Lucinda Bailey from Texas Ready reveals nutrient-based method to SUPERCHARGE...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighttown.com.
This is kind of an emergency interview because of what's happening in North Carolina.
People are dying.
There are thousands that have already died.
There's a massive cover-up by the corporate media and the government.
And Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary, just banned drone flights to make sure that nobody gets any footage of the devastation.
I mean, we are dealing with a government that has been weaponized against rural America.
That is... Actually what's going on.
But we're joined today by Lucinda Bailey.
She's from TexasReady.net and she is an expert in growing food that's highly nutritious using specific methods and specific mineral supplements and among other things to have high nutrient density food.
Food self-reliance is absolutely critical in this time for all of us.
So welcome Lucinda.
It's great to see you again. It's been a while, but it's nice to have you back on.
Well, it's great to be back on your show, Mike, and this is such a timely message.
This week has had a lot of things internationally as well as in our own culture that behoove us to be equipped, knowledgeable, proficient at growing all the food that our family could possibly need and making sure that it's nutrient-dense while we're at it.
Absolutely. This is why I appreciate what you teach so much.
I met you a couple of years ago at the Exit and Build Land Summit and was so grateful to be able to meet you there and find out about what you offer.
And just for the record, at your website, you have the Liberty Seed Supply.
You've got seed supplies of various kinds here.
You've got educational material.
You've got online courses and workshops.
You've also got, I think...
You're the author of the book that you gave me then, right?
No, I'm not actually an author of a book.
We recommend two major books.
The Midlighter Garden Course.
That's the one. How to Effectively Grow 4,400 Pounds of Food on a Twentieth of an Acre.
And it's really, the science behind it is similar to Dirt Hydroponics.
So a lot of us that are sustainable are very open to hydroponics, except in a down economy, no electricity, limited budget.
You don't have time to go to the hardware store and get all the repairs that come out of a hydroponic system.
Right. Got to do it yourself.
And the power grid's down in all these affected regions.
Hydroponics, typically all those pumps and everything, you know, of course they don't work when the grid's down.
That is correct. But worse than that, Mike, is even if they were working, a hydroponics system is not good for high-calorie production.
You're going to be good on your tomatoes, your watermelon, and so forth.
And you can get probably 150, 180 calories a day per person out of your hydroponics garden.
That's not very much. No, it isn't.
And typically anything that grows above ground does well under hydroponics.
That's great. But we do have a couple of problems.
Pony Express could possibly not deliver your next batch of chemistry for your hydroponics.
They have liquid supplements that you put in the water that feed the plant roots, etc.
So what are you going to do then?
Because it's not going to be available at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc., etc.
So we teach people to stockpile everything that they're going to need.
And in our view, you ought to be planning for about five years of disruption.
I'm a little bit more conservative, but you can have one of our mineral, trace mineral packets, This is good for a family of four, 4,400 pounds of food.
That's a one-year supply.
Hold that up closer to the camera in the center because we couldn't quite read it.
Like, put it right over the camera.
There we go. Now we can see it.
Trace element, nutrient packs.
Okay. Right. Got it.
Because you think about it.
If you fail to give your children vitamin C, just one element, they're going to end up with scurvy.
You fail to give them the proper vitamin D, they're going to end up with rickets.
Just one element.
That's right. Now, Plants require 17 basic elements, and these are things that all organic farmers know what we're talking about.
Every ag school teaches this, except the ag graduates go and work on 5,000-acre ranches.
It's the backyard gardener who wonders why, gee, I bought designer dirt at $30 a linear foot for myself.
My garden, that's what it costs today.
Wow. And, you know, that's about $4,000 to feed a family of four.
And why isn't my garden growing year two?
Well, it's like your garden is a bank of nutrition.
And your previous tomato plants have withdrawn, you know, all the nutrition.
So we teach people to provide nutrition to the plants when they need it, How they, in the format that they need it, and in a regular basis.
And it's not very expensive.
A five-year supply would cost $100 of these trace elements.
And you can get all that on, you know, the internet that we have, our website.
TexasReady.net. TexasReady.net.
Okay, let me ask you. I'm sorry.
You want to finish that thought? I was going to say, because some of these elements, manganese, boron, they are very tight mathematical formulas in order to get your high-density food and top production.
And we teach you all of that.
It's so simple.
You are going to mix this up with NPK that you access locally at Lowe's, Home Depot, your feed store, whatever.
And you're going to be able to top-dress your plants so that they can grow to the maximum that God has created that seed to be capable of doing.
