"So can you expand on what you mean by that. Because i'm just curious. How is it for a human to be connected to the plant kingdom and what happened to disconnect us. There's so many layers to it. You know i mean. I think our ancestors had a much closer connection with the earth and with the elements of life that. Keep them alive every day. Right you cut the fire would build your fire. You go out and harvest your plants. You are tending the to the plants that your animals are eating in which you're eating those animals right. There is an immediate direct connection and relationship to the earth to the plant kingdom to the elements that give us life every day and in our modern world. We don't we don't have that right. We go to the store and we buy food. That comes in a package we know we buy medicines that are into tiny little pills or tablets that you don't see even herbal medicines a lot of times you don't see the leaf you don't see either route. You don't see the flower. it's there's this innate disconnection and i think when we think of you know human beings like our whole existence is utterly dependent on the plant kingdom like. We can't survive without the plants every single breath that we take is the gift of the plant kingdom. Right they exhale oxygen and inhaled carbon dioxide. And we say carbon dioxide in inhale oxygen this constant moment to moment reciprocal relationship with the plant kingdom. That were utterly dependent on know. All of our food comes from plants or gums from animals that ate plants all of our structures every home pretty much every home that we dwelling that we live in comes from wood from trees right. It's i mean. Of course there's a whole lot of other stuff in there but the core structure of it is still in many cases from the earth. And so i guess to me. I i see that a lot of the sickness and a lot of struggles that people face in this modern world stress insomnia the even like the inflammation and the anxiety and depression all a lot of that stuff that people struggle with in their health. You know i'm not saying all of it. One hundred percent of it is due to this. But i do think it's a major. Contributing factor is because of this connection between humans and nature and It's affecting the individual the health of the individual affecting the health of the planet as a whole on the ego systems. And we can't really separate the park from the whole the person from the planet When the planet sick we are sick and when we collectively are sick. The planet is sick. Is they're inseparable. I really feel strongly that it is that humanity needs to just recognize that you know recognize that importance of our connection and relationship to the natural world and respect it. nc that we're a part of it and that when we damage it were actually damaging ourselves. He as interesting. That we have to actually fabricate things like sherman roku or japanese forest bathing for stressed-out executives. But you know it is true. That goes way back. I think it was like cyrus the great you know. The the gardens persia where literally built to induce calm and people who were living in like a busy post industrial post industrial but a busy city. And you know parish. Elsa i know he said you know the back. In the sixteenth century that really good swiss german physician at the art of healing comes from nature physician. And i think a big part of this too from from medicine standpoint and from a stress control standpoint it from asleep standpoint. I mean. I pinch myself every day that i get to wake up because i live not far from you honestly in the inland northwest and probably five six hours from you in the forest and just be able to wake up and go outside barefoot in lush green grass and be surrounded by greenery and be able to step outside each day into that. You know. I'm not saying that to rub it in people's faces because you can hang posters on your wall and put plants in your office and have green spaces in your backyard and and in your corporate setting that allow you to tap into the same thing but but yeah just seems like we're we're so disconnected from just something as simple as real not plastic but real plants that that's around us and then in in the book you begin to tie all this into some pretty what i would consider to be like advanced or or less well-known forms of medicine and i think one of the first things you talked about that i really liked. Was this concept. It's not necessarily only form of herbalism. It's a concept you describing the book you say it's a vilest model of medicine like vital ism and i'm curious speaking describe what vital ism is and why you begin to describe that so early in the book yeah well. Vital is a very important concept in traditional systems of plant medicine while it may not be Termed as such in all cultures when we when we really look at what. They're saying we can see that they are all in in their own. Unique ways vitalised which really is looking at nature right looking at plants looking at people and understanding that there is an intelligence within that right that there is an innate intelligence within a plan in Intelligence within the human organism within the baden that is at play and vital systems of medicine really work to burke with that vital intelligence not against it so a really great way to illustrate this. An example is the simple physiological process of fever so when pathogenic microorganism gets into the body and there's a an environment within the body that is hospitable to that pathogen. It sets up shop. It starts reproducing the human immune system recognizes it responds to it and goes you know red alert and signals to the hypothalamus and shuts the pores of the skin down. It increases the internal body temperature and all of a sudden. You get a fever..

