I may be a woke greenie concerned about the communities well being but I read a lot.
One morning I was having my after breakfast read, this time “I’m So effing hungry” by Dr. Amy Shah when I was hit by a bomb shell if you are a pessimist or a light bulb moment if your are an optimist.
You see for years I have been working on the problem of chronic disease, or more specifically why eight million people a year have a limb chopped off from diabetes.

We all want to live a long and healthy life, free of disease. That depends very much on the food we eat.
We need food for energy. Our modern food system provides us with abundant energy food.
We need to build and replace our body parts as they age and wear. This requires many complex chemicals which need a broad spectrum of nutrients and vitamins. Our modern food system barely scrapes a pass.
Gut-brain food
We need food to feed and replenish the microbes in our gut. Our modern system fails here.

Gbiota enables people to breed beneficial microbes at home under controlled conditions so the beneficial microbes out-breed any harmful microbes.
To live a long and healthy life you need beneficial gut microbes.
It is easy, beneficial gut microbes breed incredibly fast, doubling every twenty minutes 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128……….. 4722366482869645213696 at the end of just one day.
This is not something weird or new. While you have been reading this, you will have grown a few thousand beneficial microbes in your gut without even thinking, or even knowing that you have been growing beneficial microbes.

In my case, necessity came from my wife, a medical doctor, who developed diabetes. It got progressively worse to the point where her foot was turning black, and our medical advisers were saying that she needed to have her foot amputated.

Having a foot chopped off is not something you want to make a hobby of, so that created the necessity – how to stop people from having a leg chopped off from diabetes.

This was not just a personal issue; eight million people a year suffer from a diabetic amputation, which costs, on average, about $40,000.

There is a story about a couple touring in Ireland who got lost. They ask a local how to get to Dublin, the reply is ‘If you want to get to Dublin I wouldn’t start from here’
Well, this is where I am at.
My wife, a medical doctor, became diabetic, her foot started to turn black, and our medical advisers told us they needed to amputate her foot.
I have been recognised as one of Australia’s leading innovators, I built up Australia’s leading exporter of technical software, which gave me funds to develop high-risk technology.

Necessity is the mother of invention

The world is in a state of quiet conflict between those who care about their fellow humans and their future and the anti-woke destructors.
The battleground is food that keeps us healthy.
We have an abundance of food, modern technology has increased, (and continues to increase), the production of energy food faster than the increase in population but it is failing to produce the food that sustains our gut microbes which control our bodies, particularly our appetite.
Without a functioning control system, we are like a high performance car with a drunk at the wheel.

Everyone has an intelligent control system, it manages our breathing so we have enough oxygen, our heart rate so our muscles have adequate energy, our immune system, our temperature and most importantly our appetite.
This is the result of over a billion years of evolution and is one of the wonders of the world. If we have a fully functioning intelligent control system we can look forward to a long and healthy life, if it malfunctions we may get fat and sick and if it stops working we die.

The Gbiota technology is about how to grow food for better health.

The Gbiota movement is about creating supporting clusters of cooperative people for better health.

A bit of a mess

If you have not noticed at the moment the world is in a bit of a mess.

Humans are the most successful creatures on the planet because we are intelligent and naturally cooperative but that seems to have been overtaken by short-term greed by a few.

Cooperative societies are far more pleasant to live in but that has become too woke.

Why we need a gut-brain food industry
The world needs a gut-brain food industry.

colinaieeBefore you write me off as some sort of nutter let me tell you that fifty years ago, when computers were clunky mainframes coded by punched cards I predicted that virtually every technical product would be designed using Computer Aided Engineering.

Most people thought I was a nutter.

I was a pioneer of Computer Aided Engineering and was eventually proved right and recognised as one of Australia’s leading innovators.

Life is good, we are living longer and the supermarkets are full of healthy food.

Sounds great but is it true?
My daughter, when she was about seven taught me a valuable lesson. She said she believed in Father Christmas because if she stopped believing she may not get any presents.
But the other kids around her told her that Father Christmas was not real and it was mum and dad that bought the presents so she stopped believing.

There is a very real problem with our food.

