Hetero Awesome presents "Inside Nature’s Pharmacy" with guest Michelle McAninch

HeteroAwesome.org presents an interview that takes everything you think you know about medicine and throws it in the compost pile. Michelle, founder of Tamarac Garden Family Farm, doesn’t just talk about natural remedies—she lives them, teaches them, and has helped countless people turn weeds into weapons against everything from eczema to cancer.

In this episode, she walks through her real-life crash course into herbalism after her son nearly died while doctors insisted it was just COVID. What followed was a deep dive into local plants, ancient remedies, and a full rejection of the pharmaceutical system she says is built on control, misinformation, and profit—not healing.

Expect to hear:

The story of how her son’s illness exposed the medical system's blind spots

Why she trusts a weed more than a prescription

The Flexner Report and how Rockefeller money restructured American medicine

Her go-to cures for menstrual cramps, arthritis, insomnia, acne, burns, asthma, parasites, and more

The banned plants Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about

Why skin salves, tea, and tallow are outperforming modern meds

How the American Cancer Society and Big Pharma grew out of the same machine

Why she teaches people to become their own healer—with what’s already in their backyard

This conversation covers history, corruption, everyday ailments, and the raw power of plants most people treat like yard waste. It’s practical, controversial, and often hilarious.
