[D603]Dont Know Anything About

by Joshua Santor, Jos

Wild roses are resilient and adaptable plants which grow in conditions ranging from marshy to scorched, and can tolerate acute climates of the northern hemisphere. Alberta, a zone of Canada where winter temperatures regularly catch -40 degrees, has as its provincial flower the rowdy rose, a small brutish category with unhappy pink blossoms and a delicate aroma.

Domestic cultivation of roses began more than 5,000 being ago in China. Wreaths of Damask-like roses have been found in Egyptian tombs. Frescoes of the Minoan Crete ethnicity show roses. Roses were cultivated extensively in the Middle East during Roman period, their petals worn as confetti at celebrations, for remedial purposes and odor. Roman goodness reserved large communal rose gardens in the south of Rome, where they used hot houses to "push" roses into flush at beloved period, and they also imported roses from Egypt. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the cultivation of roses allotment throughout Europe.

European roses are classified as Albas, Centifolias, Damasks, Damask Perpetuals, Gallicas, and Mosses. Mainstream Oriental roses are Chinas and Tea Roses. The European varieties, with the exemption of the Damask Perpetuals, have one time of tint per year, while the Orientals tint more or minus continually.

England is the country most associated with rose cultivation. The damp, mild climate united with the perenially unclear toughen produces the best redden in roses, which cultivate to have "bleached"flag in intense sunlight. Beautiful English women are often described as English roses.

Roses highlight extensively in British historical imagery, and many family coats of arms quality roses. In heraldry, the rose is the character of the seventh son, expect and joy. A red rose symbolizes elegance nd beauty, an ashen rose, desire and assurance.

In the Middle Ages, roses retained their use in both civic and dutiful festivals, and were also kept in medicinal gardens. Their use in herbology as well as an exact for their fragance led to a bungalow activity of rose-essence distillation, which still has economic importance in some areas of Europe such as Bulgaria.

The fifteenth century "War of the Roses" was so named because the York and Lancaster factions were symbolized by colorless and red roses respectively.

During the sixteenth century, roses and rose water were valued so very that they were used as swap for goods.

With the rise of mercantilism during the Renaissance, horticultural trade flourished. Due to their fleet of trading ships, the Dutch were leaders in the trade of tulips, hyacinths, carnations and of course roses.

The eighteenth century also saw a great spread in rose cultivation: the widespread growing of roses from seed fairly than just the propagation of cuttings. The varieties of roses presented fast lingering from just a few dozen to one or two hundred. Also, an entire new group, the Centifolias, was shaped by Dutch lodge breeders.

In the 1800's, Napoleon's companion Josephine kept a large rose plot at Chateau de Malmaison, an estate seven miles west of Paris. The botanical illustrator Pierre Joseph Redoute used this patch as the backdrop for his infamous 1824 watercolor botanical painting collection "Les Roses." Josephine also provided imperial support to some French rose breeders, notably Dupont and Descemet, who urbanized hundreds of new cultivars out of the European rose groups.

The large, spectacular roses seen at flower shows nowadays are derived from cultivars introduced from China to Europe in the eighteenth century. These plants were continual bloomers, making them unsual and of great amount to workshop hybridizers. These roses were interbred with unfilled European roses to produce plants with both hardihood and long peak term.

In the 1830's, horticulturists experimented intensely with interbreeding Oriental and European roses. Due to the truth that the attribute of recur-promising is recessive, the first generation of offspring between separate-tint and recur-tinge roses are all solo-flowering. However, as these are crossed with one another and back to the primary Orientals and Europeans, replicate-blooming hybrids emerge. By the 1840's many new varieties had been formed, called "Hybrid Perpetuals" for their perpetual blooming. These cultivars came in all ensign and forms, were all at least somewhat reblooming, and enduring enough to withstand the northern European climate. Interest in the original varieties of roses waned, excepting as a sentimental profit to heirloom rose fanciers. The loud new artificial hybrids are now seized up as the flower-show benchmark of what a rose should look like.

