I am using glass for almost everything related to storage. Also found non plastic plant-based freezer bags.

Study Links Microplastics in Arterial Plaque to Fourfold Increase in Stroke.

Human brain tissue contains far higher concentrations of microplastics than liver or kidney tissue, and researchers found the burden increased sharply between 2016 and 2024.

Many people are asking whether essential oils have been studied against Cryptosporidium. The answer is yes—but it's important to understand where the evidence currently stands.

In laboratory and other preclinical research, several essential oils have demonstrated activity against Cryptosporidium. Among the most promising are oregano, thyme, clove, cinnamon, peppermint, and garlic, with compounds such as carvacrol, thymol, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, myrcene, and menthol showing the greatest activity.

Researchers have observed several interesting mechanisms:
• Disrupting the parasite's highly resilient outer oocyst wall.
• Reducing its ability to invade intestinal cells.
• Limiting intracellular growth.
• Supporting recovery of the intestinal lining by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in preclinical models.

If these findings ultimately translate to humans, delayed-release or pH-dependent capsules would theoretically be one of the more rational delivery approaches for these EOs. Rather than releasing the oil in the stomach, these capsules can help carry the essential oil farther into the intestinal tract, where Cryptosporidium primarily infects the gut. That said, this remains a theoretical application based on the biology of the infection and the available preclinical evidence—not something that has been demonstrated in human clinical trials.

More research, including human clinical research, is necessary to determine the amounts and how best to use these oils against Cryptosporidium.

This is edifying to my inner being.

Psalms 139:5-14
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

We never know what someone is carrying.

That moment when someone finally breaks down over something that seems so small.
The spilled coffee. The unanswered text. The slightly wrong tone in someone's voice.
And everyone around them thinks: that was an overreaction.

What happened is that everything they swallowed was living somewhere.

Every "I'm fine" that wasn't fine. Every hurt they minimized. Every moment they held it together because there was no space not to.

Suppressed emotional experiences accumulate in the mind, building pressure beneath the surface. What looks like a breakdown over something small is the weight of everything that came before it finally finding a way out.

It deserves compassion. Every time.

If this is someone you love, this one's for them. ❤️‍🩹

The next frontier in medicine isn’t another drug.

It’s a radical shift in how we view the body, the brain, and disease itself.

Depression is often rooted in systemic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, trauma, or disrupted circadian rhythms. ADHD may be tied to neuroinflammation, poor blood sugar control, or nutritional gaps like low magnesium, zinc, or omega-3s. And heart disease? It’s largely a food-borne illness, driven by a diet of ultra-processed, inflammatory, nutrient-poor calories.

There is no single root cause. But there are root causes.
And they are almost always connected by lifestyle, environment, and systems-level dysfunction.

Medications have their place… But they were never designed to reverse chronic disease. They manage symptoms, often while the underlying dysfunction worsens.

If we want to reverse the chronic disease epidemic, mental and physical, we need to stop asking what drug treats this and start asking why the body lost balance in the first place.

The answer is in how we eat, move, sleep, connect, and live. It’s in our soil, our food system, our communities, our kitchens.

The next revolution in medicine will come not from the lab but from returning to the root.
