The Cherokee used herbs for healing. An astonishing number have proved to be valuable in modern pharmacology. Many modern drugs have active ingredients based on these herbs that were chemically synthesized. More than two hundred drugs are derived from their healing remedies. Beginning in 1993, the National Institute of Health recognized the importance and use of herbal medicine as a treatment for certain types of illnesses.

Where is this beef jerky hiding?

I can't find it on line anywhere.

They may have changed their name a long time ago and never made it onto the internet.

If your Unemployment Benefits ran out on Christmas Day which Grinch do you blame?

Start at the beginning. I would blame teacher's unions in the public school systems all over America for turning out dumbed down, propaganda filled, lemmings; who voted for a national disgrace. The triumvirate of disaster: Obama Reed and Pelosi. The 3 real life Grinches who stole Christmas from over 2,500,000 people.

New true words to an old favorite. Dedicated by me to the Non fictional Grinch ~

You're a mean one Obama

You really are a heel

You’re as cuddly as a cactus

You're as charming as an eel

Obama

You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You're a monster Obama

Your Hearts an empty hole

Your brain is full of spiders

You’ve got garlic in your soul Obama

I wouldn’t touch you with a

39 and a half Foot pole

You’re a vile one Obama

You have termites in your smile

You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile

Obama

Given the choice between the two of you

I’d take the a seasick crocodile

You’re a foul one Obama

You’re a nasty wasty skunk

Your heart is full of unwashed socks,

Your soul is full of gunk

Obama

The 3 words that best describe you, are as follows, and I quote

Stink, Stank, Stonk

You’re a rotter Obama

You’re the king of sinful sots

Your hearts a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots

Oabma

Your sole is an appalling dump heap

Overflowing with the most disgraceful

Assortment of deplorable rubbish

Imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots

You nauseate me, Obama

With a nauseous super naus

You’re a crooked jerky jockey and,

you drive a crooked horse

Obama

You’re a 3 Decker sour kraut and toad stool sandwich

With arsenic sauce
