  • Psyllium husks (metamucil) is good for mucilage. I can’t recommend specific herbs because I don’t know your body and specific contraindications. For example, comfrey root makes plenty of mucilage, but has it’s own risks. I’m willing to take certain risks with myself, not recommend them to you.

    You may find mint teas comforting. You may also consider investing in a solid herbal/plant medicine book. Nexium has serious side effects too but the medical association members have zero problems writing prescriptions for it. So perhaps snake oil is in the eye of the beholder.

  • Ahhhhh! That’s terrible, I’ve been there. Go really easy on animal fats, I’m not sure about olive oil, peanut butter, and the like, it’s been a decades since I had to deal with it. I’d definitely avoid hydrogenated vegetable oils and margarine. Also, they probably should have given you an antibiotic, but that wasn’t known when I went through it.

    Good luck, comrade! It will suck for six months or a year, but with proper choices in what you send down your gullet, full healing is possible!






  • I got very emotional, watching this video, starting with her currency exchange. It makes me very sad to know why the devaluation is happening, and I thought of Zimbabwe and had uneasy suspicion about that.

    I saw how friendly and welcoming the people are, and wonder if the reception would be understandably different to USians. I thought of some ASMR videos that were of country life somewhere on the Iran-Azeri border I used to very much enjoy, but haven’t seen in some time (mainly because I don’t log into YT anymore and have forgotten the channel name).

    I wondered if there are no Nike or Adidas because of the trade situation, and wondered if the quality of local made clothing is better; and wondered at all the sewing machines.

    I audibly gasped at the beauty of the mosque, with the mirror and color tiles.

    Throughout, I felt extremely sorrowful for how much maligned this beautiful state is, and chopped some onions knowing the precarious situation for them and that is my state’s fault.

    Thank you for sharing this.
