Organic vs. Inorganic Debate

Organic vs. Inorganic Debate

 Simply put, plants can only “eat” INORGANIC and animals and humans can only eat ORGANIC. If you put organic material, eg. animal manure, mulch etc into the soil, the worms, soil microbes, bacteria and a plethora of other unpaid workers with the help of oxygen and water will break it down to inorganic nutrients so the tiny roots can carry them up to the plant and she will convert it back to organic in the form of fruit and vegetables etc. all ready for you to eat. Isn’t she clever.

However, there’s a catch. If the organic materials have only a few essential nutrients, like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium etc, the resulting crops may suffer from poor taste and nutritional value. That’s where modern innovation steps in. With advancements in genetic modification and manipulation, we can boost yields, enhance colour and shape, extend shelf life, pick our fruit green and gas ripen them. We can even grow crops resistant to herbicides too. With these wonderful innovative practices, we can feed most of the population, but what are our chances of a long healthy lifestyle.

 But let’s circle back to the heart of the matter—our health. Well, the popular solution is to take pills and potions for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. While conventional wisdom often leads us to a pharmacy aisle filled with pills and potions, ever wonder why some isolated communities enjoy long healthy virile lives without pills and medication? Ever wonder why bees harvesting from these plants are now decimated by varroa mite and hive beetle? Never heard of them 60 years ago. Think about it.

Dr Maynard Murray spent half his life studying the health of marine life and necropsy examinations found no instance of cancer, no hardening of arteries, and no arthritis in the ocean mammals and fish. The point here is that the ocean is rich in over 90 minerals in perfect balance and that is why we infuse seawater into our nutrients to give them over 50 essential minerals and elements required for good health. 

A note here about seawater:  Some radical soothsayers of health recommend ingesting seawater. Before you even think about that, go back and read the first paragraph and have a chat to your doctor.
