in process....




BIO, The International Biotechnology Convention, was held
last June in San Diego. I was part of the Press Corps. I went
looking for the Monsanto booth. It was listed in the program,
but Monsanto had no booth, only a business card. At the booth was
an Ag School from Saint Louis, and a new friend to be made.
I introduced him to KEEP The BEET Media Star. We all made
friends. I was surprised that one of the giveaways at the booth
was some organically grown cilantro seed.

KEEP The BEET Media Star
The World's First Talking BEET plant
just told me she is planting SEED DREAMS
that MANSANTO, the largest source of seeds
in the world, will soon create a new wave of people
interested in local, organic farming.

The Breakthrough conversation
just took place, as The GO TO BEET
and I were sharing mental notes
about the Great Potato Famine in
Ireland.

Here is a bit about this Famine.
It occurred when the Genetic Diversity
was so small, and people so dependent
on a single food, one kind of potato, that
one third of the population died,
according to this WIKIPEDIA STORY:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Irish_Famine

The Great Famine (Irish: An Gorta Mór[1] or An Drochshaol, lit: The Bad Life) was a period of starvation, disease and mass emigration between 1845 and 1852[2] during which the population of Ireland was reduced by 20 to 25 percent.[3] Approximately one million of the population died and a million more emigrated from Ireland's shores.[4] The proximate cause of famine was a potato disease commonly known as late blight.[5] Although blight ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, the impact and human cost in Ireland—where a third of the population was entirely dependent on the potato for food—was exacerbated by a host of political, social and economic factors which remain the subject of historical debate.[6][7]


Our economic collapse is driving home the point
that Multi-national Corporations are
larger than Governments. They and large US Corps,
such as AIG and CITIGROUP,
get so big that they lose their ground.

Eventually, these large potato-like institutions
become so ungrounded that they cannot take
a fall. Others, like ourselves, are forces to
make other decisions and shifts in lifestyle.

The smart money is now moving over
to where the money is going to be:
Natural Products, organically
grown, and locally grown,
and viable diverse seed banks in the hands
of small communities of people
and neighborhoods.

I once had a discussion with
a farmer at the Hillcrest Farmers' Market
about credit. He told me he did not
use credit cards. He said he "banked"
on compost.

Other than the
last 150 years or so, our food supply
has always been organic. Our wealth
has been grounded in healthy soil,
sez KEEP The BEET Media Star.

She sez that all wealth comes
from healthy soil

Getting too Big leads to the Humpty Dumpty
Syndrome.

Humpty Dumpty could not be put together
by all the Kings men once he fell.
He was too far from the ground.

Only his Soul could put Humpty Dumpty
back together. The Earth and the Soul
are soilmates, teaches KEEP The BEET.

WHAT IS THE NATURAL SOLUTION
TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY?

The solution to our economic woes today
involve the Return of the BEET,
people everywhere becoming their
own BEET KEEPERS.

BEET KEEPERS eventualy become seed savers.

New ENCHANTED GARDEN MEMBER JULES DERVAES,
creator of the ORIGINAL MODERN URBAN HOMSTEAD
in Pasadena, CA. spent time last night with KEEP The BEET Media Star
and me at the PATAGONIA WILD AND SCENIC ENVIRONMENTAL
FILM FESTIVAL.

Jules pointed out that in the Olden Days,
that the wealth of a local village depended on the diversity
of seeds. No Healthy Village would have ever thought
of letting some outside Village grow all their seeds.
Today we have given over our seeds, or allowed
large companies, too few of them, to take control
of our seed supply.

In times of hardship, the Villages would share from
their own storehouses of wealth. Wealth was
expressed by the diversity of their seed banks.

KEEP The BEET Media Star first went searching
to make friends with the folks from Mansanto
at last years BIO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION
in San Diego.

KEEP The BEET made many friends, seeking out the
Beautiful People of BIO. She did find beautiful people.
She told me at the time that she
he did not imagine that too many of them
had grown gardens in Kindergarden. They were
part of an education system that did not teach foundations.
They had gone on to PHD programs and scientific endeavors
without a foundation in basic garden principles.

Most people today have no idea
how to live here successfully on the ground
with healthy soil principles.

