Questions Relating to KARNA (KELEA Assisted Restoration of Nature’s Allostasis)
  1. What are the relative contributions, optimal amounts, and ideal proportionality of the three components currently being utilized? The relatively small amounts being used may have the intrinsic benefit of allowing the biological restoration process to proceed more sequentially. Restoration could begin with the selective growth of beneficial microbes that may outcompete pathogenic microbes. Next may be the flourishing of microinvertebrates, followed in turn by macroinvertebrates, and invertebrates. Such a progression would emulate evolution. Ways are available to quantify such sequential life-form changes in treated areas. Moreover, studies are likely to reveal previously unknown biological interactions and sensing mechanisms operating within complex ecosystems.
  2. What is the mode of action of each effective component? Details are needed on the precise mechanisms of water activation using Kiko pellets, other dipolar materials, and fluctuating electrical charges. The proposed existence of KELEA as a discrete natural life force energy needs to be confirmed. The potential role of telluric currents in the activation of Kiko pellets is currently under investigation. So too is the possible relationship of electroculture and magnetoculture technologies to KELEA activation of water [16].
  3. Can the effectiveness of the manufactured components be improved in economically beneficial ways, augmented, or replaced using other means of KELEA activation of water?
  4. What is the timeline of the induced beneficial biological changes and what is the influence of specific forms of chemical and/or biological contamination on the emergence and temporary excesses of restorative biological agents? Precise laboratory monitoring of chemical and biological changes throughout the restoration process will yield useful information.
  5. Can some of the observed biological changes be used to expedite remediation in other polluted waterways? Of particular interest will be characterizing microbes with specific catalytic abilities to degrade toxic synthetic chemicals.
  6. Reminiscent of the Beauchamp/Pasteur debates [17], is the growth of invasive species due primarily to their presence or secondary to a disorder within the ecosystem due to other factors? If the latter, then intensive quarantine efforts may be unnecessary.
  7. Can secondary benefits be shown, for example in farming and certain industrial processes, from the pollution reduction in water? Certainly, the benefits will extend to improved human and animal health. They will also increase outdoor enjoyment and shoreline property values.
  8. What are the limits of Nature’s allostasis even using maximal achievable KELEA levels?
  9. Do the same Nature allostasis principles apply to reducing soil and air pollution and to improving human and animal health? Specific benefits of using Kiko pellets in large-scale rice and sugarcane production have been described [18-19].
  10. What are the implications of KELEA in other areas of basic science, including basic physics, chemistry, climate, and cosmology?
None of these questions need to be answered before the existing protocol can be employed in treating virtually all the world’s polluted inland waterways. It is suggested that specific applications be compiled for public sharing. The concept of Nature’s allostasis should be conveyed in educational programs, including those aimed at educating students. Regulations should be in place to limit pollution to within the augmented range of Nature’s allostasis.
