P.S. to Robert C. Petersen I did your recommended web search on Dr. Robert C Beck. Found some of his 'research' at rarebooks.net.
"A tested, revolutionary but almost unbelievable medical discovery may enable rapid AIDS, Epstein-Barr, Hepatitis, Cancer, Lupus and other disease elimination. [...] NO doctors, surgery, drugs, diet, medical bills, shots, herbs, or outside intervention. This breakthrough is now yours despite apparent suppression by medical and pharmaceutical cartels."
Thank you very much for that lead. Now I know beyond any reasonable doubt that this is all total quackery.
P.P.S. (Back to the main subject) Please note that even though I am quite a skeptic, I still take Y2K quite seriously. |
