In addition, the whole plant is a nutritious and healing food. You can use the leaves in salads or in teas. The roots can be roasted and used as a coffee substitute, while the flowers have gone into a variety of alcoholic beverages, including dandelion wine and the after-dinner liqueur schnapps.

Haag 1995, 78)73 The shamans venerate Shiva, whose roots can be traced back to the Vedic Rudra. They regard him as the primordial first shaman, who had a perfect understanding of the shamanic arts and who taught this to certain chosen people. One Nepalese name for Shiva is vijaya, "the victorious"; in the Vedic scriptures, hemp is referred to by the same name. Shiva is also known as Bhangeri Baba, "the lord of hemp" (Storl 1988, 83, 198, 201). According to shamanic tradition, it was he who discovered hemp and sowed it in the Himalayas so that humans would always have access to it.

Treating Hoxsey like some sort of notorious public enemy, the FDA posted prominent public warnings against his treatment in all 46,000 post offices nationwide.61 Hoxsey's chief nurse, Mildred Nelson, went to Mexico, where she has since operated the Bio-Medical Center, and where Americans with cancer must go today if they want to receive the Hoxsey treatment.