We show the process of
– breeding beneficial microbes in organic
– growing plants in this soil using the flood and flush system so the soil breathes and soil blood (like our blood) is regularly circulated
– the microbes enter the plants which we eat to form our gut biome

– the microbes sense if the available food is deficient, when it will send our hormones to make us crave the missing food, and if there is sufficient send out other hormones so we feel satisfied and stop eating.
It worked well until we changed our food system to produce hygienic but inert foods.

Let us look at the story of food and health.

In the past, and that means going back a million years to the first humanoids there was no epidemic of chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart attack and dementia.
These are all caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place and we had evolved a very effective system in which our gut would sense if there were any deficiencies in our diet and send out a hormone complex so we craved the needed food. When satisfied it would send out other hormones saying stop eating you are full.

You can grow the good gut-bugs at home in containers, gbiota baskets – even if you live in an apartment with no garden and no growing experience.

You grow plants which lead to a healthy gut-biome. You change your gut biota by diet – eating plants grown in soil teaming with beneficial microbes and eaten shortly after picking while fresh. We show you how.

If you are a grower we can help you set up a good business supplying gbiota baskets to customers wanting to grow their own gut-bugs and be fit and healthy.

For the first few billion years the earth was just a barren rock.
Then microbes appeared, they broke down the rocks and made soil which led to plants flourishing.
Next came animals that ate the plants which were full of microbes so some microbes ended up in the guts of these animals
These microbes digested the animal’s food, manufacturing the spectrum of complex chemicals the animals needed and regulating appetite, sending out specific hormones to make the animals hungry f when they were low in a particular food and yet other hormones so they would stop eating when full.

The third mega-change
If you think the world is going through a difficult period you are right. We are going through our third mega-change and managing this change is not going to be easy.
But we can learn from looking at the two previous mega changes.
Mega change no 1 – Fire and cooking
The biggest change was the use of fire for cooking over a million years ago.
The results were dramatic – more nutrients led to bigger brains and smaller guts.
Fire changed us humans creating a new, very different creature.
Humans became the dominant creature.

Hormones that control our appetite

We are facing an epidemic of chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
In the real world people just carry on with their normal life until their health deteriorates to the point where they need to go to a doctor who tries to cure them.
This is at great personal burden to the individual and financial cost to our health system.
Prevention is better than cure.

I am suggesting setting up a network of prevention super clinics.
The basic cause of chronic disease is deficiencies in our diet, specifically beneficial gut microbes and trace minerals.

Surely the aim for any community is for its members to live a long and healthy life.

Yet we are not doing that well with well over half the population suffering from some form of chronic disease, maybe just a bit podgy, maybe in fear of having a limb amputated from diabetes or worse of all dementia, sitting in a chair, covered with blanket to hide that you have just peed your pants and wondering who those pesky kids are who keep on calling you granddad.

I have created this section for health professionals.
This may seem a little odd as I have no medical qualifications apart from being married to a medical doctor, who became diabetic, her foot turned black and our medical advisers were talking about amputation, but we changed her diet and she still has both feet.
But I am not a drongo, I am an engineer I was selected by the Institute of Engineers as one of Australia’s leading innovators for my pioneering work in Computer Aided Engineering.

Why is it that some people are fit and healthy, enjoy a long health span with hardly a visit to the doctor while despite the sophistication of modern medical research does the epidemic of chronic diseases continues to increase causing a great deal of personal grief and costing health systems trillions of dollars?
Why is it that some people are slim, fit and healthy and others are fat and sick?
Maybe it is time to take a moment out of the rush of modern living and have a deep think.

Gbiota, at its core, is still about paradigm shifting but the scale of the battle is just so much bigger. Chronic diseases are the biggest health problem across the globe.
Being overweight is everywhere, don’t bother about statistics just go to the local shopping centre.
Diabetes is the most rapidly expanding disease with eight million people a year suffering from a limb amputation, heart attacks are the most common cause of death and at eighty-five

Our gut-brain comprises trillions of cells which communicate with their neighbours to create swarm or group intelligence which regulates our bodies – our intelligent control system.
If our gut brain feels satisfied it will send out hormones which make us feel satisfied.

GLP-1 is the active ingredient in drugs like Ozempic, Seaglitude and Wegovy.
This is a naturally occurring hormone which our body produces automatically to tell us we are full and should stop eating. Our bodies, specifically our gut, normally produce this for free.
But our modern diet, dominated by ultra-processed food is deficient in the foods to feed.

