The following excerpt is from the book "The Cure for all Diseases" by Hulda Clark.
Black Walnut Hull Tincture Extra Strength This new recipe is four times as strong as the previous one, so it is called extra strength. Your largest enamel or ceramic (not stainless steel, not aluminum) cooking pot, preferably at least 10 quarts. Black walnuts, in the hull, each one still at least 50% green, enough to fill the pot to the top Grain alcohol, about 50% strength, enough to cover the walnuts 1/2 tsp. vitamin C Plastic wrap or cellophane Glass jars or bottles The black walnut tree produces large green balls in fall. The walnut is inside, but we will use the whole ball, uncracked, since the active ingredient is in the green outer hull. Rinse the walnuts carefully, put them in the pot, and cover with the alcohol. Sprinkle on half the vitamin C. Seal with plastic wrap and cover. Let sit for three days. Pour into glass jars or bottles, discarding walnuts, and divide the remaining vitamin C amongst the jars. If the glass jar has a metal lid, first put plastic wrap over the top before screwing on the lid. Potency is strong for several years if unopened, even if it darkens. You have just made Extra Strength Black Walnut Hull Tincture. It is stronger than the concentrate made with just a few black walnuts in a quart jar (my earlier recipe), because there are more walnuts per unit liquid. In addition, you will not dilute it before use (although when you take it, it will usually be in water). When preparing the walnuts, rinse only with cold tap water. You may need to use a brush on areas with dirt. If you are not going to use all of them in this batch, you may freeze them in a resealable plastic bag. Simply refrigerating them does not keep them from turning black and useless. The pot of soaking walnuts should not be refrigerated. Nor does the final tincture need any refrigeration. Exposure to air does cause the tincture to darken and lose potency. To reduce air exposure, fill the pot as much as possible, without touching the plastic wrap, while still keeping a snug fitting lid. Even more importantly, the glass jars or bottles you use to store your tincture should have as little air space as possible without touching the plastic wrap on top. A large jar should be divided into smaller ones when you are ready to use it. The idea is not to have partial jars, with a lot of air space, sitting for longer than a month or so. There are several ways to make a 50% grain alcohol solution. Some states have Everlcear, 95% alcohol. Mis this half and half with water. Other states have Everclear that is 76.5% alcohol. Mis this three parts Everclear to one part water. Yet another method is to buy vodka that is 100 proof. This is already 50% alcohol. Remember, never use any kind of purchased water to make tincture. *************************************************** Black Walnut Hull Tincture (Regular Strength) This is the potency I used originally. It is included here in case you prefer it or wish to treat a pet. The Extra Strength recipe is four times as potent as the original recipe, so it must be diluted in quarters. (Similarly, if you have a lot of the Regular Strength left and wat to use it in place of Extra Strength, simply take four times as much.) Black Walnut Hull Tincture Extra Strength Grain Alcohol, about 10% Mix one part extra strength tincture with three parts of the 10% alcohol. Store in glass containers same as described above. There are several ways to make a 10% grain alcohol solution. Some states have Everclear, 95% alcohol. Mix this one part Everclear to nine parts water. Other states have Everclear that is 76.5% alcohol. Mis this one part Everclear to seven parts water. Yet another method is to buy vodka that is 100 proof (50% alcohol) and mix one part vodka with four parts water.
