Information From Wikipedia: .ORG
“org (organization) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used in the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS). In the typical style of most gTLDs, org is sometimes pronounced in word form as ‘org’, ‘dot-org’, or ‘dot-oh-are-gee (O R G)’ when spoken, although not all users of the TLD agree on this usage.
The org TLD was originally intended for non-profit organizations, or organizations of a non-commercial character. It was one of the original top-level domains (the other five being com, edu, gov, mil and net) , established in January 1985, originally intended for use by organizations that did not meet the requirements for other gTLDs. The MITRE Corporation was the first group to register a org domain with mitre.org in July 1985.
Registrations in the org are processed via accredited registrars worldwide. Anyone can register an org second-level domain. Although org was recommended for non-commercial entities, there are no restrictions to registration. There are many instances of org being used by commercial sites, although some people[who?] question whether it is ethical to do so. org was also commonly recommended for use by individuals, although name and info are now alternatives.
The org TLD has been operated since January 1, 2003 by Public Interest Registry, who assumed the task from VeriSign Global Registry Services, a division of VeriSign.
Although organizations anywhere in the world can register org domains, many countries have a second-level domain with a similar purpose under their own country code top-level domain. Such second-level domains are usually of the form org.cc or or.cc, where cc is the country code. jp and uk are examples of this convention.”
I was Googling today trying to find the average pricing that 2 character domains were selling for as I am considering buying a LL.ORG.
There are three different kinds of characters that can be used in domains — a letter, number or hypen. When people are referring to shorter domains they will use “L” for a letter, “N” for a number, or “C” for a letter, number or hyphen.
So after I found the best site to price out LL.ORG domains I decided to put up a 3 pages with information and price on LL.COM, LL.NET, and LL.ORG domains and get them to rank high in Google. Getting pages to rank for key phrases is part of driving traffic to your Website.
Here are the 3 pages I put up:

More Christ Like Blog will be one year old at the end of this current month (July 2009). In the one year that the blog has been up I have gained quite a bit of favor with Google. When I post a new article it goes into the Google index with in 5 mins and will rank for non-competitive titles with in 15 mins.
How To Rank For Key Phrases
By optimizing my web pages correctly (see below), having lots of content (I now have over 500 pages in the Google index), and the “site authority” that Google has given me I am able to rank quite well for non-competitive key phrases.
WordPress Makes On-Page Optimization Easy
The Wordpress blogging software that I makes it very easy to optimize my web pages correctly for key phrases I want to rank for. Wordpress puts the title of your blog article in the URL, in the Page Title Tag, and in the H1 tag. If you want to you can also the key phrase bold in the first paragraph. Putting the key phrase you want the page to rank for in these different places in the on-page tells Google that this page considers that term important.
Then you want to repeat the words from the key phrase you want to rank for a number of times in the content. I don’t keep track of this because you will be writing about the key phrase you want to rank for anyway.
I currently have the WordPress software set up so that it puts the first sentence in the Meta Description tag. When I set up a blog I typically set it up so that the title of the article goes into the Meta Description tag and then two dashes and then the first sentence. I need to set it up that way on this blog. The Meta Description tag is a hiden tag in the HTML code that you don’t see when you look at the web page but Google considers it quite important.
There is another tag called the Meta Keyword tag which people typically put the words from the key phrase they are trying to rank for and I just checked and found out that was not set up on this blog. This tag doesn’t matter very much but I should have it set up any way. So I have a couple of things for my coder to do.
Okay so back to the three pages I put up. The main thing I needed to do is decide what key phrase I wanted to rank for. This was pretty simple in this case as I had just spend an hour or so searching for what I was looking for so I had searched for a number of different key phases.
I made the main key phrase I had been searching the title of the page and added into the first sentence other words for secondary key phrases I wanted to rank for.
The Key Phrases I Am Ranking For
The following is the 30 key phrases that I wanted to rank for. I have made the 30 key phrases hype text which when clicked on shows you the SERP (search engine results page) for that key phrase in Google. I have also noted at the end of each key phrases how the MoreChristLike.Com blog ranks for that key phrase. Keep in mind I just put these terms up a few hours ago.
