The Hidden Potential of the Human Body

At a café in Hull I was interviewing Pippa and Ian.³⁸⁰ The conversation turned to certain individuals who were put on an activist/terrorist watch-list by the authorities:

N: So he was connected with fracking?

I: No. Just a bog standard left-wing guy, never expecting to change the world, but wanting to get involved in a few local issues, see what you could do. I met the guy. Least likely guy you would expect to [be on a list] –

P: People who watch Star Trek and X Files are put on watch lists. Patrick mentioned it.³⁸¹ Someone put it online. In the 80s – you were put on lists!

I: It’s much deeper than this. We’re only scratching the surface here. But it’s the active surface. It’s front line. Why do you think it is they have tried to track everyone who is rhesus negative?

N: Blood-type, right? Why? I don’t know.

I: Because the DNA is very different from everybody else’s.

P: You should speak to <bob> and <bob> who did an interview on Legalise Freedom Radio – he was talking about DNA [and] brought a book out.

N: DNA . . . its healing potential? Or what?

I: The full human potential goes way beyond anything we can begin to imagine, and what elements in the establishment know is some of these capabilities are starting to emerge.

That’s part of why they had this multi-pronged attack, to keep everybody in the black.

They know that every human has the potential to achieve their full potential, whatever that might be, whenever they come into this physical realm, and their challenge is to make sure this doesn’t happen. Zabrinski [author of The Grand Chessboard] acknowledged it a few years ago when he established a one world government fearing a spiritual, political awakening of the masses. Everyone has different talents in the physical and material

380 Pippa is considered to be a front-line activist within the truth movement who has made great gains through freedom of information requests regarding the use of biometric technology in schools. Ian is a

“big hitter” within truth-seeking network here in Britain who speaks extensively across different groups, was a founding member of the United Kingdom’s former “official” 9/11 Truth group, organises the annual Alternative View conferences, and is the leading activist in the opposition to fracking.

381 Patrick is a well-known speaker/radio-host within Truth Movement, from America, who spoke at an Alternative View conference.

147 realms – write, draw, talk – it’s exactly the same with the non-material capabilities – they are all different. The establishment just knows that when those talents start to emerge they’re not going to have the tools to control them. And they, it seems, they-who-think-they-are-the-rightful-rulers, don’t have access to these capabilities, which is why they try and find people who do display capabilities.

This interview draws attention to the fundamental importance attributed to man’s biology. DNA belongs to the category of physicality, to biological materiality, but is tied intimately to non-material phenomena that humankind have the potential to harness. This mention of blood-type cropped up repeatedly across different theoretical areas, perhaps most popularly (certainly within popular representations of “conspiracy theorists”) in connection with ruling “bloodlines”; blood, ubiquitous to all, serves as a key symbol and metaphor with which to talk about the conspired world. Ian’s assertion that rhesus negative DNA is different to other types paints it as more advanced than others in evolutionary terms; all individuals are believed to possess a capacity for extra-ordinary abilities except the psychopathic conspirers. The “front line” of conspiracy narratives then, is humanity’s most immediate environment, the external world embodied organically in the human body itself. This latter theme recurred constantly; the body is the battlefield. Human potentiality is part of the natural human condition, suppressed by an elite who are ontologically less-than-human. Truth-seekers thus seek ways to reclaim the extraordinary as an ordinary staple of human existence.

Restoring Deficiency

In my interview with Sally the capacity of the body for self-healing was the subject of much of our conversation.

S: To be honest, you know when people are born – your anatomy is so diverse between families, all your organs look different to someone else’s, and some people – it’s like in my family, depression is really bad. So, people have committed suicide. My daughter’s having a bout of it at the moment. My dad has it, I have it, and it’s a chemical imbalance.

Our bodies find it hard to metabolise B vitamins and we need to top that up. So I think more people should put their trust in themselves to look after their own health, go to basics. If I’m getting depression maybe I’m not getting enough B vitamins. You can put that in your own hands and you can help it. There are deficient things in everyone, it’s just locating and pinpointing what they are, and becoming alright with that, and having vitamins so you won’t get depressed so much. I was on Prozac for a very long time and it wasn’t a very nice place. Young people on anti-depressants are more likely to commit suicide, so it’s not really helping. I believe if you are deficient in something, because of my experience with scurvy, and the pain, and everything, because I wasn’t giving my body what it needs. It’s a very important thing. I strongly believe in that so much now

148 because I’ve experienced it and I know it works. And the B vitamins as well. […] You can be fine and “click” it just comes. And when [my daughter] takes the B vitamins it starts to elevate because that’s what her body needed, and it’s reacting depressive because it’s saying, ‘I need these B vitamins to be alright’. If you’ve got a bad back and it’s aching, your body is saying it needs whatever.

N: It means it rephrases it. You’re not someone – S: - I’m not sick.

N: You’re someone who needs certain vitamins, and that’s different [to being sick], you’re not defined by it, you are a human being with needs.

