REAL HEALTH - TOXIC FOOD, CHRONIC ILLNESS | Dr. Zach Bush

and so we're we're raising money right now from family offices and we just need a couple more family offices to come alongside This Global project so if you if you're listening and and you are involved in a family office um with philanthropic impact it's a very exciting opportunity for us to start to scale in these you know indigenous environments that are still close enough to their land where they can show us a model that functions as a Biore Regional ecologic economy uh and then bring that back to the west and the North and so we have envisioned the opportunity to start a sister city program which I grew up with you know sister city programs from you know affluent areas of the United States out to Asia or Eastern block Europe or Africa and what we need to do is we need to reverse that and so we need a sister city program where people are bringing us back into culture uh the fundamental break is not just that rentals the fundamental break is we can't imagine a culture where we are connected to Nature and forget about the food system we can't remember what it feels like to be alive we are all so numbed out so distracted so dysfunctional at the societal level by and large that we don't even dream dreams anymore we don't dream what a different reality would look like [Music] welcome man I'm Kimberly and I'm so glad you're here today I am very very excited about our fabulous guest Dr Zack Bush if you're not familiar with Dr Bush he is really doing such good work in the world right now on getting us to an actual real healthy place on the planet he's a triple board certified physician who actually left his practice a while ago to focus on the microbiome the health of her soil and overall health of our population he's doing incredible work he's one of the most Brilliant Minds out there right now really dealing with the food supply and how do we get back to a healthier Humanity I'm super excited about our conversation that's coming up in just a few minutes but what I wanted to let you know you might not know this is Dr bush is the creative spark behind a company called intelligence of Nature and they carry products that I've been using over 5 years now this is actually how I came to know Dr Zack Bush through this ion gut support I've been taking this for over 5 years it's done wonders for my inflammation it healed my leaky gut syndrome it's kept my microbiome in tiptop shape it truly has done wonderful things for my health in addition from ion I also use the skin support this is what I use for sun mitigation it goes all over my face my chest and down my arms whenever I go out into the Sun the team at ion has put together a fabulous deal a great discount for the viewers of this video and I think it's good through the end of July all the details are in the description box down below it really is a great discount for the viewers Dr Bush probably doesn't know anything about it but the team and ion are really on things and they wanted to offer this to the viewers of the video so if you have any issues with IBS or Lecky gut syndrome or just feeling like you're not in tiptop shape or your microbiome could use a little boost you might want to check out the gut support and if you prefer a natural solution for sun mitigation I can highly recommend the skin support and with that let's get on with our guest I'd like to welcome in Dr Zack Bush hi Zach how are you doing today good to be with you can really thank you for the time yeah well thank you it's so I'm so excited to have this conversation I have been talking about of course the intelligence and ner product line for a few years now this is a great opportunity for me to touch Spas with you find out what's what are you focused on today and what are you interested in today however before we get to that I'd like to just do kind of an overview of where you think the state of health is for humans on the planet and we can kind of go from there yeah it is a an amazing few decades that we've all been witnessed to now and it's something that was initially you know witnessed in the medical environment of certainly the halls of academic institutions and and you know Community Hospitals but that's subsequently very obvious in every home in not just America but now in the world in that the chronic disease explosion that began in the 1990s has become something is now one degree of separation from everybody every household has been directly affected um or indirectly affected by one degree you know relative or otherwise of this collapse of biology that's expressing itself not just in humans actually but across the entire planet as ecosystems fail and as we see more more instability in biologic systems of the macro the human systems are failing at the same rate so right now where we stand is is relatively intense moment uh There Was You know the announcements that would came out around 2004 2006 from a lot of the regulatory agencies in the United States warning that the generation born after year 2000 would be the first to be expected to to live shorter than their parents for the first time in over 100 years and so that was kind of a you know a pro prophetic statement that ended up coming out of our Centers for Disease Control and the like and that has now begun to really unfold so uh the Tipping Point was definitely um a couple times there was 2012 big dip then and TW then 2019 2020 was a big shift and then even a deeper shift especially in males in the last 18 months or so and so males of 25 to 55 year old you know previously healthy I've seen almost a 40x increase in mortality in what used to be a low-risk category so really really explosive increases in and death not just morbidity and so right now males are for the first time in decades lagging lagging more than six years behind women in in life expectancy we're down to I think somewhere around an average of 74 point something years now versus the female they're around 80 so it's been a really you know challenging acute decline steepest declines uh you know between 2021 2022 and so these These are changes that I think you know are harbingers of what is to come and if it was just chronic disease and the the prevalence or the shortness of life you know 74 years versus 79 years we probably wouldn't need to be too stressed out about you know a demise of the species but this has been paralleled by another collapse in our fertility in young people since so is this failure of procreation that we are really facing as an Extinction threat uh to our species we now currently have it was one in three males um considered infertile by sperm count but recent articles have been saying as high as 52% of males in the United States have now got sperm counts that are threatening fertility and so as we look towards 2030 and 2035 we can start to see across the the entire world a negative birth rate and so if we're not hitting 2.1 births per individual on the planet there there starts to be a decline and many countries are now well below two and that includes not just the west but also Europe and Asia and South America and recently in India and on the back of every Tuk Tuk and in moai traffic there was a800 number for in vro fertilization and so this is the the severity of the condition that we're in now so you look at the the pattern of chronic disease and of course the life expectancy is a concern as well as the birth rate but also the quality of life that we're seeing is definitely not what we would aspire to what would you what would you point to as the major factors creating this collapse in health and fertility on the planet yeah so when you see something that's this widespread