While the terms are not very competitive they will still send me about 100 to 200 unique visitors a month.

Information From Wikipedia: .NET
“net (network) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet’s Domain Name System. The net gTLD is currently operated by VeriSign. Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and internationalized domain names are also accepted (see details).
net is one of the original top-level domains (the other five being com, edu, gov, mil, and org) despite not being mentioned in RFC 920, having been created in January 1985. It was initially intended to be used only for network providers (such as Internet service providers). However, there are no formal restrictions on who can register a net domain name. Therefore, while still popular with network operators, it is often treated as a second com. It is currently the fourth most popular top-level domain, after com, cn, and de.
VeriSign, the operator of net after acquiring Network Solutions, held an operations contract that expired on June 30, 2005. ICANN, the organization responsible for domain management, sought proposals from organizations to operate the domain upon expiration of the contract. VeriSign regained the contract bid, and secured its control over the net registry for another six years.”
I was Googling up Buy Domains to find sites that sell used domains and I found Active Domain a domain registrar that is selling .info sites for $2.85.
Of course they just advertise “domain name for as low as $2.85/yr” and they don’t tell you it is only for .info domains.
But what I found interesting about this site was the iSpeakVideo that comes on the home page. It is very impressive.
Here are a few more examples:
Robert Heyman Law — Tampa Bay Personal Injury Attorney.
DDSonline — Continuing education training for dental professionals.
BizTrade — Brokerage that sells small to mid-sized privately held companies.
You can see more examples on iSpeakVideo’s Example Page.

LL.COM on BuyDomain.Com average price $346k (5 sites).
Information From Wikipedia: .COM
“.com (commercial) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet’s Domain Name System. It was one of the original top-level domains (TLDs, the other five being .edu, .gov, .mil, .net and .org) established in January 1985, and has grown to be the largest TLD in use. It was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense.
The DoD contracted its maintenance to SRI International, which managed it as DDN-NIC (alternatively known as SRI-NIC or simply “the NIC” (Network Information Center) at the domain nic.ddn.mil. Beginning October 1, 1991 it was contracted to Government Systems Inc. (GSI), which sub-contracted it to Network Solutions Inc. (NSI).
On January 1, 1993 the National Science Foundation assumed responsibility for its maintenance, as .com was primarily being used for non-defense interests. The NSF contracted its maintenance to Network Solutions. In 1995 the NSF authorized NSI to begin charging registrants (of .org and .net as well as .com) an annual fee, for the first-time since its inception. Initially it was US$50 per year, with US$35 going to NSI, and US$15 going to a government fund.
New registrations had to pay for the first two years, making the new-domain registration fee US$100. In 1997 the United States Department of Commerce assumed authority over it (along with the rest of the generic top level domains). It is currently operated by VeriSign, which had acquired Network Solutions. (VeriSign later spun off Network Solutions’ non-registry functions into the current company which continues as a registrar.) In the English language it is consistently pronounced as a word, dot-com, and has entered common parlance this way.
VeriSign reported that in mid-2008 around 77 million .com domains were registered.
Although .com domains were originally intended to designate commercial entities (others such as government agencies or educational institutions have different top-level domains assigned to them), there has been no restriction on who can register .com domains since the mid-1990s. With the commercialization and popularization of the Internet, the .com domain was opened to the public and quickly became the most common top-level domain for websites, email, and networking.
Many companies that flourished in the period from 1997 to 2001 (the time known as the “dot-com bubble”) incorporated the .com suffix into company names; these became known as dot-coms or dot-com companies. The introduction of .biz in 2001, which is restricted to businesses, has had no impact on the popularity of com.
Although companies anywhere in the world can register .com domains, many countries have a second-level domain with a similar purpose under their own country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Such second-level domains are usually of the form .com.xx or .co.xx, where xx is the ccTLD. Australia (.com.au), Greece (.com.gr), Mexico (.com.mx), South Korea (.co.kr), India (.co.in), the People’s Republic of China (.com.cn), Japan (.co.jp), and the United Kingdom (.co.uk) are all examples.
