"The shadow side of personal conviction is wilfulness, pride in our thoughts. As good as it is to advocate ones own opinion without reservation, from another point of view, it is necessary to assert the ideas of ones fellow human beings as entirely as well. And how little does this fit the character of those who hold fast to their conviction! They often show intolerance in their feeling and thinking, which makes it impossible for them to engage in the opinions of others.

It's rosehip season . Brightly colored and high in vitamin C and antioxidants, rosehips are a good winter staple. They can be eaten fresh, stirred into swee...t and savory sauces, or dried for cold-season teas and immune elixirs. . If you have Rosa rugosa (pictured here) in your garden, or live where it grows wild, you'll be treated to the largest, juiciest hips around. However, any rosehips (from unsprayed plants) can be used for food and medicine. .

Bone broth is rich in the amino acid glycine, which protects us from the harmful effects of glyphosate. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, actually m...imics glycine, blocking its action. Its an essential amino acid used for protein production, so its role in building healthy bodies cant be underestimated. Incorporating bone broth daily in our diet is something we do and something I have recommended to patients for years. Bone broth is not only protective, its easy and delicious! #bonebroth #wapf #glyphosate #stockup
