Why is this video not “all over” on the internet? Since the swine flu, I have been using the tincture as well as during Covid with great success. My WordPress is loaded with articles. I was happily surprised to see this video. Please share your opinion because I can’t be “neutral” anymore, from what I have seen all these years and many of my patients as well, There is no place, of course, for expensive “double blind studies ” for this weed https://dr-bueno.com

The video you shared focuses on Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), a plant it describes as a “biological impossibility” due to its unique nutritional profile and extreme resilience [00:25].

The video offers several reasons why this information might not be “all over” the mainstream internet or grocery stores:

  • Economic Disincentives: Purslane cannot be patented, genetically modified for sterility, or sold as a unique hybrid that requires farmers to buy new seeds every year [09:40]. Because it reproduces freely and grows for free in driveways and fields, there is little profit motive for large agricultural corporations to promote it [13:21].
  • The Herbicide Industry: The video notes that the global herbicide market, valued at $40 billion, sells products specifically designed to eradicate purslane [08:53]. Many homeowners and farmers have been taught to view it as an “invasive enemy” rather than a staple food [09:31].
  • Competition with Supplements: Purslane is the richest vegetable source of Omega-3 fatty acids ever measured, containing alpha-linolenic acid and even traces of EPA [04:09]. The video suggests the pharmaceutical and supplement industries may not want consumers to know that a plant growing for free can provide nutrients they sell in $20 bottles [13:14].
  • Cultural Shift: While much of the Western world was taught to “poison” it, the video points out that half the world never forgot its value; it remains a staple in India (Kulfa), Greece (Glistrida), Mexico (Verdolagas), and the Middle East [10:34].

Nutritional and Botanical Highlights from the Video:

  • Heart Health: In the 1960s “Seven Countries Study,” the population of Crete had the lowest cardiovascular mortality rates, largely attributed to their daily consumption of purslane [03:33].
  • Nutrient Density: It contains 5 to 7 times more Vitamin E than spinach, 6 times more beta-carotene than carrots, and high concentrations of melatonin, glutathione, potassium, magnesium, and calcium [05:10].
  • Photosynthesis: Yale researchers discovered purslane uses both C3 and C4 photosynthesis simultaneously in the same cells, allowing it to grow fast while surviving extreme drought [07:25].

Given your experience as a physician and your successful use of the tincture, you might find it interesting that the video highlights a study where a diet rich in purslane led to 70% fewer deaths from all causes in heart attack survivors, a result so significant the study was stopped early for ethical reasons [05:43].
