when taken hot. Dr. Christopher reminded
us that the old herbalists stated that " the home without Yarrow will
have death therein when the plagues come " .

Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet, said that in the last days,
people will be blessed who know how to use Yarrow.

Dr. Christopher recalled that during the great influenza epidemic of
1918, about twenty million people died the world over, two million
being in the United States.
He remembered that as a boy people were not allowed to go out in
public during the
epidemic without wearing surgical masks. If you were found without
the mask, you could be arrested.
" We have been warned that during the plagues yet to come we will
have far worse influenza epidemics than in the past. People will die
in such large numbers that these epidemics will fulfill prophecies
that black crepe would be on nearly ever door. You can have one of
the few homes wherein " `death does not visit' if you will see that
your family rebuilds their bodies by proper eating, staying on the
mucusless
diet, and having Yarrow or some other good diaphoretic herbs on had
at all times "
(Herbalist: 1:6:196).

Dr. Christopher taught the standard herbalist's view of fever, that
it is a signal of malfunction happening in the body, so one must
turn to the cause to get rid of it.

If you suppress the fever with aspirin or some other
drug, the heart has to work that much harder to pump not only the
original toxicity from the body, but also the corpses of the germs.

This can damage the heart, the kidneys, the nervous system, the
circulatory system--all of the body--and eventually result in
rheumatoid arthritis, crippling arthritis, muscular dystrophy,
multiple sclerosis, and other similar ailments (Ibid.).

When there are toxic materials in the body, germs enter. These live
on the dead materials. The body builds a fever for incubation and
multiplication of the germs, because the more germs that there are,
the faster
toxins are removed from the body. The germs must have moist heat to
reproduce quickly.

Without a great deal of added moisture, the body dehydrates itself
trying to furnish the moisture needed. This can
result in a dry fever, which can kill.

With a moist fever, however,the fever can go higher and higher,
causing more and more germs to consume the toxins in the body. When
the body is clean, the germs leave because there are no more toxins
left to live on; they will not consume healthy cell structure and
cannot hurt the healthy human body.

During the fever, liquids must be given to the patient, such
as juices, herb teas, and distilled water.

Yarrow tea, among the diaphoretics, is especially useful because it
raises the temperature naturally, opens the pores for waste to
escape, and promotes perspiration. As long as moisture is going into
the body and
perspiration is occurring, there is little damage that can be done
by fevers.

This sweating, or diaphoresis, is essential to healing in such a
situation--and in many others--because if the pores of the skin are
closed, the bloodstream soon becomes impure, poisoning the whole
system.

Dr. Christopher taught that no matter where the trouble may
be in the body, provided the general circulation is involved, you
can dramatically help the situation by diaphoresis.

This is why Yarrow is so valuable. He cited that inflammation of the
lungs,
pleurisy, peritonitis, inflammation in the stomach, spleen, bowels,
kidneys, bladder, uterus or brain--everywhere in the body--can be
healed by diaphoretic treatment.

One of the most dramatic treatments Dr. Christopher recommended is
his Cold Sheet Treatment. Although it is detailed elsewhere, the
reader might benefit from a brief rehearsal of the procedure here.
lie said that when the epidemics come, you will be able to save many
lives that would otherwise be lost without this remarkable aid.

It can be used safely in any inflammatory disease, on anyone, from
newly-born infants to the very aged.
Dr. Loretta Foote, formerly Dr. Christopher's staff obstetrician,
never lost a full-term baby in all
her years of practice, even when they were born with respiratory
congestion, or even pneumonia.
She used the cold sheet treatment on cases when the babies were only
minutes or hours old.

This treatment is commenced by giving the patient an enema, which
Dr. Christopher said should only be done in an emergency, such as a
high fever.

Cold tea, such as catnip, mint, Yarrow, red raspberry,etc., or cold
water may be used. A hot enema relaxes the lower bowel
and anus area, causing them to expand and quickly void, but the cold
will contract the area and retain the liquid until it soaks further
into the encrusted and hardened fecal matter to ensure a large
evacuation.

After this enema, a small enema called an injection is given. You
make the liquid for this by placing in a blender container one to
two cups apple cider vinegar and water in equal amounts.
Turn the blender on and add several peeled cloves of garlic. Do not
make this too thick to go through the neck of the enema syringe. If
no blender is available, chop or grate the garlic finely and mix
with cool or cold water and apple cider vinegar mixture. Have the
patient lie with his buttocks elevated with pillows or padding and
inject the garlic tea into the rectum, having the patient hold it in
as long as possible (ten to fifteen minutes) before voiding it.
Babies can be
given the enema and diapered, allowed to toddle or crawl if they
wish, or to be held. They usually retain this injection for the
required length of time and, interestingly, the garlic aroma appears
on their breath within just a few minutes.