Nine more people have died from the virus. Public health officials say. With the current number of daily new cases and the continued circulation of the more transmissible Delta variant, it's best to wear masks in most indoor settings. Whether you are vaccinated or not. This comes as new concerns emerge about a strain of Covid called the Epsilon variant. Which first emerged here in California Studies show it could be more resistant to the vaccines. Speaking in Bell Gardens yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom said getting inoculated is still the best way to avoid becoming a statistic. Those are in the hospitals. Those that have died overwhelmingly. People that have not been vaccinated. I cannot impress upon you more. The power. Of getting vaccinated. Health officials say 61% of county residents, 16 and up are fully vaccinated right now.

You're not interested in dating him. He's a casual acquaintance. You've met up with him a few times in the last few years if he gets all butthurt when you say please stop sending me all these means. I don't really enjoy means. I don't really get means but i'm happy to see you again and hang out and enjoy talking with you. Let's do more of that if he gets all butthurt because he say you don't want means anymore. Yeah you don't want him around and if you tell him to stop sending you means he keeps sending you memes.

We're in positive reinforcement if the means keep coming use your words if he gets upset and doesn't want to see you again good riddance. Hey dan nancy. In the tech savvy at risk youth. I am a twenty six year old man living in the inland northwest. And i have a social media question for you. So i was doing some totally benign instagram. Stocking of a friend's account the other day and i made a probably embarrassing discovery. I discovered that This friend who instantly is a straight married man follows several erotic instagram accounts ranging from the tasteful to the central all the way up to the fetish he also like some specific photos from these accounts which give me a good What he's into now. I feel bad for having discovered this. And usually i wouldn't care. I mean he's entitled to jerk off to whatever he wants to turn off to like whatever he likes but my issue is that this is you know fueled by anyone who has followed him on social media and that includes friends family members so on and so forth so my question is whether i should discreetly let him know that he's leading all his friends and followers who care to investigate his profile. Know that kind of stuff that gets them off or maybe should. I just take this secret to the grave with me. This seems to me to be do unto others as you would have them do unto you moment if issues around the other feet if he had stumbled over your instagram account or dug through your instagram account or dodson some light stocking of your instagram account or someone else had and they noticed you're following a bunch of fetish accounts and figured that you weren't aware that this was public and that other people could see the accounts that you were following and see what you were liking and make assumptions about what you might be jerking off to. Would you want that person to give you a heads up. I think the answer to that question is yeah. You would want that person to let you know to give you the heads up to tell you that this is public in case. You weren't already aware that it was public so that you could create a so. Many people have created a second instagram account. Where you can follow all the kinky weird or inappropriate that you don't want your friends or co-workers or kids or acquaintances or spouses to see so if i were you i would. After applying the golden rule the do and others. You'd have them do unto you. This i would give him a call. Maybe send him a text message. You can include a face saving little white lie. You can say instagram. Let me know. We follow a couple of the same accounts. And i noticed not taught just wanted to let you know dot dot dot. This is public so that you know. I'm sure you have your own kinks. Young weirdnesses your own fetishes. I'm sure you follow some people on instagram. Purely for the eye candy. And we're all in this sex thing together so even if it's ally saying i noticed follow a couple of the same accounts. Did you now just wanted. You wanted to give the heads up. It just communicates to him that you're not judging him shaming him around kinks sexual interests just by acknowledging. Even if it's little white lie but you have a few kinks of your own. Which i assume that you do and if you count you follow on instagram. Just to jack to jack off to the memory to or jakov to the mental images that they put into your head that you can access on your solo decks later so yeah give him the heads up. Heads up you yourself.

