Overview of The Tune-Up Manual for Humans

In the Beginning (Genesis)

Anthropologists currently believe that human beings have been on this planet for four million years. During most of this time, the majority of people grew their own food, ate wild foods growing in nature, and killed animals, birds, and other life forms for food and clothing. Healing remedies were derived from plants, animals, fish, earth and seawater. All food was eaten raw. They got water from rivers and springs. The air was rich in oxygen and unpolluted. People got up at dawn, worked outdoors and were exposed to sunlight and slept when it was dark. This went on for millions of years. Man's food, air, water, and light sources of energy were unpolluted.

Some Time Later

When fire could be produced at will, man began to cook food. This was the first step toward changing the natural order of things. Enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates are altered by heat. Fire's light also enabled people to work at night and indoors. Fire also led to the production of new tools.

The Industrial Revolution began after Isaac Newton integrated the sciences in the 1600's . This has resulted in rapid changes of food, air, water, and light sources of energy. Besides cooking food, people developed ways of refining food. Great Britain was the first country to refine sugar cane and sugar beets into pure white sugar. The use of this man-made substance for the past 300 years (15 generations) has affected mental and physical performance resulting in an increased incidence of 25,000 degenerative diseases.

Dr. Weston Price, a dentist, traveled around the world to visit primitive tribes at the turn of this century. He wrote his findings in his book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" published in 1945. This book should be the first book you read on the subject of nutrition and how it affects our mental and physical condition. The Order Form has this and other books you will want to read to learn how to improve your mental and physical performance and decrease the occurrence of degenerative diseases. Dr. Price and Dr. Pottinger, M.D., did a ten-year research project on 800 cats showing the effects of eating raw versus cooked foods. The videotape of their research can also be found on the Order Form.

At the beginning of this century, 1900, one out of eight thousand (1/8,000) people died of cancer. In 1998, one out of three people die of cancer. What changed to create this statistic? Earth's environment, farming practices, food, air, water, and light sources of energy have changed dramatically in what could be the life span of one person. Earth's environment is changing faster than Homo Sapiens can genetically adapt to the changes. Evolution, on the other hand, is a very slow process.

Some Evidence

Besides the evidence presented by Price and Pottinger, Dr. Melvin Page, a dentist, based on his studying the works of Price and Pottinger, began the idea of "balancing body chemistry" and published his first book "Degeneration-Regeneration" in 1949. He learned from Price and Pottinger that when members of a primitive tribe were introduced to refined and processed foods versus the foods they had eaten for millions of years, their offspring were born with mental and physical signs and symptoms of degeneration. When they reverted back to their native diet, their next offspring were normal. The Price-Pottinger cat experiment demonstrated that cats that ate only cooked foods could no longer produce new kittens in four generations. They became extinct. The incidence of infertility among humans is also increasing.

In 1971, Dr. Page published another book "Health versus Disease." From 1949 to 1971, Dr. Page demonstrated on thousands of patients that reverting back to the "caveman diet" with the help of vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, and extremely low doses of hormones could stop the progress of degenerative diseases caused by malnutrition. He proved once again that degeneration could be reversed to regeneration.

Dr. Jack Alpan, a dentist, read Dr. Pages books including "A Layman's View of Degeneration-Regeneration," 1968, and "Body Chemistry in Health and Disease," written for health professionals providing primary health care, such as, dentists, medical doctors, chiropractors, etc. In December of 1972, Dr. Alpan went to St. Petersburg Beach, Florida to learn Dr. Page's methods of "balancing body chemistry." He saw many patients' medical records demonstrating the disappearance of cancer, scleroderma, arthritis, diabetes and hundreds of different degenerative diseases. Dr. Alpan set up a medical laboratory, hired a medical lab technician and began doing blood tests on his dental patients in Los Angeles, California, in 1973.

For the first year of doing the Page Method, Dr. Alpan sent copies of all of the work he did on the first twenty patients to Dr. Page. He was so pleased with Dr. Alpan's demonstration of his understanding of his Method that he gave Dr. Alpan the first right to teach the Page Method to other health professionals. Dr. Page invited Dr. Alpan to give a lecture on "Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, and Elimination" at the same meeting he was scheduled to speak to about 300 other health professionals. Later, Dr. Alpan created the first course ever given on the Page Method by someone other than Dr. Page.

