I, too, enjoyed what you and Johnny Vedmore had to share with listeners in the 2023-06-22 Newspaste podcast. (Past tense; I'm commenting AFTER having listened to the whole thing.)
May I put in a plug for a hardwired Internet connection?
There's this distortion that wifi creates with its constant pulsing and then especially the random cutting in and out. For this listener, the effect is like the speaker has an AI entity squatting on her head (in this case, your head). It is very unnerving to try to weed content from digitized interference. It's also a lot of work! (I had to pause the nearly two-hour playback at least twice.)
I suppose most people don't consider unintended effects like these when they choose their 'puter-related tech. Or maybe it's less of a choice and more the kind of thing one falls into accepting without realizing the consequences. (Dr. Mercola wrote a whole book on some of the unintended consequences: EMF*D.)
I can report that the effects are very real.
Tessa Lena, your messages (including audio version) deserve to be coming through unaltered by interference from the robotbabies.
Thank you, Brek, and apologies that the audio was not perfect. There were internet issues, which seems to happen often during important conversations. When I interviewed three whisteblower doctors, I had to edit almost literally syllable by syllable since everybody was having issues.
As far as wired connection, I am with you. I have been looking into EMFs for years, and I completely agree!
Mechanical Scours Great apes (i.e., chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas) do something peculiar with hairy leaves. They assess a potential leaf with their hands, mouth, and tongue while it is still attached to the plant; then, if it is desirable, they pick it, fold it in concertina fashion, and swallow it whole without chewing ( Figure 2-3 ). In each bout, apes swallow from one to one hundred leaves, which are later excreted undigested. Across Africa, they use leaves from at least 34 different species of herbs, trees, vines, and shrubs. Some contain bioactive phytochemicals, others do not; however, all are rough in surface texture with hooklike microstructures called trichomes ( Wrangham, 1977 ; Huffman, 1997 , 2003 ).
Leaf swallowing, as it is known, is more common at the beginning of the rainy season, when nodular worm infestation starts to increase; many of the apes seen doing this are clearly suffering from symptoms of nodular worm infestation, including diarrhea, malaise, and abdominal pain ( Huffman, 1997 ). After decades of research, scientists discovered that the rough texture of leaves acts as a mechanical scour, scraping loose intestinal worms out through the gut. Rough leaves also stimulate diarrhea and speed up gut motility, helping the animal to shed worms and their toxins from the body. This is likely to provide rapid relief from feelings of gastrointestinal malaise ( Huffman, 2001 ). It seems that leaf swallowing is particularly effective against nodular worms because they move around freely in the large intestine looking for food and mates. Other worms (such as threadworms and whipworms) burrow into the mucosa of the small intestine and thereby probably escape the scraping effects of rough leaves. However, leaf swallowing has also helped chimpanzees at Kibale National Park, Uganda, to rid themselves of a particularly heavy outbreak of tapeworms (Bertiella studeri) Huffman, 1997 ). Primates are not the only species to seek out mechanical scours. Biologists have long known that bears somehow rid themselves of internal parasites before hibernation. Alaskan brown bears in Katmai National Park change their diet before hibernation. Highly fibrous, sharp-edged, coarse sedge (Carex spp [Cyperaceae]) appears in large dung masses almost completely composed of long tapeworms.The coarse plant material scrapes out the worms in a similar way to the rough leaves swallowed by chimpanzees ( Huffman, 1997 ). Physical expulsion also seems to be used by Canadian snow geese. Just before migration, they deposit large boluses of undigested grass and tapeworms in their dung. When they reach their migration destination, they are clear of tapeworms. In both brown bears and snow geese, worms are being shed at a time of critical nutritional stress—a time when carrying these parasites would greatly reduce the animal’s chances of survival. Wolves eat grass, and wolf scats have been found that contain both grass and roundworms ( Murie, 1944 ). Tigers are reported to eat grass “when hungry,” although if heavily infested with worms, they may appear emaciated. Samples of the droppings of wild Indian tigers consist almost entirely of grass blades, and in at least one case, a tapeworm was found inside ( Schaller, 1967 ). Both domestic dogs and cats occasionally chew grass—possibly a residual self-medication strategy of their wild ancestors. Traditional herbalists use physical scours as a method of worm control. With chemical de-wormers (herbal or nonherbal), there is a delicate balance between a dose toxic enough to harm the parasites yet not the host. These nontoxic physical remedies used by wild animals may be a particularly useful addition to parasite control in modern farming, where parasites are increasingly resistant to drugs ( Huffman, 2003 ).
Topical Applications Birds and mammals also use nature’s pharmacy externally on their skin and in their immediate environment. In these examples, they are exploiting the volatile components of plant and insect secretions. During nesting time, male European starlings collect a selection of aromatic herbs to bring back to the nest ( Figure 2-4 ). In North America, they preferentially select wild carrot (Daucus carota), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), agrimony (Agrimonia parviflora), elm-leaved and rough goldenrod (Solidago spp), and fleabane (Erigeron spp), even when they are not the most common plants nearby. These herbs are all highly
aromatic. Furthermore, they contain more volatile oils, in greater concentrations, than are found in aromatic plants close at hand that are not selected. Back at the nest, the fresh herbs are woven into the nest matrix and topped up all the while the chicks are hatching. The benefits of these herbs to the chicks are evident. Chicks in herb nests have a significantly greater chance of surviving into the next season than do chicks in nests from which the herbs have been removed ( Clark, 1988 ).

We seem to give (what we think are) our 'logical thoughts' more weight than our 'intuitions'; what did I hear about Borax melting the fossilized pituitary? Just a pinch!
I can't remember the species, but I believe there's some birds that know the right time to eat certain berries and fruits that have fermented and they get a bit of a buzz from eating these berries! Haha. Self medication is certainly not just for humans.
For sure, not just for humans! And animals like to have fun just like we do. I think it is very arrogant of us to claim that we are the only smarty pants out there :)
I love reading more about this fascinating subject! Have enjoyed a precursor book, Cindy Engel's "Wild Health" (2002) and now this; thanks. Humans should have such useful knowledge as other animals.
I knew it was you who wrote the article! But I somehow missed your name. I recently learned of this topic from Dr. Mark Plotkin's podcast, Plants of the Gods. The subject comes up two or three times during the series. Grateful for your article on ZPCGNSY.
I'm sure we have all seen dogs eat grass perhaps to help their digestion or maybe they're just identifying as cows.
That's it! They identify as cows!
My dog identifies as a goat.
What does your dog do?
Eats everything.
That popped into my mind before you said it.
Hi Tessa, really enjoying your audio chat with Johnny Vedmore, will encourage me to visit the other video links with him, thank you and Yah bless <3
Thank you Mart!! xo

Gladly, Tessa.
Great article Tessa! I read it in Mercola's news this AM. Nature is so loaded with wisdom we all can benefit from observing. (Both flora and fauna.)
Looking forward to listening to the interview too! 🙏☺️
Thank you, Kelly!!
True, bears are notorious for this. Natives watched them dig out some roots that were later known for their medical virtues.