Unfortunately I contracted the types of skin parasites about which doctors know nothing. I was doing my yearly back yard Spring clean-up when it happened. As I pulled a strangulating vine from a tree I noticed a cloud of dust descending upon me. I disposed of the vine, decided to call it quits, and took a shower thinking no more of the dust cloud.

My profession is about managing stress and the use of hypnosis for eliminating unhealthy habits. Within a month my life changed to the point that I was on the brink of anxiety panic attack.

Two days later while visiting my mother; my lady friend, Fran, and I began itching all over our bodies. We immediately left for home and took hot baths which provided relief. But within hours we were both itching again. The next few days were horrendous and confusing as we used everything we could to get rid of them--anti itch creams, rid, Nix...

I deduced the source of the infection was that cloud of dust but that did little good. Soon we realized that our bedding was contaminated and we began laundering our bedding daily with bleach. We took scalding baths two-to-three times per day to control the itching and biting. And then we realized that the bugs were all over the house-on the furniture, in the rugs? Thinking it must be some kind of mite, I ordered diatomaceous earth and dusted it all over the house.

Realizing how prolific the mites were, I treated my front and rear yard and all the shrubs with an insecticide that kills jiggers.

Fran went to her doctor who found nothing and at her urging he prescribed Elimite. We both used it thinking life would soon be normal only to find that within four days all symptoms returned.

I went to a dermatologist who after observing all the bites and rashes, took a plug sample for analysis and prescribed antibiotics along with Diprolene. Again we had about four days of relative freedom and then all symptoms returned. My doctor called to inform me that the analysis of the plug sample showed nothing.

I tried everything I could think of--boric acid, sulfur? I mixed sulfur with Vaseline and applied it to my skin. I looked like I was jaundiced with liver disease; my silver hair was yellow. I noticed that my arms sparkled in sun light-maybe the eggs of the parasite.

After about three months of living in this hell. I experimented with approximately 30,000 mg of garlic and found that the symptoms stopped. After a few days I thought I was cured and stopped the garlic only to have the itching and biting return within days.

Fran moved away and got rid of her infestation with a product called Liquid Needles and ice baths. I could never bring myself to an ice bath and the Liquid Needles were like a band aid.

I relied heavily on garlic and eventually was at about 200,000 mg per day-I was popping those little round capsules like candy. I really didn't notice any garlic odor about me so my body must have been using all the garlic or I was oozing it from my pores and was oblivious to it.

Ultimately I confided in a friend who suggested that I experiment with diet-an alternative to garlic. I began only eating eggs and within a day all symptoms of itching and biting had subsided. Life can get boring with only eggs so I began adding one new food at a time. I found that anything with wheat or oat flour caused symptoms to return. Rice was safe. Fruit was a big problem. The next couple years was about experimenting with various foods.

Eventually I found an old-timer doctor who was familiar with bird mites. He prescribed ORAP which along with the diet enabled me to eventually expand my diet to what I identify as Stage II of the diet. The ORAP was stopped after ten weeks and I remained on Stage II of the diet for nearly ten years during which time I got married, had normal intimate relations, and was free of being contagious as long as I remained on Stage II of the diet.

Over the years I helped dozens of other sufferers rid themselves of the symptoms with the diet. I also found that the itching and biting symptoms can be caused by several different organisms:
? Nematodes such as Strongyloides stercoralis
? Morgellons
? Collembola (spring tails)
? Fungi
? Mites

I also learned that Lyme and Protozoan infections often accompany the parasites compromising one's immune system further complicating any attempts at treatment. And what's more frustrating is that the Lyme and Protozoan are not easily diagnosed except for special labs such as Bowen Labs in Florida and Igenix in California.

I learned that there are diagnostic tests for some of parasites but with most of them there are no diagnostic procedures much less treatment.

All of what I've learned is in an e-book, Soothing the Itch Within and the Diet to Control It. It has all the specifics of the diet, disinfection and
bathing protocols, medical approaches including transcripts with specialists in
the field, alternative approaches-rifing, ionic minerals, bentonite clay, faith healing--a chapter of testimonials, treatment of Lyme, Protozoan?