Is humanity in danger of extinction? Probably not.
Is our modern comfortable lifestyle in danger of extinction? Definitely yes and it is happening right now.
Can we do anything to avoid this? Yes – but it takes a bit of effort to understand the problem and do something about it.
What is the biggest problem? Food – there is plenty of food – that is not the problem – modern food is making us fat and sick. We need food that will lead to a long and healthy life.
Is this a technical problem? No – we know how to by growing food.

We are at a crossroads and have two options.
In option one we can live in a society dominated by marketing hype, where we buy health bars full of sugars and fats because they are promoted as healthy, where we spend a thousand dollars a month to take drugs like Ozemic in an attempt to get slim but find that after a year our bodies have acclimatised so they no longer work.

It takes little effort but costs a lot of money and we destroy the natural resources of the Earth.

In option 2 we live in a circular economy where we respect the Earth.

What is Gbiota?
Gbiota is a social movement that aims to create a thriving, sustainable society with a food system designed for long, healthy lives. It emphasizes recycling over depleting Earth’s resources and prioritizes community well-being over corporate profits. In essence, it envisions a society that is equitable and enjoyable to live in—both now and for future generations.

Modern food is that it may be hygienic, triple wrapped in plastics, but it is inert lacking the microbes which form our gut-brain which regulates our appetite so we overeat and get fat and sick from chronic diseases – overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place stemming from overeating.
Why we overeat
Why do we overeat​? Because of the lack of beneficial microbes in our gut. That regulate our appetite.
Modern food may be hygienic but it is deficient in the essential beneficial microbes.

The Gbiota technology breeds beneficial microbes in “Wickimix,” a specially enriched soil, for growing nutrient-packed plants that enhance your gut biota that supports natural appetite regulation, combats chronic diseases, and fosters overall well-being.
We want to make this as widely available as possible to all people and here is our plan.
We train and license skilled growers.
They load a mix of organic waste, minerals, and inoculants into raised garden beds together with open mesh Gbiota baskets, like supermarket baskets, and plant with a spectrum of plants.

Thrive and survive
The microbes in our gut form an integral part of the intelligent control system which regulates our bodies and is vital for health. In the past, these came naturally from the soil and the guts of creatures in the soil via the plants we ate.

Our modern food system may be hygienic but is inert and does not feed or replace these essential microbes.

This deficiency is the underlying cause of all modern diseases – overweight, diabetes, heart attack and dementia – the big killers of our modern era.

We are living longer, thanks to major advances in medical science.
In the past people died, often when young, from infectious diseases now we die predominantly from chronic or non-infectious diseases with three out of four people dying from a chronic disease.
We are in the midst of an epidemic of chronic diseases – overweight, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and dementia.
Medical science may keep us alive for a long time but far worse is that we may live for a long time with poor health. Our life span may be increasing but our health span is not.

As a celebrated engineer recognized for his groundbreaking work in Computer Aided Engineering, Colin’s expertise in adaptive systems sparked a revolutionary idea: What if chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and dementia stem from a malfunctioning intelligent control system within our bodies?

Drawing inspiration from swarm intelligence in nature—like the collective behaviour of birds, insects, and even slime moulds – Colin realised the key wasn’t about fully understanding this intricate system. Instead, it was about nurturing it, much like feeding and training a loyal puppy.

Our Intelligent control system
We eat food which contains a complex array of chemicals. These are converted into sugars for immediate energy, fats for longer-term storage, together with nutrients and vitamins to replace our body parts as they age and wear.

This is all done by our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies, including our appetite, deciding what and how much we need to eat.
We can see our intelligent control system in operation, moving fats from long term storage to sugars in our blood by monitoring our blood sugar levels.

Food is the key to health.
Junk food is tasty, convenient, inexpensive but not healthy.
Genuine organic food may be healthy but is very expensive.
But there is a third type of food which is both healthy and inexpensive, cheaper than junk food and healthier than organic food.
How can that possibly be? What is the catch? It takes a little effort to understand how food works in our bodies and to grow, or buy, this food takes a little effort, that is the cost of health.  
This web is in two main sections.

