Tracing Your Ancesters (1)

In the early day of biorhythm research, many books explained how the "discovery" of biorhythms came about following empirical observations. In other words those interested in researching the subject noted the effects of biorhythms. Then they calculated back from the conclusion to reach "the cause", of biorhythms, as they saw it. For instance Dr. Wilhelm Fleiss, one of the leading early researchers into biorhythms, worked through 10,000 family trees for 3 generations in an attempt to establish correlations and biorhythm patterns. Dr. Fleiss used notes taken from his patients, his acquaintances, his family and his friends. This huge project was undertaken before the invention of biorhythm calculators, or computers in any form, so the arithmetic had to be done manually, using a system similar to that set out in The Biorhythm WorkBook or The Biorhythm Kit.

A researcher in genetic genealogy needs your help. Would you answer just 5 questions? It should only take a minute or two. Go to "Survey" in the Menu Bar at the top. Thank you in advance.

UK biorhythm researchers also interested in genealogy might like to search, or to join Ancestry.com. Many UK reference libraries have free access to the Ancestry.com program, which holds the most extensive UK Census collection on-line today. Ancestry.com is also the largest family history site on-line with over 4 billion names listed worldwide. Why not start with a 14 day free trial?



Both the Mormon Church, and the Salvation Army, have excellent facilities for family history research.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in S.W. London, and the main Church Genealogy Research Facility in the UK is there. The Temple is situated almost adjacent to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Exhibition Road in London SW7. Entry, and much of the research, is available free of charge. There are also regional research centres, both in the UK and throughout world. At the London Biorhythm Company we have no personal experience of using the regional facilities. We would strongly suggest that you shouldn't unduly worry about the religious implications of researching these Church held genealogical sources. Our experience of using the research facilities provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is that no-one has tried to convert us! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints holds the largest genealogical collection in the world.

To access the records held by the Salvation Army click through to the Salvation Army Territorial Headquarters website where you will find details of their Family Records Centre, by typing "Family History Research" into the Search Box at the top left hand side. For postal enquiries write to The Salvation Army Family Records Centre, Smedley Hydro, Trafalgar Road, Southport PR8 2HH, UK. The Salvation Army holds good, probably the most comprehensive, records relating to British emigration in the 19th century.

The National Archives , formerly known as the Public Records Office, or the PRO, is at Ruskin Avenue, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU. The nearest Underground Station is Kew Gardens. At The National Archives they also hold ships' passenger lists. You need to know details of the ship's name, date of sailing and port in order to access information from these records.

Personal research which were previously held at the Family Records Centre, are held by the UK Registrar General's office. The are the births, marriages and deaths, in England and Wales, and they go back until 1837. When the Family Records Centre recently closed the research service became on-line only.

  • This fascinating postcard, held in the Archives of Ki Cards, has been difficult to identify. We know it was specifically printed as a postcard, and that it originated from "S. Gillingham, Stickland, Blandford (Dorset is assumed!). It can probably be dated as coming from the late 1890s or early 1900s. The BACK (what we'd call the picture side!) says "For INLAND Postage only this space may be used for communication. For FOREIGN POSTAGE the back (picture side) only". This stipulation of the postal regulation suggests an approximate date for the card.

    At the London Biorhythm Company we provide a free link to our biorhythm program It enables you to calculate biorhythms up to the end of December 2009. You can also investigate biorhythm compatability.. If you like working with our biorhythm program you can buy the complete version of it from the Biorhythm Products page on the Meeting Point, or from Ki Publishing.

    Ongoing Research.

    We have undertaken a major study on biorhythm research and suicides and in this we are co-operating with the Institut für Glische Medizin der Universitat Innsbruck. Other areas we are particularly interested in are vaccine damage and inoculation reactions; Brief Recurrent Depression (BRD), adverse reactions from domestic animals - incidents like dog bites from normally friendly dogs - and we are working on a project with the post office, who are supplying incident figures.

    The International Biorhythm Association, and earlier

    ***************************Around 8 miles from here in Sutton Coldfield, the late Dr. Keith Jolles, a GP lived and worked. He was the British Member of the International Biorhythm Association, and eventually the BMA reference point for biorhythm information, a title which, with agreement, he passed on to me.

