- HARMFUL TELLURIC RADIATIONS -
by
E. Dudley Haskell
Founder of the American Society of Radiesthesia
Doctors, scientists, and laymen in western Europe who are radie-sthesists, and there are thousands of them, have discovered that there are narrow bands of radiations issuing from the earth that have a dangerously harmful influence on all living organisms, including plant life.
They have investigated thousands of cases of cancer, and have found that in every instance the persons suffering from cancer, or who had died of cancer, had been living over these radiations - which, they believe, cause a disequilibrium of the cells of the body.
Though it is thought that one must be predisposed to cancer for these radiations to initiate it, they claim that everyone will stiffer in one way or another (have one disease or another) by a prolonged stay over them, such as sleeping over them or sitting over them every day for several hours. There are even cases of madness attributed to these radiations. Doctors, such as Dr. Alfred Roux, of Vichy, France, who give a treatment that is perfectly suited to patients (a treatment selected by radiesthesic syntonization) and who find that their patients do not improve, have discovered that in every case the patient's bed was over telluric radiations. They then have them move their beds, or move to another room, and have noted that only then do the patients begin to respond to the same treatment.
There are numerous cases of houses that are known locally in Europe as "cancer houses", because all families that live in them develop cancer - and radiesthesists have discovered that in every such case the house was over strong telluric radiations. In a talk about this before doctors in London, Dr. Oscar Brunler mentioned a house in Berkeley Square in which 38 persons had died of cancer in a period of ten years.
Such radiations are so powerful that they have been detected in airplanes at an altitude of over 16,000 feet.
These bands of radiations are not imaginary. A number of modern scientific laboratory devices for the detection of faint currents, called milliampere-meters, when placed over these radiations, show immediately that they exist. And if such an instrument is moved only a few inches to one side or the other of such a band of radiations, it ceases to give any indications. Another physical proof is to place a vase of male ferns over one of these radiations, and a similar vase of ferns to one side. Within 24 hours the ferns over the radiation's will be shriveled up and will not have consumed any water, where those in the other vase will be flourishing and will have consumed a great deal of water.
Animals respond to these radiations. A dog will not remain over them, but a cat seeks them out and thrives over them. Ants seem to require them, and if harmful telluric radiations are removed from an ant-hill, the ants will all migrate to another band of radiations and settle there. Almost every book on Radiesthesia mentions them and every radiesthesist is aware of them, but there is no general agreement about what they are. The most general belief is that they come from geological faults - cracks in the earth that occurred ages ago during great upheavals.
Two explanations are given: 1) that water finds these cracks or faults a convenient path, and the friction of the water may send up the radiations. Also, since such cracks permit surface waters to trickle down, the water is polluted, and it is believed that any stream of polluted water (even a sewer) emits dangerous radiations. 2) that electricity is always flowing through the earth, and when it meets a geological fault and cannot flow on normally (because the strata have shifted and-the normal positive and negative polarities no longer face each other, possibly), the electricity builds up a potential great enough to jump or even explode across the fault, and this constant high potential sends up a radiation.
Monsieur Georges Lakhovsky believed that these bands of harmful radiations were caused by cosmic rays (and he listed many more than science of today has accepted) meeting various types of soil. If they strike a soil that is permeable to them, they are absorbed; but when they meet a soil that is refractory to them they are reflected upward. He has developed this theory in several of his books, but more particularly in his "Contribution a l'Etiologie du Cancer", illustrated with maps which show the relationships of types of soil to the density of cancer cases. Dr. Oscar Brunler, having made a serious study of telluric radiations, also believes that there are regions where cancer incidence is greater, as well as houses over bands of radiations.
Besides the studies of numerous French doctors and scientists - too numerous to mention here by name - Dr. Gotsche, Baron von Pohl, and Professor Ugo Bach called attention to these dangerous telluric radiations. Some claim that the radiations are radioactive; Dr. Brunler believes they are composed of Beta rays, 10%, and Gamma rays 90%. A French engineer, M. Cody, found they were 7,722 times more powerful than the radiations of black oxide of uranium. A professor of the faculty of science of Dijon (France) believes they are radon. But in every case they correspond to the negative green radiation of light, which destroys living organisms - and which can be found massively in the so-called King's Chamber of the pyramid of Cheops. Dr. Brunler says that this chamber was the initiation room, and that these radiations had the effect of separating or loosening the etheric body from the physical body.
Our limited space prevents us from giving dozens of names and citing the many facts concerning these harmful radiations - for they would fill volumes. Among the various authors, about 20 different methods of eliminating these radiations from a room or home have been mentioned, all requiring a fair knowledge of radiesthesia. A very small minority of radiesthesists believe that they cannot be eliminated, but this is undoubtedly due to faulty radiesthesic technique.
The radiations may be detected on a map or a drawing, or even a sketch of a room or home. This month's Bulletin of the American Society of Radiesthesia tells its members how to detect and eliminate them, and offers to have it done on a fee basis by a competent radiesthesist for those who feel unable to do it themselves.
In general, serious radiesthesists believe that the day will come when people will know enough to eliminate these radiations from all buildings, and believe that the mortality rate from cancer will then be reduced to an insignificant level. It is a tragic fact that these radiations exist in hospitals, and a patient lying over them, it is claimed, cannot get better - and it would be so easy to eliminate them!
If radiesthesia could do nothing more than this, it would be to everyone's advantage to take up the study, and be able to protect themselves and their loved ones from needless suffering. *
