Awesome post Gavin and great to see all the plants that are our healers. Good work. And absolutely no words about what happened in Ohio, heart breaking.
Have you seen this from Jessica Rose? Chemical train "poised" near CA agricultural land ...
"Miles of train cars full of flammable liquids just happen to be ‘poised’ inside the heartland of one of America’s biggest sources of nuts (almonds, walnuts) and there’s also lots of cattle and pristine ranch land there.
Those orchards and that land need a water supply. Destroy the water supply → destroy the trees and the supply of food and the ranches.
The woman in this video says there are hundreds of cars and that the say liquid odorless petroleum gas on the cars that are sitting really low on their axles. She also said that the locals said that the train’s presence is unprecedented. Locals know. That does imply that they are full.
Now in light of the fact that there have many unexplained train derailments of late comprising some of the worst environmental catastrophes of our time (regardless of what the ‘legacy media’ is spitting and regardless of the fact that your esteemed leader decided Ukraine was more important than Ohio so took off to sit in golden chairs with their esteemed sniffle-uffugus), it kind of makes a thinking being wonder, what in the hell are they planning?

I may have shared this too soon - I really don't know. There's another comment that should be shared for context. I don't know whose assumptions here are correct, or if better to err on side of caution, or on side of assuming benign explanation when there are more, and worse, incidents than usual, and the only reliable sources of info are honest people trying to figure stuff out.

Excellent work. I am going to put a summary of this on my own substack, pointing them to you, and adding my own comments (e.g., sprouting broccoli seeds for the sulphoraphane is cheap and easy; buying sprouts at the store a far more expensive)
Are you aware of a GiveSendGo site? If not we need to get one going!
Thanks Blaise :) I love broccoli sprouts! One trick I like to use if I am buying the seeds for sprouting is getting organic mustard seed from the bulk spice section and then using a diluted apple cider vinegar solution to clean/rinse and then sprout them.
Mustard sprouts/greens are in the same family (Brassicaceae) as Broccoli so they provide many of the same nutrients and beneficial compounds ( https://versus.com/en/broccoli-vs-mustard-greens ) but they are so much cheaper! In the context of the garden and full on 'sprout sovereignty' (or self-sufficiency) I like to let a few of our red russian kale plants go to seed and self sow (creating a huge patch of plants the following year, which produce tens of thousands of seeds). I collect the seed pods after they are mature, dry them, and then put them in a pillow case and hit with a stick a few times. All the seeds fall to the bottom and are easy to scoop out and I get like 1 liter of seeds for sprouting in the winter. Here is a pic of one of our self sown kale patches in our garden in full flower https://archive.org/details/selfsowingkale
I am not aware of a Give Send Go site for the Ohio situation, but I would be concerned about using that platform after what happened with the Ottawa Freedom Convoy donations https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/ep413-givesendgone:8
Cool. I just put your wonderful work out to everyone I know, then put a bit of a summary in my own, adding a bit. Maybe you can pick out some details for use - feel free to do so. It's at Att Viska (Swedish for to whisper, be quiet).
It is staggering that the fake news is still basically trying to figure out if they want to even report this, while substackers already have this well in hand, along with Redacted News and Rebel News in Canada. Quod erat demonstrandum re. fake news, eh!
I thought GiveSendGo was "clean," rather it was the other one that was corrupt. Can't think of the name right now. I'm actually a US and Canadian citizen, currently in the People's Socialist Republik of Venezeullinois, but lived in Ottawa for a LONG time, and know every inch of where the protest is. We sent $500, and got another $700 to help expenses, and I did a bit for AmericaOutLoud on it. We are pretty connected in Canada - my wife's cousin was Trudeau's nanny (he is more corrupt than you can imagine!), we were close friends back in the day with his health minister, who left over his corruption, I've met former PMs Chretiean and Mulroney, and we knew the top unelected civil official in the country very well. So, we follow this assiduously, and are VERY concerned about friends in up the 401 east of Toronto, where we have a lot of family, and Ottawa and Montreal, where we also have a lot of friends (though I am originally a BC and Alberta boy).
You did an EXCELLENT job, and I am pointing everyone to your site. Great work!!!
Good call, yes most mass produced alcohol is made from grains/fruit that are sprayed with glyphosate. I like to make my own mead using local organic honey to avoid that. Drinking large amounts of alcohol is certainly detrimental to one's health but I think that if it is something like an unfiltered sour beer, red wine or mead made using organic/homegrown ingredients and one enjoys in moderation, it can provide meaningful nutrients while not damaging one's organs. I share my basic recipe for mead here https://archive.org/details/47051023-300007750847640-6402891142697844736-n-1/47192921_300004317514650_4223459719768965120_n%20%281%29.jpg
:) They end up pruning off 70% or more of last year's growth in the winter anyways, so if they haven't already, I would say there is no harm in taking some cuttings from longer vines.
I like to make wine with our elderberry harvests as they have even higher levels of antioxidants than grapes and require less maintenance to get a good harvest.
In Canada. We have wild grapes growing all over the place. They have a lovely sweet and sour taste but they're really seedy. Of course they grow well here.
Wondering if I cultivate them I might make them plump up and contribute some interesting wine making juice.
