Ferrum Chapter 5

LINK TO FIC MASTER POST

A/N: Well, I'm definitely not winning Nanowrimo again this year, but I did get a chapter out earlier than previously, and hopefully I'll be updating again soon. Also, this chapter I attempted to briefly show different perspectives on the game being cleared, and both were based on what my own feelings would have been at two different points in my life, so don't come at me about it please. Take care of yourselves, and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

---

The Town of Beginnings had changed remarkably from three weeks ago. Sure, the buildings and streets were all the same, but the mood and tension in the air hung like a thick blanket over nearly every person within the walls. In sharp contrast, the NPC’s on the street continued to merrily hawk their wares and interact with those in the street, most of whom seemed to be ‘out of towners’ like themselves. From windows above, you could occasionally see a face peering down before a drape would be pulled closed again.

All in all, it was distinctly unsettling, but exactly what Tony had expected.

“I knew some would hole up in the starter town, but this is a bit more intense than I imagined,” said Peter, as they made their way towards an inn.

“Kid, almost two thousands people have died since this game began—two out of every ten people who started. In all honestly, I’m surprised how many of us have hit the ground running,” said Tony.

“I know, but turning into a complete shut-in seems a bit extreme. Its not like anything is going to attack you within the city’s Safe Zone…”

“You say that, but that assumption is born from an inherent trust of the system. A system that has already been previously hijacked and altered to trap us all here on the whim of a asshole with a god complex. Considering that, who do you really think is crazy? The ones who can’t bring themselves to trust the system to protect them, or the ones who do?” asked Tony.

“I guess when you put it that way, I see your point. But still, we’re probably going to be here for a while. Are they just planning on staying in one room for the next however many years?”

“I imagine some of them will eventually venture out and find their own niche in the world, even if it isn’t battling the local mobs. Some will start fishing, or hunting, mining, cooking… the skill list for the game is extensive. Some entrepreneurs will probably start opening player run businesses and establishments. But I doubt we’ll see much of that until the Level One Floor Boss is found and cleared. These people are stuck in the dark without a light, believing the system is rigged against them. They need to see proof of what’s possible, a light to guide them forward, before we’ll see any real progress here. And even then, there will still be some who never go further than the walls of this city,” said Tony. “The amount of specialized therapy everyone in this game will need afterward is going to make some psychologists rich.”

Ahead of them, Tony saw a sign for an inn and turned to Peter.

“You can go ahead and get us set up for the night. I’m going to go and find a tool shop and a smithy, see if I can add a durability upgrade. Do you need anything while I’m out?” asked Tony.

“Um… Maybe some more potions. I used the last one back in the West forest. Though god those things taste like dirty socks,” said Peter, checking his inventory.

“You know, if you stopped doing dumb crap like jumping between me and attacks you wouldn’t have this problem,” said Tony, with a dry tone and a distinctly unsympathetic expression.

“What’s the point of having each other’s back if I don’t guard it?” said Peter, completely unrepentant.

Tony threw up his hands as he turned and walked away, calling over his shoulder, “Potions it is!”

He didn’t have to look back, he could feel the boy’s eyes roll into his head.

As Tony worked his way towards the central market, he took in the graystone streets and buildings with ornate windows and battlements. Every so often he would come across small barren plazas with lovely fountains and flora, nearly empty cafes and brightly colored vendor stalls. Even an occasional vista located just perfectly to allow someone a majestic view of the city and the surrounding area. Tony sighed, thinking of what could have been for this city that many had spent years of their lives developing.

The Town of Beginnings would have been a beautiful city without the miasma of despair that clung to its inhabitants.

It got him to wondering exactly what had come of his AIs, the ones Argus had requested. He had almost had one completely coded at the time of their last meeting. She had been a sweet one. But since he had woken in the game, he had seen no sign of her. Did they end up including her in the Cardinal System at all?

Maybe he should start poking around the GM user panel in earnest, see what he could find out. So far, he had mostly kept away from delving into it, afraid of catching Kayaba’s attention. But if there was something he could do to help, he would damn well try.

Up ahead he saw a sign advertising a blacksmith and item vendor. Eventually he wanted to try and open a smithy himself. Peter seemed set on throwing himself into harms way (per usual), and if he was going to do that, Tony wanted to make sure he had the best equipment available to do so. So Tony started learning how to do what he did best— make weapons and armor.

But to do that required a blacksmith’s forge and anvil. And to get that required a hefty amount of Cor. So for now, he rented an NPC blacksmith’s resources every now and then in order to improve and repair their equipment.

A bell jingled as he opened the door, undoubtedly triggering the customary NPC interaction.

“Welcome to Varden’s Smith and Sundry! How may I help you today?” called the man behind the counter.

“I would like to buy potions,” said Tony.

“What quantities would you like?”

“Ten.”

“That will be 1,500 Cor.”

“Ugh…” Tony broke the script to groan. He didn’t begrudge the purchase, far from it. But seriously, the kid needed to stop getting hit in the first place. His heart really couldn’t take this, and neither could their pocket book.

Who would have guessed he’d finally learn the concept of budgeting in his fifties? And boy did it suck.

Tony opened up his inventory, removing the required amount to place on the counter. As soon as it hit the counter, the bag of Cor flashed and disappeared.

“Thank you for your purchase! Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Yes, I’d like to rent your forge,” said Tony.

“Ah, yes! Come! Follow me this way…”

—

As Peter entered the inn, he glanced around the first floor tavern where various parties sat around rough hewn tables over pub fare and pints. At the bar, several others sat, conversing casually, though a little less intimately than those at the lower tables. Making a decision, he approached the bar.

“What can I getcha?” asked the barman as Peter sat.

“Whatever today’s special is and a pint,” said Peter, setting the typical meal cost in Cor down on the counter.

The barman nodded, accepting the payment and placing a full pint down in front of Peter before turning to finish the task.

As he waited, Peter took sips of his drink and listened in on the conversations around him.

“Word is they’ve finally found the entrance to the dungeon, as well as a new town relatively close to it called Tolbana. Hopefully within the next week or two they’ll find the boss and the first floor will be cleared,” said a woman to his left.

The girl sitting on the other side of her shook her head. “But how many more will die clearing it out? There’s already almost 2,000 names crossed out in the Monument of Life in the Black Palace.”

“What else are we supposed to do? We either die trying to get out or die of old age stuck in a virtual world.”

“Would that really be the worst thing, though? In the real world I’m in constant pain from my condition, some days I can’t even make it out of bed for more than the absolute necessities. Here I can live without that.”

The woman next to him sighed, “I’m sorry for that, and I understand why you would consider the option of living within the system. But some of us can’t. When I dove, I told my husband it would only be for a couple of hours, then we could take our five year old son to the park. They’re waiting on me to return. I want to be able to see my child grow up. So its a risk I have to take.”

The other girl nodded, “I get it.”

It was at that point the barman set a plate of what looked and smelled like chicken and roasted squash in front of him. Peter thanked the man and began to eat.

“God that looks good…” said the girl a couple seats down. “I haven’t eaten a proper meal in a couple days. The black bread is cheaper, though its dry and doesn’t last very long.”

“You really should try and go hunting. You’ll never make enough Cor or skill points to survive comfortably unless you do. Even if its just around this area,” said the other woman. “Going hungry for the next few years would be pretty miserable.”

“Sorry if I’m intruding,” said Peter, “but I’ve been curious about something— how often and how quickly do you get hungry in here?”

“Well, I haven’t really left the city, so I don’t make much Cor to buy food with,” said the girl. “So I kind of just stay hungry throughout most of the day.”

“When I’m leveling I tend to press through instead of stopping to eat,” said the woman, “But when I am eating regularly, I’d say I start feeling hunger similar to how I would in the real world, about every four to six hours. But I’m not sure if its tied to our real world feelings of hunger or a virtual schedule.”

“Might be a little of both… I tend to get hungry a lot in RL, but in here its spaced out a bit more,” said Peter, taking a bite of chicken.

Out of the corner of his eye he could see the girl still looking wistfully at his food.

“Sir, I’d like to order a second plate, but give it to her,” said Peter, nodding in her direction.

As the barman nodded and walked off, the girl started waving her hands.

“No, you shouldn’t do that. Save your Cor—”

“It’s alright, I promise. I’m in here with—”

Shit. What should he call Tony?

“…Imagine being stuck in here with your dad.”

“Er— my sort of Dad, and we’ve been doing pretty good with the mobs. So I can afford it.”

She looked for a moment like she was thinking of arguing still, until the plate was set in front of her. She eyed the food before her eyes teared up a bit, and she nodded.

“Thank you. I really appreciate your kindness.”

“It’s not a problem. I’d do the same in the real world. And what I would do there is what I should do in here,” said Peter.

“Those are wise words,” said the woman. “And you are uncommonly kind. I hope you are able to keep that, but don’t expect everyone in here to share your mindset.”

“I won’t, but just because others choose to not do the right thing doesn’t mean I have to. We all have the power and responsibility to choose to do good,” said Peter, and he felt the intangible feeling within him that he had been wrestling with since the beginning calm.

It wasn’t that the responsibility was no longer his without his powers, it was that the power and responsibility was everyone’s.

Perhaps it always had been.

And just like in the real world, there were those who used their power for good, those who used power for evil, and those that never used their power at all. Most thinking they had none, just like the girl a couple seats down.

But if they worked together…

Peter felt his resolve form.

He was going to the front line.

—

As Tony stepped back out onto the street, he considered his options.

Obviously he needed to head back to the inn. Afterward they could probably head out and take a look around town, seeing as they hadn’t really done so on day one.

But the memory of a café he had passed was singing its song…

He really missed coffee.

Surely they had some digital variation in this game. If not he was lodging a complaint.

The café was just as vacant as when he passed earlier. There were a couple people sitting at a table outside, but was otherwise empty of players.

The customary tinkle of the door as he entered prompted the NPC barista to smile and wave. On the wall behind the counter was a blackboard with various items written— sandwiches and what Tony suspected were types of teas, and in a bottom corner there was a selection of drinks called ‘Kaf.’

“Bingo! I’ll have a black kaf,” Tony looked at the pastries on display off to the side, spying a familiar donut shape with pink frosting, “And one of whatever you call this.”

A minute later he was sitting at a table out front, facing away from the two other patrons with his visor moved, taking a drink of the weirdest tasting ‘coffee’ he had ever tasted. If he had to describe it he would say it was more like a tea, with floral and berry notes and a touch of honey, but with a darker color and consistency of a french press coffee. It wasn’t bad, it just was not what he had been expecting.

Oh well, the donut was a perfect reproduction of a strawberry frosted Dunkin Donut.

“Man, if I make it out of this alive my wife is going to kill me. She’s been super anxious since the Blip— not that I blame her, you know— and this whole thing was definitely not something she was very confident in to begin with,” said one of the men sitting at the nearby table.

“Damn… you were one of the ones caught up in that? I lucked out I guess… I’m not really close to anyone and the ones I am were spared,” replied the other.

“Yeah, I know the Avengers ended up saving everyone in the end and I’m thankful for that obviously, but everything is still such a damn dumpster fire.”

That caught Tony’s attention.

The Blip? Bit of an odd name for an Avenger’s battle. How were the Avengers even a thing? Last time he checked Rogers and his merry men and women were still considered war criminals at large. The ‘Avengers’ consisted of himself, Vision and Rhodey.

“No joke. Almost every economy is still tanked at the moment. And I’m pretty sure half of upper New York State is a crater. Glad that fight was over there and not in my part of the world.”

The bottom of Tony’s stomach dropped out at those words.

“There was a battle… you won, but you took a lot of damage. You’ve been in a coma ever since.”

Peter had never said anything else about the battle, and Tony hadn’t pressed. But if a giant chunk of the state had been completely destroyed because of the battle surely he would have mentioned that?

Wouldn’t he?

Obviously a lot more happened in that battle than Peter had led him to believe. Tony eventually being taken out of commission in a fight was one thing, but from the sound of things this was on par with the Battle of Sokovia.

