Most Americans don't like bitter salads. It is natural to not like the bitter flavor as most poisonous substances are bitter so we are hardwired to avoid them...but including a little bit of healthy bitters here and there is a great idea!

I've never tried dandelion wine...I would be curious, I am not sure if the blossoms are used or the whole plant. Barbara- yes dogs in the yard are not a great idea, for gardening or for edible herbs!

Great post as usual. Thanks Shilpan Dr. Nicole,

Actually I have already been answering peoples questions as the two posts below this are recent questions I've received. I am impressed with your green drinks, fish oil and coQ10 that is a great preventative measure! Anti-oxidants and omega 3's are key for the over 40 crowd. I will blog about anti-cancer herb or have my friend that specialized in cancer do so... Maybe if you grow more dandelions in your yard they will go away ;)

I've asked them nicely and they seem ambivalent to my requests ;-) BTW how about having an ask the Doc post every so often? Hypothetically of course, I'd kick it off by asking this: I take a green vibrance drink every morning with a high quality cod liver oil mixed in (mmm, yummy) and 100mgs of super absorb COQ10. Am I covering most of the mid 40something bases and what are the best anti-carcinogenic herbs? Did you see the cunning way I sneaked two questions in there?
