What is it?
Sound Magic®
with the
Plant Magic®
blends is a plant growing
system that combines a unique system of sound
with a variety of organic nutrient applications, producing healthier plants and crops much
more quickly and naturally.
And the result? The
Plant Magic® system dramatically enhances the yield, taste, shelf life and nutritional
content of your fruits and vegetables, while helping to reduce watering
and fertilizer use.
Tests prove it. Plants
treated with
Sound Magic®
and the
Plant Magic® blends can absorb more
nutrients than untreated plants
Does Sonic Bloom pay off?
With Sonic Bloom you can expect
improved yields from 20 to 200% with a cost per acre per season of
from $80 to $120 which includes the amortized life of the Sonic
Bloom sound unit. This is for a full program for field and row
crops so a yield increase of just 2% and 10% is all that's necessary
to cover the cost of treatment. When you consider early maturity,
drought resistance, increased pest and disease resistance, higher
nutrient levels and associated taste improvement, extended
shelf-life and rapid balanced growth, you can see how a Sonic Bloom
investment really pays.
How does Sonic Bloom work?
Sonic Bloom is a patented concept uses specific sound
frequencies, which were found to be similar to those of birds'
songs, to stimulate and increase the rate at which plants absorb
nutrients.
Sonic Bloom includes an organic nutrient
spray specially formulated to ensure maximum and easy absorption of
64 trace elements and minerals that provide a properly balanced and
nutritional diet for your plants.
An apple grower in southwest Wisconsin
who has used Sonic over 8 years, claims larger, healthier trees with
increased yields, less insect problems, higher sugar levels, earlier
maturity, reduced fertilizer use, and an improved shelf life.
Whereas the state average seasonal yield is 290 bushels per acre,
this grower regularly exceeds 400 bushels per acre. Lab reports
reveal that the apples he grew using Sonic Bloom boast increases of
400% in copper, 1750% in zinc, 300% in chromium and 126% in
potassium. Shelf life jumped from 30 days to 5 months.
100% increase in production of tea
and rice in Indonesia.
A tomato grower in Arkansas observed
that average greenhouse crop yield increased from 9,000 to 19,000
pounds. Once picked, these tomatoes stay unspoiled up to three times
as long as untreated tomatoes and he reported that there were no
problems with tomato diseases. |

SONIC BLOOM - An Interview
with Its Creator: Dan Carlson
Dale Lucht & Esther Turner
In
the early 1960’s a young GI, stationed in Korea, witnessed a mother
lay her young child beneath the tires of an Army truck, crushing his
legs. She did it so she
could get money from the government to feed her children.
The GI’s name was Dan Carlson, a young Minnesota recruit, who,
after witnessing that sacrifice, decided to devote his life to wiping
out hunger.
How
many people as young adults, make an oath like that, and then are
sidetracked? But Dan Carlson didn’t get off the track.
He went to college and studied horticulture and agriculture.
As a result of Dan’s commitment, he developed his own present
business “Sonic Bloom.” Sonic
Bloom is more than a cute name, but is actually a revolutionary new
technique to make plants grow and grow abundantly and beautifully!
While
in college, Carlson concluded that if plants could be fed through their
leaves, then it wouldn’t matter if the soil were poor.
In leaves there are tiny pores called stomata that take in carbon
dioxide and water from the air and give off oxygen.
His theory was to feed the plants through the stomata with a
mixture of nutrients. The
trick was to get the stomata to open up when they were being sprayed.
At
this time he stumbled on a record called “Growing Plants Successfully
in the Home,” by George Milstein.
That gave him the idea of using music to open the stomata upon
demand. Carlson enlisted
Michael Holtz, a Minneapolis music teacher, to aid him in developing
music to go along with oscillating “cricket chirping” that Carlson
had developed. Holtz
realized that its pitch was consonant with early-morning bird chirping.
They blended the chirping and musical tones into one sound which
forms a command that stimulates the plant’s stomata to open and absorb
the offered fertilization. Together,
the stimulating harmonics and growth producing nutrients produced
exceptional results. This
blended recording is now available on cassette and is furnished in the
Sonic Bloom Kit.
As
our car entered the long driveway to his Nut Farm near River Falls, WI,
we heard the unusual sounds of chirping!
As we pulled up to the house, we were immediately met by Dan.
After our four-hour drive, it was especially nice to be greeted
with his warm smile and hardy welcome!
How
is it that when you first talk to someone, and before you meet them, you
already know that you will “connect” with them personally.
I had this feeling about Dan Carlson.
We had spoken several times by phone before I decided that I
would like to know more about him and his product “Sonic Bloom.”
In those conversations, I could sense something intriguing about
him. Call it intuition, but
I could feel a devotion and sincerity in his voice that caught my
attention.
Dan
bent down and picked up a hickory nut that was just starting to sprout
and gave it to me. “Here,
you can start your own tree from the nut farm!”
The three of us immediately meshed and I knew this was going to
be more than an interview but an adventure.
“Dan,
the first thing I have to ask is . . .
What is all that chirping?”
Dan laughed and went on to explain the way he uses sound to
promote plant growth. He’s
been playing his music for the nut trees on the farm and is reproducing
nuts from those endangered trees successfully with Sonic Bloom.
As we talked, I learned that Dan is a nut tree expert who has
personally cultivated and matured the following varieties on his farm: Chestnut, Horse Chestnut, Butternut, Beechnut, and Heartnut.
I learned that there are more than one variety of Walnut and
Hickory Nut and that some develop more “meat” such as the Weshcke
Walnut.
Dan
has a way about him that puts you at ease and makes you feel
comfortable. I felt as if I was talking with an old friend.
His warm smile and eyes display a quiet strength -- a strength
which motivates him to fulfill his lifelong goal to assist in
eradicating the hunger of the world.