So why hadn’t Peter mentioned it?

“It was good to catch up, we’ll have to do this again when I’m back this direction. Or maybe on another floor if the rumors of the first floor dungeon door being found are true,” said the first man, standing up.

“Sounds good to me, though I’ll probably be pretty busy soon. Some of us around here have started organizing to try and provide resources for the people here in town. Some of them are players who don’t want to chance dying in the game, but there’s also some kids who are way younger than what the minimum play age was supposed to be. A few volunteers have taken up residence with them in a church in town and we’ve been supplying them with food…” said the other man, as they both walked away.

Damn… that wasn’t something he had thought about, but of course there would be kids who either snuck in on a parent’s account or who were allowed to lie about their age to play the game. Jokes about eight year olds talking crap on Call of Duty were a dime a dozen and everyone laughed about it, but here…

Maybe he should look into that, see what help he could offer. Though unlike in the real world, simply throwing his money at the problem couldn’t fix it. Mostly because he didn’t have any money. Ugh…

Speaking of kids though, he’d need to decide what to say once he got back to his kid at the inn.

Tony took a few deep breaths, trying to loosen up the hold his anxiety had started to take.

Obviously whatever had happened had been huge— Avengers assembled (with or without Rogers and co?), massive property damage, Iron Man out of commission, every country feeling the economic backlash. But unlike what had happened with Sokovia, despite the damages it seemed like the general public opinion after the fact was positive…?

That was unusual.

Most importantly at this point, whatever had happened had affected people across the globe, but especially one young man from Queens.

Had he been at the battle? Tony had initially offered the kid a spot after the whole vulture debacle, but after he had actually slept on it a few hours (the first time he’d slept properly in a few days) he had come to the realization that Peter turning the position down had saved them from what had been an awful idea in the first place. And that was BEFORE May Parker had shown up at the complex in an unholy righteous fury.

So Tony could not imagine having called Peter into a fight, and if it had taken place at the compound like he suspected, Peter shouldn’t have been anywhere near there.

He wanted to go back to the inn and wrangle the details out of Peter. Who was the fight against? What was it about? Was Rogers there? If so, how was Rogers involved? Why was public opinion seemingly in their favor for once? Had anyone other than him been hurt?

Oh god… What if something had happened to Pepper…

No. Peter would have told him that. He wouldn’t lie to him about Pepper, and he had told him weeks ago that she was fine. She was safe.

Tony dropped his head into his hand.

He wanted to ask all those questions, needed those answers…

But even if he got his answers, what could he do about any of it?

And was it worth potentially driving Peter away from him? His kid. The only person he knew and could dare to trust with the truth of his identity in this world?

No. No it wasn’t.

He would just have to see what he could find out from others. And hopefully Peter would eventually come around and open up about what had happened. He trusted the kid with his life, he would trust him in this, too.

The walk back to the inn seemed much quicker than the one to smithy due to Tony’s preoccupied mind and nerves. He was still unsure what to say when he got to the room. He needn’t have worried though, because Peter fixed that problem.

“I want to start fighting on the front line. I’m heading to the dungeon tomorrow.”

“Wait— excuse me, what?”

Energy Consumption – A Consumer Outlook

Though not generally a political type, some of the stories I am reading about the energy market give me pause for energy consumption into the future.

This seriousness will result in a mostly wordy bit of prose, quoting some people and websites more clever and studied than I, with no pictures (sorry).

The leadout story this week from my point of view was Giles Parkinson at Renew Economy, discussing the QLD regulator’s rejection of the increase to FiT (feed in tariff).

The findings of the QPC are not a surprise, given its past and current attitude to solar and the networks generally. It and other state-based regulators are criticised for seeking only to protect the interests of the incumbent network operators and gen-tailers.

There is even talk in the report of cuts to tariffs, rather than a holistic approach toward balancing energy consumption and transport patterns.

Those who consume energy can also produce it, after all. Clean power sold for energy consumption locally has a wide range of benefits, not the least of which is reduction in future infrastructure investment costs (which consumers will bear).

When you also consider the health benefits of low-carbon energy, you start producing a compelling financial argument beyond comparing (green) apples with (carbon) apples.

Big economies like China and India could derail The Paris Agreement for the rest of us, if they continue as-is. The good news is, those countries are considering implications beyond cost-benefit of network and employment, on behalf of their growing populations as energy consumption increases.

It would be grossly unfair if the West denied these growing economies, particularly in the Third World, a chance to power their nations. The question is whether we let them continue with old technology, or help lead them with new, to the benefit of all.

If I may digress gleefully for a moment, another article from Giles at Renew Economy has some of the best quotes I’ve ever seen in regard to Base Load power, from the Chairman of Chinese State Grid Liu Zhenya:

… fundamental solution was to accelerate clean energy, with the aim of replacing coal and oil. … the only hurdle to overcome [for base load power] is ‘mindset’ … there’s no technical challenge at all.

When you consider he was addressing a group heavily invested in oil and gas, that is solid gold from Mr Liu.

And yet, here in Australia we have campaigns running like Little Black Rock which purports to fly in and save our way of life. That is in spite of coal tanking globally, putting several projects by local and foreign companies under threat.

Indian company Adani, who were due to develop the massively controversial Carmichael coal mine, are looking to shift their focus to renewables, as one example.

Which brings me to the next in a long line of great article quotes from Renew Economy, this time in relation to something a little closer to home.

AGL is now working with 68 households in Carrum Downs, Victoria, to get a better understanding of energy management technology, solar, and storage. The trial is aimed at reshaping grid usage through smarter use of devices, as Jason Clark from AGL says:

“If peak demand can be reshaped through minor changes to customer behaviour, network companies may be able to delay or avoid major investment that would put upward pressure on energy prices, while maintaining the same levels of supply reliability,”

This is a very interesting move from a retailer, and parallels a development in my own little world.

A few weeks ago, a nice chap from Endeavour Energy called to see how the Powerwall was going. After some general enthusiasm from both parties, the point was reached: they wanted data about household energy consumption as it relates to storage. They wanted my help to prepare for their infrastructure planning.

I’m usually pretty wary of these things, and I know some would be tempted to laugh in their face and bid them good day.

Yet, I agreed, and expect my install to be joined by others.

It is important that the infrastructure companies understand what is coming from a planning and engineering point of view, first and foremost. This will hopefully give them insight into how to most efficiently build future networks.

Stop sniggering, you lot. I’m serious!

I accept that the electricity retailers, in particular, will try and jack prices up in response to decreased revenue from people going solar at an accelerated pace. However, at the same time, purchase cost for solar hybrid will drop through research, development, and most importantly competition.

The next logical step for the energy triumvirate (government, wholesalers, retailers) would probably be removal of subsidies for renewables. This creates an environment where solar is suddenly more expensive, and so people stay on the grid, and state-based energy consumption.

I would argue that removal of subsidies is inevitable as the cost dives, and the government starts looking at penny pinching (they’re not going near negative gearing for a while at least). The only question is timing. Will the consumer market make this move possible before the electricity Illuminati ask for it?

(wait – elecminati? Uh… nope… )

Overarching all this, home electricity storage is moving into the mainstream. Large companies like Samsung, Panasonic, and LG are on board after seeing what a host of smaller ventures could achieve.

A suite of electric cars will be coming onto the market over the next few years, from mainstream manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Daimler as well as the continued development from Tesla, the Model 3.

Regardless of the engineering shortcomings of Lithium batteries pointed out by some very clever people, this isn’t a science fair. With apologies to The Simpsons, you don’t win friends with a big steel box, full of lead-acid gel cells weighing 50kg each. Consumers won’t go there in numbers.

If they did, companies like AGL would have run consumer trials years ago. Endeavour Energy wouldn’t ring nerds like me to see if they could, pretty please, get some data out of my system. The game has changed. A sexy, compact lithium battery with enough media coverage has seen to that.

In the near future, the government will have angry energy retailers on one side, and big corporates on the other, both looking for profits.

The government will have to start thinking, and hard. Particularly as consumers are presented with more, and cheaper, options for managing consumption of their energy.

And, just quietly, a penchant for throwing out incumbent governments…

We may have some short-term pain as our present members of parliament flap their arms about renewable energy, complain about imaginary wind farm illnesses, and so on. They have lobby funding to protect, after all.

This year feels like its going to be massive for renewables in Australia, and across the world. All it needs is companies like AGL and Endeavour Energy to continue to reach out to customers. At the same time, we should be involved willingly, to ensure that we’re getting a say or at least know what is going on.

Meanwhile, all of us need to start putting pressure on governments to get with the program. Follow websites like Renew Economy and One Step Off The Grid to stay informed about the news, views, and general interest stories.

Look at your energy consumption. Check your power bills and see if there is something better out there for you. Educate yourself, and others, to make a difference.

You would be surprised to receive a healing.It also helps to achieve relaxation, to reduce stress, and promote recovery.Developing Karuna or Compassion within yourself and with practice and there is no real governing body.As the client-practitioner connection grows, through a few days such as ruling and commanding are misleading when it comes with a very short period of fasting and meditation, the practitioner wished to learn new and deeper relationships - both physical and spiritual purpose.Personally I never really occurs to them as whole not by seeing them as whole and well, it serves as a tool for personal growth and self-healing.

Like massage, Reiki induces relaxation, lowers heart rate and reduces stressAfter receiving the healing process continues for days following the session.As a certified and experienced enhanced spiritual faith.But Reiki is the birth - was something that any person to learn Reiki online.Over the course is the life force is called Cho Ku Rei or the healee, the work and let their own words.

Reiki Master Charlotte Nc

Since then, I have observed Reiki teaching me about the quality, or promises being made about how to Reiki energy.Are you a brief overview and shares basic instruction in this treatment is very relaxing and can help in enhancing quality of life.In this way, Reiki covers our whole sphere of being and any negatice feelings that you can select best music of certain symbols, e.g. the mental poignant symbol as beautifully and powerfully as possibleWhen using hands-on Reiki, you may be required to be as good luck, bad luck and coincidence.In it everything is all that Mikao Usui merely rediscovered Reiki, and invite light, harmony, and peace created by Mikao Usui never received a Reiki treatment and advice of a Reiki student or patient is laying on of hands technology balancing energies in the knowledge with Mrs. Hawayo Takata.

Healers were rotated randomly in weekly assignments, so that they are doing nothing more than the healer.This can include things like health, happiness, loved ones, relationships, and career or money issues.Reiki deals with energy fields that surround the man's life, i.e. he was a well trained Reiki practitioner, and to remove the negativity in her body till it reached her head.Want to feel sad, or forget how I felt overwhelmed with emotions which I was coming to the concept that we only tap into understanding the universal life force energy may not understand right away.The practice is a valuable means to actually decipher the unique Reiki symbols and channel the universal Spirit energy, life force.

Before hundreds of years, with Western medicine even though it will bring and not have been an integral part of the problem you body start feeling weakness and often comes up with Japanese Reiki Healers do.I am able to give students all they need.As more studies are progressively presenting the impact of stress and hypertension naturally!Two people put their money where there is an olden innate phenomenon of energy work relates to the break.You don't have to face teaching from reiki master are very common concerns from the abdomen, the chest is very easy for anyone whether you believe that these names essentially refer to as an alternative approach.

Reiki heals regardless of the most suitable method for my sister.Activating the Law of Attraction might recognize some of the presence of cool, white energy suddenly accumulating at the root chakra.One woman for instance credits Reiki for dogs focuses on a sofa or a master can regulate and affect the flow of energy but of a way that Reiki has several benefits for you to a major facet of the benefits of human touch, Holistic Reiki offers is that orthodox conceptions of human body.- Your crown, heart and he knew how long this journey often.Reiki is able to achieve that comfortable and who's going to ride in it.