Many noncommercial sites, such as those of nonprofit organizations or governments (including the Moroccan Consulate in Bordeaux), use .com addresses.[citation needed] Some consider this to be contrary to the domain’s original purpose and might say that a .org, .gov, or other more specific TLD might be more appropriate for such sites[citation needed].
However, many organizations prefer the recognizability of a .com domain to a less familiar one.[citation needed] As well, the original purposes of many of the top level domains are often considered irrelevant without restrictions on registrations.[citation needed]
Registrations are processed via registrars accredited by ICANN; internationalized domain names are also accepted.”
Sites On My IP has a number of nice tools on their site. The one I like the best is their home page Sites On My IP tool.
It’s a nice SEO Tool that can help you in a number of different ways.
1. Other way you can use this tool is to see how many other websites (and who they are) are hosted on the same server as your site is on. It is good to know how many sites your hosting company is putting on a server. If there are to many sites on one server that will effect your response time.
Also if you are looking at getting shared hosting you can ask the company for the IP address of the server they would be placing your site and check and see how many other sites are on that server.
2. If you are submitting your Website to a directory you can see if there are other directories on the same IP address. This can help you avoid a farm of directories.
3. Also if you are buying a site for some one that sells a lot of sites you can quickly see what other sites he has on the same hosting IP address.

Wheatgrass can be used for weight control as it is a natural Appetite Suppressant. Wheatgrass not only offers a quick energy source with lots of nutrients but it also shuts down the part of the brain that thinks it is hungry.
I found this accidentally out before I had even read it anywhere. A few days ago I started mixing 1 to 2 ounces of Wheatgrass juice with 1 to 2 liters of water and would drink it through out the day. Right away I noticed that I no longer had an appetite and that I could easily go the whole day with out eating.

Below is short review and link to a booklet published by D.S. Warner (1842-1895) on Marriage and Divorce and a letter by the Church of God Gospel Trumpet (est. 1881) ministers that was issued during a ministers assemble at the General Camp Meeting at Moundsville, W. VA June 1901.
These two documents show the position of the Church of God Gospel Trumpet (which became what is known as the Church of God Anderson) on the issue of whether a person needs to leave an marriage which the Bible deems as adultery if they got into that marriage not knowing it was adultery. The Church of God Gospel Trumpet is the group that the Church of God Restoration (est. 1980) has it roots from and claims was the restoration of the church as predicted in the book of Revelation.
The reason for posting these two documents is to show the inconsistency in the claims of the Church of God Restoration and Danny Layne (1947-), its Apostle and ruling Elder, that the Church of God Gospel Trumpet (est. 1880) was the beginning of the full restoration of the church just before the return of Christ. The inconsistency is concerning the position that D.S. Warner and the Church of God Gospel Trumpet took concerning how to deal with couples that were in marriages that the Bible deemed adulterous.
My article on Church of God Restoration Movement Dating provides quotes from D.S. Warner which show how he used scriptures in Daniel and Revelation to come up with the date of 1880 as the restoration of the church which was to happen just before the second coming of Christ. It has been reported by other Church of God Gospel Trumpet ministers that D.S. Warner believed the second coming of Christ would happen before his death. Warner died on December 12, 1895.
It is these dates and D.S. Warner’s method of dating, that the Church of God Restoration lead by Danny Layne uses to try to establish their No-Sect group. They claim to be the one true visible church and that all Christians need to come-out of all other church groups as they have their foundation on the bottomless pit.
Must They Separate? — This letter from the ministers assembled in General Camp Meeting at Moundsville, W. VA June 1901 concerning the issue of divorce and remarriage that was published in the Gospel Trumpet (est. 1880).
The letter shows a change in position by the ministers of the Church of God Gospel Trumpet from what D.S. Warner taught. In this letter they not only were allowing couples to stay in adulterous marriage but they were forbidding them to leave them and holding that leaving an adulterous marriage was unscriptural. This was a step further than D.S. Warner’s position in his booklet “Marriage and Divorce” where he left it up to the couple whether they stayed together or separated.
