A LETTER TO OAKLAND FAMILIES ADDRESSING

THE INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL.

Dear Families,

In the wake of a turbulent year marked by insecurity, fear, anxiety and grief, many are left in disbelief over the unprecedented insurrection that unfolded in the US Capitol on Wednesday, January 6th. We watched the assault on American Democracy and the destruction and blatant disregard of federal property and public servants.

Many of us likely feel exhausted. This event adds to the compounded stress for Black, Indigenous People of Color who have gone through so much including exacerbated hardships of systemic racism and inequity illuminated by COVID-19, the emotional toll and labor of rallying against police brutality, and a volatile election season. We understand the pain of this moment is not isolated. As we face the ongoing resurfacing of institutional racism, we must collectively seek ways to heal ourselves and our community.

Today we want to remind our community that we all stand on the shoulders of our ancestors who experienced and overcame unimaginable challenges (slavery, the walk of tears, the fight for civil rights, fleeing homelands due to violence and persecution, the Jim Crow era, genocide, Exclusion Acts, WWII and border separations, interment camps, civil wars, etc.). Our ancestors’ strength and resilience is embedded in our DNA and we can call on that ancestral medicine and wisdom to aid us in our healing. We want to remind parents and caregivers that right now self-care is absolutely essential. Loving, supporting and being present with your family and loved ones is a balm for times like these.

Lotus Bloom remains committed to uplifting and supporting Oakland families to come together as a community to provide children with a rich learning foundation. Most of all, we want you to know that you can count on us to continue providing family-centered programs and resources that center you, your healing, your growth and empowerment. We encourage you to take care of yourself and nurture your connection with loved ones, take time to breathe deeply, practice moments of mindfulness, incorporate gratitude, recharge in nature and seek ways to nourish your soul.

We love you and we are here for you, always.

In Caring Community,
All of us at Lotus Bloom

I was diagnosed with HSV2 in my eye and mouth from semen. I had no idea regretfully that it could be transferred through semen on your face. As I suffered two weeks of continuous pain and rash in the right eye and mouth suspecting herpes then I went to run a test and was diagnosed with hsv2. It was then that I realized it had finally gotten to me despite how much I have always tried to play safe. I started taking lysine and supplements except valtrex because I heard that I can’t get off without having nonstop outbreaks if I take valtrex. A month later I included acyclovir eye drops and pain killer and many other herpes treatment I can get then to prevent blindness. I tried everything for two years to cure myself but to no tangible results . I became worried and afraid of losing eyesight and also my hearing since I was told that herpes can travel from your eye to the ears.
I can't bear the thought of losing an eye and my hearing because of my ignorance which has already begun affecting my mental health. I encouraged myself and started attending seminars and anything that could help with my mental health. During this period someone I called God sent saw the sores and recognised it was a herpes infection. She told me that Dr Utu herbal cure had cured her when she was in a similar situation to me. I became interested and she gave me his email address [email protected]. I contacted Dr Utu who assured me that after treatment there will be no more herpes in my body. In good faith, I decided to give him a trial for the sake of my mental health. He prepared me four weeks herbal treatment that permanently cured me. I have done HSV test to be sure and the result came out negative. I am living my life without any fear of losing my eyesight or hearing.
No more depression or anxiety I have gotten back my life with Dr Utu Herbal Cure and I feel much satisfied 💯

EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET YOUR HERPES CURE/MEDICINE ORDER FROM DR. ODUNGA HERBAL REMEDIES

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

I had unprotected oral sex and intercourse. Two days later I experienced a burning, itching sensation in my genitals as well as left lower abdonimal pain. It felt like a small bump inside my vagina. The bump was almost like an ingrown hair but not painful and disapeared within two days. The doctor said it didn’t not look like herpes despite the other symptoms i was experiencing. 6 days after exposure i had an igG done that tested for active herpes 1. I was told it will remain with me forever and i should always inform my partner before intercourse. It is difficult and impossible for me to tell anyone i have hsv1 because no one will want to stay when it involves an easily transmitted infection like herpes. I decided to remain lonely and find an alternative methods that was when I saw testimonies of people Dr Utu have cured herpes
I copied the email and contacted him. I ordered the herpes herbal cleanser and he sent me a form which i filled with my detailed health history.
After filling out a detailed form regarding my condition, I felt a glimmer of hope for the first time since my diagnosis.
I wasn't around when my herbs arrived but when I got home I started treatment immediately
Dr Utu Herbal Cure was a turning point in my life. I followed his guidance carefully, and within short moment, my symptoms began to diminish significantly. I felt healthier and more like myself again, free from the burdens of herpes.
After the completion of treatment i went for a test and my result came out hsv1 negative meaning herpes was not detectable. Anyone suffering from Hepes Virus, Shingles, or warts can reach Dr Utu at
[email protected] for the herpes herbal cleanser it worked perfectly

