Dr. Harry Rudolph Alsleben has had a magnificent obsession for at least 38 of his 64 years. Trained in medical science, theology and Egyptology, he has conducted extensive investigations into healing and revitalization techniques used by ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Hebrew cultures. A physician, osteopath and Surgeon, he has contributed more than 30 diagnostic and therapeutic programs to the field of medicine, and has spent the last 25 years creating the specialty of preventive medicine. He has had six clinics in five states and three hospitals in foreign countries, and has treated more than 65,000 patients for chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, hardening of the arteries, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, candida and advanced aging. His book, How to Survive The New Health Catastrophes, is now a classic in the field and has not needed revisions or corrections since he wrote it in 1973. With his Molecular Energy Research Team, he is preparing a preventive and corrective therapy for the treatment of cancer and AIDS. The initial objective, says Alsleben, was to establish methods of destroying microbes and viruses in the human body through the mechanism of molecular resonance. Such a therapy is based on enhancement of the immune system and is a radical departure from the conventional viewpoint. What we're essentially doing, says Alsleben, is treating AIDS by not treating AIDS.

The only child of German immigrants, Alsleben was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in May of 1933. He recalls an inner sense of mission objective, which emerged with the death of the family dog. His attempts as a six-year-old to bring it back to life became a pivotal event in his life. There was no doubt in my mind growing up that I would be a physician, he says. An intuitive thinker, Alsleben showed keen interest in philosophy and religion and wanted to become a minister. High school counselors encouraged him to put science first, so he attended Kent State, Kansas City College of Surgery and Osteopathy, California College of Medicine, Palmer School of Chiropractic and a dental school in Cleveland before obtaining two degrees in theology. He later went through five years of Jungian analytical training and began a therapy practice.

After six medical residency preceptorships, Alsleben had what he calls a rude awakening when one of his patients had a massive heart attack and died at the age of 28. I hadn't detected it and felt something must be missing in my diagnostics, so I sent a questionnaire to 2,500 other physicians and asked what their annual complete physical exam consisted of, he says. The resulting protocol consisted of twelve blood and six urine tests (called complete even though there are maybe 100 things that could be measured in the urine, notes Alsleben). To test the efficacy of this protocol, Alsleben set up a laboratory in a van that could produce these tests; then, he hooked up hot line phones into forty hospitals in the vicinity, so they could call when a patient was going to die. We would perform these tests just before and just after death; what we found was that there was no change in the test, so I concluded that the complete, executive medical exams couldn't tell the difference between life and death! he states emphatically. Alsleben then surveyed 2,500 senior citizens, asking them to identify things they had suffered from during their lives; he found that, statistically, we would all contract chronic, debilitating diseases if something else didn't kill us first. After listing the diseases they reported and cross-referencing the symptoms, he says, I concluded that we don't really have diseases, we have sick people. What we call a disease isn't really a disease, it's a conglomerate of symptoms. And, if we're not treating diseases we can ignore all those catastrophic things that statistically can happen to us in our lifetimes and, instead, concentrate on the biochemical changes that lead to cellular malfunction, resulting in tissue, organ and system malfunction.

Alsleben next performed his own battery of 100 biochemical tests on 5,000 people (that's 500,000 tests!) over a five-year period and found that every single person tested (even, he points out, people as young as two years old) had what he now considers to be the major problems of modern man: cellular malfunction, heavy metal poisoning and infection of the blood. This distillation became what he calls the biochemical basis of disease and led to his research in molecular resonance. In the course of his effort to determine the sonic resonant frequencies of bacterial cell walls (hoping to destroy infection by electro-mechanical methods), Alsleben was offered the opportunity to buy the late Royal Rife's equipment. I went through notes that detailed his efforts to determine the resonant frequency at which a microbe's membranes would rupture, says Alsleben. But it occurred to me that there is a danger in tuning in to a frequency with the intention to rupture only a particular molecule-other very similar structures might rupture along with it. We thought we could fine tune the concept by using nature's mathematics, a system we developed after studying the work of the Italian mathematician Fibonacci.

