Intriguing Anomalies: An Introduction to Scientific Detective Work

Intriguing Anomalies: An Introduction to Scientific Detective Work (Washington, D.C.: Scientia Press, 2008) analyzes the craft of scientific detective work via a series of case studies, with an historical case (Trojans and Etruscans) and a criminal one (the 2001 anthrax mailings) for comparison. It is intended for scientists and lay readers interested in detective techniques, creativity, the theory and practice of science, respiratory medicine, photomedicine, transdermal pharmacology, and the scientific mechanisms of natural medical therapies. Intriguing Anomalies concludes with a Theory of the Red Blood Cells and a chapter of key lessons for researchers regarding the application of qualitative analytical techniques in scientific detective work.

Close-to-Nature Medicine

Close-to-Nature Medicine (Washington, D.C.: Scientia Press, 2003) applies conceptual thinking to the tasks of analyzing the mechanisms of natural remedies and devising new therapies. It is intended for scientists, medical practitioners, and lay readers interested in photomedicine, microminerals, nutrition, and methods of contending with scientific rejectionism. Close-to-Nature Medicine includes a thorough, up-to-date description of Biophotonic Therapy in its evolutionary and physiological contexts, including such phenomena as the "phosphorescence of wounds", and it details the track record of BT as an effective treatment of disseminated viral infections that resemble HIV and smallpox. Close-to-Nature Medicine is also available in a Chinese edition.

Here is a review.

Healing Photons (1998) contains an extensive discussion of the history, mechanisms of action, clinical track record, and indications of Biophotonic Therapy--the pharmacology of light. In it can be found the original Knott patent and detailed, documented accounts of the performance of BT against a wide range of indications, based on the Russian, German, and older American medical literature. The author investigates the rise, fall, and reemergence of this 80-year old therapy--a history with many twists, repeated encounters with unthinking rejectionism and neglect, but also with tales of courage, persistence, and success.
