Rhona Mitra Instagram – This is a post for people trying to navigate toxic environments whether it be people or places. How to be an agency for our own change and take accountability for our suffering and the suffering we inflict upon ourselves, each other and our fellow sentient beings, the animal kingdom and the natural world.
Now 10 years in remission from an encephalitis diagnosis from a 💉 injury, recently making a choice to immerse myself into hugely and heavily polluted environments wasn’t an easy call.
Suffice to say it didn’t go well.
I Just ejected from one of the most polluted cities in the world—Cairo—
where heavy fumes from banned fuels still saturate the air.
These emissions are filled with neurotoxins like lead, benzene, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides—chemicals that directly impair the nervous system, disrupt neurotransmitters, and trigger inflammation in the brain.
Long-term exposure is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive decline, and autoimmune flare-ups.
But hey… our health and safety is worth jeopardizing for a measly paycheck, right? (Not to mention this is all taking place in a major conflict zone…)
With my history of autoimmune issues and this level of exposure I’ve been forced back into detox mode after years of healing and remediation.
And because I still receive mail regarding autoimmune issues since New Lives in The Wild I was called to remember my two part conversation with my friend @darinolien on navigating toxic environments, toxic situations, and toxic people.
How do we read the signs and make different choices rather than falling victim to circumstance?
Now, probably more than ever, we need to fortify ourselves—physically, mentally, and energetically—to withstand the intensity of these particularly shitty times.
Detox. Discern. Defend.
Stay impenetrable.
Stay whole.
For those who missed it which I think were quite a few as people are loathed to discuss the negative impact of vaccines and neurotoxins Im putting it out there again.
Because it’s a bloody lonely mire that no western doctor or therapist will navigate with you.
Hope it helps
