Just as pests don’t attack healthy crops, disease doesn’t take hold in a human body that is nutritionally balanced. With one foot in the world of agriculture and the other in medicine, Dr. Arden Andersen is in a unique position to observe the connections between soil health, food nutrient density, and human health.

Dr. Andersen is a holistic family and occupational medicine physician in Gladstone, MO. Dr. Andersen possesses a unique understanding of the link between soil/ crop health and human health.  He works both as an integrative family doctor and a soil and crop consultant with clients and speaking engagements across the US, 8 countries and two languages.  Dr. Andersen has authored several books including Real Medicine-Real Health, Science In Agriculture, The Anatomy of Life and Energy In Agriculture, and Food Plague. He lectures around the world on the link between soil and human health, on public health issues and real preventive medicine.  He has firm grasp of the underlying causes of illness and disease, environmental health and the contribution to human and animal illness and disease, the link between soil/human health and climatic issues, pandemics and the underlying solutions needed to return harmony and health to all living systems.

This is a wonderful time to be alive…the equipment, products, and people that we have now that we didn’t have, even 30 years ago…we CAN have better quality food, and we do have the capability to completely reverse the problems on the planet today.

 

In this episode…
Dr. Andersen’s background and early influences connecting nutrition with health, from the soil to the doctor’s office
Nutrition in food is influenced not only by the condition of the soil, but also by the presence of toxins which interfere with our nutrition
With a higher nutritional balance of soil (and resulting food), the amount of environmental toxins present in the plants grown in those conditions decreases
Municipalities sell their “biosolids” to farmers, who are attracted by the cheap NPK source, and end up poisoning their farms and soils with pathogens, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, degrading the soil further
Electromagnetic qualities of plants and how that affects their nutrient uptake
If we can maintain an appropriate nutrient balance in the soil, paramagnetism helps to stimulate biological activity—beneficial bacteria and fungi—root growth, and overall health and vigor
Ancient paramagnetic limestone towers of Ireland
Sometimes the biggest issue isn’t on the farm, it’s between the ears
How to determine the nutrient density of produce
The only reason we have weeds, diseases, and insect problems is nutrient imbalance; likewise, the only reason humans have disease is lack of nutritional balance