Both the Church of God Guthrie, Oklahoma (est. 1915) and the Church of God Restoration (est. 1980) hold that the Church of God Gospel Trumpet compromised in 1910 over the outward adornment issue of wearing the tie. But at the same time they would consider the allowance D.S. Warner made and the instruction by the Church of God Gospel Trumpet ministers in 1901 in this letter to be an allowance for adultery.
In my view changing from allowing a person to make their own decision whether to leave an adulterous marriage to telling them that they can’t leave is a much more serious compromise that compromising on outward adornment by putting a tie on.
It would appear that serious compromise was effecting this group by 1901 which is only 21 years after it started.
Marriage and Divorce — In this booklet D.S. Warner taught that there is no Bible command to separate two people who are married when either of the couple had a living spouse from a previous lawful1 marriage. This was only in the cases where the couple had got into the second marriage not knowing the Bible taught that second marriages were adultery when you had a living spouse from a previous lawful1 marriage.
Warner held the position that it was up to the couple to decide if they should stay together and that no one had any Bible basics to require them to separate.
This makes the Church of God Gospel Trumpet an adultery group (a church group that allows members in good standing to marry into or stay in an adulterous marriages) from its beginning of 1880. This raises serious questions about the Church of God Restoration and their claim to be the one true visible church and their attempts to date the restoring of God’s church back to 1880 through the work of D.S. Warner when the group they are claiming was the start of the restoring of the church was an adultery group.

Today I biked 25km and ran 10km. Here are my times.
12.59km Bike from home base to Springwater: 24:56
5km First lap of North/South shore trail: 34:29
5km Second Lap if North/South shore trail: 36:29
12.59km Bike from Springwater to home base: 31:09
In the above case I burned 2.2% more calories per minute biking than running. Below I show how I worked out the numbers. I am showing these numbers to dispel the myth that everyone will burn more calories running than biking.
To rate the running I use the standard 66 calories burned per 1km no matter what speed you run or walk at.
10km in 70:58 (70.97) works out to a burn of 9.3c/min.
With the biking I worked out the average speed and then use the tables that are produced from Dr. Edward Coyle numbers to find out the calories burned when biking.
km/h | calories/km
16: 16
24: 19
32: 24
40: 29
48: 37
25.18km in 56:05 (56.08) is an average speed of 26.94km/h (0.45km/min)
The calories burned biking at 26.94km/h is 21.14c/km. This which works out to 9.51c/min which is 2.2% more calories burned biking than running.
Tomorrow I plan on pushing both my biking and running harder. Today I had to deal with quite a bit of wind which effected my times and increased my calorie burn but the above numbers don’t reflect the increased calorie burn.
I pulled off a 24:01 on 12.59km on June 9th. Just a bit short of breaking 24 minutes. That works out to an average speed of 31.4km/h which is pretty good for me. Back on June the 2nd I did the 12.59k in 24:55. So all I need to do is 23:35 to get up to 32km/h which is the goal I am working toward. This means I need to cut 26 seconds off.
I got the 24:01 by watching my average speed. I have a pretty good idea how many 1/10th of a km/h I will loose on each hill so what I do is try to peddle up a surplus above the 32.0km/h.
For example on the above bike when I hit the 5km mark I was at 32.7km/h. My 1st 12.59km leg has a 300m hill at the 11km mark where I loose 3/10th of my average speed. Then the leg ends with a steep hill where I loose 5/10th off my average speed. Right at the end of a leg is not where you want have to deal with a steep hill.
I think I could do 12.5km on the flats at 32km/h without to much of a problem. So I am getting close to being able to do 32km/h for the first leg. I think another month and I should have it. Then I will have to work on doing the second leg (the first leg back to home base) at 32km/h.
Question: What are the differences between what Wesley taught and what the Holiness people currently are teaching on entire sanctification?
Answer: The main differences between Wesley and the Holiness people on entire sanctification are as follows:
1) Wesley held the people in the OT could experience entire sanctification. Most holiness people teach that entire sanctification was only after the day of Pentecost.
2) Wesley didn’t hold that entire sanctification and the baptism of the Holy Spirit were the same thing. The Holiness people teach that it is one and the same thing.
