 should really pass out through the
kidneys and the bowels. Read the paragraph on
Boils.
ELEPHANTIASIS:
Inflammation and obstruction of the lymphatic 61 30 32
glands usually because of the presence of inorganic 40
waste in the system.
EMPHYSEMA:
(The word means "to inflate"). A condition 87
resulting from an excess of air or gas in the tissues,
usually in the lungs, or the presence of air or gas in
normally airless tissues.
ENCEPHALITIS:
Inflammation of the brain as a result of a 61 30 40 37
disturbed or unhealthy condition of the nerve system.
Two ounces of parsley juice three times daily,
morning, noon and night and repeated enemas,
together with the indicated juices, have proved
beneficial.
98 ENURESIS:
Incontinence of urine, frequently due to the 30 40 29
presence of inorganic oxalic acid crystals in the
kidneys or bladder. (See chapter on Oxalic Acid.)
EPILEPSY:
Nervous spasms sometimes resulting from 61 15 2 30
excessive toxemia and starvation of the nervous 40
system. It is sometimes caused by the presence of
worms in the colon. One such instance was that of a
young woman about 26 years of age. After the 28th
consecutive daily colonic irrigation, a mass of worms
as large as a man's fist passed. A few more colonics
made a clean sweep of them, and her epileptic
seizures never recurred. This may have been a
coincidence, but many more such cases were
definitely educational.
ERYSIPELAS:
Same as Eczema but accompanied by fever. The 61 2 30 40
cause of both is the same.
EYETROUBLE:
See paragraph on Cataracts and read section on 1 61 50
Endive Juice.
FATIGUE:
An indication that the cells of the body are not 1 61 30
getting sufficient live atoms in the food to furnish
the constant flow of new energy needed. Fatigue is
one of the precursors of disease. The cumulative
effect is the destruction of tissue cells and the
consequent accumulation of waste in the body; if
not removed, this will be scavenged by germs and
bacteria. Rest, sleep, cleansing of the colon, and
plenty of juices have been found to be the best
method to overcome fatigue.
FATTY DEGENERATION:
Excessive formation of fatty cells and tissues 61 15 30 42
around an organ.
FEVER:
The name orthodoxically given to body 22 23 24
temperature which rises above normal when Nature
attempts to burn up or incinerate waste matter in
99 the system. When there is no excessive waste matter
and the body cells are properly nourished there is
no need for fever. It has been found that by the use
of enemas the fevered condition has been alleviated
within an amazingly short time.
GALL BLADDERTROUBLE and
GALLSTONES:
Cooked fats and fried foods are the most common 30 61 40 29
cause of a disorganized gall bladder function, see 23
paragraph on Biliousness. Gallstones and gravel, (in glass of
however, are the accumulation of inorganic calcium hot water)
and other inorganic matter collecting in the gall
bladder due to the inability of the system to
assimilate them. All starch, bread and grain products
are full of such inorganic calcium. Eating plenty of
these may tend to furnish a plentiful crop of
gallstones and gravel. The juice of a lemon in a glass
of hot water, without sweetening taken several times
a day for 3 or 4 weeks has helped to dissolve these
stones, when the other juices indicated herein were
used daily over the same period of time. Nature never
intended that man's gall bladder be removed by an
operation.The gall bladder is essential to the proper
functioning of the liver. Our body is our own,
however, and if we are, through ignorance of its
functioning, ready and willing to submit it to the
practicing of surgery, there is no one we can blame
but ourselves.
GASTRITIS:
Distress due to excessive formation of gas in the 61 15 30
system as a result of the improper combination of
foods. All flour, grain, and sugar products may have
a tendency to cause gastritis, and alcohol may do it
quicker than any of these. Hot condiments,
consisting of hot peppers, mustard, vinegar, tobacco,
etc., are also responsible for this condition. Raw
foods, grated or chopped as finely as possible, have
been found repeatedly to be more beneficial than
cooked foods.
100 GLANDS:
Every gland in the body has a definite relation
to every other gland, either stimulating it, inhibiting
it or in some way or another exercising a controlling
influence on it. Please read carefully the section on
the ENDOCRINE GLANDS. Understand the
influence of the various Glands on one another. It
would be foolish for anyone to have a "Gland
Operation" without realizing what effect this would
have on the rest of the body. It would also be wise to
learn how to nourish the glands so that a complete
balance may be established between them. Learn
about the mineral and chemical elements composing
the glands and the juices which have been found to
be most efficient in nourishing them. Send for a copy
of the ENDOCRINE GLAND CHART alluded to
in the preceding chapter above referred to, frame it,
and hang it where it can be studied constantly. It has
saved many an unnecessary operation.
GOITER:
Enlargement of the thyroid gland due to lack of
organic iodine in the diet.The use of chemical iodine,
and chemically prepared potassium iodide, is
detrimental to the system as they are inorganic, and
may sooner or later result in deposits which may
cause damage to tissues in the body. The finest
organic iodine is found in dulse, sea lettuce, and
kelp. (See chapter on Seaweed.)
GONORRHEA:
The result of the propagation of the gonococcus
germ due to an impure blood stream and the presence
of morbid matters as its feeding ground in the body,
usually centering in the region of the genitals.
Physicians in France have found that Sandalwood
Oil in soluble capsules has proved of much benefit.
GOUT:
Inflammation of the ligaments of a joint or bone,
or bone lining, due to excessive use of alcohol and
other stimulants. Gout and rheumatism are almost
identical twins. 6159 2

breads and other concentrated starches, forming (in glass of

HAIR:
Read the section on ALFALFA JUICE. 53 66
HALITOSIS:
This word means "bad breath". It results from 61
the retention of fermented and putrefied food waste
in the body. The decay of teeth and so-called
infection of tissues is purely coincidental, also
resulting from such retention of waste.
HAY FEVER:
Abnormal secretions of mucus in the eyes, nose, 61 11 30 40
and air passages due to the excessive use of milk, 15 50 41
starches, and grain products. We have found that it
is much more constructive to avoid hypodermic
injections than it is to avoid fresh air. See paragraph
on Asthma, which applies equally to. Hay Fever.
HEADACHES:
Any one of more than 200 manifestations that 61 2 30 55
the body is overloaded with waste matter. Nature's 15
warning to give the body a thorough cleansing, thus
reestablishing the equilibrium of the blood and
releasing its excessive pressure in the regions of the
head.
HEARTBURN: See PYROSIS.
HEART TROUBLE:
Usually results from impurities clogging up the 61 2 30
blood vessels which in turn place an excessive strain
on the heart. After all, the heart is only about the
size of one's fist, it weighs only about 10 ounces,
but nevertheless pumps 6 ounces of blood every time
it contracts. This does not seem much, but
cumulatively it amounts to about 5,000 gallons every
24 hours under normal conditions. Under stress,
however, this volume may reach as high as 25,000
gallons in the 24 hours. During the normal sedentary
lifetime of threescore years and ten there would be


