Want to live a long and healthy life?
DIY breed your own gut bugs? Your immediate reaction may be no thanks I am not a microbiologist.
Well, let me tell you, right now you are breeding your own gut bugs, whether you like it or not.
Microbes, I prefer to call them bugs, are everywhere, in the air, our drinks, our food and they breed like crazy doubling every twenty minutes 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 …. trillions.
You can kill them all off with powerful disinfectants but they will be back.
You can’t stop them breeding, the only choice you have is what sort of bugs live inside you.
There are good bugs which make you fit and healthy, not-so-good bugs which make you fat and sick, and bugs that kill you.
You don’t need to be a microbiologist to tell what species of bugs are inside people.
Just go to any shopping centre and you will see people that are fit and healthy, they have the good bugs.
People with wobbly bums and tums, they have the not-so-good bugs.
If you want to see the people with the bad bugs you will have to go to the mortuary to find them.
You can’t stop bugs breeding but you can choose what sorts of bugs are breeding inside you.
If you have the conditions that benefit the good bugs they will out-breed and out-compete the not-so-good and bad bugs.
It has been going on for millions of years and we call it Eco-balance. We can use Eco-balance to select what sort of bugs live inside us.
That is what Gbiota is all about, we can’t breed the bugs for you but we can show you how to create the conditions that will favour the bugs you want, which we assume is the good bugs so you can look forward to a long and healthy life but you have to do it yourself – we show you how.
Our intelligent control 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.
The blend of species in our gut is the result of a long chain, starting in the soil with the nutrients and moisture, the microbes in the soil, the creatures of the soil, the plants that are grown, how quickly the plants are eaten after harvesting and how they are processed.
We have to look at all these factors as an integrated system, which may be complex but we can easily tell if we have it right, we feel satisfied and stop craving more food.
This may seem complex but the final answer is simple, grow your own gut-brain food. Anyone can do it and look forward to a long and healthy life.
We need the microbes
We don’t eat rocks to get our nutrients, we need microbes and fungi to break down the rocks into nutrients we can digest.
Similarly with energy, we need photosynthesis from plants on land or algae in water to capture the sun’s energy.
Our lives are dependent on these micro-organisms.
But they do much more than provide a path to nutrients and energy, they can communicate with each other to provide intelligence which regulates our bodies. We see this with insects like bees and ants, birds that live in flocks, slime moulds and even human society.
We call this swarm intelligence and it is what regulates our bodies which controls our bodily functions particularly our appetite and immune system.
Microbes are essential for life. However, there are beneficial microbes that keep us fit and healthy and harmful microbes that make us fat and sick.
Over millions of years, nature has evolved a system with trillions of microbes and many thousands of species but with the right conditions so the beneficial microbes preferentially out-compete and out-breed the harmful microbes, we call this ecological balance and it is how we exist today.
Generally, microbes breed and die incredibly fast with cells dividing within twenty minutes of formation, we may see the same species over time, they are not the same microbes they are their great, great grand kids, we call this dynamic equilibrium.
There are trillions of microbes in our gut comprising many thousands of species. Initially, these microbes come from our mum but later they come from microbes that breed in the soil, move into the plants we eat and then into our gut biome.
Our health depends on the dynamic equilibrium of the microbes in the soil and in our gut biome.
Our modern food system, centred on chemical industrial agriculture and highly processed foods is lacking these beneficial microbes which has led to a global epidemic of chronic diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attack and dementia.
To overcome this we need to preferentially breed the beneficial microbes in the soil by carefully controlling the conditions, growing plants and eating them while still fresh before the microbes die.
This is not difficult, virtually anyone can do it. We cannot do it for you but we can show you how to do it by having a Gbiota box of plants growing at your home which you pick and eat.
Modern food
Modern food, backed up by a multi-billion dollar highly sophisticated advertising campaign, may claim to be healthy but is making us fat and sick and killing us from man-made chronic diseases, overweight, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
It is deficient in the beneficial microbes which forms part of the intelligent control system which regulates our bodies and also critical trace minerals.
Health starts in real soil, teaming with beneficial microbes and nutrients. Eat plants, grown in living nutritious soil and eaten fresh – not plants grown in chemical soil and eaten days after harvesting.
It is not rocket science, anyone with a little effort can grow plants that will make them healthy. It costs less and is always there in an emergency.
Gbiota shows you how.
But there is so much hype on the web that people have become sceptical. They want to see hard evidence from real people. This takes a social movement.
That is why there are two parts to the Gbiota movement.
The first – the easy bit, is developing the technology – the second is to apply the technology and for that, we need a social movement and why we need you.
Start by reading my last two articles Community Health and Jenny explain why and what we can do about it.
Then decide if you are willing to be part of a social movement to fight the battle for food that will keep us healthy.
We are not a charity and have no funding, we are a social benefit organisation with costs like any other organisation so to join the community we have an annual subscription of $Au15 (about ten dollars US). Use rethinking food login here
You have a free month to decide whether you are prepared to commit your time to the battle for healthy food and avoid getting fat and sick and having people’s legs chopped off from diabetes.
If after the free month, you decide this is not for you cancel – there is no hassle.
If you want to know more I am happy to chat, I can set up video calls, but you have to email me first.
Together we can make the world a better place for humans, (but maybe not for computers).

Busy but not rich
Why are we all so busy and not revoltingly rich?
When I was a kid people worked six days a week growing, making or building things yet we could not keep up with demand.
With automation and computerisation, we have such amazing improvement in productivity that we can produce everything we need in a couple of days a week.
So why are we working five days a week in a fury of work rather than taking the kids to the beach?
Not anti-technology
I could say technology is to blame but that is not right. Let me be clear I am not anti-technology. Far from it, I was a pioneer of Computer Aided Engineering, I built up Australia’s leading exporter of technical software – a company worth half a billion dollars and was recognised by the Australian Institute as one of Australia’s leading innovators.
I am not anti-technology, we could not support the current population without technology.
It’s how we apply technology
We are busy because we live in the information age and big companies need to sell things to people who don’t need or want their products.
Sounds bad? We are all busy keeping the information machine happy – but that does not kill people.
The great challenge facing us all is not how to develop new technologies, we are very good at that – it is how to apply the technology for the benefit of the community and not make a few individuals and companies unbelievably rich, with the wealth of nations.
This is just not right.
