I knew people use cayenne pepper to season food and drank the "master cleanse" with the herb in it, but I often forget that cayenne pepper helps with circulation and apparently it can help stop bleeding! Who knew! I only knew of raw honey being safe to put on cuts but now we've got another one!

Ah, the healing power of herbs.

Conflict of Interests of Large Health Associations: Funded by Unhealthy Food Companies?

Why [was the American Diabetes Association] actually recommending people to eat these foods linked to diabetes? It seemed that the large health organizations were recommending people to eat the very foods linked to the diseases they're supposed to be fighting against: American Heart Association promoting beef; American Cancer Society promoting processed meat; pink ribbons [for breast cancer awareness] on dairy products; and bacon-wrapped shrimp by the American Diabetes Association. And then, it all came together...

And there it was: the American Diabetes Association was taking money from Dannon (one of the world's largest dairy yogurt), Kraft Foods (makers of Velveeta processed cheese, Oscar Mayer processed meats, Lunchables processed kids meals), and Bumble Bee Foods (makers of processed canned meats). American Cancer Society was taking money from Tyson (one of the world's largest meat producers) and Yum Brands (owner of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell). Susan G. Komen, [which] was supposed to be fighting breast cancer, was promoting and partnering with KFC, Dietz & Watson processed meats, and Yoplait yogurt. And the American Heart Association was probably the most disturbing of them all — taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the beef industry, poultry, and dairy producers, and millions from fast food and processed food manufacturers. Every single one of these associations was taking money from the meat & dairy companies that were correlated with the causes of these diseases. This would be like the American Lung Association taking money from the tobacco industry.

The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy: A Deep Dive into Reversing Heart Disease

Hey there, Tumblr fam!

Today, I want to share a revolutionary program that's changing the game for heart disease: The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy. This isn't your average cholesterol-lowering approach; it tackles the root cause of heart problems: oxidized cholesterol.

What's the big deal about oxidized cholesterol?

Unlike regular LDL (bad cholesterol), oxidized cholesterol is the real villain in plaque buildup, leading to heart attacks and strokes. This program goes beyond just lowering numbers; it focuses on reducing oxidized cholesterol and promoting its removal from your body.

So, how does it work?

The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy rests on four pillars:

Diet: Ditch those oxidized fat sources like vegetable oils and processed foods. Embrace healthy fats like olive oil, butter, and coconut oil instead.

Lifestyle: Get moving! Regular exercise, stress management, and good sleep are key to optimizing cholesterol and boosting your heart health.

Monitoring: Track your progress with cholesterol level monitoring and plaque buildup assessments. This allows for personalized adjustments and ensures you're on the right track.

Holistic Approach: It's not just about cholesterol. This program promotes healthy blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight management for long-term well-being.

Science-backed and success-driven!

This isn't just talk; the Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy is backed by extensive scientific research. And the results speak for themselves! People are experiencing:

Complete reversal of plaque buildup

Drastic reductions in cholesterol levels

Increased energy and mental clarity

Enhanced appearance and overall well-being

Ready to take control of your heart health?

The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy offers a compelling and effective way to reverse heart disease and improve your overall health. Check out their website for more information and start your journey towards a healthier future!

i really liked your heart felt aesthetic board : D

have you thought about making more for different candle cove charaters? like dr mort?

Ohoho thank you!!

I have made other aesthetic boards, but I was just holding off on posting them because I've only finished two so far and I like to post things in threes. But your asking has made me want to share them now, so I will!

Also, these ones are more like collages than the usual 9-seperate-pictures format because I came across this style while looking for inspiration and I like it better.

SO! It's funny that you mentioned Dr. Mort because I DID make a board for him! Here it is:

I also made this one for Starson:

I do really enjoy collaging. It's actually probably the creative hobby I enjoy most. I've started other collages, but I just lost focus on them because of all the other stuff I make. But thanks for reminding me of them, Anon! Maybe I'll get to finishing them.

Hello friends.

