 Iversen says thisdegradation process ischaracterized byreduced soilor-
ganisms, earthworms dying out,andbythevegetation regression thatcomes when soil
isdepleted andlacks minerals. Andersen and’ Iversen have similar descriptions ofthis
process. Inthese mull soils, ofroughly 6000 to3000 B.C., theleaching ofthesoilsalts
istosome extent counteracted bythemixing activity ofthesoilfauna andtheabili-
tyoftheprevailing trees andshrubs toextract bases from thedeeper soillayers and
contribute them totheupper layers during thedecomposition oftheir litter.However,a
slow removal ofcalcium carbonate willbring thesoils intoalessstable state, where theequilibrium may bemore easily disturbed. This leaching ofcalcium carbonate (lime) is
shown tobesosignificant tothetopsoil ecology because, according toAndersen, “the
leaching ofsoilminerals other than lime willbeinsignificant, until thecalcium carbon-
atehasbeen removed”. Withthisgradual leaching, themull forest could notmaintain
itself, andwith thelapse oftime, caused itself adepauperization andacidification ofthe
upper soillayers, which extended sofarthatthedense forest receded andmore open
vegetation types expanded. The changeover from mineral-rich mull soils toacidifying
mor soilconditions begins inthemesocratic, andwith thegradual demineralization of
formerly-calcareous soils, growth ofimpenetrable hardpans andsoillifedie-outs follow.
This creates shallow topsoils susceptible todrought orbeing easily swamped; andthis
infertile state leads totakeover byheathlands, peat bogs, andtreeswith ability tosurvive
on acidic soils —spruce, pine, birch, poplar, etc.
3.Oligocratic phase.This condition becomes prevalent inthisphase, andisbrought on
asaresult ofdegeneration ofsoils. The increasing podzolization, characterized byin-
creased demineralization andacidity,continues upthrough thetelocratic (end) phase.
(Podzolization isaprocess ofsoilformation, especially inhumid regions, involving
principally leaching oftheupper layers with accumulation ofmaterial inlower layers
anddevelopment ofcharacteristic horizons; specifically,thedevelopment ofapodzol.
Podzol: anyofagroup ofzonal soils thatdevelop inamoist climate especially under
coniferous ormixed forests andhave anorganic matandathin organic-mineral layer
above agray leached layer resting onadark alluvial horizon enriched with amorphous
clay.)
4.Telocratic (end) phase.Thefinal interglacial phase isthetime when thedemineralized
soils begin toberemoved. Therigorous conditions attheendoftheinterglacial arere-
flected byanincrease inallochthonous mineral matter,nodoubt duetoincreasing surfi-
cial erosion.
Theinformation invirtually every textbook onsoils, forestry,orecology leaves no
doubt thatthepresent world civilization isatleast deep intotheoligocratic phase. An-
dersen’ swork also shows thattheScandinavian lakes andsoils reflect aclose parallel
development from basic toacidic conditions—again, many thousands oflakes there, as
well asinother parts oftheworld, arenow already acidified intolifelessness from acid
rain. Rapidly accelerating worldwide erosion rates areevident; thefigure in1981 was
already 6,400,000,000 tons of topsoil lost per year to erosion.
These facts, along with increasingly rigorous conditions imposed bytheweather
since atleast 1972, very strongly indicate thatthetelocratic endphase may indeed have
begun. Aswesaid, thefinal changeover tosub-arctic climate andvegetation hasbeen
seen to have been made in only 20 years in other inter glacial to glacial transitions.
What other changes come with theendofaperiod ofinterglacial warmth? From
studies ofsediments andsoils, Geor geKukla agreed that“major changes invegetation
occurred attheendoftheprevious warm period. Deciduous forests thatcovered areas
during themajor glaciations were replaced bysparse shrubs, anddust blew freely.The
climate wasconsiderably more ‘continental’ than itisnow,andagricultural productiv-
itywould have been marginal atbest.” Geor geKukla andJulius Fink studied interlay-
ered soils exposed inexcavated brickyards ofCzechoslovakia. Seventeen major cycles
ofglacial loess deposition (loess ismixed rock dust andsiltground bytheglaciers and
swept bythewinds) andsubsequent interglacial soil“decalcification” (and overall dem-
ineralization) over thelast1.7million years were revealed. The interglacial soils are
shown tohave supported thedeciduous forests native tonorthwest andcentral Europe
until insome way they died offandgave way tothesteppe vegetation ofachilled, wind-
torn glacial desert with blowing dust. Loess always returns tocover thedemineralized
soils. Then, again, over thecenturies, theloess becomes mostly consumed bythesoil
formation and development process.Thecycle ofglaciation iscomplete when thesupply ofminerals ground from rocks
bythelastglaciation isused upandglaciation occurs again. Whereas plant lifenormally
removes allexcess CO2 from theatmosphere bygrowing faster asCO2 increases, itcan
nolonger doso,since itgets itscellprotoplasm from thesoilmicroor ganisms and, as
weknow,themicroor ganisms start dying toowhen insuf ficient elements areavailable to
them.
Aconference was held atBrown University in1972 with paleontologists, sedi-
mentologists, stratigraphers, paleoclimatologists, andothers, entitled ThePresent Inter-
glacial, How andWhen WillItEnd? They strongly confirmed the100,000-year average
glacial-inter glacial cycle, andmany stressed thefactthatweshould beatorclose tothe
end of the present inter glacial.
Thesearch forcauses oftheIceAge began over acentury ago, andHamaker says
theanswer literally liesbeneath ourfeet: progressive soildemineralization oftheearth’ s
soil mantle causes an eventual collapse of the global carbon cycle. The cycle is:
soilremineralization ->interglacial soildemineralization ->vegetational succession
and collapse -> the glacial process -> soil remineralization
Hamaker also believes thelargeincrease inearthquakes canbeattributed tothe
steadily-increasing weight ofsnow andicecover pressing onthemolten layers justun-
derneath theearth’ scrust, causing shifting andslippages. Henotes thatthesharp risein
major earthquakes began about 10years after theclimate began togetnoticeably cold-
erbeginning in1940. Healso predicts asteadily-increasing incidence ofvolcanic erup-
tions, for the same reason, and suggests this has already begun in the last few years.
Glaciation usually comes atatime when theearth’ stectonic system hasfired upvol-
canic activity byfeeding ocean floor intothecontinental heaters, mostly located inthe
Pacific “ring offire”. Volcanic action releases largeramounts ofliquified gases trapped
inthemolten rock. Carbon dioxide andsulfur dioxide arethemain gases released, and
both cause thegreenhouse effect, resulting inourpresent “100-year cold cycle”. These
cycles vary intheir time interval, intervals being determined bythepressure inthetec-
tonic system. Carbon dioxide from decaying andburning mineral-starved vegetation is
then added tothese volcanic gases—together,they initiate thechange from interglacial
toglacial climate. Acidic gases from volcanism andburning forests canthen stifle life
onearth byleaching thefewremaining basic elements intothesubsoil. Inthisway the
change from interglacial toglacial conditions canbemade in20years (Natur e,G.Woil-
lard, 1979). Hamaker says thatman may have moved thepresent glacial process! for-
ward intime by500years bythecontinued pouring ofCO2 intotheair,byacidic gases
andacid rain, andbyforest; andjungle destruction bypeople seeking lumber andfuel
orfarmland...the20-year change period canalsobeshortened. Hamaker estimates that
thebeginning ofa20-year changeover period from interglacial toglacial conditions was
about 1975. Ifthisestimate isaccurate, then tremendous weather changes should have
begun bythattime, signified bygrowing intensification ofallstorm effects, including
unusually heavy rains andsnows, record cold andheat, drought, hail, tornados, etc., all
symptomatic ofincreasing temperature andpressure differentials, greater evaporation of
moisture, and an overall speeding up of global atmospheric circulation.
Iversen warns usthatinformer interglacial epochs, the


