Rebuilding Our Soil
June 5, 2025
By Catherine Austin Fitts
What with glyphosate, PFAS chemicals, wind turbine debris, and a myriad of other soil contaminants, it is easy to become depressed about the state of our soils. In this interview, Pat Miletich of Soil Saviors—a private ministerial association—explains that even under these seemingly dire conditions, it is possible to bring soil back to life in a dramatic and lasting fashion.
Miletich works in partnership with Soil Saviors pioneer Dr. Wil Spencer, who has spent years developing a unique and powerful system to strengthen the vitality of living systems. Together, Spencer and Miletich want to launch a Soil Saviors movement, working with “intelligent, open-minded gardeners, farmers and stewards of the land” to spread the good news of a “root cause” soil health paradigm that uses carefully sourced probiotic microorganisms to break down toxic chemicals, improve nutrient density, increase yields and BRIX ratings, and create an environment inhospitable to pests and weeds.
Spencer and Miletich both grew up in conventional agricultural communities where their exposure to agrichemicals led to significant childhood respiratory challenges. As young adults, they were able to heal those conditions by making the connection between vitality in soils, vitality in food, and vitality in human health. Miletich was so successful in his healing endeavors that he went on to become a North American kickboxing champion, UFC welterweight champion, and black belt in four martial arts, as well as coaching professional athletes and training law enforcement and the military.
After you listen to this interview, visit the Soil Saviors website, where a wealth of videos by Spencer and Miletich—as well as testimonials from the likes of Jim Gale (a previous Solution Series guest on the Solari Report) and Grow Network founder Marjory Wildcraft—are guaranteed to inspire you to want to join the Soil Saviors network!
You can read more about the history and vision behind their approach in an informative article in the Spring 2025 issue of Wise Traditions, the journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

I am wondering if there are more ways for this complete soil recovery? We started a multiple acre Permaculture Farmstead 3 years ago. In researching ways to fertilize with something not industrially produced, because those processes use heat and pressure essentially killing all enzymes and bacteria we fell back on the ancestral ways of the local Native Americans. They caught fish from the Ocean, buried them, and planted their crops on top for the season– We took ocean fish cadavers from a fish restaurant added some of our sugar cane ( to kick off the fermentation process), and water. We stored them for a year to ferment. The result is a concentrated fermented fish liquid. It led to unexpected growth, no pests and vitality on our farm.
I wonder if our fermented fish could be analyzed somewhere, the University of Florida Agricultural Extension has no interest in it. It would be good to know why it works so incredibly well. Also it could add to our farm revenue if we could sell the product, since we have hundreds of gallons ready for use.
How wonderful. You might ask the folks at NOFA who might be able to help you analyze what is happening.
