Smudging actually kills airborne pathogens

  This is taken from Gardiningsoul.com. "The Science of Smudging: What Sage Does to Bacteria Recent research suggests that there may indeed be scientific evidence to support the idea that smudging can help purify the air. One study, published in the  Journal of Ethnopharmacology  in 2007, examined the effects of burning medicinal herbs, including sage, on airborne bacteria. The Study: Air Purification with Medicinal Herbs The research study, led by Dr. Narendra Singh and his team, investigated the antimicrobial potential of burning traditional medicinal herbs. The researchers wanted to determine whether the smoke from these herbs, including sage, could actually reduce the number of airborne bacteria and other pathogens. Key Findings : The study found that burning medicinal herbs like sage significantly reduced the number of airborne bacteria. In fact, the smoke from the herbs eliminated up to 94% of airborne bacteria in a closed space within just one hour. What’s even mor...

Drinking Arsenic

A woman sat down in a bar, pulled out a flask, and swigged it. 

The man next to her asked what she was drinking. 

She said, "Arsenic." 

The man replied, "Arsenic?! Isn't that poisonous? What's it taste like?" 

The woman said, "Cherry." 

The man grabbed the flask out of her hand, took a swig, and said, "I don't taste any cherry. But definitely blueberry." 

They argued back and forth, and finally the bartender who watched all of this happen yelled, "Are you guys crazy?" 

Then he pulled out a cup, scooped ice into it, and said, "You're supposed to drink it on ice."


This absurd scene is a perfect metaphor for what's going on in America and the war in the Middle East.

The poison is the endless cycle of religious fighting and senseless violence on the streets. The man and woman are the two sides of the same coin, so caught up in arguing whether the poison tastes like "cherry" or "blueberry" that they forget they're killing themselves. 

The bartender is the system that has the power to put a stop to this, but legitimizes it instead by making it more appealing. 

Both sides ultimately want the same thing: a safe neighborhood, stable pay, and the freedom to live a healthy life. But what they're arguing and risking their lives over has become irrelevant, a distraction from the real poison they're both willingly drinking.