Failur e Is a State of Mind

Existence is essentially a fight. W e are tested in the crucible of conflict from
cradle to grave, and the time of our most severe testing is the time of our
greatest growth. Nature is not interested in winners. All too often victory is
a signal for cessation of ef fort. Nature is interested in growth, and growth is
possible only to one constantly at work expanding their abilities and talents.
In any line of endeavor those who have it made are going downhill. Our
waistlines stay trim and our minds alert when we are kept at our labors
through necessity. Our surface selves often find in victory or gain theopportunity to indulge sensation, and we are caught in a trap from which we
may never emer ge as aspiring individuals again. Havelock Ellis wrote,
“Conquest brings self-conceit and intolerance, the reckless inflation and
dissipation of ener gies. Defeat brings prudence and concentration; it
ennobles and fortifies.” Defeat, of course, is never a fact unless it is
accepted as final. Those who realize that all growth possibilities are within
them never accept defeat. They know that they can do much better than
they thus far have shown, for they have a secret pipeline into the source of
all ener gy and talent.
Failure is a state of mind and never a physical fact. W e try to accomplish
something and if results don’ t come our way within a certain period of time
we often throw up our hands and say we can’ t do it. If this psychological
abdication from trying is done without a cessation of physical ef fort, we
may find that suddenly we are getting results, for unconsciously we have
turned our works and actions over to the Secret Self and they have become
effective. But if we cease to make any further physical ef fort, then the work
will never be done for we have turned our back on it.

Boldness

Each of us best fulfills ourself and the purposes of nature when we perform
the task of torchbearer in some area of our activities. Boldness engenders its
own success through liberating ener gies repressed by inhibition. If we find
within ourself the courage to go out on a limb, it will never break under our
weight, will sustain us no matter how fragile it appears, and we will see
from our new vantage point an entirely dif ferent world. Between the timid
and the brave is but a single step, and that is the first one. W ild animals
attack the prey that runs away but stand stock-still and are intimidated by
any that faces them. If we find within ourself the spiritual resource to make
our first step toward danger instead of away from it, we will find that
danger disappears. But if we give in to the impulse of fear and make our
initial step away from danger, life will chase after us and surely devour us.
Let any man show the world that he feels
Afraid of its bark and ’ twill fly at his heels:
Let him fearlessly face it, ’ twill leave him alone:
But ’ twill fawn at his feet if he flings it a bone.
— EDW ARD BUL WER-L YTT ON

