In this presentation Dr. Weiss will explain how a dedicated diet of whole plant foods produced from living soils leads to the reversal and prevention of chronic disease.

omg this is an amazing subject i cant wait TO help myself and fam!
WHOOP WHOOP LOYAL TO MY SOIL!
Question: how do you price your excellent farm produce to make it as attractive as the super cheap (and very poor) alternative available elsewhere? And how do you reach the lowest income populations (who also have the heaviest burden of poor health)?
AMAZING
Thank you. I’m glad there are people making the connection between soil health, plant health and human health and but I wish it would get mainstream coverage. Seeing so many sick people believing there is only medication that can rectify their disease is very disheartening. How can we make this become mainstream knowledge?
I agree. How can we make this mainstream knowledge?
You had me convinced until Rockefeller foundation. I guess the rich want to make sure they have healthy food as they screw the worker cattle of the world. Why not get Pfizer and Bayer as sponsors also?
Food is medicine. I believe this is true but the food has to be grown on soil that is treated correctly. Not with chemicals but with care. Good healthy nutrition packed food can correct a lot of health issue. I wish more doctors accepted this as an approach instead of all the “quick fix chemicals” which many cause more problems than they fix. I am currently working towards a healthier life for my family and myself. It is not always easy but nothing worth having is.
Thank you Ron for this presentation.
So you support animal husbandry in the form of pigs to provide manure for the deep bed farming??
This is disappointing! What about promoting veganic farming methods such as composting and not animal ag which adds to global warming?
Great presentation! And wonderful work you are doing!
Thank you for your inspiring presentation.
I like the process by which Ron finds his regenerative argicultural grounding and how he has shared this knowledge in order to make it clear and accessible for others to follow.
From an early age i have practiced eating whole vegetables and herbs and can not replicate this experience with consumption of any other way of eating.
His principle formula -HUMAN HEALTH = NUTRIENTS/CALORIES as a model for adequately explaining why the current extractive agricultural model has corrupted health by decreasing nutrient density and increasing calories is very helpful. Also, it is great to hear the results of adopting a strict diet of whole plants; that this can reasonably get us off the medications and drugs so freely and widely consumed.
Excellent information and practical advise.
