Review: Kefir and Koso: healthy fermented beverages

I haven’t written about my diet in quite a while, so I thought I’d post something to denote when I began drinking Koso and kefir.

I began having some digestive issues, and quickly discovered the heartburn I had been experiencing was linked to the red wine I’d been drinking (even a small glass) every night.

Thus, in an effort to drink something unusual, non-alcoholic, and healthy for my gut, I found an organic, full fat kefir drink made by a family run business. I love this stuff! I started drinking it a few months ago and no more heartburn! Mind you, I had never experienced heartburn (or acid reflux) my whole life! My guess is because I am AB blood type and produce a very low amount of stomach acid. At any rate, cutting out the wine definitely resolved the issue. The kefir just helps rebuild healthy gut flora.

Then came, Koso.

Richard and I just happened upon some Japanese foodie type videos and one introduced us to Koso. Wow! We both love it! This stuff, mixed with sparkling mineral water is such a great substitute for wine and other alcoholic drinks for me! We’re now on the subscription plan for two bottles a month, but I may up it to three or four if I can stay off the alcohol. It’s THAT good! Yum!

I follow the Is-ness or ‘Snails Path’

Energy is the power behind ALL. Source creates. ALL rises, falls, undulates, pulsates, spins, whirls, collapses, expands, shrinks. The Dao (Daoism) emanates from the dot. Holism envelopes. ALL simply IS. Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL.

Be like water. Find your own level. Balancing all the time. To read more on the Is-ness: https://sheilamurrey.net/2023/09/29/is-ness/

Integrating the Spirals: Scammers

Have you ever thought you were chatting with Keanu Reeves or Kevin Costner? It’s happened to me!

This is not Keanu: Inside the Billion-Dollar Celebrity Impersonation Bitcoin Scam: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/hollywood-celebrity-impersonation-scam-1236309121/?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&user_id=66c4c6965d78644b3ab742a0

I wrote about some of these scams before, but this article by Rebecca Keegan for The Hollywood Reporter was full of more details than I ever thought of when it comes to these scammers (and why they want to move your chat to Telegram)!

I almost hate to comment on YouTube or Facebook posts of people I don’t know, because invariably some scammer tries to lure me to another platform or chat. Ugh! It’s so annoying!

Gullible

I’m gullible at times or in a mood to see how far they’ll go, so I play along—for a little while. But I tell you, 100% of the time, it’s a scammer.

Don’t waste your time on them, please. And certainly NEVER send bitcoin, money, gift cards, etc. to anyone you don’t know!

Integrating the Spirals: Travelin’ old sucks

It’s taken a good 14 days for me to recuperate from a sucky summer cold. And I’ll tell ya, I am not jumping back to the good near as fast as I used to!

I wrote some of this before, but let me break it down more fully here:

I spent over $1,000 (mostly on the hotel for four nights and gas for my daughter’s car) and rode shotgun in my daughter’s car (with my daughter driving), her 8-year old twins in the second seat, and her 13-year old daughter in the third row seat.

Ah, yes, travelin’ with the children. So much fun! Add to this that the trip was some 14-plus hours (each way) from New Hampshire to my home state–and all to attend my 45th high school reunion. However, joy of joys (note my extreme sarcasm) a mere three HOURS before I was to go to the reunion dinner, I got all feverish and started experiencing the chills, big time! No way could I attend! And that was super annoying. All I could do was lay in bed, shivering, and wrapping myself in towels, and anything else I could easily grab.

Alone in the hotel room

My daughter had taken the girls to her dad’s house about a half hour from the hotel and my best friend and her husband were going to pick me up and take me to the reunion dinner that I’d already pre-paid for. Sad to say, I had to call them and give them the bad news that I’d suddenly taken ill. Mind you, the sciatica I’d experienced months ago that the chiropractor had fixed, returned the night before! Ugh! It was enough to deal with the sciatica again, plus the sore hip that had been bothering me for a couple of months, so I couldn’t imagine anything else going wrong. But it sure did! I was quite the mess!

To relieve the sciatica and hip issues, I’d thought it would be a good idea to take a hot bath. We don’t have a bath tub at home so I’d brought an herbal packet with me in case there was a tub in the hotel bathroom (and there was).

So, about 3pm on the day of the reunion dinner, and yes, while all the girls were away, I’d gotten into the tub. By now, you might guess what was to happen. I used the handrail to get into the tub, but slipped on the way to sit down and yes, I guess it re-aligned my back because the sciatica went away (and hasn’t returned). And I wouldn’t think a hot bath would bring on a fever, but something did!

I get the whole “correlation isn’t causation” thought-process and while I laid shivering in bed that came to my mind, as well as when I had gotten chilled a couple days before (while taking the girls swimming in the hotel indoor pool). Between the chill and then the hot bath a couple days later though? I don’t know. My guess now is that everything converged to reduce my immunity and then, whatever my daughter had when we left, took hold of me. I tend to pick up stuff just within a few days of exposure. And sitting next to her in the car for all of those hours makes the most sense to cause me to get ill.

I did a full writeup about our trip several days ago: https://sheilamurrey.net/2025/07/22/integrating-the-spirals-family-first-road-trip-vacation-45th-high-school-reunion/

All of this simply to reiterate that travelin’ old SUCKS!

I really do not want to take a long road trip like that again.

Integrating the Spirals: Analysis of Covid Vaccines

Are people really still ignoring the evidence surrounding the efficacy and ill effects of these particular vaccines?

This article leaves me dumbfounded as to why world governments have yet to pull these vaccines off the market.

Yes, I am mystified!
