That Proof of God Thingy is the third sci-fi adventure novel in the Dr. Kenneth Messenger parallel universe series. Did God create man or did man create God? And, if it is scientifically proven that God does not exist, could this alter basic human behavior for the better or for the worse? Howes has interwoven religions conflicts, multi-culturism, creation, holy wars, intelligent design and mathematical proof of the non-existence of God . The reader is taken on a journey visiting today's top religious scholars and into the realm of pure speculation and scientific efforts questioning the verification of the existence of God. It also deals with the age old battle between varying religions and cultures. It ventures into folklore about meteors, comets and signs from God and the Dead Sea Scrolls looking for clues and an answer to "The Believer's Question." It considers the beliefs of the major world religions, i.e., Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism etc., and even Scientology. It delves deep and promises to give the reader the definitive answer to The Believer's Question, "Can it be scientifically proven that God exists?." What is the answer?

Alzheimer's Disease: Forget Antioxidants & Supplements is a book presenting the scientific facts regarding the failure of these agents to prevent or reverse this disease. As our life spans increase, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is fast becoming a terrifying scourge for mankind, as it robs its victims of their memories and families of their finances. There are about 28 drugs in development for treating Alzheimer's but there are no promises of a pending success at hand. Painfully, I watched my dear mother succumb to this dreaded disease and hope that my in depth research into oxygen metabolism will offer opportunity for future research breakthroughs. Supplement manufacturers frequently mislead consumers with high-pressure advertisements, designed to create a feeling of guilt when family members do not resort to the use of one of their so called "memory miracle" pills. Overall, antioxidants and supplements have been disappointments and failures. Even though none of the current AD drugs have proved effective over the long haul, they are prescribed to 25% of those diagnosed with AD. The cost of care for AD patients is predicted to "break the Medicare bank." Vaccines have also been failures. To be perfectly candid, we do know what causes AD and do not know how to prevent or treat it. That is the truth but research still offers hope. We must fight to have increased funding for Alzheimer's research. In the interim, we must require and demand respectful and qualified care for all Alzheimer's patients. About 5.3 million (figures vary) Americans currently have AD and a new case is diagnosed every 70 seconds. The word "victim" seems overused in today's media but it is truly appropriate for those suffering from the tragedy called Alzheimer's disease (AD). We can and we must do better. Read my book for clues to the future of AD.

Tulane Voodoo is the seventh novel in the series. The Sci-Fi Adventures of Dr. Kenneth Messenger: The Parallel Universe Series New Orleans is saturated with Creole folklore and Cajun legends, many of which are steeped with voodoo, hexes and spells. Rumors are that a Tulane pathologist is schooled in Haitian voodoo. Dr. Kenneth Messenger opens a Bourbon Street night club in the French Quarter called Voodoo Mood. He is seduced into the dark realm of voodoo by a beautiful nineteen year old Creole, named Honey Suckle Ducree. She has wolf blue eyes that mesmerized Messenger and drew him deep into the inferno. Anne Rice s old home on Napoleon Avenue is the scene for some of the danger fi lled adventures and it serves as the site of the murder of Buster Stubble, a whore monger who also owns the Voodoo Token Shop. It appears that an enormously powerful animal is committing serial killings in the areas surrounding Jackson Square and the St. Louis Cathedral. Can Dr. Messenger avoid being a victim of voodoo, like his Cathedral friend, Father McGinnis? What is the truth concerning the undercover FBI agent, who works as a Lucky Dog vendor on Bourbon Street? Is there a shapeshifter lurking about, who is disguised as a half-hyena, half-human entity? What is the end result of Messenger s undying love for Honey Suckle and Tulane Voodoo? The ending is guaranteed to blow you away. Get ready with the gris-gris

