Fertilizer

What are the karmic and nutritional effects of using chemical versus organic fertilizers?

Hilarion: The essential thing to understand is that growing things do do not require any fertilizers at all, either organic or chemical, when the principles of crop rotation and biological transmutations of the elements are put into effect. 

One of the main reasons why man loads his fields with fertilizers of various kinds is that he fails to understand that all biologial life- forms, whether animal or plant, have the ability to transmute the chemical elements they receive into the chemical elements they need. This ability is not unlimited, of course. 

The enzymes which accomplish this transmutation are provided to the various species to enable them to carry out the right transmutations which they require, but not those which they do not require. 

Investigations in France have shown that virtually all life forms have this transmutative ability and that this factor explains why crop
rotation allows the soil to replenish itself with the minerals that it requires. Cows give in their milk many times as much calcium as they ingest, and yet they are never short of calcium. From where does the extra come? Enzymes in the cow's stomach allow other elements to be changed into calcium in great quantity. 

To return to the origninal question, if one must use fertilizers at all the organic ones are superior to those manufactuared chemically. There are no karmic effects of using the one in preference to the other, aside from that arising from simple cause and effect. 

As to the nutritional results of using either kind of fertilizer, we find that the organic method tends to produce a more abundant supply of essential minerals and vitamins in the food. However, as we have pointed out, the ability to transmute elements in large measure shields not only the animals but man too, from the risks of insufficient nutrition, provided a basic quantity of carbohydrates can be ingested, and provided the metabolism has not been damaged through incorrect diet in the past.

Biological Transmutations

Book by Corentin Louis Kervran

Biological Transmutations by C. Louis Kervran is a book that presents his theory that elements can change into other elements within living organisms through low-energy nuclear reactions, challenging conventional physics. The book, originally published in French, explores applications in medicine, agriculture, and nutrition, suggesting natural solutions for diseases and food production by utilizing these "biological transmutations". It's written for a broad audience, including scholars, laypeople, and students, and has been translated and published in English by various presses, including the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation and Beekman Publishers.