Then place the patient in a hot tub, as hot as possible without
scalding the skin.
To this hot tub add one ounce of ginger, one ounce of cayenne, and
one ounce of dry mustard, all in powdered form. Be sure to coat the
mucous membranes of the genitalia with vaseline or some other low-
vibration ointment so that the herbs will not cause stinging and
pain. Stir the bath well and have the patient sit and sweat.

These herbs open the pores of the body to allow oxygen in liquid
form to enter and the poisons and toxic materials to be dispersed.
While the patient is in the tub, give him one or
more cups of hot Yarrow tea, which will cause him to sweat even
more.

If your patient is a child, you can give camomile tea, which
has a more acceptable taste to children.
Even a baby bottle of the tea can be given. Although in infections
it is preferable not to
give the tea sweetened, for children it may be necessary to lightly
sweeten the tea, perhaps with sweet herb (Stevia).

The person may eventually tell you that he is tired; you can tell
when children get tired as they seem limp. Have him stand up and
wrap around him a large, wet sheet taken out of cold water or ice
water.
Pin it down the side from neck to feet. Squeeze out some of
the water before putting on the sheet so it will not trail water as
the person is walked or carried to bed. Have the bed prepared with a
rubber sheet or plastic sheet over the mattress. Cover this with a
dry cotton sheet and lay the patient on the sheet, covered with
another cotton sheet, and the then natural-fiber blankets, well-
tucked in.

Do not use synthetics during any part of this treatment,
as they will not allow the toxins to escape.
When the patient is tucked into bed, uncover his feet and oil them
thoroughly with olive oil.

While you do this, you can give a short acupressure treatment
all over the foot to help speed the healing. Then apply garlic
paste, which has been previously prepared by mincing or mashing
several cloves of garlic and mixing them with olive oil to make an
ointment.

This should be applied a half to three-fourths inch thick
all over the soles of the feet and bound lightly with gauze or two-
inch strips of old cotton sheets. Pull over this a large white
cotton or wool sock, pin the wet sheet over the bottom and let him
go to sleep.
He will sleep well from the effects of the Yarrow tea.
The next morning he will want to get up and be active, because he
feels so well from the cleansing.

Take him out of bed and sponge him down with a half-and-half
combination of warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water to
remove the perspiration on the body. Freshen the bed, put clean
pajamas on the person, and have him rest.

If he is hungry, do not give heavy foods, but only herb teas, water,
or fruit or vegetable juices, having him swish them around in the
mouth to mix well with the saliva.

The large sheet used in the treatment will likely be stained with
various colors, depending on what the patient had taken
into his system: black from coal tar (aspirin and other medicines
made from tar),
yellow from inorganic sulphur (sulfa drugs, cooked eggs, preserved
fruits, etc.,) green from arsenic in medicine and
sprayed foods, red from iodine, purple from potassium permanganate,
brown from coffee, chocolate, tobacco, and so on.

These toxins accumulated in the body and slowed down healing for
years. Although it is too bad to have them in the sheet, they are
better there than in the person's body!

After the body is cleansed, you can be sure to maintain health by
proper diet, air, water, clothing, exercise and balanced activity.

MILFOIL

Yarrow is one of the ancient herbs. It originated in Europe, but was
introduced in the United States and now it is fully naturalized. It
grows everywhere freely except in the Southwest, and is particularly
common in the Eastern portion the States.

In Europe, it has long been valued as an important medicinal herb.
Dioscorides said that it will help recent inflamed ulcers, being
smeared on green. It was also given for epilepsy, with water and
salt.

Yarrow was formerly much esteemed as a wound herb, and its old names
of Soldier's Wound Wort and Knight's Milfoil testify to this. It was
also called Herba Militaris, all of which suggest that it was used
as a ready-to-hand field bandage for battle wounds, " although its
value for stanching flows of blood is doubtful, " claims one
herbalist (Coon:46). Gerard
says that it is the same plant with which Achilles stanched bleeding
of his solider, hence the name of the genus, Achillea.

Others saythat it was discovered by a certain Achilles, Chiron's
disciple. It specific name, millefolium, is derived from the many
segments of its
foliage, hence also its popular name, Milfoil or Thousand Weed.


The name Old Man's Pepper refers to the astringent quality of the
herb and the fact that it has been employed as a snuff. In the
seventeenth century, it was also used as an ingredient in salad,
although that doesn't correspond to our modern tastes today: the
taste of the herb is much too biting and astringent to us.

Linnaeus recommended the bruised herb, fresh as an excellent
vulnerary and styptic.

It is employed in Norway for the cure of rheumatism, and the fresh
leaves chewed are said to cure toothache.
In England, the herb has been made into an ointment for wounds, and
a tea is taken for melancholy. In Russia, it is used for bleeding,
stomach problems, coughs and colds, liver problems, dysentery and
nervousness.

The American Indians were extremely aware of this herb, and many
tribes had specific uses for it. This brings to question, of course,
the claim that our species are all naturalized from Europe.
Some say
that the western species are different from the European, and other
disagree, saying that they are the same species. Since they are
alike in medicinal values, it doesn't really matter, but we prefer
to think that the plant was distributed everywhere by the Lord for
the use of man wherever they are.