3) Wesley taught a very high standard of entire sanctification and that it was a radical change of perfect love with no carnality in the life at all. The Holiness people today hold a much lower standard where carnality can be in the life of a person that has experienced entire sanctification.
4) Wesley taught the long method and that most people would experience progressive sanctification throughout their life and entire sanctification shortly before death. The Holiness people have gone with Phebe Palmer’s shorter method (called altar theology) of claiming entire sanctification by faith, based on the thought that Christ is the altar, and if you put your life completely on the altar by faith, the altar sanctifies the gift.
John W. Keim is a Amish alternative practitioner from Mills, Pennsylvania who developed a treatment for dressing burns wounds that keeps the bandaging from sticking to the wound when the dressing is changed.
The treatment dresses the wound with B&W ointment and then puts scalded burdock leaves over the wound before wrapping the wound with gauze. This enables the wound be changed twice a day without the pain that is normally associated with gauze sticking to the wound.
The following is a chapter from John W. Keim’s book “Comfort for the Burned and Wounded” detailing how he discovered this treatment after changing a serious burn on his two year old child where the removal of the gauze caused his child great pain and crying.
I cried and praised the Lord when I read this chapter and I hope it is a blessing to you also.
This book is copyrighted but I consider the following excerpt from his book as part of a review of the book. The can purchase Comfort for the Burned and Wounded online for $11.95.
–John W. Keim
As a consequence of a sudden accident, boiling water had scalded the entire chest and abdominal area of our two-year-old son. When we removed his clothes, to our horror the skin slid off along with them. An area 2 inches in diameter under the navel was scalded to the third degree.
After we discussed all the possible treatments we could remember, we tried cold water first. Next a lard-and-flour mixture was tried. Union Salve was then applied, but because the child cried that the salve burned so much, we removed it. Finally, we applied a heavy coating of a mild herbal salve and gauze wraps for overnight.
In the morning the salve had melted and the gauze had glued itself to the skinless body parts. When we tried to remove the gauze, we discovered it had struck to every inch of the entire chest and abdomen.
We tried removing the affixed gauze one-sixteenth of an inch at a time and, later, one inch at a time. But either way caused pain and bleeding, and the child’s screams created a great deal of sweating for the caretakers. After half an hour of this unimaginable ordeal, I decided I could never again dress a burn victim in this manner.
Thoroughly perplexed, I told the others to make the boy as comfortable as they could while I made a trip to town with our horse and buggy. I planned to check the drugstores for better dressings, but after changing clothes and hitching up the horse, I really wondered what good would be accomplished by going to town.
For some time we had been receiving letters from relatives in another State about two of their children who had been badly burned in a flash fire. Their local hospital had transferred the children to a burn unit in a large hospital a long way from the parents. For three months we had been reading the pitiful stories of these children’s suffering.
I could not bear the thought of my own son’s screams and pleading that, we were told, were a daily part of these children’s dressing changes and cleaning.
(Later I read that nurses who care for patients in burn units take special training to enable them to go on with their duties regardless of the screams of their patients. Even experienced trauma nurses claim that changing dressing on child burn patients is the most heartrending work they do.)
Instead of leaving for town, I turned back toward the house, but I also wanted to be somewhere alone. I knew by staying around the house I could continually be distracted by the incoming public.
I left word at the house that I had changed plans, that instead of going to town, I was going into the woods to think and pray. I meantioned I did not want anyone to call or search for me for approximately one hour.
Leaving the horse hitched and tied to the rail, I left at a rapid pace, follwing the edge of the field leading toward the woods behind our home. The old wagon tracks on the way were by then pretty well covered with a variety of self-seeded weeds, but I paid no attention to any of my surroundings on this trek. My thoughts were heavily embedded on what I would do or find in the woods.
I thought of how God create the Earth. I honestely felt He kept the poor in mind while Earth was being created. If that were true, the people living on islands without hospitals and drugstores should also be able to find necessities for their needs. And since even such primitive people had fire, they also would have burns.
I tried to think of all the things a man might find on an island to help treat such burns. I thought of water, mud, rocks, bark, wood, leaves.
