[00:00:09] Welcome to lessons from the helpful dead, where you will learn the world is not what it seems you are much more than you think you are. Here you learn about positive and reassuring messages from supposedly dead people whose main purpose is to help us find out what happens after we die, why we're here, how we got here, where we're going, and discover that you are really a powerful eternal spirit. I'm Dan McEnany.
[00:00:36] As you might know, in recent episodes, we've been talking about the UKCO enterprise and how the three Princeton graduates in the 1950s were able to use photographic projections to get rid of pests in various agricultural fields. Well, 30 years before the demise of Uko, a young engineer for the Kansas City Power and light company named Galen Hieronymus was one of the first to be granted an amateur radio operator's license before World War one.
[00:01:13] He was asked by one of his neighbors, a doctor planck, to machine various parts of for some instrumentation which required precise components, such as strips of silver plate cut to exact proportions and carefully wound coils. Beyond referring to a mysterious medical genius in San Francisco with whom he had studied fantastic new techniques to treat disease, Planck did not enlighten his young machinist as to the purpose of the new instruments he was helping to build. It was only after Planck died and his wife asked Hieronymus to come to the house, look over a workroom that was full of strange equipment, but she had no use for it, so she told him to select whatever he wanted. At that time, Hieronymus learned the real purpose of the equipment he'd been machining, and that the name of the unknown surgeon was Albert Abrams. And that's who we're going to talk about today. Now, at the end of the 19th century, so we're talking, what, the 1890s? Now, right at the end of the 19th century, Doctor Albert Abrams, who was the son of a successful San Francisco merchant from whom he had inherited a vast amount of wealth. He traveled to Heidelberg to study advanced medicine.
[00:02:36] In Naples, he watched the famous italian center, Enrico Caruso. He watched him flick a wine glass with his finger to produce a pure tone. And then Caruso stepped back, and by singing the same note, he shattered the glass. Now, this impressive feat awoke in Abrams the idea that he might have stumbled on a fundamental principle which could be tied into medical diagnosis and healing. Now, at the University of Heidelberg's medical school, from which he was to get top honors in the gold medal, Abrams met a professor desour, who was engaged in a bizarre series of experiments with plants.
[00:03:23] Doctor Sauer told Abrams that while transplanting onion seedlings, he inadvertently left some of the uprooted onions next to those still growing in one of the several flats. Two days later, he noticed the seedlings growing on the side of the flat next to the dying plants were different in appearance from those on the opposite side. He couldn't explain that, but Abrams was convinced the onion roots were emitting some strange form of radiation, and he linked this in his mind with the resonance phenomenon behind Caruso's voice. Shattered glass.
[00:04:00] Now, when Abrams returned to the US, he taught pathology at the Stanford University, the medical school. There he was later to become the director of medical studies.
[00:04:12] He was there. He was a superb diagnostician, and he was a master of the art of percussion.
[00:04:19] He could tap the body of a patient to produce resonating sounds or frequencies, right? Which became clues to whatever ills might be afflicting the patient.
[00:04:31] Let me repeat that. He was a superb diagnostician. He was a master at the art of percussion. Could tap the body of a patient to produce resonating sounds, which became clues to whatever ills might be afflicting the patient. That's important. And when we get in the next session to discussing Sherry Edwards, we can remember that. I'll refer back to it. One day, Abrams noticed that a nearby x ray apparatus was switched on without warning, and it dulled the resonant note that he was getting from his tapping. Well, he was perplexed, so he rotated his patient and discovered the strange dulling of the frequency he was getting. It occurred only while the man faced east and west, but when he was engaged and rather aligned to north and south, he was aligned north and south.
[00:05:25] The percussion note was continually resonant, so north and south. And you might remember in past episodes, the entity Seth recommended you sleep in a north south position so that you could be resonant with the earth's energies.
[00:05:43] So, at any rate, Abrams deduced that there seemed to be a relationship between the geomagnetic field and the electromagnetic fields of individuals. He later discovered a similar effect was produced by a man with a cancerous ulcer of the lip, even when the x ray machine wasn't operating. So, after several months of experimentation with people who were afflicted with various maladies, Abrams concluded that nerve fibers in a certain region not only react by contracting to the stimulus of x rays, but appear to be in a state of permanent contraction in the case of a patient suffering from cancer, except when the patient is oriented in a north south direction.
[00:06:35] Because of this similarity, he concluded that the contractions due in the first case to what he called radiant energy rippling from an x ray instrument. They were, in the second case, taking place in response to vibrating molecules which were collectively forming the cancerous growth, once again, vibrating molecules. That relates to frequency. Now, one day, Abrams asked his houseboy to accompany him to class, and he asked him to step onto a lecture platform, stripped to the waist and face west.
