Instinctive Measures
0 - Default Title
Description
For Stephen Beardwood, the war didn't stop when he returned home from deployment. Having been administered mefloquine, a controversial drug that had not passed clinical trials, he faced a different kind of enemy: devastating side effects that turned his life upside down. He calls it what it truly is-poisoning.
In Instinctive Measures, follow the engaging and emotional journey of a warrior striving to reclaim his health, sanity, and place in the world. Struggling with a body and mind in turmoil, he embarks on a path of recovery that is as much about healing relationships as it is about physical and mental well-being.
Through the journey to reconnect with his children, family, friends, and veteran community, he discovers the strength within himself and the power of genuine love and support. By embracing plant-based medicine and a whole-food diet, he finds a natural path to healing, rejecting the processed foods and prescription drugs that failed him.
This is not just a personal story but a powerful call to action. He advocates fiercely for veterans' rights, demanding more equitable pensions and veteran centric institutions and care. His voice is a beacon for others, highlighting the need for systemic reforms and a compassionate approach to those who have served.
Instinctive Measures is more than a memoir. It's a manifesto for change, a testament to resilience, and a moving story of learning not just to survive but to thrive. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true costs of war, the plight of veterans, and the power of community.
