  1. It’s great what can be done naturally with the knowledge of permaculture and the use of plants as medicine and tonics to boost the health of people of poor countries that can also be used by affluent peoples to save them selves from poor quality factory foods that fill the belly but starves the body and creates just as much sicknes as in poor countries Three cheers for permaculture