One very early report says that Yarrow was used in cuts by the
Illinois and Miami tribes. The Paiutes made a tea of Yarrow to be
taken internally for weak and disordered stomachs; they also used
the herb for headaches, crushing the green leaves and applying
externally.

The decoction was also used internally for headaches,
and as a blood tonic (especially after childbirth), as a cold
remedy, a kidney aid, a venereal aid, and externally as a poultice
on swellings and sores, eyewash, a wash for fevers, a toothache
remedy and a treatment for collar sores on horses. The Ute name for
this plant signifies " wound medicine, " and they applied it
externally on bruises, and used it as a tea in sicknesses of various
kinds.

It grows freely in the mountains of their territory. The
Winnebagos used an infusion of Yarrow to bathe swellings and treat
earache; they also sometimes put a wad of the crushed leaves into
the ear for earache. The Chickasaws used it as a remedy for cramp in
the neck. The Meskwakis boiled it for application externally to any
ailing part, and used the leaves and flowers for fevers and flu.

They also used the leaves as a poultice for rash in children, and
the fresh tops to rub on eczema sores. The Pillager Ojibwas used the
florets for ceremonial smoking and as a fumigant to break fever. The
flowers were placed on coals and the fumes were inhaled to break the
fever.
The Potawatomis used them as a fumigant to ward off evil
spirits and to revive a comatose patient. The Flambeau used an
external application for poisonous spider bites. The Montagnais used
it to break fevers as did the Fox tribe, who also used it as an
antirheumatic.

The Aleuts used it for stomach and throat pain and as
a dermatological aid, especially for nose bleed. The Kwakiutls
chewed or soaked the plant and heated it for a poultice to be used
on swellings.
The Shoshone tribe used the freshly-mashed leaves on swellings and
sores; they used the freshly-mashed roots on painful
wounds. The decoction was used by the Shoshones against diarrhea and
rheumatism, and as a wash for itching, relief of indigestion, colic,
and toothache.

The Zunis used a burn dressing poultice of Yarrow
before fire eating or fire walking, and used the infusion on burns.

The Chippewas used a decoction of the leaves, steamed and inhaled
for headache, as a stimulant for horses; the decoction was used for
skin eruptions.
The Gitksans used a decoction of the root as a gargle for sore
throat. The Menominees used the dried and powdered
leaves for a poultice in swellings and sores, and a poultice of the
fresh leaves for rash in children.

The Mohegan tribe used the decoction as a liver and kidney aid and
as an appetite stimulant.
These varied but related uses suggest that Yarrow grew freely
throughout America where the tribes lived (early informants insisted
that it is a native herb), and that empirical use among the tribes
establishes well the efficacy of Yarrow.

The herb was official in the United States Pharmacopeia from 1863-
82, used as a tonic, stimulant and emmenagogue. Interestingly, it
was formerly brought to weddings to ensure seven years love.

Other names for the plant include thousand-leaved, thousand seal,
dog daisy, knight's milfoil, ladies' mantle, and noble yarrow.

FEVER HERB

Yarrow was one of Dr. Christopher's favorite herbs; he listed it
among his Ten Honorable Herbs under the category of diaphoretic. It
is widely recommended by many herbalists for feverish diseases.

" It is often used by peasants as a substitute for quinine, and it
quite as effective and far safer than that drug " (Levy:Common:160).
It is
sometimes called " Englishman's quinine " , and has been thought to be
especially effective in cases of chills and fever. There are various
preparations of Yarrow which will effect this breaking up of fever.

Dr. Christopher said that drinking the hot infusion, alone or in
combination with other herbs, such as elder flowers and peppermint.

If you wrap the patient's feet in flannel that has been wrung out in
apple cider vinegar, keeping this warm with a hot water bottle, you
can break up a cold overnight or within 24 hours. You should be sure
to keep the bowels open, either using a garlic enema or giving a
dose of senna.

Once the fever is broken, keeping the bowels open ensures that the
patient heals quickly so that toxic accumulations do not
keep " feeding " the problem. Another combination that is
recommended for breaking fevers mixes a standard infusion of Yarrow
with a teaspoon of honey and three drops of Tabasco sauce. The
patient should be heavily covered. This will open the pores and
cause profuse sweating, thus eliminating toxins and relieving the
kidneys of the job of eliminating.
You can also use a dash ofcayenne or ginger to accent the action of
the Yarrow. Dr.
Christopher related that his daughter was away at summer camp and
caught a severe cold. When he went to visit her for the weekend, he
found her in bed with a high temperature, headache, and the general
symptoms of influenza, the body aching and in a most restless
condition. He saw a stand of Yarrow growing near the cabin and went
to gather a handful. He placed a bunch of the whole plant in a jug
and poured over it about one-and-a-half pints of boiling water,
covered it for about five minutes, and then poured off a cupful of
the warm tea. He gave it to his daughter, who insisted that she
would vomit if he made her drink the whole cup. He told her that if
the stomach rejected it, the result would be a cleaner stomach for
the next dose. She drank the cupful, and he poured off a second
cupful of the warm tea to give to her. She got it all down, and in a
few minutes was perspiring freely.
In half an hour she said she felt
better and in the morning she was completely recovered (SNH:2 17).
We have given the tea in influenza when the patient vomited, but
afterwards taking more tea got the same healing diaphoretic effect.
Especially since flu can last up to a week--sometimes longer--it is
amazing to have an herb that can break it up so quickly.