Proceeding from the Fibonacci Spiral, a numerical model based on plant, animal and marine ratios, the team observed that nature's numbers applied accurately to the internal dimensions of the hydrogen atom; they later verified the hydrogen measurement system in both the Sumerian and Egyptian Bureau of Standards. Using what they now call the RA Numbers (short for Rods of Amon Ra'), they recalculated the speed of light and retuned musical note frequencies, applying them to the music of Bach and other great composers. They then converted over 2,000 known pyramid measurements to the RA numbers. Our work led us to what we believe to be the mathematical system that was used to build the Great Pyramid, a system which was not extensively used in the construction of other buildings in Egypt, says Alsleben. As our system evolved, we observed the appearance of pi, phi and the Fibonacci numbers and ratios. The Egyptians, he reminds us, had a conception of PI greater than any other culture and liberally expressed it in their art forms. His team took a cross-sectional diagram of known interior structures in the Great Pyramid and put it on a 35mm slide, then drew a Fibonacci Spiral on another slide and, using two film projectors, superimposed the two images. Every structure in the Pyramid touched someplace on the arm of the spiral except the startup spiral, says Alsleben. So, we thought there must be a hidden chamber and we mathematically predicted it would be there. Subsequent excavations by other groups have supported Alsleben's findings.

The discovery may have been the reason he received special permission to access birth chambers in the Pyramid, where he discovered great detail about the genealogy of gods like Osiris and Ra (whom Alsleben speculates were probably real people). But his fascination was with the Pharaoh Imenhotep and the hieroglyphic mandalas he reputedly used to repair Egyptian royalty. Applying the RA Numbers to Imenhotop's incubation and funerary techniques, Alsleben constructed a light source that flashed an evoked potential stimulus in real time with the Schumann Resonance (ELF emanations), and says that, we were able to modify transmissions through the autonomic peripheral nervous system and affect disease and healing at the organ level. Alsleben was also fascinated with the famous Pharaoh's Curse, a biological booby-trap he personally tripped just by passing through an entrance guarded by a glyphic warning. Like those who offend the Hawaiian Goddess Pele, he experienced intense physical aftereffects, and knows firsthand that the glyphic curse is more than a myth.

Alsleben notes that the Egyptian hieroglyphic language is not a phonetic, but an optical language. Glyphs, he explains, convey experiences that are genetically encoded; so if a high priest wanted to advance someone he would create a glyph sequence that would affect the autonomic nervous system as soon as the person looked at it. Alsleben considers the Rx symbol on modern prescriptions a common glyph with a colorful history. If I remember correctly, it is the Eye of Horus, he says. In the Greek culture it meant By the Grace of Apollo, may this potion work'. So the prescription starts out with a prayer and goes on to give directions. Alsleben points out that homeopathy uses this ritualistic discipline, intensive concentration, almost meditation on an individual's remedy is a form of prayer that is transmitted into the remedy during succession; the magnetic moment of hydrogen left in the solution has the capacity to absorb an engram message. In fact, he continues, saying grace at the table is actually a command to accompany the ingested food so it's directed to what it should do. We waste that opportunity by giving very general instructions when we could give explicit instructions as to what we want the food to do, we could even have flash cards with hieroglyphs on them and look at them while we're eating! Alsleben laughs, but has actually prepared such visual aids and includes them in correspondence course materials available to students at his University of the Healing Arts.