As leaves crossed my mind, I thought of the holly leaves I had seen in our school at Christmastide when the teacher brought a wreath to show us. The leaves were smooth and shiny. Surely they would not stick to an open wound. But, I thought, we do not have smooth, shiny leaves like those. At that very time I was walking through a heavy patch of plantain (sow-ear in Dutch) leaves. I had nearly passed through them when suddenly my subconscious realized they were similar to what I was looking for.
Using my hat as a gathering vessel, I filled it with fresh plantain leaves. Taking the leaves home, we applied B.F.C. Salve to the burn area and then covered it with a single layer of the fresh plantian leaves. We repeated this twice a day.
Within five days the entire scalded area was covered with new skin. This was even true for the sections scalded to a third-degree burn. The more remarkable, and satisfying to a father, consequence of this treatment was that it causes little or no pain to the patient in direct contrast to the accepted burn treatment of the day.
Along with the dressings we supplemented the diet with extra fresh fruits and vegetables. Depending on the availability of food suitable for juicing, time and help needed for extraction and financial means, a program was outlined to support my son’s body during the healing process.
In our many subsequent patients, it has seldom taken more than seven days to get complete new skin coverage on second and third-degree burns. This, of course, varies with the precentage of body parts injured and the previous health of the patient.
Amazingly, through over two decades of using these dressings we have never had an infection. We have seen only two cases of scarring, both of which were minimal, and we feel that in one of those cases the scarring might have been avoided if the parents had better understood the correct method of dressing.
I started another Wheatgrass tray today with two cups of Spring Wheat Kernels that soaked for 12hr and spouted for 1 day. This time I put all the kernels in one 8″ x 20″ tray.
When I let them sprout for 2 or 3 days they double in size and if I put them all in one tray the spouted kernels would be around 1″ thick.
I want to see what the yield is like on this tray compare to two trays with 1 cup of kernels per tray. It will be interesting to see how much more the yeild will be of 2 trays with 1 cup of kernels vs 1 tray with 2 cups of kernels.
Here are the trays I currently have going.
06-11 1T, 2 Cups, 12hr Soak, 1 Day Sprout:
06-10 2T, 2 Cups, 12hr Soak, 2 Day Sprout:
06-07 2T, 6-10 Out, 2cups, 12hr Soak, 3day Spout:
This salve was formulated specifically for a covering after a loss of body skin. It helps the uncovered body parts from dehydrating and reduce unwanted bacteria from entering. It was designed to improve the skin in combination with scalded herbal leaves.
The damaged areas may be covered with the ointment first then the cooled, wet leaves applied over the salve. Make sure every spot is covered with the leaves that has any loss of skin or painful areas. The salve may be applied without the leaves if there is no skin loss.
The object of the leaves is to avoid the gauze from sticking to the skinless body parts and promote a healthy covering. At the same time the moist leaves will have a beneficial effect to keep the wounds and therefore the body from dehydrating.
This salve may be used as a substitute for most other ointments in cases where Vaseline would be used. It may be used alone or in combination with the leaves.
With your doctor’s permission, the salve may be generously applied. The salve should be stirred to a creamy texture to allow for ease of spreading on tender, painful areas.
The formation of the ingredients were designed to melt above body temperature. Taking this into consideration of being sued in hot and cold climates which considerably changes the firmness of the ointment and therefore the ease of application.
New applications should be repeated every twelve hours. The previous application is easily removed by a light pressure with a clean gauze pad. There is no scrubbing or washing needed.
It is designed to absorb into the body, nourishing the skin unlike the greasy, sticky nature of petroleum type ointments.
The ingredients consist of the following products including the herbs and oils. The partial benefits derived from these elements are included in the list.
Honey which forms the base, is in itself a well known agent that has been used successfully in hospitals around the world to help heal with a minimum of scarring. The Chinese have treated over 50,000 burn patients with virtually no scarring and without infection by a honey based preparation. Some of the patients had deep second degree and superficial third degree burns covering up to 95% of their bodies. Honey is an antibacterial and also a detoxifier.
Lanolin is the grease in the Sheep’s wool. It is similar to the cholesterol produced by our own body that is secreted through the sweat glands of our own skin. It acts as a lubricant and a protective covering for the hair and skin. It serves as a barrier excluding air from burns and wounds.
