Whenever I think of the Diamond remedy I am reminded of Princess Di. She was called the Queen of Hearts. It should have been Queen of Diamonds. Once a dowdy and unconfident school teacher, her light was not her own but a reflection of her husband’s fame. After years under the tremendous heat and pressure of being a royal, her soft carbon identity mutated into a hard, brilliant diamond, one that carried its own light. Yet the low self-esteem always remained and the imbalance of power between two extremes led to an early death, much like her sister Adamas, Marilyn Monroe. From the weak layered carbon, the strength of the adamas tetrahedral is the bond of our identity. This is what Pink Floyd meant when they sang: “Shine on you crazy diamond!” In the treasure chest of our materia medica, Adamas is a true jewel.
