13:55 the Eat Dirt part starts

my grandpa use to roll up a small pea size mud when it rained and tell us to eat it and told us like this dr said that God made us from dirt and one day our bodies will turn back into dirt... and he'll tell us to eat it. wow, now i understand why....this is very interesting. 😊👍

Dr Axe.. Such a good guy. He is also a good speaker, and doesn't seem fake at all. He actually motivates - that is why I am watching all his great KZfaq videos to get in better health.

What a great son! Your mom sewed the seeds of love and got it back 10 fold.

I liked your comment about we are always indoors and that is one of the reasons for lack of biome diversity. I remember old pictures of farming families whereas the mother is overweight but all her kids including her husband are slim and fit. Being indoors constantly is a killer.

Huge fan of Dr. Axe. True example of medical and homeopathic integrity. Thanks for supporting him and having him on your channel. So many people need to hear these wise words. He truly wants health for all. Down with processed foods and fast foods. Please take the time to love, nourish and heal our bodies with good whole foods. God's medicine. We're all worth it :)

Dr.Axe has incredible videos I enjoy most of the topics... so generous of him considering how busy he is.

The title of your book, Eat Dirt, amused me. I used to work for an elderly man making his meals etc. He had a big backyard so I decided to grow an organic garden. One day I went to gather some lettuce for a salad. It was the curly kind and I had a hard time getting all the dirt rinsed out of the curly parts but I had finally got rid of all the dirt or so I thought. As we were eating supper, I noticed there was still a bit of dirt in the curls and I remarked on it. Then I said, "Oh, well, we all have to eat a pint of dirt before we die." The old guy said, "Well, I didn't want it all in one meal." :)) If he was still alive, I'd buy your book for him. :))

I am so honored to have discovered you!!!! You have changed my life!!!!!

here in Africa we are taught that when you get to a new place put the soil in water and drink it. We still do it for young babies when you to a new place.

omgosh!! that is amazing about Dr Axes mom so happy to hear that he was in the best time to help her and that she is doing so great thats what i want for my health thanks for sharing this

Dr. Axe...you are doing such a great service to so many. Thanking God for you often.

I have had leaky gut for the last 16 years, tried everything. Been taking L. Glutamine supplements for one week and feel on top of the world.

There is this store in our neighbourhood which sold products from Uganda and Nigeria, and one of the products I saw in this place a small block of some packaged product and the store lady said that it was actually mud from deep on the earth and this is mostly eaten by pregnant mothers in Uganda. It tasted horrible just plain mud taste but the benefits are claimed to be very good.

Back in the late 90's I read an article online that said that 35,000 metric tons of cosmic dust fall on the earth every day, which explains why the ancient cities are under several feet of dirt. As I recall there was some mention that cosmic dust has a full spectrum of minerals. I've tried to find that article and I can't find it anywhere.

I took farm-raised trout thinking it was salmon without reading the label. when I cooked it & it smelled like the sewer and the taste was the same I took that back it was gross and I learned a valuable lesson never eat farmed fish and read labels always.

The soil in our earth today is more containminated then decade agos.

What could happen if one adds a spoon of dirt into a fermentation jar with salt and some pickles? Does fermentation kills any parasite eggs in the soil?

Fantastic. I am always healthier when I get my hands dirty at work or in the garden. Have always struggled with leaky gut, healing it is a long journey, but it is worth the struggle.

God bless your mom! Thank you Dr Axe for what you do! 💖✝️

what an amazing guy

Dr. Axe is the model of how doctors and medicine should be.

Africans Caribbeans Greek , china etc have always ate dirt but western people try to convince people that it's wrong😔 these people have known the benefits forever

This is my first time listening to this wonderful person. When he talks about prayer 🙏🏾 that grabs my attention, and then the Exodus. I have been suffering from lots of reflux, anemia, parasites invasion, maybe leaky gut. I had enough of this indigestion with no where to turn. One love Dr Axe 🪓

You sound like the great Paul Check. He was saying this for years. So true, the gut is where it starts. But I think paying attention to signs - like the first signs of a decline in health. I’m now 100% clear of Psoriasis and never been happier.

Diatomaceous earth?

