There’s a wonderful liquid solution that cures just about everything if you drink it. It’s called bleach.

1. i fell down on highland boulevard in los angeles and scraped the top of my left big toe. i was running for a bus, and had no time and nowhere to clean the scrape, which didn't bleed, until i got to my destination. the delay was sufficient to allow the wound to get infected, and for the next MONTH, i visited doctors, got creams and ointments and oral antibiotics -- my foot got worse and worse. it hurt, i could hardly walk, and the pus-filled swollen wound itself was simply disgusting. the docs wanted to give me a shot. no WAY. then i remembered how a friend of mine had gotten his finger slammed in the car door and healed the wound with goldenseal. i hope i am remembering that right now! (he always looked a little resentful, telling that story, since, as he put it, his wife had slammed that door on his finger!) so i got some powdered goldenseal and sprinkled it on the wound. within an HOUR the pus had dried up. within three days i had only the faintest scar on my toe.

2. i was a walking well of flatulence. it was embarrassing -- and painful. i remember missing my bus stop more than once because my stomach hurt so much i couldn't move from my seat. i went to doctors; they were baffled. finally i went to a doctor who, i remember, had a very bad cold, and he ordered a barium upper g.i. he looked at it and declared that i had colitis, sneezed and began to leave the room. wait! what do i DO about that? eat right, he said. what's eating right for colitis? oh, you know, he said. well, i didn't. i knew what eating right was, but for colitis? not a clue. there was no internet back then in 1982 (i'd suffered with this for years, too). so i got a book about herbs and found that the one that had worked on my big toe was also good for digestive issues. i concocted a potion of goldenseal, catnip and mint, and brewed it up, and threw it right out, so foul did it taste. i brewed it every day and threw it out every day. then i forced myself to drink it. i drank it every day for a month. i forget now whether i drank it once, twice or thrice a day, but i was diligent. at the end of the month i no longer had any symptoms of colitis. i was symptom-free for decades but now i have ibs. i try to remember to take goldenseal tea when it gets too irritating.

3. a friend of mine tried to kill herself. she did it right, too: lengthwise razor-blade cuts up the arm. she changed her mind, though, and called me. i urged her to come to my house, and she did. i treated her wounds with goldenseal. she yelped. goldenseal can be extracted with or without alcohol; unfortunately for her nerve endings, the kind i had was extracted with alcohol and it stung, as you might well imagine. it probably helped disinfect the wounds, though. the goldenseal itself is an anti-infective and something of an antibiotic. her wounds did not become infected and, um, she got help.

4. recently i developed a nasty, ugly cyst on my face. it started off looking like a zit but it grew into a really disfiguring blemish. i went to a dermatologist who declared that it would never go away on its own but i could prevent it from being more infected than it already (mildly) was with a steroid cream. if i wanted it gone, i would need surgery. i wasn't up for that, so i used the cream for two weeks, the maximum allowed, and it stopped being infected but that was, in fact, it, just as the doctor had said. however, i had some cbd oil lying around. i applied it daily, and once in a while i also applied a poultice of water and baking soda. my cheek is now cyst-free. all that remains is the tiniest red scar, which my fiance told me today, coincidentally, looked nice! (okay, he's kind of weird.) actually, i forget whether i had put any goldenseal on it before seeing the doctor. if i did, it didn't work, which is odd, since it has such a good track record with me. there are no panaceas! i mean, i don't recommend goldenseal for cancer, and i don't recommend cbd oil for a broken arm, you know? but i know what has worked for me for what problems, and i think my body is made up of the same basic elements as any other human's.
