A Well Provides Clean #DrinkingWater

by Annette Reid

If you're building or developing far away from an established water system, you may be considering piping water to your location. Piping can be a very expensive process. The labor and time it takes to dig trenches and lay down pipe can be immense, depending on the length of your potential pipe. During piping, you may get water that is treated with chemicals, and you might also lose water pressure as the water you're getting is further away from its source. You may find piping water to your area is simply not feasible based on cost constraints.

It sometimes is much more affordable to drill your own well. It is very easy to drill for a well in moist climates. If you live near any kind of a watershed, you can drill for a well almost anywhere you need. The result of this drilling with a proper and modern well equipped will give you the quality and purity of water that is pumped directly from the ground. When water is pumped from the ground, you'll find yourself laughing at the taste of natural spring bottled water. People who get their drinking water from an artisan well typically complain about the taste of bottled water, as the water has come into long-term contact with the plastic it is bottled in. American spends well over 1 billion dollars of bottled water a year. This is almost laughable when you realize that you could be pouring clean, pure spring water right from your own tap.

If you are considering drilling in a dry and arid climate, you might want to do some homework. By reaching out to a helpful company like Lone Star Water, you could be put in touch with a specialist who can tell you where you are likely to find water. Knowing where the water is coming from is an important first step to any building or development plan. After all, our bodies are made of mostly water, and nobody wants to be far away from a water source, particularly a source of clean and pure drinking water. To guarantee the quality of your water, you should have someone test the quality of it thoroughly. In an age when commercial and industrial waste has crept into our groundwater, it's important that your potential drinking water is carefully tested for toxicity and radiation in a lab. When it comes to the water you're drinking, it's vital to ensure that the water you're consuming is potable and safe for all people.

If you're not familiar with drilling for a well on your property, and don't have the right kind of gear to do so, reach out to a company like Lone Star Water. A company that has been drilling for wells for decades will be happy to consult with you and find a solution that meets your water need. As we all know, the first necessities that need to be taken care of are food, clothing, shelter, and most importantly, water.

Indigo Testing

By Dr. Janine Talty, DO

As the Indigo adults begin to identify themselves based on lists of characteristics found on the Internet and in some printed texts, where can they go to get validation for their suppositions? Who can they ask? How can they verify beyond a reasonable doubt if in fact they qualify to fit in this very narrow classification? Most have felt so ostracized by societal norms, how dare they actually consider they might finally fit into a recognized category. And most importantly, where can they go to find others of the same persuasion?

Finding a test to verify my supposition that I was an Indigo person became both my passion and biggest frustration when I came to suspect that I might be one of these people. How could I truly know for certain? In the metaphysical literature many were repeating a statement that was originally made by Drunvalo Melchizedek that people of this persuasion had upgraded DNA that explained their supernatural traits and abilities. He said these new beings had 26 base pairs of the DNA in the "on" position versus the usual 24 of normal people. As a physician I took his statement to heart but need to scientifically verify it before I could repeat it and perhaps find a simple blood test to test for it. I followed this lead all the way to the Human Genome Project that has been researching DNA characteristics since 1990 in an attempt to identify the 20,000 to 25,000 genes in human DNA but also to determine the sequence of the 3 billion base pairs that make it up. If anyone could verify these statements, they certainly seem capable I thought. I spoke to three different geneticists who had no idea what I was referring to. They needed to know which specific gene I was describing. Not having that specific information my only lead crumbled.

It wasn't until I met Dr. Richard Boylan who has been researching what he calls the Star Kids and Star Seeds for nearly 25 years when I found my conformational tests. He developed a 54 question questionnaire along with a technique using dowsing rods that measures the individual's bio-electromagnetic-photic field. Both combined give a high correlation of accuracy. The technology of dowsing for underground water or buried electrical lines is well accepted. Using the dowsing rods to measure the size and distance of the body's bio-electromagnetic-photic field is not so well known, but very accurate with if performed by a skilled dowser. The questionnaire can be found either on his website; under "star kids questionnaire" at drboylan.com, or in my recently published book Indigo Awakening; A Doctor's Memoir Of Forging An Authentic Life In A Turbulent World.

