From Dr. Christopher's own writings on the subject of SCULLCAP:
"This species is the American Scutellaria, also called Virginian Skullcap. It is related to the English species, having similar medicinal properties.
Dr. Vandesveer in 1772 is reputed to have first introduced this plant into the medical world. He claimed that it was curative and prophylactic in canine rabies, reporting 1400 cases. Millspaugh drily comments that this is rather a lot of cases to come to one physician (Mills:470), but also mentions that his son after him claimed to have cured forty cases more in three years. From this use comes one of its common names, Mad-Dog Skullcap. The antihidrotic properties seemed to be actually slight and so many people railed against this use, even many who never tried it themselves. It fell into disrepute when it was adopted by quacks who promoted it by advertising. A Dr. White, however, assured Rafinesque that the plant preserved him from rabies after he was bitten by a dog from whose bite others died. Rafinesque stated his full belief in the prophylactic powers of the plant, adding in his classic work that laymen and physicians claim that the plant never fails to ward off or cure the disease. Veterinary surgeons added their support to this use of the herb. Since it is a member of the Mint family, others of which have been claimed to be antihidrotic, they “should at least be considered under these circumstances”, that is, having been used by the aborigines of various countries for specific uses”, as native medication is always the result of long and more or less successful experiment” (Ibid.).
As late as 1844, a Dr. H.B. Skinner was calling this herb “a sovereign remedy for the hydrophobia or canine madness” (Vog:353). However, his colleague, a Dr. Clapp, reported that few if any physicians had any confidence in its prophylactic powers, although he felt that from its bitterness it might be found useful as a tonic."
I disagree with the suspicion that one doctor treating 1400 cases would have been odd in 1774, I think if you're the only one curing rabies in a new land where it might be pretty common, you're going to have a LOT of cases - and REPEATING cases in a small community where one could contract the disease repeatedly, once a case was cured and the individual stopped treatment.
That said, the first thing I thought about was the trouble with vaccines and, perhaps, its use in reversing the damage BUT...
I started looking at nerve degeneration and got some nerve tincture (also Dr Christopher's) and added it to some of the other things I'd found and was playing with when I noticed there were days when my legs just felt so good and functional and alive. So I was going over all of those tinctures and herbs and discovered a connection between nerve degeneration and motor function so I've been looking into the individual herbs in the nerve tincture and, sure enough, THAT was
I'd also been seeing a lot of videos advertised about "death starting in the legs" and leg weakening being palmed off as "you're just getting older" but WOW!!
I wasn't using the nerve tincture everyday and kept having these bouts of days when my legs felt EXTRA good and found the Nerve tincture was the culprit!! And the improvement was happening every time I used it (just a half dropper under the tongue at a time) ! So it's like it's instantaneous! It wakes up, reconnects, feeds, repairs and, with the scullcap, over time, regenerates the nerves between the brain and the muscles!
So, anyway, I thought ya'll might find that as interesting as I did as there is no "ailment" page here for "aging" and why would there be?Since the issues attributed to aging aren't considered ailments...
Gonna go take my nerve tincture! Have a great DAY!! And get yourself some nervine herbs or tonic or whatever if you're of that age! Or even if you AREN'T!! Because, not only is scullcap reported to cure rabies, it's also reported to PREVENT it! So be sure and get or grow some scullcap for your pets and kids and livestock and SELF!

I have NO idea how they came up with the title for this post...which is about nerves, not bone.

You know when I say that if the body wake you up in the middle of the night to pee or get a glass of water or something and one can often feel, at that time, that one is coming down with something and that I go back to bed yo let the body button things up and wake me naturally? This seems to be very important with Dr. Christopher's Nerve drops. I was awakened to pee, my arms nor my legs were barely functioning, my head was all over the place and super foggy and I was nauseated. I wasn't even sure I could make it back to bed but I did and plopped down right on top of the bedclothes and was out like a light. When awakened naturally, about 3 hours later, I felt like a million bucks! EVERYthing worked better and, although I didn't notice it, specifically, at the time, I think that was also the end of the neuropathy in my legs and fingers! I can't really tell with my fingers as I burnt the two that were turning numb so I'll have to wait and see what sort of shape they're in when the numbness from that clears up.
Anyway, be prepared! We ARE talking about reconnecting the brain to motor function so that might get kinda wacky and you want to make sure you have something sturdy to hang onto between the bed and the bathroom - you may need it!!

Curious to see if anyone else has noticed connection between ordinary issues and knees?
Recently noticed that using the complete tissue & bone ointment (Dr. Christopher's) on my knees has almost instant and very good and interesting effects everywhere. From dry throat to other joints...can't find any reference as to why...
