therapy is in diet, and so patients:are fed on organic Sonic Bloom- treated produce. The highest nutritional values of such food is believed to assist greatly in the cure of cancer when combined with other treatments. There were other crop successes which we wanted to cover, too; however, many people were not willing to share their experiences. Sadly, there are growers out there who are having tremendous suc- cesses with the method but are reluctant to share their findings for fear of losing what they see as a marketing edge. Factors like ear- lier maturity, higher nutritional content, superior taste and substan- tial yield increases can make a huge financial difference to any grower. We initially thought that word of mouth amongst growers would be our best advertising, but the reality is that growers are fiercely competitive and many wish to keep their secrets to them- selves for as long as possible. However, I feel that everybody would benefit from more grow- ers using Sonic Bloom. The overall quality and image of fruit and vegetables could be raised to such an extent that customers would buy and eat much more than they currently do. How many cus- tomers spend good money on fruit and vegetables at the supermar- ket, only to find to their dismay that the produce is in poor condi- tion or tastes terrible? With exported fruit and vegetables, of course, every grower would win by using Sonic Bloom because the standard of Australian and NZ produce would be raised to such a degree that other countries would actively seek out every- thing we could produce, and pay a premium for it. 1 A commercial-size Sonic Bloom sound unit, set up at Caboolture, south-east Queensland, Australia. there we visited a pawpaw farm and palm nursery all rolled into one, with an absolutely majestic setting of exotic palm trees, mountains in the background, and a kilometre of lake frontage. Pawpaw harvesting had only just begun, but early indications sug- gested a 20 per cent yield increase and better taste. For a pawpaw grower, a 20 per cent increase is very significant, especially when you are already the top-producing grower. We suspect that with continued use of Sonic Bloom, these yields will increase even more next season. The palm nursery was impressive, and the exciting news from the seed room was that some varieties of palm seeds, which can take six months to germinate, have been germinated with Sonic Bloom in as little as three-and-a-half months. We are encouraging the owners to treat the parent trees from which they gather the seeds. This will not only result in more seeds, but those seeds should result in superior seedlings. If overseas experience is any- thing to go by, the seeds will germinate and grow faster and become better specimens than their parents. For me, the Queensland tour ended with Laurie, a macadamia nut grower, who, despite no irrigation and a five-month drought during the crucial growing period, ended up with a crop instead of nothing at all. In these harsh conditions, macadamia trees would normally abort their fruit. We can hardly wait to see the effects of Sonic Bloom on his trees next season when the carry-over benefits from this year and the full spray program next year should see Laurie with a dramatic yield increase. As in the overseas experi- ence, we expect his trees to set 20 or more nuts per raceme instead of just a few. The financial gains to be had here are astounding. There were a host of other successes which we would have foved to film, such as the two-year-old pine-tree trial in southern NSW by Des Priestly, a tree nursery and land owner as well as respected authority on forestry. The Sonic Bloom-treated trees attained almost double the height of the untreated trees after only four sprays of the nutrient. (The treated trees still got the benefit of the sound, of course, but it is impossible to run a trial of this Nature and separate the sound.) The implications of this sort of rapid growth for reforestating the planet are enormous. I know of no other way in which we can quickly replace the thousands of square miles of rainforest which are indeed the lungs of our planet and are being ripped out at a frightening rate. Bruce Loveday, a Queensland mango grower, produced his best crop ever last season despite a crippling drought. Bruce experi- enced a marvellous crop increase and exceptionally sweet fruit. "I normally apply 730 litres of water per tree per week during the growing season, but this year I was only able to supply them with 70 litres per week, with none at all some weeks.” The hidden fac- tor, Bruce believes, is the Sonic Bloom. "A couple of old blokes who are mango freaks said my fruit was the best they had ever tasted," Time prevented us from filming the South Australian medicinal herb growers who are reporting significant increases in nutritional values of Sonic Bloom-treated plants, One grower makes one of the anti-cancer medicines using the kernel of the black walnut and wormwood. This remedy featured in an earlier issue of NEXUS Magazine [see vol 2, no. 22]. The grower claims that the extract from the nuts of Sonic Bloom-treated trees is a rich, thick, dark- coloured liquid, quite different from the normal thin pale brown extract derived from trees not treated with the process. He has analysed the extract and discovered that the treated extract is four times more potent! This means that he now requires one quarter less of this hard-to-get extract when combining it with the other ingredients which make up this remedy. In South Australia there is a cancer clinic in which part of the Bee one PM AR ALR OEE, | NEXUS © .27 DECEMBER 1995 - JANUARY 1996