Dowsing can be easily learned by taking either two pieces of metal wire from a coat hanger or copper wire bent at a 90 degree angle, holding them lightly between your bent index finger and thumb pointed at the individual and simply ask the rods to show you a "yes" (they will separate out laterally) or a "no" (they will come together and cross). Concentration with intension is imperative for this exercise. If your grip is too tight they will not be free to move so it is always more accurate to place the portion of the wire you are holding in drinking straws so they move more freely. Once you have become proficient at communicating with your rods, stand at least 30 feet from the person you are attempting to measure and walk slowly toward them all the while asking the rods to show you the outermost margin of the person's electromagnetic field. When the rods separate to the outside is where you begin your counting the distance away from the individual.

According to Dr. Boylan, a "regular USDA human's" electromagnetic field can be measured 18" - 20" off the body. A Star Kid or Star Seed (Indigo; Blue Ray) is three meters (6 feet) and above. The largest field he has ever measured was an Italian young man at 54 feet. In my practice of physically "derailed" Indigo adults, I commonly find 15 to 22 feet.

#Dowsing: The Pseudoscience of #WaterWitching

by Benjamin Radford, Live Science Contributor | May 17, 2013 05:58pm ET A forked twig is the most common form of a dowsing, or divining, rod.Credit: Grandpa | Shutterstock

Dowsing is an unexplained process in which people use a forked twig or wire to find missing and hidden objects. Dowsing, also known as divining and doodle bugging, is often used to search for water or missing jewelry, but it is also often employed in other applications including ghost hunting, crop circles and fortunetelling.

The dowsing that most people are familiar with is water dowsing, or water witching or rhabdomancy, in which a person holds a Y-shaped branch (or two L-shaped wire rods) and walks around until they feel a pull on the branch, or the wire rods cross, at which point water is allegedly below. Sometimes a pendulum is used held over a map until it swings (or stops swinging) over a spot where the desired object may be found. Dowsing is said to find anything and everything, including missing persons, buried pipes, oil deposits and even archaeological ruins.

They got it wrong

Part of the reason for dowsing's longevity is its versatility in the New Age and paranormal worlds. According to many books and dowsing experts, the practice has a robust history and its success has been known for centuries. For example in the book "Divining the Future: Prognostication From Astrology to Zoomancy," Eva Shaw writes, "In 1556, 'De Re Metallica,' a book on metallurgy and mining written by George [sic] Agricola, discussed dowsing as an acceptable method of locating rich mineral sources." This reference to 'De Re Metallica' is widely cited among dowsers as proof of its validity, though there are two problems.

The first is that the argument is a transparent example of a logical fallacy called the "appeal to tradition" ("it must work because people have done it for centuries"); just because a practice has endured for hundreds of years does not mean it is valid. For nearly 2,000 years, for example, physicians practiced bloodletting, believing that balancing non-existent bodily humors would restore health to sick patients.

Furthermore, it seems that the dowsing advocates didn't actually read the book because it says exactly the opposite of what they claim: Instead of endorsing dowsing, Agricola states that those seeking minerals "should not make use of an enchanted twig, because if he is prudent and skilled in the natural signs, he understands that a forked stick is of no use to him."

If dowsing could be proven to work, what could the mechanism be? How could a twig or two metal wires know what the dowser is looking for (water, money, minerals, a lost item, etc.), much less where it could be found? The proposed mechanisms are as varied as the dowsers themselves. Some sources claim that strong psychic energy is radiated by the object and detected by the dowser; others believe that ghosts, spirits or mysterious Earth energies direct the dowser to their targets.

Dowsing: No better than chance Skeptic James Randi in his "Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural," notes that dowsers often cannot agree on even the basics of their profession: "Some instructions tell learners never to try dowsing with rubber footwear, while others insist that it helps immeasurably. Some practitioners say that when divining rods cross, that specifically indicates water; others say that water makes the rods diverge to 180 degrees."

Though some people swear by dowsing's effectiveness, dowsers have been subjected to many tests over the years and have performed no better than chance under controlled conditions. It's not surprising that water can often be found with dowsing rods, since if you dig deep enough you'll find water just about anywhere. If missing objects (and even missing people) could be reliably and accurately located using dowsing techniques, it would be a great benefit: If you lose your keys or cell phone, you should be able to just pull out your pendulum and find it; if a person goes missing or is abducted, police should be able to locate them with dowsing rods.

Science differs from the New Age and paranormal belief in that it progresses, correcting and building on itself. Technology and medicine are continually advancing and refining. Designs and techniques are improved or abandoned depending on how well they work. By contrast, dowsers have not gotten any more accurate over centuries and millennia of practice.
