Foraging in Witchcraft

I'm a big fan of working with the land, and one of the easiest ways to do so is by gathering your own plants. This is also free! No having to stop at an occult/metaphysical shop to pick up that random plant you forgot you needed. I will be making individual posts on different plants that can be foraged in my own bioregion, but first we should go over a few tips and housekeeping notes about foraging and witchcraft.

Natural Isn't Always Safe

First thing I want to get out of the way is that not everything you find outside is going to be safe to put in your body or even touch. On top of that, not everything that is safe for someone else is going to be safe for you. We each have different bodies and how we react to something will not always be the same. When you first start foraging, it's important to have a guide book that will tell you of any safety measures to take when dealing with a plant. Some will interact with medications in ways that are not healthy, some have fluid that can make your skin photosensitive, and some... some people are just allergic to.

When it comes to medications, you can find contraindications (when not to ingest something) with a quick google search of "[plant name] contraindications." Generally this will give you a safe answer, however always check with your doctor if you are unsure. Better to pay for a consultation than a hospital visit.

Some risks come from the environment that the plant grew in. If you are foraging near train tracks or buildings that could leach lead into the soil, the plants will pick that up as well. Contaminated soil and pesticides sprayed onto the plants can also lead to health risks. Be very mindful of where you are foraging.

Some plants that are safe will also have toxic look-alikes. A famous look-alike is wild carrot and poison hemlock (thank you Oregon Trail video game). Unless you know what characteristics you are looking for, it's very easy to confuse the two plants. One is a delicious snack, while the other is highly toxic (the poison hemlock), to the point of causing muscle death and kidney failure. This isn't to scare you away from foraging. Only to drive home the importance of making sure you know what you are gathering.

Laws and Foraging

I am a resident of the United States so these will be more geared towards that country. It would be to your benefit to look into the foraging laws of your own country/state anyway, as it can still differ. The majority of states in America prohibit foraging on public lands, which makes it really hard for those who don't own their own property. If you live in Alaska and Hawaii, however, congratulations your local government allows it. Even among those states that do allow it, there can be designated areas where it's not allowed such as a nature preserve. Breaking these laws tends to come with a hefty fine and possible jail time, if caught. Though these laws are hard to find with a quick google search, especially for a specific area.

The laws in the United States prohibiting foraging are generally colonial, imperial, classist, and racist (surprise, surprise). Foraging was protected by law well into the 1800s (except for Native Americans who were pushed off their ancestral hunting and gathering grounds), even when doing so on another person's private property. After the Civil War, many newly-freed African-Americans would sell their foraged and hunted goods for an income, while also using the practice to become self-sufficient. The southern plantation owners needed this system to go away so they could chain what used to be their "property" to their old line of enslaved work. Starting with criminal trespass laws. Eventually anti-foraging laws spread to the average white rural American. Outside elites began to believe that the "backwards" people of the countryside, who made a subsistence living off the practice of foraging, fishing and hunting, could not be trusted with the stewardship of the land; using "conservation" as a way to "protect" it from the people who lived there (Linnekin, "Food Law Gone Wild: The Law of Foraging" p.1008-1014).

I do believe we need to protect our resources and lands. However, foraging can be regulated, not outright outlawed as it is. Learning about the plants and animals that live around us and can help us in our lives, leads us to learn more deeply about their role in the environment and just WHY we should protect them...

All this to say, look into your local foraging laws (and how local law enforcement actually enforces them, if they do at all) and then you can decide if you want to follow them or not. At your own risk.

⸙༄𓆤𓆩𓆪❁𓇢𓆸🏵

Invasive vs. Native vs. Naturalized

There is a lot of talk in foraging communities about invasives vs. natives. Sometimes even bringing in naturalized plants. So let's talk a little bit about what these words mean in ecology and how this may effect your foraging habits.

Invasive and naturalized plants have one thing in common; they are both transplanted outside their natural ecosystem. A plant that is invasive in one place, can be naturalized in another. What matters is the impact the plant has on the ecosystem it has been transplanted into.

Invasive = plants or animals that harm regional ecosystems.

Naturalized = plants that have successfully established and reproduced in a new environment, integrating into their new home without inflicting ecological harm.

To make things a bit more complicated, let's introduce the 10% rule. According to the Huron River Watershed Council, "the '10% rule' postulates that of all species introduced to a region outside of their native range, only 10% will survive to reproduce in their adopted environment. This 10% of non-native survivors are often called 'naturalized' plants. Of that 10%, another 10% (or 1% of the original non-native transplants) may thrive to such an extent that they dominant their new home, out competing their native neighbors. These prolific competitors are known as invasive species."

So what makes a native plant? The US Forest Service defines a native plant as "plants [that] are indigenous terrestrial and aquatic species that have evolved and occur naturally in a particular region, ecosystem, and habitat. Species native to North America are generally recognized as those occurring on the continent prior to European settlement."

Some native species can be endangered due to habitat loss from agriculture and/or competing invasive species. It's good to have a list (many state DNR (Department of Natural Resources) will have a list available on their website) printed so you know which ones should be cultivated in your garden if you wish to work with them. Avoiding these and working with invasive species can help with conservation efforts as well. Native species can still be worked with in the wild if they are not endangered.

⸙༄𓆤𓆩𓆪❁𓇢𓆸🏵

Animistic Foraging

You'll often see witches giving advice about asking the plants permission before harvesting. This is from the belief that the plant has a spirit, an animistic belief. Asking permission to harvest isn't the only way we can forage mindfully and with respect to the plant. The way that I do this is by following the Honorable Harvest set out by Robin Wall Kimmerer (a Potawatomi botanist, and the director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in her book "Braiding Sweetgrass."

Know the ways of the ones who take care of you, so you may take care of them.

Introduce yourself. Be accountable as the one who comes asking for life.

Ask permission before taking and abide by the answer.

Never take the first, never take the last.

Take only what you need.

Take only what is given.

Never take more than half. Leave some for others.

Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.

Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken.

Share.

Give thanks for what you have been given.

Give a gift in reciprocity for what you have been given.

Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever.

The first rule really helps you to follow the rest of them. Know the plant. Walk by it several times, offer water even if you aren't taking something, say hello. These plants are our neighbors and when we harvest we are asking for their help.

⸙༄𓆤𓆩𓆪❁𓇢𓆸🏵

Conclusion

Each plant will have it's own method of harvest to minimize the harm done to it. Some you have to pull the whole thing up, but there are ways to repopulate it. It's so individual that I couldn't add it to this post. Hopefully what's written here can help you keep a few things in mind when going out and learning about your local flora.

