| Paramagnetism: Rediscovering Nature's Secret Force of Growth (Paperback)
by Philip S. Callahan
[HYPERLINK@www.amazon.com]
Quite frankly, the author considers this his most important work ever, as he believes an understanding of paramagnetism — and its practical integration into farming — can save agriculture worldwide.
In this one, beautiful little book, Callahan lays out a lifetime of research into low-frequency forces in nature and his discoveries regarding the force of paramagnetism and the amazing effects it has upon soils, plants and people.
Tuning in to Nature (Paperback)
by Philip S. Callahan
[HYPERLINK@www.amazon.com]
Book Description
This 25th anniversary edition, updated by the author, reveals the miraculous communication systems present in nature. Learn how plants and insects communicate through emissions in the infrared frequency range and why poisonous pesticides do not solve the real problems facing agriculture. In this breakthrough book Phil Callahan uncovers why certain insects are attracted only to certain plants, the role of pheromones work in nature, and how plants under stress literally signal insects to come devour them. Long out of print . . . classic Callahan!

Exploring the Spectrum (Paperback)
by Philip S. Callahan
[HYPERLINK@www.amazon.com]
The entire electromagnetic spectrum is covered in this book, everything from the short radioactive waves used to sterilize male screw flies so the female lays sterile eggs; to the long-wave radio frequencies that penetrate the soil, control and enhance root growth and the immune system of plants and animals.

| Me, me, me...I have read all of Callahan's stuff and I BELIEVE. I have also read the Secret Life of Plants by Tompkins and Bird, which introduces one to all sorts of ideas regarding the plant world. Many of those ideas have been rejected by mainstream but are now beginning to be investigated again as vibration does indeed seem to have a real effect on plants as well as people.
Edited to say that I have read as many as I could get my hands on. Some I had to borrow and give back, some I could not find.

| Thanks... which would you suggest reading first? Or second? Which would you want on your bookshelf? |

| Read Paramagnetism first. Be sure and do the experiment on page 103. Read others as you are drawn to them. I would love to know what you think of the subject matter when you have finished reading. |

| Not familiar with Callahan, have to check him out. A while back did some research pulling out papers by Yale professor Harold Saxton Burr which were published in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine. Burr researched microcurrents and living organisms and wrote many papers on the subject between 1934 and 1954. Did work on corn roots, changes in electric potential during human ovalution and hooked up trees at his home in Lyme and his office in New Haven to microvoltmeters. Burr is best known for his book Blueprint for Immortality. Today some people are looking at Burr's work and later research into colloids, vortexes and zeta potential. Part of the theory is that small changes in electric potential (which might be caused by telluric currents or minute amounts of certain elements) changes the zeta potential of colloids and allows or blocks the uptake of minerals.
Harold Saxton Burr was so convinced that changes in electric charge aid in health that, he put a copper roof on the revolutionary era homestead his great grandfather Enoch Fitch Burr bought. Knew he had lived away from the center of town and after driving around the woods, turned a corner and saw the roof below. The new owners knew of Burr and his book but didn't know why they had a copper roof on a farmhouse built around 1780 nor what the "junk" in their barn was (Burr's antennae and other equipment to measure current).

| Front of Burr's homestead below. F. S. C. Northrop, Leonard J. Ravitz and Leslie Nims worked with Burr and published some interesting stuff too (F.S.C. stands for "Filmer Stuart Cuckow"--anyone with that name has to be interesting). Northrop developed he philosophic underpinnings of Burr's theories, Nims was an engineer who designed the equipment and Ravitz was Burr's protogee who applied Burr's work to psychology.
Don't mean to sidetrack this. Just wanted to point out there is solid research predating Philip S. Callahan which was on the same track. A lot of stuff which was being done in the 1930s came to an abrupt end in 1941 when the country moblized scientists for the war effort.

| Burr and Callahan's work actually serve to "validate" the structural design of many ancient temples. There are ancient architectural texts that discuss the energy flow in the building design. Placement systems such as feng shui and vasta shastra work with these subtle energies as well. It makes for an interesting study and for interesting experiments while exploring the concepts. |

| Let the experiment begin. This petrified rock is said to be paramagnetic. Callahan reports that 9 grams has readings of +354.6 and these rock are way way over 9 grams. |

| Hmmmm, I guess I should buy some radish seeds and try his experiments although I'm already a believer! Years ago I did some experiments with energy focused by a paper cone shape. I would think that would work on plants too but I wonder if the effect is totally beneficial? |

| I have a second Callahan book called Ancient Mysteries, Modern Visions: The Magnetic Life of Agriculture. In it he mentions an experiment with a paper cone and, as always, he says do not believe him, do the experiment and find out for yourself. |

| I'll get back to you on that. I don't have a scale. I have to borrow one from one of my neighbors. They are mostly working folk and not home right now. The only one who doesn't work outside the home is out of town. Now I want to know how much they weigh. |

| The piece across the bottom weighs 8 lbs, the one on the left weighs 5 lbs and the one on the right weighs 2 lbs. Looks like I got me some paramagnetism possibilities.
Edited because there are not two lefts.