"To you by portal schools. On a Monday. It's all things considered from NPR News. I'm Mary Louise Kelly and I'm Elsa Chang. President elect Joe Biden pulled a bit of a surprise today in announcing his choice to lead the C I A. He said he plans to nominate William Burns, a career diplomat and former ambassador to head the country spy agency. This selection rounds out Biden's national security team and for more on how that team is shaping up. We're joined now by NPR National security correspondent Greg Marie. Hey, Gray. I also all right. So if I'm not mistaken, the U. S has never had a CIA director who spent an entire career as a diplomat. So why do you think biting would choose someone like burns instead of someone who comes directly from the intelligence community? Yeah, it isn't interesting choice. Bill Burns to 64 spent his career at the State Department not in the intelligence world. So he is an outsider of sorts. But another ways. Burns fits Biden's pattern here of For his national security team, the picking very experienced people who've known Biden and worked with him and others around him for years, and we can really see Biden's contrast with President Trump here. Trump had this very rocky relationship with the CIA and the intelligence community throughout his term. Biden wants to rebuild that relationship and is picking people he's worked with back when he was in vice vice president or even back when he was senator. Okay, So tell us what kind of diplomat was burns. Well. He spent more than 30 years at the State Department before he stepped down in 2014, and he's been president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Since then, he's often been described as one of the most respected and skilled diplomats of his generation. Me held a lot of top posts at the State Department here in Washington, numb numerous posts overseas. He was ambassador to Jordan, ambassador to Russia from 2005 to 2008. That means he kept a close eye on President Vladimir Putin two years ago. Two years ago, Burns told NPR what it was like going into the Kremlin to present his ambassadorial credentials to Putin. Before I could get a word out of my mouth. President Putin said you Americans need to listen more. You can't have everything your own way anymore. Then you know that was vintage Putin. It was not subtle. Had a big chip on his shoulder, a sense of grievance, and it was defiantly charmless, just like Putin himself. Harmless, all right, well. Burns was also a key figure in the nuclear negotiations with Iran, the negotiations that led to the Iran nuclear deal in 2015. He was, of course critical of President Trump for pulling out of that deal in 2018, so given that, Greg what do you think his nomination suggests about Biden's approach towards Iran going forward? Well, it reinforces Biden's message that he wants to get back in the deal. If Iran is willing to accept all the restrictions that were laid down back in 2015, and Burns wasn't the only one who was a key negotiator, Jake Sullivan, who's the incoming national security adviser, was also an important figure. So the intent here is clear. But we are five years down the road and you can't just turn back the clock now. One idea we're hearing is a sense of a freeze for freeze. The U. S. Could freeze its sanctions on Iran. Iran would freeze its nuclear enrichment A to point where it is right now. Then both sides could try to sit down, figure out how to get back to the parameters of the deal. Something that's possible, but certainly not a given. Okay, well zooming out. I mean, Biden has made it clear that he thinks Trump's tenure was chaotic that it greatly damaged the standing of the U. S in the world. So what do you think? Now that we're seeing the shape of Biden's national security team, What's your sense of what the administration's most important national security priorities priorities you want? Yeah. Yeah. He wants to get back to rebuilding relations with allies reclaim the U. S leadership role in the world not promote proposing a grand vision, but he wants very experienced people who are well known at home and abroad, and they can hopefully play a stabilizing role. That is NPR's Greg Marie. Thank you, Greg. My pleasure. Monoclonal antibody drugs are supposed to help people with mild to moderate covert 19 avoid the hospital. Federal officials say the drugs are under used. That's partly because it's tricky for hospitals to set up in fusion centers to give the treatments. Also, some doctors are skeptical. The drugs actually work and some people just can't find out where to get treated. NPR has heard of woes like that from across the country. NPR's Richard Harris brings us one of those stories.

And then I got to think about the time I would Have my husband drives me there. Have the doctor appointment.

The National Infusion Center Association launched a website that lists clinics known to offer it to you know, say, Bo it, Eli Lilly says her company has fielded a couple of 1000 calls asking for help locating the drug. And she's happy to see that the federal government has just launched a locator Web site to. Unfortunately it's only 22 states at this point, and but hopefully that will change very soon. I know the government is as motivated as we are to make sure that people know how to access this medication and to try and avoid hospitalizations. In case you're wondering. Washington is not one of the 22 states.
