<p>Here is a non-exhaustive list of scientific publications on the subject and the general conclusions of these publications.<br />
You can read the full study by clicking on it, except for the non-free ones, the link will redirect you to the site where they are available.</p>
<p>Almost none of these publications clearly incriminate radiations, but there is much suspicion of the effects of artificial microwaves on living beings. Some papers question microwaves, but often at higher powers than recommended by global exposure standards.<br />
That said, these studies clearly show that there is a lot of evidence indicating that prolonged exposure to microwaves can cause DNA damage (human and non-human), which is often reversible if the exposure stops, thanks to the mechanisms of self-regeneration of living beings.<br />
But for living beings with weak immunity, this self-regeneration can be compromised and considering that it is hard, in the real world, to stop this exposure, it is sometimes not possible.<br />
Some studies observe effects, but conclude that they are not considered significant.</p>
<p>At low levels of exposure, there are more publications on human and subjective feelings. However, these feelings all go in the same direction: increased irritability, symptoms of fatigue, headache, weakened immunity, etc. when microwaves sources are closer.</p>
<p>There are also statistical studies covering more than 10 years indicating that there are very clearly incidences of increased biological effects, but unfortunately there is not enough data to prove it scientifically and with certainty.</p>

Our data confirm that intermittent (but not continuous) exposure of human primary fibroblasts to a 50 Hz EMF at a flux density of 1 mT induces a slight but significant increase of DNA fragmentation in the Comet assay, and we provide first evidence for this to be caused by the magnetic rather than the electric field. Moreover, we show that EMF-induced responses in the Comet assay are dependent on cell proliferation, suggesting that processes of DNA replication rather than the DNA itself may be affected.</p>

The results of the study showed that extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields enhanced the effect of oxidative stress on DNA damage and supported the idea obtained from the previous studies on an increasing effect of electromagnetic fields on the concentration and the life-time of free radicals.</p>

Following isolated reports of headache-like symptoms arising in some users, a survey has been conducted to characterize the symptoms sometimes associated with mobile phone usage. &#8230; There were several reports suggestive of intra-cranial effects. &#8230; Cranial and other diverse symptoms may arise associated with mobile phone usage. Physicians and users alike should be alert to this. Further work is needed to determine the range of effects, their mechanism and the possible implications for safety limits of RFR.</p>

We carried out a cross-sectional community study in Singapore to determine the prevalence of specific central nervous system (CNS) symptoms among handheld cellular telephone (HP) users compared to nonusers and to study the association of risk factors and CNS symptoms among HP users. &#8230; Headache was the most prevalent symptom among HP users compared to non-HP users, with an adjusted prevalence rate ratio of 1.31 [95% confidence interval, 1.00–1.70]. There is a significant increase in the prevalence of headache with increasing duration of usage (in minutes per day). Prevalence of headache was reduced by more than 20% among those who used hand-free equipment for their cellular telephones as compared to those who never use the equipment. The use of HPs is not associated with a significant increase of CNS symptoms other than headache.</p>

Thirty-one percent of the respondents in Norway and 13% of those in Sweden had experienced at least one symptom in connection with MP use. Next to the sensations of warmth on the ear and behind/around the ear, burning sensations in the facial skin and headaches were most commonly reported. Most symptoms usually began during or within half an hour after the call and lasted for up to 2 h. Relatively few had consulted a physician or been on sick leave because of the symptoms, but about 45% among those with an MP attributed symptom had taken steps to reduce the symptom. These results suggest an awareness of the symptoms, but not necessarily a serious health problem.</p>

Despite very low exposure to HF-EMF, effects on wellbeing and performance cannot be ruled out, as shown by recently obtained experimental results; however, mechanisms of action at these low levels are unknown.</p>

Despite influences of confounding variables, including fear of adverse effects, a significant relation to measured power-density was found for cardiovascular symptoms and perceptual speed.<br />
This pilot study was explorative, hence no far reaching conclusions can be drawn. However, effects on wellbeing and performance of very low levels of exposure to emissions from base-stations cannot be ruled out and should further be studied.</p>

The present results demonstrate a significant correlation between several symptoms of what is called microwave sickness and the microwave power density associated with the Base Station located on a hill at the edge of the town. The severity of the symptoms weakens for people who live far away, at a distance greater than 250m from the main. EMF source and at a power density lower than 0.1 μW/cm 2. &#8230;<br />
There is a large and coherent body of evidence of biological mechanisms that support the conclusion of a plausible, logical, and causal relationship between RF exposure and neurological disease. Hence it is possible that cell sites are causing adverse health effects. Public health surveys of people living in the vicinity of cell site BSs should be carried out immediately, and continued over the next 2 decades. Prompt effects such as miscarriage, cardiac disruption, sleep disturbance, and chronic fatigue could well be early indicators of adverse health effects.</p>

The adjusted (sex, age, distance) logistic regression model showed statistically significant positive exposure-response associations between the E-field and the following variables: fatigue, irritability, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, sleeping disorder, depressive tendency, feeling of discomfort, difficulty in concentration, loss of memory, visual disorder, dizziness and cardiovascular problems. The inclusion of the distance, which might be a proxy for the sometimes raised “concerns explanation”, did not alter the model substantially. These results support the first statistical analysis based on two groups &#8230; Based on the data of this study the advice would be to strive for levels not higher than 0.02 V/m for the sum total, which is equal to a power density of 0.0001 μW/cm2 or 1 μW/m2, which is the indoor exposure value for GSM base stations proposed on empirical evidence by the Public Health Office of the Government of Salzburg in 2002.</p>

With the Federal Immission Control Ordinance (26. BlmSchV), the federal regulation maker establishes exposure limit regulations for electromagnetic fields whose specifications are required by acts and the constitution. But as the presented paper shows once more, a clearly increasing incidence of disease is already taking place far below legally binding exposure guideline limits.<br />
Even if in legal terms, this is not yet proof for an individual-specific evidence of damage, the presented investigations make it clear that the conclusions drawn by the federal regulation maker from the results of the German Mobile Phone Programme, according to which no health risk is to be expected below the exposure limits of the 26. BlmSchV, are scientifically and legally unjustifiable.<br />
From a legal perspective, it should be noted here that the current exposure limit regulations basically do not provide sufficient protection against health risks. Insofar as official agencies still suggest that the exposure limits of the 26. BlmSchV would be precautionary limits, these limits are now disproven &#8211; among others &#8211; through our investigation, as it showed a significantly increased health risk in the vicinity of cell phone base stations.</p>

Inhabitants living nearby mobile phone base stations are at risk for developing neuropsychiatric problems and some changes in the performance of neurobehavioral functions either by facilitation or inhibition. So, revision of standard guidelines for public exposure to RER from mobile phone base station antennas and using of NBTB for regular assessment and early detection of biological effects among inhabitants around the stations are recommended.</p>

Comparisons of complaint frequencies (CHI-SQUARE test with Yates correction) in relation to the distance from base stations and sex show significant (p <0.05) increase as compared to people living > 300 m or not exposed to base stations, up through 300 m for tiredness, 200 m for headache, sleep disruption, discomfort, etc., 100 m for irritability, depression, loss of memory, dizziness, libido decrease, etc. Women significantly more often than men (p < 0.05) complained of headache, nausea, loss of appetite, sleep disruption, depression, discomfort and visual disrupti ons. This first study on symptoms experienced by people living in the vicinity of base stations shows that, in view of radioprotection, the of minimal distance of people from cellular phone base stations should not be < 300 m.</p>

The series of studies gives strong evidence of a causal relationship between operation of a short-wave radio transmitter and sleep disturbances in the surrounding population, but there is insufficient evidence to distinguish clearly between a biological and a psychological effect.</p>

This follow-up of 60 participants over one and a half years shows a significant effect on the adrenergic system after the installation of a new cell phone base station in the village of Rimbach (Bavaria).<br />
After the activation of the GSM base station, the levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline increased significantly during the first six months; the levels of the precursor dopamine decreased substantially. The initial levels were not restored even after one and a half years. As an indicator of the dysregulated chronic imbalance of the stress system, the phenylethylamine (PEA) levels dropped significantly until the end of the study period.<br />
The effects showed a dose-response relationship and occurred well below current limits for technical RF radiation exposures. Chronic dysregulation of the catecholamine system has great relevance for health and is well known to damage human health in the long run.</p>

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is an increased cancer incidence in populations, living in a small area, and exposed to RF radiation from a cell-phone transmitter station. &#8230; The study indicates an association between increased incidence of cancer and living in proximity to a cell-phone transmitter station.</p>

This book provide updated information concerning mechanism of interaction between non ionising radiation fields and living matter, with particular reference to potential non-thermal toxic effects.<br />
The scientific knowledge available today regarding electromagnetic fields remains limited. Nevertheless, on the basis of recent epidemiological studies, and while awaiting new experimental data, it is advisable to limit exposure to electromagnetic fields as much as possible. This is especially true for children and adolescents, the most vulnerable segments of the population, and has been recommended by both the Swedish and UK health authorities.</p>

Obviously, biologically based exposure standards are needed to prevent disruption of normal body processes and potential adverse health effects of chronic exposure. Based on this review, as well as the reviews in the recent Bioinitiative Report &#8230; , it must be concluded that the existing public safety limits are inadequate to protect public health, and that new public safety limits, as well as limits on further deployment of untested technologies, are warranted.</p>

Possible mechanisms for the interactions between electromagnetic fields and the living organisms are discussed. Demonstrated effects on the blood-brain barrier, as well as a series of other effects upon biology, have caused societal anxiety. Continued research is needed to come to an understanding of how these possible effects can be neutralized, or at least reduced. Furthermore, it should be kept in mind that proven effects on biology also should have positive potentials, e.g., for medical use.</p>

Even if many studies have seen no effects of the EMFs upon biology, an abundance of scientific reports in respected journals have shown significant, though often weak, effects upon cells in vitro, in experimental animals and also in humans. &#8230; If the man made EMFs, such as those utilized in mobile communication, even at extremely low SAR values, causes the users’ own albumin to leak out through the BBB, which is meant to protect the brain, also other unwanted and toxic molecules in the blood, may leak into the brain tissue. There they concentrate in, and damage, the neurones and glial cells of the brain according to our studies. It cannot be excluded that this, (especially after many years intense use) may promote the development of autoimmune and neuro-degenerative diseases!</p>

The results clearly and with great statistical significance show that the DNA was not more damaged by the electromagnetic fields in any of the tissues examined than in the tissues of non-exposed animals. According to these findings, the carcinogenic effects of electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of the UMTS standard can be excluded as the cause of the results observed earlier. Therefore, further studies must now clarify which mechanisms of action are responsible for tumor promotion.</p>

In conclusion, the use of different sources of electro-magnetic fields, have caused great contradictions in the international literature where experiments are not always reproducible, so the topic of biological responses to electromagnetic fields is viewed with great skepticism. There still is a need for further elucidation of the role of ELF in biological and medical systems.</p>

In the present study we analyze the role of polarization in the biological activity of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)/Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). All types of man-made EMFs/EMR &#8211; in contrast to natural EMFs/EMR &#8211; are polarized. Polarized EMFs/EMR can have increased biological activity, due to:<br />
1) Ability to produce constructive interference effects and amplify their intensities at many locations.<br />
2) Ability to force all charged/polar molecules and especially free ions within and around all living cells to oscillate on parallel planes and in phase with the applied polarized field. Such ionic forced-oscillations exert additive electrostatic forces on the sensors of cell membrane electro-sensitive ion channels, resulting in their irregular gating and consequent disruption of the cell’s electrochemical balance. These features render man-made EMFs/EMR more bioactive than natural non-ionizing EMFs/EMR. This explains the increasing number of biological effects discovered during the past few decades to be induced by man-made EMFs, in contrast to natural EMFs in the terrestrial environment which have always been present throughout evolution, although human exposure to the latter ones is normally of significantly higher intensities/energy and longer durations. Thus, polarization seems to be a trigger that significantly increases the probability for the initiation of biological/health effects.</p>
<p><a name="The_Biological_Effects_of_Weak_Electromagnetic_Fields" href="/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/The_Biological_Effects_of_Weak_Electromagnetic_Fields.pdf">The Biological Effects of Weak Electromagnetic Fields</a><br />
1. Well replicated studies have shown that weak electromagnetic fields remove calcium ions bound to the membranes of living cells, making them more likely to tear, develop temporary pores and leak.<br />
2. DNAase (an enzyme that destroys DNA) leaking through the membranes of lysosomes (small bodies in living cells packed with digestive enzymes) explains the fragmentation of DNA seen in cells exposed to mobile phone signals.<br />
When this occurs in the germ line (the cells that give rise to eggs and sperm), it reduces fertility and predicts genetic damage in future generations.<br />
3. Leakage of calcium ions into the cytosol (the main part of the cell) acts as a metabolic stimulant, which accounts for reported accelerations of growth and healing, but it also promotes the growth of tumours.<br />
4. Leakage of calcium ions into neurones (brain cells) generates spurious action potentials (nerve impulses) accounting for pain and other neurological symptoms in electrosensitive individuals. It also degrades the signal to noise ratio of the brain making it less likely to respond adequately to weak stimuli. This may be  partially responsible the increased accident rate of drivers using mobile phones.<br />
5. A more detailed examination of the molecular mechanisms explains many of the seemingly weird characteristics of electromagnetic exposure, e.g. why weak fields are more effective than strong ones, why some frequencies such as 16Hz are especially potent and why pulsed fields do more damage.<br />
&#8230;<br />
However, it seems possible that at least some cases electrosensitivity could be due to low levels of ionised calcium in the blood exacerbating the electromagnetic effects. If so, it may be possible to relieve some or all of the symptoms by conventional treatment for hypocalcemia.</p>

Malignant schwannoma in rat hearts were the most salient findings from the NTP RF bioassay. Acoustic schwannomas in human brains and malignant schwannomas in rat hearts were independently observed from two different body tissues in humans and rats.<br />
There could actually be a link between Schwann cells that wrap around both nerve tissues in the heart and along the auditory nervous system.<br />
&#8230;<br />
Now that the NTP review panel has concluded there is clear evidence of carcinogenicity from long-term RF exposure in rats, is it conceivable that the IARC would upgrade its epidemiology-based classification of RF exposure to the next level of carcinogenicity to humans?</p>

Effects on cognitive functions were evaluated in the episodic-like memory test. In our study, GSM exposed rats had impaired memory for objects and their temporal order of presentation, compared to sham exposed controls (P = 0.02). Detecting the place in which an object was presented was not affected by GSM exposure. Our results suggest significantly reduced memory functions in rats after GSM microwave exposure (P = 0.02).</p>

The exposure was 915 MHz microwaves either pulse modulated (PW) at 217 Hz with 0.57 ms pulse width, at 50 Hz with 6.6 ms pulse width or continuous wave (CW). The frequency of pathological rats (0.17) among controls in the various groups is not significantly different. The frequency of pathological rats was 170/481 (0.35 ± 0.03) among rats exposed to pulse modulated (PW) and 74/149 (0.50 ± 0.07) among rats exposed to continuous wave exposure (CW). These results are both highly significantly different to their corresponding controls (p < 0.0001) and the frequency of pathological rats after exposure to pulsed radiation (PW) is significantly less (p < 0.002) than after exposure to continuous radiation (CW).</p>

Albumin extravasation was enhanced in the mobile phone exposed rats as compared to sham controls after this 7-day recovery period (Fisher’s exact probability test, p = 0.04 and Kruskal–Wallis, p = 0.012), at the SAR-value of 12 mW/kg (Mann–Whitney, p = 0.007) and with a trend of increased albumin extravasation also at the SAR-values of 0.12 mW/kg and 120 mW/kg. There was a low, but significant correlation between the exposure level (SAR-value) and occurrence of focal albumin extravasation (r s = 0.33; p = 0.04).<br />
The present findings are in agreement with our earlier studies where we have seen increased BBB permeability immediately and 14 days after exposure. We here discuss the present findings as well as the previous results of altered BBB permeability from our and other laboratories.</p>

Three groups each of eight rats were exposed for 2 hr to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile phone electromagnetic fields of different strengths. We found highly significant (p < 0.002) evidence for neuronal damage in the cortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats.</p>

If mobile communication, even at extremely low SAR values, causes the users ́ own albumin to leak out through the BBB, which is meant to protect the brain, also other unwanted and toxic molecules in the blood, may leak into the brain tissue and concentrate in and damage the neurones and glial cells of the brain. It can not be excluded that this, (especially after many years intense use) may promote the development of autoimmune and neuro-degenerative diseases, and we conclude that the suppliers of mobile communication – and our politicians – have an extensive responsibility to support the exploration of these possible risks for the users and the society. This is especially true for the new and hitherto barely examined 3G technique which sends microwaves of a different character, and it is quite possible that the biological effects of 3G differ from those of GSM.</p>

There were higher rates of survival in males at the low (2.5 W/kg) and mid (5 W/kg) exposures to CDMA- and GSM-modulated RFR, respectively. Body weights in the exposed groups of animals were similar to their controls. In both studies (GSM and CDMA), there were higher incidences of malignant lymphoma in all groups of female mice exposed to RFR compared to controls. However, the incidences in all of the exposed females were within the range historically observed in this strain of mouse in other NTP studies. There were higher incidences of skin and lung tumors in males exposed to the highest two levels of GSM-modulated RFR (5 and 10 W/kg), and of liver tumors at the mid-dose (5 W/kg) of CDMA-modulated RFR.<br />
Conclusions: For GSM-modulated RFR, we conclude that exposure to RFR may have caused tumors in the skin and lungs of male mice and malignant lymphomas in female mice. For CDMA-modulated RFR, we conclude that exposure to RFR may have caused tumors in the liver of male mice and malignant lymphomas in female mice.</p>

In males for both GSM- and CDMA-modulated RFR, we conclude that exposures increased the number of animals with tumors in the heart. Tumors of the brain were also considered to be related to exposure; and increased numbers of male rats with tumors of the adrenal gland were also related to exposure. We are uncertain whether occurrences of prostate gland, pituitary gland, and pancreatic islet tumors in male rats exposed to GSM-modulated RFR and pituitary gland and liver tumors in male rats exposed to CDMA-modulated RFR were related to RFR exposures. This was also the case with female rats, where we conclude that exposure to GSM- or CDMA-modulated RFR may have been related to tumors in the heart. For females exposed to CDMA-modulated RFR, occurrences of brain and adrenal gland tumors may have been related to exposure.</p>

A statistically significant increase in the incidence of heart Schwannomas was observed in treated male rats at the highest dose (50 V/m). Furthermore, an increase in the incidence of heart Schwann cells hyperplasia was observed in treated male and female rats at the highest dose (50 V/m), although this was not statistically significant. An increase in the incidence of malignant glial tumors was observed in treated female rats at the highest dose (50 V/m), although not statistically significant.<br />
The RI findings on far field exposure to RFR are consistent with and reinforce the results of the NTP study on near field exposure, as both reported an increase in the incidence of tumors of the brain and heart in RFR-exposed Sprague-Dawley rats. These tumors are of the same histotype of those observed in some epidemiological studies on cell phone users. These experimental studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the re-evaluation of IARC conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans.</p>

To summarise, we can answer the question as to whether subjective reports of illness have an objective basis as follows: The redox balanceis disturbed via the direct influence of weak magnetic and electromagnetic fields on the NADH oxidase. The result is oxidative/nitrosative stress. It leads to disruptions and prevention of vital functions. In the course of these processes, exactly those disease symptoms subjectively described by those affected and exposed to radiated fields, are in evidence.<br />
The various problems disappear if the influence of the radiation or the ROS/RNS formation is “switched off” (e.g. ABELIN 1999, ABELIN et al. 1995, HORNIG et al. 2001, PETROV1970, TNO study 2004).<br />
Health is not, however, restored if the disruptions have already led to serious damage such as DNA destruction or tumours.</p>

Our analysis demonstrates that the data from a substantial amount of the studies on RF-EMFs from mobile phones show physiological and/or morphological effects (89.9%, p < 0.001). Additionally, our analysis of the results from these reported studies demonstrates that the maize, roselle, pea, fenugreek, duckweeds, tomato, onions and mungbean plants seem to be very sensitive to RF-EMFs. Our findings also suggest that plants seem to be more responsive to certain frequencies, especially the frequencies between (i) 800 and 1500 MHz (p < 0.0001), (ii) 1500 and 2400 MHz (p < 0.0001) and (iii) 3500 and 8000 MHz (p = 0.0161)</p>

<li>Does orgonite work to protect against 5G?</li>
<li>How to use orgonites for 5G?</li>

