INTRODUCTION
‘The Wheel of Health’ refers to the circular interconnection between soil, the
organisms living in the soil, plants, animals and human beings --- and the ultimate
dependence of all health on the quality of the soil. In these respects, the results of
chemical agriculture are contrasted in this report with those of ecological agriculture.
The evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of ecological farming. This fact alone
makes a strong case against the introduction into commercial growing of any plant
that is designed to be dependent upon chemicals, especially one that is intended for
the nourishment of human beings or animals.

TOMORROW
1.1 Ecological Farming Methods
1.1.1 Evidence on ecological farming from the 1930s
The title of this report is taken from a book of that name first published in 1938 by Dr
G.T. Wrench (published by The C.W. Daniel Company Ltd., London; reprinted 1960
by Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A.;
reprinted 1990 by Bernard Jensen International, Escondido, California). When a
medical student, he asked himself: ‘Why study only disease? Why not study health?’
Eventually he came upon the writings of Sir Robert McCarrison, who went to India
after receiving his medical qualification. At first he, too, studied disease amongst the
native population. But while he was stationed as Agency Surgeon at Gilgit, at the
north-east tip of Pakistan, he came into contact with the people of Hunza, a land in a high mountain valley some 60 miles further north. He wrote [p. 26 of Wrench]: ‘My own experience provides an example of a race unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in general. I refer to the people of the State of Hunza, situated in the extreme northernmost point of India.... Amongst these people the span of life is extraordinarily long; and such service as I was able to render them during the seven years I spent in their midst was confined chiefly to the treatment of accidental lesions, the removal of senile cataract, plastic operations for granular lids, or the treatment of maladies wholly unconnected with food supply’. (McCarrison had been studying deficiency diseases). The cataracts and the irritation of the lids, he thought, might be caused by the smoke of heating the houses in winter. [Continuing on p. 27]: ‘During the period of my association with these people, I never saw a case of asthenic dyspepsia, of gastric or duodenal ulcer, of appendicitis, of mucous colitis, of cancer.... Among these people the “abdomen over-sensitivity” to nerve impressions, to fatigue, anxiety or cold was unknown.’
The Hunzakuts are an agrarian people, cultivating terraced fields. The many small fields are irrigated from a glacier. Everything that originates from the soil is returned to the soil.
