I've heard of nettle as a diuretic, as well as a urinary cure-all.

Whether it has one or both effects, it doesn't seem like a great plan to eat a medicinal herb in quantities high enough to get one's daily iron from it. That's a lot of side effects to avoid spending $6 on a bottle of ferrous gluconate.

''Stinging nettle is used for diabetes and osteoarthritis. It is sometimes used for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), muscle pain, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific research to support these uses. ''

LOL

Just buying a bottle of dietary supplement/vitamins wouldn't fit into and support her retarded LARP as an old timey queer wytch doctor taking it up against The Man.

Applies to almost all of traditional medicine. What's not included is her mistaking a poisonous plant for a safe one - like she did on twatter - and being rushed to the ER to have her stomach pumped.

Interestingly enough, on the subject of anemia and using evidence to assess traditional practices:
Old wives upheld: Nailed apples help keep anemia away

You can't tell me that wouldn't fit the spooky witch aesthetic. (Much more mystickal than cooking in cast iron, or going to the drugstore.)

I won’t copy the whole Twitter dump just for the one thing to sperg about, but I have never seen anyone describe fatigue as having x amount of energy per day. That’s not how it works. I’d totally side eye anyone who used that description.

At the risk of sperging, I’ll try and keep it brief. Fatigue is a state of having no energy and a constant need to rest and sleep. You get things done by sheer will power. Imagine you’ve not slept for 48hrs but the dog shit on the rug and you have to clean it up. You don’t know if you have it in you and for a while you wonder if it can even wait for you to sleep first. It’s not that you have energy to clean it up, it’s that you didn’t but you had to anyway.

Staph is describing what it feels like to be a normal person who gets tired after activity, but she’s so deconditioned that she tires quicker than most.

I'm skeptical that she can reliably identify three wild plants in the first place. I hope she's harvesting her dandelion roots from the yard; that'd be a nice favor for her dad.

Single-ingredient nettle tea has 0.38mg of iron per brewed cup; the commercial nettle teas don't even list iron content on the label. If any part of this is helping her anemia I think the molasses (and the hysterectomy) is doing the heavy lifting.

I'm not a witch or a hippie, but even I know off the top of my head that nettle and dandelion root are both diuretics. Probably not a good idea to eat them in the heroic quantities you'd need to raise iron levels. If taking a vitamin is too Establishment and meat's off the table, how about cooking up some spinach?

Spinach being a good source of iron is a myth started over a wrong decimal place. It’s a nice little story to throw around if nothing else.

always a ray of sunshine, huh gyro?

i don't think having a fucky vagina counts as a disability unless it's causing pain (i hear vulvodynia is pretty life-ruining) but your dad thinking people piss from their vags isn't ableist, it's just him being stupid

I'm still not fully convinced that Staph doesn't think she pisses from her vag

Yeah I think in her demented head all leftists are Satanists.

I was told that dandelion root tea is good for the liver, and I sincerely doubt Stephanie has any liver diseases, just obesity and narcissism and delusions that she is a sexy succubus/porn star.
