 From the brilliant-colored concentric patterns Pfeiffer has been able to disclose new secrets of life.

+---Pfeiffer came to realize that it is only our human egotistical point of
+view that labels a weed a weed, and that if they were viewed as a
+functioning part of nature, weeds would have much to teach. Pfeiffer
+proved that a whole group of weeds, including sorrels, docks, and
+horsetails, are sure indicators that the soil is becoming too acidic. Dande-
+lions, which lawn owners so feverishly dig up; actually heal the soil by
+transporting minerals, especially calcium, upward from deep layers, even
+from underneath hardpan. The dandelion is thus warning the lawn
+owner that something is wrong with the life of his soil. Pfeiffer came to the conclusion that,
+when soil lacks lime, silicon-loving plants such as daisies move onto it.
+When they die, they bring to the soil the missing calcium.  pg 264

+---The New Alchemists say: "To Restore
+the Lands, Protect the Seas, and Inform the Earth's Stewards." This is
+what the planet's vegetal covering on terra firma has been doing since
+long before the advent of man to his stewardship. In that sense, **//plants
+are the oldest alchemists.//**

+can grow on copper wires** without any

+---Kervran (1901-1983) medical scientist and engineer:
+powerful energies are at work in the germination process of seeds which
+synthesize enzymes, probably by transmuting matter within them. His
+experiments have also convinced him that **lunar forces are extremely
+important in germination**, though botanists have long asserted that only
+warmth and water are required.
+---Though not applied as abusively as in America, even the more limited
+European use of artificial fertilizers has led, says Kervran, to a mounting
+lack of resistance in plants to pests. The increase of infestation is no
+more than a consequence of **biological imbalance.** pg 286

+==== Dowsing Plants for Health ====
+---Simoneton found that the **normal healthy person gives off a wavelengt
+radiance of about 6,500**. Bovis and Simoneton's thesis: human beings should eat fruit,
+vegetables, nuts, and fresh fish that give off radiations higher than their
+own normal 6,500, if they wish to energize themselves and feel healthy.
+---Myrna I. Lewis, taken by
+the Soviets on a visit to several sanitariums in the Black Sea city of Sochi
+to find aging Soviet citizens, afRicted with a variety of ills, both physical
+and mental, **being treated not with drugs but with vibrations from
+flowers in greenhouses** where they were led to smell specific blooms so
+many minutes a day. They were also being treated with music played
+in their rooms and the sound of the sea recorded on tapes. pg 308
+---During his months in Wales, Bach felt his senses quickening, becom-
+Ing more developed. Through a finely developed sense of touch he was
+able to feel the vibrations and power emitted by any plant he wished
+to test. Like Paracelsus, if he held a petal or bloom in the palm of his
+hand or placed it on his tongue he could feel in his body the effects of
+the properties within that plant. Some had a strengthening, vitalizing
+effect on his mind and body; others would give him pain, vomiting,
+fevers, rashes, and the like. His instinct told him that the best plants would be found blooming in the middl,e of the year, when the days are
+longest and the sun at the height of its power and strength. pg 309-310
+---Though many of the flowers did not contain the healing properties
+he sought, Bach found the dew from each plant held a definite power
+of some kind, and deduced that the sun's radiation was essential to the
+process of extraction. As collecting sufficient dew from individual flowers
+could be laborious he decided to pick a few blooms from a chosen plant
+and place them in a glass bowl filled with water from a clear stream,
+leaving them standing in the field in the sunlight for several hours. To
+his delight he found that the water became impregnated with the
+vibrations and power of the plant and was very potent. To potentlize his
+water Bach would choose a summer day with no clouds to obscure the
+sun's light and heat. Taking three small plain glass bowls filled with fresh
+water, he set them in a field where the flowering plants were growing,
+then selected the most perfect blossoms and placed them on the surface
+of the water.** To lift the blooms from the water without touching the
+fuid with his fingers he used two blades of grass.** The water was then
+transferred by means of a small lipped phial to bottles. When half-full
+the rest of the bottle was filled with brandy designed to preserve the
+mixture. Before the next experiment Bach would destroy both bowls and
+phials. pg 310-311
+---blindfolded ruddy-cheeked Scotsman, Alick McInnes, can** put his hand over a ripe
+bloom and tell from the wavelength of its radiation** just what plant it
+is and what its medical properties may be. In India, where he spent
+thirty years working for the British Raj, Mcinnes got his first introduc-
+tion to the fact that plants not only give off radiations which are sensible
+to humans, but are themselves sensitive to the radiations given off by
+humans; this he discovered when he visited the Bose Institute near
+Calcutta. pg 312
+---By the entrance to the Institute stands a luxuriant Mimosa pudica.
+Visitors are requested to pick a small frond from this compliant horticul-
+tural guinea pig and place it in one of Bose's complicated machines,
+which provides a schematic pattern of the vibrations of the plant on a
+sheet of paper. A visitor is then asked to place his wrist inside the
+machine and watch as a duplicate of the pattern is produced, demon-
+strating that mimosa is so sensitive it can pick up and faultlessly reflect
+individual human radiations. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagadish_Chandra_Bose]]pg 312
