Firehouse in Eagle County, Colorado
This firehouse building is nestled in a valley of Eagle County, Colorado that has been hart hit by the death of millions of Lodge Pole Pine trees. Firefighters are extremely concerned about the fire danger posed by reddening trees–early stages of death–and the 'silver ghosts'. Dead Lodge Pole Pines turn silver a year or two after death. Firefighters are doing everything in their power to protect people and property in this area.
Officials found out about Dr. Jim's alternative, holistic approach to healing trees early in 2008. They were curious and skeptical..but willing to see if his treatment showed promise to keep trees green and growing. Green, growing trees do not burn as readily.
Holistic energy-healing treatment of the trees around the firehouse started in May, 2008––during Dr. Conroy's 2nd visit to Colorado––and continued in October of 2008 and June of 2009. During Dr. Jim Conroy's visit in June of 2009, sewer repair was being done down the street. That is why there are black construction fences in some of the photos.

West Side of the Firehouse: "Green Scene" Lodge Pole Pine
This tree shows multiple Pine Bark Beetle 'hit's. Many trees have already been taken out around it.
The prevailing thought is that with this many hits the tree is considered "dead already." But, it is still green. So, we are recommending that it be left living and standing. We feel that it has a chance to regain health and grow again.
We hope that a new saying is adopted: "IF ITS GREEN-LEAVE IT IN THE SCENE. IF ITS BROWN-CUT IT DOWN."
Dr. Jim's holistic healing work for this tree and other Colorado Lodge Pole Pines in the 2009 season involved
- Re-establishing and strengthening the circulation "pump".
- Influencing the balance of fluid 'ingredients' so that it can easily move through the circulation system.
- Renewing cell division so that replacement of worn cells and growth occurs.
- Re-connecing the interdependent interactions so that the growth process builds and reinforces itself in a positive loop.
These are not outlandish claims. Alternative health care practitioners do these things every day for people using their energy-based, intuitive and non-linear skills and methodologies. Trees are alive, too, and respond similarly.