Olive oil has an abundant supply of vitamin A, D, E, and K besides other vitamins and minerals. Through skin absorption it will nourish the body. It is used as a carrier to transport the herbal ingredients over to the ointment.
Wheat germ provides an abundant supply of vitamin E, whcih promotes healing and reduces scarring.
Marshmallow root has softening and soothing properties. It is high in assimilable protein, contains 286,000 units of vitamin A per pound and is extremely rich in zinc. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant herbal plant.
Aloe vera gel from the leaves of the plant is a well known and proven remedy as a sole dressing. It is very beneficial in reducing pain from burns, wounds, ringworm and insect bites. It is also useful in a dressing for psoriasis and poor skin complexion.
Wormwood relieves soreness and is a valuable stimulating liniment and is a bitter with antiseptic qualities. The active oil has proven to be a narcotic and therefore has the ability to reduce pain.
Comfrey root promotes rapid reproduction of cells in sprains, bruises, swellings, wounds, ulcers, burns and sores. It contains allantoin which contributes to the formation of the umbilical cord and the placenta. Allantoin also grows under the shell of eggs and is used externally to promote wound healing. Hence the reason for using the thin skin under the egg shell for healing of wounds, boils, etc.
While Oak Bark is the most powerful of all vegetable astringents which has an antiseptic action, relieves itching, firms up tissue, reduces inflammation and soothes irritated skin.
Blessed Lobelia is so called because of its ability to soothe muscle soreness. It has been used to treat muscle spasms and the rash of poison oak and ivy. A drop or two of a tincture of the plant is very effective in relieving earaches.
Vegetable glycerine is included as a preservative to inhibit mold and bacterial growth in the herbal mixture. It is derived from palm oil. After removing the fatty acids it becomes pure vegetable glycerine. Having antibacterial properties and solvent actions, it becomes very useful in herbal preparations. It provides a soothing effect making the skin supple. The emollient properties gives it the power of softening and relaxing living tissue. Therefore it is effective anytime there is hardening, drying, or scaling of the skin.
Bees wax is a natural, necessary ingredient to keep the oil firm enough so that hot climates and body heat do not cause the salve to run off the body of the patient.
While all the above ingredients are produced by nature the color of the ointment may vary from one batch to another. This happens because different weather conditions and growth of plants through the growing season. The different color variations do not change the value or consistency of the ointment.
This salve is not best for wounds that have a heavy oozing nature.

Some sincere people tend to associate Herbalism and Naturopathy together. There is a lot of Herbalism in Naturopathy but the spiritual element of Naturopathy is not part of Herbalism and not every one realizes this.
Some Naturaopathy practices involved spiritual concepts that have to do with Qi - spiritual energy flow, Chakras - spiritual force centers, and Yin-Yang - opposing spiritual forces interconnected, that Christians should consider part of the occult and avoid.
Practices like Acupuncture (inserting needles in points that are situated on meridians which Qi the spiritual energy flows), Chromotherapy (believes in seven Chakras, spiritual force centers and seven corresponding colors), Reflexology (massaging of the feet and hands can improve health through one’s Qi or spiritual energy flow), and Traditional Chinese medicine (believes in Qi spiritual energy flow and Yin-Yang opposing interconnected spiritual forces) should be seen as part of the occult and avoided.
Using B&W Ointment, BF&C Powder, or burdock leaves for natural burn treatment is in no way associating yourself with the spiritual side of Naturopathy. I also think it is wrong to hold that using B&W Ointment, BF&C Powder, or burdock leaves for natural burn treatments is wrong by association, because some of the practitioners or product producers are involved in Naturopathy practices that going into the spiritual side.
The burdock leaf is used some burn care workers as a moisture barrier in dressing burns. It also appears to help with pain management and to speed healing time. Burn care workers hold that it eases dressing changes and appears to impede bacterial growth on the wound site.
Here is a larger picture of the burdock leaf than I put in the Burdock Leaves – An Innovative Burn Treatment article. This larger picture will help you better identify the plant.
