Dear Sirs,
 My name is Panat Tasneeyanond. I am currently member of the Upper House (the Senate) of the National Assembly of Thailand and serving in my capacity as committee member of the Senate Environment and Agriculture Committees. From 2000 - 20004, I used to serve as chairman of the Senate Environment committee.
Professor Panfilo Tabora of the EARTH University has asked me to write this testimonial in support of the use of EM for Katrina hurricane disater relief in the USA.
To the best of my knowledge, Thailand has been using EM for 22 years now and is handled by the Natural Farming Associations in Saraburi where the EM is produced. In the aftermath of the Tsunami disaster in the southern Andaman coastal provinces of Thailand, the Thai military and other relief authorities did use EM to help the victims in the ravaged areas. They sprayed the EM on the dead bodies, animals and other debris after the Tsunami calamity and this mitigated the problems of the spread of pathogens and diseases to the vulnerable populations nearby. It also reduced the foul stench and flies and made work very agreeable to the relief volunteers.
To further confirm the statement above, the following report by Asia Pacific Natural Agricultural Network (APNAN) is quoted as saying:
"THAILAND USES EM FOR POST TSUNAMI DAMAGE CONTROL - Thailand was also affected by the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean – and our dear friends and colleagues of EM Kyusei, who handle the EM projects in the Royal Kingdom worked close in hand with the Royal Thai Army and the Red Cross to improve sanitation in the affected areas withEM. EM Kyusei provided large quantities of EM free to the affected areas and supplies were even airlifted – to the affected regions in the South of the Kingdom. Again, the reports reaching us state the success of EM and even skeptics who were against EM were convinced of the immediate benefits caused by EM – hence we are very happy that the technology promoted by us really worked in emergency situations – and we do pledge our support to all who are interested and hence will help if requested. We also offer our sincere congratulations to EM Kyusei and all those involved in the relief operations for using this beneficial technology at the time of the crisis – this really proves the effect of Effective Microorganisms."
Sincerely yours,
Panat Tasneeyanond
Senator, Member of the Senate Environment and Agriculrure Committees |
