now this is going to be an interesting  video because what i thought was true  

was absolutely not true it was completely false  i thought one of the reasons why our foods were  

deficient in nutrients was because the soil was  deficient in minerals okay that’s what i thought  

but i recently found out that is absolutely  not true our soils are not depleted of minerals  

okay interesting book uh environmental soil  chemistry second edition it’s like 105 very  

very expensive textbook by donald sparks this is  what he found he did soil samples around the world  

okay he compiled all this data and he  found that the concentration of minerals  

of an average sample of soil demonstrated  plenty of nutrients okay now this actually  

was a shocker and i was like at first i’m like  this can’t be this there’s no way this could be  

but let’s go on there’s another document that  i want to talk about is by dr david johnson  

and he’s part of the institute for sustainable  agriculture research okay and he did some  

interesting research he demonstrated  that the soils with the highest nutrients  

did not predict the best plant growth another  piece of information that i was actually quite  

surprised you would think that if the soil has the  most minerals it would produce the best crop right  

or the healthiest plant that’s absolutely not true  what he did find which will explain everything  

is this the best predictor of plant growth  and plant health was the fungal and bacteria  

ratio you see as you use the farmland and you use  pesticides and insecticides what happens over time  

is you lose the fungal growth until your bacterial  counts become higher and higher and higher  

to the point where you’re 100% bacteria and no  fungal you see fungus is a very important part of  

soil it’s part of the microbial flora that  helps break down the rocks the sand and the  

organic material and then makes the minerals  available to the plant it’s both the fungus  

and bacteria that make minerals soluble for  the plant so it can be usable and exchangeable  

and without those microorganisms the minerals  basically are locked up in the clay in the sand  

and the rocks they’re unavailable to the plant  and you need a ratio of one to one fungus to  

bacteria and this is why a lot of farmers have  to use mpk the nitrogen phosphorus and potassium  

because they can just give the plants you  know some quick nutrients to get them to grow  

because there’s very little microbial growth  that is making the rocks available for that plant  

now how does this relate to our bodies well we  need microorganisms in our gut to assimilate  

food we need acid in our stomach to actually  help absorb the nutrients from the food  

to break down the proteins without the acid  we can’t absorb minerals we can’t break  

down protein into amino acids without bile  salts we can’t extract fat-soluble vitamins  

without enzymes we can’t break down  the food to extract the micronutrients  

and without friendly fungus and friendly  bacteria we can’t actually break down the  

food either to extract nutrients into our  body and so a big mistake that people make  

is they go to the store they buy their one  a day vitamin and they’re buying basically  

the wrong type of vitamins they’re buying  inorganic elemental minerals for example  

things that are like rocks or metals and our body  cannot pull those in see our bodies were meant to  

consume the plants and the animals that have  already converted these minerals into minerals  

that we can absorb in our body and so this video  is really just about emphasize the importance  

of the microorganisms not just in our body but in  the soil that actually makes the food that animals  

eat to make us healthier so stay tuned for more  videos on this very interesting topic hey before  

you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course  

i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  here is your environment everyone is focused on  

this over here avoiding your environment but  what about here what about strengthening your  

immune system that’s what’s missing this course  will show you how to bulletproof yourself and so  

you can tolerate and resist your environment  much better by strengthening your own immune  

system i put a link down in the description right  down below check it out and get signed up today
