A reader ask me about this, and I went to their site and needed an air sickness bag looking at the prices as well as advertising contents. $15 for less than a quart of water with a dash of whatever.
Some translations:
- “humification” becoming humus, i.e. “A very stable form of humus is formed from the slow oxidation of black carbon,” i.e. COAL.
- Wikipedia “The theory that a ‘humification’ process created ‘humus’ predates a sophisticated understanding of soils. Products of a humification process have not been observed in soil. Although ‘humification’ theory is unsupported by evidence, “the underlying theory persists in the contemporary literature, including current textbooks.”[29]“
- “Fulvic minerals” and “Humic minerals” – had to go back to a paper written in the 1960’s to find even vague references in scientific literature, and it deal with clays. On PubMed, it is the acids that are generally cited: “Fungicidal activities of soil humic/fulvic acids as related to their chemical structures in greenhouse vegetable fields with cultivation chronosequence [2016].“
So bottom line, someone took some clay with humus and mixed it with water!
Probiotic Contents
The site states 12.5 Billion CFU, consisting of:
- Bacillus-Pumilus – ” It resides in soils and some colonize in the root area of some plants”
- [A sepsis case caused by a rare opportunistic pathogen: Bacillus pumilus][2016]. “Bacillus pumilus is a bacteria, though rarely, been reported as the causative agent of various infections such as sepsis, endocarditis, skin infections and food poisoning in human”
- ” We report 3 cases of cutaneous infection caused by B. pumilus that occurred in 3 shepherds, 2 of whom were members of the same family. The lesions appeared to have a morphology similar to that of cutaneous anthrax lesions.” [2007]
- Bacillus Megaterium: – one of the most common soil bacteria
- Bacillus Subtilus – known as the hay or grass bacillus
- Bacillus-Licheniformis – common in soil. used to make biological laundry detergent
- Bacillus-Amyloliquefaciens (until 1987, deemed to be B. Subtilus)
Not a single strain identified — and all of them are expected to be found in compost that contains hay.
Bottom Line
Find a suitable clay deposit and a compost pile from an organic farm, package it and sell it with a detail analysis of the content. You have over 70 trace minerals!!! Likely a hundred strains of bacteria and a half dozen families.
Wrap it up with enough pretty word smithing and images and you will make a fortune selling a bottle of water with a little soil mixed in for $15/quart!
Or, go for a hike in a national forest, do not wash your hands and eat lunch — you will likely have the same health impact!!
