Decker -------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the greatest mysteries known to man is when a living human body suddenly bursts into flames and rapidly burns to ashes. This phenomenon has been known throughout history, yet to date no one has discovered how and why it takes place. The victims of the SHC phenomenon have little in common though many have a history of alcohol abuse. Indeed, a 19th century theory concluded that people afflicted by SHC were drunkards who had somehow saturated their bodies with flammable spirits and accidentally set themselves on fire. Other ancient beliefs regarding the phenomenon attributed it to the victims merely being sinners who were being punished by divine powers. An anomaly associated with death by lightning is that the bodies of people killed by lightning have been observed to decompose at a very rapid rate. In the case of SHC, the decomposition process is much more rapid. Not only does the process occur in a matter of minutes, but the fire ONLY CONSUMES LIVING FLESH, leaving almost untouched the clothing and surroundings of the victim. One of the most thoroughly documented cases was that of Mrs. Mary Reeser, who was suddenly consumed on the night of July 1, 1951. The following morning, Mrs. Reeser's landlady took a telegram to her apartment. The doorknob was found to be too hot to touch, which caused the landlady to call for help from two painters working in the area. The door was opened and a hot blast of air rushed from the room. What was left of the 67 year old lady was found in an armchair. Around the chair, a blackened circle on the floor, a few coiled springs, a charred liver, a fragment of backbone, a skull SHRUNK TO THE SIZE OF A FIST, and just on the edge of the scorched patch, a black satin slipper, enclosing a left foot BURNT OFF AT THE ANKLE. Note particularly the shrinking of the skull, which could only happen in the presence of an extremely hot flame. Not a flame which Page 1 would be encountered with normally combustible substances. At the inquest, it was disclosed that crematoria normally use a temperature of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, sustained for UP TO FOUR HOURS, to incinerate a body. Even then, they must resort to grinders to disintegrate the remains to the state in which Mrs. Reeser's body was found. Most interesting of all was why the wall behind the chair was not scorched, or why a pile of newspapers less than a foot away were not burnt. An FBI statement concerning the incident concluded that Mrs. Reeser had taken her usual sleeping pills and fallen asleep in the chair while smoking. Experts testified that even if her clothes had caught fire, the burns would be only SUPERFICIAL. Foremost pathologist Dr. Wilton Krogman investigated the case and stated that it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Dr. Krogman said that a human skull shrunk by intense heat, generated by normal means, usually has the opposite effect, i.e. to swell. Another case was that of the Countess Bandi of Casena. Four feet from her bed, in a heap of ashes, only her head, three fingers and both legs were found. This occurred sometime before June 1731. How can such things happen and what could be a probable causes? Cade and Davis, in their book "Taming of the Thunderbolts", suspect that ATOMIC FIRE, similar to those of plasma physics, may be involved. In our study of the suppressive effects of Deuterium in living tissues, there is much to support this, particularly when considering that all living tissues utilize a form of atomic fission. Accounts from ancient Indian texts state that people lived from 2,000 to 10,000 years in the time of the Vedas. When the great wars of ancient India came about, atomic weapons were undoubtedly used. Later records from Biblical accounts give the human lifespan as up to 1000 years. After Sodom and Gomorrah, life suddenly went from 100 to 500 max. This indicates a buildup of something in the atmosphere or soil which has continued to degenerate the lifespan of all creatures, especially man. Another most interesting observation regarding SHC cases is that the victims appear to have been in SOME KIND OF TRANCE. An account by Dr. Bertholle in the investigations of a woman found burned to death, reported that the room was almost unscorched. It was as if the body had been in an intense furnace, yet only the floor under the body had been scorched. Page 2 Why hadn't the woman screamed out to others of the household? Another bizarre case were the charred bodies of 5 men found sitting in casual positions in a car on a backroad near Pikeville, Kentucky. The condition of the car is not described, although the coroner was baffled at the absence of ANY SIGN OF A STRUGGLE TO ESCAPE. The term "ultra-rapid holocaust" has been applied by Eric Frank Russell, since much of the circumstantial evidence points to a quick and intense combustion. On the 12th of May, 1890, a Dr. B.H. Hartwell was driving through Ayer, Massachusetts. He was flagged down and called into a wooded area. In a clearing he saw the crouched form of a woman with FLAMES BLAZING FROM HER SHOULDERS, ABDOMEN AND LEGS. -------------------------------------------------------------------- At the time of this writing (July 30, 1990), a young Chinese boy has been found in mainland China who bursts into flames from his armpits and other areas of his body, as reported in a Chicago paper. People who try to help him also catch on fire, so the lad is kept isolated while scientists and doctors try to find the reason for the phenomenon. If our thinking regarding the suppression of natural atomic fission processes by the natural presence of Carbon as well as the continuing consumption of Deuterium in the form of heavy water (D2O) mixed with H2O is correct, then perhaps the boy is in a super- critical state with little to suppress the fission process. It is possible that combinations of foods, environment, mental and physical stresses, as well as electromagnetic or other energetic disturbances might be contributing factors if not the primary reason for the SHC phenomenon. The current theory regarding SHC is that its' victims are inebriates, although some neither smoked nor drank. We of Vangard Sciences, in conjunction with some of our Research Associates are studying the problem from the above atomic fission approach and will report on what we find through our newsletter and the KeelyNet BBS. Current experiments which we are undertaking involve the use of a mirror image of the Deuterium frequency (Bivalent state) into a homeopathic reagent. The idea is that at varying potencies, water structured in this manner will act to convert the Deuterium to it's next lower atomic state of Hydrogen. We also have a contact who thinks he might be able to make a substance which could selectively attract and bind Deuterium found in the body for expulsion. Page 3 This approach is more attractive due to the removal of Deuterium, instead of conversion, since conversion entails the release of a "radical" neutron. Of course, such a release indiscrimately applied could cause strange problems including DNA/RNA damage. For that reason, the binding and subsequent removal is much to be preferred. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
