Chapter 12 – Ley Lines, Earth Lines and Energy Wells
12.1 The first reflex whenever you hear cancer
The interest in ley lines originated around the 1930s in Europe,
mainly Germany and France, in some cities that were small enough
for their whole population to be treated by only one or two
medical practitioners. Some physicians were struck by the fact
that in certain houses, cancer cases arose with unusual frequency.
The family doctor would treat the grandmother for cancer. The
grandmother would die. Five years later, the doctor would see her
daughter come in with the very same cancer. In the meantime the
daughter would have taken over the grandmother's bed. Or a
woman would bring her husband in with cancer. The husband
would die. The woman would remarry and a few years later the
new husband, sleeping in the same bed and at the same place,
would get exactly the same cancer as the first one...
Several similar cases triggered the curiosity of the physicians, who
decided to seek the help of professional dowsers. The result was
the discovery of lines of so-called harmful ‘earth rays’. Actually,
nobody really knows what these lines are made of, but it became
customary to call them earth-ray lines, or sometimes ley lines. As
no rays have ever been identified in relation to these lines, I will
avoid the misleading term ‘earth-ray line’ and refer to them more
simply as ‘earth lines’.
The intensity of the lines varies from one place to another. The
essential fact is that whenever the dowsers investigated the house
of a cancer patient, they would systematically find earth lines of
noxious intensity, either where the patient's bed was or in a place
where he/she would spend a lot of time, such as a desk.
A kind of battle ensued for a few decades in Germany, in which
many respectable medical authorities tried to disprove the whole
theory. Studies were conducted on thousands of cases – sometimes
as many as thirty or fifty thousand cancer patients. And each
time, the results were so overwhelmingly in favour of the
existence of these harmful earth lines that the would-be
detractors turned into the most ardent defenders.