If you give the tea to children during the early stages of eruptive
diseases, such as measles, chicken pox, smallpox, etc., the tea will
help the disease to break out more quickly and thus shorten the
time.
Dr. Christopher recommended a mixture of Yarrow, pleurisy root
and lady's slipper (or skullcap) for the measles. Anytime there is a
fever, no matter what the disease, Yarrow can help break it and
bring the disease to a speedier ending.

For chest colds, it is sometimes recommended mixing 1 ounce of
Yarrow, ½ ounce elder flowers, ½ ounce boneset, and 1/4 ounce
licorice. These are made into a decoction and taken by the cupful
every three or four hours, going on a juice fast for a day. For head
colds, equal parts of Yarrow, sage, boneset, and echinacea are made
into infusion and taken before meals.

For bronchitis, equal parts of
Yarrow, mullein and elecampane are made into an infusion, a cupful
taken every four hours. For catarrh, which is a mucus condition in
the system, Yarrow, angelica and eyebright herb are mixed in equal
portions with a pinch of cinnamon. This is made into an infusion,
one cupful taken three times daily after each meal. In addition, if
mucus-causing foods are removed from the diet, the catarrh is often
cured of itself (Luc:Herbal:72-3).

Aside from its use as a febrifuge, Yarrow is known for many other
important applications. It is wonderful for eliminating lung
congestion, and even for stopping hemorrhage or bleeding from the
lungs (Málstrom: 107). It is sometimes mixed with comfrey for
internal hemorrhage. It is good for various forms of internal
bleeding, such as nosebleed, coughing or spitting up blood, rectal
hemorrhoidal bleeding, bloody urine, and excessive menstruation
(Lust:272).

It is very often recommended for external applications, as it is
reputed to act as a styptic, stopping the flow of blood from a
wound. " It can be applied directly to wounds to stop bleeding and is
used in making a bolus or salve for bleeding piles " (Tie: 121). For
piles and hemorrhoids, use an enema of the tea after the bowels have
been cleansed with a plain water enema. Also inject two
tablespoonfuls several times a day, and after each stool. When there
is a bad condition of piles and hemorrhoids, take a cleansing and
then a Yarrow enema each day. When there is much pain have the water
112 to 155 degrees F. (Kloss:333). Ulcers and soft tumors are said
to respond to an application of the ointment.

" Animal studies have
shown that extracts of Yarrow can reduce inflammation and that they
have a calming effect. Thus, the use of the juice of this plant for
the treatment of ulcers and hemorrhoids has a rational basis.

Extracts of Yarrow are also known to have antibiotic effects when
evaluated in test tubes. Thus, at least for external application,
one would expect that a person suffering from boils or other
microbial infections of a minor nature would receive beneficial
results by the external application of Yarrow preparations
(Weiner:206). Yarrow leaves, chewed, are said to sometimes relieve
the pain of a toothache.

For earache, apply some of the strong infusion quite hot to the
ears, and insert a few drops of the cooler brew. In addition, the
crushed leaves, well-wanned, can be placed in each ear (Levy:
Common: 160). This might be a good remedy to know if you need to
treat an earache and are away from herbal supplies.

Yarrow has long been recommended for women's troubles. It relieves
cramps and helps control excessive menstrual bleeding when taken as
a warm infusion (Tie:121). It is good for controlling leucorrhea, or
the whites, by taking internally and by using as a douche, the cool
infusion being used. It lessens the discharge in women generally. It
is also good for bringing on suppressed menstruation. You can used
the warm Yarrow tea as a sitz bath as well.

Yarrow has been long-recommended for dyspepsia and all digestive
problems. " The use of decoctions or infusions of Yarrow flowers as a
tonic has been studied experimentally in humans, and it has been
confirmed that gastric juices are stimulated by the oral ingestion
of extracts of this plant. This would lead to a tonic effect with
improved digestion of foods. The effect is due to the presence of
bitter principles (azulenes, sesquiterpenes) in the flowers "
(Weiner:206).

In Russia it is recognized for stomach troubles and as
an appetizer. It is much used by the Swiss as a bitter tea for use
as a stomach cordial or appetite tonic (Luc:Magic:49). It is also
thought of as a specific cure for nausea. It is good for
strengthening the liver and gall bladder, being especially noted for
stimulating the flow of the bile (Lust:272).

