Tuning in to Nature

Plants with strong immune systems are not attacked by insects...

To me this is a wonderful book. The essence of it is about Callahans deep research into how insects are communicating on the infrared band of frequencies, how they can "read" the plants from a "birds perspective", choosing those plants to feed on, which are weak because those plants have a weaker infrared emission. This, to me, implies a totally new consept and knowledge on insect/plant relationships, and points to a whole new way of understanding the socalled "insect problem", which, in fact, really is no "problem" at all. We just have to give our plant produce the optimum conditions to grow strong and healthy, which in my view implies the application of "stone meals" or rock dust or unrefined sea salts, or deluted sea water. When all minerals (especially the trace minerals!) are present in the soil, plants will have a better immune system and thereby repell attacks from insects. I think Philip Callahan's research ties very well into the theses of John Hamaker, who wrote the book "The Survival of Civilization" in 1982, focusing on mineral deficiencies in soils all over the world.