Chronic diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia are the major health issue of our time.
They are caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place.
Conventional thinking is that this is caused by eating more than we use, the calorie balance theory.
This theory I almost universally promoted and is the accepted norm.
It does explain how we get fat and sick but does not explain why.
Why is because we have an intelligent controls system which regulates our bodies. If it senses any deficiencies it will send out hunger signals so we eat more.

We know that the world’s biggest health issue is the epidemic of chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia and that these are caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place.
We think we know how to fix it, eat less and exercise more but we have been trying that for decades and we know for sure that it has not worked, people are getting fatter and diabetes is the fastest-growing disease on the planet.
We live in an age of hyper-activity. Everyone is heads down with busy work but maybe it is time to take a break and have a bit of a think.

Junk food is tasty, convenient, inexpensive but not healthy.

Genuine organic food may be healthy but is very expensive.

But there is a third type of food which is both health and inexpensive, cheaper than junk food and healthier then organic food.

How can that possibly be? What is the catch?

My wife Xiulan, a medical doctor and surgeon became diabetic, the
professional medical advice given to us was that diabetes is an irreversible chronic disease, it will steadily get worse, we will put you on progressively stronger medicines but eventually, you are likely to end up with insulin injections and you will probably die young from some complications arising from diabetes.

We accepted that advice as an honest attempt to make us aware of the harsh
reality.

But when her foot started to turn black we were advised that she would
probably need to have her foot amputated.

We must create an ecosystem, a food ecosystem in which humans can thrive.

Charles Darwin taught us that creatures evolve to thrive in their local environment. Humans now have the technology to change our environment, we must use our technology to create an environment where humans can thrive.

Sure our immediate focus is combating the current epidemic, but we won’t do that with some-short term fix.

We have to create the ecosystem, the food ecosystem in which humans can thrive.

Join us in this community benefit movement putting people ahead of profits.

Gbiota is a community benefit organisation aiming to prevent the current epidemic of chronic diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.

These are all caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place.

We all have a highly sophisticated intelligent control system, our gut-brain, which regulates our appetite so we don’t overeat and get fat. It works incredibly well but we need to feed it gut-brain food – plants eaten while fresh, grown in soil teaming with beneficial microbes.gbiotabox

Gbiota shows you how to either grow or buy gut brain-food.

Chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia cause a great deal of personal distress and cost Governments billions of dollars.
They are very difficult to cure but can be prevented relatively easily and at low cost. But that requires a change in the way our Governments, our health systems, and society operate to one with a focus on prevention rather than cure.
The underlying cause of all chronic diseases is the wrong fat in the wrong place.
So how does the fat get in the wrong place?
The wrong fat in the wrong place is the underlying cause of all chronic diseases.

Two-thirds of the population are overweight, the wrong fat in the wrong place is the root cause of all chronic diseases.
Diabetes is the fastest-growing disease with half a billion sufferers and eight million people a year suffering a limb amputation.
Heart attacks are the most common cause of death while dementia must be one of the most distressing diseases.
Health systems are creaking at the joints with not enough doctors and health workers.
A shortage of beds leads to Ambulance ramping.

Across the globe, we are suffering from an epidemic of chronic or non-infectious diseases.
We know that these chronic diseases are caused by the wrong fat in the wrong place and it is widely assumed that this is because we are eating too much sugary fatty foods.
While it is true that we do have to consume an excess of sugary fatty foods this is not the cause. How much and where we store fat is decided by our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies.

Two-thirds of the population are overweight, the wrong fat in the wrong place is the root cause of all chronic diseases.
Health systems are creaking at the joints with not enough doctors and health workers.
A shortage of beds leads to Ambulance ramping.
Governments struggle to maintain an overstretched health system.
The costs to our health system are measured in billions of dollars – one of the highest costs to Governments worldwide.
Welcome as it may be spending more money on health is not the solution so what is the solution?
In one word prevention.

Food – we love it. But it is making us fat and sick and growing it is destroying the soils and planet on which we all depend.

What has gone wrong and what do we do about it?

Some experts say it is because we eat too much so we should eat less and exercise more. Other experts say it is our modern food with too much fat and sugar.

The truth is so simple that no one believes it.
Our bodies have evolved to have an intelligent control system which says stop eating when you are full.