<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>You are invited to take the time to read this page very calmly and in all its length, because as with other complicated subjects, people panic, mix and amalgamate the subjects without even understanding much about the subject. I have already seen the same frenzy pass at the time of the transition from 3G to 4G, people said that it was going to be the end of the world, etc.<br />
For your information, I am neither for 5G, nor against, as in any subject, I find that there is good and bad, what is shocking each time is the panic of some and the frenzy of others, there is never a good middleground to study subjects patiently and in detail. Some humans tend to go headlong in new directions without taking their time, which means that sooner or later the consequences of these impulsive actions have to be faced. At the same time other humans panic at the idea of ​​a change and strongly criticize these advancing people, without really trying to understand the subject. We need to find a good middleground, not to advance too quickly, nor to be resistant to change, unfortunately for the moment this good middleground exists only too rarely in our society.</p>
<p><a name="whatis5g"></a><br />
<strong>What is 5G?</strong><br />
5G is an evolution of 4G, it has 3 major technical evolutions that we will discuss without going into too much detail. The deployment of 5G is also planned in two fairly distinct stages which we must also be aware of.</p>
<p><a name="newtechnicalcharacteristics"></a><br />
<strong>New technical features</strong><br />
The 3 main improvements compared to 4G are: shortened connection &#8220;paths&#8221; between two communicating devices (reduced latency), multidirectional antennas and higher frequencies.</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:0.5em;"><span style="font-weight:normal">The first improvement is important for the telecommunications network, but in terms of waves it does not change anything. It is a technical evolution of the network which allows a communication to find the shortest path, ie. imagine that you send an SMS to a friend living 100km away, at present your SMS will be received by the antenna connected to your mobile, then the data of the SMS will be propagated towards several other network points (by wired network or aerial) until it arrives at the antenna which will transmit it to your friend&#8217;s mobile. The problem with the current technology is that data can pass through lots of useless points (and even very far away) which only lengthen time from one point to another and overload certain parts of the network unnecessarily. Each additional interconnect adds about 5-10 milliseconds more. It&#8217;s nothing for a call or a text message, but if it is a matter of controlling a very precise machine from a distance, a reaction time of 10ms or 50ms can make a big difference. With the improvements of the 5G network, data will pass through the shortest paths possible, which will make the network less congested and have less latency/delay. This is important for the vision of connected objects that some technophiles of this world have, the more there will be connected objects the better it will be that the networks are the least congested possible.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:0.5em;"><span style="font-weight:normal">The second improvement is the use of multidirectional antennas. Currently, a 2G/3G/4G antenna transmits the same signal in all directions, which means that it transmits the signal for your mobile in a lot of unnecessary directions. The antennas provided for 5G work with a principle of &#8220;phased array&#8221; which allows to orient the signal and there are several dozen mini antennas (even hundreds) per antenna. So a 5G antenna (here we are talking about an entire panel placed on a mast) contains a lot of mini antennas which allows it to transmit specifically in a more precise direction, this saves energy by not transmitting in unnecessary directions and also to use one or more antennas in the same direction to boost the signal when necessary.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:0.5em;"><span style="font-weight:normal">The third improvement is the use of higher frequencies. Until now the frequencies used by 2G/3G/4G generally did not go beyond 3.5 GHz. With 5G it is planned to use much higher frequencies, especially around 26-28 GHz, but also more widely from 3 GHz to 60 GHz. This is necessary in order to be able to increase the bandwidth of the connection, because at present, being globally limited between 800 MHz (0.8 GHz) and 3.5 GHz, the speed cannot be significantly increased. Because for that it would be necessary to be able to allocate, for example, a single frequency band from 2 GHz to 3 GHz for a single mobile, which will limit the number of other phones that can connect at the same time. From 0.8 GHz to 3.5 GHz, you can make 2 connections of this kind, one from 1 to 2 GHz, the other from 2 to 3 GHz and everything is almost used. Whereas with a much wider frequency band from 3 to 60 GHz, you can allocate 3-4 GHz to one phone, 4-5 to another, 5-6 to another, etc. There is enough to do this for 50 simultaneous connections. With the current frequencies between 0.8 and 3.5 GHz, a connection to a mobile allocates in general around 100 MHz (0.1 GHz), which limits the transfer rate quite significantly.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><a name="deploymentsteps"></a><br />
<strong>Deployment steps</strong><br />
Overall there are two quite distinct, right now, in 2020, we are only in the early stages of the first step.</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:0.5em;"><span style="font-weight:normal">The first step of deployment.<br />
Right now we can say that what is being deployed is 4G+, it is not yet the planned 5G as expected when it will be fully deployed. The telecommunication companies are in the process of deploying the improvements 1 and 2 mentioned above, ie. improve the interconnection network between the transmission antennas to reduce latency times/delays and set up panels with multidirectional mini-antennas.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:0.5em;"><span style="font-weight:normal">The second stage of deployment is the use of higher frequencies, beyond 3-3.5 GHz.<br />
It is far from being tested in full-scale, there are still lots of technical problems to solve, mobilephones are still totally not ready, the higher frequency bands are not yet allocated in lots of countries, etc. The panels currently deployed do not yet support these new frequencies.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><a name="falseinformation"></a><br />
<strong>Misinformation</strong><br />
I therefore allow myself to take a quick tour of the erroneous information that is present on the internet at the moment.</p>
<ul>
<a name="highfrequencies"></a></p>
<li><strong>Use of very high frequencies</strong><br />
The use of frequencies beyond 5-6 GHz is technically very problematic, for 5G it hasn&#8217;t even started. The attributions of these frequencies to the mobile operators are hardly started in a majority of countries in the world and the technical problems associated with the use of these frequencies are multiple.<br />
Do note that high frequencies are already in use since 10-20 years for radio-relay systems, with these drums that everyone can observe at the top of large telecommunications masts.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/drums_n.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/drums_n-300x300.jpg" alt="drums_n" width="300" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12360" /></a><br />
They can use frequencies between 0 and 80 GHz.<br />
These drums are used to propagate a signal in a straight line, in front of one of these drums, at 5, 10, 20, 50km there must necessarily be another drum opposite perfectly positioned for communication to take place. These drums are used to avoid digging trenches and pulling cables from one antenna to another. It would be really better if they pulled cables to avoid having all these extra waves&#8230; Just know that they have been around for a long time and that high frequencies are already used.<br />
These drums are even already used in cities for communications from one building to another for certain companies, in a straight line in very high floors where there is no obstacle between two buildings.<br />
Orgonites have already shown their effects thousands of times with these drums, so we also know that they are ready for the massive arrival of these high frequencies in the urban world. Even if once again, I am not very happy with these technological developments made without paying much attention to the health impacts.<br />
Very high frequencies cannot generally be easily used in a dense urban environment, that&#8217;s why there are still a lot of technical problems to be resolved for the real 5G as it is imagined. High frequencies, beyond 5-10 GHz, penetrate very badly through buildings, human bodies and any other obstacle. You need free air, windows, paper/plastic and nothing else. It will always be the lowest frequencies that will be used to make connections through denser walls and materials. So to receive 5G at 1Gbps in an apartment it will be necessary to have a 5G antenna in a straight line somewhere not far away and which passes through the window, the use of these high frequencies will be completely impossible if there is a wall in the path. This is why the principle of very precise multidirectional antennas is important. These antennas must detect when it is possible to use such or such frequency towards a telephone, based on the obstacles which are between the antenna and this mobile.<br />
It is also why it is true that there will probably be a frenzy to cut trees and other obstacles in the environment to allow 5G to pass and why antennas will be needed everywhere. Because it must also be understood that the high frequencies of microwaves cannot emit very far, the signals at 60 GHz for example cannot emit a well detectable signal further than 1-2km (on the contrary a signal of 800 MHz/0.8 GHz can easily be received several tens of kilometers away, this is why television by antenna uses frequencies between 500 and 800 MHz).<br />
That said, at the moment there has been a lot of false information about trees that have been cut in cities and where it has been blamed on 5G, when it was always for reasons of urban planning, too old trees, reconstruction of an avenue, etc. even if sometimes these actions are sometimes still absurd. At present, in 2020, this is useless because no equipment deployed on a large scale in an urban environment emits at those frequencies, but it is good to remain vigilant on this aspect. If one day it will really be necessary to cut a lot of trees everywhere to allow for the arrival of 5G at very high speed, this will probably not be done so easily and will even be an obstacle to an all-out use of 5G, because it will really have to disfigure our environment. But it will also be necessary to construct buildings with walls made of materials other than concrete, the use of frequencies above 10 GHz in a dense urban environment is a real headache. Just as the use of these high frequencies in a sparse rural environment, because it will take a lot of antennas close to each house to serve signals at 10-30 GHz, this is simply absurd and economically unsustainable. Burying fiber optic cables will be much cheaper.</p>
</li>
<p><a name="oxygen60ghz"></a></p>
<li><strong>The frequency of 60 GHz and oxygen</strong><br />
There is a lot of false information on this subject right now too.<br />
The frequency of 60 GHz corresponds to lines of absorption of oxygen and water vapor, so the weakening of radio waves at these frequencies is very important. Put more simply, water vapor and oxygen greatly block the passage of signals at frequencies of 60 GHz, which means that these frequencies have not been allocated historically, more precisely the band of 57-64 GHz, because nobody considered them interesting. Nowadays, imagining a wifi router just for a room is possible, even sometimes preferable because it prevents the signal from going out of the room, which is a good measure of security. So the 60 GHz frequencies are starting to interest the industry, for people/objects detection/counting radars too. Since these frequencies were not attractive at one time, there is no license to use these frequencies today in most countries, which makes them very attractive. Otherwise one has to pay dearly to create devices using such or such frequencies.<br />
These frequencies, due to their technical characteristics have advantages of non-interference between them, because they only go in the desired direction, for any other direction, since oxygen and water vapor absorb them, they do not spread.<br />
There is already, since around 2013, a WiFi standard (IEEE802.11ad) called WiGig using frequencies at 60 GHz to offer theoretical speeds of 2GBps, but it is the industry that is trying to go too fast. Because in practical use few people manage to get a better speed than WiFi in 2-5 GHz. These extraordinary speeds only work a few meters from the router and very badly. Yet these WiGig routers began to be marketed in 2016, in 4 years of existence this technology is still almost unusable in the real world.<br />
We can already see the limits of the absurd use of these high frequencies. There is sensational publicity for real results that are actually completely unusable.<br />
Even in a very narrow straight line, as explained above for the drums, these very high frequencies only work for distances of 1-2km, drums which transmit at 10, 20, 50km use much lower frequencies. At the moment there are no wireless technology capable of competing with the transfer rates of fiber optics.<br />
There are already 60 GHz drums used for urban communications of less than 1-1.5 km, but for these drums to work they must be placed in areas where there is absolutely no obstacle between them, otherwise they cannot work. They are generally used in high places in large cities to pass a signal from one building to another not too far away.

<li><strong>Hundreds of birds killed by 5G</strong><br />
These types of stories were already widespread for the transition from 3G to 4G too, there is none that has been proven true over time, there are cases where there is no answer. But for example, a recent case about dead birds in the Netherlands at the Hague in the Huijgenspark in 2020 or at the end of 2019 for the 5G test. However it turns out that this mass death took place in October 2018 for partially understandable reasons (dead birds with bruises, due to high speed shocks).<br />

<p>Or this photo, which was massively shared about a 5G bird slaughter.<br />

This photo is real, that being said the death of these birds is due to a storm in Rome which brought down a tree which brought tons of birds with it, the death of the birds is really located around this tree.<br />

<p>The frequencies used today have not changed much. The connection of the mobile panels/antennas, as in the photo below, shows it.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/1-300x169.jpg" alt="1" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12370" /></a></p>
<p>The connexions of these antennas have always been very similar for years, the frequencies are always between 0.8 GHz and 3-3.5 GHz. Since the era of 2G&#8230;<br />

<strong>Health implications</strong><br />
Having explained all the broad outlines of the subject, in these technical details, I must approach the health aspect, but calmly.<br />
It was necessary to straighten out the subject, dead birds in droves, 60 GHz, breathing difficulties due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and many other aberrations published on social networks are just false.<br />
I understand the panic of many people who are afraid of health repercussions, large-scale tracking, overuse of technology, etc. But this panic also makes people believe in a lot of things that only amplify the panic, when they are false.</p>
<p>That is not to say that the deployment of 5G should be taken lightly. I am personally generally against it, but I also see some good things in it, unfortunately they come linked with many bad aspects!<br />
For example, the principle of very precise multidirectional antennas is really a principle which makes sense, the antennas would no longer emit unnecessarily in unwanted directions. But on the other hand there is no limit for the moment to how many antennas could transmit towards a mobile, a person could be somewhere with 8 antennas transmitting towards it.<br />
The principle of energy saving is also useful.<br />
The principle of having faster connections (especially response time) is also useful and this evolution has nothing to do with changes in the radiowaves.<br />
On the other hand, the use of very high frequencies when it is clearly demonstrated that these frequencies are strongly absorbed by living beings is very bad, given how it is developing at present. Because from a purely theoretical point of view, normally this would be good, because the antennas should only transmit when the conditions are good, that is to say that there is no obstacle between the antenna and the object to connect to. In this case there is no reason to worry about the direct health effects on an animal/human, since there will be nothing in the way of the waves.<br />
But, in practice, the theory is not applied, we can already see it with manufacturers who have been trying to sell WiFi routers (WiGig) at 60 GHz since around 2016, these routers still do not implement any of the selectivity rules of 5G wave emission, that is, emit only when there is no obstacle. This is what is fundamentally wrong every time, the ideas are good, but they are deployed so quickly that in the end it lacks three quarters of the original idea. Obstacle detection technologies are still in research, it will take time for them to work well, meanwhile manufacturers will most likely already try to deploy 5G without all of what it is supposed to be.</p>
<p>That being said, even if antennas emit at 30-60 Ghz only when there is no obstacle, it still does not take into account the effects of these radiowaves on the environment. They will obviously not have a direct impact on living beings, since they are not supposed to be emitted on a living being, but these waves interact with matter in ways that are still almost not documented. With orgonites we have very striking results of the effects of these waves on a large scale on the climate, even if they are non-ionizing and supposedly harmless, their effects on the climate are clear in certain situations.<br />
In Spain, there are antennas along the whole coast, with drums (radio-relay systems) which relay signals from one antenna to another, a person had placed orgonites at most of these antennas around 2010, on almost 2000 km of the coastline. These antennas clearly created a kind of invisible barrier that prevented rain coming from the Atlantic from entering Spain. Once all these antennas were gifted (orgonites added close) there was much more rain coming from the Atlantic. Before that they were really blocked.<br />
Of course, it would also be necessary to take into account the effects of atmospheric pollutants, which tamper with precipitations or modify the movements of air masses by causing or preventing rainfall, warming/cooling the atmosphere by reflecting the sun or infrared rays, etc. this is still relevant. The subject is very broad.</p>
<p>Non-ionizing waves, even in the open air, have effects that are still largely ignored by science. Thus, since science and industry do not consider these effects, they do not conduct any researches. We continue to deploy technologies whose effects on a large scale are completely unknown.</p>
<p>The effects on living beings do not even need to be mentioned, there are so many studies that are ignored. If 5G was really properly deployed it could help mitigate the effects of the waves by transmitting only in the desired directions and when necessary, but we unfortunately know that private companies are still going too fast and do things always halfway.</p>
<p>Thus, if 5G is deployed without all the technology it is supposed to be, the fact that the waves in the frequencies of 10-60 GHz and more are very absorbed by any obstacle is one of the subjects of most concern for some scientists. Because these frequencies have wavelengths that will make human hair act like antennas, insects with their antennas will pick up these frequencies too, etc. It is undeniable that this will have harmful repercussions on the health of many living beings. Again, as in the past, these effects are subtle and mild in most cases, but accumulated over long periods of time these effects become harmful, like those that are now known with regards to brain tumors that form after heavy use for more than 10 years on the side of the ear which has been very exposed to a mobile phone. At the moment we cannot predict exactly what these new frequencies will do, but it is obvious that they will have deleterious effects.<br />
The effects of high power waves have also been proven for years, some trees placed in front of transmitting antennas have a large part of their foliage which is totally killed.</p>
<blockquote><p>A study has been done on this subject, the results are clear.<br />
<a href="/?p=12604&#038;lang=en#review_weak_radiofrequency_radiation_exposure_from_mobile_phone_radiation_on_plants">Review: Weak radiofrequency radiation exposure from mobile phone radiation on plants</a><br />
Our analysis demonstrates that the data from a substantial amount of the studies on RF-EMFs from mobile phones show physiological and/or morphological effects (89.9%, p < 0.001). Additionally, our analysis of the results from these reported studies demonstrates that the maize, roselle, pea, fenugreek, duckweeds, tomato, onions and mungbean plants seem to be very sensitive to RF-EMFs. Our findings also suggest that plants seem to be more responsive to certain frequencies, especially the frequencies between (i) 800 and 1500 MHz (p < 0.0001), (ii) 1500 and 2400 MHz (p < 0.0001) and (iii) 3500 and 8000 MHz (p = 0.0161)</p></blockquote>
<p>Having said that, it should be remembered that you mustn&#8217;t believe in everything and anything too quickly, there are also trees that die from prolonged, repeated droughts and empty water tables. With the waves, the trees show signs, often with one part of the tree dead and the other alive, but an antenna will not kill an entire forest.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/EH5l6a3X4AI_Ejj.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/EH5l6a3X4AI_Ejj-225x300.jpeg" alt="EH5l6a3X4AI_Ejj" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12489" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/EH5l6a2X4AEDTIx.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/EH5l6a2X4AEDTIx-225x300.jpeg" alt="EH5l6a2X4AEDTIx" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12490" /></a><br />
On the other hand, as explained above, artificial waves have little documented effects on the climate, the accumulation of artificial waves in the environment can very clearly cause disturbances which lead for example to exacerbate droughts and therefore cause the slow death of forests.</p>
<p>Not to mention the SpaceX/Starlink satellites etc. which will further increase the density of artificial waves in the environment.</p>
<p>The potential effects of artificial waves on living beings are well demonstrated by many scientific studies: <a href="/?p=12604&#038;lang=en">Scientific publications on the effects of artificial microwaves on living beings</a></p>
<p>There is another important aspect to take into account on this subject, all artificial electromagnetic waves are polarized. This is the most important difference between natural electromagnetic waves, which have globally random polarizations, and artificial electromagnetic waves, which have fixed polarizations. The density of artificial electromagnetic waves has considerably increased in the human environment since the years 1990-2000, but what makes them have cumulative deleterious effects is their fixed polarization. Because there are lots of natural electromagnetic waves from everywhere, visible light, infrared, UV-A, UV-B, but these natural waves have random polarizations, that way they do not disturb the living world, which has been used to them for millennia.<br />
The proliferation of artificial waves in our environment is clearly a problem that will one day have to be taken into account, because the cumulation of these polarized waves creates interference zones where the power of these waves becomes large enough to induce effects on living cells, at minimal scales of a few tens of millivolts, very locally, therefore difficult to detect by measuring devices. These electrical potentials are sufficient to affect the permeability of the cells and for example disturb the exchange processes of ions of calcium, potassium, sodium, etc. in the human body.<br />

<strong>The usage of orgonites in all of this?</strong></p>
<p>So here we are with the recommendations to tell you which orgonites to use, how and why.<br />
First there is this general message on all descriptions of unique orgonites:<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>General information:</strong><br/>
The description is made by a friend sensitive to subtle energies.<br/>
This description can not be more precise, just as it is impossible for a psychologist to tell an individual immediately and exactly why he/she has such a concern, nor how long it will take to be settled, nor how it will happen.<br/>
What will happen between you and the orgonite will be unique and suited to you and/or the environment.<br/>
<br/>
All orgonites have the same basic effects:<br/>
<ul>
<li>Neutralize the negative effects of EM fields.</li>
<li>Energize water, food, minerals, etc.</li>
<li>Harmonize/neutralize natural faults, such as Curry lines cross, Hartmann, etc.</li>
<li>Globally strengthen the vitality of all living things: plants, animals, humans.</li>
</ul>
<br/>
Each addition (stone, plant, seashell, etc.) has a unique influence that adds itself to this common base, like spices/herbs added to a basic dish.<br/>

</blockquote><br />
This applies to all orgonites on this site, it is the basis of the effects of any orgonite.<br />
They all have the effect to <strong>&#8220;Neutralize the negative effects of EM fields.&#8221;</strong>.<br />
This is explained in more detail on this page: <a href="/?page_id=335&#038;lang=en#ex_technic">What’s orgonite &gt; Technical explanations of orgonite</a></p>
<p>As also explained in the above section: <a href="#sanitaryproblems">Health implications</a>, there are already a lot of past results from using orgonites on the climate during <a href="/?page_id=1251&#038;lang=en" title="What’s gifting">giting</a> on a large scale on transmitting antennas. Because these already have drums (relays/radio-relay systems) transmitting at frequencies up to 80 GHz since more than 10-20 years, although in reality these drums most often emit around 5-15 GHz because the higher frequencies don&#8217;t go far enough.<br />
Orgonites have already shown their effects on the climate with these antennas many times in the past, you can see it on the <a href="/?page_id=948&#038;lang=en">Blog</a> which describes some of my own giftings. It is always a very similar effect, when the climatic conditions lend themselves to it, the sky uncovers itself and forms a sort of thinning/circular opening in the clouds above certain antennas and/or areas. It is an effect very similar to that which also occurs sporadically above a <a href="/?p=426&#038;lang=en">Cloudbuster</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Orgonites work on the frequencies of 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7A, 8G, etc. It&#8217;s that simple.</strong><br />
As explained above: <a href="#deploymentsteps">Deployment steps</a>, when the frequencies will increase, it will also work, even if this evolution is still far from being massively deployed.</p>
<p>Whether for WiFi, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G it&#8217;s the same, all orgonites work equally well, if someone says somewhere that it requires an evolution of orgonite (to add certain metals , certain stones, certain shapes, etc.), this is simply not true. Any well fabricated orgonite (<a href="/?page_id=866&#038;lang=en">Basic rules to make orgonites</a>) works very well to neutralize the harmful effects of microwaves for any frequency.<br />
This is explained in more detail here: <a href="/?page_id=335&#038;lang=en#frequencies__101">What’s orgonite &gt; Frequencies with which orgonites can interact</a><br />
<strong>An orgonite works for waves at all frequencies present on our planet! All those that exist and are used today (artificial and natural), but also for all those to come.</strong><br />
This has been the case since the beginning of the existence of orgonites and it will remain so.</p>
<p>It is also good to re-specify, as it is explained in the first box here: <a href="/?page_id=335&#038;lang=en#orgonite_materials_properties">What’s orgonite &gt; Properties of materials in orgonite</a>.</p>
<p>Do not expect artificial waves to disappear, orgonites do not work like this, they decrease the harmful effects of these waves on our body, they help living beings to react differently to waves, to be less affected. The sources emitting the waves cannot change, but the orgonites act on the environment and the artificial waves present with, described briefly, two complementary processes:</p>
<ul>
<li>They reestablish a greater and more stable equilibrium in the coalescence fractals of the surrounding environment. Which is beneficial for all living things.</li>
<li>They promote a more random polarization of all waves and therefore artificial waves, when there are enough orgonites distributed fairly homogeneously.</li>
</ul>
<p>This effect occurs with all types and frequencies of waves, it&#8217;s as simple as that.</p>
<p>There is just one type of orgonite on this site which seems to be more effective against the radiowaves than the others, these are the <a href="/?p=386&#038;lang=en">Induction TB</a>.<br />
It is still not clear exactly why, but the feedback from people who are slightly electro-sensitive, or very electro-sensitive, always go in this direction.<br />
It is explained a little here: <a href="/?page_id=782&#038;lang=en#combienorgonites">“Operating Instructions” for orgonites &gt; How many orgonites are required for…?</a>. Feedback from people who did gifting on antennas has often indicated that an <a href="/?p=386&#038;lang=en">Induction TB</a> had as much effect as 2-4 basic <a href="/?p=13&#038;lang=en">TB</a>.</p>
<p><a name="orgoniteshowandhowmany"></a><br />
<strong>How to place orgonites and how many?</strong><br />
This is explained in a very simple fashion here: <a href="/?page_id=782&#038;lang=en#commentplacerorgonites">“Operating Instructions” for orgonites &gt; Where/how to place/use orgonite?</a></p>
<blockquote><p>As a general rule just place the orgonite the closest to where you want the positive effect. If it’s to transmute the electromagnetic waves of a WiFi router, place the orgonite on it, or under, or next to it. If its’ for a plant place the orgonite at the base of the plant. If it’s to purify/energise water or drinking water put the orgonite just next to the bottle/jug etc. If it’s for yourself, just keep it in your pocket or bag or wherever you can keep it, close to your bed or under your bed if you are prone to sleeping problems, it might help, even a lot for some.</p></blockquote>
<p>To go into more detail, specifically regarding electromagnetic waves, the best thing to do is to have some <a href="/?p=386&#038;lang=en">Induction TB(s)</a> to place near the objects that emit the most, or in the path where the waves come from, if you know it. And a few more basic <a href="/?p=13&#038;lang=en">TB(s)</a> to disperse in or around your home.<br />
<a href="/?p=1925&#038;lang=en">Gifting TB(s)</a> do the job very well too, they&#8217;re just a little less pretty.</p>
<p>Having orgonites dispersed in a fairly homogeneous way in a house, or around a house, means that the harmful effects of artificial waves coming from outside are generally neutralized. As explained just before, by the two complementary processes. Firstly they restore a greater balance in the coalescence fractals in the close environment, secondly, if distributed everywhere on/in the place, they promote a more random polarization of the artificial waves.</p>
<blockquote><p>The only concrete observation of these effects which has already been observed many times is in apartments surrounded by several wifi transmitters. Often a person can observe in this environment that there are 10-20 and more wifi networks picked up on a computer or smartphone.<br />
After scattering 10-20 orgonites (TBs) around the apartment, many people observed that all the very weak wifi networks disappeared. This is due to the randomization of polarization that occurs. Polarization is a property of waves that is often forgotten, because everything is done nowadays to capture regardless of the direction of the polarization, with multidirectional reception antennas. But if you observe the transmitting antennas, they are often vertical, to emit a circular field around the antenna; a vertically polarized field.<br />
Most of the artificial waves emitted have a fixed polarization, generally vertical.<br />
The orgonites scattered in a house will pick up and re-emit the waves and randomize the polarization due to the totally random positioning of the metal shavings which pick up/reflect/re-emit (in addition to other subtle effects not measurable with devices today).<br />
As a result, low intensity waves become very difficult to capture as they lose their fixed polarization.<br />
It is also this effect which makes the artificial waves more bearable, a human being can bear waves as already explained above, it is the excess of polarized waves in a fixed way which is harmful. The more the polarizations are random, the more they are bearable by a human body. In nature, electromagnetic waves (at frequencies other than our artificial waves) are almost always randomly polarized except perhaps in certain configurations of places which favor polarization because of fairly ordered reflections.</p></blockquote>
<p>That said, don&#8217;t forget that the more you place orgonites around you the more it increases the vibratory rate of the place, by what is described above as the greater balance of coalescence fractals. Be aware that this can lead to other effects in addition to protecting you from harmful wave effects: <a href="/?page_id=568&#038;lang=en">Effects of orgonite on living things</a>.<br />
These other effects are very beneficial in the long term, but initially it can sometimes be disturbing. That said, the most frequent initial observation is still very beneficial, better sleep.</p>
<p><a name="whatothermethod"></a><br />
<strong>What else can be done to protect oneself from artificial waves?</strong><br />
The best solution would be to go out in nature, far from everything&#8230; Since it is almost impossible for the majority of people to do this, there are a few general rules which are nevertheless good to follow.</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom:0.5em;">Keep as far as possible all the sources of waves on which we can act. For example, turn off the WiFi function of routers at home and wire the whole house with Ethernet cables. Deactivate the &#8220;mobile data&#8221; mode of mobile phones when it is not necessary, activate it only when it is necessary. Even put them in airplane mode. Do not have a cordless landline phone, etc. If you&#8217;re not be able to turn off the wave sources during the day, do so at least at night, they really disturb sleep, even if these effects are very subtle and difficult to notice. Because according to many studies, all damage to DNA and cells caused by waves is reversible when they are not too serious, so making sure that we have at least a sleep without exposure to artificial waves is already better than nothing so that our body can regenerate well at night. If you live in an apartment and the waves come from the neighbouring wall, obviously it will probably be hard to motivate this neighbour to change his habits, in that case the best thing to do is to arrange our place to have the places where we stay fixed at home (sofa, desk, etc.) as far as possible from where these waves come.<br />
It is always the same recommendation, expose yourself as little as possible to the waves and if you cannot avoid it, try to be as far as possible from the source of these waves and/or stay there as little as possible.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0.5em;">If you are the owner of your home and have the means, a simple and effective method, for life, to remove all the radiation that can come from the electrical network of the house: PLC, pulsed signals of Smart-meters, pulsed signals leaking from the electrical network coming from neighbours, etc. is to install a shielded wiring with earthing. It has to be done only once, it has its cost, but once done, no matter what passes and will pass through the cables, they will never leak any electromagnetic pollution again. It is almost obvious that these cables will one day become the norm for all new constructions.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0.5em;">The third solution, which is less easy to implement, is to use Faraday cages. This is what is done in the above explanation with shielded cables, these are cables with a complete metal exterior, which has the effect of a Faraday cage. A completely closed metal box prevents any electromagnetic wave from entering or leaving it, this is the effect of a Faraday cage. Some extremely electro-sensitive people are forced to cover all the walls of their housing with metallic paints to transform their place into a Faraday cage. It&#8217;s really an extreme version of the subject. If you are not highly electro-sensitive it is not necessarily necessary, there are less complete alternatives, but very useful to protect certain parts of a home. If you cannot for example change the opinion of the neighbours who have many sources of radiowaves in their place, you can find canopies (curtains) for your bed in fine metal mesh, they have their price, but once again, it is a lifetime investment. You can also close it completely by doing the same above and below the bed, to at least have a sleep out of reach of any artificial wave, this is the most important. In a more simplified version, it is also possible to cover for example a door of a room with a metal plate, connected to the earth socket, this will pick up all the waves coming from behind the door and they will not be able to reach you. This is again a good option if you are in an apartment and disturbed by a neighbour&#8217;s WiFi, if you know where it is, behind which wall, you can place a 2m x 2m aluminium plate connected to an earth socket, the thinnest plate possible, the thickness is not particularly important. Since waves propagate in a straight line from the source point from which these waves are produced, this plate will almost completely protect you from all the radiation coming from this neighbouring WiFi.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom:0.5em;">Lastly, attention must be paid to diet, health, sleep, stress, etc. It is always very important to remember this, because a large majority of scientific studies nevertheless indicate that pulsed artificial waves have very negligible impacts on the human body if they are of low power. When healthy, the human body is normally quite able to withstand these effects. It is obviously even better if it would not have to withstand them, without waves it would clearly be better. It is a general observation that may be made, that highly electrosensitive people are in the vast majority also affected by one or more autoimmune diseases. The question of whether electro-sensitivity caused the weakening of the immune system or whether the weakened immune system caused electro-sensitivity is another question, such as the fact that perhaps there are also genetic predispositions, intoxication of the body with certain heavy metals, etc. It is too long to enter into this debate here, it is just to clarify that I do not denigrate electro-sensitive people, but this observation is often frequent, they have a weakened immune system for reasons sometimes hard to elucidate. For a rather healthy person, having a weakened immune system necessarily makes us more vulnerable, our body is normally very able to resist waves if they are of weak power and that the density of the radiations is not too dense.</li>

