Here is a different topic altogether and one I have found in all the homoeopathic literature very few references.

Anton Jayasurya has one description of the use of remedies on plants. Margerie Blackie, former physician to the British Royal family has two references. O.A.Julian mentions one in his 'Micro-immuno-therapy' and I have seen that Von Boenninghausen is the only one who did extensive experiments on plants, which he intended to publish, but which have never seen the light of day.

Over the last 10 years I have done extensive research in this field and at present a book on the subject, describing over 70 remedies for use on plants, is with B.Jain publishers in New Delhi, awaiting publication.

I have found here and there on the net some info from people who have seen reactions when they threw out left-overs of a dose on their potplants. has any of you ever seen reactions like that on plants, when throwing out a glass of water, mixed with a remedy, after taking a spoonful dose?

Is anyone interested in doing provings with remedies on plants, so that a future edition of my book can be extended? I will mention all my sources.

I am in contact with a firm in Germany who have a lot of Von Boenninghausen's material, to find if the manuscript is among it. Also, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC has material of VB. and I have asked them as well. I feel this is very important for homoeopathy, as it can replace the poisons momentarily in use and give us clean food, while at the same time reduce the burden on the physician.

Some may call this idea fantasy, but 10 years of research cannot be discounted. It is very effective - a single dose lasts the lifetime of the annual or biennual plant, while the trees dop not need more than once a year.
