Cabbage omelette is the new cool!
Wow, is it so scrumptiously delicious 😋
We visited with a friend yesterday, who’s recovering well from a prostate “condition,” (the more accurate “C” word because the latter insinuates permanence and stagnation, whereas the former has a temporary quality and showcases the opportunity for transformation).
As we were discussing foods and lifestyle practices to support his body during this time, I casually mentioned cabbage as a great immune-boosting food, and fermented cabbage for the gut microbiome. He then told me about an omelette recipe with, of all things, cabbage!
It sparked my interest and got my stomach rumbling.
I dreamt up a simple recipe and tried it the very next morning:
- Coat a cast iron skillet with a pad of (grass-fed) butter
-Sprinkle in some mineralized sat
- Grate 1/2 cup purple cabbage into the pan of melted butter, simmer for 2-3 minutes
- Whip up 3 eggs with 1/8 cup oat milk
- Pour egg mixture over the cabbage,
- Sprinkle in Herbs de Provence spices, if you have on hand
- Cover pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes
- Unstick the omelette from bottom of pan using a spatula running along perimeter of pan
- Flop onto plate and dig in!
(serving size one person)

Please share comments below if you try this meal, and any adjustments you make. Would love to hear how this can evolve!

Bon appetit!

‘tis the season to start the homemade Vanilla extract process! I’m using grade A madagascar vanilla beans and some vanilla will be extracted for 8 weeks via vodka, and others with whiskey. Is it too early for a cocktail? Cheers!

Makes for a great Christmas gift for the bakers in your family 😋

DM me if you want the recipe.

So much wisdom from this co. I started following because my husband rides motorcycles and gets their newsletters. This one is particularly poignant.

"Fear is the anticipatory anxiety of harm, real or imagined. When fear anticipates a real avoidable harm, it protects us. However, when it anticipates an inevitable harm, or an avoidable harm, but does so disproportionately or, even worse, when it anticipates a merely imaginary harm, it can be disastrous.

Fear is consubstantial to human beings, but there are exogenous elements interested in exacerbating it.
Thus, governmental powers are creating a society that compassionately seeks an unattainable security that idealizes a fantasy: living with zero risk.

They offer us a false promise of security in exchange for our freedom and do so under two premises. The first is that everything is dangerous; the second is that all danger can be avoided if we obey certain rules ordered by the Power, whether political, scientific or medical, which will protect us from all evil.

Fear eventually leads to servitude. However, feeling the power of danger keeps us unique and unrepeatable, just as nature created us."

Thank you El Solitario!

Did you know? You can report an adverse event or reaction you experienced after getting the covid shot, or any vaccine. This is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. To date the government (aka taxpayers) have paid out over $4 billion dollars in vaccine-related injury and death claims. I say taxpayers, because in 1986 a bill was signed that removed all liability from vaccine manufacturers, even if vaccine-related injury has been proven. The responsibility now falls on the government/taxpayers, since Reagan signed into law the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660).

In addition, the COVID-19 vaccine injury claims have paid over $48 million, and the adverse event of myocarditis from the covid shot alone totaled 370,376 in reimbursements.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in vaccines used in the United States. VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (AEs) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to....

My new canine clients, 10-month Linden and 11-week old Lizzy 🤍

Their human companions, Melissa & Chris, are starting off on the right foundation for a long life for their Golden pups; a blend of homemade food and raw meat, fresh in-season berries, homeopathic nosodes (in lieu of toxic vaccines), natural pest control (like blue green algae for immune health and omega-3s), and loads of love!

Hooraw! Bayer, BASF, and Syngenta are no longer allowed to produce their toxic herbicides, known to also kill animals and pollinators, but also cause severe health conditions in humans.

Three w**dkillers have been banned in the US (of which they have been banned for decades in other countries).

Among these is Paraquat, made by Syngenta, facing nationwide litigation over its paraquat herbicide, which thousands of plaintiffs claim causes Parkinson’s disease.

Paraquat is the most toxic herbicide to be marketed over the last 60 years. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “one sip can kill” and there’s no antidote for it.

Emails were located from way back in 1987 from the old executive chairman of Syngenta to the incoming chairman, indicating knowledge of the chronic condition and link to Parkinson’s. The email was not about studying this further, but rather positioning the company through marketing endeavors and “spin“ of the science that was coming out.

In a study published in The American Journal of Epidemiology those living within 1500 feet from farms where this herbicide is applied are 75% more at risk of developing the brain condition of Parkinson’s.

Even while the studies showing a potential link to development of Parkinson’s, the US has increased its use.

What can you do?
- cease buying and using Roundup (glyphosate) and other w**d-killing (which also means soil-killing and health-depleting) substances
- ask local Home Depot/Lowes/Ace or other local farm, feed, and home stores to not stock these products that are banned in most other countries
- vote for local legislators and other candidates that support the ban of these toxic chemicals (whatever you may feel about Trump, after the court of appeals issued a ban on these three w**d killers, the Trump administration REAPPROVED the manufacturing of these products)
- Yes, we are exposed to many toxins every day
- No, we cannot remove all threats from our lives

What I remind my clients is that it it is like the cup runneth over. Our bodies can actually handle a lot of insults, until one too many. Remove one and that can help a little or even a lot.

Exciting! After four years of delay the landmark Fluoride trial with EPA is set to resume this week on Jan. 31st.

This study shows a connection to

If you and your family drink municipal water, it is likely fluoridated. Please consider switching to either RO or filtered water.

Also, for young children and pregnant mothers - systemic ingestion of fluoride has been shown to REDUCE IQ IN YOUNG CHILDREN as there is a detrimental effect to the developing brain.

The benefits of fluoride appear to be when it has direct contact with the outside of the tooth, as in from toothpaste, but NOT in the systemic ingestion of the substance.

Of course more studies are needed, however the ones currently published are amassing and elucidating cause for concern.
