Stay up to date on what I share on my blog, Scripture quotes, news as it pertains to staying healthy, body, soul and spirit, etc.
This is why my infusions, whether they are oil, ACV or glycerine, are not officially sold on the website, and why the pre-order trailkit is sold with herb packets and instructions to make your own oils with the herb blends instead. On the one hand, its an opportunity for you learn how to do something new. On the other hand, there are people who don't have the time, or perhaps stay away from the stove for valid reasons, but would prefer the finished product sooner than later (a 4 to 6 week non-heated infusion time is more widely known). This pushes such products into black market or back door territory!

Well that was a week! We foraged in two private property zones last Monday, then we hit the rail trail on Thursday not far from us. The lawn patch at home is having a bumper year for dandelion! I got a major haul off it the week before, then today, got a full bag of nothing but dandelion stems! On Saturday, we scouted out several foraging zones getting ready for May 17th, when we do the Arrowleaf Balsamroot Glycerine Advanced Foraging Workshop.
If you have not yet registered, but really want to attend, it's imperative I have your registration fee sooner than later, because my windows for obtaining non-foraged ingredients are closing.
On Sunday, we were at the Lake Country Spring Market, and while traffic was uncharacteristically slow, we did eventually almost quadruple our table fee.
People are starting to tell me to write books too. I've begun brainstorming desired content for a western herbalism focus, and after the initial brainstorming session, I wonder if it will be one book, or an entire program instead. But this all falls into the dreams, courses and ideas I shared with you some time back. What's encouraging, is that people are asking for it now.
Unfortunately, some of these discussions have been taking place over on Gab.com, and as I am a free member using a VPN for freespeech reasons, I am now banned from being able to log in and interact until I either go Pro, or drop the VPN!
This is the reason for always having your own website and your own newsletter for your business, ministry, or non-profit organization. When social platforms change on a whim and knock you out of a space you thought was secure, your website and newsletter will continue to keep people in the loop with what is going on.
Enjoy the sunshine. Read the full update here:

Last July, Gab decided that free members could not scroll back and see other free member's content past 2 months in history. Today, I come home from doing a craft fair, and find Gab's decided free members are not allowed to access the site using their VPN. It's no vpn, or go pro to surf their site using your vpn! They claim trouble cracking down on bad actors using VPN services. Personally, I find this argument weak, but that's their logic. If you are on Gab and have been sharing my content there, you are free to continue doing so, but maybe add a note that if your followers there have been trying to also follow me there, that no new content will be posted by me directly until Gab rescinds this latest effort to force users to pay up or ship out. I don't pay a platform unless that platform is earning me money. Gab has done various things over the years that have made me second guess being there, and I guess, I've been forced out. I'm not turning off my vpn as a free member!
If you were to take a Christian course on herbalism or natural health, what would you expect to find and what would you NOT want to see there? If like me, you already took your studies, here's your chance to say what you would have preferred to see and preferred not to see in your course lineup and content. Feel free to share any why's as well.
My daughter has been taking her herbalist certificate training at an accredited college recognized by both the BC and Federal government of Canada instead of from the college I got my training through and the main herbology textbook has been a nightmare of 1800's style medicine, written in 1800's style English, while having an original copyright date of 1969 and the latest update occurring in 2011. Occasionally, they share information that doesn't risk harming the patient and actually does the job. In a chapter on lung issues, the author of the textbook relates a common mainstream medical misdiagnosis, but misdiasnosed it themselves in their own family member, and treated the apparent symptoms rather than the cause for apparently, the better part of 9 years of this family member's affliction.
The condition's symptoms being addressed by the author, described what my son has had to deal with off and on since entering the work world, a condition mainstream medicine couldn't identify properly, but that a medical definition in an integrative medicine article would hit square on the head.
My daughter's studies have largely taught her what NOT to do when assessing and sharing recommendations for various ailments!
This article addresses the misdiagnosis she found, in the hopes others may not go as long thinking conditions are other than they are. We have very personal experience with the particular diagnosis in question, unfortunately. But herbal wholefood medicine for the win!
