on earth inspired him to take up herbalism.<br />
He explained. His wife had been diagnosed<br />
as having multiple sclerosis. He was told<br />
by doctors, ‘In two years your wife will be<br />
in a wheelchair. She will have passed away<br />
within five years’ (follow the science).<br />
In despair, he and his wife consulted a<br />
herbalist and a remedy was applied.<br />
‘That was ten years ago. Do you know<br />
where she is now,’ he asked me. Without<br />
waiting for my reply, he told me his wife was<br />
trotting around the local market with her two<br />
heavy shopping bags.’ He went on to explain<br />
that suitably impressed, he studied, learned<br />
and practised herbalism.<br />
I saw him on a subsequent occasion to<br />
see him if he could do anything about my<br />
being afflicted with chronic mouth ulcers,<br />
a condition that the NHS and dentists had<br />
given up on. Mr Evans gave me some dietary<br />
advice, especially avoidance of citric acid<br />
foods, red wine, lemons, oranges etc. my<br />
problem disappeared forever.<br />
Well, nearly forever. There were times<br />
when I forgot his advice about avoiding high<br />
acid foods, which incidentally cause gout<br />
and other crystal-forming tissue issues and<br />
the ulcers returned.<br />
He told me of a young RAF airman. The<br />
young man’s mouth ulcers were so severe<br />
that he contemplated taking his life. Same<br />
remedy with the same positive results.<br />
Due to age and winter dampness, I spend<br />
much of my mornings clearing my chest.<br />
Recently and before retiring for the night, I<br />
asked the great spirit if there was anything<br />
he might suggest to alleviate the problem.<br />
As I drifted off to sleep, I saw a strange<br />
apparition of an ordinary garden onion<br />
and a cutting knife. How odd, I thought as<br />
I drifted to slumber. The next time I was<br />
chesty I did slice a raw onion. Then chewing<br />
on a small slice, I breathed in deeply the<br />
onion’s vapours. The irritation disappeared<br />
immediately. Michael Walsh.
