I used to take multiple meds for asthma, migraine, and menopausal issues; I now take NO meds unless for a serious illness my "natural remedies" aren't helping with (like the acute bronchitis I caught this pass holiday season). I eat organic as much as I can but sometimes I have to take chances, like when I eat at my relatives' or at a restaurant (but I tend to favor better ones that feature local produce). Sometimes I do have a reaction to something and at those times I make kitchari or fast on broth and perhaps take probiotics until the pain passes....

This would also hold true for plants; a poorly raised plant (mono cropped, doused with herbicides and pesticides, grown in poor soil) yields poor nutrition. Properly raised medicinal herbs are also sung (chanted) to and "worshipped", planted at the right moon phase and harvested at the right moon phase for maximum benefit to us and least harm to these sensitive and sentient life forms. Many tribal societies recognized the life energy of plant, animal, and mineral - calling on their spirits to guide them, recognizing their sacrifice in supporting our lives. As we work together to eliminate the "factory farming" of animals we should also work together to eliminate the "factory farming" of plants and the wholesale destruction of our remaining wildlands in search of minerals, oil, and other things we exploit for profit.
We can't change our bad habits overnight but those who have made significant changes show us ways we can reduce our negative impacts on our world. We MUST change and more quickly, as we are destroying our home and ourselves with it.
OM Namah Shivaya!

I don't "need" a guru to worship, but the role of a true guru is to light the way out of darkness for the seeker, not to lead the seeker by the nose. Pattabhi Jois lit a bright candle, while JF took his seekers for a grand ride but he didn't grab any noses...

May John learn what he needs to learn. May those who choose to stay part of his group keep their eyes open.
