Zach Bush MD is among the few
physicians in the nation that is triple board certified, he completed
training and certification in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and
Metabolism, as well as in Hospice and Palliative care.
On
YouTube there are various videos by Dr. Bush. He explains
inflammation as the body's normal biological response to an injury.
The immune system lies throughout our body but 60% of the volume and
80% of the work done is in our gut lining. The gut lining which is a
membrane is the largest surface exposed to the outside world. It can
cover two tennis courts in area.
A
vast number of physical maladies are caused by inflammation, the
bodyʼs immune response to a multitude of stressors. Our gut
microbiome can also play a role in reducing chronic inflammation,
regulating glucose and insulin balance, and might even improve
cognitive scores in people with dementia. Rather than dealing with
multiple inflammations Dr. Bush concentrates on healing the immune
system.
The
health of our gut microbiome is dependent on the foods we eat.
Healthy endocrine function is critical to help regulate insulin
levels, which keep inflammation down. These foods include sweet
potatoes, root vegetables, squashes, nuts, legumes, seeds; and he
suggests even making nuts and seeds into sauces and milks.
It
is now estimated that we spray more than 4.5 billion pounds of the
carcinogen glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) into the
soils, plants, and water systems of our planet. And there are now
dozens of genetically modified plant species around the world which
have allowed chemical companies to develop a seemingly infinite
market for their weedkillers.
It
was not originally patented as a weed killer, it was repatented
later. So, glyphosate is an antibiotic. It works by blocking the
shikamate pathway in bacteria that, if functioning, produces folates
and some amino acids. Without those, bacteria die. Plants also use
this pathway and are also damaged by glyphosate's action.
Glyphosate
and glufosinate also work synergistically to dismantle the human gut
lining and create infertility, and a chronic disease epidemic.
Glyphosate functions as an antibiotic in the body and why this is so
dangerous Why 46% of American children have a chronic disease
diagnosis (when in the 1960s only 4% of the entire population did).
And it's even destroying the microbiome, and our innate immunities.
ION*Gut
Health is a gut-strengthening, brain-boosting mineral supplement
sourced from 60-million-year-old soil that naturally supports
microbiome balance. The active ingredient, Terrahydrite®, has been
shown to support the integrity of tight junctions in the gut lining,
even in the face of damage from toxins such as glyphosate.
Just
as cosmology has provided the means for us to begin to comprehend the
size of the universe and the enormous immensity of physical reality, Dr.
Zach Bush and other microbiologists provides us with a glimpse of the
trillions of individual life forms in the human body. The Earth has been through five great
extinction events in the
past. Apparently the Sixth Mass Extinction is well underway. The
earth is losing 1 species to the point of extinction
every 20 minutes. We've lost 40% of the earth's biodiversity
in the last 50 years according to Dr. Zach Bush, MD, who is a
physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and
hospice care.
He describes the link between our poisoned world
and the epidemic of chronic disease that is leading to a sixth
extinction of life on Earth possibly within the next 50-100 years unless we change our methods of food production and eating
habits. To put it simply, the way we are growing our food and the way
we are eating is killing our human species.
The weed killer Glyphosate,
the active ingredient in RoundUp®, was first patented and introduced by
Monsanto for agricultural use in 1974. Later, it was marketed to
consumers as a household herbicide. Monsanto’s argument to the
approving agencies around the world
that their product is safe. This may turn out to be the most
consequential error in human history.Every year, the United States uses more than 1.8 million tons of glyphosate. The output of glyphosate in China increased from 316,000 tons in 2010 to about 505,000 tons in 2017. In 2017,
The
weed-killer doesn't just kill weeds. Roundup is found in about 90% of
food products tested by the U.S. government.Glyphosate is an antibiotic
that kills the micro biome (the fungi
and bacteria) of the soil which causes the plants to be deficient in
nutrients.
Glyphosate blocks the Shikimate enzyme pathway which is
present in fungi and bacteria and plants, but not in humans. That
enzyme path creates the aromatic amino acids, which are the building
blocks of life. As a result we are not able to get all of the
building blocks of life from the food that we are eating when the
food has been treated with glyphosate.
Dr. Bush reports the following statistics, which have developed
in the last 20 years:
– Autism is now in one out of 36 children in the United States.
If autism continues at the current rate there will be one out of
three children with autism by 2035.
– ADHD is now in one out of eight children.
– Type two diabetes is now in one out of four young people by
college age.
– Major depression now in one out of two adults.
– Cancer is now in one out of two by the end of their life.
– The infertility rate is now one in three couples. When it
reaches one in two we will see really drastic reductions in the
population.
Since the early 1990’s our widespread use of glyphosate as a
weed killer, pesticide and crop drying agent is causing a condition
in humans called leaky gut syndrome, where toxic substances in our
food are able to get through the intestinal lining into our cells and
cause infertility, chronic disease, brain damage and other serious
problems.
Glyphosate damages the epithelial tight junction tissue on
contact, weakening the barriers that protect us on the inside from
the barrage of other environmental toxins to which we are exposed.
Injury to the tight junction membrane in the gut can lead to
intestinal permeability. Injury to the tight junction membrane in the
brain can result in a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier and a host
of neurological symptoms.
Some crops, like wheat, have to be dead and dry before harvesting.
The use of glyphosate to artificially kill and dry crops before
harvest is popular with farmers. If you’re a northern farmer and it
snows before you have time to harvest, you have just lost your whole
crop.
Glyphosate is being sprayed in our backyards, on our driveways, on
our roads and on our crops all around the world. It is water soluble
so it collects in our water system and thereby gets into the air.
Dr. Bush and his team of researchers are promoting a program
called Regenerative Farming by showing farmers how to restore the
micro biome of their crop soil, the essential fungi and bacteria on
which healthy food plants depend, and avoid the use of glyphosate.
In his presentation Dr. Bush gives us a glimpse into the recent
discoveries of human biology at the atomic level. For example, under
an electron microscope you can see that the connection between our
cells is like a bundle of fiber optic cables. The ends of the cables
attach to an aperture which opens and closes like a camera lens. At
the atomic level we are really beings of light and energy more so
than blood and tissue.
What We Can Do To Take Back Our Food and Farms
“The consumer is driving the bus here”:
We can do our part to avoid the
extinction of the human species by eating a diet of natural whole
foods, reducing our sugar consumption, exercising regularly and
nourishing our micro biome with foods such as walnuts, avocados,
kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, sweet potatoes and
sauerkraut.
Use Dr. Bush’s supplement Ion
Biome: “The probiotic era is over. We need to quickly move on to
understanding how to foster bio diversity rather than micromanaging
the human gut.”

