Everyone has turf.

Yeah, exactly.

And so the less we do that, the less we're poisoning everything around trying to do that.

I mean, you look at all the dogs having cancer now, and that's probably mostly landscaping and agricultural chemicals.

Yeah, their lifespan is half what it used to be.

yeah so we got to make that shift and we can do that as a society and make it like not okay to everybody to have turf and be irrigating their uh irrigating their stuff and then you know you you go into hotels and stuff and you know they're trying to control things from growing in there so they're spraying the hell out of everything there uh you know they all have these carpets that are just filled with all kinds of junk

Then, you know, you get into mold.

I remember being in the 70s as a kid, 70s and 80s, when insulation became a big thing.

And the houses used to be draftier and we spent more on heating, but they dried real well when they got wet.

And then we started just hosing insulation into all these walls.

And now the walls don't breathe anymore.

and so then you have all these stuff growing in the walls, and really getting a handle on that, because you're going to have mold growing behind insulation, and you'll be doing spore tests to see if there's mold, and you won't get any of the spores because they're all back there, but you smell it, and now we're finding we were all focused on mycotoxins before, and the mycotoxin exposure, those were toxins that were

just sorbed on to the spores.

And so you had to get the spores to get the mycotoxins.

But it turns out just the smell, the volatiles that are coming out of the bacteria and the funguses that are all growing behind the wall, those are major activators of a toxic response through the trigeminal nerve.

So the nerve that comes in around your eyes, down to your teeth, and out to your nose,

is sensing those things.

And so those smells are actually stimulating this nervous system excitation that winds up inflammatory reactions.

And so everybody's trying to deal with all this runaway inflammation.

And where does that come from?
