Dr. Zach Bush




There was an unexpected 40% 

increase in 'all cause deaths  in 2021

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.

We are constantly being assaulted by small doses of toxins. The health of our gut microbiome is dependent on the foods we eat and sir we breathe. About 60,000 new chemicals have been released into the environment in the past few decades. Only a small percent has been tested to be safe for humans. 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.”

  • Find a farmers market in your area or find a Whole Foods or Sprouts or other natural food market.

  • Start your own organic garden.

  • Read this article “Which Countries and States Are Banning Roundup?” https://www.carlsonattorneys.com/news-and-u…/banning-roundup

  • Join one of the public campaigns that have been formed to ban Roundup. such as this one in New Jersey: https://njpirg.org/feature/njp/ban-roundup

  • Read this article from foodbabe.com: The Ultimate Guide On How To Avoid Roundup Weed Killer In Your Food

  • 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.

  • Support the Regenerative Farming movement. A farmer who made 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.."
