My Philosophy
Write to Karl Loren About This Page
 You
cannot understand this Site without understanding Karl Loren's
philosophy on health. In fact, it would be foolish to read ANYTHING
on health without understanding the philosophy of the Author. Here
is where you can find the core beliefs that shape the surface
concepts presented in various
Viewpoint articles.
Karl Loren has a separate web site
at http://www.karlloren.com
and I invite you to visit there. That site was started as the
International Academy Of Anabiology (the word means "the science of
returning a person from a state of near-death to a previous state of
health).
THIS page, on philosophy, is taken
directly from the Karl Loren site, and refers to the "Academy" and
to "Viewpoint" the published articles by Karl Loren. It should be
read as part of the philosophical statement of Karl Loren, but, of
course, it also relates to this Vibrant Life web site since Karl
Loren and Jean Ross, husband and wife, are the principals in this
site. Enjoy!
An amazing discovery in November
2002 has been that the very oral chelation formulas which are being
sold by Vibrant Life are not only an excellent way to improve blood
circulation, but it turns out that this formula is a very superior
method of preventing cancer.
The full story about cancer is HERE. There are several hundred
pages at this site, including a "new cancer science" that explains
the truth about cancer, the evils of the traditional treatments and
exactly why the oral chelation formula is such a good prevention for
cancer. The chelation therapy has proven to reduce death rates from
cancer by 90% compared to a similar group that did not get the
chelation. This is powerful news and worth your reading.
Since I first wrote these words,
now some seven years later, in 2004, I have expanded to 29 web sites
with more than 105,000 pages!!

This entire philosophy is that of
one man, Karl Loren, who ascribes to the International Academy Of
Anabiology these same philosophical concepts. As of now the Academy
IS Karl Loren. Others may well join the Academy, but only when they
can subscribe to this Philosophy.
This Philosophy is also meant to
be an invitation to dialogue with you, the reader. I invite you to
commend or criticize, question or quarrel; to offer your ideas for
consideration of inclusion; to suggest stuff that doesn't belong.
Just remember that on this page
Karl Loren is the guy who decides.
We, Karl Loren and the Academy,
believe that man is a spiritual being, occupying a body. We believe
that the spiritual being can heal the body, but that he has lost the
knowledge of how to do that.
We believe that it is the job of
religion to help man recover that knowledge and ability.
We believe that it is NOT the job
of the International Academy Of Anabiology to teach spiritual values
or spiritual healing technology. Karl Loren does not preach religion
on these pages, but he suggests that without religion, or a
spiritual philosophy, you will not achieve the heights of health
that are possible.
We believe that WITHIN the
to-be-discovered field of spiritual healing there will be a
tremendous alignment between spiritual truths and material truths,
that, for instance, prayer can help a thirsty man, but a glass of
water is quite acceptable as a practical and, at this stage,
preferable alternative.
Click Here
to read Karl's comments about scientific studies of "prayer."
This does not reduce God in any
way, but puts God and glasses of water on a spectrum, with one end
of that spectrum appropriate for some situations and the other end
of that spectrum appropriate for other situations.
Within this setting, the Academy
sets out to discover and publicize those material truths which might
align with the higher, spiritual concepts. An important part of
putting forth the truth is to also expose the lies. You'll find
much exposure of lies on this web site. And,
click here for some very fundamental truth about the source of
all disease and aging -- truths which are still resisted by the
orthodox medical establishment.
Most of those material truths will
be very sound science, much of that based on proven concepts within
biochemistry and nutrition. BUT, there is much false data floating
about, even in the fields of biochemistry. Fortunately, there is no
need to appeal to a spiritual source for proof of the legitimacy of
some material datum.
You'll find, in the pages of the
Academy, plenty of reference to scientific and reputable sources,
(literally many hundreds of scientific studies presented in
"abstract" form ===
click
here for some about cysteine) but you'll also find many exposes
of fraudulent and false information -- but always with a careful
reference to logical and reasonable supporting data which you can
either check out for yourself, or simply judge as being valid.
For instance, among some of the
"simple facts" which probably don't need much confirmation from
"scientific sources," would be the comment that man is on a downward
spiral of health. He has, today, worse health than he had yesterday.
