My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Oran Kivity, son of the late Ruth Jordan who wrote her memoir Daughter of the Waves.   British acupuncturist and coach Oran Kivity trained in Europe, China, and Japan. He has been in continuous practice since 1987 and specializes in Japanese methods. In 2000, he was a founder member of Toyohari UK, the British branch of the Toyohari Association of Japan. In recent years, he developed the Ontake Method, which won awards from Harper's Bazaar Magazine in 2014 and Global Health Pharma in 2019 for the most innovative new healing method.   His books, Moxa in Motion and Hirata Zone Therapy received praise and recognition from acupuncture journals worldwide, including the Journal of Chinese Medicine, the European Journal of Oriental Medicine and North American Journal of Oriental Medicine.  He took on this project to republish his mother's memoir as a tribute to her and so younger generations of his family knew her story.   Oran lived and worked in Malaysia from 2005 till the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 when he moved to Taiwan. He now practices, writes, coaches and teaches from the southern port town of Kaohsiung, where he lives happily by a river, near a lake and close to the sea.   In her book book review, Carole stated: Reading Daughter of the Waves was a new experience for me. I had very little knowledge of Palestinian life before 1940. And, while I expected to read an autobiography, I found what I was experiencing was similar to sitting at the kitchen table with a neighbor over a cup of tea as she recalled memories of growing up in a seaside suburb of Haifa, called Bat Gelim, in pre-war Palestine. She didn't recite a chronological list, but rather highlights as she remembered them. It was obvious she had a love of adventure. From the Flying Camel to the cyclist from Palestine to London to raise money to build a Jewish sports stadium in Palestine, her humor was always part of the portrait of a child and a nation growing side-by-side. Her delight in the Palestine Orchestra conducted by Toscanini did not overshadow her memory of the Arab revolt to stop the Jewish immigration in 1936. And I will always remember her belief that no Arab woman is worth her bride price until she can cook eggplant in seven different ways. Her resolve to become a wizard with eggplants came from her mother. Each chapter could be a book. Read them over time or in one sitting.

Moxa is often seen as acupuncture's quieter sibling, and yet it has a rich history of igniting healing, longevity, and vitality. Its warmth goes beyond the physical—it has a profound effect on our physiology.In this conversation with Oran Kivity and Merlin Young, we delve into the often overlooked art and science of moxa. While its roots are in traditional East Asian medicine there is some interesting research that suggests it has a role in modern health interventions in terms of treating pain. Listen into this discussion as we explore the surprising science behind moxa's effectiveness, the idea and use of moxa as a people's medicine, its potential for addressing chronic conditions, and the role it can play in fostering community health.