laboratory process, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a tiny piece of a gene was
taken from a particle that didn't appear to belong to the host's genetic code. From
this, the virus hunters concluded that they were dealing with foreign genetic material
from a not-yet-di scovered virus.
But for the reasons repeatedly mentioned in this book, we must seriously doubt
that a hepatitis C virus had actually been found.10 PCR is much too sensitive. It
detects gene-fragments (DNA or RNA particles) which in themsel ves do not constitute
a virus-but which are claimed to be parts of a virus that has not been identified. In
any case, certainly nobody has yet managed to detect a corresponding virus structure
in the blood serum of so-called hepatitis C patients. As with HN, the virus purification
necessary for a clear identification has not taken place. And there is no paper
showing that a so-called high viral load correlates with viruses visible through an
electron microscope (viral load is the laboratory parameter measured with PCR-the
surrogate marker-upon which basis doctors decide whether to prescribe medications
or not).
This even led Michael Houghton, said to be a co-discoverer of the HC virus, to
put forward the key question before a large audience at a major hepatitis C congress
in Paris in 2001: "Where is the hepatitis C virus? Has anybody seen it?"11
Apart from this, the genetic snippets built up into the hepatitis C virus existed in
the apes' liver tissue in such small quantities that they should not have been
155 Chapter 4
considered a cause of a liver disease. But Chiron saw an entirely different picture :
there was the evil hepatitis C virus (HCV). And so, on the basis of these gene parts,
they began to build their HCV antibody test. The Procleix test alone, with which
blood bottles are said to be tested for the presence of HCV antibodies, now brings in
more than $60 million per quarter for Chiron.12
Even blatant contradictions are gladly overlooked in this context. This piece of a
gene said to come from a HCV can only be found in about half of so-called hepatitis
patients. 13 And a 1997 study printed in the European Journal of Clinical Chemistry
(today Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) shows that the gene particles
officially classified as the hepatitis C virus had also been found in those who had
negative HCV antibody tests. Generally, researchers contend that there is still no
convincing evidence that the gene-snippets are indeed a pathogenic hepatitis C
virus.l4 1s
The virus theory does not fulfill any of Koch's three postulates, which must be
fulfilled for virus identification. The first postul<;�te requires that a truly pathogenic
virus can be found in large quantities in every patient (this is not even close to the
case). The second postulate is that the virus can be isolated and made to grow (but
a hepatitis C virus has never been found in an intact form). And the third postulat e
says that this isolated pathogen must be able to trigger the same disease in animal
models like chimpanzees. In this case, though, no isolated virus was transmitted,
but rather blood; and there was no proper control group either (in which animals
would be given blood-but without what was suspected to be the pathoge n).16
Nonetheless, the virus hunters assert that the hepatitis C virus is passed on from
junkies through contaminated injections (the CDC even blamed this for most HCV
infections in the USA)Y But a 1999 study published in the American Journal of
Epidemiology gives us another picture. The paper's goal was namely to find out if
needle exchange programs, through which drug addicts are provided with clean
needles, help to prevent HCV transmission.
The experiment couldn't confirm this theory. Junkies who used these needle
exchange programs tested positive more often than "injecting drug users" (IDU's)
who had no access to the programs. The researchers concluded that these programs
do not help to prevent a so-called HCV infection.18 19 In other words, even when
junkies constantly use clean needles so-called HCV antibody tests nonetheless (or
with this specific study, especially) still come out positive.
Nevertheless, the hepatitis C antibody tests have been widely used (the blood
test was developed in 1994). So, the world now also had a hepatitis C epidemic to
contend with. Patients who test positive are stamped as "HCV positive" and it's
hammered into their heads that they are carriers of a liver-destroying virus, which
alleged ly, after a dormant phase of around 30 years, triggers liver cirrhosis (the end-
156 Hepatitis C: Toxins Such as Alcohol, Heroin, and Prescription Drugs Suffice as Explanations
stage of liver damage). The patients are consequently bombarded over a long period
with medications, which ultimately damages the very organ in which chemicals are
metabol ized: the liver.
Most HCV positive patients have no disease symptoms at all (not even in the
liver!),20 and yet they are treated with toxic medications that destroy liver cells and
the livers of already sick patients are additionally damaged with medications. The
tragic end result of such a treatment was made clear by a study, conducted by Jay
Hoofnagle and published in the NEJM in 1995. The active substance fialuridine
(brand name Fiau) was tried out on hepatitis B patients. Five patients died and two
could only be saved by liver transplants.21 It is well worth noting that none of the
patients had any physical (clinical) complaints before the medicine treatment.
Those who still consider that medications are active in some way should know
that in hepatitis C research there are no placebo-controlled randomized double
blind studies with clinical endpoints. This means that, as with AIDS or cancer
research, no hepatitis C clinical trials look at two groups of subjects randomly
assigned to receive either the active substance or an inactive preparation (placeb o).
Neither doctor nor test subject (double blind) should know who's taking the active
substance and who the placebo. The trials should run for long periods (for hepatitis
C around 30 years) and be oriented on clinical endpoints (e.g., survival time). Only
then can it be shown whether patients treated with the medications actually do live
longer. But without such placebo studies, statements on the effectiveness or a
medication's life-prolonging effects are impossible.
Hepatitis C Can Also Be Explain ed Without a Virus
Just as with HIV I AIDS, there are numerous peculiarities in the theory that a
virus triggers hepatitis C. There are patients whose elevated liver values can be
observed using traditional blood tests, but they test negative on the antibody test.
This prompts some virus-fixated researchers to speculate wildly that these could be
"occult" hepatitis C viruses22-instead of suspecting that perhaps there's no evil virus
at work here whatsoever.
There are further inconsistencies. As studies show, it's not uncommon for HCV
positive individuals to later, incomprehensi bly, test negative, as if by magic, without
having gone through any treatment. 23
Most HCV positive patients don't even suffer from any disease symptoms. And, as
is the rule, they only have real liver damage if they have consumed alcohol and
drugs. Here, there is a very conspicuous overlap: almost 80% of drug addicts are
HCV positive.24 To this Rainer Laufs, director of the Institute of Microbiology at the
157 Chapter 4
University of Hamburg and one of the leading advocates of the view that hepatitis C
is caused by a virus, says: "It is worth noting that intravenous drug abuse plays such
a large role in the spread of HCV infection."25
Mainstream medicine should ask whether the monocausal virus model for
hepatitis C really makes sense. Especially considering that if hepatitis Cis indeed a
contagious viral disease, the number of cases would show a bell shape: at the
beginning a rise in the number of hepatitis infections and-once people have built up
immunity against the allegedly evil agent-a following decline. But this is not the
case. Rather, the number of those officially declared HCV patients in German y, for
example, has remained at 400,000 to 500,000 for a long time.26
Another worthy investigation would be to look as whether toxins like alcohol,
heroin or medications are, at the very least, co-factors for what is called hepatitis C,
if not the fundamental cause. It's fully justifiable to assume that substances like
alcohol damage liver cells, cause the production of the genetic snippets on a cellular
level, and are then picked up by PCR tests and falsely interpreted as HCV panicles
by orthodox researchers.
Last but certainly not least, no virus is necessary whatsoever to explain the 30
years that it takes on average until the affected patient's liver gives up the ghost
(liver cirrhosis). Sooner or later, toxic chemical substances like alcohol, heroin or
cocaine take care of this on their own (without viral help), by gradually unleashing
their destructive effects.
Unfortunately, these simple truths are words in the wind, ignored by the virus
hunters. Since the 1980s, hepatitis doctors have been so fixated on antiviral
medications that the headlines in the newspapers sound like advertisements


 fond of the Westsoy & Co. fruit-
flavored ones, and my favorite is cherry.
5. New potatoes: I always make a ton for snacking. These are filling
and satiating, especially when dipped in hummus, salsa, or ketchup.
6. Air-popped popcorn with no oil or butter: I’ve never been a fan of
popcorn myself, but I know too many people who go goo-goo over
popcorn as a snack, so it’ s good to have around for healthy guests.
7. Pretzels—whole grain: Our shelves at home usually have a box or
two of Snyders (of Hanover).
8. Whole grain newtons: Barbara's makes a raspberry newton that is
clean and has zero fat. What a great way to eat a cookie!
9. Chips: Very few on the market have less than 2.5 grams of fat per
100 calories; Guiltless Gourmet makes a good one. Otherwise,
create your own out of pita bread or corn tortillas. Dip them in
vitamin-rich salsa.
10. Sliced heirloom tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and cilantro: In
the heat of summertime, these refrigerated babies will make you
think you’ve died and gone to heaven.
11. Leftover ears of corn: Sometimes I think these are just as good
cold as they are warm—especially in the middle of an Austin
summer.
12. Canned fruit: Sometimes I crave a can of mandarin oranges,
pears, peaches, or pineapples. However, don’ t drink the liquid the
fruit comes in if it’ s syrup.
13. Homemade trail mix: 2 cups of Cheerios, ½ cup raw old-
fashioned oats, ½ cup chopped dates, ¼ cup raisins, ¼ cup chopped
walnuts, ¼ cup chopped almonds: This is a nice concoction to take
with you on camping trips, when you’re traveling, or when you’re
just hungry in your own house.
14. Bowl of healthy cereal: I usually munch on a bowl of cereal at
some point during the day in addition to my Rip’ s Big Bowl for
breakfast.15. Salad: I can usually tell when I haven’ t been eating enough leafy
greens because I find myself craving a salad as a snack—I quickly
pour an Engine 2 salad dressing over some mixed greens or
shredded romaine lettuce along with two or three sliced vegetables.
16. Frozen grapes: These little nuggets of nature make great all-
natural popsicles. Pick 30 or 40 of f the stems and place them in a
bowl in the freezer—I can snack on these all day.
E2 DESSER TS.
I think it’ s fair to say most people have a sweet tooth. Myself, I had one
coming right out of the gates: My first words weren’ t “mama” or “dada.”
They were “more s’mores.” No kidding. As I grew older, it didn’ t matter
how much food was in front of me, I always made room for dessert. It was
as though I had a second stomach designated for dessert only.
Remember that sugars and sweeteners are full of empty calories. They
do have a time and a place in the E2 Diet, however, and that time and place
is dessert. If you’re anything like me, you need a little something to soothe
your sweet tooth (or that second stomach). So here is a smor gasbord of
delectable, healthy options to suit your fancy.
E2 Chocolate Knockouts!
Besides tearing into s’mores, when I was growing up I could polish of f
all the chocolate brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and puddings I could get
my little paws on. Even though the following recipes are all healthy—
they’ll taste as good as your memories of all those other foods that were
loaded with nonsense.
E2 Basics Chocolate Mousse
Who doesn’ t love a great-tasting, healthy chocolate pudding? This is our
answer. Scottie suckered our battalion chief (the renowned plant-hater and
hard-core meat eater) into having some. He thought it was regular chocolate
pudding, never knew the dif ference, and doesn’ t to this day!
Serves 2
1 package Silken Lite tofu
2 tablespoons cocoa powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled.
Sliced Strawberries and Chocolate Sauce
The new flagship Whole Foods Market in Austin resembles an amusement
park of food: There are bars for pizza, sushi, Italian food, raw food, salad,
sandwiches, smoothies, gelato and ice cream, and the grand finale, a
chocolate bar featuring a fountain dripping with luscious chocolate; you can
dip anything you want into it.
The chocolate fountain always inspires me to think about mixing
chocolate with every possible food, although in my case, it’ s hard to beat
fresh strawberries, which, when I’m not at the store, I dip in this wonderful
homemade (dairy-free) chocolate sauce.
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ cup water
3 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups strawberries, sliced
Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water until there are no
lumps. Whisk in the remaining water, nectar or syrup, and cocoa. Cook in a
heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the sauce
thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Drizzle the sauce
over the strawberries.
Variations:
Stir 1 teaspoon espresso or liqueur into the sauce after removing from
heat.
Substitute any fruit for strawberries.
Dark Chocolate Br ownies
These brownies are the creation of Engine 2 participant and baker
extraordinaire L ydia Heckendorf. L ydia started cooking two years ago andis a natural at knowing how to make food so terrific tasting no one knows
it’s healthy as well.
Makes about 20 br ownies
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup raw sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon Ener -G egg replacer mixed with ¼ cup water
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons soy milk
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
1½ cups 60 percent (or greater) cocoa powder
1½ cups (dairy-free) chocolate chips or chunks
Preheat oven to 375º. Combine the sugars and applesauce with an
electric or handheld mixer. Beat in the Ener -G mixture, soy milk, vanilla,
and vinegar. Combine the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) in a
separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, then
stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a sprayed 9-by-13-inch
baking dish. Bake for 16–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean.
Simply Chocolate
Here’ s the easiest dessert of all: Buy any (milk-free) chocolate bar that is 70
percent cocoa or greater. But use restraint! Don’ t eat the whole bar!
E2 Fresh Fruit and Fruit Bowls
Fresh fruit is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth and load up on
healthy calories filled with antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals.
Fruit Bowl with Oat-Nut Topping
Dressing up fruit with some oats and ground nuts adds an interesting and
fun twist to fruit.Serves 2
2 bananas, sliced
1 can mandarin orange slices, drained
¼ cup old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Place the fruit in serving bowls and sprinkle with oats and nuts.
Variation:
Use any favorite sliced fruits to assemble your bowl.
Fruit and Citrus
Slice fresh fruit and place on a small dessert plate. Top with citrus juice or
citrus zest, and finely chopped mint.
Variations:
Apple slices and lemon juice
Mango slices and lime juice
Kiwifruit slices and orange juice
Bananas slices and grapefruit juice
Blueberries and lemon juice
Fruit Bowl with Soy Drizzle
Add a little soy yogurt to fresh or frozen fruit to dress it up for another
entertaining twist.
Serves 2
2 bananas, sliced
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
4–6-ounce container of vanilla soy yogurt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Place the fruit in a bowl. Combine the other ingredients and spoon over
the fruit.
Sorbet and FruitSimply delicious! Top a scoop of sorbet with fresh or frozen fruit. Use
contrasting colors for presentation.
Fruit and Nuts
Enjoy a piece of fruit with six to ten nuts. But remember, nuts are adorable
little fat bombs, so use good judgment. And think about getting nuts that are
raw and unsalted. Before eating, place them in the toaster oven until
browned to bring out the nutty flavor. Just eat a bite of fruit, then a few
nuts, and so on.
Variations:
Nectarines and almonds
Apples and cashews
Bananas and walnuts
Blueberries and pecans
E2 Cobblers, Cookies, and Pies
Scottie is the master baker at Engine 2. He has an uncanny ability to
figure out what he wants to make, and poof! It