And all the math has been figured out, thank goodness.
We have a chart that's laminated.
It comes in all of our kits.
And I'm going to show you a little bit...
Okay, hold on, Lucinda. Let me ask you.
The trace mineral-treated crops...
In your experience, how much higher output of food will they produce versus just a crop that doesn't have these trace minerals?
Okay, so when I compete against organic farmers, and this is an organic approved method by the way, but when I compete with the standard organic farmer, we will double their production.
And we know what that production is going to be for all the different 70 varieties that are in our kits.
And for example, if you were going to desire to have green beans, Once a week for your family of four, that is going to require about 52 different, you know, pints of green beans.
And so in our chart, let me show you that chart.
So this chart shows you exactly should you use bush beans or pole beans to get those 52 servings.
All right. Well, we find out that on a 30-foot row, which is the standard mitt lighter row, you're going to get, right here, it has a column for expected production, 70 pounds from one garden bed.
You will need 240 seedlings in order to accomplish that.
It's going to take you six weeks once the seedling is in the ground, and you will be able to do a harvest right over here in three weeks.
You can get that 70 pounds, right?
In three weeks?
Yeah, well, three weeks when it's in harvest mode, okay?
It's going to be six weeks until it goes to harvest, and then you take the six weeks, add it to the three weeks of harvest for the total time that crop is going to be in your garden.
And so that's so helpful to be able to back-engineer.
Mama wants, you know, a serving of green beans every week, a family of four.
How many green bean plants am I going to do?
Nobody knows.
The Mitleiter method is the only method that will allow you to back-engineer just exactly what your family needs.
Wow. So you've really broken this down to the science of kind of paint by number almost.
It's just follow these steps.
And let's just point out here, a lot of our listening audience are canners, right?
And so we've got bush beans or pole beans.
By the way, this column shows some things that Americans are typically not doing.
We would be able to eat one leaf per plant Each week.
One leaf per plant per week.
Okay? Now, you don't want a whole bowl of, you know, pea leaves, bean leaves, etc.
But they are edible. And so just add them to the other things that you're doing for your greens.
This column will say, should I start it directly in the dirt or should I do a seed tray?
Well, you can do either. They're beans.
Uh-huh. You're going to put it a half inch in the ground deep.
You want to have...
You want the bush beans to be three inches apart.
You're going to do two rows of those.
You will need 240 healthy seedlings in order to accomplish the goal of 70 pounds.
Now, I assume this is only part of the chart.
Is there another page to this thing?
There's another page. There's another page so that we get all 70 vegetables that are in the kit.
Okay, and then do people download the chart or buy the chart, the laminated version?
They can order it.
It's a $5 item, laminated and so forth.
Or it comes automatically in each of our seed banks.
I see. So we're going to encourage people to get a seed bank.
And the most basic reason that they need a seed bank is...
Hybrids are some of the major seeds that are sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Kmart, Walmart, etc., etc., some feed stores.
And you're not getting the heirloom seeds.
The hybrids are only good for one garden.
There are three very poor options if you do have a hybrid.
The next year's garden, 50% of those seeds, seed types, will not even germinate.
Right. That's not a good outcome.
No, our audience is very much aware.
Got to have heirloom non-GMO seeds, non-hybrid seeds.
Excellent. Yes. Okay.
So we're beyond that.
So we need to have the heirloom seeds, which is the only kind of seed that we sell.
Okay, great. So Lucinda, you can stop the screen share now.
Thank you. Yeah, don't forget that.
But here's what I want to say, too, that right now...
America is witnessing the fact that FEMA has spent all of its money on illegal immigrants.
There's no money left for Americans.
The American people are being abandoned.
I mean, it's infuriating, actually.
And also, our government just sent $8 or $9 billion to Ukraine, another $8 or $9 billion to Israel, half a billion to Taiwan, nothing for Americans.
So, you know, what's the message from the government?
You are on your own.
And also the message from the government is, we hate you, we hope you die, but, you know, that's a different topic.
You are on your own.
We are on our own.
Nobody is coming to help except your neighbors, maybe your church, you know, your friends, the American people are going to help, but not the government, not FEMA, not even the National Guard is being deployed in sufficient numbers.
So we're on our own, aren't we, Lucinda?
Absolutely. And you know what?
Even if everything was peachy keen and our society was under control, which is totally out of control, but if it were a great day, it's still a wise idea to grow your own food.
First of all, you know what's going into that food.
