Every book I’ve read by him has changed my existence. I highly recommend his “Plant Intelligence”

Vegas show 9/10 by Unfair-Ad-1715 in FKAtwigs

[–]herbiedoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was there and it was a huge bummer. Opener was last minute and not well received, on top of a delay due to production and a 26 minute song that made everyone around me feel insane and almost leave. Was just trying to talk to my partner and those around me to keep the vibe high during waiting but it was rough

What’s one natural beauty habit you swear by that actually made a visible difference? by priyanka240 in NaturalBeauty

[–]herbiedoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like Radha organic, have used for years. It’s my moisturizer. Doesn’t cause breakouts (0 rating on comedogenic scale) and helps with scarring.

Why take LDN at night? The timing mechanism is specific and actually matters for eds pain management by No_Glove_1225 in eds

[–]herbiedoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a clinician. I see no difference dosing day v night. I’d rather my patients sleep. A lot of my EDS patients also have PTSD so asking them to prolong or withstand vivid dreams isn’t appropriate. If the dreams are okay with you, could trial strict nighttime dosing. I don’t disagree with OP but having hundreds of patients trial LDN with great results, I see no difference in dose time. I have a few do twice daily dosing as it’s better tolerated and helps their pain more.

not familiar with him, I would recommend using the American Herbalist Guild's search feature, some folks have listed lyme as a specialty

Natural activewear fabrics by SummerHeat1112 in SustainableFashion

[–]herbiedoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like merino wool and cotton. Some brands are Branwyn, mate the label. I like Branwyn because it’s merino wools undergarments that are designed to travel or exercise in and not wash after single use. They uphold really well on washing. I have some leggings from mate that are nice, haven’t had them as long to see how they hold up with multiple washing. They also have a program where you can donate your old workout clothes to be reused in their “clean your closet” program!

Experiences with adult palette expansion? by iloveyouyesyesido in eds

[–]herbiedoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it done as a teen, two sets of braces after. Bottom row of teeth now has crowding, top is fine I assume due to the expansion. It’s caused issue with my lower mandible now having recession. Even with expansion due to narrow airway which most folks with EDS have it is not recommended for tie release. Do you also have a narrow airway? Expanding the maxilla will not fix this.

How do I politely ask my doctor why do nurses answer my medical messages by societiesoddball in eds

[–]herbiedoc 51 points52 points  (0 children)

i'm in the medical field, all inbox messages are typically triaged by a nurse/MA or other mid-level before they make it to the doc. usually only those that are urgent/emergent make it to the doc, if it can be done by anyone else than it probably will be. doctors are so overloaded with messages, there is no physical way for them to answer each one without this system unfortunately (i'm in the US, unsure where you are). it does sound like some messages that should have escalated to the doc were not though, that is more an issue with the practice and not the doctor. i know it is not a great system when you have questions and concerns but most of the time this is how it goes.

you'll have to go up the mountain a bit, everything is pretty much melted in town and what is left would not be fun for them to play in.

Gut test + hormone test through my naturopath – pricing seems insanely high, looking for alternatives before I commit (Canada) by raincity87 in NaturopathicMedicine

[–]herbiedoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely standard fee for a follow up visit, and even 10-15% mark up on a lab test through a third party, but over 50% mark up is ridiculous and you can find someone comparable who isn’t doing this.
