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.
