i havent been abducted by aliens since i bought this book

I actually bought this book to give to my brother as a joke, and decided to read through it first. I found it to be a very interesting account of the abduction phenomenon. While I don't believe that people are actually being abducted by spacemen in flying saucers (a view the author seems to share, incidently), I now believe this phenomenon is very real, and probably very puzzling and frightening to the people who experience it. For those people, this book should be an invaluable aid to help them take control of their situation. Recommended for anyone interested in the subject.

This book raised so many more questions that it tried to answer. For instance, if it's true, as the author contends, that alien abductions can be prevented if the experiencer uses techniques which prevent Incubi/Succubi visitations, can a case be made "aliens" and "demons" are one in the same phenomenon? I would suggest reading this book along with one called COSMIC TEST TUBE, which gives the entire history of ideas about alien abduction and provides a few more possible answers!

Like others, I assumed this was a joke when I bought it, but was delighted to find it not only serious, but highly practical and refreshingly free from dogma. This book could save many abductees much misery.

The best thing about this book is its essential phenomenalism: it doesn't need to make any assumptions about what UFOs actually are, only the (surely incontrovertible) observation that there are people being troubled by abduction experiences. The methods here are appropriate no matter whether "alien beings" come from outer space, the spirit world, or the unconscious mind.

Also notable is the challenging of the highly destructive notion of absolute impotence before the alien beings. This is a modern notion, I believe, nowhere found in the fairy-lore precursors to the UFO phenomenon. Be true to yourself and fight back! Actually I wish people were more aware of the folklore connection between fairies and UFO aliens. When you read the original material there's little doubt that the two are no more that two popular explanations for the same phenomenon.

If you accept this book's premises as true -- that alien beings from alternate universes are traveling to the Earth using "dimensions" that we perceive as ordinary forces (gravity, electromagetism etc), and these aliens are conversing with / experimenting upon Earthlings all the time -- then this is an extremely solid and interesting, very seriously composed literary work.

And at the same time, a phrase from the film "Terminator II" kept arising in my mind as I read about the different defensive techniques: "delusional architecture." Every single occurrence of one of these abductions sounds identical to a standard-issue, plain old deep dream.

Actually this is not a book for a skeptic and to those looking for information I would recommend this book anyday.. I am both a contactee and abductee and I've learned quite a bit over the years. I know condescending is not of Light and there is always some that say this is a good beginner book for those not experienced.. Question : How can one say that they have no experience with abductions and then think to tell someone it is a book for those less experienced when they themselves say they have no experience. I think it is a book that should be left up to the Abductee to decide and not to listen to anyones testimony except the one within your own heart.. Abduction is very real.. They abduct the ones Spiritually In Light, not the ones in Spiritual darkness.. That is the big LIE out there.. They go after the ones with the highest vibrations due to them needing to thwart their vibrant energy and STOP Their spiritual sides from helping others to awaken.. Matt Delooze has wonderful information about abduction and so do many of us that write long long posts on Internet in books as well... There is no need to abduct those that are already in their pockets of mind control, it is the ones that resist and have the abilities to resist through Spirit of High Vibration that they seek to take.. Makes you realize that some just do not know how powerful they are in Light.... This is NOT.. I REPEAT NOT a book for beginners or so called In-experienced.. This is a book for all experienced souls of Light who tangle with the forces of Dark.... I recommend this HIGHLY...

"Ann Druffel is an indefatigable, veteran UFO researcher who has for more than 40 years completed intensive, first-hand investigations and authored numerous articles and books on close-encounter UFO cases, the witnesses, and also abductees: i.e. those people who claim intrusion into their lives by the actual presence of UFO entities..... The popular explanations that infest the media today usally ascribe these unusual events to extraterrestrial visitations. Ann Druffel contributes through HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTION countless examples from her long-term database which demonstrate how these unwanted intrusions can be successfully resisted... specific "how to" techniques [such as] mental struggle, physical struggle.. protective rage, intuition, and metaphysical methods... Rather than being a cookbook-like expiation, Druffel's exposition is an in-depth and scholarly probing, replete with seminal references and footnotes, often accompanied with stimulating and challenging speculations.... She shows how these invasions induce trance-like states in the afflicted person and how these can be broken or ameliorated with relief from the immediate attack and, in many instances, how to prevent repeat episodes of atack. She stresses the apparent psychobiology and possible genetics of the invasions, i.e. how these involve various family members, sometimes unknown to each other and extending over generations....