LSU Spirit, in the Mounds is the ninth novel in the series. The Sci-Fi Adventures of Dr. Kenneth Messenger: The Parallel Universe Series LSU Spirit, in the Mounds is a humorous romp with Dr. Messenger, from the LSU campus to the Angola State Penitentiary and over to the Stennis Space Center. Messenger is fascinated by the eerie events centered around Native American Indian mounds. Early European explorers never observed the Indians actually constructing the 6,000 year old mounds and there was a plethora of rumors about them, which focused on alien visitors and ghostly apparitions. Messenger's girl friend, Coma, learned of the deep meaning of the twin eagle feathers and she struggled to fathom Ken's Indian mound obsession. In Ken's adventure, he befriends an old LSU Anthropology Professor, who has an uncanny relationship with an ancient Choctaw tribal elder. Messenger is puzzled by the meaning of predestination, orbs, life eternal and....love. Will a neutron blaster be capable of destroying the 'eggs of doom' that are about to hatch inside the mounds? Can he avert the Apocalypse of the Mounds? What does immortality have to do with any of it? LSU Spirit, in the Mounds is a non-stop turn of events, interspersed with strange characters and their antics. Again, be prepared for a shocker of an ending

The Sci-Fi Adventures of Dr. Kenneth Messenger: The Parallel Universe Series Catching Cancer is an adventure of epic proportions, in which the entire human race is susceptible to an unexplained and unanticipated raging cancer pandemic. Catching Cancer follows the adventure filled activities of a medical doctor, who is also a scientist and a surgeon, facing a new world threat of contagion. Dr. Messenger has to use all of his diagnostic prowess to determine its cause and he has to push his scientific intellect to formulate a cure....if a cure is possible. His quest for a cancer cure leads him into the uncertain arena of experimental medicine....a precarious world of unknowns, with unknown outcomes. There is a complicated web of contagion, which involves bacteria, viruses and genetic transmission of cancer. Vectors of cancer transmission could be anything from an infected animal with a mutated genome to a contaminated shooting star. World health surveillance officers have identified multiple global epicenters of the cancer contagion and officials aggressively aid in the fight against the pandemic. Ken has no choice but to risk an exceptional experimental cure by increasing the cancer victims' oxidative capacity, attempting to kill the cancer and any mutated viruses, while protecting the patient's delicate normal cells. His work brings both personal tragedy and worldwide acclaim inside the walls of his clinic. But, the death of his youngest daughter brings a wave of despair crashing down upon him, leaving a broken doctor in its wake. Even so, his challenges are not over. The story line revolves around two local men and one of Ken's old lovers, all of whom have caught cancer. Dr. Messenger works desperately to save them and to save the world. This novel also handles adult dialogue and adult situations. The author, Dr. Howes, delivers a profound, heartfelt and shocking ending.... the likes of which, I promise, you have not experienced before.

Recommended use of antioxidant vitamins to treat varied medical maladies is based on the invalidated free radical theory. The continued non-acceptance of the null findings of over 500 clinical trials on vitamin and antioxidant supplements has no scientific basis or biochemical plausibility. The underlying principles of the free radical theory have been proven to have repeated unreliability. It fails to meet the requirements of the scientific method and lacks reproducibility. Yet, the multi-billion dollar antioxidant supplement industry continues to thrive and trumpet false claims for their potentially harmful products. No doubt, excessive intake of antioxidant vitamins results in increased risk of heart disease, cancer, strokes and overall mortality. A working knowledge of redox chemistry is essential to understanding the hundreds of failed trials testing the efficacy of antioxidant supplements and antioxidant vitamins. Normal redox homeostasis may be pathologically disturbed by overzealous use of antioxidants. My UTOPIA and ROS insufficiency theories present a new perspective more correctly informed by the most contemporaneous experimental findings and by the most reliable clinical trials and studies. In short, electronically modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs) are essential for human existence and protection. An EMOD insufficiency "allows" for the development of a multitude of disease entities, including infections, non-healing wounds, infertility, tumor development, arteriosclerotic blockages, and cancer growth and metastasis. There never has been a "war" between EMODs and antioxidants.

