Page 3 - Medicinal Garden Kit (Nicole Apelian) : Flip It & Read It

I am a mother, an herbalist, a survival skills instructor, and a
biologist. I graduated with a degree in Biology from McGill
University and further developed my herbal skills in the
wilds of the Kalahari. I lived there for years with one of the
oldest cultures on Earth, the San Bushmen. The San still live
o what the land provides in terms of food and medicine,
and many of them live well to a ripe old age without ever
taking pills or seeing the inside of a hospital.

But the thing that got me deeply involved with plant
medicine, was my own disease.

When I was just 29 years old, I was diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis. MS is an incurable autoimmune condition that
makes your own immune system attack the brain and spinal
cord. I was in constant agony, most of the times in a
wheelchair.
