Check out comfrey. It’s phenomenal for your health. It can take over a garden if the roots are disturbed but if you never disturb the roots, your fine. Great for skin, mending broken bones and millions of things! There are two kinds: one is more medicinial than the other. About it damaging the liver – that’s just a scare. This never has happened when people eat the leaves, only the roots. And then even with the roots this hardly ever happens. An older man broke some of his rib or something and every morning he would make some kind of fritter or pan cake and cook the leaf with it. That’s all he did and in three weeks his bones were mended. There are tons and tons of testimonials. Stick some in your yard somewhere. Also, since you live in Arizona, you have the perfect situation for aloe vera! Once again, there is a medicinial version that’s superior to the other versions. I think this starts with a “B.” There is a guy that lives in Arizona and has a big website and he said he’s tested hundreds of healthfood products and of everything he’s ever used, he’s the most impressed with aloe vera. It’s incredible for helping to keep you young and for promoting good skin and helping to clear up burns, etc. etc. Also, you can’t buy aloe vera in the store. They advertise it that way but it’s really just the aloe vera juice. The only way you can get the aloe vera gel is to grow it. It’s very hardy. People have even kept plants in their basements and they don’t die. It’s also great to water them with coffee now and then.

The first group-from Martek Biosciences Corporation and the Carnegie Institution of Washington-manipulated genes to wean a type of microalgae, called Phaeodactylum tricornutum, from the sun. To do so, they had to provide these single-celled aquatic plants with an alternative source of energy-which they did by inserting a gene encoding for a glucose transporter. They found that algae altered with the gene for a human glucose transporter grew in dark fermenters at densities 15 times that of sunlight-grown algae. In addition, these tiny plants-which are used in a number of dietary supplements-were less likely to become contaminated.