Fear engenders fear. The first step away from danger turns into a trot, then a
shambling run, then a panic-stricken dash, and the innocuous cur that
pursues us is now a fancied monster. Similarly, courage engenders courage.
The first step toward danger allows us to see our antagonist clearly. We
examine its face and behold that it is not nearly so threatening as we
imagined. W e begin to see ways and means of coping with it, and just
because we have confronted it head-on, it stops its aggressive action toward
us and considers whether we ourselves might not pose some danger to it.
This is true of events as well as living things. A psychological aura
emanates from events as from people. If something seems to threaten us,
then it surely will pursue us if we run away, but if we advance upon it
boldly, it stops its movement toward us. It hangs back to reconsider, and
eventually yields. Nothing stands before continued ef fort, and nothing can
resist the person who persists in the face of all discouragement. The mental
attitude that never fails is one in which we dispossess ourselves of the goal-
seeking ego and lodge our psyche firmly in a consciousness of the Divine,
viewing our own lives as an opportunity for emer gence of the master spirit,
regarding the work that we do as being the work of the Secret Self.

Perseverance
 Everything great is accomplished by people whose perseverance transcends
mere human endurance. Galileo at his telescope, Newton beneath his apple
tree, Einstein in his laboratory — all are examples of illumination following
a period of prolonged perseverance. No one performing at the behest of
egoistic desire could possibly have accomplished the feats of these
enlightened pioneers; long before illumination arrived, they would cease
their searching and go on to other fields. The Divine uses the discoverer and
the creator, each for the purpose for which they are best suited. Such people
cannot fail for they are doing the work for which they were intended at
birth. In consequence, their lives are completely absorbed in their tasks, so
that the work is inseparable from the person, and is in some kind of mystic
sense the person spun out in space and time and perpetuated as a creative
fact. When that psychological turnabout is made by which the individual
life is surrendered to the Secret Self, there enters into the person an
unearthly determination that impels them to perform their work in the face
of all odds, in the teeth of the bleakest appearances. They take their cue
from a light within, and they are able to alter the psychological aura of
things by bringing into the midst of events their own positive determination
and absolute dedication to the accomplishment of their tasks. Their impact
upon events is not brought about through vain desires or selfish goals, only
because they are doing those tasks that are natural to them.
Fear of failure is a deterrent to action in all those entrapped in ego-
consciousness. The surface self does not possess that sense of equality
necessary to the undertaking of perilous tasks. It is concerned always with
appearances, and it cannot bring itself to undertake an adventuresome
action because if such action comes of f disastrously or comically it is made
to appear incapable or a fool. Millions of people are afraid to try because
they are afraid to fail, and such inhibition keeps them from realizing all but
the tiniest fraction of their capabilities. This shortsighted focusing of
consciousness in the surface self keeps their attention upon transitory goals.
They undertake to sing a song, for example, not because a song in them
must be sung but because they want the attention and admiration of others.
With this false viewpoint, it is even dif ficult for them to bring themselves to
get up before their audiences, for they carry within a picture of the shame
and defeat they will feel if their attempt to win admiration results instead in
ridicule. The song therefore does not get sung, and if sung, is sung poorly.These individuals have not become the thing they are doing but are only
using it for the satisfaction of their surface nature.

Don’t Be Afraid to Fail

The mental attitude that never fails is one that is not afraid to fail. W e must
be willing to accept the conditions that follow failur e befor e we have any
chance of attempting a new enterprise. If it be such a simple thing as diving
off a boar d into a swimming pool, we must be willing to accept the pain
attendant upon a belly flop befor e we ar e able to muster the determination
to dive. Once fear is gone, we will not belly flop; our dive will be swift and
clean. W e perform it because it is in us, and it performs us as much as we
perform it. T o get the surface self out of the way and allow the psyche to be
possessed by a master spirit allows us to undertake our tasks without the
slightest fear of failur e because we not only have a sense of equality towar d
others but know that a power gr eater than we is guiding our steps in the
best possible manner. We need to r ealize that everything is the r esult of
change, that ther e is nothing permanent in the entir e world except that
Secret Self fr om which we have sprung.OceanofPDF.com

