Book Review Feb. 2003

This Month's Book Review is From The Book Title:

The Pulse Test:

The Secret of Building YOUR BASIC HEALTH

by Arthur F. Coca, M.D.

To: Emil Baron von Dungern scientist, philosopher, poet,

my teacher with gratitude

I am happy to acknowledge the expert assistance that has been

so generously given to the composition of this book by the late

John J. O'Neill, Science Editor of the New York Herald Tribune.

A.C.

Publisher's Preface

Sometime in the early part of 1954, I heard that a man suffering

from diabetes had put aside his insulin and was leading a normal

healthful life without it. I heard that a man who had been

unsuccessfully hospitalized for extremely painful and serious

stomach ulcers was later cured of his ulcers in a matter of days,

and was now living a happy ulcer-free life. My curiosity was

aroused when I learned that the cause of his illness had been found

to be cow's milk-the very thing he was being given to "relieve" the

pain. Cow's milk is nutritious and desirable for most people, but

this patient was allergic to it.

As an editor and a reporter, I was curious about these surprising

reports. I am a skeptic by nature and training, and so I sought

out the doctor who had been responsible for these remarkable

recoveries.

To my consternation, I discovered that what I had heard was only

a small part of the truth. I learned that hundreds of people had

been cured of a long list of illnesses by what appeared to be a

completely revolutionary approach to ill health.

I was profoundly impressed by Dr. Arthur F. Coca's astonishing

results in the treatment of a long list of diseases. He seemed to

have found a way to remove the causes of many illnesses rather

than simply deal with their symptoms.

Members of my own family have since benefited greatly by what

I learned.

I have interviewed people who were told by their physicians that

"nothing could be done" to relieve one kind of affliction or

another, and then in a matter of a few weeks they returned to good

health thanks to Dr. Coca's discoveries.

The Coca pulse-dietary method is simple--yet it requires the

complete cooperation of the patient. It would best be tried under

the guidance of a physician trained in the method.

However, if your physician is not yet acquainted with the Coca

technique, you could apply it yourself, safely in your own home,

by carefully following what this book tells you.

The method is completely harmless. It is relatively simple.

There are no magic elixirs and there is nothing whatsoever to

purchase.

The reward for taking the pulse test and heeding what it shows

you can mean the addition of ten to twenty more years to your

life...years free of high blood pressure, heart attacks, headaches

and a score of other ailments.

Dr. Arthur F. Coca has opened the door to the prevention and

cure of a host of illnesses. You have but to enter.

This is the first book Dr. Arthur Coca has ever written for the

layman. Much of what appears here has previously appeared in

a scientific medical work of which three editions have been

published.

Dr. Coca's professional accomplishments would fill many pages.

Suffice it to say that for seventeen years he was Medical Director

of Lederle Laboratories, one of the largest pharmaceutical houses

in the world. He is Honorary President of the American

Association of Immunologists. He was the founder and first editor

of the Journal of Immunology which is the foremost medical

publication in its field.

He taught at Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania and the Post-

Graduate Medical School at Columbia University.

He has discussed the contents of this book at a seminar at the New

School for Social Research which was attended by delegates from

fourteen nations.

This book is being published because a number of people who have

been helped by the Coca technique convinced Dr. Coca that there

was no need to wait half a century for the medical recognition which

must eventually come.

We convinced him that by informing the layman, he would hasten the

day when the medical profession would be forced to seriously examine

these findings and this technique.

When that day comes, the physician will apply them too....and

millions of men and women will be helped by Dr. Coca's important

contribution to the health and well-being of mankind.

A monumental discovery has been made.

This book is an attempt to spread the good word.

The Pulse Test

Foreword: What Allergy Really Is

A recent editorial in a medical journal says that he who would define

allergy must write a book. You have a book in your hands, but we

will not devote it to definitions.

Rather let's concentrate on your health.

You will find in these pages that allergy means something far more

important to your health and to the length of your life than you ever

possibly imagined.

Before you are done with this book, you will know that allergy no

longer means merely hay-fever or asthma or an outbreak of hives. It

can also mean high blood pressure, diabetes, epileptic seizures and

stammering. It means "that tired feeling," constipation, stomach ulcer,

spells of dizziness, headaches and mental depression. In truth, it may

mean much of what ails the health and happiness of human beings.

However, the book would fail of its chief purpose if it merely explained

allergy. Much more important, it tells you what to do about it.

The visiting doctor can hardly leave his patient without having used his

thermometer, his stethoscope and his watch.

With his watch he times the pulse. But as often as he does this in his

busy career it is exceptional for him to use the pulse count either to

diagnose the illness or to plan its relief.

The pulse has been almost totally neglected as an indicator of ill health.

Yet this simplest of all the methods of examination is the key to some

of the deepest mysteries of man's existence--the key with which he may

emancipate himself from ill health.