*I bought this when my adrenal fatigue treatment stalled. I don't have any GI issues, but I am trying to figure out why my blood work levels are not improving despite the supplements I have been taking for over a year (D3, iron, DHEA, etc..) and my adrenal fatigue recovery has plateaued without complete resolution of the fatigue and sleep difficulties. I stumbled upon the absorption issue theory of leaky gut, which in my mind would make sense for my above complaints. I also continue to have a strong addiction to sugar despite a year of dietary and lifestyle changes. Although much improved, there are times everyday when I feel like I have poison ivy and people tell me not to scratch, my body MUST have sugar for the pain and impulse of the sugar craving to go away. Understanding more about yeast in the gut and it's need for sugar to survive helped me understand the strong impulses for sugar. Convinced this is a logical thing to at least try to rule out that it is not a gut issue, I bought this leaky gut product and probiotics from another brand. I have taken both products for 2 weeks. The first week (like the fist week of the Whole 30) was filled with bowel changes and intense headaches, but after the "detox and adjustment" phase, I am convinced of the benefits for this product combined with probiotics. My stomach was visibly flatter in the first week. My sugar cravings are reducing significantly. Plain water can quench my thirst rather than needing flavored (sweetened) water, I am hungry less frequently throughout the day and at bed time. I am optimistic about continuing the treatment. The down side is the flavor. Adding it to water as directed was absolutely foul tasting. I tried for 4 days to take it with water, reducing the amount of water so I could get it down in one gulp and chasing it with the remainder of the required water to get rid of the taste. It was still just awful. Other reviews said they mixed it with juice. So even though I am trying to reduce sugar in my diet, I felt sticking with this treatment was worth adding a bit of juice to my diet. So I take it with orange juice and the the flavor is no longer a problem. Hope this helps, and good luck with your own journey to health.* Excellent results to compliment adrenal fatigue recovery, but take it with juice not water.

I've learned so much from you Dr Axe thank you ! on the way to perfect health 💪🏼

I am pregnant and got severe morning sickness. So i bought luvos clay here in Germany. It helped me with my morning sickness and acidity. But i feel addicted to it. I ate last week 5 teaspoons daily. It says on that packet that it contains silicates, iron, zinc and calcium but i was just wondering if it also has lead and nickel in it? May be you know about it. Please tell me. I really crave for it now 24*7

Read the book 'We Want to Live' by Aajonus Vonderplanitz. He's been talking about raw meat, bacteria for years. Bacteria = Life

My Mother told us kids that when she and her siblings were younger living down south, they use to eat fried dirt...of course my siblings were looking at her like...😳. But apparently they were on to something.

If I could guarantee that no parasites or harmful entities would be in the dirt, I’d eat it. I used to eat it when I was young in the 80’s and 90’s and I liked it

dr Axe is one of the best Advicer in Natural MEDCINE.

Dr. AXE YOU'RE WONDERFUL MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤

If you like this talk you may also like content from Amandha volmer, Clive De Carle, Andrew Kaufman, Mango man Wayne Pickering all have very similar discussions on a range of health related topics!

Hi, thanks for the knowledge. I read in an article that the live cultures in yogurt would have died before they can enter our intestines, is this true or not?

Bless him he changed my life

I ate dirt as a kid when we dug potatoes and carrots and ate them in the field. We didn't wipe off all the dirt. But what about tetanus and botulism?

I WONDERED IF I COULD JUST TRY EATING SOME DIRT, I REMEMBER MAKING MUDPIES WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3 AND EATING THEM OR TRYING TO ANYWAY? I HAD SUCH BAD GUT ISSUES I COULDN'T EAT ANYTHING MUCH, JUST FISH, ENDED UP AROUND 35 KILO, I'M 5'3" IN HOSPITAL, MISDIAGNOSED BY GASTRO AS BEING ANOREXIC, I THINK HE JUST NEEDED TO FIND A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT GUT MICROBIOME, I COULDN'T EVEN WALK, I GOT WELL ON THEIR DIET OF VEGETABLES PUREED AND EATING DISORDER CLINIC STARTED FEEDING ME HIGH FRUCTOSE DRINK THAT WAS SO ADDICTIVE, I GOT FAT LATER, BUT MY DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS WERE TOTALLY GONE, THEN I HAD A FACELIFT, INTRAVENOUS ANTIBIOTICS AND LOADS OF PAINKILLERS STARTED THE WHOLE NIGHTMARE AGAIN, I'M JUST RECOVERING NOW AND RESEARCHING, CHINESE HERBS HAVE BEEN LIFE SAVER!

What an awesome son and Dr.Axe is!!!! I did the blood typing diet and lots of organics!!!

Hello there Dr. Axe! Do you mind telling me which are the five most powerful antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral oils available?

Ginger actually makes me worst. Candida doesn't necessarily mean you have cold/dampness. Chinese doctor told me I actually have too much heat and when I'd eat warming foods like ginger it would cause dry itchy scalp and skin.

thanks for the interview, Dr. Axe. Have been sharing the good word about dirt :)

I used to eat mud as a child as play. Was always healthy til I grew up and stopped. We keep geese and I've watched them pull up weeds and clean them in their water. They will then ensure the goslings drink from the water. They know more than we do!

Processed food is shit

Do you heal the gut or address parasites first?

People always over look fresh caught Catfish !! In TX . I can go catch my own fresh fish almost yr. round light flavor versatile , and has all the good fats & oils !!

