Changing our Understanding + Take Action
Welcome to the latest conversation dedicated to the pandemic narrative. Let us remember that our purpose is not to be whistleblowers but to imagine a different future that learns, rather than fears the past.
(05:24) We are in a unique tipping point in human history that requires a massive shift in consciousness that is comparable to the discovery that the Earth is round or that the Sun is the center of our solar system. (09:18) Our current revolution is propelled by the profound discovery that the microbiome is at the center of human health, not the human cell.
“We have so sold ourselves short, by this myopic kind of manifest destiny of the human belief that we were the most important and most advanced biology on the planet.”
(12:58) It’s important to understand that science is not a defined body of knowledge, and the words “science” and “dogma” should never go together. Science is, instead ,an activity and a methodology for advancing understanding. (15:41) Science is always changing, and we should suspect those who propose that it is not always changing. (16:37) Linear change is not an option. We must instead move into a co-creative relationship with our ecosystems and foster an incredible revolution with great speed.
(20:05) Currently, we have quite literally written ourselves out of the definition of Nature and placed ourselves in opposition to nature. This is the foundation for our current public health narrative, and it needs to be redefined.
The Role of Viruses
in Human Health (21:12)
To learn more, check out the full webinar on the Virome
(22:00) The virome does not exist solely outside humanity but also within humanity. More than 50% of 20,000 human genes were inserted by viruses, and we could not be mammals without them. (26:55) Every life form is capable of producing viruses. (27:16) Dr Bush shares the studies showing the incomprehensible number of viruses within sea water, soil, air and a healthy human body, all seeking adaptation in order to create resilience.
“Viruses are simply genetic packages of information that update the genetics of the planet on a regular basis.”
(30:32) We can release the fear around the presence of viruses and understand how viruses travel the world, often independent of human behavior. (33:42) Coronaviruses primarily travel via air and are not reliant solely upon humans to transmit. More than air travel, we see COVID 19 hotspots in the U.S. more closely tied to air pollution rather than air travel.
(36:01) It is possible to integrated viruses without them manifesting as clinical illness, and we look at HIV and Hepatitis C. (40:10) HIV did not originated in the 1980’s, but was shown to be present in human bloodstreams as early as the 1950’s, and studies of Hepatitis C show us that viral infections correlate more to changes in terrain rather than coming out of nowhere.
