I'm in the midst of what sounds like a war zone (out there). Round after round of gunfire, explosions on all sides, and flashing pyrotechnics are at hand. I'm not exactly sure why this is happening on what was once known as Christmas Eve —- but perhaps I missed the...
Yeah, maybe that's the first thing that came to mind when he woke up yesterday morning...
He???
Yeah, I should probably explain.
So in between storms last night, I decided to go out for a short ride into the rather brisk early evening. To take in the scene, I sat near the side of the...
Sharing a beautiful song and a writing from rosemary gladstar ✨☀️
“Tomorrow brings the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the tiniest glimmer of light can bring hope.
As Howard Zinn so sagely said, "To be hopeful in bad times is not...
Yo, people of Phoenix Rising - Lend me your ears! Or how about … your eyeballs instead?
Ummm, this will be a sort of rant. But not really. This is a copy of the email I'm sending to my dietitian / nutritionist. Why am I sending this to her? Well, why not? I have to send this to somebody. Not...
Tonight we will explore medicinal mushrooms in healing gut health.
Something modern society has gotten far away from …. Is remembering the healing qualities of many mushrooms. They are in a category of their own food wise, they are not quite a vegetable and they are quite intelligent! I highly...
I had a dream…
It’s probably intense for many I’m sure. That’s your invitation to leave 😉
The good news is it’s not just cathartic for me but possibly others too. Hence why I’m sharing.
“You watched me burn”
I live in a small ish town of 20k. On the tip of a lake. This dream took place in...
Responses to (and updates for) those of you who've been following along from blog entry to blog entry.
And then also, brief background information explaining “how I got here” - in case anybody ‘new’ has happened along:

This is to help remind me what and how I’m doing it because sometimes i have so many Things up my sleeve I lose track, ha! And maybe it will remind someone else too … or maybe someone wants to add things they are doing in comments.
We all know gut health is important with this illness. Many of...
Hi guys,
So I have been feeling progressiely better on legumes but I still don't have my test results from biomesight to prove anything. However I did go out yesterday and had fatigue in the evening but I also experienced some acute stress the same day and I could feel that playing havoc with...

Hey y'all ... appreciate the suggestions.
My doctor told me to go to the hospital tonight, but really, there's no sense in doing so (right now). I am basing this upon my urine color (yellow / straw), and upon the fact that I felt decent over...

My daughter has been showing signs of what I have or mold illness or a combination of both. For sometime now. 5 drs past 10 days. The most ridiculous diagnosis reasons for throwing up 3-5 am while just wanting to sleep and feeling burning up with no fever, 2 abnormal thyroid tests but not off...
Someone asked me to update this post, I am no longer taking tudca, will try UDCA at some point:
Diet
High fibre to lower bacteroidetes (30g a day up from around 15)
Low fat to lower bacteroidetes (removal of lamb, red meat once a week, fatty foods like chorizo and others out)
Regular...
Well my symptoms of sore throat, congestion and poor digestion with some very mild fatigue came back overnight after a 24 hour tudca break.
Insomnia was bad overnight but I somehow managed to get back to sleep after covering myself with a second duvet. My body does this very very strange thing...
Hi guys,
So I have been taking tudca for about 6 to 7 days 250mg a day. I have been quite shocked at some of the improvements, here's a list:
1. initially improved cognitive clarity (less so in subsequent days likey due to poor sleep)
2. Physical fatigue disappeared and even when I had a bit...

Yes, he was talking to me, and about me. That was his immediate impression. The physical therapist assigned to me was insinuating that I wasn't trying hard enough, that I was unwilling...
Basically, I am hiding in a cave. But it's not particularly dark, nor dank. Nope, I'd suggest dry and warm is the thematic equivalent. Or possibly, it's more so the thermostatic likeness.
So while living in this garage, I must remain unheard and unseen for the duration - I shan't be deported...
