“People talk about psychedelics reshaping the nervous system. Acupuncture kind of does the same thing,” said Richard Harris, a professor and endowed chair of the University of California, Irvine Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute.

What follows is a tad simplistic, but the point is made. Even the well-meaning doctors are run these days by the corporate structure, and are not paid to spend the time needed to educate their patients. Just enough time to type into their laptops and prescribe pharmaceuticals. That's why we have so many naturopaths, Chinese medical doctors and chiropractors, who don't play the corporate game.
WE KNOW WHY!!

Maybe it's time to take back your power ❓

British professional footballer had her lung punctured by a physical therapist. When it works they call it "Dry Needling," and when it fails it is "Acupuncture gone bad"

It was a really traumatic time for me and something that Im still figuring out now, still working through, Ellen White told BBC Sport how her decision to retire was accelerated by suffering a punctured lung.

Oh, s**t, that damn inflammation!

Although it's obvious that a diet of hot dogs and ice cream won't lead to a healthy physical life, new research illuminates how ultra-processed foods can also cause a significant decrease in brain function.

amen

”Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon.
With the sound of the river and the waterfall.
With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.
Heal yourself with mint, with neem and eucalyptus.
Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.
Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon.
Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars.
Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.
Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it.
Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead.
Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.
Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember: you are the medicine.”
- Maria Sabina

Happy Birthday, Maria Sabina❤️

María Sabina was a Mazatec sabia (“one who knows”) or curandera (medicine woman), who lived in Huautla de Jiménez, a town in the Sierra Mazateca area of the Mexican state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. She is known for sharing the divine gift of Psilocybin mushrooms with investigators and scientists, and thus with the world. She did not know how to read or write. Her verses were either spoken or sung. She expressed herself through the voice of “the sacred mushroom”, in a language that could be neither taught nor acquired. Her chants were first translated from her native Mazatec into English, and later into Spanish. Her healing sacred mushroom ceremonies, called veladas, were based on the use of psilocybin mushrooms, such as Psilocybe cyanescens. María Sabina is regarded as a sacred figure in Huautla and considered one of Mexico’s greatest poets. She did not take credit for her poetry; the mushrooms spoke through her.