In this episode, Riccardo sits down with two of the voices behind the Digital Twin Fun Club podcast, Henry Fenby-Taylor and Neil Thompson. The trio speaks accuracy versus bias and how technology (digital twins specifically) can help mitigate risk within the complex world of infrastructure.   “I think people generally have the wrong expectation of technology. They think ‘Oh, we're going to be able to predict the future.' Actually the value of these things isn't about being able to predict the future, it's about being able to adapt as quickly as possible to changing circumstances.”  –Neil Thompson Key Takeaways:  Defining a digital twin, the difference between a BIM and digital twinThe true value of technology (spoiler alert: it is not about predicting the future)The transition from sourcing the “cheapest” to “best” solutionMajor programmes as a symphony, an analogy of perspectiveCollaboration through technology for parallel problem solving approach Links Mentioned:  Benedict Evans' PresentationsNoise by Daniel KahnemanBent Flyvbjerg's How Big Things Get Done If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox. The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community: Follow Henry Fenby-Taylor on LinkedInFollow Neil Thompson on LinkedInFollow Digital Twin Fun Club Podcast on LinkedInFollow Riccardo Cosentino on LinkedInNavigating Major Programmes on LinkedIn Transcript:Riccardo Cosentino  00:00If you're listening to navigate the major programs, the podcast that aims to elevate the conversations happening in the infrastructure industry and inspire you to have a more efficient approach within it. I'm your host Riccardo Cosentino I bring over 20 years of major product management experience. Most recently, I graduated from Moxa universities they business group, which shook my belief when it comes to navigating major problems. Now it's time to shake yours. Join me in each episode as a press the industry experts about the complexity of major problem management, emerging digital trends and the critical leadership required to approach these multibillion dollar projects. Let's see where the conversation takes us. Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of navigating major programs. Today I'm joined by two guests from the digital twin fun club. Gonna let them introduce themselves. Henry Fenby-Taylor  01:04Hi, I'm Henry Fenby Taylor, host of the digital twin fan club, podcast and editor and coordinator and I also run my own digital transformation and communications consultancy. Hi, Neil Thompson01:18Hi everyone. I'm Neil Thompson. I'm a digital fanclub cleaner owner and co founder, I guess, their day job I work at AtkinsRéalis, and I do things around digital transformation. I also have some other hats around the industry, my chair, the built environment for the Institute of Engineering Technology, also lucky enough to have gained an Honorary Associate Professor of the Bartlett School of sustainable construction, all things. Construction economics related. So I'm really interested to have this conversation because I've, I've been listening to some episodes and really fascinated in this sort of world between digital tools and how we incentivize people to do things is fascinating. So I'm looking forward to the conversation. Riccardo Cosentino  02:08Yeah, me too. Definitely. I'd well if we're comparing hats. I'm also on the construction industry councils. Net Zero climate change panel, and then CIC 2050, board member of a core member of zero construct as well. So I have a very strong interest in net zero in this space as well. Which is a key economic question, isn't it? Really?  Yes. Especially today with the especially in the UK, especially today with a big news from last week? Ya know, um, you know, I'm Riccardo Cosentino I think the listeners know me, and I think today, I'm really keen to explore, you know, how can digital tools, digital twin help us navigate the major programs? I have cheeky and cheesy really trying to make a comparison there. I think digital twin and digital tools today are like the Google Maps of for navigating major problems, while in the old days, we used to just have maps. And so I think it's, it's an important intersection. As project complexity gets bigger and bigger. So to the tool that we need to manage that complexity need to need to be adopted. And, you know, that's, that's my contribution to this podcast. Henry Fenby-Taylor  03:35Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. I think it's a very key issue. So we always start with what is a digital twin, I feel that there is often uncertainty, or lack of clarity around that. And I feel like adding some definitions to that will give us some simplicity. And then people can know what we're talking about. I've got my own definitions, but I'll let you go first, Neil. Neil Thompson04:03Oh, cheeky. I, so I got a, I have two views of digital twins. One is sort of the variation of, you know, we need to represent physical assets in a digital way. And hence the digital twin. And we use a series of technologies to achieve that. My other end of the telescope definition of it is we're connecting critical national infrastructure to the internet at different levels of maturity. So one end of the end of maturity is existing things that work today. There's things that we're planning for the future. And then there's things that we're building in between and all those things have some sort of interface with the internet, which may sound a bit strange saying it that way, but it's it's for me, it's just connecting these things together digitally with Henry Fenby-Taylor  04:59jazz I can't believe I've got to say jazz first and about gas. So my definition of a digital twin is that it is a system where there is a real thing that we are trying to manage or look after. And it could be designed simulate, construct, operate, you know, or it could be at the highest level of strategy, there's a thing that we need to manage. And so many things are complex, obviously, major programs are very complex, organizationally, technically, what they're trying to do, very complex. And so we need a better understanding of that real thing by measuring digitally understanding in a system that can tell us what is really happening with that system. Not only do we have good interfaces, so it's not just about having a nice dashboard. But it's about empowering people to make better decisions on the coalface of their job, right? From the very, most operational on the tools level, all the way up to strategic direction, measuring key performance indicators. And I think it's that connection by Neil says that Internet of infrastructure, it's bringing things together in a way that's not been done before. Because it's quite a complex sector is it's a complex supply chain, the word you could take an aspect of major programs, indeed, infrastructure in general, and probably apply the word complex to it quite safely. So I think, to move us on, I think that's a great definition. We've done our definitions of digital twins. So we know what we're talking about. Riccardo Cosentino  06:50Maybe there are five, yeah, if I may just stick to one. Because I mean, North America, where I'm from in, Canada's specially I think there's still a lack of understanding. And I think since we're defining, I think it'd be helpful and probably going to open a can of worms, since I've listened to your podcast in the past. But what's the difference between a BIM and a digital twin? Henry Fenby-Taylor  07:17Well, good question. Now, I have the true answer. But it's not very simple, which is that digital twins didn't come from the built environment, but didn't come from construction that didn't come from infrastructure, they came from NASA, originally, the original concept for we have a shuttle in space, and we keep building physical mock ups of this thing. So why don't we go to digital one, and then not only can we plan, model it and send up into space, and manage it remotely, we can create a better system for the design for the whole system for design, construction use. And so because it came from that route, it's difficult for the built environment, because we had a thing for that, when the digital twins came to us that design simulate side was an is already being done by them. So, I am not fussy about where you call your digital twin, because it could be your managing your factory line and your system. So you are trying to make maximize efficiency in say, building a building, or in the design. But I am not precious about it. If people want to say, you know, BIM is over here, in the design phase, and digital twin is over there. That's their choice. It is because of its origins, slightly complex, but effectively, a digital twin can cover the whole remit. And be, have been as part of it. Neil Thompson08:57Yeah, and we, at the end of the day, it's better to make a mistake in cyberspace than it is to do it in physical space. So just thinking about the Navigating of major programs, let's not go wrong in real life. It's really hard to fix. It's really hard to see. And unless Yeah, I'm with Henry on that one. It's, you know, let's, let's go and make a Digital Sandbox and work out and make a plan there is build, build the plan and execute that plan. And then and obviously, we in the world of major programs are very complex, involve lots of people and generally go for a really long period of time. So things change, where the environment changes, economic circumstances change. So my frustration with all of this is to is in two parts. One is I think people generally have a wrong expectation of technology. They think, Oh, we're going to be able to predict the future. Actually, the value of these things isn't isn't about being be able to predict the future is about being able to adapt as quickly as possible to change in circumstances. And that's where we need to get people on board is this Henry Fenby-Taylor  10:09is this from the I think you've got me to read Tim Harford's book adapt. That was yes. And that was very influential for my thinking on digital twins, where you are, again, you're trying to empower people through technology, not trying to take decisions away or automate things away. You're trying to give people the ability to react to changing circumstances. And, you know, just things like the teams are making major programs change massively, constantly. So you have a constant onboarding, and off boarding of knowledge and expertise. And it can be really difficult to capture that. So creating systems that mirror they were originally called digital twins, originally called information, model mirrors, that mirror what's happening, just allows people to get up to speed quicker allows people to make better decisions faster. Riccardo Cosentino  11:05I really liked that. It was one of the definition of a major programs, which I absolutely having a spot on the major programs are complex adaptive systems, to only they are complex, but they change. And so you're now dealing with, you know, an I think an equivalent to a complex adaptive system is is a flock of birds 1000s of birds flying to the sky, and somehow they do they unison, but it feels like they're doing Unison but they don't. And so that's, that's an equivalent of a complex adaptive system. Henry Fenby-Taylor  11:40I'm going to ask myself an interesting question on that. Does the does any individual bird know what the flock is doing? Or are they just responding to some fairly simple rules at a quite an immediate, you know, that the flock is created by birds with a similar drive all that with, say, a common goal, you know, they're all going to migrate all reacting to each other using very similar rules. And it is sort of organic emergent system creates, emerges, an emergent system emerges. And I think that's the beauty of major programs is that they work at all? Neil Thompson12:24You've heard no. I've got, let's go on a journey. Right? So probably when I was growing, so what No, just just one point, I used to work for really big, you know, construction companies. And the thing that always used to strike me we've we've all was you can stand still on a building site and look around, and it doesn't look like much is happening. But the job gets done. The how people come together at that scale is really interesting, because sometimes you can't, you can't stand there and physically sit. So there's a thing here and digital systems like this, the only way that you can have visibility of it because people are behind things. They're in the office, they didn't there's so much stuff happening, not one person can stand on a platform and look at everything. So that's that's something I find interesting. So it's back to what you said about the flock of birds. So this is this is something I've always wanted to the types of listen that listeners you have Ricardo and those in the space of finance and designing contracts. This is this is something that I've always the pitch that I've always wanted to make in from a digital perspective, because I feel like we're two worlds that don't communicate that much. There's this sort of capability of technology and those that design contracts and sort of somewhat oblivious of each other, but have a vital role to play. So one is back to your flock of birds. So think about an economics, right, we have we think of the price mechanism. So we infer the quality of something through its price. But I think we've sort of reached a point now where the price mechanism is somewhat defunct, we just because it's expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. And there's a great I don't if you know who Benedict Evans is. Ben is Evans is sort of a commentator on technology trends over time. He gave a presentation in 2021. And if you have show notes, I can provide you a link, he this slides that he created was about sentiment of search on for consumers over time. And it has two lines, it has a line for the sentiment for the best and sentiment for the cheapest and in 2004 Everyone went on the internet and search for the cheapest then up to about 2008 It was the number one sentiment on the internet. And then this line called the best I want to find the best not the cheapest took over and it's just skyrocketed since. So this sort of price mechanism thing our flock of birds and like the internet as a proxy for Okay, people turned up and use it to find the cheapest thing they quickly found. out there, we'll find the cheapest thing actually isn't the best outcome, searching the internet and using the information that we have stored in the internet about products, reviews, quality, consistency, what have you means that instead of searching, give me other no trainers for cheapest. It's given me, what is the best for the use that I need? And modern internet searches. And just think about when you go and buy things. How regularly do you go, I'm just gonna go get the cheapest thing is interesting. So the world of consumer products has changed. And I think we're in we're in that point of 2008. Those that have been designing contracts have kind of the kid themselves to say they've been after quality, but they it by accident, I think I don't think it's through sort of any malicious intent or just the way because of the lack of information, we can only go by the price mechanism. But now with with the systems, they are digital twins and what have you, we can ask better questions of our data. So instead of sort of being rushed for time, the best thing that we can do is just just just give us your best price. And we'll go with that. We're now in the space of well performance, and what is what is best for the outcome. So you can't do that at that technology. So this is back to my analogy of standing there on a building site. Just because you can stand there physically see, it doesn't mean that you've got a true picture of performance, you have to have a digital understanding of the landscape to, to get underneath the surface of how well that's going. Henry Fenby-Taylor  16:23Adding to that I feel the contract. Artifact contracts themselves are legal documents, they do not flex, much over time, but generally, you know, they won't flex at all. So there is a real pressure when you are trying to procure to get the best deal. And to somehow know everything in advance before you start. And I think we all know that with the best will in the world. That can't happen. And the emergence of new paradigms of delivery through software and technology, where things are much more incremental, has challenged at dynamic of, here's your contract, you've got 12 months, here's the money go away, make me the thing, whether it's software, or an apple, and 12 months is definitely not long enough for an apple unless it's a really little one. But that it doesn't work. It fundamentally doesn't work. And you can't design a contract to make it work. You can design a contract to protect and to enforce and to give powers and all these sorts of things. But without that data that Neil's talking about, you are relying on judgment and or good practice goodwill, and then ultimately, litigation and, you know, take people to call. And there are much better mechanisms in between that, that we can introduce now that we can put into contracts that will make them operate better and give the outcomes people are looking for by adding that adding this measurement, this quality, as Neil calls it throughout. Riccardo Cosentino  18:22Yeah, and I think if we think of contracts for major programs, and I think it goes back to adaptability and being able to manage a complex adaptive system, and then the contracts that we have the typical lump sum turnkey, Neil's very familiar with his word, you know, they don't provide the flexibility that you know, you're supposed to give a fixed price today for something that is going to complete a seven, eight years from now, and assume that you can predict everything that is going to happen. I think the digital tools and digital twin will help you manage some of that, but the contract are certainly not set up to allow for adaptability, new contracts or they're not new, but like Alliance type contracting, collaborative contracting can help because they allow a better discussion instead of having an upfront discussion. It allows a discussion throughout the contract. And you're allowed to change some parameters, but it's ultimately it's it needs to we need to have an understanding that major programs adapt, have to adapt to changing circumstances. I mean, I mean, look, I just I just do what's happening now. Right? I mean, that's a perfect example of a contract that needs to be adapted. Henry Fenby-Taylor  19:41Yeah, absolutely. There's so many different factors at play here. It's political, its social. Its cost of living. It's all of these factors that come together. So yeah, I do think that creating these data insights on understanding can create better contracts. But it can also reduce risk and make projects more insurable. I've spoken to a number of insurance providers over the years and how they assess risk and cost risk and choose whether or not to cover a risk is the in this sort of artisanal, it's a skill, it's something you developed. And you have to, you know, you have to use your personal judgment to make those decisions with better data with better insight into what's happening, because you can use great data about what has happened past tense, and that can inform future decisions. But if you can drive those drive those insights all the way into the project, then you can really overcome some risks by understanding what's actually happening. Neil Thompson20:55Either of you read or know about Daniel Kahneman? I think it's his latest book noise. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I think this is this is interesting, because if if the decision of a judge on its own, is, you know, there's two types of noisiness, there's the noisiness of the decision that you make, and then the noisiness of the process that you use to make that decision. Yes. And I think the same is here for contracts, right? They are inherently noisy, because it's based upon people's best opinion. Even when you get into the world of managing programs of any size, and people putting together Gantt charts and programs in Primavera P6, those are driven, they drive the decisions about how well that project is going. But they're sort of artifacts of people's opinions of where you roughly, it's not, it's not a scientific measure of, of quality progress and where you are, there isn't a device out there that can go and take a picture. To turn that into progress. It is the pm turns up to their team, how we're doing this week, where do you actually think we are against some sort of measure the measures usually is zero, 25% 50% 75%, or 100%. And you just scale that up, then the embedded noise of as you scale those for every layer, you know, the PM, probably gives that to a package manager, the package manager gives that sub project director, that project director is a dope Project Director of one area of maybe five Directorates, and then they come together and when the time it gets to the client, I mean, they're so far away from reality from a data perspective is, it's, it's quite scary. And if we think about the context of the application of AI, so in my, in my view of sort of the digital team world being a platform for this, the issue that we have is a little bit like the problem that we have with generative AI from chat GPT, if you ask it to make you an outline document for something, it's written from a Western or even more specific, more of like a Californian point of view, you'd have a point of view from that particular set of data. Now, if we're going to try and do the same in steering, the, you know, navigating major programs is you're going to set AI loose on a load of data that is just made up, right? How can that provide you any value, all it will say is, okay, instead of me asking the opinion of one P6 user, I can ask the opinion of all P6 users in history, but they're just, they're just artifacts of compound opinions. And we need to we need to break that somehow. So those those plans are built in a way that are relevant to the evidence that we have in datasets are collected from real life, not these intermediate trees in between this sort of management layers Henry Fenby-Taylor  23:5875% Complete. It's thinking about that that noise, analogy, accuracy, you know, you're trying to hit a target. And there is the big target at the end on time on budget, or even under budget under time. And high quality, great feedback. And that's a big target over there. But everybody is no such as hitting these small weekly daily targets that they have to hit. And we need better data. Yes. The data that we have has this bias in it. So if you are aiming for a target and consistently missing it in the same way, so you've got a bullseye in front of you and it's it's always hitting in the bottom right then you know that your your targeting is off. And this is the opportunity but it is the work that needs to be done because we have these targets we've not been computing them. So when you do compute them And you just scale this bias massively. And so, accuracy versus bias, but then you have the issue of of the noise as well, in the fact of, you know, different people act differently under different circumstances. So we need to align how people aim for targets, as well. And that's, that's data is also about not only what you measure, but how you ask for it, how you get it, and what it's for. Neil Thompson25:31It's interesting you say about two people. So my, in my research, in my dissertation, there was a question about risk preferences. And what I found systematically across the I think there's like 110, people that I managed to get the opinion of people systematically had a different risk appetite to their organization. So it's interesting, you ask them questions that sort of sets the risk appetite of the organization that they work for. And you ask a slightly different set of questions that sets the risk appetite of the individual. And there's always a huge, huge gap. It doesn't mean that organizations are less risky than people, it's, it's actually a bit more noisier than that. But it's interesting if organizations are just a collection of people that come together, that gap between the organization being risk averse, and the individual being risky for examples and in interesting thing, because that person's decisions, makes a huge impact on the macro risk appetite of the organization. And this, and this is what took me from your last episode, Ricardo was this the the stuff around behavioral economics. And I think the interesting thing, for me, is, the way that we design incentivization, at the broadest level is sort of is the same sort of difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics, or of macroeconomics. Back in the days before the internet and being able to collect data, they had to make some massive assumptions about how economies work. So they created macroeconomics, they made all these assumptions about how, you know, GDP, and all these sort of government level measurements. And, and then the behavioral economics comes around and said, well, actually, you know, people aren't having a generous, they all behave differently, they all come together in different ways. And there's a gap, and we're in this, we're in this space now, where we've never had the technology to be able to do the human, granular level thing. It's just too difficult to measure. But we're entering that world. Now we're in this, despite where you want to call it through marketing, call it digital twins or whatever. But we are in the world of being a like, the technology is now there. Five years ago, maybe even sooner, the technology wasn't available to us to manage information at this scale.  Riccardo Cosentino  27:54So I, you know, I just wanted you because it's something that I've been listening attentively, potentially. And it sounds to me that the digital twin to BIM call it whatever we want to call it, but and then I, and I think I know this anecdotally that I was really developed, the BIM model, especially with developers, a collaborative tool is a way of bringing, or bringing people with different disciplines in the in the in the building. So you have many contractor and designer, your your architects and bring them all together around one single model, so that they can collaborate and solve problems together rather than have. So I have a parallel problem solving approach rather than a sequence, problem solving approach, which was the old days where, you know, one, one engineer would finish the work, pass it to the next one was the next one. And so you, you end up with a problem at the end, and you got to go back to the beginning to fix it while would be am, I assume you can sit around the table, if everybody's got the technology, if you ever set it up properly, to actually address problems as they arise together. And in Neil Thompson29:05to this established techniques. So in so in Stanford's, they teach virtual designing construction, and they have a whole module on weather called concurrent engineering, which what this is, this is all about, because in order to understand, if you're going to get a load of decision makers together every week, there's coordination that happens, the other side of that, in terms of all the information that you've got to make sure that let's take a building of a bridge, you know, is your design of your bridge in the same part of the world as mine is over all the other coordinates, right? That's the most basic thing, because believe it or not, before that they could be in completely different places that could be in different units. You know, that's why things have went wrong previously, because someone's in the Imperial zones in in metric, and they don't align. So there's all these sort of basic things about concurrent engineering about just pure coordination. Are we all looking at the same thing? As your does your thing, that was my thing. There's the m&e bit with the structure. And all those sorts of things. The the interesting outcome of that, from my perspective, and this is the really, and this is what I, if I had to make any point to this, this group of listeners is technology lowers the barrier of entry, and enables anyone to have a high level of capability, right? So, and the danger of that is, we essentially subsidize a sub optimal design process. So what we shouldn't be doing is design over here, and digital twin over there. And they, they sort of come together eventually. But they are the two of the same thing, let's not create a BIM process over there to check the design, to show that the design doesn't work. All that does is makes designers lazy, and a bit of someone else can worry about the coordination. If it's going to work later. It's making sure that we create these tools within the design process. Because that's where we get into this waterfall issue of finding out the problems later before it's too late to fix it, because we didn't do all the smart stuff. As a first step, we did the smart stuff at the ends check, right? Let's not have the exam at the end of the year, let's have continuous assessment of what we're doing. Henry Fenby-Taylor  31:19I have an interesting analogy. This goes back to an old digital twin Franklin podcast with Neil and Alan Waha, about how is the construction sector, like the music sector when we were talking about digital and now you need a digital first process before you can even move into that space. But I conjured the amusing mental image by writing a post on it recently that actually, what a lot of programs and systems look like now is we ask a group of people to make a symphony together. They make this wonderful symphony and they record it. And they will show it to you though you can listen to it. But that you can't have that you only are allowed the sheet music at the end. So you've gone through this whole process of thinking, and realizing. But because we are bound by certain deliverables and certain processes, that will know that we couldn't possibly give you the recording. Here's the sheet music now you can get somebody else to go play that even though we've already done it made secure proof of my knowledge you nail Neil Thompson32:28that is beautiful, because what will you get on to and this is the internet. And this is the interesting thing about contract design is if you give anybody the sheet music, it will sound differently. If you gave a machine a sheet music, it will sound robotic, it will it will play it precisely to time. The nuance about why a symphony sounds great played live is because it has all these human inaccuracies come together that makes it sound the way it does me can't hear any of us. That's why the London Symphony Orchestra is different to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Right? So the the issue here is is how do we that that sort of that organic stuff that happens between the lines of the contract is finding better ways of incentivizing people beyond that. And it's it's interest because we're in this world of these discussions about buying based on value. So most most of consultancies are in the world of like, selling people per the hour isn't good in terms of growth, because we have to acquire companies all the time and said more and more people. And that's not sustainable, because there's only a finite number of people on Earth. So it's that that growth model comes to an end naturally. So there's this conversation about value. But then when we look at the contracts that we have, yes, the unitary production value is a person in over an hour or whatever. But the other side of it is then also the all that we're competing for, is the essentially been exposed to the risk of getting it wrong. Like that's the thing. That's that is why so people say, oh, you know, some technology firms going to come along and eat up, you know, take over construction or take over engineering design, the reality is, it's probably not going to happen, because they're not willing to take on the risk of getting it wrong. And people like myself, and we're kind of we are like we we bring these systems together to take on that risk. The day that a technology company goes, Yeah, we're going to provide the technology, the service, and we'll take the risk on for getting it wrong, then we are in trouble. But I can't see shareholders, big or small startups, big technology firms. Name name a big name a big design vendor beginning with A or B, that, you know, imagine them turning around to their shareholders and say we're going to design bridges and we're going to take on the the the liability of the design of those bridges. The shareholders are going to sign off on that because they said because they will say no, we buy the shares and sit on your board because you do this business. If I want to take on the risk of building bridges. I'm gonna go and buy shares in engineering firms, not software firms. So that's, that's another dimension. Here's beyond the contract is the incentive of the people that own the mean, own the capital. Right. Henry Fenby-Taylor  35:10It's, it's interesting, because I want to address your earlier points. But I feel like that's quite a western approach. I feel that, you know, I mean, Samsung was effectively government sponsored, is effectively government sponsored, lots of history there. And it doesn't actually make a lot of profit, but it makes a lot of stuff. And it employs a lot of people. And a tradition in Toyota is that the eldest son, and his son, who is adopted, even if he's 50 years old, goes and starts a new business, and they look to diversify. And then they can potentially in some of these things fail, some of these things work. And you would, you would follow this sort of route, if you could own all the risk. And I think that's part of it. The reason that the construction sector is structured the way it is, because a lot of people inside the sector complain, that is the fragmentation. That's what's causes the problem. But the reason it's structured that way is to mitigate risk. Because that allows things to go wrong, that allows certain projects to fail, it allows certain products to fail, without the whole thing coming down. If you try and do it all together, you still can't control of the risks, you still can't control the cost of materials, because then you know, where do you stop? Where would you stop, if you wanted to do an end to end infrastructure company, you would need to own the quarries, you would need to own the logistics companies, you would need a stake in the logistics in the infrastructure, you would you know, and then you need all of the designers. I mean, it would be amazing. But this going all the way back to the symphony analogy, you can't write a major programs Symphony on your own, it is not, you know, a symphony is X number of instruments, you know, it needs that overall vision, and the composer can bring that, and then the conductor can turn that into something magical. But the in our analogy, the the violinist is also part of the composition team, as is that the percussion, you know, everybody has this part to play. So that is where the extra complexity comes in. And you can't just bring all of that stuff together, it needs to be in these disciplines for you know, being able to kind of mitigate this risk. But it's it's there in that we all want a symphony that basically has a handover, and that's when Rockstar architects often continue to get amazing commissions and go huge, they have a budget and over time. But they'll get the work because they there, you will feel the hand of the composer and there's that beauty to it. But if you're dealing with infrastructure services, you know, maybe I do want a pretty station every now and again. But ultimately, we're looking for that service delivery, we're looking for that efficiency. So we aren't going to have one composer that we can work better to ensure that, you know, to go back to this analogy, because I'm just going to keep using it because I really love this analogy. Everybody does their own composing, having been given a brief terms up to a meeting, and everybody plays their music all at once. And it's the first time anybody's heard it. And that's that's the negotiation process. Because that sounds awful. Everybody's you know, might not be in the same tempo might not be in the same key, you know, all these different issues. I'm not a music writer, by the way, I'm just, you know, I love this analogy. And I love going deep on these things. So this view of a symphony, this view of a major programmers, it's an organic, human interaction, by following digital processes, whether we call them digital twins or not, you know, like concurrent engineering, we can listen to the music and we can get together and we can make sure that we are in harmony earlier. Because there's so often that, you know, I've seen this on so many projects where, you know, different disciplines that we're managing will do a certain amount of work to a certain level with no regard to other people. And that means that you create all these problems, and that can be resolved, but it requires a very talented composer to make that happen. So that says, Riccardo Cosentino  39:35Let me let me take on that analogy, because I think is phenomenal. And we've actually done some work with an orchestra coming in and showing us teamwork through the eyes of an orchestra. Henry Fenby-Taylor  39:47So really, yeah, so did not know that's not a plan.  That was fascinating. But you know, ultimately, the way that an orchestra works, they're actually listening to each other live so you know the reader sheet music and Neil, you are musician, but they read a sheet music. But ultimately, there's live feedback that you receive for the other members of the orchestra and you adapt your play, and you also adapt to the to the conductor. And so I think if I, if I take the analogy further, if you have an orchestra of 10,000 people, there is no way that you can do that without the aid of a digital tool or something that helps you manage the volume of people and the volume of feedback that you have in an organization that big. So we now get into a scale of things where the human itself is not like a conductor won't be able to conduct 10,000 people, I can do 5060 you now start having 1000 10,000 You're gonna end multiple conductors, how do they are multiple conductor to to each other, but they're only handing over sheet music? Yes. Neil Thompson40:51So you're, you're, you're onto something that I, here's a thought experiment, okay.  Henry Fenby-Taylor  40:59I'm here for it Neil Thompson41:00building things we've been doing for a very long time. Arguably, there are other professions that are up for the competition of the longer the oldest profession, but building things soldier and coordinating things, we probably build things before we decided to protect them. So I'd go as far to say that coordinating people to build things is probably the, as a human endeavor, we've done the longest than other things apart from you know, childbirth, and all those sorts of things, right? It's one of them. It's probably the top five in the top five things we've been doing since the beginning of time, right? So my thought experiment is is is are we actually the most advanced industry in terms of trying to coordinate ourselves commercially, because we've been through that journey. And the reason the reason why I say that is the thing that fascinates me is how industries sort of consolidate, and diffuse and consolidate and diffuse over time. And what's happening with the digital implementation of the entertainment industry, I think it's an interesting thing, because in the music industry, you've got Spotify, and Apple music, itunes or whatever. There's some other ones, but they're like the two main players, right? Your Pepsi, coke, or those two. And if anything is probably just Spotify, I'd imagine the level of users I don't meet many people that aren't on Spotify. But anyway, so there's there's a high degree of consolidation in that space, which I think's interested in compared to movies and TV, where I'm almost to the point of thinking, there's all these subscriptions out there. You were if you wanted to have access to everything, you've got to subscribe to about 10 different services. And I think that markets on the route of being sort of broken and ripe for consolidation, I think we've, we've got this conundrum of are we going to be the symphony of 10,000 people that needs coordinating? Or is do we need sort of bring it together  breaking apart? Do any coming together? I have failing to get it to work from a digital perspective and how the tools will help us do it is these will break down into sort of larger, larger coordinated integrator units then then where we are right now we are labor is devised through speciality too much it's too fragmented, too. There's too many specific jobs to do. You think about the role of the master building the architects over time and how that's been broken down to just what it is today. Sorry, to the any architecture people listening, but it's, it's reality, the role of the master builder of the architect is, is no more I mean, in the UK, we have the quantity surveyor, and it's a slightly different thing in the States, where the architect does still sort of hold on to that role. But yeah, we've sort of broken up our professions so much and atomize them that they've become impossible to coordinate to the point of probably need to reconsolidate them and that that's comes full circle to how technology enables contracts. Henry Fenby-Taylor  44:02Absolutely, that a specialism it is a it gives you certainty, you know, if you have a chartered architect or a chartered engineer, you are expecting certain levels of capability and responsibility and and they will behave in certain ways. So, you've got that kind of certainty, but then in the actual implementation of that, that's that's when it all kind of falls apart by the wayside, not what apart it does work, you know, these things get built, and the risk is managed, and, and all of these things. So I agree with you, I do think it'd be interesting to see from scratch if we started or what, what roles would we have, and what specialisms would we need? Because I don't think they'd be in the current hierarchy as it stands. But then, as I want to move over to new products and services and finding new ways of doing things because, you know, here are the professional disciplines, it's, you know, what you're gonna get from them, in a sense, because they are chartered, and you know, they are insured, and you know, they have these businesses and you know what you're gonna get. But when you're trying to do new things, or new ways of doing things, these, the digital twin, as Neil said, he knows the platform for change, because now we know what's happening, we can see what's happening. And we can implement new processes, we can implement new measures, and we can know we can really manage that dynamic. But that area is actually quite consolidated. You know, there's a few design tools and these organizations, you know, like Autodesk, and Bentley, are growing through procurement. And they are also doing cloud storage effectively, you know, with some with some amazing bells and whistles, and they are doing these coordination pieces. But how do you get the new tools in there the things that are we have developed this, this tool, this innovative thing that can improve how you do things? How does that get in there, because we have this professional unit on one side and a technology unit on the other, and they're very separate, and they shouldn't be. Neil Thompson46:20So this is the interesting thing that's happened in that sector is, they've, as I said, the technology sector in general is they've gone from selling boxes and CDs of software, they've moved into the clouds. And through application programming, programming interfaces, APIs, have shifted from selling boxes of CDs through to essentially I mean, there's the analogy, but the press of the button of the function that you want to use, essentially, charging on a draw circle, press the circle button, the API call for the circle, and I get micro charged. So instead of paying my two or 3000 pounds a year for my, my Revit license, I then start paying maybe a cent for every button click. And that's sort of the spectrum. And I wonder, I wonder if it's the same thing for us. Ricardo, we are we still selling boxes of software? In this world of these big infrastructure projects? Were actually shouldn't we be looking at more micro contracts, and the micro contracts can't be implemented physically, as in on paper, or between people, it can only be administered with technology? Would we end up in a world where we just have 1000s of tiny contracts that build up into this sort of nexus of an agreement that would build infrastructure versus trying to draw a big circle around it and say, Riccardo Cosentino  47:51I think micro contracts? Yes. I think every time you introduce an interface, you're introducing complexity. So a fasn, or micro contracts is a 1000s of interfaces. Now, you that definitely would not advocate for their big advocate to reduce complexity. That's why I'm also that's also why I'm saying remove private finance from from PFI, don't do PFI remove the private finance because that adds a layer of complexity that major programs struggle to deal with. And that's, that's my previous episode, if you're interested. But just to take it back. You know, we we talked about the the analogy of the, the orchestra. And ultimately, I think we're at an inflection point. And I like your journey through time, you know, what we've been building major programs since the pyramids and even before, so clearly, they can be built without digital tools. However, if you want to build it, without digital tools, you need to accept that you might have some slaves building it for you. And I think that's, that's where we are for major programs. You know, we can continue doing it well, how we've been doing it for the last 100 years, but you know, society is changing. The needs of society is changing the needs of the people working in the major programs are different. So you need to adopt the major programs. And I think the only way you're going to do it, is by adopting new processes and new technologies and you know, digital twin, I think captures most of those. Henry Fenby-Taylor  49:26So, I think the digital approach is very important, but it is not. On our last our last podcast in the digital twin fanclub last podcast, we were discussing that at board level, I mean, I know major programs have boards, there is often a person for this. So if there is a technology aspect, then it's the Chief Technology Officers role to take responsibility for that. Whereas what we actually talking about is achieving our goals and performance. And these are, you know, you would not have a chief pencil officer or a chief paper officer. And for the same reason you shouldn't have at work, you should have a chief technology officer, but they should, they are not the ones who are responsible for if anything vaguely digital comes up, we just pass it over to them. It it is addressing all of these issues. So we have our own technology stacks that we use in the built environment, but we also have these professional disciplines and to not apply them together is to basically take the costs of both and try and smush them together to make benefits, that doesn't work. Neil Thompson50:49So I think Ben Flyvbjerg book has to get big things done. backs up my my theory of big programs are not just big programs to deliver. One of the best books written in forever brilliant. My point here is, these big, these big programs aren't just infrastructure programs that IT programs. And they have to be treated as such. So I don't agree with the OS passing over to the technology person yours. Because what you're technically saying is you shouldn't have a CIO either, because the IT infrastructure just sort itself out this, I think it's it's in our world is this project technology, stuff that we do to get the project done. And then there's IT infrastructure for the enterprise. And those two things are kept at arm's length from each other. And I think the journey that we need to go on is bringing them together. So it's not about not having a Chief Technology Officer, it's about actually understanding that the IT infrastructure is so complex, for major programs that your major program is an IT projects, and they are run, they are ran in slightly different ways. And you require that management structure because a project director that is very good at coordinating a site of builders is a very different skill set to getting IT infrastructure that you can't mix them up, but they require to be in the same room at certain points. So that's, that's that's a challenge. I just, I did want to change one thing about the micro contracts whilst whilst I've got the microphone. So imagine being Paul McCartney, back in the, in the 60s, and you're you're the CEO of Spotify, and you get the you get the opportunity, you go back in time, you get the opportunity to go to Paul McCartney and say, Do you know in the future, we're going to charge everybody per stream, per listen of your song, he'd say the same thing. I said, Well, how someone's going to run around with like a cone and listen out, for when you're listening to it and charge the money. They've got no digital payments, then there's no internet, there's nothing. So they're just thinking, you're someone's gonna go around on a bike and knock on the door. And I heard you listen to The Beatles, I take 50 pay off you. It's not that as it's I think there is an aspect of technology is going to enable us to have those types of, of management. Yes, there's complexity. But technology lowers the risk to be able to absorb the risk of the complexity. So just there's just my challenge on that one. Riccardo Cosentino  53:27I think we're seeing the same thing. I mean, it's it's major programs are getting more and more complex, because not just the complexity of what you're designing and building but also the environment they operate, right. It's political, social, political. So you need to help to manage that complexity. And I think you're right. I mean, it's digital is what is going to help you and we don't even know how it's going to help us today. Because we don't know what tomorrow is bringing. Henry Fenby-Taylor  53:57Yeah, but but similarly to almost to back you up to be the peacemaker, as is my want. You didn't You didn't, Spotify was not built overnight, you know, and you needed that infrastructure. So you need that. And again, I'm gonna use the word digital twin, but that way of measuring progress of measuring quality, you can't, you couldn't do micro contracts, you couldn't slap a micro contract system. Without that, that supporting technology, that measurement, that understanding of how things are actually working. So it certainly feels absolutely right, that there is an IT infrastructure aspect to running these, these these major programs. And if you don't, if you choose not to make those decisions, someone is going to have to make those decisions or those decisions don't get made and for my experience of major programs, you can end up with these huge transaction costs is very basic. What might seem very basic interface isn't going to be Share my costings, I'm going to share my project plan I'm going to share my designs, becomes something that requires a superstar, to solve somebody who is an amazing integrator of systems, and done some of that. So you get very good at working out how different systems work and behave them, connecting them all up and getting the people to connect, and connect up, etc. But without that, underpinning technology, without implementing these tools, making these decisions, knowing that you need to make those decisions, you are just setting yourself up for all sorts of costs of just hours, you know, I have seen projects where to share data would add a day, every every two weeks, to a technicians time, per team. And when you scale that up, it's just it's just a huge amount of waste that you could have avoided by knowing that you needed to make that decision early in the program. And making it might not be the best solution. And that's often a problem, I think, in the built environment, you know, always looking for, what's the perfect solve all answer, what we can get as close as we can to that. And then we need to be pragmatic and move on with our lives. But for all that is holy, in the whole, please don't just not make the decision and let that problem cascade into the supply chain. Because you will end up with lots of bits of paper, and lots of waste. And lots of people are hanging around waiting for other people to do things. Riccardo Cosentino  56:40Yeah, I think I think if you want to use an analogy from NASA, since we talk about digital twin, you know, if you want faster, better, cheaper, you got to figure out and different way of doing things. Because otherwise, if you just do it the way we've been doing it, you're not going to achieve that, as I said, I mean, we innovation has always brought us forward and allowed us to do things better, faster and cheaper throughout the centuries. And I think this is another inflection point where we need to, we need to look at how do we get? Henry Fenby-Taylor  57:11Yeah, and there are some innovative new companies, I'm thinking about the, you know, everybody loves throwing the Toyota example out there, and the Kanban process, etc. And lots of American car companies were invited to Toyota and went and saw how they did things. But they weren't able to implement those processes. And perhaps they're being implemented now. But certainly at the time, there were cultural issues, there were expectations, you know, people's jobs, this is my job, and you're changing my job. And this, this applies to car companies, individual consultancies and construction companies, but also to the disciplines to the engineer to the architect, etc. So there are organizations out there that are delivering new models. And we have to give those a chance, in my view, otherwise, you know, it's not broken enough to fix is the danger. But it is pretty broken. Riccardo Cosentino  58:15On there, we all agree, I think, Neil Thompson58:19yeah, I guess in summary, you know, I know I didn't agree with Henry, but this is me agreeing with Henry about the technology role. I technology leadership is for all of us. Tonight, as your leadership, you know, it, especially in the context of navigating major programs is an awful lot of people do assume that somebody else is going to give them a tour at some point. And as a stereotypical, you know, someone from the IT department is going to install a new toy on my laptop, when I wake up Monday morning, and I'll be inconvenienced by it, and I'm open about it. And then I've got my new toy and I crack on it doesn't, it doesn't work like that you have to you have to engage with what technology is doing and understand it as part of, you know, we're talking to people that design commercial environments. And that's hard enough on its own. And unfortunately, there's another dimension to that, which is technology leadership. And if you want to be a good designer of commercial environments, you do have to do some homework on where technology is at and how does it impact the planning? And yeah, yeah, it's like concluding point for you. Henry Fenby-Taylor  59:33Fantastic concluding point. Really, we're gonna lead exciting to see that there's lots actually happening around the world there is increasing amount of connected decision making taking place. And I'm here for Riccardo Cosentino  59:48So are we are really going to leave Neal with the last point, Henry? Henry Fenby-Taylor  59:52Yeah, well, I just I started talking because I just couldn't possibly let that I think that was just my podcasting impulse is that always To finish it off, so my final point is, I totally agree with him. Does that mean that I got the last word, but you've got the last point. Riccardo Cosentino  1:00:11I want to thank you both. terrific discussion today. I truly enjoyed it. honored to have you on my podcast. And yeah, hopefully this is this is something that we're going to continue. Neil Thompson1:00:23Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Henry Fenby-Taylor  1:00:25Thanks for having us. Really good. Riccardo Cosentino  1:00:27Thank you. That's it for this episode on navigating major problems.

