Theory of Provings/2, by Jan Scholten

The prover procedure has several aspects: the remedy, the prover sensitivity and the prover attention. No prover procedure can guarantee complete and accurate results with provings. When used with care, the information in the meditation provings in “Secret Lanthanides” can be and has been very helpful in the development of the remedy pictures.
