Review by Larry Smith

Seldom do I come across a single volume that is fundamentally scientific, while at the same time displaying a heavy mystical tendency. Here is an example. On page 124 of this book, the author writes (perhaps in October or November of 2000) what appears to be a description of what happened on September 11, 2001! Read it for yourself: "But, if you are simply curious, or fancy yourself a history buff, watch out for the following developments: Under the 2001 Bush Administration, an imminent world class 'threat to national security' will be identified, publicized and demonized. This 'enemy' will give impetus to massive military buildup (the spending of hundreds of billions for a 'strong and prepared national defense!'. Congress will vote in favor of spending the dollars because the public will concur (having been convinced the 'threat is imminent to their own personal safety!').” Wow! And this book is about the nature and purpose of disease?

Yes, it does what it claims the medical establishment does not do: it defines “disease” as the presence of poison in the body and/or in the mind. The book helps to recall words I have heard all my life, “a poisoned mind” and “don't eat that poison.” But, the way the author accomplishes his purpose is by “explaining,” if you will, the fundamental basis of this poisonous buildup or intake. He does this by completing destroying what I was brought up believing was “the science of nutrition.” After taking the reader to “an imaginary nutrition convention” and sharing its outcome: every business interest gained something, and no consumers were allowed to attend! The 'four basic food groups” were established by those who attended the convention, and our adherence to the 'dictates of nutrition', as it has been taught to us, guarantees a life of sickness and disease. Wow! Bouncing back and forth between clairvoyance and scientific innovation, the author tells his readers that “all diseases are the same disease.” In other words, all disease conditions have the same root cause. Therefore, that which resolves one disease condition will resolve all other disease conditions, even so-called “incurable diseases.”

I am not a scientist, but I am familiar with physiology, anatomy, biochemical and other human processes. I have been a professional fitness trainer, instructor, private fitness club operator, [and] and have serviced a high-visibility clientele for a number of years. But, in all my readings, and in all my previous perceptions, never before have I had to stop and reconsider what I [have] had accepted on face value about what appears to be the human condition. Dr. Anderson makes critical points, and even when I find myself in disagreement with some of them, I am forced to reexamine my ideas and concepts.

If, for example, his 'Universal Law of Effects of Cause' (page 58) goes unchallenged, much of what appears to be true in our lives must be repudiated. For example, the author responds to a college student in a seminar in Nigeria, West Africa: 'The truth is many “old disease have been lumped together and are called AIDS.” The point is all these “causes of death” are drug-related. No one ever died of “HIV” or from any “virus” of any kind!

Incredible as it may seem, Dr. Anderson put together an interview with his late mentor, Dr. T. C. Fry (see pages 158-201). The late T. C. Fry is the author of The Great AIDS Hoax, and the writer implies Fry’s death was not unrelated to his detailed expose of the “AIDS hoax.” Wow!

There are simple truths that rock the foundations of what we have taken for granted as being true. Dr. Anderson says, for example, “If you keep on doing what you’ve been doing, you will keep on getting what you've been getting.” Cause and effect, effects of cause: it all boils down to what we take into our bodies. Cancer, says the author, is a direct result of toxins in the food chain; AIDS, on the other hand, is a result of drugs and chemicals. Both are systemic poisoning structures, the former by benign neglect, the latter by purpose and intent. One is manslaughter; the other is murder.

When all is said and done, the author's main point is that the most serious of all human disease conditions is human greed. If you are like me, you will disagree with much of what this writer postulates; but, you’ll spend some good hours rethinking “information” you used to comfortably take at face value. After reading this book, I see many things with a brand new perspective. I found a lot to holler