Welcome to Season 3 of The Baby Manual podcast with Dr. Carole Keim - pediatrician, mom, author of The Baby Manual and the upcoming Holistic Mamas Handbook. In this new season Dr. Keim will take parents through things like teething, colic, constipation, and allergies. This first episode explores what types of modalities are available, from Western medicine to acupuncture to naturopathy and more.   In visiting alternative practitioners, interviewing them, and going through the research, Dr. Keim has learned how many things are available to parents to help children feel better when they're ill. Western medicine, our traditional medical system in the US, has great advantages but is not always the best at improving quality of life. So Carole explains the options for a multifaceted approach, what to look for, and how each can help children thrive. In this episode:Why CAM? 00:26Many modalities of healthcare Western medicine does a lot of things well, but nobody does everything the bestKids under age 3 can't take most OTC medications, but still suffer from many ailmentsA multifaceted approach is often the best oneTreat symptoms and underlying disease at the same timeImportant to know which ones might interfere with others, and what's safe for babiesWriting HMH to help parents through this time; let you know what's safe, what will actually help Stay tuned because this season we will cover teething, colic, constipation, allergies, and morePractitionersWesternChiropractic AcupunctureNutritionMassageHomeopathyAromatherapyNaturopathy These are in the Holistic Mamas HandbookThe most common ones used in the US are chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, and naturopathyWestern med  02:03Philosophy: Body = collection of independent systems.  Treat the underlying cause when possible.  Prolong life.  Tools: Physical examination, lab testing, imaging, medications whose direct action is well understood Training: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 3-5 years of residency, additional years of fellowship to subspecializeHow to spot a good one: MD or DO, open minded, offers more than one solution, works with you on the treatment plan Acupuncture  04:19Philosophy: stimulating points along specific channels can affect nerves and muscles, releases chemicals into the bloodstream, and triggers the body's natural healing mechanisms to bring about homeostasis.  Shonishin dates back to the late 1600s Tools: shonishin is the technique used for children - observe the child, ask questions, feel pulses, and treat.  Blunt tools are used to stroke, tap, and press on the points.  Should be painless and not scary.  Sometimes also use cupping and/or indirect moxibustion.  Moxa is made from mugwort. Training: 4 years of college, plus 3 years of acupuncture school for LAc, 4 years for DACM.  How to spot a good one: certified in shonishin, has pediatric experience, DACM vs LAc.Chiropractic  07:21Philosophy: body has an innate ability to heal itself.  Nerves control everything, and pressure on those nerves from bones being out of alignment causes dysfunction.  Tools: adjustments - manual, clicker, drop table vs flatTraining: 3-4 years undergrad, 3-4 years of chiropractic school, earn DC How to spot a good one: Webster certified, icpa4kids.com, gentle, listens to the childNaturopathy  09:40Philosophy: the body has the inherent nature to heal itself, the whole person is treated (mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social components), first do no harm, identify and treat the cause (not just the symptoms), prevention is the best cure, and the ND is a teacher whose main role is to educate, empower, and motivate patients to take responsibility of their own healthTools: nutrition, homeopathy, herbal remedies, hydrotherapy, massage, fascial manipulation, acupuncture, fasting, breathing.  Since naturopathy is so broad, few studies have been done on it as a discipline, but there are many studies about the specific techniques used.  Training: 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of ND school.  Curriculum includes many of the same classes as western medical doctors, but less pharmacology and more training on herbal and alternative remedies and modalities.How to spot a good one: certified by AANMC, knows when to refer to western medicine for pharmacologic interventions Homeopathy  12:54Philosophy: like cures like, and the more dilute a preparation is, the stronger it is.  Tools: observation of a person's constitution, remedies that are made from an herb or pathogen and are diluted until no longer detectable and made into pellets with sugar Training: 2-4 years undergrad, 3-4 years homeopathic school How to spot a good one: CCH = certified classical homeopath Essential oils / Aromatherapy  15:05Philosophy: strengthen the self-healing process by stimulating the immune system.  Inhaled scent molecules travel along the olfactory nerves to the amygdala (emotional center of the brain)Tools: essential oils are extracted by steam distillation or cold pressing.  Oils are either inhaled, ingested, or applied topically.  Children should not ingest essential oils because they're not regulated and very concentrated.  If you're using them on your child's skin, always use a carrier oil to dilute them so they don't get irritation or a chemical burn.  Training: none requiredHow to spot a good one: someone with a range of experience who isn't tied to one brand in particular.  Good oils will come in dark glass bottles, will list the plant name in latin, and won't have other chemicals added.  Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode. Her insight and knowledge on alternative and holistic treatments come together in her new book, Holistic Mamas Handbook, launching on November 15, 2023. Pre-orders are available here. Her book, The Baby Manual, covers the first year of baby life and is the subject of the first two seasons of this podcast.