This is one of my favorite recipes to come back to every winter. In addition to consuming copious amounts of fresh pineapple for the bromelain, this is a wonderful home remedy for when you're feeling under the weather that is cost-effective.  obviously if you're extremely sick, you should probably visit your doctor and none of this is ever meant to take the place of medical advice; but for your every day coughs and colds this is a great way to help support your immune system. You can even take it as a preventative before you get sick. 

I personally like to add to the onion uses by cutting up onions (especially bits I won't be cooking) and leave them in a small dish of some kind in the house so they can soak up any extra nasty business in the air.

I've also seen people put a bag of onions in their bathroom to help absorb any smells .....just don't ever eat that bag of onions.

Oh my god I'm sooooo mad right now

So. I have no business telling people not to collect wild plants/materials.

I do it all the time.

However.

The words "wildcrafted," and "foraged," even "sustainably harvested," are terrifying to see in an ad on Etsy or Instagram

There is a such thing as the honorable harvest where you ASK the plant if it is okay to take, with the intention of listening if the answer is NO. Robin Wall Kimmerer talked about this, She did not make it up, it is an ancient and basic guideline of treating the plants with respect.

Basically it is not wrong to use plants and other living things, even if this means taking their life. But you are not the main character. You have to reflect on your knowledge of the organism's life cycle and its role in the ecosystem, so you can know you are not damaging the ecosystem. You have to only take what you need and avoid depleting the population.

Mary Siisip Geniusz also talked about it in an enlightening way in her book Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have To Do is Ask. She gave an example of a woman who was on an island and needed to use a medicinal herb to heal her injured leg or she would not survive the winter. In that situation she had to use up all of the plant that was on the island. This was permissible, even though it eliminated the local population, because she had to do it to save her life. But in return the woman had the responsibility to later return to the island and plant seeds of that plant.

And what makes me absolutely furious, is that there are a bunch of people online who have vaguely copied this philosophy of sustainability in a false and insulting way, saying "wildcrafted" or "foraged" materials to be all trendy and cool and in touch with nature, when it is actually just poaching.

If you are from a capitalistic culture the honorable harvest is very hard and unintuitive to learn to practice. I am not very good at it still. This is why it is suspicious if someone is confident that they can ethically and respectfully harvest wild materials with money involved.

So there's this lichen that is often called "reindeer moss." It looks like this:

It grows only a few millimeters a year.

This is "preserved" reindeer moss.

It is from Etsy, similar is also sold in many other online shops, many of which have the audacity to describe it as a "plant" for decorations and terrariums that needs no maintenance.

It is not maintenance-free, it is dead. It has been spray-painted a horrible shade of green. The people buying it clearly don't even know what it is. It is a popular crafting material for "fairy houses," whatever the hell those are. So is moss, also dead, spray-painted, and wild-harvested. Supposedly reindeer moss is harvested sustainably in Finland, where it is abundant, for the craft industry. However poaching of lichens and mosses is absolutely rampant.

It's even more upsetting because there's hardly any articles drawing attention to the problem. This one is from 1999. And the poaching is still going on.

There is a "moss" section on Etsy, and it is so upsetting

These mosses and lichens were collected from the wild. Most of the shops are in the Pacific Northwest or Appalachia, which are the major locations of moss and lichen poaching. There are some shops based in Appalachia selling "foraged" reindeer moss.

Reindeer moss may be abundant in Finland, but in Appalachia it should NOT be harvested to be sold on Etsy as craft supplies! Moss doesn't grow quickly. Big, healthy colonies like this took years to grow. Some of these shops have thousands of sales, all of bags and bags of moss and lichen, and thinking of how much moss and lichen that must be, I am filled with horror.

Clubmosses do not transplant well, and these ones have no roots. The buyers do not realize they have bought a dead plant because clubmoss stays green and pliable after it is dead.

This is especially awful because in Mary Siisip Geniusz's book she talked about clubmosses being poached so much for Christmas wreaths that they had almost disappeared from a lot of forests.

I don't even know if this is illegal if it's not a formally endangered species so I don't know if I can report them I'm just. really sad and angry