I am in southern Ontario and I often enjoy snacking on the wild grapes at my day job (landscape design and installation). Well, you may be able to get the grapes to produce reliably more juicy berries via irrigation but I think the acidity would remain high as that is a genetic characteristic of the grapes. Do you have a refractometer? Making sure the BRIX (sugar) levels are high enough to be capable of initiating a good fermentation would be important and I am no sure what BRIX levels wild grapes produce.
So In short, I love the idea but you might wanna do a small test batch before you commit to cultivating them in the hopes they will make great wine. Though even if those grapes did not make great wine, they certainly are nutritious and packed full of antioxidants so would be good for jellies and snacking. :)
I got first prize in the county fair for my wild raspberry jelly. Only thing I ever entered in the fair. I have nowhere to go but down. Ever pick wild raspberries? Horrible job, I got the kids to do it.
As you say, as a fallback they would make great jelly. Or maybe not. Sugar, that's a problem. I quit making strawberry jam because, sooo much sugar. If you don't put the sugar in you're better off just eating the strawberries. If you do put the sugar it it's poison, and oooh sooo good.
I would like grape vines for aesthetic reasons. Nice trellis with grapes, like a backyard in Little Italy.
I'll put that idea away for now. Thanks for your insight.
Gavin, hi! Gavin, you actually pretty much have it covered in the post ! lol. (The bitter herbals (dandelion, andrographis, wormwood, japanese knotweed, etc.,), sea greens-- seaweed products, modifilan, chlorella, activated charcoal, apple pectin / colon cleanse powders, zeolites, humic+fulvic, honeysuckle, betel nut, potassium iodide, nebulizing lugol's iodine and hydrogen peroxide and HOCL, Global healing Supercharged C60, antifungal herbals (example-- olive leaf, goldenseal, ginger, horseradish, sulphur-rich like onions/leeks/garlic,etc), The young living "THIEVES" type oil blends, Geranium, fresh pineapple, Borax, detox baths (1 cup baking soda, 1 cup sea salt, 2 cups borax). As a general guideline-- all protocols and products that are advised for Morgellons and for Lyme. Also possibly colloidal gold, and homeopathic aurum metallicum and colloidal zinc. Also EMF frequency modulation is helpful -- Carrie Madej likes the emfsol products for harmonization (for turning the frequencies broadcast on us into non-harmful). Gavin, I'm still experimenting with all these things myself, so it's all trying things out, is where I'm at. And i think prayer is important if you believe in God. Because the technology is truly such exotic-transhumanism cyborgization-demon-tech, that ultimately, I think divine help would be needed to truly clear "nano-scourge" from an individual's system, due to the transgenic mutagenesis of DNA / genes / cells that takes place. A person literally gets "mutant-ed" like the DNA of the fictional "mutants" (Teen Wolf, Spiderman, comic mutants, etc.,). Also, good old fashioned impeccable hygiene (home and body, internally and externally). God-connection / healthy positive energy spiritual life / spiritual condition for high bright vibration. Also chelators (oral / rectal / transdermal / I.V.) and sunbathing and near infrared sauna. The one thing I'm confused about / not knowledgeable on, is how to balance oxygen-based therapies w/ the benefits of taking anti-oxidants. Because my impression is, that some of the nanomaterials are broken-down when exposed to oxygenation / halogen-based substances (such as borax, baking soda, etc) via oxygenating your body. Yet, on the flip side, simultaneously, your body needs a constant flood of anti-oxidants in order to mitigate the oxidative-stress damage to the cells that's caused by the by-products of the un-natural and toxic nanotechnology processes that occur in vivo to the cells. So that i'm not sure of how to balance, the right way to juggle those two opposite therapies.
I`ll contemplate the roles of anti-oxidants and oxygenation based treatments and get back to you on that. I am not 100% on this, but from what I know so far, I get the sense that those two things operate on a different level (one being cellular the other being molecular) so even though the words sound like they are opposites they may actually be able to serve complimentary roles.
Thanks for another informative article, Gavin. Unfortunately, there are a number of people I personally know that haven't even heard of glyphosate. I assume they are "educated" by mainstream media or social media. I appreciate you pointing out that often something designated as organic is misleading. Corruption is so widespread, and for enough $$$ most people are for sale. That's why it's imperative to grow your own vegetables using organic practices. I doubt its possible to truly eat clean. I do take Gut Restore by ION, and hope it's helping my body to rid itself of some of the many poisons that I'm sure I've consumed over the years.
The poor people in Ohio are being misled by the government. In the future there will most certainly be tv ads for class action lawsuits. Too little, too late.
Hey Nancy! Yes, the propaganda campaigns launched by the corporations behind that chemical (and the governments that profit from it) have been very effective. I used to work in the viticulture industry out west and did contracts (picking grapes and pruning vines by the acre) for some vineyards managed by people that meant well but unfortunately they used copious amounts of glyphosate in their vineyards (believing the lies they were told about it being benign). That chemical ends up in most non-organic wine in pretty high concentrations.
I completely agree it is important for each of us to grow some food and medicine at home. Even if it is just a little bit to start, every bit counts and people can grow more than they realize even in an apartment situation. Growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms is a great way to produce nutrient dense food and medicine with limited or no outside growing space. I like to grow oyster mushrooms on free material I get from our local saw mill, organic farms and cafes (such as sawdust, straw or coffee grounds). It saves me money and after I grow the mushrooms the substrate (the material that the fungal mycelium has digested to produce the edible mushrooms) is a great material for adding to my compost bin for building soil in my outside garden.
