_	Dowsing and the Effects of Earth Radiation

This article was compiled from the book Earthrays-The Silent 
Killer? by Harold Triste, herbalist and herb grower.


Geopathogenic: a term derived from geo, the earth, and 
pathogenic, to create illness, is the term used by science 
for these radiation zones.  Under this umbrella term, there 
are various theories, for instance, magna rays, scatter 
rays, Earth faults, curry nets, Earth magnetic fields, 
cosmic energy shadows, etc.  Best known is the water vein 
radiation.

Earth radiation causes a state of tension in the living 
organism which results in short-term improvements of 
performance but long-term exposure, particularly during 
sleep, results in a debilitating geopathogenic influence.

Earth radiation disturbs and interferes with the normal 
interaction between the hormonal and nervous system.  The 
interplay of glands, hormones and nerves may, depending on 
the intensity of the radiation and the duration, lead to 
mutation of body cells.  In the case of trees, it leads to a 
change in the structure of the wood.

Our body has a limited ability to deal with disturbances, 
but it cannot cope with continuous tension or stimulation.  
Much of our state of health is directly influenced by 
radiation, as for instance, cramps, depression, insomnia, 
bed-wetting, asthma, pains on the weak spots of the body 
etc.  More problematic, however, are the illnesses which 
result in permanent damage, for instance cancer, where 
considerable statistical evidence between the direct 
correlation between geopathogenic radiation and cancer 
exist.

Very similar to the moon, and very likely caused by it, is 
the change in Earth radiation, and particularly in 
intensity.  One experiences the highest radiation during 
periods of full moon, decreasing with a decreasing moon 
phase.  Whilst radiation lines sometimes disappear totally, 
other new fields appear in different locations.

In Central Europe, certainly fluctuations are known, but 
they are relatively small and appear periodically.  Water 
veins do change but only slightly or not at all in their 
width.

In Papua New Guinea, water vein radiation is similar to 
Europe, subject to minimal fluctuation although a common 
occurrence in the appearance and disappearance of huge water 
veins.  The cause of this is likely to be found in the high 
local seismic activity.

Australia has a high incidence of continuous water veins.  
Fluctuations in the intensity, however, are some of the most 
extreme anywhere on the planet.  The reason for these 
extremes is the ancient nature of the continent and the 
extreme climatic conditions.  Long periods of drought are 
followed by periods of flood, resulting in the shrinking and 
re-activating of the subterranean watercourses.

The huge artesian basins are subject also to Earth 
radiation, making it very difficult in those areas to find a 
permanent, unradiated place of residence.

Plants cannot select their location nor can they avoid 
detrimental environmental change.  Similarly to the animals, 
there are species which are not affected by Earth radiation 
or even seem to benefit from it.  Plants by their growth 
habits and by their diseases, give much information about 
subterranean Earth radiation.  Trees, with cancerous growth 
cannot escape the notice of even those least interested in 
nature.

The growth patterns of trees exactly indicate to us the 
alignment of water veins, even their direction.  Radiation 
forces the trees into growth patterns that are unnatural to 
the species.  Skillful dowsing depends on an ability to read 
the clear signs of nature and interpret them correctly.

Every person has this sixth sense frequently demonstrated by 
the behavior of children.  When we become educated, this 
intuitive sense is replaced by a logical, numerical type of 
thinking.  And so we come to the conclusion that when there 
are no instruments to measure Earth rays, there are no Earth 
rays.

The things we cannot prove don't exist.  For radioactivity, 
we have the geiger counter or an electricity voltmeter; for 
the warning signals of Earth rays, only our subconscious.  
For our own protection, we have to re-discover this ability 
and perfect it.  To find Earth radiation is simple, 
inexpensive and has nothing to do with supernatural 
abilities.  Anybody with a wish to learn has succeeded, 
which has led me to the conviction that everyone can find 
these disturbing influences with the aid of the divining 
rod.

The most used and traditional rod is the willow branch.  My 
father and my grandfather only used that type of rod.  I 
only learned 15 years ago about the steel rod and only began 
to use the double-wire rod 5 years ago.

From my experience, beginners learn best with a double-wire 
rod.  Often the attempts with the willow rod prove to be 
unsuccessful in the beginning, and once a wire rod is tried, 
the learner is successful.  A drawback of the wire rod is 
that strong wind may affect the reading.

Willow rod and a pivoting steel rod should tilt slightly 
upwards, the back of the hand pointing towards the earth.  
When crossing the radiation lines, the rod turns powerfully 
downwards.

The double steel rod, on the other hand, is held very 
loosely in the hands.  With most support given by the little 
finger, the thumb should not be crossing on the bend of the 
wires.  The hands should not touch but should be at least 10 
centimeters apart.  Rods should be held slightly lower and 
when crossing veins, the rods will move upwards and cross.  
Surely, all beginning is difficult and, as already 
mentioned, you need to seek the advice of an experienced 
dowser to check the readings.  Both prepare a sketch for 
comparison.

Making a rod:  The traditional willow rod was cut fresh from 
the trees.  Other types of wood may also be used.  The ends 
should be pliable and the rod not too heavy.  The steel rod 
may consist of one piece of wire, or of two pieces of 
similar length, bent so that one leg is 8 centimeters long 
and the other, at right angles to it, 30 to 60 centimeters 
long.

