Time Text
My name is Eric Lancaster from EM America.
What we are is a distributor of effective microorganisms products.
They're a blend of about 13 different species of beneficial bacteria or soil-based microbes including lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria.
They're all behind me here.
We're at the Raw Spirit Festival right now.
We have EM-1, which is the original product that this all started from, the products were developed in Okinawa and have since moved into about 120 countries.
The EM-1 we have here is available at Whole Foods Market.
Whole Foods learned about this through some agricultural products that were grown with the EM-1 in Costa Rica.
What does EM-1 do for people?
What's it used for?
Well, where we have the EM1, we have a couple different labels here.
The EM1, this one, is used in septic systems.
It helps clean up the septic system, keep it flowing better so you don't have backups, like emergency backups.
It also controls odor.
It actually eliminates all the odors.
This EM1 here, we have labeled for soils, for flowers, for composting, general gardening uses.
Then we just have a different size The multi-use product, then we list out about 20 different uses because it deodorizes, it eats grease, then you can use it to cut flowers, it helps cut flowers last longer.
Also cover the basics so people know, you're talking about these are microorganisms in the bottle that have a specific combination in order to Enhance soil nutrition?
Yeah, actually, in soils, what the microbes do is they work together with other beneficial microorganisms in the soil, enhancing their growth.
And the microbes, what they do is they make the nutrients bioavailable, so plants will uptake nutrients better.
It's the missing link in everything, really.
So you need a healthy microbial population, new organic matter in your soils.
And what this also does is by making nutrients available, it allows you to use less fertilizers.
So it's like friendly flora for your soil?
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of like a probiotic for plants, and then you've got the probiotic for your body.
So this one you ingest, it's another version of EM, we call it pro-EM1, so like probiotic for internal consumption.
So again, it's based off of the soil-based microbes idea, because the microbes in here are all soil-based.
When we get back to agriculture, modern farming basically sterilizes the soil, doesn't it, with pesticides and chemicals?
Yeah, yeah.
All the chemicals that are in the air as well kill off the microbial populations in soils.
That's why you end up having hardpan.
So you end up having sterile soils where you'll see a lot of reports on people that there's no worms, there's no beneficial insects, and the soil becomes harder and harder, so they put in more and more chemicals to counterbalance it.
It's kind of like allopathic medicine.
Same idea.
Can you show us some of these products?
This is the EM1. It's a brown liquid because it's fermented with molasses.
The fermentation process, they're fermented with molasses.
Molasses adds in about 40 trace minerals.
And then there's lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria.
Yeast are known to produce all your B vitamins.
So you've got B vitamins in here, you get vitamin A from the photosynthetic bacteria, and then you get all the enzymes that are produced by the microbes.
And so you end up with this antioxidant concoction here with live microbes.
And it's just brown, brown liquid.
What does it smell like?
It's kind of sweet, sour, molasses-y smell.
Okay.
We can't get the phone on you, but...
Yeah, wow.
See, it's just a sweet, sour smell.
It is.
It's just a sweet, sour.
Yeah, so, like, when you take it for, like, if you wanted to deodorize a room, you spray it around, and you get this sweet, sour smell in the room, and then it dissipates.
It's gone in no time, but all the odor is gone, too.
The EM was used after the tsunami.
Where the Thai government ordered this to be sprayed to control the odors from all of the corpses.
And it eliminated odors.
We had the Center for Disease Control call us.
And they're like, what is this stuff?
They wanted to know because it's all microbes.
They got scared.
Four days later, they found out the medical team said, I don't care what it is, spray it.
Yeah, because the idea of actually cleaning smells or cleaning an area with microbes is foreign to many people still.
Oh, yeah.
What we're doing is we're cleaning with antioxidants, where all your other cleaners are oxidizers.
That's why cleaners cause corrosion.
You know, they cause films, they eat things.
This will actually, I mean, this will eat grease and digest waste, but on stone it'll actually clean up anything.
Like if you clean it in a restaurant, it eats the grease up out of the grout and out of the stone, and it eliminates that slippery feel.
So it's eating that, but it's preserving the stone.
I know at the Tree of Life Center in Arizona, they use this in a garden with astounding results.
Can you talk about that?
Well, it's the same principle.
What you're doing is you're making all the minerals in the soil It's available for the plants.
They also do what they call veganic.
They don't use manures.
They use, like you say, green manure.
You would use plants and the nutrients from the plants and the sprouting, and you use the microbes to add in your trace minerals and your vitamins.
And then they also use ocean solution, which adds in your sea salt, which is about, I think it has like 60 or 70 different trace minerals in it as well.
So the microbes What they do is they also keep the salt from sticking.
They'll deionize the salt basically and make the minerals available for the plants.
So you can have all your nutrition in there without adding in manures.
So you don't need any animal manure, so they call it veganic.
Where can people find out more about this or actually purchase the product?
We have a website.
It's emamerica.com.
We're also in a hundred retail stores across the country and getting into more.
Whole Foods Market mainly throughout California, Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and Louisiana.
Awesome.