um you can look to Major fundamental building blocks of biology as Ground Zero um this came across my radar in my own Laboratories um as far back as 2011 2012 I was running a my own clinic at the time that was a Nutrition Center for reversing chronic disease through food and what we were witnessing was that a lot of our patients even two years in who were being extremely uh compliant with these really intense anti-inflammatory you know plant-based diets we're seeing an increase in inflammation and so this drove us back to the drawing board to understand why 40 Years of Food Science and and nutrition science wasn't working and that quickly L us to the realization that the the medicine with the food had disappeared and the food was now carrying poisons instead of medicine and those toxins that were being carried were residues of herbicides uh that had been applied to soil and crop systems uh during their growing cycle and the most prevalent of those is certainly glyphosate we're now at billion pounds a year of application of that single chemical globally but unfortunately it's still a small part of all the herbicides that are sprayed on our food systems today because Roundup which is the the most common commonly known product to carry life State as an active ingredient as a weed killer Roundup became so prevalent in the American food system and agricultural systems that there was a widespread development of Roundup resistant weeds in farm Fields throughout the Midwest and that led to the need for multichemical herbs side treatment across farms and and crop systems and so the FDA as far back is 2018 or so approved three SE three GMO seed combinations where a Single Seed of corn or soybean could be genetically modified to handle not just glyphosate or Roundup which was the typical Roundup Ready crop that was you know patented back in 1994 and really put into play in 1996 in a big way corn so being in 30 other crops now we have Roundup uh 24d which is uh basically the agent orange chemical from the Vietnam War era we've got damba in that mix as well as some of the nicotinamides uh don't know if it's completed now but I know that there's near completion of a five chemical seed that will be being grown throughout the Midwest soon as well that includes a couple other of the more toxic including uh a very old one that we had Tred to get off the market back in the 1970s um and so we're seeing this just massive penetration of of chemical management of Food Systems which is trickling down not just into our soil but unfortunately contaminated water systems and with 4 billion pounds of a water soluble molecule like glyphosate it ends up going into every nook and cranny of the entire planetary cycle of water so it can be found in fossil aquifers it can be found in uh rainfall air we breathe in the United States for now 85% of the rain collected is detectable for glyphosate 85% of the rainfall I'm sorry the air we breathe and so that that is you know getting to a saturation point where all of biology is being threatened you know through these single Pathways and the pathway that we've studied uh the most is around the two-fold process of energy production inside the cell which is from my mitochondria which are small bacteria that live inside your cells each human cell has 200 or so mitochondria in there if it's a nerve cell like a brain cell then it's 2,000 mitochondria per cell and those small bacteria are very sensitive to the influence of even tiny amounts of glyphosate so parts per billion levels that you would find in typical drinking water or city water or food systems even at those level we're seeing a decrement in the ability of mitochondria to make energy so what's really happening is the dimming of biology on the planet whether you're an earthworm a bacteria in the soil or a human you're feeling the pressure of a decreased amount of energy at the cell level what this leads to is a reduction in cell repair cell detox cell motility in the case of something like a sperm and so you're getting this decrement in light energy that the mitochondria are responsible for producing and so that's probably you know the foundation of it is the lights are going out and then the second piece of that is really around this destruction of the barriers of the body and this includes the gut barrier which is composed of billions and billions of cells from you know the your mouth nasal cavity sinuses all the way down through the upper GI tract through the stomach through the small intestine through the colon that entire system has a t a surface area the size of a tennis cord and so that massive surface area composed of billions and billions of cells functions as an intelligent gatekeeper of nutrient passaging nutrient preparation water absorption from the gut as glyphosate and other residues start to enter the system we've been able to demonstrate that the tight junctions that produce that single gatekeeper start to fall apart and this leaves to a leaky gut phenomenon and and you've experienced this in your own you know Journey with with ion and the rest is that we are now starting to lack the very fundamental basis of biology as to how we maintain protein synthesis protein production uh protein organization and protein folding into these complex structures that then protect the body not just at the gut level but also the bloodb brain barrier vascular system at the kidney tubules that do all of our detox all of those systems rely on tight Junction production and so as those tight junctions are undermined in their ability to to remain coherent VI leaky gut leaky brain leaky kidneys across the board your body is failing to compartmentalize um the identity of of its systems and with that you get complete immune system overwhelm so decrement and mitochondrial function that that lights are dimming on biology on the planet due to herbicides and pesticides protein synthesis and and protein function is declining so enzyme function protein barriers all of that's decreasing and then finally this immune system overwhelm is the result for that we get chronic inflammation chronic dysfunction throughout body leading to these diseases yeah and you know you can look around particularly those of us who might be watching that're a little bit older we're now seeing things like peanut allergies gluten allergies chronic fatigue syndrome things that we were not we did not see in our lives as younger people let's talk about the buildup of these toxins in our environment not just in the regular everyday but in the areas that are Farm producing areas I know the mouth of the Mississippi has become an extremely tox IC area let's talk a little bit about what happens when that starts building up in mass in different localities yeah this this begin my journey into you know Global advocacy for a different you know food and agricultural system um we once we uncovered the relationships of Life Sate to the breaking of protein structures inflammation Pathways my background was in chemotherapy development so I studied cancer cells and my area of expertise of cancer cells was actually mitochondria and so I was developing chemotherapies specific to the mitochondria or targeting the mitochondria of cancer cells and when we started to undercover glyphosate realized this this was kind of Ground Zero of not just cancer but really of the dysfunction of biology that leads to these chronic inflammatory states that leads to you know we can map it actually just by public health and added these chemicals in 1976 to the American food system by the early 1980s we have an obesity epidemic by the late 1980s we have a type two diabetes epidemic starting to be identified