You know, I don't use pesticides.
So we train you to go as pesticide-free as possible.
Pesticides will sometimes, I mean, they will infiltrate every cell of a cucumber.
Right. That's right. Under certain conditions.
So just because you wash the outside of the skin, that doesn't mean that you've eliminated the problems.
Also, it's a great place for kids to learn science and learn, you know, God's creative, amazing, you know, blessings.
And, gee, you saved money.
I mean, I went to Walmart just recently and I wanted to look at their beet prices.
I was laughing because I put five cents of beet seed in the ground and yet it would turn
up three dollars of cost at a Walmart.
I mean, it's a tremendous way to save by growing your own food.
So I don't see any downside.
You've spent some time with some cool people.
You've enjoyed your family.
You got better food tasting because you're going to be pulling it fresh.
It won't have time to decay.
You're pulling it that night, 15 minutes later, it's in your cook pot and now your nutrition
is about 50% higher.
These are statistics that come out of the University of Pennsylvania.
They're very into nutrition and that kind of thing.
Well, there's no downside whatsoever.
And you have food resilience.
Because here's the thing that's also happening in North Carolina.
FEMA is...
Well, in Tennessee, the state agency is texting people and saying...
Don't help your neighbors. Leave it to us.
We're going to be the ones.
And they also say, but we're not going to go to anybody where the roads are out.
Those are the people that need the help, is the ones where the roads are out.
But they say there's no help coming for those people.
So you've got people on hilltops and mountaintops and in valleys that were connected by bridges and roads, and those bridges and roads are just gone.
But a lot of these people still have their garden plot.
If they had one, it's still there.
They still have a yard.
They still have a house.
No electricity, obviously. But if they had a garden...
They could be eating out of that garden, whatever is in season, or if they had canned food, or they could continue, they could sprout right now, they could sprout and produce some sprouts in a few days.
I mean, this provides resilience in a time when, depending on centralized systems to save you, is very foolish.
Your thoughts? Absolutely.
And you know, you think about World War II, the Victory Gardens, everybody's heard about those.
And that was the day and time when in the backyards, women and children produced 50% of the agriculture in all of America.
So it's not like this is an impossible situation.
Think about the pioneers.
Those families had to rely on a handful of seeds from the husband's side and a handful of seeds from the wife's side, and off they went.
That's really where the term heirloom seeds, it was a wedding gift.
And then these seeds would have to be used for the rest of their marriage to provide for their family, and they did it.
I take my hat off to these Pioneer Women without chainsaws and John Deere tractors.
We have it so easy.
So I just say get off the couches, quit watching the television for the Monday Night Football, and let's do something that really is going to matter.
We do. We have so many resources available to us now that our ancestors did not have, and yet they managed to survive.
And it was not easy.
So let me mention your website again, texasready.net.
You've got Liberty Seed Banks.
You've got the chart.
You've got courses and much more.
Here's, what is this, the lockbox for four adults.
So the purpose of the varying sizes of seed banks that you're illustrating right here is that if you buy seed for four people, that's nice, and most people don't even know.
They buy a packet of seeds.
They have no idea how many people that's going to feed.
I know that. I'm an agronomist.
But if you have eight people show up, because out of the goodness of your heart, you're taking in, you know, the college kid and the boyfriend and the couple across the street and so forth.
But you only have seed for four people.
Now you all, eight, get to starve equally.
Right. So we want you to think ahead.
The very first question we ask people is, how many people are coming to dinner?
And once you establish that, then you know what size seed bank to buy.
You'll see behind me different sizes.
So this would be for a family of four.
This one right here is a family of two.
It's an ammo can. It's going to have a seal so that no water and moisture will get in.
You've got 70 varieties.
Everybody gets 70 varieties, 70 plus varieties.
The quantity of the seed will differ based on the size group that you're trying to feed.
So we have a 2 person, 4 person, 6 person, 12, and a 30.
Oh my God, the church is here.
Size kit.
Each kit, the bigger kits will come with some books because we feel like we want to bonus
you and so forth.
And we are ready.
We do not have to get any shipments in to make this happen for you.
You order today.
It'll be in the mail tomorrow.
We are packed.
We are all packaged up.
All we need is your mailing address and it can be in your hands.
Well, Lucinda, I am personally, in fact, I want to talk to you after this show, I want to purchase hundreds of pounds of your trace minerals to have those on hand because that's just as important as stockpiling gold and silver and anything else.
Absolutely. That's like future food.