Visual aids and verbal commands to the body may turn out to be one of the most potent protections we have in fighting deadly viruses such as ebola, hanta and bovine leukemia. One of our worst enemies isn't even a virus, but a normal body protein called a prion molecule. Smaller than any known virus, it can aberrate and remain dormant for up to 30 years, suddenly attacking the central nervous system and creating holes in the brain like Swiss cheese. It is this frightening phenomenon that is responsible for Mad Cow Disease in animals and, according to Alsleben, may be implicated in Alzheimer's disease in humans. Alsleben believes the Mad Cow situation is far worse than we're being led to believe and could lead to a plague worse than AIDS and everything else combined. If you do a search on the Internet under Mad Cow', he says, about 75% of the articles you'll find are white-washed when you compare them to what you get running a search on the word prion'. After reading Deadly Feast, Alsleben and his companion have stopped eating meat and all animal by-products. Don't read that book unless you're ready to make some real lifestyle changes, he warns. Meanwhile, he continues to use his physical, psychological and spiritual training to provide people with opportunities for self-empowered growth and health. There's an interplay in my work between the science, the metaphysics, religion and Egyptology, they are all woven together so you have a more useful tool, he states.

A fascinating component of that tool is a unique synthesis of astrology and the I Ching, or Chinese Book of Changes, which Alsleben asserts isn't Chinese at all, but Egyptian. According to him, Egyptian astrology and the I Ching are a single science based on the human genome. Egyptian astrology signs are not in a linear pattern from 1 to 12, but have six signs on two side-by-side parallelograms, he says. When you trace them through their evolution you get the figure-eight, the DNA spiral. If we then put three I Ching tri grams left and three on the right, and the Father and Mother in the middle, we have the same matrix; now they are identical to and superimposable upon the astrology matrix.

Alsleben tells a humorous story about his introduction to the I Ching, a work he had heard of from professional peers, but which he had dismissed years earlier. While my cat and I were sleeping, a huge, loud voice said, CHING! We both leapt off the bed and I went to my study, sat down in my big swivel armchair, swung it around to my bookcase and let my eyes roam around (which is the best way to make discoveries). They focused on Wilhelm's book on the I Ching (the one with Jung's foreward which states that he frequently used the I Ching to enter the subconscious). I thought that if Jung thought it was great, I ought to look at it. After studying it, Alsleben concluded that the I Ching is truly accurate, yet completely wrong in its math. I took the tri grams and tried to reassemble them into a hierarchy that would match modern physics and nature's numbers. By maneuvering them into various positions, I came up with an understanding launched by careful evaluation of comments on astrology in the Old and New Testaments. The Hebrew astrology was not on a circle or a straight line, but on a square. We can use the Gospels and put the genealogy map of the Archetypal Gospel figures over the astrology map and find relationships that suggest the evolution of the psycho-spiritual being, the growth cycle your soul or spirit takes and problems it encounters along the way.

Alsleben claims to have had experiences of a fourth and fifth kind in Egypt but doesn't care to elaborate on them, though he once prepared a science fiction movie script that was accepted by several studios. When the project failed to materialize, he created the University of the Healing Arts with sequential correspondence lessons leading to Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral programs in Homeology and Pneumology, two new professions created to utilize his knowledge, experience and discoveries. He was recently asked by The Art of Better Living, a network marketing nutrition company, to serve as medical director and to create new products and educational materials.

While he formulates new products designed to protect, correct, and prevent the imbalances that lead to systemic illness, Alsleben continues to look to the ancient past for instruction. Having read and been influenced by the works of Zecharia Sitchin, he feels certain that the most mysterious structures on earth were built by extraterrestrial beings who may still be exerting a powerful influence upon our planet. As he expresses it, Ancient structures like the Giza Pyramid provide ample evidence of extra-terrestrial invasions on this planet. Who on earth, he asks, at the time of the construction of the Great Pyramid, knew of the value of the Hydrogen, Rydberg and Fine Structure Constants, the diameter of the hydrogen atom and the various spectral lines of hydrogen? How did they learn of and devise a use for numbers for which modern scientists have only recently discovered an almost exclusively military application? Humanity will be much better off when the thoughts as well as the stones of the ancient Egyptians are resurrected.