we wouldn't even dream at that point how bad that was going to get but the the red flags were going up early 1990s we start to get red flags on new autoimmune dysfunction the the creation of the celiac disease Phenomenon with the severe autoimmunity due to gluten sensitivity uh turns out our laboratory one of our first peer-reviewed science articles that we published 10 years ago was that that's actually a glyphosate injury not a gluten injury when gluten carries glyphosate you get this combined injury to the that leads these IM deep immune dysfunctions thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune disease in other glands like the thyroid the adrenals the skin Etc starting to accelerate by the late 1990s and then by the early 2000s you see this explosion obvious of Alzheimer's dementia Parkinson's and males Alzheimer's and women the uh Advent of all the leukemias and lymphomas late 1990s into 20068 time frame and so all of that was happening and I got interested in what you're talking about is well I wonder if this maps not just as a country but can we map it geographically to the amount of Life they used in the environment and that led to the creation of the farmers footprint uh storytelling and awareness vehicle which is a nonprofit We started it in 2019 uh based on the filming 2017 and 18 along the Mississippi River we started in Minnesota went all the way to the headquarters of the Mississippi uh or from the headwaters of Minnesota all the way to the mouth of the Mississippi down in New Orleans and that you know 1200 mile Journey took us through ghost towns uh for that Thousand Mile Journey literally every retail shop boarded up every restaurant boarded up bars boarded up and while we were making that trip the US Postal Service was actually closing post offices all the way down and so we were seeing not just the again the disease of of the population at the biological level we were seeing the the fundamental collapse of economy following that level of disease and failure of production of land people Etc and so this ghost town that we call the middle of America ends in the last 90 miles in Mississippi between Baton marouge and New Orleans and of course there we see certainly depressed economies but since that advent 1996 of GMO crops that allowed us to logarithmically increase the amount of Roundup ending up in that River we saw the explosion of cancer in that territory and so this is now called cancer alley it's the highest rates of cancer in the entire developed world and as we went through that region it was not unusual to find a farm family dealing with their fifth cancer just in Mom and Dad alone and so was just unbelievable even for a cancer Dock and you know kind of chemotherapy guy I I just couldn't have conceived for that Journey just how extreme this crisis has gotten in the middle of America and as I've now traveled globally over the last five years to agricultural zones all over the world the second big Zone behind the Midwest to really adopt the large chemical agricultural systems of what was called the Green Revolution of the 1960s and 70s was Punjab India and there's actually something called the cancer train that runs out of Punjab they don't have a large tertiary care Cancer Center in that entire area of the country that state and so um they actually have a train that runs from the capital Punjab to a neighboring place and it's just a normal commuter you know train or a domestic train system but over the last you know 10 years they've seen this same explosion of cancer and pun job and it became termed the cancer train because on any given day that that thing is traveling 60% of the people on the train are going to get chemotherapy in the nearby State and so this this could not have been imagined you know when we started the journey in the 1970s and I don't think it was necessarily you know known what was going to happen I think even though we knew these chemicals were inherently harmful at some level of exposure biology before we dreamed of genetically modified crops in which we could actually spray the actual food with these chemicals it was just being used as spot weed killer and the amount of residues were extremely low in the 1970s but as the usage started to ratchet up in 1991 debuted we started spraying wheat directly with uh glyphosate as a desicant rather than a wheat agent um and so what a desin is it basically accelerates the drying of crop so it can be harvested quicker and a higher yield of of harvest can be had especially in Northern climates where uh snow or early winter might be threatening the crop and so so this is when wheat suddenly was carrying extremely high levels of of glyphosate and unfortunately that same practice now dominates the market of lentils and other legumes uh the lentils and and other parts of the food system have been blamed for lectins by one of my colleagues who who thinks lectins is causing all this disease the lectins have been an important part of our diet since origin of time just as wheat has and the gluten and so it's really the gluten and the lectin in these legumes and Grains that are contaminated with very high levels of desicant that that utilize glyphosate as an active ingredient that we end up seeing these biologic levels that are creating these massive dysfunctions of of human immunity and the rest so that's been a bit of our journey I think unintentional originally but with the success of these these herbicides and pesticides and with the increasing collapse labor on farms and the decreasing amount of Revenue on farms it demanded a scaling of size so not 300 acres on a family farm but at least 3,00 th Acres on a family farm not managed by three generations but managed by one aging generation the average age of the farmers in the United States range from you know 59 in some areas to as high as 70 in some areas so we've lost a generation or two of of younger Farmers as they have been you know trafficked out of the the rural areas to get you know high high paying or white color jobs we've completely undermined our complete you know knowledge of how to produce food within the country fortunately there's a Renaissance going on that right now we see more young people getting engaged in agricultural programs around the country than in in probably 100 years as far as the percent increase and so I think there is going to be a backlash to this collapse of productivity and you know 2020 maybe was an accelerate to that change of mindset because we saw you know seeds sold out of every grocery store and every hardware store in the country for for a year so there is there is a Renaissance in it there that I'm very excited about so as as desperate as our path has been it may have been the necessary Journey for us to reclaim ultimately sovereignty not just at the Food Level but actually at the human health which is really say human consciousness right exactly I want to just take a little bit of a a second to stop and really visit some common sense as far as our food supply since I have become aware of the glyphosate issue and herbicides and pesticides used in our food supply I I've been screaming from the rooftops about round up it's still in produ it's still being manufactures it's still available in every store in this country you have been screaming about it in a very nice way and as well as Legions of others who are really interested in true health and yet nothing changes yeah it's been really frustrating and and almost bizarre Journey because our team is testified into the EPA in front of the Trump administration's EPA and Biden administration's EPA and you can't get more polar opposite of the you know the the views