I nearly died from a C-Diff infection and was in the hospital for a week as they tried to find something to control it. After leaving the hospital and 2 weeks later ending the prescription, I got C-diff back. Then they tried another med. Same thing. Then I even had a fecal transplant. Still, the C-diff returned after 2 weeks. This went on for over a year. Then I got an intense craving for kombucha. I had brewed and drank it 20 years ago on my homestead. But I hadn't had it in many years. I got some organic kombucha and began drinking it, about a half cup every hour. Within 3 hours my C-diff symptoms stopped. The first week I stopped the kombucha and my symptoms came back. The next day I started kombucha again. The C-diff symptoms stopped immediately! Over time, I was able to reduce the kombucha and don't even have to drink it more than once a week, if I don't want to. No more C-diff! I found out that kombucha has saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast that crowds out the C-diff bacteria! What a Creator we have to have given us these cravings. We truly are fearfully and wonderfully made!
Thank you for sharing your story. That truly is amazing! And yes, we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made! I was just repeating this verse today in fact! :)
Thanks for telling us your story! I had forgotten that last year I was making a homemade S. boulardii supplement for IBS by opening a capsule into a jar of applesauce and letting it ferment for 3-4 days at room temperature..The yeast eats the sugars in the applesauce and expands it’s numbers. A week or more later, there is no sweetness left in the applesauce, it’s not bad tasting, but it’s medicine then.
Last winter I got a pretty bad virus and the only thing I could even think about eating for days was grapefruit. Thankfully right before I got sick I had found them on sale and bought several bags.
This is Alea, Doug's wife🙂. When I was pregnant I craved milk. I could drink a gallon a day! When my daughter was born her umbilical cord was soo thick! It was completely white and difficult to cut. God is amazing in how he created us.

Love your vids. Funny thing about valerian is, I knew it was for sleep or calming, but when I went through my garden I saw bees sleeping on my valerian flowers and I thought hmm maybe I’ll make a tea and tincture out of the flowers. Works like a dream. Lol
Yes, I am not much of a bean person but there was a time I wanted beans every day, even baked beans, yuck 😁 Wanted to donate blood at that time, turned out my iron level was so low that they did not want my blood, told me to eat liver and beans.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist nope - they thought I was nuts anyway, that may have confirmed their opinion- not that I care! :0 back then I did a little yet. Getting older is wonderful, I know what I know, still learn new things and just feel good no matter what others think about me.
So interesting about the elephants eating the clay. I sometimes see my horses licking the red clay that is in their pasture. They do have a salt block and a mineral tub available, but I am guessing it is something in the red clay that they need. As for men and women’s brains being wired different. I could not be more thankful for the brains if the men in my life. They help me keep control of my many directional and fast moving brain. Which can get very overwhelming when there is so much to think of at once. It is good to have boxes to put thoughts in and a husband to snap me out of my worries when my boxes spill out and helps me put everything back in my boxes.
I have a summer affinity for pickles too. I'm not sure what that means. But, in spite of my slightly expanding belly, I don't think I'm pregnant. :0) Doc Jones homegrownherbalist.net/about-the-school/
Maybe the craving is the salts and vinegars... minerals due to sweating and loosing body fluids. This being more so if traditionally fermented pickles, rather than vinegar pickles
Ahhhhhh yes, on listening… I remember when I I kept wondering how the American Indians knew about witch hazel. It’s so wonderful, it’s kind of common if you know where to look ..,finally, I lived in a backyard that had some identifiable witch hazel the plant told me so. So I leaned against the bush and asked its spirit to tell me what some American Indian had listened to and it told me it about sap of witch hazel. Yay. 0:13

I wrassled both cows and goats in my dairy adventures. I Wrassled horses, beef cows, llamas and the occasional ostrich too as needed. For the last few years I've only worked with small animals. They're easier to wrassle. :0) The vet practice has been a real blessing as an herbalist because I have a piece of paper on the wall that says I can do whatever I want with a dog/horse/cow.

