The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

In Idaho, Oregon, and Montana, we get wild huckleberries in the summer. They are always sold at our local farmer's markets. The primary difference between huckleberry and blueberry is partly botanical and partly geographical. They’re members of the plant family Ericaceae, commonly referred to as heath. Both are types of shrubs with alternating green, oblong leaves. They have clusters of small pink, red, or white bell-shaped flowers that turn into small berries. There are both deciduous and evergreen varieties.

Here’s where common names sometimes make plant identification more difficult. In the eastern and southeastern US, plants known as huckleberries belong to the genus Gaylussacia.

Throughout the Pacific Northwest, wild huckleberries are classified in the genus Vaccinium, right along with blueberries.

So, do wild huckleberries provide the same benefits? We eat a lot of them during the summer.