This simple truth COULD also be supported by all sorts of references
to existing literature and statistics, but these pages will often
bring you statements of this type, counting on the authors
perception of your reality to be so accurate that you will find it
easy to accept that these "simple truths."
Many of these truths, and exposes,
are published in a special series called "Viewpoints."
Click Here to see a list of Viewpoints published so far.
Other data in these pages may be
quite new and strange to you -- as, for instance, the data about the
role of water in the body. When this is true, it is our Philosophy
that our materials should bridge the gap from your lack of data
about water in the body to what we present as the truth by way of
considerable reference to acceptable research and scientific
thought.
So, you should expect to find
reason and logic in these pages.
If these pages are beyond your
reality, then either we have failed, or you are not ready for this
version of the truth.
No philosophy of health, or
Anabiology, could possibly exist without addressing the question:
What Is Life?
You may be shocked at the
simplicity of a non-spiritual definition of life.
Life can be quantified down to
motion. If something is able to move, on its own determinism, then I
would judge it to be alive.
Thus a plant, growing in the soil,
moves, indeed, turning its head to the sun, and sending its roots to
the water.
It may be a tougher question to
ask about a seed -- is it alive. For the moment I'll suggest that it
is a "promise of life," not life itself. In much this same sense, a
virus is a "promise of life," even though often only a diseased
life. I have an entire article about the virus and life --
click here to read that.
We can go further and suggest that
the entire question of "quality of life" can even be objectified by
the concept of motion -- freedom of. This would be another subject,
and a worthy one, for another day.
Here, let me simply say that that
which is alive can move, self-determinedly, and the more
self-determined freedom of movement something has, the "more alive
it is."
We'll get, another day, to the
obvious further comment that as joints age they lose their freedom
of movement, and thus lose a bit of life. And, we can see also that
as a gland, or organ, is less able to move as it did during optimum
health, then there is a simple change in movement that reflects a
change in the quantity (and quality) of life.
Finally, there is such a thing as
aberrated life, which would be aberrated motion -- nothing more than
compulsive motion, apparently self-determined, but now, figuring in
some spiritual talents, motivated by errant thoughts, and thus
representing a form of life which is leading toward death and
disease rather than optimum health.
Very simply, we in the Academy
freely acknowledge the seniority of spiritual matters over material,
and more precisely, we recognize that spiritual factors are senior
to material factors in understanding, and eliminating, disease and
lack of health.
But, just as we freely acknowledge
the seniority of God, or spirituality, in the field of health,
Anabiology is restricted, quite deliberately, and firmly, to matters
only in the physical universe.
Thus, we recognize our Philosophy
as junior to a workable philosophy, or religion, of matters
spiritual. We leave THAT to you, and neither intrude upon that area
nor urge our religious beliefs on you. Notice, for instance, that
our definition of Life does not involve any religious or spiritual
aspect, although we acknowledge that life can only be understood as
originated from a non-material source -- spiritual.

personal religion by

(Remember that "Karl Loren" is the professional name for "Loren C.
Troescher."
The Academy is not interested in
tax-deductible donations, nor will it seek government support or
funds, because the Academy does not ever want to be in a position of
asking a government agency for permission to exist, or to function,
beyond the bare minimum of public registration.
The Academy simply announces that it
operates with no intention of earning "profits" which would accrue
to any individual, and that all of its income will generally be used
for expenses and other non-personal.
Vibrant Life is NOT
a not-for-profit organization.
However, it is also an important part
of the Philosophy of the Academy that it must earn money, exchange,
in return for the delivery into your hands of information which you
find useful and valuable.
In most such situations you would
find interspersed with information of the type we offer, a constant
barrage of ads and encouragements to buy X Brand of whatever.
We cannot function without exchange,
but our Philosophy is that people who value our contributions to
their lives will also recognize the need for them to exchange with
us, and for that purpose THEY will find sufficient references to
links to other pages where purchases of things can be made. Vibrant
Life's web page is that link.
We suspect that those who would use
this information without concern for exchange will not do well with
it, or in life.