Hi,<br />
This is just a review of what&#8217;s planned for this year, a lot of big works. Mostly terraforming and setting up the infrastructure to prevent outside hoes and deer from coming inside. Setting up an access to water, if we want to produce something we do need some water sometimes (some plants really need water to grow). Plants can withstand not having much water, which is good for them to improve their resistance and genetics, but to produce more at some point once the genetics are improved, we&#8217;ll still need some water for the driest parts of the season.<br />
Also setting up a greenhouse on location is essential, we have a greenhouse 10-15km away, but it takes up a lot of time to juggle between both places.<br />
And we&#8217;ll continue to add more shrubs around the outside fence. Meanwhile we&#8217;ll still care for some tomatoes, cabbages, kales, cucumbers, peas, beans, etc. But probably less than past years. The works this year will be so that we can focus on the plants more thoroughly afterwards <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

with time I&#8217;m starting to understand some cycles. Winter vegetables are very important, because in winter, in northern regions, all that&#8217;s left are fruits apple/pears, nuts/hazelnuts and some leftovers of summer vegetables, some tomatoes etc. Potatoes evidently etc. But we can also have living vegetables during the winter to eat some fresh stuff in the middle of winter <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
I forgot to mention in the video, the best way to conserve carrots, beetroots, parsnips, even potatoes, jerusalem artichokes. All root vegetables, is to leave them in the ground and harvest them when needed <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  If they are not eaten by rodents.. Black radishes and other winter radishes are good as well, not summer varieties..<br />
Cabbages/Kales must remain outside, if there are no deers and hoes also <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  They grow right in the middle of winter.<br />
So that&#8217;s it, a small video for the winter vegetables that can stay outside in zones where it&#8217;s freezing in the winter. There are also winter spinach, cress and plants like those, but these need protection against the frost, those that are very interesting are those we can harvest fresh throughout winter and that don&#8217;t need any work to protect them <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  IMO, kales are great for that and fresh onions <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
Beetroots cannot stay outside the whole winter, from what I&#8217;ve seen, they start becoming wood after january/february to start the flowering process coming afterward. The leaves of flowering beetroots are amazingly tasty in may/june <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Small update on the garden, also continuing to follow the carrots, parsnips and cabbages/kales cycles. For other how already know me, it&#8217;s as usual, I&#8217;m not following entirely normal rules of gardening, because they&#8217;re not all great and also because I want to bread stronger and sturdier varieties of plants. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
Producing food is still not the main focus of the garden, there&#8217;s no watering on purpose since 5 years already.</p>

Link to the video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXcZCxt_YJA&#038;list=PLdFnvuruLErwGmitpUi5zRFonCoWJSeNw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXcZCxt_YJA</a><br />
I haven&#8217;t had time to build the &#8216;fences&#8217; of support to put on the sides of the bins to prevent tall plants from falling down on the paths..<br />
Else the formation of seeds on the kales/cabbages is carrying on, by the end of june most of them should be ready. For onions it will be mi july/end july, carrots and parsnips will follow later, in all cases it&#8217;s not urgent for them as their seeds are to be resown in winter or in the beginning of next spring..<br />
The tomatoes I have put outside by the end of may are doing really well.<br />
Else it&#8217;s warm and dry (which is great for tomatoes) and without watering it&#8217;s hard for some plants, we&#8217;ve had since 3-4 years no single year with a &#8220;standard&#8221; weather.<br />
This year, very dry and frost until end of april and dry and warm after..<br />
Last year, floodings in april/mai, then very dry and hot for 3 months.<br />
The year before, a nice spring but summer totally rainy and quite cold..<br />
Anyhow, these are great years for me who wants plants to become sturdier, they have a lot of different harsh conditions to withstand in a couple of years!!<br />
The strawberries installed since 3-4 years produce very well even with the total lack of rain, whereas those installed last year or 2 years ago are still struggling because of the drought, their roots are not deep enough yet.<br />
Obviously, still no watering, except when it&#8217;s totally necessary, there I water very abundantly, mimicking nature and a good rainy storm, when the plants I want to keep on living and produce offspring are on the brink of death..<br />
I did that twice on the young strawberries and once on the cucumbers on the 23rd of june, their roots are not deep enough yet and the soil lacks mulch to cover it.</p>

Follow up on the garden, harvest of cabbage, kale, kohlrabi seeds and some weeding.<br />
Skip form 2min35 to 9min10 and from 11min40 to 18min10 if you don&#8217;t want to watch the accelerated video of me weeding a bit the garden.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>This is a re-transcript of the original page available here: <a href="http://www.whale.to/b/torsion_cbs.htm">http://www.whale.to/b/torsion_cbs.htm</a><br />
As this is a valuable information, I thought it was useful to keep it safe and also translate it into other languages.<br />
The author of this original forum post in the end of 2005 and creator (I am not sure about the whole history, I&#8217;m just re-transcripting) of this torsion Cloudbuster is Laozu.</p></blockquote>
<p>The basic cloud-buster, and the one I first made, consists of six vertical copper pipes spaced uniformly in a circle, and placed in a cylinder of orgonite, with a quartz crystal at the base of each of the pipes. I buried my first one in the ground, because this gave it better contact with the qi which flows through the ground: a simplified diagram (only four pipes show) is as follows:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt1.jpg" alt="cbt1" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4787" /></p>
<p>After I buried it, I made daily observations of the qi flow into and out of it, and after a month or so, I tried to get some sort of geometrical idea of the qi dispersal, when the CB was working normally. In the following diagram, the qi most strongly influenced by the CB is white and that less strongly influenced is yellow:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt2.gif" alt="cbt2" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4788" /></p>
<p>Negative qi spiraled down from the sky (counter-clockwise viewed from above) and qi spiraled up from the ground (again counter-clockwise viewed from above). The boundary of the spirals roughly formed a hyperbolid (or hour-glass) shape: this boundary is indicated by purple curves. Where the two spirals came together was where the negative qi was transmuted into positive qi:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt3.gif" alt="cbt3" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4789" /></p>
<p>If we remove the pipes from the diagram, and place a line tangent to the boundary curves, we get<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt4.gif" alt="cbt4" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4790" /></p>
<p>This suggested to me that I should set the 6 pipes at an angle, somewhat the same as this tangent pipe &#8212; the following diagram shows the idea with two pipes:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt5.gif" alt="cbt5" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4791" /></p>
<p>I did this, and found that the qi moved somewhat as indicated in the following diagram:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt6.gif" alt="cbt6" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4792" /></p>
<p>Since the positive qi (colored red) swirled upward in the center from where the transmutation took place at the narrow part of the 6-pipe configuration, I added a seventh pipe in the center to help direct it. This worked well, but only when the bottom of the seventh pipe was held high enough that it was just above the transmutation spot. When I let the center pipe move down further, the effect diminished considerably.<br />
I also found that this &#8220;torsion CB&#8221; worked better than the standard only if the pipes were twisted so that they pointed into the swirl of the negative qi swirling downward. You can see the way they should go from Rich&#8217;s photo:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt7.jpg" alt="cbt7" width="384" height="288" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4793" /></p>
<p><strong>Construction</strong></p>
<p>First a bucket with a template at the bottom &#8212; note that the holes are at the edge of the template, and they are a little larger than normal because the pipes will be at an angle and so will take more room in the template than if they were straight up and down:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt8.jpg" alt="cbt8" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4794" /></p>
<p>I use four 1&#8243; diameter 10&#8242; long copper pipes, which I cut into 8 5&#8242; lengths. Six for the regular pipes, one for the center pipe, and one I cut further into 6 equal (10&#8243;) pieces.On each of the small pieces I solder (or glue) a cap on one end and a coupling on the other. Instead of a cap one can also just place good tape (such as black electrical tape) over the end.<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt9.jpg" alt="cbt9" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4795" /></p>
<p>Then I cut a second wooden stabilizer, similar to the one in the bucket, with a larger diameter so that the holes are an inch or more from the edge for the disk. I also make a hole in the center, 1&#8243; in diameter, for the center pipe to fit through later.</p>
<p>I put good quartz crystals in the bottoms of the small pipes, pour some metal shavings or bbs over the crystals so that the shavings/bbs come just to the top of the crystals, and then pour resin into the short pipes just to the tops of the crystals as well. Of course I first charge the crystals with charged water if that is available.</p>
<p>Then I place the 6 longer pipes vertically into the couplings of the shorter pipes and set them into the holes of the stabilizer at the bottom of the bucket. I place the other stabilizer over the pipes, and twist the stabilizer so that it looks something as follows:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt10.jpg" alt="cbt10" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4796" /></p>
<p>I move it so it is close to a bench or table:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt11.jpg" alt="cbt11" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4797" /></p>
<p>I then take a piece of tape and wrap it around the pipes just under the upper stabilizer so that the pipes will keep their position. I take another piece of tape and tape the structure to the table so that it will not tip over.</p>
<p>Now I pour metal shavings into the bucket around the pipes. I normally place several pieces of rose quartz in the shavings to soften the qi. It is safest to make two resin pours, just filling the bucket half-full with shavings for the first pour, and then bringing the shavings up to about a half-inch from the top of the bucket for the second pour.</p>
<p>When the resin is cured, I take the tape off which kept the pipes in place. Since the pipes are at an angle, the upper stabilizer will tend to fall lower and spread the pipes apart a little. I counter this by wrapping enough tape around the pipes just under the stabilizer so it supports the wood. Once the stabilizer is stabilized, I place the center pipe through that hole. I bring is just far enough down so that the bottom of the pipe is just barely above the narrowest part of the six pipes. To keep the center pipe from falling through further, I place a circle of tape around it just above the stabilizer:<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt12.jpg" alt="cbt12" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4798" /></p>
<p>Here is a finished product made by Rich. He and John do better work than I do in constructing them, and could probably improve on this tutorial.<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/cbt13.jpg" alt="cbt13" width="256" height="341" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4799" /></p>

The beginning, sowing of: kales, cabbages (salad like, cauliflowers, broccolis, root-like..), squashes, tomatoes, celeriacs, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, salads and various plants/flowers, marigolds, hollyhocks, nasturtiums, corn&#8230;<br />

<p>Many plants have already been taken to the garden with mounds, kales, cabbages, salads, tomatoes, corn. For very early planting out, there are still frost very often during the nights. Which is not bad, what will resisi will resist, what will die will die and we&#8217;ll continue. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

3 tubs of cabbages/kales have been taken outside and squashes and cucumbers, some celeriacs have been pricked out in individual pots and again some corn have been taken outside to the garden with mounds, because other ones taken out earlier have all died, they should withstand frosts easily, but apparently not when they&#8217;re too young. New Chinese cabbage sowing.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.09_b.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.09_b-300x225.jpg" alt="DCIM100GOPRO" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4727" /></a></p>

<a href="#p0514">2016.05.14:</a><br />
All the cucumbers, almost all squashes and almost all tomatoes that we took outside much earlier than normal have died in the garden, still too many frosts. But some are perfectly well in my own garden. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  Only salads and cabbages/kales can hold on well. The new corns that were taken out a couple of days ago are holding on outside too.<br />
New sowing of tomatoes, salads, ricinus, millet, tetragones and cucumbers.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.14_a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.14_a-300x225.jpg" alt="DCIM100GOPRO" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4728" /></a></p>

<p>The chinese cabbages are ready to get out, and some squashes, cucumbers, cantaloupes, tomatoes, eggplants as well. Some are for my personal garden where they&#8217;ll have much more merciful conditions than in the mound garden, there for the cantaloupes, peppers and eggplants, it&#8217;s still too early.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.21_plantes-sorties.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.21_plantes-sorties-300x225.jpg" alt="DCIM100GOPRO" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4730" /></a></p>
<p>New sowing on the 22nd, many various squashes, pickles and red cabbages. Also all very mature squashes have been taken out to another field to have harvests with those, a field with a climate more clement than the difficult one of the mound garden which is in a basin where temperature differences are increased both ways and with a lot of humidity. Also cucumbers were taken away to that terrain.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.22_a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.05.22_a-300x225.jpg" alt="DCIM100GOPRO" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4731" /></a></p>

Nothing changed, the plants are growing, I just went by to water the plants.<br />

<a href="#p0612">2016.06.12 :</a><br />
Abotu one third of the plants have been taken outside, many squashes and cucumbers, tomatoes, some celeriacs, peppers, cantaloupes, salads and various kales/cabbages.<br />
New pickles were sowed, again many squashes, Chinese cabbages, tomatoes, salads. The eggplants were re-potted in bigger pots to continue growing in the greenhouse (so that their roots can grow in the manure) and some cantaloupes as well.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.06.12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016.06.12-300x225.jpg" alt="DCIM100GOPRO" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4819" /></a></p>
<p><a name="p0805"></a><br />
<a href="#p0805">2016.08.05 :</a><br />
In the last two months, most of the plants were taken outside. There have been new sowings, mostly squash and cucumbers, but cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes too. To grow them outside sort of not at the correct season to see what it can give? And tomatoes to keep them in the greenhouse throughout the fall and even winter.<br />
The greenhouse since mid-July is a bit in the mode of production under cover, planting trays are removed gradually and many eggplants, peppers, cantaloupes and tomatoes have been planted in pots with soil and into contact with the manure so that they can take root in it indoor and carry on their growth quietly and safely protected. There is also a rodent (or more?) who settled in the greenhouse and ate every squash seedling since more than a month, see here for more details: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xJIO0RW0KU&#038;list=PLdFnvuruLErwGmitpUi5zRFonCoWJSeNw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xJIO0RW0KU</a><br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like last year, we collected organic material in the forest during the winter. It&#8217;s always handy to cover new seedlings and sow more simply without having to dig. It&#8217;s also because we want the mounds to reach 80-100cm high in the future and a lot of material is still needed to get there!<br />
We planted a lot of cuttings we collected here and there to start the hedge. Laurels, amorphas, lavateras, yew trees, gooseberries, blackcurrants, flowering blackcurrants, raspberries, cherry trees, blackthorns, plum trees, apple trees, pear trees, honey trees, rose bushes, mulberry trees and other small plants / bushes which we do not yet know the name. We also planted around a thousand flowers in the mounds and in the inner garden of which many bulbous as many are toxic (for rodents to feel less comfortable <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  ). Iris, cedar, tulips, pierce snow, lilies, forget-me/myosotis, squills, hydrangeas, etc.<br />
We also sowed leeks between the strawberries and carrots and beets in very large quantities (easily 10000 carrots and 1000 beets) on the fly, they&#8217;ll germinate when they germinate, or not <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  The goal always being that there are so many vegetable seeds in the soil for them to grow a little wildly everywhere. We&#8217;re waiting for next fall (August-October) to sow cabbage, kohlrabi, leeks, onions, shallots and on the whole, seeds of the cabbage and alliums family as I noticed last year that it&#8217;s the time when they sow themselves naturally, they go to seed in August and fall to the ground at that time.</p>

Small update, not much happened since the weather has been quite good for 2 weeks but then cold and very cold for the next 2 weeks, the growth of everything came to a halt for a while.</p>

Small inspection, some tomatoes are still alive. And I also sowed new sweet peas with ricinus seeds at the same time, as those seeds are toxic (as much as the plant itself), this is to make life very hard for rodents!</p>
<p><a name="p0516"></a><br />

There were still some frosts at night. Most of the cabbages/kales are still there, the tomatoes had a very hard time, only one or two are still alive, which is already great! The sweet peas I resowed last week are still in place, the first from a month ago had too much troubles with the cold.<br />
As for the rodents, I had new ideas of poppy seeds, bitter almonds and licorice. There are supposedly very toxic for them, so if we can sow some of those at the same time as we sow other things they like, it should be very disturbing for them, while waiting for the natural predators. Since we still have to make these buzzards/owls pillars and will need to wait a couple of years for edges where foxes can hangout close. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Overview, everything is going really well. Having the green house always full of new plants and being planted outside as soon as they&#8217;re ready to go out is working well. Btw. something that has never been mentioned, we always skip the usual hardening periods for plants on purpose, we do that on purpose so that plants are encouraged to become more robust by having to adapt quicker to big environmental/climatic differences.</p>

Everything is going and growing quite well <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
No need to tell us about carnivorous indian runner or kakhi cambells ducks and other ones like those for slug control. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
We know them, but the place is not yet setup to enable us to have them there, because that field is far removed for houses, if we place ducks there we have to be sure they&#8217;re safe and have water. For the moment, that&#8217;s not ready <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
And it&#8217;s good that plants learn to adapt and become much more robust, if slugs finish them, it&#8217;s because the plants are not healthy, you can see it with wild plants, the jerusalem artichokes do not get eaten that must, neither do wild carrots. These plants just learned to live in perfect harmony with all their surroundings for hundreds of years qithout human intervention <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Small visit of the garden, many plants are growing very well. We discovered that chick peas can grow very well in Lorraine <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
Some plants struggled quite a lot during the rain period that lasted around 2 months, salads, squashes, tomatoes, cabbages died. But the most robust are still here.<br />
Some Chinese cabbages went directly to seed, they struggled, hence the survival mechanisms kicked in, create the next offspring that will be more apt to resist!<br />
Else, another detail that is important and that I forgot to explain in details, around here a lot of people failed growing their salads, they all went to seed directly, these people were using anti-slug products&#8230; Whereas, yes we lost some, but the onces that withstood the slugs are all great looking now and not going to seed at all, it clearly seems that slugs attacks on salads help them to produce more leaves to protect themselves.<br />
These kinds of observations are very interesting to look at in a completely natural environment. The good development of some plants depends on an interaction with the fauna!<br />
You&#8217;ll see it next time, many cucumbers (of my own seed already quite robust!) had to endure harsh conditions, the main stem just grew and grew for 30-40cm without ever managing to make one leaf, slugs were eating it all, but they survived, hence these will be some more good seeds for next year!</p>

