Laboratory research shows dandelion root extract killed more than 90% of colon cancer cells within 48 hours, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The extract triggered multiple cell-death pathways, even in cancers lacking the tumor-suppressor gene p53. In mice, it also slowed tumor growth without toxicity. Scientists stress that findings are preliminary and human clinical trials are still needed.
DANDELION ROOT
Dandelion root helps with liver health (quadruples bile flow), helps fat metabolism, it's high in potassium, helps digestion, and it's a good coffee substitute. It helps to clear the lymph and blood of toxins as well. Great for acne, hormonal issues, constipation, brain fog, and so much more.
Best form: Tea or Decoction
For Tea: 1-2 tea bags per 8 ounces of boiling water. Can add milk and/or blackstrap molasses to improve taste and add more minerals
For Decoction: Use 4-5 Tablespoons of raw or roasted dandelion root per quart of water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer on low for at least 20 minutes. Strain, and you can drink the liquid. You can also add milk and molasses for taste and minerals if needed. Since this is stronger than tea, start with just 1/4 cup a day, but you can work up to 1-2 cups per day.

"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.
With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.
White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.
When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.
People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.
There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”

Juana Maria was a Native American woman from the Nicoleño tribe, who became known as the “Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island.” After her people were tragically wiped out, she remained the last surviving member of her tribe. From 1835 to 1853, she lived completely alone on San Nicolas Island, located off the coast of Alta California, for 18 years.
In 1853, she was finally discovered and removed from the island. Unfortunately, because she had lived in isolation for so long, she was unable to communicate with others, as no one spoke her language anymore. Her extraordinary life story later inspired the famous 1960 children’s novel Island, whi

Jay Silverheels – The First Native American Star of
Jay Si (Harold J. Smith onMoh,athl, andpoet wf. BeT, tTh,
Born on the Si in OntarioMohawk Nation. He excelled in lacrosse and boxing in his youth, and even played professional lacrosse in the United States under the name "Silverheels" — a nickname inspired by his swift running style.
His athleticism eventually brought him to Hollywood, where he began working as a stuntman and extra in westerns. Despite the lack of diverse roles for Native actors, he worked his way up through determination and talent.
🎬 Fame as Tonto in The Lone Ranger
In 1949, Silverheels was cast as Tonto in the television series The Lone Ranger, which ran for 221 episodes until 1957. The role brought him national attention and made him the first Indigenous actor to star in a recurring TV role.
While Tonto was a groundbreaking character at the time, the role was not without controversy. The character often spoke in broken English and reinforced stereotypes, but Silverheels used his fame to bring awareness to the lack of authentic Native representation in Hollywood.
"I’m not ashamed of Tonto. He did what he could with what he had." – Jay Silverheels
Off-screen, Silverheels was an outspoken advocate for Native American actors. In the 1960s, he co-founded the Indian Actors Workshop in Los Angeles to help Indigenous performers gain skills and fight typecasting in film and TV.
He also wrote poetry and remained a proud voice for Indigenous identity throughout his life. His contributions helped pave the way for future Native American actors in an industry that had long ignored or misrepresented them.
Jay Silverheels passed away in 1980 at age 67, but his legacy continues. He is remembered as a trailblazer who broke racial barriers in Hollywood, a role model for Indigenous youth, and a man who never forgot his roots.
"He gave a face and a voice to Native Americans in mainstream media — at a time when no one else would."
