Apparently writing a woo woo book is the same as scientific research.

Tree Hugging Now Scientifically Validated
Last edited Wed May 15, 2013, 01:07 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Die hard conservatives love to disparage liberals as tree huggers, but it has been recently scientifically validated that hugging trees is actually good for you. Research has shown that you don't even have to touch a tree to get better, you just need to be within its vicinity has a beneficial effect.
In a recently published book, Blinded by Science, the author Matthew Silverstone, proves scientifically that trees do in fact improve many health issues such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), concentration levels, reaction times, depression and other forms of mental illness. He even points to research indicating a tree's ability to alleviate headaches in humans seeking relief by communing with trees.
The author points to a number of studies that have shown that children show significant psychological and physiological improvement in terms of their health and well being when they interact with plants and trees. Specifically, the research indicates that children function better cognitively and emotionally in green environments and have more creative play in green areas. Also, he quotes a major public health report that investigated the association between green spaces and mental health concluded that "access to nature can significantly contribute to our mental capital and wellbeing".
So what is it about nature that can have these significant effects? Up until now it has been thought to be the open green spaces that cause this effect. However, Matthew Silverstone, shows that it is nothing to do with this by proving scientifically that it is the vibrational properties of trees and plants that give us the health benefits and not the open green spaces.

Watch this 15-minute video of a beautiful demonstration singing plants while one of Damanhur’s researchers explain the phenomenon.
Video of singing plants hooked up to electronics. They are intelligent, telepathic beings. video at link. I'll let you click the video and kiss your mind goodbye if you wish.

Now these DUmmies are the same people who despise Christians and Jews. But they replace faith with insanity?
Why am I not surprised?

I don't know. Back before we had Xboxes and stuff, kids climbed trees for recreation and fun. Maybe the DUmmies are onto something? Stopped clock and all that.
Or, maybe people just need to wear more hats.

If you were to also count the small trees and sprouts, I've probably pushed up and killed well over a million trees in my life time......and I never heard them singing.....no I never heard them at all.
The forest is full of damn nuts....the 2 legged kind.

This is why lawn mowers are so loud.
So you can't hear the blades of grass screaming.

That first video with the singing plants...I think all the electronics are just a show and they are playing a real new age soundtrack

Maybe just maybe people benefit from being near to a source of oxygen without all the other pollutants.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Thundley. I'm not going so far as to say it'll cure all the stuff in the loony OP, but fresh air will do a body good. Step away from all the gadgetry once in a while.

Matthew Silverstone has a degree in economics and a masters degree in international business. I guess that qualifies him to do scientific evaluation of the health related effects of trees

Probably twenty-twelve times the testosterone, and general manliness, too.