It's just like I consider really good compost to be black gold, you know?
I understand. Yeah, because that's like a food battery.
I can turn that into edible food very quickly.
Well, that's true. Now, the only problem that I have with compost, and I love pretty dirt, just like the next person, is that you could never tell me between batches of making this compost, how much manganese do you have in there?
No, that's true. That depends on the inputs.
Absolutely, but there's no way that you're going to be able to, you might be, because you have a wonderful lab, but the average backyard gardener will not be able to tell me, hey, do I have too much boron?
See, boron is a tricky little element.
It's required for seed production.
So four to six parts per million is the requirement for boron.
At seven parts per million, it's toxic to the plant.
So there are tight parameters to make it happen in the best way.
And so, yeah, I understand composting.
It does have its drawbacks.
And composting takes, you know, several months, you know, to make it happen.
Absolutely. And water.
And so we can get you, I mean, you're not going to be eating a lot in 28 days, but you can have radishes, you can have your lettuces and so forth.
The benefit with the Mitleiter system, another benefit is that the plants finish out their cycles quicker because they're getting everything that they need.
on a daily basis.
So you top dress on Monday, you water it in, and by the week, all that top-dressed plant nutrition
is in the root zone.
And most people know that plants only receive nutrition in a liquid water-based delivery system.
And so that's why we have pressurized water systems to put the chemistry, put the nutrition
in the root zone right away.
So it's, you know, the average gardener, you know, supplements, amends, you know, provides plant nutrition at the beginning of the garden, but then they don't amend the rest of the year.
And that'd be equivalent to a mother giving a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, A great New Year's spread, but the rest of the time she allows her children to eat junk food.
That is not a good mother.
And that's how most people garden, actually.
And so what we do is provide, at every step of the way, plant nutrition that that plant can immediately access and utilize.
And so that's why the plants can finish so much quicker.
This is critical information.
And by the way, I want to use your method in the spring here in Texas.
I really want to put it to use, and I think we're ready to do that.
In the meantime, I mean, we encourage everybody to grow your own food, to be redundant, to be self-reliant.
But you know, Lucinda, there's something else here.
This is about hands-on skills.
We were talking about this off camera, but...
For a lot of these foods, like quinoa and legumes and rice and what have you, you still do need to be able to boil water, which means you need a container, you need a little fire or a camp stove.
Some people still have gas, like a gas stove that's working, even though the power is out, but their gas stove is working.
So they're in good shape.
But, of course, the government's trying to ban gas stoves everywhere.
But practical skills are critical in this.
That's why I love gardening. You learn so much.
But Your comments on that, Lucinda?
I would totally agree. And just on the way over here, I thought about, well, okay, if you're late to the party, God only expects you to do what you can do.
And now that you're awake, I'm going to give you a four-part strategy to get the most out of every day to make it happen.
Because we don't want to live in fear.
Fear is not of God.
We want to live in faith.
We want to do our part, however.
We're in partnership with God.
And so we say that every day you do the most urgent thing.
You do one thing to advance your food production.
That might not be the most important thing.
So those two items.
And then the next thing is I recommend that you do something for aesthetics.
That might be to plant a beautiful rose that smells fantastic.
To keep your spirits up.
As we prepare for a long-term future of self-sustainability.
And then the fourth thing I recommend you do is do something.
Take a 15-minute mini-vacation.
That might be calling someone that you haven't talked to in five years, might be having a cup of coffee or whatever.
But if you do those four things, you'll have a successful day every day of the week.
And you You know, when I first began this serious trek about sustainability, food production, etc., for my own family, I was overwhelmed.
I was living in fear.
I didn't see anybody around that had the same kind of mindset that I did.
But as I began to...
And I told the Lord, I'm so busy.
I don't have time for this.
I can advance 30 minutes a week.
But... I learned a new skill every week for 50 weeks in a row.
That meant at the end of the year, I had 50 new things that I learned.
And of course, I've augmented that over all these years.
So at this point, I know how to can.
I know how to dehydrate.
I know how to freeze dry.
I know how to start fire about five different ways.
I know how to grow chickens and butcher a cow and all that stuff because I've done it.
And it's a lot harder than the books and the videos will show you, believe me.
But you have to have the right skills, you have to have the right equipment, and you have to have, you know, supplies in order to take care of your, you know, animals if you're going to go that route.
And I would recommend you do that if you're going to get the protein requirements that your body's going to need to keep you healthy.
