Well, look, one of the reasons I was reticent to go into detail about IHPRG (NMTHFM) is that when she approached me I was sitting at the end of the bar drinking a decent but not excellent Guinness and reading the Economist. In order to uphold my street cred around here I needed to be reading Monocle. I was not, sadly, and I must own up to that.
I won't get into what happened between then and the hedge fund dude, but I will say that we met damn near ten years ago and she and I still keep in fairly close touch. She recently had a baby girl, her first child. I distinctly remember her telling me that she didn't want children. Even then, back in one's naive thirties, even as stupid as I am, I knew that was bullshit.
Speaking of bullshit, y'all remember nutsie? Well, just now I received something from her. It was sent at three in the morning where she is. I guess she must be up waiting for Trump to unleash some caustic comments about Iggy Azalea. Anyway, here's the first bit:
If you are receiving this email from me, it is because at some point in my life, our oaths crossed in this journey on the blue planet. Many of you know that I lived on a few occasions in Brazil and have travelled extensively in South America, in fact, more than North America. Nick Pollizzi made this documentary of medicine men in the Peruvian part of the Amazon jungle and their 30 day attempts to cure modern day diseases with the natural keys to all healing. Some of you may already know that most pharmaceutical drugs embody synthetic versions of plants attempting to mimic them merely for patent and profit. The synthetic version many of you have already learned, are inevitably inferior to those of God made in nature. Almost all of you know of my struggle with illness for the last two decades, and virtually the only relief and advancement that I have seen is through natural healing. I do believe in emergency medicine and allopathic medicine has its place, but phytohealing, phytotherapy, herbology, naturopathy, and spiritual healing are amazingly potent gifts from God. As of now, there powers and mysteries have to be shared through human to human channels as all other types of medicine, except allopathic are suppressed in much of the first world. Many of you were caught up for years in medical or veterinary practices until you has your illuminating moment about there must be a better way.