Although I'm not thrilled with the smell of valerian, it does take the ruff edges off my nerves. I've been muscle testing and using herbs medicinally for years. My next goal is to become your student, in your school. It's exciting to think about how much more I could learn, it's my passion. Thank you for doing these vids Doc, you're the best.
I've always have a good instinct for that kind of thing, its led me to avoid the heavily artificial foods even as a kid. I can tell if it's good quality food or junk just by looking at it. A few years ago my finger got stung by a wasp, I looked around for Plantain leaf but didnt see it, so I grabbed some basil instead and said "ah! That one is almost just as good!" But then I stopped and realized I'd never heard that from anywhere before, but I said it, so it must be true. I went inside to google if that was a known fact and while google was confirming that it did I washed off my finger and stuck it in the apple cider vinegar jar. When I realized I did that I started googling if that was good for it too. Turns out yes. Both help stings, no need to google it, just listen to your instincts.
My mom (in her 70's) has had a lot of leg pain stemming from a pinched nerve in her hip. Recently she moved into an RV and was going to spend some time at my sister's house. I heard your story about your wife using the valerian tincture topically for shoulder pain, so I decided to send some to my mom to try. I had never smelled it and had it shipped right to her (I live in a different state). My mom used it one day on her hip and didn't notice the smell (bad sinuses). Well, my sister and her husband thought the cat had pooped or something! When they figured out what it was, my sister messaged me telling me I'd better not send her anymore stinky medicine!😂
@@holycow92883 She said she thought it may have helped a little bit she only used it once. My sister took her to a chiropractor and they gave her some kind of pills.😑

Oboe and Juju… excellent names of choice. Thank you for this very good touch with reality. My beloved consort had a diet of his own in his studio for 30 years that was just roots, lentils, and one dropped egg for years and years and he screwed up his system. Now we are under one roof because he’s all worn out and he seemed to get a craving for sugar- he would eat chocolate sauce down to the bone, eat 80% cacao or drink all the natural maple syrup down to the drip. Repeatedly. Finally, after more than a month of this, he stopped. He got acid indigestion, but his terrible gut problem cleared up although it took two months, really. He is not bound up anymore.. I just let him go at it and it worked. What do I care what he wants to take in if he really needs it at the age of 86? His body knew best.
Early on in my friends pregnancy, I was craving Tinned Sardines. I kept telling my friend she needed to up her calcium. Lo and behold, she was low in calcium. Once she started eating them, my cravings dropped. While I was pregnant I craved fries, salty and sour Frozen drinks. I swapped it out for avocado (oils), on wholemeal toast (carbs) with a sprinkle of salt, small glass of orange juice on the side (better than a Chem sour drink). Other craving I had was toffee apple, just swapped it to apple for the magnesium.
Speaking of aversions... I can't take cilantro, seaweed and pine nuts, I throw up 15-30mins later. I figure my body can't use it for detox and I need other methods
Same for pinenuts, I got a metallic taste for several days and could not eat or drink even water after a serving back in 2009. Was so wild. On the 2nd day I Googled the symptoms and found out I was allergic.
Thank you so much for all the great info and insight! I’ve experienced this with aromatherapy -the scents I need smell quite appealing, but when I don’t need them, they aren’t so great. Another example is seafood. The smell of most seafood is absolutely nauseating to me, so I believe I probably have a shellfish allergy and steer clear of it.
@Doc Jones, GREAT MESSAGE! Gonna send it off to a few people! Just wondering, Doc__do you think that 'method' would work to benefit those with lupus? Love, Light, and Blessings in your new space. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺

My sister-in-law had mad cravings for soap when she was pregnant! She would lick the soap bar and clean her teeth with soap instead of toothpaste. Goodness knows what that means!
Women (with a lot of feminine energies) experience lower serotonin levels because we tend to be more empathic. We feel or become aware other's pain. I've done muscle testing for herbs but the smell/taste test sounds interesting; I'll try it.
Another great one and totally exciting. God gave us the most incredible bodies and we tend to ask others more than we ask our own bodies. Ask others but go ahead and trust your own body! Doc Jones you are a great Dr!
I haven't ever used fig leaves but there are some good studies on fig leaves decreasing blood pressure as well as decreasing high blood sugars. Be really careful about combining herbs and medications that decrease blood pressure or blood sugar. Too much of a good thing can be a really BAD thing.

