Red clover is one of God's greatest blessings to man. Very pleasant to take and a wonderful blood purifier. Combined with equal parts of blue violet, burdock, yellow dock, dandelion root, rock rose and golden seal, it is a most powerful remedy for cancerous growths and leprosy affections, also pellagra. Learn to use this God-given remedy effectively. Used alone it is excellent for cancer of the stomach, whooping cough, and various spasms. The warm tea is very soothing to the nerves. I have used red clover blossoms for many years with excellent results. When I was a boy, my parents had me gather it for their postmaster, who had a serious cancer. He lived to be an old man, without an operation.
Red clover blossoms were also one of Mrs. E. G. White's home remedies. Red clover is quieting to the nerves, effective in spasmodic, bronchial troubles and whooping cough, is healing to fresh wounds as wel1 as old ulcers, and makes an excellent healing salve.
Red clover is splendid for syphilis. A good prescription
is the following:
1 oz. Red Clover 1 oz. Burdock Seed 2 oz.
Oregon Grape 1/2 oz. Blood Root.
Use the granulated herbs. Mix well in one pint of hot
water and one pint of hot apple cider. Cover and let stand for two hours.
The dose is one wineglass four times a day.
Red clover is an exceedingly good remedy for cancer on any part of the body. If in the throat, make a strong tea and gargle four or five times a day, swallowing some of the tea. If in the stomach, drink four or more cups a day on an empty stomach. If there are sores on the outside of any part of the body, bathe freely with the tea. If in the rectum, inject with syringe, five or six times a day. If in the uterus, inject with bulb syringe, holding the vagina closed after the syringe is inserted so the tea will be forced well around the head of the womb. This should be held in for several minutes before expelling.
Every family should have a good supply of red clover blossoms. Gather them in the summer when in full bloom. Dry in the shade on papers. Put in paper bags when dry and hang in a dry place. Use this tea in place of tea and coffee and you will have splendid results. Use it freely. It can be taken in place of water.