 the acknowledgment of their equality no matter
what their appearance was “out there.”
The British Empire could only have defeated Gandhi if it had appealed to
the consciousness of the world saying that it was coming from a higher
principle than Gandhi’ s, and thereby capturing the support and backing of
the populace. There is no way that the British Empire could have won any
more than the American South  could have won the Civil War, where the
self-interest of the principles of the right to own slaves ran against and
smack into more powerful unive rsal principles as stated in the Constitution
and as backed by Abraham Lincoln: the equality of all men.
The heart-heartedness of Gandhi defeated the hardheartedness of the
British. By understanding these  examples we clear up any confusion as to
whether being heart-hearted is soft or weak. What passes for strength under
the guise of hard-heartedness in society is nothing but childlike selfishness.
One infant hits another infant over the head and takes his toy. What a lot of
people think of as strength is nothing but callous indifference or ignorance,
which is not strength. There is nothing admirable about it.
We can see that the gross perversion and misunderstanding of strength
occur in adolescence. The adolescent who is insecure and uncertain about
their own inadequacy now starts to get brainwashed by those who also
failed to make it. They have to work hard to remain convinced that by
persuading others, what they believe in has some truth in it. That a biker
gang can sadistically rape and then beat to death an old woman without
having any feelings about it or regrets does not inspire us with admiration
for their strength or their mascu linity. It’s just plain dreadful; it’s horrible.
All the whips, chains, guns, knives, loud noise, roaring motorcycles, and
pompous display of skulls and leather jackets are symbolic of gross
weakness. It is tragically weak adolescence.
The translation of the same attitudes into the marketplace is still weak
adolescence. The weaker one is inside, the more one needs and has to have
symbols of strength on the outside. The poor corporate raiders just can’tovercome it. They take over one corporation after another yet stay as pitiful
as ever. When we see them for what they are, we stop hating them. Instead,
we feel compassion. We feel sorry for them. Despite all that, they still don’t
feel adequate as men and women. They don’t know that success is being a
whole person.
Does that mean we shouldn’ t make money? Of course it doesn’ t. There’ s
nothing more fun than making money. It’s a sport. It’s a game. It brings lots
of rewards, legitimate ones too. Why shouldn’ t we make all the money we
want to make? But the differences are: want  to make money, not have  to;
choose  to do it, not need  to.
One of the most rewarding and thrilling experiences in my life came
from working with a man whose  life was a disaster. He was going down the
tubes financiall y. He was unable to get out of debt and was entering
bankruptcy. His family was falling apart. He was drinking hims elf to death
and making a fool of himself. He was understandably depressed. He’d once
been a very successful broker. Now he was full of self-pity, resentment,
grudges, hate... a very unhappy man indeed.
All of those consequences were  merely the A→ B→ C of what was out
within him. His ABC was screw ed up badly. It’s a waste of time to try to
help people on the level of A→ B→ C, although the whole world spends
most of its time doing that. I saw clearly that this man was going  to die if he
continued the way he was. So I worked on his ABC nonverb ally. One’ s
ABC is not always definable, expressible, or describable; it’s more like a
way of being in the world. What I tried to transmit to him was that whole
feeling of a dif ferent way “to be.” This is not a linear process.
One day he came to see me. I could tell instantly he was a changed man.
He was a totall y different person! He had become employab le. He had
gotten out of debt, moved away from any risk of bankruptcy, and become
sober. He had given up resen tment, hatred, and self-pity. His life had
become a success.
In his own words, the exact moment that this happened to him occurred
like this:I was brought up to go deer hunting. All of the men in the family went hunting, and this year I
went with them again. We sat in this blind on the last day of the season; none of us had bagged
anything. And then, in the clearing in front  of me stood three deer. One of them was a huge stag.
I looked down my telescopic sight and had the center of his chest dead-on in the middle of the
crosshairs. At that point I was suddenly overwhelmed by the incredible beauty and magnificence
of that anim al standin g there in its grace and grandeur, with its dignity and stature. I decided not
to pull the trigger. I decided to save its life.
In that moment he moved from  being an adolescent to a man and truly
owned his powe r. The men in his family criticized him, but within himself
he knew  that it had been a great victory. They were still stuck in
adolescence, and he had moved beyond them. They still had to prove
something. He’d  passed the test and didn’ t need to prove it anym ore. When
he decided to use his power to protect life and become its cham pion instead
of destroying it for personal self-interest, he became a powerful being. His
power transformed his whole life and those who were touched by his life.
How could he transmit the power of life to others when he himself had not
committed and aligned with it?
Power is something we only have if we give it away. We can’t give away
what we don’t have. True power  grows: The more we give it away, the more
we have it. It is self-reinforcing and self-augmenting. It’ s like creativity.
People worry, for instance, that they won’ t get as much money as
possible out of a certain invention. Why worry about it? Where that
invention came from, there is an endless supply. The deeds of this world are
so overwhelming that all we have to do is examine them and the answers
present themselv es to us. We don’t even have to strain for them. It doesn’ t
bother me at all if someone steals an idea and runs off and profits from it.
There are plenty  more ideas where that one came from. Owning  power and
creativity means  unlimited abundance. That doesn’ t mean to be indifferent.
That simply means to live from a place that is unthreatened.
No one can threaten our ABC; they can only threaten our A→ B→ C.
Inasmuch as A→ B→ C is only the consequence of ABC that we hold
within ourselves, it can never be threatened. If we own ourselves as the
projector, and life itself is the light source within us, we realize  that we can
create movies all day long. If someone runs off with one we may get
annoyed, but our lives haven’ t really changed.
We don’t have to demonstrate anything “out there” when we already have
it “in here.” The karate master never gets into fights. If he did he wouldn’ t
be a master, would he? I knew a friend who held a black belt in karate. Hewas held up on the street in New York City by couple of muggers
threatening him with knives. What do you suppose he did? Did he flash into
his plast ic hero act and beat them all up like in the movies? I’ll tell you
exactly what he did. He laughed  and gave them his money, his watch, and
his rings  withou t being asked. He then bowed to them. They walked off
with their trophies, and he walked away laughing about it.
I had a similar experience right in Times Square. I was walking alone late
at night, and a huge hulk of a man who had also had a few drinks started
following me, accosting me for money or some other excuse for an
unpleasant encounter of some  kind. He kept getting closer and closer
behind me, getting nastier and nastier, and more and more threatening as we
walked. Finally he said, “Think  you’re better than I am, huh?” I saw that I
wasn’ t going to escape the situation by just walking away. So I
spontaneously spun about, threw my arms and legs out in the air, and
shouted, “Ha!” Well, that took him by surprise, and he fell back in disarray.
In that split second, I had him. I gave a light tap on his shoulder and said,
“Better luck next time.” And again, in that telltale amusement, that feeling-
good laughter arises within one’s self. To win brings its pleasure. The true
victory brings laughter and satisfaction that can’ t be matched.
The world confuses heart-he arted with softness, with sympathy.
Sympathy means to see and