S: Your body tells you what it wants. When they say, ‘I’m really sick, I’ve got cancer’, whatever, it’s the body crying out, saying, I need this now, because we’re getting bad because you’re not giving us what we need. And lo and behold, when you give your body what it needs, it does repair itself. It’s a fantastic machine. It needs far more respect than people give it. When you look after your body you look after you. If you’ve got any aches and pains you need to look into it and find out why. Because I went to the doctor’s and they didn’t do anything. It’s important and it can be solved by vitamins. Just changing your diet can cure cancer. And they know this. They’ll say it’s another conspiracy theory but the pharmaceutical company has power within the drug industry and they’re not going to make any profit if we take vitamins. It’s in their interest to be against alternative leads or diets, but as long as you do your research you’re not putting your health at risk. […]

But if everyone is well, they’ll be out of business. But if they keep giving people anti-depressants they can’t think then, and they’re not going to have a very good experience are they? […] The pharmaceutical company had good intentions initially, but it seems like it’s corrupted now. It was more natural at one point. It’s interesting because I like to look at things and in the Bible it was saying that, it wasn’t witchcraft, it was a Greek word, pharma, and pharmacy, and it was talking about it was the most evil thing and you can’t participate in it. So it’s a question in the past [too]. It’s a sign to say: pharmaceutical companies, don’t eat any of it, because it’s the worst thing you can possibly do. It’s forbidden.

Several key themes emerge from this excerpt. Firstly, there is the idea that the human body can take care of itself if it is not deficient in its lifeblood of vitamins. Diseases are not simply the result of deficiencies but the articulation of them. Having heard their message the individual is able to provide the body with whatever it needs. Depression is not to be solved but listened to.

This then comes down to self-education, and the deployment of self-knowledge as learned through personal research. Indeed, in light of the misguided state of the pharmaceutical approach to healthcare, it becomes the individual’s own responsibility to realise their body’s inherent state

149 of well-being. While Simone is a self-identified truth-seeker she does not speak in terms that are hard for an outsider to understand, indicating the way that the alternative approach is not unorthodox but merely heterodox, and even then such a classification is dependent on preconceived categories. The authority is not anti-scientific but is rather drawn from an alternative to the perceived dominant scientific approach, namely allopathic, instead championing a nutritional treatment that works with the human body.

Secondly, personal experiences of positive change affirmed the belief in the body’s own propensity for affecting a state of good health. There is an element of narrativisation present as Simone looks back to her time on Prozac which stands in stark contrast to the vitamin-based therapy. Such stories are powerful for the individual, and come to be shared within the truth movement, affecting a reconceptualisation of the human body by others.

Detoxing Toxicity

This was further confirmed by Dennis. A regular attendee at the Truthjuice, Hull, group for two years at the time, I asked him what he thought was the most valuable thing he had learned from the talks there:

D: The other night we had a guy who had stopped eating for 60 days, just drinking distilled water, and his body didn’t weaken at all. Dave Allegedly.³⁸² It was absolutely brilliant. He was drinking distilled water ‘cos that’s what flushes your system out. He was saying you don’t need to eat to live. In the Sumerian, it says the gods didn’t need to eat to live. They ate for pleasure. There’s a difference. The life force is from the air you breath, the oxygen. This is what Dave Allegedly says, and he proved it – 60 days. Could have continued but social pressure – wife wanted [him] to sit down at the table with the kids. He does eat a bit now, but he doesn’t eat much. You should also drink your own pee coz it’s purer than tap water. It also sends a message to your body to detox. Your body is full of toxins. That’s why people are fat and it’s hard to lose weight. It makes sense! I’m not a food lover. I hate food. I sometimes forget to eat. My mate’s in hospital – cancer of the stomach and other ailments. He’s a year younger than me, 62. I’m 63. I still run up and down the stairs, ladders, still fit. [I] don’t eat much sugar or chocolate.

N: I don’t understand about urine. Thought it was water plus toxins.

D: No, your toxins come out your poo. That’s through your liver. Your kidneys send the water out pure. Drink distilled water ‘coz it’s got no extra toxins like fluoride. That’s what he does. It tells your body to detox. Another thing he did, while on his 60 days, 2 weeks of it he decided to lay down for an hour and go through his gym training cycle, on hour, for two weeks. In the first 2 days he’d lost 7 lbs, then went back up to 5 and

150 stabilised – and he weren’t eating, and then he did this and his body built up even though he weren’t eating. That’s powerful testimony that. This guy is no bull shitter. He’d investigated it thoroughly before he even did it. The bottom line is. . . it costs you for food, it costs you for heating. When I was young, met my wife, I had long hair like yours, wore jeans and moccasins that soaked up the water, and a blue shirt, open to here, and a little blue hat on, and I weren’t cold. Mind over matter.

Dave Allegedly’s own experiences and practices are shared across the network with the physical meeting-place functioning as a platform. These are both filtered through Dennis’s personal experiences that stretch back to when he was much younger, thereby making these valuable and meaningful to him. His present-day dietary habits are vouchsafed as meaningful (or ‘sacred’ in Mol’s sense of acquiring a ‘taken-for-granted’ quality, or Rappaport’s sense of being ‘beyond question’) by drawing upon the traditional authority of the Sumerian myths.³⁸³ As with Simone, mystical-religious authority is combined with the credibility afforded to the alternative speaker who claimed to talk from his own personal experience (rather than intellectual abstractions associated with biomedical practitioners) alongside enough scientific plausibility.
