In the video Chemical Farming and the Loss of Human Health | Dr. Zach Bush said, We’ve literary built the entire economy of not only the United States but the entire western civilization on health care. That has been a hidden reality for a long time, but for thousand of years the real control of population has been around their food. Now that we have seventy billon soul on this planet, it has become really big business when you start to be able to control food. The political control has been around the food chain and whether it delivers health. Dr. Bush said he is in an reductionist state of understand the world around us after spend 20+ years of his life study medicine, and the field of study had become more and more complicated by the minutes, there is thousands and thousands of diseases found with the current medical model, and ten thousands of drugs to treat those disease came along. Dr. Zach Bush’s work is critical in exposing the truth about our toxic food system or its health impact.
Zach Bush, MD is triple board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and hospice care. He is the founder of Seraphic Group, an organization devoted to developing root-cause solutions for human and ecological health in the sectors of big farming, big pharma, and Western Medicine at large. And he is also the founder of Farmers Footprint, a non-profit coalition of farmers, educators, doctors, scientists, and business leaders aiming to expose the deleterious human and environmental impacts of chemical farming and pesticide reliance — while simultaneously offering a path forward through regenerative agricultural practices.
Synthetic, or chemical, fertilizers are quicker than organic fertilizers at getting nutrients into the soil in a form that can be absorbed by plants. They are helpful at first, but the negative impacts can be long term and far-reaching. Though helpful to plants, the chemicals kill beneficial soil organisms.
- Feedback: Korean natural farming methods which use microbes bacteria and fungi to heal soil and grow incredible nutrient rich food,
- Audience Feedback: Midwest farmer won’t grow organic crops as he will lose his farm subsidies. He gets 60 percent of his income from growing crops that are sprayed with chemicals. If he grows organic he gets nothing. 85 percent of crops grown in the Midwest are for animal feed. Big corporations run our country including Mayo Clinic and large hospitals.
- audience feedback: I’m really trying to wake people up to the truth that the chemicals in our environment are affecting us, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I want to know the truth and find a solution to help further heal the world.
- Feedback: As far as I recall, when I was in school in the 1960s, there were virtually no kids on any medications. Now, in 2023, the number of kids with social anxiety, health problems, and medications is staggering. When I go to the doctor, the first thing he says to me is, ” What medications are you taking” he almost doesn’t believe me when I say no medications at all. I have just turned 60.
- Feedback: It’s ridiculous and sad that so many people view our species as “separate from nature.”
- Feedback: A cured patient is a lost customer. The world is waking up to this.
- feedback: My mom always staunchly refused to take us to the hospital for mild colds/flus/etc. because she said they’d just put us on endless antbiotics. She also refused to give us sweet cereals/poptarts for breakfast like all the other kids did. We only got one soda per week. It seemed unfair/silly at the time to me but in retrospect it was brilliant.
Pesticides have a bad rep, but they have been instrumental in feeding growing populations through history. Feedback: Even pesticide commonly used in organic farms allowed in most contries you will find Copper or Sufur derivates that compounds caused in many parts of Europe soil sterility, both are large spectrum “pesticide” affecting not only the target, but all microbial and insect community. The anti-sparrow campaign led to a pandemic of crop-destroying insects fuuther leading to famines. The fungi toxins are more toxic compared with chemical pesticide, and even harden to remove (search for Mycotoxin and Aflatoxin).
However, an increasing numbers of critics and farmers say they have brought about a new, and bigger challenge – poor health and the decimation of biodiversity. The less healthy the environment, the more difficult it gets to go without chemicals which when used further destroy the environment… Is it realistic, then, to get rid of them and still feed everybody on the planet? We’re destroying our environment at an alarming rate.
To strive for a eco-friendly world , more and more people start to challenge the ideas about what dealing with climate change means. What can we do and how the system needs to change. There are many people in the world working in alternatives for the current problem of Chemical pesticed. Ows, Pigs and Chicken, besides high nutrition value (in protein and essential vitamins) produce fertilizer and if used properly complete a essential cycle of food production. In fact mines of potassium nitrate (essential fertilizer in agriculture), as a gigant site of poop from birds (search for Chile Salitre). And you can use that chicken residue as a high value fertilizer. Nowadays we also have Bacillus (bacteria) that have succefully used to control fungi and some insects in field, Trichogramma galloi(Microwasp) – Insects that parasites other insects. Trichoderma a fungi that compete in the field against phytopathogenic fungis.