"Scientifically	it	cannot	be	disputed	that	every	point	of	view	the	injection	of

multiplication	of	the	virus	occurs,	then	there	is	no	possibility	of	estimating	the

dose	to	which	the	patient	has	been	subjected.	Thus	the	effect	cannot	be

controlled,	and	in	susceptible	individuals	this	may	lead	to	unforeseen	results."

Data	from	the	bleedings	performed	five	months	after	inoculation	of	Salk
	vaccine,	indicated	that	the	immunity	(if	any)	did	not	last	long.	Dr.	Salk	is

reported	to	have	said	that	"children	vaccinated	last	year	should	be	given	booster

inoculations	this	year."	An	editorial	in	the	Lancet	(weekly	Medical	Journal	April

23,	1955)	comments:

"If	it	is	found	that,	contrary	to	Salk’s	hopes	antibody	levels	cannot	be	maintained

without	a	succession	of	booster	doses,	then	a	serious	problem	will	arise.	Will	it

the	risk	of	allergic	reactions	to	monkey	kidney	tissue	will	become	increasingly

grave."	(Emphasis	mine,	McBean)

Dr.	Ritchie	Russell	of	the	Department	of	Neurology,	Radcliffe	Infirmary	Oxford,

said,	"When	poliomyelitis	is	precipitated	by	inoculation	the	natural	defences	of

the	nervous	system	seem	to	be	ineffective,	and	nearly	all	such	illnesses	develop

into	a	paralytic	form	of	the	disease	affecting	especially	the	limb	used	for	the

The	Manchester	Guardian	(April	15,	1955)	stated,	"One	of	Britain’s	greatest

BRITISH	PAPERS	WARN	AGAINST	SALK	VACCINE

In	April,	1955	after	the	"big	Salk	campaign"	had	been	launched	in	the	United

States,	the	Government	and	all	officials	and	agencies	concerned	announced	to

the	world	that	"the	war	against	polio	was	almost	certainly	at	an	end."

The	other	countries	are	a	little	more	conservative	and	a	little	less	willing	to	be

"taken	in"	by	the	sales	propaganda	of	the	Salk	promoters.	The	general	sentiment

of	our	foreign	neighbors	was	expressed	by	Dr.	A.	M.	Payne	when	he	declared:

"Poliomyelitis	is	not	beaten.	We	do	not	know	how	long	the	effect	lasts...we	do

not	know	if	it	will	be	effective	under	other	conditions	than	those	in	which	it	was

used;	we	do	not	know	how	best	to	use	it.	We	do	know	that	there	are	many

(unsolved)	intricate	problems	in	the	manufacture	of	this	vaccine."	(Manchester

Guardian,	April	14,	1955)

"LONDON,	April	22,	1955,	Reuters.	The	British	Medical	Journal	today	warned

physicians	against	over	enthusiastic	acceptance	of	the	Salk	anti-polio	vaccine

citing	‘the	possibility	of	toxic	effects’."

On	this	same	point	the	Lancet	said	it	would	be	"very	reluctant	to	see	the	vaccine

used	on	a	large	scale	in	Britain	without	further	tests."	It	also	warned,	"the

possibility	of	toxic	effects	from	repeated	injections	with	monkey	tissues	must	be

considered."

Caution	was	cast	to	the	winds	in	this	country	and	our	U.S.	Government	and

medical	profession	had	no	hesitancy	in	using	the	unproved	vaccine	and	repeating

their	blundering	tests	on	millions	of	human	beings	even	after	the	large	number	of

deaths	and	paralysis	had	proved	it	to	be	not	only	a	failure	but	a	dangerous	killer.

SALK	"SPEAKS	UP"	IN	LIFE	MAGAZINE

In	an	article	titled	TRACKING	THE	KILLER,	in	LIFE	magazine	Dr.	Salk	was

asked	if	his	monkey	vaccine	was	safe.	To	this	query	he	replied:

"There	is	no	question	of	‘how	safe	is	it?’	It	is	safe,	and	it	can’t	be	safer	than

safe’."

Many	people	would	seriously	like	to	believe	this	statement	but	available

scientific	facts	condemn	it	and	hold	it	up	to	ridicule.

