Mycobacterium vaccae is in the same genus as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (that causes tuberculosis) and Mycobacterium leprae (that causes leprosy).
However, M. vaccae is not pathogenic. But it may be close enough to stimulate the immune system to act against the others.
Importantly, both tuberculosis and leprosy are very slow diseases, relatively speaking, reproducing only about once a day, unlike other bacteria that can typically reproduce about each half hour. This is why it can take drugs that treat them half a year or more to have a positive effect.

There was a show on PBS back in the 80’s or early 90’s.
It was about communal living, get back to the soil, that kind of stuff.
There was a collective farm of sorts in Virginia, I think. They had some interesting habits raised all (or most) of there own food, raw unpasteurized goat or cows milk, whatever.
But each week they would have a special salad - once a week, they would make a salad and sprinkle dirt on it. Well, not dirt exactly, just garden soil.
Results?? They NEVER got sick. EVER!

That’s referred to in the vernacular as “hog heaven”!

Great thread! Back to Eden!

Aside from tetanus, anthrax, botulism, gas gangrene, camplobacter, and quite a few fungal diseases, no problem.
and all these back to nature types should work a few years in a primitive environment to see how stupid their claims are.

A farm in Wisconsin is primitive enough for me, though I, too, am rarely sick. I’ve spent most of my life in the dirt, either with the Army or in my garden.
Works for me. :)

This isn’t related to getting ploughed though, another old remedy. Thanks Diana in Wisconsin.