Foraging can be a great way to connect with your land and learn about it. Getting your hands dirty and making you feel as if you are a part of the landscape. Hopefully the first couple of sections didn't scare you off. Get a couple of good guidebooks for your region (the local library is a good place to start) and you're good to get out there and start identifying plants you want to work with!

thank you so much!!! 😭💓💓💓hope u feel better omg fuck the plague

thank u!! again im so unhelpful when it comes to advice on making sims bc i really jus Go for it 😭 i dont really have a different approach when it comes to making masc frame sims either

probably not bc its such a small action (like theres only 2 or 3 steps iirc) it just wouldnt be worth the hassle and i dont think that many ppl would find any use out of it😭😭

well,,,, tis the season 🤔

i highly doubt it dkfdkkd

i didnt its from the gallery! i just decked out the inside

ahhh i play on desktop but theres 3 and 4 columns for different screen sizes u can read more about it on the actual mod page iirc

my defaults should be good but my mods arent but i cba to update them rn 😭

( @simarcana ) TYYYYYYY she really is, i just wanna spin her around in cas all day and gawk dkfndk

my only tip would be dont dress them in clothes only if u would wear it/its your style. more so let it be a reflection of their character and their own fashion sense. theres alot of my sims id never dress like djfdkfkd but i know its something they would like !

NOW- DIFJDIFJDK me and nia orphyd have written many dissertations about... That aspect of dante's life but i will not confirm nor deny if that was included

im drawing up blanks too rn 😭😭😭 id suggest if u already know like the ethnicity of ur founder sim to just google last names from that culture and go from there, thats what i usually do dfjkd

10!

thank u omg but no i would feel bad if anyone gave me their money esp considering my tendency to like.. dip for weeks at a time DFKDJK also love u tumblr but i absolutely do not trust u with my credit card information

strip naked/bald, facial features, skin details, hair, clothes, repeat any steps if i dont like what i picked initially

( @thatoneplumbob ) no thank u for enjoying them !!! 💓💓💓😭😭

thats an easy one i dont JFKDJFK thats all neighborhood stories and mcc, i would simply die if i had to do all that myself 😭😭😭 i just pop in and give them quick makeovers

WELL GOOD NEWS I DID and ive only made one hs so far!! buttttt it was before hsy so it doesnt work with the pack 😭😭 ill prob make one for hsy eventually bc as much as i hate building im also drawn to it like a moth to flame

thank u!! but ahhh no i havent been having any problems with uni

thank u, i hope ur having a great day too! tbh its not like something i put like... effort into if that makes sense KJDSK like for my gameplay sims no matter how casual i try to make it i inevitably start adding unnecessary depth into them 😭😭 like ill just be cleaning my house and think hmmm this sim hates this food or once had this happen to them, so pretty much the same approach i do to my ocs!

I ACTUALLY RECORDED A VIDEO i just gotta grow some bawlz and upload it 😭😭 its just a quick cas vid for a sim i wanna do gameplay with on there but im still peeing in nervousness

TYYYY i am doing well i rlly am 😌😌 im on winterbreak so YIPEEEE hope ur both doing well too!

Reviewing all my phones simply because I wanna

*including the family phones because I have always been the poor soul that managed all of them regardless of age

Nokia 5110 (1998)

Ah the memories... When the phones were that. Phones. I was probably around 6 when we got that and I was still the one handling it because my parents aren't the most tech savvy people. It was a thick phone, which I actually like, it had 6 but good ringtones and of course it had Snake. That's all we cared about back then. Not as tough as its reputation because we had to change it after 2-3 years.

BTW: my mom insists we also had the famous NOKIA 3310 but I have no memory of it whatsoever. Well, it's not like my mom can tell models apart.

Motorola 120e (2002)

I wonder, what were we thinking as a family when we bought this object? The funny thing is that I am sure we bought it because we (mom) thought it looked pretty. It was slim, silver and UGLY AS HELL. The buttons were super dysfunctional, the screen was tiny and everyday the phone had one new bug. At some point after months? weeks? it simply died. Quietly, on its own. Nobody was sorry.

Sharp GX20 (2003)

Back when Sharp was trendy, this was one pretty phone and certainly the prettiest of the Sharp GXXX line. The design was simply beautiful, the main screen was huge, the main camera was way ahead of its time and you could take a selfie by looking at yourself in the external screen. The small screen would also show notifications, the time, pictures etc. The only nonsensical thing about this phone was that the maximum video and voice recording session was only 10 seconds or something. WTF

Sony Ericsson K750i (2005)

So if you didn't know it yet, here's the fact: K750i is the best phone ever created. The unsung hero. I saw an advertisement for it in a magazine and that was the first time I was fully manipulated by an ad. I wanted it so bad it was the only thing I was thinking about. I wasn't wrong. This phone proved the ultimate GOAT for its time. It was the direct predecessor of the walkman phones and it was in my opinion better because it specialized both in camera and music. The design was simply wonderful, with the silver back opening to reveal the lens. It was also as tough as any classic NOKIA and more. I bought it before 8th grade and kept it till my second year in university (8 years). It was still working fine but it was basically dissolving in my hands. My parents begged me to buy me a smartphone and my friends thought I was ridiculous. They couldn't understand. I am seriously considering buying a 3D model of this phone (it exists) just for the memories.

Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 (2015)

See this? This is the worst idiotphone someone had the audacity to create. Bought the gold one for mom because she only cares for looks and she wanted a "smart"phone to feel relevant (even though she can't even use the basic phones). Anyway, even I can't use that phone. Everything about it is bad. Bad responsiveness, bad interface, bad camera, bad screen, bad memory, bad battery, bad CPU EVERYTHING IS BAD There is literally not one good thing I can think about this phone. It's obviously a low-end device but what I mean is it is bad by low-end standards. Utterly horrible. I was tempted to throw it from the balcony quite a few times. If you want to kill time, go read reviews of this monstrosity.

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (2014)

My personal initiation to the smartphone world was traumatic in the beginning as I had to buy this phone twice, because I lost the first one after a few months. However, the fact that I paid again for the exact same model is a hint about how much I liked that phone. Small, beautiful with changing skins, simple and so bloody functional. I have no complains whatsoever except the memory proved small for me after 5 years of filling it up. I bought a memory card and then Samsung fucked something up with the compatibility. My phone was broken. I spent a month trying to fix the software myself. I did it eventually. I still have it now but the battery drains in a few hours without touching it. I am heartbroken. I don't know if I should change the battery or it is because of the "touched" software I put in there. And it has become unbearably slow. I knew I had to swallow it and buy a new phone. But I knew, any phone I chose would always be an Android and preferably Samsung.

iPhone 12 mini (2020)