Across the globe we are suffering from an epidemic of chronic or non infectious diseases. Three out of four people die prematurely from a chronic disease. The social and economic costs are massive stretching our medical resources to the limit and at high cost.

We know that these chronic diseases are caused but the wrong fat in the wrong place and it is widely assumed that this is because we are eating too much sugary fatty foods – the calorie balance theory.

While it is true that we do have to consume an excess of sugary fatty foods this is not the cause. How much and where we store fat is decided by our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies. The microbes in our gut are an integral part of out intelligent control system regulating our appetite and immune system.

Our bodies have an intelligent control system which regulates our bodies, particularly our appetite and immune system.

Our gut is an integral part of this control system. If we have the right blend of species in our gut we can expect a long and healthy life, if we have a poor blend of species we get fat and sick.

We teach how to grow plants as pre and pro-biotics. That is the easy bit, understanding and applying the science of breeding beneficial microbes in a special soil, Wickimix largely made from organic and rock dust, and using the principle of Eco balance to create the condition so the beneficial microbes out-breed the harmful microbes.

We are in the midst of an epidemic of chronic diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
They say eat less exercise more but that does not work.
Our gut-brain is part of our intelligent control system which regulates our appetite.
Our modern food system no longer feeds our gut-brain so we have to switch from the calorie balance paradigm to the intelligent control paradigm.
Changing paradigms is always a bloody affair with vested interest this will be particularly bloody.
The article ‘Community Health’ tells the story of this particularly bloody battle.

Jenny, one of our Gbiota members asked a simple question. I am told that my answer is one of the most important articles on how to sustainably grow healthy food and combat the epidemic of chronic disease so I have made this available for public viewing under the creative Commons system – it can be copied and reproduced without further permission, just acknowledgement of source www.gbiota.com

There are two problems.
The short-term problem is that our current food system is deficient in the microbes which form our gut biome and essential minerals which have led to an epidemic of chronic or non-infectious diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
The longer-term problem is our current food system relies on the exploitation of finite resources, particularly water, which is aggravated by climate change and shortages of key minerals which are being exhausted. Phosphorous is the most urgent.

Look around the world and back over time and you will see the great riddle of three communities.
We see low tech communities with a poor food system, lack of hygiene and medical support where people die before their natural life from infectious diseases. This is clearly bad
We see rich high tech communities with a sophisticated food system, good hygiene and medical support and where people die before their natural life from non-infectious or chronic diseases.

The Gbiota process of breeding beneficial gut microbes starts in the soil where the conditions are controlled so the beneficial microbes out-breed and out-compete the harmful microbes.

This is called Eco-balance which is how the world has worked for billions of years.

This is why you don’t find polar bears in the Sahara desert or antelopes in the Arctic. They each require their specific conditions to breed, if those conditions are met they successfully breed and become the dominant creature and if those conditions are not met they are out-bred.

This web is in two parts, the easy bit and the really hard bit.
The easy bit
The easy bit is the technology. Healthy plants need a balanced combination of nutrients, water and air.
Nutrients are easy, all you need to understand is that organic waste, our basic input, already contains a lot of nutrients but will need topping up with essential trace minerals which are found in abundance in volcanic rock dust and you may need a bit of dolomite or calcium to balance the pH.

With all our modern technology and automated production capacity, we should only need to work a couple of days a week to have everything we need and live a healthy life right to the end of our natural life.

But we are not so what went wrong? There is nothing wrong with the technology – we just don’t know how to apply it for the benefit of the community.

But we are not so what went wrong? There is nothing wrong with the technology – we just don’t know how to apply it for the benefit of the community.

I do hold this belief that technology should work for the benefit of the community and it is not. It may be making a handful of people rich beyond imagination but are the benefits of this technology flowing through to the community – I think not.

Is it good that we develop technology so military people can sit in armchair comfort to kill women and children with remote-controlled drones?

The global food crisis is not some threat for the future, it is here right now, it is not just about poor people starving in some remote country it is about people in rich countries suffering from chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.

It is man-man made, if you face having a leg amputated it is a direct result of the food crisis – the wrong sort of food from our modern food system.