We
walked over to his favorite spot on the farm.
A clearing amongst the nut trees, surrounded by wild flowers with
their vibrant colors sparkling in the sun.
He requested that we sit on an old tree trunk.
This is the spot where Dan goes to collect himself during those
difficult times and as I looked at him, I could feel the compassion this
man has for life and nature.
Dan
shared the fact that he does a lot of negotiating for business from
around the world. Recently,
he’s had representatives from England, Mexico, and Japan come to his
farm at River Falls. He had
them stay in his log cabin not far from this special spot.
Dan loves to take his guests out into nature because it removes
the formal atmosphere and helps everyone to relax.
Looking around at this spot, I can understand why he feels this
way. In 1980, Carlson incorporated, and now has patents in 35
countries. And what are the
results? A Pennsylvania
alfalfa grower wins every contest, both for growth and nutrition. A cauliflower box that normally contains a dozen heads, only
holds four heads of “Sonic Bloom” cauliflower heads. Soybean plants
produce up to 300 pods per plant (30 to 35 is normal).
(The beans treated in Wisconsin contained 27% protein against a
normal 15%.) Dill plants
over four feet tall. Calla
lilies over six feet tall. Bell
pepper plants bearing over 50 peppers per plant.
Sonic
Bloom’s ingredients are “generally recognized as safe,” says
Carlson, and have been approved by different organic growers
associations. Also, the
shelf life of Sonic Bloom produce is longer because there is more
nutrition and trace minerals in each head of lettuce, tomato or
watermelon.
Another
benefit from Sonic Bloom is that, because the plant takes its nutrition
through its leaves and is absorbed throughout the whole plant, including
its roots, the nutritional value of the soil actually improves.
Gabriel
Howearth moved to San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico, in 1984.
Among other things, Howearth introduced amaranth, a high protein
grain. The soil was
alkaline clay-loam or adobe-sandy with a pH ranging from 7.7 to 7.9.
Sonic Bloom increased the average yield from 1600 to 2600 pounds
per acre and reduced the maturity time by 15 days. It’s obvious that
Carlson’s main focus is still on feeding the hungry, as well as
growing food on poor soil.
He
is also involved in an experiment in Israel where they are trying to
increase production of endangered African trees.
Another
interesting project Dan is working on is with the Chinese government
dealing with the province of Sinhiang of Inner Mongolia.
The Chinese government has sent representatives to River Falls to
work with Dan on improving their crop yields.
He is showing them he can grow plants in the worst areas of the
world. His rewards come
from the awareness that, “He is starting to feed people!”
He
is also treating yew trees with Sonic Bloom.
There is an extract from the bark that is showing promise in
curing cancer. With Sonic
Bloom, he is able to get the taxol into the needles; thus eliminating
the need to kill the tree to obtain the taxol.
In experiments he has been able to triple production of the taxol.
Always the humanitarian, he says, “That means three times more
people can be helped.”
He
recently returned from the Philippines where he was asked to advise them
on what can now be done after the devastating volcanic eruptions.
Many times the soil is improved as in what happened at Mt. St.
Helens in the United States. But
the Mt. Pinatubo eruption contained sulfur dioxide, which is poisonous.
Dan
showed us pictures from the Philippines with 15 feet of ash on the
ground covering all life in the mountains.
A million and a half people were relocated in Manila from the
June 14,1991 disaster. A
local university leader arranged to bring Dan in on a 4-wheel drive
caravan to this devastated area where they are trying to recover and
grow new vegetation. He
went there to show them how his technique grows new plants.
The special music aids in the absorption of nutrients and allows
the plants to translocate the nutrients down into the soil and become
accustomed to the toxins. He
has been working with reclaiming soil from volcanic devastation for a
few years now, with great success.
Dan’s
witty sense of humor showed when he talked about how he views reclaiming
devastated soil. He calls
his attitude the “Robin Hood Approach,” where he robs from the rich
(brings in nutrients) and gives to the poor (the depleted soil).
Dan giggled with the thought.
Carlson
said that not only did it affect the Philippines, but it also threw vast
amounts of sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere and we may be
affected by it in the future.
One
current event Dan is extremely excited about is the annual Chelsea
Flower Show in England. He
has been invited to the biggest horticultural show in the world.
This 23-acre flower show is called the “Show of Shows!” Dan is thrilled with his invitation, for it represents
recognition for his work and products.
On display will be his own rose bushes which yield 67-70 flower
per bush as opposed to 8-10 from a normal rose plant.
In listening to Dan, I could hear the sound of a deep
satisfaction in his voice as he said, ”This show gives me the chance
to share my joy with the world!”
Not
all of his experiments are of a serious nature.
Years ago his wife allowed him to try Sonic Bloom on her passion
plant. Although it normally grows to about 18 inches, the more often
he treated it, the more it grew. By
the time the Guinness Book of World Records came to measure it, the
plant was over 1300 feet long.
When
we visited him at his nut farm near River Falls, WI, Carlson’s
knowledge and love of the land and trees was very apparent.
The
farm is an experiment, as well as a relaxation for this dynamic man.
One
would think that the nut farm was his full time occupation.
But, this is not so. His
full time work is still “Sonic Bloom.”
Even after 30 years, he is still excited by his quest.

This is a crazy
world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been
taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the
Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of
controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said,
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not
who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the
nation's banks and money system. That's why we advocate using the
Liberty Dollar,
to understand the monetary and banking system. Freedom is connected
with
Debt Elimination
for each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the
National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for you to know
this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in
A New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles.
You CAN
take back your power
and
stop volunteering to pay taxes to the collection
agency for the BEAST. You can take
back that which is yours, always has been yours and use it to pay off
your debts. And you can send others to these pages to discover what
you are discovering.