Different materials are suitable.  I use coathangers, 
sometimes plastic coated.  Old rusted fine fencing wire may 
be used.  Some of the best dowsers I have come across had 
the simplest of instruments.

Most animals react strongly to the presence of water veins 
just as human beings do.  The difference is that we dismiss 
the sense in our concentration on rationality.

The organs of the pig, as well as its alimentary tract, are 
similar to that of the human.  Observation of domesticated 
pigs shows a high degree of sensitivity to Earth radiation.  
I observed the situation where 100 sows were put into a 
special stable in preparation for the arrival of the 
piglets.  The mother pig would seek a position away from the 
Earth radiation, the piglets would also move there are a 
short warming-up under the heater.  The rate of squashed 
piglets for this particular box was much higher than for  
any of the other boxes, whilst in the other boxes, the 
piglets spent a good deal of time under the heater or around 
the heater.  The restless piglets in the box, subject to 
Earth radiation, had a higher incidence of sickness and a 
lower growth rate.  Other influences, for instance draughts, 
were not affecting this particular observation.

Hens are also very sensitive to Earth radiation.  Hens are 
kept to provide fresh, uncontaminated eggs.  They should, 
therefore, be kept in a location which is comfortable for 
them.  Often it can be found that hens avoid the quarters 
that are provided and do not use the perches but rather 
roost in other places.  They spend the night on the floor in 
a corner though a comfortable perch exists.  In such cases, 
the cause is undoubtedly the existence of Earth radiation.

There may be an explanation here for the use of cat skins in 
many countries of the world for the alleviation of rheumatic 
complaints.  Are we perhaps here dealing with a type of 
homeopathic effect?  Why aren't warmer, softer furs of other 
animals used for that purpose?

In my work with the complex issues of Earth radiation, I 
find that many questions cannot be answered, and that any 
answer raised further questions.  Several claims made by 
experienced dowsers have occupied me over many years. One of 
them is: Do primitive people understand the connection 
between Earth radiation, water veins and their negative 
effects on health?  Papua, New Guinea seemed to me to be the 
best place to find answers to this question.  The largest 
part of Papua New Guinea is untouched by our civilization.  
Houses and paths between the villages, as well as the 
location of villages, in the country at least, are not 
planned in some distant office but determined by the 
instinctive decisions of the natives.

It happens now and again that the entire population of a 
village, after having occupied the site for many 
generations, will abandon it for no apparent reason.  An 
entire new village, sometimes only several kilometers away, 
is built in the thick jungle.  Why do these people make this 
enormous effort of leaving and re-establishing a new 
village?

The history of the abandoned village, Garagassi-Gorendu, is 
well documented by the Russian explorer Nicolai Miloucho-
Maclay.  He lived for several years in Garagassi and visited 
many neighboring villages.

About 100 years ago, many people died here of various 
diseases.  Some houses were more affected than others.  The 
possibility of an epidemic was discounted in this case, 
because the tribe was in close contact with several other 
tribes and none of those had a record of such diseases.  We 
checked the previously densely-populated site.  A radiation 
belt, wider than the old village, was found criss-crossed by 
a series of smaller lines, and this appears to have been the 
causes of the disaster.

Many other abandoned villages are known in Papua, New 
Guinea, as well as in Fiji where I looked into this matter.  
These villages have an enigmatic story in common, told by 
the surviving elders.  Suddenly people die of unexplained, 
different diseases, some very young.  Premature births and 
infertility increase.  The descriptions of the plight do not 
fit the typical pattern of an epidemic or pest plague which 
may have been a suspected reason for abandonment of the 
villages.  Pigs are said to suffer problems in these 
situations; a further reason for the desertions, since pigs 
are highly valued by the native as a kind of currency.

The reason for the disaster overtaking these unfortunate 
villages seems to be the occurrence of Earth radiation 
alone.  Seismic activity, common in New Guinea, could 
explain the sudden occurrence of the radiation in such 
breadth and intensity.  No surprise then that the natives 
believed in curses by hostile tribes or revenging ancestor 
spirits.

Earth radiation assists, amplifies or triggers disease.  Our 
body, to a certain degree, compensated for negative effects 
of Earth radiation, but it is only a matter of time before 
the weakest part of our system will succumb.  This process 
is hastened by genetic disposition and other negative 
influences.

The most detailed statistical evidence in regard to earth 
radiation so far has been established for cancer.  Over the 
years I have observed many cases who, according to my 
theory, should have enjoyed good health but were not.  My 
assumption was based on their natural diet, sufficient 
exercise, emotional well-being and many were also living in 
a rural, coastal, relatively unpolluted environment along 
the East coast of Australia.

Medical investigations undertaken on my advice revealed 
cancer.  In some cases, previous owners of the houses also 
suffered cancer.

Although I am aware of a series of other cancer-causing 
factors in today's world, I have yet to find a cancer case 
(skin cancer excepted) without long term Earth radiation 
exposure in bed or at work.

Similar connections have been found for depression, 
bronchitis, insomnia, bed wetting and rheumatism.

We know Earth radiation mainly by its devastating outcomes, 
which logically increases our desire for solutions.  Since 
we do not yet possess measuring instruments to demonstrate 
the radiation phenomenon and effects, we are depending on 
the sensitivity and behavioral indicators of plants, animals 
and man.  This situation, understandably, creates a climate 
for misuse by charlatans.  It is therefore particularly 
important that as many people as possible develop dowsing 
skills and experience.
