It’s Thriving Thursday, #thrivingthursday! Let’s talk about how to thrive in your health, in all aspects!

This is a follow up to keep my promise that I’d share more from the Utah October 2025 Weston A. Price Foundation Conference, when I blogged a recap of the conference here.

The photo above shows four of the speakers at the conference. From l. to r. they are: Josh Bigelsen, Adam Bigelsen, Dr. Samantha Bailey, and Dr. Mark Bailey. I shared the recap that the two Dr. Baileys did of the conference here.

I blogged about the two Bigelsen brothers a bit ago. See over here. They promote the truth that terrain is everything. This is the truth that our nutrition, including our food, our thoughts, and our environment are so important to health. It’s much more important to focus on our terrain than on germs. Some people refer to this as “Terrain Theory” but I call it “The Law of the Terrain.” It’s not a theory, it’s a proven law. It’s illustrated in the Bible as the Parable of the Soil in Matthew 13:1–23. (It’s commonly known as the parable of the sower. I call it the Parable of the Soil because it’s not the sower that makes the different results in the parable, it is the different soils.) It’s the truth that a seed will grow differently according to the medium where it is planted.

In the video below, Dr. Sam Bailey, who met the Bigelsens in person for the first time at the conference, interviews the two brothers. They explain terrain and some of their dad’s involvement in the study of terrain, including blood analysis.

In the video, one of the brothers tells the story of his dad, Dr. Harvey Bigelsen, helping a client. She had hepatitis. When Dr. Bigelsen studied her blood, he found an image of an IUD, a hologram. He asked the client if she had an IUD, and she said yes. He told her he suspected that the IUD was causing the inflammation of the liver, the hepatitis. The IUD was inflaming the uterus, and this inflammation spread to her liver, and was showing up in her blood as a hologram. See the photo below of the IUD, with Dr. Bigelsen, from Dr . Bigelsen’s book. She took out the IUD and her illness went away. This is so amazing!

Conduct your own experiment! Here’s one that I did, below. I took four canning jars and filled them each with a different medium. From left to right: toilet paper, plain old dirt from my backyard, leaves, and then potting soil. Then I added water and a dry pinto bean to each canning jar.

Then I kept the media wet and watched what happened to the bean/seed.

You can see the beans starting to sprout below.

The picture below shows the results about a month later. Which medium, or terrain, is promoting the most growth? Which medium shows the least growth? It’s so interesting that the seed in the toilet paper grew more than the seed in the plain old dirt. Not surprisingly, nothing happened to the seed in the leaves.

I’d love to hear the results of any experiments you do with terrain! Please comment below if you have any results to share.

Below is the definitive book on blood analysis that Dr. Bigelsen wrote. Looks fascinating!