<p>And the east side of the exterior garden with butternuts and pickles freshly planted that seem to be handling it very well. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

Slowly but surely, we learn new things about the natural regulation of the fauna. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
There is a small addition at the end, in the greenhouse, because a rodent (or many?) is present and eating all the squashes seeds planted for over a month and a half. It took me time to understand. So there are many missing squashes in the garden this year (again because of rodents like last year, but not the same way <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  ), it is frustrating, I lost a lot of my own seeds stored from the previous years, but hey, I learn for the future. Either place custom wire cages over each seedling tray (at the moment this is the most feasible option) or raising the trays, or for the future in a broader and holistic point of view, in a large greenhouse, always have one or a few cats around! Again the best natural method of controlling rodents and all the fauna is to coordinate and understand the hierarchy of predators in full. Still, for the moment, in this small greenhouse that is not yet possible.</p>

Not much to say, it was time to collect some seeds and sow others to keep on increasing the diversity in vegetables of the place.<br />
Harvest of cucumbers, the ones that lasted the longest (april to september), harvest of some salad seeds and sowing on the fly of others, same goes for the celeriacs.<br />
As far as tomatoes are concerned it was still too early, we&#8217;re waiting till the end for the ones that withstand the most the climatic conditions of autumn (eating the other meanwhile <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  ).<br />
I also found one commercial carrot, there should be more coming when/if it rains in September (which is the period where they can naturally resow themselves)<br />
We&#8217;ve also sown various onions/leeks/cabbages/kales etc. on the fly; it&#8217;s the time, so they&#8217;ll be there to take root naturally when they can.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also added a grass to cover the soil, to not have high grass below the gooseberries/currants.</p>
<p>Else there are also some very late squashes (planted very late!).<br />
Let&#8217;s see in october what happens next <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Small update, since last tile we had two weeks of quite cold and rainy weather, which almost killed most plants that cannot withstand frost, because in this humid and entrapped by the forest the temperature differences are exacerbated, hence some frost already occurred, or temperatures very close to zero during the night. Hence it&#8217;s time to collect some seeds <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

First video of the year for my vegetable garden, sorry that I took so long. Everything is going fantastically well, the diversity is increasing non-stop. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<p>Something I forgot to explicitly explain in the video is that all the plants are from my own previous seeds as much as possible. This year the cabbages and kales are from new seeds since I never had any in the previous years (except kohlrabi and violet broccolis), the salads are new because I didn&#8217;t have yet enough seeds last year, some squashes are new to increase diversity, but peas are always new because I don&#8217;t want to change them, I want them to cross pollinate with the &#8220;vesce des haies&#8221;, I want that plant to start mutating into producing peas (I still do collect some peas that I keep as seeds for probably next year or some other time). The eggplants, peppers, cantaloupes and cress are also new additions. It&#8217;s a small vegetable garden, I try to increase the diversity as much as I can, but letting plants go to seed takes space!<br />
And I made a mistake with the date, it was the 16th of june <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

<p>Small update, I didn&#8217;t do anything since 3 weeks, I let the plants in peace to discover their own natural harmony by themselves in the company of the &#8216;weeds&#8217;.<br />
It&#8217;s a very good year for the plants to learn to live with slugs and gastropods since it rained quite a lot. That way they can learn to let some part of themselves to be eaten by slugs without being completely devoured, the weeds know very well how to do that!<br />
I have to repeat it, slugs are only there to finish organic decomposition quickly, if a plant is eaten entirely by them, it means that that plant was never healthy and/or never had the opportunity to learn to cohabit with them!</p>

<p>This video is a bit longer than usual so that I can explain you some ideas more in details.<br />
What I intend to do, and that seems useful to share with you, to have no more plants go to seed and take all the space by lying on the ground, since they occupy the garden for much of the season, if the garden is small, when they lie down they take much more space than where they have their base. In the end, this year I had 2-3 bins covered (and therefore unusable) by radish seeds, carrots, parsnips, broccoli. They take up a lot of space, the next year I will ensure they stay upright and do not fall sideways! That way it will also leave the field free for cats below, otherwise they can not even hunt, there is no space!<br />
Apart from that, I explain some transition stages over several years to adapt tomatoes to Lorraine summers!<br />
For the 3 sisters method (corn, climbing beans, squash), in Lorraine (and in similar areas), we can probably use artichokes instead of corn, corn does not grow fast enough in these areas.<br />
The variety of vegetables that resow themselves increases slowly and surely <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

All is going on well, it&#8217;s a project over many years as you should have already noticed from all the past videos <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  Hence, harvests, harvest (of seeds) for the time being, it&#8217;s not yet time for big productions, I always let the vegetables live with the concurrence of the natural weeds, which most people usually remove often <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  And I let vegetables grow like weeds, so it&#8217;s not that easy for them, but they&#8217;re improving slowly and surely with some little bit of help <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Like in the large vegetable garden, but less dire, it was cold and rainy for about 2 weeks, but no frost here yet <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  So squashes are doing well, the tomatoes that had the hardest life through tall grass etc. reached their end but left some beautiful tomatoes offspring <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<p>Otherwise, as you can see, it&#8217;s fantastic as I had hoped, the first rains of autumn allowed lots of dormant seeds in the soil to germinate as they wished, carrots, parsnips, onions, I&#8217;m hoping for salads maybe? Beets, broccoli violet also maybe.<br />
And other plants are doing well, I&#8217;m eagerly waiting for cabbages/kales to go to seed, but I think it will be for next year!</p>
<p>In short, fantastic, wild vegetables a becoming reality slowly and surely!</p>

Just a small review for the end of this year, will have to wait for next year to reach some new insights about what&#8217;s happening now. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
One thing is sure, carrots should not be sown in august (at least commercial varieties), as you can see in the video, they should remain on the old carrot and fall off later on, probably during winter to sprout in the beginning of spring. I have saved many seeds, so I will sow them on the fly at approximately the same time I see those on the last carrots standing falling off.</p>

<p>With the original title: What Big Pharma and the CDC Forgot to Tell the Doctors.<br />
But the page does not exists anymore and this information is still vital and often still unknown to most people!<br />
note: Temperatures are in Farenheit on this document.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Tamiflu was developed several years ago after lab tests showed it slowed the replication of viruses in the lab dish. Tests in humans showed it reduced the normal 5 to 7 day course of Flu by 1.5 to 2.5 days. It did not prevent, cure nor reduce the effects of Flu. At best it is a palliative or pain reliever to &#8220;treat the symptoms,&#8221; but not cure to the disease.</p>
<p>Most medical doctors mistakenly believe in the &#8220;anti-body&#8221; response of the immune system as the method by which the body fights viral infections. But not so. The body causes a fever above 101 degrees which stops the telomeres on the ends of the virus from allowing any viral replication.</p>
<p>The fever is the human or mammalian body&#8217;s primary generalized immune system response to any viral infection. Any palliative treatment which reduces the fever of flu infections will prolong the infection and may lead to irreparable damage or death, mostly from the resulting viral pneumonia. But the pneumonia was caused by lowering the fever and allowing uncontrolled viral replication in the lungs. Most cold and flu medications, including aspirin and Tamiflu are in this palliative class.</p>
<p>In the last two years, doctors have been treating patients who have H5N1 Bird Flu. The results are that 50% or half of the treated patients die of viral pneumonia. Were the deaths caused by a &#8220;new&#8221; more virulent strain of Bird Flu or was it the &#8220;new&#8221; use of a new anti-viral called Tamiflu? A good doctor would know the difference. </p>
<h4>Solving the Problem of Viral Infections</h4>
<p>Recently a BroJon Digest reader, named Doreen, wrote to ask some of the questions which were also asked by hundreds of other readers. She wrote:</p>
<p>&#8220;I read your article about the &#8220;Bird Flu&#8221;, and had a couple questions for you. First, are you a scientist? Second, while your article seems informative (and I agree with your conclusions that the so-called Pandemic is a major scam), I do not get enough information about the difference between Reproduction and Replication, concerning bacteria (reproduce) and virus (replicate)&#8230; replicate reminds me of Star Trek, and the replicators on the Enterprise! If you cannot explain the difference for me, can you refer me to a site that can?&#8221;</p>
<p>Very good questions. Yes, I am a senior scientist. I have multiple university degrees. I spent several decades working as a senior scientist/engineer for NASA. One of my NASA projects was the rat and monkey biological experiment which flew on the Shuttle Challenger in 1985. I worked directly with astronaut/scientist Dr. Robert Obermeyer. I worked in the ultra-clean lab, testing the cages and data-instrumentation which I built for the experiment, while Bob Obermeyer took the animals in the surgical room and implanted the animals with tiny transmitters which were then recorded on my computer system.</p>
<p>I have long been a medical researcher, but I don&#8217;t have a medical degree nor license. Thus I don&#8217;t see things the way most doctors do. One of the things with which I disagree with most, compared to the medical profession is how viruses replicate and infect cells.</p>
<p>Using my degrees in physics and engineering, I studied the surface coatings of viruses. That is how I discovered that the replication of viruses is a very close analog of sexual reproduction. I have not seen that written in any medical textbooks nor journal articles, so, Doreen, I can&#8217;t direct you to any websites for more information. So I will explain it to you as best I can.</p>
<h4>The Big Difference Between Bacteria and Viruses &#8211; What Most Doctors Never Learned in Medical School</h4>
<p>Bacteria are large single-celled animals which are large enough to be seen in a microscope. The bacteria is a protein bag enclosing a fluid which mimics sea water in saltiness and acidity. This reflects the fact that all animal and plant lifeforms on earth formed in the salty ocean of earth. Now, all animal cells carry their salty ocean internally. This cytoplasmic cell fluid contains many parts, including the nucleus of the cell which is very similar to a virus, and many primitive small sub-bacteria which are in each cell, called by such names as mitochondria and golgi-apparatus among others.</p>
<p>These sub-parts are very simple separate bacteria-like bodies which have specific functions in the cell such as collecting oxygen or actually doing the breathing, and other parts which take the sugar, fat and proteins in the blood stream and as they transfer into the cell fluid they are converted into food and energy for each cell. Thus, bacteria are living cells which, (1) can move, (2) can locate and eat food, combining the food and oxygen to make energy, and (3) can reproduce by making copies of each cell by dividing down the middle and making two new identical cells from the original one.</p>
<p>But, unlike bacterial cells, viruses are not alive. They cannot do anything which cells or bacteria can do. All viruses have only two simple parts, (1) a single long strand of a molcule called DNA which may have millions of atoms in the long string, and (2) an outer layer of protective protein bag material, which is made up of the broken parts of the cellular or bacterial protein bag from which the virus last escaped. Viruses are not alive and cannot grow their own protein bag coating. Viruses are so much more tiny than are cells, being made only of a single string of atoms, they cannot be seen with a normal microscope. They can only be seen with electron microscopes.</p>
<p>The DNA strand in the middle of the virus is a long string of connected single sugar molecules called Ribose. Onto each and every Ribose sugar molecule is then attached an amino acid. This process of making DNA can only occur inside a host bacteria cell which has a large supply of free amino acids floating in the salty cytoplasmic fluid. There are about 17 amino acids in the proteins which humans eat, but only 4 critical amino acids are used to make DNA. The banding or repeating pattern of the 4 amino acids, like a string of colored beads, is used to make partial copies of sections of the DNA to make protein-string hormones which control how cells operate and reproduce. These partial protein copies of small sections of the DNA molecule, are actually hormones which communicate with and control other cells, and are what make the cells of your body grow and live.</p>
<h4>How Your Body Uses Viral-Type DNA Molecules &#8212; How DNA Is Used As a Normal Part of Making Your Body Work</h4>
<p>The DNA molecules in your cells are similar to a virus DNA, but with several differences. The DNA in your cells are made of two parallel long strands which are electrically bonded together. Over simplifying how they are put together, you could say one half of the double strand came from your mother and the other half came from your father. The two halves are bonded together to make a diploid or complete double strand which makes a compete animal or plant DNA molecule found in the nucleus of all living cells. But the viral DNA is only half of the long double string molecule, it does not have a mother nor father. It only makes repeated identical copies of the original half or haploid molecule itself. Thus the virus cannot &#8220;reproduce&#8221; in the same way cells do.</p>
<p>But your body actually does the same thing. When a woman ovulates she causes complete cells, which normally divide in half, to instead divide into four parts in her ovaries to divide the original double strand DNA molecule into four single strand ova. Each ovum is a half or haploid version of your original DNA. The normal reproduction of all the cells in your body simply divide into two exact diploid copies. This process is called Mitosis and occurs in almost all of your cells every week or so. But once a month in women, certain cells in the ovary divide by a unique process called Meiosis which causes the cells to divide into four identical parts. But each new primitive cell has only half of the normal DNA strand. Each haploid cell is an ovum, and has the same atomic and molecular single-strand structure as a virus DNA.</p>
<p>The same thing occurs each month in men, when the sperm are made by dividing a body DNA molecule into four to make four haploid or half DNA molecules, which is all that is inside a sperm body. Neither ova nor sperm are living cells. They can&#8217;t reproduce by themselves. They are each more like a single haploid DNA virus. By sexual reproduction, which is almost exactly the same as a virus entering a cell, the haploid or half DNA from mother and father are combined into a diploid or full double DNA strand thus producing a new living cell, destined to become a new human being. Viruses don&#8217;t do that. They simply keep making exact copies of the original haploid or half DNA. They are not alive. They cannot grow or mutate from one form of bird flu into another. They are more like inanimate crystals, which can only copy more crystals. They don&#8217;t grow and mutate. Also, just like a sperm entering through the unique cell wall of an ovum, which is specific to each species, meaning a cow sperm cannot enter into a sheep ovum, a virus cannot enter into just any other cell which has a protein coating different from the coating on the original virus. That&#8217;s why humans can&#8217;t get bird flu.</p>
<p>The set of the specific four amino acids which are used to make DNA are called Nucleic Acids when they attach along the long strand of sugar Ribose molecules. When they are attached they are called Ribo-Nucleic Acids. When the whole long strand of millions of RiboNucleic Acids have completely attached from one end of the long chain to the other, it releases an Oxygen atom at the end of the string, carrying away an electron, and then the whole chain is stuck or bonded together by electrical forces. The release of the Oxygen atom is called Deoxyfication. This whole long chain, when it is completely filled, and then de-oxyfied is called De-oxy-ribo Nucleic Acid, or as we know it, DNA.</p>
<p>That is also all that a virus is. Just a long chain of millions of the four amino acids all stuck together in a certain pattern. The only difference between the millions of types of viruses, is the repeating bead-like patterns of the four amino acids along the chain. The virus DNA cannot move by itself, it cannot locate, breath and eat food, and it cannot divide in half and make copies of itself or reproduce the way bacterial cells do. A Virus does not fit the definition of a living thing. It is more like the repeating patterns of atoms in a crystal.</p>
<h4>How Your Cells Use DNA to Reproduce But Viruses Can Only Replicate &#8211; The Mystery of Viral Replication Explained</h4>
<p>The only thing that a virus does is a process called Replication. When a virus enters one of your cells, it escapes from within its own old protein surface coating and it stretches out into a long string. The viral DNA then collects millions of free amino acids floating in your salty cell fluid to make a mirror image copy of the four types of amino acids in the viral chain. This reversed mirror image chain is called Retro-deoxy-ribo Nucleic Acid or shortened to RNA. The RNA molecule is special and continues to make another mirror image of itself which is, of course, an exact copy of the original viral DNA. This unique method of making a mirror image of a mirror image to make an exact copy of the original viral DNA is the only method a virus can use to make copies. This is called Replication.</p>
<p>The RNA molecule string will then continue to make many, many copies which result in the original viral DNA now having thousands of exact duplicate DNA copies all made from the amino acids stolen from your cell fluid. This starves your cell of all the amino acids and in a matter of minutes, destroys it. The original virus and its many replicate copies are now free to invade your other body cells.</p>
<p>But before leaving the infected cell, the thousands of new viral DNA copies then steal pieces of the protein bag coating from your damaged and dying cell, and then covers the viral DNA with stolen cell wall material. This is the trick by which the virus can exist in your body. By covering itself with the old cell wall from your own cells, the virus then hides from your immune system, since the virus now looks like just one of your own friendly cells and not a dangerous foreign virus.</p>
<h4>How A Single Virus May Seem To Be Hundreds of Different Types &#8211; The Difference Between Types H5N1 and H3N2 is the Stolen Surface Coat</h4>
<p>This means that any certain virus may have many different surface coatings, depending on where it last came from. If it last came from a bird, it is a bird virus and can only infect birds. If the same virus had escaped from a pig or hog, then it is a porcine or pig virus. It is almost impossible for humans to get viruses from horses, dogs, birds or snakes.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it is quite easy for humans to get viruses from pigs, because of the strange similarity in the tissue typing of pig and human tissue. The atomic structure of the surface coat on pig viruses are similar enough that the pig virus can enter human cells. This is why cell tissue from pigs, such as heart valves, pancreatic insulin and other body parts from pigs can be used in humans. Oddly, it is hard for viruses from our closest mammalian neighbors, the chimps and gorillas, to enter into humans. Simian viruses simply are not close enough with the same cell surface types as human viruses.</p>
<p>That is about as clear as I can explain Viral Replication. It is the process of the copying of atoms and molecules of DNA and RNA in a specific order. It has nothing to do with the dividing and splitting or Reproduction of living cells or beings.</p>
<p>The trick here, Doreen, is that for the viral RNA to make many, many replica copies of the original DNA virus, the viral RNA molecule must detach and release each new DNA copy into the cell fluid, to open up all the atomic connecting spaces along the chain of the long RNA molecule, in order to make room for the next new copy.</p>
<h4>How To Instantly Stop The Viral Replication Process &#8211; Why Mammals are Different from Reptiles and Birds</h4>
<p>What causes the RNA copy to completely release the newly made copy, and unzip the new DNA virus from the RNA master copy is something at the end of the molecule chain, called a  <strong> telomere</strong>. When the DNA copy is complete, the electrical charge on the RNA Telomere changes, like flipping an electrical switch, and it then releases and repels the new DNA copy by electrical forces. But the RNA Telomere is temperature sensitive, it won&#8217;t release a new copy if it is too warm.</p>
<p>If the temperature of the Telomere on the end of the RNA chain is too hot &#8212; meaning above 102 degrees F, then the Telomere cannot unzip and release the new DNA copy. The RNA and the new DNA viral copy are electrically bonded together &#8212; and they are stuck &#8212; they can&#8217;t unzip and separate. Thus, the original viral DNA cannot replicate even one copy of itself using the RNA if you have a fever of about 101 to 102 degrees. That is why humans and all warm-blooded mammals on earth produce a fever when infected with a virus, since it prevents the original viral DNA from replicating any copies of itself at all. Thus &#8212; the end of the line for the original virus and any viral replication. That is also why most viruses on earth come from birds and reptiles, since they cannot raise their body temperature to cause a fever, and the viruses can run rampant among those animals. Sometimes a viral infections can wipe out and cause complete extinctions among reptiles, amphibians and birds. This is rare among warm-blooded mammals which can create fevers when infected with viruses.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s also why we have fevers. And that is why reducing the fever with Nyquil, or Aspirin or other cold and flu medications can kill you when the Viral RNA is allowed to unzip millions of copies of the original single Viral DNA molecule. Each new copy of the original viral DNA can then repeat the process and quickly produce billions of copies of itself in an hour or so, and start infecting more and more of your cells, until it kills you. But the high temperature or a fever will stop the viral replication process instantly.</p>
<h4>Where to Look for More Information About Viral Replication &#8211; How and Why the CDC Has Misinformed the Public</h4>
<p>So Doreen, I would suggest, instead of doing a web search about Viral Replication which doesn&#8217;t produce much information &#8212; do a web search on &#8220;Telomere&#8221; or &#8220;Telomeres&#8221; and find out about the latest research showing how they affect the aging of living cells and how they are sensitive to temperature. Then you will find out about how virus DNA molecules actually replicate. I don&#8217;t know of any practicing medical doctors who know much about telomeres and viral replication. It seems only medical researchers in the lab know about that important process.</p>
<p>Thanks for your questions, and I hope I have helped you understand Viral Replication. And yes, it&#8217;s pretty much the same way they did it on Star Trek &#8212; atom by atom. And even though there may be millions of atoms in the long DNA chain, it is so tiny that the Replication process can be completed in much less than a single second in time. Much faster than you can say &#8220;zip.&#8221;</p>

<h4>Small overview</h4>
</p>
<p>
Shungite got its name from the village Shunga, on the shores of the Onezhskoe (Onega) lake in Karelia, Russia, where it was discovered in 1887. It started being studied more in depth starting from the 60&#8242;s.<br />
It&#8217;s an organic compound composed in majority of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon" title="Carbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">carbon</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide" title="Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">silica</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mica" title="Mica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">mica</a>, which seems to have formed during the Precambrian era (4500 &#8211; 500 million years ago), but it remains a supposition among other, we&#8217;ll get back to it later.<br />
It&#8217;s already important to note that it&#8217;s an organic compound (or mineraloid), it cannot be classified as a mineral compound.<br />
Diamond and graphite are also organic compounds, FYI:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Organic compound:</strong><br />
Is a compound in which the molecule contains the carbon atom C, except carbon dioxide CO2 and carbonates M(CO3).</p>
<p><strong>Mineral compound:</strong><br />
Is a compound in which the molecule does not contain the carbone atom; are considered as mineral compounds: carbon dioxide CO2 and carbonates M(CO3).

<h4>Quick description</h4>
</p>
<p>
Shungite is known for many of its peculiar properties, one of those being the presence of fullerenes, that being said it must be understood that apparently it contains only an tiny percentage of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene" title="Fullerene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">fullerenes</a>, around 0.0001% and 0.001%. Bu tas small as it seems, it&#8217;s not negligible and it&#8217;s not the whole story!</p>
<p>The other, most known, properties of shungite are almost all due to this presence of fullerenes; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorption" title="Sorption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">sorption</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desorption" title="Desorption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">desorption</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_oxidation" title="Catalytic oxidation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">catalytic oxidation</a>; which are all the reason behind most of the virtues of shungite.</p>
<p>The structure of fullerene is quite a recent discovery, until 1995 this structure of carbon was unknown, it was thought that only two forms of carbon existed: graphite and diamond.</p>

<p>There are many possible forms of fullerenes, natural and artificial: C24, C28, C32, C36, C50, C60, C70, C76, C84, &#8230;<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/fullerènes.png" alt="fullerènes" width="600" height="391" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4268" /></p>
<p>Fullerenes contained in shungite are mostly C60. And it must be understood that shungite does not contain &#8216;normal&#8217; fullerenes, they confer a very important property to shungite different form standard fullerenes. More precisely, it&#8217;s &#8216;water-soluble molecular compounds based on a fullerene-like core&#8217; that are part of shungite. This creates an onion-like structure, in which the core is usually a C60 fullerene or fullerene like nanopowder; surrounded by hydrated or solvated layers; mostly hydrated by water molecules, which makes them water-soluble. Because pure fullerenes are not water-soluble, which makes them completely useless for living organisms! Wit hrespect to that, shungite is very special!</p>
<p>There is also another important difference between that structure of carbon and diamond/graphite. Shungite is stable, it cannot change state/structure. Whereas graphite can always transform into diamond (under pressure) and diamonds transform into graphite as soon as they are removed from the high pressure conditions they formed in. It&#8217;s a natural increase of entropy. Graphite is a form more stable than diamond, hence diamond naturally tends to re-transform into graphite when it can. But it&#8217;s veeeeery slow, before the diamond on a ring turned back into graphite, many hundreds of human generations will have worn that ring without noticing any change. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<p>One can apparently create shungite by exposing it to high temperatures close to those found near the sun, above 4000 °C. I&#8217;m writing that, but I&#8217;m not sure, because the documentation I used as support is quite ambiguous on that subject&#8230; However, the reverse process is absolutely impossible, once it becomes shungite it remains as shungite forever! At least for now (April 2015) no one has found a way to transform shungite into something else.

