I have a strange request for the ping list: Does anyone still have bindweed actively growing?
I need some leaves, from the Convolvulus arvensis species. It has been shown to have strong anti-tumor properties. There are other forms of bindweed, but this is the medicinal one. Here’s a page that shows how to tell which is which: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/nursery-weeds/feature_articles/vines/vine_weeds.html
Back in February, my cat, who is the sweetest cuddliest kitty in the world, was diagnosed with lymphoma. The vet gave her 1-3 months to live. I’ve been experimenting with different herbal treatments, and they definitely help her feel better, but the tumors keep growing. I’m hoping this might be the missing ingredient. I only came across the study a few days ago, and the bindweed on my land has gone dormant. I couldn’t find a single trace of it!
If anyone has any still growing, please PM me!
Do you know if it grows in Indiana? I ask because there’s a telephone pole at a four way stop near me that has a plant that looks like a Morning Glory and it has grown to the top of the pole. It’s huge. Could that possibly be bindweed?
