An interesting thing about black nightshade is that it appears to come up 
from a perennial root.  Another member of the family, horse or Carolina 
nettle, does the same.  That one is where they got scopalomine, used for 
"twilight sleep."  This drug was used on women in labor, while it does 
nothing to reduce pain, it causes amnesia afterward so the person can't 
remember it.  Strange, eh?   Not necessarily the best sort of high for high 
school kids either.  And jimson weed, THAT's the one that most often gets 
used by rural kids.  It's not good for you.  Occasional deaths.  I think 
it's the arthritis in cattle from eating jimson weed that led to the 
no-solanine diet for arthritis.  At least in some people, solanine can 
convert stored vitamin D to the active form, causing overgrowth at the ends 
of the bones.  Copper prevents this, hence the copper bracelet for 
arthritis.  In all my years as a massage therapist I have seen a few people 
wearing copper bracelets, but the one person I have met who absolutely 
swears by his is a roofer.  He gets LOTS of vitamin D.  There is a "Marshall 
Protocol" for lupus, sarcoidosis and possibly other autoimmune diseases 
based on the notion that some micro organisms can do the same thing to 
vitamin D, enabling them to enter the white blood cells and cause trouble. 
The first thing they do on this protocol is eliminate all sources of vitamin 
D, including sunshine exposure.  They wait till infected WBC's have had time 
to die (about 4 months) and then take low doses of antibiotics to kill the 
rest.  It's the only thing they have found that works on sarcoidosis.  And 
on top of this, a friend who worked in an immunology lab told me that they 
knew there were some people who were immune to AIDS.  What they had in 
common was a mutation to do with vitamin D receptors.  Food for thought.....
