Money is a horrible abstraction of value that detaches people from nature. Digital money worsens it

Plants 'talk to' each other through their roots
Plants use their roots to “listen in” on their neighbours, according to research that adds to evidence that plants have their own unique forms of communication. The study found that plants in a crowded environment secrete chemicals into the soil that prompt their neighbours to grow more aggressively, presumably to avoid being left in the shade.

Herbal Therapy Is Equivalent to Rifaximin for the Treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
Conclusion: SIBO is widely prevalent in a tertiary referral gastroenterology practice. Herbal therapies are at least as effective as rifaximin for resolution of SIBO by LBT. Herbals also appear to be as effective as triple antibiotic therapy for SIBO rescue therapy for rifaximin non-responders. Further, prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and explore additional alternative therapies in patients with refractory SIBO.

Nature-based precision mindbody medicine will largely replace the pharmaceutical industry
During the past 200 years, countless ancient nature-based precision medicine knowledge traditions were "lost" (suppressed by the western pharmaceutical mafia and forgotten due to "modernization"). The Chinese probably did the best job at preserving their tradition (TCM), but many others got essentially wiped out (amazonian tribes etc.). There is a huge need & opportunity right now, to pull all these pieces back together and make it actionable for our generation. Just in time, as the pharmaceutical mafia is once again trying to murder and control all life on earth.
Related: Up until 100y ago, a primary component of animal feed was Cannabis. Cows, Pigs, etc. would eat hemp (fast growing & cheap), and humans would eat the animals - hence closing a loop that was highly beneficial for the animal/human microbiome and ecosystems. This cycle got disrupted in the 20st century by industrial agriculture, coinciding with the emergence of many new diseases.

"Fools hurry. The intelligent wait. The wise go into the garden." - Tagore
Rest assured that all truly powerful beings on this planet do not reside in offices, palaces or bunkers - but quietly practice their work from gardens, farms, forests & other natural settings. They are neither famous nor searchable, but amazingly humble and impactful. Treat all beggars like kings, acknowledging that within infinity you are everything and everything is nothing.
