Cordyceps - As long as it is just the fungus and doesn't include the worm. . .fine.

Shiitake mushrooms - Awesome.

Placenta pills - *side steps away* Doesn't apply to me so. . .*continues to side step away*

Flower Blossom Tea - Always wanted to try this.

Not strange, but very effective: White Oak Bark for mouth sores or inflamed gums. It's a miracle.

I use ginger root pills to help aide digestion. Hard to find, though. A lot of places don't have it (By me, we have a CVS, a Walgreens - they have it, a Rite-Aid, and a Stop & Shop; all but one don't carry it). I can't drink ginger ale all the time (even flat), so the pill works for me.

Thanks for posting this very informative and important article. It doesn't look as if Sea Cucumbers are going to fit into the budget, but most everything else looks attainable and effective.

White onion for small children that run a high fever. This is the crazy part, cut in half (the onion) and tie to the feet of the child. It will draw the fever down. When I was small my mother used that remedy and it worked. No one wanted to be around me for a few days afterwards...lol
