HYPE IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
2015 Dec 9 from Robert Gregory
Your messages always seem hyped up with bold and big print – I wonder why?
RESPONSE FROM GEG:
(This message is in response to a promotional mailing I made recently in which there was a headline and some bold text. The headline read: “Good news does not need hype” and it was followed by three testimonials from people who report health benefits from a product called Cardio Miracle.)
Bold text was used in the heading of one paragraph and also as an example of common marketing hype. These bolded words add up to 33 out of 499 in the full article. Mr. Gregory feels that using larger type for an article headline or sectional headings and using bold type for emphasis in 6.6% of the article is hype. You can see the original message here.
However hype may be defined, it includes the concept of being distasteful and unacceptable. Therefore hype is in the eye of the beholder. I believe that the Cardio Miracle article is a fairly good example of restraint and good taste in preparing an advertising message and that it contains no hype whatsoever. However, if there is a broad public perception that I am resorting to the very hype I speak against, then I need to adjust my writing style. To help me with that, please let me know if you feel that my advertising messages are with or without hype. Please vote here.

GUN CONTROL IN NAZI GERMANY A MYTH?
2015 Dec 6 from Peter Guenther
Right after the war, I saw with my own eyes the huge piles of guns collected during sweeping roundups by US troops to free the bad Germans of their guns. Get it? Their guns. How come our GIs collected in these roundups huge mountains of guns of any kind, hunting and military. How can it be that Hitler disarmed his people and yet, they had lots and lots of guns, more than ever before, at the end of the war?
How come you allow yourself to be used by the Shoa folk to spread their lies? How come you failed to truth-check the Shoa assertions about the laws that were supposed to disarm the Germans when the opposite was true? … Gun violence in Germany after the assumption of power by the Nazis disappeared completely. At the same time the government supported private gun ownership.
You did such a super job with your book “The Creature”. You are doing such a super job calling the bluff on all the skulduggery of the media. As one of the most brilliant unmaskers extant, I wonder what is in it for you to blindly repeat the demonizing lies about Germany?
I suggest you look at the literature that offers you the true history of WW II. One of the best places to start looking would be www.BarnesReview.com (1-877-773-9077).
REPLY BY GEG:
Hello Peter.
Until this week, I have not been aware of any reason to question the assertion that the Nazis instituted aggressive gun control. Please do not “wonder what is in it” for me “to blindly repeat the demonizing lies about Germany”. I have no axe to grind except the truth. Now I must do my own research on an item that I thought was not in question.
First, speaking of the disarmament of the German people by their leadership cannot be seen as demonizing Germany any more than calling attention to the disarmament of the American people by their leaders can be seen as demonizing America.
Second, I am not surprised that there were many guns in the hands of the German civilian population at the end of the war. It is logical that supporters of the regime would not only be allowed their guns but encouraged to have them. It would be amazing if any of the guns you saw confiscated by the US Army were taken from Jews, Poles, Gypsies, or anyone else that was in disfavor of the regime.
I am interested in learning a lot more about this, and I will pursue the Barnes Review reference you provided. A cursory examination, however, shows that the publishers believe that Hitler was more of a hero than a villain. Is that your perspective, also?
When you said in your letter that I am “spreading the lies” of the “Shoa folk”, I had to look up the word in the dictionary to learn that it refers to those who seek to perpetuate consciousness of the holocaust. That makes me wonder what that has to do with this issue. Is it you position that the common belief that there was aggressive gun control in Nazi Germany is the result of Shoa propaganda – and is this connected in any way to the controversy over the extent of – or even the existence of – the holocaust?
I will check this issue further, and I thank you for alerting me to the possibility that the Nazis did not administer gun control over the general population. It is an interesting assignment.

ANOTHER CANCER VICTOR WEIGHS IN
2015 Dec 6 from Dave.
Dearest Mr. Griffin, We simply cannot thank you enough for your work with World Without Cancer. It has been nearly six years now when Chris’ colon cancer diagnosis was received. I had WWC and the companion DVD on the shelf and had yet to read through it thoroughly.
A day or so of “regaining her footing” after hearing the doctor’s report, we watched the DVD, and Chris began a search online for cancer “success” stories. The more she looked, the more she found folks having success with natural and nutritional therapies. Imagine that!
Chris is the consummate researcher, and amassed and studied quite a library of books, web info, etc. on this now life-important topic. She decided to give the natural (what I now like to call “original medicine”) approach for a six-month trial. This took a great deal of energy, as her trusted doctor, feeling she was sure to only make her condition worse, fired her from her practice.
Chris found a women’s health doctor who was more understanding and willing to work with her. Chris combined B-17/Amygdaline, vegetable juicing, Essiac Tea, a focused nutritional supplement program, electrical stimulation, and exercise therapies to treat the cancer. Of course, the “dessert menu” was immediately discarded.
Six months later, Chris was enjoying an amazing improvement in her general health. At this time we found a competent endoscopy practice to do a sigmoid scope to see how the cancer was looking. The tumor, which at discovery was rather red and “angry” in appearance, had noticeably reduced in size and had come to a fuzzy orange look. Some of this material was in fact sluffing away. Chris’ body was doing surgery on itself!
The work load of all the therapies was taxing to the point that Chris decided to have the recommended surgery to remove the tumor. The biopsy reported a “Stage 1A” mass, a nearly zero cancerous level. She recovered from the colon surgery, and has maintained the B-17 apricot kernel habit(me too !) since then, along with juicing and practicing our new respect for our dietary intake.
The WWC DVD acted in part as a turning point introduction to the natural approach to cancer treatment for Chris. We are so grateful for your literally life-saving efforts in bringing the truth to all willing to hear it.
