A Few Notes on OM🙏cron
1) OMicron is massively infectious, so much so that a significant percentage of the population is going to have a visit. The numbers are clearly much greater than the daily totals. Has there has ever been a phenomenon quite like this? The speed and thoroughness of OMicron’s spread has been awesome to observe. OMicron is like a bush fire in a drought and everyone can and likely will get it, so much so that it knits us all, vaccinated and unvaccinated, back together as one. OM🙏. 😉
2) Most of the cases start with a sore throat, headache, some mucous, not too chesty, fatigue. Sometimes fever, sometimes not. In other words, it is more like a head cold or mild flu. Studies indicate that Omicron has considerably less impact on the lungs. https://www.nytimes.com/.../covid-omicron-lung-cells.html
3) Putting this together we have a version of Covid that is far more powerful than previous editions in its infectiousness, yet less pathogenic. Powerful enough to sweep clean previous Covid viruses and confer a manageable illness on enough people for the population to generally attain herd immunity. We could hardly ask for a better scenario for ending the pandemic, as a pandemic. https://www.cnbc.com/.../omicron-could-potentially-hasten...
4) Covid and future variants will continue in endemic form, a background presence to which most everyone, by illness, vaccination or both, has a degree of immune protection. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/.../what-will-it-be-like.../
5) There will, of course be those who experience greater illness, hospitalizations and death. This is a matter of sheer numbers of the infected and will primarily involve those with less resistance.
6) OMicron will largely burn out in four to six weeks. https://www.salon.com/.../some-speculate-that-omicron.../
7) So in the meantime, look after yourself now (and always), if you haven‘t been visited as yet, and take good care if you have. Do all the good things to support your immune system, the exercise if you can, the supplements, you know the ones, the herbs, the remedies, get enough rest, let go of fear, see the light at the end of the tunnel racing towards us.

"I'm in the basement mixing up the medicine..." - Bob Dylan.
Plant medicines in the form of herbal tinctures have gradually become an important part of the my naturopathic practice that always and still centres on homeopathy. It is truly incredible the amount of scientific research into plant medicines in the last thirty years. Researching and applying this I've created a variety of formulations that have great clinical value. Generally, I buy the tinctures from several Canadian manufacturers, but my studies to improve the formulations has began turning up plants that I couldn't find in tincture form. Searching here and there I was able to source a number of these in certified organic dry form and began creating my own tinctures late last year. Some come from a grower in Thailand, some from suppliers out east or in the States. Recently, I began to expand the project to include some of the plants I use quite regularly. For instance, Rhodiola comes directly from growers in Alberta. Putting all the necessary pieces into place for manufacture and extraction has been an engaging hobby. Here's how the project is looking to date.

This is a great article on the current science in support of homeopathy and the knuckle-dragger, anti-scientific attitudes purportedly in the name of science emanating from Wikipedia: http://prn.fm/homeopathy-can-wikipedia-get-wrong/?fbclid=IwAR1O9b59fVmQsTovFg3fqiZAt7nJluYqQWJ90F8y31fSRimdJKDp8yUuRR8