I am glad you are taking Zack Bush's Restore (Ion Gut Health) product, I have heard good things. The humic and fulvic acids I mentioned in my post above are a main component of that product and they help support the gut microbiome in very meaningful ways. Those substances are essentially medicine directly produced by the living Earth and are actually the compounds that are responsible for that nourishing smell of dark forest soil. It is so great that Zach Bush is helping people to connect with Mother Earth in that way through bridging her medicine to them in a scientifically verified and quantified format, he is building on the traditional knowing of the medicinal practices of indigenous peoples (and doing so in a way that gives back to the Earth through his "Farmer's Footprint" initiative).
Gavin, thanks for another amazingly comprehensive article! I love that you offered so many food-based suggestions. I much prefer food to supplements, and so does my body!
Hello my friend! :) I am glad you noticed and appreciate my focus on whole foods. I think that many people lean too heavily on supplements (which aside from containing less bioavailable formats of the medicinal compounds and thus being less efficacious when compared to whole food sources of the same compounds) are dependent on flimsy agricultural, manufacturing and supply line infrastructures and so may not be able to be relied on in the future.
Hi Gavin! Yes! I was virtually high-fiving you for that because most of the solutions I've seen floating out there are mainlysupplements. Every time I cave and buy a supplement, it usually sits there staring at me. My body just says, "no." So many of the big supplement companies are owned by Big Pharma anyway, and I prefer the whole wise plant in food form rather than an extract in a capsule. I do make an exception and take Triphala from Banyan Botanicals. :) But at least that's three whole fruits in powdered form. Mother Nature knows best. 💚
I am the same way with supplements. One way I have managed to become more self-reliant and able to know for certain the quality of the 'supplements' I am taking is that I make some myself at home using my freeze dryer. The machine is not cheap, and I had to save up for a while, but it allows me to preserve foraged and homegrown medicines and superfoods at peak potency (preserving them for many years at peak nutrient levels) and then I can powderize and put into capsules for convenience if that is easier for myself and my wife. There may come a time when the power grid is taken down and at that point the machine would be useless, but we have already preserved enough seasonal harvests with it that it has paid for itself many times over (and the value of those preserved crops and medicines would only increase in value exponentially if r when major infrastructures implode or are targeted and crippled).
I do agree that Mother Nature knows best (which means that raw/fresh and/or fermented foods are more nourishing and medicinal than freeze dried any day) so I take steps to focus on those foods as much as I can (while also taking steps to be prepared for situations where I may not have access to ideal food/medicine types).
That's amazing, Gavin! and sounds like you're prepared from all angles. I can't wait till your book comes out. It will be great to have all of your information in one place, especially if the internet crashes. No pressure! :) xo
Thanks :) Though, there are still a few areas I do not have covered comprehensively, but I have enough low tech multi-purpose tools, knowledge and wilderness experience to be able to improvise and provide for myself and my wife in most situations should the need arise. I hope to synthesize much of those skills, techniques and perspectives (related to emergency preparedness) in a future publication (assuming I am still able to publish books then).
Yes, the thought of the impermanence of the internet (or at least the temporary nature of many people's ability to access it) and perhaps even the impermanence of having access to computers of any kind (if something like this happens https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/preparing-for-the-100-year-storms ) has been on my mind as I work to get the hard copies of my book printed and distributed. It is a balancing act, as my grammar sucks and I want the book to read easily (so i`ve been going over it doing edits like 5 times) but I want to get it out ASAP as well. Hopefully the ebook will be out in the next month or so then off to the presses for hardcopies soon after.
Chaga is an amazing medicinal mushroom for sure. It has ancient roots in the traditional medicinal practices of many cultures for good reason. The antioxidant content of the Chaga 'mushroom' is off the charts and they also contain a wide range of other beneficial compounds that optimize the immune system, brain health, cardiovascular health and DNA repair (among other things).
I like to make extra strong Chaga tea in our slow cooker by steeping the fruit bodies ('mushrooms') on low setting for 16-24 hours. Aside form sipping on the extra strong tea, I like to freeze some of the tea in ice cube trays for later use, freeze dry some (to powderize for extra long term shelf stable storage) and then I also use some of the tea in my fermented preserves. I have tried using it to make a few different lacto-ferments where I am used the strong Chaga tea (with a few drops of raw honey) as the liquid for making salt brine to wild ferment veggies/herbs/spices in. That process serves to not only add some complex smokey flavors to the produce being fermented but also adds medicinal antioxidant/beta-glucan goodness into the mix and also extends the shelf life of the chaga tea through wild fermentation at the same time. This is made possible via shifting the PH via acidification and making the medicinal compounds more bioavailable through the LAB metabolizing the tea/ chaga powder.
So far I have made "Chaga Chi" (chaga tea and chaga mushroom powder infused purple kimchi), Grainy Chaga Infused Fermented Dijon Mustard and Chaga Infused Wild Fermented Raw Chipotle Sauce.
I will upload some pics from those experimental recipes to archive dot org so I can share here later.
Once thing I would like to suggest when buying Chaga mushrooms (or Chaga extracts) is to ensure that the company harvesting the mushrooms is doing so in a way that respects the forest (as Chaga mushrooms grow exclusively on older Birch trees and some companies decimate the populations of both the trees and the fungi through over harvesting).
Thanks for the comment and introducing me to Clif High.