Elizabeth Jinks is a midwife, mother of seven, seed saver and a syntropic food forester. With a Masters' in Primary Maternity Care, she is committed to delivering informed, personalised care that empowers women to birth well, whether in a hospital, birth centre or from the comfort of home. From birthing six of her babies at home with the same midwife, Beth is passionate about offering this continuation of care for other women. Our discussion includes some insightful chats about placenta planting in her garden, her vision for birthing 'on country', and Beth's inspiring Permaculture journey on her property in Koah in Far North Queensland. She shares how she was chosen by the land, and her humble beginnings of a shipping container and caravan that evolved into earth shaping to make swales and a small dam for water harvesting, to an established tropical syntropic food forest which provides most of her sustenance.  Beth explains how she uses herbs in her daily life and, specifically, the four essential herbs; Shepards Purse, Angelica Root, Rasberry Leaf and Black Cohosh that she takes to every birth to support women, as well as her love of Motherwort and Mugwort Moxas as supportive plants for women. The story of how Beth supported Tonielle in her personal home birthing experience is shared in this interview, and how permaculture brought them together and continues to evolve with students visiting and participating in planting in her evolving garden of abundance.  She speaks of her regular use of Aloe Vera and Sacred Basil and lists what is flourishing in her summer garden, and we touch on various plants that can and can't be eaten during and after pregnancy.

A consistent theme in this show is empowering you to embody self-respect through daily actions; to take small steps in the direction of better. The body is always seeking balance and homeostasis through its own intelligence and there are usually actions we can take to help support that process. One such way is using points on the body to take care of yourself through acupressure. Katie Pedrick, L.Ac. joins us for this conversation to unpack some of the self-care possibilities that come from putting your own hands on your body. As another proponent of empowering you to support your body's natural intelligence, Katie co-founded the Moxa Acupressure app as a way to further put the process into your hands. On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity: Katie's journey to Chinese Medicine after starting out studying western medicine What led her to creating the Moxa app to expand access for patients How acupressure can be applied for a noticeable effect on our health The method for providing personalization in the app and why that's important An example of how to access a point with acupressure Katie Pedrick is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with a thriving practice in Boston (VIBE Wellness), as well as the cofounder of the Moxa Acupressure app. She began her career in cancer and pharmaceutical research with a masters in biotechnology from Harvard University, then turned her attention to Eastern medicine, earning her doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine from the Pacific College of Health Sciences.

A daily look at the relevant information security news from overnight - 28 July, 2022Episode 275 - 28 July 2022NetStandard Knocked Offline- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/kansas-msp-shuts-down-cloud-services-to-fend-off-cyberattack/Moxa NPort Flaws - https://www.securityweek.com/moxa-nport-device-flaws-can-expose-critical-infrastructure-disruptive-attacksPost Macro Tactics - https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/hackers-change-tactics-for-new/Naughty Knotweed- https://thehackernews.com/2022/07/microsoft-uncover-austrian-company.html Twitter Data Sale - https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/criminal-twitter-users-data/Hi, I'm Paul Torgersen. It's Thursday July 28th, 2022 and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From BleepingComputer.com:Managed service provider NetStandard suffered a cyberattack causing the company to shut down its MyAppsAnywhere cloud services. The company said Hosted GP, Hosted CRM, Hosted Exchange, and Hosted Sharepoint will be offline until further notice, but that no other services were impacted. That being said, their main website remains down as well. No word on threat actor or malware involved, but it is assumed to be a ransomware hit. From SecurityWeek.com:Two high severity flaws have been found in the NPort 5110 device servers from Moxa. The vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely to cause the targeted device to enter a denial of service condition. The only way to regain control of the device is to physically power it down, which might present a challenge as many of these devices are in very remote locations. These things are designed to connect to Ethernet networks and should not be exposed to the internet. However, a Shodan search found at least 5,300 of them that are. Now some of these may be honeypots, but they're not ALL honeypots. Customers should contact Moxa for a security patch. From InfoSecurity-Magazine.com:Since Microsoft announced they would disable macros by default, the use of macro-enabled attachments by threat actors decreased by around 66% between October 2021 and June 2022. Awesome. But, where there's a will there's a way. In that same timeframe, the number of malicious campaigns using container file formats jumped up 176%. These formats include ISO, RAR, ZIP and IMG files that contain macro-enabled docs. Now the ISO and RAR formats will still have the Mark of the Web, meaning they originated from the internet and their macros would be blocked, but the files within them would not. Link to the ProofPoint research in the article. From TheHackerNews.com:A threat actor tracked as Knotweed, used several Windows and Adobe zero-day exploits in highly-targeted attacks against targets in Europe and Central America. They are actually an Austrian outfit called DSIRF that supposedly sells general security and information analysis services to commercial customers. As a side gig, they created a cyberweapon called Subzero, which can hack phones, computers, and internet-connected devices. Talk about vertical integration. And last, from InfoSecurity-Magazine.com:A user named devil is selling a database of 5.4 million Twitter users' information on the Breached Forums site. They say it contains the phone numbers and email addresses of users, including celebrities and companies, and is asking for $30,000. Twitter is investigating the issue, which the seller said exploited a vulnerability in its systems that allows someone to find additional user information, even if that user has it hidden in privacy settings. That's all for me today. Have a great rest of your day. Like and subscribe, and until tomorrow, be safe out there.

*VIDEO PODCAST* Every now and then, I like to take a break from all the sex, fetish, and nasty talk and give you all an episode related to health and wellness. I do this because I love us and I want us to take better care of ourselves or whatever. In this episode, I'm joined by Alan and Katie, the creators of Moxa - a health & wellness app created to better educate people on how to prevent diseases and how to fix things when they're just a little bit wrong through acupressure. For those of you who don't know, acupressure is "acupuncture without the needles", where you use your fingers to massage and activate those same acupoints and see if it can help your body find balance. While uncovering the magic of this 3000 year old Chinese practice, we also discuss: the benefits of crying, how your body stores sadness in your hips, men's fear of being emotional, understanding the importance of maintaining a balanced Yin and Yang, American dependency on over the counter meds, how "hurt people" - hurt people, and SOOO MUCH MORE. We even feature a guided acupressure session to get you to relax - you're welcome. So tune in, download the Moxa app, and get ready to restore balance in your precious little bodies. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yaaasbro/support

Moxa doesn't just stimulate Qi; it replenishes the vital life force. This Chinese medicine treatment brings nourishment in the form of pure yang that potentially rejuvenates the immune system  and restores dysfunctional internal environments. These functions raise  the question: can moxa be an effective treatment for Long COVID, which appears to feed off a weakened immune system? In this conversation with Merlin Young, we talk about the mission of Moxafrica in designing a cheap, adaptable, and safe intervention for COVID long-haulers. We explore how his non-profit is trying to replicate the positive results they saw in moxa treatment for antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis. And how the results of their research could make a difference for long-haulers and provide our East Asian medicine community with valuable research on how moxa might help with the sequela of the coronavirus. Listen into this discussion on Moxafrica's investigation into the potential effectiveness of moxa as a treatment for Long COVID.