So, we urge you to get the greatest
possible benefit from this information by exchanging with this
source in ways that will further benefit you. If this is too
puzzling, you may always write to Karl Loren for some direct links
to commercial opportunities to contribute.
The era of surgery and drugs is
drawing to a close, while the era of nutrition and biochemistry is
zooming to prominence. Karl wrote an article, as a Viewpoint,
called "Smokestack Medicine" which you can read by
clicking here.
Nutrition, particularly, is
currently rife with fads. The Academy will present relatively few
ideas in this area, but concentrate on basics.
For instance, most people don't
eat enough protein. That simple statement may not seem complicated
enough for those searching for magic bullets, but it is the lack of
penetration of these simple ideas into the society that is the
problem, not the absence of good data.
Let me say that another way.
There can be a thousand great, and
true, ideas floating around, but what is so often missing is the
evaluation of which is more important. We try to deal with relative
importance on these pages -- relative importance among many truths.
Thus, for instance, it may seem
overwhelmingly important to you to find out what type of water
filter is the best. My answer here would be that this is the wrong
question! The more important question is:
Is drinking enough water more
important than what type of water it is?
There is posted as one of the
Viewpoints, an article about the importance of drinking more water.
Currently the faddists spend their time trying to figure out which
type of water filter is best. That is the wrong question. The better
question to ask is, why can't we get more people to drink more
water? Of course the answer to that involves the fact that
there is no commercial motivation in getting people to drink more
water, and thus few if any messages of that type. THIS is the
problem. Our nutrition is currently 99% driven by commercial
interests -- which may or often may not coincide with sensible
health. There is no commercial value to anyone to encourage you to
drink more water. But, in these pages you will find that type of
encouragement.
Biochemistry is the scientific
technology of the future, but it suffers too. Perhaps it is not
faddism that it suffers from, but it certainly suffers from the lack
of a bridge to the public, and it also suffers from the problem all
science suffers from -- failure to acknowledge the role of
spirituality. When a scientist tries to explain all of life without
reference to spirituality, he is doomed to failure. But, the
preacher who becomes the "expert" in biochemistry, too, can easily
fail. What is needed are biochemists who look for and find the place
to draw the line -- the line between material and spiritual.
For instance, it will be proven
that mental and spiritual factors exercise tremendous influence over
the daily function of the endocrine system. While acknowledging
this, it is still possible to study the role and function of glands
and hormones. What makes a living cell so fascinating is its ability
to use a variety of raw materials to continue in its survival. The
Biochemist can and should find out what are the BEST nutrients for a
cell, or a cell function, but he should not be thrown off by the
fact that he finds some cells doing well, others doing poorly, when
offered these same nutrients. The spiritual factor can screw up all
sorts of scientifically material observations. This should not be a
problem as long as spirituality is acknowledged. Remember, we don't
think the Biochemist has any business preaching about God.
Finally, there are Four Roads To
Ruin in our current state of health as a society. These will be
featured in these pages of the Academy:
Mental Factors
As mentioned above, people have to
realize that mental and spiritual factors are more important than
what vitamins they take, and should accept the fact that we will
not, in these pages, offer any advice along this line. Get your own
religion, but get it! Don't think you can achieve health while
subsisting on a fare of foolish spiritual concepts.
Ignorance
Factors
Realize that the first and
foremost non-spiritual barrier to your health is your ignorance. Add
to that the ignorance of those who would advise you, and, yes, even
to cut on you. You are suffering because you take the word of the
doctor as an informed advisor. Wrong!
There is so much false information
floating around that you will find, in these pages, an emphasis on
exposing lies as more important than telling truths!
Don't get alarmed, yet! There is
no sense in worrying about smog and its deadly components while you
still believe that 60 mg of Vitamin C per day is plenty. Part of the
ignorance factor is that people have lots of true data, but don't
have the priorities set right.
It isn't enough to know 100 true
things. You have, also, to know which of those is more important
than another.
Toxic Factors
There is no question that you, as
a body made of meat, have ingested into that body large quantities
of toxic substances.
In these pages you should learn
about what are toxins. Again, when you realize that Coca Cola is a
toxic substance, perhaps you'll quit worrying about eating red meat!