with the switch OFF, first, then ON. Move the frequency up and
repeat. Continue until you hear resonance. Stop immedi ately.
Rest your skin and go back down to the nonresonant fre quency
region. Move up in smaller steps this time. Repeat and repeat
until you feel sure you know just where the resonance begins. But
where does it end?
Start testing well above the suspected range taking big steps
downward until you reach a resonant frequency. Rest and repeat
until you find the upper limit of resonant frequencies. Record the
bandwidth, for example, 1009-1112 KHz.BIOELECTRONICS
507Lesson Twenty One
Purpose:  To see if similar living things interfere with each
other when put on the plate together.
Materials:  Two identical living insects or very small living
things.
Method:  Find the broadcast range of each one separately and
then together on the plate.
Note:  Identical living things do not interfere with each oth-
ers' frequencies.
Lesson Twenty Two
Purpose:  To see if different living things interfere with each
other when put on the plate together.
Method:  Find the lower and upper end of the broadcast
range of two different living things, such as a fly and a beetle or
2 kinds of flies or beetles. Then put them on the plate together.
Notice there is no resonance in the accustomed range for either of
them. They are interfering with each other on the plate.
Now add the 2 lower ends, then the two upper ends. Also
subtract the 2 lower ends, then the two upper ends. For example
imagine two insects, one with a spectrum of 1000 to 1090 KHz,
the other with a range of 1050 to 1190 KHz. Adding the lower
ends gives us 2050 KHz. Subtracting the lower ends gives us 50
KHz. Adding the upper ends gives 2280. Subtracting the upper
ends gives 100. Now search for resonance at 50, 100, 2050,
2280 KHz. (These last two may be outside the range of your
frequency generator. Choose more primitive life forms which
have lower frequency bandwidths to stay within your limit.)
Notice that you hear resonance at exactly these frequencies
and not above or below them. This is evidence for modulation of
the frequencies: namely fusing them together.THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
508Lesson Twenty Three
Purpose:  To find your own bandwidth  of emitted frequen-
cies.
Materials:  A frequency generator that goes up to 10 MHz. If
yours only goes to 2 MHz you can still investigate the lower end
of your band.
Method:  You do not need to put yourself on the plate, since
you are already there by being in the circuit at the handhold.
However, if you are measuring someone else, they can simply
touch the plate with a finger. Attach the frequency generator to
the circuit at the handhold.
Since human adults begin to emit at about 1560 KHz, start
searching at 1550, going upward in 1 KHz steps until you hear
resonance.
Younger or healthier humans start emitting at a lower fre-
quency and sometimes end at a higher frequency. In other words,
they broadcast on a wider band.
Very young infants begin their band at about 1520 KHz.
Could you ever regain this ability?
Most adults terminate at 9375 KHz
By eliminating molds from my diet, killing as many para sites
and removing as many toxins as I became aware of, I have been
able to expand my bandwidth  from an initial 1562-9457 KHz in
1990 to 1520-9580 KHz in 1994! I hope this challenges you to
accomplish a health improvement reflected in an even broader
bandwidth for yourself.
Lesson Twenty Four
Purpose:  To find the effect of a variety of things on the lower
end of your spectrum, such as body temperature, eating, time of
day, rainy weather, feeling sick. Notice that you may not change
for weeks at a time, then suddenly see a shrinking of your
bandwidth. You may assume you have eaten a mold.BIOELECTRONICS
509Search for mold frequencies from 75 KHz to 295 KHz. Or test in
your liver with mold samples. If this is positive go on a mold
free diet—watching carefully for mold in your white blood cells.
Even after removing the mold from your diet, so that no molds
appear in your white blood cells, notice that your band width
does not recover. It regularly takes 2-3 weeks for mine to
recover.
Surely, this sheds light on the poisonous effect of eating bad
food.
Lesson Twenty Five
Purpose:  To find an emission spectrum using a saliva sam-
ple.
Materials:  A regular frequency generator.
Method:  Search for the bottom of the resonant frequency
band as in the previous lesson.
You may store it in the refrigerator for a few weeks without
seeing a change. After that the band begins to shrink.
Lesson Twenty Six
Purpose:  To observe the effect of dying on the bandwidth.
Method:  Freeze the insect  you tested in Lesson Twenty to
kill it humanely. Repeat the search for its bandwidth. Note the
bandwidth has become very narrow.
Note the bandwidth  also depends on the accuracy of your
particular frequency generator.
Lesson Twenty Seven
Purpose:  To find unknown invaders of your body.
Method:  Start at 900 KHz and proceed down to 77 KHz in 1
KHz steps, to search for all pathogens. If you find a resonating
frequency, go to the Pathogen Frequency Chart (page 561) toTHE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
510identify likely candidates for it. Verify the identity of the in vader
by using a slide or culture specimen. If your pathogen re mains
unidentified, add it to the chart. This lets you determine whether
the next illness is new or a recurrence of this one. Or just kill it.
Use the frequency generator at one pathogen's frequency.
Wait ten minutes  and retest all of the ones you found. Only that
one will be gone. Now zap, wait ten minutes, and test again for
all of the ones you found. Notice they are all gone. After one
hour, search yet again for the pathogens you had. Any that are
back must have come from an internal source not reached by the
zapper current, like from the bowel  or an abscess.
Lesson Twenty Eight
Purpose:  To observe the action of a positive offset fre quency
on a very small animal. Does the animal die or is it just
incapacitated?
Materials:  A slug or small earthworm.
Method:  Place the small animal in a plastic container like a
cottage cheese  carton. Add a few tsp. of water to wet the bot tom.
Attach a metal teaspoon to each of the generator clips. Place
them on opposite sides in the carton and fasten with tape. Set the
generator to positive offset at a frequency of about 30 KHz and 5
to 10 volts. Experiment with different voltages and compare
effectiveness. Measure the time it takes for the animal to seem
lifeless. You may try to revive it by keeping it for some time in
the presence of food. Retest its emission band.
Lesson Twenty Nine
Purpose:  To kill the bacteria in dairy products.
Materials:  A glass of regular pasteurized milk, a carton of
cottage cheese. A zapper.BIOELECTRONICS
511Method:  Search for Salmonellas  and Shigellas  first in the
milk and cottage cheese. Search by frequency, using the chart, or
with slides of these bacteria. If you don't find any, search dif-
ferent dairy foods until you find some bacteria. Attach metal
teaspoons to the red and black leads of the generator. Place them
inside the milk glass or cottage cheese carton, across from each
other. Secure with masking tape. Attach the zapper. Zap them for
7 minutes. Remove the electrodes and wait 5 minutes. Test again
for the same bacteria. They should be gone (but the food is not
safe to eat due to the metal released from the tea spoons).
These experiments point to some exciting possibilities. Per-
haps water supplies as well as foods and medicines could be
sterilized this way. Perhaps sewage could be treated more effi-
ciently, electrically. Best of all, maybe you could protect your-
self from unsanitary products. If you do decide to explore this
possibility, remember not to put metals in your mouth or food.
Nor to use currents greater than 10 milliamps, or for longer than
10 minutes.THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES

Healing Our Inner Needs
ALL OF US bring needs to relationships, but they don’t have to turn into
attachment. Attachment is created when needs aren’ t understood and faced.
Needs you place  on your partner  never really get resolved; there fore even if
your partner bends over backward to satisfy every need you have, the final
outcome will be the same as if none of your needs was met: you will be left
to confront why you have such needs. This “why” is answered by
examining how you feel about being in separation, for the underlying
anxiety of separation from God, spirit, and Self is what created need in the
first place.
When you heal separation, your needs will not r eflect fear and insecurity.
Relationship is meant to heal separation; therefore the proper attitude
toward need is that you want to heal. However, in many relatio nships there
is a confusing mismatch betwee n what two people actually consider most
important. How can neediness be healed when there is constant jockeying
over what two people want? We have to make a distinction between
external needs, like food and shelter, and inner needs. Inner needs come
down to what makes you feel secure, as tested in this questionnaire.
PART ONE
Look at the following statements—preferably with your beloved—and
check the conclusion, right or left, that applies best to you. Answer each
item even if both alternatives seem remote or improbable.
1. I would be mortified if my friends found out that I
lost all my money.    or     had plastic sur gery.2. I would rather
be pr omoted at work.    or     be at my ideal weight.
3. I’d be a lot better of f if I spent more time
getting back into shape.    or     improving my diet.
4. I would rather be
respected.    or     accepted.
5. I’d keep it a secret if I was
looking for a new job.    or     planning to have an affair.
6. I’d like to have my children look back on me as a parent who taught
them
right fr om wr ong.    or     not to hurt others.
7. In a flood I’d like to be the one who
rescued the victims.    or     shelter ed the homeless.
8. My problems would be solved if only I had
more money.    or     more self-understanding.
9. You’re my friend if you
back me up.    or     listen to me.
10. If I failed a test at school, it meant that I was
not pr epared.    or     not in the mood.
11. The worst thing my enemies could say about me is that I’m
weak and incompetent.    or     selfish and uncaring.
12. In my nightmare the whole world thinks I’m
stupid.     or     ugly.
13. I’d rather be
productive.    or     happy.Now calculate two totals—all your points from the left column and all those
from the right. In evaluating your score, we will consider the left-hand
column male and the right-hand female.
If you ar e a woman  your score from the right-hand column will tend to be
more than that from the left-hand. If you ar e a man  your score from  the left-
hand column will tend to be more than that from the right -hand. This
difference alone can cause conflict in a relationship. We were all shaped by
society to expect security from dif ferent sources.
Men tend to find security in power, career, skills, information,
intelligence, winning, and physical strength. Women tend to find security in
family, a strong mate, sharing, communication, their own emotions, and
being loved.
If you have more than five answers from the column that is not your
gender, you are likely to be able to define your needs without reference to
society’ s standa rds. If you have  more than eight answers from  the right-
hand column, your feminine nature is quite strong. Man or woman, you put
a great emphasis on your emotions and sense of well-being. Self-
understanding is one of your highest values; you put your own fulfillment
ahead of external motivations.
Now compare your score with your partner ’s. There is no right or wrong
match here, but your scores say a lot about the dynamic of your
relationship. A marriage in whic h the woman scores high on the male while
the man scores high on the female often implies an exchange of social
models. The woman is driven by success and the man by emotion. If both
partners score high on the same column, they share a similar view of the
world, but the balancing half may be lacking. A marriage that is very male
or very female can be a happy one, but in times of stress the predominance
of one worldview may make it difficult to find the coping skills to pull
through. For example, if both partners are so emotional that no family
decisions can be made without much drama and little concession to reason,
strains will develop.
Finally, if the man is very male (ten or more) and the wom an very
female, this may indicate a conflict of values and therefore a conflict of
needs. A strongly masculine man mated to a strongly feminin e woman is
held up as a social ideal, but in reality, if the man is motivated by power and
status while the woman is motivated by emotions and communication,equality is difficult to sustain in the marriage. You are on two different
paths, not a shared path. One way or another the weaker partner will wind
up giving in to the stronger, or one of you will repress your true needs in
hopes that you will find happiness through sacrifice.
This rarely if ever works. Giving in to another person’ s needs is actually
a form of attachment. Having thrown away your own desires, you will be
forced to cling to the other person to bring you satisfaction. This is a form
of separation from your true identity, and in the end you cannot hope to use
separation of any kind to reach unity.
Now that I have  said all this, what can you do? You need to recognize
imbalances where they exist and take responsibility for them. A man who
has many female needs shouldn’ t rely on his wife to make all the decisions,
while a woman with strong male needs shouldn’ t ignore her partner ’s
emotions. The object is to find the balance of male and female within you
rather than take the easy road, which is to attach yourself to someone else’s
strengths as a compensation for your weaknesses. We will now examine
how this dynamic can change.
PART TWO
Satisfying inner  need has to go deeper than what society or your ego tells
you will suf fice. T o be in separation is by definition to be insecure.
Inner need must be faced befor e you can feel secur e.
To be aware of inner need is healthy, to deny inner need is unhealthy.
Everyone brings needs to a relationship, and admitting this makes it more
honest. Nevertheless, inner need can become so great that it distorts your
view of yourself. A person dominated by neediness will tend to have
recurring thoughts like these:
I’m not smart enough.
I’m not beautiful enough.
I’m not desirable enough.
I’m not lovable enough.
I never do the right thing.
Something’ s wrong with me.
I’m not as good as X.Whatever is happening to trigger these beliefs, and no matter how
convinced you are by them, they are totally false. In the light of spirit you
are wholeness and therefore lack for nothing. You are love and therefore
must be lovable and desirable. You are unique and therefore cannot be
compared with anyone else.
In the eyes of spirit you ar e always enough.
A relationship should constantl y reinforce the belief that both partners
are enough, that fulfillment lies within by its very nature. “I am” is the
primal feeling of existence, and within “I am” there is total peace and
security. More often than not, however, relationships are unbalanced. One
partner feels much more insecur ity, much more inner need. This imbalance
is tested in the following questionnaire:
Answering as honestly as you can, which of the following statements
apply to you?
In my marriage, I’m the one who
1. Feels more unhappy if left alone at night.
2. Has a harder time making decisions.
3. Asks for help more often.
4. Has more fears about not being loved.
5. Would feel more guilty if I had an af fair.
6. Goes along with plans after they are made.
7. Hates to ar gue.
8. Asks “How are you feeling?” more often.
9. Keeps the family together.
10. Wishes that everybody would come to the dinner table instead of
watching TV.
11. Can’ t help but show how I feel.
12. Writes all the Christmas cards.
13. Tries harder not to hurt other people’ s feelings.
14. Would rather cooperate than raise disagreements.
15. Would believe a doctor ’s opinion.
16. Has a harder time standing up for myself.
17. Suffers in silence.18. Needs a good provider.
19. Wishes everybody would just be nice at Thanksgiving.

eld, waiting to be activated by my mind.
The eld, it must be understood, is not a thing— it is an
abstraction that we shape into things. To help prove this to
ourselves, we can turn to those people who lack the complete
creative abiliti es the rest of us take for granted. In Pilgrim at Tinker
Creek, Annie Dillard writes eloquently about an entire class of
people, those born blind, who do not live in a world that contains
space, size, distance, or many other qualities we accept as given.
Several decades ago, when eye surgeons rst learned to remove
cataracts safely, they could restore sight overnight to people who
had been blind from birth. Suddenly released into the light, the
newly sighted did not feel freed. They were plunged into a mystery
that was at times overwhelming. “The vast majority of patients, of
both sexes and all ages, had … no idea of space whatsoever,” Dillard
writes, drawin g from the notes left by surgeons. “Form, distance,
and size were so many meaningless syllables. One patient ‘had no
idea of depth, confusing it with roundness.’
“Of another postoperative patient the doctor writes, ‘I have found
in her no notion of size, for example, not even within the narrow
limits she might have encompassed with the aid of touch. Thus
when I asked her to show me how big her mother was, she did not
stretch out her hands, but set her two index ngers a few inches
apart.’ ”
One patient was used to tellin g the dierence between a cube and
a sphere by touching both to his tongue. After the operation, he
looked at the same objects and could not tell them apart by sight. A
second patient said that lemonade was “square” because it gave his
tongue a pricking sensation, the same way a square object gave his
hands a pricking sensation.
The newly sighted faced a baing world because they lacked the
visual creativi ty we all take for granted. Vision was plopped into
their laps formlessly, which is how it really exists before the mind
turns it into something formed. Some patients did not realize that a
house is bigger than one of the rooms inside it. A building one mileaway looked as close as a nearby one, only taking a lot more steps
to get to. A dog that walked behind a chair was no longer in the
room. Shapes were seen as at patches of color, and when some
patients walked past a tree, they were amazed to turn around and
see that it was now behind them.
“For the newly sighted,” Dillard comments, “vision is pure
sensation unencumbered by meaning.” Adding the meaning proved
too much for some of them. They reverted to closing their eyes
when they were alone, feeling objects with their hands and tongues,
or climbing the stairs with eyes shut to avoid the dizzying prospect
of going straight up a wall. Poignantly, the glut of visual images
caused almost every person to lose the serenity that is so striking in
those born blind. It was particularly disturbing for them to discover
that they had been watched  all their lives, since this was a personal
intrusion totally alien to the blind.
In the end, some adjusted better than others. It was startling but
also wonderful for them to nd that everyone in the world had a
dierent face; it was awesom e to realize the vastness of the heavens
and the earth itself. But space mostly remained elusive. One girl was
shown some paintings and photos. “Why do they put those dark
marks all over them?” she asked. “Those aren’t dark marks,” her
mother explain ed, “they are shadows. That is one of the ways the
eye knows that things have shape. If it were not for shadows, many
things would look at.” “Well, that’s how things do look,” the girl
replied. “Everything looks at with dark patches.”
Just because we are so used to the usual construct of the world,
that does not mean it must already exist. Other people may not
accept our code for reality if they do not accept our code for seeing.
The eye refuses to see what the mind does not know.
I am reminded of stories told about Turks who ran in panic from
the theater when they saw their rst movie, thinking that the image
of a locomotiv e was leaping out of the wall; of forest pygmies in
Africa who were led onto a plain for the rst time and thought that
distant water bualos were actually two inches high; of Eskimos
who were confronted with photographs of themselves and saw no
faces at all, only a jumble of gray and black blotches. These are not“primitive” responses but responses from another code, another
world. Yet every person accepts some code. The human race is
bound in cords of sight, with only the rishis to tell us that we are
free to adopt any code we wish.
Weaving the Fabric of Awareness
The reason the rishis were able to see this so clearly is that their
own experience of the world was beyond the binding inuence of
any single code of perception. They did not select bits and pieces
from the eld but saw it as a whole. And what did this wholeness
look like? When the rishis turned their attention toward the eld to
see its totality, they found that the eld was pure awareness, the
same “mind-stu” that lls our heads.
“Pure” means  without form and can be equated with the
motionless silence being contacted in meditation. Existing without
form in the eld, pure awareness starts to vibrate and in so doing
turns itself into the visible universe. A thought can be seen as a
vibration inside this mind-stu, and so can an atom, although an
atom is outsid e our heads and has all the marks of matter. These
marks are only trick eects, the rishis declared. Atoms, molecules,
photons of light, stars, galaxies—all of creation—are fashioned from
the same thing, pure awareness.
This, the core insight of ancient India, is too sweeping to take on
faith, and it can only be tested in a higher state of consciousness.
However, we have a linking  concept, the eld, which can at least
take us to the boundary of the rishis’ world.
Over the last fty years, the concept of the eld rose to
prominence in physics when it was realized that matter and energy
have no xed, concrete existence. Because you can hold a tennis ball
in your hand, common sense  tells you that you must be able to hold
the smallest part of a tennis ball in your hand, too. But the
elementary particles that are the smallest bits of matter are not solid
or xed.
To see a tennis  ball accurately, one has to imagine it being like a
swarm of bees. Each bee is ying so fast that it forms a streak oflight, like a sparkler waved  around in the dark on the Fourth of
July. Besides leaving a visible trail, each bee also leaves a trail you
can feel. Thus, even though the bee moves out of sight as soon as
you try to spot it, your eyes and hands still see and feel where it has
been.
In crude form, we have uncovered the basic tenet of quantum
reality, the famous Uncertainty Principle, which says that
elementary particles, although they appear to exist in a denite
place in time and space, cannot actually be found there. Every time
you try to catch a bee, it disappears, so that all you have is trails.
Physicists were not entirely happy with the notion that everything
in existence is constantly slipping away, but they learned to live
with it, however uneasily. Instead of having a solid particle to hold
on to, they were left with a set of possibilities, and if all the
possibilities were lumped together, the result was a eld.
In essence a eld is only a set of variables to be measured. One
can probe it for the various sorts of trails that the whizzing particles
are leaving in their wake. When that is done, what comes out is a
highly precise,  scientically useful set of descriptions. A quark can
be described as having this or that property—mass, momentum,
symmetry, spin—all of which can be computed with beautiful
mathematical accuracy. Strangely, one can know everyth ing about
the ying bee without ever stopping it. That is why a tennis ball
seems totally secure, solid, and real on one level, where the senses
operate, and totally ghostly and unreal at a deeper level, where the
senses cannot go.
Like a rishi, a physicist maneuvers between existing things,
possible things, and nothing. Lord Krishna can use the word “eld”
with the same intent as a physicist: both are trying to convey a
sense of nature’s wholeness.  A eld is the most complete way to
describe anyth ing, from an atom to a star, because all possible
descriptions are embedded in it. This implies that anything your eye
can