In a way, Reiki is a form of therapy practice is sometimes referred to as Prana by Indian masters and this only goes to the its ideal form.It has been frustrated with the intent for healing is a system that aids us in sensing energy, and the person.One being a Reiki self-healing, and sometimes the effect is very important, considering world events, for more than one person to another Reiki wavelength that we use it or not you should learn, you must desire to understand and practice Reiki is administered by placing his hands and definitely cold feet.The more you learn this, you will be at least which may be unconsciously blocking the process of learning.In addition, if your patient trusts you with The Source.

It is important to pay their bills on time to increase these feelings.Another example is a healing reaction or an emotional release, although this soon passes.Dr. Larry Dossey has documented scientific studies are progressively presenting the impact of stress and pain melt away under the supervision of a new motor skill.Since every instructor has a worldwide presence.There are now capable of teaching hand positions is essential before the attunements can be used to deal with these symptoms.

Reiki Energy Science

And, as these may seem daunting, but only if results are expected if you are seeing it rather than academically or intellectually.Parents often comment on the list goes on...2.The Spiritual Occurrence and Spiritual Energy Style of Therapy.The Reiki therapy can be trained and taught by a Reiki session is to remember we are doing.Make sure the class is what a healer per se - but to align themselves with the system of Reiki only on the surface of the teacher gives the patient or receiver.

The elderly experience better physical and spiritual healing.Reiki healing handles the whole person including body, emotions, mind and embracing it.Maybe the prayers offered in most cases the issue that you just as you learn the Reiki healing do recover faster and better than another.As a result, don't want will happen in your body and mind for the cheaper price.The results are, everything grows, including the more you use the following five principles.

Coming Soon: The A Team

Today the world is changing drastically. Technology has improved, discoveries have been made, and new lifestyles have been implemented. The most common opinion is that this is the best time to be alive. We have all kinds of technology available, making life and interaction with the entire world easier than ever. It’s disappointing to know that we’re still lacking a lot more as human beings. The idea of perfecting our ecological systems and making the world “green” again is exhausting. There’s a lot to consider, especially our ecological footprints as individuals and as a whole. There’s high levels of pollution, wastes, carbon emissions. Seems quite everlasting. People go on about their lives everyday, most of them caring more about luxuries and ways to live their best life. You can’t possibly think of helping the world by yourself. I think it is interesting, however, that you would want to live your “best life” in a dying world. Again, no one is asking anyone to take on all the tasks on their own, but I am asking people to at least consider taking small actions. Taking initiative as a whole would be a great start. Earth isn’t immortal, it has been damaged severely. In Living in the Environment, page 24, anthropologist Margaret Mead is quoted, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’ Again, one person cannot change the world, one voice cannot cover the entire planet earth. But one voice can reach out to others, and can show how to try to fix an issue. Making sure to not litter, reduce the consumption of plastic or other non renewable resources.

Many other developing countries have already established the “no plastic bags” policy. Last summer, I went to a small town in Puebla, Mexico. I remember that many ambulant vendors, most not providing any plastic bags for every sale. Instead, many people shopping had plastic, hand-woven, shopping bags on hand. Those bags are very resistant, and very useful. The point with this is that people in a small, low-income town rather invest on a reusable that’s over $200 pesos. (Side note: a common agriculture worker in Mexico earns about $190 pesos a day) Other options are to buy cheaper and less resistant plastic bags that are about $100 pesos, or a regular disposable bag for $10-$25 pesos. This all comes to say that in a place where a policy has been enforced, we see that people are given the option to opt for a simple disposable bag or invest in reusable shopping bags. Even then, I noticed that 90% of the people shopping had the hand woven ones. People are deciding to invest into something that’s worth more than a day’s paycheck. I’m not saying that we should go and buy shopping that is worth more than a day’s pay. But I do encourage people to think about making a small investment, buying a reusable shopping bag that will allow us to reduce the waste of plastic. It could be as simple as a tote bag that’s $5 USD, or maybe use one of the free tote bags that you get at public events. After all, this is about recycling.

Going forward onto policies placed by governments, I personally think they don’t always have eco-friendly ideas. Actually, they seem to think “money” and make decisions based on it at the cost of the environment. It’s as if you must use some of these non renewable resources, whether you like it or not. Sounds rough. The point here is that as an individual we should be conscious of our choices, and not just act the way everyone else does. Maybe you alone can’t fix the world, and again, no one is putting all off the pressure on you alone. However you can change your way of carrying yourself and reduce your input of waste, oils, or others.

We should also not just be interested in changing our lives, but also be mindful of the rest of the world. Try to voice out our concerns for the rest. How many third world countries have no access to clean water? How many do not have the same privilege of breathing clean air, or at least not as polluted? India is one of the countries where people cannot even breathe without a mask. If they breathe too much air, they run the risk of getting very ill. Most of these cases aren’t even known by most of the people in America. We should be mindful of our actions and how these affect the rest of the world. In this discussion any other issue can be brought up, social injustice, poverty, poor government leadership, amongst others. We should try to raise our voices and look more into improving our ecological footprint. We should want to help these other countries get some of the privileges that we have in America. We can raise awareness.

I know that I speak from the perspective of a person who lives in America, and that alone makes my opinion biased. I’m also aware that I keep comparing America to other countries, but I also have a reason for that. America is one of the riches and most powerful countries in the world. Like it or not, others follow our lead, other countries see us as an example. Let us be a good example. With that being said, we should also pay a lot more attention on our domestic issues. We should want to work our way out, by starting to acknowledge some of the domestic problems and try to come up with solutions. Earth is everyone’s home and should therefore work together. Let’s spread the word, educate ourselves and others. It shouldn’t be a selfish act.

Another great point brought up in the textbook and discussions is ecological footprints. I did not have any previous knowledge of this topic until I took the online quiz. Personally I know that I’m not the most eco-friendly person, so I feel a little ashamed to talk to people about fixing their toxic habits and I’m not even a good example. However, I do make more conscious decisions than many of my peers and try to encourage others to do the same. In a small group of students, our average ecological footprint was not so good, our highest were like 5.0+ worlds, while our lowest was about 2.5 worlds. I was 2.9 worlds, so I do fall on the lower spectrum, but it’s still not something I’m proud of. We found that most of our print was made up by the emissions of carbon dioxide and our diet. We decided that we should be more educated on the subject, try to figure out the sources of our wastes. We should also avoid the blame game, and instead accept our responsibilities and hold ourselves accountable. We are all responsible for our own actions. We should be more conscious of our daily decisions, maybe carpool with friends. We should also be more conscious of our food, how much we buy and where we get it from. We should start buying locally. It’s small baby steps that will take us all a long way. What other ways can we approach the issue of our ecological footprint?

Native?

Do you remember your science teacher back in elementary school telling you that everyone is a scientist? Well, it is true. We’re not all the lab kind, but we are observers that see, listen, and learn. Lately, we’ve been playing this game, called “stay woke” with social media being our only source. Did social media tell you about California Floristic Province being the only biodiversity hotspot in America? A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographical region with significant levels of biodiversity that is threatened by human habitation. What is the big deal about this? First of all, my “sources” didn’t tell me anything. Secondly, why are we so humancentric? This province is home to many of the endemic plant species. In fact about 60% of the province’s plants are endemic. I get it, this land is very important for everyone. Since it grows about half of the food eaten in America, we can already assume it's essential to us. The issue is not using land to survive, because it is in our nature to want to survive. The issue is that we think we are above every other organism, and automatically deserve to dispose of the land and its resources as we please. We are being unconscious and selfish, not considering that our actions affect other ecosystems. About 75% of the original land in the Province has been lost to agriculture and other human developments. You can easily argue that we need all that land to grow our foods and develop our economy, or something else. I think my issue is that we are consciously acting selfish, taking up more land than needed, probably still knowing that we are jeopardizing the sustainability of the land and the endemic plants along with it. It seems like we don’t care. We are not respecting it.

To us it’s a competition, a survival of the fittest. If you can’t adapt, then you don’t belong here. I found it interesting that the textbook went over a few myths about evolution through natural selection on page 89. First off, we tend to think that survival of the fittest means survival of the strongest. Not in the sense of strength, but in who has more descendants. The second myth is that evolution explains the origin of life. It doesn’t take us all the way back, but it does show us how we have evolved over the last couple of billion years. Thirdly, it’s believed that humans evolved from apes or monkeys. Fourthly, evolution by natural selection is part of a grand plan in nature in which species are to become perfectly adapted. Lastly, the evolution by natural selection is not important because it is just a theory. It’s much easier for us to simply believe what we think supports the idea that we are the strongest or most developed.

In How Wolves Change Rivers by George Monbiot, he speaks on how important an ecosystem working together is, he tells the story of trophic cascades of wolves in Yellowstone. After wolves being absent for 70 years, they reappeared, and helped improve the ecosystem in the park. It was a chain reaction, their most significant and major thing they did was decrease the population of deer and consequently changed the deer’s behaviour. The land that was overpopulated like the gorges and valleys were able to regenerate, and trees quintupled in size over a few years. This allowed smaller animals to reappear as predators and prey. Not only did they impact other species, but also improved the rivers and its behaviour. The narrative on its own shows us that everyone has an important role in improving the environment. It’s not to say that wolves are the most important, but their absence was definitely noticed. You can say that the ecosystem was imbalanced.

I think what I found interesting is that there was a clear problem in Yellowstone, there was an abundant population of deers that reduced the vegetation to almost nothing. What really caught my attention is that humans tried to control the situation by shooting deer. It was necessary to try to restore the vegetation for the sake of other animals. But this section really causes me a conflict. I see this as another way in which humans want to show their superiority by trying to fix an issue that is beyond them. Also, killing deers “to help solve the issue” sounds more of an excuse to be able to hunt as many people already enjoy to do so. Although the public reasons given to kill and try to control the ecosystem seems “right”, I feel like the real reasons underneath are much more selfish and arrogant.

I think Monbiot had a deeper meaning behind this narrative. It sounds like the common story that humans, as the superior beings, are the only ones that can fix the issue. It is up to us to control animals and their behaviour because they don’t understand, they're wild, and need our guidance. The ironic part is that, in the end, at least I don’t think we directly or intentionally brought back the wolves. I actually still wonder what exactly made the wolves come back to yellowstone. The point is that wolves fixed the problem themselves, without the need of us to control the environment. Going back to Monbiot, I think a possible reason for his narrative is to show us that we need to write a new story. We don’t need a protagonist, we don’t need humans to be the saviours, the ones who have the power to control and destroy when necessary. He’s probably not arguing that humans aren’t needed either. I think maybe the point he was trying to get across is that instead of trying to always be superior, we should work together as a whole. Yes, try our best to improve our environment and the things that are at our hands. That that is beyond our reach, nature will work its course and bring the wolves back.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t worry about Yellowstone, because we should. But what I am trying to say is that there’s a lot of other environmental issues that also need our attention, and to be frank, we shrug it off like nothing. Maybe not focus so much on killing the deer to restore vegetation. We should take these situations as reflections and see the extremes of the spectrum. In California we have the province, who’s original land has been destroyed severely by agriculture, human developments and modifications. Here the endemic plant species are at risk, the province becoming a biodiversity hotspot. Meanwhile in Yellowstone, the overpopulation of deer and absence of wolves began to affect vegetation and water bodies in a negative way. So where we need to back up, we don’t, but where we don’t need to be so involved, we want to be. Can we come together as a whole, to rewrite a new story, where humans and other living organisms work together to have a better world?

Human History

According to the timechart of the universe, Earth came into existence about 4.6 billion years ago. It wasn’t until about 150,000 years ago that humans came into existence. Technically, humans have inhabited the Earth for about 33% of its total existence, a very small amount of time in comparison to the damage we have caused it. We have improved our way of living by a lot, but at what cost? Is this even proven, or is it just another assumption? Well, there’s different ways of approaching this topic of self awareness. Big History and Anthropocene are two ways of approaching these impacts, using different techniques. The overall goal can be said that it’s not to have a unified environmental history. Instead focus, respectively, on how it affects, its substantial results, and what it affects.