This summer my friend gave me a monarda plant and I made a tea out ouf the leafs. I loved it so much thaht I bought around 20 plants. I was absolutelly crazy about it (beyond intellectual understanding). As I listened to your channel I learned that it is good for treating mold and candida. I suspect that I was collonized by mold from my previous appartment and I had a SIBO which is a common side effect of candida. I am absolutelly mind blown 🤯🤯🤯
I have always trusted my food cravings, even if I didn't know why I craved the foods. I do watch my pets and see what they are eating to see what they need. When suggesting herbs to friends and family, I ask them if they like the herb like cilantro or oregano. That tells me quickly if that herb will help the person or not. This is a fascinating topic so please do more videos on this topic.
I liked the male female brain analogy, its funny and so true! The valarian insight is interesting to me bc I'm typically of the opinion that it smells awful. I've primarily taken it as a sleep aid and I've found that I get tired quickly, go right to sleep, but then wake up in 3 or 4 hrs wide awake, just to be tired again when its time to go to work. Side note, my dog had a strong affinity for crabgrass specifically. We used to joke that she was part goat.
I have recurring fevers and ibs for 2 years now. The doc suspects an autoimmune disorder of some sort. I recently started fermenting garlic in honey. I can’t get enough of it. I don’t eat the whole jar at once because I want some before the next batch is ready. Wondering if there’s something to it.
@user-wq9bf9ou6q our body knows what it needs to stay healthy. Garlic is an antibiotic, antiviral and contains a lot of sulfur which our immune system needs. Honey also helps with keeping bacteria at bay. So, it makes sense that you craved the fermented garlic in honey.

Early on in my friends pregnancy, I was craving Tinned Sardines. I kept telling my friend she needed to up her calcium. Lo and behold, she was low in calcium. Once she started eating them, my cravings dropped.
While I was pregnant I craved fries, salty and sour Frozen drinks. I swapped it out for avocado (oils), on wholemeal toast (carbs) with a sprinkle of salt, small glass of orange juice on the side (better than a Chem sour drink). Other craving I had was toffee apple, just swapped it to apple for the magnesium.
Speaking of aversions... I can't take cilantro, seaweed and pine nuts, I throw up 15-30mins later. I figure my body can't use it for detox and I need other methods
Same for pinenuts, I got a metallic taste for several days and could not eat or drink even water after a serving back in 2009. Was so wild. On the 2nd day I Googled the symptoms and found out I was allergic.
Thank you Dr. Jones for sharing so much great info with others. God bless you & your family. ♡
Glad you enjoyed it. :0)

Dr. Jones, loving your videos! I found out about you through the video you did with Carolyn at Homesteading Family.
mee too
Same here.
Patrick, you are my new favorite Teacher !!!
Do you have a video on muscle testing?
Love you, Dr.
thanks for this!!
Both of my free-roaming dogs LOVE to graze young swamp sunflower leaves (h. Angustifolius). They taste awful to me.
Thank you so much for all the great info and insight! I’ve experienced this with aromatherapy -the scents I need smell quite appealing, but when I don’t need them, they aren’t so great. Another example is seafood. The smell of most seafood is absolutely nauseating to me, so I believe I probably have a shellfish allergy and steer clear of it.
@Doc Jones,
GREAT MESSAGE! Gonna send it off to a few people!
Just wondering, Doc__do you think that 'method' would work to benefit those with lupus?
Love, Light, and Blessings in your new space. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺
I think it can help with a lot of things. There are some things that can be beneficial to Lupus cases. Shoot me an email.