This... didn't go as planned. Let me explain myself. I am an Android fan, I love its interface and customization freedom. I hate everything about Apple. I don't like iphones either. BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT THERE ISN'T ONE SINGLE NORMAL SIZED ANDROID PHONE IN THE MARKET. IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR APPARENTLY USING YOUR PHONES WITH YOUR FEET OR WHAT. I need a phone, not a freaking ear laptop. This was the only phone that could fit in my hand, only slightly larger than the S5 mini. I mean, it's not my ideal choice to sell a kidney for a phone, trust me. It's been several months and I dare say I am... okay with the iphone. I still prefer Android but I admit iOS is clean cut, so to speak. I hate how limited it is in customization and I hate that it literally burns like lava while charging or running a heavy app. But more than anything else, I hate how much Apple exploits its customers. An app that is free on Google Play can cost 10 bucks per month in Playstore. Let's not forget that I had to go buy chargers and cables separately to make my phone functional. Go fuck yourself Apple, honestly. It's a pretty phone but you don't deserve the hype. Camera is very good though. And the one thing that made me bond a little with this phone was that a friend pointed out it is a very "me" phone - it's admittedly a phone that when you see it, you will pick me out of a group of people as its likeliest owner. And so... I don't hate it that much. My concern is what will happen when I will have to buy a phone in the (hopefully distant) future... they don't make phones for my hands anymore. Actually, they don't make phones anymore period

Miss Trustfund Kid - Zen x Han!MC

Be Nice... Or Else (3)

ITS BACK!!! Ty my patient babies for waiting and loving it :)

Reblogs / comments / asks encourage authors SM so if you have the time & like it pls let me know!

Masterlist | Previous

“What in God’s name are you doing to my sister?”

Your head snapped away from Zen’s, lips disconnecting as you turned to face your brother, standing in the doorway, hands crossed in front of him.

“Jumin!” You squeaked. “What a pleasant surprise. We, uh, got the contract figured out.” Maybe if you tried to act like nothing had happened, he would go along with it.

Nah. This was Jumin. His eyes were still trained on Zen, glaring at the man who had just been all over you.

Zen sighed, straightening his stance. “Why does it matter to you? God, you’re so annoying!”

“That’s my sister. Of course it matters to me.”

You sat back in your seat, leaning back slightly. “Jumin, can’t you just trust me on this one? For once?”

He pouted. It wasn’t normal to see such an esteemed businessman acting so childish. “Out of everyone... it had to be him? Why him?”

“You say that about everyone I like,” you countered. It was true. None of your boyfriends had ever met his approval.

Jumin’s eyes softened, just for a moment. “I just... don’t want you to turn out like dad.” He pointed towards Zen. “He may be handsome and smooth, but so is every other guy you fall for. And you always end out getting your heart broken and making a mess.”

“Hey, that’s none of your business. She can do what she wants,” Zen defended you, stepping between you and Jumin.

“You don’t belong in this conversation.” Jumin commented, bypassing Zen to walk closer to you so he could face you once again.

“Jumin,” you reached out and grabbed his arm. “Can’t you trust me? Just this one time?” You raised your eyebrows at him. I think I really like him, you were trying to say.

His frown deepened. “Sure.” He turned to Zen. “If you hurt her, I’ll sell one of your organs.”

“What!? Dude, you can’t make jokes like that.”

“Who said I was joking?” He glanced back at you. “What organ do you think we should take?”

A small smile graced your face. He was kidding, of course, but seeing how unnerved Zen was getting was funny. “Kidney. You can survive with only one,” you decided.

“Hey!”

Jumin shrugged. “You heard her. You better make sure you don’t drink too much. You need your kidneys in good health if you have to get rid of one.” He began to walk to the door. “Anyways, good night both of you.”

“Good... night?” Zen asked as the door shut firmly.

You burst out into laughter. You couldn’t help yourself. They weren’t kidding when they said they couldn’t get along.

“Not funny,” Zen fake pouted to you. “He’s never gonna let me see you.”

“He will,” you took a step closer to him, noses almost touching, “as long as you’re good.”

“I am...” he took a step back, “not good. Awful at self control really. All men are wolves, even me!”

“What does that even mean?” You giggled, taken aback by how concerned his expression was.

“When worst comes to worst, men can’t control their primal instincts. You should never trust a man!”

“You and Jumin sometimes do sound alike.”

“Hey!” He crossed his arms against his chest. “Not what I wanted to hear.”

You raised an eyebrow. But it’s true.

“Anyways, about that contract. I want to add a stipulation,” Zen said, awkwardly rubbing his arm and looking at the table.

“And what would that be? I thought you agreed with everything.”

Zen smirked, gaining back his suave attitude. “I want to take you on a real date. If it’s in the contract Jumin can’t say no.”

You clicked your tongue, shaking your head in fake disapproval. “I like the way you think, Zen. But you better be paying.”

“I’m not the one rolling in money,” he teased.

“Again, college student. Not the oldest son. Not rolling in money like Jumin. It’s not like I get to live in the penthouse.”

Zen fake-frowned. “Oh no, you have to live on the second highest floor of the building. I’m so sorry.”

You pushed him away lightly, rolling your eyes. “I actually don’t live in a C&R building. Really trying to be my own individual here.”

“Maybe I’ll have to check out your place sometime.”

You gasped dramatically. “But Zen, I could never let you in! All men are wolves!”

He paused, a small smile on his face. “You’re much wittier than your brother.” He started to head to the door. “I should get going home; do you need a ride or anything?”

“I’m good! I drove here.”

He shoved his hands into his pockets. “Well, I’ll text you about that date.”

“Okay, good. Gotta get that contract fulfilled.”

He grinned. “Oh, absolutely, for the contract.”

You stood on your toes and pressed a quick kiss to his lips, whispering a good night to him before watching him leave the room, head turning back to glance at you when he thought you could no longer see him.

How were you already whipped?

Notes:

Zen googled how much kidneys cost that night

He also texted you that night to plan your date bc he is a simp (if y’all want those texts I am a smau expert and I’ll throw them in the next chapter)

Jumin called you at 1 am bc he was pacing thinking about your relationship with Zen

hi! i hope you don't mind another cat advice question? mine was unfortunately just diagnosed with chronic kidney disease at a young age. i see so much conflicting advice about what to do. my understanding is one of your cats has this too? i don't suppose you would be willing to share what you do for them, or any resources or what you wish you had known from the start? thanks so much either way!

TW for pet death mention.

There IS a lot of conflicting information about it, especially around prescription foods. There's a lot of anger toward prescription food companies. There's a lot of fake promises by other companies. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence.

When Smooch was diagnosed I looked into all of it, and wound up like this:

So I walked right back out with my stack of pizzas and did exactly what my vet told me to do.

The thing I wish I'd known from the start is just how on my side the vets at my clinic were going to be!

It is NOT true that vets are shills for Science Diet and Hills. Vets are VERY educated on nutrition, based on empirical evidence. People in pet stores hard selling you on special diets and telling you your Hills KD is killing your cat are not. People on the internet who have read tons of information put out by these other food companies, or by fringe pet health companies, are not. You or I are not. You can't do this alone, you need someone you can trust. Your vet is going to have to be that person.