<p>
<h4>History of its origins</h4>
</p>
<p>
The appearance/formation of shungite is still a mystery&#8230; We understand how it can form, but we don&#8217;t know if it happened on earth or somewhere else. A thing seems almost certain, as indicated earlier, shungite seems to date back to the Precambrian era, so if it is 1 billion years old or more is quite likely. What has been confirmed for the moment, is the way shungite could have formed, a <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016913680300043X" title="A giant Palaeoproterozoic deposit of shungite in NW Russia: genesis and practical applications" target="_blank">study</a> in the Onega lake it was determined that there was an accumulation of more than 1000m thickness of repeated layers:<br />
1. of random strata<br />
2. of migration of strata of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diapir" title="Diapir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">diapir</a><br />
3. of strata re-deposited of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clastic_rock" title="Clastic rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">clastic rocks</a>.</p>
<p>Which seems to be a big proof of diapiric formations linked to mud volcanoes. But nothing can be proven! The are a couple of known shungite deposits on earth, the largest is in Karelia, but there are also some in Zaire in the mine of Shaba, or in India in Andhra Pradesh, in the USA in the Michigan, in Russia in the region of the Ural, in Austria in the regions of Salzburg, Styria and Tyrol. <a href="http://www.mindat.org/min-11040.html" title="Shungite: Shungite mineral information and data." target="_blank">Shungite: Shungite mineral information and data.</a><br />
The other hypothesis often discussed, is that it is meteorites that brought shungite on earth. Because there are interesting photos made by Mr. Kovalevsky (<a href="#kovalevsky" title="Comparison of carbon in shungite rocks to other natural carbons: An X-ray and TEM study.">Comparison of carbon in shungite rocks to other natural carbons: An X-ray and TEM study.</a>) showing carbon structures, similar to those observed on shungite, that were observed on the remains of a meteorite.</p>
<p>The important point to remember, is that the conditions required for the natural creation of shungite (very high temperatures) couldn&#8217;t have happened on earth, except a long time ago. Hence, either all the shungite deposits formed with the conditions that existed on earth during the Precambrian era in places containing, among other things, a lot of carbon in various forms. Or there were different meteorites that brought shungite on earth in different locations. Diamond and graphite can form on earth nowadays with low temperatures (compared to those needed for shungite) and hence these forms of carbon could have formed later and can still form naturally nowadays, which is not the case for shungite, at least not with what is understood nowadays.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s no definite answer to this question up to now, no one can really tell. Personally I tend to think that a bit of both happened; some deposits formed on earth, others come form space.<br />
Or maybe there are still other answers to be found which no one thought about yet.. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
Because I&#8217;ll get back to it below, neither the concentration of fullerenes (0.001%-0.0001%), nor the way they formed is clear, there are many documents saying quite different things!</p>

<p>
<h4>Benefits of shungite</h4>
</p>
<p>
Now we arrive at something that is of interest to a lot of people!<br />
In fact a lot of properties considered nowadays sometimes still bit mystical, are very easy to explain, it&#8217;s pure physical science!<br />
I already explained above, shungite has three main properties, a large capacity for sorption and desorption and a natural tendency to promote a catalytic oxidation of complex molecules.<br />
You&#8217;ll ask me, what does it mean?</p>
<p><strong>Sorption</strong><br />
I use this term in its full meaning to show the difference between <strong>ad</strong>sorption and <strong>ab</strong>sorption. Shungite has the property of <strong>ad</strong>sorption, sorption being the generic name to describe the process by which a substance is ad/ab-sorbed by a sorbant. <strong>Ad</strong>soprtion is specific for the interaction between a liquid/gaseous (air, water for example) substance with a solid sorbant substance, here, shungite.<br />
It&#8217;s this property that allows shungite to have depolluting/purifying properties on water, soils, air etc. The pollutant compounds in these gases/liquids end up being attracted and fixed on the surface of the molecules of shungite, and that&#8217;s not all!t!
</p>
<p><strong>Desorption</strong><br />
It&#8217;s simply the inverse process of sorption, which allows the sorbated molecules to detach from the substrate, i.e. the shungite to release what it attracted.
</p>
<p><strong>Catalytic oxidation</strong><br />
It&#8217;s the third very important property of shungite and without it, the shungites&#8217; sorption and desorption properties wouldn&#8217;t be as interesting. A catalytic oxidation is the process of oxidizing substances thanks to a catalyst.<br />
For example, like the catalytic converter of a car.<br />
In the case of shungite, it is shungite itself that acts as the catalytic converter, apparently thanks to its hydrated fullerene-like compounds. Simply stated, shungite is able to decompose a complex molecule into its constituent elements. Lets take hydrocarbons for example, which are, grossly described, just chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Octane for example, which is the principal compound in our petrol, C8H18, under that form it is toxic for the environment, in the presence of shungite the atoms of carbon can be separated from the hydrogen ones by a catalytic oxidation to transform into molecules of CO2 and water molecules H2O.<br />
Oxidation means that the atom binds with oxygen&#8230;
</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t go into very complex details of chemistry; just note that these three properties of shungite, allow shungite to have massive de-polluting effects in a whole lot of different circumstances!<br />
This is what gives the antioxidant properties to shungite, i.e. shungite attracts and neutralizes free-radicals if ingested. </p>
<p>I won&#8217;t go into the technical details that are a consequence of these properties, because I don&#8217;t even know them myself and there are still a lot of contradictions in the information I&#8217;ve found. Higher above I said: &#8220;neither the concentration of fullerenes (0.001%-0.0001%), nor the way they formed is clear&#8221;, it&#8217;s especially on that detail that I would like to have an answer.<br />
The most in depth informations I found on the topic, from <a href="#evosipov" title="Healing Shungite: From Mystifications to Reality">Eduard V. Osipov</a> seem to indicate that it is more the way that shungite is extracted that engender these peculiar properties, it is during the extraction and the interaction with water that the nanoscopic matrices crystallize thanks to the solvating molecules. Which beget the apparition of fullerene-like compounds, but as I said higher up, are based on a fullerene-like core with successive layers added around it. It seems that shungite does not directly contain carbon fullerenes, but that during the process of extraction, the impurities (in majority metals and sulfur) plus water and the solvents used lead to the spontaneous formation of these fullerene-like structures with hydrated external layers. That afterward end up with/in the shungite in the form of dusts with nanometric components, which are, it seems, the real reason behind the properties of shungite.<br />
I can hover not confirm anything, I&#8217;m just summarizing for you what I have found.<br />
However, no matter the how, sorption, desorption and the natural tendency to promote catalytic oxidation are well documented.</p>
<p><a name="examples"></a><br />
<strong>Application examples:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Shungite has a capacity to absorb the substances that are present in infinitesimal quantities in water. It&#8217;s perfect to deeply purify water, shungite is good to use in the final stages of water purification systems. It&#8217;s very useful to remove medical waster by-products, free-radicals, heavy-metals, etc.</li>
<li>What is wonderful, is that shungite can equally well purify purify air, by putting it into air filters etc. It can also be used to purify soils, it is for example very useful to clean up (by sorption and catalytic oxidation) organochlorinated compounds: of which the most known are pesticides, &#8220;Chlorinated cyclodienes include aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, chlordane and endosulfan.&#8221;, also PCBs and dioxin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organochloride#Applications" title="Organochloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" target="_blank">Organochloride</a></li>
<li>Another example is with heptyls (which are a form of alkyl), the normal recycling process for these compounds produces sub-products as toxic as the original compound! In the presence of shungite and under specific conditions (mix of sugar, manganese&#8230;) a purification of 100% has been reached. <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/EGU05-J-07134.pdf" title="Deactivation of soil polluted with liquid propellant components" target="_blank">Deactivation of soil polluted with liquid propellant components</a></li>
</ul>
<p>What is very important to note is that shungite has these 3 properties combined; sorption, desorption and catalytic oxidation; which can have effects on many molecules, simple ones and complex ones.<br />
That means that you must also understand that shungite can become saturated with toxic compounds (by sorption), but it can also be cleaned and freed of these compounds (by desorption).</p>
<p>To explain what can happen, lets take an example of the cleaning up of petroleum compounds with some organochlorinated (pesticides..). The catalytic oxidation will transform the complex hydrocarbon and organochlorinated molecules into simple elements, i.e. water (based on the hydrogen and oxygen collected from teh air and present in the hydrocarbons and the hydrogen present in the organochlorinated compounds), CO2 and Chlorine. These elements in their simple forms are harmless and will simply be able to fix themselves to the shungite (by sorption) or be released in nature. However, it should be noted that organochlorinated compounds often contain heavy-metals in small quantities, and petroleum products do as well. Lets says lead and mercury, these two heavy-metals will be absorbed by the shungite.<br />
In that case, slowly but surely the shungite will become saturated with heavy-metals which shouldn&#8217;t be released randomly in nature! Hence by cleaning the stone, to make it release these substances by desorption, it will need to be evacuated in the right place!<br />
How to clean shungite? I&#8217;ll get to it further down. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />

<p>
<h4>Shungite qualities/classes</h4>
</p>
<p>
There are generally 3 classes of shungite on the market, these classes simply define the carbon content and amount of impurities in shungite.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1st class:</strong>
<p>1st class shungite contains 98-99% of carbon, or more. It is the most expensive, because it is the purest. It is apparently quite rare; less that 1% of the shungite is of that purity. It is non-crystalline and, without being polished, naturally shiny or with a metallic appearance.  It has a very low density, stones of 1st class seem very light! Being almost only pure carbon, 1st class shungite is generally sold in its rough form, because it is quite brittle and hence hard to polish.<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/class1.jpeg" alt="class1" width="400" height="309" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4318" /></p>
</li>
<li><strong>2nd and 3rd class:</strong>
<p>
The 2nd class contains less than 98% of carbon, I cannot tell you exactly how much, because I can&#8217;t find precise details. It seems that it goes from 98 to 70% for 2nd class and from 70 to 30% for 3rd class. These classes contain much more silicate and mica. It&#8217;s the more abundant prevalence of silicate and mica that makes them less brittle and dull looking, non-metallic and powdery, when touched they darken our hands like coal. They can be found rough or as polished stones.<br />
Even when polished, be it 2nd or 3rd class, when taken in the hands they still have a tendency to blacken anything that comes in contact with them, however 2nd class containing a lot of carbon don&#8217;t blacken that much, they must be really rubbed to notice it!<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/class2_3.jpg" alt="class2_3" width="600" height="262" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4320" /></p>
</li>
<li><strong>Other classes:</strong>
<p>
Just for information, there are sometimes classes 4 and 5, or they can also be classified as A, B, C, D, E. All that you have to remember is that: A/1 is the one with the most carbon content and E/5 (or whichever is the lowest) is the one with the least carbon content.

<h4>Radioactivity</h4>
</p>
<p>
Since there are a couple of articles scaring people about this subject (more on the french internet!), it seemed important to speak about it!</p>
<blockquote><p>For the anecdote, the absence of any sort of negative effect can be proven by the springs of Karelia, where shungite comes from, the N°1 health center of russia (Marcialnie Vodi, or Marcial Waters Resort) uses these sources abundantly. What&#8217;s interesting is that the Russian literature clearly states that these healing properties are due to the presence of shungite, but france completely ignores it and says that it is iron that is responsible for these effects, and that the health center attracts no one anymore&#8230; <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcial_%28Spa_russe%29" title="Marcial (Spa russe)" target="_blank">Marcial (Spa russe)</a>, that being said, the historic reputation of the healing properties of this place are known to all! For the fact that French literature, and English also (but a bit less), ignores shungite seems normal, because more than 90% of the sources of information I find about shungite are all from Russia, it seems that it attracts the attention of no person of science outside of Russia.<br />
The second spring with healing properties due to shungite is in the north of the Onega lake, called &#8220;Tri Ivana&#8221;. Water there is completely transparent and there is nothing special measurable in it, and yet it heals skin problems with perfection.<br />
Many people visited this source to get healed, in spite of the lack of infrastructures. Apparently the forest there is covered with clothes. According to a Russian custom saying that is a person is healed it should leave his/her clothes on the spot, many people seem to have been healed!</p></blockquote>
<p>What I understand from that fits perfectly the way in which shungite is supposed to work, thanks to the hydrated fullerene-like molecules and hence the healing effects are probably not caused by the carbon directly, but by the interaction between water and shungite which promotes the spontaneous formation of these nanoparticles which then become hydrated fullerenes.</p>
<p>Lets get back to the radioactivity topic, I suppose it is possible that some stones coming from I don&#8217;t know where are radioactive, after all, these are stones coming from more or less deep hydrocarbons layers of the earth etc. Or it is not a well known fact, but all petrol extraction platforms become radioactive with time, because anything that comes from deep underground is radioactive to a certain degree.</p>
<p>As you can see it on this article from the New York Times in 1990: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/03/us/radiation-danger-found-in-oilfields-across-the-nation.html" target="_blank" title="RADIATION DANGER FOUND IN OILFIELDS ACROSS THE NATION">http://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/03/us/radiation-danger-found-in-oilfields-across-the-nation.html</a><br />
Or this extract of an article of 1958 barely readable I managed to save long ago:<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/1015aad2844440ce0e5badda224b352f.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/1015aad2844440ce0e5badda224b352f-300x217.jpg" alt="1015aad2844440ce0e5badda224b352f" width="300" height="217" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4483" /></a></p>
<p>Anyhow, lets get back to business after this brief detour.</p>
<p>People are scared of radioactivity because it can cause genetic mutations. Personally I wonder if all these mutations are bad, can&#8217;t there be forms of light radioactivity that provoke beneficial mutations?<br />
That&#8217;s what I think, because we&#8217;re still quite far from understanding radioactivity as a whole, we have alpha, beta, gamma etc. radiations, but the only thing that science takes into account is the energy of the vibration (and the mass of the particle for some cases), nowhere is the specific shape of the waveform being taken into account? Is it a pure sine wave, of a fundamental frequency modulated in a complex fashion (adding a lot of subharmonics or just some). While no one will be able to give me a satisfying answer to these questions, I cannot personally take into account what modern science has to say about the subject, it is way too simplified for my taste, I studied it at university, I know what I&#8217;m talking about!<br />
Wilhelm Reich modified a Geiger counter to measure orgone and it seems very logical to ma, positive orgone being, from my point of view, just the presence of a lof of coherence/harmonics between many vibrations (be they electric, magnetic, electromagnetic, physical/auditive) and deadly orgone being just an absence of harmony/coherence; or even better said, extreme destructive interferences and signals that can&#8217;t be harmonics of anything, for example like PSK which creates totally deformed waveforms that cannot be put in coherence with anything&#8230; Anyway it seems logical to me that we can induce harmonicities or in-harmonicities between multiples waves at an atomic scale as well and thus that it can be measured.</p>
<p>That being said, you don&#8217;t have to bother about my point of view on this matter, to ease your minds I bought a Geiger counter to measure the radioactivity levels on shungite I bought, so it&#8217;s simple and what I think becomes irrelevant in terms of convincing about that matter. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nGe17ck5TcM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
(The radex counter doesn&#8217;t measure alpha radiations)</p>
<p>I explained the calculations a bit too quickly on the video, for scientific people these are useless explanations, and for those that don&#8217;t understand it was too quick!<br />
There are units, my counter measures in µSv/h. To convert to different units (nano, micro ,milli), 1000000 nSv = 1000 µSv = 1 mSv<br />
And official organisms usually use mSV per year as a measuring unit, and not by hour. In a year there are (365 days) X (24 hours) = 8760 hours.<br />
To convert the values from the counter (µSv/h) to (mSv/year) you have to multiply the value of the counter by 8760 (hour -> year) and divide by 1000 (micro -> milli), which makes in the end a simple multiplication by 8,76.<br />
So.<br />
Official organisms, depending on the country will show, that 1-3 mSv/year is the average dose a human is exposed to on this planet, from natural sources and human sources combined.<br />
<img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/744182e.jpg" alt="744182e" width="650" height="647" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4486" /><br />
With the value I measured in my workshop on the box of shungite rocks, 0.14 µSv/h, which makes 1.23 mSv/year.<br />
With the value I measured in my room on samples of shungite from <a href="http://shungit-store.com/" title="ShungiteStore" target="_blank">http://shungit-store.com/</a>, 0.21 µSv/h, which makes 1.84 mSv/year.<br />
Whichever I chose, it is within the accepted doses for humans, much less that an average smoker, much less than someone having a CT scan each year, etc.<br />
And there is no need to remain near the shungite all the time, as you saw, when I went a couple of meters away to measure the levels somewhere else in my room, it was around 0.10 µSv/h (0.876 mSv/year)&#8230;</p>
<p>As you can see on the diagram above we&#8217;re far from the dangerous levels of 20-100 mSv/year etc.<br />
It&#8217;s up to you, for me this light natural radioactivity is fine, I feel that this stone is beneficial for me at some moment, so I won&#8217;t stop using it!<br />
For information, on the french <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc88T202P9A" title="Test of radioactivity of shungite " target="_blank">vidéo</a> I made, the counter gave 0.18 µSv/h (1.57 mSv/year) for both measurements.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t hide it, one of the sellers I talk about in the video, <a href="http://shungit-store.com/" title="ShungiteStore" target="_blank">http://shungit-store.com/</a> made a deal with me, where I get 10% on all sales passing through here. Hence in return, it seemed normal to me to explain what/how to use shungite and to certify that the shungite they sell is indeed shungite, not much more radioactive than other naturally radioactive stones, for example like granitic places in the middle of france (~3 mSv/year).<br />
Because there is some controversy about shungite being highly radioactive and dangerous. Maybe these people got stones that weren&#8217;t shungite.<br />
To get back to <a href="http://shungit-store.com/" title="ShungiteStore" target="_blank">http://shungit-store.com/</a> I accepted their offer because they have fantastic prices, I didn&#8217;t want to become another middlemen to increase prices needlessly, it&#8217;s best to send you directly to the source! However it takes around 2 weeks for the package to arrive (to europe) because it&#8217;s coming from russia. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  For heavy orders (above 1kg) shipping prices are more consequent, but for small orders, some stones, bracelets, etc. it&#8217;s great. I would just be grateful if you told them you come from here if yo udecide to get something from them.

<p>
<h4>How to use shungite</h4>
</p>
<p>
With all that I&#8217;ve described previously, we can summarize everything more or less as follows.<br />
Shungite can be used to purify all sorts of environments, for the air, for the soil, for liquids&#8230;<br />
It also has, thanks to these same purifying properties, powerful antibacterial and aseptic effects, it&#8217;s useful to use it as an antiseptic.<br />
Shungite is also very useful to treat humans, animals and plants, just thanks to its depolluting properties and the fact that it can be ingested without any troubles, like activated charcoal.<br />
What&#8217;s also interesting, is to use a shungite stone near a wound, an hematoma or any kind of injury (open or closed) creating various pains. It should mechanically lower the pain in many cases, because our body reacts to such injuries by releasing enzymes, white blood cells, red blood cells etc. to heal the injury, but also free-radicals and various toxins due to the inflammatory reaction. Placed on the painful zone, shungite will attract these molecules and toxins released by our body, usually these molecules partly increase our pain!<br />
Apparently Koreans use shungite to purify fish of the toxins they accumulate in seawater! Personally that seems, to me, to be a very good idea to apply to the fish we eat! Let the fish bath in water with shungite. What I&#8217;d recommend, to have quick effects, is a container with approximately half of the volume in water and half of the volume as rough shungite stones. And just place the fish in it for a couple of hours should be more than enough to benefit from the absorbing properties of shungite. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
With much less shungite, just bathe the fish for longer&#8230;<br />
I will talk about the properties to protect against electromagnetic waves below and separately.

I use these terms to indicate that I&#8217;ll now go a bit astray from what&#8217;s considered objective and material science, to speak about subtle things and about properties that are still difficult to prove with objective/material means.<br />
Shungite seems to restore the mental health of a person, which is great, because it&#8217;s simple and it works well!<br />
Shungite, like orgonite, seems also to be able to neutralize geopathogen zones.<br />
You will see on any lithotherapy website that the classification of shungite is quite special, naturally, being a black stone it has grounding features and protection/absorption of the surrounding negativity, like many other black stones, for example black tourmaline, black obsidian etc.<br />
But on top of that, shungite has a powerful effect on all chakras, to realign/recenter them. That&#8217;s why I love it personally, I feel as if the stone is always changing its &#8220;attitude&#8221; all the time to adapt to the needs. Sometimes it works more on one chakra, sometimes more on another one, sometimes on multiple ones at once. It&#8217;s very special!<br />
For me it&#8217;s not metaphysical at all, shungite works in the same way orgonite does, I&#8217;ll explain it below, keep on reading, it&#8217;s not over. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />

<h4>Protection against electromagnetic waves</h4>
</p>
<p>
Shungite is a relatively good electrical conductor (a couple of ohms of resistance), with apparently a high attenuation for electromagnetic waves.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>For your information:</strong><br />
The electrical conductivity is a very practical property to know if your have proper shungite. You just have to measure the resistance of the stone with a voltmeter, if it indicates a couple of ohms, it is shungite. Else any other stone is almost always non-conducting and hence will indicate you an infinite resistance.</p></blockquote>
<p>To get back to the attenuation, it is expressed in term of frequencies, for example sunglasses attenuate well the intensity of visible light, but they change nothing for a lot of other frequencies. And I do not know these details with regards to shungite.<br />
All I found mentioning attenuations at the frequencies of interest to us (microwaves) are documents from the Minsk University in Belarus with tests on pyramids covered of a shungite powder paint or filled with shungite. Indicating that the paint or the stone have an attenuation around 20 to 25 dB for frequencies above 2 GHz, <a href="http://www.uotechnology.edu.iq/tec_magaz/2014/volum322014/No.12.A.2014/Text%284%29.pdf" title="Shielding Properties of Electromagnetic Radiation Absorbers with Geometrical and Structure Heterogeneities" target="_blank">Shielding Properties of Electromagnetic Radiation Absorbers with Geometrical and Structure Heterogeneities</a>.<br />
That being said, these details are not very important, it&#8217;s not in the plans of many people to paint a room with a shungite powder paint, or to cover a room with shungite tiles. It would be using the same principles as making Faraday cages, therefore someone intending to do that  might as well make a metallic Faraday cage that blocks everything!</p>
<p>
<a name="tech"></a><br />
<strong>Metatechnical explanation of shungite :</strong><br />
However what is of interest to me is the structure of shungite, it is very similar to orgonite! It&#8217;s an electrical conductor with a resistance of a couple of ohms and it is exactly the same for the resin/metal mix of orgonite. Shungite is mainly composed of carbon, with silica (SiO2 = quartz!) and mica &#8216;impurities&#8217; and also other small impurities, of which metals. Orgonite is composed of long carbonated chains, metal and quartz.<br />
But shungite can also act on the magnetic components of electromagnetic fields. It can been seen exactly like orgonite, shungite can capt/emit electromagnetic waves, electric fields and the quartz inside shungite can act as an oscillator and then the shungite can re-emit the harmonized signal thanks to the quartz. However, in shungite, the carbon acting as conductor can also conduct magnetic fields, I don&#8217;t know exactly what it can lead up to, certainly with interferences it can influence the totality of the electromagnetic waves that are picked up and not only just on the electric fields as with orgonite.
</p>
<p>I find in that sense that shungite is even more powerful than orgonite, because it can play on the electric and magnetic fields of electromagnetic waves, but shungite is so special that we cannot tell on what it will act. With an orgonite, we put some stones in it and we know more or less on which energetical aspects  it will act. Shungite, does as it pleases!<br />
Adding shungite in orgonite is an evident positive bonus <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  I just don&#8217;t do it generally (up to now, may 2015), because I find shungite way too powerful and unpredictable , it can really affect us very strongly, I don&#8217;t feel ready to take that responsibility, because by doing that I&#8217;m expecting even more questions and effects on people. Shungite is, I feel, a very powerful ally for personal growth, without even mentioning the above discussed cleaning properties that are easily proven by science!<br />
That being said, shungite is self-sufficient, it doesn&#8217;t need to be inside an orgonite to have enormous effects.

