These are relationships. You get to know the plant and how you interact with it. There are times when it's appropriate and there are times when it is not and this is true for just about everything. Those of us with these injuries know something about the trickster in just about any food or substance. We have a lot of sensitivities. I find that most herbs have a sort of polarity in which they may be just what you need today but not tomorrow. And they really do act differently in the body depending on what is going on.

Back to normal? This is the world I know....thank god others are waking up to the destruction humanity has wrought. The air is clean, the animals are returning to places they've not been for decades. I've been in isolation for over a decade with no appropriate medical care. This is my third pandemic as well. The AIDS pandemic...I worked at the beginning when young men were dying like flies.

the food blog...this is my work...I haven't posted in a long time but did today. Yum.

Finished with a drizzle... Continue Reading →
2025 update: Tardive dyskinesia - iatrogenic injury, neuroleptics. ~~ This was the first post I wrote about this drug injury. I lived with it for several years before I had the words and understanding to even begin to talk about what had happened to me. I have tardive dyskinesia. I've not written about it. I can't find a single reference online about it that doesn't pathologize it..and DRUG it further.
