As I've written about
before when I talked about our experience with the GAPS protocol, we've known about a link between gut
health and mental
health for a long time, and it turns out that certain
soil based organisms play an important role here too:
Farmers are running out of options because the ozone - depleting chemical methyl bromide, long used to fumigate berry fields
before planting to fight pests, weeds and
soil - borne pathogens, is being phased out under international treaty and the manufacturer of a proposed replacement, methyl iodide, pulled its product from the United States last year amidst controversy about potential risks to the environment and public
health.
