Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Greetings Friends. For anyone wishing to upgrade health, whether catastrophic or chronic, a gentle entry point to deep major corrections needed in these times across all terrains is application of what I've come to call Fundamental Materials, fulcrum of life in all habitats, in our soil, inner & outer, our plants and in our pets and other animals that live on those plants. Our topsoil is thin, and thin also is our neuro-immunological & behavioral topsoil, not only thin but a bit dented by let us say urban excess. For breast cancer especially take note of Iodine and Magnesium, two endemic deficiencies. (Get some selenium in there to support iodine assimilation first.) As the Pipe-Carriers and Elders say, let us first acknowledge the Stone People & the Fire, the minerals, the most subtle highest vibrating realm from which all life emanates. In which some say God rests & dreams. Without them we lose all dreams and become restless indeed. Guarding & tempering the bio-assimilability & balance of minerals is a sacred task; we each work in our own vessel, we share many others. Google for the work of geochemist HD Foster & his free e-books in pdf on " What Really Causes ... " . Do some reading at www.mgwater.com/ Various mineral sources compiled by Barry Carter with focus on safety & assimilability: www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/sources.htm Among these vendors, there can be found some excellent basic reading on basic materials at: www.life-enthusiast.com/usa/ www.tibetangold.com/ssl/zc/ I particularly also like the product list, articles, archives & newsletters from David Dartez at www.globallight.net/ In many of the mineral discussion groups there is a lot of enthusiasm. Please have patience. There is also lucid record-keeping, documentation, instruction. Many people experience a Return to Normalcy as an " altered state " -- which just goes to show you how upsidedown we've been hung. ***************************************************************** Below are some noodlings fragrant from my Inner Pharmacologist: Monday, July 27, 2009 1:16 PM Thoughts while awaiting Solar Eclipse ************************************* Go here for noise & fun & pet costumes: www.skipspharmacy.com/costume.shtml ************************************* Dear Friends. For a while now, I have under compulsion gathered lists & sources of what I would consider " fundamental materials " for pet health & garden. Perhaps like many of us. Perhaps like some of us, I feel a need to condense these notes & lists into a proposed inventory of " preparedness information & materials " . What could be greener, more upbeat -- more engaging & constructive? These lists are never complete. " Preparedness Buyers Clubs " are the natural emerging " detailers " to support & serve any practitioner who espouses " preventive " or " complementary " medicine, people like MD-educator Len Saputo of Walnut Creek (recently videoed on Real News). Is it not yet time to undercut the ruinous mark-up of most nutraceuticals? Never mind that drugs proliferate like weeds. More on this later, beautifully rehashed below if I say so myself. Who knows how long it will take for " common knowledge " to improve? Get private coaching, either from trusted friends or from experts like Keith Smith (Keith Smith's Herb Shop), Stephen Fowkes (CERI & SmartDrugs), Bill Sarill (Indigo Family Healers). These wizards and others are available by phone. An tsunami of cheerful competence & good sense arises. More suitable now than " drugs " at the practitioner level is the teaching & revival of traditional forgotten pet & garden, self- & -family care, fundamental methods & materials. We are at a turbulent convergence of two great confusions, weeds & drugs. Of these two absurdly undefined categories, the weeds are gaining the beneficial upper hand. It's a silly seesaw in the first place. Muddy waters roil. Imagine. Let an entire set of useful materials be purchased at bulk by local storehouse providing either shelf-sale or referral to mail-order direct access, either way a better value both for storekeeper & for clients. (Remember the AmWay garagefuls?) Take a look at pet-country, horse & herd country, true-wealth country. Common usage could be greatly improved by myriad forgotten superior safer more effective materials; many seeming old fashioned. Hooray for activated charcoal, pet-grade Diatomaceous Earth, colloidal silver, Amantadine, mustard plasters, icthammol ointment, coal tar & cabbage leaves. How on earth did such materials fall into dis-use? These are skills of Basic Socializing. Did we terminate the Basic Socializing? For any individual, where tolerable, use of simplest & least expensive materials would be the obvious starting-point. If the physiology is so denatured & immune dys-response so complexified that simple materials are no longer tolerable (as in food allergies for example) then make it a goal ... to regain & simplify one's own health, escaping unnecessary complications in diagnosis, symptom or treatment. (For me personally this translates pretty