Lamborghini and our gut
A dumb drunken driver in control of a Lamborghini is a dangerous combination.
Our gut brain is the controller for our appetite.
A gut biome which send out hormones to make us crave sugars and fats is equally dangerous and has led to the modern epidemic of heart disease, strokes, diabetes, dementia etc.
If the Lamborghini crashes or we have a leg amputated from diabetes it is not the fault of the Lamborghini or the sugars and fats it is the fault of the control system which makes us crave sugary fatty food.
We evolved to have an effective control system.
We need a healthy gut biome which will send out the right hormones so we want to eat the right amount of the right sort of food and not crave sugary fatty foods which will make us fat and sick.
We can change our gut biome in about four weeks simply by diet and the results are obvious by the food we want to eat, peoples genes do vary but we can shift the odds of living a long and healthy life.
A healthy gut biome starts in the soil and the creatures that live in the soil, they enter the plants we eat and are fed by the fibre in the plants which are natural pre and pro biotics.
Microbes breed rapidly but also die rapidly so the plants need to be eaten shortly after harvesting.
This is well understood by thousands of home gardeners who breed the beneficial microbes in their soil and eat the plants shortly after picking- but this is only viable for a limited number of people.
There are eight billion people and they all need a healthy gut brain – how do we make this happen for all those people?
The Gbiota system was developed so all people can have access to plants growing in nutrient rich living soil full of beneficial microbes even if they live in an apartment with no garden, time or growing skills.
Experienced growers breed the microbes in organic waste to create Wickimix which they put into Gbiota Wicking boxes so people can have plants, ready to harvest, growing in their own home.
Gbiota – what is it all about
The last few years have seen an amazing improvement in our understanding of Gut biology. Gbiota is just short for Gut Biota.
Just read the medical literature and you will see many papers from leading medical researchers like Drs Tim Spector, Andrew Jenkinson, Will Bulsiewicz and many more.
They all tell us the same story, our gut and head brains work together to control our bodies which is now understood as critical to living a long and healthy life.
I am not directly involved in the massive area of research into gut biology, I just read the literature and see what they are saying. My interest is in practical solutions.
They all say the solution is to eat a wide variety of plants but just going to the supermarket and buying a bunch of vegetables is simply not enough. The beneficial biota come from the soil and creatures in the soils and our modern industrial chemical system are low in the critical biota even when just harvested but the critical issue is that the biota breed and die very fast so by the time the plants are actually eaten they are deficient in both living biota and key minerals.
This is where I come in, my interest is in how to grow plants which will enhance gut biology.
The most effective solution is to have people growing plants in biologically active nutrient rich soil in their own home so they can pick and eat.
If you are just looking for some magic pill to enhance your gut and are not interested in growing plants then this is not the web site for you. This web site is all about how to grow plants that will act as natural pre and pro biotics.
Gbiota wicking boxes enable people particularly those living in apartments to have plants growing at home which can be eaten while alive but this is only effective if the growing medium in the wicking boxes is teaming with the beneficial life and essential minerals.
The Gbiota system is a two stage process, experienced growers breed the beneficial microbes in organic waste in a balanced ecosystem so the beneficial microbes out compete and suppress the harmful biota which are always part of an ecosystem.
This generates the growing medium we call Wickimix which is placed directly into the Wicking boxes for their local community, either as a side hassle or a business.
There are many people who want to enhance their gut by eating plants that act as pre and pro biotics but you simply cannot do that in regular soil, you need a soil which is teaming with all sorts of creatures from the most minute viruses to the larger creatures like worms and larvae which have guts just like us and where the critical microbes we need can breed up. You really need Wickimix where all the creatures are happily breeding.
We really need local growers who can produce this Wickimix, this has to be a local operation so the Wickimix can be loaded straight from the Gbiota beds where the creatures are breeding and into the Wicking boxes.
If you have an interest in becoming a Wickimix grower please read the technical articles starting with the welcome message and contact me and we will see how we can help you set up as a Gbiota grower.
