Are we getting enough DIRT in our diet?

I'm reading the book The Makers Diet by Jordan Rubin. This poor guy got Crohn's disease in college and battled it with conventional and non-conventional treatments for years with no success. His body wasted away untill he came across SBO's or soil based organisms. Long story short, he introduced this friendly bactieria into his diet and regained his health. Copied from his book is an except with some health benifits scientists attribute to the consumption of SBO's:
  • Pool new RNA/DNA in the cells. SBOs provide a rich source of coded instructions for the cells to reactivate their own repair called DNA and RNA. SBOs appear to work in a symbiotic ( mutually beneficial) relationship with body tissues by creating a pool of extra DNA/RNA raw materials. This reserve is immediatly avilable upon demand, accelerating the healing process when cells are damaged by wounds, burns, surgical incisions, and infections.
  • Quench free radicals by creating superoxcide dismutase (SOD), apowerful antioxidant. Unless extinguished at once, free radicals attack any physiological molecule, causing cancers and other tissue damage. SOD works enzymatically as a firstline defense against free radicals, stopping them cold before they can cause organ damage. 
  • Stimulate alpha interferon production. SBOs seem to stimulate the production of the polypeptide alpha interferon (a molecular protein and a key immume system regulator). The scientific community long ago recognized the virus-fighting ability of alpha interferon. They synthesized the alpha interferon to treat a veriety of illness, including hepatitis. (unfortunately, it is extremely costly, inefficient, and has many adverse side effects.)
  • Stimulate the production of human lactoferrin. A substance present in homeostatic soil organisms stimulates the formation of human lactoferrin, one of the body's iron carrying protiens. The iron carried by the lactoferrin protein is released to healthy cells and not available to feed pathogenic microorganisms or contribute to iron overload.
Most people who begin SBO supplementation in concert with healthy dietary choices see a rapid and overall improvment in bodily functions and natural immunity to disease and infection.


Cholesterol levels tend to drop while energy levels increase; many notice an enhanced resistance to disease-causing organisms such as colds and flu. We have even seen increases in serum enzymes and normalization of serum albumin, indicating improved lymphatic flow and removal of lymphatic blockages.


Soil organisms also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill almost any kind of pathogenic microorganisms and to set up a protective shield in the gut.


Hardy SBOs survive the harsh enviroment of the gut. unlike traditional probiotics, SBOs seem to be much hardier and better able to survive the harsh enviroment of the intestine until they reach the location where they are most needed in the gut.

Soil organisms seem to be especially well equipped to establish colonies in the entire digestive system, starting in the esophagus and ending in the colon. they attach themselves to the walls of the digestive tract and burrow behind any putrefaction lining the intestional walls where they consume or destroy unfriendly microorganisms. The waste products are then dislodged and flushed out of the body in the normal evacuation process.

SBOs also seem to act aggressively against protoza, worms, and other parasites within the intestines and related organs and tissues. Even Candida albicans, along with other yeast and molds, is obliterated.

How to know if you have Dysbiosis:
Dysbiosis is a health condition of living with intestinal flora that has harmful effects, due to putrefaction, fermentation(carbohydrate intolerance), deficiency, or sensitization. The following list include many symptoms and major causes of dysbiosis.
Common symptom:
  • abdominal pain or cramps
  • colon cancer
  • constipation or diarrhea
  • distention/bloating
  • fatigue/fatigue after eating
  • flatulence (excessive gas)
  • bad breath
  • body odor
  • food allergy
  • hypoglycemia
  • inability to lose weight
  • irregular bowel syndrome
  • itchy anus
  • leaky gut syndrome
  • poor complexion
  • poor digestion
  • rheumatiod arthritis
  • spastic colon
Major Causes:
  • decreased immune function
  • decreased intestinal motility (constipation)
  • drugs- especially antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and cortisone-like medications
  • intestinal infection
  • maldigestion and malabsorption
  • poor diet- excessive carbohydrates, sugar, and trans fats
  • stress- including long-term emotional stress
