here's the formula i used for curing a bad case of emphysema for "willard booth" of marion ark 12 yrs ago. into a gallon pot, put the seed pods (tops) of 6 "great mullein" plant, bring to a boil, add 3 tbls of powered "lobelia", and also "hyssop" 1 oz of white apple cider vinegar, 2 tbls of powdered cayenne red pepper. keep boiling until about a pint of water has boiled off, (it will turn dark or reddish like coffee). let cool until you can strain (i used a nylon stocking). sweeten with sugar or honey to taste this will keep in frig for a week or more ( look up "great mullein" and you'll be surprised at what all it can do!). hyssop and lobelia are great expectorants!! i had willard take 3 pop bottle caps a day but you can take more it won' t hurt you, you can also use a heating pad on chest and do a number of "vigorous exhales" for about 15 minutes after taking .... good luck and god bless...

JUDI; My sincerest appologies for the delay in getting back to you, "as for the great mullien" i used as a matter of fact when crossing the country driving truck one of the best places i found to aquire " great mullien" was along the interstates in arizona and new mexico, along the highways i would just pull over and break off the tops of the plants (seed pods only) this time of year is good because it looks like long sticks sticking up and some would get forks in the top of the plant (thats ok) as for the other ingredients just punch in "Herbal suppliers" in one of your search engines I use Google you should also search for "PICS OF GREAT MULLEIN the herb

I should have said "into a gallon of water in a gallon pot" and just a little fact about one of the ingredients: "HYSSOP". WHEN "JESUS" SAID "I THIRST" THE ROMAN CENTURIAN HELD UP A SPONGE SOAKED IN VINEGAR WITH "HYSSOP" IN IT!! So hyssop has really been used for healing for thousands of years! And "great Mullien" grows along a lot of highways all over the USA " AND IT'S FREE, GOD PUT IT THERE! WITH NO PRICE SIGN ON IT!! THIS TIME OF YEAR IT LOOKS LIKE A DARK STICK OR DEAD WEED. IN THE SUMMER MONTHS IT HAS SMALL YELLOW FLOWERS ON THE TOPS OF IT AND THE LEAVES ARE LIGHT GREEN AND FEEL LIKE FELT OR VELVET ( IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN, IT WILL MAKE YOU BREAK OUT AND FEELS LIKE ITCHING POWDER BUT IT WASHES OF WITH SOAP AND WATER"!)

Hi Linda,
You make it babe!
- 1 cup mullein leaf
- 1 cup hyssop
- 1 tablespoon lobelia leaf
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- and I think Cayenne pepper
JUST TYPE INTO EARTH CLINIC: JACK'S TEA FORMULA
Earth Clinic has made an easier way of making the tea because some people found it hard to get seed pods. LOOK ABOVE WHERE YOU PUT YOUR MESSAGE BABE. AS YOURS IS 2023 AND JACK PUT THAT RECIPE ON IN 2006 I THINK.
You should find it easy I am sure it is just above your question or scroll backup. Best wishes Rosina
P.s. I think someone used all powder forms, I am lucky I have all those lol. Good luck with making the tea.
Best wishes, Rosina Lock from London UK

Hello Jamie,
I think the mullein plant grows quite rampantly in most of the United States, so why don't you either get you a good book on identifying herbal plants or go on line to see if you can't find a picture of it.
You can usually spot it at roadsides as you drive along the rural areas roads. Just learn to identify them by the roadside, but take a short hike in the woodland areas to pick those seed pods which should be ready to pick in the next couple of months. The reason to not gather them from the roadside, is you don't want all the pollution they absorb from the automobile exhausts fumes. Seed pods mean exactly what it says. It is the pods containing the seeds and these will be found on the mullein plant on the tall stalk from the central part of the plant that bloomed and forms the seeds after the blooms.

Hi, I am having a very hard time finding Mullein seed pods for Jack's Emphysema cure. I tried emailing Jack, but he never responded. I found the leaves, but not the seed pods. Does anyone know where I can buy them, or if I can use the crushed leaves in the tea, and how much I would use? Please help me, my father-in-law has really bad Emphysema.

I would like to know if Jack's tea must be ground to a powder, or can it be measured out and used as a regular tea. I do have Mullein seeds and the plant in my area. Also should the seeds be fresh green ones or just the aged brown stalk seeds?
Thank you Jack for all your help, I have Emphysema, and am 71.

hi Hassan,
When you are buying from Ebay, buy it from a rated seller.
Jack's Tea works for emphysema, copd, bronchitis, cattarah.
I tried it for my bronchitis and it worked like a charm. I tried it without lobelia as I did not get it at that time and used Mulien Leaf not the pods. But still worked. It removes the congestion well and dissolves mucus build up.
You may have to prepare the tea and take till the symptoms subside and continue till you are cured may be 1 month or 2 months .
To buy You can contact http://www.healthyplanetcanada.com... it is a big healthcare store in Toronto, Canada. They do international shipping too call them and place an order. For immediate relief. Try 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Inhallation Method. It clears up the congestion in the 2nd minute. Good Health

I have never seen white apple cider vinegar. I cannot find it anywhere.
Where can this be purchased?
EC: Linda,
Most people use raw and organic apple cider vinegar for health issues, including lung issues, so just look for a quality organic apple cider vinegar that has "the mother" in it.
