Nature comprises various levels of interactive and interdependent elements, which collectively help ensure functional stability, adaptability, and predictability. The interactions between defined groupings of physical elements with various life forms are referred to as ecosystems. Allostasis refers to the adjustments within ecosystems, which maintain their functionality during development and in response to moderate disruptions. However, the intrinsic capacity for making these adjustments and self-recovery is limited to within what are called tipping points. Persisting and even worsening anomalies occur beyond the ecosystems’ tipping points. Attempts at normalizing a disordered ecosystem typically entail efforts to directly modify the levels of the identified aberrant elements. This approach often leads to secondary impairments with continuing suboptimal functioning of the ecosystem. This article describes the alternative paradigm of simply providing additional energy to a disordered ecosystem. The added energy can initiate a progressive sequence of stepwise or allostatic adaptations leading to the restoration of a normal functioning ecosystem. A readily available form of useful energy is termed KELEA, an abbreviation for Kinetic Energy Limiting Electrostatic Attraction. While the primary role of KELEA is presumably to prevent the fusion and annihilation of electrostatically attracted opposing electrical charges, it is also utilized as an energy source for all life forms. Water can become a carrier of KELEA for many of its beneficial life force activities. There are multiple ways of increasing the KELEA levels of water, including the use of soluble and insoluble electrically active components, oscillating, or fluctuating electrical devices, and being placed in the vicinity of previously activated fluids. Water with increased levels of KELEA can, therefore, potentially provide sufficient additional life-force energy to initiate a self-repairing series of allostatic adaptations in a disordered ecosystem. This has been shown with the use water-activating pellets that are comprised of volcanic material, which has been pulverized and heated to a partial melting temperature, before being cooled and pelleted. The product is termed Kiko Technology. A few Kiko pellets used in conjunction with small amounts of biochar have led to the remarkable restoration of the quality of various collections of polluted water, including areas of Spirit Lake, Iowa. The improved water quality is accompanied by the return of a normal range of aquatic, land, and flying animal-wildlife. There has also been a major die-off of zebra mussels, which is a damaging invasive species. It is postulated that the restorative process begins with a resurgence of beneficial microbes that begin to outperform pathogenic microbes. The observed continuing improvements in the treated areas around Spirit Lake and at other locations are occurring in a progressive manner consistent with KELEA assisted restoration of Nature’s allostasis (KARNA).

The term allostasis was introduced by Dr. Peter Stirling to describe how the brain adapts to various stresses by successfully modifying its functional activities [1]. Unlike homeostasis with a preset single mode of optimal brain activity, allosteric adaptations allow for variable modes of optimal brain activity depending upon circumstances. As used in this article, the term allostasis has a wider meaning that applies to many natural phenomena, including the development and functioning of complex ecosystems [2]. Thus, Nature's allostasis allows ecosystems to maintain essential functions despite changes in the various elements in the ecosystems. The resilience of each ecosystem is achieved through compensatory adaptations in response to altered environmental conditions, including during the initial formation and in any subsequent reformation of the ecosystem. Interactive Elements Comprising an EcosystemThe evolutionary development of an ecosystem proceeds stepwise from two or more interacting components. Their interactions create conditions which can accommodate the addition of one or a few additional components to achieve a more complex level of functional activity. This process proceeds to where the ecosystem becomes enormously complex with innumerable symbiotic interactions. One example is the mind-boggling biochemical pathways operating even within a single cell [3]. So too is the multiplicity of interacting life forms in Crimson PublishersWings to the Research

“…Water is a universal solvent and thus this is also transparent and nearly colourless substance which is a chemically oriented one that is the main source of earth's streams, seas, lakes, oceans and in times formed as a main need for most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O (Azad and Hassan, 2020). This chemical formula says that it has two numbers of hydrogen and one number of oxygen and thus they are connected together by a covalent bond.…”

This study is aimed at determining the efficacy of using Moringa oleifera seed powder (MOSP) in wastewater treatment process (domestic and industrial). The effectiveness of MOSP was evaluated on the microbial and physiochemical characteristics of water. The experimental results of the properties of the treated and untreated water samples from industrial and domestic water sources revealed significant improvement after treatment with MOSP. The findings observed that generally, Moringa oleifera seeds treated both industrial and domestic waste water well as an alternative to commercial coagulating agents. The study, therefore recommended that Moringa oleifera seed powder be utilized in industries and homes for the treatment of waste water and re-use. In addition, these processes are environmentally friendly and offer a wide variety of other benefits, such as reducing costs, reducing the generation of by-products, and providing greater biodegradability.