of our presidents or their platforms and yet these Regulatory Agencies continue to be untouched in their in their assuming approval of these things and it's not just the United States you see other countries trying to get glyphosate out of the system and then you know industry moves in creates a fear campaign and then there's a backlash and then you see Mexico for example backtracking on its goal to have a glyc life saave free country by 2025 uh they've just backed off on that just in the last couple months and said well we're not sure when we're going to be able to make it happen but we're working on it kind of thing Europe same kind of thing where you know it was said that it was going to be successful the only country that I'm aware of that's really going to succeed in this is Russia um and then that kind of backlashed the Western Technologies has allowed them to see the opportunity to reclaim uh Food Systems and and so not just Russia but also the Eastern block countries that used to be part of the USSR were part of that movement and Ukraine was certainly the Bread Basket of the region by the time the war started there Germany for example had many years previous uh stopped buying any grains from North America including Canada and that was because of their recognition of the amount of chemical residues and those Foods were causing widespread health problems in their population they then moved to the entire you know organic system of of Ukraine and parts of Russia and you see this you know change happened you know you know perhaps part of the political Matrix that led to a war there to kind of collapse things because we actually are now rushing into Ukraine and US private Equity firms are buying up all their Farmland so whether by intent or certainly by result what was the competitor to the US you know Marketplace in Europe and in Eastern Europe there is now being co-opted by you know the systems that are putting these chemicals into play at Large scale so it it's basically a financial SL economic slash you know kind of food system you know functional economy I would say it's it's so interesting because it's you cannot solve this by telling Farmers to stop spraying glyphosate it just doesn't work because they are involved in an economic system that has incentivized the use of these chemicals and genetically modified seeds for decades and the pressure in the courts and otherwise and probably most importantly the pressure in the banks is keeping Farmers from being able to make the right decisions on for their land you can't get a bank loan without USDA crop insurance in most circumstances and the USDA won't crop insure regenerative organic crops because they say that you know if you're not using these chemicals in herb siid pesticides you're you're high risk for failure crop BL BL blah and so with that then the farmer can't get the loan for the inputs the seed fertilizers Etc that would be um helping them make that transition so it it's a real it's important for us to you zoom up to that macro macroeconomics level where there's an understood economic military industrial complex that's really tied up in all of this as much as you know Farm fields and management of soil systems yeah been a a sobering reality for me because that when I started out in 2017 I was like this is so simple we just need to show farmers what's happening to the Public's health and we need to show the public what's happening to their health and show them why and we can agree that farmers and consumers can change and then you find out there's this whole system between those two realities that control the vast majority of the money Farmers used to make what is it 60 cents on the dollar orbe was 46 46 cents on the dollar um of consumer dollars by the end of the 1960s today it's 13 cents on every consumer dollar and so we've gutted the profitability of the farm by putting all these middle systems and chemical relationship and chemical dependence into our farming system so that the chemical companies are walking away from with most of the money that's borrowed from Banks and the only person on the line at risk is the farmer um so that's that's a tragedy on a deep level but also the opportunity for the reinvention of the food system from the ground up yeah and I want to get into that but I do want to point out the insanity of supporting A system that was meant to nurture humans that is ultimately making them sick yeah and it I think insanity be the only definition if everybody understood it um so few people understand it and this goes all the way up to you know our Senate and Congress and you know certainly the executive branch completely clu but I've spent time on Capitol Hill you know our team has testified in front of the EPA but I've you know spent an evening with six of our 100 US senators all of whom were on the a committee two of whom were the chair of the ACT committee and the chair of the a the farm bill Appropriations committee and here's these people have doled out over a trillion dollars of you know funds through the farm bill over the last 20 years and yet they had absolutely no idea about what glyphosate was doing to soil systems biology at large or anything and so here's the people that are making the decisions at the governmental level completely unawares and ultimately it's it's no wonder they they're they're on a lifelong political paths me as a doctor I I'm 0.1% of doctors that know anything about glyphosate and so if the scientists have absolutely an idea the doctors have no idea probably unrealistic that our lawmakers that are putting together these incentive packages and subsidy programs and the USDA crop insurance as part of that that farm bill and ironically something like 80% of the farm bill is is now going to safety net programs to get processed foods to people that can't afford food and so you know it's just like the whole thing is so upside down but you can see that because the environment got so abstract in its value systems that's it's inevitably resulted in an abstract food system abstract regulatory system abstract policy system and uh it's just time to begin again it's time to begin again when I look back at my life the person who probably tops the list of Heroes in my life is my grandmother my grandmother could plant a garden tin the Garden harvest the garden can the garden cook the garden raise the meat hens process the meat henss pluck the meat hens and I spent many a day sitting on the back porch plucking chickens with my grandmother she could do everything we even had a neighbor down the street that grew worms and we trade coffee grounds for worms and that was the environment we lived in the day that my grandmother walked into the house with a box of biscuit she was over the moon because that box of bisquit meant for her a couple of extra hours of Freedom during the week or or she could do more ironing or she could do more handwashing that woman worked from morning till night to keep a family fed and clothed and this and that what that has taught me that that enthusiasm she had for that bisck is the seduction of convenience and I look around at us as a civilization particularly in the US and other Western countries and it it's almost as though we've been a little little bit of a pi Piper activity of marching us down the road of convenience really in exchange for connection to the Earth connection to our existence here on the planet to really getting our hands in the dirt and growing the food that we're going to be eating and we're now in a situation where a lot of people wouldn't even know how to plant a seed or to harvest a piece of fruit but they don't want to do it they don't want