    I have frequently seen butterflies on feces in Idaho and in the Oregon Cascades – bear feces seemed to be the preferred variety. I have heard that they contain nutrients and trace minerals. One reference suggest that If you find a dry one on a trail wet it and wait a few minutes for the butterflies to appear. I haven’t tried it.

    I have tried it , lee. It works. Listerine does too. Every time I’m on the trail
    and I find one, I stop and wet it. On the way back thru in the later part of the day, the trail I walked is full of them. The turds are still there but smaller and dr—-,
    never mind.

    Thanks ar, Milt, and Tom. Greg, your’s is a rather dismal opinion!

    I’m not the one with the string of bad luck..But then it could have been those butterflies I ate the other day.. Several years ago the other day..those worms as well..Now Lee answer me this, why would a human drink urine ? Is it stupid ? And what should we do to someone who drinks their own urine ? And read this message, and tell me you knew this…

    I would have to read Greg’s post before breakfast….Not to change the subject, but it reminds me of the passage in “Hunter”, by J.A. Hunter, where the Pigmy’s would treat the “spitting cobra’s” venom, which would blind you, by holding the fellow down and pissing in his eyes…..(it worked!) acid vs alkaline….

    I like alternative health remedy’s, and even though I’ve seen a lot of articles on this, I just can’t seem to get interested in it beyond the reading part..

  10. jes on June 24th, 2009 10:11 am

    Greg, for some reason, I can see why…next, they’ll have you sucking the juice along with those butterflies….Just don’t forget to get ‘em wet!

  11. Lee on June 24th, 2009 10:15 pm

    No, Greg, I did not know all that. Thanks for the connection.
    My daughter (an EMT ) did tell me once that in an emergency, if you need sterile fluid, use fresh urine.
    There are also cultures in Siberia which recycle urine from people that have used Aminita muscaria (fly agaric) for its halucinogenitic properties. I heard about this from my mother way back in the dark ages ( the 1950s) – She and my father had been in Sweden to study micorriza.
    Some rabbits eat the first “pellets” of the day to recycle vitamin B.
    We know not what goes on in all the natural systems

    And old American Native buddy used to always tell me to piss on cuts on your fingers and they would heal quicker.. I think there is something to this, I was thinking today that with the clean alkaline diet, fresh water only, and no sugars, at least modernized or altered sugars..lots of natural juices and vegys, it might or probably would be healthy…Still not sure about it though..Even though I know a couple herbalists who I trust a lot, use this remedy, and recommend it all the time..One of them has so much documentation on the subject he could write about six books on it… Still not ready for a serving though..lol…

    Lee, I presume you mean mycorrhiza….I had all but forgotten about them, but there are symbiotic relationships in practically all of nature, including our own bodies where within are bacteria that without us they would die, and without them, we would die…..Reminds me of the termite, who without the paramecium, wouldn’t be able to digest the wood they eat…

    If I had coconuts laying around I’d go for Coconut milk for my sterile solution save the piss for toughening up my hands and to help cure my hides

  15. Lee on June 25th, 2009 12:59 pm

    Milt, they are beautiful swallowtails!

  16. ar on June 25th, 2009 2:21 pm

    What a wonderful thot, George, having coconuts laying around. Cool ocean
    breeze in your face.

    I picture a petite little island just off shore enough to wade to in low tide. Coral
    reef out in front to snorkle from. Fish galore and the trees are laden with ripe
    coconuts.

    The stuff dreams are made of….., and they do come true. 1972-3, Panama,
    Canal Zone.

    *question: fifty miles between Atlantic and Pacific oceans with a sea-level
    difference of three feet – why?

  17. jes on June 25th, 2009 8:43 pm

    George, it’s good for niter and saltpeter, as during the War Between the States, around Stone Mountain, all the troops would piss in a basin, back in a cave, which was then mined and mixed to make the gunpowder….
    And ar, if you come on down to Florida, you can head out to Steinhatchee and the grass flats, and bring a snorkel and a facemask, and cruise the shallows, picking up bay scallops, and watching them squirt away with their sapphire eyes reflecting the light in an evergreen forest of seagrass….and eat your fill, raw or cooked…right beside the water…

    Jes, that sounds great. You watch for alligators, tho. And I don’t want to go
    anywhere near the tampa area…

    Not that it matters to me or to Milt, but that’s my photo not Milt’s. I say this mainly because he will not get the notice of the comments and compliments unless he is the one posting it. He seldom reads the comments beyond what he gets in his email box.

    The day I took this picture, my wife and I rode far up the mountain pass onto public lands in Riley Plantation. We found tons of lady slipper flowers, etc. The water in the river was quite high from all the rain. Within 2 feet of the roaring water and waterfalls, I took this picture. I was interested in getting a nice photo of the butterflies and have often seen tons of butterflies clinging to piles of dung.

    I’m always amazed at some of the things I post that draw the most discussion.

Got something to say?
