I want to share my recently success story with treating myself with medicinal herbs and mushrooms. A few weeks ago I developed a very painful kidney infection in both kidneys. This is a serious medical situation for anyone, and especially for me as a Type I diabetic. Through a combination of anti-bacterial mushrooms (Turkey Tail and Reishi) and kidney-strengthening herbs (dandilion, parsley root, ginger root, devil's claw) along with acupuncture, I completely cured my kidney infection in a few days. Without hospitals, antibiotics, or health insurance! I know my body is in such better shape than it would have been if I had let antibiotics reak havoc on my digestive flora. The best part is-- most of the herbs and mushrooms I wildcrafted from the woods around my house and from my garden. The others were readily available in capsules and tinctures. The resources that taught me what to do were: MycoMedicinals by Paul Stamets, a book on herbal medicine by Michael Tierra, and the help of Ed and Jean Layton (local acupuncture and naturopath husband-and-wife team). I hope you are encouraged by this news; I know that I am!</div>

Does anyone have a gathering space that can hold 15-30 folks that could be an option for future sharing- learning Earth-Garden Medicine Circles during the colder months?<br/>
OK to let me know on my TW comment page at: <a href="http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/HeatherK" target="_blank">http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/HeatherK</a><br/>
Having a garden & forest nearby to learn in is also a plus.<br/>
Summer months will allow outdoor times in the gardens & forests!<br/>