disorders.
After evaluating the treatment of several thousand multiple sclerosis patients over many years Dr. Nieper found that hardly anyone of
these patients had developed cancer. Also in a 6-year study of 8 patients with repeated surgery for colon cancer there were no further
recurrences with calcium EAP  therapy.
A report from the John Hopkins University states that by using agents that elevate the intracellular calcium level even fast growing
metastatic cancer cells could be made to undergo programmed cell death. Other carriers, besides EAP, that are able to carry calcium
into cells are calcium aspartate and calcium orotate.
EAP salts are commonly sold in packs of 150 tablets. Each tablet contains 350 mg of either calcium EAP, called PECA  with 44 mg of
calcium, or of mixed calcium, magnesium and potassium EAP, called MYNAX. Commonly 1 to 3 tablets are taken with meals three
times daily. The cheapest source for medium-size orders is directly from the manufacturer: Dr. F, Koehler Chemie, in Alsbach,

The complete collection of Dr. Nieper's publications can be found in the Keith Brewer International Science Library, accessible
through the Internet. In the following I have compiled some extracts from Dr. Nieper's writings on EAP.
DR. NIEPER ON EAP
Following the cell membrane model of the Swiss scientist Buchi, colamine phosphate is integrated into the cell membrane in a way
that it is localized on the outside on the external cell membrane, mainly at the entrance spots into the so-called free lipid pore. From
communications by Dr. Pressman, New York, we know today that colamine phosphates are part of neurotransmitters, that is
substances necessary for conducting an electric signal to biological structures. In addition, the substance is obviously necessary to
retain electric charges, especially of calcium, on the membrane surface.

https://health-science-spirit.com/Healing_the_Body/Calcium-EAP-for-Healthy-Cells.html 1/4The resulting change is extremely signiﬁcant because, in this way, the cell membranes can function like an electric condenser, except
that the areas containing the charge  do not consist of metal as they do in technology but of biologically retained (bound) calcium
linings. Colamine phosphate salts, and calcium salt, in particular, are therefore indispensable in supporting the condenser function of
the cell membrane.
Clinical T esting
Since 1963 we started to apply calcium and magnesium-EAP  clinically with the intention of protecting the cell membranes against
unwanted intruders, such as antibodies, toxins and viruses. These can only enter through the so-called free lipid pore of the cell
membrane where the colamine phosphate is in position. We presume d, therefore, that the supply of calcium EAP would have a
special sealing function.
Our expectation proved to be correct. Already in 1971 Monninghof f in Munster, Germany, published electron microscopic research
demonstrating in a spectacular manner how the sealing of cell membranes with calcium-EAP  (and also with calcium aspartate) could
prevent penetration of peroxidase granules.
Application in Multiple Sclerosis
By 1967, the following results were obtained after administering over 50,000 daily doses. The disorders of patients with multiple
sclerosis improved considerably. Calcium-EAP  was given both intravenously (usually 400 mg three times a week) and in tablet form
(approx, 1.5 g. per day). In the case  of multiple sclerosis, cell membrane damage exists throughout the body, showing especially in
myelin, a multiple condenser winding around the central nerve ﬁber. Multiple sclerosis is not a neurological disease, but a generalized
disease of the cell's membrane system. It also affects the bone matrix system, the kidneys, the membranes of the pulmonary alveoli,
the urinary tract system, the inner linings of little vessels, the membranes of red blood cells as well as many other sites.
Furthermore, it was evident that the consequences of viral infections could be drastically reduced by this therapy, as demonstrated in
1969 by a control group (personnel of two department stores). Likewise, toxic effects on the cell membrane, could be reduced by this
treatment. Considerable improvement was noted in patients suffering from chronic kidney illnesses. Rheumatoid disease, i.e. Boeck's
Sarcoidosis, and other hard-to-cure disorders such as tuberous sclerosis and leukodystrophy also improved signiﬁcantly.
A mixture of calcium EAP, magnesiu m-EAP  and potassium-EAP  excelled in calming and harmonizing the nerves of excited patients,
especially children. This compound is ef fective on the diseases mentioned just as pure calcium-EAP  is.
Success with Multiple Sclerosis
At ﬁrst, the main area of application of calcium-EAP  was multiple sclerosis. In the 24 years since 1964, approx. 2,280 patients were
treated with multiple sclerosis, about 800 of them from North America. The results observed over 24 years were good and interesting
in many respects and unquestionably better than any other known treatment of MS. Since the positive effect on MS cases was
evident around 1966, the German health Authority in Berlin approved  the claim labelling "Multiple Sclerosis" on packages and
brochures, identifying calcium-EAP.
The fact that this therapy did not gain faster acceptance over a long period of time is certainly related to a campaign against me and
this treatment by the German MS Association. Even the American MS Association had chimed in from time to time but ceased this
activity in 1987 as a consequence  of better ﬁndings, in contrast to the German MS Association. (Not to be confused with the
independent German self-help groups).
In 1986-87, Dr. Morrissette conducted a retrospective poll of patients in the USA who originally had begun this treatment with us in
Germany. Just under 300 patients were entered in this study showing that 82% of them had had a positive beneﬁt from this therapy.
When the treatment had begun in the early stages, this positive result rose to 92% of these patients. If the treatment was interrupted,
the disease would erupt anew, which was to be expected (as in 20 of 28 cases where Injections were stopped).
The long-term observation of calcium-EAP  effect on MS patients in such great numbers produced an entire series of additional, highly
relevant phenomena that are extremely fascinating. First of all, for all practical purposes, patients under this treatment hardly age,
neither in their outward appearance nor by any other criteria like tissue elasticity, skeletal ﬁrmness, absence of osteoporosis, etc.
While formerly one-third of all MS patients would die of lost nerve functions and another one-third of increased tendency to bone
fractures and the last one-third of kidney failure, only two patients out of 2,200 did this. Unusual bone fractures and problems with
kidney functions were not observed at all. Second to myelin of the nerve ﬁbers, the kidneys are especially endangered in MS
because the electrostatic defense against ascending bacteria that can damage the kidneys is no longer adequate because of
insufﬁcient membrane polarization in the cellular system of MS patients.
On the basis of this observation, treatment has begun with calcium-EAP  decalciﬁcation diseases including true osteoporosis not
related to multiple sclerosis. The net results are apparently striking. I feel that the energetic membrane impairment in Osteoblasts and
of the bone matrix tissue is the true and deeper cause for decalciﬁcation diseases including osteoporosis. It is well known that these
ailments are not under control. Therapy with conventional calcium salts fail as well as does hormone therapy, not speaking of the
extremely risky ﬂuoride therapy which may increase the cancer and leukemia risk and threaten the heart muscle's integrity. In the
U.S., some 24 million people suffer from decalciﬁcation of the bone system; some 1.45 million experience spontaneous bone
fractures every year. In my opinion, there is no alternative to calcium-EAP  for the treatment of bone decalciﬁcation.
Success with Asthma
Although we had known in principle and published the protective effects on bone structure, kidneys, lungs and other organs for some
20 years, these questions were reviewed more intensively in the last 15 years. The result was exceedingly interesting. In asthma
there is a disturbance of the gas exchange on the membranes of the lung alveoli.10/30/24, 7:23 AM Health-Science-Spirit - Calcium EAP for Healthy Cells