And I think another important thing to do in these trying times is learn how to make relationships, bond with people, network with people.
If you don't know the name of your neighbors and so forth, this is something that you need to do this week.
Just go knock on their door.
And we just need to start working together.
Texans, when When those terrible Bastrop fires were coming through, FEMA shows up a week late.
But I understand that over 200 churches were working together to meet the needs of their fellow citizens.
And what joy that, you know, brings.
And they told the FEMA boys, pack up, take your clipboards, take your hard hats, and we don't need you.
We're Texans. And I think that's the kind of mentality that we have got to have.
Well, I agree with you.
Those are the 2011 fires you're referring to, the Lost Pines fires, and they were devastating.
Yeah, third worst fire in America.
Unbelievable. And yeah, FEMA, we saw all those contractors swept into central Texas.
They were just... I mean, yes, they helped, but it was the paychecks for a lot of those out-of-state contractors.
They were there for the paychecks.
And FEMA was writing checks and saying we're helping people, but they really weren't doing the right things that were needed.
It was the local the ministries the churches the local people the first responders locally that were actually
doing Achieving the most results and and now FEMA is far worse
off than it was in 2011 FEMA is doing
Essentially nothing good in North Carolina right now at least that's my understanding and we are hearing reports
that there are thousands of dead Thousands of dead and there are children being discovered
walking around crying for their parents and their parents are dead
swept away. That's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking.
The water came so quickly, it flash flooded people out of their homes, killed them, washed them up into the high branches of the trees, and then when the water receded, bodies were found in the trees.
And this can happen so fast.
This is part of my message to America, is that the infrastructure that you think is, that you can count on, roads, fuel, electricity, cell phone service, water, municipal water, these services can be gone like that.
Like that. And even, you know, to get biblical, in Revelation, that city, the great Babylon, the great harlot, Destroyed in an hour.
In an hour. And even God promises that wrath will come like a thief in the night.
No one will know.
If you are not prepared in advance for what's coming, whether it's biblical or whether it's a hurricane or a biblical hurricane, you know, whatever it is, if you're not prepared in advance, you are not going to do well in what's coming.
And I'm not trying to I'm trying to help people get prepared but there's a sense of urgency now that has to be obvious to people.
Lucinda, are you hearing more people talk about this in light of what's happening in North Carolina?
Absolutely. I have had quite a number of serious phone calls where people are breaking down on the telephone this week.
And having been through, you know, that fear cycle myself, I mean, that's generally where people start.
But it's starting, you're in fear because you don't have preparations, you don't have your skill set where it needs to be, and so forth.
And that's why I'd say, look, just start.
Start with something you can actually do.
Put a new skill in your toolkit every day, and it doesn't take a long time.
So we're coming a little bit late to the party if we haven't done any preparations at all, but it's still possible to advance and to bring comfort to your family.
And that's what we need to do.
So you start with a food foundation, which is your backyard garden.
Then you're going to graduate to berries, like blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, those kind of things.
They're going to produce and throw off in two to three years.
Then you advance to orchard, okay?
And so you don't start with orchard because it's a five-year cycle before you actually get your first good crop of lemons.
So we just...
We operate out of risk and reward, and the reward is so much better if you just have that garden in.
Now we go to the next most risky thing, etc., etc.
Now we start with learning water bath canning.
Very simple. You can do that with just a big pot on your cookstove.
Then we learn how to dehydrate and store, store properly.
And being that I'm in the Gulf Coast and Houston, you know, moisture is a big problem.
So dehydration is only going to be good for three to five years.
Then will you make an investment?
Freeze drying. Okay, yeah, it's a significant investment, but your food's going to last 25 years with 95% nutritive retention.
So there's some real value in having access to a freeze dryer.
And Texas Ready can help you with that as well.
All these different things.
I learned how to can meat.
Who knew that you can take salmon or you can take tuna or you can take, you know, elk or beef that you've butchered on your own property?
And go ahead and you can put that away for three years, four years by doing, you know, a different kind of canning.
It's not water bath canning.
It's going to be pressure canning.
Well, we have those machines right here at Texas Ready, and we would love to get those to your hands.
Now, the interesting thing is, back before COVID hit, about a week before, the Lord told me, things are coming, you know, you need to get a seed order.
And I made a rather substantial tractor trailer, half a tractor trailer load or something, you know, it was a big order of seeds, only to, you know, find out that, you know, you couldn't, the government had shut down seed purchases in such, you know, wonderful places as Michigan, etc.