So my advice is to do what your vet tells you. Ask questions, do research, yes, if you feel you need to understand WHY your vet is saying what they are saying. But your vet IS the expert you need. And they would ALL rather you came to them with annoying questions over and over than listen to someone on the internet with a hate-on for Hills and SD and their own food/supplement/book to sell.

It may take a while to get your cat set up with a food formula they like. Keep trying.

Talk about treats. There are kidney safe treats you can get. I very rarely give Smooch non-approved treats, but he does get four or five catnip treats every couple of weeks. Work out something that is safe and stick to it like glue. Never go over what is safe.

Discuss in detail warning signs that your cat may need to come in. Learn how to spot dehydration. Know how long your vet wants you to wait if the cat won't eat before calling for help. Cats with CKD can spend a lot of time nauseated, and may vomit frequently. Small meals can help, and there are meds to both fight nausea and stimulate appetite. Keeping weight on a CKD cat is critical. It is your buffer, it buys you time when they're in one of those little downward swings that they DO all eventually have. Smooch has had 2 little ones. He's bounced back both times.

Openly discuss prognosis. Initiate this conversation yourself. The answer will probably be "there's no way to tell right now how long they have," but if it isn't, you do want to know that, however painful. Ask "how long do cats diagnosed at this stage and at this AGE usually live", and "what mistakes do you see people make in caring for their CKD cats". (You can google the first if you are willing to crunch numbers. I am proud to say that Mr. Stinkman is well over 6 months past his expiry date and doing well.) It wasn't CKD, but being told that my last cat was going to die of heart disease and probably had only a year or two left was a gift. It allowed me to cherish the time, to make my peace, and made it easier (not easy, but easy-ER) to make the eventual call. So be direct in discussing this, if you can. It will make future conversations about it easier. Let the vet know you WANT to be told when things are looking grim. No surprises. CKD will require a lot of communication and honesty between you and the vet.

Take them in for all routine bloodwork on time.

Clean water in multiple locations is absolutely necessary.

Have a vet show you how to pill your cat. You will need to know. Some cats can be pilled by hand. Some need a pill shooter. Always be gentle, never angry.

You may need to learn to give subcutaneous fluids. This actually isn't as scary as it sounds once you get used to it (unless you are phobic of needles, in which case you have my complete sympathy). If you give fluids, keep a record of when and how much. Ask your vet to teach you when to give them. If your cat seems to be feeling punky, you can call the vet and ask if you should bring them in or give them fluids and see if that helps. Buy your solution from a pharmacy, not the vet, it's way cheaper. Buy your IV kits and syringes online. Get the vet to help you pick out the right thing if you aren't sure about it. If this becomes a regular thing, don't just throw your needles away, get a sharps bin. The price if you order online includes return shipping and disposal. It keeps sanitation workers safe.

Know where your nearest emergency vet is, know how to find it at night, have their number ready in your phone. This is good for all pet owners.

Never lie to make yourself look good, even if you have been a complete dumbass. Always be truthful and give complete information.

Here are some true things that may help cheer you up:

Diagnosis is the best thing that could have happened because now your cat can be cared for!

Many people don't stick to their vet's advice. This drags down average survival times. I personally believe it does so significantly (based on what I have read from vets and techs, on conversations with them, and on knowing how difficult humans are about pet care). By following your vet's advice, you are most likely going to wind up on the generous side of the survival rate.

Most of your cat's time is going to be spent feeling just fine.

My final advice is for every cat owner reading this. Record your cat's purr. Do it today. No fancy equipment, just a recording app or your video camera on your phone, leaned up against your cat's side or held under their chin. For as long as they will tolerate it. Save the clearly labeled file in multiple places, upload it to Youtube privately, just make sure you don't lose it. You will be so glad you did.

I am very hopeful for your kitty, and I wish you both the best. CKD is so common and very unfortunate, but it also gets us closer to our cats and our vets, and it can be rewarding, in a strange way, to care for a chronically ill animal. To know you are doing your very best.

As he discusses drug production, consumption, distribution, and money laundering, Mares carefully shows what insights micro political economic, realist, constructivist, and social deviant perspectives each bring to bear on the problem. This variation creates a host of global cooperation and policy coordination problems, making Drug Wars and Coffee Houses an ideal supplement for giving students an opportunity to apply the larger themes of any political economy course to a substantive policy area.Ī compelling framework-focusing on political economic ideas and analysis-shows students how leaders and policymakers need to understand the drug trade as a full-blown commodity system if they are to impact its different segments. From the more tolerant “coffee house” style policies of the Netherlands which focus on public health concerns, to the United States’ just-say-no “drug war” approach, nations frame and seek to resolve these issues in very different ways and with different levels of success. With his brief and engaging new book, David Mares explores the reasons why there is so much disagreement among nations about which policies are most appropriate to address drug production, distribution, and trade.

hello imane, i've read your opinions on make up and completely agree with you, so i hope i'm not insulting you by asking you for make up recommendations? i have to buy products because my work place requires that i have to wear some, so i wanted to ask you because i know what you wear you have chosen with the mindset of approaching make up critically. i don't know if this makes sense? but i really hope i haven't offended you, and thank you for reading this!

hi dove! honestly i understand your intentions and i appreciate ur kind words on my stance about makeup but i don’t think it gives me a superior moral position that allows me to decree which makeup is acceptable and which isn’t! i think the only thing we can do at this point to make our consumption more inclusive and ethical (hypocritical i know but like... being aware of makeup culture is very much about knowing you’re a hypocrite lol) is to a. focus on cruelty-free brands and b. support minority (and especially black) owned businesses because (although this might sound like a meme now) there is frankly no ethical consumption under capitalism. i also try to spend as little as possible on makeup like my dumbass bought a nars foundation that i don’t even use and that’s when my personal paradigm shifted i was like “who’s making a profit off of your dumbass imane? certainly not you!” so yeah if u buy makeup just ask yourself who’s profiting off of it and if you personally wanna let them leech off of your insecurities... and honestly i don’t think there’s much difference between doing the bare minimum and doing a full-face of makeup because as i said it’s just about how gilded you want to make your cage look, i do the bare minimum simply because i am lazy and prefer sleeping an extra 15 minutes in the morning but it doesn’t grant me moral superiority per se. for cruelty-free + minority/black owned business there are lists on google tumblr and youtube and a lot of them are pretty affordable so at least u know u won’t have to sell a kidney for a goddamn 400$ eyeshadow palette (i see u miss denona... the pigmentation may indeed be incredible but bitch this is LUDICROUS). anyways, take care! and remember to always be honest with urself! (and on a side note let your skin breathe u don’t have to do full makeup if u don’t need it so skip the foundation as much as possible)

#my makeup routine is so basic it doesn't even deserve to be shared #it's literally concealer and mascara #Anonymous

How to Be a Better Blogger with These 10 Unique Blogging Tips

Have you learnt there’s a widespread criticism of running a blog ideas coaches?

