Dittany is a working library of research and analysis — built first as a personal reference, shared first because the information may be useful to others. The writing follows two directions: Politics & Systems, covering how power operates in American governance, and Vital Systems, covering chronic illness, physiology, and practical health information. Each section documents patterns, mechanisms, and evidence over time.


Vital Systems

Vital Systems

This body of work delves into important health questions on subjects such as iron deficiency, thyroid health, and more. It also includes sustained, detailed work on chronic illness: pernicious anemia, gut and microbiome function, helminthic therapy, DMSO, and more.


Politics & Systems

Politics & Systems

This body of work examines how power actually operates in American governance. It covers wealth extraction, money in politics, psychopolitics, voter suppression, war, federal data analyses, and values-based decision making.
