Coffee - Plantation to Table.

Coffee facts

Q: Should coffee drinkers worry about an increased risk of cancer related to caffeine consumption?

A: The results of many prospective cohort studies provide strong evidence that consumption of coffee and caffeine is not associated with an increased incidence of cancer or an increased rate of death from cancer. Coffee consumption is associated with a slightly reduced risk of melanoma, nonmelanoma skin cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Stronger inverse associations have been observed between coffee consumption and the risk of endometrial cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. For endometrial cancer, the associations are similar with caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, whereas for hepatocellular carcinoma, the association appears to be stronger with caffeinated coffee.

Q: Does coffee consumption affect one’s risk of gallstones or kidney stones?

A: Coffee consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of gallstones and of gallbladder cancer, with a stronger association for caffeinated coffee than for decaffeinated coffee, suggesting that caffeine may play a protective role. In U.S. cohorts, consumption of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee was associated with a reduced risk of kidney stones.

Herbal Novice

Hi Susun.

I know nothing about herbs and infusions, but after finding your site, I am so interested in starting to learn.
What do you suggest for someone who knows absolutely nothing regarding herbs but has a strong desire for a more naturally healing lifestyle?
For instance, what should be my first book purchase, etc?

Thanks so much,
Melissa

 

Hi Melissa,

Welcome! We are glad that you found us. If you are just beginning, an excellent place to look at would be Susun’s free online course. It covers infusions along with other preparations such as medicinal vinegars, etc. and it has a lot of resources.
You can sign up for it here: http://www.herbalmedicinehealing.com

If you are looking at books, definitely the one to start with would probably be Susun’s Healing Wise.

You might want to work your way through her videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wisewomantradition

Go ahead if you are not doing so already and begin the herbal infusions… start working them into your day.
We would recommend reading over Susun’s site here: http://nourishingherbalinfusions.com/

Do let us know if you need anything further.

blessings,
Kim

How do classes work?

I'm looking to learn more about natural herbs...I'm new to this but have a very strong interest in learning more knowledge....as I was diagnosed with highblood pressure and a friend of mine turned me on to some natural ways I could help my condition due to the harsh reaction I had due to the medication....to sum it up it worked now I want to learn more so where do you suggest I start and how does the payment plans work.

Always give thanks

 

Hello Annette,

Welcome! Glad you found us. 

Sounds like you are probably looking at studying by Susun’s correspondence courses? These are set up on monthly payments of $50…. I’ve linked to some further details below. If you meant something else, just let me know… and of course, feel free to ask any further questions.

 

http://www.susunweed.com/Correspondence-Course.htm

 

Also some info on high blood pressure from Susun: “I like Motherwort tincture, a dose of 25 drops several times a day, to lower blood pressure. And an hour of yoga a week is also in order, or a mile walk at least three times a week. And a diet with lots of whole grains, well-cooked fruits and vegetables, and yogurt or fish more frequently than meat helps too.”

 

Along with the motherwort, be sure to incorporate lots of garlic in your diet, hawthorn tincture can be another helpful ally, nettle infusions ... Here is a link to one of Susun's articles with lots of ideas - it is discussing dealing with HPB during pregnancy, but that doesn't matter, the suggestions will still be the same as what I would be doing if it were me...

Also a lot more on infusions if you are unfamiliar with them: http://nourishingherbalinfusions.com/

Herbal Certification

Hi!
I'm looking at taking the ABCs of Herbalism.
Upon receiving certification am I allowed to say "I'm certified in herbalism from the Wise Woman Center/University"?

Thanks!
Robin

 

Hello Robin!
Many thanks for writing in. You do receive a certificate of completion and honestly that would be enough to say that you are certified in the Wise Woman Tradition if you so desire ...

However, there is no set certification that exists in the United States for herbalists, which actually suits Susun quite well:
http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Shamanic_Herbalist.htm and a bit more of an explanation of what all the talk of certification means: http://herbalistpath.blogspot.com/2008/02/there-is-no-official-certification-for.html

Studying with Susun Weed

Dear Susun,

My girlfriend...has always held you in high regards. I've read through some of your articles and books you've written and enjoy your approach to herbalism. We had a friend from New Orleans stay with us for a few days. She was undergoing an herbal apprenticeship in Montana. She is given case studies, readings, workshops, and visits the herb farm where her teacher lives once a month. I am coming to a point in my life where I'm feeling ready to become and herbalist...do you offer any online classes, or apprenticeships similar to the one a described above? If so, please enlighten me! Many thanks...

Hello,

Susun offers several ways to study with her. For long distance learning, she has correspondence courses. These are traditional in that communication with Susun is done via postal mail (you can write her anytime you wish) and also through scheduled talk time over the phone. These courses can be paid in full or through a payment plan and are self-paced. I would say the average is about one year but again, you work on it at your own pace. You can find descriptions and costs here:

http://www.herbalmedicinehealing.com/store/store_results.asp?Category=3&SubCat=1005&Section=Correspondence+Course

There are also online courses that are offered through Susun's Wise Woman University. We have a number of mentors offering different courses and currently Susun teaches: Menopausal Allies;  Your Healthy Vagina and Cervix; and Herbal First Aid. The lessons are in PDF format for downloading, there are pre-recorded webinars to access and lessons are submitted via computer. There is an online classroom forum for connecting with other students and with Susun as well.

For apprentices, there are several options for both live-in and live-out. This link will give you details on what to expect: http://www.susunweed.com/Weed_Wise_Apprentice.htm. You can also find descriptions and prices here: http://www.herbalmedicinehealing.com/store/store_results.asp?Category=3&SubCat=1009&Section=Intensives+%2F+Apprenticeship

Just let us know if you have any further questions.

Kim