Today I was joined by the brilliant Larissa Mosca to discuss all things related to acupuncture and eastern philosophy. This includes what could be causing a growth of acupuncture in the west, western doctors and medicine, energising yourself, and more. Larissa is a fully qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncturist, having graduated with first class honours from Manchester Metropolitan University. She runs her own practice just outside of Preston which I often attend.

On today's episode, I share how a woman's menstrual cycle can reflect the nature of yin and yang.  This is a fascinating topic that I was amazed to learn when I began specializing in fertility health.   Being able to observe these types of patterns in your cycle can help tremendously when trying to conceive as it can alert you to subtle imbalances and when to reach out to a doctor.    Note: always speak to a qualified acupuncturist about herbs and moxa.  A great way to find a local acupuncturist who specializes in fertility is searching for an ABORM certified practitioner which can be found here: https://aborm.org   For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewholesomelotusfertility/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/

針灸 Needles and Moxa, it is right there in the Chinese characters that are translated as “acupuncture.” Moxa is as fundamental to our practices as needles. The applications of burning mugwort run the gamut from cheap acrid Chinese pole moxa to ultra refined sweet scented Japanese moxa. And the techniques vary as well from the smoky moxa boxes to the whisper thread of smoke from the tiny rice grains. In this conversation with Hannah Swift we discuss not just her love of moxa, but fascination for the plant itself. Where it grows, the soils and terrain it likes to inhabit, how it shapes the local economies in Japan famous for their moxa and the process itself of turning leaves into the medicine we like to ignite. Listen into this discussion of leaves and smoke, and how the scent of moxa itself can be part of a connective healing process.  Head on over to the https://www.qiological.com/repairing-the-world-with-moxa (show notes page) for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview. 

Today on the podcast, we have the performer stand-up comedian, author, and Love Your Diagnosis podcaster Lainie Chait (more famously known as Electro Girl) sharing her incredible story, wisdom, and revelations from more than 20 years living symbiotically with Epilepsy. Lainie's journey with what they call 'the invisible illness' (Epilepsy) is a testimony to intuitive holistic healing and the power of transmuting trauma into something beautiful. Diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 19, Lainie suddenly found herself in the depths of managing an illness that her teenage self wasn't ready to accept. What followed; An integrative journey spanning over two decades of denial, rebellion, acceptance, and the birthing of a phenomenal woman dedicated to inspiring others. Lainie has written and self-published a book, Electro Girl (2017), performed a one-woman stage show, done stand-up comedy, and now hosts a podcast dedicated to sharing the stories of people like herself, who have defied the odds of their diagnosis. There is no doubt that Lainie has taken the road less traveled with her approach to living with Epilepsy. Not willing to accept a lifetime of prescribed pharmaceutical medication, she thrust herself into the throes of trauma healing, alternative medicine, research, visceral guidance, and lots of trial and error. Almost 300 tonic clonic, grand mal seizures (aka the big ones) later, she is here with a message for anyone who's had a dire diagnosis to jump in the driver's seat, direct their journey, and believe in the power to heal; However that may look. This is a truly inspiring episode laced with comedic cure and a potent message of why we need to handle our brain, nervous system, and ourselves with care. Tune in.     "You've got a choice when you walk out of that doctor's office; Are you going to let someone else take charge of your life? Or are you going to be in the driver's seat? If you have to use the medicine, great, but I encourage people through my experience and other people's stories to be back in the driver's seat of this. And research, that's been the message so far from everyone. At the end of each podcast, I ask everyone to say a little tip for someone going through it. And it's always research, go and get second opinions and be in it. Be right in it, right in it. Don't let anyone control how you look at your health and how you heal".   - Lainie Chait     Mason and Lainie discuss:   Trauma and Epilepsy. Understanding Epilepsy. What triggers seizures? Healing through comedy. Over-prescribed pharmaceuticals. Allopathic vs holistic healing approach. Lainie's healing protocols and supplements.  Lainie's diet; What she avoids and what helps.  Taking care of the brain and nervous system.   Who is Lainie Chait?  Lainie Chait is an author, performer, podcaster, and stand-up comedian. Lainie is a big advocate for people treating themselves holistically, and exploring healing modalities outside of allopathic diagnosis/treatment. In 2017 Lainie self-published her autobiography, ‘Electro Girl', a story of her journey living a symbiotic existence with Epilepsy for 16 years. In 2021 Lainie started a podcast called Love your Diagnosis, which takes a weekly look into the lives of people who have been diagnosed with a condition/illness. The interviews find a flow and dialogue around the choices and changes people start to make in their lives when they learn that they have to live with dis-ease, partially brought about by their choices. Lainie believes a diagnosis can be seen as a gift if you look at it as a second chance to get to know and treat yourself in a more loving way.

