Preach! I have said countless times that we need to go for the cure rather than simply address a symptom. It's sometimes difficult to know the difference, especially at first, and yes, breaking away from the mindset that "I need to take something," is now considered rafical since our society is so caught uo "needing to take something." Rip off yhe bandaid and go for the cure.
Have been digging for rootcause for years. Its really difficult to find🙈🙈 all the test are very expensive and impossible to buy when you dont have the money. Then we have to use the old ways, try, testing and hoping for results 🙏
Check your vitamin d levels. Anything under 40 will cause problems. Iodine defiency, drs won't tell you that, but will diagnose you with thyroid problems. Heart problems, magnesium deficiency. I can go on.. we are what we eat . Our soil is depleted so we have to supplement. Our sun is blocked. Vitamin d is so important.
D vit is good around 80 last test, take drops. Iodine test on my self seemd good, take magnesium spray every day. Use a lot of different herbs in salves, cream, tincture, tea, infusions, in food.
@@monsterjamizzythegenius8189 everything is within the "normal". Obviously my body dont work optimal on "normal'. Several autoimmuns and lost several internal organs. 1/2 pancreas, gallbladder, intestines. Brainfog and fatigue and skindeseas. Something have bin a lot better over the years, but now it seems stuck somehow.
I thought this was LITERALLY about herbal bandaids... like putting leaves on wounds as an alternative to bandaids (since they have PFAS!) 😂 this was great too!
❤️🔥✝️🕊 Thank You so much for all you bring to us. I can’t catch you most of the time-but, am so grateful for your videos and being able to see them. Thanking the ALMIGHTY CREATOR ❤️🔥✝️🕊 for bringing You into our lives, to be able to find Truths we don’t know and need. Hopefully, to be find information, to find solutions, to get on the Right track to be Healthier and able to enjoy this life a lot better than we’ve been 🙏🏼 You’re a Blessing ❤️ ❤️✝️❤️
Love this “rant”!! (Well I tend to love all your info and nuggets redirecting us to true healing !!) it hits hard and true. I get lost in the “what now” stage… I wouldn’t mind having a bit of your research and comprehension skills !
Question… where to go for testing? My daughter has severe mental health issues and of course Doctors just want to medicate. She has tried pretty much all of them and while she may feel better for awhile, she ends up feeling emotionless and zombie like. We have adjusted her diet, added some mushroom supplements and those things are minimally helping, but not enough. I want her to get all the testing she can, but I don’t know where to start. I feel so helpless as a mom. Please let me know what tests to look at and where to begin. I appreciate you immensely ❤
I order from all over it just depends on the type of testing. If you want to get a BIG look at her over all nutrient deficiencies I'd order the vibrant wellness whole blood nutrients panel, it's... expensive...BUT the most all in one comprehensive blood test I've come across especially one that's a test kit they ship to you. I'd also consider shopping around for an HTMA hair test which will be more affordable. If you do go forward with the blood test one stop all nutrients/vitamins for a few weeks before she does the test to make sure you don't get a false reading.
I'm very grateful to have found your channel because I'm trying to change my diet to so I don't have to take a couple of my medications and I know one of my things is that it is hereditary in my family so I'm going to talk to my doctor this week and figure out some things and listening to you today really helped me to understand that I really need to get to the root of the problem so thank you
I love your random videos. Thanks so much, April. I just made 3 tinctures these past couple months. It feels intimidating but it is really super easy. Waiting those 6 to 7 weeks bc of the proof. But I immediately saw my Saint Johns Wart tincture turn a beautiful red. Trying to be Brave bc you said I could do this. I have yet to try my witch hazel bug spray.🤞 Thank you Thank you!!! So much.
I have started looking into stuff that help heal and keep the gut healthy . I believe the gut plays a big part of our immune system, if we don't keep the gut healthy. I feel that I find myself out of sorts. So I been making and enjoy more fermented food and drinks.
