Sir Albert Howard *learned* from India

and in India - The Indore Method - and

later applied it in other various countries

where he lived during a lifetime of

research into the soil/plant/animal-human

connections.

 

His several books deal with the soil and

what *it* needs - he discovered the

mycorrhizae interaction back in the early

to middle 1900's that are being again

"discovered" by researchers into old

growth forests and composting ... He

makes a point : that "immunity" and the

strength to either fight off or outlast

"predatory" insects and disease is a

faculty that can be found in soil - and

in plants - as well as in humans .... but

it *begins* with the soil-then-plants/

animals that humans ingest.
