Sen. Joseph Biden U.S. Senate Washington DC 20515

Dear Senator Biden,

I watched the special 20-20 program aired September 17, 1991, on ABC, on battered women and the show mentioned that you are working on a federal law to make rape a federal crime, which it should be, because it is a violation of her supposedly Constitutionally protected personal space, her mental stability, her privacy, her sexual attitudes, and her body; it may also subject her to pregnancy and venereal disease or AIDS, so it is a violation of her physical health.

The bill will also provide money for training and education to prevent violence against women, especially to retrain the husbands and boyfriends who physically and verbally abuse their wives or girlfriends.

If we are going to set ourselves up as the example for the rest of the world, we are going to have to work harder at our own "restructuring"---survival thru redefinition, into a higher level of consciousness.

The problem within these men who are abusive to their women is multi- dimensional. Only part of it is because they saw their own fathers treat their mothers this way, and were probably brain-injured themselves by the same abusive fathers. The causes that we can put our finger on and TREAT as a physical condition are neurotransmitter and other nutrient depletion from stress, and possibly get some of them medical care for their untreated head injuries. Alcohol and drug abuse can also cause brain damage and affect the brainwave coordination that determines the consciousness level.

I found a better way for people to relax, better than using alcohol. It is garlic, taken as an antiseptic, and for lowering cholesterol.

I would need more medical information on the mental states of rapists, if caught near the time of the crime, before I could provide specific help on the sexual urge part of the violence problem in rape. I believe that some of them have a seizure in the limbic part of the brain---I haven't rechecked this---and perhaps Dilantin would help them.

I am married to a formerly abusive husband, and I forgave him after he had a stroke at 53, and thru taking care of him and managing his medi- cations for 12 years, I have reached some conclusions as to possible medical causes for the behavior of these men that are abusive to their wives or girlfriends.

In my husband's case, he had war injuries from mortar shells that have left him with temporal lobe epilepsy; this causes temper tantrums. He also apparently has spasms in his brain arteries. Before he was prescribed the drug Procardia for coronary artery spasm, he had a problem with mental negativity.

After he went onto Procardia, the 10mg t.i.d. dose, his mental negativity disappeared. One of my theories is that some people have artery wall spasm inside their brains. The mineral magnesium is also supposed to fix this problem. The garlic helps him relax too. I mix orange juice with fresh garlic cloves as hot as you can stand to drink it, then add more juice or water. It is a blood thinner, so I think it gets nourishment to parts of the brain that were insufficient without it. It lowers the cholesterol, which makes the platelets less sticky, and it lowers triglycerides.

Sometimes, before we started on the evening garlic cocktail before dinner, he used to get very anxiety-prone, and tyrannical, and would "order" me to go put the car inside the carport gate, for fear that someone would steal it. Now, he forgets all about that. Maybe anxiety can be affected by platelet dis-aggregation.

I think we should pay more attention to blood pH, and blood sludging. Our proteins will not work properly if the acid-base balance is not correct, due to denaturation, which means they get unfolded and the atoms are at the wrong geometric angles. This is also affected by low body temperature, which means depletion of Tyrosine.

If our body is insufficient in oxygen and vitamins that are vital in ATP- energy production, and we are in a fatigued state, our protein biosynthesis is turned OFF.

If our protein biosynthesis is OFF, our cholesterol level goes up, because the adrenals take cholesterol to make hormones out of. When protein biosyn- thesis is OFF, the adrenals can't make hormones.

The violence must occur when the cerebral cortex does not get enough blood- flow, and the waste products build up, and the ability to reason is turned off.

Many of our formerly common child face-slapping practices can cause damage to brain circulation, or to the neck. Just living in a dys-functional family might even affect brainwave coordination as a child develops. A child raised under a tyrant may never learn to think for himself, which implies that he inadequately learns to use his cerebral cortex for reasoning, which is expressed in his poor brainwave coordination.

The major cause of male-against-female violence is

STRESS ==> NEUROTRANSMITTER DEPLETION ==> AGITATED (ANGRY) DEPRESSION

[ Especially the inhibitory neurotransmitters ]

Stated another way, the cerebral cortex loses control to older, more emotional parts of the brain, when the cortex doesn't get proper bloodflow or nutrition. When this happens, the consciousness level is "dominance and submission", like wild dogs in a pack have to obey a dominant male leader. Some call this the "lizard brain" level of consciousness.