I got infected with genital herpes (HSV2) from group sex party 6 years ago
I started taking lysine 3000 mg of lysine once a day and it worked well for me during outbreaks but it was not enough for me as it does not stop it from breaking out anytime without warning. I endured this for years.
The fear of a future outbreak made me look for an alternative and I was directed to try Dr Utu Herbal Cure.
Amazingly, it worked so well for me, I can't believe it
Dr Utu Herbal Cure completely cured me hsv2 and I have stayed up to two years with no outbreaks and no side effects from even treatment. It's been life changing.
If you still suffering contact him at

I was Diagnosed with HSV2 14 years ago. I received information on tablets I could use to reduce the outbreaks. I Searched for a natural remedy. As an active gym enthusiast and going through the stresses in life, I had outbreaks nearly every month that lasted weeks. I tried everything i could possibly use. Tea tree oil stung like anything, Lysine sometimes worked, but I'd have to take 6000mg+ every day, which made me tired. Hot baths did nothing either. Smoking and drinking definitely assisted in causing outbreaks. So I cut these two out as it had health consequences being in my mid-30s. Exercise of any sort resulted in outbreaks. Manscaping would cause outbreaks too. Depression was getting worse; I had no sex life anymore and I needed to be me. Not a fan of prescribed medicine and i was avoiding the doctors being 'manly'. but I thought, what the heck. I went online and after seeing positive reviews of Dr Utu Herbal Cure on sites, and it's saved my life. I ordered Dr Utu Herbal Cure through his email [email protected] and follow up with the treatment plan for complete four weeks. I went for a blood test and was confirmed HSV2 negative. Went for another hospital and the test results was the same, NEGATIVE. This results alone is a complete healing to my overall health and 13+ years of depression gone in an instant

I have had 4 sexual partners in 30 years including a 25 year marriage. Then luckily met a wonderful man both he and I have a strong attraction to one another and under normal circumstances would probably have sex daily. I value our relationship and we decided to be sexually monogamous and also decided to get routine STD tests. To my astonishment and horror my results were that I had antibodies for HSV2.
I have never ever had an outbreak of genital herpes, but have read about shedding. The idea of using drugs daily is not good for me, it was a nightmare. Even though he had promised to always stand by me and that hsv2 would never come in between us I was still not satisfied. We decided to work this out together, and I am happy about that but not comfortable because I would wish for him to feel protected. The pressure on my head forced me to start searching for blogs and forums to see if anyone has ever been completely cured. Then I started seeing testimonies of people who have claimed herbal medicine cured their herpes. Among them all Dr Utu Herbal Cure got my attention and I decided to give him a first trial before checking another, lo and behold he was my last. His herbal medicine cured me and when I went for another test I was tested hsv2 negative. Anyone going through Hsv2 can contact Dr Utu at [email protected]

Greetings on Easter. It brings me great joy to share this extraordinary story of how Dr. Utu, an esteemed traditional African herbalist, successfully and permanently cured me of my herpes virus using his herpes herbal cleansers.
For more than a year, I had been plagued by a herpes infection. I had tried various treatment methods to eradicate this debilitating disease, but none proved effective. Initially, I doubted that any ailment could be considered incurable in this world, so I turned my faith to God through prayer.
A few months ago, during my online searches, I came across numerous recommendations for Dr. Utu's Herbal Cure and his use of the herpes herbal cleanser to treat herpes virus infections. These testimonials suggested that Dr. Utu could assist with any health issue, offering immediate help.
I reached out to Dr. Utu via email, detailing my situation and illness. He confidentially informed me that he would prepare the herpes herbal cleanser for me and assured me of his guidance throughout the four week treatment period. He also requested my address for shipping purposes.
Dr. Utu sent me the herbal cure by DHL Express Courier and following the prescribed regimen, I noticed positive changes in my body within a few days. I contacted Dr. Utu again, and he encouraged me to continue the treatment. After completing the four weeks, I contacted him once more, and he suggested I undergo a retest. I arranged for another blood test with my lab doctor.
The test results were astonishing; my lab doctor confirmed that I was now herpes free, and my blood tests showed excellent health.
I am utterly amazed! Today, I am free from herpes, and I urge everyone to be aware that a cure exists. For those still facing this challenge, I encourage you to contact Dr. Utu at [email protected]