"Druffel also presents medically sophisticated details that make HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTION a most valuable book and more meaningful than what the perhaps restricted title might suggest... By delving into ancient religious and cultural paradigms inclding Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Persian beliefs and so forth.... Ann Druffel presents strong evidence for the interdimensional hypothesis.... There is also the question of alleged alien implants which begs for study... [I]f these were proven to exist, this should only push further researches suggesting the possibility of apportations which happen in dissociative states with paranormal physical effects.

[Her] view that these alien abductors are interdimensional and pose as physical UFO occupants.. is practical and possible to study through paranormal research in experimental Ufology; this might be more pragmatic than invoking fanciful theories without any substantive documentation....

HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTION is an easy to read, focused book destined to become a classic. [It] transcends the literal meaning of its title and presents in a lively and stimulating manner an entire hostr of often surprise issues that are dealt with in a scholarly and yet mouth-watering manner. Quench your thirst with HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST ALIEN ABDUCTION and be prepared for a roller coaster ride into the unknown.

As a Grey, I found this book to be entirely slanderous of me and my people and our mission on Earth. We are not here to "abduct" you, perform horrible experiments and make you doubt the reality of your own petty, wormlike existences. We are here as mere researchers, trying to discover what it is about humanity that makes you so... special. If the advice in this book were to be taken, why, our research would come to a complete standstill! Without subjects to study, how can we know more about you and your inconsequential lives? We are on your planet for entirely peaceful reasons, and not - I repeat NOT - here to steal your genetic material to build an invincible army to utterly annihilate those crustaceous scum on Alpha Centauri.

What's more, it would completely mess up the fourth season of "Who Wants to Be an Earthling," and you really don't want to screw with the networks like that.

Don't buy this book! Think about the bigger picture!

The title of this book may give the impression that it's written by some kind of kook; after all, most people who know little or nothing about the abduction enigma are informed by popular consensus culture that it probably doesn't even exist, and that "conventional explanations" ranging from "sleep paralysis" to "lucid dreaming" explain all the reports. Only if they investigate deeply into the matter do they discover that none of these flimsy "psychological" explanations fit the data, and the phenomenon - whatever it is - is real enough.

Ann Druffel is a multiply-qualified ex-NICAP and CUFOS investigator and author of several moderately successful books, including "The Tujunga Canyon Contacts", an early examination of the abduction issue originally published in 1980 and twice updated and reprinted; and "Firestorm", a respected 2003 biography of Dr. James McDonald. She has in the past inclined towards the view that the hard evidence for unidentified flying objects (filmed, photographed and recorded on radar performing extraordinary manouvers, chased by military jets etc.) and abductions are two separate phenomena, the latter being some kind of inter-dimensional intrusion but not necessarily perpetrated by UFO occupants.

So, what about this book? Well, Druffel has researched the issue and interviewed a lot of abductees over the years, and here simply describes techniques, with a chapter devoted to each, which abductees claim to be effective for them in warding off the abductors. These techniques are, in chapter order:

1. Mental struggle

2. Physical struggle

3. Righteous anger

4. Protective rage

5. Support from family members

6. Intuition

7. Metaphysical methods

8. Appeal to spiritual personages (i.e. calling on the name of Jesus etc.)

9. Repellents - incense and perfumes etc.

Plus two final chapters: "What Abducting Entities in other Cultures tell us about Greys" and "The Bitter Controversy."

Overall the book is quite well written, with serious intent, and not a trivial work from an uninformed writer. Whether any of these techniques really work in practice is doubtful, as experience shows that abductees often sincerely believe abduction has been prevented whilst simultaneously experiencing a seamless period of missing time, during which an abduction has in fact taken place, the memory of the event having been blocked and a "successfully thwarted" delusion substituted by the abductors.

Those seriously interested in this phenomenon might consider reading this book to add to their store of knowledge. However, the contents and conclusions should be viewed with caution: you may believe these techniques can be effective, but it ain't necessarily so.

Yup, it works. I was kidnapped by aliens at least a half dozen times prior to reading this book but I haven't been nabbed since. I usually fend them off using the "righteous anger" method but recently I have been having success with the "repellents" technique (I always carry a can of Raid). The "physical struggle" concept doesn't always work too well due to the immobilizing beam. Since I've always liberally doused myself with the Raid prior to their zapping me with the immobilizer, I have avoided capture anyway (I knew they were coming by using the "Intuition" method). I must take issue with the "Appeal to Spiritual Personages" chapter, however, and this is why I can only give the book 4 stars. In my previous abductions God didn't seem much to care when I got snagged even though I prayed a good deal. They'd have me strapped down to the examining table and I'd be speaking in tongues. Still, no divine intervention for me. My recent conversion to Christian Science from Mormonism just may do the trick though.
