We must create an ecosystem, a food ecosystem in which humans can thrive.

Charles Darwin taught us that creatures evolve to thrive in their local environment. Humans now have the technology to change our environment, we must use our technology to create an environment where humans can thrive.

Sure our immediate focus is combating the current epidemic, but we won’t do that with some-short term fix.

We have to create the ecosystem, the food ecosystem in which humans can thrive.

Join us in this community benefit movement putting people ahead of profits.

 

The real cause of chronic diseases

Chronic diseases are the result of the wrong fat in the wrong place.

The remedy which has been promoted for decades is eat less and exercise more. This has not been successful. The calorie theory is a valid explanation of how we get fat but does not explain why we get fat. The right answer to the wrong question.

We have an intelligent control system which regulates our bodies, particularly our appetite. If it decides that there is a need to store more fat it sends out hormones so we are hungry. With determination we may be able to override that for a short time, but not for long.

If we want success in overcoming chronic diseases we have to learn how to change the signals coming from our intelligent control system.

We have yet to fully understand how this intelligent control system works but engineers have a good understanding of the complex intelligent control used to control difficult engineering problems which we can use as a model.

Our intelligent control system has two parts, the first in our gut which provide short term intelligence while our head brain provides long term data storage or memory.

We can understand the intelligence in our gut from swarm intelligence which we can study in many insects, birds and slime moulds. The trillions of cells in our gut communicate with their neighbours provide this swarm intelligence.

For this to work effectively we need the appropriate species of microbes in our gut and we have to feed them.

The long term memory in our head allows us to train the control system.

We need relatively simple food for energy, complex chemicals to replace our body parts as they age and wear and food to feed the microbes in our gut.

The controls system will only send out signals to make us feel satisfied so we want to stop eating if it senses that all these three types of food are available.

Gbiota is a social movement of people dedicated to the prevention of chronic diseases by ensuring that the community has viable access to food, at an affordable price, which will correct for these deficiencies by breeding beneficial microbes in organic waste, then growing and eating plants while still fresh.

Our aim is to either teach people, or local growers, how to grow these plants themselves.

Join the movement of other people wanting a better world to live in.

Disruption

The bad news

Humanity is approaching a period of massive disruption, maybe not annihilation, but certainly disruption on an unprecedented scale.

The combination of climate change and degradation of our soil will create difficulties in producing enough healthy food, our intense city lifestyles leaves us exposed to the next pandemic but that will be small compared to the epidemic of chronic or non-infectious diseases.

This will create tension resulting in waves of displaced people trying to migrate and the continued increase in conflict and killing of civilians on an industrial scale. See Society and Community Health and Jenny and Recycle and Serious Think about Food

The good news

We know how to avoid this massive disruption, our technology and understanding have increased on a scale which would have been unbelievable even a few decades ago. See Food – we love it and Friendly bugs

But technology can be a force of good or bad, it can work for the benefit of the community or it can increase the division across society creating a handful of people with unimaginable wealth and power while the bulk of the community suffers from ever-increasing hardships.

Busy work

Our technologies give us the potential to solve these problems as long as we take action. We can produce all society’s needs in a couple of days work,

Sadly, a system of busy work has evolved so instead of taking action to resolve these problems we live in a state of overwork and stress leaving us exposed to the approaching disruption.

You can hide under the bedclothes but it does not make the monster go away see My Teddy

The train is at the station

While the worst is yet to come the chronic disease train is already at the station. Chronic or non-infectious diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia are largely man-made, here now but avoidable, as long as we take action. See The Plan and The Riddle and Disease

If we overcome the busy work and take action we can resolve the curse of chronic diseases.

Start by taking action and read my article Health Paradox then follow the trail.

People get fat and prone to chronic diseases because our modern food system is deficient in gut-brain food so we never feel satisfied, overeat, get fat and so are prone to chronic diseases.

We want to change the system, but we don’t go on street marches, spend money on manipulative marketing or other aggressive actions.

Our plan is simple: Form local clusters of people who grow their own gut-brain food, see for themselves that they now feel satisfied, are no longer craving food, and do not get fat.

They tell their friends and contacts and as the movement grows we change the system so all people have access to food that will keep them healthy.

We are a dedicated bunch of people committed to making the world a better place in a time of chaos.

Join us – we are a bunch of decent people who want to live in a decent society.

 

First thing, before you start to look at the contents of this web is to read Health Paradox , Chronic Disease,  Prevention better than cure,  then  Health – prevention first  These are published under the creative commons systems for anyone to read and copy free of charge.

I appreciate that there is a fair bit of heavy reading here, but saving humanity from massive disruption is not trivial.

But if, after all this heavy reading, you are prepared to join me in preventing this massive disruption then email me, say Hi and introduce yourself, then sign up to join a group of dedicated volunteers.