to be involved in it so I I want to start taking a look at the systems that have been put in place that have led us to a place where our health is degenerating our happiness is generating we're losing hope we're losing that spark of humanity and maybe what you're saying is true when I kind of see it too there's going to be a push back to where we're going to walk away from the systems that have really created such a poor level of Health on the planet not only in humans but others what are your thoughts on that yeah so well said the story is so poignant U your grandmother certainly came out of the World War II generation that was growing 40% of the food for the United States and backyard gardens and that wasn't limited to the US same thing in the UK and other parts of the Allied Forces these were known as Victory Gardens was the big you know marketing campaign for this and so there had already been a train pre Trend pre-war World War II for people to to rely on the conveniences you're starting to talk about widespread Refrigeration became available around World War II and really shifted the way in which we stopped fermenting our food we were able to store food longer and so we we really got out of the the daily necessity for creating our food you know in the backyard and in that we began this journey to a loss of relationship with with our food source uh that has you know really accelerated in recent decades we went for 40% with your grandmother's generation you know providing you know 40% of the nutrients in her home whe from her backyard C to now less than 0.01% so there's been a fundamental complete and utter loss of that skill set and convenience and I think you know cost as well so convenience slash you know affordability of processed foods and processed you know systems of consumer goods was paralleled by the food sciences that came out in 1960s um even pioneered in the 1950s but really perfect the 1960s of what was the combination of fat salt sugar combinations and then chemicals things like pretty much every every every artificial sweetener you can think of but H Rose corn syrup was a good example of it but then then the chemical sweeteners like aspartame and or neutr suite and all those that have come out over the years have all just been you know layering on top of you this you know a very strange subsidized Commodities Market that no longer resembles food and so was the economic and Lifestyle paralleled by food sciences that were addicting our brains and why would anybody eat a twinky they're they're not even something resembling food and yet they trigger this fat salt sugar combination in the brain that's you know n to cocaine and so we get a cocaine surge mashed with convenience and now you're now you're in it bisqui is is quickly adopted because you're getting a chemical neurochemical you know affirmation that you're doing the right thing by transitioning out of a couple hours of Labor to produce something real those were some of the forces that you know came into play and so I think it was not entirely social but really programmed neurochemistry that was going on and in our food sciences that far back and I think nowadays it's you know just beyond refute uh how much money is being poured into every you know company out there as to how do we get customers addicted to our particular granola bar or you know what it is you no long have to go to McDonald's to find food science addiction you're finding food science Addiction in in the entire Matrix of the natural health Expo you know that my company you know tries to attend every year is just there should there's nothing natural in there and there's nothing that should be called Health in there really so um the natural health Expo for the health food industry is a demonstration that these these addictive marketing Tac of both the chemicals and the messaging of energy and the messaging of health and all these things have completely you know abstracted the whole whole industry yeah if it's got a commercial don't eat it probably true that's probably true it's probably I think it is true so we've really kind of laid bare the whole food production food system in the US and and other developed countries I don't know if there's any country that really has been able to Escape it I know that Africa is even seeing a decline in birth rates let's talk about what you see because I know I just know that you probably think about this all the time because I know I think about it a good amount of the day I can imagine you're even more so let's talk about what the solutions can be are we too far gone are we looking at an Extinction andent I hear from the work that I do that humanity is going to make it how do we fix this what are you excited about what do you see as some real opportunities for us to take back our food supply take back our health take back our connection to Nature I don't know anybody who would be out walking in the forest wishing they were in the office sitting under fluorescent lights in their little cubicle that's where that's where we really connect so what do you see as the exciting things that you're looking at right now yeah uh so we launched Farmers footprint which was a global campaign for raising awareness of regenerative agriculture and in 201819 and we've gained traction around the world with those conversations and and the large scale storytelling that we've been allowing Farmers to tell their story back to other farmers and the public at large rather than me as a scientist telling people the dangers of these things because the stories of of recovery and Rebirth of farms and their soil systems and the nutrient density of their Foods is so much more joyful and and impactful ultimately I hope than than the Dismal State of Affairs we've currently reached and so I think positive storytelling is a really potent you know form of transformation but as we've done that over the years we our teams have continued to morph into their realization that stories are only potent if they're part of a cultural Renaissance it can't just be the story you need to develop a new culture to do that you need to develop that new mindset that you were just you know referencing I think which is we've got to solve this original wound that we are separate from nature and this is all the way down to our language you go to the Oxford English Dictionary it defines nature is everything in the permanent of the Earth the minerals plants the animals as opposed to humans or anything humans have made and so the fact that we see ourselves in such radical opposition to Nature and the Very de definition of the concept I think is really elucidates the the depth of this wound and this is where we must begin and so for this we've you know created a number of projects one was called rear studio uh in which we're really trying to you know create an environment through the teachings of Carol Sanford and living systems is to how do Executives and stakeholders and finance and cpg companies and the fluid supply chain at large start to become part of the solution rather than the problem and I think that's been a real joy to realize that the the longer we spend making movies that Dam some company or Dam some you know governmental agency the longer it's going to take for us to get to the solution like we have to sit down as a global Community recognize the depth of the wound biologically psychos spiritually economically Etc and just admit that all right we got to start again and every stakeholder is going to need to be part of this this new game and we're going to have to play it all at once because you can't change one piece of it like I said you can't just change the toolbox