Are we ever fully healed, with total inner peace? Do we really get to the core of our own issues and, deal with them?
I thought if I sucked in, past events, long and hard enough, that they would eventually become so distant, that they would be erased from my memory, forever!!!
Then I was introduced to healing mushrooms. Birch Polypore & Lions Mane.
Birch Polypore Lions Mane

Recently I came across an amazing woman, on social media, called Gabi. We met through a mutual friend, whom I also met on Facebook…(Before I got kicked off!!!)
Anyway, this incredible woman who is now a big part of my life, is a fully qualified Herbalist, and a very good one too. Gabi makes up mushroom tinctures, blesses them, and matches them to your DNA.
For those of you that don’t know about mushroom healing, I recommend you research the benefits!
I started off on the Birch Polypore, following on with the Lions Mane Tincture, which I am just coming to the end of.
It has been one hell of a ride, so let me tell you about my mushroom journey….(not magic unfortunately!)
“Birch Polypore” The Candida exterminator…
Birch Polypore cleanses the gut of parasites, it rids the intestines of “Candida, which is the most common fungus to grow in the human body. This is caused through bad diet, over eating processed foods & sugary snacks.
If you have sugar cravings it is highly likely that you have parasites in your gut. They feed off the hunger hormone, making you crave sugary snacks, such as cake, biscuits, crisps, yes crisps, they also have a high sugar content, especially flavoured varieties.
Sugar is one of the most difficult ingredients for me to eliminate from my diet. It’s not surprising considering, the amount of sweets I shoved in my gob as a kid. Flying saucers, Fruit salads, Black Jacks, the list is endless. I’m lucky I haven’t got a smile like midnight at Stone Henge.
Adhering to a healthier lifestyle will speed up the process of any supplement. Nutrients aren’t able to penetrate through the mucus, so little benefit will be noticed. Cleansing the gut, is like emptying your kitchen bin. It needs emptying and cleaning.
The mushroom tinctures will take longer to work if you have a sluggish bowel movement and binge on foods full of toxicity. Patience is key. You have to work together.
Birch Polypore Lions Mane

“Lions Mane” Unravels deep rooted emotions
Lions Mane, is a bit like Heineken, it reaches parts others can’t…If there’s a deep rooted problem, this lil’ blighter will dig it out, right from the root. Ouch!!!
Emotions surfaced that I had forgotten about. The size and weight of a breeze block now sat in my gut. To rid this monstrosity from my stomach I needed to up my game on the good foods. A diet of fermented foods, alkaline juices, green smoothies, organic ingredients, and supplements, exercise, meditation and breathing exercises, were welcomed for the healing process to begin.
This tincture, turned me upside down, back to front, inside out, with a couple of back flips thrown in for good measure. I can only describe it as being stood in a bloody tornado, whilst being totally still.
Every negative scenario, I thought I had dealt with or erased from my past, all came back to life.
WTF???
I have never experienced anything like it….Talk about being “All Shook Up”
Luckily for me, my friend started the journey at the same time so we were able to support one another when needed, which was every day ha ha ha. Some people around me were really grating my carrot, but that wasn’t their shit, it was mine! I was just seeing a reflection of my younger self.
It was one hell of a pill to swallow, as you know accepting our own faults is a difficult task. It’s easier to find fault in others, but that doesn’t allow us to grow, because their shit becomes our shit.
My life was flashing in front of me at some speed, too much to be able to process what was actually happening at the time. The simplest way was to just let it do it’s job, ridding negativity from the soul. Letting go…
We declutter our homes, our workspace, our friends list, but remember our souls need it too.
I can honestly say that my body has never functioned so well. I am in tune with my soul more than I ever thought possible.

An alkaline diet, organic supplements, self discipline, and a positive mindset, has truly saved my life!!! And of course the support and encouragement of others.
The power of mushrooms & plant is incredible, they must be used with guidance, care, and respect. Always seek professional advice with any new supplement you decide to take. Research everything yourself!!!
