"Your body is still suffering. It’s just doing it quietly enough that you don’t notice." - that's exactly what happened to me after they reduced my dose of birth control meds to a "tolerable" version! Only when I stopped I noticed how much better, happier and full of energy I was feeling. I lived years of my life in a unnoticeable state of numbness, I'm still angry about it. Thanks for putting it in such appropriate words!
Love being a subscriber to your site...it is easily the most informative for all things health. I often link your posts at other sites and hopefully that helps you out! I'm likely a subscriber as long as both parties are willing and able. Quick question...shingles...the wife had an event a few years ago and we used a Roycederm product based on wormwood. She found it instantly remedied pain. Lo and behold, she just went through a period of sickness and they have arrived once again! That creme still works for her but she's about out and don't think they produce it any longer. Anything in your toolbox, aside form, of course, working for a stronger immune system, that might alleviate the pain?
For diseases that occur locally, it is essential to use localized treatment methods, such as interventional procedures. Using any systemic methods (oral or intravenous administration) to treat localized diseases (such as cancer) will inevitably result in side effects.
Cures come from health. Cures have health effects. Most cures are trivial; most cures are non-medical. These cures are ignored medically. The cure for the common cold does not exist, because the cure for the common cold is health. The same is true of influenza, measles, and COVID. When we are healthier, we get fewer illnesses - and cure them faster. Most medicines have no cure goal, they aim to push our illness 'sideways'. It's no wonder that medicines have side effects.
“Side-Effect” is a great example of how they fool us with words. The effect is not on the side. It’s not a side-effect. It’s a NEGATIVE effect. It’s a feature.
Thank you for this post! I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety and woke up this morning to see this post. So I headed outside just as sun was rising, stuck my feet in the ground and sat for about 10 minutes. I didn’t expect anything, but I physically felt my body relax like I hadn’t in a while. Like when you’re really thirsty and you finally get a drink of water. I’ll make this part of my daily routine! So appreciate your tips! A true cure! Thank you so much!🤗❤️☀️
I enjoy your thoughts / much of value. Feeling better depends on your cultural background to some extent. So many patients I see have their expectations based on metrics. They are well but would feel better with a clear colonoscopy, lowered cholesterol or blood pressure. It's almost like many don't know how to feel better, suffering from a fear of missing out or dying. They have forgotten how to smell the roses or experience your sunlight recipe. There's also a background of the need to 'do the right thing' and that every condition reflects fault on a poor diet or not getting the right treatment. I do get a guilty pleasure occasionally by being asked what causes this or that symptom or condition and shrugging my shoulders snd replying that 'I have no idea' 😳After initially being taken aback they seem to appreciate the honesty and elements of humour!
I am an herbalist - the only side-effect of herbs are benefits and compost. Traditional medicine doesn't even pollute this beautiful earth. Meanwhile, our water supply is adulterated with many pharmaceuticals and now our fish and alligators are born with ambiguous genitalia. If you're curious about the curative powers of herbalism in curing anti-biotic resistant infections, I recommend you read "Herbal Antibiotics" by Stephen Harrod Buhner. There are miracles to be had.
My wife was put on nifedipine for high blood pressure following atrial fibrillation, and a subsequent ablation that stopped it. She was experiencing periodic tachycardia and persistent lethargy. Because of that her cardiac electrophysiologist recommended stopping the nifedipine. She started doing the sunrise/sunset routine described, and now has a lower blood pressure than she had on the drug and is feeling like herself again. Thanks for this excellent piece!
My wife and I are over 70 and are not any drugs! If we don’t raise it, grow it, make it we don’t eat it. They are out to kill us and I will not give them the satisfaction of doing so!!! Love this Substack!
Why do you think people that want help you secretly want to kill you? Don’t you think it’s more rational to think that maybe they just think they’re helping but are unknowingly harming you? You know via ignorance

Any advice for how to ground during morning and nighttime hours in cold climates? We live in a gray wintry landscape for months out of the year.. 🙃

My recent epiphany:
The medical curricula is geared toward maximizing a physician’s income, not a patient’s outcome.
For diseases that occur locally, it is essential to use localized treatment methods, such as interventional procedures. Using any systemic methods (oral or intravenous administration) to treat localized diseases (such as cancer) will inevitably result in side effects.

Like my old man always says, the only cure is prevention. Love it!

Indeed. “Side-Effect” is an anagram of 'eff deceits'.
now that's what's up

Thank you for the rec, will definitely check it out.
This seems to be one of the final frontiers in abandoning centralized medicine.

This is a very heart warming story. Gives me something to try.