<p>
<h4>How to cleanse/purify shungite?</h4>
</p>
<p>
From an energetical point of view, it is said almost everywhere that shungite cannot get charged and hence doesn&#8217;t need any cleaning/cleansing.<br />
But from a more down to earth point of view, for water filters for example, it is recommended to change the stones every 6 months of so, because they&#8217;ll be saturated with toxic compounds etc. absorbed to purify the water.<br />
How do we reconciliate these two aspects, it doesn&#8217;t need to be purified but it absorbs toxins physically? According to me there is nothing to reconcile, it goes perfectly well with what I understand about shungite! Whether we see it from a &#8216;spiritual&#8217; or &#8216;materialistic&#8217; point of view, for me it changes nothing at all! The additional property; on top of sorption, desorption and catalysis; which is obvious in my opinion, is a process of vibratory harmonization, like orgonite, as I explained in the previous chapter. That&#8217;s also the reason why it cannot charge itself with bad energies, energetically speaking, because it works like an orgonite, it transmutes inharmonious vibes mixes into harmonious ones.<br />
And with regards to the concern of purifying it physically, &#8220;when it accumulated too many toxins&#8221;. I talk about the subject on this page,<br />
<a href="/?page_id=505#chemtrails&amp;lang=en" title="Questions about Cloudbusters &gt; Chemtrails?">Questions about Cloudbusters &gt; Chemtrails?</a> and I don&#8217;t need to say anything else here either. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<blockquote><p>I cannot prove how the cleaning of the toxic compounds in chemtrails occurs, but my theory is quite simple. It&#8217;s an atomic transmutation of the elements, i.e. a transformation of the nucleus of these harmful materials, which transforms them into harmless elements. But don&#8217;t come to me for remarks <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> , I studied that myself at university, the transmutation of elements is not considered as a possible feat at such low energies&#8230; But that&#8217;s a much vaster topic, for me it&#8217;s obvious the orgonite acts on the vibrational structure of atoms at an atomic scale, but that&#8217;s beyond the actual scientific understandings, hence patience, the time will come. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p></blockquote>
<p>Shungite can free itself from the accumulated toxins by desorption, by rinsing it with water or other &#8216;cleaning&#8217; things, however here I can unfortunately not tell you what works best and how. And then by transmuting the toxins as well.<br />
I think it&#8217;s just an equilibrium to respect, if shungite is exposed to too many toxins too quickly it won&#8217;t be able to transmute everything quickly enough, hence you&#8217;ll need to clean it up physically. Generally it is recommended to change the shungite stones used to purify water every 6 months, as I said above. But I don&#8217;t think it is necessary to throw them away, but I do think it&#8217;s good to have a couple of different batches to interchange them once in a while to let others self-clean themselves, while other are doing the work etc. And as with orgonite, I&#8217;m convinced  that you just have to leave shungite outside in contact with the elements of nature and it will self-cleanse.<br />
But I&#8217;d tend to leave shungite for many weeks outside, for orgonite a couple of hours is enough, because orgonite just cleanses energetically (yes, it ends up also transmuting toxins, but shungite absorbs them physically.. orgonite does none of that), shungite does both! Energetically and physically; I feel shungite deserves more relaxing/recharging time. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />

<h4>What is gluten?</h4>
<p><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/intolerance_au_gluten_allergie.jpg" alt="intolerance_au_gluten_allergie" width="257" height="355" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4239" /><br />
Gluten is a mixture of proteins combined with starch in the endosperm of most cereals.</p>
<p>It constitutes around 80% of the proteins contained in wheat.</p>
<p>Gluten is responsible for the elasticity of the flour paste as well as the chewiness of cereal products cooked in a oven.</p>
<p>It is important to know that gluten is present only in proteins of cereals, as such, all cereals contain gluten.</p>
<p>Gluten is divided into two groups: prolamins and glutenins.</p>
<p>The proteins of the prolamin family are at the source of the celiac disease and of the very pernicious intolerance.</p>
<p>Wheat (alpha gliadin), rye (secalin) and barley (hordein) are the most toxic, followed by corn (zenin).</p>
<p>During millions of years, humans consumed natural foods, similar to that of wild animals. The digestive enzymes of the mucins  were adapted to all the various ingested substances.</p>
<p>The modern diet is rich in new macromolecules, for which enzymes and mucins are not often adapted.</p>
<p><strong>Even if taken in small quantities or exceptionally, a food containing gluten causes lesions to the intestine.</strong></p>
<p>Currently, the food industries change the cereals in exaggerated ways, they have become even more unassimilable and therefore eve more toxic than they were before.</p>
<h4>The role of gluten in our diet</h4>
<p>Gluten is a protein present in cereals. Gluten influences the baking properties of flour. Gluten absorbs water which is added to the flour and swells such as to produce a dough. During baking, gluten frees-up a part of the retained water and links itself to starch contained in the flour, which ensures the cohesion of the bread.</p>
<p>Gluten can be regarded as a glue for these cereals. It is responsible for the binding and clumping capacity of cereals and their use for the production of pastas and breads. Unfortunately gluten is frequently used in the food industry and can hide itself in a multitude of products, under different names.</p>

<p>Cereals that raise very little, have a very low percentage of prolamine. Quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat are seeds, not grains.</p>
<p>When proteins of cereal and milk are not completely degraded, they cross the intestinal wall and go into the bloodstream.</p>
<p>These peptides then transformed into &#8220;opioid peptides&#8221; will behave in the body like some morphine derivatives and bind with specific receptors for these biochemical substances. By occupying and saturating these receivers, peptides from gluten and casein poorly metabolized, will then lead to behavior disturbances and encourage the development of degenerative diseases and degeneration of the central nervous system. So, stick strictly to authorized flour if you want to get quick and dramatic results.</p>
<p><strong>Important! A gluten molecule contains 16 opioid molecules.</strong></p>

<h4>Gluten intolerance</h4>
<p>Certains individus ont la possibilité d&#8217;ingérer du <strong>gluten</strong> sans aucune conséquence pathologique (ils sont rares, de plus en plus rares). D&#8217;autres manifesteront certaines pathologies mais ne feront aucun lien avec les intolérances dérivant du lait et du gluten. Certains sujets susceptibles à ces deux substances débelopperont des pathologies, et leurs médecins plus informés feront le lien entre leurs intolérances et allergies liés à leurs pathologies, comme par exemple le gluten peut provoquer des lésions de la muqueuse jéjunale corrélée à tous les symptômes décrits plus haut (tableau du Pr. Reichelt).</p>
<p>Le gluten est reconnu depuis longtemps comme un allergène/antigène majeur. Une réaction d’intolérance sert de base au mécanisme de cette maladie. Le gluten déclenche en tant qu’antigène une réaction immunitaire qui, suite à un apport alimentaire quotidien, aboutit à une réaction inflammatoire chronique avec finalement une atteinte des tissus. Les lésions tissulaires progressent au cours du temps jusqu’à la destruction complète des villosités intestinales.</p>
<p>Si l’on mange mal on va sélectionner certains types de bactéries, c’est-à-dire que suivant le milieu nutritif que l’on va donner à nos bactéries, on va plutôt favoriser les unes par rapport aux autres. On a une mauvaise assimilation : plus on mange moderne, plus on est carencé et on a des micro-villosités défectueuses, et donc on peut de moins en moins absorber et digérer correctement des produits qui sont plus ou moins bien dégradés de ce fait. On n’est plus en phase avec notre environnement. Cela aboutit à une détérioration de la muqueuse intestinale. On crée alors rapidement une hyper perméabilité intestinale.</p>
<p>L’alimentation est un facteur environnemental qui excite le système immunitaire, ce qui fait que la réaction immunitaire s’auto-entretient. Si vous arrêtez d’exciter le système  immunitaire, les choses se calment et petit à petit, il y a une régulation.</p>
<p>On sait que l’alimentation peut modifier jusqu’à 60% l’expression des gènes. On ne va pas créer de nouveaux gènes, mais on peut accentuer très fortement la production de molécules bénéfiques ou au contraire maléfiques. Les aliments que nous mangeons vont directement, sous forme découpée, au niveau du génome. Ce sont des promoteurs du génome.</p>
<p>Dans énormément de maladies graves et compliquées, pour lesquelles il n’y a pas de solution médicamenteuse, si l’on ferme la perméabilité intestinale, immanquablement on va forcément améliorer les choses.</p>
<p>Le mercure augmente la perméabilité intestinale. Il n’est pas seulement toxique pour le cerveau mais aussi pour touts les organes et les tissus.</p>
<h4>Symptômes et signes d’intolérance au gluten</h4>

<h4>Les effets du gluten sur le cerveau</h4>
<p><strong>La protéine pénètre le cerveau et y exerce ses effets pathogènes.</strong></p>
<p>Les peptides opioïdes franchissent d’autant plus aisément la barrière hémato-méningée qu’ils en augmentent la perméabilité et sont retrouvés dans le liquide céphalo-rachidien. Ils perturbent l’apprentissage, l’affectivité, la socialisation.</p>
<p>Nourris au gluten, le rat perd ses facultés d’apprentissage, le chat adopte un comportement bizarre, les chatons, les chiots et les poussins ne pleurent pas lors du sevrage.</p>
<p>Surtout ils perturbent la trophicité et l’organisation cérébrale dans les premières années de vie et à la puberté, périodes de maturation cad des migrations et positionnement des neurones et de la multiplication des cellules gliales dans les différentes couches tissulaires.</p>
<p>Les peptides opioïdes dérivés du gluten ont un rôle étiopathogénique dans l’autisme.</p>
<p>L’association pathogénique gluten-autisme est née des travaux épidémiologiques de Dohan établissant une corrélation quantitative très forte entre l’incidence de la schizophrénie et la consommation de céréales.</p>
<p>Le Pr. Reichelt élargissait cette recherche à l’autisme et établissait, imité par d’autres auteurs, la présence quasi constante et à des taux élevés, de peptides opioïdes dérivés du gluten dans les liquides biologiques d’enfants autistes.</p>
<p>Pour affirmer la responsabilité d’une protéine alimentaire dans le développement d’une maladie, 3 conditions doivent être remplies :</p>
<p>    La protéine alimentaire franchit intacte cad active la muqueuse digestive ;<br />
    La protéine atteint l’organe malade, ici le cerveau, et y exerce ses effets délétères ;<br />
    L’éviction de la protéine incriminée amène la guérison ou l’amélioration des troubles.</p>
<p><strong>Construction pathogénique</strong></p>
<p>Le déficit initial est digestif et enzymatique à l’image des déficits en osidases qui digèrent les sucres alimentaires.</p>
<p>La muqueuse duodénale est déficitaire en peptidase et notamment la dipeptidase de type IV et digère incomplètement le gluten en peptides opioïdes, qui en s’accumulant essaiment dans le sang et exercent leurs effets pathogènes par leur activité sur les récepteurs opioïdes et/ou par leur inhibition des peptidases tissulaires très répandues et dont le rôle dans l’organisme est encore mal connu.</p>
<p>Il est important de différencier ce mécanisme de celui de la maladie coeliaque, la plus emblématique quoique la moins fréquente et souvent la seule connue des pathologies issues d’une « intolérance au gluten ».</p>
<p>Dans la maladie coeliaque, le gluten avec la complicité de l’HLA-DQ2 génère un anticorps fatal à la transglutaminase, enzyme de réparation tissulaire de la muqueuse digestive qui existe dans d’autres tissus (cerveau notamment). C’est la perte de cette faculté de réparation qui entraînera l’atrophie villeuse et le syndrome digestif.</p>
<p>Les « coeliaques » ont de plus, soit par déficit enzymatique soit par effraction muqueuse, une hyperpeptidémie – hyperpeptidurie opioïde responsable d’un tableau neuropsychiatrique (épilepsie, dépression), dans 2/3 des cas.</p>
<p>La maladie coeliaque est une allergie au gluten, mais on sait que 30% des adultes sont intolérants au gluten.</p>
<h4>Le gluten et les atteintes neurologiques</h4>
<p><strong>Sans graisse, riche en fibres, en magnésium et en vitamines B1 et B6, le pain pourrait être un parfait aliment santé, base idéale d’une alimentation saine et équilibrée. Mais…</strong></p>
<p>Nombreuses sont les personnes souffrant de diverses maladies et troubles dès lors qu’elles s’alimentent avec ce « mythique aliment » qu’est le pain.</p>
<p>Maladie coeliaque, maladie de Crohn, cancer des intestins, ajoutés aux pathologies psychiatriques et divers troubles du comportement tels l’autisme, l’hyperactivité, les troubles scolaires ou encore la schizophrénie… Bref tant de pathologies, troubles mentaux plus divers les uns que les autres dont le principal responsable incriminé est… le gluten du pain ! Et malheureusement, nos enfants sont en première ligne concernant les risques.</p>
<p>Pourquoi assistons-nous, de nos jours, à une explosion fulgurante du nombre d’allergies, et principalement d’intolérances aux céréales ?</p>
<p>En quoi le gluten de notre pain serait-il devenu nocif pour l’Homme moderne ?</p>
<p>Quel rôle jouerait-il dans les troubles mentaux ?</p>
<p><strong>Agriculture… évolution et mutation</strong></p>
<p>L’agriculture de l’Homme occidental a délaissé depuis longtemps l’exploitation naturelle des cultures au profit de « l’intensif ». Suivant les régions du monde et durant des milliers d’années, les céréales ont été la base de notre nourriture. Le blé, l’orge, l’avoine, le seigle, le riz… autrefois sauvages, présentaient une très grande variabilité génétique mais ceux-ci furent très vite réduits par l’autopollinisation dans les champs puis par la sélection des espèces par l’Homme.</p>
<p>En effet, dès l’époque romaine, les espèces cultivées présentaient de meilleures capacités à s’agglutiner pour la confection de la pâte à pain, qualité liée à la présence de gluten et furent donc privilégiées.</p>
<p>C’est ainsi que les céréales mutantes caractérisées par un rachis solide (le rachis désigne la fixation de la graine à l’épi) tendent à se multiplier dans les zones cultivées, au détriment des céréales ordinaires : le gluten a fait son apparition dans notre « pain quotidien » !</p>
<p>Bien que l’agriculture permit la sédentarisation de l’humanité, il y eut cependant un prix à payer : la genèse de nouvelles maladies liées au caractère toxique de l’intolérance au gluten, plus communément appelée la maladie coeliaque.</p>
<p><strong>Pourquoi y a-t-il de plus en plus de personnes allergiques et intolérantes aux céréales ?</strong></p>
<p>Pour comprendre la nocivité du gluten, son implication dans les troubles mentaux, il nous faut explorer les unités catalytiques de nos voies métaboliques essentielles : les systèmes enzymatiques.</p>
<p>Je vous amène, donc, avec votre permission, au coeur du carrefour des disciplines biologiques et physicochimiques. Rassurez-vous, je vous épargnerai les mécanismes scientifiques trop complexes. Etes-vous prêt ? Allons-y !</p>
<p><strong>Généralisons :</strong></p>
<p>L’intolérance au gluten se résume à un dérèglement de notre système enzymatique. Les protéines des céréales ne sont, en effet, pas complètement digérées, il en va de notre santé. Même le plus succulent des pains naturels à base de farine de blé bio, pétri avec amour et garanti sans produits chimiques et sans conservateurs, constituerait un redoutable poison pour l’organisme intolérant ! Quels sont les principaux suspects pointés du doigt par bon nombre de chercheurs internationaux (Cf. les études du professeur américain Boyd E. Haley) ? Appelons à la barre les métaux toxiques et les virus…</p>
<p><strong>Les métaux lourds incriminés</strong></p>
<p>Parmi les hypothèses étiopathogéniques les plus fréquemment accréditées dans la littérature internationale scientifique, nous retrouvons les métaux toxiques tels le plomb, le cadmium, l’aluminium et, enfin, l’ennemi numéro un le plus redoutable, le mercure !</p>
<p>Ces métaux, nous les côtoyons au quotidien : amalgames dentaires (mercure, étain, argent), cigarettes (cadmium,<br />
mercure), vaccins en général (aluminium jouant le rôle de conservateur) et plus particulièrement le vaccin contre le ROR rubéole-oreillons-rougeole (mercure sous forme de thimérosal), ou encore pesticides en tout genre, additifs et conservateurs alimentaires, etc. (Cf. les études du Pr Boyd E. Haley, biochimiste et toxicologue américain, des épidémiologistes Jean-Jacques Melet et Marie Grosman et des Pr Maurice Rabache et André Picot<br />
du CNRS en France).</p>
<p><strong>Et gare aux effets indésirables !</strong></p>
<p>En s’accumulant dans l’organisme, les métaux lourds ont une action inhibitrice sur une classe d’enzymes que l’on nomme les peptidases. Ces dernières sont notamment destinées à la dégradation complète d’un ensemble de protéines alimentaires provenant du gluten. Par exemple, le mercure inhibe la DPPIV, une enzyme censée détruire le glutamorphine au cours de la digestion.</p>
<p><strong>Quand l’intestin déraille…</strong></p>
<p>C’est un véritable empoisonnement chronique qui atteint la personne. Les protéines issues du pain, non complètement dégradées, franchissent en premier lieu la paroi intestinale, déjà altérée par le mercure et les virus, et se retrouvent ainsi dans le torrent du système sanguin.</p>
<p>Ces peptides, alors transformés en « peptides opiacés », vont se comporter dans l’organisme exactement comme certains dérivés morphiniques et se fixer sur les récepteurs biochimiques spécifiques à ces substances. En occupant et <strong>en saturant les récepteurs, les peptides provenant du gluten, mal métabolisés, vont alors entraîner des dérèglements du comportement et favoriser le développement de maladies dégénératives du système nerveux central.</strong> En effet, l’accumulation de ces opioïdes inhibe le développement de ce dernier, provoquant ainsi un dysfonctionnement progressif.</p>
<p><strong>Saviez-vous qu’une molécule de gluten contient jusqu’à 16 molécules de dérivés morphiniques ?</strong> Par ailleurs, si, et seulement si, ces sujets présentent des dérèglements du mécanisme enzymatique propre à la glia (ensemble des cellules nerveuses du cerveau), en quelque sorte une altération de la barrière hémato-encéphalique, alors ces glutamorphines peuvent, en second lieu, traverser cette membrane, entraînant une accumulation neuronale et par conséquent favoriser le développement de troubles mentaux et comportementaux.</p>
<p><strong>Virus des vaccins et microbactéries</strong></p>
<p>Les virus des vaccins peuvent circuler dans le sang, se loger dans différentes zones cérébrales, causant ainsi, en association à l’action des glutamorphines, de légères encéphalites, des arrêts du langage, etc.</p>
<p>Pire encore, les micro-organismes (champignons comme le Candida albicans) peuvent s’installer rapidement dans toutes les muqueuses et en particulier dans l’intestin. Véritables envahisseurs, ils contribuent à la formation d’une paroi empêchant l’absorption normale des aliments, des vitamines et… malheureusement du pain !</p>
<p><strong>Les symptômes majeurs</strong></p>
<p>Le désordre biochimique auquel se retrouve confronté notre organisme lors d’une intoxication au gluten est à l’origine d’un éventail de désordres comportementaux souvent qualifiés, de façon erronée, de « psychosomatiques » ou « gastriques ».</p>
<p>Quelques exemples : problèmes scolaires, dyspraxie, dyslexie, déficit d’attention et de comportement, hypo et hyperactivité, problèmes relationnels, violences, divers types autistiques (avec ou sans langage), troubles involontaires convulsifs (tic), troubles obsessionnels compulsifs (toc), automutilations, perturbation du sommeil, fatigue chronique, maladies de l’intestin (ballonnements, constipation, maladie coeliaque, maladie de Crohn, carcinomes de l’intestin…) schizophrénie, etc.</p>
<p><strong>La preuve biochimique</strong></p>
<p>Ces troubles « mentaux envahissants » causés par la dégradation partielle du gluten ont été mis en lumière par le professeur norvégien Karl Reichelt de l’Institut pédiatrique d’Oslo. En effet, il a incriminé dès 1986 la présence de peptides du gluten dans les urines de sujets hyperactifs, autistes, épileptiques et schizophrènes.</p>
<p><strong>Une solution, une analyse : la peptidurie</strong></p>
<p>Tous ces troubles obscurs peuvent être prévenus, notamment grâce à une simple analyse d’urine : la <a href="http://www.intolerancegluten.com/analyses.html">peptidurie</a>. Celle-ci va mettre en évidence des toxiques, et en quelle quantité, qui perturbent l’activité électrique du cerveau.</p>
<p>Grâce aux brillantes découvertes du professeur Karl Reichelt et à ses analyses de peptides urinaires, les patients peuvent, comme je l’ai fait pour mon fils, mettre en place un changement alimentaire individualisé exempté de gluten permettant ainsi de mettre fin à une longue litanie de symptômes et de se construire une nouvelle vie en pleine santé.</p>

<p><a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.08_SDC10780.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.08_SDC10780-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3945" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.24: First visit since more than 3 months. Global view.<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_GOPR0150.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_GOPR0150-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4293" /></a> <a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_GOPR0151.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_GOPR0151-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4294" /></a></p>
<p>The wheat held well, taking into account that we never took care of anything&#8230;<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11017.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11017-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4299" /></a></p>
<p>A small view of the different mounds, we did nothing there today. On the first one, a couple of radishes are growing, a friend wanted to make a small tunnel, but if no one is there to care about it, it won&#8217;t work! Hence the radishes sown in winter are germinating now. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

There are also leeks and onions here and there..</p>
<p>The potatoes were impatient. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11012.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11012-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4295" /></a></p>
<p>We removed a lot of the sprouts to be able to take them out of the bag&#8230;<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11013.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11013-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4296" /></a></p>
<p>And then had the envy to try and plant the sprouts only! With the most lazy method possible, lying on the ground, covered with straw and other organic rests. If it works well, it means that by keeping a potato, you have 2 seeds! The potato and the sprout that grows during the winter&#8230;<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11014.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11014-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4297" /></a></p>
<p>For the mound we used the Bolivian method as well, place teh potatoes on the ground and cover with a good layer of straw, that we&#8217;ll thicken as the potatoes grow. That&#8217;s it.<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11016.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11016-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4298" /></a></p>
<p>You can see the mound and the test part with sprouts on the right.<br />
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11019.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.24_SDC11019-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4301" /></a></p>

