USING BIOLOGICALS: There are probably a few of you who have never used a biological or something to stimulate microbes – but I will assume most of you have. So the big question is; “If I have used a product once on my soil, do I need to use it a second time or even keep using it or switch to a different one?” Let’s look at the conditions that cause us to use a biological in the first place. Compaction It is very doubtful that all remnants of compaction would disappear after one application of any one product. Even applying calcium, ripping and adding microbes, enzymes and conditioners probably wouldn’t make everything perfect the first season. Toxicity It takes time for microbes to degrade manmade molecules. Some persist in the soil for years. Good microbes may die when coming in contact with these toxic molecules and need to have back-up or reserves to keep breaking down the structure. pH Soil pH helps determine which biologicals will survive and flourish. Some areas of your soil profile may not be in the right range to support the types you have applied. Food Supply Many biologicals are sold with a supportive food supply mixed in. What happens when the packaged food supply is used up? Can your soil supply the minerals, nitrogen, carbohydrates, cellulose and lignin necessary to support the hopefully burgeoning population of good microbes? Are your economic crops putting out enough high brix root extrudates to feed and sustain the populations you hope to build? Natural Cycles There is a natural cycle of one type of microbe consuming another and so on up the food chain. Do you have sufficient of each type to keep all the cycles going? In short, it is very doubtful that one application of a microbial package, a liquid enzyme or a homeopathic will achieve what you want.

Those of you using compost teas are certainly not going to use just one application for much of the same above reason. Microbes on leaf surfaces have the same feed and survival problem as do soil microbes and maybe a few more due to weather, air pollution, and electronic pollution which we will touch on later. So it is easy to justify the yearly use of biologicals as long as they offer a return on investment. CSI always checks a variety of biologicals available in the market place as well as the best food source for the current soil situation when you ask us for recommendations. We had an excellent response this late summer using a sugar called High Carbon Dextrose [See enclosed price list] on our lawn and flowers. I have two different annual flowers that have survived till 07 in outside boxes – in spite of quite a few nights of temperature in the low 20’s. If there is enough energy, plants can survive seemingly impossible conditions.

Beneficial fungi have probably suffered the most at the hands of chemical farming, since the main chemicals applied to soil are herbicides [plant killers] and fungi belong to the plant world. To really make fungi flourish requires use of compost, fish, vinegar, sugars and humate or humic acid materials because fungi have a much higher carbon to nitrogen ratio [C:N of 20:1]. Anyone growing perennials must repair the damage done and encourage the fungi. Even crop farmers need to bring up the fungi population to be about 80% of the bacterial population for “balanced soil”. CSI offers you high quality, whole ocean fish –  “Fish Agra” – and the other materials also.

SPEAKING OF YITTRIUM: The Jan. issue of Acres USA has an excellent article by Chuck Walters on the critical necessity of the element Yittrium to human health. It also mentions Selenium and Lanthanum as possible replacements in some situations. Although Yittrium does not appear in cell tissue, it is critical to one of our most important stomach organisms. The article doesn’t mention livestock, but you can bet there’s also a connection. Where do you get Yittrium? CSI has at least two major sources of yittrium for your crops and your own garden. First we offer our acclaimed phosphate,TN Brown, with 83.74 ppm Yittrium & 46 ppm Lanthanum. We offer Mineral Water a unique fulvic acid leachate containing significant Yittrium [36.5 ppm] and its close relative Lanthanum [22.9 ppm] as well as the Yittrium replacement Selenium [38.1 ppm]. We offer Crop Guard and Dr. Wheeler’s Garlic & Yucca animal feed supplement all containing large amounts of Selenium collected naturally from the soil by the garlic used to make the products. CropGuard can provide you with plant immunity by applying in the row or foliar feeding. CropGuard has added yucca to clog insect feeding tubes and damage egg masses. Dr Wheeler’s Garlic & Yucca feed supplement is also a rich source of Selenium and DMSO compounds, all of which are documented sources of animal and human health aids.

MAKING IT HAPPEN: If a grazing, watering situation makes it difficult to get Dr. Wheeler’s Garlic and Yucca or a Mineral Water supplement into the stock, spraying the products onto pasture or dry hay can accomplish the same thing. Most “grass fed” growers know a set level of selenium is required in stock to produce maximum expression of the existing genetics.

MINERAL WATER: It’s from an ancient seabed, so its mineral spectrum is like sea solids or seawater, but has the added fulvic acid content. We have been able to slowly lower the price to where it is at or less costly than seawater on a per acre basis. It should always be used when applying Boron to avoid the soluble borate from going below the root zone.

