Summary

Tree Medicine explores the fascinating connection between trees and human health, revealing how trees have provided crucial ingredients for both traditional remedies and modern pharmaceuticals. Highlighting that some of the most effective medicines originate in tree bark, leaves, and roots, the book argues for a deeper understanding of tree biochemistry to unlock new drug discoveries. It also emphasizes the importance of sustainable harvesting, especially considering issues like antibiotic resistance and the need for ecologically sound options. 

 
The book examines the historical use of tree-derived medicines, showcasing examples like willow bark's role as a precursor to aspirin and quinine from cinchona trees for treating malaria. It progresses by introducing phytochemistry and ethnobotany, then explores specific trees and their medicinal applications, delves into scientific research supporting their efficacy, and addresses sustainable harvesting challenges. 

 
By integrating scientific rigor with an appreciation for traditional knowledge, Tree Medicine offers a holistic perspective.

    Personality Disorders - A Short...

    The concept of personality disorders rose to prominence in the early twentieth century and has consistently caused controversy among psychiatrists, psychologists, and social scientists. In Personality Disorders, Allan V. Horwitz traces the evolution of defining these disorders and the historical dilemmas of attempting to mold them into traditional medical conceptions of disorder. 
     
     
     
    Using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, as a guide, Horwitz explores the group of conditions that make up personality disorders and considers when they have been tied to or separated from other types of mental illnesses. He also examines how these disorders have often entailed negative moral and cultural evaluations more focused on perceived social deviance than on actual medical conditions. 
     
     
     
    Deep conflicts exist in a variety of disciplines in determining the nature of these disorders. During the twentieth century, a particularly sharp division arose between researchers who study personality disorders and the clinicians who treat them. Synthesizing historical and contemporary scholarship, Horwitz examines controversies over the definitions and diagnoses of personality disorders and how the perception of these illnesses has changed over time.

    A Requiem For What Could Have...

    I wrote these poems incrementally, but collated, edited, and recorded them collectively. A process that was at first therapeutic and then brutally revealing. A lot of the pieces touch upon regret, lost possibilities, and missed opportunities born of trauma, neglect, mental illness, and fear, as well as the desperation that comes when you find yourself searching for hope inside of darkness. 
     
    What could’ve been and what is, are not the same thing. A lot of my pain comes from an inability to reconcile those two disparate facets of my existence. I know I can’t have everything I want, no one can. But when you are broken, it can be hard to know what you want, let alone have any idea of how to attain it. 
     
    Thus, I write. I write to heal, to express the darkness within, to get it onto the page, and into the light. To understand myself and to understand my understanding of the world. 
     
    If you resonate with my words I encourage you to write some of your own - it will help. 
     
    what could have been 
    is broken 
    and what is 
    feels like a dream 
     
    these words served 
    as a temporary anchor 
    against the swirling chaos 
    of a corrupted soul 
    longing for rest 
     
    writing 
    saved my life 
    editing 
    almost killed me 
     
    i hope 
    it was 
    worth it
