I think that's not how do I move this night forward that elbows. Just touch that goes the next one.
OK, I'm wired, I'm told. Well. Well, it's good to be here with so many informed people and inspiring people to like the last doctor you heard. It's a huge challenge that we face today. And my task this morning is to speak about the animals and the earth. My position is this. I'm basically an alien. And I just flew in this morning from outer space and I saw this beautiful green planet. And the closer I got, I realize it has got cancer. And the cancer is a human species. We are a blight on the earth. I hate to say it. I'm not a misanthrope. I love my brother and my sister and my neighbor. But we're in a mess. We're out of balance with the earth.
Hopi Indians call it Koyaanisqatsi life out of balance.
And we will not be well until we heal the earth and take care of the animals, the animals and the trees. The microorganisms, they keep the planet healthy. And this is where our task lies.

I remember a couple of times going on the Johnny Carson and I was crying not because I was so emotionally moved, but the pollution here.
There's been a little bit of improvement metaphysically, mind, body environment connections, emotional stress, as well as environmental factors, nutritional deficiencies, excesses and imbalances.
I'm living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, right now. The flat land is the land of the fat. Talk about metabolic disruption. It's tragic. The obesity syndrome Dr. Wallach did not address yesterday.
Very, very serious.
Diabetes, circulatory problems, estrogen mimicking hormones in the environment, the dioxins, the P.C. bees that get concentrated in the food you eat, especially animal fat. Pretty serious, but this is symptomatic of a dysfunctional society. Metaphorically,
