We have developed a robust medicinal kitchen to help people get off sugar and stabilize their preferred way of eating for complete physical health.
It's the only way I can stay away from sugar, for this reason:
If I am malnourished, some of my microbes say they want to live even if I'm going to die.
So if I cannot get other food reliably enough... they make my body eat sugar without my consent.
When we are fed well and cared for in community, we don't need refined sugars at all.
We get the sugars we need already -- without this refined thing that unbalances everything.
Similar dynamics apply to other food components that people find themselves eating uncontrollably.
When people have different conditions at hand, it can be a different conversation -- and everybody thinks that they can get away with having a little bit.
But each time we discuss more extensively, we find out that we cannot even have a little bit.
As it turns out over and over, we've been deluding ourselves because we're trying to solve the problem while isolated -- rather than being in direct support of one another as we would be if we weren't separated by so much out-of-balance capitalist stuff.
This base medicinal kitchen prototype has common, accessible, modular adjustments for people's different bodies, different experiences, and different needs.
We bring it to different physical kitchens in welcoming locations, and adapt it to the needs of the people there.
Making menu plans and figuring out how to travel with it; it needs to be a functional medicinal kitchen while on the road.
In the meantime, it is very functional in any individual location.
If someone is part of community efforts to make sure all of us are fed well, their body does not deviate towards refined components that cause microbial commensal overgrowth / imbalance.
This problem has been framed as addiction or personal weakness, which is bullshit.
People need to be fed in safe communities. Period.

People who want to help one another... are *kept from* helping one another... by mechanisms that we have been taught would make our lives good and strong.
Do your job, make money, and it will be okay.
Unfortunately, the ways we are told to do our jobs and make money do not result in us being okay — unless we already had enough support to get us through the hard parts.
If we don't have enough support to get us through the hard parts, the hard parts may sink us (and others may have been led to believe we deserve it, and think no more of it).
Many people have this conundrum currently.
We resolve the conundrum by prioritizing safe communities where people look out for one another, care for one another, and work together to solve problems more effectively.
If we haven't recognized those priorities first, we might wonder why things keep going wrong.

' I have not found a single professional as regards dating, sexuality, or intimacy who will talk with us about sex trafficking.
Almost every attempt I have made, especially with professionals in Austin Texas, has resulted in blocked contact or no response despite profound efforts over long periods of time.
What's up?
Would anyone like to say? I don't want to speculate.
Holy cow, necessary conversation.
.
How on Earth does any survivor of sex trafficking ever alert their community to the danger?
It appears that it never happens, no one has planned for it, and no one wants to.
My response to this is Are you kidding? Just at the moment.
What exactly am I missing?
.
You, too. What are you missing?
Will anyone on Facebook see or respond to this post?

XVII Stars ~ Spider Woman (Reversed)
Hopi Goddess of Thought and Creation
Small things hold the Earth to Heaven.
In the high desert of the American Southwest, Spider Woman is revered as the creator of the world and benefactor of her people. In the mesas of the Hopi, her name is Kokyangwuti (pronounced similar to koh-kyang-woo-tee). For the Pueblo, she is S’ts’tsi’naku (tse-che-nako). She is called Thinking Woman, Old Spider Woman, and Grandmother Spider. Although she is ancient, her power of renewal is shown through her hair, dressed in the whorls of the squash blossom, the symbol of fertility. She draws light and life from darkness.
Spider Woman creates through her thought, through her vision, through the powers of clarity and consciousness, through the powers of a universe that sings inside her. She creates the stars by spinning a web, lacing it with the precious dew, and tossing it into the sky. She creates the stars to shine upon her people in the darkest night. She arranges the constellations to show her people there is meaning in creation. A single star in the sky may appear a small thing, but be significant in its relation to another, through the patterns they make together, and in the feelings the expanse of a starry night evokes.
In the darkness in the beginning of time, Spider Woman is told she is too small and weak to help, yet through intelligence, persistence, and belief, she travels to and returns safely from the Lake of Fire. She succeeds in bringing light and warmth into the world where more imposing animals try and fail. In another tale, she keeps the rising sky from leaving the world entirely by spinning web lines day and night to tie heaven to earth and preserve her creation. Spider Woman saves her people yet again after the destruction of the Third World, when she opens a path through the dome of heaven and leads her people into the Fourth World, the present earth, providing hope and direction through an inner light that shines even in utter darkness.
When Spider Woman appears:
The more you reach for what inspires you, the more your purpose becomes apparent. Saving grace is at hand.
Act in alignment with your beliefs. Believe in what you want to be. Even without a clear sense of direction or a specific goal, doing small good things will illuminate your next steps.
This is not the time to tackle a large problem head on. Use subtlety, humility, and thoughtfulness in your approach. Sense the pattern that exists behind the scenes.
You are part of a network, a luminous, radiant web that connects every living being. Feel your connections, to the ones you love and to your special places on the earth. See these connections shine with clear and flowing light, light that flows through and fills you. Invoke this web in your meditations to send healing lights and energies to those in need.