[00:07:10] As he tapped the young fellow just above the navel, Abrams told his students to listen carefully to the hollow, resonant quality of the note that he was obtaining.
[00:07:21] He then asked one young doctor in training to hold a specimen of cancerous tissue in light contact with the boy's forehead, applying it for a few seconds, removing it, and then applying it again. And as Abrams continuously percussed the abdomen, the class was amazed to hear the note change from resonance to dullness each time the specimen was placed on the boy's forehead, apparently because of a contraction of muscle fibers.
[00:07:54] Now, when Abrams substituted a tuberculosis specimen for the cancer specimen, the resonance of the note did not change. But when he began tapping an area just below the navel, the same effect was produced. So he was forced to conclude that the unknown waves from diseased specimens could be received and recorded by a healthy human body and that they somehow altered the character of its tissues. Now, then, after months of work, he was able to show there's a series of what he called electronic reactions, varying from cancerous and tubercular to malaria, etcetera.
[00:08:38] They could be pinpointed on different areas of the trunk of a healthy person.
[00:08:43] This led him to proclaim that the time honored idea that disease was of cellular origin was simply out of date and it had to be discarded. Instead, he maintained it was because the molecular constituents of cells undergo a structural alteration, specifically, a change in the number and the arrangement of their electrons, that they developed characteristics which only later become visible at the microscope.
[00:09:16] Now, this, at the time, was an amazing and certainly controversial finding.
[00:09:22] Instead of disease being caused by certain chemical reactions in the cells, he was saying, cause could be found in the number and the arrangement of electrons, once again relating to frequency and going on from there, Abrams then found that radiation from some kind of pathological specimen could be transmitted like electricity over a six foot wire. Now, when a skeptical doctor challenged Abrams to find the exact location of a tuberculosis infection in his lung for which he'd been receiving treatment, Abrams immediately had the man hold one disc against his forehead, and he got another student to pass a second disc over the man's chest until the percussing note changed in tone. The baffled man admitted Abrams had located the infection within centimeters.
[00:10:21] Now, since one spot on the trunk of a healthy person reacted to not just one, but several pathological specimens, Abrams began to conceive of an instrument that could differentiate between the wavelengths of all specifically diseased tissues.
[00:10:38] After months of research, he worked out what he called a reflexophone.
[00:10:43] It was an instrument like a rheostat, a continuously variable electrical resistor that regulates current and could emit sounds which would vary in pitch, and thus got rid of the necessity to have to tap a specific point on the body. Now, that was a very important discovery, because now different diseases could be read from the dial.
[00:11:07] So you'd have, like 55 for a syphilitic specimen, 58 for sarcoma tissue, and so on. Abrams asked his assistant to mix up the specimens and found he could infallibly select or quote, diagnose by checking the readings on his indicator. So here you have an electronic reading from an instrument that would tell you what kind of disease the person had. Now, as I mentioned earlier, what he was discovering was directly in contradiction to the prevailing medical philosophies and understandings of the day. But he then went on to an even more fantastic revelation when he found out he could diagnose the ills of the human body with his instrument from a single drop of the body's blood.
[00:11:51] Further, by apparently inducting the effect from one reflexophone to another one which contained three rheostats calibrated in units of ten, one, and 120 5th, he was able to determine not only what disease a person was suffering, but to what stage it had advanced. Now, next, he went beyond even what I can understand, given the information from the helpful dead. Even what I've learned from the helpful dead doesn't quite explain what he next found out. And that was if there was a woman who was afflicted with breast cancer, for example, he could determine from her blood spot alone in which breast the cancer was located merely by having a healthy, percussed subject point with his fingertips to his own breasts. In exactly the same way, Abrams could reveal the exact site of tubercular or any other disease condition, whether it was in the lungs, the bowel, the bladder, the vertebrae, whatever, anywhere in the body. Now, one day, Abrams was demonstrating to his class the reaction induced by the blood of a malaria patient. He suddenly turned and he said, look, there are upwards of 40 of you physicians present. Probably all of you would prescribe quinine to someone who was suffering from this disease, malaria. But can anyone of you offer any scientific reason for doing so, for prescribing the quinine?
[00:13:24] Nobody replied. So then Abrams took out a few grains of sulfate of quinine. He put them where the blood drop had been in the device.
[00:13:34] It produced exactly the same percussion note as malaria. He then placed the malaria container, or material, rather, the material, in the container, together with a grain or so of quinine wrapped in tissue paper.
