the possibility of losing touch with a good friend
There is no way you will lose touch with this man! Not after what I just read. No way. I feel blessed just knowing there is such a friendship as this one in the world.
I have lost touch with so many people over the years! There are very few I have known for many years, but there are a few. Ann from my early days in Brooklyn - I just spent quite a bit of time with her. Sylvie in Nyack from my college days - I just spent a night at her lovely home. And Susan from my hometown, who is a dear friend again now that I have moved back to that hillbilly town. The ones who really really matter stay with you.
I'd really like to think this would be the case. I've never been a person to have a lot of friends but have had a handful of close ones throughout the years but, as with a lot of folks, the pandemic really changed that. Those years really changed so many of my other friends in some strange and unpredictable ways. As I said though, I choose to remain optimistic. It's great to hear from you @owasco. I hope the summer has treated you well!
I've been insanely busy! Not only did I graduate from an academy for homeopathy after a year of grueling study, I've also started taking violin lessons again! I wanna be a fiddle player who can jam with the best of them. The garden is cranking out food that needs processing (I can't wait for winter at this time of year), my dog needs her daily long walk (me too) and I gotta squeeze time in for just hanging out with others - I could easily live the life of a recluse. I've freed up a bit of cash by selling my building in Park Slope Brooklyn (sad that it will no longer be in my life but it had to go) and am looking at properties in Nashville to be near my eldest who, I hope, will begin breeding soon.
It's all good!
That all does sound like a good kind of busy! Congratulations on all those accomplishments and new beginnings! My sister-in-law in Sedona is a homeopathic healer, she's been at it since 1995. As soon as all this work is done on our house we'll be getting another beagle. I feel like we're both ready now. : )
Great! I look forward to your posts about your beagle. I miss Amstel. I can hear him now.
How is that house going?
And you have a homeopath in your life? I'm using a method dubbed "practical homeopathy" which is probably very different from that of your sil. It's been structured for anyone to be able to use for everyday ailments, and is very effective for just about any illness. I treated an infection on my hand a couple days ago, one that would have sent me for medical care five years ago. One dose, and within a few hours it was noticeably improved, gone the next morning. That stuff is fabulous!
He definitely left a void. The next beagle will be lucky to grow up out here in all this nature! Although Amstel did appreciate all those discarded chicken wings people would throw out of their car windows in the city. : )
Yes! Lilli started as a massage therapist and then took a two year course on homeopathy. She comes from a long line of healers, her grandmother practiced in Mexico. That sounds incredible you were able to heal the infection that quickly. There's great power in natural medicine!
This recent JRE Podcast opened my eyes to things I didn't know about our healthcare system.
The short of it is it's worse than I even thought. Do you do consultations?
I've only just started this video, but this rings very plausible regarding dosage:
No surprise there.
Homeopathic products are heavily regulated and facilities inspected by the FDA, far more heavily than pharmaceuticals, which are made willy nilly (remember covid vaccines anyone?). The remedies are very inexpensive. They work, some would say effect cures, (although we are not allowed to say so) and only occasionally have mild but temporary side effects. They also taste good. Kids love them.
Thanks for the video. I expect it to be eye-opening.
Brigham goes into great detail about how much more strictly regulated compound pharmacies are than big pharmaceutical companies. I learned a few things I'd never heard before in this interview. I'm actually thinking of getting a blood panel done from this clinic, Ways2Well. They interpret everything and come up with a plan to balance out deficiencies and such. You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it.
Yes! Free! I don't need or want to make money. I don't want the tax related complications.
Great to know! I'll keep this in mind! : )