In order to prevent attack from the American Medical Association, Dr. Alpan had every patient sign a disclaimer that he was "balancing body chemistry" only to stop and prevent the most prevalent degenerative diseases on Earth. Caries (tooth decay), inflamed and bleeding gums, tartar buildup on teeth [calcium deposits on teeth and movable joints (arthritis), kidney stones, gall stones, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis)], and bone loss around teeth (osteoporosis) are the most common degenerative diseases on Earth and can be stopped and prevented. After doing 24,000 blood, hair, urine and saliva analyses, Dr. Alpan published the results of his findings in 1986 in his first book The Tune-Up Manual for Humans - How to Live a High Performance Life.

In 1979, Dr. Alpan learned about the Dermatron, an electronic biofeedback device developed in the 1940's by Dr. Voll, a German medical doctor. At that postgraduate class, he discovered the hazards of mercury-silver (amalgam) fillings. After putting amalgam fillings in people's teeth for 16 years, Dr. Alpan campaigned against amalgam fillings until he retired from dentistry in December 1997. For eighteen years, people came to him from all over the world to replace amalgam fillings with white composite, porcelain, or gold fillings, crowns and bridges.

Doug Leber developed the Computron, based on the Dermatron, and connected it to a computer and printer to make it easier for doctors to use and patients to understand.

He trained Dr. Alpan's daughter, Wendy, how to use the Computron. Wendy took classes from others as well and finally studied to become a Naturopathic Doctor. Her father had taught Wendy the principles of good nutrition during her entire lifetime. She read many books on nutrition as she was growing up. Her many years of personal study were above and beyond the courses she took to become a Naturopathic Doctor.

Naturopathic Doctors do not diagnose and treat disease as medical doctors do. They use the Computron or other means to find early energy imbalances in order to "balance body chemistry." They treat the whole person's mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical imbalances without surgery (cutting), without drugs with harmful side affects (poisoning), and without radiation (burning). They use the ninety nutrients we must have every day of our lives to avoid malnutrition leading to diminished mental and physical performance--degeneration.

Dr. Alpan purchased the Computron that measures early energy changes in the acupuncture meridians. He referred his patients to Dr. Wendy Alpan, trained to use the Computron, to determine which foods, food supplements, enzymes, hormones, herbs, homeopathic remedies, etc. are best for each patient in order to help them "balance their body chemistry" to stop and prevent degeneration due to malnutrition. There are approximately 25,000 named degenerative diseases. Dr. Wendy Alpan provides nutritional counseling and nutritional products that "balance energy and body chemistry" that helps people take responsibility to stop and prevent their degeneration resulting in their regeneration and improved mental and physical performance.

The Ultimate Question

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor and a Medical Doctor (medicine man or woman).

Medicine men and women are trained to diagnose the signs and symptoms of disease and treat them with surgery, radiation, and drugs (medicines). You can read a Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) to verify that every drug created by the drug industry has one or more harmful side effects. Medicine doctors cut, burn, and poison their patients to treat infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They get no training to prevent or treat degenerative disease caused by malnutrition, yet they treat degeneration with medicines, surgery, and radiation as if it is infectious disease. They cut out, burn, and poison their patient's signs and symptoms of degenerative diseases instead of trying to discover the cause of the degeneration. When they fail to reverse degeneration, they tell their patients it's all in their mind and refer them to a psychiatrist. They should refer these patients to a Naturopathic Doctor.

Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are not trained to cut, burn, and poison their patients. They are trained to educate their patients about the ways and means of stopping and preventing degeneration and how to regenerate the body's ability to heal itself. NDs are trained to change the external and internal environment causing degeneration in order to help the body regenerate itself. Their primary concern is the Hippocratic instruction, "Do no harm to the patient!"

"The Tune-Up Manual for Humans - How to Live A High Performance Life", by Dr. Jack Alpan was written for every child, woman, and man who wants to assume full responsibility for their condition to avoid degenerative diseases and achieve the highest levels of mental and physical performance possible. Thousands of children, women, and men have learned how to reverse degeneration to regeneration. Thousands of people have improved their mental and physical condition to such a degree as to enable them to learn how to make more money, keep more of what they make, and build a safety net to protect all of it without harming another man, woman or child in the process.