Recent emails from Hugh Lovel reminded me of the fact that boron releases silica, which then releases/moves calcium. His work on bananas in AU showed that the high levels of silica in the leaves correlated directly with the yield of the various plots. Boron had been applied with humic acid on the high silica leaf tissue/high yield plots. 99.9 % of tests coming through our lab – and that means that most of you – are loosing yield because your silica is not available. The rise in the use of K-Sil [Potassium Silicate] and Calcium Silicate show that silicates give a response. Green Sand is the only current organic source or use GW Ag homeopathic sprays. The second primary Steiner spray is Silica. PLEASE bring your boron levels up using Mineral Water or other humic acid in a liquid application or dry humates with dry boron products.

HOW MUCH PHOSPHATE: We have tended to not recommend Tn Brown at levels of Phosphate over 100 #/a on our CEC test. This is lower than some other systems suggest. With proper mycorrhizial inoculation, the levels are probably OK. However, with our new knowledge concerning the yittrium situation, we will start scanner checking for TN Brown if your readings are below the 200 #/a P₂O₅. If your previous CSI tests showed below that level, you’re welcome to add more TN Brown. Since the world’s phosphates are in limited supply, it just might pay to bring your levels up now. PRICE GOING UP: Regretfully and due to unavoidable circumstances at the mine site, TN Brown is scheduled to go up $5.00/ton to CSI on June 1, 07. However, CSI will hold the customer price at $65/ton through the end of 2007. Now is the time to buy!!

SPEAKING OF SEAWATER: CSI has been evaluating the latest “push” toward the use of seawater or solids. We have decided not to “jump in” at this time for several reasons. Why does seawater/solids give a reaction in some situations? Is it the sodium? Most of the tests coming through our lab have very low sodium readings, so one would expect an increase in ERGS or soluble salts which would give a crop response. Is it the balanced broad spectrum trace minerals? Seaweed and Ocean Fish products will give you a similar mineral spectrum with the added factor of having the minerals “tuned” by and to plant tissue, a powerful growth hormone and protein nitrogen – the key to meeting your organic N needs – and all at less cost per acre. So if you haven’t Remineralized – added the minerals you know are low or missing from reasonably priced sources – and Bio-Activated then we humbly suggest you start there.

RADIONICS CLASS: The 3 day pre-Acres class went very well with eight students completing the course and all appeared to be able to competently operate a device for a variety of uses. It should be noted that each of the eight students had a device to work on throughout the entire class without having to “share” as some students brought their own devices and CSI provided some loaners. What was really surprising is that the scheduled 1 ½ hour Radionics workshop during the Acres convention attracted about 250 attendees! It sparked many requests for 3 day class prior to the 2007 Acres in Louisville, KY. Please help us out if you’re interested in attending by letting us know as soon as possible. I am anticipating not having enough devices to keep the same one-student-to-one-device. Please put serious thought/commitment into purchasing a device if you want to come to class. CSI now has at least four “brands” of devices available for purchase new. [Rodgers, Kelly, Mattioda, and Aussie] The price range is from $1000 to $1800. In the rare case that you didn’t learn to use a device purchased from CSI after completing the class, we would consider taking it back for resale or use as a loaner for classes.

LIVESTOCK RADIONIC BALANCING: Our lab is too busy with soil tests to continue to offer livestock analysis and balancing services. However we met Tim Lippert of Livestock Innovations at Acres and highly recommend you contact him for those kinds of services. Phone 507-787-2397 or cell at 507-381-3421. He has lots of powerful devices to serve your needs and a large list of satisfied customers.

EMF PLAGUE HITS AGRICULTURE! Bruce Tainio has identified actual plant damage from the same types of electromagnetic smog that prompted him to develop the Concerto unit for home use (and other companies, such as BioPro, to make “chips” for cell phones and other electronic devices). We suggest you get the tapes from his lectures at Acres 06, especially the one on “Farming in 2020”. His basic message is that it has been scientifically proven that microwave and other radio frequencies have saturated our environment and that they are beginning to affect plant growth by affecting soil, microbes and water. The prime nutrient, Calcium, is being induced to either over accumulate in plant cells or in more cases, the EMF waves are causing a back flushing of Calcium out of the plant via the roots. As Bruce points out, there is no way you are going to make the companies involved stop broadcasting all the signals that are now filling in every frequency band that nature normally didn’t have. The only thing you can do is broadcast frequencies that neutralize the effect on living systems, but not change the original function. If these fs are affecting crops, you can guess what effects they are having on livestock and humans.

Being a “Bio-Physicist”, I recognize that this is serious business. Our office has a Concerto unit and our cell phones and portable house phones all have protective Chips. We are also experimenting with other low cost devices that clean up “Dirty Electricity” in very low radio f ranges. CSI is offering the new “Symphony” units from Tainio that can protect crops and cropland. The Symphony units use a tree or other plant to broadcast the neutralizing frequencies over huge square mile areas. CSI is prepared to offer installation/consulting services. Now that Ron Ward is on board, CSI will also have more time for “Broadcasters” or Tainio Field Tuners.