I have some proposals for a wholistic style trial-and-error self-help nutritional program for men who have trouble with their tempers or use "dominance-and-submission" and FEAR, FORCE, and COERCION to rule their families. Surprisingly, garlic helps relax the nervous system, perhaps due to the blood-thinning effects. This can be made as an orange juice drink with fresh garlic in a blender. This can replace the nightly alcohol dose that many use to relax. It fights infection and lowers the bad type of cholesterol. It also eases the tension that builds up in dys-functional families.

The amino acid, L-Taurine, is also good to calm down the nervous system, and it gets depleted in stress, or from drinking alcohol. Taurine helps to normalize the amino acid balance in the brain, when biosynthesis is ON.

It collects in the pineal and pituitary gland, under direct sunlight.

We need more research on Taurine. It should be as commonly used as aspirin or vitamin C.

If you will have money available to spend on training and education, I will author a workbook and computer software for PC compatibles and MS-DOS, one for the men, one for the women who are victimized, and one for the social worker or jailer. I will provide the physiological information, the nutritional information, and a procedure to try first one thing and then another, to find out which nutrients the person has become depleted of.

If they take a nutrient and it makes them feel better, this will help them to be more open to retraining of their abuse habits.

The nutrients that help them will tell us what they were depleted of. This process will educate them, so that they can use nutritional supplements and food to replenish themselves and cure their problems, instead of getting them addicted to prescription drugs that only increase the profits for a pharmaceutical company, and increase health care costs.

I have a B.S. degree in Chemistry, from Lamar University 1968, then I followed a vocation and avocation in computer software, plus self-study of nutrition since 1968.

In recent months, I have more intensely studied nutrition and made a file and a set of computer programs of these nutritional facts as a way of study- ing them, to try to cure myself of a rather nasty infection in my sinus, from an abcessed tooth in 1982, that became chronic maxillary sinusitis, and then in May 1991, progressed into infectious spinal arthritis.

This is an area where people fall thru the cracks of our health care system.

Our "modern medicine" does not effectively help us get rid of mycoplasmas, or "L-forms", the residue of bacteria left over after incomplete destruc- tion by antibiotics. These mycoplasma like to live in our joints. This failure to address this problem is at the root of many so-called "mystery" diseases, or "auto-immune" diseases, because the lab just can't "see" it, and is probably a reason that stress makes us sick. These mycoplasmas are like latent virus infections, waiting to attack us when we get stressed out and our immune systems get depleted.

The link here ---how, in my case, it went from the sinus to the spine---is that, ever since the tooth abcess in 1982, my lymph glands on the lower back part of my head and neck had been infected, as well as the sinus. The top joint is the atlas-to-occipital-condyle joint and I had an old whiplash injury to this joint area, that probably complicated the circulation thru the area. This joint became very sore, for several years.

Anyway, infectious arthritis is an area of medical care that medical doctors are especially incompetent in treating. They just want to sell the expensive treatments that don't work, because they don't affect the mycoplasmas, and they damage our kidneys and our livers, and the doctors are bolstered in ignoring the real infectious causes, because the lab technician cannot see the causes of arthritis under the microscope, using normal bacterial type tests, so he thinks there is no infection.

The residue of bacteria after incomplete destruction by antibiotics are called mycoplasma. Just try to talk about this to a doctor, and you are persona non grata, like they don't want to treat an intelligent patient who can read and research their own medical problems at the library.

I am a National Merit Finalist from 1962-1963, who ranked in the 99-1/2 percentile on nationally-standardized tests. I have put in health questions for research at my library for years, then studied the medical journal articles that they got copies of, for me.

I am particularly disillusioned about medical doctors and psychiatrists after trying to find out which germ I had, and attending a "fatigue" clinic, that was really an insurance fraud scam being operated by Psychiatric Institutes of America in Fairfield, California. They charge $1000 per day for valueless "talking therapy", to try to get you "hooked" on needing psycho-analysis, when they should be teaching you what nutrient you need to take.

I hope that you are not planning on spending any of the taxpayers' money on places like that, with in-patient "talking" therapy and further experimenta- tion for the benefit of the pharmaceutical companies.

I have some proposals for a wholistic style trial-and-error self-help nutritional program for men who have trouble with their tempers or use "dominance-and-submission" and FEAR, FORCE, and COERCION to rule their families.

If you will have money available to spend on training and education, I will author a workbook and computer software for PC compatibles and MS-DOS, one for the men, one for the women who are victimized, and one for the social worker or jailer. I will provide the physiological information, the nutritional information, and a procedure to try first one thing and then another, to find out which nutrients the person has become depleted of.

Psychiatrists and psychoanalysts are generally incompetent to understand male-against-female violence, and they are still trying to sell the old "Freudian" style psychotherapy, probably because the government officials and bureaucrats are still asking them to furnish it, instead of providing nutritional therapy, which would be more realistic, and more helpful.

