""Once in a while you find a book that stuns you. Its scope leaves you breathless. This is such a book."" — John White, San Francisco Chronicle

Nearly every sentence is a profound revelation and/or confirmation of things which you fundamentally recognize and know are true and accurate.

Oh, and The Man does Not want you to know any of it. After 170+ years of irrefutable scientific evidences and confirmations, it has all been harshly, continually, systematically, and conspiratorially suppressed and undermined by the conventional, ruling "science" establishments.

Why? All Truth has many powerful enemies.
But, you already know that.

Set yourself free. Listen to this book.

The book was very interesting, sharing a vast amount of studies done on the unexpected characteristics, communication, and properties of plants. Not having looked into the book much prior to listening to it, I was surprised that there was so much on the realm of the esoteric. Definitely changes your perspective on plants!

The only drawback was that the person who recorded the audio for the book had a really hard time reading names, locations, and titles in foreign languages. These showed up quite a bit and it was distracting. It was otherwise great.

Very interesting, though a little heavy

This book was all over the place. It was a look into the scientific study of plants and energy. It started out looking into looking into experiments to evaluate how plants reacted to different stimulants based on wires and meters hooked up to plants. It ventured into other areas including angstrom reading of plants, people, foods and water. It was interesting to see how they uncovered the water with supposed healing power had much higher Angstrom counts than normal waters, health people also had higher readings. The ideas expressed in these type books seem to always have that initial perception of hocus pocus, but usually have facts and studies to backup their strange point of view.

Hocus pocus or science?

every topic covered on plants was either fascinating and astounding ; I felt like I was bring introduced to Life in another planet, and saw common plants around in a totally new light and perspective. I actually feel more connected now with Nature!