I have so many Birch trees growing in the woods behind me, but I haven't seen any YET! I either get the Chaga from The New Hampshire Mushroom Company which is just down the road from me, and they come to our farmer's market. How lucky am I? I get the Chaga/Dandelion blend from Woodland Essence in Upstate NY. I think she also sells just Chaga. Kate is wonderful.
Also, FYI, I used her Chaga Creme on some skin cancer on my face a few years back, and it disappeared and never returned. But, don't tell Big Pharma I said that! :)
(That particular picture is a close up of the Chaga infused Wild Fermented Chipotle Sauce, if you scroll down the pic linked above below I provide info and supporting research)
Brilliant to finally see more in-depth information on the impacts and pernicious effects of glysophate.
Interestingly to note, that yes it is in the air and waterways, which is why it's shows up in the blood of 98% of people. But more interestingly, it was originally patented as a antimicrobial, antibiotic, not a pesticide. Keeping that in mind, it attacks the very microbes in the soil, that help us to detox dangerous chemicals AND the microbes that we need to be able to create the endogenous antioxidant pathways.☹
We could in likelihood deal with a dioxin dump, if the soil, our own terrain was not already compromised from glysophate. My concern is it will be a hard ask for most to detox both!
Thanks also for including reference to Jennifer Depew's work- she does brilliant work and doesnt get enough attention in my humble opinion.🙏🤗
I appreciate you elucidating on how pervasive glyphosate has become in the environment (I touched on that in my previous post about Transgenic AG but I think emphasizing that point here is important as well.)
Yes, it was designed to attack the very foundation of life, the microbiome. And considering our human bodies are more of a community of life (rather than a that which could be described as a singular organism) as our bodies are composed of ten times as many bacterium then cells that contain our own unique DNA, being exposed to antimicrobial and antibiotic compounds on the scale we are has some very grave consequences indeed. Thankfully, despite the insane choices of a few humans, Mother Earth has our back and if we band together and choose to take action, we can heal our bodies and the body of the Earth by teaming up with our elder species in the bacteria and fungi kingdoms :)
I share your concerns about the compounding damage of multiple toxins but I have faith that if we align our actions with the regenerative capacity of the Earth in each of our communities, that which is life affirming, symbiotic and grounded in love will prevail.
I agree Jennifer's work is underrated and I appreciate how she lists some foods where people can get the nutrients she is talking about (as to facilitate increasing localized food and health sovereignty rather than just encouraging people to by supplements from far away places).
Since dioxin is fat-soluble, certain fats in the diet can help with chelation, such as grassfed clarified butter. I make it at home, super easy. Just simmer butter until it foams, keep simmering for 20 minutes, then strain through a cheesecloth. Shelf-stable forever.
FYI: In one study with 88 subjects, 48 of them underwent a 7-day detox of ingesting ghee (clarified butter) while on a no fat, meat or dairy diet. The researchers measured 9 different environmental PCB dioxin toxins and 8 pesticide toxins.
Since healthy fats can be so beneficial in this context this made me think about how a specific Ethiopian recipe we like to use in our kitchen could perhaps provide even more synergistic detox benefits than Ghee alone. It is called Niter Kibbeh (ንጥር ቅቤ in Amharic) and it is traditionally made with ghee (though we like to use coconut oil instead as we do not have a source for butter produced by regeneratively raised cows where we live). It is a recipe that infuses Turmeric, Onion and Ginger (among other things) into the fat. The compounds in those ingredients would add an additional antioxidant kick to the healthy fat Chelation effect and provide the mitochondria with supporting compounds to aid in DNA protection and repair at the same time. I uploaded the recipe to archive dot org so I could share it with you and anyone else reading this incase you would like to try making it for yourself.
You are most welcome :) My book contains recipes with roots in over 20 cultures but I included quite a few Ethiopian recipes as we grow a lot of ginger, turmeric, hot peppers and Egyptian onions in our garden and Ethiopian food is a fun and healthy way to combine those in medicinally synergistic ways (while also allowing us to explore the unique) gifts offered to us by a far away culture with our senses.
Please let me know how making your own Niter Kibbeh goes for you.
If you have not made Ethiopian recipes before here is a link to another screenshot from my book that lists a variety of recipes that incorporate Niter Kibbeh (ንጥር ቅቤ) for some inspiration.
Also, If you like sourdough rye bread I imagine you will love the traditional Ethiopian flat bread that is served along side every meal as it is a wild fermented dark sourdough flat bread. Here is the recipe for if you wanna make some to go with your Niter Kibbeh :) https://archive.org/details/screenshot-1163
Good to know the brand...thanks for sharing Barbara. fyi Kerry Gold isn't too expensive b/c it's sold with the other (non-organic) butters sometimes. But it's still technically from grassfed cows in Ireland, which means it has DHA in it.
I love Kerry Gold butter, but I try to buy more locally when I can. I didn't know they make ghee. I've never seen it here.
Funny, I used to be able to get grass-fed raw butter when I lived in the city, so I would make my own ghee. Now that I'm in the country, I can get raw milk, kefir, and yogurt at the farmer's market but not raw butter. Not sure what country you're in - I'm in the USA - but a chunk of my heart is in Ireland and Scotland. :)

It is staggering that the fake news is still basically trying to figure out if they want to even report this, while substackers already have this well in hand, along with Redacted News and Rebel News in Canada. Quod erat demonstrandum re. fake news, eh!