 tribes and Eskimos. Presently almost all of the original Homoludens have acquired Homo sapiens characteristics through
interbreeding. In the beginning this was not easy because both races have very differently structured energy bodies so that
conception did not necessarily lead to birth.
The Cultures of Homo sapiens
The ﬁrst Homo sapiens, created about 550.000 years ago, were a Negroid type. They were not black then, but rather brown. Initially
they evolved from a single tribe and in time spread out all over the planet, and through adaptation to climatic and other factors
gradually the different races developed. They worshipped the sun as their source of life. They regarded animals as their equals and
hunted them with respect, but they also ate their dead. Near the end of their culture they were able to communicate with about 300
words, aided by heavy gesticulation. Their existence ended 375,000 years ago in the ﬁrst of six cosmic impact catastrophes which
each time nearly totally wiped out the existing Homo sapiens population.
The second culture also worshipped the sun, but the cannibalism largel y disappeared. Now hierarchies began to develop based on
cleverness, strength and expertise. Communities lived in tribal and family structures. They were not fearful of natural forces, but
rather observed them rationally and developed successful survival strategies. Their communication abilities reached those of present-
day nomads. They used wood, stone, tile, bone, skin, hair and feathers, were able to glue things together with juices from plants and
animals, used sewing and nailing, and even built houses on stilts in moors. They were wiped out by an impact catastrophe 290,000
years ago.
The third culture lived largely in a state of fear. This was partly due to memories of the catastrophic period, and partly to frequent
periodical natural disasters. One followed another. An impact catastrophe 230,000 years ago ended this difﬁcult period.
The fourth culture led to the ﬂowering of Homo sapiens, to the period of the “God-Men”. This was the time of Lemuria. The densest
population then was on the American continent and the island of Atlantis. They developed highly reﬁned cultural standards with large
parts of the population reaching advanced mental abilities. This made it possible to maintain a continuous connection with the
inhabitants of other planets. Their science had all the knowledge that is now revealed in The Book, and they applied it correctly. They
were able to use (cold fusion) atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
They followed the teachings of God Jehovah, but instead of developing religions, their picture of the world was based on knowledge
and understanding. They knew the road of the soul and the laws of its return. There was no need to travel in spaceships as many
could travel in their souls or astral bodies to other inhabited planets and bring back the knowledge of their cultures. Their societies
were relatively war-less but had a very strict order regime. They were typically based on kingdoms and confederations formed by
these. This period ended with a series of cosmic catastrophes 1 15,000 years ago.

https://health-science-spirit.com/Science_%26_Spirituality/Life-%26-the-Universe-History-Future-Part2.html 1/5The ﬁfth culture existed only for 40,000 years because 74.000 years ago living conditions collapsed again on Earth. During this
period sun worship and spirit cults with polytheistic beliefs formed the world-view. The focus of life was on survival.
The sixth culture lived at a relatively low level of agricultural farming and animal husbandry, also at times nomadic. It was
characterised by many alien visitors. It started 60,000 years ago with giant humans created by the fourth Creating Son. They
repeatedly came from the Aries constellation and had here only a rest stop for about one hundred years before travelling on. They
tried to cultivate maize, hemp and sweet potato, but could not increase their size towards what they had in their home culture. They
did not want to rule and left the local people alone.
There were also visitors from the Pleiades. They are similar in appearance to the Homo sapiens. Usually they spent only one to two
years here on their way to other places. The Earth population generally  reacted with hostility towards them, so they tried to hide in
isolated places.
The third typical visiting group were creations of the Third Creating Son. They were more violent, but possessed all kinds of
incomprehensible wondrous powers which impressed the locals. The sixth culture was destroyed 51,000 years ago.
The Great Catastrophes
In addition to six global catastrophes there were also more localised catastrophes for which an exact number cannot be given. After
global catastrophes the surface was not habitable for years and sometimes for decades.
The main problems were due to mountain-sized rocks crashing through the crust of the Earth and splashing smouldering magma sky-
high. This then fell back, causing ﬁre-storms and burning up everything on the surface. For those who found shelter in caves and
bunkers there were only insects, moles and roots to eat that were scraped out from the soil until new vegetation could form. For a
long time radiation on the surface was too strong to endure permanently.
There was no material on the surface from which new tools could be made; only tools already stored underground were available.
The few survivors started plundering attacks against neighbouring bunkers, and in the end only some isolated couples remained,
because wherever there were three the hostility did not stop until there were only two. From these isolated couples Homo sapiens in
time regenerated again. One beneﬁt of these catastrophes was a renewal and invigoration of our genetic stock, because only the
ﬁttest could survive.
In more favourable cases the impacts caused tsunamis that washed away mainly the cultural layer, while fauna and ﬂora could
recover much faster. These events commonly brought a change in climate and a pole reversal. The last great catastrophe was
caused by several collisions and ended 51,000 years ago. This time frame corresponds to the discovery of a 52,000 year old cypress
forest submerged off the Alabama coast in the Gulf of Mexico (http://inhabitat.com/divers-discover-a-52000-year-old-underwater-
cypress-forest-of f-the-coast-of-alabama/.
At one time Earth had 13 billion inhabitants but only about 70,000 survived. The Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal races became extinct
during such catastrophes. The biblical ﬂood 19,400 years ago was the latest partial catastrophe caused by a cosmic object.
Afterwards there was a renewal in Mesopotamia called in the Bible the Garden of Eden.
The Next Catastrophe
During past decades God Jehovah worked hard to prevent a third world  war with nuclear weapons. That could have caused a major
wipe-out of our population. Avoiding nuclear destruction was not easy because He cannot interfere with our free will. So far it worked
but there is an even greater threat looming.
Cosmic impacts can be expected to occur between 2034 and 2038 with the highest probability for 2037. They are expected to be
multiple, different sized impacts. This corresponds to a prediction of Nostradamus that Earth will be stung by the tail of a comet.
Presumably these massive rocks will enter the gravity ﬁeld of the Earth after a close ﬂy-by of the comet. While mentioning the biblical
ﬂood in one of his readings, Edgar Cayce said that the next time Earth will not be destroyed again by water but rather by ﬁre.
The best defence would be for our scientists to develop an energy shield similar to that on Mirrorland, but this is very unlikely to
happen. A more feasible possibility is trying to deﬂect the comet with rockets, but the outcome is very uncertain.
A main problem is that even relatively moderate impacts can make the surface uninhabitable for a long time if several nuclear power
plants or storage facilities of atomic weapons and toxic chemicals are being destroyed. A main problem for us, according to Jehovah,
is the type of leaders that we choo se. It would be much better to have a progressive kind of world government that is genuinely
concerned about the wellbeing of its citizens.
According to The Book, Jesus incarnated near the end of the last century in a female body in Hungary with the speciﬁc aim of
minimising the damage caused by these expected impacts, so that we are not forced again to live underground for a long time.
However, the outcome is highly unce rtain, and even the Godhead does not know what will come out of this. The prediction is that this
century will decide the future of Homo sapiens.
The Soul of Jesus
The soul of Jesus was created by the Godhead 3.5 billion years ago, at the same time as the Jehovah soul. It was later given to God
Jehovah as an assistant and is now being trained to take over the empir e of Jehovah when His time comes to regenerate. Even now
Jesus is the spiritual leader of Earth, and when God Jehovah tempora rily withdraws from here to create a new world, Jesus has
already full control.
However, the Jesus soul has not yet completed the compulsory number of biological incarn

A fu nctional orthodontist places  emphasis on attaining the correct facial
profile of the face as well as str aightening the teeth. Functiona l appliances
are worn by the child in order to help guide the growth of the face, jaws,
and teet h to reach their full gen etic potential. The commonly held view of
functional ortho dontists is that overcrowding of teeth is not because the
teeth are too big, but more likely because the jaw is too small as a result of
mouth breathing or thumb sucking. The course of action therefore is to
gently expand the jaws and guide them forward to make room for the teeth,
with extractions only carried out as a last resort.
In c ontrast, the primary emph asis of traditional orthodontic s is to
straighten the teeth, with the facial profile and airway size receiving
secondary consideration. Crowded teeth are usually treated by extracting
four per fectly good premolars and retracting or pulling the fron t teeth back
to cl ose up the excess space created. This retraction sometimes  causes the
face, especially around the lips, to look caved in, and the nose and chin to
become more prominent. This retraction of the front teeth may  also cause
problems with the joint of the jaw if the lower jaw is forced back too far.
When th e lower jaw is too far back, it encroaches on the upp er airways,
decreasing airway size and negatively af fecting athletic ability.
If you are the parent of a child who may be under going orthodontic
treatment, I would like to impart some advice from i nternational
orthodontist Dr. John Mew, who has devoted his life to ensuring the normal
growth of children’ s faces:
•   F irst ask the orthodontist ho w many permanent teeth will b e
initially removed and how many more may need extracting
later. Sadly, most children who receive traditional retractive
orthodontic treatment lose 4 premolar teeth, and nearly half ofthese ch ildren will not have room for their wisdom teeth,
leaving them with 24 teeth. This  can be completely avoided by
helping to ensure normal growth of the face to accommodate
all 32 teeth.
•   Ask your c linician whethe r he or she is confident about
avoiding an increase in the verti cal growth of your child’ s face.
Y ou hav e the right to be inform ed of all types of treatment and
to be warned of likely problems.
Knowledge is empowering. The best approach to determine the
treatment option s for you and your child is to research both fun ctional and
traditional orthodontic treatment. Selecting the correct approach will have
repercussions on  the well-being of your child; it is well worth  investing a
little tim e to determine a more noninvasive solution. Extraction s should be
a last resort.
Don’t Leave It Until It’ s T oo Late
According to American research, 95 percent of head circumference growth
for the average North American  white child takes place by the age of nine.
Development of  the lower jaw, however, continues until approximately the
age of eighteen.
Based on these observations, for correct craniofacial growth to take
place, early intervention with  nasal breathing and tongue posture is
essential. The negative ef fects of mouth breathing on the stru cture of the
jaws and face will have the most impact when they occur before  puberty, so
there is only a  brief window of opportunity to avoid the need for
orthodontic treatment and significant changes in a child’ s facial structure.
My daughter is three years old.  She first began to breathe occa sionally
through her mouth at the age o f eight months during teething, and since
then I have been encouraging her to breathe through her nose. I set an
example by breathing through m y own nose all the time, and congratulate
her any time she has her mout h closed. As we live in the co untryside, Ioften comment that Charlie the  donkey breathes through his nose, as does
Snowball the cat. Such clever animals!
Genetically, ther e would be a high likelihood for my daughter  to be a
mouth breather as both my wif e and I had severe respiratory complaints
while growing up. The earlier you begin to encourage your children to
breathe through their nose and e nsure the correct positioning of the tongue,
the bett er. Not only might yo u help them avoid orthodontic treatment
altogether, but the shape of their face, their general health, and their
athleticism will be significantly influenced during these fe w short  years.
Even genetic predispositions can be minimized when the right action and
behavior is enshrined.
A few years ago I wrote a self-help book for children, teenagers, and
parents entitled Buteyko Meets Dr. Mew: Buteyko Method for Childr en and
T eenagers  about the craniofacial changes associated with mouth breathing. I
put extensive amounts of resear ch into the subject and included  many peer -
reviewed paper s and studies to support my claims. Most parents are
shocked when they realize that crooked teeth, narrow faces, lar ge noses, and
undeveloped jaws can be avoided if a child is simply encouraged to breathe
through his or her nose. Not only is sports performance a f fected, but
lifelong health! W e cannot be dispassionate about the impac t of mouth
breathing on the development of our children. The detrimental e f fects that I
suf fered from a childhood of br eathing through my mouth needn’ t happen
to anyone else, armed with the knowledge we have about the benefits of
nasal breathing.CHAPTER 14

