Good
News
Lately I have been inundated with good
news about ways that each of us can experience greater health, abundance and well-being in these times.
Most of this good news revolves around the benefits of the ORMUS minerals for health and plant
growth.
Obviously being able to get better,
healthier food from local sources is going to be a great boon for everyone. Being able to grow your own
is even better.
Perhaps the best news in all of this is
that everyone can make their own ORMUS using “kitchen simple” methods, some of which are described
at:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/articles.htm#METHODS
We are finding that adding one to three
gallons of sea water ORMUS per acre (ten to thirty-one liters per hectare) significantly increases the
nutrient content and yield of every plant it is applied to. We are also finding that it increases the
plant’s freeze tolerance and drought tolerance.
Also, animals that eat these plants or
that eat ORMUS itself are exhibiting improved health effects including regeneration of appendages and
increased endurance. Here are some links to reports of health benefits for animals:

ORMUS also seems to increase brain
coherence in double blind human tests as you can see at:

Here is a speculative web page on how
ORMUS might help to mitigate some of the causes and effects of global warming:

I spent a month and a half giving ORMUS
lectures in Australiaduring October-November 2008. Here are
some plant related reports from my time there:
After my first presentation
in Queensland, I was contacted by a gentleman who said
he had a radish in his garden which was as big around as a CD. He offered to drive me to his place to see
this radish and I took some pictures of it which you can see at:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/Wizards-of-Oz.htm
These radishes were grown with second
generation seeds that he collected from his ORMUS garden last year. He said that his giant radishes were
not “woody” and that they tasted very good.
This gentleman also had built some ORMUS
traps simply by following the instructions on my web site. These traps were quite rewarding to see since
I always like to be able to show people traps, which have been built locally, when I give my
presentations. You can see two of the traps he built at:

My presentation in
Perthhappened at a place called the City Farm.
See:
http://www.cityfarmperth.org.au/new_lite/about.html
The “City Farm is an organic community
garden, education and network centre that operates on permaculture
principles”. Inspired by the opportunity to talk to a good number of farmers in the City Farm network, I
moved my Wet Method demo and my ORMUS Plants slide show to Sunday. This worked very well as many people
at the Sunday presentation came specifically for this info.
All of my time in
Australiacoincided with some significant global and
local changes. The global economic changes and the American presidential elections stimulated my desire
to see some evidence that ORMUS might help people get through the tough times that might be coming. The
drought that Australiahas been enduring for the last few years
also stimulated a desire to see some evidence that ORMUS might help plants to make it through severe
weather conditions. This desire was also expanded by my hope to eat another salad from my home garden
despite the fact that there have been 26 freezes in BakerCitysince I left on October
first.
My desire to see some evidence of ORMUS
helping out under drought conditions was fulfilled when Alfred Goolsbee
showed up at my Melbourneworkshop. His new information about plants
given ORMUS during drought conditions was so significant that I asked him to give a short talk about it
during my Melbourneworkshop. Alfred told us about some plants
he had that were given some sea water precipitate ORMUS and survived serious drought conditions when
accidentally left in a closed greenhouse without water. You can read more about how the ORMUS plants
survived this ordeal and the non ORMUS plants did not on Alfred’s web site at:
http://ormus.net/ormus_coop_pages/ormus_agriculture.html
andyou can read about a controlled experiment
with sprouts at:

By the time I got to my last weekend
presentation in Canberra, I was feeling quite hopeful that ORMUS
might help to mitigate all of the world’s food problems including drought. Throughout my sojourn in Oz I
had regularly encountered people who were interested in using ORMUS in agriculture as well as using it
for consciousness expansion and building community. Frankly, I kinda expected
my last presentation to be a bit anticlimactic after all the superlative things that happened at the
previous presentation gatherings.
I am happy to report that some of the best
news about ORMUS in Australiacame during my Canberraworkshop. Rob Gourlay, an environmental scientist and founder of the Environmental Research &
Information Consortium (ERIC) told us about how he has been combining Effective Microorganisms (EM) and
ORMUS in some of the ERIC products and Australian farmers have started asking him “where is all the water
coming from?” after using this product.
Sharon Rose, who helped set up this
Australian tour, first acquainted me with EM back in 2001 and she has been touting the benefits of mixing
EM and ORMUS ever since then. Sharonnoticed that magnetic trap ORMUS “liked to
hang out” in the carbon filter before going into the trap and she used the Effective Microorganisms to
extract the ORMUS from these “clogged” filters. Rob speculates that the increased ORMUS in the soil
increases carbon sequestration and that the EM organisms play a major role in this process. He also
claims that the carbon, in turn, stores more water and nutrients for later release to the plants. You can
read more about this on Rob’s web site at:
http://eric.com.au/html/papers_soilmap.php
Rob does not mention on his site that sea
water ORMUS is the “secret ingredient” in his soil preparations.
Following is some info that I sent out on
Christmas day:

I have a bit to add to the page above and
I will be adding more when the results are in next spring. So far, this fall and winter, I have seen
significant additional evidence of increased freeze tolerance in my salad green patch that I planted in
mid summer.
While I was in Australiabetween October 2 and November 12 there
were 26 nights with below freezing temperatures in BakerCity. You can see these temperatures charted
at:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/oct-nov-lows.jpg
The next day I took the following picture
of my salad green patch:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/08-11-13-SaladGreens.jpg
And the day after that I made a salad from
the greens I picked:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/08-11-14-Salad.jpg
I continued to eat an occasional salad
using greens picked from this patch well into December:

http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/08-12-9-SaladGreens.jpg
Between November 12 and December 9 there
were another 26 nights of below freezing weather in BakerCityas you can see in the temperature chart
at:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/nov-dec-lows.jpg
Notice that the night time low temperature
on December 16 in the chart above is -14.1 degrees Fahrenheit (about -25 degrees Celsius). The following
day I took another picture of my salad green patch:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/08-12-17-SaladGreens.jpg
Notice that some of the flowers and leaves
seem to have survived unharmed. I did eat one of the better looking leaves right after I took this
picture and it felt and tasted like a living leaf. Here is another picture I took right after I ate the
leaf:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/08-12-17-Thermometer.jpg
I took some more pictures and ate another
leaf on Christmas day. Here are some pictures from my salad greens on Christmas day:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/Christmass08Greens3.jpg
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/Christmass08Greens1.jpg
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/Christmass08Greens2.jpg
Notice that there are a couple of leaves
toward the bottom of the second two pictures that look like they may still be alive. I tasted them and
they felt mushy like they had been frozen. I wonder if they will spring back in the
spring.
Also, I took another picture of the sage
plant that survived last winter unscathed:
http://www.OrmusMinerals.com/Christmass08Sage.jpg
I know it is close to the house but I also
know that the leaf poking out of the snow is indicative of the health of the rest of the sage plants that
are still buried under the snow.