My little thing that I'm going to bring out, malfunctioned, but I fixed that because of retrograde, which is good.   Mason: (00:15) I had, I think, for the first time ever not... I hit record, and then I'm going to blame the laptop and the fact that that just didn't record. All right, but good. We're off and running again.   Lainie Chait: (00:27) We are.   Mason: (00:29) You're just an interesting person. I mean, everyone's had a little bit of an intro, but do you want to just get everyone caught up on who you are and what you're working on?   Lainie Chait: (00:40) This book is part of a bigger... Well, this was actually the start of it. I wrote this book, because I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 19, and I just wasn't prepared to accept that I had it. I was just not interested in knowing that my brain was going to work against me to live a normal life. Yeah? This is like a dialogue around my journey and of basically how I came to deny it, rebel against it, accept it, and then use supplementation and even products of yours, which is why I want to... been so interested to talk to you, about how to control and manage the seizures and the brain farts with a holistic approach, not just throwing pills into my face.   Mason: (01:32) How long did you get swept up in the, this is your new normal?   Lainie Chait: (01:37) I hid it for the first four years, in my teenage years. I was too afraid to tell anyone about it. At that stage, I had the seizures that were just kind of jerking, and just like jerks, and maybe hiccups and things like that, but I hadn't had any tonic-clonic seizures, the big fall to the ground seizures. The scary ones that people are often scared about. It was only when I started drinking and dating, and introducing teenage stuff into your life that you're just not prepared for really, that the big seizures started to happen. At 19, my mum saw that going on and then it was seven years of doctors.   Mason: (02:24) What's the... Okay, because you call it, it's like the silent...   Lainie Chait: (02:27) The silent disease, I think they call it.   Mason: (02:29) Disease. Yeah. I mean, I was like is disease even there, but yeah, that's I guess, kind of appropriate based on the west.   Lainie Chait: (02:34) Oh, no. Invisible illness.   Mason: (02:35) Yeah. The invisible illness. Yeah. It's a little bit more gentle.   Lainie Chait: (02:38) Yeah, it is. Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (02:43) You were bringing it up in reading your email. I was like, "Yeah," and I know maybe a couple of people that have told me, in the past, how they dealt with their epilepsy, but just the walking around while you have a sign, that did like you, that you have a sign on telling people, any point you're going to be going into a fit. You can't do that, so how is your life get affected?   Lainie Chait: (03:05) Well, I guess for me, luckily, because there's 40 different types of epilepsy, right? Which I didn't know that at the time. I just thought there was the small ones called absence seizures, where your brain just shuts down for a second, and you have like a minute, maybe two minutes where you're just out, but you're not jerking or you don't drop or anything like that. They're called absence seizures. I did have a few of them when I was younger, but for me, it's all been about the grand mal, the tonic-clonic ones.   Lainie Chait: (03:36) I saw my first seizure in hospital when they did all the tests and I had to stay inside and get my head all... They had a big turban with EEG and I was hooked up to a machine, so I was about 19 when that happened, and I saw and heard my first seizure from someone else in hospital doing the same thing. From that moment on my ego and myself went, "Oh, there's no way, there is absolutely no way I'm going to let anyone see me like this, no way. It's too scary.   Mason: (04:07) So you just stopped heading out.   Lainie Chait: (04:09) No, I just hid it. If I felt like I was going to have one I'd fuck off and do it alone, Mm-hmm (affirmative). Or, risking death. My ego was stronger than my logic to get help or tell people, or... Yeah, and the fact that I kind of intuitively knew that it was an emotional... That I'd created it. I know that's weird to say, because it developed at 14 when my parents got divorced, it's not really in my family history, and the triggers that still align now are still about stuff to do with abandonment, stuff like that.   Lainie Chait: (04:55) If I'm in certain situations that trigger me, there's still wired in there somewhere, even though as an adult I've totally dealt with all of that logically and done cathartic everything's, but somewhere in the wiring, there's still that little faded memory of something to do with what triggers them. That I still find really hard to break. Yeah. It's really interesting.   Mason: (05:25) That still set you off?   Lainie Chait: (05:27) Yeah. But it's not everything, it's just certain things. Like flashing lights, that's not my type of epilepsy.   Mason: (05:34) Yeah, right.   Lainie Chait: (05:35) I myth bust in this as well. I do comedy about epilepsy. I know you do comedy. One of the reasons I started to do stand up was that I wanted to do a 45 minute show on making epilepsy funny, because when you're living it, that was the way that I found that I could get over it. Understand it, break through it, because otherwise it will destroy you actually. It's a pretty shit condition.   Mason: (06:07) Did you, within yourself, you made it funny or did you make it like, "If I'm going to embrace it, so it's not embarrassing. I'm going to like tell everyone, in a comedic way, that I'm dealing with this"?   Lainie Chait: (06:19) Okay. Here's a joke I made up. "Why did the epileptic chicken cross the road?"   Mason: (06:25) It's already funny, yeah. Why?   Lainie Chait: (06:27) "Because it couldn't fit on the sidewalk." I mean, it's not funny, but it's funny. Anyway, therefore I think that's it. Yeah. Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (06:40) Do other people that have the epilepsy get offended by you taking the piss out of it, or have you got a hall pass?   Lainie Chait: (06:46) I think, in this world of PC, way too PC, I've definitely got a hall pass. I got a hall pass as a comedian, to being a woman, so I can say anything I like about being a woman, epilepsy, and being Jewish.   Mason: (07:00) Are you Jewish as well?   Lainie Chait: (07:01) Yeah.   Mason: (07:02) Gosh. Yeah.   Lainie Chait: (07:02) I've got passes in comedy that...   Mason: (07:04) It's like what Lee, the dentist in Seinfeld, going for complete immunity, complete comedy immunity. Yeah. And becoming a Jew was the last one, I think, for him.   Lainie Chait: (07:18) That's right. I remember that. I remember that. Yeah. I don't know. I think the hall pass is out of respect, because I'm allowing people to understand it rather than be scared of it. The jokes that I make about it is more about looking at it from a perspective of, "Oh, I don't need to be scared of that then. Okay." All the things, that you can swallow, that there's a stigma or a myth that you can swallow your tongue, bring light to that, because it's so not... That's just impossible. To swallow a tongue. It's connected. The myth is to swallow the tongue, but actually, because it falls back into the mouth it blocks the airways and that's when the trouble can happen, so just will, as a muscle that's limp, block the airway.   Mason: (08:13) What about treatment-wise? What were you told the rest of your life was going to look like after you got diagnosed?   Lainie Chait: (08:20) Medication for ever. No late nights, no parties.   Mason: (08:27) Is this at 14?   Lainie Chait: (08:30) No, I hid it.   Mason: (08:32) You hid it from like everyone even-   Lainie Chait: (08:33) Everyone.   Mason: (08:33) Yeah, right, medical profession.   Lainie Chait: (08:35) Everyone. It was my little dirty little secret, but I didn't know what was going on. It's in the book though.   Mason: (08:43) Yeah, okay.   Lainie Chait: (08:43) Very interesting.   Mason: (08:50) Everyone listening, we've gone live on Instagram as well. The book we're referring to, I know I've already mentioned it, but it's Electro Girl, but yeah, if you hear us talking to the viewers.   Lainie Chait: (09:01) Yes. We've got two sides. Yeah. It was the doctors. It was lots of tests all the time. Yeah, it was pretty grim, and I guess being quite a stubborn personality in myself, when I was diagnosed, I just kind of went, "Oh, I'm caught, I'm caught. I've got no choice. I'll just sort of bend over for a little bit," and then the medicine, it just kept being thrown one on top of the other, because one wasn't enough and then another wasn't enough, and so there was a cocktail. That was creating all these co-morbidities of depression and I'm like, "Fuck, do I really actually want to live like this when I think that it's emotional?" So I brought that to the doctor's attention and they're like, "Nah, it's not. It's something in your brain."   Mason: (09:51) Do doctors know what emotions are?   Lainie Chait: (09:53) I don't know. Any doctors out there? Just text in.   Mason: (09:59) But, I mean, that's a common theme. I think everyone listening to this, not just on this podcast, probably everything that everyone's listening to, just realising there's that crusty institution that's so good at particular things, but then stepping outside and acknowledging, even when... I don't know whether you're an example of this, you may just say you go back to that doctor and say, "Hey, dead set, look at this. This happens, epilepsy happens, because of emotions, and then I deal with those emotions down the track, and I see symptomatology go down." I'm just kind of like putting words in your mouth, and I'll let you tell the story of what actually happened.   Mason: (10:33) Or it's the same, I've got friends with cancer all of a sudden coming back and the tumor is halved in size and they go, "Oh gosh, whatever you're doing," it's the same thing, "whatever you're doing, keep on doing it." "Do you want to know what's happening?" "No, absolutely not. You're an outlier. You're a bloody miracle, but I don't want to tell anyone about that miracle, because..." I don't know. It's one problem.   Lainie Chait: (10:56) Well, it's about trials you see, and in a world of being sued, they have got the blinkers on a little bit. I mean the involvement of CBD, maybe some doctors have gone, "Oh, okay. I'll just, maybe 45 degree my blinkers a little bit," because there is some evidence around that, but even with what you do and making claims, and I worked for the Happy Herb Company for many, many years and I mean, it's all just about claims, and what you can and can't say, and what you can and can't... Yeah. Claim that works or doesn't work, it's so individual. Yeah. My doctor still kind of says to me that whatever I'm doing, it's sort of like, he humours me. It's like "Great, great. That's really good." Yeah, exactly the same sort of thing, but he won't kind of give it a lot of merit.   Mason: (11:55) I guess, it's not his problem either. He works within an institution that's effective in some capacity and that's like all doctors. They're not revolutionaries. If you're revolutionary, you don't go into one of the most stagnant institutions that you can possibly go into.   Lainie Chait: (12:13) Yeah.   Mason: (12:13) You just hope sometimes they're not bought into the religion of it, and they're at least realise, "Yeah, this is the way we do things over here, and I hope that everyone else has the capacity to go and evolve along with us, for our collective intention of keeping humanity healthy."   Lainie Chait: (12:28) That's right. I suppose they're very, fix the symptom, and alternative medicine are, look at where the problem's coming from. That's kind of, intuitively, what I decided, that that's the approach I wanted to take. Seven years I gave it a go and I became a zombie, and started smoking a lot of gunjah to balance out the fact that I felt like a zombie and that just made me more zombie. At 28, I just woke up and went, "Oh, fuck I can't do this anymore at all," so I did that classic, stereotypical, Saturn return. Quit the job, left the boyfriend, bought a Kombi, drove up to Nimbin.   Mason: (13:09) Mm-hmm (affirmative). Nice. That's fitting.   Lainie Chait: (13:12) Yes. You've been wanting to say that, haven't you?   Mason: (13:17) Oh, that was 10 seconds ago, I was like, "All right, all right, I've got one."   Lainie Chait: (13:21) You've been dying to say it.   Mason: (13:22) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Lainie Chait: (13:25) Yeah, I just thought there's got to be people that understand that there's another way to do this, and there was. Not long after that, I met Ray and Eliza from Happy Herbs, and it was that fate thing. Yeah. Oh, look, there's just so many incarnations of it, because I was then so committed and so obsessed with healing it. Curing it though, instead of... I went all the way over the other side. I went, "All right, fuck you medicine. I'm going to go over here and completely just immerse myself in everything, and I want to cure this. I want to be the first girl to cure her epilepsy," because I kept using that word cure. Cure, cure, and that was a big mistake.   Mason: (14:15) Was the mistake... I mean, because there is an initiation period where the way you approach it, if you come from a colonised Western medical mind set, you have to use the word cure to even get... but then I think we see it a lot in the health scene as people just hang on too long in being a patient. You're trying to work with the natural, but with the kinds of conversation of the synthetic Western model, and you hang in there too long. Is that what you mean?   Lainie Chait: (14:47) Yeah. I hung in there a bit, but I think the dialogue should have been more about how can I treat and manage this, because there is a part of my brain that has got a low seizure threshold. Yeah?   Mason: (14:58) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Lainie Chait: (14:58) That part is the part of science, and genetics and chemistry that I'll never cure. Yeah?   Mason: (15:07) That was being off in never-never land a little too much thinking, "All that data doesn't apply to me." That's how I was with my mum when my mum had an aneurysm. It ripped me down emotionally, because I was like, "Nah, we're going to defy the odds here," and you probably did, and we did as well, but when you're that out of reality, and pie in the sky, and looking for miracles, it just doesn't help that much, does it?   Lainie Chait: (15:33) Yeah. Well, I would pay someone to heal me. That was the other thing, I'd be like, "Here, take the money that I really should be paying rent for or buying some very healthy food for. Take this because wow, I've read your thing and it said, 'you can perform miracles,'" so I would pay, just a shit tonne of healers, of every different modality. Moxa sticks. I mean, who the fuck can cure epilepsy with a moxa stick? Tell me.   Mason: (16:02) It depends on whether they've looked at the classics. The classic Chinese texts maybe have some secret little formula there.   Lainie Chait: (16:08) Well, it didn't frigging work.   Mason: (16:10) No, I imagine it wouldn't. It doesn't feel like it's in the ballpark of moxa.   Lainie Chait: (16:17) But I was a little bit obsessed to do it that way, so I went all the way over that side and things were working, but there's still the underlying problem, and the story that was in my brain, and the neural pathways that were leading to the seizures were still in place. You can't outsource that. You can't outsource how your brain is wired. That's the work you have to do yourself, and that's what I didn't realise in my twenties and early thirties, is that I actually had to go deep into the ugliness of when they started, why they started. I created a journal for about four months in my late twenties to document everything around what was happening.   Lainie Chait: (17:13) I started to go, "All right, maybe moxa sticks, won't cure it. Let's see what actually else is going on here," so I wrote down what I ate, what I drank, who I'd slept with. Did I fight with anyone? What supplements was I taking? Everything, and then got a list of actually, "Oh, there's a bit of a pattern occurring here," and then started to really appreciate what I was bringing to the table. How I was making myself an epileptic. How I had created this, and so I've been on a journey ever since to just go from total denial and rebellion to now preaching a message of personal responsibility and what you bring to your conditions. That's why I wrote that. You don't have to have epilepsy to get messages from this. It's actually quite across the board, but it does, obviously, specify my journey with epilepsy.   Mason: (18:18) That personal responsibility one, and I think that freaks people out. We just came out with a little... We're testing out having a line of apparel called Sovereign, and essentially exploring that. I think there's a lot of people looking at the common law kind of sovereignty, kind of side of things that's been hijacked over there versus the sovereignty of your greatest capacity to take on responsibility for your reality. I think people get confused, because just if you start taking on extreme personal responsibility, especially in a healing sense, does that mean you don't go and interact with particular institutions sort of thing? Not the case.   Lainie Chait: (19:00) Not the case. I think you need guidance, mentors and all that sort of stuff as well, because also again, you can over heal. You can get into that space where you're not living life anymore and you're just like going, "Oh, I shouldn't eat that because it might do this," you know?   Mason: (19:19) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Lainie Chait: (19:19) It's this fine balance of what personal responsibility looks like to you and how you can still enjoy your life. I don't wear a halo. I know that there's stuff that I do now that potentially will bring on some electrical unrest, but I go, "Well, you know what? I've done really well to be alive." I've had nearly 300 grand mal seizures. Most of which were on my own. There is a thing called SUDEP. Have you heard of SUDEP? It's an acronym, it's sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy, and it happens around that age group where I chose to have just a lot of seizures. Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (20:04) Okay. When you're taking personal responsibility, is that in the fact that I'm inside my body, I'm going to be ultimately the one that's going to be able to put this much time and understanding what's emotionally triggering me or what environmentally was doing it?   Lainie Chait: (20:18) What foods you're eating that might be contributing to the way that your body functions.   Mason: (20:25) Do you talk about what you found the pattern to be?   Lainie Chait: (20:28) Yeah.   Mason: (20:29) Can we get a snippet of it?   Lainie Chait: (20:32) I should have got a few chapters-   Mason: (20:34) A few excerpts.   Lainie Chait: (20:34) ... a few paragraphs ready. I found that, what was diet related, yeah? Was obviously sugar and too much alcohol. The way I was thinking about relationships, because it all stemmed from when my parents got divorced, there was all this abandonment story in there about men, so I would attract that in my life. Then when I would attract men that would show kind of abandonment behaviour or things that would trigger that, that would just set me off incredibly. There's a type of epilepsy now, called catamenial epilepsy, which I used to bring to my doctor and say, "It's really weird. I just keep getting a seizure a couple of days before I get my period," and they're like, "Yeah. Okay. Well, it's probably not related." Now, it's an actual... It is a particular type of epilepsy that's related to hormones.   Mason: (21:41) Mm-hmm (affirmative). But it wasn't in the textbook at the time.   Lainie Chait: (21:50) It wasn't. It wasn't. Hormones. Yeah. I didn't know it then that you could supplement certain parts of your body to compensate for that hormone change, at the time that happens just before you...   Mason: (22:03) Supplement even particular hormonal cascades, you mean? Or...   Lainie Chait: (22:06) Yeah. There's so much around now that I don't particularly take anymore, but at the time there was like perhaps... Can't even think of the herb that I was taking just before I got my period, just to sort of balance out that oestrogen, progesterone sort of imbalance that might then set... Also, internal temperature. If you're internally hot, and that's a Chinese thing as well, if you're hot inside, then that can trigger it as well.   Mason: (22:42) Mm-hmm (affirmative). Yeah. You could almost like pinpoint what kind of symptomatology, and excess heat, and excess liver heat, and all those kinds of things.   Lainie Chait: (22:56) All that.   Mason: (22:56) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Lainie Chait: (22:56) Unless you find the right practitioner at the right time, which I did, because when I moved here, I saw a lady called Ann-Mary. She was working in the Integrative Mullum, which doesn't exist anymore, her and her hubby, and she just was spot on. She did all the tests. She worked with me. I trusted her completely. We were doing collation and she got me starting to think about magnesium. She got me starting to think about there's too much copper in my body and all the-   Mason: (23:28) Oh, what a legend.   Lainie Chait: (23:29) Yeah. It was like this amazing epiphany to find the right practitioner, who just guided me in the right way to actually start balancing out what was going on. At the time, also, CBD wasn't even on the radar, because this is nearly 20 years ago, so I had to go looking for little backyard people to...   Mason: (23:54) Yeah. There were a few around back then.   Lainie Chait: (23:55) Back then, there was a few around. Yeah, I tell you, they lived in squalor, but it's not about their lifestyle, but the thing is-   Mason: (24:05) And look at them now. Look at them.   Lainie Chait: (24:09) Palaces. Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (24:10) Yeah.   Lainie Chait: (24:15) But the one thing about that was there was not so much information. I couldn't get the dose rate. I was experimenting, big time. It backfired for me.   Mason: (24:26) In what way? Just the non-standardisation?   Lainie Chait: (24:29) Yeah. Backfired in the fact that I was probably taking a strain of CBD that didn't... That I was taking too much. There were no dose rates. It was kind of like, "Here, take this bottle and see you." No consistency in the medicine, obviously, because it wasn't really a medicine at the time. It was just, "Here's some..." So I overdosed. Not that you can overdose, it's a really shit word.   Mason: (24:53) Saturated?   Lainie Chait: (24:53) I saturated myself to the point where it was the wrong strain for what I needed, and it made me more depressed and more anxious. Then, because of that, that was the catalyst to go back to Melbourne after being here for quite a few years. Go back, and sort some shit out, because it was too unpredictable. Yeah. Lots of amazing stories.   Mason: (25:26) It's like the wild west of treating yourself naturally back then. It's kind of on a platter. I wonder how many people though, because epilepsy doesn't... I mean, I just haven't thought about epilepsy, but is it one of those ones that at the moment where people are... One of the ones, I know that's insensitive, but are people immediately thinking, "Right. I'm going to go and get a naturopath here. I'm going to get my minerals tested, get my hormone panels." Is there any correlation there, do you think at all, in the wider population?   Lainie Chait: (25:53) Definitely not. It's fear-based, because of the stigma around it. It's, my neurologist knows better than me. There's a lot of fear, because to have a seizure takes... They say that the impact on your body of the seizures that I have, the tonic-clonic ones, is like running a 14 kilometre marathon in that two to three minutes that you're on the floor. People don't want to experience that. It's also hard for the people watching, because I've also had experiences where people watching me, there's not much they can do, and so they go internal and it becomes about them, so they get post-traumatic kind of like stress, not a disorder. Just at the time, they're just like, "Fuck, that was intense, and I couldn't do anything to help, and I don't want to see that again."   Mason: (26:48) It's like they get victimised, based on their own lack of capacity to do anything. I wouldn't say incompetence, but ...   Lainie Chait: (26:59) It's just lack of knowing, I think, and having faith in themselves, because there are people that would just be all over it, be like, "Yep. Okay. I've got this. She'll come around in a couple of minutes. It'll be fine. Start watching, fuck off." Yeah, and others are like, "Oh my God, what do I do? Ring the ambulance. Oh, I can't deal with this," and then outsource it, but you don't actually need to do that. That's part of what my work now is about. Is just to educate so that... Because I believe, Mason, seriously, through what's going on, on the planet now, and how fragile the brain is. Anyone can have a seizure. Anyone with a brain, any mammal, animal, human, warm-blooded can have a seizure in the wrong environment, and at the moment what's happening is the very wrong environment in the world. You are considered an epileptic if you have two seizures, that's it. If you have two seizures in your life, you are then claimed by the epilepsy people.   Mason: (28:04) Are there lots of different types of medication or is it just kind of like a few standards?   Lainie Chait: (28:10) There's a few standards that they rely on. There's a lot more than when I was treated 30 years ago. They're not designed specifically for epilepsy, so it's a massive guessing game. They've got their like, "Okay, you're displaying with these kinds of things, so we'll try this." Yeah? "And if not, we'll throw that on top." Yeah. I mean, I've heard about lots of people. I mean, I, myself was on 1500 milligrammes of different drugs at one stage, but that was just way too much. People are on 3000 milligrammes of drugs. I mean, that may not actually, in this conversation, mean anything, but it's a lot, it's a lot.   Mason: (29:01) Yeah. I mean, it's slightly... I mean, I have a friend at the moment, she was having... Well, she didn't know what was going on there for a few weeks and then got the diagnosis of been a brain tumour and then was told that she was having these little fits, and now she's been diagnosed as epileptic, and that's the one medication that she's on while she's trying to find her way around that whole conversation and getting on. Are you on medication at the moment? Do you mind me asking?   Lainie Chait: (29:32) I had a hip replacement this year and it was advised that I go back on, what they call a small dose, but what I call big enough. Yeah? For someone that wanted to do it without it, but actually, because it was the unknown, and because I've been fighting the medical industry for so long, and pharmaceutical industry, and going... This time, it was all just about yes, because this was all foreign to me. To be cut open and things that I hadn't experienced, so I didn't know how my brain was going to...   Mason: (30:06) Acute times like that, Western medicine comes in.   Lainie Chait: (30:08) Yeah. That's right.   Mason: (30:10) Just like a little bit of padding. That's like what I'm watching my friend go through just trying to have, cool, get that little bit of padding, get that diagnostics. Utilising it appropriately, and then for the fits are one thing and then the tumour is another, but the...   Lainie Chait: (30:26) But they all stem from the same thing, which is abnormal electrical activity. That's really all it is. That's all epilepsy is. It's abnormal electrical activity that is fueled by fuck, who knows, everyone's different. I think there's a lot of people with epilepsy that are living lives that bring them on. That are just ignoring stuff that they've been maybe just too hard trauma. There's big dialogue around trauma at the moment.   Mason: (30:59) Huge, isn't it? Yeah.   Lainie Chait: (31:00) Yeah.   Mason: (31:00) That's great.   Lainie Chait: (31:00) It's really interesting. Really interesting. Yeah, the trauma's just too deep and too dark to go into, and too painful, and so it represents in abnormal electrical activity that perhaps could be padded with dealing with some of that.   Mason: (31:17) What have you found has been effective for you? To go into the trauma into the dark places?   Lainie Chait: (31:26) Well, no one would ever let me do an Ayahuasca journey because the facilitators were too nervous, I suppose, is what has been reflected back to me. I haven't been able to journey in that way, so it's all had to be talking, experiencing, watching, observing, understanding, and kind of making peace with writing this book, I suppose. Yeah. I think I went to a hypnotist once and this past life... Depending on who you talk to, this past life stuff coming for me to fix it, and find peace. It was a test, it was a fricking good test, I tell you.   Mason: (32:28) Yeah. It's like, "Yeah, thanks for that."   Lainie Chait: (32:33) But, it's been such a gift. Such a gift, because I have a really big understanding of how you create your reality. Yeah. When I didn't, I would be on the floor convulsing, if I went against that.   Mason: (32:58) I was going to ask you about neurofeedback and that's the neurofeedback, I guess, right there for you. It's like a giant neurofeedback machine, which the brain is at all times, but whether you've been intentional about the way that you're creating your life or not, for you to go to have that much of it extremely thrown in your face.   Lainie Chait: (33:17) Well recently, what was interesting is that I was seizure free for a while, and then I had to move house. I had to move house four times within a year. Each time, of those four times, two weeks after I'd moved in, I had a seizure. When I looked and analysed, and maybe had a look into that, what was happening, it was more about coming back to that place when my home was torn apart at 14, and I didn't know, and I didn't feel safe, and I didn't have a base. That made heaps of sense to me. Why would it happen every time I moved two weeks after? It's this feeling of just instability.   Mason: (34:08) Yeah. That wouldn't be, because I think they say that moving house is in the top two most stressful things you can do, but if it was cortisol level related, that would most likely be during the move, but no.   Lainie Chait: (34:21) No. No, it was kind of when I was just feeling a little bit settled, and then I would wake up and within... Mine usually happened in the morning, so I would... Yeah, it would happen. I'd get warning, and now I know to brace myself. I used to just go, "No, I'm going to win this, not you, brain." That could be a good time to bring out... Oh, so me and my brain have a dialogue.   Mason: (34:54) [crosstalk 00:34:54].   Lainie Chait: (34:54) This is going to be hard for people listening, but ...   Mason: (34:58) It's okay. Let's get some fun voices.   Lainie Chait: (35:02) I turned this book into a stage show, and the best way that I could explain about the dialogue between me and my brain, and the relationship, was to actually get a puppet made of my brain. So if you could see it, "Hello, I'm Norah, how are you? Named after Bloody Norah, which if you're an Australian, it's very easy." We did a show together at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, and I got her in... I had different LED lights put in her. "Yeah. One's really exciting. Look at this one. Whoa, that's like..."   Mason: (35:43) I'm looking at Lainie's purple brain. The brain's got her hand up the clacker, and there's some big, bright, fantastic lipstick, and now it is lit up like a Christmas tree.   Lainie Chait: (35:55) Yep. This is the explanation of what happens in the electrical storm, during a seizure, because there's no pathways that it can relate to. Right? Then this one, you can explain that one.   Mason: (36:09) Well, it's all looking connected. We look like we got some flow electrically.   Lainie Chait: (36:15) There's a little bit of flow. This is more about trying to find, after a seizure, just trying to find the pathways back to what normal is. Yeah? What a functioning... This is just kind of going, "Oh yeah. Okay. What's that one. Where can I find out my arm moves?"   Mason: (36:36) What colour are we there again?   Lainie Chait: (36:36) This is just normal. "Normal. That's what you call yourself. Huh? Normal. I don't think so." This is just a normal brain. "Hello?" Yeah, so-   Mason: (36:51) Okay, [inaudible 00:36:51] the back.   Lainie Chait: (36:51) Okay, [inaudible 00:36:51] the back. Yeah.   Mason: (36:51) When was the fringe show? Obviously it was 2019, maybe?   Lainie Chait: (36:56) Yeah.   Mason: (36:57) Was it? Yeah.   Lainie Chait: (36:57) Certainly was.   Mason: (36:57) Thought it [inaudible 00:36:59] been on before?   Lainie Chait: (37:00) Yeah. I'll leave her, this one's the nice one. I'll leave it on that. Yeah, it was 2019, and not only made her Scottish, I don't know why, because you're a comedian so you push yourself, I suppose. Never been a puppeteer, so I was struggling with so many firsts. So many firsts. Using a puppet, being on stage and learning my lines for a one hour show with dialogue between me and her. It was amazing, amazing. Used lots of lion's mane, Mason, during that time.   Mason: (37:37) Did you? Yeah, cool.   Lainie Chait: (37:38) Got off the booze. Yeah. Used a shit tonne of lion's mane around then. Yes. It just worked incredible. Yeah.   Mason: (37:48) I mean, she is wonderful. May I say so?   Lainie Chait: (37:51) Do you want to feel her?   Mason: (37:51) Absolutely.   Lainie Chait: (37:51) Do you want to put your hand in the clacker?   Mason: (37:54) I do want to put my hand in her clacker.   Lainie Chait: (37:56) It doesn't... Oh, you did. You changed her.   Mason: (38:00) Oh, I changed her. Oh, wow. Oh whoa. Oh, now we're on.   Lainie Chait: (38:02) "Oh, he's turning me on. He's turning me on.I don't think I've ever had a man's hand in my clacker."   Mason: (38:08) Well. Oh no. I turned her off.   Lainie Chait: (38:12) Yeah.   Mason: (38:12) God, I have. Oh yeah. Oh gosh. Well, yeah, you got to be on. You need nimble fingers.   Lainie Chait: (38:24) Yeah. Just, yeah, you... She gives me a lot of shit, so I tell a story and she's like, "That's not how it actually went. You drank too much and you fucked too many guys." Anyway... Oh, sorry.   Mason: (38:39) That's okay. So she's cheeky?   Lainie Chait: (38:41) She's really cheeky. She's sassy.   Mason: (38:47) I understand, comedy for me has been healing. It's been a way for me to reclaim parts of myself, which I'd allowed to be swallowed up by my egoic pursuit to be something else, and also, getting swallowed up by my own stage persona, and comedy was my way to take the piss out of myself and come back down to earth. I can imagine for you, this on a whole nother level.   Lainie Chait: (39:10) It is.   Mason: (39:11) Do you get that stage clarity when you're up there? It's like when you're in your zone, it's like a professional tennis player, the ball slows down and all of a sudden you can be in your show, and you can be in your lines, and you can be fretting about what line's coming up, but then you go above yourself and you start doing... You've got some kind of healing and observation about what's actually... Making connections that are beyond... You couldn't have done it anywhere else, except on stage and in the middle of a show.   Lainie Chait: (39:39) Well, that's where I plan to get to. The director that did the first run with me, she was amazing. She was very lines based and I'm on stage, when I can riff a bit and I can get off that script. I work so much better like that, but with this particular first run of the show, and if anyone's a director out there I am looking for one, because I'm looking for... to bring this back to the stage. It's a fantastic show actually. Yeah. I'm looking for a way to be able to have a little bit of fun with it, but a little bit off script as well, but still knowing what I want the message to be, but having a bit more of a riff with her, because she's talking for all brains. She's sitting on her pedestal talking for all people's brains saying, "Take care of us, just take care of us. We're everything"   Mason: (40:49) Before we go, where are you at in practical terms? What are your favourite little brain healing activities and supplements, or whatever it is?   Lainie Chait: (41:01) It's a good question. I'm taking some CBD, and I am also taking lion's mane. I am taking vitamin B, B12. Very good for... and magnesium. Now, I kind of let the supplement call me. It's like, "Okay, well, you need a bit more of this, or your adrenals are a bit low, so I'll go for the Jing.   Mason: (41:30) Then you go intuitive after a while, don't you?   Lainie Chait: (41:33) You do, you just do. I mean, supplements or vitamins are a bit... The same with any kind of medicine. It's like, you don't want to rely too much on any one thing. You want your body to sort of like get a big hit of it and then see what it can do itself. In the work that I'm doing now, can I just plug my podcast? [crosstalk 00:41:55] one.   Mason: (41:55) Yeah, absolutely.   Lainie Chait: (41:56) I now do a podcast called Love your Diagnosis, and what that is celebrating, is every week that I have a person that's been diagnosed with something, that they've found the light. They've gone on the allopathic journey and gone, "Oh, this might not be everything that I need," and they've done exactly what I did, and have just gone and riffed with the rest of the world and alternative medicines, and found ways to treat and manage, not cure, but treat and manage the stuff that's going on for them, so they can live a really fun, healthy lifestyle. Yeah, if you've got a story like that, please hit me up. I'd love to have you on the podcast.   Mason: (42:38) I mean, that is fascinating, because that's a dark night of the soul sometimes. Like a lot of people, it's too scary to go into that darkness, to go off on your own. Yeah. I mean, especially if you think that it's one or the other. You just said allopathic going, "Okay, maybe that's not everything, and I need to make some other considerations," but that's you. Again, I'm watching a friend go through that at the moment, going, it's either open up your brain, they take your skull off and cut out this tumour, or go down your own route for however long. It's that moment, those crossroads, I guess. You talk about those crossroads a lot.   Lainie Chait: (43:15) Totally. Yeah, and all sorts of different diagnosis, and some really slips of gold in there for people, because I think when you get diagnosed with something like this.   Lainie Chait: (43:39) You've got a choice, when you walk out of that doctor's office, am I going to let someone else take charge of my life? Or am I going to be in the driver's seat of it? If I have to use the medicine, great, but I encourage people through other people's stories to be back in the driver's seat of this. Research, that's been the message so far from everyone at the end, because I ask everyone to say a little tip for someone going through it. Research, don't take your first... Always go and get second opinions and be in it, be right in it, right in it. Don't let anyone control how you look at your health and how you heal.   Mason: (44:27) That's where Western, I guess, comfort path of least resistance, automation. That's where it can come and bite you on the arse. If you've been living that life of just cushy Western life, and you get that first diagnosis and you go, "Cool, got no choice. This is what you do." Right? It's a shame, just how much we've given away that power. Not to say that we don't make a choice fully to go allopathic or whatever.   Lainie Chait: (44:58) Right. Yeah. But I think there are also a lot of people that are like, just give me the magic pill. I want to forget about it. I just want to get back to normal. I mean, we're seeing that today, still. It's fear-based. It just requires a lot less time to maybe take the pills, but I think at the end of the day, there's a sacrifice that you give over when you have that mentality of just throw the pills down. There is a sacrifice, whether it's stated or not, I believe there's a sacrifice your handover when you say, "Give me the pills," to your overall life on this planet and living to its fullest.   Mason: (45:46) Mm-hmm (affirmative). It is confronting. I can see why it's a very confronting thing, because if you do take responsibility and say, "I'm fully going to make this decision," you then have to acknowledge all the other decisions that you possibly could have made, and that you don't know what the outcome is going to be, so it's not just the way that it's presented now, when you go, "Look, your only choice right now is whatever, chemotherapy." That's your only choice, and so people go, "Okay, cool. It's my only choice. I do it." Then whatever the outcome is, they're like, "Oh, well, wouldn't have turned out any other way. That was the only choice." Very easy. Although it's hard going through something like chemo, it's a very easy way of approaching something, which is... and I get it. I haven't had to be... I've watched lots of people go down that route.   Mason: (46:36) It's nice, even those friends that have gone for chemo, they've gone, "I know all my other options, and I'm the one... I'm not doing this because the allopathic doctors are getting their kick back, and all they can do is say, 'This is what you need to do, and anything else is unethical.'" They're like, "I'm making that decision fully, because I know." Then also, that gives them the opportunity to go, "Well, I'm not just going to play their game. I'm actually going to be engaged with my treatment and make sure that I come out the other side of life," but it can be harrowing to take that responsibility.   Lainie Chait: (47:05) Very, and the guy that I just did a podcast with, with colorectal cancer, he has some incredible information about his journey. Yeah, I recommend it to everyone, Love your Diagnosis. This last one, he had just incredible stuff that he... He's not saying chemo's a bad thing. He's just saying, "In my case, I did this, this, this, and this, and I cured it." Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (47:33) Sounds like a legend.   Lainie Chait: (47:34) Amazing. So, yeah.   Mason: (47:39) Yeah. I wonder if your podcast will start getting featured in little doctor's Facebook groups.   Lainie Chait: (47:48) As don't listen?   Mason: (47:49) Yeah. Yeah, you're a quack. Lainie the quack. Lainie, thanks for coming along and sharing your story.   Lainie Chait: (47:57) That is my pleasure, and we're giving away a book?   Mason: (48:00) Yeah. We're giving away a book. Hopefully you guys are up to date. Hopefully you're up to date on the podcast schedule, and you're in time for you to go over to the SuperFeast Instagram and go in the draw right now. You guys, you're onto it. Look at you guys. Thank you so much for hanging around and watching the live. That's like...   Lainie Chait: (48:24) It's amazing. Thank you.   Mason: (48:25) That is amazing, and thanks for everyone for listening. What's the best place for everyone to find you?   Lainie Chait: (48:30) Well, Electro Girl Productions is on Facebook, and just lain_star on Insta, I suppose that's probably the... Then private message me if you want to be part of the podcast, or if you just want to talk epilepsy, because I know it, so if you're out there, the invisible illness, it doesn't have to be so invisible. Talk to me. Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Mason: (48:50) Thanks so much.   Lainie Chait: (48:52) Thanks.   Dive deep into the mystical realms of Tonic Herbalism in the SuperFeast Podcast!