A lot of these conversations come back to consumers. What consumers purchase drives how farmers farm, how breeders breed, etc. If people understood that an apple with a small blemish on it is still edible, there would be much less food waste. The standards for producing fruit have gotten out of control and given farmers two options; either use harsher chemistries to try and create a perfect piece of fruit, or go organic, spend a fortune on inputs and hope that you have something to show for at the end of the year.
About 10,000 years ago, humans began to farm. This agricultural revolution was a turning point in our history and enabled the existence of civilization. Today, nearly 40% of our planet is farmland. Spread all over the world, these lands are the pieces to a global puzzle we’re all facing: in the future, how can we feed every member of a growing population a healthy diet? Can we create the “perfect” farm? Brent Loken investigates.
GMO advocates champion genetically modified food as a way to combat climate change, solve environmental issues, and solve world hunger. There are truths and fallacies both of the extremes of the GMO debate, but the reality is, and really the core problem with GMOs is not the technology or the genetically modified food itself, but what GMOs and genetically modified foods are used and controlled. Monsanto’s BT and HT crops are a perfect example of how GMO foods are used to create monopolies of environmental destruction. 转基因 为什么很少关于转基因的争议了？正在改变世界的基因编辑（我们一起聊科学：20230916 第16期）虽然只有二十多年的时间，却引发最大的争议。良心公知名嘴崔永元揭发中国农业农村部滥用转基因农作物，坑害老百姓身体健康。 冒險再大爆猛料，太多乾貨，多個名人紛紛躺槍。
Saving and replanting seeds has been an important part of farming ever since farming was discovered by William Von Farming. There maybe some practical disadvantages to saving crop seeds. but the real reason farmers stopped doing it after thousand years is because a couple of company found out a way to make replanting your own seeds illegal, almost anywhere in the world! But things start to getting complicated when the technology of inventing plant were being introduced. Humans have been cultivating new breeds of plants for as long as we grow them. One problem is no one get filthy rich yet. So in the 1930s, U.S government passed the Plant Patent Act. for the first time in the world, people can legally claim that plant was their intellectual property. Of course this does not apply to natural occurring plants. To claim a patent, you have to at least breed a distinct new variet that are capable of making more of it. And up to the 1990s, there was only 120 patented plants. Farmer did not generally grow or harvest them.
Then there is a company called Mensanto shifted their business model from selling plant poison to plant seeds that could not be killed by their own plant poisons. These “roundup-ready” crops, mostly beans and cottons, quickly took over every farm in the U.S and many more around the world, because it turned out that not dying from weeds or weed killer is an important traits for crops to have. But here is the kicker, growing a patent plants is legally the same thing as manufacturing any other patent products. so these company get to control what product the buyers can have and exactly how much they could make. Mensanto and the likes companies had their customer signed contract to use only their seeds and not allow to give it away to other people.
You are what you eat, and you can imagine what parasites you introduce into your body. Advantages of GMO foods include added nutrients, fewer pesticides, and cheaper prices. Disadvantages of GMO foods can be allergic reactions or increased antibiotic resistance. Seventy-five percent of processed foods on supermarket shelvesfrom soda to soup, crackers to condimentscontain genetically engineered ingredients. The long-term effects of these foods on humanity is so far unknown.
The book, The GMO Deception: What You Need to Know about the Food, Corporations, and Government Agencies Putting Our Families and Our Environment at Risk Paperback – April 12, 2016 contains 57 articles by over 70 HIGHLY Qualified Authors on this contraversal topic. Collectively, they address such questions as:
Are GM foods safe and healthy for us?
Will GM food really solve world hunger?
Are GM foods ecologically safe and sustainable?
Should animals be genetically modified for food?
Ultimately, this definitive book encourages us to think about the social, environmental, and moral ramifications of where this particular branch of biotechnology is taking us, and what we should do about it.