[00:13:51] Now, the percussion, which had produced a dull sound indicating malaria, gave a resonance sound. So, to the amazed class, Abrams put forward the suggestion that radiations emitted by quinine molecules canceled out those from the malaria molecules, so that the effect on malaria from quinine was due to an unsuspected and unknown electrical law, a law which should become the subject of intensive research, he said.
[00:14:28] And various other known antidotes behaved similarly, as he showed mercury against syphilis, to cite but one example. So, once again, we come back to that same basic conclusion. Every disease has its own frequencies and radiations from that disease. If you can find a substance, find a substance that has the exact same frequency, it can cancel out the disease. Now, Abrams knew if he could devise a wave emitting instrument similar to a wireless broadcasting station, right, that could alter the character of the waves transmitted by malaria or syphilis, he might cancel out the waves of the malaria or syphilis as effectively as quinine or mercury did. So the quinine and mercury worked, but so could waves of a certain frequency.
[00:15:28] Now, this was so startling that even Abrams himself believed that, okay, you had to stop here. We can't know anything more.
[00:15:36] But then he eventually built what he called an oscilloclast with the help of a friend, Samuel Hoffman. He was a distinguished radio research engineer. He achieved fame in world War one by devising a unique method for detecting german zeppelins approaching the us coast at a great distance. So he developed for Abrams the oscilloclast, or wave breaker, that could emit waves capable of cutting human afflictions by apparently altering or canceling out the radiations emitted by various diseases. So, by 1919, Abrams began teaching its use to physicians, who, because neither they nor Abrams could really explain it, regarded it as nothing short of miraculous. Now, in 1922, Abrams reported in the physical clinical journal that for the first time, he had affected, over telephone wires, the diagnosis of a patient miles away from his office, using nothing more than a drop of blood from the patient and analysis of its vibratory rates by his electronic instruments.
[00:16:46] Now, this claim finally aroused the ire of the American Medical association, the AMA. So they published a defamatory article that impugned Abrams in his journal as a quack. And the article which parroted in England, the medical.
[00:17:04] The article itself was parroted in England, the british medical journal. Now, when the british medical Journal reprinted that article, it caused Sir James Barr, the past president of the medical association, to comment on this. And his comment is interesting because he had been successfully using Abrams methods in his own practice. And here's what he said. He said, you very seldom quote from the journal of the American Medical association. One might have expected when you did, you'd have chosen a more serious subject than an ignorant tirade against an eminent medical man, against, in my opinion, the greatest genius in the medical profession. Barr concluded that one day medical editors and medical men will begin to perceive that there was more to Abrams vibrations than was dreamt of in their philosophy. To summarize briefly, Abrams greatest discoveries were that all matter is radioactive and that the generated waves of can be picked up across space by using human reflexes as detectors, and that in many conditions of disease, dull patches are consistently found at specific spots on afflicted patients bodies. So when Abrams died in 1924, the vilification against him continued in the US in, like the Scientific American, really attacked him. One of the worst insinuations was that the Abrams box had been devised for no other purpose than to make a financial killing by selling it to naive physicians and an unsuspecting public. Of course, they ignored the fact that Abrams was already a millionaire in his own right, and all he wanted to do was help humanity. One interesting note here there was a young Los Angeles chiropractor, Doctor Ruth Drown Drow nd at the time, who made some refinements on Abrams devices.
[00:19:03] And her most startling accomplishment was her development of a camera that could be used to take pictures of organs and tissues of patients using nothing but a drop of their blood, even when the patients were hundreds or thousands of miles away.
[00:19:19] So, even more startling, she could take pictures in a cross section which couldn't be done with x rays.
[00:19:25] So she received a british patent for what really was a 21st century apparatus. Right? She received a british patent, but her claim was relegated by the FDA in the United States. Here, the FDA authorities, the Federal Drug Administration, the FDA authorities relegated her invention to the realm of science fiction. And they actually just confiscated her equipment in the early 1940s.
[00:19:57] And so to make sure that her plate was suitably publicized and that her reputation was ruined, they saw to it that reporters from Life magazine were on the scene when they took her equipment away. So after the Life magazine story presented her as a charlatan. She died of grief and unrecognized genius. Well, that concludes today's session on Doctor Abrams and his discovery that each disease has its own individual frequency. And by using and projecting the right frequencies against the disease, he could cure it. And that will lead into the discussion for our next session, where we talk about Sherry Edwards. Once again, I'm Dan McEnany, bringing you lessons from the helpful dead.
