Magic Wiggler's Water Comparison Heading
 
All waste & chemical materials sprayed into the environment, DO seep into our water resources!
Manure, Fertilizer & Worm Casting Test Jars!

Above you see 3 jars of regular tap water. One ounce of substance was added to each gallon:

1)  Left - Cow Manure (brown)          
2)  Middle - 13-13-13 Fertilizer (pink)
3)  Right - Worm Castings (clear)
         

Why is this important? Because this is what our water looks like when animal manure is sprayed into open crop fields & pastures, then seeps into our water resources: creeks, streams, lakes, rivers, etc.

Manure Test Jar


Water Collection Subheading
The water from our tap is collected from these water resources! Local, state & federal regulations currently allow the spraying of fresh animal manure into open fields & pastures. Animal wastes can not be piled up, because it promotes disease! So how do they dispose of it? They spew it all over our environment. If some mysterious disease pops up (like mad cow disease), instead of it being contained on that farm, it is spread out into the ecosystem for miles around! These are legally acceptable risks to public health!
Their Chemical Solution Subheading
Everything we eat, already has an overload of chemicals:

1)
 Fruits & Vegetables - chemicals sprayed on crop plants & strong commercial fertilizers tilled into the ground


2)
 Meat - livestock & poultry feeds are chemically boosted for fast growth, especially poultry (which could very well account for the high mortality rate [up to 40%] in commercial poultry production)


Then The rains come! All those chemicals & waste materials seep into all our water resources. The treatment plants must then add more chemicals to remove the disease causing pathogens that still remain. If they were not present, there would be no need to treat the water, right? Smell the chlorine in your water sometimes? Does the water from your tap look brown & rusty in color? By the way, Rust is extremely harmful, yet practically all water storage tanks are metal!

One of the ways we try to grow better home gardens it to use a 13-13-13 fertilizer. In our test, it took several hours for the fog to clear in the jar, after 1 ounce of this substance was added. Even then, the water maintained a pink tint.

After several days, the manure jar never did change from its initial color!

When the worm castings were added, we noticed something really cool! Not only did the water remain clear, the castings actually created and/or maintained the oxygen bubbles in the water. Both the other test materials completely depleted all presence of oxygen in their jars.

We breathe oxygen!

Our Soulution Subheading
Man will never outsmart Mother Nature! She has created the ultimate recycling machine in the earthworm! From household garbage to animal waste to sewer waste to nuclear waste, worms can eat it all. Yet, what they poop is black Gold! All types of waste can naturally be recycled into productive, nutrient rich soil, with minimal (if any) man-made chemical intervention necessary. What is considered waste is not waste at all! It is merely material in the wrong place & in the wrong form. This is bad news for the multi-billion dollar chemical companies, but an innovative & natural breakthrough in reversing, maintaining & improving the health & quality of life for every plant & animal on this planet, including humans! Vermiculture expert, Dr. Mario Carrera, said it best:

"Worms never get sick nor do they spread any disease!"

    * Note:  Dr. Carrera is listed in the FAO's (United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization)   "Roster of Experts" in Rome. As an expert, he has conducted extensive research using worms for vermiculture, taught university courses & is a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization) counselor.
   
    ** History Fact:  When Cleopatra reined, anyone who killed a worm was put to death!

Dr. Carrera & others have opened the door to this global market, which is gaining worldwide momentum. Vermicomposting is currently being recognized for its potential to create an avenue in our fight to eradicate world hunger. Not only is worm poop excellent to grow our food, worms themselves are richer in proteins, amino acids & B vitamins than many other sources we currently consume!

Now, if you can't stomach the thought of frying up a pan-o-worms, don't worry, you do not have to. The pharmaceutical industry should be able to extract these natural & important nutrients, to create a dietary supplement, which far exceed the quality & health benefits of the chemical supplements we currently take.

Also, instead of adding fish flour to animal feeds, foods we eat & supplements we take, we should replace it with worm flour! Remember, worms never get sick or spread disease. Recent studies have shown that pollution of all kinds, including the 2 materials used in our test (fertilizer & manure), is getting into our water resources & stays in the meat of fish, especially shellfish. The digestive track of the earthworm removes disease causing pathogens from the materials (food) they ingest. Worms then give us back all the nutrient rich material necessary to sustain health & vitality for every living thing on this planet!

Saving a few rain forests & national parks will not reverse man's chemically destructive holocaust! Chemicals can not repair the damage caused by over population & over cultivation. Earthworms can, not only repair the damage, they can reverse it, as well as help solve other social, economical & medical problems people now face on a global scale!

Earthworms Save Our Planet Subheading
1)  A natural & healthy alternative to spraying potentially harmful materials, especially animal wastes, out into our environment, which seeps into all our water resources & threatens human, animal, plant & aqautic life. Legislation should immediately be enacted to begin a phase-out process, so that within 5 years or as soon as enough worm recycling facilities are available, the spraying of waste materials out in the environment is banned completely!

2)  Replaces the need for so many chemical additives in the soil, which grows all the food we ingest. The correlation between the induction of man-made chemicals into agricultural production, food processing & water purification & the dramatic increase in obesity & other major health problems, is an avenue that demands closer scrutiny. Our very lives depend on getting to the truth! Don't settle for the hype used by billion dollar chemical manufacturers (soil, food, water), who use their money to gain political power & control to monopolize on our right to choose the way our life sustaining food & water is grown & processed.