Individuals complain they all advocate the identical strategies. Typically, I have heard, “They never have anything new to say.”

A reader of mine predicted that if I provided unique running a blog ideas, my blog would stand out and my readership would develop.

This listing will offer you running a blog ideas that deviate from the identical previous rhetoric.

Although they could range from the mainstream, these 10 blogging ideas are simply as effective if no more.

Tip 1: Use a spreadsheet to weblog.

You may marvel why that is wanted.

Bloggers use a spreadsheet for a number of purposes. Some use a spreadsheet to hold monitor of linky parties.

Others use a spreadsheet to hold monitor of keywords they rank for. Many key phrase instruments even permit you to export to a spreadsheet.

This is so helpful the thought is cost-effective. Key phrase instruments typically limit the variety of occasions you need to use them per day. Moz, KWFinder, and SemRush are examples.

By exporting to a spreadsheet, you’ll have the keyword listing going ahead and never have to deplete your makes an attempt when using the key phrase software. Going again to the software isn’t wanted if in case you have a saved record.

When selecting keywords, don’t overlook to examine Related Searches at the backside of Google’s results pages. Don’t overlook to add these to your spreadsheet. Some individuals truly sell these spreadsheets.

Different individuals give the spreadsheets out without spending a dime. You may marvel why they might do this. Bloggers need an optin: a freebie they provide out in trade for an e mail. It’s win-win. The new blog subscriber gets the spreadsheet and the blogger gets a new subscriber they will attempt to market to at a later date. The perfect half: Excel is a free spreadsheet.

Tip 2: Use social media in distinctive methods.

Assume outdoors the box for artistic uses of a social media website. For instance, you possibly can create a hashtag and apply it to social media.

I do know bloggers who’ve their own hashtag. I used to be flattered when one created a hashtag for me. I now use #MostlyBlogging as my Instagram signature.

If it’s memorable, your brand (and visitors) will develop. Use it in your tweets. As soon as it becomes associated with you, others might use it once they retweet your hyperlinks and share your posts on other social media. Consumer-Generated Content is free advertising for you.

Social Media Right now recommends this blogging tip. I see different bloggers use this system. A blogger who goes by the pseudonym “LadyBoss Blogger” uses the hashtag “#LadyBoss.”

In addition, you should use the @ signal to your benefit.

Tag individuals. Elite running a blog strategist Patrick Coombe explained, “Here is my greatest tip: Tag individuals. But don’t be reckless about it. Don’t simply tag random folks that pop up when the @ symbol comes up, tag those that you understand will get amped up concerning the publish and remark. If you will get someone excited, indignant, or captivated with a subject, it’s going to create conversation and in the event you can create dialog, you’ll naturally set off social media’s inner algorithm to make it present up in additional news feeds.

Patrick Coombe advisable the technique of the @ image when posting Fb content material whereas I read to use the strategy on Instagram.

Tagging individuals in feedback can also be useful. Make a comment on the unique publish and tag somebody in it. Ask them a query and tag them in it; it’ll virtually demand their attention.

Sadly, without having a finances to “boost” a submit on Facebook, it is getting more durable and more durable to promote a submit. This manner, with the correct initiative, you will get some great attain on Fb without having to spend the money. Just use the @ image.

More uncommon social media ideas:

I do a dance with Twitter and you may too. Have you ever seen the dance where individuals strategy their associate and then back away and their associate approaches them?

I comply with influencers’ followers. I exploit tools like Crowdfire and Commun.it to scale back my quantity based mostly on who doesn’t comply with me back. Like I stated, a dance I do each night time. I’ve racked up 16,000 Twitter follower this manner. Do I monetize Twitter? Completely!

Put your social media sites in your e mail signature. This makes it straightforward in your social media followers to find you. Free tools exist which can enable you to insert your social media sites into your e mail signature in unique methods. NEWOLDSTAMP Generator is an instance of this know-how. You have got decisions of custom templates with a number of font types and colors. Adding your newly generated e-mail signature is a breeze in your browser’s settings.

Another artistic use of social media is as follows: In distinction to Twitter which limits its character rely, you’ll be able to write as a lot as you want on Facebook. First, be a part of a Fb group that permits self-promotion of your weblog posts. You’ll be able to write a mini-blog submit complete with a hook to get individuals to click your hyperlinks for those who needed.

Tip 3: Set up an SSL certificate.

Analysis says that it might have a constructive factor over at Google. Whether or not you rank might rely upon whether you might have an “S” in your weblog URL. You will also see a padlock to the left of your URL.

Google has stated that’s it, they’re completed. You have to have an SSL certificate or they’ll inform everyone who tries to go to your website how ominous your website is. “Danger: an unsecured site.” Individuals will flee as quick as you’ll be able to say “malicious virus.” Individuals don’t want that in order that they’ll depart your website which I’m positive is completely innocent. Thanks to Google’s warnings, nobody will know your website is innocent or that your weblog has useful ideas.

Tip four: Let your readers dictate your content material.

Consumer-generated content is fashionable. Question and answer sites are good for this. You possibly can range your format when you empower your readers. Copy their questions they depart in the feedback section and paste them into a new weblog submit. Quick and effective for you, an fascinating change of format for them.

What about letting other websites’ readers dictate your content? Quora.com is superb for this objective. So long as you cite the supply, you need to use Quora’s content material on your blog.

[Read: How to Be a Better Blogger with Quora]

Tip 5: Buy a plant.

In accordance to the INC blog, buying a plant will provide help to weblog for a number of reasons. First, individuals ensure that their crops have good mild since crops thrive within the mild. In case you weblog near a plant, the result is you’ll have good mild, and your eyes could have much less pressure if you blog. Additionally, the weblog’s analysis exhibits that individuals are extra artistic near crops. Nurturing individuals are artistic.

Tip 6: Differ your beverage consumption.

Hey, I really like coffee. Nevertheless, in accordance to DivasRunforBling, “Caffeine can be a good thing… But when drinking too much of it, it can leave us jittery and unable to focus.” Medical research help this. Attempt discovering a great-tasting tea as a alternative. Caffeine-free, naturally. Don’t overlook coffee comes caffeine-free as properly. Soda anyone? Makes positive it’s caffeine free.

On the contrary, whereas I’m advising you restrict your caffeinated beverages, I’m also telling you to drink more water.

This helps for three causes: First, it wakes you up within the mornings by getting your kidneys functioning. Next, while blogging, your back and neck may begin hurting. Consuming water ensures you’ll take a potty break and rise up from the computer.

Tip 7: Rub peppermint oil in your neck and temples.

The INC blog recommends you odor peppermint. “Peppermint aroma… has been shown to have a positive impact on memory and alertness.” I’ve truly smelled peppermint. Boy did it wake me up! I felt like someone blew out my sinuses.

Tip 8: Increase your variety of social media followers.