the farmer using in the soil management you got to change the banks and the regulatory systems that make those bank loans happen and goes on and on and on so we got to bring all stakeholders together and so globally we have a mission called project biome which is there to create the largest social movement in history very quickly by connecting the stakeholders there's over 10 million nonprofits running globally now and the vast majority of those are running in spaces of social or ecological recovery efforts as you know that that everything's been heading south and all of those metrics that those 10 million organizations are trying to address largely because of a disc connect between their scale their ability to story tell their ability to measure impact accurately their ability to mobilize monies effectively so that the scale of the change can happen many of them being very successful in small areas of local environments but it's not trickling up to the hole and so just the nonprofit area is in desperate need of some connective tissues so project biome has been working primarily in Africa which is the birth canal of biodiversity running from about you know the east coast of South Africa all the way up to Egypt is a Zone that's that functions as the biologic birth canal for all biodiversity on the planet it was the original bacteria first fungi first humans you know all the way through a four billion history this is where New Life comes and this is where the vast majority of the the decorative plants that we use in our yards in North America or originated somewhere along that birth canal new flower species new deciduous tree species all of that and so it's been really fascinating to go right to the the birth environment of life on Earth and put into play some of these alternative ways of thinking and so project biome is bringing all these stakeholders together in in events but also starting to allow for them to start organically creating an organism rather than organizations when we create a single organism out of millions of nonprofits we will right there have the large of social movement in history in this advocacy space and as we bring governments governmental funding together and everything else we can bring this alignment that can radically change these systems almost overnight and what we found that emerged in this very early in this journey is that if we are going to begin again we have to begin in the most impoverished most damaged spaces of the earth and that's what we did in Northern South Africa um and one of the projects that emerged from our our work with one of the largest communities of four million people that have been displaced into a rural deep poverty state with no running water no sewage process just no waste management and so they've desertified and poisoned you know rivers and everything else just with the amount of trash coming out of this these you know impoverished areas and we started with a program called 10 trees and it's been really really exciting to watch this thing just explode over the last 10 months and uh what it basically recognized was that if we were able to train women to grow just 10 perennial food producing trees bushes or vines in their backyards in these tiny little you know deep Bush environments we could have food sovereignty within those communities within just a couple years and that food sovereignty would run for the next seven generations the cost of 10 little tree saplings is Tiny and the training only takes three weekends to train them how to make their own soil and compost how to make their own uh watering systems and and and the like and what we have seen is not just a revolution of the concept of food but the revolution of leadership among these women this particular community that we started in 2,000 households largely single women of children you know raising children alone After exiting battered uh domestic violence environments in the Greater Community or from distant areas and in just 10 months 10% of those households have gone under the 10 tree program training and before a single piece of fruit will develop on those trees we've seen radical change in the community these women are suddenly empowered to start their own little companies and start Enterprise Concepts and start talk to their neighbors for the first time and this resilience and pride and this self-awareness has just been leaping out of this community and these women are really showing us something that we just had absolutely no idea was going to happen which is that when you create sovereignty at the the level of relationship to Nature and nature becomes your partner everything corrects you know 40 generations of deep trauma in these familial lines suddenly seems to be erased in a matter of weeks and their confidence level they just look like different people head high chest held held in confidence they're out there with Open Hearts sharing information sharing seedlings everybody that comes in their yard they want to give a Seedling to because they're like this one you know I got two in this pot and you could have one and then this like it's a gifting economy is Flowing out of the most depressed the most socioeconomically vulnerable and threatened groups on the planet just because they found their relationship Back To Nature and so this gives me great hope that we are on a tra path as a Humanity to allow our old version of humans to go extinct we must we have genetic junk we we have too much genetic trauma accumulated in the current human to persist and so we must die to that version of our human expression and we must create a new version that begins at a trusting relationship without fear guilt and shame towards this relationship with nature itself and for there we're going to begin again yeah that that's very exciting to me that's exactly the kind of world that I would love to step into you used a word that's a real hot button for me and that is sovereignty and what I have seen in the you know in the span of my life is humans in general giving away their sovereignty giving away their power giving away their control of their lives in favor of systems that really are not serving them in a way that's supporting Humanity how do you see putting together a program like 10 trees for areas like you know suburban Chicago or San Francisco how do you see that applying around the world in different environments and do you think it would be as effective yeah it's it's really big question and I think in our current environment the answer is no not at all I don't think it's actually even possible in a lot of situations because uh American Urban environments are almost entirely rental situations and in a rental situation where your the security of your home is down to months not years uh there is no incentive and no sense of safety of planting 10 trees in your backyard because you don't think you're going to live there in a few months you risk of eviction due to your next Miss paycheck whatever it is um the the fragility of of Americans relationships to land is so unstable that I think that it's it is going to be a much different Journey here and so we're we're raising money right now from family offices and we just need a couple more family offices to come alongside This Global project so if you if you're listening and and you are involved in a family office um with philanthropic impact it's a very exciting opportunity for us to start to scale in these you know indigenous environments that are still close enough to their land where they can show us a model that functions as a Biore Regional ecologic economy and then bring that back to the west and the North and so we have envisioned