Avoid C-sections if at all
possible. It robs the baby of the mother’s essential micro biome
contribution. Without this the child is much more vulnerable to
diseases and a shortened lifespan. If it is required for medical
reasons then insist that the baby receive a vaginal swab from the
mother.

the switch to regenerative farming after decades of frustrating,
unhealthy and financially insecure “modern” farming said that he
and his family now enjoy farming the way he always dreamed it could
be.

After
thousands of lawsuits from cancer patients or their estates, the
company behind Roundup weed killer is settling most of the current and
possible future lawsuits for more than $10 billion.
Bayer,
the German-based company that acquired agrochemical giant Monsanto in
2018, made the announcement Wednesday. It comes after years of litigation from cancer patients who claimed Roundup caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma and that Monsanto failed to adequately warn consumers of the risk.
"A century of monocrop farming
and reliance on pesticides has damaged our nation’s once-fertile soils
and the health of every American. The rapid increase in pesticide use
over the past few decades has coincided with this explosion of chronic
disease.
A profound change in the demographics of chronic disease is underway in
the United States. Independent research from private laboratories and
universities around the world, are implicating glyphosate – the active
ingredient in the herbicide Roundup.
Regenerative agriculture focuses on rebuilding organic matter and
living biodiversity in soil, which produces increasingly nutrient-dense
food year after year — while rapidly sequestering excess atmospheric
carbon underground to reverse climate change.
At a time when there are more farmer suicides and bankruptcies than
ever, bringing back economic success and life on the farm has never
been more important." -- Farmers Footprint
Almost 1 out of every 2 adults age 18 or older—had at least 1 of 6
reported chronic illnesses. 4 IN 10 Adults in the US have two or more.
These numbers have been rising steadily in the past few decades,
parallel to the creation of genetically modified organisms
(GMOs). We are facing the largest disease epidemic in history
apparently due to the loss of microbiome diversity. Glyphosate is
ground zero of the chronic disease epidemic.
To know and also share this information is vastly important. Apparently
we've been weeding ourselves to death, externally and internally,
depleting the biodiversity of our soils and bodies. A re-connection to
nature is our saving grace.
Dr. Bush founded Seraphic Group and the
non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human
and ecological health. His passion for education reaches across
many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water
ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut-brain health. His
education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from
chemical farming and pharmacy, and his ongoing efforts are providing a
path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a
healthy future for people and the planet.
If you are not familiar with Zach Bush you have been missing out.
The Nantucket Project is a seminal experience.
The following is copied from Zach Bush's blog:
"GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. To understand GMOs, we must first understand the history of our countries food sources and farmlands.
After World War II, the United States was left with an excess of
petroleum that they no longer had a use for. They found that petroleum
could be used as chemical fertilizer, and they marketed it as such. For
the first time in history, farmers ignored the generational wisdom of
good crop practices. They stopped letting their soil rest, they stopped
rotating their crops. They forgot the hard lessons of the 1930’s Dust
Bowl.
The farmers became convinced that fertilizing crops with chemicals
saved time, increased yield, and created healthier, greener plants. The
plants were greener, but they weren’t healthier – they were now weak and
lacking major nutrients. (In fact, a tomato grown today has almost no
lycopene left in it, compared to one grown in 1950.) Weak plants are more subject to
disease and pests, so the solution became to add more chemicals – this
time in the form of pesticides (which are essentially an antibiotic) –
to the soil, and ignore the failing biology just underneath the surface.
It was, and still is, an environmental version of exactly how we are
treating disease in humans today.
The most widely used commercial pesticide is a glyphosate-based
herbicide, called Roundup. Today, Roundup’s use is so profuse, that it
has become impossible to avoid the effects altogether. In fact, 99.99%
of Roundup never even hits a weed – instead, it’s found primarily in the
runoff, and ends up in the water we drink and the air we breathe. In
the southern United States, 75% of the air and the rain are contaminated
with glyphosates. Before you even take a bite of food, you are being
hit with an antibiotic every time you inhale."
" Autism spectrum disorder has risen in prevalence from 1 in 5000 children
in 1975 to 1 in 36 children in 2016, and the rate has been doubling
every 3-4 years in the last decade in the US. We are on target to
experience 1 in 3 children with Autism by 2035."
"Cancer cells are the most isolated, damaged, and fragile cells in the human body. Their
mechanisms of repair are destroyed, they cannot produce adequate fuel,
they have lost their cell identity and natural function. For this we have created a $500 billion/year business that is driven by the fear of death. We are told that toxic warfare on our body is the only pathway to hope for buying us time. And yet cancer rates rise every year.."