    Keith Jolles worked on biorhythms when to do so stigmamatised him within the medical establishment, and it was not until the late 1970s that such attitudes slowly began to change and he felt able to write widely on the subject using the pen name Dr. Michael Kennedy.

    Keith Jolles was always an inspiration to me, and so, as I am virtually on his home territory, I dedicate this talk to him.

    He inspired me to continue thinking about the subject; supported me when I applied for and was awarded a DTI Design Initiative Award, and was delighted when, pushing my luck, the biorhythm wheel reached the final round for consideration for inclusion as an exhibit within the Millenium Dome.


    More Biorhythm Research #02

    Bi-Polar Disorder and Manic Depression.

    Psychological Reports

    Charles McMullen and Richard Smith would very much appreciate hearing from anyone interested in the biorythms of manic depressive genius. Charles McMullen has the dates of birth, and dates of death of many such individuals on computer disc. He needs someone to do the statistical work on this study so that he can work their arduous achievements into his research. Charles is of the view that the achievements of manic depressive genius are 90% sweat: 10% genius. Charles McMullen would be happy to negociate for the information he has collected, and which has taken a lot of time and effort to compile. He occasionally writes, poetry some of which can be viewed at www.poems.co.uk.

    At the London Biorhythm Company we are in reasonably regular correspondence with a number of people suffering from bi-polar illness. Two are famous in their own fields. Anyone who would like their correspondence with Charles or Richard circulated, amongst a number of highly intelligent interested people who do not wish to be publically named here can copy us in on their e.mails. Please mark them "Bi Polar Research for Circulation" in the subject line. Some might chose to reply individually.

    Is there a medical term which you might not understand the meaning of? Here is a link to the Mirriam Webster Medical Dictionary, one of a number of such sites which should explain the term you are interested in.

    Melatonin and the Sleep Cycle

    This hormone helps to regulate the sleep/wake circadian rhythm that (ideally) remains consistent from night to night. As we age the production of metatonin decreases. It is produced in the brain by the pineal gland and can be a sleep-aid. It also alleviates the symptoms of stabbing headaches, and may even play a role in the body's natural defences against cancer. It is an anti-oxidant and plays a significant part in the way the body uses up the fat it has stored. This is why it is often given to animals, particularly venison. The animals then produce more lean meat more quickly.

    Hormones, and melatonin is a hormone are the chemical messengers of the body, and even small changes in the levels of hormones in the body can have a huge impact on the mind and body of an individual. For this reason, even if you can get hold of melatonin you should only take a SMALL DOSE - THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM should be 2mg. Don't take melatonin if you are takiong other prescription medicines, and it is very unsafe to drive or use machinery within 5 hours of taking it.

    In the past it has been sold as a supplement to help the symptoms of jet-lag. Now, many countries, including the UK, ban the sale of melatonin as an over-the-counter supplement. This is regulated by the Medicine and Health Regularity Authority (MHRA), and UK residents may be able to get melatonin on prescription through their doctor. (There used to be a shop called the Jet Lag Shop in London's Piccadilly, but this first moved to less central premises, and now seems to have closed).

    If you can not get melatonin then another supplement 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) might be a useful substitute. 5-HTP acts as a precursor for the body to manufacture another hormone, serotonin, and the body uses serotonin to make its melatonin.

    In the US it is legal to buy melatonin pills. Elsewhere Higher Nature's Serotone 5-HTP costs around £9 for 30 capsules. Mail order from the UK is via + 44 1435 884668.

    When I first saw SLUMBERLAND Milk in Waitrose supermarket I suspected it could be a gimmick. However, on reading the label I noticed that this organic milk is naturally high in melatonin. The reasons are explained on the producer's website.

    Jacyntha's reasoning is that: on CAUTION DAYS in the PHYSICAL biorhythm we have lower levels of melatonin (among other measureable components). Melatonin helps to regulate our body clock, and also, to a lesser degree, our reactions times/speed, so it might seem sensible to use the extra melatonin in this organic milk to counter some of the effects of our caution days in a natural way.