I 100% agree, also that's not the same as a person using an herb to repress a symptom so much as a way to replace the missing gut bacteria that's been wiped out by chlorine, preservatives, & antibiotics 💚
Good morning April, Thank you so much for the real talk this morning; you are so right on with this discussion. I just got up and had coffee with you this morning. My L Gasseri is here this morning waiting on two other things to come to make the gut healing yogurt and I can't wait. Something to think about is when we get older like me in our 60s and 70s, some are younger it mostly comes with age this thinning skin. When this happens it is not only on the outside of our body it is on the inside too. All of our organs lay right next to our bowels Point being that there is leakage happening because of the thinning causing so many illnesses one being the UTI. I have been using slipper elm for years a wonderful herb. I use probiotics- prebiotics and make my own. I use marshmallow root and licorice root in a tea that helps a lot. My last CT showed two diverticulitis these can cause many problems the herbs and teas I take keep them under control. This is so much to put in typing but the point is that like you say everything starts in the gut and the intestines. Maybe one of the reasons I feel so good is my P53 gene is good and fighting to keep me healthy as well. My oncologist Doctor says concerning my CLL cancer six years now and still doing well with my white blood cell the group that was diagnosed with CLL in 2019 are all very sick with very high white blood cell counts of over 270,000 they do not take or do any herbs how sad that they just don't know anything about using herbs. My doctor doesn't like herbs and said it is my P53 gene. She said herbs don't help. In 2019 when I was diagnosed with CLL they told me my blood was so low that they did nothing for the CLL at that time but wanted to see me every 3 months hmm I said I will see you in a year. I never went back and had my own blood checked once a year by my naturopathic Doctor with my checkup. This year I decided to see an oncologist and right away she said they had a new pill that came out in 2019 ALL CLL patients were taking with low blood. I'm not taking it I do have to wonder if this is why all the CLL people are so sick and their blood is so damn high I looked into that pill and all the side effects it is horrible. What is that pill doing to the P53 gene. God Bless
April, you are so on point, my hubby in (Southern Ontario Canada) suffers from severe Hypotension, he can't stand on his own for more than a couple minutes, He also has Type 2 Diabetes, which we have under control via diet...he sees a Naturopath and also a mainstream doc... the mainstream doc chalks everything up to the diabetes, our ND is pretty much convinced that it is adrenals, we've had to jump through mainstream hoops just to get certain blood work because our ND can't request them. She wants hubby to see a hematologist, well, the mainstream doc won't send him to one. It's so frustrating that she is not aloud to request the tests that need to be done. I think if he wasn't taking the tinctures and supplements that she prescribes, he would not be doing as good as he is, BUT, we truly wish we could pinpoint an exact cause of the hypotension and get an actual diagnosis. In the past 4 going on 5 years he has gone from a vibrant active man to someone barely living life at 72. Sorry, I had to rant too. 🙁
@@sheisofthewoods Honestly, I'm not sure, I didn't have any idea what that test was so I just watched a video about it. I sent an email to her asking her and requesting it be done if it hadn't already. I just hope and pray we don't have to go through his Rockefeller doc to get it done. I really appreciate the reply April, especially when I was merely venting about this horrible and stressful issue we're both living with. ❤
Thank you. Drs don't exist here so I'm trying to figure out things on my own. I eliminated stuff from my diet and it helped, take some supplements and they seem to help at least for a while. I noticed something interesting this year, side effect maybe. I always react strongly to bug bites, have many scars on my legs from last years bug bites, itch for weeks, etc. This year 2 hours tops and the itch is gone, no scars, nothing. So something I'm doing is helping more than just what I'm trying to 'fix'. For now I'll continue what I'm doing, maybe it will continue to improve and I can eat 'normally' again.
I so appreciate your support. Thank you. I’ve been saying this for ever and I feel like a walking drugstore but at the same time until I can understand my herbs I feel like I need the BP pills, the fluid pill and all the other shit I’m on.
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you. I was wondering if you ever work with black seed or Nigella sativa. For the last few days, I've spent hours and hours reading studies on all that this seed can do, including some powerful results against multiple types of cancers. If you have experience working with this seemingly amazing herb, I would love it if you could do a segment on her. I'm not sure if it's best to capsulize seeds (ground up?) or to tincture or to use straight up with honey, make some sort of oil...which leads me to another question. In some of my books, it's recommended to sometimes make tinctures, sometimes make capsules and so on. I know that the extraction method matters and sometimes alcohol pulls out what is healthful, but does taking the herb straight up, let's say, in capsule form, help if the taste of the tincture is unbearable?!
Ok I just have to ask. Where -did you get the cool tea pot with the ceramic infuser 🙂 I also need to know where you start when looking for a root cause.
If you follow the pinned link (2nd link in comment) you'll find it on my "things I use Amazon list" & I'd get a deep look at my vitamins/minerals making sure to test everything including B12/B5/B1 (always overlooked), vitamin A, Vitamin C, Copper , + the other standard panels for vits/mineral.