the opportunity to start a sister city program which I grew up with you know sister city programs from you know affluent areas of the United States out to Asia or Eastern block Europe or Africa and what we need to do is we need to reverse that and so we need a sister city program where people are bringing us back into culture um the fundamental break is not just that rentals the fundamental break is we can't imagine a culture where we are connected to Nature natur and forget about the food system we can't remember what it feels like to be alive we are all so numbed out so distracted so dysfunctional at the social level by and large that we don't even dream dreams anymore we don't dream what a different reality would look like we may yearn for that reality we may desperately want a different future but you hear a lot of people talking about they hope things work they hope it gets better they hope the next president changes things whatever in the in the reality is none of that's going to change we've already proven that for decades it's it's going to be healing these deep wounds and then rebirthing a culture that knows itself in the context of Nature and then we'll develop a different value system and therefore a different Society uh that has a massive potential in the future and and we could certainly we already have all of the knowhow to make sure that there's no no hungry child on the earth in the next 30 Years now we can erase world hunger World poverty all that through understanding what food sovereignty does at the individual level it's a very simple journey and and ultimately doesn't take much work is the interesting thing this 10 tree prayam like I said two or three weekends of training and anybody can do this and then it takes almost no maintenance once the trees are you know off and running in the ground and so you've got this journey of you know food safety that really could begin the journey out of fight ORF flight State as as Humanity so the sister city program that we envision is I want people to feel what I get to feel when I go to the tent tree program in rural South Africa which is an enormous amount of hilarity and joy and laughter because there is so much dancing and music you literally will build a compost pile with a group whove never made compost before and as soon as the compost stack is made somebody grabs a bucket turns it upside down gets an African rhythm going everybody's singing and doing line dances together and doing the thing all around the compost pile and they're laughing and they're and then they sit down they share food and they share stories we don't remember how good it can feel to be alive we lost our culture because our culture became you know disenfranchised from nature and for that we forgot how to create and how to express ourselves creatively and so our creative our creative expression right now is very monotonous you can go to like your your typical Music Festival to see this you know the most liberated young people in the world are all wearing the identical F Festival clothes you know and it's combat boots and sort of skimpy outfit and a gold band around the the arm and every woman is now dressed like a goddess in in in the social Norm but it nobody's ever looked worse than than the way we look in these Festival environments so our most extreme like Freedom spaces we have just it's so obvious we've utterly lost our our gr of individuality and we no longer trust that we're that we're special we we we've forgotten that we are children of Nature and therefore we have a real deep failure of confidence and for that we stopped dreaming and when humans disconnect from their curiosity and therefore their creativity we stop being human we simply become you know something remembered rather than lived and that's that's kind of what's happening is we're we're remembering at best a remembered reality but unfortunately very little time to even remember anything anymore and we're just simply living somebody's abstract reality that's being fed to us yeah I I agree with that you know when I look at what's happening on the planet right now and as a civilization a collective that's living in a reality system what I see is an enormous lesson on what not to do and 500,000 years from now as Earth has transitioned out of this into something hopefully new healthier better more exciting more energizing to the human spirit we can really look at this knowledge base of we have done that and this is this is the tragic results of those choices and that's why we do it this way now that's why we connect with the Earth that's why we stay small and communities those are the lessons that I think these really hard times are going to inform the generations that come much further down the road from us so you know one of the things I I was I had a someone on the the show just did an interview and she was channeling a collective and I asked the collective do you enjoy working with Earth humans is this something that is it's exciting for you and they said absolutely however it is Tainted by what we see as a severe lack of hope in humanity and boy that hit me right in my heart space Zach because there are times GES where while I manage the day-to-day and follow that path of what feels good and what feels right and what sounds exciting I can't say that I always have a lot of Hope because it's hard for us to see an outcome that is nurturing that is warm that is loving that is connecting from where we sit how do you walk yourself through those times and and what can you share as we kind of start wrapping up what can we what do you see as useful activities as useful challenges as useful thought patterns that is going to help get us down a path that's going to nurture Humanity instead of slowly killing it yeah ultimately the process is one of you know stop doing and start being and what that largely is experientially is the is the Advent of of the capacity to feel again and so we have dumbed Down The Human Experience down to thinking and emotions all of which is very I would say low vibrational energy the high vibration energies that come out of a human body are achieved when you suddenly ping something that you would call Joy or love these frequencies are multitudes higher logarithmically higher than the frequencies of thinking or the frequencies of of having an emotion so the feeling of joy is much different than than the emotion of Happiness being happy is about a 7c chemical event in the brain being in a state of joy is independent of what's going on in the day you can have lots of stressors happening and all that but you're if you're feeling that vibration of Joy through your axis you're grounded in that you can can navigate you can do the big wave surfing of emotions and stressors and whatever else because you're actually feeling Joy rather than having an emotion and so the feelings or Carrier waves whether it be Joy or state of Peace unconditional love grief these these These are big waves that can carry us through ups and downs and and tragedy and the rest whereas if we're looking for that next neurochemical hit that drug effect of an emotion or that drug effect of you know a quick you know thought that relieves us of like oh maybe that's the solution I was caught up in that solution minded I got to fix everything for decades as a doctor as a dad as a husband as a you know Community member it goes on and on and I wore myself out completely I had no more energy for Life wasn't until I realized that I wasn't supposed to be doing anything I was starting I was supposed to be experiencing life which is to say feeling what it felt like to be alive and it it was a long journey 10 years of