Below is something I would like to share from my survival guide, some you may already know and maybe some you don't. Somewhere in the midst of all my education and it's sharing someone may learn something, even me.
“Alfalfa” is a good source of vitamin A,C,E,K and minerals calcium, potassium, phosphorous
and Iron and it’s indications are to prevent a avitaminoses of vitamins A,C,E and K.
“Artichoke” helps bile evacuation and is a diuretic. It’s indication is liver disorders.
“Chamomile” is a sedative and used for acidity and heartburn.
“Dandelion” helps bile evacuation and helps constipation and muscular rheumatism.
“Hop(S)” is a sedative and used for insomnia It is also known to have a positive effect on kidneys and bladder function.
“Nettle” is an anti-hemorrhagic and known to have hypo-glycemic properties.
“Senna” is a laxative and used for constipation.
“Willow” is an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic and is good for flu and catarrh.
“Birch” is found in most of temperate North America and the bark is used as paper and to cover canoes and cover shelters as well as torches. The inner bark can be eaten raw or cut into strips, cooked and eaten as noodles. The spring sap when boiled is like maple syrup. The young leaves can be dried and used to make a tea that is used for urinary infections and kidney stones.
Common “Cattails” are found in most of the US and southern Canada. Peeled roots can be eaten raw or cooked and are a very good survival food when they are extracted from the ground when not too frozen. When the heads are green they can be cooked and eaten as corn. When the heads are ripe and have become fluffy this fluff can be used as a very effective insulation additive to your clothing or as a pillow.
Crushed fresh oak leaves will promote the healing of wounds.

WARNING: You should “NEVER” eat “ANY” bush, tree, plant, seed, etc, unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are eating. If you eat the wrong thing you may be putting your life at risk. DO YOUR RESEARCH
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO EAT ANYTHING FROM THE OUTDOORS!!
I plan on sharing various subjects in this book for my education as well as yours, in various threads and will post somewhere a complete directory of whats contained In the book. If you see a subject your interested in post a request and I’ll share what I can.
This book has educated me beyond what I could have learned from anyone and really, if you plan on surviving for a very long time you may run out of man-made resources, then what? This book will teach you 100% of everything you’d need to know to survive, wherever you are, in any climate at anytime of the year. Food, water, shelter, weapons, clothing, medicinal items, soaps/shampoos, how to travel in winter, summer, mountains, desert and water are just a few things you could learn. You could really be self-sufficient and survive.
