in vitro

Today the biomedicilization of the body is in the back of my thoughts. I am going to write a play about the year 2235 when geneticists found a way to implant intelligence through the level of mothers intelligence and intellegence consumed while pregnant. Just like nutrients and food is passed through the plancinto at crucial moments intellegence will pass the same way. Thus predisposing offspring to jobs as lawyers, philosophers, engineers, chemists, poets, and genetisists.

It blows my mind

My daily vitamins

I have had some serious health concerns in my life, and in the past few years. Each time I go to the doctor for something I think is mild he wants to medicate me. I have learned to say 'no' to the over medicated passes of pills from my doctor, but I can not hid the fact that I am sick.

My skin has been showing it the most in the last few weeks, and I have been bruising a lot more than normal. I am going to the doctor on Tuesday to have my stiff and bruising joints checked out. I fear that I have artrites, and I hope that my joint inflammation is just a result of anxiety.

Non the less I take 11 pills daily to keep myself going.
Morning: 1 Flaxseed oil, 1 Calcium, 1 Saint John's Wort
Noon: 1 Mulit-V, 1 B-complex
3pm: 1 flaxseed oil, 1 Saint John's Wort
Evening: 1 Calcium, 1 magnesium
Bed time: 1flaseed oil, 1 Saint John's Wort

They all do different things for me, and help because I can't get everything I need out of my ever worsening diet. The Flaxseed is for heart health and is a substitute for Omega-3 and Fish oil, which I very clearly can not have. The Saint John's Wort is an anxiety helper, and mood regulator. It is suppose to help my highs and lows dealing with anxiety that I face throughout the day. The Calcium is pretty clear. The magnesium is my soul because is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. The Multi-V is my second soul because without it I would surely be sick and undernourished all of the time instead of just some of the time. And the b-vitamines are to help with all the other normal body fuctions and hair growth and chemical management.


I am really learning how to take care of myself, I now just need to find out if my online vitamin store will ship to Turkey.
