Scab – one of the conditions that we’ve been trying to breed out of apples for decades, in fact could be slowing or preventing cancer cells from establishing in our bodies! I love a twist in the plot. It reminded me that many plant constituents exist to save the plant from viruses and other attackers, so sometimes the mostly motley of them are fullest of the constituents that healed them – and will heal me. I choose my herbs a bit differently now that I know that. And I look at my timeworn friends differently now, and I wonder at how many parallel truths have to be meditated on to discover the number of layers this has.
