The medical industry is so terrified of anything not created in a laboratory.

You owe me a keyboard. You had me rolling with that comfrey head injury story. Made me spit out my coffee all over the keyboard.

A Comfrey poultice healed my husbands EXTREMELY swollen, painful, and black varicose vein in 3 days. It is an AMAZING herb. Thank you for sharing this video.

I love your comfrey story!! 😂 You have a great sense of humor. I just sprained my ankle. It was so swollen and painful. I couldn’t walk. I put a poultice on it overnight and ankle was as good as new in the morning!!

closer you get to a true natural cure the more they put the scares out there on it lol subscribed and a fan of yours in one video

Dr. Jones. You are a breath of fresh air. I've been a nurse for 45 years. I have a Masters in Acupuncture. I didn't get the herb degree, in Chinese medicine, because I don't trust the Chinese. You teach in a way I can relate to. You're not witchy about herbs. Your clinical and scientific. This is what I need. You will be hearing more from me. Blessings.

Back in 1978 we were living on a mountain six miles from the nearest school bus stop, so were home teaching our kids except for twice a week when we took them down because we felt it was important that they get some ‘socialization.’ Picked them up from school one Thursday and the six year old had a scrape on her wrist, didn’t think anything of it (this was before we knew that schools didn’t do anything with cuts or scrapes). Touched her on Sunday and she screamed, looked at her wrist and she had a red line going from the scrape to a sack under her arm. Didn’t have a phone so went down the hill to a neighbor who had one, called the local ‘hippy doctor’ (only doc in the area). He said to put comfrey on it and bring her in in the morning. I had no idea what comfrey was, but the neighbor grew it for his rabbits and gave me several leaves. Not knowing what else to do with it I put a leaf over the scrape and wrapped gauze around it. Checked it an hour later and the leaf was black and wilted. Put on another one. When I put her to bed, I put the rest on. Checked in the morning, the red line and sack under her arm was completely gone. The comfrey had drawn out all of the poison. Have grown comfrey ever since, won’t be without it. Mom had arthritis really bad in her back and neck. After we discovered comfrey, she started drinking one cup of tea every day for her arthritis (didn’t cure it but she could sure tell the difference in the pain level if she didn’t take it). Took about a week before she started noticing a difference. Took it every day for 30 years before she died of breast cancer at 84 years old, never had a problem with her liver. I think the key is moderation (as in all things but people need to decide what’s best for them and not take chances if they aren’t comfortable with it). I make a sun tea with dried comfrey and mint (sweetens the drink) and will drink a cup once or twice a month when I notice arthritis stiffening up my fingers.

Too funny! I came across this video as I was literally rubbing my homegrown comfrey oil on my legs for some aches I have. It works miracles for this purpose. Thanks Doc! Keep up the good fight!

Thank you for the comfrey warning story! A large amount in a heavy glass jar truly does sounds dangerous, especially if gravity pulls it down hard onto your head... 🤣🤣🤣

Naturopathy student from AUS here! Thanks for the info! Hilarious and super informative. Subbed.

I love your sense of humor and am thankful for these quick minutes of knowledge

Thank you, I just finished harvesting some enormous leaves to make a salve. Two months ago I feel and broke my big toe and bruised my ribs and put on a poultice of comfrey, yarrow and plantain and voila, the aching stopped and my toe mended. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge that has helped me get off a pharmaceuticals except my thyroid hormone which is necessary because I had my thyroid removed.

Thanks for the reassurance on the internal use of Comfrey. Very helpful.

We need more people like you DOC ❤️

You're awesome! Thanks for standing for comfrey! Also, historically it was used for feeding livestock and farmers would've noticed something has it been dangerous to liver! I think a historical assessment study should be done. Another thought is, how to get rid of the pyrizolidine? " good question yeeh🤔" Human figured out how to deal with so many potentialy toxic aspects if plants e.g. degelatinized maca root so as it does not affect your thyroid. The examples are endless. Some alkaloids would be deactivated by drying herbs in the Sun! I learned this from farmers. Some by rubbing plant with sea salt and olive oil! Let's think together so as we do not lose this beautiful healing herb

Great video!! I have used Comfrey with no problems as well. It is a shame that those people never think twice about how they slander the name of such a magnificent plant. Who knows, maybe they will need it someday and it will humble them. So glad you have given your time to explaining all of this to others.

