Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

"That Lemon Lime & Ginger Ambrosia"

"That Ambrosia" is a drink that was created for those on the Journey. I felt that we were in need of something to replace the unhealthy sugar drinks that we are consuming. "That Ambrosia" is a live beverage that helps you with gut health. It provides healthy yeast and bacteria that are involved in an alchemical process of fermentation. They transform the ingredients of raw unpasturized honey, and green tea into an elixir that is tasty as well as good for you.
I decided to begin experimenting with other herbs to enhance the healing properties that may already be in this drink (read my last post about "That Ambrosia"). Before we go into the lemon, lime, and ginger, let's discuss the gut and some of the issues that may arise from an unhealthy gut. Then we can look at the first combination I added to my line of elixirs. The gut or as it is also none the digestive system is composed of the mouth, esophagus, throat, stomach, pancreas, gall bladder, colon/anus, liver, and the intestine. It is much bigger than just the stomach, and it should also be pointed out that these organs are teaming with bacteria and yeast. It has been said that the human being is actually more bacteria and yeast than human. the fact is that we have 10x more bacteria cells than human cells. These is why I created a drink that can help you bring your body back into balance by introducing health bacteria and yeast into your system. many of us have compromised ourselves by taking multiple antibiotics throughout our lives, not knowing that we were unleashing  a blast that is equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb over a city. Antibiotics kill all bacteria they come in contact it doesn't distinguish between the good ones and the bad ones. This has left us out of balance and this is what I am seeing in my community. Many of the ailments that people around me are suffering have been linked to an unhealthy gut. Please check this list out and see if any of your ailments or family members ailments make the list:

Obesity
Diabetes
Depression
Fatigue
Arthritis
Skin conditions
Acid Reflux
Constipation
Diarrhea
Frequent Infections
Poor Memory & Concentration
ADD or ADHD
many auto immune diseases including but not limited to:
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Crohns 
Ulcerative Colitis 

Now lets talk about when we add fermentation, raw unpasturized honey, green tea, ginger, lemon, and lime. In my previous article we spoke about the first 3, now on to the "Justice League" of gut health (I might name this mixture that)
All three of these would be powerful enough to do solo drinks but I figured we needed to pile it on, plus these three work well together. Lemon and lime are very similar, they both bring vitamin C into the game which helps to get your immune system fired up, but between them they have been said to aid in digestion, they both help clean the system, they help clear up skin ailments, and help to get rid of unneeded pounds. Because they help clean out the system they are given credit for aiding with many of the ailments above. They are the "Wonder Woman & Superman" of this health Justice League. The "Batman" is the ginger. the ginger also helps with digestion, but the reason that I added it to this combination is because ginger is known for helping speed up the blood flow, and cause what ever you are using with it work in the body faster. This is why you sometimes begin to sweat when you eat ginger. This also is how it helps to clean out the body.
So drink up "That Justice League Ambrosia" ( I like that). Nuff said

a hunid years
peace