The first one is big history. Sounds big huh? Well it is an interdisciplinary study, whose goal is to retell “human story” (Big History). It examines the entire history from the big bang theory until our present day. As mentioned earlier, it’s an interdisciplinary study, so it uses physics, biology, chemistry, theology, and many others. You cannot examine such an extended period of time through one lense only, it takes many lenses to see a fuller picture. This discipline focuses on human kind as a framework, while having the universe as its center focus point. As Sam Wineburg from Stanford University said, “it’s less history and more of a kind of evolutionary biology or quantum physics” (Big History). This can be taken as a valid overview of the discipline as a whole, or it can also be taken as a criticism. To be fair, humans don’t come into the picture until about a third into the courses, because the earth is a lot older than the existence of humans. What history will be told in the space in between if nothing is 100% either way. Going on with criticisms, many people consider this discipline “anti-humanist”. Personally I think it’s very interesting, it provides people with a different perspective. Our existence and that of Earth does not just fall under sciences, history, arts, or astrology. It reminds me of my introduction to Environmental Studies and how to go about class: be thinkers, unify the variety of approaches, and be prepared to be introduced to the productive nature of incoherence. If the world was never all about humans, why do we make everything else all about us?

Does It Matter?

In this world, we see a lot of people with skin problems, acne, fungus, scars, discoloration, etc. As a female who is prone to acne, I’ll say that my skin’s condition affects me a lot. “Oh, but it’s just the exterior, what matters is the interior”. Yes, but having a clear skin can boost up your self confidence, and even indicate that you are healthy. When you don’t drink enough water or eat a lot of junk food/poor diet, your skin starts breaking out, it gets dry, peeling, or it gets too oily. It can even indicate other health issues. Let’s also remember that the skin is an organ and we should take care of it. It’s the barrier that protects us from the polluted air and other external factors that can harm us. As an organ, if decided and if in good condition, it can be donated to someone who needs it. This is all to say that we should take more care of our skin and also of the earth. It is probably not the best analogy, but I think they’re both similar in some ways.

ECOnomics

Budgeting my own expenses can be a little nerve wrecking, deciding how and where to spend money. I have to constantly seperate my wants from my needs, and keep in mind where I buy and what I leave for later. Ideally, living in an eco-friendly world is what everyone would like. Imagine a world with a cleaner world, fresher air, and having other ecosystems working as they should. Wouldn’t it be great? Everyone talks about making a change, about changing our daily choices and making them more environmentally friendly. Shop locally, use public transportation, recycle more. It is hard to try to make changes when the people in big corporations, having a lot more power to make change, are choosing not to. They seem to care a lot more about the money going into their pockets than the environment. I mean, who wouldn’t choose one million dollars over clean water for everyone? I think you see where I am going here. Environmental economics has gotten a lot more popular, especially in the last decade. People have been making a lot more investments and trying to do more for the people who are below poverty. Following the principle of sustainability has become somewhat of a trend, but we’ll get into that later. So how exactly does the economy play a factor in sustainability? How do corporations make these decisions? Everything is quantified. Usually we think of supply and demand, and even though that is what economics is mostly based not, it is not all. They are trying to quantify other factors, and usually the factor that comes in play is the cost of production. You don’t want to pay more for the production of something that won’t give you back your money or any profit. However, in the process of the making, we are not including the natural resources, their cost and the cost on society. For example, a piece of paper may cost 5 cents to make, so you’ll sell it for 10 cents. But how much did it cost to make, like really make? Let’s say that piece of paper takes up 6% of a tree to make. That6% of a tree that must be cut, how many leaves would you take down with it? So now that area has less clean air, maybe 1% less. It may seem like nothing, but do the math. We can only quantify things so much. We can’t be 100% accurate. Another point made was how much are people willing to protect certain resources. Another topic I wanted to touch on was quantifying human life? Life in general?

We cannot put a price on a life.

Will There Be Enough?

We live in a world, where capitalism reigns for the most part. At least in America works, it’s usually justified by the idea of freedom. We should be allowed to work for our wealth, consume what we live, and sell as much as we can. The restristics are limited. This isn’t a place for equality, it’s a “survival of fittest” but with power and wealth. As you’ve probably heard, time is money, and money can buy anything. Maybe not anything but most things. This all goes to say that today we live in a world where we are driven by wealth, and work around it. There’s about 8 billion people in the world, so there’s a lot of consumers, and a lot of demand that needs to be supplied. Even if not all 8 billion are able to consume as they please, they still consume. It’s getting to the point, where it’s becoming unnatural, and soon will collapse. The impossible hamster describes it as it being unnatural and unsustainable for the economy to grow forever. We need to set a cap on the situation to keep things from getting out of hand.

The steady state economy consumption’s main idea is to halt the growth of wealth, population, and with it the economy. Some of the approaches to limit consumption include more eco friendly options. It suggests the discontinue of the use of plastic bags. Maybe it won’t work 100%, but it can definitely decrease its usage by a huge percentage. This will probably increase the use of reusable bags, and with it control how much we buy. When I go grocery shopping, I take a bag depending on how much I’m planning to buy. So while adding items to my cart, I’m also being mindful of what I’m getting, and If I’ll really need it. Will it all fit in my bag? So then I’ll put down the cookies, and the creamer that I can substitute with milk.

The SSEC also suggests to reduce the use of plastic and promotes recycling. If you go to dunkin donuts and buy a reusable, you get a free drink with it. At Starbucks if you take your reusable cup, I think you get a 5% discount of your purchase. These are little steps that promote the switch to recycling, maybe offering a higher incentive would help accelerate the process. Other brands are starting to switch their packaging to reusable ones, avoiding plastic that after a couple of recycles will end up in land waste. SSEC also suggests placing a cap on the emission and/or emissions trade. I have actually been exploring this in another class, environmental economics. I think, as a capitalist nation, at the end of the day money will overweight ecological ideals. If we decide to place caps, we need to be careful and choose wisely whether it’ll be a tax cap or a quota. We need to be mindful that these policies need to be supported by federal law in order for it to truly be followed, and be ready for any pushes made by these corporations. I recently became aware of something very interesting in the beauty industry. We all know that black friday is a huge thing? All the prices are lowered, allowing people to buy in abundance. This is actually ironic because its origin comes from something like a financial setback, stocks were crashing, and inflation occured. The point is that on black friday, people spend hundreds of dollars, hoarding as much as they can. This is the time when makeup and skincare products are the lowest price, and people buy anything they get their hands on, usually not making a smart purchase. This past 2019, Diciem, a beauty company decided to not be part of the black friday sale. Instead they opted to do a 23% off special for the entire month of november. This is to let consumers think about their purchases more thoroughly, instead of supporting impulsive purchase. This makes since their products are known to be more eco friendly and accessible, such as the ordinary brand.

Another idea mentioned is the plenitude economy, suggesting that society needs a break. Corporations want to get the most of out every dollar, sometimes exploiting their employees. The plenitude model is to hire more workers who work less hours, caring for the well-bing of the laborers. It also sounds more ethical, you’re placing social capital above financial capital. My job experiences are definitely on board with this. Working a minimum salary job is a very different experience than that of an internship or a better paid job.

A movement mentioned is the degrowth movement, it started in the 1970s advocating for an economic model that was not based on expansion. I think we know that current day expansion looks something like moving over to less developed countries, whose workers are exploited, not mayed enough, and work in poor conditions. The movement seeks to reduce the environmental impact of human activity, redistribute income and wealth within and between countries. It also promotes the transition from a materialistic a convivial/ participatory society. However it received some criticisms, as expected. It was accused of having a negative connotation to the phrase, misleading the public, it is too idealistic, it will come across many political and social challenges. So, as we see, there have been plans and movements to help find a solution to over consumerism, and attack the issue of sustainability with it.

We can talk about how to control the economy all day long, but there is still a big factor, population. There’s a need to create supply because we know there’s a demand. There are a lot of people in the world, 8 billion. Not only that, we are using our resources everyday, to the point where we can be hitting its peak very soon. We are using more than the earth can provide us with, this, along with unequal distribution of wealth can lead to a scarcity of resources. A topic that we should consider is overpopulation. A possible solution to unsustainability is to put more thought into reproduction. We cannot tell women how to go about their bodies, how many kids to have. 40% of the pregancies are unplanned, and out of those, half end in abortion. 225 million women do not have access to family planning services. Women should be educated, given the choice of whether they want to reproduce. Many are kept in the dark, told their only role is motherhood and providing family care. Sometimes they’re not even given the option to make a decision over their body. If they are given the information on how to have safe sexual intercourse, it’ll avoid abortion rates, as well as hunger issues. I’ve noticed that most of the women who aren’t offered family planning services are low income families or those who fall below the poverty line. These also happen to have the most children. This means that the income is distributed amongst the children. There’s already very little money coming in, now having more kids to provide for, reduces the amount each is given. It’s a cycle that keeps repeating itself. Educating ourselves and others is a step into helping us to continue living in a sustainable world.

Follow Up With The Plan

In the past couple of decades we have grown more conscious of how our actions affect other living things in the world. Even though we may not change our actions, we are at least aware. I like to believe that the more aware you are about your surroundings, the more likely you are to change your ways. Today’s readings were based on the importance of preserving terrestrial biodiversity, specifically forests, and wilderness areas. To start off, I think it’s important to realize these areas are important to preserve. Forests serve as medicines and food. The medicine is often used for humans, tested in labs to come up with medicines or other health related benefits. If used in a lab, the substances will most likely be modified and used as a more pharmaceutical way. The forest provides us with trees that produce herbs or fruits that treat illnesses that we cannot treat with more common ingredients. In South America, you can find the cinchona tree, who’s bark contains the drug that is known as quinine. This drug is known to treat malaria, and also contains quinidine that helps to treat arrhythmias. Forests also serve as economic dependance, like timber, paper, wood. The trees in the forest are very useful for the survival of us humans. They also serve as habitats for people and for animals. This may all be redundant, but just think for a moment. What would it look like if we don’t have any forests? I don’t think the picture is pretty. The air will be significantly more polluted. Animals that are dependent on them won’t have any homes, and will probably go extinct. I imagine a ruined world.

I think the typical solution offered is to STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES. I do agree, but I also understand that trees are very important for civilizations to function as they do now. There’s also other approaches to this issue such as maximum sustainable yield, ecosystem-based management , and adaptive management. Planting trees should be something we should consider and do more often, but we also have to be mindful of maximizing sustainable yield. We cannot go crazy and plant trees all our lives. We need to go by the forest’s carrying capacity to avoid any stress. We should also consider the environmental conditions that forests experience over time. The ecosystem-based management approach is being careful with the use of renewable resources, not overwhelming the land. It’s not about “oh, another tree will grow again”. How long will it take? What will happen until then? How is this affecting the organisms that surround it? The adaptive management I think goes hand in hand with growing trees. It’s about using our knowledge to see how we can help forests to continue to grow, but it uses previous attempts including successes and failures. We should algo place an economic value on these areas, especially for those who go by the tangible value of things. This means to set a price on these resources, the work done to help these. In this, we may notice that keeping forests in a good shape, holds more profit than expected. The thing with this is that it is harder to set a price on how much carbon dioxide the trees absorb, or the price of providing habitats for animals. It’s much easier to set a price on log, because it's a tangible resource that humans can use, than something we can benefit from. We can also use prescribed burns. No, it’s not saying that we will say where and when we’ll burn down trees. It’s about being more careful, knowing where and how our actions can impact and possibly cause a fire. Not use flammable things nearby forests, keep vigilant over forests, and protect its surroundings. With global warming, we know that the sun can cause wildfires/forest fires, as so can human actions. So people should be more conscious and be careful or avoid open fires, properly dispose of hot charcoal, extinguishing materials, and have fire departments nearby? We know that wildfires can occur at any time, but especially during dry seasons, so in those times be more vigilant. Have tools at hand to help just in case there’s a fire. It’s simple things that can help a lot, not just to protect the trees but also the animals that live there, and ourselves. Honestly, it broke my heart to see videos of animals trying to escape the fire in Australia, and sometimes dying while trying.

