2.0 out of 5 stars Suffer from lack of editorial restraint
This book could have been a great introduction to little-known or suppressed discoveries, if it had been more carefully edited to present a cohesive and coherent case. There are probably many gems of discoveries that deserve more attention and development, but they are lost in the dross of kooks and conspiracy theorists. The medical discoveries section is interesting but...

5.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy theories or not?, August 12, 2005

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
After having done my own research in many of these topics, I was surprised to run across this book which lists so many in one place, plus many others I was not aware of. Excellent research material and many footnotes and references provided to continue researching these topics. When you look at the reasons behind agendas, these conspiracy theories shed light on the why's. Very interesting about the Smithsonian. Anyone who has looked into politics will understand why these subjects should be looked into, rather than just swallow what the media tells us. There are sheep and there are wolves, many people prefer to be sheep and live life with eyes closed. It's more comfortable that way. Eisen shows us things, with doing our own research, that others don't want to see. Excellent book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Case, July 24, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
Jonathan Eisen makes a convincing case that cures for cancer and alternative energy devices are being suppressed. I had professors in engineering college tell stories of people who had been killed for creating super efficient carburetors or former students who had been paid off to stop producing solar energy devices. Well Eisen has put a bunch of these stories together. He even has a whole chapter on alternative carburetors. What I like about the book is that he gives lots of foot notes and references including patents. I don't believe everything he says but with the references I am free to check his sources my self. I think the people on Mars and the moon landing being faked are a little far fetched but he does construct a convincing argument.

5.0 out of 5 stars My only question: how did he get it published?, July 24, 2002

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
I confess immediately to being a conspiracy believer: whenever people say I'm mad for believing the strange theories that people present, I always am reminded of the old saying, "Where there's smoke there's fire" and the ski's full of billowing smoke after reading Eisen's book!
Suppressed Inventions is one of those books that you can easily read and put down and then go back to weeks later because each chapter can be read alone-it is only the totality of all that he writes that leaves you looking for a very stiff drink after you finally put his book down.
I do not have a scientific mind and found the going in several of his chapters reasonably hard; however, this comment is in no way meant to steer any prospective readers away from this extraordinarily rich mine of very necessary material for anybody who would like to keep their fingure on the pulse of the new millennium.
Of the many lights that Eisen has switched on in this remarkable book perhaps the most astounding is chapter 27-"Did NASA Sabotage Its Own Space Capsule?" Aftert reading it I admit to being skeptical-I mean to believe that Grissom, White and Chaffee were murdered by NASA meant that there was no moon landing and that the whole Appollo 11 thing was staged on a secret base in Nevada-whoa!
I was skeptical until two weeks ago when I watched a prime-time TV doco about the theory held by many people that the moon landings were phoney. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that just because the US government says the whole theory is laughable doesn't meam that it's laughable.
My sggestion-buy the book and draw your own conclusions. Even if you think it's all rubbish then at the very least you are left with a compendium of many of the current theories about the truth of what we're allowed to know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, January 2, 2003
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
Definetly a must read, if youre a conspiracy believer like me! Eisen covers suppressed cures for Cancer and a very good review of Tesla, a faorgotten and uncredited Scientist. I dont quite agree with the moon landing story, but Definetly worth the read and Money!

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not the first book on the topic that I have read. I have always found it to be helpful to obtain information from a variaey of sources and authors, to avoid bias. The advantage,(and disadvantage,)of this book is that it gives you a brief synopsis of a variety of topics. It has a good bibliography in the back if you want to read more on the subject that interested you. In comparing the opinions of this author with other sources, I have found the information to be accurate, albeit limited in scope. I have given this book as a gift to several of my friends who are interested in exploring the topic. It serves as an excellent introductory volume. The book avoids getting into highly technical data, so it is an easy read for anyone, and with the relatively short chapters, each on an individual topic, you don't have to read it all in one sitting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Suffer from lack of editorial restraint, June 11, 2009

This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
This book could have been a great introduction to little-known or suppressed discoveries, if it had been more carefully edited to present a cohesive and coherent case. There are probably many gems of discoveries that deserve more attention and development, but they are lost in the dross of kooks and conspiracy theorists. The medical discoveries section is interesting but too often the articles throughout this book are poorly researched, unconvincing, or too vague and leave the subject just as they are about to reveal something of substance about it.

In places, the articles by different authors are actually contradictory, which is an editorial selection problem as much as anything. Two examples will suffice. In one article, the start of the AIDS epidemic is tied to supposed experiments in Africa on germ warfare in the 1970s, yet in another it is tied to the 1950s and immunisation programs. In the space section (or maybe it should be the spaced-out section) one author says the Apollo moon landings never happened and were faked in a studio, while another author says that on landing on the moon, Apollo 11 was watched from the crater rim by two UFOs! Come on guys, you can't have it both ways.