Has the world gone mad?
We have mega companies spending billions of dollars on advertising so we buy food that makes us fat and sick and die before our time.
Then we have other big companies that spend billions of dollars on advertising so we buy pills that are supposed to stop us getting fat and sick and dying before our time.
So I wrote a hip-hop E-book called ‘A serious think about food’. This hip-hop E-book is like

I want to sell you a concept. It is free you don’t have to pay me anything but you do have to think seriously about it for five minutes and getting anyone to devote five minutes to thinking is a challenge in these modern times.
There are a number of steps to this thinking, the first one is the difference between conscious and subconscious thinking.

Food paradigm shift I have decided to include this in my hip-hop dynamic book even though I probably should not as I wrote this in a state of fury so you may be better to use the skip button above. The Internet Advising Industry seems to think that the entire world...

At the start, the earth was just a dead inert rock. Then the microbiota appeared, we don’t know from where, but they broke down the rocks making the nutrients in the rocks bio-available creating soil. Plants grew capturing energy from the sun, then animals and life on earth exploded.
Humanoid creatures appeared but they were small and puny. They developed a gut, full of trillions of biota which communicated with each other to provide intelligence, just like a modern computer, which regulated what and how much they wanted to eat and also taught their immune system.

There is a nice story about a smart young lady who stalled her ageing car on a busy road.
Try as she might she could not get the car started and soon there was a monster traffic jam. The man in the car behind started to blow his horn in a furious rage, she did not know what to do so she went to the car behind and said very politely “Excuse me, sir, would you like to try and start my car while I sit in your car and blow the horn”.

It is well known that our gut biota plays a major roles in our health. Many researchers, such as Tim Spector, Professor at Imperial College, London explains this in his book Food for Life.

Microbes breed and die incredibly fast. Within twenty minutes a new microbe will start to breed but will die after maybe seventy hours. The population continues but the individual microbes die.

This was made as a page by a professional graphics designer, I am republishing as a post as I like the graphics

A million years ago the first humanoids appeared, they had a food Eco-system based on eating plants from living soils. These microbes bred in the soil, protected them and they thrived and became us.

Then we changed our food Eco-system, started eating sterile food, we felt unsatisfied, overfed but undernourished, stressed and angry.

Ever think about what food is doing to your body?  There are foods for energy, replace parts as they age and wear and to feed our gut.

There is more than enough energy food in our modern diet, replacement food is marginal but gut food is seriously lacking yet is the most important.

Let me tell you a story.Ever think about what food is doing to your body?  There are foods for energy, replace parts as they age and wear and to feed our gut.

Pick and eat plants grown in living soil – that is the way to feed your gut-brain which controls your appetite and how much fat your body stores.
The wrong fat in the wrong place is the underlying cause of the modern epidemic of chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
This article is an overview of how the Gbiota system works.

We all have an intelligent control system that regulates our bodies. How it works is one of the great mysteries of life. It is not one single organism but is a collection of sensors, intelligence, hormones and electric signals which work together as an integrated system.
If we see a pretty girl offering pieces of cheesecake it will make us feel hungry, if we smell the morning fresh air in a forest it will make us want to get up and walk, if we hear the sound or rhythmic drumming we will want to move our body in synchrony.

Describes the underlying principles of the Gbiota movement

The heartless massacre of ordinary people by powerful militia and the possibility of World War 3 cannot go unnoticed.
Neither can the waves of hungry refugees moving across the globe looking for a safe place to live.
We could say that is just ‘The News’ but look at one of the wealthiest countries in the world, good old Australia. Homeless people sleeping under bridges because there are not enough houses while we have plenty of land while the builders who could build more houses are going bankrupt.

Will the power of mega-corporations that control our food system reign supreme leaving the community fat and sick and destroying civilisation as we know it as the supply of essential minerals is exhausted or will the community rise up and unite so common sense prevails?
Let me start with the story of the mouse and the elephant.

Growers wanted
At this moment Gbiota is used by a pretty determined bunch who are prepared to the bother of making their own Gbiota beds and boxes. However, it is now clear that while there are many people who want to have the health benefits of eating Gbiota food the majority of people just want to have a box delivered to their home.

We need the right sort of microbes in our gut to be healthy. The microbes in our gut communicate with each other to form our intelligent control system which regulates our bodies, particularly how much and what sort of food we want to eat.

