Plants contain crystals?  That's new to me.  Any biologist there to confirm it?

That very much sounds like the people who are squeezing all sorts of phenomena
into numerical schemes: e.g. finding astronomical relevant numbers in pyramids.
Other examples: Fliess biorhythms or even the Titius-Bode series.

I think this belongs into Robert Sheaffer's Predictions File.

This guy literally believes in *everything*!  Gaia hypothesis, chakras, other
dimensions, precognition, Fatima, Golden Ages, Hopi mythology.  He forgot to
mention Hoerbiger's Glacial Cosmology and Bigfoot.