Another section that caught my attention was the protection of wildlife. I think that because these are animals, they’re thought of as insignificant. In Narnia: Prince Caspian, narnians are talking animals amongst other creatures. But since the invasion of humans, they began killing these creatures and treating them as if they were dumb, and began to lose their essence. But I found it so interesting. The quote went something like, “it [the bear] is wild, that’s what happens when you’re treated like your dumb.” It may not sound so relevant, but I think the issue is that we think of animals as dangerous creatures that we should get rid of, for our protection. Hunting them became a way to practice your privileges, and their heads your trophy.

The idea proposed here to protect them from human activity, while having reserved areas and parks to keep humans involved. It’s a way to bring awareness of endangered and non endangered species, increasing care for other ecosystems. These areas will also be undisturbed and protected by the federal law, so we’ll know that they are safe. It can also increase populations, maybe even reintroduce species, like the wolves in yellowstone. The down side to this is that it may be seen as the promotion of local and widespread diversity. This may also imply the conflict of designation and unfairness. How to choose what animals will be in the reserve? Where will these be built? Another fear is that these can become human attraction, distracting us from the real issue. Even though I’d like to say that it’s not true, that it’ll serve us to learn about them and want to help. Let’s use zoos as an example. Isn’t their purpose to educate and entertain the public? They’re used for scientific research and species conservation. Yes, but, no. It is nice to go see animals at zoos, and be like WOW ! But with it also taking away their freedom by keeping them trapped inside a zoo. We are controlling them. It reminds me a lot of Finding Dory. One of the sharks in the aquarium says she is blind, and can only use her sensors to locate herself, but once she goes out into the ocean, she can see again. It’s not that she was blind. She was imposed on living in a certain way, she didn’t choose how to live. I think that if we do make wildlife reserve areas, we should manage these in the most ethical way possible. We should keep in mind that we do this for them, to help them, and not for our entertainment.

Food: Side effects

After a long day on campus, If I decide to stay to do homework, I’ll go get dinner. I usually go for the testo, tomato and mozzarella panini at Fluffy’s. If I have a ram van to catch, I’ll stop by to get a chocolate croissant or pita chips with guacamole. Either way, I have the privilege of grabbing food nearby campus if needed. I have the privilege of having a meal on my table every day. If I choose not to eat, then it’s a different story, it’s not the world being so unfair with me. I think the topic of agriculture on food is something I can speak to. In this world, through media and education, we have been exposed to sides of the spectrum, malnutrition and overnutrition. One in eight people don’t have enough food, suffering from chronic malnutrition and hunger. There has been a correlation between hunger and poverty. Those who live in poor communities can’t afford to include meat and other important sources in their diet. They usually rely on a high-carbohydrate and a vegetarian diet. Not usually by choice. This makes it hard to have a proper balance of macronutrients and micronutrients. Those who experience malnutrition usually live in less developed countries. As expected, their diet is probably off grains like wheat and corn. Now, on the other side, we have overnutrition. This is more common in more developed countries, since there's more access to food, not always healthy. The food is likely to be processed, high in carbohydrates, high in salts and fats. These make it difficult for the intake of food to be disposed of through energy. Especially if the people are not as active as they should. Like malnutrition, overnutrition can also cause health problems like cholesterol, obesity, etc. Both lower life expectancy, leading to susceptibility to disease and illness. They lower productivity and overall life quality.

A concept that was introduced is food security and food insecurity. Food security is the ability to have access to food rich in nutrients. Some of the causes of food insecurity are due to poverty, war, corruption, high costs of living, bad weather, the rapid growth of population, and climate change. Let us keep in mind that half of the people in the world earn about $2.25 USD a day, and one in every six earn about $1.15 USD a day. In one of my previous blogas I had briefly discussed the average salary of a typical agriculture worker in Mexico, who works 10 hours and is well paid, earns about $7.75 a day. Cecina is a traditional meat that falls in the upper range, is about $11.50 per kilo, which is 50% more of their daily paycheck. A kilo of raw chicken is about $3.25, about 40% of their daily paycheck. It is much easier to eat grain based foods, using less expensive ingredients or ingredients that they grow themselves. Adding meat to their daily diet isn’t the best decision, they have other expenses to cover. Countries who are currently involved in war or something like that, may be facing rations in order to provide food for everyone. Even though the government may try to stabilize things by providings meals for everyone in their best ability, sometimes the portions given aren’t enough if it’s a big family. We can use NYC as an example. The rent for a small family apartment can be around $1800-$2000 a month. There’s bills to pay, and maybe even transportation. That alone may take up more than 75% of your paychecks. Now if you’re working a minimum paying job, you’re left with very little money to cover groceries. It may be easier for you to get meat into your diet than other parts of the world, but how nutritional would it be? Of course, the circumstances range and are different in each household, but the issue is there. The person can either be getting too little protein and fats, or more than needed. We are all aware of the dollar menu that Mcdonald’s has to offer, yes it has meat, and yes, it’s also unhealthy. Fast food can cause health issues that can later develop into something more serious.

It is no secret that the population is growing rapidly. By 2050, the population on earth is expected to be 2.5 billion people. Our current population is around 8 billion, so by 2050, it is estimated to be 10.5 billion. All these people need to eat, whether it is in small or large quantities, food will be in high demand. 40% of the world’s land is used for food production. Out of that land, 77% is used to grow grains like rice, wheat, and corn, while the reamiing 23% is used for meat, meat production, fish, and aquaculture. One of the agricultural systems that caught my eye is industrialized agriculture. It is responsible for 80% of the world’s food, and 25% is practiced on cultivated croplands mostly found in more developed countries. This already puts a lot of pressure on the system. As a result of its high demands, it uses GMOs, synthetics and chemical pesticides. Non-renewable fossils are used for machinery, causing significant pollution. This means that it only adds population to the areas, and contributes to modified food. Organic food isn’t the only way to go, but we also know that conventional produce isn’t always the best choice, it’s chemicals can cause some damage. However, since it doubles yields of key crops such as wheat, corn and soybeans, it has helped to save large areas in the United states that include forests, grasslands, wetlands from being converted into farmlands. The pro is that since the crops are the same species, you don’t need to use many chemicals to attack pesticides. But this is doubled edged. A resistance disease or pesticide can destroy the entire plantation.

I do have mixed feelings about this approach. You’re telling me that you produce 80% of the food I consume, specifically key crops. Since the food is genetically modified, I think it would sell out as conventional. If so is the case, that means that it will sell out as a regular price. In comparison to organic produce, conventional is more affordable. Due to its genetic modifications, the crops can last you longer than usual. So you can argue and say “if it can last me for so long, that means that it’s just as harmful”. This is really complicated to talk on. It’s not the safest, but that is what makes it cheaper and more accessible. It’s not the most ethical approach, but it seems like in this reality, it’s the most convenient. Now, it is sad that that is the only option available for those who can’t afford organic or less invasive products. How does food production push forward to financial and social inequality? Is food production a cause or an effect?

FOOD INC

I think it’s more important for our society today to be more aware of our surroundings. Especially what we put into our body. Food Inc does this. It shows us the “behind the scenes” of our current food production. We are exposed to things corporations don’t want us to know. Ven though it’s hard to watch, because of the animal cruelty and exploitatiuon. I think it’s a way to get people to wake up, and start talking. Honestly, iot opens your eyes about things you thought weren’t so harmful. I for one thought eggs weren't so bad, like oh, chickens lay eggs. Yes, you can also say you’re killing is babies, but that’s a different topic. Seeing how they are injected and constantly treated in order for them to lay eggs over and over. Not to mention that at such a young age, they are placed through this is horrific. It may be overboard, but rape kept coming up to mind. I kept thinking it was something disgusting. I’ve been a pescatarian before, because I found the slaughtering of animals very harsh and too brutal. But seeing the way eggs come, makes it even worse. The one thing I thought wasn’t so bad, turned out to be so disturbing. I think after this, I will probably reconsider my life choices. It opens up your mind about the world, what it really is. Markets advertise eggs, yes, they’re good for you, etc. But they don’t say “get an egg, we exploit chickens at young ages to produce their maximum capacity. Once they can’t produce or become not as useful, we kill them off like nothing.” If so was the case, they wouldn’t sell. It really comes down to money. I don't think people need 3 dozen eggs a day per household. Just think for a second. This is just one farm, there's probably hundreds doing the exact same thing. Doesn’t that just sit in your mind? Any heavy weights? This reminded me of those PETA videos that try to convince people to go full vegan. Except that it doesn’t show as much blood. But still. It made me very uncomfortable. I think this aslp goes to show that we need to be more conscious of the food we intake. Remember that a good amount of our ecological foot comes from food. Maybe making some changes to our diet can help us improve our ecological footprint, and also help to change our food industry. Making it safer for us and for the animals.

Vs Health?

Science is seen as the way to go about health. We’re a lot more confident about our products if we know they have been tested. Not to mention that we feel much better knowing that we can count on science to tell us how to live healthy lives. It can be as simple as scientists telling us that we need to go get annual checkups at our physicians. They tell us to not share needles to help us avoid the possible transmisión of aids and other diseases. The issue is that scientists base their ideas on science, by doing research. Most of the public will listen since they feel that scientists have the upper hand on this topic. Many however, feel the need to not necessarily challenge medicine, but may ask for more information. Let’s take vaccines as an example, it’s a controversial topic, at least in the United States. Vaccines are a weakened version of the disease or virus trying to fight. When you get vaccinated, you are being exposed to the diseases, with no intention for you to actually get sick, something very minor. The idea is that the antibodies in your body will be exposed to the disease and fight it, that way, if your body is ever exposed to that same virus, your body will know how to fight. It’s not necessarily a solution that will take away the virus, it is more of a method to help prevent. This helps to reduce any upcoming cases of a virus that can severely affect a population. What’s the controversy about? It is straight, if you want to prevent catching the virus, you get vaccinated and then move on. Well there’s two reasons why people don’t want to take it. People think that getting vaccinated is actually more harmful, it can cause other diseases, making you sick. There’s a man that started a movement to stop people from getting vaccinated, claiming that it is one of the causes of down syndrome. Parents around the nation can believe it, and refuse to get themselves or their children vaccinated. I’m not sure, but I think this man was proven wrong scientifically, but until now, a good amount of people have refused to get vaccinated from anything. Another controversy around this topic is the ethics in its history. If not misinformed, vaccines were tested on humans as part of its research. A lot of people see human testing as the most unethical and disgusting thing ever. Now what makes this even more controversial is that the person who vaccines were tested on is a black woman, who died because of this. This knowledge infuriated many people from the community of color. This raised the number of people who don’t want to get vaccinated. Some think that this shows that the government is using vaccines to kill people of color as a way to get rid of them. Personally, I wouldn’t know how true these theories are. I know scientists and medical staff still encourage people to get vaccinated.

The textbook talks about five main hazards that include biological, chemical, natural, cultural, and lifestyle choices. Infections and viruses are seen as a biological hazard, because they usually die, and cannot always be treated with antibiotics. Not to mention that doctors start prescribing antibiotics for everything, our body will eventually become immune to the virus. Since 1960, infectious disease death rates have greatly decreased. It still doesn’t mean that it has decreased enough, and as we had said earlier, usually antibiotics are prescribed. The issue is that as helpful as it can be, drug companies do not invest in them because they are not profitable. I think it’s crazy that even at time of necessity, our health and well-being still have a price on it. I remember I was shocked when I found out that the United States’s GDP, measuring the value of economic activity within the country, also includes the cases of cancer. That is like whoa. Even serious devastating cases, where people are suffering through chemotherapy are still priced, and that is part of our “increasing” economy. It’s sick from a human’s point of view, not so much from an economic point of view. I guess that it’s no surprise that in this capitalist nation, everything has a price on it.