    Slumberland milk tastes different to other milks, but this writer personally quite like that taste! The milk itself is quite expensive. Other Melatonin-rich foods include: bananas, cherries, ginger, tomatoes, corn, cucumber and rice, and do remember that some people find their body's natural production of melatonin may slow down by sleeping with the lights or the TV on.

I would ask for the cost of copies plus the postage.

    SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.

  • Charity, Livingstreets, says (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT's dark evenings put pedestrians at risk.

    Do we know whether Seasonal Affective Disorder is primarily a function of circadian rhythm upset, or is it a function of the decreased light intensity/total insolation in the winter independent of circadian rhythm issues? (Or is more complicated than that)?

    The blog of the Online Community Manager at Public Library of Science , the (US) Public Library of Science should help answer this. This Manager's scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), and he has additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. His job entails motivating comment on the papers listed by the Public Library of Science .

    "... I very like your approach to biorhythm research. I am also researcher in this field. I am interested in coincidence and critical days issues, that could be applicable to life with high probability. I am still in the search of my half, so I have very good stimulus to do this research and enjoy the process.
    ...Thank you for your open position and your readiness to share your experience. I would like to ask you send me Bibliography you have by e-mail. I live in Kazakhstan and our native (languages are) is Russian and Kazakh, but I didn't found any books on the subject. Thus I started to search for English books and found your wonderful site.

    We (obviously!) believe biorhythms are an intrical part of human nature.

    Sooner or later then, it was obvious that, as a thinking species, we were bound to "recognise" the existence of biorhythms (or "something remarkably similar"!)

    For some postulated theories on the origins of biorhythms you might like to refer to "Kardas" (www.kardas.net/CV3.html)or "Johnson" in the General football injuries, and the links provided there.

    Our extensive football injuries is another.

    We are proud of our Extensive football injuries.

    Using this football injuries you can see just who has researched what in the field of biorhythms, and when they did this.

    Then, by referring to our Sleeping (or Not) by the Wrong Clock you can assess some of the current biorhythm research which is being undertaken, and perhaps begin a correspondence with those biorhythm researchers who undertaking it.

    Many psychologists are interested in researching biorhythms. Terence M. "Hines", PhD, in his paper "A Comprehensive Review of Biorhythms" (August 1998), The Biorhythm WorkBook 83,19-64 helped us enormously to increase our list of references. We have gratefully acknowledged this. Free reprints of the biorhythm research paper by Dr. Hines are available from him while stocks last.

    If you have your own published or unpublished biorhythm research and want to share it with others, please send us details and we can list this on the Sleeping (or Not) by the Wrong Clock for you. There is no charge for this, but your work must be original and appropriate. If acceptable, and if you'd like us to we can then provide a link so that other biorhythm researchers can contact you directly.

    The same principle applies to items for the football injuries. Obviously we are never going to be on top of everything, so if you come across a biorhythm publication which we have accidentally overlooked please do let us know, and if you are agreeable, we'll acknowledge your help when we list it in the football injuries.

    Whether you believe in the existence of biorhythms or not is (obviously!) up to you. Assuming you have at least an open mind as to whether biorhythms do or don't exist, doesn't it make practical sense to at least try and live in harmony with what could be an intrical part of human nature? You, after all might benefit, and unless you are a sceptic, you'd have nothing to lose! A small change to incorporate a subliminal knowledge of biorhythms into your daily life would require little effort from you. Such a change might, if you use it as part of an accident prevention programme, for example, save you considerable hassle further down the line of life.

    Our point of view is that it seems pointless not to try something which wouldn't hurt you and might well help you. After all, if you don't benefit, you just move on!

    At the London Biorhythm Company our philosophy is to promote an understanding of biorhythms, and to help as many as possible to use this knowledge of biorhythms as a foundation for good health.

    To supplement this interest in biorhythms we try to suggest some natural and holistic remedies, and gentle exercise, as a first step to physical fitness.

    Where appropriate we cross-reference into the biorhythm information we provide some of our other health and environment-related interests. This seems, to us, sensible. In nature nothing exists in isolation!

    We are, though, without a doubt, fully aware that some, perhaps many, health issues respond best to allopathic (conventional) medicine.



    Reduce accidents in the home.

    The home is where most minor and some major accidents occur. These, and other accidents, can be greatly reduced by using a knowledge of biorhythms as a "preventative" tool.

