Is there something missing in the world of medicine?...Some other way of knowing that sees individual health as inseparable from the inner and outer landscapes in which we were born?
This is beautiful, again. I love hearing of all the connections in your human and non-human community. We are nothing but our relationship with everything else.
I went and saw our 70 year old conventional Gastro doctor the other day and he was telling us how the number of people he’s seeing with cancers and other diseases has increased over the years, his patients are getting younger and younger. He said he has a hunch that it’s tied to the food we are now eating here in the Philippines. I refrained from jumping over his table and slapping him around the face and yelling of course it is, of course it is!! Instead I told him about my experience with trying Helminthic therapy last year. He eyed me warily, yes of course he’s heard of helminths, he’s a Gastro, but as a therapy?? I emailed him some links and hope he has a read and maybe begins to fall down the rabbit hole of the strong ties between human health and soil health. We can’t have healthy humans without a healthy planet.
Thanks so much for sharing your book like this, it’s fantastic.
I do miss those times, but now I get to be more IN my community here (less as a provider and more as a fellow person--which many people want to keep separate). And our international community has taken all of that to a new level, though less embodied, still deeply meaningful.

Thank you so much, Leon. It's good to hear from you, and yes, I often feel the same frustration!
I love hearing about the myriad connections you created with your acupuncture patients; connections meeting so many different kinds of needs.
