Organic & good bacteria
My parents had a large garden my whole life. It influenced me in so many ways.
I love plants so much, and have a strong desire to be self-sufficient. Watching teeny seeds grow is a blessing each and every time. I wish I spent more time as a child weeding, learning and just watching.
If only we had clearer pictures of what our passions will be when we grow up so that we could nurture them.
Eating most of our food straight off the land affected how I view food.
Later in life, when I asked people their childhood memories when it comes to food, many would say they remember cake at parties, pop, ice cream, french fries, ect.
Well, my food memories are standing in the garden eating raspberries, peas, rubbing carrots on my pants to clean off the dirt and eating them, just like that.
(Farm kids often hear, "A little dirt is good for you")
We also spent many summer days picking blueberries and mushrooms in the forest.
We live in a time where organic farming is catching up to chemical farming. We all are trying to get in as much organic as we can afford.
Many people only think the benefit of organic is avoiding the chemicals. But that's just a small piece of the picture.
Chemical farmed plants are the weakest, biggest wusses of any plants. They have no ability to defend themselves from pests, mold, and bad bacteria.
There are many reasons why.
Firstly, traditional gardening is all about the soil. To make healthy soil, you add every scrap of veggies that you have from your kitchen all winter long and the rest of the year.
This variety of compost builds nutrition in the soil. This also brings good bacteria to the ground.
And all through history, people have used wood ashes on their gardens. They also put their pee on their gardens.
Both wood ash and pee are full of minerals. So the soil had fresh supplies all the time.
But chemical farmed plants have very little nutrition because farmers are adding chemical fertilizer.
Not only are the components of this fertilizer- chemical based, not mineral from the earth, but they have a small spectrum of what plants will absorb.
Scientists have admitted- beyond vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients, macro-nutrients, ect. -there are likely hundreds of more components.
Fertilizer companies say plants only need 3 or 4 minerals, but they will actually absorb 60 or more minerals if it's in the soil.
It is these 60 minerals that humans need.
By the way, dogs need 40, rats need 28, but human baby formula only has 11. No wonder we're so sick!
There has been talk, when pioneers came to North America, potatoes were HUGE! One could feed a whole family.
That's because the soil was extremely rich from all the bison manure. That's why we need to feed the soil with other decomposing plants and manure, just like nature.
So chemical grown plants don't have the nutrition they need from the soil, and the plants are pathetic.
When we eat them, they are pathetic in our body as well.
And these plants need more and more chemicals to fight off bad bacteria, mold and viruses.
They become less alkaline, because like humans, chemicals make them acidic.
In a natural environment, weeds are considered perennials.
Annuals have very shallow roots because they only have a few months to grow. But perennials have roots many, many feet long. They need this because they don't get watered and also need to search for nutrition deep in the soil.
They bring wonderful components to the soil. Perennials have much more nutrition than a plant only a few months old.
So eat as many local, wild plants as you can.
It's just all wrong that we're not growing our own food!
Chemical sprays kill off the oxygen in the plant. Just using tap water on a plant makes it weaker.
Tap water- not only is the fluoride nasty to the plant, but chlorine does incredible damage. Chlorine kills off oxygen!
It kills off good bacteria, making the plant weaker and more vulnerable to bad bacteria, mold, and parasites.
Rain water, on the other hand, is slightly acidic, killing off some bad bacteria. It has natural hydrogen peroxide which the plant absorbs to make it even more oxygenated, and adds oxygen the soil.
Back to soil: all this good compost attracts worms and all sorts of healthy bugs.
Worm poo puts in the soil exactly what it needs to be rich. You can take brown, dry soil, add compost and worms, and it probably will turn into beautiful, black, rich soil.
In chemical farming, because they add toxins to the soil, good bacteria and worms can't live!
They will burn to death.
So in organic farming, the fertilizer that's used is green manure, so the soil has more minerals.
Eating as much organic as possible, not only has more nutrition, but good bacteria is also an overlooked secret of health.
Chemical plants are weak and covered in bad bacteria. Before coming to market, they are irradiated. This kills off bad bacteria and the very few good bacteria left. All good bacteria are long dead.
These plants are the opposite of what we need. We need highly alkaline (high in minerals) and highly oxygenated plants, covered in good bacteria.
That's what makes us beautiful, slim, disease free.
We need to get as much of these plants as we can afford. We can forage for wild plants and grow our own on every window sill in our home, balcony, and every
inch of soil we own!
I often laugh that there's no such thing as vegetarians!
Herbivores, even though they aren't eating animal products, they do eat oodles and oodles of micro-organisms. And these micro-organisms are technically little animals. We are in a symbiotic relationship with these critters.
Have you ever had so many cherries locally grown, that suddenly you have to run to the washroom?
Many people think this is diarrhoea and is your body getting rid of something it doesn't want.
That's true when you get food poisoning. But eating fresh fruit is different. It is covered in good bacteria. It self-cleans our colons of bad bacteria and parasites.
On top of that, the enormous amount of biological water literally washes your colon clean.
This is a natural healthy process. Good bacteria are our buddies.