Such a good lesson. I am looking for the root cause of my weight gain. About 40 lbs in 4 years since hitting menopause. Major emotional and mental stressors have been eliminated. I tried HRT but have gone off as I didn't experience any positive changes from them and it really does go against my natural health practices. I am also dealing with inflammation which led me to a food elimination diet based on a blood test I got with a naturopath. 2 months and still experiencing the same symptoms. Is there a direction you could point me in to look for the culprits? Thanks so much for any input
Have you had your testosterone levels checked? I'd also consider an HTMA hair test to see your mineral status and probably get a deep look at your nutrients.
❤ from central Texas QUESTION: from a reformed city slicker, now with a country heart The used plant material from tinctures: I can put in my compost pile and the alcohol will evaporate and no longer be flammavle.....right?
If you have ever had an ancestry type DNA test done, you can take that data, download the raw information and upload it to somewhere that is hippa compliant like self decode or sequencing.com They give an easy breakdown of what's happening in your genetics and you can also dig into it further if you want to look at specific things that might be a known issue in your culture or community.
OMG, YES finally someone said what I’ve been thinking. I have RSD. But the Dr’s will tell you they don’t know much about this. They just called it that . But from research I’ve found that yes it’s a nerve thing , and I take lions main it’s good for the B12 BUT and that’s a Big BUT… something happened in my brain 🧠. Okay let me give you a bit of what’s happened and if there’s any body out there that has this too please PLEASE 🙏 tell me. There’s not many in the whole USA that has it okay so please talk to me . I’ve had 4 back surgery’s #1 the Dr cut some nerves that he shouldn’t have. Just blowing it off as “ because of your back “ you now have nerve damage in my left leg “ lol “ yeah !! But now let’s move forward all the way to surgery #3 I’m doing good now, got all the hardware out of me because I’m one that my body doesn’t like that stuff. Doing good 👍, but now I fall in a little bitty hole and break my wrist in two places. And BOOM 💥 just like that I now have RSD. Because my brain 🧠 pretty much shut down and said nope I’m not fixing this. You wouldn’t believe how much crap I went through including blocker’s in my neck just to get the swelling to go down. Fast forward to surgery #4 I’m not supposed to have any surgeries at all because this crap can jump around in my body. Yes I tell the doctor but do they listen NO, so now I have RSD in my left leg. And for anyone that doesn’t know what this crap is. Let’s just say I would have a baby without any medicine at all every day instead of having this stuff. Yes it’s that bad … but to get to this point. Me taking B12 as much as I can, I can’t fix my brain 🧠 from the why and how and what it needs with just B12 . Some thing else happened to me that day. And I’m still trying to figure it out. I can’t just stop with the B12 . Any body got any ideals I so what to hear it . April I’m sorry I wrote a book on your utube but your so right about this. Keep looking my friends until you find your real problem. Much love ❤️ to you April.
Excellent reminder! Thanks! May I ask how you came to find out about these different genetic mutations your body carries? ❤ I just read your about me section on your apothecary sight. (Applause) Very well written! The honesty is palpable. I felt like I was in the room as the words flowed through you.
Heya! I'm a Pavee, we're the indigenous folks of Ireland (Google will show you lots of racism/false info about us just as an FYI)and I used my raw data from an ancestry test to upload to self decode/sequencing.com Then I looked at common genetic issues for my culture and cross checked my DNA (self decode let's you search your SNPs) then when I saw so sooooo many of the genetic mutations I decided to upload my info to sequencing.com for a deeper look. Then... I saved up for the suuuuper in-depth full genomic panel from sequencing for a real deep dive into my genes and I'm glad I did because my culture is pretty isolated so we pass on some big bad scary mutations.
@sheisofthewoods 🤔 wonder if I'm Pavee...... I'm part Irish. Both parents had red hair, me and my 3 sisters have red hair. Well, it's mostly blondish, but I've been taking copper chloride (I made it.) And it's starting to get a little more copper color.
Hi there! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question for yeah.. I have several things going on with my body for many reasons. I'd love to test my genes, is there one you've used or recommend?
This is a fabulous one! I know people who need to hear this. For example, I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. When I'm starting to have fatigue and brain fog, there are herbs I can and do use to help those symptoms, but it usually means I need to have my hormones adjust as well.
