you know today we’re going to talk about the  necessity of germs now humans have co-evolved with  

these microbes for a very long time these microbes  have been on this planet for a lot longer than  

humans and so we have a beneficial relationship  with these microbes they give us certain things we  

give them a home to live in so let’s talk a little  bit more about this topic there’s something called  

the hygiene theory which i think is not a theory  it’s actually a truth because when you expose  

a child for example to a sterile environment  they’re at risk for getting allergies and even  

autoimmune type conditions and so microbes  play a really important part in building  

our immunity this is why you should let your kids  play in the dirt and kids that are grown up in a  

sterile environment they just don’t have the same  health they’re more at risk for getting asthma  

allergies and a lot of other issues now a baby  is born with the innate part of the immune system  

which is received from the mother so the strength  or weakness of that immune system that that mother  

developed is given to the infant but then we also  have another part of the immune system called  

the acquired immune system which is pretty much a  blank slate it’s neutral when you’re born you have  

to develop it and it takes time so the acquired  immune system is something that you acquire  

by exposing yourself to germs microbes so our  bodies develop antibodies and many other immune  

cells to then create immunity and i think the  medical profession a lot of people are ignoring  

these vital importance of strengthening your  immune system versus trying to boost your immune  

system in other ways you have 100 trillion  microbes growing inside your body as well as  

on the surface of your body so in other words  your skin is an important immune gland so for  

example if you try to scrub your face to try to  scrub off the dirt to make it really clean you end  

up destroying the the flora or the microorganisms  in your face and you end up then becoming immune  

deficient and you start getting acne redness  rashes things like that because you’ve just  

taken away that friendly flora so as a side  note let’s just talk about how this relates to  

farming so you have conventional farming practices  where they use pesticides herbicides fungicides  

they use fertilizer like npk nitrogen phosphorus  and potassium which is a very common practice  

but you know what there’s a lot more minerals  than just three so they put this npk in there  

as a fertilizer to help give the plant some basic  nutrients but what you have to realize is the root  

system and the surrounding things around the root  is not only the digestive system of that plant  

but it’s the immune system and so in natural  farming they pay attention to the microbes  

they fortify the microbes i’m talking about  bacteria fungus and a lot of other microbes  

so when dirt has microbes it’s called soil when  dirt doesn’t have microbes it’s called dirt and so  

in conventional farming we have this one-way flow  of communication we stick the nutrients in there  

they suck into the plant and then the plant is  harvested right well in natural farming we have  

a two-way communication we have the plant through  sunlight and co2 carbon dioxide being exposed to  

the plant the plant goes through photosynthesis  it makes carbohydrates 25% of those carbohydrates  

are driven down to the plant into the roots where  they’re fed to the microbes the microbes are not  

on the ketogenic plan microbes love sugar so  in exchange for this carbohydrate the microbes  

through their enzymes and acids start breaking  down the minerals to help mobilize the minerals  

from rocks and other things and it helps to bring  the nutrients through this root system so then it  

can be sucked up as a bi-directional flow so we  have the minerals coming up through the help of  

the microbes and we have the carbohydrates going  down it’s a perfect exchange so in natural farming  

you have this plant that has way more nutrients  less weeds because it has a stronger immune system  

now in conventional farming we don’t have an  immune system so we have to kill the weeds with  

chemicals and roundup ready things like that and  natural farming we have a better immunity we have  

better flavor of that food so the vegetables  that you eat at the grocery store that are  

basically flavorless really don’t have near the  nutrients or the phytonutrients that you would you  

would have if you were to grow them in a garden  but the whole point about this is that these  

microbes are very important in creating a healthy  immune system so healthy soils healthy plants  

healthy food for humans healthy food for  animals and if we eat healthy animals we become  

healthy so our health is really dependent on  these microbes so if you’re enjoying my content
