Two livestreams, one day! See you tonight!
Dr. John Catanzaro was a naturopathic physician in Bothell, WA when the state suspended him on claims he was misleading cancer patients. He owned the Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment where he was using what he called a "cancer vaccine" to help patients. The DOH alleged that Dr. Catanzaro neglected to tell some of his patients the treatment was experimental. I was a TV reporter in Seattle at the time, assigned to this story at night after his office had closed. We aired the DOH claims without a statement from Dr. Catanzaro and thereby smeared his practice. Later, I interviewed several of his patients who credited him with their lives, and were horrified the state required the destruction of their treatment. But in many ways it was too late, the damage was done.
Here’s how to never buy mulch again. Did you know that the crews who trim trees for power lines will often dump the mulched branches at your house for free? We drove by a crew on Friday and within a couple hours they were at our farm dumping an entire truckload of fresh mulch that we can use for our garden! Unintended benefits: free forage for the goats and a free playground for the human kids. Try it out next time you see these crews. Just pull over if it’s safe and ask them if they offer the service. Grab the foreman’s phone number to stay in touch for future jobs.
Lily got a beehive for Christmas from her grandparents and we spent the day after assembling it. We are fortunate to have had offers from several local bee experts to help begin our colony and teach us proper beekeeping. One potential challenge is that a couple years ago I was stung by a yellow jacket on the thumb and my hand blew up like a baseball bat. Two months later I was stung by another yellow jacket in the exact same spot. This time I got welts all over my body. I’ve been stung a bunch throughout my life with no issues but now I have to carry an epi pen with me everywhere. I guess we will see what happens with the new hive-venture. Honey here we come!
I find it interesting how we were all directed to be triggered. Over Bill Gates being a large "farm land" owner. And we all got concerned over moves involving food. And sure, there are some. Meanwhile, Beyond Meat is failing. The whole fake meat game is in financial peril.
The "farm land" is going to AI Data Centers. They just want hooks for power, water and resources to build and maintain them.
It's interesting how we're led to look one way, when the real plot is in a different direction.
Anyone make fermented carrot sticks? I've made them in the past and they didn't quite come out right. I seem to have good luck with sauerkraut but fermenting with brine (vs. just salting) has been more trial and error for me. Maybe I'm fermenting the carrots too long (2 weeks)? I want them to have a bite/slight crunch but also be sour. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I highly recommend reading this. It's way deeper than the headline implies. And already being used.
