Dear Chris (and list), As I continued reading in the Koliskos' first chapter that you posted 7/10 to the list, I saw potential parallels between agriculture and the human health condition (that may well affect vulnerable animals throughout our ecosystem, but perhaps particularly those who are in closest proximity to the voluminous amounts of fragrance chems in the average human's household -- but my thoughts on dog attacks and fragrance chemicals need to wait for another forum) of which I've recently written to the list.
Re: "Footand-Mouth Disease" they wrote, << Of course it is a medical problem in that we are looking for a certain remedy, but it becomes an agricultural problem as well if we study how the growth of plants is affected by substances which are diluted, or rather potentised.>> As I am always looking for information on possible mechanisms of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity-Chemical Injury (MCS-CI) towards a possible remedy, I suddenly saw MCS-CI as perhaps characterizable not only as a medical problem but also as an "agricultural" one in two senses: First, how is the growth of the cells in the MCS-CI body affected by circulating and recirculating undetoxified chemicals by way of the branching bloodstream? Maybe these chems damage growth mechanisms of the cells and more nutrition of some kind would be needed to help heal that damage. And then, the above quote with this one: <<This is the first and most important thing we have to learn: to discriminate between matter and force. Matter can act in two different ways: as matter, or as the specific force behind the matter>> led to this thought: According to my MCS-CI doctor, the condition manifests primarily as a Central Nervous System (CNS) disorder but whether on the manifesting level (CNS) or source level (dysregulated/damaged detoxification) (and both systems' malfunctions acting to reinforce each other), undetoxified chems that circulate and recirculate in the bloodstream perhaps do not only wreak havoc by way of, e.g., neurogenic (nerve) inflammation (William Meggs, MD) and vascular damage (William J. Rea, MD) but also in kind of a "negative homeopathy", maybe the <<growth of [cells in the MCS-CI body] is affected by substances which are diluted, or rather potentised.>> In this view, the undetoxified chemicals would be acting both as matter (inflammatorily) and as the specific force that each chemical "represents", on some "energetic" level that is matter-*related*, of course (e=mc2), but somehow also separable from matter? The facts that, as Koliskos go on to write, <<In potentising a substance, we increase its effectiveness. We make the substance more potent. The strange thing about potentising is, that we have to reduce the amount of the substance which we want to make more potent.>> may help to answer that question so many people pose when MCS-CIers get sick from "unbelievably" small amounts of woodsmoke, incense, fabric softener, gas exhaust, etc.: "But how can such a small amount make you so sick?" Is there, then, any such thing in biodynamics as "de-" potentising in remedies? If so, perhaps there might be a way to neutralize the chemicals acting as "force" (although the specificity of each force as represented by each chemical might make this a humongous task given the scores or even hundreds of chemicals within each "gaseous cloud" whether, e.g., of fabric softener, gas exhaust, cigarette smoke, etc.). If such "de-potentizing" were possible (taking care of the chems as "force"), what would be left, then, is chemicals acting as "matter" (neurogenically inflammatory). But, might the "de-potentiation" of the "force" of each of the hundreds or thousands (if it were even possible, logistically OR financially, to "de-potentize so many) of chemicals being inhaled into the bloodstream, help contribute to their neutralization on the "matter" level? I suspect that if such a thing exists as a "spiritual" "laying-on-of-hands" healing such as has been mentioned in the Bible, it would work through such a de-potentization of energetic, yet matter-related (e=mc2), elements in the damaged body. Such "scientific" basis for a "spiritual" "miracle" would be yet another illustration of the "material IS spiritual" theme of my essay <<The 'Spiritual' Nature of 'Physical' Matter and, by Extension, of Our Material World>>. Thank you for any input, (or offer --serious-- of such a "miracle"?! ;) ) backchannel if desired. I know this is a farming/gardening list but if its insights can apply to a health condition that eventually results in end-organ damage of a fatal nature (let alone the sapping of creativity and its expression due to exhaustion and constant illness/recovery/illness), such would be invaluable, personally and for many others with the condition. BTW, Is there a website where one can find the remaining chapters of this out-of-print treasure? Thank you. -Lily You wrote: <<Subject: Smallest Entities & Rock Dust was (Rock Dust in Idaho) Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 12:15:41 -0400 From: "Trem, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear list, Instead of buying bags or truck loads of rock dust, why not buy just a bag and potentise it and spray it on the ground as Kolisko suggested below. Although she uses lime as an example, is there any reason why this process wouldn't work with rock dust? -Chris Allan posted this last year: Koliskos on 'Smallest Entities In Agriculture' The following is from "Agriculture of Tomorrow" by Eugen and Lily Kolisko. This title is out of print and is reproduced here for purposes of education. "Today, people in general are little inclined to detach themselves from the claims of the material world and to seek the spiritual directly in the physical world around them . . . It is, however, precisely from observing dirctly the sense-percptible that a right path will open out for those who wish now to work entirely within the fild of present-day science, if they really seek to discover the spritual there. It can be done . . Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION It may seem strange to speak about "smallest entities" in agriculture, but it is absolutely necessary that farmers and gardeners learn to understand this important phenomenon.