3)  There are also tremendous amounts of chemicals being released everywhere in our environment, in the name of Pest Control! We all know that the more junk they come up with to kill flies, mosquitos, ants, crop insects, etc., the more these creatures evolve to survive & become even harder to control. Not only do their chemicals not work, they make the problem worse & in some cases create other problems as well.

Worm Tea, a liquid for of natural fertilizer extracted from worm castings soaked in water, could be an answer. It is already known that spraying this liquid on flower & vegetable plants, gives them the nutrients & vitality they need, without compromising environmental health & safety. Think for a moment! We spray for insects that feed on what? Flies breed in masses by feeding on bacteria infested garbage, animal manure & other rotting or decaying matter naturaly occuring in our environment. Mosquitos breed in & around standing water sources, including lakes, ponds, ditches, etc. The bacteria in these standing water sources feeds the young until they are ready to look for our blood. Since flies & mosquitos do not breed in worm castings, further research could provide a natural alternative in controlling disease carrying insects. Since they are a necessary part of the plante's ecosystem, we will never eradicate them. However, by using worms & their by-products to remove the disease causing pathogens, what goes back into the food, water & air is free of disease & oxygen levels are increased. If these insects are not feeding on these pathogens, they are not likely to spread diseases, like they do under the planet's current process of decay, due to natural, but mostly man-made waste in all forms. Millions are spent on research to create and/or improve chemical methods they already know are slowly killing our planet & everything in it! I don't agree that minimal amounts are not dangerous, I feel any chemical added, other than those naturaly present, is too much!  

To monopolize any industry is suppose to be illegal. Yet, the chemical companies get away with it. Remember Bill Gates & how he was accused of monopolizing the desktop software market? It cost him millions, because he was the only one who was able to create a stable desktop environment & put computers in people's home. What did he do wrong? What is the difference with the chemicals? The monopolizers currently use up to 95% or more of the local, state & federal research funding every year. Yes, it very well may be a quicker cheaper fix, because it is the only prodominant choice. Still, what they don't tell you is that this process is has increased the speed at which our planet is being stripped of all its life giving ability, nearly ten fold! If we don't fight for the right to affordably choose very soon, there will be no turning back. Laws should require that an equal share of all funding be used to research natural & environmentally safer solutions. Availability to choose & the demand that creates, dictates price! If just as many people are using natural solutions as chemical solutions, it would cost about the same for either. Keeping the public in the dark about the long term effects are the key to controlled success.

4) Worms are disease free & can be consumed in their natural form or their valuable nutrients can be consumed through the use of natural supplements, such as flour & liquid, with the promise of (pill, powder and/or liquid) forms of their protein, amino acids & B vitimins for human consumption.  Worm flour is higher in these nutrients than the commonly used fish flour. Fish ingest the same pollutants in our water resources that humans do. Like us, their digestive track can not breakdown these pollutants like worms do!

Conclusion Subheading
Our planet is at a dangerous crossroads! We have nothing to losse, but everything to gain. Tons of research has already been done to prove the benefits of many new methods mentioned here. Others, show so much promise, they must be researched further. One thing is crystal clear:

We cannot keep our current path & survive!

The health benefits are undeniable! This creates an economic demand, which can result in a whole new job & business ownership industry for the more common, less educated percentage (40-65) of the U.S. popultaion alone. By creating completely new divisions & areas of study, even the medical, scientific & agricultural industries already in place, can experience growth & job expansion. More & more farmers are joining the welfare & unemployment lines, because the chemical alternative is doing more harm than good & they can no longer afford to keep their soil productive. There is no economic growth currently available for them. Social relationships can dramatically improve, because we will, in less time, diminish (if not eradicate) world hunger, unemployment & welfare burdens. The nutrients found in worms & their by-products hold increbible promise for the poorest parts of our globe & can create a positive international impact, by reducing the world-wide food debt in a safe & healthy manner.

The poor & underprivileged have been exploited long enough! Public misconception in the value & necessity of worms nearly cost us our farm completely. An attack on our livelihood by one neighbor & his father, prompted them to interfere with our food supplier, within weeks of Magic Wiggler's internet launch. They complained to our supplier that the manure we had been feeding our worms for nearly a year, was suddenly causing them excessive flies problems. By the time we could provide them written proof from the State Entomologist that this accusation was totally without any merit, they had destroyed our relationship with the supplier. We were suddenly faced with an inadequate food supply for our size farm & lost over 90% of our stock as a result.  It is time something is done to prevent further such attacks & creating public awareness is the key! We have all been forced to endure less than adequate health & quality in our lives. Every voice counts! Call, write or email your local, state & federal representatives. Request public notification & publication of current evidence on the benefits of vermiculture & dangers of chemical deprivation to our ecosystems. Natural vs Chemical should be equally represented! Ask that the truth be made public, natural earthworm alternatives be enacted into law & research into social, health & economic impacts be funded with your tax dollars, instead of it all going into earth's slow demise through the use of chemicals. We, the public, have a right to choose & it is our lawmakers responsibility to ensure everything which can be done, is being done for the benefit of us ALL, not the few!


Happy Worming!

Have A Magic Wiggler Day!

Need more than our word worms are magical little creature? We have provided 2 links to sites we feel are informative. The first site has a cute little introduction page & then several links to more info at the bottom. The second link is another worm business site that has some pretty fascinating stuff too.
