Hello all,Oh, please, Jane, tell me what Jean-Paul wants with lab work from the physcial preps!!
I tried searching the archives for the results of Elaine's testing of the bd preps but for some reason was unable to find them. Does someone have them handy to forward to me so I can share them with Jean-Paul?
Thanks,
Jane Sherry
The testing of the BD preps by BD Now! through SFI pretty much went the way Chris apparently expects the film work to go. However, I think I was willing to give my co-workers a little more rope, which, unfortunately, means a little more time.
Only enough funds were raised to test one BD prep, which, to date, has not been done. Finally, when the funds for testing the preps were finally forwarded to me (which was some time ago, but not that long ago in the scheme of things), I was in the midst of the pre and post BIODYNAMIC CONFERENCE landslide of me-oriented extra labor, which has not abated at this time for reasons I do not care to discuss on-line.
In the meantime, there is a lot of discussion from the Organic certification people about not allowing the use of manure based compost teas in food production. (Which is probably Jean Paul's interest: to 'know' that there is no e-coli in the manure-based preps) Personally, I do not feel that right now is an appropriate time to associate BD with compost tea because, of course, the preps are not compost tea but they may wind up 'banned' from organic farms along with manure-based compost teas. I'll pose this question to Hugh Courtney and see how he feels. I think it is very important that we set aside our personal interests and act responsibly with and for the preps in the eye of a less-than-understanding public. I could be overly protective, however, and will leave it to Hugh to make the call.
Does that help?
