Today marks the one year anniversary of the EF4 tornado that devastated 40 miles of south central Massachusetts and which came very near our home.
We are marking the day quietly, solemnly.
We burned sage in the garden to begin to bring healing and to hope all beings are brought into peace and balance with less suffering.
I wish you and your families a bright and joyful summer solstice today!
Take a moment to frolic in the sun and to smell the flowers!
This is an update from my post on Elderberry Elixir and Swine Flu.
As I am a scientist with some experience in genomics, I follow the evolution of the H1N1 virus. I do this because changes in the genetics of this novel flu are part of my risk equation with respect to vaccination. When I wrote this informative post on the use of Elderberry Elixir as a prophylaxis (Elderberry Elixir and Swine Flu) against all viral syndromes in the winter season here in the North East and in particular against H1N1 I felt that the genetic and phenotypic profiles were of a relatively mild though fast spreading flu.