Intrigued by the idea of the energetic body and how an age-old practice like acupuncture can move energy? But not so sure about the idea of having a bunch of needles stuck in you? Five-Element Acupuncture might just be for you! In this episode, we learn all about Five-Element Acupuncture from Melissa Farran, a board certified and licensed Acupuncturist. She walks us through this healing modality that is rooted in nature and natural law and is believed to be the most ancient practice of acupuncture. Melissa describes what to expect in a treatment session as well as talks through the actual needling process, which involves inserting and removing hair-thin needles in targeted acupuncture points. She also shares with us her advice on staying in rhythm with nature and the seasons to maximize your well-being.   In the “You Want Me To Do What??” section, Shanna details out her experience with Five-Element Acupuncture. She compares it with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture and concludes that, while she misses the nap she could take with TCM, she prefers Five-Element. Episode Recap: Interview with Melissa Farran - 2:31, “You Want Me To Do What??” section - 52:57 Highlights: Five-Element Acupuncture is believed to be the oldest form of acupuncture ever practiced Five-Element is based on the idea that humans are part of nature and that we experience changes with the seasons Whatever we notice in nature, we start noticing in people The five elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water In this system, practitioners are trained to hone their senses so they can use them to diagnose their patients Senses focus on color, sound, odor and emotion Training to become a Five-Element Acupuncturist is a four year Masters program that includes: 2 years of study/schooling 2 years of clinical, supervised practice In Five-Element Acupuncture: Practitioners diagnose and plan treatments by identifying imbalances as it relates to the five elements The focus is less on treating symptoms and more on identifying the root cause and bringing that into balance The needling practice used is tonification which means a needle is placed in an acupuncture point and then removed While a needle may be left in for a few minutes, the Acupuncturist does not leave the room and the needle does not typically stay in as long as they do in TCM Acupuncture Work with the herb Moxa which is heated on the acupuncture point before the needle is placed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) vs Five-Element: The acupuncture points are the same Both systems are working with the energy in the body TCM will put needles in and leave them in while practitioner leaves the room for 20-30 minutes -- This does not happen in Five-Element What to expect in a treatment session: Start with clearing energy in the body by placing needles superficially in the back Observing with the senses, taking pulses, and feeling for energy blocks Not a lot of needles used -- focus on very targeted acupuncture points based on energy and imbalances Finish with grounding points on either the legs and feet or arms and hands Melissa’s Top Tips for Optimum Well-Being: Prioritize sleep Move your body Focus on hydration Resources: Where to find Melissa Farran: Instagram: @melissafarran Website: https://www.melissafarran.com/ Books that Melissa recommends:   Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine by Harriet Beinfield, L.Ac. and Efrem Korngold, L.Ac., O.M.D.   Staying Healthy With the Seasons by Elson M.

