Wild Cherry bark contains natural cyanide, so care must be taken--best not to use in too large amounts or too frequently. A tincture of the inner bark has been effective as a remedy for jaundice.
Great video! I picked up your book a little while ago after finding a copy in a guest house I was staying in with my family. I've been really enjoying it. Great to find you have videos, too. :)