The real and potentially adverse effects of GMOs have been understated or negated by government and corporations, neglected by the press, and ignored by many in the scientific community who accept uncritically a corporate-crafted message. A fair-minded and unbiased individual looking at all the evidence must reach the conclusion that there is a great deal we do not know and what we do know impels us to be both cautious and concerned, skeptical of an early manufactured consensus, and critical of a framing that fails to recognize the diversity of public objections to GMOS.” Further, What if you consume meat or eggs that come from animals that were fed genetically modified feed materials? Are the unhealthy consequences of consuming that feed passed on?
According to the (USDA) US Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), biotechnology plantings as a percentage of total crop plantings in the United States in 2012 were about 88 percent for corn, 94 percent for cotton, and 93 percent for soybeans. FDA has launched an education initiative called Feed Your Mind to help consumers better understand genetically engineered foods, commonly called GMOs or genetically modified organisms. Most GMO crops are used in food for animals like cows, chickens, and fish. They are also used to make ingredients that are then used in food products like cereal, snack chips, and vegetable oils. Even though you won’t find many GMO fruits or vegetables in the produce section of your grocery store, GMOs are a common part of today’s food supply. In 2017, Congress provided funding for an Agricultural Biotechnology Education and Outreach Initiative, which calls upon FDA to work with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and USDA to share science-based educational information about GMOs, beginning with answers to some basic GMO questions.
GMOs, Consumerism and the Global Politics of Biotechnology: Rethinking Food, Bodies and Identities in Africa’s 21st Century Paperback – August 17, 2017 Despite sustained continental and national struggles for autonomy, sovereignty and independence in postcolonial Africa, the continent is increasingly embattled by the forces of globalisation which threaten African identity that is at the core of African struggles for continental and national unity. Situating the debates in the contemporary discourses on decoloniality, global consumerism, global food apartheid and the challenges and prospects of the emergent sharing economies, this book critically examines the importation, use and implications of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and other such non-food products on African bodies, institutions and cultures. The book poses questions about how Africa can be decolonised both politically and in terms of global food apartheid and the dehumanising importation and use of “foreign” non-food products, some of which militate against the ethos of [African] identity, Renaissance and indigeneity.
The independent International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), a not-for-profit organization, estimates that the global area of biotech crops for 2012 was 170.3 million hectares, grown by 17.3 million farmers in 28 countries, with an average annual growth in area cultivated of around 6 percent. More than 90 percent of farmers growing biotech crops are resource-poor farmers in developing countries.
Not only the soil and Earth has seriously polluted. We are increasingly surrounded by toxic air and magnetic radiations. The book, Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth Paperback – June 10, 2014 This Space Age is replacing resource wars and redefines planet earth as a “battlespace” in accordance with the military doctrine of “Full-Spectrum Dominance.”
This book examines how chemtrails and ionospheric heaters like the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) in Alaska service a full-spectrum dominance. This “Revolution in Military Affairs” needs an atmospheric medium to assure wireless access to the bodies and brains of anyone on Earthfrom heat-seeking missiles to a form of mind control.
How sinister are these technologies? Are we being prepared for a “global village” lockdown? The recent release of NSA records have reminded Americans that “eyes in the sky” are tracking us as supercomputers record the phone calls, e-mails, internet posts, and even the brain frequencies of millions.
Elana M. Freeland’s startling book sifts through the confusion surrounding chemtrails-versus-contrails and how extreme weather is being “geo-engineered” to enrich disaster capitalists and intimidate nations.
A deconstruction of Bernard J. Eastlund’s HAARP patent points to other covert agendas, such as a global Smart Grid infrastructure that enables access to every body and brain on Earth, a “Transhumanist” future that erases lines between human and machine, and Nanobiological hybrids armed with microprocessers that infest and harm human bodies.
The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. The scientists and technocrats like Elon Musk, in their illusory craving for space exploration new discovery for advancement, such as the highly polluted automobile battery, are unwittingly damage the balance of Planet Earth and killing lifes by millions. The tauma in their personal life is exponentially manifested into the whole planet Earth as their ego expands.
