Day 26 Ohio, US — NFD
Day 25 —- NFD (only 11 months til Christmas!)
The NFD’s have gone well. This last week saw increasing malaise that’s usually indicative of something hitting my immune system, but it was too generalized to figure out what was causing it. Until this morning. I have been taking a new herb recommended by my acupuncturist at breakfast and today afterwards I had a “hair-raising” allergic reaction. Literally the hairs all over my body “raised” up and stood at right angles to my skin. That was accompanied by a general over-all itchiness. Since the rest of the breakfast items have been used for a long time with no reaction,that points to the herb as the culprit. I’ll stop the herb for a few days and see what happens.
@suki2 Vegetarian eating has been with me for more than twenty years, although I’ve stayed an ovo-lacto vegetarian and not gone completely over to veganism. For one thing the science on the bioavailability of some vitamins from pure plant sources seems to indicate (at least to me) that some animal products are a necessary part of a healthy diet. (I know that there’s a fair amount of controversy on this point.) For another thing, I like honey too much to give it up completely and also it seems tricky to me to give up leather shoes, what with the snow in the winter and the rain and slushy, muddy weather in the spring in this part of the world.
Here’s a start to the Day 27 pocket list:
