If the dracaena plant reaction of Dr Backster were so important, i'm surprised no one has bothered to replicate the experiment or develop a related field of evidence. Such experiments can be performed at low cost. My assumption is that this is far too subjective for big-science and not really interesting beyond speculation.
There have been many bio-research applications for ohm-meters (like Backster's polygraph) in unrelated work. Too many to list. I think this other-researcher had a better use: http://www.wrf.org/men-women-medicine/dr...s-burr.php Yet his work is forgotten and his book has become a rare collector's item. My main point being that the application of ohm meters in science run far and wide. So wide in fact that the Backster observation may yet support other conclusions altogether. (I won't bore you). Perhaps some humans possess strong energy fields, strong enough to change experimental results. The famous "Heisenberg uncertainty principle" comes to mind. Or outside of physics, the ancient concept of mind over matter. Or unawareness of personal power at a distance. So much to pick through and i would expect one will find countless effects which are not particularly replicable.
Zack, I would say that we are bonded to our family diets until we manage to develop an independence. Even as a young, independent adult, there are yet further bonds to overcome. Most commonly through debt bondages of various kinds. I myself could not develop my independence until age 18. After that there were several big bondages to free myself from. At the end of which i found myself somewhat isolated from popular conventions. It sounds as though you are finding good ways to proceed. After all it is indeed how we feel about it.
I'd go further to say experiments with plant feelings might be bonded to our own feelings.
