MO 1:53:35Okay, would you eat something that came out of poop? Dr. Isaac Zama 1:53:38Absolutely. Because you know what? Poop is very, very organic. Absolutely. Because poop comes from the human body. Except it is mixed with external organisms. That is when it becomes dangerous. But just coming out from you is not dangerous. I’ll give an example. When we’re growing up, when you go to the farm, and you’re bitten by a snake, your mom or your dad, they will force you, you pee. And do you drink that pee right there. And as soon as you drink that pee in neutralizes the venom of the snake. Yes, oh yes. Wow. Your mom though. I don’t know what to but you pee don’t mix up. mothers know how to do that. Yeah, yeah. They will make you to pee and or force you or you drink it and in utilizes the venom in the snake. I really don’t know whether it is all kinds of snake, or all kinds of venom for that, I don’t know. But, you know, for those of us who grew up where I grew up, that was a common practice, it was passed down from generation to generation. So if you go to the farm and you’re bitten by a snake, the first thing that you will do is, you know, make up and, you know, you know, you’re an endo dog give you the pee, or you drink that before, before they’re trying to take you back home, you know, to either give you a secondary treatment or ticket ticket to the clinic or to the hospital. So that was the first aid. So, you know, asking me if, you know, what was question that you wish that I, they asked me, I think that maybe something about the valorization of our indigenous knowledge, Oh, hmm. That, that that can, you know, help us even within the domain of agriculture, or just, you know, us as humans living. So, you know, the, some of the some of the things that we as humans we, we, we produce, by by police, I mean, things like urine, things like poop, those are very, very useful in, in agriculture, especially, in, you know, in trying to improve upon soil. You know, I don’t know, when you went to Puerto Rico, I don’t know how Puerto Rico is. But if you if today, you go to Sierra Leone, you go to Liberia, you go to Nigeria, to Ghana, maybe in a row, you know, in rural areas, and you go to a bar, where people drink you know, the way bars are set up, you know, you go to the bar, you buy your drink and behind the bar, you know, you just go there and pee, you know, you you know up on top. So, if you look where people pee, you would see that the grass where people pee is green 365 days a year. So, what does that mean scientifically, it means that the pee that we pee is organic, that is why the grass that is very green, transpose it to now to your to your farm, all the kill, all the things that you grow are always very green. Why? MO 1:58:25Because they’re being fertilized. Dr. Isaac Zama 1:58:27So, so it’s the same thing about you know, the urine that is you know, that people pee on on that grass there and that grass is very green, which means that the pea contents phosphorus contains nitrogen and contains what was was a chemical I forgot it. Yeah potassium. So, P from a human being concern, I mean, has those three elements potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, that is what chemical fertilizer NPK NPK is that we buy from store that is what they contain, it is just that those are money, but that from P is natural. So, you know, if you look at, if you watch nature, you can see that some of the things which we despise, or which we throw away or which we don’t like, essentially, the things that we need to, you know, to, you know, to survive or to come into this symbiotic relationship between us and an earth and you know, what we eat MO 1:59:58I need to make this into a an entire episode or a series of episodes, but for the talk that I gave at the blink sustainability summit this year, I talked about how the entirety of Korean Natural Farming as this whole agricultural discipline came out of the observation of how they traditionally did agriculture in or how, how one guy’s grandfather did it, meaning at the end of the year, whoa, so sorry, they make kimchi, right, traditional food, and then they tossed the kimchi broth, out into this out into the garden and all that fermented, you know, the fermented cabbage that makes it kimchi, that stuff there would grow very well, right. But another thing that they used to do was because they didn’t have outhouses, or whatever, they just had pots, where they would collect all of the night soil or our our poop. And at the end of the, at the end of a given timeframe that would put that out into the, into, into the stuff in and have it grow. And so then, so that was the grandfather doing that, then the father said, what if I combine the kimchi juice with the manure? Right. And that was, that was the beginning of that particular thing. And then the grandson young thing showed develop this and he replaced the manure with sugar, brown sugar, especially, um, and it took off from there. And it’s this thing that everybody, you know, especially in the West, so many people do this sort of thing, just from that one observation, you know, um, but I think, um, when one of the things that like we were talking about, as it relates to John V’s future fertility, and the, the calculations that, that are provided, I did an episode on that in the past, I think I’m pretty sure I did. But, uh, but that’s because, for example, one of one of I can’t remember if it’s total or benign, but one of their, I think it’s togo has a whole lot of rock phosphates. And that’s one of their primary exports, which is, you know, I mean, it, whatever, that’s a lot, because that is one of the resources that is that we need to roll these plans, and it is an ever shrinking capacities everywhere else except for. And, obviously, we can’t completely just use our stuff, because we have to get the food that we eat from somewhere, right? Right. But it is an aspect of being able to recycle that stuff that eventually would just go into the wastewater treatment facility right here in the United States, or in other developed parts of the world. But it is a very interesting thing to have, you know, to, you know, looking at this resource that you have, I don’t know how many times people say you go use the bathroom, eight times a day, you know, the 30 milliliters or whatever, that you may, you know, put into the toilet that’ll add up considerably, you know, that’s 500 milliliters at the end of the day, and it only takes in a gallon is what 3.7785 liters. So it’ll take not that long to fill that up and five days, six days, you’ll you’ll, you know, you’ll you’ll fill that stuff up very quickly. may not, I’m not really all that together with math. But um, but like you said, the urea is something especially a lot of farmers in the Midwest are struggling right now, because urea prices have shot through the roof. And urea is in urine Dr. Isaac Zama 2:04:17nature has given it to us MO 2:04:19free. Right. Right. And, and, and like you talked about, and I’ll and I’ll put this video in the in the, in the show notes, what I was listening to, oops, I don’t want to make sure I play it. But you have a two part video series here, how to make your own organic fertilizer with urine parts one and two. And it’s a hour and a half of excellent information for people to just utilize that because once you have immune and just like with anything once you apply a new technique and have success with that technique, you’re going to keep going further with that right Being able to collect the wastes, or the resources of your entire household was a way to really improve that I mean, you know, tested yourself, you know, on a small plot, you know, on a on, you know, like, I have to say this, obviously, I have to do all this stuff at night because I don’t want my neighbors seeing me use the bathroom all the time. But, you know, I have one of the things because we have like these magnolia trees in our backyard, I want to be very fragrant, I want to smell, you know, the magnolia tree, how do I do that? Through fertilization? Yep. And, Dr. Isaac Zama 2:05:42you know, I’m going to give it small example, but you know, I do it personally, oh, um, you know, I have a bottle in my car, when I’m going to work, you know, if I, if I need to pee, I just pull up, pull up on, you