I thought GiveSendGo was "clean," rather it was the other one that was corrupt. Can't think of the name right now. I'm actually a US and Canadian citizen, currently in the People's Socialist Republik of Venezeullinois, but lived in Ottawa for a LONG time, and know every inch of where the protest is. We sent $500, and got another $700 to help expenses, and I did a bit for AmericaOutLoud on it. We are pretty connected in Canada - my wife's cousin was Trudeau's nanny (he is more corrupt than you can imagine!), we were close friends back in the day with his health minister, who left over his corruption, I've met former PMs Chretiean and Mulroney, and we knew the top unelected civil official in the country very well. So, we follow this assiduously, and are VERY concerned about friends in up the 401 east of Toronto, where we have a lot of family, and Ottawa and Montreal, where we also have a lot of friends (though I am originally a BC and Alberta boy).
You did an EXCELLENT job, and I am pointing everyone to your site. Great work!!!
Thank you! xo
Pleaae Go Read Texas Lindsay Substack she just posted as URGENT!!!

Quit drinking beer about 5 years ago. I became allergic to it.
I've discovered since then that beer has a lot of Glyphosate in it.
I have made beer, very good beer, but even doing that you have no guarantee of the ingredients.
Better off not drinking anyway.
Good call, yes most mass produced alcohol is made from grains/fruit that are sprayed with glyphosate. I like to make my own mead using local organic honey to avoid that. Drinking large amounts of alcohol is certainly detrimental to one's health but I think that if it is something like an unfiltered sour beer, red wine or mead made using organic/homegrown ingredients and one enjoys in moderation, it can provide meaningful nutrients while not damaging one's organs. I share my basic recipe for mead here https://archive.org/details/47051023-300007750847640-6402891142697844736-n-1/47192921_300004317514650_4223459719768965120_n%20%281%29.jpg
Thanks for the comment John
I should grow grapes. Lots of vinyards around, I'm sure they wouldn't miss a few cuttings.
:) They end up pruning off 70% or more of last year's growth in the winter anyways, so if they haven't already, I would say there is no harm in taking some cuttings from longer vines.
I like to make wine with our elderberry harvests as they have even higher levels of antioxidants than grapes and require less maintenance to get a good harvest.
In Canada. We have wild grapes growing all over the place. They have a lovely sweet and sour taste but they're really seedy. Of course they grow well here.
Wondering if I cultivate them I might make them plump up and contribute some interesting wine making juice.
What do you think?
I am in southern Ontario and I often enjoy snacking on the wild grapes at my day job (landscape design and installation). Well, you may be able to get the grapes to produce reliably more juicy berries via irrigation but I think the acidity would remain high as that is a genetic characteristic of the grapes. Do you have a refractometer? Making sure the BRIX (sugar) levels are high enough to be capable of initiating a good fermentation would be important and I am no sure what BRIX levels wild grapes produce.
So In short, I love the idea but you might wanna do a small test batch before you commit to cultivating them in the hopes they will make great wine. Though even if those grapes did not make great wine, they certainly are nutritious and packed full of antioxidants so would be good for jellies and snacking. :)
I got first prize in the county fair for my wild raspberry jelly. Only thing I ever entered in the fair. I have nowhere to go but down. Ever pick wild raspberries? Horrible job, I got the kids to do it.
As you say, as a fallback they would make great jelly. Or maybe not. Sugar, that's a problem. I quit making strawberry jam because, sooo much sugar. If you don't put the sugar in you're better off just eating the strawberries. If you do put the sugar it it's poison, and oooh sooo good.
I would like grape vines for aesthetic reasons. Nice trellis with grapes, like a backyard in Little Italy.
I'll put that idea away for now. Thanks for your insight.
Its interesting that it's mostly all the same substances as for mitigating the synbionanotechnology and Covid scenario. Great post / info!
I also find that to be interesting. Could you elaborate on the substances that are good for "synbionanotechnology and Covid scenario"?
Thanks for the comment.
Gavin, hi! Gavin, you actually pretty much have it covered in the post ! lol. (The bitter herbals (dandelion, andrographis, wormwood, japanese knotweed, etc.,), sea greens-- seaweed products, modifilan, chlorella, activated charcoal, apple pectin / colon cleanse powders, zeolites, humic+fulvic, honeysuckle, betel nut, potassium iodide, nebulizing lugol's iodine and hydrogen peroxide and HOCL, Global healing Supercharged C60, antifungal herbals (example-- olive leaf, goldenseal, ginger, horseradish, sulphur-rich like onions/leeks/garlic,etc), The young living "THIEVES" type oil blends, Geranium, fresh pineapple, Borax, detox baths (1 cup baking soda, 1 cup sea salt, 2 cups borax). As a general guideline-- all protocols and products that are advised for Morgellons and for Lyme. Also possibly colloidal gold, and homeopathic aurum metallicum and colloidal zinc. Also EMF frequency modulation is helpful -- Carrie Madej likes the emfsol products for harmonization (for turning the frequencies broadcast on us into non-harmful). Gavin, I'm still experimenting with all these things myself, so it's all trying things out, is where I'm at. And i think prayer is important if you believe in God. Because the technology is truly such exotic-transhumanism cyborgization-demon-tech, that ultimately, I think divine help would be needed to truly clear "nano-scourge" from an individual's system, due to the transgenic mutagenesis of DNA / genes / cells that takes place. A person literally gets "mutant-ed" like the DNA of the fictional "mutants" (Teen Wolf, Spiderman, comic mutants, etc.,). Also, good old fashioned impeccable hygiene (home and body, internally and externally). God-connection / healthy positive energy spiritual life / spiritual condition for high bright vibration. Also chelators (oral / rectal / transdermal / I.V.) and sunbathing and near infrared sauna. The one thing I'm confused about / not knowledgeable on, is how to balance oxygen-based therapies w/ the benefits of taking anti-oxidants. Because my impression is, that some of the nanomaterials are broken-down when exposed to oxygenation / halogen-based substances (such as borax, baking soda, etc) via oxygenating your body. Yet, on the flip side, simultaneously, your body needs a constant flood of anti-oxidants in order to mitigate the oxidative-stress damage to the cells that's caused by the by-products of the un-natural and toxic nanotechnology processes that occur in vivo to the cells. So that i'm not sure of how to balance, the right way to juggle those two opposite therapies.
