Asad’s gut issues started making themselves known the end of November (click here). Keeping him eating, drinking and moving around was a bit of a challenge. It turned out that he had been carrying around a cement mixer’s worth of Iowa mudstone and getting it out was making him feel miserable. He inevitably progressed to […]

I’ve been feeding Asad a morning mush to help him acclimate to our high dry sunny climate. Eating a quart of pellets, a pint of Triple Crown’s pelleted feed supplement, a scoop of electrolytes formulated to ‘help encourage a healthy water intake’, a scoop of psyllium, and a scoop of probiotics along with enough water […]
I knew Asad was overdue for a hoof trim before he started down my way. What I did not know was just how long it had been since his last hoof trim. As you can see in the photo below, he had platters for front hooves and his hind hooves were equally overgrown. I was […]
One of the reasons that I post on my health issues is because during the Trump era, getting medical issues recognized was not part of primary care practitioners jobs.

For example, Carlos Castaneda, Felicitas Goodman and Michael Harner were all anthropologists with an implicit bias towards framing their experiences in terms of literate Western Civilization. My challenge is to integrate the foundations of that intellectual […]
My brain is beginning to work past my apraxia at least some of the time. What I need to do is catch up on mail and finances and organizing the kitchen. But the information my brain wants to organize is horse history. Or play solitaire. SO I figured I would go ahead and get the […]
I have not been posting because my brain has not been working. I was exposed to the Corona Virus in the beginning of March. I have not had a Corona Virus test because I did not need expose myself to the concentration of sick people at any medical facility when I was already vulnerable. And […]
I have tried to get the western medical model to admit there is something seriously wrong inside my (physical) head. Somehow I find oozing blood out of my face and into my mouth to be abnormal. Until now, my symptoms have been dismissed as mendacious malingering. However I just got a transcranial Doppler ultrasound that […]