every day changing my lifestyle changing my practices changing my thought changing my language changing the ways in which I was you know fundamentally disempowering my biology my psyche my emotions everything else and moving towards this and so out of that we created an 8we program called journey of intrinsic Health which ultimately was the the graduation of myself as a doctor in my entire medical clinic we folded all that just a year and a half ago into the Journey of intrinsic Health which is an eight-week program that takes you through the eight steps that I discovered in my own path of detoxing my my original wounds and starting to heal something deep inside myself and so I I took a you know a bit of a personal promise when I when I first started my clinic in 2010 this is after 17 years in Academia and chemotherapy development everything else was I was not going to do anything to any of my patients anymore that I wasn't willing to do to myself first and what that quickly ruled out was any medications like I had I had never wanted a drug in my body and I I didn't take any medications and I knew exactly why I wouldn't take any medications that I was prescribing to my patients and so I just I had that conviction of like what am I doing calling myself a fer if I know that the very drugs I'm utilizing I would never want my own body and so that kind of reversal of the Paradigm became a really nice you know measure for my or metric for am I on my right path or not and it took me years and years to figure out what health practitioner would do if not with a big biochemical toolbox of Pharmacy and the result was ultimately this 8we program uh which starts with the first module which is B and it is learning how to detox your mind and spirit from all of the artificial identities all the external identities that you've taken on often for good altruistic measures but you've taken on external realities and therefore lost yourself and so that first week is the most intense process of really uncovering source code your original Source your original identity and in that we see healing begin almost immediately because healing is ultimately a reconnection to the original design the original map that you knit yourself together in your mother's womb with there's no template in that womb there's nothing in the womb saying hey you cell go be a kidney cell you want there's nothing inside the cell that we've found that determines what cell becomes wet thing and so this is this is a template that not only happens at the genetic level and expression of a kidney cell it's a three-dimensional Journey where that cell now knows how to travel through vacuum space or the potential space of a womb to get to a location that will someday become a kidney that is all held in the electromagnetic field not in the biology it's to say it's a physics event or geometry biogeometry rather than biology and so that's what you get to carry around the rest of your life is the original template and so right now you are modulated you are literally vibrating frequencies in and out of particle state every millionth of a second your body is disappearing and reappearing every Milli of second every single cell every single molecule every single atom is going back into the invisible state of wave and then coming back into particle state to align to the original map so why are you able to carry disease it's because we've started to layer in unhealed human emotions for these vibrations that break genetic patterns of repair because you're disconnecting the original math from the biologic expression so what we're walking around with today is layers and layers and layers of divorce from the original design because it wasn't just our lifetime that we carry but the 40 Generations for us so this is where we get to this inevitable death of something because we have so much disease in the system that's that's the journey that that we can now enter together is let's all go on this journey you do the eight-week course but you can also join the membership community and not take the coursework because immersing yourself again in the culture of change is is as important as going through the the individual steps on your own personal health Journey as we vibrate at higher and higher frequ frequencies we get to act as tuning Forks to one another and the products that we're producing in the laboratory that you've experienced these ion products intelligence of nature was designed as a brand understanding that nature is inherently intelligent for its diversity and when you get back in touch with a biodiverse soil system which is what these products carry is the the the nutrients and the and the intelligence or the communication network of ancient soil systems as you come in touch with this communication system all of your cell begin to recognize self they recognize the original design and we get to see healing happen in Petri dishes let alone in in the the Beauty and the resiliance of a human being and so it's it's amazing to watch gut cells in a Petri dish completely divorced from the organism in which they originated know how to build three-dimensional structures know how to reconnect to that original design and that that to me is a profound lesson in the depth of the grace of Nature and the mercy that she shares with us is that we are so resilient that we will we will heal even if reduced to a petri dish we will still access healing if given a little bit of opportunity to connect reconnect to the nature within us and around us yeah we are the life force Power of the universe indeed Yeah final thoughts grateful I I feel really grateful to all of you for joining the conversation and there's an opportunity for us to engage at a deep deep level together um I just finished a whole little Instagram live today with our Institute of natural law which is one of the nonprofits that I've been blessed to co-create in recent years and The Institute of natural law has really focused on how do we realign realign all human systems whether it be our own household activities or governments or whatever with natural law which is to say biologic you know processes of life and then natural law is is recognizing that we need to re move from Hope to manifestation we can no longer hope for future we we can't hope that we don't go extinct we have to create the reality where we don't go extinct and we and to create that reality we need engagement we need community at this Grassroots level so if you want to go to Institute of natural law and get involved there um we've got a whole Community platform there you want to get engaged at Farmers footprint get engaged with that large Global Community uh we have an incredible you know community and apps and all kinds of things there storytelling on all kinds of levels and then over journey of intrinsic Hill same thing uh very engaging Community weekly events to keep you engaged even if you're not taking the course work but just in the in the community and so lots lots of ways to stay engaged and start creating with us you know this this future that we know is possible because we can feel it we can feel it move to that state then it does exist yeah and I'll have all that information listed in the description box down below from the Instagram live to all the organizations so easy super easy for you to find Dr Zack Bush thank you so much for your time today thanks for the interview thanks for all you participating yeah thanks for watching bye now everyone I hope you enjoyed this video coming up next this is a good one or you might really like this one too either one of them could be perfect for you before you leave don't forget to subscribe [Music]
