Excellent stuff. Seems to be harder to find too. It used to be growing everywhere. I'm nursing a long a small cutting in my garden atm. I first heard of it via the BBC gardening program... they used it for their tomato food. Soak the leaves in a bucket of water a long time til they're smelly as then dilute & feed to your plants.

That’s what I had it for, a plant food. Exactly as you do. Add vermicast to the liquid and it’s one of the best general plant foods (really a soil conditioner) I’ve ever used.

Also around fruit trees; suppresses weeds/grasses and feeds the soil when it dies off in the autumn. I love it.

I fixed my ducks broken leg (from a fox bite) using broken comfrey wrapped around tied in place and left for a couple of days. Before that I had used benzene but the leg started to go off.

My dad gave me a cutting from his crop, have just transferred to my garden. He reckoned it would grow like a weed:)

I usually make a feed mix for my plants, but delighted that this has worked so well for you. I have a good book of natural remedies, it's American but most of the plants can be found here. The author also "has MS" her story, and her natural treatments are interesting.

I believe you've been poisoned, we have all been poisoned, all of which will manifest as "disease" at some stage.

There's a lot to read out there😅

Dad’s correct, it will grow like a weed. But for me a “weed” is just a plant in the wrong place so comfrey’s not a problem. But do be careful where you put it if you don’t want it to take over 😅.

I normally use comfrey as a plant food too, so this was an added benefit (finding its health benefits).

I don’t believe in MS. Even the mainstream call it an “autoimmune disease” which doesn’t exist imo. As far as I’m concerned regarding MS, and this is for anyone “diagnosed” as such, the symptoms they (who I call the death cult) call MS is just a collection of symptoms that are all poisoning — from something.

For example 50% of the people in the “Living with MS” course I did about 9 years ago were young women in their early 20s. 50%!! I did a quiet little survey. 100% of them had received the HPV poison vaccine. I did try and tell some of them they might be able to detox but it was an impossible message to get across.

You’re right, there is a lot to read. Are you in NZ? If you’re looking for books sometimes good ones pop up on TradeMe; I can send you links if you like. Thanks for the link. So funny you sent me that one. I’ve got that book, about 2 meters from where I’m sitting — I can see it now. And it is good.

I agree. In NZ, we've all been poisoned. That's actually the reason I wrote this. Being facetious. https://craighutchinson.substack.com/p/there-is-no-poisoning-in-new-zealand

Do you think the reprint of the book is ok to buy? Or the original is better - although hard to find im guessing!

I haven't read the original (not sure it's different from mine). As you guess, probably "hard to find". If I see one, I'll buy -- original or other.