So you just never know what Big Brother is going to do.
So I would say it's time to get your seeds.
Now, if you say, well, I'm just going to go to Lowe's Home Depot, feed store, whatever, I remind you we're in the holiday season and you're going to have shining lights and twinkling little whatever's around, but you're not going to have seed racks.
And the seed racks in my neck of the woods are only seasonal.
So you're not getting the full cycles.
And so, you know, I don't really want to delay this part of food production.
I don't want to be negligent and not have seeds because in a crunch, skip the peanut butter aisle and go to the seed rack.
But I don't want to be fighting with a bunch of people with packets on the floor, you know, from my neighbors and my HOA. Which is, you know, I can easily see that happening.
No kidding. Your hard-shelled seeds, peas, beans, corn, etc., doesn't work that great for your herbs and your lettuces and your fragile, more fragile seeds, because there still will be 8-10% of water moisture in the hull, and freezing will expand that and decrease your germination.
So we have found that 40 degrees is the ideal temperature to store your seeds.
That's the cranky refrigerator for beer and parties in the garage.
But in any event, if you don't have electricity, utilities, etc., you dig a hole, make it about two to three feet, put a cooler in there, put your seed bank in there, that's going to be a standard 68 degrees and so forth, and that's the best you can do without air conditioning.
So there are ways to handle this, and we just want to help you at all ways.
Another thing that Texas Ready offers that I don't think anybody else does is, first of all, we grow all the stuff that you guys are going to be, you know, getting in your seed bank.
And so we're not giving you anything different than we would give to our own families.
So we've had experience doing it.
We have the best breeds, the most dependable breeds, you know, in those kits.
But the other thing that we offer is after you have gone through the internet course, which is 10 hours plus of samples, it takes a class.
50% are experienced gardeners and growers and the other 50% have never had dirt under their fingernail.
That's the class. In that class, we show you how to do all the things, how to take the seedling and what's the proper depth to put that seedling in a garden.
Don't put it out when it's one inch.
We want it six inches in those little pots.
We show you when to harvest your beans and so forth.
We just take you through A to Z, but it's a visual because we know people right now are visual learners.
Let me interrupt you there, because I have an idea, and I apologize to just hit you with this spontaneously, but I want to help connect you with our audience on an ongoing basis.
I've got a website called rangerdeals.com.
I would be happy to list you there on a permanent basis, and normally what vendors do is they offer some kind of a discount code or something.
Absolutely. Can you offer some kind of a discount code?
I am the bean planter, and Kurt is the bean counter, and he's shaking his head with a thumbs up over there.
Apparently, we're going to do something with you, Mike.
Okay, we're going to do something. So here's what we'll do.
Make the discount code the word RANGER. Tell me what that discount is going to be and what link you want me to use.
I'll tell my team to put it up on rangerdeals.com.
We'll get it up there. I'll tell people about it.
We've got to connect people with you.
Also, again, off camera, I want to purchase a large amount of the trace minerals from you.
Absolutely. We can make that happen.
The other thing that we do, if you're...
We have people driving two hours for this, but I offer a free hands-on garden class every week, every Wednesday, from 8.30 to 11.30.
Then sometimes we go out, you know, it's like-minded people, so we'll go and fellowship and have a lunch together, not a requirement, just an option.
But that way, you learn a new skill, you teach to the other people in the group, and then
we make corrections.
And it's all hands-on, so you're going home with product that you yourself have done your
seed trays or learned how to harvest and so forth.
So it's a real practical, and it gets you, we've had people do this for three and a half
years and they're still learning new things every time.
We're also learning to be, we call it being a shepherd, where you now can duplicate your life in the garden with the brand new people coming in, and you take them by the hand and you befriend them and give them hope.
So that is one thing that we do every Wednesday.
The thing that I love about growing food, too, is it builds moral character.
It really does. Number one, it's humbling.
Because if you think, if you're like some arrogant Wall Street person, like, I rule the world with my bank account, you know, and you come in to the garden, the garden's going to humble you, number one.
It can happen.
Right. It will happen.
Yes. You're like, what happened?
And then secondly, it teaches you to respect God's schedule.
That's right. And yes, you can perhaps enhance that with the right minerals as you talk about.
You can harvest earlier and harvest more.
But you can't just produce green beans in three days by working ten times as hard.
There's a cycle.
You have to have patience.
You have to work with nature.
You can't just try to dominate nature.
That doesn't function. So it builds more character, which is what we need.
