You mentioned water kefir. I make a ferment with prickly pear fruit juice. I call it Prickly Pear Tepache. My research suggests that the SCOBY of water kefir was derived from the prickly pear cactus in Mexico - known as "tíbicos". The Swiss brought this over to Switzerland in the 1890s and could be found in Switzerland as "tibi" through the 1930s. Then it got rebranded somewhere along the way as water kefir.
Enjoyed this very much! Loved the history and all of the good points made about digging deeper into our health issues and learning more about herbs as medicine and the profession. It was also great to hear more about how things are in the UK as my genes are 99% English and connecting with the motherland through others on Substack has been a real joy. Best wishes on the journey into acupuncture. Electroacupuncture has made a remarkable difference in my long covid healing journey. One of the first things my acupuncturist told me was to rest and to sleep, as you said, not a popular thing to do these days. So glad to hear you helping to make us aware that taking something as medicine forever is not usually normal. "Pulse" it (Dr. Ben Lynch) to help yourself recover and then stop taking supplements or medication is something I had never heard anyone say before. Paying attention to what my body is telling me is something I am still learning, and I've realized I have spent most of my life running on autopilot and mostly clueless on how to do this. Speaking of how conventional medicine has been "specialized", and the gut, I recently learned that gut problems can be the cause of chest pains and heart palpitations. Good reminded that we are whole beings, not just pieces and parts of a dissected organism. Thank You and best wishes to you both.
I am so remiss. I have a question that either of you might be able to help me with. If not that’s fine too I have had wonderful success using yucca root tincture for information like relieving swelling after surgery, ankle sprains and the like. My dear dear amazing girlfriend suffers from Fibromyalgia. inflammatory condition of the nerves, do you think I should acquire some for her? I mean 20 bucks for a tiny little bottle is worth attempt I guess if it works I’ll get an ounce
I find myself connected to your guest so deeply. I am a healer of myself but after healing myself from cancer and many other things of course, I am 70 after all. But right now, we need to know from the DIVINE FEMININE, as this woman represents, who is connected to the elemental kingdom as MERLIN was, to help people heal without a focus on money. I believe that having a very deep spiritual connection and faith in my abundance and prosperity being completely provided for by a higher power and never from a person I am helping (sometimes daily as their body changes). I heal myself daily and stress that everyone will do that. MOSTLY WITH NUTRITION NOT SUPPLEMENTS AND DRUGS.
I love how you point out empowerment and intention as a vital part of healing for everyone. You are beautiful and thank you for sharing this woman with me.
