Hi Jonathan:

Just so you know, scdprobiotics.com is NOT affiliated with EMRO Japan.

The only authorized distributors for EM products are listed on their global parters project:

http://www.emrojapan.com:9000/examples/global-cases/north-and-south-america/unitedstatesofamerica.html

The primary distributor of retail products is Tera Ganix, Inc.

The products marketed by "Sustainable Community Development Probiotics" may be closely related to EM, based on Matthew Wood's original work with Dr. Higa, but they are not the same.

If you look closely at their website, they can only market products that are "...A functionally similar product to EM Farming and EM-1."

I'm sure that they probably carry good products that are effective, but if people want the original Dr. Higa organisms, one must purchase from Tera Ganix, Inc., or one of THEIR smaller distributors.

Besides, it's much cheaper.

The only authorized manufacturing plant in the United States is in Tucson, Arizona. The plant is official run by EMRO USA Effective Microorganisms. Terag Ganix, Inc. was set up to be the retail and wholesale distributor for North America.

http://www.emrousa.com/about.html

So for those who want to support Dr. Higa's direct vision, you'll save money by purchasing from Tera Ganix, plus you'll be supporting Dr. Higa's global organization.

You'll notice that on the website:

:EMRO USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EM Research Organization (EMRO) of Okinawa, Japan. EMRO holds the universal or global rights, trademarks and patents or patents pending on the technology of EM, Effective Microorganisms, the EM logo, and its broad range of EM products and their manufacturing know-how or processing licenses throughout the world."

If you hadn't noticed, I'm a big fan.  :o)

I have all of Higa's English translations, and have worked through Vinny's book on EM's.

I hope you'll keep us up to date on any further information you get on EM's and the restoration of radiation contaminated soils there in Japan!

Kind Regards,

Jason

Apologies:  Jason got it right:  "Effective" it is.   Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Saving-Revolution-Effective-Microorganisms/dp/B000UKUCLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316298904&sr=8-1

The translation is superb.

Here's a link to SCD:

http://www.scdprobiotics.com/

I have not purchased anything from them but had a good impression when they started out. Still do:

If SCD has English information about the Fukushima work, that would be the best source. I haven't checked.

The name that Terao Higa coined is Essential Microorganisms. The company that marketed the original formula in the USA is called Sustainable Community Development Probiotics. The founder trained with Higa. Other companies have copied Higa's work. So far as I know, none of them have the same vision.

Higa's book really is amazing and is essential reading. He really believes that EM is an earth-saving revolution. His volunteer work in the radiation-stricken areas is evidence of that.

Greetings, all:

Actually, the term is Effective Microorganisms. The company in the United States that is now distributing this quite amazing "product" is Teraganix:

http://www.teraganix.com/Effective-Microorganisms-History-and-Availability-s/194.htm

Dr. Higa's book, "An Earth Saving Revolution" is a very, very fascinating read.

Dr. Higa's microbial forumation uses sevearl more common organisms to support the sustained existance of phototropic organisms, amazing little critters that cannot exist in an oxygen-rich environment, but are extraordinarily efficient at processing-- what to us-- is toxic waste material, and producing waste-- that to our environment-- is life sustaining.

One of the most enjoyable experiments I've done is proving that these organisms actually do exist in the retail product. When cultivated properly, they are the most amazing purple colored organisms.

Best Regards,

Jason

I think its Essential Microorganisms. Someone please correct if wrong.

Some members, particularly Brooks Bradley, are familiar with the Essential Microorganisms (EM) of Terao Higa, PhD. The proprietor of a local EM shop told me today that volunteers in Fukushima area are experimenting with EM on contaminated crops. He said blueberries went from 20,000 becquerels down to
5,000, a 75% drop.  I don't know the details.

He also said people volunteering in that area are suffering from throat
problems, which I took to be due to radiation, but am not sure. If I get more details I'll pass them along. Incidentally, these volunteers consume
EM themselves.

Incidentally, most of the news in the corporate press regarding this
disaster is, to put it mildly, inadequate. There have been at least three melt-downs and apparently a total melt-through in at least in one instance; some experts fear that radiation is actually moving down through the earth toward groundwater. Given the sugar-coating in the "mainstream" news to date, this is certainly possible. Japanese people are deeply skeptical of government reports, and I think some major changes are ahead for Japan, but
that's all off-topic.