Dr axe great video. Pls cater to vegetarians too on how to heal leaky gut. Thank you.

I love you Dr Josh. ...I watch all your videos. .. you are amazing... all the information you provide for free. ... no other will do. .... that's GREAT man

Yeah. I'm headed to the backyard right now to dig up dinner...

May God bless you for the vd ....you are amazing and lifesaver thanks

Fascinating…need to purchase this book Eat Dirt…thank you Dr Axe for sharing your wisdom 👏🏼🙌🏼

Maybe this is why my dog buries her raw bones I give her then eats them later?

Thank you Dr Axe, I wonder if it is dangerous to take diatomaceous earth if you have leaky gut

They consume dirt in Jamaica for healing

Regarding leaky gut... collagen gives me a histamine reaction, and so does NAC and glutamine... Colostrum gave me a lot of acne... I'm so sick of trying to heal my gut and literally all the things that are key to healing your gut... my body doesn't agree with =(. Anybody out there with similar experience?

What about Diatomaceous earth powder ??

Is it safe to use soil based probiotic if you are on methotrexate?

I am going to barn’s &noble today to buy your book. Thanks for sharing all the great info.

So why can't we just sprinkle a bit of dirt from the woods on our veggies when we eat them?

and the latest thing is we're supposed to fast not only intermittent but block fasting which encourages the destruction of old cells and stimulation of new supposed to be the be-all-and-end-all according to Jason Fung.

We fish our own trout from mountain lakes in Colorado. But how can you talk about healing leaky gut and not mention vitamin d or magnesium even once???

He is a real doctor who does not affiliated with pharmaceutical companies. He brings "cure" when no MDs would consider curing patients.

I am a fan of Dr Axe. Just one thing is expected from him, which is to be least commercial as possible because money destroys potential. I have observed you recommend enzyme supplements; I expected you would recommend direct food sources such as pineapples and papayas too for dygestive enzymes. I always try to prefer direct food sources in stead of purchasing supplements. Of course, if they are not available as food, I would purchase supplements.

God is so good!!!🙌🏾 great testimony.

what is your advice on taking Diatomaceous Earth

absolutely there are pro bionics in the ground thats why veggies and fruits that come from the dirt are healthy for us. I found there is a great soil based probiotics that does not need refrigeration. GOOD STUFF GUYS!!!

That is absolutely amazing that you healed your mother

What about diotamacious earth?

It's not dirt. It's clay. Not the same thing. Get the science right.

Fantastic interview !! Got this book on pre order already !! Great show ! 🤓

we get so much conflictling information they used to say the crockpot took all the nutrition out of the food. only last night I was listening to dr. Greger and he had me convinced to go on a total plant diet that IGF1 because of animal products was going to kill me.

This dirt eating theory is a bit hard to swallow .

Good story about your mom. I wish I knew what I know now, when my mom got alzhiemers in the 90s, we didn't know half the cures

heals pride & greed, too.

Food grade, Dimatceous Earth is excellent for heath!

First of all, thank you so very much for your guidance regarding leaky gut therapy. It has transformed my life and for that I am very grateful. I have thought about wanting to try the serrapeptase enzyme therapy for scar tissue in my shoulder that was a result of a fall a few years ago. Can you please recommend a company and its product as there appears to be no real conclusive data suggesting a product or the delivery of it into my gut, i.e., enteric coated versus cellulose based. And there appears to be a lack of good information about dosages for starting, curing and then maintaining the results of the therapy, so if you can, comment about what your would recommend.

But some people said do not eat any kind of meat and oil sugar and salt for leaky guts! What can we do?? Who is right 😢😭

So bentonite clay?

Thank you for sharing your information!!!

I need this I'm always getting urine infection Dr.Axe like to get your book, my husband leg is infection they Amputate. It Dr Axe what do for him to help Thk u so much 😊

So which is the best SBO probiotic?

AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Thank you,thank you,thank you for this information. I am definitely getting the book.

This bone broth thing came from Campbell-McBride and has never been peer reviewed or independent tested. I don't buy it. Functional medicine seems to regurgitate a lot of information, which is not helpful to the cause, which I believe in.

Thank you Dr. Axe. Great information.

Excellent video 👏

Awesome Testimony and so good to hear! Good to know people genuinely care from the heart ❤️ God put so much here for us to implement and understand! Thank you Dr. Axe! Thank you dear Lord!

i really feel like our bodies tell us exactly what we need if we listen. i have always craved dirt, when i was younger i use to eat it and as i got older would suck on rocks for the dirt taste lol eventually grew out of it as you’re obviously told not to eat dirt SMH boutta find a way to incorporate it into my life again HAHAHAHAH

Water kefir is a superfood. Healed my gut

Interesting discussion... thank you!