HA HA HA that head injury story is a good one, thank you for the chuckle LOL

Love your herbal information and your sense of humor

You are awesome. That sense of humor shows great health in you.

God bless Dr Jones!!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you !!!!

Haha well thank you yet again for your honesty and sense of humor. In today’s world when so many are looking for answers to questions and not sure exactly what to ask or who to ask for that matter you are so very helpful and encouraging! Thank you!

Great comments an thanks for answering the questions when needed. I will definitely add this to my medicinal garden.

Thank You for bringing us this information.

Learning and laughter. Great mix

Thank you for adding captioning to this video! :-D

Absolutely love you and the videos! So much information! ❤️

Love your content, excellent video.

Love the comfrey jar story.

Thanks for your sense of humour, I love it.

You're too much Doc. I can't wait to join your program!

Thank you so much my friend haha as I suspected and a great laugh was had watching this video. Subscribed.

I love your videos

Thanks for the video. I have an injured hand that might have a fracture. I r.i.c.e. it daily. I ordered Comfrey tincture. How many drops would you do daily? I understand you are not prescribing. I'm simply asking what YOU would take. Thank you.

I am so thankful I found you in this world. I would love to get to know and learn from your wife as well. I enjoy your light spirited humor. Thank you so much for working so hard to share your knowledge. I'm glad Josh and Carolyn introduced you to a more broad audience. God bless you and your family.

Love it!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great informative video about comfrey. So much scaremongering about comfrey online. One wonders if the pharmaceutical companies have something to do with it.

I love your update😅

Another note! I have never grown comfrey! I live in SW Louisanna!. I used my end of the year potting soil to build up a a barier to water build up. My whole yard is growing herbs. That tells you that that the potting soil is recycelyd

I wish I had you as my vet!

So good. Can you recommend any recipes for salves or tinctures both internally and topically that I can make at home?

Great, great, GREAT video. Great deadpan sense of humor, too! 😂

Oh my goodness you are funny. I hung on every word at the end preparing to be discouraged. Ended up howling with laughter. It is unfortunately an invasive plant for us out here in the mountains of W, Md. I should have been careful to control its habitat early on...I went nuts planting it everywhere and it was so happy to continue the process. LOL. Glad it is in fact not the dangerous plant I have feared to have propagated so abundantly.

Very amazing herb indeed

Never heard of you. Subbed

What is the specific preparation for stomach ulcer?

good video

Wondering if comfrey can heal a torn rotator cuff in the shoulder ??? Need this information. TKS

Hello doctor I ve been watching your videos very helpful and well explained thank you..... what can I mix with comfrey for breast tumor..... really thank you for your information

I made an infusion with some comfrey leaf, I planned on using it in a diaper cream. From my studies this is perfectly safe, but I thought Id double check. Is a comfrey leaf oil infusion used topically safe for babies? There are other herbs so its not just a large comfrey amount alone but a soothing herbal blend.

Where can you get comfrey? Is it available in garden centers?

Hey Doc... Bought some if the comfrey powder. Made a tincture and an oil infusion today. Placed some on my forearm and Very quickly developed a itchy rash. Guess I'm allergic. Bought mostly to aid in bone health. Do you have any other suggestions in a similar herb to try?

You mentioned that you don't give it to patients with liver problems, but does that go to putting it on topically and ingesting it or just ingesting it? Can comfrey be used for long periods of time?

Can you please tell me. How long is too long to use comfrey internally.

Thanks for your expertise and humor. Two questions for you please. I pulverized some comfrey leaf/distilled water several weeks ago for my son's toe, and put the extra in the fridge. Are the allantoin properties still there several weeks later if I pull it out and use it for another poultice? Secondly, is there a difference in the PAs of true comfrey (the one that spreads by seed) vs Russian comfrey (a sterile plant that only spreads by the root)? Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a practical easy to understand fun way. Blessings to you!

