IMO Bath, OHN Tincture, Fermented Cannabis Plant Juice

Guests David and Darla, KNF farmers from Temecula, join Drake to talk about using natural farming for Darla's five-year fight with HER2-positive breast cancer. They watch an IMO soil bath video: getting buried up to the chest in a hot microbial pile raises body temperature above the range certain cancer cells can tolerate, similar to an artificial fever, but the heat comes from microorganisms rather than electricity or fire.

Darla describes her diet and treatment stack: no sugar, gluten, or processed food, heavy green juicing, a stretch as a vegetarian before adding back eggs and salmon for iron, plus sauna, an ozone machine, a Rife machine, colloidal silver, and Rick Simpson oil and indica oil capsules. Drake explains fermented plant juice (FPJ): sugar draws the nutrient-dense juice out of fresh plants through osmosis, leaving toxins behind, and the juice is diluted roughly 1:300 to 1:2000 before drinking, with fresh FPJ better for vitality and aged FPJ better once plants reach reproductive stage.

They cover other KNF solutions for human health: lactic acid bacteria whey for skin and hair, which must be rubbed in rather than just soaked, and OHN, a tincture of garlic, ginger, licorice, cinnamon, and angelica each diluted about 1:1000, with advice to substitute local herbs like wild angelica where the traditional ones don't grow. David and Darla describe fermenting whole cannabis plants, including the roots, into FPJ and then into alcohol tinctures.

Drake shares a story of someone whose leg eczema shrank by half after one IMO bath and cleared after three days of treatment, and explains pile management: keep the pile around 110-115°F, since anything over 130°F favors different microbes, and hydrate heavily with coconut water and minerals during treatment. He also shows a Bionutrient Food Association meter that scored store produce at 75 versus 93 for nutrient-dense, farm-grown produce.

Questions answered

  • 2:22 What made you interested in an IMO soil bath for healing cancer? — David said seeing photos of people healing with soil baths made him want to try one with Darla, who has fought HER2-positive breast cancer for five years.
  • 4:32 How does an IMO soil bath work to help the body? — Being buried in a hot IMO pile creates an artificial fever that raises body temperature above where certain cancer cells survive, while your own cells stay fine.
  • 9:11 How often should you do IMO bath treatments? — Once a pile heats up it stays usable for five to seven days and can be used up to three times a day, then you rest a week before starting a new pile.
  • 13:55 What diet changes help alongside KNF for cancer? — Darla cut sugar, gluten, and processed food, drank green juice, tried vegetarian eating, and added back a little fish and eggs when her iron dropped too low.
  • 20:55 What is fermented plant juice (FPJ) and how does it work? — Sugar mixed with fresh plant material pulls the nutrient-dense juice out through osmosis while leaving toxins behind, and fermentation pre-digests it.
  • 26:36 Is older or fresher FPJ better for human health? — Fresh FPJ is better for vitality and growth, while aged FPJ mellows like wine and works better once plants reach their reproductive stage.
  • 29:30 Can you add FPJ or other KNF inputs to a bath for skin care? — Drake recommended adding FPJ to a warm bath along with skin-healing plants like aloe vera and roses.
  • 32:51 What is lactic acid bacteria good for on skin and hair? — Whey from cultured lactic acid bacteria strengthens hair and clears pathogens, but you have to rub it into skin, not just soak, for it to absorb.
  • 35:29 What is OHN and what's in it? — OHN is Drake's KNF medicine, a tincture of five herbs — garlic, ginger, licorice, cinnamon, and angelica — diluted about one to a thousand each.
  • 38:45 What's the most important mineral for healing, and where do you get it? — Drake pointed to iron, found in beets, spinach, and New Zealand spinach, which Darla juices and eats as salad.
  • 44:06 Can you substitute local herbs when you don't have the traditional OHN herbs? — Find the same or a similar herb growing wild in your area, like wild angelica in Northern California, and use it in the same recipe.
  • 46:39 Can you ferment cannabis, including the roots, into a plant juice? — Yes, people ferment the whole plant including the root after harvest, then add alcohol to pull out different medicinal compounds as a tincture.
  • 50:00 How do you measure nutrient density in homegrown food? — Drake uses a Bionutrient Food Association scanner that tested store-bought produce at about 75 versus 93 for union-farmer-grown produce.
  • 58:29 Has an IMO bath ever helped clear up a skin condition like eczema? — Drake described someone whose leg eczema shrank by half after one IMO bath and was gone after three days of repeat treatments.
  • 1:00:00 What temperature should an IMO pile stay at, and how do you avoid overheating? — Keep the pile around 110-115°F; above 130°F different, unwanted microbes take over, so hydrate well with coconut water and minerals during treatment.
