Book excerpt: In a world where millions of people are suffering from multiple forms of degenerative disease it is a tragedy that so few really understand the connection between the soil and the body's health. Most people have been raised on manufactured foods and are at least two generations removed from any kind of work with the soil. Before the Industrial Revolution, if people avoided infections and accidents, they often lived long, healthy lives and died peacefully in their sleep. What did our ancestors know about food and health that we do not? 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 look at these questions and outlines a path to sustainable medicine.