This is good to know,
because many holistic practitioners recommend using a coffee enema
for tripping the gall bladder reflex. Putting the poison caffeine
into the system through an enema is just as dangerous as taking it
internally in coffee; Yarrow would seem a much preferable
alternative.

Yarrow has also been recommended in pancreas problems,
including Bright's disease and diabetes. It is sometimes given
internally for colic and gas pains. It is especially good for
diarrhea and dysentery, used internally and given as an injection;
infants particularly respond to this treatment. Urinary irritations
often respond to the internal use of Yarrow tea.

The tea can be applied to chapped hands or other skin irritations,
and it can be rubbed on sore nipples if needed.

In the Doctrine of Signatures, the finely-segmented leaves of this
plant and its profuse growth suggested to ancient users to claim
that each leaf is equal to a thousand uses.

The root stock, which is creeping, indicates its thorough blood-
cleansing properties.

It contains much of the blood fortifying chemicals such as iron,
calcium, potassium, sulfur, and sodium. The silky hairs on the whole
plant indicate external irritations, as we have discussed above. The
ointment of the herb has long been prepared in England with other
herbs for external applications, and in Scotland it is still highly
valued as a skin ointment (Harris: Complete: 196).


OTHER USES

For a time the Swedes used Yarrow in lieu of hops in the manufacture
of beer and claimed the beer thus brewed to be a greater intoxicant.
Combined with camomile, the herb is made into a strong infusion and
cooled, good for a hair-rinse, or to be rubbed into the scalp to
discourage baldness or failing hair.

The dried flowers are famous for their use in dried-flower
arrangements. As mentioned before, the stripped stalks are used in
divination.

In the garden, Yarrow increases the aromatic quality of all herbs.
In a small proportion, as in a border, it helps most vegetables. It
will grow in a narrow bed as it does not mind being trampled. The
hay or tea are said to be good for sheep.
The plant helps the
quality more than the size of neighboring plants, although in one
experiment it had an unusual effect upon perennial rye grass. It
strikingly cuts down the protein content in the grass, but
considerably increases the fiber content therein. But the two herbs
mixed together for pasture feed provide 40% more protein than the
grass alone, thus recommending the mixture for a high nutritional
feed for cows. Yarrow is also good to enrich the compost pile
(Phil:98-9). It is sometimes used to flavor homemade liquors.

CULTIVATION, COLLECTION, PREPARATION

You can start Yarrow from seed or by dividing the root clumps of
established plants. The decorative varieties are usually available
from nurseries, and the white medicinal kind can often be found in
mountain regions, dug from the ground and transplanted into the herb
garden. Yarrow seed will germinate in the light. Sow it on top of
fine soil and keep it moist until it germinates. Start it indoors in
March so it will be ready for harvesting in June or July. Although
fertilization is of minor importance because of Yarrow's hardiness,
annual applications of bonemeal will promote its growth. The plant
will produce a more pleasing aroma in light, sandy soils than in
heavy, clay ones (Hyl:625).

Cut the flowering plants and chop into pieces, drying rapidly at
temperatures from 90 to 100 degrees F. Slower drying may cause
darkening of the leaves.


The white medicinal variety is said to excrete a toxin to the soil
that eventually will defeat even its own growth. If you need to have
the white medicinal variety, you might grow it for a season and then
hunt it wild (Hyl:625).

You can prepare an ointment of Yarrow by placing the chopped flower
heads and leaves in olive oil, keeping in a warm oven or sunlight
for several days. Strain and press well, heat gently, and then add
enough beeswax to harden when cool.

Yarrow stores quite well in a cool, dry, air-tight situation.

DESCRIPTION

This common roadside herb grows to 6 to 20 inches high, from a
slender, creeping, perennial root, which, beside a multitude of
filiform rootlets, gives off several long, reddish stolons. The stem
is simple or nearly so, erect, slightly grooved and roughly hairy.
The leaves are alternate; those from the near the root wide-
petioled, two to six inches long; those of the stem proper shorter,
sessile or nearly so, and all in their general outline more or less
lanceolate oblong, twice pinnately-parted, the divisions linear,
crowded and three-to-five cleft. The peduncles number three or more;
the pedicels are many, forming small, crowded, flat-topped corymbs
at the summit of the plant. The flower heads are many-flowered and
radiate. The involucel consists of two to three imbricated rows of
ovoid-oblong scales, with a prominent midrib and brownish, scarious
edges. The rays are four or five, pistillage, with a short, obovate,
reflexed limb. The corolla is tubular, the summit slightly inflated,
five lobed, the lobes revolute, acute. The stamens are five,
inserted upon the tube, and rising slightly above the face of the
corolla. The anthers are adnate, without tails at the base. The
style is long, upright, slender, rising above the anthers. The
stigma is two-cleft, the divisions recurved and fringed at their
tips. The receptacle is small, usually flat and chaffy
(Millspaugh:335).

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Oil of achillea has a taste similar to the herb itself. Achilleic
acid is also attributed its medicinal action. Both the flowers and
leaves contain an aromatic volatile oil which is blue in color owing
to the presence of chamazulene.

