Do you have any advice for establishing a good healthy relationship with the microbes around us after the program? Is it ok to garden— working in and breathing in the soil microbes, or should we expose ourselves gradually so as to build natural immunity?

Additional Details: Regarding regional microbes— I garden and will be raising chickens again soon. I believe that we need to form a relationship with soil microbes and that we can live in harmony with the zillions of microbes that are all around us, knowing some of them are potentially pathogenic too.

Now we’re thinking about the Earth’s microbiome, which is a wonderful thing. Soil-based organisms are part of the human microbiomes as well. We breathe them and get them via farm fresh food. There are many beneficial ones and many dangerous ones, so it’s all about the individual’s susceptibility and immune system. Jump into the gardening. Your body should know what to do after GT5, especially the 3-4 months that follow as you “terraform”. Statistics show that people who are around farm animals have healthier immune systems. Garden & enjoy. Pet the chicken & enjoy. All is as nature intended to be in harmony.
