Life beyond the Industrial Medical Complex 

For me, since I moved out of London UK over ten years ago to the mountains in central Italy, I do the following: 1- grow my food as much as possible, as I live alone....also I keep chickens and two goats for milk.. 2- forage as much as possible 3- ferment almost everything..two years ago I salt fermented 5 kilos of fresh sardines and I'm still eating them..i use them in my kimchi instead of the highly processed fish sauce, etc. 4- prayer. I'm a Sufi Muslim and I do pray every day, also fast when I can. But my days are constant humming of prayers, they keep me calm, serene and joyful, almost giggling from delight. 5- I self- taught myself about herbal medicine, so i make all my herbal oils, tinctures, vinegar..also harvest wild plants and sometimes save them by replanting them in a safe spot or in my plot, like dandelion, Mullen, plantain, etc. 6- I got bed very early and get up early without alarm. 7- I don't over heat my small house in winter...I just have a wood stove, no central heating, etc..and when it's snowing hard outside and freezing cold I just sit / sleep in front of it. Having a cold house made me very resilient to cold, I don't feel cold as I used to be when was living in London, despite it's much colder here! 7- as i don't have a washing machine or anything electrical in my house (the last thing to get rid off was the electricity..I have a tiny solar panel to charge my phone only, they can't charge anything else.)...so doing everything by hand taught me patience and I use it as a way to reflect and mediate. 8- exercises...this is a new thing but since I started to do just few minutes in the morning of high intensity exercises, I feel much stronger and better. 9- always searching for natural methods to heal myself..the last thing I started doing is using The Bates method to get rid of my prescription glasses...I'm very short sighted and sadly started wearing glasses over 35 years ago when I was 11 years old...and I'm delighted and proud to say that for the first time in 35 years I haven't worn my glass since February! I just can't believe it and my eyesight is getting better and better.. sadly lots of people are sceptical of my lifestyle here and just don't believe me about the benefits of fermented foods cetc...but seeing me without glasses for the first time was a bit of a shock and some started to believe me..😊 10- I'm trying to create a community of like-minded people. ...it's very very hard but I'm still hopeful...though I'm fine with the love I get from my animals, my family of four-legged and two-legged creatures...peace, love and healing to all. Love you guys and I wish I live near you.🥰💚😍

Blessings to you both. Herbs are my medicine along with what I call "quiet time". Many days in my home by myself, pottering around, sitting in the sun, reading, cooking yummy food, watching all the animals, listening to the universe, crafting, making and just being. Learning to be "enough" as a woman.

Water, prayer, gratitude, fasting, walking & sunshine

Thank you...this all resonates deeply ❤

Walking. It's a way to get out in the world and notice what is happening. It is beneficial for physical and mental fitness, requiring very little equipment with no monetary cost.

Great. Enjoyed this. Thank you.

Beautiful Wisdoms - Thank you for sharing

I employ many of the medicines you mention....as well as music and movement...which is a healthy expression of self and stress reducer. May we all stay wild!

Thank you for sharing, love from Sweden and India atm 🙏🏽❤️ I live in the city but try to connect to nature, the ocean or forest several days a week. If only walking at the cementary during the day barefoot. 1. Connection to nature. Its through you guys and many many docs I learned how the cruel capitalist economy use us humans, the animals and mother earth as a product to use and abuse. I try to get everything organic and local (if possible). Everything counts! For the Earth, animals, humans and our childrens future. Yes it cost more but what are the cost of industrialised toxic food put into our soil and bodies? 2. Organic food, household products, clothes, everything if possible. We try not to buy anything and if we have to then we look for secondhand. Everything is already made in countless amounts. People are throwing away or selling totally new products. Consumerism and lots of material belongs creates toxins and weight. We need time and space not things

Getting back to tribal and back to life God intended for us is the only road forward for our future and for our children!

Great video, thank you. Here are the things that keeps me away from medication....Earthing, meditation, vegan/keto , me time , enjoying nature, no TV ✌

So much of these natural ways of behaviour and living have come to me by instinct since my teens (I'm now 58). It certainly was not at all part of my suburban upbringing but thankfully I seem to have been born with, and maintained good natual instincts as to what is best for my body & soul. The way our ancestors all around the world lived for a thousand years or more. I am currently a permanent housesitter so always on the move into very different situations (no car) but I can still find ways to live as naturally & healthily as possible with very little money. All this is so important to bring back to future generations, thank you guys for all your work to that end 🙏

Reading aloud and singing!

Fabulous, thank you for sharing ya view into your medicinal cabinet with its wilder, simpler rhythm and flow.

Wonderful video guys and great tips. Eating foods that are good for our but microbiome are so important. I'm really looking forward to switching out shop bought cows milk to our own raw goats milk in the next month or two. I feel like health wise it's going to be a huge advantage as coeliac's often become dairy intolerant. I'm hoping that having more easily digestable raw goats milk will help prevent that. We could do with widening the range of fermented foods we eat, and do with eating more bitter herbs. I confess I'm an utter wuss when it comes to cold bathing, though we have a beautiful creek with the most perfect spot for it. Perhaps of there was a sauna next to it I could be a bit braver! 😂 Little Elise saw your video and said ‘Hi!’ xx

Much love to you all from Colorado , thank you for sharing 💜💜💜

Thank you for sharing your own medicine! I love your videos!! Love from Switzerland!

Love your focus on wellbeing.

Thank you for this beauty. After our site visit Wednesday I looked at the ground I occupy and how much of the paths are covered in 'brought in rocks'. My animals don't like it (they avoid the paths). My (usually tough) bare feet don't like it - there's something in that. Certainly it still 'grounds' but not the experience of your lush surrounds. So tomorrow I'm moving all the stones into the gully as part of the erosion project. But I will wear my hard shoes for 'working' thanks Woody, as I'm not careful enough yet to avoid punctures (haha).

Thank you for this video! I would like to ask, how do you manage your plunging bath in regards of water. Are you changing it frequently, having it covered or in shady place?

How do you all feel about nudism? As medicine

Where do you guys live ?