DR. CHRISTOPHER'S COMBINATIONS CONTAINING YARROW

The Desert Herb Combination contains Yarrow.

RELATED PLANTS.

A. lanulosa is considered to be the western species of Yarrow,
although it is not easy to discern from European Yarrow.

A. ptarmica, Sneezewort, was early used in medicine. It helps with
catarrh, epilepsy, and uterine problems.

A. tomentosa, the wooly yellow Yarrow, is very rare, and is thought
to be imported from Europe.

A. ageratum has tufted, oblong, serrate and clammy leaves and very
short ray floret; it is used similarly to Yarrow.

A. nobilis has a stronger taste than common Yarrow.

A. moschata is largely used in Switzerland; it has a strongly
aromatic and bitter taste and is used as a bitter.

A. atrata and A. nana are used like the other species.

JOHN TAYLOR VISION FROM WILFORD WOODRUFF'S JOURNAL

SOME BAD JUJU! IT SEEMS COMPLETELY CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE SEEN - VERY BAD BIO WARFARE WITH THE RIGHTEOUS SAINTS ( WHO HAVE KEPT THE WORD OF WISDOM) FIGURING OUT HOW TO OVERCOME IT:

John Taylor’s Last Days Vision
This is a vision John Taylor saw of events that are still to come. From the journal of Wilford Woodruff (Dec 16, 1877).
NOTE: There are some that dispute whether or not it was John Taylor that had this vision. The vision does, in fact, come from the journal of Wilford Woodruff. It is verified that it was not Wilford Woodruff that had the vision. Many believe it to be John Taylor’s vision.

I went to bed as usual at about 7:30PM. I had been read­ing a revela­tion in the French lan­guage. My mind was calm, more so than usual if possible, so I composed myself for sleep, but could not. I felt a strange feeling come over me and apparently be­came partially uncon­scious. Still I was not asleep, nor ex­actly awake, with dreary feeling. The first thing that I recognized was that I was in the tabernacle of Ogden, Utah. I was sit­ting in the back part of the build­ing for fear they would call on me to preach, which however they did, for after sing­ing the second time they called me to the stand.

I arose to speak and said that I did­n’t know that I had anything es­pecially to say, ex­cept to bear my tes­timony of the Latter-day work, when all at once it seemed as if I was lifted out of myself and I said, “Yes, I have something to say and that is this: Some of my brethren have been ask­ing, “What is be­coming of us? What is the wind blowing?” I will answer you right here what is coming very shortly.”

I was then in a dream, im­mediately in the city of Salt Lake, and wandering around in the streets and in all parts of the city, and on the doors of the houses I found badges of mourn­ing and I could not find a house but was in mourning. I passed my own house and found the same sign there, and I asked the ques­tion, “Is that me that is dead?” Someone gave me the an­swer, “No, you will get through it all.”
It seemed strange to me that I saw no person in the streets in all my wan­dering around the coun­try. I seemed to be in their houses with the sick, but saw no funeral proces­sion, nor anything of the kind, but the city looking still and as though the people were praying. And it seemed that they had controlled the dis­ease, but what the dis­ease was I did not learn; it was not made known to me. I then looked over the country, north, east, south, and west, and the same mourning was in every land and in every place.

The next thing I knew I was just this side of Omaha. It seemed though I was above the earth, and look­ing down upon it. As I passed along upon my way east I saw the road full of people, mostly women, with just what they could carry in bundles on their backs, trav­eling to the moun­tains on foot (THIS IS THE FREAKY PART!). I won­dered how they would get through with such a small pack on their backs. It was re­markable to us[?] that there were so few men among them. It didn’t seem to me as though the cars were run­ning, the rails looked rusty and the roads aban­doned; and I have no con­ception of how I traveled as I looked down upon the peo­ple.

I continued east by the way of Omaha and Council Bluffs, which were full of disease. There were women every­where. The state of Illinois and Mis­souri were in a tumult, men killing one an­other, women joining the fight­ing, fam­ily against family in the most horrid manner.

I imagined next that I was in Wash­ington and I found desola­tion there. The White House was empty and the Halls of Congress the same, and everything in ru­ins. The people seemed to have left the city and left it to take care of itself.

I was in Baltimore. In the square where the Monument of 1812 stands in front of the Char­les Hotel. I saw dead piled up so as to fill the street square. I saw mothers cutting the throats of their own children for their blood. I saw them suck it from their throats to quench their own thirst and then lie down and die. The water of Che­sapeake Bay was stagnant, and the stench arising from it on ac­count of their throw­ing their bod­ies into it so terrible, that the very smell carried death with it. I saw no man ex­cept they were dead or dying in the streets and very few women. Those I saw were crazy and in an ugly condi­tion. Everywhere I went I beheld the same sights all over the city; it was terrible be­yond description to look upon.

