RE: "All the world's problems can be solved in a garden" (pond) 🌀

Your pond - truly amazing - 25 years ago, my husband and I dug a 10 by 12 foot pond. Three years ago, we got sick of the pumps and filters (and pond plants) failing to deter the algae, so we downsized the pond to less than half that size. To no avail. The algae still grows out of control. Nobody would sit in this pond.

Thought of you this morning upon reading about a book I'm certain you've read (published 1985).

The Body Electric by Robert Becker

You had read The Secret Life of Plants long before I ever heard of it.

Certain words, especially #frequency and radio waves and #silver, popping up wherever I look.

...... Becker reports using silver electrodes in his experimental electrotherapy to stave off amputation ... He finds that electrified silver is “especially well suited for use against several kinds of bacteria simultaneously. It kills even antibiotic-resistant strains.” (p 167).

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)

FSM uses extremely low amperage current—measured in microamps, about 1/1000th of what you’d find in TENS units—combined with specific frequencies that appear to resonate with particular tissues and conditions in the body.
For example, certain frequencies can target inflammation in nerves, while others address scarring in fascia. This precision targeting allows us to treat conditions that were previously difficult to address, from chronic pain and neuropathy to visceral conditions. The current increases ATP production in cells by up to 500%, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
What makes FSM truly unique is its specificity—using two channels, one targeting the condition (like inflammation) and one targeting the tissue (like a nerve), creating an extraordinary therapeutic effect that’s both gentle and powerful.

Down the rabbit hole I go!

"In the early 1900s, frequency therapies were widely used by physicians across the US, UK, and Germany. Thousands of doctors embraced these approaches until 1934, when everything changed with the Flexner Report. By 1927, medicine had narrowed its focus to drugs and surgery only, and frequency therapies were essentially outlawed.

"The story of how FSM returned to clinical practice is almost accidental. In 1946, an osteopath and naturopath named Harry VanGelder bought a practice in Canada that came with an unusual device made in 1922 and a list of frequencies. In 1983, George Douglas, who worked with VanGelder, brought home a copy of that frequency list and tucked it away in a drawer.

"It wasn’t until 1995 that Douglas found the list again and suggested we try using these frequencies with a two-channel microcurrent device. I spent 1995 and 1996 treating muscle and nerve pain, conducting blinded treatments to ensure safety and efficacy. When I first taught this method in January 1997, I wanted to determine if the results were placebo or real. By June, it was clear – the benefits were reproducible and teachable.

"What makes this story remarkable is that we’re using modern technology to access therapeutic approaches that were nearly lost to history. The 1920s equipment wasn’t microcurrent, and the therapy wasn’t FSM as we know it today. But by combining those early frequencies with modern microcurrent devices that increase ATP production by 500%, we’ve created something that’s changing medicine."
