Value of Herbal Medicine

By the way, plants do not "covert carbon dioxide into oxygen". carbon dioxide IS oxygen! What a plant does is "release" the pure oxygen during daylight; but during the hours of darkness it actually releases Carbon Dioxide! Admittedly, plants release less CO2 than oxygen! But we shouldn't say that plants only release oxygen. It simply isn't true!

Sorry! Typing error! That should be "convert".

That's right Brysing! Good catch. Photosynthesis is a bit more complicated than that, and instead of giving a biology lesson, I can just offer the bottom line from this website:

'Green plants DO NOT convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2). The oxygen comes from water. Green plants DO, however, convert atmospheric CO2 into sugars. So, the oxygen atoms in the CO2 wind up in the sugars'

Well, I could have gone into more details of compounds, molecular structure etc. But it was mainly the Members language that maybe was at fault. He said "convert" when he may have meant something other.

Apologies for any confusion guys, I was merely placing emphasis on the benefits of herbal medicine, that was the point of my post. Brysing thank you for your comments though as that does relive any confusion I had caused.

The original article was cut and pasted from this site: http://articles.grandmasherbs.com/articles/Natural-Herbal-Remedies/why-use-grandma%27-169.html

I will point out here that cutting and pasting an article from another site without giving credit to the actual author and posting the URL to the site it was taken from is considered plagiarism which is a violation of site rules here on SOM. Please remember this in the future if you wish to share articles from other sites.

Yes, indeed Lark; and this is not the first time this member has taken the plums from other people's puddings!

I'm sorry guys, your right. I did plagiarise this article, I admit it all. I'll be honest here as I think you guys deserve to know the truth, I am not a worthy member of this site, I have broken the rules, been banned and then joined the coven of the person who banned me in the first place (Personified).

But not for revenge, not at all. In the end all I wanted was to be a part of a community and learn from a great teacher, but I was arrogant and my ego got in the way. I yearned to have a higher ranking as I felt after all my experience I deserved such a title.

But I hadn't the imagination to write such a piece, I am at university yes, but that doesn't make me as smart as that. I am sorry for everything iv'e done, for deceiving you all and lying to personified, I am very very sorry. If you could give me another chance I would do anything to prove it, but if you all decide that I should be banned, then I guess one day I'll try to log in, and find out I can't.

Again I am sorry from the bottom of my heart, and I men't no harm to anyone, but I did deceive you for my own gains and selfish reasons and for that I wouldn't be surprised if I was removed from this site. I do fully appreciate the time that Iv'e had here though, I have met such wonderful people and I really hope you succeed in everything you do, all my love

Your problem is not what you post. It is your attempt to teach.I have tried to explain that to you before. You should only teach to those who ask to be taught. Not everybody wants to know about your branch of Yoga; that you say you have only been studying for a year. I have been studying witchcraft for over seventy years, but I would not dream of actually teaching it. Of course, I will always try to answer questions, if I am asked! I will often disagree with posts that seem to me false, or mistaken.
But teaching is not quite the same thing!