The Sci-Fi Adventures of Dr. Kenneth Messenger: The Parallel Universe Series Pangaea 6 follows the trying travails of a medical doctor, who is also a scientist and a surgeon. His quest for survival leads him into the precarious sphere of a threatening new world....a world of unknowns....the world of Pangaea 6. Pangaea 6 takes Dr. Messenger on a trek of deep inquiry and dangerous discovery. Dr. Messenger faces his worst nightmare, i.e., the loss of his intellect. He is ordered by the Confederation to ascertain the surviving species of marine and land animals following the continental re-coalescence, which formed Pangaea 6. He tries to make sense of a bold new world and the continued conflicts amongst men. He is forced to study the Gaia theory, while attempting to apply it to his new surroundings, including the issue of planet Earth acting as a soulless, singular organism. Messenger is fascinated with the importance of electromagnetic fields and their roles in establishing meaning for the living planet and their relationship to the loving human mind. He has to face the harsh realities of electroshock, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and electromagnetic destruction of memory and meaning. His studies expose him to crop circles, chaos and Greek mythology. As always, Dr. Howes, provides a totally unanticipated ending which is, indeed, shocking and revealing Hold onto your seat.

The author, Dr. Howes, has interwoven accepted genetic engineering, gene therapy, viral carriers and plant life to demonstrate the fact that lines of demarcation between medical fact and science fiction can become a blend, making it difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between the two. The reader is taken on a journey through today's top research institutions and into the realm of gene therapy, auras and trying to determine the limits of genetic engineering. It raises questions concerning the advisability of combining the human and viral genome. It also deals with the age old battle between ethics and morality. Slightly Green is triple threat, as it is intellectually challenging, sexy and funny. A particularly telling quote is as follows: "Whoa, Flora Gene. You mean he can actually change the destiny of the cells....change their character. Now, I see why we must be so hush-hush about this work. If it got into the wrong hands, it could be disastrous, right?" The "Flora" was indicative of the plant kingdom and "Gene" referred to the genome. I had known for decades where my work was going to lead. I knew it would lead to a viral-plant-human hybrid of some sort. But, I didn't know when it would happen or how it would happen."

A recent study showed over 60% of athletes use common antioxidant vitamin supplements, of which 97.5% used vitamin C, 78.3% used vitamin E and 52.2% used multivitamins. This is even higher than the average population and is done because athletes, coaches, trainers, sports doctors and dieticians have been misled to believe that excessive antioxidants will give the athlete an edge over their competitors or make them perform better than those not taking antioxidant supplements. But, this outdated notion needs careful scientific evaluation. Dr. Howes' extensive previous work has reported on over 400 studies, including almost 16 million human participants, which showed the ineffectiveness of the antioxidants. And over 110 of these studies showed the harmful potential of the injudicious use of excessive antioxidants. Studies are now surfacing which show that antioxidants can have negative effects on performance and on recovery following bouts of exercise. Also, they are showing significant serious harmful effects on overall health. Once you know the scientific facts, then you can make up your mind as to the wisdom of taking injudicious amounts of antioxidants. The outdated notion of casually taking unnecessary and potentially dangerous antioxidant supplements needs to be scientifically analyzed and challenged. Dr. Howes does specifically that. In the past, the harmful effects of the antioxidants have been under-reported, denied, ignored or swept under the rug of ignorance. We must objectively look at the scientific data and make logical and safe decisions accordingly. So, read the facts and then decide on crucial performance and safety issues. Do not be misled by strong marketing forces. Be safe and healthy, not sorry.

