To avoid censorship I have tried to replace C with a K in all references to The Virus. My words are in Italics . Dr. Rebecca writes: One of my best friends here in Austria is a musician with four kids….

The answer depends on whether the milk was produced organically or conventionally; on your genes and allergies as well as the state of your…

Garlic is Wonderful

GAPS practitioners use garlic as an antibiotic, because it is a powerfully good, registered anti biotic which ONLY kills the  bad bugs, not all your beneficial bugs as well. What a…

Perennial Pasture establishment

It’s time to think about the coming wet season, and growing a prairie. Why? Because prairies actually sequester more carbon than forests.

Multi Species pasture establishment and/or cover crop service

In late 2018 we purchased a small seeder which makes several 1 inch wide furrows in a paddock, deposits seed or seed mix in the furrow, covers and rolls in one pass. We then added a compost extract injection system to apply good biology to the soil around the seed. The beauty of the seeder…
