Cutting Edge Research Shows: Human Health is about Connection, Communication and Community

To date, our blogs have not focused on health information, but recently our consensus training co-creator, Dr. Connie Stomper, encouraged me to listen to some podcasts with triple board certified Dr. Zach Bush. The fascinating research from his Biomic Science group shows that at the cellular level, health is reflected in many of the same precepts on which the Community Planet vision is based. Just as Community Planet focuses on consciousness and connection for the Highest Good Of All, it turns out that the same thing is happening within our bodies, where alienation and separation between our cells and the micro biome produces dis-ease and imbalance.

Most medical research has taken place in a sterile Petri dish, but the cutting edge research of Dr Zach Bush’s team is showing that human health is dependent on connections and communication between cells and on communication and cooperation with extra-cellular organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This human biome and our interconnectedness with it is a natural part of what keeps us healthy—with the more diversity, the better—and which is enhanced by our connection to and interaction with nature.   This sense of community and cooperation within the body is essential for optimal functioning.

It turns out that cancer cells are the loneliest cells—having lost their sense of being part of the whole—and thus proliferate to create a sense of connection.  This is a mirror of current society where the everyone-for-themselves paradigm has caused separation between (and even within) ourselves, thus resulting in the dis-eases in our economic, political, environmental, social and healthcare systems. Further, we have disconnected ourselves from nature and our food supply, and that outsourcing has resulted in toxic farming practices and chemicals contaminating our food and killing the microbiome on which we are dependent for our bodies’ healthy functioning.

The Community model envisioned by Community Planet incorporates this connection and cooperation with nature and other human beings.   It enhances our connection to nature by designing easy access to nature and through the growing of our own food in a sustainable way that maintains the nutritional value and medicinal properties of food. In contrast, outsourcing the growing of our food to Big Ag, disconnects us from that process and has allowed farming to take place in a rapacious way that kills the biome in the soil through the use of toxic chemicals such as glyphosate (the key chemical in Roundup and other plant killing chemicals) and other unproductive farming practices. This results in food that is nutritionally depleted and introduces toxins into our bodies (also through the air and water) that seriously compromise our ability to maintain health. See public health statistics that reflect this. * (see stats below)

The message, again, is that we need to realize and optimize our relationship to nature and to all things, and we need to transform into systems based on the Highest Good For All.

Please, for your health and the health of your loved ones, listen to the podcast we recommend below. The information could change your life.  We want you to stick around a long time and be in optimum health because each of our contributions are essential to transforming the way we live on this planet.

Disclaimer: Our intention is to share information, not to promote the specific product RESTORE, developed by Dr Bush and his researchers. That said, Connie, who has had some significant health challenges, is excited about the benefits she has experienced using the product for several months. There is interesting information in some the links below about how the utilization of the carbon redux signaling molecules in the product help to restore communication through the repairing of tight junctions and gap junctions, so that that body has the coherence to utilize its own inherent ability to heal itself.

Here is a link to the first podcast we recommend (you could skip the intro and go to 3 min):

Zach Bush MD on GMO’s, Glyphosate and Healing the Microbiome

This podcast is great for understanding how our food supply has lost its nutritional and medicinal content through unwise farming methods and toxic chemicals like glyphosate which disrupt the shikimate pathway in plants so that they can’t manufacture the essential amino acids—which humans can’t make. It also disrupts the tight junctions and gap junctions throughout the body, which leads to “leaking” or dis-regulation of what gets in or stays out of our bodies in the gut, brain barrier, blood vessels and kidneys. Thus, more toxins enter the body, the immune system can react creating inflammation and auto-immunity, and we also lose the ability to detox effectively.

* Public health statistics attest to this travesty.  Here are some examples

  • 1 in 36 autism (Before 1990 it was 4 in 10,000, and, at the current rate of increase, it could be 1 in 3 by 2035. There goes the future work force.)
  • 1 in 10 Asthma
  • 1 in 4 Allergies
  • 1 in 4 Diabetes
  • 1 in 3 Obesity
  • 1 in 2 Major Depression
  • 1 in 2 Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s skyrocketing in women
  • Parkinson’s skyrocketing in men
  • A dementia study of participants aged 18-95 found that by age 28, all the subjects showed signs of early dementia.
  • In 1965 4% of the total population had a chronic disease. As of 2015, 46% of just our children have chronic disease diagnosis.