Dr. Howes presents over 500 scientific reports showing the ineffectiveness of common antioxidants and of these, over 170 studies show harmful effects. This should not be surprising, since our very survival depends on imperative oxidative biochemical pathways. Dr. Howes discusses seven crucial oxidative pathways, including pathogen protection, cancer protection, wound healing, energy production, detoxification, immunity and cellular signaling, which can be blocked or interfered with by "antioxidant stacking or overkill." Thus, it is a no-brainer that antioxidant overload can cause inadvertent harmful maladies and also cause increased risk of death (overall mortality). Antioxidants can act as "dirty bombs" and non-specifically interfere with essential oxidative processes. Preservatives increase antioxidant exposure and this is rapidly contaminating our environment, due to the desire to prevent spoilage (rancidity, discoloration, foul odors, etc.) of common foods and preserve feed supplies of animals, such as cattle, pigs and fish. Antioxidant food fortification is commonplace and genetic modification to augment antioxidant content of foods is on the rise. This book is the world's largest selective collection of antioxidant reports and the cited studies include over 16 million human participants. Thirty two major medical/scientific organizations do not recommend the use of antioxidant supplements but suggest getting them for fresh fruits and vegetables. Dr. Howes has discovered that antioxidants can shield or protect 27 different cancer cell types in the laboratory and 9 murine (rodent) cancer cell types from being killed. Yet, millions of cancer survivors are encouraged to take potentially dangerous doses of antioxidant supplements on a daily basis. Please educate yourself to the inherent dangers of antioxidant overkill. Be smart. Be safe. Dr. Howes presents the downside of antioxidant overloading and exposes the mythology behind aggressive advertising campaigns pushing antioxidant overuse. Dr. Howes convincingly presents overwhelming data which clearly invalidates and nullifies the free radical theory and points out its failure to meet the requirements of the scientific method. The erroneous free radical theory lacks predictability and reproducibility. All antioxidant studies have been based on the flawed free radical theory. Hence, hundreds of studies have failed to show effectiveness or safety of antioxidant use in humans. It is time to move past the debunked free radical theory and to appreciate the many benefits of electronically modified oxygen derivatives (EMODs, previously called reactive oxygen species, ROS). EMODs are essential to normal homeostasis and human survival. Without them we would rapidly succumb, just as we would summarily die without a constant supply of ground state di-radical oxygen. We are, indeed, obligate aerobes. Please do not overlook this most essential fact.

Antioxidants have been touted as being so-called "anti-aging" agents and many aggressive sales campaigns have been based on this false premise. However, clear scientific evidence that antioxidants can inhibit or delay aging is lacking. Nutritional and genetic interventions to boost antioxidants have failed to increase the life span of man. Correlations between antioxidant levels and rate of aging are inconsistent and non-supportive. Questions remain as to any role for antioxidants in delaying the aging process. Actually, the theory upon which the antioxidants were studied was the free radical theory of aging and/or the mitochondrial theory of aging, both of which have been invalidated due to a lack of reproducibility in scientific studies. Even worse, there is growing evidence that excessive antioxidant overloading can cause significant harm. Rest assured, the quest for healthy aging has been fraught with outlandish scams and money-making schemes. In fact, antioxidants have been shown to increase the risk of age-associated diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, strokes and overall mortality. Moreover, the free radical theory fails to explain the well recognized, healthful benefits of exercise. Still, sales of anti-aging agents continue to sky rocket. People want a quick fix to aging or a "youth miracle pill" but such conjured-up remedies do not exist. In short, there is no antioxidant "fountain of youth." Moreover, antioxidant overkill likely interferes with crucial prooxidant protection against pathogens (infections) and cancer development. Additionally, antioxidant stacking can lead to chronic fatigue and tiredness. Avoid being duped by clever advertisers. Keep your money. Protect your health. Be safe and age gracefully and happily.

Dr. Howes recommends that patients should be counseled against using antioxidant supplements to prevent or treat cancer. Dr. Howes presents 118 human studies showing antioxidant ineffectiveness in cancer treatment and of this, 39 studies show harmful effects. Dr. Howes presents 27 specific human cancer cell types which are shielded by antioxidants in lab studies and 9 similar murine (rodent) studies. There are over 11 million human participants in these studies, covering over 3 decades. Over 26 studies show that the antioxidants increase the risk of cancer development and 2 studies show that the overall mortality of cancer patients taking antioxidants is increased.

Heart Disease and Antioxidant Failures is a compilation of over 100 antioxidant studies which have failed to prevent, reverse or cure heart diseases, such as atherosclerosis, plaque formation and hypertension. Of these studies, 30 study reports showed antioxidants having harmful heart adverse effects. People are taking potentially dangerous antioxidants unnecessarily and are wasting their money. Deceptive antioxidant marketing practices concerning so-called "heart-healthy antioxidants" have been exposed by Dr. Howes. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in America and around the globe. Oxygen free radicals have been implicated as being causative of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and of hypertension. The heart nornmally has an enormous need for oxygen, which is itself a di-radical. Consequently, investigators have attempted to prevent, reverse or cure heart diseases by the use of antioxidant supplements. Surprisingly, rigorous scientific testing has shown that antioxidants have failed to do so. More shocking is the fact that over 30 study reports have shown that they can cause adverse or harmful cardiovascular effects. Again, it appears that clever marketing has achieved its goal of increasing profits for ineffective and potentially dangerous antioxidant supplements. Help stop the fraud. Be informed with the scientific truth. Listen to an expert. Heed Dr. Howes' words of wisdom. Do not endanger your heart health needlessly as a response to false advertising. Be safe Be smart