My wife Xiulan, a medical doctor and surgeon became diabetic, the professional medical given to us was that diabetes is an irreversible chronic disease, that will steadily get worse, we will put you on progressively stronger medicines but eventually, you are likely to end up with insulin injections and you will probably die young from some complications from diabetes.

Overweight, diabetes, heart attacks, and dementia all have a common underlying cause – the wrong fat in the wrong place.
This is not because we have turned into little piggies and overeat, it is because our modern chemical industrial food system is deficient in phytonutrients and beneficial microbes.

How to grow gut brain food and live a long and healthy life

I have set myself the target of saving 100,000 people from a diabetic leg amputation before the end of 2025.
I know how to do this, I am an engineer and engineers take the best available science and turn this into a practical solution.
But that is not enough, I am also an entrepreneur and entrepreneurs ensure that this practical solution is adopted.
I have a track record I was a pioneer of computer-aided engineering and built up a multi-million dollar company from my back bedroom which ensured that my pioneering technology was adopted globally.

Food is one of the major threats to humanity, not an absolute lack of food – we produce more than enough energy food, carbs, fats and sugars, to feed the entire world now and well into the future.

Right now our food is deficient in essential minerals but even more important is food to feed out gut-brain which regulates our appetite and hosts much of our immune system.

Across the globe people are getting fat and sick, and it is not simply because we overeat. The real reason is that our gut-brain senses these deficiencies, decides we need to store more fat and sends out signals so we overeat.

We get fat because our gut-brain says so

We don’t get fat and sick because we are little piggies and stuff ourselves with chicken wings, chips and ultra-processed foods.
We get fat because we have deficiencies in our diet, this is sensed by our intelligent control system, our gut-brain, which regulates our bodies.
Sensing problems it hits that big red alarm bell sending out messages – hormones and electrical signals – saying we have an emergency, eat more food and store it wherever possible.

Humans have evolved to be naturally not fat – it is not good in the survival stakes. Our bodies naturally sense when we are full and our gut manufactures hormones which make us feel full and stop eating.
So-called obesity drugs, like Ozempic, are humans attempt to simulate the actions of our natural hormones.
But modern food is deficient in both certain trace minerals and more importantly the microbes that form our gut-brain.

It is just a sad fact of life that our modern food system is not working the way it should, which means reduced health span (the length of time we are fit and healthy – not the same as life span) and is the underlying cause of the modern epidemic of chronic of non-infectious diseases.
The underlying cause is the wrong fat in the wrong place which raises the question of why our bodies should store fat in the wrong places – or simply, why do we get fat?
The common answer, from both the lay public and experts in the field, would be that we eat too much and that is simply not consistent with the facts.

I present a plan that will lead to a better life so we and our grandkids can live a happier and healthier life – the plan is about future food which affects us both physically and physiologically.
Right now we are facing a health crisis, both physical and psychological, from deficiencies in our food system. In the future we face an even greater crisis from climate change, degradation of our soils, and exploitation of nutrients.

People across the globe are suffering an epidemic of chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, and dementia. It is the biggest health threat facing humanity (See Survival).
The underlying reason for this epidemic of chronic diseases is the wrong fat in the wrong place.
Everybody has an intelligent control system that regulates our bodies.
It is a combination of our head and gut brains.
We cannot change our head brain, but we can train it and may change how it is expressed (Epigenetics) essentially we are stuck with it.
But we can change our gut brain, simply by what what we eat.

Developing a simple Gbiota box for people living in apartments has been the focus of my development work – Why?
The world is very different to when I was born. Back then infectious diseases were the biggest health issue. We were obsessed with germs, they had to be eliminated at all costs and adopting a chemical approach, swapping manure with chemical fertilisers, toxic sprays and antibiotics we have been successful in killing them.

Humans are the great survivors. We are the dominant species on Earth, spreading across the globe to every corner of the Earth that is vaguely habitable.
Now we are under threat, what could possibly be a threat to this great survivor species? To answer that we have to ask what makes us so good at surviving.
We are not naturally well equipped, we don’t have big teeth or claws like a tiger, we cannot run fast like an antelope and we don’t even have the reaction time of a fly.
