Minister for Environment Question:
Can you demonstrate the interconnection between the chemical changes within us caused by our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and the chemical changes in nature?
How and where do we have the opportunity to intervene, to prevent a downward spiral, and use the synergy of this connection in a positive, solution-oriented way?
Namasté Speaker Dr. Kiran Vyas, Excellencies Dr. C.V. Ananda Bose and Dharambeer Gokhool; and His Holiness Jagadguru Swami Isa, Secretary Thampan, Mira Purn, Rohani, Dignitaries, Honorable members of Parliament
Your presence and presentations are an inspiration for all of us.
Thank you, Susanne, for your beautiful introduction prayer song and Question and Namasté!
Whatever harms Nature or our environment also harms Earth’s inhabitants, particularly the human microbiome.

Cambridge University Researchers Identified 168 Chemicals Toxic to Beneficial Gut Bacteria (10 Dec 2025)
The microbiome contains about 4,500 different types of bacteria and is often referred to as the body’s 'second brain.' Exposure to environmental pollutants and consumption of contaminated food or water can disrupt the microbiome balance.
This can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections more difficult to treat. It also affects how we think and feel, emotionally and physically. Digestive problems, obesity, immune dysfunction, and mental health issues are symptoms of contamination.
Fungicides and industrial chemicals showed the largest impact, with around 30%.
Such toxic chemicals include pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, industrial chemicals, flame retardants, and plastics.
Contamination of our air, water, soil, and food supply also affects children’s behaviour, how well they develop, learn, and grow.
This research, including the new machine learning model, is published in the journal Nature Microbiology.
When the sky is sprayed to block the sun or ionize the air, people feel depressed and anxious. Our immune system is weakened, we become deficient in the sunshine vitamin D hormone, and we are exposed to aluminum and other pollutants. Taking a vitamin D supplement does not have the same benefits because it bypasses the D pathways via skin.
Some pollutants, such as EMF radiation from wifi, towers, and electronics, are not visible or audible. Hence, by the time we realize the harm they are causing, it can be too late.
We can help resolve these problems by passing my GEP Environment Bill 2025 and recommending that governments take a long-term approach and follow the GEP Recommendations.
Further, you can implement these changes by:
• Supporting regenerative agriculture, its food products, and organizations.
• Consuming healthy, regenerative organic food, and pure, fluoride-FREE water.
• Communicate with your political Representatives and government. Demand that they remove harmful chemicals from your food, water, and environment; STOP fluoridating your drinking water, and STOP weather modifying/geoengineering your sky.
• Using Ethernet instead of wifi. Limit screen time and use Amber lights at night.
• Voting for candidates who also support these healthy policies and are not influenced by special interest corporations whose main goal is profit.
• By walking the talk, using our economic power, and living a healthy lifestyle.