Shortly	after	the	Salk	vaccination	program	was	swung	into	action,	the	American

Public	Health	Service	(June	23,	1955)	Announced	that	there	had	been	"168

confirmed	cases	of	poliomyelitis	among	the	vaccinated,	with	six	deaths...How

many	vaccinated	children	will	eventually	be	reported	as	developing	the	disease

is	as	yet	unknown.

"The	interval	between	inoculation	and	the	first	sign	of	paralysis	ranged	from	5	to

20	days	and	in	a	large	proportion	of	cases	it	started	in	the	limb	on	which	the

injection	had	been	given.	Another	feature	of	the	tragedy	was	that	the	numbers

 The placebo patients didn’ t find out for two years
that they had gotten fake sur gery. One member of the placebo group, T im
Perez, who had to walk with a cane before the sur gery, is now able to
play basketball with his grandchildren. He summed up the theme of this
book when he told the Discovery Health Channel: “In this world
anything is possible when you put your mind to it. I know that your mind
can work miracles.”
Studies have shown the placebo ef fect to be powerful in treating other
diseases, including asthma and Parkinson’ s. In the treatment of
depression, placebos are stars. So much so that psychiatrist W alter
Brown of the Brown University School of Medicine has proposed
placebo pills as the first treatment for patients with mild or moderate
depression. (Brown 1998) Patients would be told that they’re getting a
remedy with no active ingredient, but that shouldn’ t dampen the pills’
ef fectiveness. Studies suggest that even when people know they’re not
getting a drug, the placebo pills still work.
One indication of the power of the placebo came from a report from
the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The report
found that half of severely depressed patients taking drugs improve
versus thirty-two percent taking a placebo. (Hor gan 1999) Even that
impressive showing may underestimate the power of the placebo ef fect
because many study participants figure out they’re taking the real drug
because they experience side ef fects that are not experienced by those
taking the placebo. Once those patients realize they’re taking the drug,
i.e., once they start believing  that they’re getting the r eal  pill, they are
particularly more susceptible to the placebo ef fect.
Given the power of the placebo, it is no wonder that the $8.2 billion
antidepressant industry is under attack by critics who char ge that drugcompanies are hyping the ef fectiveness of their pills. In a 2002 article in
the American Psychological Association’ s P r evention & T r eatment,  “The
Emperor ’ s New Drugs,” University of Connecticut psychology professor
Irving Kirsch found that eighty percent of the ef fect of antidepressants,
as measured in clinical trials, could be attributed to the placebo ef fect.
(Kirsch, et al, 2002) Kirsch had to invoke the Freedom of Information
Act in 2001 to get information on the clinical trials of the top
antidepressants: these data were not forthcoming from the Food and
Drug Administration. The data show that in more than half of the clinical
trials for the six leading antidepressants, the drugs did not outperform
placebo, sugar pills. And Kirsch noted in a Discovery Health Channel
interview that “the dif ference between the response of the drugs and the
response of placebo was less than two points on average on this clinical
scale that goes from fifty to sixty points. That’ s a very small dif ference.
That dif ference clinically is meaningless.”
Another interesting fact about the ef fectiveness of antidepressants is
that they have performed better and better in clinical trials over the years,
suggesting that their placebo ef fects are in part due to savvy marketing.
The more the miracle of antidepressants was touted in the media and in
advertisements, the more ef fective they became. Beliefs are contagious!
W e now live in a culture where people believe  that antidepressants work,
and so they do.
A California interior designer, Janis Schonfeld, who took part in a
clinical trial to test the ef ficacy of Ef fexor in 1997, was just as “stunned”
as Perez when she found out that she had been on a placebo. Not only
had the pills relieved her of the depression that had plagued her for thirty
years, the brain scans she received throughout the study found that the
activity of her prefrontal cortex was greatly enhanced. (Leuchter, et al,
2002) Her improvements were not “all in her head.” When the mind
changes, it absolutely af fects your biology. Schonfeld also experienced
nausea, a common Ef fexor side ef fect. She is typical of patients who
improve with placebo treatment and then find out they were not on the
