And some people can not understand how they make oxalate in their liver and is not just from eaten vegetables and fruits. It is because the fungus on plants (aspergillus) gets into the liver where it combines with Vitamin C ascorbic acid to make Oxalate crystals while you sleep. Oxalates are mostly endogenous not from external sources. For those who don't know what oxalates are - think kidney stones but everywhere.

I just sat down after having spent a good part of my day into evening trimming back and disposing branches from my 35-foot row of 100+ year-old lilac trees. Am picking those 'watermelon-like seeds' from my hair as I type (well, kinda). Anyway, Northern Minnesota here, and my lilac trees as well as my neighbor's got hit by some nefarious slow kill chemical concoction from above sometime back in early August. It's like whatever it was the effers sprayed just sucked every drop of moisture from the foliage. Another neighbor and I were talking earlier, wondering where all the songbirds are; have only seen one late-summer robin return where she told me she has seen two. Otherwise, my apple trees are doing alright: no cheesy or toe fungus smell, lol. My kids call me "shark-nose," so come harvest time I will be sure to sniff. Anyway, thanks so much for an interesting read, Patrick Jordan!
