I have those just growing randomly on my property and I never gave them a second look yet. I have so much to discover on just these few acres I can't imagine how people managed hundreds at times.
I will definitely be looking into these plants as the opportunity arrives!
Herbology is a weakness of mine I need to cultivate much further.
They grow all over here and, while I don't process them for medicinal use, I have used extracts of the root in the past as the berberine can have a mild stimulant effect (one of my buddies swears by it for his autistic son) in addition to being a potent antimicrobial.
As for the berries, I like to use them at a ratio of about 1:20 in blueberry pies. They have a pleasant tartness and a high pectin content that acts as a thickener to the filling.
While I'm unaware of a specific toxicity threshold for the berries, I should mention that berberine in particular and Oregon Grape in general, is considered unsafe for pregnant and/or nursing mothers.
As to the Alaska guy, I was under the impression that he had mistakenly harvested a poisonous lookalike, though I reserve the right to be wrong about that.
One glass of freshly squeezed juice from the arils of 2-3 fresh Pomegranates.
It stops prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer, cardiovascular disease, reduces LDL cholesterol, stops diabetes, reduces fatty liver, reduces stomach fat, anti-inflamatory, reduces osteoarthritis, reduces Rheumatoid arthritis, Antimicrobial and anti-fungal, reduces alzhiemers, inhibits malaria, a microbicide of pomegranate flesh might cure HIV.
Has potent antioxidants. This fruit is rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins, punicic acid, ellagitannins, alkaloids, fibre, mineral rich, anti-inflammatory compounds such as punicalagin, proven in several studies to reduce the severity and duration of viral contagions by 40% consistently.
It outright cures most common diseases.
Grow one pomegranate tree, some blueberries and eat green vegetables, lean meat and exercise, that's it.

I am now that I can swallow water. Feeling great in just one day. I tried zicam at the start to see if it would help and honestly I couldn't tell. I got too fucked up from not eating for four days or drinking for three. That's what really did me in, no intake and I lost 27 pounds (holy fuck I need to eat less ice cream!)
I used to get sick alot more often when I was drinking.
Alcohol is a depressant, that goes for your immune system as well as other stuff. Been sick for a bit over a week now, had a bottle of bourbon on standby for thanksgiving and it's still sitting there. I don't drink when sick, that's just a bad idea.
I have the energy back, eating fully again aside from the sore, swollen throat. Thank you
My fatass weakness is dairy, we got mini jerseys and that unlocked a tap right outside my front door. Doesn't help that my inlaw makes the best ice cream I've ever had from it.
My immune system has never been better because I research the fuck out of immunity and infectious illnesses and vitamins and supplements when I was worried about dying from covid and now Im like a health fanatic and I realize the strength of my immune system is in my own hands!
So glad I didnt take that retarded vax. Family members now admitting they were wrong and I was right! Sweet victory.

No, I'm not vaxxed.
I don't even go to doctors anymore.
Echinacea root extract is my new cure-all for upper respiratory infections.

If so, that's another good one to look out for (only don't harvest from the roadside).

Also I dont drink. I used to get sick alot more often when I was drinking. Sounds like you got the rona. Why do you think you got strep and flu?
Zicam is bullshit. There are several formulations but none have really high doses of vitamins.

My symptoms fit flu and strep exactly and my countermeasures to it are working as good as or better than steroids and antibiotics ever did for me.
The wife has COVID home tests on hand for her more, gullible, friends. I took one for shits and giggles, was negative.
