All my animal friends are dead and gone—the heavy black outdoor cat who dropped bloody rabbit corpses in my shrine room as a gift.
The standard poodles who needed crazy long walks and lots of loving. The labradoodles, the German Shepards.
I loved them all, walked them all and fed them all.
Roasted yak and lamb bone broth with carrots, yams and squash over organic kibble.
All the world’s dispossessed should eat so well.
And now I feed the birds who come around.
I still cook for a select few, keeping my hand in the game.
Staying in touch with basic intelligence and goodness as I understand it in a world on fire.
Keep an open heart my friends, and stay forever young.

California has long been fire country. Historically lightening in the late summer would set alight the valley foothills and coast ranges on a regular basis. Long before firefighters and housing tracts fires burned for months until they were put out by fall rains. Fires would regularly cover massive areas a hundred times the size of Manhattan. This is what kept the country from becoming covered in brush and brambles. The human natives had a management program and cleared the understory setting fires on purpose to promote the deer browse, food for the animal species they hunted regularly. This management also helped benefit the ferns and cedars, the secondary understory species that need the shade of a primary inhabiter species to keep their more delicate seedlings from drying out in the long hot dry summers. The oak trees, are ready for fire too. Once aged they become mighty and ponderous they can take one hell of a scorching and remain practically unharmed. Even when the oak trees do catch on fire and it spreads upwards into their canopies, the crown burns the roots will re sprout. An oak tree can live for a thousand years and burn repeatedly in its lifetime. Even if a fire does become hot enough to kill the top of the tree the roots just replace the top portion, it only takes a few years for it to really get going again after a fire. The primary re inhibitor species the ponderosa pine, has adapted extra thickened bark to resists fire. If the younger trees are burned and die the old giants survive and use the heat of the fire to open their pinecones. Thousands of seeds fall on to the ground. The yellow pine also known as the ponderosa pine is a miracle of survival. A Ponderosa pine seed can sprout right out of the bare burned ground using the ash of the last fire as a fertilizer. This tiny miracle seed can sink its roots deep into the hardest of ground, It has an ability to extract water and nutrients at incredibly low concentrations. This newly singed soil is so poor and barren one would think it entirely sterile yet this seedling manages not only to get a foothold but to prosper. The deer the quail the rabbits the Mountain cougars and the bears are residents of this ecology. Rabbits, foxes, Bob cats. They are familiar with this cycle. Humans too have lived here for millennia using fire as a tool to shape the land for their benefit. Anyone building here or insuring buildings here should know that this is what happens in California.
“I used to have a cat, an old fighting tom, who would jump through the open window by my bed in the middle of the night and land on my chest. I’d half-awaken. He’d stick his skull under my nose and purr, stinking of urine and blood. Some nights he kneaded my bare chest with his front paws, powerfully, arching his back, as if sharpening his claws, or pummeling a mother for milk. And some mornings I’d wake in daylight to find my body covered with paw prints in blood; I looked as though I’d been painted with roses.”
“That it’s rough out there and chancy is no surprise. Every live thing is a survivor on a kind of extended emergency bivouac. But at the same time we are also created. In the Koran, Allah asks, ‘The heaven and the earth and all in between, thinkest thou I made them in jest?’ ”
“Cruelty is a mystery, and the waste of pain. But if we describe a world to compass these things, a world that is a long, brute game, then we bump against another mystery: the inrush of power and light, the canary that sings on the skull. Unless all ages and races of men have been deluded … there seems to be such a thing as beauty, a grace wholly gratuitous.”
“Perhaps the silliest aspect of this article is Table I, in which Tomljenovic and Shaw try to convince you that the inflammatory aspects of various autoimmune diseases share aspects with inflammation provoked by aluminum adjuvants. Of course, I’d be shocked if some autoimmune diseases didn’t share some aspects of inflammation provoked by aluminum adjuvants or even vaccines in general. Inflammation is a common process that can be provoked by many things. I could tell you that the cytokine profiles that Tomljenovic and Shaw point to as being so “similar” to cytokine profiles due to aluminum adjuvants are the same sorts of cytokine profiles that result from almost any sort of injury. If, for example, as a surgeon I cut open your abdomen in order to rearrange your anatomy for therapeutic intent, I bet I could find studies with cytokine profiles that I could tenuously compare to cytokine profiles due to vaccination with aluminum-containing vaccines. ”

“Nothing is more dangerous than stupid people who think they’re smart.” –Anonymous
“Perhaps the silliest aspect of this article is Table I,”
This is called an ad hominem logical fallacy.
“in which Tomljenovic and Shaw try to convince you that the inflammatory aspects of various autoimmune diseases share aspects with inflammation provoked by aluminum adjuvants.”
Go look up how scientists induce autoimmune diseases in animals in order to study them. Hint: it’s by injecting them with aluminum.
“Of course, I’d be shocked if some autoimmune diseases didn’t share some aspects of inflammation provoked by aluminum adjuvants or even vaccines in general.”
This is an admission.
“Inflammation is a common process that can be provoked by many things.”
So is death, cancer, heart disease, and now autoimmune diseases all of which can be caused/worsened by inflammation, but go on downplaying harmful disease states.
“I could tell you that the cytokine profiles that Tomljenovic and Shaw point to as being so “similar” to cytokine profiles due to aluminum adjuvants are the same sorts of cytokine profiles that result from almost any sort of injury. ”
So many words to admit aluminum and therefor vaccines causes systemic body wide injuries including in the brain of babies and children.
When we go to table 4 we see the aluminum exposure for the first 6 months of life.
In ug/kg they are
Birth: 73
2 months: 109-245
4 months: 51-171
6 months: 71-161
The FDA’s safe limit is less than 5 ug/kg. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18443135/
In table 9 it goes through Bradford Hill’s nine criteria for causation for aluminum causing autism.
8 of 9 criteria are met. The one that is not met is “Specificity” because autism has many “possible multifactorial etiologies”
For reference tobacco causing cancer meets the same 8 out of 9 Bradford Hill criteria.
“Finally, Tomlijenovic and Shaw misuse and abuse Bradford-Hill’s criteria. For example, they list criteria numbers one and two as being satisfied for aluminum and autism. Those are strength and consistency. The problem with these criteria is that they aren’t supposed to be evaluated by one study. They conclude their association is strong because they have a high Pearson correlation coefficient, but their study is an outlier. It’s not correct to say that the correlation is strong based on the totality of the evidence. Ditto for consistency, as, again, their study is an outlier, and, quite frankly, citing DeLong’s execrably embarrassing study as a study that found a correlation between vaccine uptake and autism does not help their case. They also try to convince readers that one of Bradford-Hill’s other criteria, such as biological rationale and coherence, have been met because of their attempt to make the tortuous vague resemblances between cytokine profiles they constructed seem like strong evidence for biological plausibility. Even worse, they try to use their confusion of correlation with causation as an argument that there is a temporal relationship between the purported cause and the effect. No, it’s not. In fact, they have not convincingly met any of Bradford-Hill’s criteria, much less eight out of nine.”
