Millions of people are suffering from multiple forms of degeneration, wide-spread ignorance about Mother Nature, and very few survival skills. The risk is we may not survive should anything disturb our modern and  fragile way of life. The tragedy is the loss of food traditions as well as natural tools and techniques for restoring health and a sense of well-being. These tools and traditions were based on an understanding of our connection to Mother Earth, knowing how to use real food, the willingness to engage in physical work or exercise, and regular fasting and detox to clean out the body.  People went to great lengths to find and collect the foods they needed to produce healthy babies and maintain full function right up to death.What did our ancestors know about food and health that we don't? Why is each generation suffering from degenerative diseases at earlier and earlier ages? What do we need to know to really heal ourselves? From the Soil to the Stomach offers an illuminating path to sustainable medicine."European missionaries carried the white man's diet around the world with them, becoming a potent wedge between people and the feeding traditions they had evolved over thousands of years. Everywhere they went, disruption of indigenous lives followed. People who depended on the continuation of their food tradition for maintenance of their high level of immunity were forced out of their sustaining routines, into schools and churches, and onto barren, dead soils. The result was confusion, disease, psychological malaise, and death everywhere the missionaries went.Today we have marketing departments.
