Essiac, marketed as Flor Essence and several other brands, is an herbal tea promoted as an alternative treatment for cancer and other illnesses;[1] however, the evidence goes against such claims.[2][3] As with many alternative remedies, the exact composition of essiac is unclear, but it reportedly contains burdock (Arctium lappa), Indian rhubarb, sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella), and slippery elm bark (Ulmus rubra).

Essiac

Some formulations may also contain watercress, blessed thistle, red clover, and kelp.[4] From the 1920s through the 1970s, essiac was promoted as a cancer treatment by Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse, who claimed that it had been given to her by a patient and that the recipe derived from an Ontario Ojibwa medicine man.[4] The name "Essiac" is Caisse's surname spelled backwards. Today, Essiac is often sold with apparatus (such as bottles as infusers) for making the tea, and is sometimes promoted with untrue claims that scientific studies have shown it to be effective.[5]

Who Needs Grass? Permaculture Research Institute. The Kniskerns’ yard is a sustainable smorgasbord The fifth of an acre where James and Mary Kniskern live in Arnold [Maryland, USA] was about what you’d expect for a suburban dwelling: grass, azaleas, daffodils in the spring, pachysandras year-round.

Who Needs Grass? Permaculture Research Institute

As you’d expect, it required the drone of a mower and sweat non-equity to keep it in shape. “I didn’t like to mow,” says James. But what was the alternative? Less than a decade later, the Kniskerns are living the alternative. Before the Kniskerns headed down the wood-chipped path to zero grass, they considered buying into an eco-village, so they visited several throughout the Mid-Atlantic. “It looked ugly,” James says. But their desire to reduce their impact on the land propelled them. “We just started sticking stuff in,” says Mary, of the “odds and ends of edibles” and fruit trees they planted in Arnold.

The Kniskerns knew nothing of Food, Not Lawns, a movement to turn grassy yards into food forests while building communities. Permaculture 101. Moss Art.

Cluck. Bos. Environmental. Myth and legend. 50 Ways to Be More Humble. SuccessJanuary 31st, 2011 Lists I’ve found are a great way to explore a topic, generate some interest in a subject and provide enough variety that it is not only quick to read, but quick to relate to many aspects.

50 Ways to Be More Humble

All this while hopefully adding some value to what is read in new ideas, unheard suggestions or simply by giving reminders of what might be known dead inside you already. I certainly find that in reading lists from other people. This was my most difficult list I’ve made after admiring sproutwatches.com and while I was hoping to make a list of 100 ways to be more humble, I really struggled coming up with unique ideas that didn’t have too much overlap and were not just a large list of different words or minor actions to be more humble. I hope you will find some value in this list, it has certainly given me a lot to think about, a lot to still learn in being humble and an eye opener to realize how far from this I actually am.