The most important and the largest sex organ is located between the ears....and is commonly referred to as "the brain." Libido is a function of testosterone and erection is a function of free radicals. The very spark of life is fed by oxygen If you put out your free radical, oxidative fire, you extinguish your life If you douse your inner life-force spark, you smother your elan vital (life force). You can not live without your inner oxidative flame. Antioxidants pose a threat to the oxidative fire within. Oxygen and its electronically modified oxygen derivative (EMOD) progeny are the sine qua non (the essential condition) of man's very existence. This is an inarguable fact. Contrary to the common mantra of many authors, oxygen free radicals perform many crucial beneficial roles in sexual function and reproduction. Also contrary to popular claims, antioxidants are not the cure-all for sexual and reproductive problems. I have often said, "Man is the craziest critter on the planet." To back this up, I had suggested that all one had to do was to turn on the evening news or grab a newspaper. However, if you really want to see how crazy man is, just come with me through the history of aphrodisiacs and sexual prowess. So, let's undergo a reality check and scope out the history of these agents that claim to put more "zang in your wang," "zing in your thing" or greater "zippedy in your doo-da "

The Sci-Fi Adventures of Dr. Kenneth Messenger: The Parallel Universe Series. This is the eighth novel in the series. The Saints' Curse and Ghosts on the Levee wrestles with the unknowns surrounding past lives, age regression and reincarnation. Dr. Messenger is curiously and compulsively driven to live in the old haunted Du Chat Plantation mansion on the levee of the Mighty Mississippi River. While exploring under the house, he is bitten by a wind scorpion, which causes a near-death anaphylactic reaction. Dr. Messenger is challenged beyond his wildest dreams and unwisely befriends Reverend Adolph Bigerdik, a priest in the Church of Satan. Ken learns of the old curse on his beloved Saints football team. The construction of the New Orleans Superdome had desecrated the Girod Street Cemetery grounds and released evil spiritual forces. Unbelievably, some bodies remain under the dome today. Can voodoo remove the Saints' curse forever? Can Ken fight the cruel and evil doings of slave owner, Franscoise Du Chat? Will an experimental age regression pill lead to disaster? Did Ken really have a dalliance inside a burial vault with a student of the paranormal? Are our lives controlled by our karma? Ghosts roam the levee and the Superdome and will haunt your dreams. Hang on for a hellacious and thrilling ride.

Dr. Messenger is part of a top-notch scientific team attempting to create the world's largest manmade element, which required harnessing the power of lightning from Hurricane Grace. Ultiminium turned out to have a huge number of unpaired outer orbital electrons, which qualified it as the largest ever free radical. Ultiminium is surrounded with unpredictable chemical properties and strange reactivities. Could it be the answer to a whole new way to treat infections or cancer or could it be the long sought after fountain of youth? When man plays God, as the Creator, does he face discovery or disaster? Ultiminium is not a naturally occurring element so, what does it hold for the fate of mankind....peril or pleasure? Has man designed the ultimate breakthrough or has man gone too far? Dr. Messenger takes us on a dangerous and exciting excursion through the edgy experimental laboratories of scientific exploration. As usual, the author, Dr. Howes, combines fundamental scientific principles with a pinch of sex and a dash of humor. Hang on for the ride and a wham-bam ending