F or two million years we survived without supermarkets, convenience
stores, microwa ves, or McDonald’ s. In the past, in order to feed ourselves
and our families, muscle move ment was required to collect berries and
vegetation or to track down an  animal—often over several days—until it
collapsed from exhaustion.
Compare that to today’ s couch  potato lifestyle—do you know many
people w ho could adequately feed themselves if there was no food available
for conv enient purchase? One thing is for sure—a major shif t of attitude
would b e required. In order to eat, we would have to perform regular and
sustained physic al exercise, something that the human body is built for and
thrives u pon. W hy should we st op it now, simply because hunti ng our own
food is no longer necessary?
And while it might be too late f or many of us to become elite athletes,
we can still enj oy and derive considerable benefit from regular physical
exercise. Even if you have lived a relatively sedentary life until now, you
can dev elop your fitness slowly and steadily and bring about positive
changes to your health. There is a great feeling of self-esteem and
accomplishment when we get up of f our backsides or move away from the
computer. If you exercise for an hour per day, five times per week, for just a
few weeks, you will experience a remarkable dif ference in your sleep
quality, mood, and state of health.
Despite the advances of med ical science, the diseases of modern
civilization cont inue to increase, and it could be ar gued that we  are passing
responsibility for our health to pharmaceutical companies rather than
making changes to our lifestyle and diet to prevent illness in the first place.Each year, more and more people are developing asthma, heart disease,
diabetes, high blood pressure, an d cancer. Not only that, but new “diseases”
are being invented all the time—and some might say it’ s because the market
conditions and share prices of b ig pharmaceutical companies dictate a need
for n ew markets and ever -increa sing sales. W e may be living longer, but at
the expense of consuming vast quantities of medication as soon as we
approach fifty or sixty years of age. A far better option to help prevent the
onset of diseases—and one that involves no toxicity or expense—is to take
a reg ular fast wa lk or jog. If you haven’ t exercised regularly before, please
pay a visit to your physician to get the all clear before starting.
One thi ng that pretty much all health professionals agree o n is the
importance of regular physical exercise, taken within our limits. Dozens of
studies over the last few years have shown that regular physi cal exercise
provides many health benefits, including a reduced risk of cardiovascular
disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Studies as far back as the 1950s have investigated the relationship
between regular physical exercise and cardiovascular health. One of the
earliest w as conducted by Dr. Jeremy Morris, who studied the incidence of
heart att acks in 31,000 transport workers. Morris found that bus conductors,
who spent most of their day climbing up and down the stairs of double-
decker buses, averaging betwee n 500 and 700 steps per day, h ad reduced
incidences of heart disease than their bus-driving counterparts, who spent
90 p ercent of t heir day sitting down. Not only this, but he art disease

 would help less en, to
a temporary degree at least, the pain of acid pattern cancer patients. According to Revici‘s scientific
text previously mentioned, patient behavior appeared to support Revici‘s observations, ―many whose
pain was increased with the intake of food ref used to eat for fear of aggravating their suffering, while
those of the other group wanted to eat whenever pain was severe in order to reduce its intensity.‖
Revici decided to conduct some studies of his observations to see if there was a connection
betwe en urinary pH levels and cancer pain.
Revici first established that healthy people have an average urine pH of 6.2, although it fluctuates
throughout the day. Specifically, healthy people have a pH urine cycle with readings below 6.2
beginning around 4 a.m. each day This cycle continues for approximately twelve hours. At
approximately 4 p.m. the pH shifts to readings above 6.2 and continues to remain above 6.2 until
approximately 4 a.m. the next morning.   54
 The next step was to compare the pH readings of healthy people with the pH readings of cancer
patients. Revici kept track of the urine pH of the patients on an hourly basis. Meanwhile, he asked his
patients to keep track of their average pain inte nsity during each hour. The results were highly
significant both in the pH readings and in the pain registered by the patients. The pH readings of the
patients were stuck.
Some patients had pH readings that were always stuck above 6.2. But other patients were always
stuck below 6.2. Only rarely, if ever, did most of the patients show a reading that crossed the 6.2 line.
The pain cycles of the patients also corresponded to the aberrant readings. Patients who had lost the
more acidic part of their cycle (4  a.m. to 4 p.m.) experienced much greater pain in the morning and
early afternoon than they did in the evening. Because the patients‘ acid cycle was disturbed, Dr. Revici
labeled this phenomenon as an acid pain pattern.
In contrast to the first group, th e patients who had lost the more alkaline part of their pH cycle (4 p.m. to
4 a.m.) experienced much more severe pain during the late afternoon and the evening hours. Likewise,
because the patients‘ alkaline cycle was disturbed, that pattern was labeled as  an alkaline pain pattern.
In either case, more pain was experienced when the patient went into the abnormal phase of his or her
pH cycle. The pain was usually at its worst when the aberration was greatest. In numerous cases,
charts showed patients whose pH never crossed over to the opposite side of 6.2 for a period of fifty
consecutive days. In those patients the worsening of pain consistently corresponded to the daily
12-hour period when the patients failed to manifest the appropriate pH cycle. As Dr. Re vici wrote in his
book:
In many of these patients, variations in pain intensity could be
seen to follow a pattern. Although the variations are usually
referred to as ―spontaneous‖, we could show that they were
related to the time of day. …In one group,  pain was severe in the
morning and diminished toward evening, while in another group,
little or no pain was felt in the morning and exacerbations
occurred in the evening.
Furthermore, the patients who were sickest from a clinical standpoint had the most extreme imbalances,
with constant pH readings that were consistently either far higher or far lower than 6.2. It did not make
any difference whether the extreme readings wer e always alkaline or always acid. From the pH charts,
Revici noticed that the severity of a patient‘s conditions appeared to correlate with the severity of the
imbalance as shown in the patient‘s chart. As patients‘ physical conditions worsened, their pH s cores
would become more aberrant.
Those many connections demonstrate that the abnormal pH readings were not just an artifact of the
patient‘s overall condition, they were part and parcel of the illness itself.  55
 Those studies also indicate that a dualism exists in cancer, that is cancer could exist when a
malfunction occurs in either the acid pH cycle or the alkaline pH cycle of a patient. Therefore, it was
logical for Revici to conclude that a succe ssful treatment for cancer would be one where the patient‘s
urine pH fluctuated normally from acid to alkaline each day.
Revici conducted similar tests for pain patterns among cancer patients with other biochemical markers
which he would also demonstrate  to be connected to the condition of cancer. For example, increased
levels of potassium in the blood serum were associated with increased pain patterns.
Revici decided to see if he could affect the pain levels of cancer patients by treating them orally w ith
various acid and alkaline solutions. Once again, pain was dramatically, if temporarily affected. Acid
solutions temporarily reduced or eliminated alkaline pain patterns. Alkaline solutions did the same to
acid pain patterns. On occasion, when alkaline substances were given to patients showing alkaline pain
patterns, the pain increased. Similar aggravating responses occurred by giving acid solutions to
patients with acid pain patterns.
The next step for Revici was to see what type of response would occu r if the acid and alkaline
compounds were applied directly to tumors. In his previous tests on animals, normal tissue was
relatively unaffected by the various compounds, while tumorous lesions reacted much more
dramatically. Now Revici was ready to see if the results he achieved with lab animals would also occur
with humans.
―Patients with easily accessible superficial lesions, especially tumors, in which painful areas could be
well localized …‖ were chosen as subjects for this experiment, according to Revi ci. They would again
keep hourly records of pain intensity. Meanwhile, Revici devised special equipment and procedures to
isolate and measure the pH levels of the exposed tumors.
As expected, Revici found the pH of cancerous tissue to change with the app lication of the different
substances. The patients experienced dramatic drops in the intensity of pain which corresponded to
the changes in pH. It is also interesting to note that non -cancerous tissue on the same patients
showed very little or no change in  the surface pH when the tissue was subjected to the same acidic
or alkaline substances. The results of that testing provides further evidence that the source of the
disturbance in urine pH comes from the aberrant pH of the tumor itself.
In a few cases, an alkaline compound was placed on an alkaline tumor. Typically, the pain would
increase so dramatically that the experiment would have to be quickly reversed by introducing an
acidic compound. The same type of experiment was done with acidic tumors with s imilar aggravation
of pain.
More pH studies were performed on patients with other pathological conditions and symptoms during
those early years in Paris. He found similar correlations of dualism in a number of conditions, such as
asthma, some  56
 types of vertigo, some types of hearing loss and manic -depressive disorders. One of the most
interesting examples of dualism was the symptom of itching.
Very little is understood about the cause of certain t ypes of itching such as is found with pruritis. Itching
can result from any number of causes, such as insect bites, an external irritant or a disease state. In
testing dualism, Revici found externally caused itching did not have a dualistic characteristic.  In contrast,
he found that itching resulting from a pathological condition often did have the same dualistic feature as
some of the other illnesses he had examined. Like the other dualistic conditions, the severity of the
itching displayed a close correla tion to the severity of the imbalance. As Revici continued his research
over the next six decades, he would find numerous conditions whose pathology exhibited either a
dualistic pattern or a single sided pattern of pH imbalance.
Revici found that some co nditions always produce an alkaline pain pattern reaction. One example of
such a condition is any trauma that damages tissue, such as broken bones, burns or surgery. The
finding that surgery produces an alkaline -pain pattern reaction would play a large par t in informing
Revici as to why surgery might cause a patient with alkaline -pain pattern cancer to react to surgery with
a rapid regrowth of the tumor, or with the seemingly spontaneous appearance of metastases. Even
today, decades after Revici‘s findings,  that sequence of events occurs all too frequently.
For example, baseball legend Mickey Mantle was treated for liver cancer by surgical means. His liver
was removed and replaced with a healthy one. Although it wasn‘t immediately reported to the public,
the surgeons had to leave behind a small piece of the tumor.
Within a couple weeks a virulent cancer had invaded his lungs. According to the Washington Post, one
of his doctors, Daniel DeMarco M.D., reported that he‘d never seen a cancer spread so fast, ― [T]his was
the fastest, most aggressive tumor we‘ve ever seen.‖ Apparently ignorant of Revici‘s widely disregarded
findings, first made as early as 1930, Mantle‘s doctors expressed the hope that Mickey Mantle‘s fame
would help to make organ donations and t ransplant surgery more popular. Based on their continued
advocacy of liver transplants, it can be assumed that his doctors never considered the possibility that
the surgery itself may have contributed to the virulence of Mantle‘s tumor.


