"Christopher Robin returns! He is dirty, tired and hungry (and currently on house arrest)...but he's home! Thank-you so much for posting his picture, I received many words of encouragement as response to the post. He seems to have found his own way home, but it is such a comfort that so many showed concern and were watching out for him! We are so happy & thankful!"

"Suppose your doctor tells you, on your next visit, that he has just discovered a miracle drug which, when eaten as a part of your daily diet or taken as a beverage, could, depending on the peculiarities of your body chemistry: prevent or cure liver diseases, such as hepatitis or jaundice; act as a tonic and gentle diuretic to purify your blood, cleanse your system, dissolve kidney stones, and otherwise improve gastro-intestinal health; assist in weight reduction; cleanse your skin and eliminate acne; improve your bowel function, working equally well to relieve both constipation and diarrhea; prevent or lower high blood pressure; prevent or cure anemia; lower your serum cholesterol by as much as half; eliminate or drastically reduce acid indigestion and gas buildup by cutting the heaviness of fatty foods; prevent or cure various forms of cancer; prevent or control diabetes mellitus; and, at the same time, have no negative side effects and selectively act on only what ails you. If he gave you a prescription for this miracle medicine, would you use it religiously at first to solve whatever the problem is and then consistently for preventative body maintenance?" Excerpted from The Health Benefits of Dandelions by Peter Gail. Please click HERE to continue reading.

A Better Idea!
Many years ago, the late Pete Peterson and his buddy, Syd Erickson, spent an April morning picking several bushels of bright yellow dandelion blossoms. A few weeks later they brought me a bottle of their Dandelion Wine, and we each had a small sample - necesssary to proper scientific analysis, you understand! - and it was unanimously found to be uncommonly tasty, sweet, and extremely soporific!
Here is a web site that offers thirty recipes for Dandelion Wine.
(And I'll be glad to help analyze the results of your wine-making efforts!)
