Mushrooms have made the scene in everything from mushroom-enhanced coffees, caffeine alternatives, and smoothie add-ins for dietary and therapeutic uses. That all said, with all the good that I speak about, we also need mindfulness to certain considerations...

I do have a personal request! If you think this could resonate for someone you know and love, please share -- small channels can get lost in the soup, so grassroots support is vital these days... I cannot tell you how many times even my closest connections didn't know I've had this channel for over 16 years! Oodles of thanks, My Friends!

This article also mentions an organic brand — which affirms the need to go beyond “blind trust” and go the mile to VERIFY. Oh, yes.. I bang on about sourcing — and it is decidedly NOT just to be salesy! I deeply have your best interest at heart with my intentions to empower you with KNOWLEDGE. Fancy packaging and sparkly, convincing adverts do not guarantee quality. NOTE: USDA organic requirements have been watered down over time. Retail is allowed up to 30% non-organic ingredients to use the word ‘organic’ in their branding and labels. Also, third party paid inspection to certify organic for internationally-sourced plants means we don’t truly know how they are grown - and some growers in certain countries irrigate with raw sewage. Yes, SEWAGE containing excreted medications and toxins. THIS is why I pour over plant sourcing when crafting concentrates — because this effectively draws EVERYTHING medicinal from plant materials, and also any potential residues. Keep in-mind that spices are high in minerals, and this often means effective binding to heavy metals in soil. THIS is why I painstakingly make every effort to verify for my people. Never take anything for granted with retail labels. Thank you for joining me along the way! Aiming for tiny video bits soon… what interests you?
