nope don't have it. Had it for a year when I had a real job and didn't use it.

Shore hope nuthin bad happens to me! ;~}

One reason I have put a lot of time into learning about holistic and alternative modes of healing is to lessen my dependency on western medicine and especially on this fucked-up health care system...

Cold/flu? Essential oil inhalations and herbal tea.

Headache? Peppermint or rosemary essential oil, or aspirin.

Sore throat/upper respiratory infection? Gargle with tea tree oil solution. (Get possible strep infection checked out if it does not respond to tea tree; but it usually does).

Muscle pain? Essential oils in the bath, steam compresses, and maybe some ibuprofen if desperate.

Stomach bug? Herbal infusions and grated raw organic apples.

Yeast infection? tea tree or lavender oil clears it up almost immediately.

Menstrual pain? Raspberry leaf tea and cut out the salt and sugar for a bit.

Now, if I get cancer or something I'm in trouble...
