The destruction of agriculture and health has a similar pattern

 

When we go to farmers and tell them about non pesticidal pest control methods they become alarmed. "We spray so much and so many pesticides and yet pests continue to increase. And you are telling us not to spray pesticides!".

We then tell them how pesticides affect the diversity of insects and pests, harm the ecology, affect soil fertility and also crop health and this is what causes the increase in pests. Once pesticides and chemical fertilizers are removed the balance is slowly restored and as the system heals pest attacks come down. After the farmer starts practicing he sees the results, and then becomes accustomed to the practice which changes his perception.

Here the key factors are;

• Soil fertility is the key to good agricultural produce
• Soil fertility depends on nutrients and presence of microbes and earthworms
• If soil fertility is disturbed disease symptoms manifest in crops
• Pests come to feed on diseased crop to clear the diseased portions
• The solution to disease is to improve soil fertility
• The Green Revolution made farmers forget traditional wisdom and adopt chemical fertilizer and pesticides
• These chemical inputs boosted production for a limited time but seriously affected soil fertility leading to increase in disease and fall in productivity
• The new age agricultural scientists recommended more chemical inputs as the solution instead of removing them and restoring soil fertility

Similarly sick people observe increase in illness even as they continue taking a host of medicines. They religiously take the medicines afraid that things would worsen if they don't. They lash out at holistic practitioners who promise drug less therapies that work by restoring the terrain. But many of them agree when they realize they have reached the point of no return.

Here too the same game plays out;

• Health depends on the terrain; the intrinsic state of the body
• The terrain needs nutrition and is dependent on microorganisms to process food and assimilate it
• When the terrain is disturbed there is waste accumulation and disease symptoms appear
• The disease symptoms are about macrophages (bacteria/ parasites) processing the waste and eliminating them
• The modern doctors blame the macrophages for the disease and advocate chemical drugs to kill them
• The body falls sick at a deeper level and more chemical drugs are recommended instead of rectifying and reestablishing the terrain

As people start depending on holistic systems they see overall improvement and then they take charge of their health based upon the wisdom gained. Germs and viruses take on the role of scavengers only when the balance is disturbed. One has to first remove the source of the imbalance to proceed towards a state of balance.

The entire thing is a vicious cycle. You subject yourselves to an untested commercial system - your body mind goes out of balance - you are encouraged to further aggravate the imbalance - you are addicted to drugs - you create further imbalance - you need more and more drugs - the system profits through it all, ignoring your suffering.