That is particularly essential for weblog monetization. Individuals have found me on Twitter and provided me monetary alternatives since they know I will retweet their info to my Twitter followers.

Different bloggers have been provided money just for sending a tweet. It takes seconds to send a tweet!

When wanting to monetize, give a complete rely of blog followers AND social media followers. Until you’re asked for individual counts in a media package, no one will know what number of of every you’ve gotten and will probably be simpler for you to generate profits blogging.

Once you generate income blogging, be certain to ask for a testimonial out of your completely happy shopper. Then, put it in your About page or Rent Me web page. Retweet this page so that everyone on Twitter learns how appreciated your providers are. Ensure that to use related hashtags so individuals needing your providers can find you.

Increase your number of Instagram followers as nicely.

This is straightforward should you comply with an influencer in your niche. How to discover the influencer? Search utilizing the Instagram search bar. Sort in your area of interest.

See the people who come up and what number of followers they’ve. Comply with these followers. Instagram permits up to 30 an hour. I’ve racked up hundreds of Instagram followers this manner. The more followers you’ve gotten, the better it is for you to monetize Instagram.

Tip 9: Use uncommon methods for making your weblog graphics.

For instance, you’ll be able to take scenic pictures in panorama orientation (horizontal). Why unusual? I like to recommend taking photographs vertically to appease the Pinterest gods.

Photograph-editing websites like PicMonkey (this is Ms. Ileane’s affiliate link) and Canva have vertical templates you possibly can put your horizontal footage in. Other free instruments like Fotor, FotoJet, and BeFunky supply these templates as nicely.

When making your weblog graphics, keep away from utilizing frames. They make your graphics look smaller. Attempt to use filters which make the topic of your photograph look greater. Snapseed, a free iPhone app, has superb filters. Fotor, a free online graphic design, and photo-editing web site, has awe-inspiring filters as properly. Don’t overlook the profitable colors for a weblog graphic. Pink, purple, pink, and orange are shiny colours which can seize individuals’s consideration at blogs, Pinterest, and linky parties.

Word: I read blue graphics get consideration at Instagram.

Tip 10: Name the headline and the search engine optimization title totally different names.

According to a submit revealed on Copyblogger, you do not make the headline and the search engine optimisation title the identical. By putting additional key phrases in the search engine marketing title, you will get found on search engines like google simpler with out cluttering up your headline with phrases.

Wrapping Up

A famous quote states, “You possibly can solely make a difference by being totally different.

If you need to make a difference, you want to stand out. So as to stand out, you need to be totally different from other bloggers. These unusual running a blog ideas will work wonders.

Use this publish as an unusual action plan for blogging success.

Ringleaders - Prologue.

Here is the original ask for this prompt. Here is the announcement for this project!

Chapter One. Chapter Two.

‘HOW BLIND ARE YOU? HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY SEE? IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT SOMETHING OTHER THAN A POLITICIAN’S ARSE AND YOUR EMPTY POCKETS, GOOGLE US AT ‘YOUTH AGENDA’. WE’LL SHOW YOU WHAT IT’S LIKE PAST THE RABBIT HOLE.’

It’s quite a long catchphrase, but Kuroo knows that the very point is that they’re not trying to sell anything. Anyone who doesn’t take the time to read through the whole thing on the obscenely large billboard probably wouldn’t be what they were looking for, and all in all, he thinks it’s an effective message to those who’re searching for something new in their lives. Something different; something just like what’s past the figurative rabbit hole.

Of course, there isn’t a rabbit hole. There’s only the box that people like to wear about their heads, cover their ears and peer through the little cut-out slits in the cardboard and pretend that just because there’s built in elevator music in that helmet of theirs that everything’s fine.

He kicks a pebble to the side and watches it fall into the water beside him with an unceremonious plop. No skips, no fancy ripples, just a rock sinking to the bottom of the harbor because someone kicked it halfheartedly with their foot. It’s an almost philosophically stupid wonder how some people can expect to soar through the skies with just a simple nudge, too complacent to even throw their arm back to toss the stone.

“Oi, you there,” Kuroo swivels his head around at the voice, fingers still rubbing against each other in the warmth of his coat pockets. It’s a chilly day today, and it’s about to get a little warmer. “You that fucker who took out Franker last week?”

He shrugs. “Maybe. What do you want?”

The man, heavily built but not overly clumsy, Kuroo’s eyes focus on the jagged muscles bulging out from those biceps and at odd areas of his arms and torso- not training then, he decides, but street fighting in all the wrong positions. The man’s walking closer, each heavy step accentuated by a pair of flashy metal tipped boots, and Kuroo turns to face him properly, his back left for the water to guard.

“Want to make things even between the two o’ ye. You left him bleeding out in front of a hospital. Your skinny ass thinks you can flip us off like that and walk away scot free?”

“Apparently not,” Kuroo answers smoothly, a small grin on his face that looks more on the rough side of grim than actually entertained. The man doesn’t seem to notice however, his brows still surly and his words rough, so Kuroo continues. “I left him in front of a hospital, didn’t I? At least it wasn’t a dumpster. I could have charged for delivery.”

“You piece of shit-”

Kuroo dodges the wild, uncontrolled swing at his face with a sudden throw of his body to the left, and landing on one arm, he pushes himself up enough to level a harsh kick at the man’s abdomen. It throws the bulk of the man back with a harsh grunt, but the precise blow to the kidney doesn’t stop him. The large man lurches forward again, and Kuroo has to roll forwards over his head before he’s pummeled into the ground. Ignoring the way his palms whine underneath his weight and the bloodied marks from the harsh grain of the cement floor, he swings out a leg to knock the man’s feet from underneath him and when the hulking figure falls to the ground with a thundering smack, Kuroo pulls his right fist out from his pocket and aims at the crooked nose and the dilated eyes. He marks it, and punches, silver knuckleduster and all with the full momentum of his right side, and the man cries out in agony from underneath him, clutching at his face whilst trying to throw Kuroo off with wild twists of his pelvis. Kuroo finds it a little inconvenient, trying to reach a good angle to punch at while someone’s writhing underneath him, so with metal plated soles of his own, he grinds his heel into the man’s groin with a punctuated shove before standing up and pushing his foot against the thug’s windpipe. One more punch for good measure, just in case he starts to recover most of his vision.

The man’s face is almost caved in on itself, nose completely crushed and the sockets of his eyes bruised from the brutal force of bare, heavy metal, and Kuroo steps down a little harder on the man’s throat to let the effect truly bring itself out.

“Don’t bother us again, got it?” Kuroo’s chest is heaving from exertion when he delivers his message. The pumps of adrenaline that he feels gushing through his arteries light him on fire on the inside, and he ignores the fact that his fists are shaking in their hovering position.

