Nature is not trying to kill you

and you don't need public health, science nor drug companies to save you.

“Nature’ is defined as the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations. Is nature opposed to humans and is it possible to separate what is ‘human’ from everything else?

The medical industry and the governments that they control would like us to think that we are completely separate from nature and that it is trying to kill us. Bacteria, fungi and viruses (that don’t exist) are out to get us and that our own bodies are in danger of attacking themselves. Don’t worry though; science and drug companies have our backs and will save us from the scary nature and from ourselves.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Bacteria and fungi are not out to kill us. The microbiome, which we cannot survive without, is very little understood as only about 1% of it can be cultured. Some bacteria seem to be associated with human illness, but are they causing it? Proliferation of Bilophilia wadsworthia, which consumes toxic bile acids produced by a high saturated fat diet, especially cheese, is associated with the inflammation of Crohns’ disease, but they are not causing it. 100% of patients go into remission after ditching the dairy and the bacteria no longer causes a problem.

The yeast-like fungus Pneumocystis Carinii (now called P. Jiroveci ) is associated with pneumonia and occurs when lung tissue is damaged by amyl nitrate ‘popper’ inhalation. The Pneumocystis is not causing illness but is doing the essential job, that fungi do everywhere, of breaking up dead cells and matter to make way for new. Cease to inhale harmful toxins and the Pneumocystis and the pneumonia will disappear. Grocott staining mucopolysaccharide coats of Pneumocystis in human lung tissue.

Mitochondria, found in every cell, are thought to be bacteria that millions of years ago merged with other prokaryote cells and enabled humans to evolve as multicellular beings. Mitochondria are crucial for cellular processes such as energy production, homeostasis and stress responses. These functions are damaged by medications, drugs, herbicides, pesticides and antibiotics.

The food we eat alters the composition of the microbiome. Beneficial bacteria in our gut, such as Prevotella sp, thrive on fibre and nutrients found only in plants. They switch on genes that make us feel full and satisfied. They control cravings and emotions. They feed colonocytes, produce vitamins, assist in digestion and are associated with the prevention of cancer, IBS and IBD. Species of bacteria provide a barrier function and protect the lining of our gut, lungs, brain, kidneys and skin. We cannot exist without these symbiotic bacteria

More genetic information is contained in our symbiotic bacteria than in our human cells. Everything that we take into our bodies and minds affects gene expression in the microbiome, the mitochondria and the nuclei of cells. This expression then affects our bodies, health, thoughts and emotions. Much of the DNA in our cells is ‘non-coding’ yet is still transcribed into different types of RNA, mistakenly thought to be ‘viral’, which may be part of the communication.

This conversation is not just internal, all living things around us affect us physically and emotionally, and we them. Bacteria can swap genes just by being next to each other. Plants benefit us, not only if we eat them, but also when we look at, listen to, smell and sit near them. We are not in control of this conversation and like the complex network of communication that takes place underground between microbes, fungi and the roots of trees we barely understand it.

I think that because we are so under the illusion that we’re separate from everything else in nature and are so unaware of the constant communication that’s going on between us, that when we see illness, really a collection of detoxification symptoms such as coughing and sneezing, ‘pass’ between people we cling to the belief that there must be an external nefarious entity which somehow travels through the air and infects people. We find it hard to accept our interconnectedness or that we have the ability to communicate, with all beings around us and to help each other by signalling the need to expel toxins or to rest.

We are so separated from our own bodies that we are made to believe that they can attack themselves and cause ‘autoimmune’ diseases such as T1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, coeliac and MS. These diseases are in fact associated with the suppression of emotions, leaky gut, imbalances in the microbiome, exposure to non-species specific breast milk, meat from sick, factory farmed animals, pesticides, , vaccines, glyphosate, antibiotics, medications, alcohol and lack of fresh fruit and veg.

A child would never be cruel to an animal nor see it as separate from themselves. It takes years of education and disconnecting the child from nature and other animals to convince them that the way we treat other animals; to make and test pharmaceuticals and household products and those that we farm for food, the vast majority of which spend their short, despairing lives on factory farms, is OK and somehow justified.

The earth produces a bounty of green leafy plants, grains, tubers, squashes, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, multicoloured beans and lentils and delicious fruits and berries to explore and enjoy. And what does the adult in the West sometimes give the child to eat; ultra processed breakfast cereals, pulverised remains of exhausted dairy cows in white bread buns with wilted lettuce leaves, and reconstituted parts of sick chickens.

The human animal has not evolved to sit indoors all day and then go to a gym for a few hours. Nor to live alone. The chronic stress we put ourselves under shortens and shallows our breath. Maybe we can be creative and find ways to fit work around playing outside. Relearning to breath deeply like a child will be very beneficial. If hugging each other were prescribed I believe it would be the most side effect free wonder drug the world has ever seen. Not much profit in it though.

Now that we are adults the responsibility for caring for our health belongs to us, and to us alone. We defer and outsource to others to our detriment. Only we can possibly know what are bodies and souls are saying to us. Given access to regeneratively grown organic fruit and veg, and to clean water, what we need from a healthcare system is to be left alone.

The inseparable collective of organisms known as ‘human’ has great flexibility of gene expression. If we cultivate healthy internal relationships by eating regeneratively grown organic fibre rich plant foods, avoiding toxins and learning to express our anger and emotions we become more adaptive, vibrant and creative. This expression will naturally be communicated and will affect all those living around us and make them more healthy and vibrant too. We are in no way separate or opposed to the Mother Ship nor any other thing on earth. We are her and them and she and they are us.