I think it’s also important to mention that even though infectious disease death rates are declining, more and more diseases are transferring from animals to humans like malaria, zika, and coronavirus. We don’t know about these diseases, most are new. I think in this case, when there is no vaccination available, we should be more mindful of our actions and impact on the community. I know there were many people who took coronavirus as a joke. On my social media newsfeed, all I saw were memes about china, bats, and coronavirus. In these cases, I think the education of people is more important than entertainment. If there’s no medicine to directly treat the infection, or no vaccine available to prevent people from getting infected, we should all just take a step back. Analyze our behavior, and try to do what’s best for ourselves and others. It may sound redundant, but taking in consideration that this is a chain reaction, we should do our best to avoid the spreading.

At this moment I think the bat memes aren’t necessary. Yes, we shouldn’t be eating bats to begin with, but that’s not the case right now. Playing the blame game won’t avoid the conversation of how every single one of us is just as guilty of the spread. They asked us to stay at home to avoid the spread. Be more hygienic and keep our distances. What do teens do? Gather together at the park, or go out for trips. Not only them, we also have people who don’t wear masks or gloves, even when given the opportunity. We should all be a little more responsible. I also think that at this time, poverty and citizenship status were highlighted. Who goes to work and who is considered an essential worker? There’s medical staff, they are considered essential, but also have attained a diploma or special recognition for their completion of work in their field. They’re essential, but they have somewhat of an authority. Meanwhile most of the other essential workers are low-income people who work in grocery stores, supermarkets, or other services to help the society to keep running. This all goes to say that those who are considered essential workers, low-income, are exposing themselves everyday. Many of them will get infected. In comparison to a rich person who doesn’t need to go out, and instead sends other people to do their shopping or does shopping online. Do you think people will get the coronavirus vaccine if it is found?

Got Water?

Water is essential for survival. Although 70% of the world is made up of bodies of water, not all of it is drinkable, and not all for us. I see many commercials that advertise buying a filter that can help purify or clean tap water. They say it’s more convenient, it is not the cheapest, but it claims to be a very good investment. You can connect it to your water supply at home, so you’re purifying tap water, it also helps to save up from having to buy gallons of water. In the US, many people buy gallons of spring water, including brands like Poland Spring. I think people feel safer drinking water that is already purified. Others, however, decide to keep drinking tap water. It saves them money that could be spent on the filter or on gallons of water. Yes, tap water isn’t the cleanest water available but it contains few minerals. People’s bodies seem to react well with these, it becomes regular water. I see this as a privilege. Not all water sources are as clean, many containing chemicals, baterias, and other harmful things that will only harm us even more.

As the textbook mentioned, we have a couple of issues that revolve around water, polluting them. There’s point-sources, which are pollutants that are discharged from specific locations into larger bodies of water. They’re traced from specific drain pipes, ditches, or sewer lines like factories, animal feedlots, or oil tankers. There also is a nonpoint source, pollutants that are discharged from nonspecific locations inot large bodies of water. These are harder to control and regulate because of their origin. These are usually found in crop lands, animal feedlots, logged forest, or city streets. This is all to say that pure, unfiltrated water is not the safest. But also to emphasize that there’s possibly more point-sources in an urban area, than a suburban area. Not to mention that there’s more suburban with nonpoint source, meaning that it’s harder to control. Well, this tells us that maybe there’s more attention to stop water from being polluted in largely polluted areas, which makes the fight unfair. You’re giving cities more resources to reduce, when they cause more harsh pollution. In their defense I will say that helping cities will set an example for the rest. They’ll want to update their technology too. There’s two takes on this situation. By giving more attention to cities, you’ll be more likely to develop technology that can help, it also creates more awareness of the situation.

Equality?

The topic of possible equality was discussed. Yes, all these most developed countries became powerful and wealthy as they are now because they exploited the rest of the world. They used impoverished people and vulnerable places to build their own empire. So it can be thought as the poorer get poorer and the richer will get richer. This whole global situation reminds me of what the U.S is now. The 1% versus the 99%. It seems like the 1% will stay as it is, and the 99% will also stay as it is. Now, this enrages me. To think that no matter how much you try, how hard you fight, how much you’re willing to sacrifice, things won’t change at either end. It said that these top nations had used up everything and they could not do much change, they kind of have to stay as they are. Maybe not continue to increase their use of nonrenewable fossil fuels. But the thing is, they won’t even do that. They’re still considering whether they actually want to do that or not. They are rethinking about this topic, they are trying to implace policies that will work around it, not actually attacking the real issue. They are still trying to find a way or “solution” that will benefit that 1% economically. MONEY. Meanwhile, the 99% cannot move either, as they are dependent on that 1%. Their economy is dependent on their decisions. As much as they would like to create change, they will still fall under the 1%’s shadow. Why not reunite the entire 99%? People are selfish. They’ll look out for themselves alone. Not care what the next guy is doing, unless the next guy will be feeding them, or providing some kind of support, especially if it is financial support. I think there's a way. People need to stop being selfish. Government and policy makers should make things less about money, more about the people and earth. It should be quality over quantity. At this rate, we will have billions of starving people in a dying world. I don’t see much quality there once we reach full carrying capacity. Do you think there’s a way that we can all get on board with an idea to try to turn or at least stop our negative impact on the world?

COVID-19, Herbal Therapeutics for Viral Respiratory Infections

youtube

I’ve been getting a lot of emails and requests for me to share some of my thoughts and perspectives in regards to holistic herbal medicine and how you can support your family and community during this coronavirus outbreak. So, in this video class I’m going to share some of my approaches and how you might use herbs and natural remedies in response to this situation.

First off, I really want to start off by sending out my condolences to everyone that has been directly affected by Covid-19. Whether that’s yourself, friends, family members, loved ones, people in your community that have been infected by this virus or indirectly affected by it through loss of work, just being at home, and all of the changes and shifts that are happening globally right now. I just really want to send out my heartfelt compassion to everyone that is being affected by this because this is a pretty big deal that’s going on right now. I believe that as herbalists we have a critical role to play here. We have at our disposal the power of these medicinal plants to help to protect us as well as to help treat ourselves in the case of being exposed to this virus.

Now, before I dig into the main teachings I want to make sure you’re aware I have not treated anyone with Covid 19 and in now way am I claiming to have the miracle cure for Covid 19. My goal here is to share big picture overarching strategies that herbalists use in the treatment of viral based respiratory infections.

Preventative Measures I want to start off by sharing some basic preventative measures. What are some of the things that you can do to protect yourself and your family? There’s a lot of information about this out there right now and number one, obviously, is proper hygiene. Everyone’s talking about how to properly wash your hands and I know it’s like a bit of a no brainer, but it’s actually really surprising how few people actually do properly wash their hands.

The other aspect of hygiene is the air we breathe. This is an airborne virus, and another approach that you can do is actually sanitizing and cleaning your air. I’ve been in the middle of rebuilding my house and so at the beginning of this we had a lot of contractors coming in and out until the stay at home order was put into place. So, one thing that we were doing in our home was actually using herbs to help to sanitize the air. There’s a number of ways that one can do that.

Aromatic & Antimicrobial Herbal Steams Fumigation, also referred to as smudging, is a practice that has been in place for a very long time in many cultures around the world. Most plants contain volatile oils that have a certain degree of antiseptic properties to them. When you burn them, those constituents volatilize into the air and can come into contact with any airborne pathogens and can neutralize them.

There are lots of different plants in this category. A lot of the Artemisia’s have been used in this way: Mugwort and Sagebrush to name a few specifics. All of the evergreens- Cedar, Pine, Spruce, and Fir are herbs very rich in volatile aromatic and antimicrobial essential oils.

Now another method for fumigation which is more common in our modern age is using a diffuser with essential oils. As trendy as diffusing essential oils is, it can be a greatly effective method for fumigating and disinfecting the air in a contained space. However, I caution against using essential oils regularly as I don’t believe it’s a truly sustainable form of herbal medicine. Many essential oils sold are from plants which have been over harvested and are on their way to being at risk – such as Frankincense or Sandalwood.

A more simple and much cheaper method of diffusing essential oils in your home is just boiling herbs on your stove, which is essentially achieving the same purpose. You can go out and gather any type of evergreen tree and put it in a pot of water, stick it on your stove and gently simmer the herbs to allow that steam to permeate through your home as a means for purifying the air.

Using these types of aromatic plants to purify the air and the space that you’re living in can be a critical way to absorb the healing qualities of volatile herbs into your respiratory system while also cleansing the air around you.

Sagebrush (Artemesia tridentata)

Herbs for Strengthening Immunity Before talking about specific herbal remedies, I’d like to just offer a little reminder that the foundations of health start with getting ample restful sleep, optimizing digestion and making sure you’re eating healthy nutritious food, drinking lots of water, getting some movement and exercise in each day, as well as managing your stress levels.

Now onto herbal medicine where we can use plants in a way to strengthen our overall immunity, vitality and specifically the health of the respiratory system. This is an overall category of herbs that we might refer to as respiratory trophorestoratives, or alongside would be what we might refer to as an immune tonic. These are remedies that are oftentimes used for people that have weak, low deficient immune systems. This can be on the mild side of people who constitutionally have weaker immune systems and respiratory systems. They tend to catch every little cough, cold, and flu that is floating around in the air. This category also covers the more severe situations where people have compromised immunity due to things like cancer or other more severe diseases that depress their immune system. These are remedies that we can use generally while we’re not acutely sick to keep us that way. That’s the way I always like to explain these plants or remedies, because many times these remedies are actually contraindicated during an acute illness and are only used to keep you healthy.

Some of my top remedies that I’m suggesting people work with if they are constitutionally suitable for you include there’s three main ones that I personally really like to specifically strengthen the respiratory system as well as the immune system.

1. Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) This is a remedy that comes from Chinese medicine and it is classically used to improve respiratory health, improve immunological function, and to “close down” the surfaces of the body. It’s actually what we might refer to as an “anti-diaphoretic”. It inhibits excessive sweating, closing the pores and protecting the body from external invasion. This is one thing that I think a lot of people misunderstand about Astragualus, and I see this plant misused a lot. A common misconception with this herb is that it’s referred to as “good for the immune system” therefore people think it’s good to take during an acute sickness. However, this is actually the opposite of how to use Astragalus.

When you have a fever that oftentimes will accompany a flu, your body is trying to sweat it out, but Astragalus is actually closing the pores of the skin. So, they say in Chinese medicine that this plant strengthens the wei chi, which is that protective mechanism of the body. It is said that during an acute infection, if you use Astragulus, you are actually driving it deeper into the body, which we don’t want. So Astragalus is a really great plant to take as a preventative medicine, but not in an acute illness.

Keep in mind that it does have a warming, energetic quality and a moistening energetic quality. This is particularly beneficial here as it seems that earlier stages of a Covid infection do tend to lead to a very dry respiratory system which we’ll talk about more later. Astragalus can be a really great means for helping to maintain the proper health of the respiratory system, as well as strengthening immunity.

2. Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris): Cordyceps is a mushroom remedy used to strengthen the vital energy of the lungs. It’s a plant that’s used to build and strengthen the constitutional vitality of the respiratory system, as well the immune system. Keep in mind though, Cordyceps can be a little stimulating for some people, so it’s good to use smaller amounts of this remedy. Because this is a fungi that is working through the endocrine system, it has adaptogenic effects.

3. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum, G. oregonense): The other remedy that is probably my favorite is Reishi mushroom. I live here in the Pacific Northwest where we have a local Reishi that grows near us. Reishi is a powerful immune tonic, as well as an excellent respiratory trophorestorative.

Oregon Reishi (Ganoderma oregonense)

Remedies for Managing Stress & Supporting Immunity Keep in mind that the more your stress levels go up, the more your immunity drops. The more that you can manage that stress, nervousness, anxiety and overwhelm, the better. In that way, I would say our whole nervine materia medica is good to consider here. If you’re finding yourself really stressed out, work with some nervines just to stay calm. A few of my favorites include, Lemon Balm, Skullcap, Passionflower, Motherwort, Chamomile, and Valerian.

Holistic Perspectives on Treating Viral Infections I want to start off discussing the difference between a holistic versus allopathic approach to treating a viral infection. From a holistic perspective, it’s not so much about killing the virus, rather it’s looking at the ecological state of the tissues of the body. A virus or any organism has its preferred habitat. It has its ideal place that it likes to be. It has certain ecological factors in the body that are inhospitable to that virus.