PROGRAMS THAT WORK: [Testimonials from our Clients] Bob Guzenhauser reports a 5-7 bu/A increase in yield on soybeans where he applied TN Brown Phos. Market Gardener Harriet Kattenberg reports that her customers say her produce tastes better after following out soil and foliar recommendations. “Dr. Phil makes growing high brix so easy! We followed his recommendations …had an awesome crop….many pleased customers. Looking forward to next year.”. When CSI met Matt Wiley he had already spent several years working on his CEC type balancing with Kinsey. When his tests from our lab were completed, we told him that he had better CEC balances than the usual we see. His LaMotte tests, however, were still reading their typical low comparative numbers indicating a lack of biological activity. He added Tainio microbes and enzymes in 05. Matt says” “This year, 06, I added some compost tea at planting to help build up beneficial levels, especially fungi. I’ve added 600 lbs/A TN Brown Phosphate to my land as well. Dr. Phil & Louisa installed one of their Field Broadcasters {Hugh Lovel type}in 2004 so have had two years growing under its influence. Applied 2 sprays of compost tea at 1st and 3rd weeks after corn emergence. On one 30 acre field in 2004 I grew 80 bu. Spelt and 40 bu. Soybeans in 05. In 2006 I grew corn for the first time since going organic with a yield of 100 bu/A. It had a test weight of 63 lb @ 15.5% moisture.”. From Australia: “We installed a Veges sound machine in 2000 on Rock Melons. Crop health seemed easier to manage. Nutrient uptake was better as verified by tissue testing. When we started harvesting block 1 we were only one day early. By the time we got to block five we were 5-6 days early and were still picking blocks 2,3,4. By block nine we were 8-10 days early and finished Christmas Eve instead of after New Years! Never happened before in 30 yr history of property and no neighbors experienced the same phenomenon. Instrument is still operating on farm today.”

BLENDED FERTILIZER: Thanks to those who offered feedback to CSI on their interests. However, we were unable to put anything together as far as location. Sorry About That!

CSI GROWTH: Ron Ward, the co-author of our book, will be onboard as a 90% time consultant starting April 1. If you like our system, we hope you will think about becoming a “dealer” for CSI and actively call on other growers to encourage their conversion to sustainable agriculture or beyond. CSI provides all the testing and recommendations and you make the sales. You would need to keep in touch with customers, ease their worries and relay answers to their questions if you can’t provide it on your own. As Red Greens says, “We’re all in this together and we’re pulling for you.” Help do your part to clean up the nation’s domestic food supply!

Thanks for making 2006 another “banner” year for CSI. We Appreciate Your Business and Your Trust in Our Advice and Products. GOOD GROWING IN 07! Dr. Phil, Louisa & Ron

PS: Soybean Rust may be active in 07. See very effective NOP BALLAD on our Price List.

HUMAN HEALTH SECTION

By the time you read this, Louisa and I will have completed a 10 day fast. That’s right, no food for 10 days! The fast protocol we used was from a bookHealing for the Age of Enlightenment by Stanley Burroughs, ISBN #0-9639262-1-7. The only intake was a minimum of six, 10 ounce glasses of water with fresh lemon & lime juice with maple syrup added for minerals and carbs and a touch of cayenne pepper. We kept up our normal exercise and work schedule, so obviously there was enough energy in the drink to take care of body needs. I added 30 drops per day of the Natural Cellular Defense zeolite product to help take out more toxins.

The day before I started I received an email citing research associating toxins with weight gain. Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton published her work in the 2002 Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine. When the liver is overloaded with toxins, weight loss efforts may be blocked. An overloaded liver cannot efficiently burn body fat.

I also received 6 page monograph entitled Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: Biological Effects of Dirty Electricity with Emphasis on Diabetes & Multiple Sclerosis, published by Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, 25: 259-268, 2006. This monograph gave me a useful word – “Dirty Electricity” – to help answer all the questions I get about why we should use items like the BioPro cell-phone chips or the Tainio home unit Concerto. The article did confirm my explanation that is was the extra frequencies that come along with what should be a “clean” 60 cycle sine wave from your home current. Some of the sources of Dirty Electricity include: Computers, variable speed motors, TVs, energy efficient appliances and lighting, power tools, cell phone antennas, broadcast antennas and many, many more modern appliances.

The monograph indicated a very large number of common human ailments that can be symptoms of “radio wave sickness”. The big impacts of cleaning up the electricity were on ADD/ADHD, blood sugar levels, Multiple Sclerosis, asthma, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. After Bruce Tainio’s revelations about effects on plants, I urge you to do something to clean up your homes, workshops and offices. If you’re on a tractor all day, you can wear pendent type devices to help protect yourself or use “chips” on the radios, GPS or computer equipment.

Thank you for helping make 2006 another great year for CSI. We appreciate your business!

Phil, Louisa & Ron