OMG this is my situation. I've been looking for the upstream cause for a while 😢 I just got told I have ebv, which makes me susceptible to all the things I keep getting sick with. Like PID And exhaustion, Right now , I'm on steady astragalus and noni which totally works for the chronic womb and bladder infections. My current functional doc, says this the upstream reason is why I wasn't able to process our heavy metals and parasite infections... Anyway this has been my freaking life for awhile now
Ebv feeds off of cortisol and by proxy attacks the thyroid to make itself lots of food by exhausting you. Have they checked your spit-based cortisol levels? Iodine load testing?
I typically shop around but everywell is a good option with relatively affordable kits & they do have sales on occasion. Let's get checked is good too.
I have not been to a Dr for years out of absolute frustration aka "you are fine on paper"... Is bloodwork a place to start? How do i begin digging in? I always chalk up my "symptoms" to being a burnt out mother.
You could get a comprehensive vitamin/mineral test to see what you're low in because I assure you it's not just from being a burnt out mom. You can even order self test kits these days so you don't have to try and convince a Dr to do their job 🙄
I'm on here hoping to find a video you may have done mentioning something to put on fire ant stings, top of my foot is angry...I watched your live show last night ❤ but the stings happened today
What if you have MS ? There’s no cure, but there are herbs to help . I could dig deeper but don’t think I would ever find a cure. Just looking for relief.
I have thin genital skin. Tender and Itches. Now my anal has a hemorrhoid. I'm just wondering I do have a sitz bath baking soda or boron or even Epsom salt I also even have hydrocodone cream. I'm wondering if anybody's ever asked you these things and what else could help.
@@kellyadler5742 I know this is a pharmaceutical but maybe a hormone cream might help you? Your description sounds a lot like what perimenopausal women experience. Good luck to you.
This is GREAT. However the digging deeper is so freakin DEEP.... how on earth does one even figure out what may be in the "System" that is the root cause? Ask for Spiritual Divine Guidance would be my go-to. However with so many things out there, how does one really know for sure of where to dig, what to look for, how to even know. The mainstream would say, "Well son, go to your Doctor so he can run a battery of tests". Fast forward to have done that before and only nothing found.... and lots of money spent. Gosh I think this has left me more confused.....
Yeah humans like to over complicate things, start here: Look at ALL of your nutrients/minerals and find what you're missing, look at what chemicals are in/on your food in/around your home. Start marking things off a list. It's almost always something small that snowballs into something big with a constant deficiency or exposure to something. From there, if nothing pans out, look at your genetics which if you already have done an ancestry type DNA test you have the data you need to upload to somewhere like self decode.
I did a genetic screening and when I saw I carried that mutation I did a vitamin A panel to see my levels and sure enough I had almost no vitamin A in my body. If you have ever taken an ancestry test you can use that raw data to upload to somewhere like self decode or sequencing.com and if you bring your own data it's pretty affordable.
@@deblubelski8040 If I was going to do a genetic screening I'd not specifically use an ancestry place. I'd do it through self decode or go all in an get the full genomic panel from sequencing.com (spendy AF but worth it).
Finding the cause would take a damn doctor that has Not been replaced and paid off. With the blaring frequencies our old dr. Said she could not speak on them or she'd be fired. The system is depopulating us. Good effing luck. This experience sucks.

Is there a direction you could point me in to look for the culprits? Thanks so much for any input
Have you had your testosterone levels checked? I'd also consider an HTMA hair test to see your mineral status and probably get a deep look at your nutrients.
We are currently using herbs and mushrooms to treat stage 4 cancer.
That's fine, there are always nuances.
I was watering my garden and missed your live. Bummer.
This wasn't a live. I just recorded it when the topic was burning a hole in my brain one day 🤣

QUESTION: from a reformed city slicker, now with a country heart
The used plant material from tinctures: I can put in my compost pile and the alcohol will evaporate and no longer be flammavle.....right?
Correct 💚
@@sheisofthewoods ty for confirmation! ❤️🙏
Great topic and info,
How do you find out about mutations and other blood issues?
If you have ever had an ancestry type DNA test done, you can take that data, download the raw information and upload it to somewhere that is hippa compliant like self decode or sequencing.com They give an easy breakdown of what's happening in your genetics and you can also dig into it further if you want to look at specific things that might be a known issue in your culture or community.
@@sheisofthewoods thank you!
April do you think an apricot kernel tincture would be as effective against the big C as eating the whole kernels?