Valerian root smells like poop to me! 💩💩 I guess it won't work for me! 😄🤔
could be. Try some skullcap instead. :0)

My sister-in-law had mad cravings for soap when she was pregnant! She would lick the soap bar and clean her teeth with soap instead of toothpaste. Goodness knows what that means!
Funny I was craving stinging nettle for about three weeks. Sautéed it with garlic for about three weeks and now don’t crave it anymore
What’s your thoughts on muscle testing for supplements?
can you write a book about formulas for certain things,like joint pain, pain in general, respiratory etc. so I can make my own blends
Can you recommend an herb that may be good for tennis elbow?
Women (with a lot of feminine energies) experience lower serotonin levels because we tend to be more empathic. We feel or become aware other's pain. I've done muscle testing for herbs but the smell/taste test sounds interesting; I'll try it.
Yup. Women's brains to all kinds of complicated stuff. :0)

Love the education you give me!! Thank you🎉🎉❤
Another great one and totally exciting.
God gave us the most incredible bodies and we tend to ask others more than we ask our own bodies.
Ask others but go ahead and trust your own body!
Doc Jones you are a great Dr!
I crave the gut tincture but absolutely hate the clay. I cant tolerate it ew
Why would my dog want to eat soil?
Great information!
I totally agree with this :)
I wish i tried cinnamon lol
Ginger is good too.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist i tried ginger it was very hot on my belly... cinnamon would be milder
Thank you❤

I hear fig leaves are good to make a tea for high blood pressure. Can you give some info on fig leaves.
I haven't ever used fig leaves but there are some good studies on fig leaves decreasing blood pressure as well as decreasing high blood sugars.
Be really careful about combining herbs and medications that decrease blood pressure or blood sugar. Too much of a good thing can be a really BAD thing.

So glad I found your channel. .I've listened to like 10 videos I'm like 3 hours love it!! I have learned so much
This summer my friend gave me a monarda plant and I made a tea out ouf the leafs. I loved it so much thaht I bought around 20 plants. I was absolutelly crazy about it (beyond intellectual understanding). As I listened to your channel I learned that it is good for treating mold and candida. I suspect that I was collonized by mold from my previous appartment and I had a SIBO which is a common side effect of candida. I am absolutelly mind blown 🤯🤯🤯
During my pregnancy I had to have strawberries and pickles! I felt driven to eat strawberries every day and the pickles several times a week.
Doc Jones, I LOVE you and all you do to make being human a more wonderful thing!!!🥰❤
I have always trusted my food cravings, even if I didn't know why I craved the foods. I do watch my pets and see what they are eating to see what they need. When suggesting herbs to friends and family, I ask them if they like the herb like cilantro or oregano. That tells me quickly if that herb will help the person or not. This is a fascinating topic so please do more videos on this topic.
I liked the male female brain analogy, its funny and so true! The valarian insight is interesting to me bc I'm typically of the opinion that it smells awful. I've primarily taken it as a sleep aid and I've found that I get tired quickly, go right to sleep, but then wake up in 3 or 4 hrs wide awake, just to be tired again when its time to go to work.
Side note, my dog had a strong affinity for crabgrass specifically. We used to joke that she was part goat.
Hello doc' is there any herb that I can use to help cleanse out the antibiotics I regret getting.
Have a look at this:

Is that good for the injection kind antibiotics or just or the pill form that has been taken.
This was awesome! Thank You
Great video as always
Fascinating!!
I have recurring fevers and ibs for 2 years now. The doc suspects an autoimmune disorder of some sort. I recently started fermenting garlic in honey. I can’t get enough of it. I don’t eat the whole jar at once because I want some before the next batch is ready. Wondering if there’s something to it.
@user-wq9bf9ou6q our body knows what it needs to stay healthy. Garlic is an antibiotic, antiviral and contains a lot of sulfur which our immune system needs. Honey also helps with keeping bacteria at bay. So, it makes sense that you craved the fermented garlic in honey.
Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇸🐻
You bet :0)