Breath of fresh air

I bought a bunch of dried comfrey thinking it would be good to make tea with but I was told later that you shouldn’t ingest it. Is this accurate? If so what can I do with all of it? Thank you

What can I do for a very high blood pressure

Should folks usually take both comfrey root and leaf together? Or take each part of the plant separately?

May I pour a few drops of the comfrey infused oil inside a cast? Or will it do something weird and fuse the skin with the cast? My friends little boy broke his wrist at school and I know comfrey would help but they put him in a cast? How can my friend apply the comfrey with the cast on?

What about for hyperthyroid issues. Would it be safe to consume do you think as that's more of a hormonal issue ? I suppose the tea wouldn't hurt?

Is comfrey safe for horses if its growing in an area of their pasture?

Please make a video on how you consume it. Is it blended? Do you add things to it? I'm curious to try it.

Thank you! I will keep the large bottles on the bottom shelf 🤣

Hi Doc🙋‍♀️ Just found your channel. I have comfrey going in our garden (plant start from Azure Standard co-op) My hubby has planters facitis (flat feet) I have wrapped a poultice around his foot 4hrs 1 night & overnight 2nd night then heard about the liver issue and got nervous. I see in comments you said topical is safe...just not internal. How long is safe to keep poultice on? Also, how aren you using for stomach ulcers if we can't take internally? Thank you for your time. Grateful I found your channel. Blessings ♥️ Shanna

This is a sensitive topic, but there are a number of respectable midwives who don't recommend comfrey soaks for deep perineal stitches, because that area already tends to heal so fast, and they think that the comfrey sometimes causes the outer layers to heal and the stitches to dissolve faster than the lower layers can heal up. Have you run into this with other wound types?

Hi Doc, would comfrey be good for shingles rash? What other herbs would you recommend to help heal the rash and the help with the pain. Is comfrey bad on for someone with cancer as it accelerates proliferation?Hope you reply as I value your advice.

I love the one adverse reaction story.

I have hurt my tailbone...I have started using it. I hope it works. I damaged the tail bone again today on my bike. It's miserable. How often should I put it on? I've made ointment out of comfrey and beeswax. :)

I have loads of comfrey in my garden, bees love it

I had to call my husband out of his office to hear the comfrey danger story🤣.

Is it safe to take comfrey topically everydayfor years?

Wonder if it could heal my heel spur.

I may have mentioned this on one of your videos. I dropped a step stone on my bare big toe. I wrapped a comfrey leaf around my toe and left it there for a couple hours. The pain was almost gone. Today you would not even know. There is no pain or stiffness.

I was wondering if messing with comfrey and rubbing your lips might make your lips numb?

Would confrey help a bulging disc and irritated femoral nerve? Topical or tea? Tincture or ointment?

Thank you for sharing the scientific facts as well as your common sense & practical experience. I've read the root has the highest level of pyrazoline; I don't plan to use that when the rest of the plant is so useful. You are such an inspiration=) Would you use this on a healthy 2yr old who is recovering from surgery (skull fracture)? He was nearly run over by a car- PRAISE the Lord, his doctors say he is a miracle & will make a full recovery! He may need jaw surgery later. He's likely quite bruised up internally & I'm sure he will be hurting. I was thinking a comfrey, chamomile, echinacea & yarrow tincture (in 50/50 vodka & glycerin)- just a dropperful 2-3x a day would be helpful? I'm trying to decide if comfrey /yarrow are redundant internally? I have them in a wound spray & salve. I feel like there's always a threat of infection after being in a hospital, not to mention MRSA - hence the echinacea p. Would love to know your thoughts...

how to use comfrey?

Does the allantoin also help with red and white blood cells after chemo for a germ cell tumor? We are in recovery and really struggling. We now live in a very rural area and just moved 6 days post tumor surgery (we didn’t know about the cancer before we decided to move). How do we get a consultation with you?

Tellus, is the cell-division only healing(probably), not cancer-causing? And what about using it for the spinal situation of bad Anchylosing Spondylosis kyphoses and disc tssue loss etc? I have no practitioner or Dr now, am too stressed, but so much want to use Comfreye. Please answer, advise me. Also if i can chew it for inflamed, fractured teeth and non-caries cavities, enamel loss? Thank you very much, with best wishes from Sweden, wanting to get up from under the ice..

