What do you think of my proposed new name for ADHD?

Weikard-Crichton Syndrome 🤗
(VYE-kard-KRY-tuhn)

My rationale is in my latest Well S**t snippet...

This makes me feel weirdly happy!

No – not getting my 'picture' in the 'paper' (The Waiheke Weekender) 🥸

What I mean is:
Getting back to my advertising roots; back to when it was essentially just TV, print, radio, billboard, and direct mail.

And...

Just getting back to when life seemed so much simpler.

And...

I find it really fascinating that the universe has cleverly manipulated my world – through a series of unfortunate events – to literally force me to slow down, and reassess all-the-things.

The world truly works in mysterious ways xoxo

I just received an email from a lovely colleague, and follower of OOMPH and LISA SAID SO 🤗

She says –

"Hi Lisa,

Congrats on bringing in the female contraception device :)

I have been asked by elderly women, for a vaginal device for prolapse, that they can use to avoid surgery.. ie: Prolapse Support Pessary Refill | femtherapeutics

It seems that they are not in NZ, and yet I think, could be very popular, and useful.

Just in case you were thinking of more great ideas :)

Love your work, T"

I say –

Thank you for your encouraging words, T!!
And yes – I had thought of that also 👊
I discuss the following in my FemCap article –

A possible bonus feature of purchasing a FemCap?

You may find that The FemCap also functions for you as a pessary to manage Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) following your pregnancy. With SUI you may experience leaks from pressure on the bladder when exercising, coughing, laughing, or with a big sneeze.

The FemCap can help here as it provides support to the bladder neck and straightens the urethra, thereby restoring the competence of the urethral sphincters. If this is the case for you, you could wear it daily WITHOUT ContraGel for this purpose (Because you only have to change it every 48 hours, you would only need to insert this device 3x weekly.) Please discuss this with your specialist Physiotherapist 👍🏼

“Why don't you come up some time and see me”...
Well, I guess that will depend on where in NZ you are!

Because as from next Saturday I'll be seeing clients, in-person on Waiheke Island; on Saturdays!🤓🏝️

I was thinking, if you're ever coming over for the day, the weekend, a long weekend, a mini break, a holiday. whatever....you could include a session with your most favourite Naturopath & Medical Herbalist (me!!!) in your pre-planned itinerary🤗

This does my heart good – the email I just received to my LISA SAID SO account.

"Hi Lisa,

You are so SO funny! And grounded, balanced, strong-willed but calm, open, and authentic yet practical (the less important characteristics). That is all, thank you and goodbye!

I am so sorry for taking some of your time with this nonsense, pls forgive me..

From the Philippines,
Niccole"

In a world full of trolling, and ignoring the good, it's really, really beautiful when someone goes out of their way to give you some positive feedback!! (Really nice indeed.)

I’ve just strained, and bottled, my latest batch of Kvass!
(Chioggia beetroot, Emerald Towers basil, and ginger.)

Kvass just makes good sense to me. Because, if you recall from my article on Kombucha… I’m a big believer that fermented food and drink should satisfy a number of requirements:

It preserves abundant food for lean times
It therefore also prevents wastage.

It’s ‘broken-down’
Therefore it makes it easier to absorb the nutrients from this raw food.

It inoculates your gut with beneficial bacteria
The thing you’re fermenting should be abundant in lactobacillus bacteria. (Therefore it needs to be organic.)
The bacteria turn sugar into lactic acid — which gives this product its sour taste. (Beetroot have a high sugar content.)

You just water…and salt - if you wish.
You don’t need a starter (or a SCOBY)

See my bio for the article I wrote on this health tonic

In the 18th century, Casanova was said to have discovered the use of lemons as a contraceptive: a lemon was halved, squeezed, and the rind was placed over the cervix like a cap – to act as a barrier to s***m!

The lemon juice also contains a weak concentration of citric acid which immobilises s***m cells or slows them down.

What a clever cookie, he was! I can see why all the ladies found him so gosh-darn alluring...🍸🍋💋

Don't you know that you're toxic?

For those females who think that Copper IUDs are a good non-hormonal form of contraception? I hate to tell you this, but the mere presence of this foreign object in your uterus triggers an immune response which creates inflammation. This inflammation is further accelerated by the copper ions it releases creating a “toxic environment” for s***m… and eggs!

To add even more fuel to this fire, they tell you that you can leave-it-up-there for a decade… No wonder it’s common for this device to cause heavier and more painful periods especially in the first 3–12 months of ‘wearing’ it.

Note: A copper IUD is actually categorised as an emergency form of contraception...

Barrier contraception is the only birth-control that does no harm.
