 EM's, My New Found Friends ~~~


Who are these new found
friends? They are some of the oldest know living planetary inhabitants, the actors who played the staring role in the vital drama of gaseous exchange which took place long ago on Earth. Some people believe they were here thousands of years before AFA ( aphanizomenon flos-aquae ), plants, animals or humans. They can survive in cold, heat, excess or minimum oxygen. Their food is our garbage! ! They also feast on toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, methane gas, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Say hello to our partners and friends, EM's, effective micro organisms. EM denotes a synergistic, syntropic ( anti - en tropic ) and metaboitic ( where each organism creates favorable conditions for the growth of the other ) microbial consortium ( aggregate of more than one type of microbe ) with powerful anti oxidative properties. This consortium was first discovered in Japan almost 25 years ago by horticulturist Dr. Teruo Higa at the Department of Agriculture, University of the Ryukus. Since then EM's have grown to be used in a multitude of ways in over 120 countries around the world. For me, the two most appealing attributes of these tiny, tiny creatures are their antioxidant creating capacity and their foundational concept; co-prosperity, and co-existence, not competition. I feel it is of utmost importance to reprogram our thinking and behavior patterns to those that reflect co-operation, co-existence and sustainable living in order to positively create and heal our lives as well as the planet on which we live. Adding EM's to your diet and life are an excellent way to help restructure, heal and balance yourself and the planet. Both Robert O Young and Dr. Emoto have demonstrated to us via live blood analysis and water molecule photography the importance and relationship of structure to health and rejuvenation. With an alkaline environment your cells retain structure, organization and life, or an anabolic existence. In the presence of acid they become disorganized, catabolic and are in a destructive or dying process. This pattern, organization/disoganization, has been supported with pictures demonstrating the beautiful structures water molecules create when exposed to healing music, words and thoughts, nature or people that are known to be positive and healing. Water also proven to us when it is exposed to negative music, people, thoughts or sayings, it refraines from making a beautiful structured picture and instead presentes a disorganized one. Thus from two different sources we are shown that healing, joy, love, regeneration, and other positive attributes are associated with structure and organization, not disorganization. Dr. Higa and others have asserted that EM offers tremendous healing ability to bring higher degrees of structure, order and coherence to all living beings, such as plants, animals and humans. He has demonstrated over the years the EM's power to change the world through co-existence and co-prosperity. Here are a few things EM's can do. Increase crop yield nearly 50%, increase vitamin content within EM grown food, as well as increase taste and shelf life of fresh EM grown foods. Clean up odors and polluted waters, control odors and disease on animal farms, aerate soil, clean up toxic spills on land as well as in water, and ferment compost. They can be used as a natural pest control for crops as well as around the home. EM's may be used in cosmetics and soaps as a natural anti fungal, anti bacterial agent as well as a great antioxidant to aid the regeneration of the skin. Taken internally they markedly improve digestion ( for anyone with IBS, Crohn's, Leaky Gut ), increase production of B vitamins, ( great for those of us with compromised adrenals ), digest and transform toxins and wastes in the small and large intestines and on the intestinal walls ( mucoid plaque ) . They also give the immune system a boost with their production of antioxidants. Because of their ability to withstand extreme temperatures they can be baked into ceramics and thus structure and produce antioxidants for the environment they are placed in. The ceramics are used to structure drinking water, detoxify and deodorize sewers, sinks, pools, fish tanks and other bodies of water, clean toilet water, and extend the life of fresh meat and produce. Wouldn't it be nice to have clean structured water, with no memory of disease, to drink every day? In the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know, they substantiated that our bodies are 70-90% water and our thoughts as well as the water we drink and food we eat, effect the water in our bodies and create either structure and health, or disorganization, disease and degeneration. It's all your choice. What reality will you create?