OMG, YES finally someone said what I’ve been thinking.
I have RSD. But the Dr’s will tell you they don’t know much about this. They just called it that . But from research I’ve found that yes it’s a nerve thing , and I take lions main it’s good for the B12 BUT and that’s a Big BUT… something happened in my brain 🧠.
Okay let me give you a bit of what’s happened and if there’s any body out there that has this too please PLEASE 🙏 tell me. There’s not many in the whole USA that has it okay so please talk to me .
I’ve had 4 back surgery’s #1 the Dr cut some nerves that he shouldn’t have. Just blowing it off as “ because of your back “ you now have nerve damage in my left leg “ lol “ yeah !! But now let’s move forward all the way to surgery #3 I’m doing good now, got all the hardware out of me because I’m one that my body doesn’t like that stuff. Doing good 👍, but now I fall in a little bitty hole and break my wrist in two places. And BOOM 💥 just like that I now have RSD. Because my brain 🧠 pretty much shut down and said nope I’m not fixing this. You wouldn’t believe how much crap I went through including blocker’s in my neck just to get the swelling to go down. Fast forward to surgery #4 I’m not supposed to have any surgeries at all because this crap can jump around in my body. Yes I tell the doctor but do they listen NO, so now I have RSD in my left leg.
And for anyone that doesn’t know what this crap is. Let’s just say I would have a baby without any medicine at all every day instead of having this stuff. Yes it’s that bad … but to get to this point.
Me taking B12 as much as I can, I can’t fix my brain 🧠 from the why and how and what it needs with just B12 .
Some thing else happened to me that day. And I’m still trying to figure it out. I can’t just stop with the B12 .
Any body got any ideals I so what to hear it .
April I’m sorry I wrote a book on your utube but your so right about this.
Keep looking my friends until you find your real problem.
Much love ❤️ to you April.
Excellent reminder! Thanks! May I ask how you came to find out about these different genetic mutations your body carries? ❤ I just read your about me section on your apothecary sight. (Applause) Very well written! The honesty is palpable. I felt like I was in the room as the words flowed through you.
Heya! I'm a Pavee, we're the indigenous folks of Ireland (Google will show you lots of racism/false info about us just as an FYI)and I used my raw data from an ancestry test to upload to self decode/sequencing.com
Then I looked at common genetic issues for my culture and cross checked my DNA (self decode let's you search your SNPs) then when I saw so sooooo many of the genetic mutations I decided to upload my info to sequencing.com for a deeper look.
Then... I saved up for the suuuuper in-depth full genomic panel from sequencing for a real deep dive into my genes and I'm glad I did because my culture is pretty isolated so we pass on some big bad scary mutations.
@@sheisofthewoods Very good info to know. Thanks a bunch! Also, thanks for sharing your roots. 💜
@sheisofthewoods 🤔 wonder if I'm Pavee...... I'm part Irish. Both parents had red hair, me and my 3 sisters have red hair.
Well, it's mostly blondish, but I've been taking copper chloride (I made it.) And it's starting to get a little more copper color.
Good evening Beautiful!
Hi there! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question for yeah.. I have several things going on with my body for many reasons. I'd love to test my genes, is there one you've used or recommend?
This is a fabulous one! I know people who need to hear this. For example, I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. When I'm starting to have fatigue and brain fog, there are herbs I can and do use to help those symptoms, but it usually means I need to have my hormones adjust as well.
How do we get rid of heavy metals ?
How do we find out what our genetics may be predisposed to?
Would that be a Functional Medicine Doctors exam?
Nope, check out self decode ☺️
OMG this is my situation. I've been looking for the upstream cause for a while 😢 I just got told I have ebv, which makes me susceptible to all the things I keep getting sick with. Like PID And exhaustion, Right now , I'm on steady astragalus and noni which totally works for the chronic womb and bladder infections. My current functional doc, says this the upstream reason is why I wasn't able to process our heavy metals and parasite infections... Anyway this has been my freaking life for awhile now
Ebv feeds off of cortisol and by proxy attacks the thyroid to make itself lots of food by exhausting you. Have they checked your spit-based cortisol levels? Iodine load testing?
April, can you please recommend reliable at home testing kits for vitamins, hormones ect…. There’s so many out there . Thank you❤
I typically shop around but everywell is a good option with relatively affordable kits & they do have sales on occasion. Let's get checked is good too.
Thank you so very much!!
