"During the late 1970s, as Paul McCartney navigated his post-Beatles career with Wings, he also embraced a quieter, more domestic side of life with Linda McCartney. At their farm in Peasmarsh, Sussex, Paul developed a love for baking, inspired by Linda’s vegetarian lifestyle and their shared passion for self-sufficiency. Often waking up early to knead dough before heading to the recording studio, he found solace in the simple act of making bread. This period saw the McCartneys fully immersed in a back-to-basics lifestyle, raising their children—Mary, Stella, Heather, and James—away from the spotlight while maintaining a strong presence in the music industry. His homemade bread became a staple in the family kitchen, reinforcing their commitment to natural, wholesome living.
Throughout the 1970s, Paul and Linda’s bond was inseparable, both musically and personally. Wings soared with albums like Band on the Run (1973) and London Town (1978), with Linda contributing harmonies and keyboards. While critics initially dismissed her musical abilities, Paul fiercely defended her, valuing authenticity over technical perfection. At home, their creative energy extended beyond music—Paul’s bread-making became a cherished family tradition, often shared with friends visiting their Sussex estate or their retreat in Campbeltown, Scotland. Linda, a pioneer in vegetarianism, was already conceptualizing Linda McCartney Foods, a brand that would later revolutionize the plant-based industry. Their lifestyle was a testament to their belief in sustainability, long before it became a global movement.
As the decade came to an end, Paul continued his journey as both a rock icon and a devoted family man. The image of him proudly presenting his freshly baked loaves symbolizes more than just a domestic hobby—it reflects his grounding in the simple joys of life, despite being one of the most famous musicians in the world. Even after Linda’s passing in 1998, her influence remained strong, especially in how Paul maintained their family values and continued supporting ethical causes. Stella McCartney, now a renowned fashion designer, frequently credits her parents’ dedication to cruelty-free living as the foundation of her brand. Paul’s bread-making was not just about sustenance but a reflection of love, creativity, and the warmth of a home filled with music, laughter, and unwavering devotion."

Just drank my Essiac tea, thank God the dose is only 3 ounces 3 times a day, just nasty tastin stuff

Consider getting rid of that and trying something else. You already do everything, the apricot kernels and other things you've spoken of.

There is a lot of controversy around Essiac tea, which has the name of the original promoter of it spelled backwards, "Rene Caisse".

I think there are better choices, but you're the boss.
