Me too. but I have a serious problem in that I am one of the un-trained un-accredited people who has come to this with only my integrity and good intent (And common sense) We also need to look at what is the alternative - In my case (I can already hear the gasps of horror ) the alternative would have been a continuation of chemical farming in some form, but the use of potentised remedies in field broadcasters or instruments of similar ilk will be the most valuable tool (of many) that we use to get us out of it. And I'm sorry folks but I refuse to hand my farm over to the banks and chemical companies because of some idealistic system that would not deliver a satisfactory result in my situation.

My background says that I should argue with Gil but I find it very difficult to disagree. A wise fellow once told me to remember that the potential to do good (with any instrument or machine) will always be about equal to the potential to do damage - thus it requires a higher level of intellect and ability to operate a bulldozer than a shovel. If we see Gil's emphasis on training as an opportunity for those already practicing radionics to quietly exclude unsuitable people before they advance far enough to do real harm then I agree. However I feel that this process is already in place - I got good guidance, and a well timed dose of cautionary advice from Hugh Lovel when I started with the field broadcaster. And have had similar help and guidance from others - including a couple of magic days at James and Barbara Hedley's place recently. As far as the weekend specials go (there is another one on in South Australia soon I hear) they are a training excercise for the organisers but the attrition rate is extraordinarily high - there are 2 dial analysers sitting in the bottom of wardrobes all over the place - if these guys can afford to waste $3000 to $7000 in such a manner then so be it - The problem that I have with radionics is the product sellers. This is a serious and very dangerous situation - how on earth can an operator (regardless of his inherent honesty) get a proper and beneficial analysis result when the whole purpose and INTENT of sitting down at the instrument was to increase his sales of brand X supersoup or whatever - after all there's a payment due on the new mercedes 4 wheel drive next week and the bank needs a bit of a top up. How do you stop this with regulation or accreditation?? I would like to hear more from other list members on this as I can see the sense in both Gil's and Hugh's argument but sittin' on the fence is a dangerous policy long term. Cheers all Lloyd Charlers