We do. And we started in the garden and we will end up in the garden if we play our cards right and align ourselves with God's purposes while we're here.
I love that verse in Revelation where it says that the overcomers were those that...
They acknowledge the blood of the Lamb.
That's Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
And it was their word of their testimony.
So they're explaining to others the hope that they have within them.
And they love not their lives unto death.
So those three things are a victorious life.
And what I really love about that is that's a sacrificial life.
It's a fulfilling life.
It's a character-building life.
And that's what we need to get back to.
Well absolutely.
And I would add what I love about what the Bible teaches about food is that God's blessings are so often described as fruits, grapes, the vine.
And by the way, I believe that the grape vine, the real one with the seeds and the skins and the stems and the leaves, all of that, I think that's one of the greatest gifts from God.
There are so many natural medicines in grapes with resveratrol and the proanthocyanidins and the seeds, so much more, that It's no wonder.
I think that's the first fruit mentioned in Genesis is the vine.
There's about 26 all together in that first description of the produce that God's expecting us to enjoy.
Yeah, and these are blessings.
Healing to the nations, right?
The leaves of the plants are healing to the nations.
That's right. And so, you know, that's your life story right there.
Yeah, absolutely. And it's funny too, because, I mean, we go through so many examples, but even when the stars fall on earth as part of God's wrath, and it even says, like figs falling from the shaking of a fig tree, you know, it even brings in, like, when your fruit harvest is good, Your civilization is good.
When your fruit harvest is falling away, things are not so good for your civilization.
That makes sense.
That makes sense. Yes.
These are the blessings of God.
And Lucinda, I want to thank you so much for appearing today.
I really greatly appreciate what you're bringing to the world.
And is there anything else you want to add to the end of this before we wrap this up?
Well, Kurt and I both feel that the very first preparation people need to be doing is spiritual preparation.
The second is food.
And your food security comes before your physical security because you're not going to be able to eat your guns and bullets.
And there's going to be many more people that are hungry than are marauding around.
We believe that self-defense is very important.
That's true. But if you cannot feed yourself, you might be tempted to do things that you wouldn't normally find yourself doing.
So we need to be the leaders.
We need to help our neighbors, our family, and our extended churches and so forth.
And that means that we need to be disciplined and God will do his part.
We do our part. Well said.
I love what you just said there.
And also in North Carolina, there's a report of one of the regional hospitals where people are showing up with guns and stealing food.
So that's happening there right now.
It doesn't take long.
And I've had other experts on that talk about, you know, there's a timeline of what people do after so many days of starvation.
And then when it becomes weeks of starvation and so on.
And all morality breaks down when people are hungry.
There's nothing they won't do to eat.
So you're right. You've got to be food self-reliant, but also be able to protect your food.
And then be generous enough to share with those you can, but to understand that boundary also.
It's like, I'm willing to help and share as many, to help as many as I can, but I'm not going to let marauders come in and loot the place and take everything.
Right. So, that's discernment right there.
People have to know where that boundary is.
So, Lucinda, anything else you want to add?
I think that's good. I just thank you guys for all the hard work that you are doing at your company and bringing hope to many people.
I'm especially excited about this food delivery that you're going to be doing, and you'll be hearing from Kurt and I in the future about that as well.
Okay, outstanding. I will be in touch with you.
I'll probably reach out to you tomorrow if you're available to see if we can have a conversation about getting some of your trace minerals and then also to get the final details on whatever discount that you're going to offer to our readers.
And thank you for that. Whatever you're going to do, I'm sure it'll be well appreciated.
I'm so glad we connected with you.
And feel free to reach out anytime if we can help you or if you can help with our mission or, you know, It's a two-way street.
We'll help each other. It is. Absolutely.
Thank you, Mike. Appreciate it.
Thank you, Lucinda. God bless. God bless.
All right. Take care. And for those of you watching, I hope you enjoyed this interview.
Just incredible wisdom there from Lucinda.
So be sure to take advantage of that resource at texasready.net.
And, you know, your window, if you're not already growing food, the time to learn to do it really is right now.
And if you're in North America, And you might say, well, maybe it's too late to plant.
It's not actually too late to plant in some areas.
But if you're up north, maybe it is.
But you could use this winter to learn.
You could take Lucinda's courses.
You could learn so that when the spring comes, then you're ready to get into action.
And you can prepare infrastructure.
There's certain tools you need. There's certain irrigation that you need.
And, you know, do you have a good wheelbarrow?
Do you have a good garden wagon?