Un Answered Prayers Carole, what a beautiful note.  I am enamored (sp?) in the gift God has given us both.  You would not believe the level to which you please me.  I love your ways, your demeanor, your words, your voice, your noises (that is sooo important, your passion noises), your mother, your love for family, your daughter and her feelings for you.  I am so lucky that you passed my way and that we are together the way and the depth that we are.  I have one regret; that my tongue is not long enough to caress the inside of your naval from that place that you gave me two orgasms from last evening.  I wish to be intimate with you like that until I can no longer function.   You are so important and so right to me.   I love you, Peter Kent   11/15/01 12:12:19 PM   Un Answered Prayers   A dark, deserted, dreary place Was, once upon a time, this heart Where sorrow lived without a trace That joy had ever been a part   My soul was cold and froze the tears That otherwise would choke me sure Engulfed was I with all my fears And no longer could I endure   I prayed that God would send for me And tend to those I'd leave behind No longer did I want to be In contact with the human kind   But thank God for un-answered prayer Or answering and saying "No." But rather sending one to share The greatest love I'd ever know   He sent an Angel, kind and strong A gentle man with laughing eyes Who'd cause me to forget the wrong Done unto me through other's lies   His warmth would reach my very soul And spark in me eternal flame Without him I was never whole But with him I can Live again!   For Peter Kent A. Kent By Carole Stairs Lewis   Thursday was the first night of one of my typically horrific periods and my head felt like it would just blow off my shoulders as Peter Kent was eating dinner.  He asked if I would be willing to try acupuncture and figured I wouldn't notice any extra pain and said sure. He set up, what he calls the pleasure alter, a collapsible adjustment table in the living room and he began to work his magic.   When he was through, the jet engines in my ears had been silenced, and I felt like I was drifting in and out of my body.  When I drifted in the abominable cramps were so bad, I would almost jump out-of-body to escape it and that was working for me.  I told Peter Kent what I was doing and he asked me to lay on the floor.  He manipulated my abdomen and some pressure points on my feet and ankles and in seconds the cramps were gone.  I haven't had one since and yet I am bleeding profusely, as always and passing clots that usually make me want to scream in pain.   He showed me how to do the acupuncture for his back and how to burn Moxa on the needles.  It was an incredible evening of giving relief and caring for each other.  It was unlike any love making I have ever known before.  He is a beautiful spirit and I want to be engulfed by him.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.    You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

Moxibustion is one of the main therapies in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and uses heat stimulation on the body surface from the burning of moxa to release pain or treat diseases. It's amazing and it works. I use it on myself and patients frequently for a wide range of conditions including cold/flu, pain, immunity, low energy, and more.

These days pretty much anyone can have their own media outlet. The gatekeepers who used to control access to the airwaves and printing presses are pretty much gone. If you have something to share, especially something that focuses on or services a niche market, then this is the best time to be alive. And here in the midst of Covid-19 this just might be the perfect momnet to work on that book you’ve been noodling on as a “some day” project. Digital technology has been disrupting the various communications industries for a few decades now. The downside is anyone with a computer and some gumption can get their message out to the world, and that can make for some pretty lousy content. The upside is that anyone with a computer and some gumption can get their message out to the world, which means you can contribute the crowd you want to serve. But you’re going to have to learn to use the tools of digital publishing properly, and be responsible for the workflow and design. It’s not so much of a DIY, Do It Yourself project as much as it is a MIY, Manage It Yourself enterprise. In this conversation with Oran Kivity, author of Moxa in Motion with the Ontake Method and Sean Sumner, a consultant on self-publishing, we explore the basics of the brave new world of digital on-demand publishing. Listen in and find out why there has never been a better time to publish your own book.   Head on over to the show notes page for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview.

People, please stop icing your injuries!! Today we are going to be busting the stubborn myth of icing. This is such an important one to raise awareness of, as it’s so entrenched in the mainstream medical field despite lack of any evidence of benefit and clear evidence of harm. So what do we do instead? Luckily Chinese Medicine has a tried and tested approach to healing, with thousands of years of clinic use. It's so effective that the latest biomedical guidelines for healing soft tissue injuries echo traditional wisdom. So join me to find out how to heal more completely and efficiently! Show Notes Transcript Today we're going to get into some health mythbusting, and we are going to be busting the stubborn myth of icing an injury. This is such an important one to raise awareness about, as it's so entrenched in the mainstream medical field - and it's often the first thing that many of us will think to do when we injure ourselves, or if we're recovering from certain surgeries. But despite it being so prevalent, unfortunately icing an injury not only lacks any evidence of benefit, but we are also seeing clear evidence of harm, in its delay and slowing of healing. Icing is directly contradicting our understanding of how the body heals, from both an Eastern and a Western perspective. It's really important to bust this myth apart, so let's get into it. When did the idea of icing become so common in the first place? Well, the widespread idea of icing an injury dates back to the 1970s ,and it was bedded down in the acronym (many of us who are a little older might remember) RICE, which was the standard first aid treatment for injuries. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, and itwas established as best practice back in the seventies and eighties. The term RICE was coined by the sports doctor and fitness guru, Dr. Gabe Mirkin, and the idea of RICE as the first-line treatment was further spread in his bestselling title Sportsmedicine. Now since then, Dr. Mirkin has realised that icing an injury is actually harmful - not helpful - and I really admire his openmindedness and ability to admit that he was wrong. This is the scientific method and a spirit of inquiry in action, which unfortunately doesn't always inform the advice and practice guidelines out there. So it's really awesome to see Dr. Mirkin being openminded and continually updating his knowledge and approach. As Dr. Mirkin says "RICE is something that just stuck and it's wrong". Meanwhile, in many traditional medicines, for thousands of years the standard treatment for injury is the opposite of icing. We use varying treatments that will promote circulation and the growth of new tissue, and we do this with modalities such as acupuncture, cupping therapy (which had its moment in the limelight a couple of years ago with a lot of the Olympic athletes sporting the big dark spots on their backs, and it's also been seen gracing the red carpet!), heat therapy - whether in the form of infrared heat lamp (which feels amazing!) or moxa. Moxa is also known as moxibustion: this is an ancient practice that involves the burning of mugwort and certain other herbs which release volatile oils - these are burnt near the skin and provide a gentle, warm feeling. It feels amazing and it speeds up recovery of topical injuries, even things like insect bites, and certainly feels really lovely for arthritis and pain conditions as well. So with all of these modalities, we're looking at improving circulation and promoting new tissue growth. We also do that with both topical and internal herbal medicines that promote recovery. Some of these herbal liniments in particular have been fine-tuned by Kung Fu fighting Shaolin monks in China. These guys have had ample opportunities over the centuries to observe the effects of herbal medicine for a vast array of training injuries, so these liniments have been tried and tested over millennia.

The characters for acupuncture in Chinese, 針灸zhen jiu, literally translate as needle and moxa. You surely were introduced to the cigar-like pole moxa and large cones of smoldering mugwort on slices of ginger or aconite in acupuncture school. Perhaps you also were exposed to the Japanese rice grain moxa techniques or burning balls of moxa on the head of needle. Not surprising there are a variety of forms of using Ai Ye to bring a kind of simulative heat into the body. In this conversation we explore the use of moxa that is combined with touch, rhythm, warmth, and with an eye to the channel dynamics that Yoshio Manaka, one of the great masters of the 20th century, wrote about in Chasing the Dragon’s Tail. Even if you don’t use much moxa in your clinical, you’ll find this percussive bamboo method goes beyond the simple induction of heat into the body. And indeed can be used in a variety of contexts where you’d usually employ a needle, but in this case, it’s motion, rhythm and moxa. Listen in to this conversation that will have you looking at moxibustion in a whole new way.   Head on over to the show notes page for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview.

Acupuncture is an effective form of treatment for frozen shoulder.

We often think of moxibustion as a potent way to add heat and yang into the body. But if you only think of moxa as heat, then you’re missing the power of the perspective that moxa is about creating a specific kind of stimulation in the body. Listen in to today’s conversation as we explore how Japanese moxa techniques can be helpful in treating antibiotic resistant tuberculosis. And how our guest has taken resources from Japan, along with research and his own experience in Africa of using moxa to help make a difference in the lives of those suffering from the modern drug resistant forms of TB.   Head on over to the show notes page for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview.

Ho sempre nutrito forte ammirazione per i contesti di nicchia, di ricerca, anche intimi. Uno in particolare faceva base nella mia città natale: Mantova. Ho avuto il piacere di conoscerlo in prima persona e nel tempo ho scoperto tutta la sua bellezza e sacralità. Sin dall'inizio ho realizzato che era un qualcosa di diverso dal solito. I profumi, l'ambientazione, i colori, le luci. Mi sembrava di essere da tutt'altra parte.Tutti che quelli che l'hanno "toccato con mano" hanno visto albe, hanno incrociato sorrisi, si sono abbracciati l'uno con l'altro, si sono emozionati, ma sopratutto l'hanno amato. Dal primo "giorno di scuola", passando all'indimenticabile stagione 2010/2011 fino all'ultima notte. Nella puntata, rivivo il ricordo del locale in cui c'era imbarazzo su che serata scegliere, dove a volte mi mettevo in un angolo li fermo ad ascoltare e mi lasciavo andare.Grazie Moxa!LINK: #itsallaboutnightlife:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/itsallaboutnightlife/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/itsallaboutnightlife/

Andrea Setti, artistically known as Gege, was born in 1985 and since he was child he cultivated the passion for the music at 360 degrees, especially thanks to his mother, who handed down her music culture, being a collector and lover of rare and unknown records. Since he was young, attracted by the world of night, started playing in some local clubs of his area. Vincenzo Auriemma and Mattia Zenoni, alias Virtual Boys, class 1984 and 1981, started at the same time organizing parties and afterwards to play music themselves, collecting from the beginning a good following, and imposing themselves in the best clubs of their area. In 2010 the turning point, the trio joined their forces, and in a few months Gege & Virtual Boys makes itself known by playing in the best clubs of the north and centre of Italy ( Docshow, Tenax, Moxa, Vox, Echoes,… just to name a few), in epic private parties and in their own after party called Snooze.
