 The more we try to insulate ourselves from nature, the sicker we get.

Everything from the clothes and skin-products we wear, to the houses we live in, to the urban atmosphere we create...insulates us from nature.

The food we eat. The water we drink. The air we breathe. The electromagnetism we bathe in.

All synthetic.

All detach us from nature.

With chronic disease at all time highs. 
 Did you catch RFK Jrs VP say we need to address electromagnetic pollution as one of her top 3 health concerns? Yes, I know politicians won’t save us but it was a bit inspiring to have that topic on a big stage.