You know, people are running out of wagons.
And buckets in North Carolina right now.
They're begging for buckets and wagons because they need to carry water around.
People used to tease me when I'd say, you need buckets.
And they're like, what are you talking about?
Trust me, when there's no power, you're going to find out how many buckets you need.
It'll come to you. But thank you for watching today.
Take advantage of all this information.
Get yourself squared away. I'm Mike Adams of Brighteon.com, and we appreciate you and all of your support.
Take care. Thank you for your support at healthrangerstore.com where together we raise over half a million dollars in food aid for the storm victims.
Some loads have gone to North Carolina and others were preparing for Florida, but over half a million dollars in certified organic lab-tested food.
And now we've got back in stock at the Health Rangers store turmeric.
Show what I've got on my desk here.
We've got turmeric powder. And this turmeric root powder, which is lab tested, normally a lot of turmeric root powder has high lead in it.
Of course, we do the laboratory testing to make sure that it doesn't.
And so you've got super clean turmeric root powder, certified organic, available once again, brand new batch, very difficult to find.
Plus, we've got collagen peptides in stock, both plain and chocolate flavored collagen peptides.
All those formulations are available now at healthrangerstore.com.
We've got coconut chips coming in and all kinds of things.
Cocoa Love, Cocoa Energize, lots of superfoods, lots of personal care products,
all meticulously formulated and laboratory tested items that are on sale this week.
And by the way, many categories here, supplements, preparedness, personal care, food and beverage, and home care.
Now let me show you too, we've got tinctures of turmeric available right now.
You see the small two ounce tinctures there.
Really amazing formulas.
Delicious. They're in glycerin with a very strong turmeric potency.
They contain all of the constituents that are naturally found in turmeric, including curcumin, which is the critical ingredient that you want to get in.
So many benefits for turmeric.
I can't even mention them all right here, but you can do your research, learn about turmeric.
It can benefit people in so many ways, especially as we gain in years.
You'll find turmeric to be more and more useful in so many ways to help support your natural health.
I have turmeric in my smoothie here every day.
That's why it's a little bit orange. I have chocolate and turmeric and bananas and whey protein and coconut water.
I'm consuming turmeric every single day and I have done so for many, many years.
By the way, you can also, if you want to sprout your own broccoli, you can get some of the similar benefits that turmeric offers or you can grow your own turmeric root.
And then just harvest it and blend it up.
It's always great to make your own superfoods, or you could just get it from us, and we've gone through all the laboratory testing, including E. coli, salmonella, yeast and mold testing, total plate count testing, as well as all the other tests we do.
But for turmeric, lead is the number one contaminant that you typically find across the industry.
Very difficult for us to find clean batches of turmeric, but we have it now.
HealthRangerStore.com. And then finally, let me repeat...
Thanks to your sales support, your purchasing of our products, we have been able to raise over half a million dollars in food donations for the storm victims.
Those trucks are in the process of rolling out.
We're going to be able to help probably tens of thousands of people with these food donations.
We couldn't do it without your support.
And I really want to thank you for that.
I thought maybe we would raise $100,000.
I was shocked when it exceeded $500,000.
And we've got videos from the warehouse and I'll show you more photos as this is all sent out and distributed to people.
It's an amazing thing to experience this level of support from you so that together we can help Americans in need and we can help provide clean food and superfoods and real nutrient density to people who need it.
One of the things about all the food rescue operations in North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida is that mostly what people get is processed junk food.
They get, like, soda and energy drinks and, I don't know, like...
Snack chips and whatever.
I'm thinking, they need real food.
And that's what we specialize in.
So with your help, we're able to get them real food, real nutrition that can sustain them even through the coming winter.
It's going to get cold in North Carolina very soon.
But a lot of people there, thousands of people there are going to have our ranger buckets or our mega buckets of food.
They're going to have nutritious food to help them through the winters.
And God bless those people because they've been financially wiped out by the damage there, by the weaponized weather systems.
Farms are destroyed. Homes are lost.
You know how bad it is. So we're doing everything that we can to help.
But we can't do it without your help.
So help us and also help yourself.
Shop at healthrangerstore.com.
You'll get the cleanest superfoods, the most nutrient-dense, lab-tested, certified organic products.
For health, for storable food, for personal care, for home care.
And you'll help us help those Americans in need who are suffering the devastating effects of weaponized weather systems.
These are very difficult times, but with your help and with God's blessings, we can make it through this together.
So thank you for your support.