I thought this must be the end; but no, I was seemingly in an instant in the city of Philadel­phia. There eve­rything was still. No living soul was there to greet me. It seemed the whole city was with­out any inhabi­tants. In the south of Chestnut Street and in fact everywhere I went, the putrefaction of the dead caused such a stench that it was impos­sible for any living thing to breathe, nor did I see any living thing in the city.

Next I found myself in Broadway, in the city of New York, and there it seemed the people had done the best they could to overcome the disease, but in wandering down Broad­way I saw the bodies of beautiful women lying, some dead and oth­ers in a dy­ing condition, on the sidewalks. I saw men come out of cellars and ravish the per­sons of some that were yet alive and then kill them and rob their bodies of all the valu­ables they had upon them. Then before they could get back to the cellar they would roll over a time or two and die in ag­ony. In some of the back streets I saw them kill some of their own offspring and eat their raw flesh, and in a few minutes die them­selves. Every­where I went I saw the same scene of horror and de­struction and death and rap­ine.

No car­riages, buggies, or cars were running; but death and de­struc­tion were every­where. Then I saw fire start and just at that moment a mighty East wind sprang up and car­ried the flames over the city and it burned until there was not a sin­gle building left standing there, even down to the waters edge. Wharves and shipping all seemed to burn and follow in common destruction where the “great city” was a short time ago. The stench from the bodies that were burn­ing was so great that it was carried a long dis­tance cross the Hudson Bay and carried death and destruction wherever it pene­trated. I cannot paint in words the horror that seemed to compass me about; it was beyond description of man.

I sup­posed this was the end; but it was not. I was given to understand the same horror was being en­acted all over the coun­try, east, west, north, and south. Few were left alive, still there were some.

Immediately after I seemed to be standing on the left bank of the Mis­souri River, opposite e the City of In­de­pendence, but there was no city. I saw the whole state of Missouri and Illi­nois and all of Iowa, a complete desert with no living being there. A short dis­tance from the river how­ever, I saw twelve men dressed in temple robes, stand­ing in a square or nearly so (and I under­stood it repre­sented the Twelve Gates of the New Jerusa­lem.) Their hands were uplifted in consecration of the ground and lay­ing the corner stone of the tem­ple. I saw myraids of an­gels hovering over them, and saw also an immense pil­lar of clouds over them and heard the angels singing the most heav­enly music. The words were “Now is estab­lished the King­dom of God and his Christ, which shall never more be thrown down.”

I saw people com­ing from the river and from the desert places a long way off to help build the temple and it seemed that hosts of an­gels all helped to get material to build with and I saw some of them who wore temple clothes come and build the tem­ple and the city, and all the time I saw the great pillar of clouds hovering over the place.

Instantly, however, I found my­self again in the taber­nacle at Ogden. And yet, I could still see the building go on and I got quite animated in call­ing on the people in the tabernacle to listen to the beautiful music, for the an­gels were singing the same music I had heard be­fore. “Now is estab­lished the King­dom of God and his Christ, which shall never more be thrown down.”

At this I seemed to stagger back from the pulpit and Brother Francis D. Richards and some others caught my arm and prevented me from falling. Then I fin­ished so abruptly. Still even then I had not fainted, but was simply ex­hausted.

They I rolled over in bed and awoke just as the city clock was strik­ing twelve.

THE WORD OF WISDOM - A WORD TO THE WISE

Finally!! Something to sink my teeth into when someone asks me why caffeine is bad juju.

Read below to see the link to over 100mg of caffeine and low birth weight and miscarriage problems in pregnancy:

Even a little caffeine may harm fetus
Women should avoid more than 100 milligrams a day from any source

Most viewed on msnbc.com

updated 6:45 a.m. PT, Mon., Nov. 3, 2008
LONDON - Pregnant women who consume caffeine — even about a cup of coffee daily — are at higher risk of giving birth to an underweight baby, researchers said on Monday.

The new findings published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) also linked any source of caffeine, including that from tea, cola, chocolate and some prescription drugs, to relatively slower fetal growth.

The findings are the latest in mounting evidence indicating the amount of caffeine a person consumes may directly impact one's health, especially when pregnant.

In January, U.S. researchers found that pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day are at twice the risk of having a miscarriage as those women who avoid caffeine.

Babies born underweight are more likely to develop a range of health conditions when they grow older, including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems.

Women who drank one to two cups of coffee daily, or between 100-199 milligrams, had a 20 percent increased risk of having a baby of low birth weight, the study found. This was compared to women who consumed less than 100 milligrams daily.

"Caffeine consumption during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of fetal growth restriction and this association continued throughout pregnancy," Justin Konje at the University of Leicester in Britain and colleagues wrote.

"Sensible advice would be to reduce caffeine intake before conception and throughout pregnancy."

Limit to less than 100 milligrams a day
Konje and his team — which included researchers from the University of Leeds — looked at 2,645 women at an average age of 30 who were between 8 and 12 weeks pregnant.

The women reported an average caffeine consumption during pregnancy of 159 milligrams per day, lower than new recommended limits of 200 milligrams in Britain.

