It appears I am not the only one that doesn't think very highly of trending dietary fads. The peer pressure seems to be among those choosing gluten-free as the wise, gut-healthy option, making others around them feel less-than if they don't make similar choices. But the other half of the gluten-free push, has been the discovery that farmers spray their crops with glyphosate. This has caused many to avoid gluten like the plague, because they mistakenly blame the gluten instead of the glyphosate. Mercola released an article today that is aimed squarely at parents, but anyone of any age and stage can make use of this information. His article is talking about the health risks that parents inflict on their children when they choose gluten-free without a firm diagnosis. Mercola gives suggestions for how to eat that strengthen the gut, allay fears, and perhaps even allow the gut to handle wheat gluten in time. What passes as healthfood these days, often is either ultra-processed in some fashion, or loaded in heavy metals while skimping or even missing basic necessary nutrients (or as my late mom would say, getting them from the wrong sources, ie: folic acid instead of folate) So consider this one very long introduction to an article I've already saved to my gut-health folder.

"A recent survey in Esquimalt showing an increasing number of residents relying on paid-subscription-based primary care clinics is the predictable result of an ongoing shortage of family physicians, says the B.C. Conservatives’ rural health critic. “There’s no walk-in clinics left down there anymore, . . .other than to go and sit in an ER for 12 hours, potentially.”" Doctors and nurse are not merely being "poached" by private medical clinics but most have not been hired back after mandates lifted for the public. "Subscriptions range from $80 to $250 a month for individuals, with a discount for paying annually, and $120 a month or about $1,200 annually for a family." "Osborne said the Health Ministry is committed to making sure access to quality health care “is based on need, not ability to pay.”" Here in Canada, our taxes pay for basic healthcare. The way Canadians look at accessing healthcare services is shifting, and the more Canadians will need to pay out of pocket for services they used to take for granted. Accessing natural health options requires a mindset shift, moving from emergency care to preventive care, to giving the body the tools it needs to begin the task of healing going forward. People who want herbal medicine while still respecting what modern science has taught us, will appreciate the phytotherapeutic approach given in my current book project. When this project is done, it will inform other book projects in the pipeline. But it's time Canadians get used to the idea of paid health care, because the alternative is increasinly, death.

Because it happened during the week of the World Economic Forum's meetings in Davos, Switzerland, consider the following three articles to be your PSA that if you weren't including certain foods, herbs and spices in your winter regimen before, now is the time to start. None of these articles I'm about to share are short! I recommend putting together your favourite beverages, maybe one per article, your favourite snacks, a comfey chair, and perhaps put on a fireplace movie if you don't have an actual fireplace. Then open each of these articles one by one, with a notepad and pen handy, and maybe have a pillow nearby to scream into if you feel it necessary. Use your notes to inform your shopping and meal/snack plans going forward. If you'd like assistance with this, do reach out to me.

in answer to yesterday's article, I went looking for something to make for myself. Two questions came to mind: Could one make chickpea hummus with carrots, and can one blend cheese into hummus? Various people do include carrots in their hummus. I then found a recipe for a cottage cheese hummus, and figured I could swap in my cheese sauce instead. While digging these up, I found another way to prepare dry chickpeas that doesn't involve soaking all night. I enjoyed my first meal with the dip, and then went to my database. As noted in yesterday's article, vitamin's A,C, and E have been noted to help with anti-inflammatory action in the lungs. Both A and E are fat soluble, and that is provided in my dip with the cheese sauce made from heavy cream. Parsley is in the list of foods containing beneficial compounds for lung health and healing, boasting 9 of the 29 compounds that bring down inflammation and help restore function, Onions contain both cysteine and quercetin, both found by researchers to be beneficial in the quest for better lung health. Strategic eating for the win! Imagine being able to enjoy your food and benefit from it at the same time?! Strategic eating can benefit you as well.

We were recently approached at the Rutland Flea Market, with whether or not we had any teas that would be recommended for someone suffering COPD. The day was slow, so Ashley began looking up a few studies online, sent me a couple links, and when we got home, I began my own research. Various compounds found in food, herbs and spices have been observed for their ability to address some aspect of COPD. A few of the herbs are in one or more of the teas we sell on Ashley's Ashtree Wildcrafting table, and we have zeroed in on the specific tea to offer the inquirer when we see them again. COPD is a multi-faceted condition that can begin a number of ways, including smoking or being around smokers, poor long-term dietary choices, age, and bacterial lung infections. The COPD sufferer needs to assess their lifestyle, their environment, and their daily food habits if they want to begin the road to healing. If you are suffering asthma, COPD, emphysema, or similar ailments and you got to the end of this article wondering how you'd make use of this information for yourself, feel free to reach out to me using this form, and let's chat.