real drug—she was convinced the doctors had made a mistake in the
labeling for she “knew” she was on the drug. She insisted that the
researchers double-check their records to make absolutely sure she
wasn’ t on the drug.N o c e b o s :  T h e  P o w e r  o f  N e g a t i v e  B e l i e f s
While many in the medical profession are aware of the placebo ef fect,
few have considered its implications for self-healing. If positive thinking
can pull you out of depression and heal a damaged knee, consider what
negative thinking can do in your life. When the mind, through positive
suggestion improves health, it is referred to as the placebo ef fect.
Conversely, when the same mind is engaged in negative suggestions that
can damage health the negative ef fects are referred to as the nocebo
ef fect.
In medicine, the nocebo ef fect can be as powerful as the placebo
ef fect, a fact you should keep in mind every time you step into a doctor ’ s
of fice. By their words and their demeanor, physicians can convey hope-
deflating messages to their patients, messages that are, I believe,
completely unwarranted. Albert Mason, for example, thinks his inability
to project optimism to his patients hampered his ef forts with his
ichthyosis patients. Another example is the potential power of the
statement: “Y ou have six months to live.” If you choose to believe your
doctor ’ s message, you are not likely to have much more time on this
Earth.
I have cited the Discovery Health Channel’ s 2003 program “Placebo:
Mind Over Medicine” in this chapter because it is a good compendium
of some of medicine’ s most interesting cases. One of its more poignant
segments featured a Nashville physician, Clifton Meador, who has been
reflecting on the potential power of the nocebo ef fect for 30 years. In
1974 Meador had a patient, Sam Londe, a retired shoe salesman
suf fering from cancer of the esophagus, a condition that was at the time
considered 100 percent fatal. Londe was treated for that cancer, but
everyone in the medical community “knew” that his esophageal cancer
would recur. So it was no surprise when Londe died a few weeks after
his diagnosis.
The surprise came after Londe’ s death when an autopsy found very
little cancer in his body, certainly not enough to kill him. There were a
couple of spots in the liver and one in the lung, but there was no trace of
the esophageal cancer that everyone thought had killed him. Meador told
the Discovery Health Channel: “He died with cancer, but not from
cancer.” What did Londe die of if not esophageal cancer? Had he diedbecause he believed  he was going to die? The case still haunts Meador
three decades after Londe’ s death: “I thought he had cancer. He thought
he had cancer. Everybody around him thought he had cancer … did I
remove hope in some way?” T roublesome nocebo cases suggest that
physicians, parents, and teachers can remove hope by programming you
to believe you are powerless.
Our positive and negative beliefs not only impact our health but also
every aspect of our life. Henry Ford was right about the ef ficiency of
assembly lines, and he was right about the power of the mind: “If you
believe you can or if you believe you can’ t … you’re right.” Think about
the implications of the man who blithely drank the bacteria that medicine
had decided caused cholera. Consider the people who walk across coals
without getting burned. If they wobble in the steadfastness of their belief
that they can do it, they wind up with burned feet. Y our beliefs act like
filters on a camera, changing how you see the world. And your biology
adapts to those beliefs. When we truly recognize that our beliefs are that
powerful, we hold the key to freedom. While we cannot readily change
the codes of our genetic blueprints, we can change our minds.
In my lectures I provide two sets of plastic filters, one red and one
green. I have the audience pick one color and then look at a blank screen.
I then tell them to yell out whether the image I project next is one that
generates love or generates fear. Those in the audience that don the red
“belief” filters see an inviting picture of a cottage labeled “House of
Love,” flowers, a sunny sky and the message: “I live in Love.” Those
wearing the green filters see a threatening dark sky, bats, snakes, a ghost
hovering outside a dark, gloomy house and the words: “I live in fear.” I
always get enjoyment out of seeing how the audience responds to the
confusion when half yell out: “I live in love,” and the other half, in equal
certainty, yells out: “I live in fear” in response to the same image.
Then I ask the audience to change to the