Again, the priorities must be set.
Whatever are the toxins affecting
you, you must learn about detoxification. That will be one of the
important subjects for these pages, and for your achieving health.
Finally,
Deficiency
Factors
There is no question that people
are not getting very important nutrients in their diets, and often
not even in their purchased supplements.
These pages of the Academy Site
will have lots to say about supplements because that is where the
attention of much of the public is. It may be more important for
John Public to drink more water than to take more Vitamin C, but the
message about Vitamin C will probably be more readily absorbed than
one about water.
A movement (such as the Academy)
cannot remain above the fray, but must mix with the current
attitudes and beliefs of the people. These pages hope to meet people
where they are at -- not preach to them about where they should be!
Man differs greatly in his level
of awareness.
Story: For many years I owned and
operated a janitorial cleaning business. I did lots of janitor work,
myself, and gradually got larger and more successful, so that I
hired many janitors. I would typically train people who were new to
this type of work -- train them by taking them out on a job. I would
work alongside.
For instance, I would tell the new
guy, "you clean the bathroom while I do the windows," or some such.
He would go into the bathroom, and in a while he'd come out. I'd
say, "Did you clean the bathroom?" and, of course, the answer was
"yes."
Well, you know, I'd go look. Often
I would find some obvious dirt -- a piece of dirt sitting there in
the middle of the floor.
I call him in, and say: "What's
that?" He'd look and then
usually say: "Oh, I didn't see that."
I used to figure that "see" was
being used in some
philosophical sense -- that, of course, it would be
impossible for him to NOT see this piece of dirt
which was so plain to me.
But, I came to realize that, in
fact, many people who want to be janitors fail in that work because
they physically don't see the dirt.
Later as I have done more
observing, I've realized that people in society have very different
levels of ability when it comes to "seeing," or "awareness." Some
are very good at being aware of food, but can't see animals at all.
Some can see girls, but not boys! Tremendously varied.
So, generally, you are more able
when you can see more. The "more," of course, must also be to see
what is actually there. That's another aspect of awareness. There
are people who say they see bugs on the wall. You don't see them.
They are seeing illusions. But, they are seeing them, nonetheless.
So, you can be aware of illusions or aware of reality.
So, we're getting there now. The
highest ability a person can have is the ability to see, accurately,
what is really there. A very great many people do not do that very
well!
Once you see what is really there,
you then have to add in the quality of honesty. Some people can see
what is there, but prefer to deny the existence of that reality. For
instance, politicians do that all the time when they talk publicly
about the Social Security System. It's hard to believe that they are
so blind that they cannot see its forthcoming bankruptcy, but they
sure don't talk like they have seen that reality!
So, once you have the ability to
see, correctly, what is really there, and the character to be honest
about any report or message you give on your awareness, you are
starting to see the type of abilities and character I bring to this
Web Site.
I have what I think is a very
highly developed awareness of what is really out there, in the
physical universe, particularly in the fields of h ealth
and wellness. Further, I have the personal integrity to report
honestly to you as to what I see.
You'll find, also, that I report
what I believe to be true even if that means someone threatens to
sue me, or actually does. I have many web pages among the 15,000
pages, where someone has directly threatened to sue, or sued. I am
not afraid of attacks.
Now, if I see illusions, or if I
lie to you about what I see, you should not listen to me.
But, if you find that my viewpoint
(you see, now, the source of my use of that word on my articles)
seems to match reality (which means it matches your view of things,
or that you are willing to look through my viewpoint at the world),
and if you find me to be honest in my writing, then you can have
some considerable confidence in what you find on this Web Site.
On the contrary, when I find
someone reporting as truth something which I feel is certainly not
truth, I have to conclude that either he is blind or dishonest.
Either way he is not a good source of advice on how to run my body.
So, there you have this little
part of my philosophy. A man should strive, always, to improve his
ability to be aware of the realities, and should adhere closely to a
code of honesty that is so obvious that you can feel it in his
words.
I invite you to comment back to me
as to YOUR impression of my level of awareness and my honesty!
This web site is a breath of fresh air in a world of pollution.