Thank you very much for all the info. I will sort through more carefully when I have time.
I agree prayer is important. I elaborate on my own path to know God and develop a knowing of the spiritual realm in this article:
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/spiritual-autodidacticism
I`ll contemplate the roles of anti-oxidants and oxygenation based treatments and get back to you on that. I am not 100% on this, but from what I know so far, I get the sense that those two things operate on a different level (one being cellular the other being molecular) so even though the words sound like they are opposites they may actually be able to serve complimentary roles.
Great point.
Thanks for another informative article, Gavin. Unfortunately, there are a number of people I personally know that haven't even heard of glyphosate. I assume they are "educated" by mainstream media or social media. I appreciate you pointing out that often something designated as organic is misleading. Corruption is so widespread, and for enough $$$ most people are for sale. That's why it's imperative to grow your own vegetables using organic practices. I doubt its possible to truly eat clean. I do take Gut Restore by ION, and hope it's helping my body to rid itself of some of the many poisons that I'm sure I've consumed over the years.
The poor people in Ohio are being misled by the government. In the future there will most certainly be tv ads for class action lawsuits. Too little, too late.
Hey Nancy! Yes, the propaganda campaigns launched by the corporations behind that chemical (and the governments that profit from it) have been very effective. I used to work in the viticulture industry out west and did contracts (picking grapes and pruning vines by the acre) for some vineyards managed by people that meant well but unfortunately they used copious amounts of glyphosate in their vineyards (believing the lies they were told about it being benign). That chemical ends up in most non-organic wine in pretty high concentrations.
I completely agree it is important for each of us to grow some food and medicine at home. Even if it is just a little bit to start, every bit counts and people can grow more than they realize even in an apartment situation. Growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms is a great way to produce nutrient dense food and medicine with limited or no outside growing space. I like to grow oyster mushrooms on free material I get from our local saw mill, organic farms and cafes (such as sawdust, straw or coffee grounds). It saves me money and after I grow the mushrooms the substrate (the material that the fungal mycelium has digested to produce the edible mushrooms) is a great material for adding to my compost bin for building soil in my outside garden.
I am glad you are taking Zack Bush's Restore (Ion Gut Health) product, I have heard good things. The humic and fulvic acids I mentioned in my post above are a main component of that product and they help support the gut microbiome in very meaningful ways. Those substances are essentially medicine directly produced by the living Earth and are actually the compounds that are responsible for that nourishing smell of dark forest soil. It is so great that Zach Bush is helping people to connect with Mother Earth in that way through bridging her medicine to them in a scientifically verified and quantified format, he is building on the traditional knowing of the medicinal practices of indigenous peoples (and doing so in a way that gives back to the Earth through his "Farmer's Footprint" initiative).
Thanks for the comment! :)
Gavin, thanks for another amazingly comprehensive article! I love that you offered so many food-based suggestions. I much prefer food to supplements, and so does my body!
And thank you for including my post! xo
Hello my friend! :) I am glad you noticed and appreciate my focus on whole foods. I think that many people lean too heavily on supplements (which aside from containing less bioavailable formats of the medicinal compounds and thus being less efficacious when compared to whole food sources of the same compounds) are dependent on flimsy agricultural, manufacturing and supply line infrastructures and so may not be able to be relied on in the future.
You are most welcome, thanks for the comment :)
Hi Gavin! Yes! I was virtually high-fiving you for that because most of the solutions I've seen floating out there are mainlysupplements. Every time I cave and buy a supplement, it usually sits there staring at me. My body just says, "no." So many of the big supplement companies are owned by Big Pharma anyway, and I prefer the whole wise plant in food form rather than an extract in a capsule. I do make an exception and take Triphala from Banyan Botanicals. :) But at least that's three whole fruits in powdered form. Mother Nature knows best. 💚
I am the same way with supplements. One way I have managed to become more self-reliant and able to know for certain the quality of the 'supplements' I am taking is that I make some myself at home using my freeze dryer. The machine is not cheap, and I had to save up for a while, but it allows me to preserve foraged and homegrown medicines and superfoods at peak potency (preserving them for many years at peak nutrient levels) and then I can powderize and put into capsules for convenience if that is easier for myself and my wife. There may come a time when the power grid is taken down and at that point the machine would be useless, but we have already preserved enough seasonal harvests with it that it has paid for itself many times over (and the value of those preserved crops and medicines would only increase in value exponentially if r when major infrastructures implode or are targeted and crippled).