The taxpayers have already paid for the nutritional research that produced the nutritional knowlege, and I think that they deserve to benefit from what they have already paid for. If you will help me, I will help them to obtain nutritional help for what ails them.

I don't have the standard nutritional education, with all its AMA brain- washing and I am free of all the things that limit the minds of the usual "qualified" people. Some of what I call "nutritional fact", I combed from other authors' books at the laymen's level. Some is from medical journal articles, or physiology college textbooks, and some learned from life's experiences. I am now 46.

I am proposing the set of programs as a rudimentary "artificial intelligence" language for studying nutrition. I call it "NutriZn\BodyEquations".

Every nutritional fact has to fit in one 80-character line, in its present format.

It collects every line in my nutritional data base, mentioning a certain word or phrase. I also have a questioning module, like the questions they ask you to answer when you go to a doctor's office the first time.

The book that I will write will contain nutritional facts that are in the programs' data files. I can develop a questionaire module to inquire about things that might be relevant for violence situations. One for an abuser, and one for the victim. The goal is to help them understand what nutrients can help them replenish themselves after becoming stressed out.

You cannot just drug them to suppress the symptoms, or lock them up, after they have caused real harm, in their temper tantrums.

My programs will help any social worker or health care worker, manage learning and studying nutritional truth, to be able to use it for helping people. They can edit the data base text files or the microfiles, or use the modules to organize prescription drugs or regular medical therapies. The last thing I did was to make the list of questions external to the program. A yes to a question causes the queueing of a microfile on that subject, for viewing on the screen, or for printing. Later on, I will add program modules to apply logical AND, OR, IOR, XOR, and IFs to the questionaire answers. Right now, they will get a whole list of reminders of nutrients to study up on.

I didn't quite have it ready for release, when I stopped working on it, to finalize my courthouse calendar system, that I had almost finished when the V.A. launched their attack on us, and got me all stressed out. I have gotten better and finally am getting back to it, after a six months' delay.

I develop software as a hobby. I tried starting a software business from it, but I don't have the health resources to do all of the jobs of a whole company, so I am instead planning to seek out companies who will do the marketing and mass production and provide the technical support, and take a smaller percentage of the price, like a royalty. This way, I can continue to develop more products and this expands my possibilities of doing more good.

I considered writing to George Mitchell when he was involved in proposing a health care program that would start dictating more to the doctors just what procedures that they should perform for a certain illness. My program modules could be used to embody a system of approved medical care procedures if the government wants to save money, on health care costs. Especially, many times the "accepted medical practice" completely ignores the nutritional aspect of a condition, and even hurts the patient, like using intravenous fluids too long will deplete the B-vitamins and C, and the minerals.

Once, my husband had started drowning in his own fluids, as the lungs began to fill with water, and all the doctors at the hospital really needed to do, was to give him extra diuretics to get him over it, which I myself did not know at the time, and they managed to run up a hospital bill of over $25,000.00, and were trying to sell him on more time in the hospital and major operations, when they already proved that they could not even manage his blood pressure. I caught them with it at 69/40, as shown on the monitor. I think there is a real problem with overdosing the elderly at the hospitals. They will lower their blood pressure too far and this is like a stroke. I had to start talking to the local television station that time, about him being held hostage, before they would agree to let him out of the hospital, because he had such good insurance coverage. When I got him home, he did not recognize our house, and he could not remember how to write his own name.

The nutritional data base files are independent of the program, and the same programs can be used to access regular medical doctor data, by simply changing the pathnames and titles of the data files. I can go over and over it, finding more and more things to make user-defineable.

If the Health Care Financing Administration or whoever knows the standard treatments charged and approved for each diagnosis, the average cost to treat a particular diagnosis for a person that age across the country, the codes for each treatment or test, already collected in a computer file(s),

I can adapt my program to fit their format. My program is most useful for "Phrase VERB Phrase" AI truths that can be stated on one line. It actually can contain more than 80 characters in one line, but I presently can only display 80 characters on a line, on the screen.

I will offer most favorable terms to any government bureaucracy that wants to purchase the software on a site license type arrangement, performing the copying and technical support internally, and paying me a royalty-type fee, for each copy. I am willing to be available to a limited number of your staff, as long as they need help, then they can provide the technical support for others. I am just one person. I cannot do all the technical support, until I can get a software company started, and hire myself some help. So, this is your chance to get a good deal. Source code is included.

I should accompany this letter with a working copy of the program, but it will have to be sent later, if you are interested.

Sincerely,
