I'm afraid "minding our own business" has the sole effect of reinforcing the status quo. Silence implies consent. And as it has been insightfully pointed out, the status quo supports discrimination against bisexuals in both the straight and gay worl…
So true
Well said Hayley.Dawn! Part of the reason I've been very private about being bisexual was because of the biphobia you've just described.
It angers me too that certain gays/lesbians have that attitude towards bi's. I mean, if anyone knows about being…
Agreed. I never found it necessary to label myself for the sake of others.

Erin said… - Hi Haley!
I was able to help my yin deficiency by eating a lot of yin foods (according to the book "Healing With Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford) and by taking Dragon Herbs Sho Wu formulation for a number of months. I had to completely stay away from any warming spices or spicy foods during that time in order to protect the yin, so I couldn't work on my spleen during that because many spleen herbs can injure yin if yin is already low.
Now I am working on my spleen and blood, taking another formula (Dragon Herbs Ginseng Longan) which is a spleen-heart tonic that builds blood. It's too early for me to tell if it's working.
I did find that it was just impossible for me to be 100% raw and tonify my spleen (since the spleen needs energeticaly warm and temperature warm/dry foods) so I do a mix of raw and cooked. I also found it necesary to add more animal foods, though you may not need to do this. I was severly kidney depleted yin AND yang) and when you get to that state, you need the big guns, LOL!
So, I'm still "under construction" so to speak, but my TCM practitioner did warn me that it might take up to two years to get normal.