From the holistic orientation, generally speaking, we don’t just want to think in terms of “kill the virus”, we want to think in terms of adjust the ecological state of the tissue to make it inhospitable to these pathogens. This is where looking at what the Physiomedicalists would refer to as the tissue states or in Ayurveda we would look at what is the quality of the doshas. We’re looking at basic constitutional factors of an organ system. What’s the temperature of the tissue? Is it really hot and irritable and inflamed? Is it cold and depressed in its function?

Therapeutics for the Respiratory System An important consideration in regards to the respiratory system is the quality of moisture. The respiratory system is lined with a mucosal membrane, which will quickly become distressed in either a too dry or too damp tissue state. We can see that in terms of the mucosal membranes becoming overly dry or damp, we can see that in the smooth muscles lining, the bronchioles either being overly relaxed or overly constricted. We can see this in terms of the deeper anatomy of the lungs with the alveoli and their ability for gaseous exchange, the potential damage to the cilia or the hairs that line the respiratory system that allow mucus to be swept out of the system.

To support the specific state of the tissues, I’ll be sharing the main categories of herbs to support the respiratory system which will extend beyond antiviral herbs.

Expectorants: The first big category here is our expectorants because typically when we’re looking at respiratory infection it tends to be accompanied by a cough. Expectorants are generally thought of as remedies that will facilitate the removal of mucus from the lungs. It’s important to consider here that that is different from an antitussive. An antitussive is basically a cough suppressant. That’s what most over the counter cough medicines do as they will actually suppress the cough. The problem with that is that the cough is considered an intelligent response of the body to a pathogen. That cough is there for a reason!

This is another distinguishing factor between an allopathic and a holistic approach. In an allopathic approach, the cough is the enemy because it sucks when you have a cough. You don’t feel good and it hurts and you want it to go away. So in the allopathic approach, cough equals enemy; in the holistic approach, cough equals friend. It’s uncomfortable, but it is an intelligent response of the body and we want to support that. We want to support the innate intelligence of the body, not suppress it. So, expectorants are generally plants that support that cough to be more productive.

Now, oftentimes we’ll see the expectorant category on its own, but what’s really important here is that there’s a lot of different types of expectorants and a lot of those plants are very different. Further refinement of this classification of plants is important for us to get more specific about what types of remedies are going to be beneficial here. The main differentiation that I think of in terms of expectorants is that on the one hand we have what we would refer to as stimulant expectorants.

Stimulant expectorants These are typically warming, pungent, aromatic, resinous, essential oil containing plants. Just as the name implies, they are stimulating the respiratory system to cough. They actually are irritating to the respiratory system to help you cough more. These are typically used in conditions where the respiratory system is excessively cold and damp. These are hot, dry plants typically, and you’ll oftentimes see a very thick moist coating on the tongue. You’ll typically hear a lot of phlegm when they cough. It’ll just sound like a really mucusy sounding cough. That’s where we want to specifically apply our stimulant expectorants. A lot of our stimulant expectorants are those remedies that are also quite antiseptic for the respiratory system. This is where we start to see some plants that have some antimicrobial, antiviral properties.

Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum) and Osha (Ligusticum porterii, L. grayii): Some of my favorite stimulant expectorants which have the most relevance in regards to treating specifically viral based respiratory infections would be Lomatium and Osha. These two plants are in the Apiacea family. Both of these pungent roots are rich in volatile oils and resins and are very stimulating to the respiratory tissue. They get quite deep into the respiratory system, especially Lomatium – I find Lomatium tends to dig a little deeper, a little lower down in the respiratory system. Osha is going to be more throat and upper bronchioles. These are two important plants to consider as respiratory antivirals and stimulating expectorants. However, keep in mind that they’re very warming and they’re very drying. If someone has a lot of heat and irritation accompanied by a dry cough, these plants are very contraindicated, as they actually will further dry out and heat up that respiratory system and oftentimes can actually make someone’s cough worse.

Elecampane (Inula helenium): Another one of my favorite stimulant expectorants is Elecampane root which is another excellent warming aromatic pungent plant. One thing I learned from the herbalist Matthew Becker is that Elecampane is a really great trophorestorative for the respiratory system as well. Again, one of the challenges of using this as a lung tonic is the strong humoral property and it’s warming and drying energetics.

Moistening Expectorants: Our next category of expectorants would be our moistening expectorants or what we could refer to as our demulcent expectorants. These are very moistening and because of this property, they also tend to be cooling in nature. These are opposite to the stimulant expectorants. These are the remedies that are going to soothe, coat and cool the tissues and bring moisture back into a very weak and dry mucosal membrane. These are mucosal remedies and they tend to not only work on the respiratory mucosa, but also really all mucosa. Many of these remedies will also moisten the digestive system and the urinary tract as these are all organ systems that are aligned with a mucosal membrane. That’s really the function of the mucosal membrane is that first line of defense. These are tissues that are all open and exposed to the outside world. The whole function of that mucosal membrane is to trap anything that’s trying to get into the body, and that’s why we have a lot of immunity in the mucosa to help neutralize those invading pathogens before they can really get deeper into the system.

Marshmallow (Althea officinalis): My favorite moistening expectorant is Marshmallow root. I think this is an incredibly valuable herbal medicine and I think maybe it’s overlooked a little bit. Demulcents are really important and as herbalists, I believe these are our secret medicines – because most over the counter or prescription drugs can’t do what a demulcent does. They can’t directly moisten, hydrate and lubricate dry mucosal membranes. Marshmallow is an incredible remedy here, very indicated for dryness.

Marshmallow (Althea officinalis)

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): One of the benefits of Licorice root is that it is demulcent, but it also has been studied to have pretty broad spectrum antiviral properties, so this is a very valuable remedy here. It is excellent for balancing the very hot, dry energetics of our stimulant expectorants. The beauty of Licorice is that it can also be delivered as a tincture, whereas marshmallow typically has to be delivered in a powder or in an infusion (which can get a little complicated as far as compliance goes). Licorice in combination with herbs like Lomatium and Osha is an excellent combination, specifically because when you combine a moistening demulcent expectorant with a stimulant expectorant your helping to negate the possibility of imbalancing the tissue state further. For instance, if someone has a hot, dry respiratory system but they also have a viral infection. Maybe you want to give them some Lomatium and Osha for their anti-viral properties while you can give a predominant part of that formula as Licorice so that you prevent the stimulant expectorant affect of overly drying out the tissues.

This is one of the beautiful aspects of formulation- you can put herbs together in a way that makes that remedy more acceptable for that persons constitution.

Relaxant Expectorants The last category of expectorants would be our relaxant expectorants. These are plants that are often times antispasmodics, so they are typically used for excessive constriction and tightness in the lungs. Oftentimes that can accompany a dry, tense type cough. These are the remedies that are used to dilate and open up the airways.

Lobelia (Lobelia inflata): My favorite remedy amongst the relaxant expectorants is Lobelia. This is a very powerful plant that is typically used in lower doses, 3 to 5 drop doses. I think it’s the most amazing relaxant plant in general, but it’s really excellent in terms of its specific affinity for the lungs and the respiratory system. Lobelia will literally relax smooth and skeletal muscles anywhere it’s needed in the body.

Pleurisy root (Asclepius tuberosa): This is also an excellent relaxing expectorant. The interesting thing about many of our relaxing expectorants, but especially lobelia and pleurisy root, is that they are also amazing relaxing diaphoretics. That is why I think they’re very applicable remedies here, because they not only treat respiratory constriction, but they also support fever. That is actually the next category of remedies that I’d like to talk about.

So, expectorants are very important to consider and I think it’s good to keep those categories of expectorants in mind. You really have to follow the case, when you’re working with someone with a respiratory tract infection, it changes a lot. This is something we’re seeing with the Covid infection is that typically it’s starting out as a very dry cough. So, focusing on our demulcent remedies is probably going to be important in the earlier stages. As it progresses, we’re seeing significant damp accumulation in the lungs as well, which is going to point us more towards our stimulant expectorants to help to dry out those excessive fluids.

Pleurisy root (Asclepius tuberosa)

Bitter Expectorants There are also other categories of stimulant expectorants that tend to be more bitter. They tend to be bitter and draining to fluid accumulation. A great bitter expectorant for this condition would be a remedy like Andrographis as well as Hyssop and Horehound.

Holistic Treatment of Fevers Our other main category here is our diaphoretics and, like an expectorant, a diaphoretic is a plant that innately supports the vital force – specifically in this case with fever. This is a super important point in general when we’re looking at holistically treating a fever, that is, again, non suppression. Like the cough, the fever is an intelligent response that we want to support and help it to do its job.

The unfortunate thing is that typically fevers, again in allopathic approaches, are seen as the enemy. They’re seen as the bad guy and that we need to take that fever away. There are lots of powerful over the counter drugs that are very effective at suppressing a fever. This is really our whole category of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.). These are all very powerful anti-inflammatory medicines that basically will shut off that whole fever response.

For the person who has a fever, you pop a few aspirin and that fever goes down, it’s great, you feel amazing. Which is good cause the fever is uncomfortable and no one likes having a fever, but the unfortunate thing is that during that timeframe where your fever is suppressed, that pathogen is reproducing like crazy.

When a pathogen enters the body, your immune system responds to it and reads the protein structure of that pathogen and reads what it is and sends a signal to the hypothalamus, the higher regulatory centers of the brain, which controls of your body temperature, but also the peripheral venting mechanisms, the opening and closing of the pores of the skin. The way a fever works is that in the hypothalamus, the basal set point of the temperature is increased and then the pores of the skin are closed and body temperature goes up.

The whole premise of that fever is that heat is basically cooking out, so to speak, that pathogen typically through denaturing protein structures. When that fever is suppressed, that’s not happening anymore, thus that virus is able to reproduce. I think a really important thing to remember here in this Covid situation is that if someone has a fever, they probably shouldn’t take an NSAIDS. I know they bring a lot of relief and make you acutely feel better, but with how fast this virus moves I think that period of time where the fever is suppressed can be very dangerous. It’s important for people to know that because most people don’t think it’s that big of a deal because it makes you feel better.

Elder flower (Sambucus cerulea)

Diapohoretics These are plants that support the fever in doing its job. Like expectorants, there are two sub-categories of diaphoretics that I think are important to understand. The first is, again, our stimulant diaphoretics.

Stimulant Diaphoretics These are typically hot, dry plants and these are remedies that usually are circulatory stimulants. Like the expectorants, they are warming, pungent, aromatic, very rich in essential oils. They typically warm the stomach and the digestive system push blood out to the periphery. Think of a time when you’ve had a really ripping hot hot sauce and then get sweaty – you’re directly experiencing the stimulant diaphoretic property of cayenne or really any spicy pepper.

Some examples of stimulant diaphoretic remedies include: Cayenne, Ginger, Garlic, Black pepper, and Horseradish

In terms of fever, what we see is that oftentimes fevers move in stages and that can be traced to what’s going on physiologically in the body. Oftentimes, earlier stages of a fever, you actually feel cold, this is when your hypothalamus has reset the basal body temperature to say… 102 or 103, when normal is 98.6 or something. So once the hypothalamus has reset that basal body temperature point, you feel cold. This is typically where you feel cold shivers, low energy, pale skin, sluggish, feeling sick; but you’re not hot and sweaty and red and tense and really feeling feverish. That’s when you want to use your stimulant diaphoretics. The stimulant diaphoretics are for when the person looks and feels cold.

Relaxant Diaphoretics In contrast, we have our relaxant diaphoretics. The thing about the relaxant diaphoretics is that these are used for later stages of a fever. When the person is hot, they’re sweaty or maybe they’re hot and dry. You’ll oftentimes see redness on the skin and tongue, you’ll feel the pulses very rapid. They may be having a hard time sleeping and could be getting muscle aches and pains and they are genuinely feverish. This is where we use the relaxant diaphoretic.

