Herbalists use it for the treatment of hepatitis, jaundice, cancer, psoriasis, eczema, corns, and warts. Used for more than two thousand years to soothe the eyes, it also reputedly detoxifies the liver, and relieves muscle spasms and bronchospasms. It is used to treat gallbladder problems. The plant can cause a miscarriage when ingested and therefore should not be used during pregnancy. | | Among the natural colors used are: annatto, carotene, chlorophyll, saffron, and turmeric. The big problem with coal tar colors, of course, is their potential as carcinogens but they are also potential sensitizers. Each batch of a coal tar color has to be certified as "safe." F & C Red No. 40 is one of the most widely used coal tar colorings. See also Yellow No. 5, Tartrazine, Coal Tar, Catechu Black, and Carmine. The word "pigment," however, usually means a colored or white chemical compound that is insoluble in a particular solvent. |

Because of its thick skin, it was not interbred extensively and is thought to be relatively unchanged since biblical times. It is widely cultivated throughout India and the drier parts of Southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies, and tropical Africa. |

• Oregamax capsules — take 3 capsules or more twice daily (an excellent lung tonic).Note: essential oils and wild herbs are more aggressive in aiding the lung function than vitamins.

• organic selenium — take 200 or more meg every few hours for a few days. Selenium is potentially toxic, so after a week or two reduce this amount to 1000 meg daily. After a month reduce this to a maintenance amount of 400 to 600 meg daily.
• iodine (as Lugol's solution or potassium iodide) — this is crucial, since radiation releases nearly always include the dissemination of radioactive iodine. This chemical rapidly destroys the thyroid gland, which, as a consequence of its normal tendency, concentrates iodine. |