Thank you for the video. (I did catch that you said it could be used as a tincture or as a poultice which answered my question. So I changed this comment.) Curious what ratio of other ingredients you'd put in a comfrey poultice? ... People that raise meat rabbits say they are able to use comfrey a lot for feed. But I don't think they do ONLY comfrey. I'm not sure their feed ratios though, but its pretty common as a rabbit food. ... Re: the Crones disease... I would put that on the glyphosate that that guy had been on his whole life. Both crones disease and austism show up and have their increase in numbers correspond with usage of glyphosate on farms... this is mathematical where you can see it going up with each other's graphs.

do you have any formula for iron palm training? i get topical dit dow but looking for american formula get blood flow moving and speed up healing from smashing hands into sandbags and bricks

Can anyone address this: I understand the disclaimer not suggesting anyone take comfrey internally, however (and I am paraphrasing), I thought you said if one chooses to take it internally that the S. officinale would be the choice over the S. uplandica? If that is true, I am confused because Susan Weed, Herbalist, said, (again I am paraphrasing), that the S. officinale is wild and the S. uplandica is cultivated and has less the P. toxins in the leaves and that she, SW, consumes infusions of the S. uplandica on a consistent basis, possibly up to a few quarts a week? I did hear you say the larger summer leaves have less P. toxins, but what about the s. officinale versus the s. uplandica internally. Thank you so very much!

HA HA! You and your dad jokes. I love them so much! I am in Texas and want SO BADLY to come learn with you. Saving my dollars for it.

Can I harvest Comfrey after it's blooming to make infused oil?

So, my concern is using comfrey with a cancer dx. Will it cause the cancer cell to increase. Do u have any teaching on comfrey and cancer. I’m dealing with breast cancer. Thank you.

I have a question for clarification, please. When you say you don't give it to people who have bad livers, take a lot of pharmaceuticals or pregnant ladies are you speaking only for internally or for external use also. Say for wound healing would it be okay for someone who takes a lot of pharmaceuticals and wants to heal a nasty scrap on the arm?

My MIL has ulcers. Would a tincture taken internally be ok? What ratio/dosage would be best? She is in her late 50s with previous minor stroke but doesn't take her aspirin regularly but does take blood pressure meds, if that matters. Would topical be better to be less risky? She is also a smoker, if that matters too. I am wary of things with her. Was thinking of doing cabbage juice (cold pressed homemade) too but haven't yet. Can't decide. Lol but I wanna help! I'm a beginner and just started my medicine herbs. So far have salve and lotion, sage tincture, basil tincture, and rosemary tincture and have a plantain tincture started. All in 80 proof vodka.

I heard the white variety is ok to use internally but not the purple. What do you think of that? Ps - It was dark and stormy last night and I wasn't scared but maybe that's a sign from God saying it's ok to use.

Would swishing comfrey extract be okay? Or the tea is better?

I have a really important question: HOW were you able to squat like that without any problem for as long as you were!!!?

Great i feel so much better now after listening to your video. Thank you . Yes we see and hear so many bad reports but all in moderation say i 😂

Does it matter if you use the true comfrey vs the Russian bocking comfrey ????

If the FDA says is bad, i am taking it lol!!

Does comfrey help eliminate heartburn?

Sir can we use comfrey root for gargle it is safe?

How do you feel about comfrey infusion to drink?

Ok, you tell us how wonderful comfrey is, but you don't tell us HOW to use it. HOW do I make a tea? How much tincture do I use? I'm struggling tonight trying to find a video on how to make something with pine needles to help combat asthma and just congestion? Im getting so frustrated. Thanks, I hope you will respond. I've watched many of your videos over and over.

So funny. I agree way over blown!

Thank you. I'm a new herbalist. I've only been into this for about a year or two But I come from a long line of herbalist generationally. I've had a lot of concerns about ingesting comfrey. Actually a book I have on audible. Adamantly States, not to ingest comfort. Thank you for calling my concern.

Is comfrey safe to use on external hemorrhoids?
