The drugs don’t work: a modern medical scandal

If your doctor isn't aware of how misleading all of pharma is you shouldn't go to that doctor. Period. If they make excuses or say that it's at all exaggerated in the media, you shouldn't trust that doctor. If your doctor doesn't believe you when you tell them about an adverse-effect, or if they minimize it's harm, you shouldn't trust that doctor. Seriously, when we're dealing with pharmaceuticals it's often life and death...and that is no exaggeration.

Spirituality and Politics (activism)

In the tradition of Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr, truly spiritual people do not leave anyone behind. As long as we're on the planet it's our duty to care for it and everyone (of all species) on it. from Women, Nonviolence & Birthing a New American Politics

Chicken liver pâté ( #foodie Friday)

Well I know a lot of people don't like liver pâté , but if you like it as much as I do you'll find this very inexpensive version of the delicacy a delight. I've added organ meats to my diet that I might get the dense nutrition they afford while I work on healing my body through diet. Organ meats tend to be far less expensive than ordinary cuts of meat and for people on a budget they allow for high quality organice, grass-fed and pastured meats to be on the menu more frequently. Foods with dense nutritional value are very important for getting healthy if one is ill.

Orange juice expose: #foodie Friday

I've not drank fruit juices for a long time simply because they are high in sugar. Whole fruit is generally the only way I consume sugars these days. For any of us who have blood sugar balancing issues, whether that's diabetes or hypoglycemia any large amount of sugar, natural or not is best avoided. I... Continue Reading →

Beyond the Brain: broad recognition that “mental illness” is not what we’ve been told for the last 20 yrs

Yes, slowly but surely there begins a recognition that what gets called mental illness cannot be explained with the bio-medical model. From The Wilson Quarterly an article well worth reading with the recent history of how that which is called mental illness is considered in society and how that is changing since the psychopharmacological era has...

Excellent information on blood sugar and how diabetes develops: learn this and get healthy

Excellent information on how blood sugar works. This is very important for most people. Especially important for people on psychiatric meds and those who've ever been on psychiatric meds since our bodies get out of whack from having been on them. Also important for anyone at risk of being diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder since underlying blood sugar issues can impact mood in numerous ways. And yes, adrenal fatigue is related to this! Since lots of people who’ve taken atypical antipsychotics have developed diabetes or are on the way to developing diabetes, it’s important for anyone with any metabolic issues that have been caused by psych drugs to know the information shared in the below video and the links I share. Also, it’s important to know that if you’ve taken psych drugs, you may have some of these problems without realizing it. These issues are societal wide but those of us who’ve taken psych meds have a substantially higher risk. Conventional medicine only diagnoses diabetes once the disease process has moved quite far along. So if you learn about the risk factors now you might be able to stop the process and get healthy and never develop diabetes!

I have no right to call myself one who knows…

‎I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in the books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. ...

Want Better Health? Practice Yoga at Home

Since I've had no choice but to practice at home I now can't even imagine going to a class...seems like it would be so distracting to have so many people around. I've come to deeply love the meditative time I spend moving my body with hatha yoga. That said the day I can leave my... Continue Reading →

Delusions discussed

Belief is generally delusional across the board! We know very little and just think we know stuff. Part of Buddhist teaching and something most serious meditators in general come to at some point is practicing not being attached to their own beliefs. This is certainly something I practice in general. If we understand belief to... Continue Reading →
