Hi Mark
Dont know if you know this already but Kaviraj is doing this as we speak.
He is in Brazil right now working with farmers on how to use homeopathics in their pest control and growing process.
Afterwards he will be meeting me hopefully in Sept/oct (bali Indonesia) To do the same there with the perma argro community.

Good on Kaviraj. I work mainly in the EU and have been tracking the laws for about a decade. These laws (PPPR in the EU) are a significant barrier (also in India and Pakistan and Australia and NZ and USA incidentally - see the thread on the Considera forum) as is a feeling that homeopathy is for weak-minded kooks so let's not waste time humouring them. The former is being worked on, the latter is harder to approach. What will begin to make an impression are facts in the language that industry and science understands - results from rigorous trials in the fields and laboratories run by independent parties. So if you know of people who are in the field and who are willing to run trials, that's a way in that I am asking to be informed about. An auxilliary route is the same people who have tried an orthodox way and not succeeded: it opens the mind for kookiness. Give my greetings to VDK.

Hi Mark
Yes of course I will give Kaviraj your message.
Regards Kaviraj and his motivation(on promoting homeopathics for agro) is due based on horriffic first hand expierences with MONSANTO trying to silence/kill him.
But many already know this from his posts.

I had assumed that this just reinforced his pre-existing motive to heal the Earth and explore the possibilities of homeopathy.

Hi Mark,

Here are some contacts of mine, who are working in Universities in Brazil, where the Govt subsidises such efforts.
Dr Fabricio Rossi. University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Fabricio Rossi
From the same university:
Dra Palmira.
Palmira R Righetto Rolim
Radko Tichavski. Mexico.
"institutocomenius@gmail.com"
I am waiting for a contact here and as soon as i get it shall add.
This is the "main man" here in Brazil, without whom little is possible, but whose cooperation could open doors to just such trials. I suppose it does not matter where such trials take place. In the south here is also a group of German descent Biodynamics people - a whole region full. Shall try my best to get them involved.
I have a list of trials from Radko Tichavski, but i am not sure if he wants them passed on. Shall ask for his permission.
There are about thirty and they are still in Spanish. A student of mine fluent in both English and Spanish is translating them, to add to the new version of the old book.
Have changed the layout and give much more theoretical explanation about principles and diagnosis. It has grown to two volumes so far - Organon and General remedies - and more to come, because i have come to the conclusion that different plant families have different problems. Each deserves its own volume. The predator principle works with many predators, as random tests with several have proven to me. So I have included many new remedies, directed at different climate zones, where different soils with different pH produce different vegetation and different insects and predators. Also I have chapters on allelopathic remedies and pollution gets a chance.
Interested in publication?
It is 1500 pages total and fully illustrated so will be expensive to produce.

Regards,
Kaviraj.

Hello

Wasn't sure if you knew or not that there is a website www.lulu.com that publishes books for you, as people order them. This may be a good way for you to get your revised books out and about without having to have a HUGE outlay to start off with. You have them printed as they are ordered.

Hope this is a help.

Sandy

Mark,

Have received permission from Radko to send you the files. They are right now being translated by my student. She is from Nicaragua and is native Spanish speaker, who lived in the US from her 7th birthday and thus speaks and writes excellent (american) English. These files are all scientific tests of homoeopathic remedies on plants. I have a few more in English, but they were also published at Hpathy, I think. Shall check and send you what was not at that site. I also have some in Portuguese, but they need translation first. Have some students here who can do that. As they become available, i will send them to you.

Kaviraj.
