The Gbiota process of breeding beneficial gut microbes starts in the soil where the conditions are controlled so the beneficial microbes out-breed and out-compete the harmful microbes.
This is called Eco-balance which is how the world has worked for billions of years.
This is why you don’t find polar bears in the Sahara desert or antelopes in the Arctic. They each require their specific conditions to breed, if those conditions are met they successfully breed and become the dominant creature and if those conditions are not met they are out-bred.
The Gbiota process controls the conditions to breed beneficial microbes, plants are grown, the microbes enter the plants from the roots, we eat the plants and they enter our gut.
It is a simple and inexpensive process, anyone can do it, everyone should and we show you how.
Wonder of the world
Our gut-brain is one of the wonders of the world. It knows what we eat and the effects on our bodies, learns and remembers whether it is good or bad and then manages our appetite so we want to eat the foods that are good for us.
It has been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years, without doctors or dietitians to tell us whether we need more vitamins B12, K zinc or magnesium and it is how we have survived.
Even more remarkable is that this gut-brain is not part of us but is made up of trillions of microbes which communicate with each other, like in a computer.
These microbes start in the soil, or more specifically in the guts of creatures that live in the soil, enter the plants that we eat and then form our gut-brain.
The tragedy is that our modern food system is so hygienic and it takes so long from when the plants are harvested to when we eat them that these life-giving microbes have died.
This is the underlying cause of the modern epidemic of non-infectious diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
The solution is to start eating food with these living beneficial microbes. We know how to do this, it is simple, inexpensive and the food tastes better. The difficulty is persuading people to try gut-brain food.
That is why we are searching for those pioneering people willing to cast off the old ways and try something new. If you are a food pioneer email me.
Why we get fat and sick
The physical reason for this epidemic is the wrong fat in the wrong place. This is not simply that we overeat. Our gut brain decides that we need to store more fat, this may be because of the wrong microbes in our gut-brain or there is a genuine deficiency in our diet. It sends our signal to make us hungry and we overeat.
We have to overeat to get fat but that is the enabling factor, it is not the cause. We can go on a restrictive diet which will stop us storing fat in the short term, which will disable the mechanism that enables us to store fat but we have not solved the underlying cause.
The aim of the Gbiota technology is to fix the underlying cause – the wrong microbes or deficiencies by eating nutrient rich food with these living beneficial microbes.
It is simple, inexpensive, and sustainable based on recycling organic waste and the food tastes better.
This web is in two parts, the easy bit and the really hard bit.
The easy bit
The easy bit is the technology. Healthy plants need a balanced combination of nutrients, water and air.
Nutrients are easy, all you need to understand is that organic waste, our basic input, already contains a lot of nutrients but will need topping up with essential trace minerals which are found in abundance in volcanic rock dust and you may need a bit of dolomite or calcium to balance the pH.
Water and air are equally simple, the bad bugs like it wet while the good bugs like it just damp but with air (actually oxygen but we are not nitpickers). The Gbiota technology is just a simple way of applying water so the soil breathes and the water (actually soil blood) never becomes stagnant.
Not trivial but virtually anyone who is prepared to read the instructions can do it, even if they have limited gardening experience and live in an apartment.
This is all described in the growing section which is a subscription area, we have bills to pay just like you.
Fortunately, there are people with pioneering spirit prepared to set up their own Gbiota beds or boxes, but they are a rare breed.
The difficult bit
The difficult bit is changing the public attitude towards the food system, that is really difficult but we just have to try for two reasons.
Our modern food system has created an epidemic of non-infectious diseases in which three out of four people die before their natural life span.
Even worse, but longer term we are slowly but steadily destroying the means of food production, the supply of critical inputs, (particularly water and phosphorous) is being exhausted, and we are destroying the fertile topsoil while climate change is just amplifying the problem.
The Gbiota technology addresses both of these issues but the potential benefits will not be realised if we cannot find a way of gaining widespread acceptance.
That is not easy – let me illustrate.
Take a hydroponically grown lettuce, it is grown without soil, just relying on synthetic chemicals for nutrients and protection from pests, it looks perfect, not a blemish and there are no bugs so the risk of getting E-coli is perceived as minimal.
Even in conventional agriculture, soil is there to hold the plant with the nutrients being supplied synthetic fertilisers.
Now take a Gbiota lettuce grown in living soil, teaming with beneficial microbes and nutrients. The benefits we are promoting are that it contains beneficial bugs and a balance of nutrients.
Typically people’s reaction is ‘I do not want bugs in my food as they will make me sick’.
To change that view I have to convince people that the bugs in our gut are beneficial by communicating with each other creating intelligence and forming part of our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies.
It learns over time what foods are good or bad for us and then regulates our appetite so we want to eat the right sort of food that will keep us healthy.
Not an easy view to accept even if backed up by in-depth science but up against the billions of dollars that the food industry spends convincing us that the food they sell, which is the food that makes them the most money, is healthy.
They are very good at this.
Gbiota is a community benefit organisation, we don’t have billions of dollars to spend on manipulative advertising.
The only way we get our arguments out to the community as a whole is to rely on the good intentions of dedicated people who are prepared to study the literature on this web, set up their own Gbiota beds or boxes then show their friends that they don’t drop dead from some weird disease but are healthy with their appetite controlled by the gut-brain so they don’t get fat and sick.
All we can do is hope there are enough people out there so we can rely on their dedication to avoid a major food crisis.
This web contains a lot of information on how the way we grow our food affects our health.
