"By the way American slippery welm bark powder is very very helpful for diverticulitulitis" What's a welm? And if you meant elm, that's aspirin. Eat the seeds, but take an aspirin first! Marilyn Sorry the two finger typist strikes again! As mark twain said "Be wary of health books you may die of a misprint"! It is "Slippery Elm" no relation to asprin and works in a very different way. See my Book "The Healing Garden" Simon and Schuster for more detail on how to use it. Howdy Marilyn, Actually Asprin was synthesised from Meadowsweet ( Botanically once called "Spiraea" where the name came from) not from Willow Bark as most people believe. Michael Bailes
