I grow mullein. I use crushed raw garlic that sits 7-10 minutes with some honey every day!

Buy pair of socks made from bison wool, merino wool, yak, or alpaca. They last a long time.

Hydrogen peroxide also helps to kill bathroom, kitchen, etc.. mold spores. Spray or wipe on wet, let set 10-15 mins, then use a small brush or worn out tooth brush to scrub mold areas. Wipe off debris and then spray or wipe on hydrogen peroxide again and let dry. Be careful, hydrogen peroxide can bleach materials.

I eat purslane, gallant soldier and lamb’s quarters in my salad or stir fried. Both with garlic and olive oil. No lard. Christ did not eat pig parts. I gave up that tradition of men.