    Biorhythms are inter-conntected with our fluctating stress levels, and can be used to indicate a potential period for personal mishaps. This is done by using biorhythm "predictability" to your advantage. Further details of how to do this can be read in, among other references, Ancestry.com, which you can browse on www.safemedication.com. If you look through the football injuries you will also see a lot of serious biorhythm research has been published which explains how to use the "predictive" powers of biorhythms to reduce accidents.

  • 4 Biorhythms and Sport:

  • By comparing the biorhythm charts of two or more equally matched players, opponents on a particular day, you will see that their biorhythms play a decisive role in a outcome. Competitors are similarly talented and well trained, and equally fit, then the positions of their biorhythms is a deciding factor. Checking through the biorhythm charts you can also explain (or "predict") many of the "shock" results of sporting fixtures. This is explained in greater detail in "Ancestry.com", which can be browsed on www.safemedication.com, or bought on the 14 day free trial? of The Meeting Point. There you will also find further practical uses of biorhythms in everyday life. Further explanations can be found via "What are Biorhythms?" and the Sleeping (or Not) by the Wrong Clock of this website.



    Biorhythm Personality and Compatiblility Analysis for the 21st Century

    by Mini Examiner subscriber Wendy Hawks

    I've been an Astrologer since 1976, and into Biorhythm Personality & Compatibility Analysis ("BPCA") for 7 years. I quickly reached the conclusion BPCA is the most accurate and concise system for judging compatibility in use today! As a result, I quit doing complex astrological compatibility readings in favor of the shorter and far more insightful Bio Compatibility!

    While we Biorhythm Personality & Compatibility Analysts are out there, there's no question our amazingly accurate (and possibly life-saving!) craft deserves greater recognition than it currently enjoys. For this reason, I would like to see BPCA gain world-wide acceptance. While this sounds quite ambitious, I believe it's within the realm of possibility, judging from how other types of metaphysical groups (Astrologers, WICCA enthusiasts, Theosophical Society, for example) caught the public's attention by forming their own official special interest groups.

    Exactly what would forming an International BPCA Organization involve?
    Irene Hamlen Stephenson's BPCA newsletter, Mini Examiner, has many talented subscribers, including computer programmers, website managers, writers, math experts and, of course, BPCA consultants.

    With this in mind, if Irene's subscribers were to join forces and organize our very own professional organization, I'm convinced "the sky's the limit" relative to the future success of our craft. (For example, I envision a possible future in which Biorhythm Personality & Compatibility Analysts are highly-respected consultants to family and couples counseling services, and quite possibly a far more reliable resource than those ubiquitous dating services!)

    The first steps would be to set up an official BPCA website, and spread the word far and wide through mailings and advertising. Like other noted organizations, potential members could be offered annual subscriptions, and benefits might include a newsletter, classes and conferences, a research cell, and possibly even a certification program.

    BPCA enthusiasts with literary talents could be involved in the gathering and compilation of literature, with a view to ultimately publishing a recommended book list. (When doing some BPCA research recently, I re-read issues of Irene's Mini Examiner, going back to 1999, as well as her Bio lessons, Personality Types, and other insightful instructional materials. There's no question Irene is a prolific writer, and that all of her writings should be published one of these days!)

    The BPCA organization's official book list might also include a Month-by-Month Biorhythm Ephemeris for the entire 20th and 21st Centuries. (Sample month on the back of this sheet.)

    Additionally, Biorhythm Personality & Compatibility Analysts with advanced computer programming skills could be encouraged to write software programs, to include Bio calculation options, and possibly even BPCA interpretation features.

    Final Words
    I'm extremely grateful to Irene Hamlen Stephenson for opening my eyes to the marvels of BPCA, and for allowing me to outline my ideas relative to an official BPCA community here. When it comes to BPCA, there's no doubt in my mind Irene is the first and foremost in our field. And, that she always will be!

    I would welcome your feedback and/or offers of assistance with this project, dear Mini Examiner subscribers.*

    REMEMBER: Each of us is a part of Planet Earth's relationship game. If we're willing to spread the word about BPCA, our combined efforts might actually bring about more harmonious human interactions on a global scale -- during the the 21st Century and perhaps far beyond!
