Rabbi Daniel the Shaman Herbalist

Gonzalo, my father in law.

My father in law was a good man. He was honest and a man of his word. If he said he would help, he would. If he promised to do something he would complete it, because it was his word. When he shook your hand his handshake was his contract to you. When I first met him I saw a man that was out of time he seem to be lost in this modern world. I now believe he was here for a purpose what ever it was I know he completed it. He completed it because it was his nature to complete things. I miss you, Gonzalo. I pray to G^d to keep you nearby.

Words

There is an old saying that goes like this "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." This saying is wrong, words can hurt, the voice of man, brother, sister, parent, or any other can hurt and produce illness in the body of others. Man must always be careful not to speak evil or ill of another. We must never curse anyone unless we want to hurt them but in turn we also hurt ourselves.
G^d created the world with words and he gave man a voice. G^d gave us words, the ability to use words, to create words. We have recieved our voices to communicate with one another and with G^d. Our voice, our words are sacred they must not be used to hurt. Words can hurt. Never use evil words. Never curse anyone or speak ill of anyone. When one uses evil words against another the curse will return to you. It will hit you with force it  may destroy  you  ot your future.

Spirit of Man

All men and women possess a spirit, a soul, that dwells in the body. It is the spirit that retains all memory of man. All of man's knowledge resides in the soul spirit. Within this spirit is the past, the present and the future. The spirit glows and produces a field around the body. When part of the spirit's body is damaged it must be restored by healing hands or healing herbs or both. When the soul spirit suffers damage the body becomes ill, it suffers disease. Herbs were given to man by G^d as instruments that heal those damages. When herbs can not complete the healing, healing hands with prayer must accompany the herbs. When a person dies his or her soul moves into another realm to review his or her past life to know of it's mistakes in life. If the mistakes are critical to life he or she must enter into a new life to correct those mistakes. When man prays to G^d his mind connects with the hidden knowledge of the past lifes, he or she subtlely knows what mistakes he or she has done. He knows his errors he knows his sins. Hopefully he will correct his ways. Many know their mistakes but do not correct them. Their sins make them ill, their guilty damages the body. When children become ill they suffer from the sin's of the fathers (parents). When a good person dies who has completed corrected lifes and enters heaven. He enters heaven exactly  at the same time  as all  who have completed corrected  lifes.  There is  no time  in heaven  all  men  have  died  and  entered  the  gate  at the  same  time.

The Hidden City

Up in the mountain valley's behind and South of Victoria, Tamulaipas Mexico is a hidden city that Cleto and I visited some years ago. There is a long avenue down its center that is aligned East to West. With temples on both sides of the avenue some facing north and large one's facing south. When we first entered the valley I felt that we were being watched. I told Cleto of my feelings and he motioned for us to sit down. We immediately sat down on a small alter like object. We remained quiet for a while until we heard the soft growl of an animal in the brush. We could sense its movements moving across to the right in front of us. After a few minutes of silence and no movement from us, curosity of the animal drove it out of the brush and to us. As it cames it slender graceful body told us it was a leopard. She came out about fifteen feet from the brush and stopped. She looked at us and gave a soft growl. Cleto began singing an old Mexican song. His soft words told the leopard that we meant no harm. The leopard suddenly laid down and listened to Cleto.
After Cleto finished the song the leopard got up and walked back into the jungle growth.
Cleto got up and  began walking  to  large  pyramid , he walked pass the front staircase and behind the pyramid. There between two pyramids was a large green areas of plants. The plants were Arnica, Cleto began collecting the plants and said that I should collect only the greenest plants. Cleto began laying out the collected plants on the pyramid stairs. After collecting a large amount of plants we stopped working and began cleaning out a campsite.

Soul Snatchers

In my life as an herbalist  brings me before peoples of many faiths. I have met Hindu's, Baptist's, Mormons, Catholic's, Moslem's, Buddhaist, and other faiths. Someone once said that it was my opportunity to convert many to my Jewish faith. I do not believe in converting others to my faith, I believe if they wish to convert it must be of their own will. G^d gave man expediated devices to reach him. He gave man the faith he is born with. It is up to him or her to determine if that faith is the right path to G^d. Even if his faith is wrong he must worship G^d via that faith to reach the creator. When a man decides to convert others to his faith it is wrong, it is evil, and it's a great sin. When one forces his faith on another the enforcer becomes a soul snatcher. He has removed a soul from his destined path to G^d. Every man has his own thoughts that lead him to G^d. Man must never distort a religion to enrich himself via gold, power, or control. He who corrupts any religion to destroy others is a demon and must not be respected. He who forces others to convert  is a demon he is a soul snatcher. A thieve who lurks with the greed of control and power over others. It is the obligation of all men to help others to find G^d via any device.

The First Explorers of America

The first explorers of Central America and Mexico were not the Spaniards but the Chinese. Chinese sailors explored the Pacific coast of Mexico hundreds of years before the Spaniards. Great sailing ships visited the coastals tribes of Mexico and traded with them. They exchanged herbs, plants, seasonings, medical knowledge and science. They also taught the indians construction techniques working with stone.

Brain Foods

The best brain foods that promote a better memory and recall are gingko and berries. Eat raw berries or their extracts. The best berries are blueberries and bosenberries. I also recommend the jellies made from berries. Blueberries and bosenberries will prevent the brain from aging and the onset of brain probelms. Add a daily capsule or herb tea with gingko.

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle extract promotes a healthy liver function and a healthy prostrate. Milk Thistle promotes efficient cell division. It restores the proper health of the liver. It can aid those with liver damage and prostrate probelms. This extract may be taken in dosages of 900 mg without harm to the human body.

Older Adults and the loss of Physical Energy and Mental Energy

Most older adults complain of a lack of physical and mental energy. They feel too tired to walk and to even think straight. Everything in life is exhausting and draining. For this probelm G^d has given us the herb Rhodiola rosea. Rhodiola extract can aid exercise endurance, improve mental performance,  improve  short term memory, all within a few weeks  of taking  250mg per day. Many scientist believe that this lack of energy in the onset of degenerative disease.

Olive Oil & Ashwagandtha Extract

A recent study from the University of Cordoba, Spain suggests that meals that include olive oil promote a healthy heart, improved heart valve function, improvement in blood flow, and decreased oxidative stress. The Jewish and Italian people have known this for thousands of years. A better blood flow means lower blood pressure and better brain function. While I am promoting a better brain function. Let me tell you about ashwagandtha extract. This herb can improve a sense of well being and a healthy mental outlook. It also promotes the regeneration of axons and dendrites in the brain.It will lower blood sugar levels. Improves energy, sleep, and well being. Stops the destruction of the brain caused by nervous tension. Dosage suggested is 125 mg twice per day.