I do agree that Mother Nature knows best (which means that raw/fresh and/or fermented foods are more nourishing and medicinal than freeze dried any day) so I take steps to focus on those foods as much as I can (while also taking steps to be prepared for situations where I may not have access to ideal food/medicine types).
That's amazing, Gavin! and sounds like you're prepared from all angles. I can't wait till your book comes out. It will be great to have all of your information in one place, especially if the internet crashes. No pressure! :) xo
Thanks :) Though, there are still a few areas I do not have covered comprehensively, but I have enough low tech multi-purpose tools, knowledge and wilderness experience to be able to improvise and provide for myself and my wife in most situations should the need arise. I hope to synthesize much of those skills, techniques and perspectives (related to emergency preparedness) in a future publication (assuming I am still able to publish books then).
Yes, the thought of the impermanence of the internet (or at least the temporary nature of many people's ability to access it) and perhaps even the impermanence of having access to computers of any kind (if something like this happens https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/preparing-for-the-100-year-storms ) has been on my mind as I work to get the hard copies of my book printed and distributed. It is a balancing act, as my grammar sucks and I want the book to read easily (so i`ve been going over it doing edits like 5 times) but I want to get it out ASAP as well. Hopefully the ebook will be out in the next month or so then off to the presses for hardcopies soon after.
Looking forward to having my hard copy! Then, if the internet goes down, I can light a fire in my wood stove and read your book. :)
I was just thinking how wonderful and amazing it is that my body is attracted to the very foods it needs to heal.
I haven't read your piece but will, I am moving slowly. ❤️
I was reading about Chaga..( Mushroom) tea, powder, tincture or capsules. Clif High on substack . Lots if info.
Chaga is an amazing medicinal mushroom for sure. It has ancient roots in the traditional medicinal practices of many cultures for good reason. The antioxidant content of the Chaga 'mushroom' is off the charts and they also contain a wide range of other beneficial compounds that optimize the immune system, brain health, cardiovascular health and DNA repair (among other things).
I like to make extra strong Chaga tea in our slow cooker by steeping the fruit bodies ('mushrooms') on low setting for 16-24 hours. Aside form sipping on the extra strong tea, I like to freeze some of the tea in ice cube trays for later use, freeze dry some (to powderize for extra long term shelf stable storage) and then I also use some of the tea in my fermented preserves. I have tried using it to make a few different lacto-ferments where I am used the strong Chaga tea (with a few drops of raw honey) as the liquid for making salt brine to wild ferment veggies/herbs/spices in. That process serves to not only add some complex smokey flavors to the produce being fermented but also adds medicinal antioxidant/beta-glucan goodness into the mix and also extends the shelf life of the chaga tea through wild fermentation at the same time. This is made possible via shifting the PH via acidification and making the medicinal compounds more bioavailable through the LAB metabolizing the tea/ chaga powder.
So far I have made "Chaga Chi" (chaga tea and chaga mushroom powder infused purple kimchi), Grainy Chaga Infused Fermented Dijon Mustard and Chaga Infused Wild Fermented Raw Chipotle Sauce.
I will upload some pics from those experimental recipes to archive dot org so I can share here later.
Once thing I would like to suggest when buying Chaga mushrooms (or Chaga extracts) is to ensure that the company harvesting the mushrooms is doing so in a way that respects the forest (as Chaga mushrooms grow exclusively on older Birch trees and some companies decimate the populations of both the trees and the fungi through over harvesting).
Thanks for the comment and introducing me to Clif High.
I have a Chaga/Dandelion blend that I make and add raw milk and maple syrup. Sometimes cacao powder. Gonna have some right now... :)
Where did you purchase ir did you grow?
I have so many Birch trees growing in the woods behind me, but I haven't seen any YET! I either get the Chaga from The New Hampshire Mushroom Company which is just down the road from me, and they come to our farmer's market. How lucky am I? I get the Chaga/Dandelion blend from Woodland Essence in Upstate NY. I think she also sells just Chaga. Kate is wonderful.
Is rhere a website for Woodland Essence?
Here you go! https://woodlandessence.com/search?q=chaga&type=product
Also, FYI, I used her Chaga Creme on some skin cancer on my face a few years back, and it disappeared and never returned. But, don't tell Big Pharma I said that! :)
So awesome!
Sure thing! Thanks for al the info. Best place to buy on your opinion? Clif uses Pure Bulk as they also make a Sleep Aid he is a part of.
Here is a link to some pics and in depth info on the various Chaga infused fermented food recipes I described above.

(That particular picture is a close up of the Chaga infused Wild Fermented Chipotle Sauce, if you scroll down the pic linked above below I provide info and supporting research)
You are so thoughtful. Thank you!
My pleasure.
I like the practices of these two companies my self:

🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
A fantastic and well thought post.🙏🙏
Brilliant to finally see more in-depth information on the impacts and pernicious effects of glysophate.
Interestingly to note, that yes it is in the air and waterways, which is why it's shows up in the blood of 98% of people. But more interestingly, it was originally patented as a antimicrobial, antibiotic, not a pesticide. Keeping that in mind, it attacks the very microbes in the soil, that help us to detox dangerous chemicals AND the microbes that we need to be able to create the endogenous antioxidant pathways.☹
We could in likelihood deal with a dioxin dump, if the soil, our own terrain was not already compromised from glysophate. My concern is it will be a hard ask for most to detox both!
