Modern Epidemic
Modern epidemic
Food is the root cause of the modern epidemics of diabetes, heart attacks, dementia and feeling hangry.
Hangry – angry because we feel hungry and not satisfied.

My wife, Xiulan, is a medical doctor. She became diabetic and her foot started to turn black and our medical advisers told us they may have to amputate her foot.
I am not a medical doctor, but I am an engineer recognised as a leading innovator by the Institute of Engineers.
I wanted to understand what was the root cause of diabetes so I read everything I could find about diabetes.
Fire, water and technology
Fire, water and technology
There is an old saying that fire and water are good servants but bad masters, we must now add technology.
Fat and sick
Across the globe people are getting fat a sick from an epidemic of diseases like diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
Why?
Our gut brain has trillions of cells which communicate with each other to create our gut brain which evolved over millions of years to regulate our appetite, emitting hormones to tell us when we need to eat and when to stop eating because we are full.

Food and our nature
We know for sure that the food we eat can make us fat and sick, but what if it can affect our very nature, our DNA and make us a less aggressive and more cooperative creature. In this article I put forward the arguments for this idea.
Internet marketing experts tell me that my web has too much text and that people just want a few cute sayings and lots of graphics and videos.
Try it
I am proposing that you make your own soil from food and organic waste, add mineral and microbes to create a soil teaming with beneficial microbes and nutrients and grow plants and eat them while fresh.
This will increase your chances of a long and healthy life.
But why should you believe me?
We live in the age of the hype machine. Read more
Inoculants
It is easy when growing Gbiota plants to become focused on the plants, which you can see, and forget that the real aim is to enhance the gut biota, which you cannot see.
Engineering problem
The key to the Gbiota system is the ‘engineering’ problems of creating the right conditions to favour the beneficial microbes and out breed the harmful microbes.
What science tells us
Let us look at what science can tell us about life as though our lives depend on it – as they do.
Back to the start
The earth is some four billion years old, which is a very long time. Just dead inert rock the only living life was microscopic organism we call microbes, we don’t know whether they came as the earth was formed of shortly after.
Very slowly they started to break down the rocks to form soil but that was a very slow process without energy to power the breakdown