efficiently to Never Set Foot in Walgreen's Again and reducing the presence of corporate sigils anywhere in my personal space.) Thoughts on Budgeting & Shelfspace & Transport Costs: Limit purchase of higher priced items to those which are most effective. An example, if I had only two essential oils, I'd use Lavender (relatively inexpensive, works on most everything) & Helichrysm (expensive, perfect for whatever nothing else works on). Between the Lavender & the Helichrysm, I'd keep the rack minimal or empty, avoiding inventory-cost of working my way through the mid-range array. If the Lavender doesn't suffice, reach right for the Helichrysm. Sometimes it’s best to not postpone the best. Work toward the intermediate-cost resource inventory only as required for pain management, that's how I'd map it. & make it a priority in any community-of-care to reduce pain to minimum at least cost. You'd think this'd be obvious. I'm almost embarrassed to spell it out. The frittering mid-range is fine if one has it on hand ... but my preferred two acquisition principals are at two poles: most-effective (regardless of cost) & lowest cost (if helpful at all or even just safe). Let us name these pharmacological polarities: Power and Sweetness. If it is not the Pearl of Great Price, then let it be free or cheap. The sorcery I like least is the endless middlegame, a shellgame of mediocrity between these two poles. Most pharmabiotech is nowadays elaborated in parallel to the ridiculously elaborated diagnostic labyrinth of the branded medicine now ascendant in global commerce. Most Magic Bullet Wonder Drugs fall into this mid-range of limited use. There is very little left that is generally useful in all conditions, or superbly useful in most. When did we let go of sense? Why should I be bothered to acquire anything else when I may need only Two Things? An exaggeration, but illustrative. On the one hand, I'd use the clays & precipitates & fasting for foundation of an affordable supportive regime, coupled with the other hand holding ... oh stuff like Transfer Factor, Poly-MVA, Helichrysm essential oil. High end stuff. These certainly qualify as costly examples, and they are actually helpful, not toxic. That's a wonder right there. Maybe even slamdunk helpful. Maybe even actually sufficient, not just necessary. Point being that if prescription-medicine is " necessary " , it is only in the sense that it is calculated never to be sufficient, it's designed that way. How to escape these enchantments? Is there any alchemy that can help? Fortunately I'm an amateur at this, so these examples are not definitive. My view is more or less the Housekeeper’s View. Well okay the Concerned Housekeeper’s View. My sleeves are care-raveled all right, but I hold no license. I eat little & I sleep well. Cheapest healing program of all is abstention. In fact it's proverbial among concentration-camp survivors that the initial starvation alone commonly cured chronic conditions. As to restoring one's fundamental terrain, I would not recommend any action or outlay whatsoever to someone who is not already abstaining from simple sugars. Why would one wish to converse with anyone who is sugar-stoned & sugar-dulled anyway? Were I mercifully inclined, I suppose I'd suggest licorice to be taken in the mornings. The glycolized sugar-burned norm consists of most of us, burnouts needing bootstrap ... licorice in the AM ... maybe it'll help postpone the inevitable crash of this speeding sleigh-ride. Most of us are in this pre-emergency state grazing at the length of a pegged rope anyway. Contented, in circles. The diabetics will have to find their own support group, there are already so many. I like www.healingmatters.com for Type2. Type1 could check out Sergei Boutenko’s rawfamily.com & the growing resources available for vaccinosis & other miasms, perhaps Malcolm Smith & the younger Indian homeopaths. Find a best friend or a private consultant like those mentioned or comparable. These are the Helpful People who can coach one through reversal of more complex chronicities, who can direct the supplement budget to best effect for a particular individual at a particular time. & get some energy-elemental coaching (I like Vedic astrologer Carrea Desai & Master Dowser Shirley Runco). Find anyone who can help restore every child's Lost Heritage, at least in First Cultures. Also recommended by SF Tesla Society favorite William Roulette Smith: Medical school should start in kindergarten. To best conserve the resources at hand, for best non-toxic least costly benefit to the greatest number ... simple measures like abstaining from simple sugars, internal cleansing within reason ... so many simple things, at no cost, any one of them likely to clear up 90% of whatever is ailing 90% of us. Public health, or intentional community, on whatever scale, triage & best use of scarce resources requires an agreed-upon measure of shared prudence, no? I do not care what you call it; a set of sacraments, a constitition, house rules ... whatever. Inventory Tip: Permaculture Cult notwithstanding, Permaculture, like Sustainability, is