“I-I dinnd-”

“Yes you did,” and there’s a crunch of bone- he hopes for the man’s sake that it’s his collarbone and not his actual throat. He can’t always control the precision of his feet, unfortunately, but he’s learned from experience that an inch or two off the mark doesn’t make too much of a difference. “I don’t give a fuck who hired you, but you stay away from our people, and we stay away from you. Buying them out won’t work, understand?”

If he could still breathe properly, the man would laugh. Instead it comes out as a bloody gurgle, a strained choke against the weight of a whole leg and Kuroo watches intently as the man’s fingers start to curl into fists. “Erryone w-wants money,” he grins manically at his captor, “if we dun buy ‘em out, sumbuddy else ‘ll.”

Kuroo steps off the man, who lets out a heaving groan once oxygen starts flowing into his brain again, and pushes his hands back into his pockets.

“They’ll try, yeah,” he snaps at the prone figure beneath him, the man who, like so many other people in this god-forsaken city, would sell their own face for some coin in their pockets, “but clearly, none of you have experienced it.”

The thug holds a bruised hand to his equally bruised face and eyes Kuroo venomously. Kuroo retaliates by nudging the prone body a little closer to the right with the tip of his shoe.

“Exprrenced wut?”

Kuroo is no longer looking at the man. There’s a large ship that’s sailing into the busy port at this time of day, on this day of the week, and he turns his head to watch it calmly as the large, private ship floats along the water with thousands of tonnes of private cargo.

“Something to believe in,” he answers. There’s no warning whatsoever when he lifts his foot up and with a long-suffering heave, he kicks the man into the murky water before he can attempt a response.

And the body sinks, with an unceremonious plop, just like a large pebble.

Kuroo’s hands are a little sticky with blood, even though some’s his and some isn’t. Just another jacket to wash out when he gets home, he supposes, and rubs his wrist against the fine fabric. Today’s work is just about done, with the last threads tied up and a man threatened within an inch of his life, he thinks he’s bought them another few months before someone tries again. Or rather, the truth is that it’s always the same someone. Just in the form of different paid groups, time and time again like a nursery rhyme on loop.

“You always were the best fighter,” another voice slides out from behind a large cargo box, but Kuroo relaxes at this one. This one, he recognizes. “Too bad making you take on these odd jobs is like pulling teeth.”

“They’re hard,” he groans, rolling his shoulders in a way that makes his coat pinch underneath his arms, “and you know I’m not the best fighter. I just think when I fight. You’ve got the strongest punch. ‘Falcon Punch!!!’” He tries to imitate with a terrible shounen voice. It doesn’t work, and his attempt at humour sounds dry as dust to his own ears.

Oikawa strides into full view, as he always does- to him there’s no point in doing his hair perfectly if he’s just going to be mysterious and slink around in the shadows. That’s Akaashi’s job. Just to make a point, he runs a smooth, pale hand through his artfully coiffed locks and levels Kuroo with a huffy stare. “Yes, if you give me a man who’s standing stock still then sure, I have the strongest punch. But if we’re counting it like that then clearly it’s Ushiwaka. He’s literally a walking combat machine. All fight and no soul.”

Kuroo laughs. “You’re still calling him that? He’s going to hate you a little more each time.”

“Pfft, he doesn’t hate me,” Oikawa waves it off, a sly smile starting to creep up onto his handsome face, “and who’s going to tell? You?”

“If I’m having a bad day, probably.” Oikawa smacks him on the arm for the comment and Kuroo laughs even harder.

“Y’know, that isn’t half as bad as I thought it’d be.”

“What, the billboard?”

“Yeah. It’s not exactly Jake from State Farm, but it delivers the message. All of it.” There’s a poignant pause before Oikawa sighs dramatically. “You’re good at this.”

“I’m saving this moment for my patronus. A compliment from Oikawa Tooru himself.”

“You’re never getting your acceptance letter, Kuroo, you should look in the mirror more often.”

“Alright then, and neither will you your alien contact. Two million light years and they end up talking to you?”

“Oookay, now it’s on-”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m turning it back off,” Kuroo grins maddeningly and pats Oikawa roughly on the back, sending him forward a few steps from the force of it. “Stick around and see who reads it, alright? I’m gonna head back first.”

His friend gives him a solid nod and Kuroo gives a parting one of his own. The whole shipyard they’d chosen for this operation is a wide stretch away from the nearest taxi stand, but it does give him some time to calm down so he doesn’t mind the ache of his calves as much. His hands are no longer shaking, but the grin slips off more and more with each step he takes away from his colleague. Deep breaths, in and out, a good, long stare at the grey, cumulonimbus-filled sky and he can feel the pumping of his heart slow and his mind clear itself from the irrational urge to break someone’s spine and enjoy it.

The blood on his hands is completely dry; uncomfortable, brittle flakes of iron stains his knuckles and Kuroo remembers why he hates these jobs so.

Once he sees someone’s face bleeding and broken, the hardest thing for him isn’t to win. It’s to stop.

Day 2 - Receiving my diagnosis’

Day 2 began with an 8am blood test in a local lab after fasting for 12 hours the night before. The place we are staying offers a free shuttle to and from the clinic. So every trip so far I’ve had a different driver and they’re all really nice. The driver was happy to stop for me at Wholefoods on the way to the clinic after my test as I hadn’t eaten yet, so I got a yummy green kale smoothie. The clinic opens around 845am but I wasn’t booked to start anything until 915am. Before my doctors appointment, I did Lux with Voilkam (not sure how it’s spelt) oxygen and Bemer therapy.

At 10am I saw my Dr again. He got me to lie on the table and get straight into it. He asked how I went last night and I explained all my symptoms. Especially my whole picking a fight with my partner at 2am and raging. He said that was pretty normal so that made me feel better. He also said that we can tone it all back at any time it gets too much for me, I just have to keep telling him everything and they continually tweak it for you. That’s why I will see him every day, so it’s good to have that feeling of safety when you’re going through something unknown and scary.

We then got into the bioreasonance testing to diagnose me with my top 10 problems. I can’t explain how the testing is done as it won’t translate well in writing, you have to see it. But it’s similar to kinisiology muscle testing if you’ve ever had that, I think this way is even more accurate though. It’s really really cool! You can’t fault it either when myself and others in the clinic I have spoken to have said the information their doctor was able to find and their diagnosis’ were spot on with previous diagnosis’ from other doctors or problems they’d had for a long time but didn’t tell this doctor, they can just work it out anyway.

