Preface

Insatiable curiosity

Even as a child, I was never able to understand why people are obsessed
with money and power, yet find it so easy to forget about, or complete-
ly ignore, their own physical frailty. I have always been insatiably curious. I
believe that this keen, incessant desire to understand, along with an innate
tendency to reject the merely “trendy” in science or whatever, has been a
blessing. I have always been perplexed to see people of all ages dying of dis-
ease, both chronic and acute: what is the reason for this? Are we, even now,
foolish enough to accept such a mysterious state of affairs without complaint?
Is it true that disease, aging and even death are so closely linked to our genetic
makeup that we are doomed to die without even being able to guess why?
What if we start investigating the cause of aging? If we can avoid or postpone
aging, then how is death possible? Are we unable to explain the mechanism
of death?

I began to doubt the cause of death when I saw the dramatic consequences
of pineal gland grafting and cross-transplantation (99, 102, 106, see appendix
1). I came to understand that the pineal gland is responsible for aging and
that, as the gland itself ages, it inevitably leads us towards our own aging and
death. My experiments convinced me that the pineal gland clearly does not
need a neural connection in order to speed up or slow down aging, and that
“The Melatonin Miracle” had been completely misinterpreted! Melatonin,
when taken in the evening, helps the pineal gland to stay young. The key to
understanding death is the pineal gland itself!

Let’s forget about prejudice, religious beliefs, psychological stumbling
blocks, and all the other nonsense surrounding the subject of death. I have
come to the conclusion that our death is linked to the fact that life on earth
was created and shaped strictly in accordance with the circadian, cyclic, ro-
tational nature of our planet and its absolute dependence on its satellite, the
moon! If we combine everything we know about seasonal cycles, thermoreg-
ulation and lunar phases, we will see that our destiny (including death) de-
