You can mock it all you want, it's research done by botanist Jack Heslop Harrison that supports the OPs stance.
YOU BET YOUR ASS I MOCK THAT BOOK!
I did like the book. Facts and comedy all wrapped into one.
You all should buy it and read the whole thing - The thing is. Good luck finding it! It's out of print and no one has any.......I wonder why?
Oh, and by the way BDOG. It's written by Robert A. Nelson with Mobius Rex and printed by Rex Research.
Much of that section or chapter (he does this a lot through out the book) is results of others work - he's just listing it with out attempting to confirm the results..to form his own conclusions or list effecting factors......
here is the review from Google books.

Mobius rex and Rex Research
This is Rex research:

And this is Robert A. Nelson:
Link wont work = google him, look down the page to the 5th one down "about Robert A. Nelson"
The site is a bunch of hokum and smoke and mirrors.
The book is compilations of others work rearranged to include riddiculious and unfounded/unsupported methods and rumors of alchemy....
Robert A. Nelson is a NOBODY and has NO degree in botany OR horticulture! He simply compiled others works and THEORIES!
While there IS quality work "copied and pasted" it becomes a book that is a metaphysical journey into the absurd!
This posting is the result of you "google pro's" reading a blurb and then finding fact in the absurd!
You have to look below the surface to find the truth.
The book is out of print because it pass's truth and goes on to stupid, written by a nobody and printed by a "who/what the fuck is that" company. Owned by a metaphysical douchebag full of "new world " BS!
NOW GET REAL!