Those principles KEEP The BEET Media Star
taught to DR. BERNARD JENSEN, the famed
doctor who considered himself a Nature Boy.

Dr. Jensen's birthday was March 25. He would have
been 101. He had more than 350.000 patients
who came to him at his HIDDEN VALLEY HEALTH RANCH
that was considered 'THe Last Resort" by many.
Many returned to health through coming back
to pure, whole, natural foods, and walking
barefoot.

Dr. Jensen at a ripe old age came down with Cancer.
His docotrs told him he was too old for Chemotheraphy,
but he was hard of hearing.

He went home and took his own medicine and completely
recovered. Sadly, soon after he was well,
he again leaned toward imbalanced living
for a man of his years.

He worked too much and depleted his system.
He started to travel and expose himself to
too much stress.


Jensen again
came down with Cancer, but he left a legacy of
more than 50 books written over a lifetime.

Two of his books
of special interest to KEEP The BEET are
HEALTH MAGIC THROUGH CHLOROPYLL THROUGH
LIVING PLANT LIFE and SURVIVE THIS DAY.

Part of Jensen's MAGIC SURIVAL KIT, the books
are billed as a DOCTOR's PROGRAM FOR THESE CRITICAL
TIMES. The times he spoke of are the conditions
we are experiencing now.

I am grateful that in the early years of my own
exposure to soil principles, I had the opportunity
to help write these books from Dr. Jensen's words.


Many thanks to our friends at Mansanto
for helping to create such dire conditions.

A new back to the land movement,
the greatest in all the history of humanity,
is now called for.

The program can begin like this:

One Pot+One person=Your're a Gardener.
One Pot+One Person=A Nation of Gardener's

HERE ARE TEACHINGS FROM
KEEP the BEET MEDIA STAR's
LIBRARY OF FAVORITE BOOKS:

Here are a few paragraphs from the Online Reprint on line
that light me up:

FROM THE WHEEL OF HEALTH
by G.T. WRENCH M.D:


INTRODUCTION:

By studying the wings of birds in flight we have made our machines carry us through the air. By studying one of the healthiest peoples of the world we might so improve our methods of health as to become a really healthy people ourselves. A research in health is really promising. Well, here is one. Let us see if the promise is fulfilled.

PROGRESS BY RECOIL

Howard's two principal conclusions in this paper are so important that I have presumed to interpolate some italics. The two conclusions are:

"(1) Insects and fungi are not the real cause of plant diseases, and only attack unsuitable varieties or crops improperly grown. Their true role in agriculture is that of censors for pointing out the crops which are imperfectly nourished. Disease resistance seems to be the natural reward of healthy and well-nourished protoplasm. The frst step is to make the soil live by seeing that the supply of humus is maintained.

"(2 ) The policy of protecting crops from pests by means of sprays, powders and so forth is thoroughly unscientific and radically unsound; even when successful, this procedure merely preserves material hardly worth saving. The annihilation or avoidance of a pest involves the destruction of the real problem; such methods constitute no scientific solution of the trouble, but are mere evasions."

These words, especially those italicized, vividly express, not only the vegetable, but also the animal problem, and not only the animal, but the human.

The secondary conventional causes of disease are not the real causes of disease. Diseases only attack those whose outer circumstances, particularly food, are faulty. The genes of heredity are sound and eternally faithful to healthy life. It is not they who are the givers of disease and of susceptibility to disease, for "disease resistance seems to be the natural reward of well-nourished protoplasm." It is outer causes, not the inwardness of nature, that produce disease. Man is the author of his own destiny.

The prevention and banishment of disease are primarily matters of food; secondarily, of suitable conditions of environment. Antiseptics, medicaments, inoculations, and extirpating operations evade the real problem. Disease is the censor pointing out the humans, animals and plants who are imperfectly nourished. Its continuance and its increase are proofs that the methods used obscure, they do not attack, the radical problem.

Howard transferred the health of the soil to that of the vegetable, and that of the vegetable to that of the animal, and those of the vegetable and animal back again to the soil.

Transference, transference, transference--three transferences, that is the secret of health. These three transferences --soil to vegetable, vegetable to animal, animal and vegetable back to the soil--form the eternal wheel of health.
