Great Compassion Prayer
Traditional Buddhist Prayer.

Oneness of Life and Light,
Entrusting in your Great Compassion,
May you shed the foolishness in myself,
Transforming me into a conduit of Love.
May I be a medicine for the sick and weary,
Nursing their afflictions until they are cured;
May I become food and drink,
During time of famine,
May I protect the helpless and the poor,
May I be a lamp,
For those who need your Light,
May I be a bed for those who need rest,
and guide all seekers to the Other Shore.
May all find happiness through my actions,
and let no one suffer because of me.
Whether they love or hate me,
Whether they hurt or wrong me,
May they all realize true entrusting,
Through Other Power,
and realize Supreme Nirvana.
Namo Amida Buddha










Herbs for Fighting the FLU

Adapted from The Antibiotic Alternative: The Natural Guide to Fighting Infection and Maintaining a Healthy Immune System by Cindy L.
A. Jones, Ph.D. (Inner Traditions, 2000).

It is getting to be time that we all get a bit more sophisticated about the flu, what with the Avian flu fears looming as a possible global
pandemic. Vaccinations, antiviral drugs and pharmaceuticals are not the focus of this article, but finding effective herbs to help combat
the illness is.

A flu and cold are often difficult to differentiate, but a flu is usually worse. Symptoms include a fever with chills, runny nose, cough,
headache, and a feeling of malaise or tiredness. Although the most acute symptoms usually subside within three days, symptoms
such as weakness and coughing may persist for ten days. Even though the flu is typically self-limiting, serious complications can arise
in the very young or the elderly or those with a preexisting disease.

Two herbs have stood the test of science as being effective against the flu. Find out which ones, here:

The ideal approach to the flu is, of course, prevention. This might be accomplished by improving the immune system, especially in the
fall as flu season approaches. Several studies have shown that astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous) extracts can stimulate the
immune system. Use astragalus as an extract or add the root to soups.

If you do get the flu, here are two herbs shown to help reduce the severity of the illness.

1. Elder (Sambucus nigra) has a tradition of use for the treatment of colds and flu and has stood the test of science. The flowers from
this plant have demonstrated antiviral activity against both influenza types A and B, as well as herpes simplex virus type 1. It also
possesses anti-inflammatory activity.

A clinical study showed that a standardized elderberry extract, Sambucol, improved the symptoms of influenza with a complete
recovery in two to three days, compared to a six-day recovery period for the group not receiving the herb. In this study patients were
diagnosed with influenza type B. Elder may act by stimulating the body’s own interferon or by preventing attachment of the virus to the
body’s surfaces.

2. Licorce root has also demonstrated antiviral activity. When mice infected with lethal doses of influenza virus were treated with
glycyrrhizin, an active component of licorice, they were protected from death due to the virus and had less lung damage than did mice
treated with saline controls.

Elderberry products and echinacea, as well as a few other herbs and supplements, are NOT recommended for use with Swine flu,
because they can cause cytokine storms in the immune system. The swine flu acts differently in the system than other flu viruses.

Here's a link to an article about it: http://www.the-health-gazette.com/health-gazette-blog/alternative-medicine/natural-antivirals

Herbs and supplements are wonderful, and I use a variety of different herbs and supplements myself, but please do some research
first, or consult a knowledgeable naturopath, or herbalist, before you use herbs for specific things. Natural and effective does not mean
that they can't harm if used for the wrong thing at the wrong time.