On the 14th of may we transplanted many plants from the greenhouse outside, well before what is usually done in our region, before the last likely frosts, especially on this terrain which exacerbates the temperature differences during the night.<br />
Celeriacs, tomatoes, some squashes, salads. And climbing beans and peas, but frankly it&#8217;s useless to transplant them, its much simpler to sow the outside straight away, we won&#8217;t do it again!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0163.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0163-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4449" /></a></p>
<p>The squashes, Turkish gourds and queen blue, you can see they were well developed under the greenhouse and put outside way too early on purpose!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0164.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0164-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4450" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0165.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0165-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4451" /></a></p>
<p>The transplanted climbing beans&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0166.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_GOPR0166-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4452" /></a></p>
<p>On the 20th of may you can still see the squashes and tomatoes just before 2 nights of frosts.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0168.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0168-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4453" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0169.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0169-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4454" /></a></p>
<p>The climbing peas and beans as well.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0170.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0170-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4455" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0171.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.20_GOPR0171-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4456" /></a></p>
<p>On the video made on the 22nd (the sound is missed, you have to increase the volume a lot to hear something!), you can see the tomatoes and squashes that were well affected by the frosts, but they held on.<br />

About 15 days later, the squashes resisted and grew back even stronger and the tomatoes are regrowing healthily as well.<br />

Nothing special to report, everything is going wonderfully well, the plants are growing and we&#8217;re adding new ones. It has been very dry since more than a month, it rained quickly just 2-3 times during the last month. I leave you with the video <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

Plants are growing well in the garden, but that&#8217;s not what is the most important to present to you in this video, it&#8217;s the second part, wild vegetables. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
What I forgot to explain in the video is that it will take time, because at first it will be hard to spot any of the randomly dispersed seeds the grow, but overtime they&#8217;ll surely form patches that will become easily noticeable.<br />
What I forgot to explain in the video is that in nature there are plenty of seeds, each plant makes them by the hundreds or even thousands. They fall on the ground, or are dispersed by the wind, by insects, by birds, by animals twiddling the plants. You must also understand that all this flora helps to bury these seeds so that they can germinate the next years, heavy animals trample on the seeds, ants modify the shape of the soil and also help cover the seeds, moles, rodents do the same, they also eat some, but it&#8217;s normal, there are so many seeds!<br />
Some seeds can also germinate just by laying on the ground.<br />
It&#8217;s a mix of all, we just have to let nature what she does best, perpetuate herself, diversify herself and adapt herself locally. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
And also have faith in the beings of nature, elves, gnomes, etc. They are there and also work in the invisible realms, we just have to explain them what to do (by thought it&#8217;s enough <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  ), or simply ask them to do what they feel is best. That&#8217;s it, the visible and invisible elements of nature take care of everything, you&#8217;ll see. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

I&#8217;m sharing with you interesting information about rodents, given that this year apparently the heat has been very beneficial for their proliferation and that the interactions fauna/flora are yet far from being equilibrated in that garden. Their abundant and prolonged presence allowed me to notice that there are obviously some plants they prefer and others they never touch. It&#8217;s valid for my region, Lorraine in France, I can&#8217;t guarantee that it&#8217;ll be the same everywhere else, most surely it won&#8217;t <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plants they like</strong>
<ul>
<li><i>Potatoes : </i>I don&#8217;t think all varieties attract them, but surely many are!</li>
<li><i>Cantaloupes : </i>there was only one variety in the garden so I can&#8217;t comment more.</li>
<li><i>Watermelons : </i>same here, only one variety. But I think they must like all varieties, these plants must have a similar taste..</li>
<li><i>Pumpkin/Squashes : </i>only of the types pumpkins (small, big). They didn&#8217;t touch the turkish gourds, or other varieties in the garden. Generally speaking pumpkins are like cantaloupes with very low sugar!</li>
<li><i>Wheat : </i>they&#8217;re rodents, they like seeds <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  That being said, it seems some mutations of wheat were left untouched (the most robust ones!).</li>
<li><i>Beetroots : </i>observed in my vegetable garden.</li>
<li><i>Carrots : </i>all varieties, observed in my vegetable garden.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Plants they don&#8217;t touch</strong>
<ul>
<li><i>Tomatoes : </i>all varieties. However they can eat the ripe tomatoes close to the ground. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </li>
<li><i>Beans : </i>all varieties.</li>
<li><i>Green peas : </i>there&#8217;s only one variety in the garden, but I tend to think rodents don&#8217;t eat any plants from the leguminous family as a general rule.</li>
<li><i>Salads : </i>all varieties.</li>
<li><i>Cabbages : </i>there are two varieties in the garden, but I also have kohlrabi at home and they never bothered it either. I think they don&#8217;t like cabbages in general.</li>
<li><i>Parsnips : </i>this is based on my own garden, they ate carrots, beetroots, potatoes, but nothing happened on the parsnips..</li>
<li><i>Celeriacs : </i>they don&#8217;t seem to attract them.</li>
<li><i>Radishes, turnips : </i>generally, it seems that root vegetables with a strong taste don&#8217;t attract them.</li>
<li><i>Sweet/hot peppers : </i>we didn&#8217;t distinguish them when sowing them, and they have no fruits for the moment so we can&#8217;t still differentiate them. But like their tastes for other things, I&#8217;d tend to think they are attracted by sweet peppers, not hot ones, even the plant must have a hot taste for them!</li>
<li><i>Eggplants : </i>no signs of any tries to eat them.</li>
<li><i>Zucchinis : </i>as I said above, squashes of the pumpkin type attract them, but not zucchini, neither many other varieties. Cantaloupes, watermelons, pumpkins are all cucurbitaceae with a tendency to a sweet taste, I think this is what attracts them, the plant must reflect the sweetness of the fruits <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </li>
<li><i>Cucumbers : </i> they don&#8217;t touch them, like zucchini, these are cucurbitaceae as well, but without a sugary taste.</li>
<li><i>Swiss chards : </i>observed in my garden where I have many small ones, no signs of rodents nearby.</li>
<li><i>Asparaguses : </i> the ones I have at home don&#8217;t seem to get visits from rodents.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>To be determined</strong>
<ul>
<li><i>Onions, garlics, leeks : </i>I don&#8217;t have enough experience to confirm it, we sowed almost none this year, but it seems that the taste doesn&#8217;t attract them that much. However, without anything more tasty nearby I guess they can eat them!</li>
<li><i>Potatoes : </i>observations in my garden where I have 4 varieties seem to indicate that they have preferences. The red ones with a hard inside don&#8217;t have much signs of rodents, whereas the violet/blue (much softer) we&#8217;re eaten in parts! I&#8217;ll try to test more varieties in the next years. Still, we need the presence of many rodents?? I can&#8217;t control nature, she teaches me what she wants when she wants it, I must follow her guidance <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </li>
<li><i>Mint : </i>it also seems that some varieties of mints act as repellents, because near some types of mints in my garden I&#8217;ve seen no signs of rodent activity..</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s already quite good and it gives me ideas! maybe we can diminish the overpopulation of rodents we have on the terrain simply by not planting what they seem to prefer! Evidently while also promoting a good environment for their natural predators, we&#8217;ll place tall masts for buzzards, because they already come quite often to hunt around the place in the evening!<br />
If we&#8217;d had time we would already have done it. I want also to make houses for tawny owls (big rodent predators), but without a big tree close to the garden i don&#8217;t know if it will work..<br />
We&#8217;ll see, anyway next year we&#8217;ll probably have new surprises and lessons, climate changes, this year it was really dry and hot. What will happen if the spring/summer is quite wet and not very warm <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
We also plan on making a small pond, for toads/frogs who love slugs (we have not seen many this year), the presence of water will surely be also convenient for hedgehogs if we setup good shelters for them?<br />
If we could, we would have introduced cats, but that&#8217;s for later, when we live in the middle of our field <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  It&#8217;s a balance, because after that, the cats hunt small birds, we must set hedges and trees so that they can have places to protect themselves from the cats&#8230;<br />
We&#8217;ll see, there are still many things to do. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

A small details about rodents to add, a rat ate a turkish gourd plant (not a mouse or fieldmouse)&#8230; I must do with rats, mice and fieldmice! What a great training ground. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
In the video I also talk about the surrounding imbalance that must be taken into account, human activity unbalances the whole of nature, wild animals like good foods, with natural cultures it&#8217;s obvious that they&#8217;ll be more attracted than by what&#8217;s around! It&#8217;s to be taken into account by those who want to start something somewhere, at the beginning they&#8217;ll be quite a lot of re-balancing to do, the predator/prey cycles at all scales must be rethought intelligently so that the surrounding unbalances don&#8217;t affect too much the culture zone, the more nature is balanced, the less work for us!<br />
I am naturally conscious that the garden itself is not yet balanced, but I noticed a much broader detail concerning us and the rodents. Since plowing kills a lot of rodents in the fields around, that also means less predators (they have less food) hence in our case, we don&#8217;t disturb them they can live freely in the ground as they wish. But we need the population of their natural predators to increase, all we can do is help by creating welcoming conditions. Mostly Buzzards and Owls, since we&#8217;re not allowed to have cats there, which might have been simpler in the short term&#8230; Though in the long run, owls and buzzards are better because we won&#8217;t need to feed them at all. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2015.01.08: We added a layer of horse manure (about 5cm thickness) and then 5cm of RCW on top of it. It&#8217;s to make the soil softer. Because it was as hard as rock since it never rains inside, horse manure is known to be good to lighten clay and the RCW should be good to attract some insects inside the greenhouse even with the lack of surface water.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.08_SDC10786.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.08_SDC10786-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3941" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.21: To start sowing of plants (from the south, needing more than 20°C of soil temperature to sprout) we made a warm layer with about 25-30cm of horse manure (there are 3 horses 50m away..), on top of it we added plastic trays so that the pots in them can bathe in water. Don&#8217;t forget we&#8217;re always trying to find lazy methods, even for sowings on hot beds. We don&#8217;t know if it will work, since we should normally come and stir the manure often to keep it warm. My friend will instead go every day quickly to add some more manure to keep the air warm.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10824.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10824-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3942" /></a><br />
Au début c&#8217;était irrespirable dans la serre, ça fumait!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10825.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10825-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3943" /></a></p>
<p>An asparagus sowed last year held on and has managed to set itself in the soil!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10826.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10826-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3944" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.03: We made quite a useless thing last time, we remade the warm layer properly, there&#8217;s about 60cm to 1m of horse manure, occupying a big part of the space in the greenhouse, so it makes also less volume to heat up, this time the warm layer is made as it should!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.03_SDC108421.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.03_SDC108421-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4022" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.13: 10 without any visit. The seeds germinated quite well.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10864.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10864-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4068" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10865.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10865-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4069" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10866.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10866-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4070" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10867.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10867-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4071" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10868.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10868-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4072" /></a></p>
<p>And I installed a bed of asparagus, 19 crowns (5 varieties mixed randomly), usually it is said they must be in a sandy soil well drained. Thinking about the history of asparagus, they used to grow in swamps, wet soils. therefore there, they are in a great soil (it didn&#8217;t see any human for 20 years!), which is gorged with water during most of the winter! I&#8217;m quite confident that they&#8217;ll thrive in that place, it&#8217;s also well protected from the cold.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10869.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10869-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4073" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10870.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC10870-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4074" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.23-24: My friend watched over the plants and watered them once in a while while I was on holiday. The turnips became quite big, we had to move them outside, no matter what the climate was, they wouldn&#8217;t have lasted inside in a small box of 40&#215;40 cm for more than 50 turnips! Hence we planted them just behind the greenhouse, in a place protected from the wind.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.23_SDC10874.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.23_SDC10874-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4179" /></a></p>
<p>Meanwhile tomatoes germinated well in my small indoor greenhouse.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.23_SDC10873.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.23_SDC10873-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4178" /></a></p>
<p>We sowed a lot of things the 23-24, the warm layer is full!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.24_SDC10880.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.24_SDC10880-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4180" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.07: I went to the greenhouse to transplant my tomatoes, they couldn&#8217;t stay in such a tin space anymore, I waited for a date I had by intuition, it turned out to be the right day, nice weather, but more importantly the weather started warming up again! We had between 5-15°C the first week of march, but then again between 0-10°C for the next 3 weeks! I was hesitating a lot, the tomatoes couldn&#8217;t bear the lack of space anymore, but I was afraid it would be too cold for the transplant, they couldn&#8217;t be put on the warm layer. In the end the weather warmed up just at the perfect last moment. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.07_SDC10886.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.07_SDC10886-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4181" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.07_SDC10887.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.07_SDC10887-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4182" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.23: It has been very hot for the last 2 weeks, the plants are growing a lot, it&#8217;s becomign hard to keep the in the greenhouse. But we&#8217;re still waiting a bit more to put them outside, in case there&#8217;s a small cold period again!?<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.23_SDC11011.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.23_SDC11011-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4281" /></a></p>
<p>2015.05.14: Most of the tomatoes have been put outside now, celeriacs as well, cucumbers and some squashes (giant blue and Turkish gourds).<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_SDC11098.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.05.14_SDC11098-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4463" /></a></p>
<p>2015.06.03: Other plants were sowed, cucumbers, peppers re-potted, some tomatoes that weren&#8217;t well developed last time are now good to go. And cantaloupes, watermelons, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants are replanted outside.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.06.03_SDC11120.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.06.03_SDC11120-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4464" /></a></p>

<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10817.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10817-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3936" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.21: When doing some tidying up in the garden I found this huge black radish, 1,8kg! I didn&#8217;t see it for almost 6 months&#8230; Because there were other smaller ones, but eaten by insects, with holes etc. thus I thought it was the same for this one and never took it out of the ground to check it, I was astonished, it remained good (about 90%, the top was a bit old) during all that time!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10827.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10827-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3937" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10830.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10830-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3938" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10831.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_SDC10831-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3939" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.01: Again a black radish I had never seen and a red onion. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.01_SDC10838.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.01_SDC10838-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4019" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.09: the first wild radishes of the year! They grew while the temperatures were between 0-10°C! They are much more rustic than the ones I sowed (bought) which didn&#8217;t germinate yet&#8230; They were quite tender, but I had to removed the hardened skin, it seems it was so to protect them from the cold!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10889.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10889-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4184" /></a></p>
<p>2015.06.14: In the previous years I presented all harvests, this year I decided to stop because they&#8217;re starting to become overwhelming, I will only report interesting harvests, for example vegetables that adapted to the region, out of the norm plants, etc. In this end of spring, there were already wuite a lot of strawberries and currants, and aromatic plants. I didn&#8217;t sow radishes, because I&#8217;m on a specific diet for detox and in my case radishes are not well suited, so that&#8217;s it, else there would have been quite a lot already! I keep/sow some just for seeds this year.</p>
<p>2015.07.17: A small update. During the last month I had around 2-3kg of shelled peas to eat and also 2,5kg of unshelled peas harvested. Which are now in the freezer.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11170.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11170-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4530" /></a><br />
These peas were sowed as a support for the potatoes, to help them grow better (leguminous plants -> nitrogen fixers).</p>
<p>We also must have eaten between 1 and 2kg of wild strawberries, when they have good growing conditions they can become quite big! Warmth, sun and humidity. The place where they grow best is on stones, with a souther exposure, the back of the stones keeps humidity, the stones keep the heat and all of it in full sun.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11144.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11144-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4529" /></a></p>
<p>And the first harvest of potatoes, &#8216;chéries&#8217; I think. 12.5kg on 3m².<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11169.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11169-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4531" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2015.01.04: It&#8217;s just for your information that I&#8217;m sharing this picture, these are cucumbers that sprouted in december! In a heap of grass cuttings from this summer on which I added RCW made from branches I cut a couple of weeks earlier, the mix nitrogen/carbon elevated the temperature quite quickly around 40-60°C for more than a week. It&#8217;s very useful to know, the seedlings held on fine udner snow and durign many days below 0°C. It&#8217;s good to know, all that&#8217;s needed for cucumbers to germinate is the soil temperature, they didn&#8217;t grow more, but they held on fine as seedlings under snow and in cold weather, it&#8217;s surprising, they are robust plants it seems. I&#8217;ll try to sow them around april this year instead of waiting for june/july like most people do. They might not be big grown so early, I&#8217;ll still be happy to have early tiny cucumbers!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.04_SDC10753.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.04_SDC10753-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3921" /></a></p>
<p>2015.01.05-06: A vegetable garden as I like it, well covered during all winter! I&#8217;ll remove weeds and plants only when I&#8217;ll sow, so that I leave the cover as long as possible to let insects do their decomposing work as much as they can until I&#8217;ll be forced to put them on a compost pile, because it&#8217;s obvious I&#8217;ll have to remove them, they won&#8217;t be fully decomposed by march/april..<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.04_SDC10754.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.04_SDC10754-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3922" /></a></p>
<p>I prepared a new mound, with wood underneath; as Claude Bourgignon often says, this method seems strange to him and I agree. But in this case it seems important, I plan on sowing corn, squash and beans in that spot, water tends to quickly leave, toward the field below/behind and also all the nearby trees sucking the water out of the soil. The wood logs seem useful to keep more moisture in the soil and I didn&#8217;t bury them too deep, seen from the back, the logs are maximum 10cm from the surface, mushrooms will be able to grow (presence of oxygen/aerobiosis) to decompose them. And as usual, never let the soil naked, hence since I did that during winter and no grass will grow to protect it, I added RCW to keep the soil protected!<br />

<p>2015.01.13: One comfrey B14 that was well in place in the vegetable garden since last year, I unearthed it to take the roots and replicate them in other places, around the <a href="/?p=3917&amp;lang=en" title="Greenhouse 2015">greenhouse</a> and in the <a href="/?p=3918&amp;lang=en" title="Garden with raised mounds 2015 (2nd year)">garden with raised mounds</a>.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.13_SDC10788.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.13_SDC10788-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3926" /></a></p>
<p>2015.01.22: I finished the planning of the vegetable garden, the bins B and C are placed, the straw is covering an artichoke, I hope it will resist the winter. That&#8217;s also why I removed the comfrey, it was in the way of the bins!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10793.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10793-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3927" /></a></p>
<p>Birds sow wild garlic everywhere (here next to the gooseberries), I love it <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  Nature helps us with so many synchronicities when we want to do something and commit 100% to it! I didn&#8217;t even mention the mushrooms that implanted themselves in the whole garden these last 3 years, 2 types of boletus and puffballs which I love! It&#8217;s quite crazy to have 3 different varieties of mushrooms in your own backyard, and quite tasty ones&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10794.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10794-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3928" /></a></p>
<p>A Rosemary plant that is holding on since 2 years already, it&#8217;s hard for him/her?, but I&#8217;m hopeful it will become robust enough to take a firm ground in there, usually rosemary is not supposed to handle freezing temperatures&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10795.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.01.22_SDC10795-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3929" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.03: a bit of snow covered the garden for about one week.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.03_SDC10803.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.03_SDC10803-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3930" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.15: Over 3 years I trimmed the trunks of this chestnut tree I had burned by mistake when I was young and it grew back in a bush shape for about 15 years&#8230; Now it&#8217;s back to one trunk, it was necessary to have enough light on the vegetable garden. The tree agreed to be cut that way, I admit, if it&#8217;s brutal, it had more than 15 trunks&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10813.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10813-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3931" /></a></p>
<p>The black radishes I had left so that they make seeds to have early radishes instead of SFP/MFP (Surface fertilizing plants/medium fertilizing plants&#8230; my terms for differentiating plants that most people call weeds) early in the season.. But I&#8217;m not sure yet if the black radishes will grow early, it&#8217;s a test, I hope they bred with other varieties I had sown as well that can germinate around 6-8°C, black radishes usually need higher soil temperatures to germinate.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10814.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10814-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3932" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10815.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.15_SDC10815-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3933" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.17: Start of the setup of the pyramid greenhouse, obviously made to sacred geometry proportions <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.17_SDC10819.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.17_SDC10819-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3934" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.17_SDC10821.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.17_SDC10821-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3935" /></a></p>
<p>2015.02.21-03.01: On the 21st I sowed red early radishes, onions and parsnips in the bin 7 (on the right), for parsnips I know from previous years it works fine. For onions and radishes, since they re-sow themselves alone when I let them go to seed, I think that if they are too early in the soil, they&#8217;ll also just wait to germinate at the right time! I still covered this bin until the 27th.<br />
Then on the first of march I sowed again red early radishes in teh bin 9 (on the left) and cress all over.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_03.01_SDC10851.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.02.21_03.01_SDC10851-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4027" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.05: I started my tomatoes, peppers (sweet and not) inside, I used seeds I bought (and that stayed under a pyramid for a year), but also seeds I harvested last year, the most robust and late ones.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.05_SDC10844.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.05_SDC10844-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4028" /></a></p>
<p>I did without knowing is, as Pascal Poot recommends for the choice of seeds, it seemed logical to me! The tomato that is and looks the nicest and resists the longest <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
But as it is written here: <a href="http://rue89.nouvelobs.com/2015/03/04/tomates-sans-eau-ni-pesticide-cette-methode-fascine-les-biologistes-257958" title="Tomates sans eau ni pesticide : cette méthode fascine les biologistes">Tomates sans eau ni pesticide : cette méthode fascine les biologistes</a> I didn&#8217;t know that it had to be done as described below to harvest the seeds.. I just washed them and let them dry, I hope it will be fine, else, well I&#8217;ll restart this year, that&#8217;s why I still sowed a lot of seeds that I bought.. I&#8217;m more focused on small/medium tomatoes, because the big ones don&#8217;t usually have enough time to ripen outdoor here in the north of france!</p>

<li style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> « Tomatoes, are special. When you open a tomato, the seeds are in a sort of gelatin, like the egg yolk.

