Eric Lancaster

Eric Lancaster started using and studying probiotics in 1996 when his mother-in-law brought a bottle of EM-1 Microbial Inoculant from Japan and started teaching him how to use the product in his organic gardens. She also brought a copy of Dr. Teruo Higa’s, An Earth Saving Revolution. That started him on a 25-year journey with this amazing probiotic technology. In 1999, he started working for EM Technologies, Inc., as an intern and an employee by 2000. He moved from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 2002 to Tucson, Arizona, to work full-time for EM Technologies, Inc., and EM Hawaii dba EMROUSA Effective Microorganisms. While at EMROUSA, he helped develop a new sales and marketing system. In 2005, he and a few other partners started EM America, the first exclusive distributor of EM Technology in the world. In 2010 EM America restructured, taking on a new CEO and investors and changing its name to TeraGanix, Inc. By that time, Eric was in charge of the marketing and sales for the company until the company was sold in April of 2021.

During his tenure at TeraGanix, Inc., Eric wrote over 3,400 blog articles, three separate websites with 300 to 680 pages of information, published 50 articles in cannabis and gardening magazines, managed over 50 research projects using probiotics in crops and livestock, worked on the invention of 14 core products, including Dr. Don’s Oral Rinse and Toothpowder and Pro EM 1 Probiotic. He also created and wrote the manufacturing and sales manuals for each product. Over his twenty-five years working with EM Technology, he has consulted on projects on six continents ranging from animal to human to soil health using probiotics. Eric has an Associate's degree in History from Cape Cod Community College and a bachelor's degree in History from Bridgewater State College (now UMASS Bridgewater). He has completed Master’s Level courses at Bridgewater State College, the University of Phoenix, and UMASS Boston. He also studied wastewater treatment at Massachusetts Maritime Academy and received a Massachusetts Grade IV Wastewater Treatment License. He has a certificate in digital marketing from Shaw Academy. In 2023, Eric published Probiotic Oral Health. Today Eric is available for consultation regarding all means of remediation including homes, businesses, landscapes, gardens and agriculture.