There are 5 body systems that may need addressing including: chemical, biological, emotional, viral and something else (I don’t know if they’re all correct). Anyway, I came up with all 5 systems needing to be addressed and he said that’s not uncommon. Then he worked out my top 10 problems in order of priority and they are as follows:

1. Parasites 2. Virus 3. Nuerotransmitters 4. Histamine 5. Fungus 6. Bacteria 7. Yeast 8. Mycoplasma

And he didn’t write the last 2 down for me, but that’s a good start. So this is why focusing on one thing that you THINK is your biggest problem isn’t the best way to recover. I’ve been treating my Lyme Disease for the last 4 years and it’s not even my biggest problem. Even if I was able to eradicate my body of all the lyme (which you actually can’t), I’d still be sick because I have 5 other problems above that and I had no idea. I’m saying this to my friends and people reading this who focus solely on killing the lyme, or doing a protocol for mold or whatever it is, that method will be so much harder for you to get better as opposed to repairing your body and fixing multiple systems so that your body begins working optimally and fighting for itself. You could be wasting so much time, energy and money on treating something that isn’t even your biggest problem, so it’s basically pointless. I’ve certainly done this for the last 4 years.

The parasites thing is interesting too. I had kinisiology around 5 years ago and the lady was doing muscle testing on me. She put a vile of something on my body and I instantly felt so ill it was unbearable. I told her I had to stop I felt like I was going to throw up. She took the vile off and that feeling instantly went away. What she had done was put a vile of parasites on my body and the way my body responded was a clear indication that my body was full of them. I knew I had parasites as I trusted her diagnosis, but I didn’t realise it was my biggest problem.

He then tested my organs that need the most support. My worst or sickest organs in order are: 1. Liver 2. Spleen 3. Thyroid 4. Hypothalamus 5. Pituitary gland 6. Kidney 7. Colon

I’ve had liver and spleen problems for a very long time. I’ve become jaundice and had dangerously elevated liver enzymes where specialists just couldn’t work out what was wrong. I’ve spent years with an inflammed liver and spleen so painful I couldn’t sit upright because it felt like those organs were being squashed. I’ve gained 6kg in the last few months without a change of diet because there’s something wrong with my thyroid. He explained something about the hypothalamus and pituitary, in regards to what them being out affected and every symptom he listed I was like OMG YES! The only one I can remember was “over thinking.” I certainly do that. My right kidney is bad and my left kidney is fine, so that’s a little weird.

He also tested me for ammonia as ammonia toxicity if very common with chronically ill patients, especially those with lyme. I tested positive for ammonia on my brain, heart, liver, spleen and maybe kidneys (I forget). I’d like to ask him what all that means in following appointments. He ran a vile of Borrelia Burdorferi (lyme disease) over my body and the testing just went nuts. He said “yes you have Lyme, but you already knew that.”

It was really cool while he was doing all this testing (he does it, there’s no machine), it’s like second nature to him and he’s just chatting away to us, cracking jokes. We were joking about my problems with rage being “ranga rage” and he didn’t know this term. Ranga is a derogatory term for redhead in Australia, but I personally don’t find it offensive if I say it myself as I’m a redhead. He joked that he wanted to mention my rage issues with my redhair but wasn’t sure I’d take it too well ;) I said all us redheads have a secret code and you’ll see us wink at each other in the street. We were talking about all the crazy foods they have in America too like deep fried doritos and 15 flavours of Chips Ahoy. I think I’ll have to teach him some aussie slang in our upcoming appointments.

Once he had done all this testing he then began concocting the herbals I would need. Obviously, we can’t tackle everything at once, that’s why you work out the biggest priorities. So he did his bioreasonance testing to work out exactly which ingredients I would need in each dropper. Each dropper had 3-4 ingredients in it (they’re all in liquid form and varying in amounts) and I have 1 lot of tablets. He even explained one of the ingredients to me, which was Osage Orange. It’s an orange that’s green and bumpy (weird looking, you can google it), it’s poisonous to humans but Deers eat these as an anti-parasitic as they just instinctively know when they need it. But the thorns on this tree is where they get the nutrients from and use it as a herbal remedy. Pretty amazing. You’ll see in the picture the 1,000+ remedies they have access to to tailor make every patients treatment protocol. Because no 2 bodies chemistries and ways of functioning are the same, I’m really glad they don’t do a cookie cutter approach and I know that everything I am taking is because it is what my body has responded to saying it needs, not because a text book says “if a patient has this, give them this.”

OH! And this is insane. So I asked him again about the Qlink I needed to buy (an EMF blocker necklace). I was saying that my friend who had treatment there a month ago got a blocker as she reacts badly to the weather, but I think I need one for wifi and electronics. So he tested his own necklace on me. First, he worked out how many bio-energetic blocks I have in general and the number was 326 (which is bad)! Then he put his Qlink on me and my blocks went down to just 21. Holy crap right? Then he got my mobile and put it on my body. Now with that connected to my body (the same as if I was holding it or just near it) my energetic blocks shot up to 746. He then put his necklace back on me with my phone and my blocks went back down to 23. How crazy!!! So as soon as I got home I ordered that necklace. $100US with free shipping in the USA.

He also told me about a really good binding supplement for eleminating toxins that he isn’t allowed to sell me but I can buy online. It was really hard to find a seller in America (it’s from the Czech Republic) and most deliveries were mid June when I would have been gone. But we found sachets of it that can be delivered within 2 days. He said to buy as much as possible to take heaps home with me, but I bought 20 packets to start and will have him test it on me and use it a little before buying heaps to make sure it’s ok.

Another interesting thing he told me was about crystals and that I shouldn’t use them. I’ve loved crystals and used them for many years. He explained that if they are not “full” they absorb your energy and then project it back out. He had a patient that came to the clinic and returned to 98% health, he joked this young man (sounded like a teenager) was almost doing Parkour off the Hansa sign out the front. But when he returned home he just went straight back to how sick he was previously. He rang the Dr in a panic and he said it took a long time to work out why he’d gone backwards. He asked if his dad was toxic (because his dad wasn’t present for the treatment) and that wasn’t it, he asked him heaps of stuff until the patient said he had a box of geodes under his bed. The Dr asked how long they’d been there for and he said years. The dr told him to remove the box and put them outside. Within a day all his symptoms disappeared and he went back to 98% health. What had happened was years of these crystals under his bed where he slept every night, the crystals had absorbed his sick and bad energy. They were now projecting that energy back up to him as he slept and he was reabsorbing it.

Might sound like a load of crap to some, but it certainly makes sense to me. He said my orgonite towers, Himalayan salt lamps (they have heaps around the place) and selenite towers are fine. I’m sure you can clear the energy from the crystals if you know how to do that properly, but for me being so sick I honestly don’t want to risk doing anything that can make me worse or hinder my recovery.

Tomorrow we are going through all my meds and supplements, which should be interesting. At lunchtime I started all my droppers and tablets, they don’t taste as bad as I thought. We will see how my body responds. I did more detoxing after lunch- sauna, lux, power plate, PEMF and got to finish at 2pm. Came home and within 2 hours I couldn’t keep my eyes open and needed a nap. Hopefully it’s positive or bearable symptoms. My partner is bracing for more rage but I hope I don’t put him through too much of that!

It’s all feeling very positive and amazing.
