Utilizing Lava-Basalt Dust in Belgium
Utilizing Lava-Basalt Dust in Belgium
See new article on water purification and lava/lava-basalt dust by Marc Daelemans.
Marc Daelemans, our international coordinator for Remineralize the Earth in Belgium, has been making great strides recently. At a recent symposium at the Hosteenbron in Zonhoven, he spoke to 70 people about his experiences using lava-basalt dust, which was followed by an article in the newspaper Het Belang van Limburg. He recently collaborated with Jeroen Watté on an article for the professional journal Wervelkrant called Agroforestry - Rock dust ...

Research on Saving California Oaks
Research on Saving California Oaks
Lee K. KlingerP.O. Box 644, Big Sur, California 93920
ABSTRACT
Pathologists investigating the recent death of many oak trees in northern California have concluded that the problem is due to a new plant disease, dubbed sudden oak death (SOD), caused by the fungal pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. While not disputing that P. ramorum is involved in the final demise of many oaks, there are a growing numberof experts who do not agree that this pathogen is the fundamental cause of the decline. They point out that most of the dying oaks in ...

ABSTRACT
In many parts of the world food security is at risk. One of the biophysical root causes of falling per-capita food production is the declining quality and quantity of soils. To reverse this trend and increase soil fertility soil and plant nutrients have to be replenished. This review ...
Remineralize the Earth Embarks on a Research Project at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
By Dan Kittredge
Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st the nutrient density in our food crops has been consistently declining. USDA studies show that an average apple from the 1960's had 5 times the nutrition of that same apple produced today. This is an average of course, and there are many farms who have figured out how to produce high nutrient density crops even while the national average has been plummeting.

Water purification and lava/lava-basalt dust!
More than 60 years ago, prominent German scientists, under the guidance of Dr. K. Seidel, rediscovered the self-cleansing process of natural rivers, streams, and waterways.
Botanical sewage purification, a natural process, is an outgrowth from classical land treatment of wastewater. Today, this classical method of application to land has been updated and serves as an ideal, natural way to purify human, animal, and industrial sewage. It also has the potential to clean rainwater, reservoirs, and groundwater. The system consists of shallow basins connected by pipes. The ...
Real Food Campaign at Whole Foods Markets
For Release after October 1, 2007
Remineralize the Earth (www.remineralize.org), an international environmental nonprofit organization based in Northampton, Massachusetts, is working together with two Whole Foods Market stores in Massachusetts in October to raise funds for its new Real Food campaign.
The Real Food campaign will be launched in the coming months. It is focused on educating and networking farmers, agronomists, policy makers, supermarkets and consumers about remineralized, nutrient dense foods that are high in minerals and trace elements.
Currently most ...
Saving Dying Oaks in California
Hearst Castle Study
Scientist Lee Klinger has initiated Sudden Oak Life, a movement to put forth a more global, systems approach in understanding and solving the tree decline problem in California and elsewhere focusing on boosting the fertility of the soils with natural, mineral-rich fertilizers so that the trees are healthier and better able to survive attacks by diseases and pests.

RTE Fundraiser to Launch Real Food Campaign
RTE Fundraiser to Launch Real Food Campaign
RTE is working together with two Whole Foods Market stores in Massachusetts in October to raise funds for its new Real Food campaign.
Joanna Campe and Dan Kittredge of RTE will have a booth at the Acres USA Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, from December 6-8, 2007. The Real Food campaign will be seeking to increase the demand and facilitate the supply of nutrient dense foods. We are coordinating farmers, farm co-operatives, retailers, consumers, mineral suppliers, and agronomists.
