I know you've helped me a lot, and my son. He didn't make it alas, but all the medical products that were put into his body made living very difficult for him. They snuck in a flu shot against our written and expressed wishes a few years ago, and on top of everything else, and he simply never recovered from it.

I am cultivating a lot of medicinal herbs so that, if we are again confined to our homes (which I will not do), I'll have ready access to a bunch of good things: rosehips and petals, comfrey, feverfew, dandelion, calendula, solomon's seal, cleavers, lavender -these are the ones I can think of right now, I know there are several more out there.

I think of them as boy kings, running people in the streets down with their carriages, thinking that is their god given right to do.