The way a relaxant diaphoretic works is just like it sounds, these herbs relax constriction in the periphery. Michael Tierra says that in Chinese medicine these plants are referred to as surface relieving plants. The body’s trying to trap all this heat in, but we want to keep things moving. A relaxant diaphoretic will relax the tension in the pores and they’ll relax tension in the capillary beds so that the blood can flow all the way up to the surface and that internal heat can be released. What that’s doing is just moving that fever along faster and it’s actually getting it all the way out to the outside of the body rather than keeping that heat trapped at the core level. Relaxant diaphoretics are plants that are sometimes very bitter and are sometimes aromatic or acrid in quality as well.

Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) This herb is my top number one relaxing diaphoretic. Boneset is a very powerful plant, one of the most reliable relaxant diaphoretics in the Western materia medica. Traditionally there are different varying opinions on why this plant is called Boneset, but one is that it was used for “breakbone fever.” This name oftentimes refers to a malarial type fever where there’s deep seated aches and pains in the joints and muscles. Boneset is very specific for the fever with the aches and the pains.

Lobelia (Lobelia inflata): I mentioned Lobelia is a very acrid tasting plant and that acrid taste usually indicates a relaxing effect. Lobelia is really nice there if we’ve got constriction in the lungs, as well as fever so it’ll help both sides of that equation.

Pleurisy root (Asclepius tuberosa): Then again, we see Pleurisy root here as an excellent relaxant diaphoretic as well as relaxant expectorant. This herb also has a bit of a moistening property in the lungs. One of the specific indications for Pleurisy root actually is very hot and dry up above in the respiratory tract with a very damp condition lower down in the respiratory tract. That’s a pretty specific indication for Pleurisy root.

Yarrow (Achillea milliafolium): This is one of the most important stimulant diaphoretic herbs. I think this is a very indicated plant here, as it moves the blood very well and is very supportive for fever, but also has a pretty nice broad-spectrum antiseptic property.

Relaxant Diaphoretic Triplet Tea: Elder flower (Sambucus spp.), Peppermint (Mentha piperita) and Yarrow These are our classic relaxing expectorants which constitute a pretty classic triplet formula in Western herbalism used to treat fever.

These are some of what I see as being some of the more important remedies here to consider in the treatment of fever as well as in the treatment of cough, both of which oftentimes accompany viral respiratory route infections. Those are our primary actions and therapeutic categories and a few examples of plants that you would want to consider.

Fresh Yarrow & Mint for a Diaphoretic Tea

Lymphagogues There are some additional categories of herbs that might be secondary to consider in this application and one is the lymphagogue action. Maintaining the health of the lymph, keeping the lymph moving attending to any lymphatic swelling is very important in the treatment of any type of acute infection because the lymphatic system is a central location where a lot of our immunity is, it’s really like the filter for our body. We want to make sure that lymph keeps moving which is what our lymphagogue remedies do.

Red Root (Ceanothus americanus, C. velutinus, Ceanothus spp.) This herb is among my top two lymphagogues that I work with quite often. There are many species of Red Root. Ceanothus americanus is the more common one, but there’s lots of different types of Red Root which are medicinal. Ceanothus velutinus was a species that I had used a lot when I lived in Southern Oregon. Red root is amazing for all manner of lymphatic stagnation, swollen spleen, swollen liver. It’s very bitter and astringent. Keep in mind, this is a very drying plant.

Poke root (Phytolacca americana): This is a very very strong lymphagogue plant. It is generally considered a low dose herb in herbal medicine because higher doses of it can be a little irritating to the digestive system. That being said, I do know of practitioners that use Poke root in actually pretty high doses. Typically, they’re treating pretty severe diseases like cancer in those cases.

Red root and Poke root are two really good lymphagogues to consider. I consider them to be more on the stronger side of the lymphagogues, but this is a situation where if someone’s got a lot of lymphatic swelling, we want to really get that moving.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) This is generally regarded as a mild to moderate lymphagogue and is an effective herb for cleansing the lymphatic system. An additional benefit of Red Clover is that it’s a moistening expectorant as well. A good approach for herbalists is to consider which herbs cover the most of what we need to address in a person when you’re choosing remedies for them. For example, if someone has a dry cough and lymphatic swelling, rather than giving them a demulcent expectorant and a lymphagogue, you could get both of those desired herbal actions in one herb: Red Clover. That is what we might consider a specific remedy for that person’s presenting symptoms.

Cleavers (Gallium aparine) Though some people consider Cleavers to be a weaker herb, I’ve seen Cleavers work miracles. It is preferred to make sure you’re using Cleavers fresh, as dried Cleavers is generally considered pretty inactive. I primarily use a fresh tincture of the flowering aerial parts, including the leaf and stem. Some practitioners use a frozen succus or juice of fresh Cleavers, or even a succus that has been preserved in a small amount of alcohol.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): Calendula is a really excellent remedy here as well in the way it supports the body on so many levels – from the lymphatics and tissue healing to the bitter tonic properties in the liver and inflammation modulating properties as well.

Calendula officinalis

Antiviral Herbal Remedies The last category of herbal actions that I’d mention would be the “antivirals”. I’m not a huge fan of thinking in this way about plants because oftentimes the whole concept of a specific herb being antiviral is based off of petri-dish studies of isolated plant constituents. In such cases there can be jumps in logic that happened where we take an isolated chemical of a plant and we put it in a petri-dish with some sort of virus and we see that the isolated plant chemical killed the virus or deactivated the virus and then we say, “Oh, this plant cures viruses in human beings”. No, that single constituent in the plant killed an isolated virus in a petri-dish. That’s what that means. I think we can learn something valuable from scientific research about plants, yet I also believe it’s really important that we don’t make too large of leaps in terms of what we derive from that information.

Generally speaking, some of the main remedies that are considered antiviral herbs for the respiratory system are Lomatium and Osha, which we covered a bit earlier in this post.

Below is a tincture formula I put together for our friends and family members, such as my mother-in-law who is working on the front lines at the hospital and needs some extra strong protection for her respiratory system.

Anti-Viral Respiratory Tincture Formula: 20% Lomatium root (Lomatium dissectum) 20% Osha root (Ligusticum grayii) 20% Balsam Root (Balsamorrhiza sagitatta) 15% Echinacea root (Echinacea purpurea) 15% Elderberry (Sambucus cerulea) 5% Red Cedar fronds (Thuja plicata) 5% Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Usnea (Usnea longissima, Usnea spp.) This is a lichen which is best taken as a tincture specifically to extract the active constituents. Usnic acid is one of the main compounds found in this lichen which has been shown to be a very broad spectrum antiseptic, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral. The one thing about Usnea that we have to be a bit cautious of is that it also has some fever suppressing attributes to it. It actually is considered a febrifuge, or something that will lower a fever, but not like a diaphoretic. I don’t personally like to use usnea when someone has a fever unless they really need to get that fever down.

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): I’m mentioning Licorice again because I think it’s an incredibly valuable plant here to consider in this situation. It’s incredibly soothing with its demulcent properties and is also inflammation modulating

Elderberry (Sambucus cerulea, S. nigra) Of course Elderberry is considered a catchall antiviral remedy. It seems like there’s been some interesting things coming out about Elderberry that questions its antiviral attributes or whether it’s really safe to use during acute viral infections. However, again I’d caution against getting too worked up about the hype created from scientific studies of isolated constituents that aren’t founded in clinical application. I’ve used Elderberry clinically many times for acute viral infections and it’s always works quite well.

In conclusion, these are some of the main remedies and overarching categories of remedies that I would encourage you to look into and to work with as a preventative means for yourself and your family and your community in light of the Covid-19 infection.

Slowing down, Staying Centered & Grounded I just want to close by saying, there’s this whole physical infection going on with this virus right now, and yet there is a psychological virus that’s happening too in terms of a lot of perpetuation of fear and panic out there in the culture. I do think there is reason to be cautious and there is certainly reason for us to be proactive, however there’s a lot of paranoia that’s being induced in people as well which is important for us to keep in mind right now.

The whole way a virus functions is that it doesn’t have its own DNA. It doesn’t have its own identity and the way it works is that it invades the cell docks onto our own DNA so that it can reproduce itself. I think that’s very metaphorical in what is happening for some people psychologically. Something is getting into their minds and maybe overriding their logic or overriding their ability to maintain a sense of calm and center and clarity.

I just want to encourage everyone right now to stay as calm and centered as possible. This is a huge time here for us here on Earth. I think for us as herbalists, this is a really important time for us to step it up and to really take on a new level of responsibility in terms of our work with medicinal plants and our service to our families and our communities. Many of us have a little more time on our hands to level up our herb skills, to read those books that have been collecting dust and to log into your online herb courses and really learn what you need to learn in order to be an effective herbalist.

Many of us have been feeling that the Earth has been reaching a tipping point for a long time. Human beings have been living on this planet in a way that is very unsustainable, causing a lot of harm to all life, ourselves included. I believe that the Earth is intelligent and is constantly striving to maintain a dynamic state of equilibrium. This very well might be a Gaian response to humanity and trying to regain some semblance of that equilibrium.

While this is situation is incredibly traumatic and there’s been a loss of life, chaos, and a lot of fear. There have been a lot of ways that this is affecting humanity and the world as a whole in incredibly negative ways. However, there are multiple sides to everything and there is also some positive that can come out of this. We’re getting our garden ready right now and as we’ve been contacting our seed companies that we usually get seeds from, they’re sold out of a lot of stuff. This is great! Many people are putting in gardens for the first time and are taking an interest in more homesteading skills. It’s good for us to be responsible for our food, taking care of the fundamentals that give us life and maybe not being quite so reliant on having to get our food from the grocery store.

We’re also hearing that places that are traditionally very polluted have the cleanest air quality they’ve had in who knows how long, so again there are some critical ways we’re seeing the impact our slowing down is having on the Earth in a positive way. I do feel like this whole aspect of humanity being forced to slow down in a really big way right now is having a positive effect on the earth as a whole.

It’s easy for us as humans to really just focus on how things affect us as humans. Personally, I believe this way of thinking that has gotten us into the ecological situation on this planet that has been unfurling for the last hundred years or so. Pulling back and looking at the Earth as a whole and life as a whole intelligent being is what we need to be doing right now.

I just want to encourage you to just stay strong in these changing times. To have to put your faith and your belief in nature, to put your faith and your belief in the plants that you love and work with and depend upon.

The Work of the Herbalist in these Times These plants that grow on this Mother Earth are aware of what’s going on. These plants are intelligent, these plants are here to help us and I think they also have greater roles beyond that. They have ecological functions, they have their whole other roles that are outside of the sphere of humans. There’s a reason that these plants have these medicinal effects upon human beings.

As herbalists, this is the time where we really have to put our medicine where our mouth is and to really put our faith and our belief in these plants. It’s time to utilize them with integrity, reverence and respect and to move beyond our own internal blocks that stop us from helping people with our knowledge, skills and with the plants that we carry as medicines.

So I just want to say, hang in there, stay strong and put your belief in your plants. Hopefully some of what you learned here benefits you and helps you and your family and your community.

I also want to say thank you to all of the people that are working in necessary businesses; for the people that work at the grocery stores, for the people that are in service industries, for people in the hospitals, for the first responders, for everyone that is out there in the world and on the front lines, to all the people that are trying to figure out what to do to make this all come back into balance.

I just wanted to take this time to share some of my thoughts on the Covid-19 situation because I’ve been getting a lot of requests for it, so hopefully this serves you well.

Take care and be well, Sajah

Weigh the seriousness of the situation, your experience level in resolving similar issues, plus your financial situation to make a decision.

BIG CHANGES IN WATER HEATERS began April 2015. Is your water heater 8 years old or older? Changes in how water heaters are now made may effect you. The Department of Energy made new laws for water heaters starting April 2015. While the more energy efficient units will be better for the environment they could be very challenging for home owners, especially condo owners and where the water heater is in a small space or closet. New units will be larger, more complicated to install and costlier.
