The Emeriti Order made significant contributions to agricultural and horticultural science through clandestine experimentation, necessitated by the need to remain anonymous to avoid capture by disgruntled authorities, such as Papal Guards or Royal Soldiers.
Emeriti Monk engaged in Scientific Farming (1143 CE) |
During the Medieval period, Emeriti Monks surreptitiously
engaged in what they called, “Scientific Farming.” These practices were contrary to Augustinan
instructions to use “celestial symbols,” such as the perfect square, the circle
and the pentagon to organize the gardens.
The Emeriti Monks fashioned the Wattle Fence by weaving sapling cuttings
between larch posts to protect the garden from animals and to create a
favorable micro-climate, while employing raised beds made from white cedar planks
as illustrated in the woodcut above (From the Emeriti Monk Manual of Scientific Farming, Emeriti Press
International, Zurich).
Additionally, they experimented in secret alchemical bio-dynamic garden rituals to concentrate the nutrient value of selected vegetables with the aim of
improving eyesight (Super Carrots) and reducing inflammation (Super Blueberries),
to name a few examples.
BHI Prescription Grade Farmaceuticals™containing proprietary biochemical remedies. |
This experimental tradition continues to this day at the
Broad Hill Institute Center for Advanced Farmaceutical Research. During the last decade, the BHI Farmaceutical
Labs have developed enhanced fruits and vegetables that contain prescription grade
proprietary Farmaceuticals to treat such human maladies as BO, ED, RDD (Retention Deficit Disorder), and CGAD (Compulsive Gun Acquisition Disorder).
BHI Pit Stop® is another transdermal ointment product designed to treat Body Odor (BO), using natural herbal derivatives and no Aluminum oxides; Erectile Dysfunction (ED), employing Citrulline derived from Watermelons (See BHI Citrulline Tabs®); and Early Onset Dementia, using the ingredients in Retain Balm®. The Ointment is applied daily as an underarm deodorant in a non-greasy, non-staining formulation.