someone when you can do it yourself and make an endless number of gallons?
LE: How long can you store this solution?
Russ: About two years if it is store d correctly. It is extremely susceptible to light and must be kept in dark amber bottles. Bob
recommends, ideally, that you drink it fresh.
Bob: People ask us if there are side effects from this. Yes, there can be bad side effects, but we do our best to avoid them, and we
will address that. One of the side effects, which is universal, is detoxiﬁcation. When detoxiﬁcation is occurring, which means that all of
the dead organisms in your body are trying to be removed by your liver, you can feel sick, get rashes, skin eruptions, low grade
fevers and feelings of depression and anxiety. If you are not alcoholic, don't have cirrhosis of the liver or AIDS, and are not on your
deathbed, you can detoxify easier. We try to make this safe for anyone, anywhere. First, do no harm.
The second side effect is electroporation. This is where any medicines, herbs or enzymes that you have ingested can, in some
people, become ampliﬁed 20 to 30 times. We have stressed over and over not to take any medicines! For example, if you have garlic
in your system, a little bit of it is tolerable. But garlic has sulfonhydroxyl in it, which is a deadly poison. Gangsters and soldiers used to
rub their bullets with it before they ﬁred, so if you were nicked, it would kill you. Organic gardeners use garlic now that they can't get
DDT. It kills everything. Garlic also kills lots of brain cells, which causes desynchronization of the left and right brain hemispheres.
Pilots are not permitted to ingest garlic before their ﬂights because it slows down their reaction times. Do not touch garlic! It is not a
health food.
We tell people to eliminate everything that is known to be toxic in large quantities, including certain vitamins, such as Vitamin A and
niacin, and also garlic.
LE: Let's say a person who considers him or herself to be healthy desires to use this technology to maintain health and get even
healthier. In this situation, how would one use these products?
Bob: First, for several days prior to starting this program, you must avoid ingesting anything containing medicinal herbs, foreign or
domestic, or potentially toxic medication, nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs, laxatives, tonics, garlic and certain potentially toxic
vitamins, because blood electriﬁcatio n will cause electroporation, which we have already talked about, and which is lethal. You can
read "Electroporation, A General Phenomenon for Manipulating Cells and Tissues," by J.C. Weaver, Journal of Cellular Biology, Book
51, page 426 (1993), Harvard/MIT. Both the magnetic pulser and the blood puriﬁer can cause electroporation.
Second, you have to take time to personally work with the machines. You may take the treatments for three weeks and then stop for
a couple of weeks. During that time, use other things like the ozonized water. We mix and match. It is important to keep things in
balance. We watch how the body is doing. Remember, this is something  that will maintain and enhance your health for the long term.
This technology is something you would want to have with you always, especially with the potential of the viruses, which may be
coming.
LE: Bob, would you address ozone machines. Lots of people have these.
Bob: There are devices on sale even as we speak that put out toxic amounts of ozone into the air. These devices are lethal. You can
drink ozonized water. You can inject ozone into your blood. You can take rectal enemas and get the ozone into your system through
your intestines, but you cannot breathe it. If you breathe it, it is toxic! If you can smell the slightest traces of ozone in the air, that
means there is more than the.06 parts per million allowed by OSHA. These devices will oxidize your lung tissue, causing
hemorrhaging, impairment and swell ing. Do not breathe ozone! And still, the FDA allows these devices to be sold because that helps
to give holistic medicine a bad name.
Russ makes a wonderful ozone generator. It has a charcoal ﬁlter that reabsorbs the ozone as it bubbles through the water so it can't
be breathed in. The other ozonizers  you see are usually using ultraviolet, which is only 2% effective. When you use cold corona
electrical discharge to make ozone, you are not turning the nitrogen in the air into nitrous oxide and nitric acid by-products. In other
words, you are not killing yourself.
Rachael Carson, in her book Silent Spring, mentions that a lot of women have so much DDT in their fatty tissue that they are unable
to nurse their ﬁrstborn children. Their milk will be toxic. Ozone will remove the DDT  in two to three days.
LE: So all of these machines are portable, and you can carry them with you if you want to travel?
Bob: Absolutely! You can go anywhere, even into the jungles of Africa where HIV is really a problem.
Russ: We have a number of customers traveling abroad, and they take these units with them. They purify their own water. The
particle size of the colloids is important to mention here. It is very important that the size of the colloids be submicron so that they do
not get lodged in the skin tissue. What is important here is to make sure you are creating silver ions, which by nature are submicron.
Using the electrical process, you are creating silver ions, so particle size is not an issue.
LE: Russ, my wife takes about 20 supplements a day. How will she be able to use the machine?
Russ: Well, it is very interesting. Some of our customers have told us they have read what Bob is saying and have decided to get off
all supplements and eat only naturally healthy foods. They have reported that just by doing that alone, they feel wonderful. That was
their ﬁrst revelation. Where they once spent $300 per month on vitamins, they don't have to anymore.
LE: People don't need any kind of vitamins?10/30/24, 4:43 PM Health-Science-Spirit - Bob Beck Interview
https://health-science-spirit.com/Diseases/Cancer/Bob-Beck-Interview.html 4/5Bob: I would suggest that they take good minerals, and your body absolutely needs Vitamin C and some of the B-complex vitamins. It
is up to each individual to make that decision responsibly.
People may want to do liver cleanses and ﬂushes ﬁrst. We have found that people get very good results by doing that. It is a gentle
process for the long term. Let your body become acclimated to the great power that these machines can offer, and continue working
with them. W e get excellent results.
Russ: I want to tell you what happened with my wife's chronic fatigue. Within two months of using Bob's unit, her chronic fatigue was
gone! She is now the Co-President of our company, and she is the brains behind everything. She is incredible!
So far, we have treated eight PCR-tested, HIV positive customers. After treatments ranging in length between two weeks and two and
a half months, they each went to zero, below detectable levels. We were absolutely astounded to get that type of documentation.
These are separate from the AIDS patients Bob has mentioned. We did our own testing. Many doctors, particularly naturopathic
doctors, are trying out our technology, and their patients are getting well.
The blood of an AIDS patient is extraordinary to look at under a microscope. What you see will just shock you. There are life forms in
their blood that look like octopuses with a hundred arms, and there are things creeping around. Then we look at their blood after a
few weeks, and all of these things are disappearing. Their blood returns to the natural, healthy state it was when they were born.
Bob has opened us up to a wonderful way in which each of us can take back our power. We cannot always be under the power of
some other authority. That is not a spiritually free state of consciousness.
The timing is perfect for this. I have seen hundreds and thousands of people getting well from so many different illnesses, even ones
we didn't think the technology would be able to ef fect. Here is the key: Once the immune system is boosted, the body heals.
Bob: God designed us that way. Let me summarize by reading a paragraph from my book. "Why haven't doctors revealed this before
now? Because it has been in the patent ofﬁce. It has been in the journals. It has popped up over year to year. A patient cured is a
medical customer lost. When actualized, this data could interrupt HMO proﬁts, disrupt medical pharmaceutical cartels, abort all
biological schemes, eliminate most drugs, medicines, debilities and early deaths, wipe out hospitals and health care capital
investments, minimize insurance mechanizations, dramatically abate sickness and suffering, plus absolutely imperil social security
futures with bankruptcies." My book is soon to come out. I have personally taken time to look into this before I put my reputation on it.
And now that I believe in it, I am rather evangelical about it.