Thanks also for including reference to Jennifer Depew's work- she does brilliant work and doesnt get enough attention in my humble opinion.🙏🤗
I am so glad you found the info to be helpful.
I appreciate you elucidating on how pervasive glyphosate has become in the environment (I touched on that in my previous post about Transgenic AG but I think emphasizing that point here is important as well.)
Yes, it was designed to attack the very foundation of life, the microbiome. And considering our human bodies are more of a community of life (rather than a that which could be described as a singular organism) as our bodies are composed of ten times as many bacterium then cells that contain our own unique DNA, being exposed to antimicrobial and antibiotic compounds on the scale we are has some very grave consequences indeed. Thankfully, despite the insane choices of a few humans, Mother Earth has our back and if we band together and choose to take action, we can heal our bodies and the body of the Earth by teaming up with our elder species in the bacteria and fungi kingdoms :)
I share your concerns about the compounding damage of multiple toxins but I have faith that if we align our actions with the regenerative capacity of the Earth in each of our communities, that which is life affirming, symbiotic and grounded in love will prevail.
I agree Jennifer's work is underrated and I appreciate how she lists some foods where people can get the nutrients she is talking about (as to facilitate increasing localized food and health sovereignty rather than just encouraging people to by supplements from far away places).
Thanks for the wonderful comment.
Good point. I wonder about algae and chlorella in the Kamchatka region of Siberia, could be a safe bet.
Since dioxin is fat-soluble, certain fats in the diet can help with chelation, such as grassfed clarified butter. I make it at home, super easy. Just simmer butter until it foams, keep simmering for 20 minutes, then strain through a cheesecloth. Shelf-stable forever.
FYI: In one study with 88 subjects, 48 of them underwent a 7-day detox of ingesting ghee (clarified butter) while on a no fat, meat or dairy diet. The researchers measured 9 different environmental PCB dioxin toxins and 8 pesticide toxins.
They saw a significant reduction in the 9 PCBs and the 8 pesticides after the 7-day ghee protocol: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12233802/
I have now added the information you provided in post above, thanks again! :)
Roman thank you for cross posting this article of Gavin's. I am always amazed that my body knows what it needs.
absolutely! The body is an amazing machine when we give it a chance.
Thanks for reading and for the helpful info!
Since healthy fats can be so beneficial in this context this made me think about how a specific Ethiopian recipe we like to use in our kitchen could perhaps provide even more synergistic detox benefits than Ghee alone. It is called Niter Kibbeh (ንጥር ቅቤ in Amharic) and it is traditionally made with ghee (though we like to use coconut oil instead as we do not have a source for butter produced by regeneratively raised cows where we live). It is a recipe that infuses Turmeric, Onion and Ginger (among other things) into the fat. The compounds in those ingredients would add an additional antioxidant kick to the healthy fat Chelation effect and provide the mitochondria with supporting compounds to aid in DNA protection and repair at the same time. I uploaded the recipe to archive dot org so I could share it with you and anyone else reading this incase you would like to try making it for yourself.
Here is a link to the screenshot of the recipe from my soon to be published book (and some pics of the ingredients/process) https://archive.org/details/screenshot-1391/Screenshot%20%281391%29.png Enjoy! :)
Thanks again for the comment and link.
Thank you 🙏 so much! I will definitely be making this soon.
You are most welcome :) My book contains recipes with roots in over 20 cultures but I included quite a few Ethiopian recipes as we grow a lot of ginger, turmeric, hot peppers and Egyptian onions in our garden and Ethiopian food is a fun and healthy way to combine those in medicinally synergistic ways (while also allowing us to explore the unique) gifts offered to us by a far away culture with our senses.
Please let me know how making your own Niter Kibbeh goes for you.
If you have not made Ethiopian recipes before here is a link to another screenshot from my book that lists a variety of recipes that incorporate Niter Kibbeh (ንጥር ቅቤ) for some inspiration.
https://archive.org/details/screenshot-1162
Also, If you like sourdough rye bread I imagine you will love the traditional Ethiopian flat bread that is served along side every meal as it is a wild fermented dark sourdough flat bread. Here is the recipe for if you wanna make some to go with your Niter Kibbeh :) https://archive.org/details/screenshot-1163
I eat tons of ghee... :)
nice. i like kerry gold. do u make your own?
Well....I used to! Now, I usually get it from Pure Indian Foods. It's really high quality and a small company. https://www.pureindianfoods.com/
Good to know the brand...thanks for sharing Barbara. fyi Kerry Gold isn't too expensive b/c it's sold with the other (non-organic) butters sometimes. But it's still technically from grassfed cows in Ireland, which means it has DHA in it.
post re: DHA https://open.substack.com/pub/romanshapoval/p/the-best-brainfood?r=1iykap&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
I love Kerry Gold butter, but I try to buy more locally when I can. I didn't know they make ghee. I've never seen it here.
Funny, I used to be able to get grass-fed raw butter when I lived in the city, so I would make my own ghee. Now that I'm in the country, I can get raw milk, kefir, and yogurt at the farmer's market but not raw butter. Not sure what country you're in - I'm in the USA - but a chunk of my heart is in Ireland and Scotland. :)