The likelihood of having a low birth weight baby rose to 50 percent for women who consumed between 200 milligrams and 299 milligrams each day, about two to three cups of coffee.

The impact was about the same as from alcohol and the association with low birth weight was maintained throughout a woman's pregnancy, the study found.

Even small amounts may prove harmful but Konje said in a telephone interview the best advice was to limit caffeine consumption to below 100 milligrams a day.

"We couldn't say that there was a lower limit for which there is no effect," he said. "My advice is if possible to reduce caffeine intake to a minimum. You have to be realistic because you can't ask people to stop taking caffeine."

HERE IS THE LATEST RESEARCH ON HOT DRINKS AND ESOPHOGEAL CANCER. MAYBE THERE WAS MORE TO "HOT DRINK" THING IN SECTION 89 THAN WE REALIZED....:

Tea: Some like it hot, but that raises cancer risk

Residents of Golestan province in northern Iran have one of the highest rates of esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma in the world. They don't drink alcohol or smoke — the two primary risk factors for the disease in the West — but they do consume tea. Lots of it. Nearly 1.2 liters a day, on average.

Is there anything left that isn't linked to cancer?

Not hot tea, apparently. An international group of scientists has connected it with esophageal cancer. The problem doesn't appear to be the tea but the temperature at which it is consumed, the study found.

Residents of Golestan province in northern Iran have one of the highest rates of esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma in the world. They don't drink alcohol or smoke — the two primary risk factors for the disease in the West — but they do consume tea. Lots of it. Nearly 1.2 liters a day, on average.

Local researchers set out looking for a connection.

They recruited 300 esophageal-cancer patients who were diagnosed at the only gastrointestinal-specialty clinic in the eastern part of Golestan and matched them up with 571 healthy controls who shared their age, gender and place of residence. All but one drank tea, and they gave interviewers information about their tea consumption and brewing habits.

Teaming up with investigators from the United States, England, France and Sweden, the researchers calculated that people who said they drank "hot" tea — 149 to 156 degrees Fahrenheit — were more than twice as likely to develop esophageal cancer as people who said they drank the beverage "warm" or "lukewarm": less than 140 degrees.

Those who said they took their tea "very hot" — at least 158 degrees — were more than eight times as likely to get esophageal cancer, according to the study, published online Thursday in BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal.

The researchers also asked people how long they waited to drink their tea after pouring it. Those who said they waited two to three minutes were nearly 2.5 times more likely to develop the cancer compared with people who said they waited at least four minutes. Impatient tea drinkers who waited fewer than two minutes were 5.4 times as likely to be diagnosed with esophageal cancer, the study found.

The study didn't assess the mechanism linking hot tea to esophageal cancer, but the researchers said the temperature of the liquid was almost certainly to blame rather than the compounds in the tea.

In an editorial accompanying the study, David Whiteman of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia, advised tea drinkers in Iran and elsewhere to simply exercise some patience and wait at least four minutes before enjoying their favorite beverage.

AND - LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THE SCOURGE IN SECTION 89 WAS REFERRING TO. I KNOW THAT WE WILL HAVE A SCOURGE AFFLICT THE SAINTS IN THE LAST DAYS AND HAVE NEVER REALLY DUG INTO WHAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY OR HOW WE MIGHT AVOID IT. NOW I HAVE SOME DEFINITIVE PROOF/ANSWER TO THAT VERY QUESTION AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT WILL BE LINKED TO COFFEE OR ALCOHOL USAGE AND THOSE WHO USE MEAT SPARINGLY AND WITH THANKSGIVING WILL FARE BETTER THAN THOSE OF THE WORLD WHO CHOOSE NOT TO OBEY GOD'S LAWS:

JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES, B YOUNG 15:193


I refer to a revelation given in the year 1833, called the Word of Wisdom. We fail to obey it to-day, and we shall fail to-morrow unless we make a short turn and determine in our own minds that we will obey it. How many of us have disregarded that revelation, in every particular? It is to be found on New HLINK 240 of the Doctrine and Covenants, and it shadows to me that a time will come in the midst of this people when a desolating scourge will pass through our ranks, and the destroying angel will be in our midst as he was in Egypt when he slew all the firstborn of the Egyptians. God says "The destroying angel shall pass by" and shall not harm you if you will observe to do these things.

THE SCOURGE WILL BE SO BAD THAT IT WILL AFFECT EVERY HOUSE - BUT THE SAINTS WHO KEEP THE LAW WILL LARGELY BE SPARED. I EXPECT THIS TO BE AN ENGINEERED BIOLOGIC THAT SOMEHOW FLOURISHES IN AN (BLOOD) ACID RICH ENVIRONMENT THAT CANCERS THRIVE IN AND THAT THE STRICT KEEPING OF THE WORD OF WISDOM VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES. IT WILL BE AN EXCITING TIME AND IT COMES SOONER THAN ANYONE ANTICIPATES.
