Misc Kudzu

[foolsgold]

not sure if this is blue light stuff or not but guessed i would ask any way


any one heard of this stuff before i got an email about it today and it sounded interesting because of the claims about helping with alcohol withdrawals and stopping smoking

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is also known as "The Green Plague". It is a climbing vine from the Far East. Its name comes from the Japanese word "kuzu", meaning vine. Due to the starch in the plant's roots, it is primarily grown in China and used in Japan to make a variety of traditional candy. Kudzu has been used in China since 600 A.D. as a remedy for various complaints. Its soothing effects were mentioned in Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang

Why you should use "Kudzu" as a nutritional supplement:
• To aid withdrawal efforts (alcohol and/or nicotine consumption)
• Anti-inflammatory
• To treat migraines and some headaches
• To treat fever, flu-like symptoms, measles, gastritis, dysentery and high blood pressure
• Also strengthens the nervous system
• Prevents irritability or restlessness during menopause or depression
• Calms the digestive system, prevents nausea
• Increases resistance to stress and the feeling of satiety
• Expands blood vessels
• Reduces platelet aggregation and excessive perspiration.

or is this just another load of crap ?

Kudzu is one of the fastest growing invasive plant species in the world, I don't know if you'd want to support growing it...

wheres the harm reduction value here? I bet none of those claims for benefits have been reviewed by the FDA.
