Soil health and its relations to plant, animal and consequently human health

@questforhealth said in Soil health and its relations to plant, animal and consequently human health:
but our food lacks the very thing Dr Peat told us about
q4h, please be a bit more careful with your statements. You're making them to yourself before you make them to anyone else. This one in particular is a bit ridiculous.
Short food supply chains might be "optimal". But there's nothing to fear in the meantime. The chemist inside you is probably smarter than you. Just don't make pop-tarts and the like a staple.
Cheerio, I must get back to work.

Quite possibly q4h. I'm just keen for you not to alienate yourself from the plentiful, whole food sources that are quite easily accessible to most people.
It wouldn't have the form or taste it does if it were really as tainted as a lot of the dodgy information online might suggest. That said, I do most of my shopping at a "super"market and don't have the space to grow anything without significant effort and expense. So on the one hand I would say this.
On the other hand, I don't have any health complaints beyond an unquenchable thirst to learn things. And in my experience, they were always a result of my behaviour and choices. Which often stemmed from advice I should have thought critically of before acting. The learning addiction is probably perpetuated by my job and media consumption. It usually quiets when I chill out for a while.

Yeah I don't know I've been buying organic food only and I'm not sure if it's overkill. I don't believe pesticides and stuff like that are safe. Anything that isn't biological is like throwing sand in an engine... Might get away with it might not
I just believe in nature and biology because I am starting to know how it works
The thing is, if the farmers would grow the food the right way there wouldn't be a need for us to do this. Everyone would have good food. Thats why I talk about this stuff. Because we need good food for all.
-
All fair positions there q4h. Maybe I'm preempting extreme that would never be if I said nothing at all.
Except the last paragraph I just saw added. The produce I buy seems fine to me. Whoever's growing that must be doing alright. I would prefer to know them none the less.
I do like sand quite a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to dig my bare feet in to it for a while this summer.
-
I want to go to the beach more this summer... Feet on sand is perfect.. Grounding

Honestly wish my health would come back so I could experiment... Eat supermarket food for a few months and see... Then eat organic and homegrown and so on... It's worth trying yourself to see. We never know what can happen.

@questforhealth yeah bacteria in large intestine is very good you just want small intestine sterile, without overgrowth. what type of soil? should i just go nearby park and progressive overload starting small like pinch of dirt and work up larger over time
-
I've been taking capsules, going to try once a week for now I just take vitamin capsules and empty them out and put soil in, Yeah build up slowly I guess. An old farmer once told me we need to eat a certain amount of soil and it was some old measurement that I can't convert but it's more than we think
Somewhere wild would be best because we don't want chemicals but also I think it could make sibo worse but I've read that soil probiotics can make it better so I'm not sure... Maybe you need to be at least somewhat healthy to do this stuff first. I felt a warm feeling in my gut after doing it funnily enough. I'm not that healthy yet.
If you know someone who grows vegetables try a muddy carrot salad....
-
Honestly this stuff is shocking to think about, antibiotics at an early age wouldn't be so bad if someone told you just to eat muddy vegetables to fix the microbiome after...
Generations before us all took antibiotics. We have been left with a lot of catchup work...