<p>1-2 weeks earlier I had also planted 6 onions rocamboles in different places, in places where there are also mostly perennials.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.05_SDC10852.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.05_SDC10852-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4029" /></a></p>
<p>2015.03.09: I planted asparagus crowns, that were bought, it&#8217;s hard to start from the seed! There are 7 crowns in bin 1, one Violette Burgundine, 2 Super d&#8217;Argenteuil, 1 Verte Voltaire, 1 Prima and 2 Grolim. This bin is now full of perennials, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll add any more, the 2 Rhubarbs will make shadow for the asparagus, there&#8217;s also one lovage plant that should become quite big every year! And I won&#8217;t forget a Rocambole onion in the corner <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>2015.03.12: Bear&#8217;s garlic that I collected in a forest in Belgium last year around april/may accepted the invitation in the &#8220;woodlands&#8221; of our garden! It&#8217;s fabulous <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>I had a bit of troubles to differentiate at first from this Arum, I don&#8217;t know which variety for the moment&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.12_SDC10863.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.03.12_SDC10863-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4053" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.09: Not much happened during a month, the temperatures went up at the beginning of march, but then dropped again for the last 2-3 weeks of march, hence no opportunity to sow, the temperatures were between 0-10°C&#8230;</p>
<p>Global view, it&#8217;s quite at rest still! Notice the prunus trees, I&#8217;ve attached them together, I&#8217;ll let them fusion just out of curiosity <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>A good thing to remember, cress can germinate at such low temperatures, it germinates as quickly as SFP, MFP, DFP!<br />

<p>The radishes (commercial) that I sowed on the 21st of february are only starting to germinate a bit now. I had transplanted turnips from the greenhouse on the 13th of march in the bin 8, they are all almost dead, the cold was too cold and birds finished the job <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10892.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10892-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4188" /></a></p>
<p>I left these onions overwinter to start doing like with the radishes, I want my own rustic varieties re-sowing themselves on their own year by year! Onions are a good choice because they don&#8217;t take up much space. And look behind, the rustic radish much more advanced in its growth than the commercial ones!<br />

<p>And again other radishes.. It&#8217;s a good concept to have them as &#8220;weeds&#8221; in early spring! ANd it&#8217;s now been 3 years, they&#8217;re starting to be very robust, I leave all varieties mix up from year to year randomly.<br />

<p>The wild strawberries as usual flowering very early, the cold didn&#8217;t seem to bother them <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>I leave the strawberries alone, I don&#8217;t cut/trim etc. Because everyone does that, no one can tell me what happens if I let them be, I want to understand the natural cycle, here on the right, where it&#8217;s more developed, these are mostly the runners from last year that took root. On the left the strawberries were well implanted last year, I wan to see how it goes if I leave them on their own.<br />

<p>Sage is a great plant I recommend, not only can it withstand mild colds, it grows until January and doesn&#8217;t even lose its leaves, it&#8217;s somewhat like coniferous trees! Now it&#8217;s already budding..<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10898.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.09_SDC10898-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4193" /></a></p>
<p>2015.04.12: I planted potatoes I had kept from last year harvest. I learned from my mistakes (I hope <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  ), last year I had planted 50-70 plants per bin, it was way too much, this year I planted 30, 3 lines of 10. In the bins A, B and C, as shown on the schematic I re-used and completed from last year page.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.12_Plan.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.12_Plan-250x300.jpg" alt="2015.04.12_Plan" width="250" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4200" /></a></p>
<p>You can see the bin with the holes.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.12_SDC10900.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.12_SDC10900-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4201" /></a></p>
<p>Then I added peas rows in between the potatoes, the association seems great, the peas help fix nitrogen from the air, which helps the potatoes grow. I wanted to try that, because climbing peas are good, but if I can do without having to install the grids etc. for them to climb, it&#8217;s even better! I keep the seeds from the climbing ones for new experiments this year. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>Here I did the same, but in bin 5, which is a bit shorter (3m instead of 3.5m for A, B and C bins) hence I made 3 lines of 9 holes. And on top of the peas I also added black corn from seeds I kept from 2 years ago, I hope to be able to use them as support later in the year for climbing beans, but I don&#8217;t know if the corn will grow §being slower than potatoes) in between the shadow of the potatoes, I want to see if with the nitrogen fixed by the peas, even with the lack of sun if the corn can grow..<br />

<p>The varieties of potatoes I sowed are: &#8220;Salad blue&#8221; in bin A, &#8220;Kestrel 2nd early&#8221; in bin B, &#8220;Home guard 1st early&#8221; in bin C (I think, I&#8217;m not even sure&#8230;), and &#8220;Chéries&#8221; in bin 5.</p>
<p>An artichoke from last year that withstood the winter!<br />

<p>I&#8217;ll try to get and keep seeds from these plants, if they adapt to resist a bit more to the cold that&#8217;s a great thing!</p>
<p>2015.04.15: I planted potatoes, 3rd year in the same spot, I decided in the end (I didn&#8217;t have the same opinion last year) to see if the soil can still be good even without rotations&#8230; I did that in a very simple fashion, I just removed 2-3cm of soil to place the potatoes and also added 2-3cm of RCW. As we mow the lawn once in a while I&#8217;ll add the grass to &#8216;earth up&#8217; the potatoes.<br />

<p>Celeriacs from the greenhouse I pricked out, but they ended up being eaten. By slugs, birds? I don&#8217;t know, but I learned that I have to prick them out twice, once in a larger pot to let them harden and grow to resist the outside transplantation. I&#8217;ll need to equip myself with more adapted pots etc. next year! And small tunnels, of 3x1m to cover the bins individually when needed, but that was already in the plans. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>Wild radishes&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11000.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11000-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4286" /></a></p>
<p>In the mound at the back, that I won&#8217;t use to plant anymore (too much shadow), a parsnip still grew again, even with all the compost I added, the soil I disrupted a lot etc. Hence I&#8217;ll let that robust one grow to get the seeds!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11003.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11003-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4289" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11001.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.04.15_SDC11001-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4287" /></a></p>
<p>And just next to there, where parsnips grew in the previous years, they are growing back, so I&#8217;m leaving it to see what happens&#8230;<br />
Et à côté, là ou des panais poussaient l&#8217;année dernière, ils repoussent, donc je laisse faire pour voir..<br />

<p>I pricked out squashed (blue queen and turkish gourds), to see if they can resist, if it works I&#8217;ll have seeds from very robust plants, else&#8230;<br />

I made a video, but it&#8217;s my first try and I&#8217;m not yet great at it, hence this time I added photos as support, because sometimes I don&#8217;t film very well, it&#8217;s not stable&#8230; <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />

<p>Thanks to a friend, I got many cuttings of blueberries and currants (old ones, very robust), he also showed me a place where to harvest wild asparagus, bear leek colse to where I live. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" />  And cuttings of rosemary and thyme that can withstand the cold of the region!<br />

<p>Here&#8217;s the mix I used to water the plants, around 40 ml of colloidal silver (30ppm), 15g of manganese sulfate and 10ml of ormus. The sulfate to boost the growth, the silver for their health and ormus for a little bit of both.<br />
Re-diluted in about 50L, in watering cans.<br />

<p>The sage is getting quite big, the currants as well, making a good protection against the wind from north-west, to protect the rosemary and thyme I just planted behind.<br />

<p>I placed the tomatoes today, 3 are from seeds from last year, they grew with mildew, like with the potatoes the carried it with next generation! I already watered with colloidal silver before, today I watered with my mixture as well. That being said they&#8217;re robust, my seeds are the ones that grew the fastest!<br />

<p>And the Rhubarbs are well attacked! But as I said last year, I planted them in full sun knowing it&#8217;s not ideal&#8230; I count of them to make shadow for asparagus, which is not the normal logic&#8230; Usually rhubarbs are placed in shadowy zones!<br />

<p>I didn&#8217;t explain in the video, in bin 5, there&#8217;s also black corn with the peas and potatoes. The corn is in the rows with the peas. I want to test if it will grow fast enough to not be overgrown by the potatoes (and they die because it will be in their shadow), thanks to the nitrogen fixed by the peas&#8230; So as to be able to make the 3 sisters methods (planting the squash and climbing beans afterwards) once I&#8217;ve harvested the potatoes.<br />

I won&#8217;t add every video as an integrated video, because it will probably slow down the page too much!</p>
<p>This last month not much has changed, the potatoes look very healthy, no more signs of any disease. I focused more on the planing around, the new currants/blueberries hedge, I added mint, I covered the soil etc. But nothing special in the vegetable garden. I let everything grow freely, because it&#8217;s very hot and dry so it&#8217;s best for the soil to stay well covered by plants. To this day I don&#8217;t really know what I&#8217;ll do next, 3 bins are completely free to be used. I&#8217;m waiting for inspiration! Squashes for the season (not forced), climbing peas and beans. And other things to come, it&#8217;s still quite early in the season, in the end a lot of things are planted in the garden with mounds, so I don&#8217;t know what to do at home, I thinking about other lazy methods. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

Here&#8217;s the link to the video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5epByl8YCoc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5epByl8YCoc</a></p>
<p>Since last time, I&#8217;ve been inspired thanks to mother nature who decided to bring a little rain, which seems perfect to sow carrots, even if it&#8217;s a bit late compared to the norm, I noticed that each time i tried to sow carrots directly at the beginning of spring, it&#8217;s no good at all because slugs are really hungry and are looking for anything to eat. Since there aren&#8217;t many other plants at the beginning of spring, the sprouts of carrots are quite a treat for them! Now, the mole in my garden already ate a lot of slugs and some toads in the surroundings as well. It has been quite dry, slugs could not feed themselves much, hence not reproduce while these 2 predators ate them, hence there must not be a lot left, which seems perfect to sow carrots.<br />
Apart from that, as explained in the video description, cress is a fantastic plant to cover the soil while it isn&#8217;t being used for something else, it has very shallow roots which can be weeded out easily. And it grows as quickly as other wild plants, hence it can easily prevent them from growing if sowed on a naked soil right at the onset of spring.</p>

<p>As explained in the video, the mix peas/potatoes brought me a great little surprise, more pollination for the potato flowers. The addition of melliferous plants around the garden helps too, sages that are well set now and comfrey have flowers that attract a lot of insects (not just bees), I also let some wild herbs growing for their presence and their flowers that attract insects as well.<br />
The aphids (managed by ants) that were colonizing some of my plants greatly dimished, as i expected it and observed in the previous years, this colonization usually starts in spring and ends at the beginning of the summer.<br />
Btw. having ants herding too many aphids everywhere is a sign that the ecosystem is not yet well balanced, which I know is still the case. Thank you mother nature for the little reminder <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
Apart from that, 2 seeds of the same tomato variety, losetto (which were hybrids F1 when I bought them), cherry tomatoes, are growing very differently, one that was forcibly slowed down by slugs, is now growing in height, whereas the other one which wasn&#8217;t hindered still remains quite flat and rampant like it was last year.<br />
This year, on top of wild radishes, I&#8217;m letting onions become wild as well by resowing themselves on their own.<br />
I also explain a useful method to sow carrots, you have to cover them entirely, since they take 2-3 weeks to germinate, to prevent any other plants from growing.<br />
I&#8217;ll let you watch the video for the rest. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<p>And some more photos, because things are missing in the video!</p>
<p>In the aromatic plants corner. The commercial thyme and oregano are weak and can&#8217;t stand the actual climate. Where as the rustic thyme that I got from a friend, is thriving! In the middle there&#8217;s just rosemary that doesn&#8217;t seem to have survived the plantation, I put the branch as is in the soil&#8230; I&#8217;ll replant another stem later this year when it will be cooler, it&#8217;s also a rustic variety.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11153.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11153-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4503" /></a></p>
<p>The rocambole onion has its own little ecosystem, this plant developed around it on its own, it&#8217;s great, it protects the soil around the onion. If that plant doesn&#8217;t climb too much, I might let it cover the entire bin?<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11153a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11153a-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4504" /></a></p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t yet good at recognizing them, these are asparagus sprouts, I had forgotten that I had put two claws in there, since there&#8217;s space&#8230; Another one in under the sage and also making a sprout.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11154.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11154-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4505" /></a></p>
<p>Cross-breeding of leguminous plants, this Lucerne grew there on its own and as you can see there are black pods (normal) and green ones, in the green ones there are mini peas! I&#8217;ll keep these as seeds to resow next year to see what grows!<br />

<p>A closer view of the very big &#8216;radishes&#8217; seeds, that don&#8217;t seem to be radishes! To follow!<br />

<p>I didn&#8217;t show it in the video, inside the unfinished greenhouse, there are plants, that I have to water.. Because the automatic irrigation but rainwater collection on the sides of the greenhouse is not yet in place. These are squashes and cucumbers mostly, they are there in preparation to put them where the potatoes are growing now, straight after the harvest I&#8217;ll put them there to use the space of the garden as well as possible. They&#8217;ll be a bit delayed compared to the norm, but it&#8217;s fine for me.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11157.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11157-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4508" /></a></p>
<p>A parsnip going to seed in the compost heap, I hope it will be pollinated (auto pollination..), because it resisted to a lot of things, it must be quite rustic!<br />
Un panais dans le tas de compost qui part en fleur, vu qu&#8217;il n&#8217;y en a qu&#8217;un j&#8217;espère qu&#8217;il se fera polliniser, car il a resisté à tellement de choses, il doit avoir une bonne rusticité!<br />

<p>A squash that grew in the compost, it happens often, but this one is quite special, in this spot there is not sun, ever! Under the tree, on the north face of the compost mound! I&#8217;ll keep a close eye on it, I don&#8217;t even know what kind of squash it is&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11160.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11160-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4510" /></a></p>
<p>This is another part of the garden, where corn is starting to be big enough, I sowed climbing beans recently so that they&#8217;ll help the corn to grow better by fixing nitrogen, while using the corn to climb. And later I&#8217;ll add squashes at the foot of all those, when they&#8217;re all tall enough. The three sisters method&#8230; But I learned it over two years, you should not sow everything at the same time, first corn (here in april), then beans (mid-june), then squashes (mi-july). In our climate it&#8217;s not the same as in tropical or equatorial climates&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11161.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SDC11161-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4511" /></a></p>
<p>This year I sowed the climbing beans at the front of the house, to rotate the crops a bit and simply because it&#8217;s a good place. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
I couldn&#8217;t do it earlier, because there is a huge tree above, and I had sown non climbing peas and potatoes there behind already, if I had sown the climbing beans early as well, they would have made too much shadow for the plants behind..<br />

Here&#8217;s the link to the video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILuGNEr4TcQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILuGNEr4TcQ</a></p>
<p>Last year I planted the potatoes on the 2nd of May, this year on the 12th of April. Spring started earlier this year, but it was spread out longer, for example the cherry and currants in the garden were ripe approx. 2 weeks later than last year.<br />
Anyhow, this year, the potatoes were planted on the 12th of April, first harvests on the 17th of July (3 months and 5 days), last year they were planted on the 2nd of may and all harvested together on the 16th of august (3 months and 14 days). Depending on the variety, the next harvests this year should be in 1 to 3 weeks. Hence it&#8217;s approximately equal.<br />
However, there&#8217;s no comparison as far as the quality is concerned! I kept the small potatoes from last year for this year. Last year I planted them 20-30cm deep, it was way too deep, they lost time to come out and it wasn&#8217;t good for the potatoes, the soil at that depth bathed in water and non-decomposed compost, many were rotten at the harvest, as I said in the video. I had also planted 60 to 70 plants per bin, it&#8217;s way too much, many vegetated too much, I had many stems longer than 2m, because they were looking for some light!<br />
This year, it was great, the plants were robust and healthy, not too long, I could just have put a bit more per bin, I was scared of doing the same mistake as last year, hence I planted only 30 per bin, each bin is 3m² in size. I think that the ideal quantity is around 15 plants per m², hence 45 in a bin.<br />
This year I had peas on top of it!<br />
I harvest in total 2,5kg of shelled peas and around 2-3kg with shells. I planted them as support for the potatoes, as nitrogen fixers, I didn&#8217;t look forward to much in terms of harvest, hence these couple of additional kilos of peas is just fantastic! And even pea seeds! Next year I will do exactly the same, but with 45 potatoes per bin instead of 30.<br />
I had 12,5kg of potatoes for these first 3m², it&#8217;s within the standards, that being said, it almost never rained during two months! Taking into account that I never water, this harvest is great.<br />
On top of that, my most important goal, their genetic heritage improved again this year! I started with potatoes that rotted last year because they were too deep, the survivors of this &#8216;massacre&#8217; were replanted this year and withstood peacefully a drought. With optimal conditions, I&#8217;m faithful that with this improved genetic it will be even better. Moreover, the soil is becoming better year after year, I think that it will take around 5 years in total to get to the top of the top, soil and genetics. It&#8217;s just a matter of patience and letting nature adapt on its own terms. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
I started with commercial potatoes, I know very well that they are not used to support any and all climate conditions without human support, it takes a couple of generations for their genetic to re-become more rustic!<br />
Also, I never saw any disease or potato beetles, that&#8217;s also an important aspect, very healthy plants that can repel their predators on their own! When I see go every week on their potatoes to remove the beetles, or put some (even organic) treatments, I wonder why they can&#8217;t figure out that it&#8217;s because the soil is bad and/or that their plants have a bad genetic profile. Generally a plant with an average genetic will grow very well in a good soil, but in a bad soil, the good genetics will be required, or help as I do, a bit of colloidal silver, ormus, something to help the plant to have what it needs to defend itself on its own while mutating, the harvest might not be great, but what survived will have mutated to become more resistant!</p>

<p>As I said above, the harvests might not be that great and on the following two bins it was confirmed.<br />
2-3kg of blue/violet potatoes (1kg per m²), and 4-5kg of yellow potatoes (1.5kg par m²). That&#8217;s really small, but these varieties were not only commercial, but also ancient. The commercial varieties are trained to have good yields, the ancient varieties surely not, they must just be reproduced to have them available without much &#8216;training&#8217;.<br />
But, the potatoes look nice and I&#8217;m sure their genetics are getting better!<br />
These ones were also planted in a backfilled soil made this year, among other things with clay that looked somewhat blueish taken from a place in the garden where it hadn&#8217;t seen the sun for 15-20 years, it was not oxygenated (blueish clay is a sign of lack of oxygen).<br />
Work to continue in the following years! <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

<p>There isn&#8217;t much more to say than what&#8217;s already in the video description. <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>
<blockquote><p>Small update to keep you updated. Not much has happened since last month, the rodent activity is under control and the delayed squashes are now growing well, let&#8217;s hope the season will allow them to finish ripening <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
One obvious observation is that plants allowed to grow on their own terms produce more flowers and hence seeds! As should be the case in a natural environment where plants want to give the best chances to carry on to their offspring <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p></blockquote>

One thing I didn&#8217;t mention in the video, I had cross-breeds between wild alfalfa plants and green peas earlier this year (I noticed it because the pea pods were opening in a spirally kind of way). That&#8217;s really great because at this time of the year the alfalfa plants are still totally green and growing, that&#8217;s a good thing if I can get peas (the cross between peas and alfalfa) that can grow well that late in the season! I love peas <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /><br />
And as I finished the video on it, slow growing corn left standing in the winter seems to be a great treat for small birds!<br />

<p>The end of autumn is nearing, with the first frosts. The names I was looking for in the video, was shallots and also lilies of the valley and hyacinths. These are flowers that have a toxic bulb or completely toxic. When I said I planted shallots and garlic, I meant fully grown ones. Always with the aim that rodents that end up biting such things get disgusted and that most of them find the safe spot I&#8217;ve made for them.<br />
I forgot in the video, the onions I let go to seed this year are also starting to grow randomly all over the place, great <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2013 we were already given the opportunity to use a part of this field to plant whatever we wanted, since we had great successes, they gave us a larger part of the field this year. Thus we tried a bit of something else. To do it with some mechanization, a friend of my friend came with his machine to dig tranches, to place the potatoes as they usually do and then mound it up.</p>
<p>We planted on the 8th of may 2015.</p>
<p>2014.05.14:<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.05.14-SDC10125.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.05.14-SDC10125-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.05.14 - SDC10125" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3871" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.05.14-SDC10126.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.05.14-SDC10126-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.05.14 - SDC10126" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3872" /></a></p>
<p>2014.06.08:<br />
We covered in between the mounds with straw, also sowing peas, beans, alfalfa (and carrots, but that&#8217;s useless, they never had time to grow, too much shadow, too quickly). All these plants, apart from the carrots, are nitrogen fixing plants. To help the potatoes, because the people letting us use the field still want to plow (old habits are hard to get rid of, even if they&#8217;re absurd!), thus we are obliged to try and make the soil better with other plants, it&#8217;s the only option, adding RCW doesn&#8217;t help either, the owners don&#8217;t want wood and even if they allowed it, we know it would end up underground next year, which is not in the natural order of things. Anyhow with have to work with some constrains!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10007.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10007-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.06.08 - SDC10007" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3873" /></a></p>
<p>Beans, alfalfa, peas and mostly chenopods .<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10009.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10009-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.06.08 - SDC10009" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3874" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10011.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10011-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.06.08 - SDC10011" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3875" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10012.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10012-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.06.08 - SDC10012" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3876" /></a></p>
<p>Carrots grew, but never finished! At least there&#8217;s something &#8220;practical&#8221; about this soil for carrots at the beginning, since it&#8217;s dead&#8230; there are almost no insects, no slugs, nothing to eat the small carrot seedlings.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10013.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.06.08-SDC10013-300x225.jpg" alt="2014.06.08 - SDC10013" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3877" /></a></p>
<p>2014.07.04:<br />
That&#8217;s what we didn&#8217;t expect! Here&#8217;s the big mistake of the year, or lesson whichever way you see it <img src="https://www.bargainorgonite.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" style="width:15px;height:15px;max-width:15px;max-height:15px;" width="15" height="15" /> , don&#8217;t ever make half strawed spots with non covered areas. As I read in a book (Les plantes bio-indicatrices from Gérard Ducerf) that I got after we started this field, it was pretty clear, chenopods have a tendency to grow in places with large hydric contrasts. Here, dry mounds, with humid strawed paths, obviously chenopods are going to grow all along the mounds! It was slowly asphyxiating the potatoes, we let it continue until it was no longer possible.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.04-SDC10140.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.04-SDC10140-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3878" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.04-SDC10141.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.04-SDC10141-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3879" /></a></p>
<p>2014.07.25:<br />
Here&#8217;s the less strawed side, thus less hydric contrast, hence less chenopods, but in the background you can see the mess, 1m tall chenopods everywhere!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.25-SDC10254.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.25-SDC10254-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3880" /></a></p>
<p>2014.07.26-08.01:<br />
I weeded almost everything by hand, without pulling anything out, to not bother the potatoes roots. It&#8217;s quite a long task hehe<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10279.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10279-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3881" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10280.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10280-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3882" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10281.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.07.26-SDC10281-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3883" /></a></p>
<p>2014.08.01: The potatoes that were surrounded by the most (and tallest) chenopods suffered the most.<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10299.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10299-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3884" /></a> <a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10300.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10300-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3885" /></a></p>
<p>There where there was less straw and hence less chenopods, the potatoes were more healthy!<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10301.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.01-SDC10301-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3886" /></a></p>
<p>2014.08.06:<br />
And that&#8217;s what happens when someone that wasn&#8217;t invited tries to help in, I don&#8217;t know who did that, I gusee thinking it would help, but pulling out the chenopods is of no help, it disturbed all the roots of the potatoes nearby, which all died as a result! It&#8217;s hard to explain something to the ancients, it&#8217;s not because a method has been used for 100 years, that it means it&#8217;s any good, the only sure thing it means is that people repeated it mindlessly&#8230;<br />
<a class="shutterset" href="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.06-SDC10323.jpg"><img loading="lazy" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2014.08.06-SDC10323-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3887" /></a></p>
<p>I was on holidays during the harvests (end of august), it wasn&#8217;t that great, about 400kg (for about 300m²&#8230;, last year we had 200kg on 30m²!), quite small potatoes, many with a small taste of chlorine.. But it was a great experience, 15 people came for the harvest, it was all done by hand, everyone went home with a bag of 20-25kg and the small potatoes were kept as seeds for next year.</p>
<p>For 2015 the same method will be used, but as in 2013, we&#8217;ll straw everything (with a lot of straw!), not just between mounds. Maybe there won&#8217;t even be any mounds, just potatoes placed on the ground and covered with straw, with peas, beans, alfalfa etc. obviously! But I&#8217;m not the one who takes all the decisions. We&#8217;ll see if we get the field already, since we got a bad harvest. For us it was just a try, to learn you&#8217;ve got to fail sometimes, but I have no idea if the ones who lent us the field see it that way.</p>
