This summer i took my health into my own hands. And with these hands make my own medicine, work the rows between my vegetables, nourish and tend the food that in return nourishes me back to health. I am empowered. In so doing i am no longer being ruled by the medias' "intelligent" sabotage, i am opting out of a no longer working medical system. I am no longer part of a population that has been dumbed down by glossy magazine ads and slick media presentations or the lies perpetuated by the government, FDA and pharma/chema companies.
Everything in my healing protocol is an act of subversion. Something as
simple as my morning jar of nettle infusion, a liver flush and coffee
enema, the four gallons of kombucha blissfully brewing on top of my
fridge, the kim chi, and sauerkraut, chopped up and fermented, bursting
with vitamins, a new batch of kefir grains, an ion cleanse foot bath.
All are subversive, because i do them myself, for myself, without the
support or permission of the medical industrial complex.
Today more than ever, these simple acts of survival are perpetuating
the use of radical knowledge, subversion, frugality and creative
expression. There is a satisfaction from crafting my own medicine, from
growing my own food whether it's sprouts on the kitchen counter or food
in my backyard garden. There is a feeling of empowerment that can be
used to promote a collective awareness against the tactics used by
modern mega corporations. There is deep pleasure in going against the
political grain, of following the beat of my own heart instead of the
beat of an institution that is failing us.
We have a right to time honored simple healing. A right constantly under assault against indigenous people all over the world. An assault that takes place in this country against any practicing doctor or healer who dares speak out against those in power. Good health isn't just for the rich or those lucky enough to have insurance. It's for everyone. When we take our health back into our own two hands, where it belongs, we take back a part of the earth. And as we heal, so heals the earth.