 all sorts of new,clever ways to identify pathogens. We will have to abandon Koch's postulates in some cases."
The Great Synthesizer
AS of this writing, the ideas at the core of Germ Theory, Part II, have been presented by Ewald
mostly in the form of lectures, and in communications with colleagues. The papers in whichthe ideas will be formally articulated are in preparation. Given Ewald's prominence, the
ideas are bound to cause a stir. They will also draw criticism. In the medical sciences, where"theory" is a bad word and "Stick to the data" is the reigning motto, Ewald will come underparticular scrutiny because his hypothesis arrives detached from a vast corpus of laboratory data. Itis helpful to think of Ewald as continuing the tradition of the great scientific synthesizers. Darwinhimself was a synthesizer extraordinaire, who composed the thesis of The Origin of Species largely
out of hundreds of odds and ends contributed by others, from pigeon breeders to naturalists."Professor So-and-so has observed... " is a recurring motif in Darwin's book.
Ewald's theory about evolution and infectiousness provides a framework that potentially unites
diverse research on the front lines of various afflictions. Ulcers and heart disease have already beenmentioned. Here are two more: cancer and mental illness.
In 1910 a man named Peyton Rous discovered the eponymous Rous sarcoma virus, demonstrating
that chickens infected with it developed cancer. Over the years many other cancer viruses have beendiscovered in animals. And yet until 1979, despite broad hints from the animal world, not a singlehuman cancer was generally accepted as infectious. Rous had been lucky: his chickens became sickonly two weeks after infection. Human cancers follow a more languorous course, which means thatby the time symptoms show up, any infectious causation may well be buried under a lifetime ofirrelevant risk factors.
In 1979 HTLV-1, a retrovirus endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, and transmitted
either sexually or from mother to child, was linked to certain leukemias and lymphomas; the cancerappeared decades after infection. The Epstein-Barr virus (the agent that causes mononucleosis) hasnow been associated with some B-cell lymphomas, with a nasopharyngeal cancer common in southChina, and with Burkitt's lymphoma, a deadly childhood cancer of Africa. Some 82 percent of allcases of cervical cancer have been associated with the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus,a once relatively innocent-seeming pathogen responsible for genital warts.
H. pylori, the ulcer pathogen, confers a sixfold greater risk of stomach cancer, and accounts for at
least half of all stomach cancers. Also, the lymphoid tissue of the stomach can produce a low-gradegastric lymphoma under the influence of this bacterium. Early reports indicate that the lymphoma iscured in 50 percent of cases by resolving the H. pylori infection -- which may mark the first time in
medical history that cancer has been cured with an antibiotic.
Hepatitis B and C, two of the ever-growing alphabet soup of hepatic diseases, have been linked to
liver cancer. Herpes virus 8 has recently been discovered to be the cause of Kaposi's sarcoma. "Thereis no reason to believe that this flurry of discovery has now completed the list of infectious agents ofcancer," Ewald says.
Among the many known animal cancer viruses is a closely studied retrovirus known as mouse
mammary tumor virus (MMTV), which causes mammary-gland cancer in mice. This virus istransmitted from mother to offspring through mother's milk, lying latent in the daughter'smammary tissue until activated by hormones during her own lactation. Could such a virus be afactor in human breast cancer? In the mid-1980s researchers announced that they had found inmalignant human breast tumors a DNA sequence resembling MMTV, but the excitement wanedwhen the same sequence was found in normal breast tissue as well. Interest has been revived by theresearch of Beatriz G-T. Pogo, a professor in the departments of medicine and microbiology atMount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York. Examining some 400 to 500 breast-cancer samples,she has found DNA sequences resembling MMTV that are not present in normal tissue or in otherhuman cancers. She remains guarded about the implications.
Can You "Catch" Schizophrenia?
MICROBES obviously can cause mental disorders -- as syphilitic dementia, to name but oneexample, makes brutally clear. But most post-Freudian discussions of psychiatricdysfunction have tended not to invoke infection. Recently, however, some cases of
childhood obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) have hinted at a new set of possibilities. Childrenwho have this disease may compulsively count the crayons in their book bags over and over again,or meticulously avoid each crack in the pavement, in order to ward off some imagined evil. Susan E.Swedo, of the National Institute of Mental Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, noticed strongresemblances between OCD and a disease called Sydenham's chorea, formerly known as SaintVitus's dance, which, like rheumatic heart disease, is a rare complication of an untreatedstreptococcal infection. Streptococcal antibodies find their way into the brain and attack a regioncalled the basal ganglia, causing characteristic clumsiness and arm-flapping movements along withobsessions, compulsions, senseless rituals, and idées fixes. Could some cases of childhood OCD be a
milder version of this illness? The hunch paid off. In the early 1990s a new syndrome, known asPANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus), wasrecognized.
Some children with OCD get better when they are given intravenous immunoglobulin or undergo
therapeutic plasma exchange to remove the antibodies from their blood. It is not known whetheradult-onset OCD -- whose most famous avatar was the germ-phobic Howard Hughes -- also resultsfrom some sort of infection. But it is certainly provocative that a mental disorder can result from alingering immune response. The phenomenon makes some people wonder about schizophrenia.
For years, amid the smorgasbord of theories about the etiology of schizophrenia, there has been
recurring speculation about a schizophrenia virus. Karl Menninger wondered in the 1920s ifschizophrenia might result from a flu infection. Later researchers pointed to data that showedseasonal and geographic patterns in the births of schizophrenics, suggestive of infection -- though itmust be said that the viral theorists were largely regarded as inhabiting the fringe. Genetic theoriesgrabbed center stage, and by the 1990s most researchers were pinning their hopes on the geneticmarkers being identified in the Human Genome Project.
In Ewald and Cochran's view, evolutionary laws dictate that infection must be a factor in
schizophrenia. "They announced they had the gene for schizophrenia, and then it turned out not tobe true," Cochran said one day when I mentioned genetic markers. "I think they found and unfoundthe gene for depression about six times. Nobody's found a gene yet for any common mental illness.Maybe instead of the Human Genome Project we should have the Human Germ Project." Cochran isendorsing a suggestion made by several scientists in a recent issue of Nature. "I don't mean to say
that the Human Genome Project isn't worthwhile for many reasons, but all the genes we've foundhave been for rarediseases. I don't think the common diseases are going to turn out that way."
Schizophrenia affects about one percent of the population, and thus in Ewald and Cochran's scheme
is too common for a genetic disease that profoundly impairs fitness. As noted, the backgroundmutation rate -- the ratate which a gene spontaneously mutates -- is typically about one in 50,000 toone in 100,000. Not surprisingly, genetic diseases that are severely fitness-impairing (for example,achondroplastic dwarfism) tend to have roughly the same odds, depending on the gene. (In a fewcases, however, the gene involved may be especially error-prone, resulting in a higher frequency ofmishaps. One of the most common genetic diseases, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, afflicts boys ata rate of one in 7,000, reflecting the fragility of an uncommonly long gene.)
From the fitness perspective, schizophrenia is a catastrophe. It is estimated that male schizophrenics
have roughly half as many offspring as the general population has. Female schizophrenics haveroughly 75 percent as many. Schizophrenia should therefore approach the level of a randommutation after many generations. (To explain this away, some genetic theorists have proposed thatin hunter-gatherer cultures schizophrenics were the tribal shamans -- desirable as sexual partners --and thus did not incur a reproductive disadvantage.)
No one has found a schizophrenia virus yet, but some think they may be close. Following a tip from
Ewald and Cochran, I typed "Borna virus" into my online search engine and ended up with a stackof scientific papers. Borna virus was first recognized as the cause of a neurologic disease in horses,and can infect nearly all warm-blooded animals, from birds to primates. Horses and other animalsinfected with Borna virus may exhibit depressed or apathetic behavior, weakness of the legs,abnormal body postures, or a staggering gait. Borna-infected laboratory rats exhibit learningdisorders, exaggerated startle responses, and hyperactivity, among other things.