Healing is mostly if not all in the mind.
Unless it's a severe nutrient or mineral deficiency 😉
What to do with mold exposure when u can't get away from the exposure?
You need a really good micron level heppa filter and to be working with vitamin c/B12 which the mold rapidly depletes from the body.
@@sheisofthewoods Thankyou so much April. Appreciate you🩷
I have not been to a Dr for years out of absolute frustration aka "you are fine on paper"... Is bloodwork a place to start? How do i begin digging in? I always chalk up my "symptoms" to being a burnt out mother.
You could get a comprehensive vitamin/mineral test to see what you're low in because I assure you it's not just from being a burnt out mom. You can even order self test kits these days so you don't have to try and convince a Dr to do their job 🙄
@@sheisofthewoods Thank you 😘🤗🥰
I'm on here hoping to find a video you may have done mentioning something to put on fire ant stings, top of my foot is angry...I watched your live show last night ❤ but the stings happened today
Oatmeal paste made with chamomile tea as the liquid. Plantain leaf that grows in yards is good too.
You should be a doctor. I would move closer to have you as my PA lol
How to get to the root cause when your doctor only wants to prescribe you meds for every issue?
You can dig into your health without a Dr 💚
Detox deworm ❤
There’s a pill for every Ill, and a weed for every need, we just need to find it, Wise reminder
Such important information. Treat the person, not the symptom 🌟
What if you have MS ? There’s no cure, but there are herbs to help . I could dig deeper but don’t think I would ever find a cure. Just looking for relief.
Get the book called "could it be b12?' because a huge amount of folks with B12 deficiency are misdiagnosed with MS 💚
@@sheisofthewoods thanks!
i just figure i'm getting old - all pains are growing pains 😉
I have thin genital skin. Tender and Itches. Now my anal has a hemorrhoid. I'm just wondering I do have a sitz bath baking soda or boron or even Epsom salt I also even have hydrocodone cream. I'm wondering if anybody's ever asked you these things and what else could help.
@@kellyadler5742 I know this is a pharmaceutical but maybe a hormone cream might help you? Your description sounds a lot like what perimenopausal women experience. Good luck to you.
Have you try witch hazel on your hemorrhoid? Its soothing...
This is GREAT. However the digging deeper is so freakin DEEP.... how on earth does one even figure out what may be in the "System" that is the root cause? Ask for Spiritual Divine Guidance would be my go-to. However with so many things out there, how does one really know for sure of where to dig, what to look for, how to even know. The mainstream would say, "Well son, go to your Doctor so he can run a battery of tests". Fast forward to have done that before and only nothing found.... and lots of money spent. Gosh I think this has left me more confused.....
Yeah humans like to over complicate things, start here: Look at ALL of your nutrients/minerals and find what you're missing, look at what chemicals are in/on your food in/around your home. Start marking things off a list. It's almost always something small that snowballs into something big with a constant deficiency or exposure to something. From there, if nothing pans out, look at your genetics which if you already have done an ancestry type DNA test you have the data you need to upload to somewhere like self decode.
So did you do a genetic test to figure out about the vitamin a?
I did a genetic screening and when I saw I carried that mutation I did a vitamin A panel to see my levels and sure enough I had almost no vitamin A in my body. If you have ever taken an ancestry test you can use that raw data to upload to somewhere like self decode or sequencing.com and if you bring your own data it's pretty affordable.
Thank you April. I have thought of doing a genetic test through 23 and me.
@@deblubelski8040 If I was going to do a genetic screening I'd not specifically use an ancestry place. I'd do it through self decode or go all in an get the full genomic panel from sequencing.com (spendy AF but worth it).
WHAT HERBS 🌿 WORK AS A BETA-BLOCKER PLEASE
So how do you figure it all out? What is exactly wrong with you?
Supressing symptoms has been taught since industrial age .. Getting to the root cause instead, yes Great rant..
Finding the cause would take a damn doctor that has Not been replaced and paid off.
With the blaring frequencies our old dr. Said she could not speak on them or she'd be fired. The system is depopulating us. Good effing luck. This experience sucks.
You don't need a Dr to find your root cause, you are totally capable of beginning to learn about your own body and dig deep into reasoning ❤️
Bingo! 🍒🍒🍒🍒
👋 hi , I’ve got pain deep in left hip and leg. 🦵 and causing varicus veins what could it be? Had it 6 years much appreciate you thanks