quintessentially Local. The inventory-channels & supply lines of which we may dream will of course vary hugely with the locus of the buyer-provider population. When farmer-MDs like Lynn August educate on uses of clay & salt & repopulation of subsoil microbes & fungi, surely we may re-learn -- as a matter of private & domestic common sense, as a matter of public policy & community health -- we may re-learn that, wonder of wonders, we are not inherently drug-or-fertilizer-deficient. I must remember to make sure that my garden is never deficient in useful weeds, however. Preparedness Buyers Clubs underwhatevername are obviously a part of community greening ... in the most useful way possible, with beneficial impact on one's health & family, where results are first-hand, close-up, obvious. Where the senses are engaged, at the level of garden, pantry, sink & bath, the " consumer " is less likely to fall prey to enchantment. Above all in the garden. For those already overtaken by the pervasive trance of barstool or tv-screen ... there's still a chance of breaking the spell -- especially if the indigestion, the insomnia become sufficiently insistent. After the commercials, remember to pull out the spellbreakers & noisemakers. Rompe maldicion. Re-member. Collect yourself. Why not risk it? Why not risk coming to recollection of soil & sense & sheer Presence of the Material World, remembrance of what food is and what in us is nourished by it? For me at the end of this long journey it has come to a remembrance of minerals. If I am not in fact at this journey's end, if truly I am simply lost in a dark wood, well then, my minerals may guard & guide me well. My own no longer purely private concerns compel an interest in the assimilability & bio-availability of minerals across environment & food chain. Speaking for myself, I do tend to see the long chain of contributors, mentors & participants in the ORMUS communities as working with a trust that has worked well for those who've participated. Never would I prefer the Walgreen's dispensary altar, with its little bell & fascinating shelves behind glass. At this worship-vault, there's where the consumer is soaked helpless by sheer mediocrity, swamped in the plethora of mid-range materials, neither fundamental nor superb. Every year, the US official Pharmacopeia de-lists materials of value (with their track records of proven sufficiency) & acquires material of less value (necessary & " effective " by the most meagre of standards, " effective " real meaning Guaranteed Never to Suffice). That's the whole idea. The unspoken research & discovery standard, the governing rule of inventory acquisition in globally dominant retail pharmacology is apparently, colorably, arguably, provably & damnably demonstrably, to avoid any material whatsoever that may prove sufficient, to stock only those materials that are forever necessary because they are Known Never To Suffice. Capiche? " Known never to suffice " . That is the standard of contemporary pharmacology. We pretend we do no harm; in reality we do no good. Failure to do Good is Harm. By contrast, I do like the spirit of the compounder at www.skipspharmacy.com/costume.shtml Funny music too. A different kind of window here. Remember back when, not so long ago, the older still-dignified pharma-detailers announced themselves as representing So & So Ethical Pharmaceuticals? No more, not for decades now, not even in name, has there been a claim to the title " ethical pharmaceuticals " . As for most nutraceuticals, no matter how impeccable the ingredients, as a category the cost is unconscionable. A re-won familiarity with older materials now in dis-use (carefully chosen of course not to waste the hindsight) re-skills our own hands. Conversely of course, a sense of empty-handedness may return us to study & remembrance of materials. Time beats at our heels, don't you feel? Perhaps some winged chariot will land, sweet cargo to ground (3-5 most important clays? iodine soluents -- solid-state sodium & potassium?). The materials we choose & shape, they shape & choose us too. Go, keep ears to the ground, the discussions clustering online around LDN, DMSO, MMS, eytonsearth, earthclinic, curezone, shirleyswellnesscafe and it goes without saying pretty much anything under the rubric " ORMUS " . In all these groups, many adjunct methods & materials are discussed; they are a mine of naturapathic lore ... a heartening reclamation of Goethean or biodynamic sciences. Scratch that. A reclamation of some kinda scalar-sovereign-super-semi-conductive-sufficiency is probably what I mean more plainly. Explore the wealth of generosity & goodwill that awaits not only here at . Try also the merest gurgling Google upon ... almost anything, from radionics to ritual, devices or deviceless, empty-handed or intended, McTaggart, Groening, Tom Tam at Tong Ren, Mae-Won Ho at i-SIS. & the multitudes of older traditions; seek their wisdom-holders. For now for myself I still seek a preparedness buyers group, local or cyberlocal. Storehouse & granary can hardly be any fuller than the lit lamp. How high can we hold it?