Antioxidants from supplements, food sources and the environment have a cumulative effect of dangerously lowering protective prooxidant levels, which "allows" for disease manifestation and coexistence of diseases. Today's marketing of antioxidants is all about sales and has nothing to do with science-based evidence. Scientific data has shown for years that the antioxidant vitamins can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and overall mortality. Yet, this information is ignored or denied by those "pushing" these potentially harmful products. None of the synthetic antioxidants work in the same manner as those contained in the biochemical matrix of fruits and vegetables of a nutritious diet. Today's antioxidants should be treated as medicines, not just because of their claims, but because of their proven adverse effects on the human body. I present over 250 scientific studies showing the negligible or non-existent effects of the antioxidants and of these, 80 studies highlight their wide ranging harmful effects. This is the largest collection of its kind in the world's medical literature. The hype of the antioxidants was based on the invalidated and outdated free radical theory, which lacks predictability and fails to meet the requirements of the scientific method. As was pointed out in an article entitled, Antioxidants not heaven sent, by Stefan Andrei Anghel in the Harvard Science Review, Spring 2010, "It may come as a surprise that the current scientific consensus is that there is no health benefit to taking antioxidant supplements. Even more unexpected news came this year when an article announced that antioxidants may actually prevent the health-promoting effects of physical exercise.... If the model proposed by the authors of the study is correct, then it may turn out that we have been systematically "poisoning" ourselves, increasing our disease risk and shortening our lifespan through antioxidant supplements." It was especially gratifying that Anghel cited one of my papers entitled, The Free Radical Fantasy, as the first reference in The Harvard Review and cited it two other times in the article. On January 2 5, 2011, Sharon Begley noted in Newsweek magazine in an article entitled, Antioxidants fall from grace, that, "Now the research is challenging an even more fundamental tenet of the antioxidant craze. Many of the free radicals that are neutralized by antioxidants perform valuable functions in the body. The most important: fighting toxins (white blood cells churn out free radicals by the battalion to fight bacterial infection) and fighting cancer. Maybe it's not such a fabulous idea to flood the body with something that neutralizes these warriors of the immune system." Antioxidant overuse can be dangerous with health problems, like cancer or infections. In 2009, 108 new food products with antioxidants touted on the label reached store shelves, aisles of them in the United States. Shockingly, medical personnel and cancer survivors take more antioxidants than those taken by the average person. The theory behind the use of antioxidants is plausible only if the free radical theory is sound. But, it has been nullified by hundreds of studies. The theory has been wrong and that is the reason that the antioxidant supplements available to us lack effectiveness and produce adverse effects. The free radical theory is passe With this explanation, the American Heart Association's advisory statement is sound. There is no good reason, at this point, to spend your money on antioxidant supplements. I have endeavored to find more advanced and improved replacement theories. People are waking up to the fact that they have been victims of clever marketing campaigns, all of which were based on the profit motive. Stop being a victim while the antioxidant craze is dying down. More and more, people are becoming aware of their ineffectiveness and of their harm. The choice is yours. Choose wi

In Antioxidant Failures and Dangers, Dr. Howes presents 316 study reports showing the ineffectiveness of common antioxidants, including vitamins A, C & E, resveratrol, lycopene (tomatoes), flavonoids (chocolate), omega-3 fish oil, ferulic acid, quercetin, pine tree extract, pomegranate juice, etc. Shockingly, 90 of these study reports reveal harmful (adverse) effects associated with the use of these antioxidants, ranging from increased risk of cancer to increased risk of heart disease and stroke. There are also over a dozen reports showing an increased overall mortality risk. Dr. Howes emphasizes the significance of inadvertently overloading with antioxidants and producing a dangerous prooxidant insufficiency state. Prooxidants are essential for protection against pathogens (infections) and cancer development. He further points out the increasing sales of antioxidant supplements due to misleading and powerful advertising campaigns. Even medical personnel and cancer survivors have been misinformed and they erroneously believe that the injudicious use of antioxidants is good for their overall health. The available scientific evidence shows that antioxidant overkill is a serious threat to one's well being and sets the stage for the development of a wide range of common diseases and the shortening of their life spans. These study reports included over 15 million human participants or subjects from countries throughout the world. These studies represent a solid basis for the consequent downfall of the free radical theory (FRT). The FRT lacks predictability and reproducibility and is invalidated and nullified because, after 50 years of testing, it does not meet the requirements of the scientific method. The free radical theory has fallen
