Choices

There are those among us who move in quiet, noble integrity. I have been privileged to meet and interview many such unsung heroes: Tata Vitor Lopez, Grandmother Josephine of Sioux Ste. Marie, Brendan Myers, PhD, and Marcia Dixon, MSc pictured above.

When I present information that indicates our current fundamental systems are corrupt, crumbling, and need a massive overhaul, I do so with the intent to increase awareness and inspire action.

The first step towards collective change, in my humble opinion, is for each one of us to take responsibility for our thoughts and actions. Criticism is of little use if you don't offer an alternative. My rants against the big pharmas are balanced by my commitment to get back to basics and learn how to reacquaint myself with nature's medicine.

This is where Marcia Dixon comes in, as a certified medical herbalist.



I took a four lecture series with Marcia this Fall regarding the creation of oil infusions and salves using plants one can grow in the garden - or a balcony if you live in an apartment.



This is the end result: a calendula salve which I happened to make use of already on a small rash that appeared by my left ear ( too much ipod listening with earphones rubbing against skin ). It worked like a charm in two days the irritation subsided.



Thanks Marcia!