All to often, authors rely on the "secret box" approach to explain why inventions have not been properly reported in a technical sense; without the special box that is kept secret and never opened to other people, the rest of the machine can't work properly. Many times, inventions aren't pursued; this is presented as conspiracy or suppression, when reading the writeups more critically would suggest that many were just poor ideas and the inventors didn't want to admit to wasting their time, or else enthusiastic supporters held on to the dream long after the inventor gave in to reality. Reading critically again, a fair number of these "inventors" are likely to have simply been charlatans and hoaxers; I have had experience with them and fantasists, and they can supprisingly convincingly until their structure of lies collapses under its own weight.

Unfortunately this book won't help you to figure out which is which, and which are the real gems, so I can only give it two stars (it would be one star except for entertainment value) due to lack of critical editorial review and incoherency in places.

4.0 out of 5 stars There are conspiracy facts, not just theories, May 3, 2008
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this was a very informative book about numerous cover-ups. For those people who take the time and effort to research the topics in this book, it will become evident that at the very least, much of it is true.

And here is a BIG one that I have to mention since it isn't in the book, and it's a fact. Students throughout the world are taught information about magnetism that is deliberately misleading and incorrect, and magnetism is at the core of all sciences. A scientist named Albert Roy Davis discovered, in 1936, that the North and South poles of any and all magnets are TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ENERGIES, each having a different effect on matter. His experiments which demonstrate that magnetism is two separate energies (experiments that are 100% reproducible) PROVE that there is an entirely different physics than what is taught in college today, because Michael Faraday's experiments are the basis for accepted physics, and Davis' discovery PROVES that Faraday was wrong!

Davis also discovered that North pole magnetism is extremely effective in eliminating cancer as well as many other diseases. Animals that were experimented on in his laboratory were far more intelligent, lived much longer, and were physically smaller when exposed to the North pole of a magnet shortly before, during or shortly after conception. The South pole animals were much less intelligent, died prematurely, and were physically larger than the animals that had no magnetic exposure. The results were exactly the same with every species tested. The books by Albert Roy Davis and Walter C. Rawls, Jr. are excellent and they will comfirm the suppression of several topics mentioned in this book. My two favorites of theirs are "Magnetism and Its Effects on the Living System" and "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life".

Getting back to Eisen's book, I doubt that the Moon landing was a hoax, but I do believe that there is much more to the story than what is rehashed in the media. Why did we stop going there? Why are we planning on going again? And why, with all of the technological advancments of the past 40 years (even excluding Albert Roy Davis' discovery), is it going to take years to make it back to the moon. It makes no sense, and that tells me that there is certainly another story unfolding behind the headlines.

I don't like the regularity with which the phrase "conspiracy theory" is used because it deceptively implies that they are only theories and can't be proven. There are a number of conspiracies that can and have been proven, making them conspiracy facts, not theories.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised--unless your'e into pseudo-science, September 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
Having been an engineer for over 30 years, one of my side hobbies has been able to see technologies that have been either developed or discovered by accident. Most of this has been talked about, but before the mid 90's, with the infusion of PC's and other personal electronics in the wave, most people didn't pay attention. And since then, we as a society have become transfixed with the awe of "technology"; and we consume it, whether we need it or not. Jonathan Eisen and his book prey on that kind of consumerism....with heavy dashes of conspiracy and pseudo-science. At times he comes across as a infomercial carny; expousing "cures" for cancer and how vaccines are bad for you, to the ultimate conspiracy detective; how NASA purposely caused the death of the Apollo 1 astronauts which ties into the whole "we didn't go to the moon" conspiracy, which ties into the whole "UFO's and aliens are working with the government" conspiracy. The book regularly takes heavy doses of cafeteria engineering--picking up what proves your point and leaving behind what you don't like--and postulation; just because I form a question, doesn't mean there isn't a legitimate answer...and if you answer it, I'll just ignore it (case in point, NASA knew using 100% oxygen was dangerous; that information had been passed on by the Air Force from the findings on the projects Manhigh and Excelsior, but they had gotten away with it in the Mercury and Gemini programs, so instead of a major redesign of the Apollo capsule which was already behind schedule, it was decide to just go ahead with it as is, with a tragic outcome).
Even for the conspiracy theorists, there's nothing new here; just a rehashing of a lot of the same 'ol stuff. And a lot of the writing seems like it was lifted from other authors---David Hatcher Childress comes to mind---which in itself could be a conspiracy. Bottom line, if you're looking for some legitimate info on suppressed technology, look somewhere else.........

5.0 out of 5 stars Undoubtedly worth the read, October 1, 2010
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is very interesting, to the point where it's hard to put down.
Some people will have trouble swallowing the concepts; but no matter your age, intellect, interests, or attitude, i would recommend this book to any who have come far enough to find it, or somehow stumble upon it. To emphasize my enthusiasm, this is the second product on amazon that I've found worthy of leaving feedback for. Read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, great read - I highly recommend this book, December 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Suppressed Inventions (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The content is grouped into categorizes; such as energy, medicine, and science which makes focusing on a topic simpler. This information opened my eyes expanding my understanding of how things really work... or at least potentially work. For example, is the FDA's main focus to help the American consumer or are they really just a strong arm for the pharmaceutical companies?

The book is great for exposing topics and people. Much of the deep research is lacking, however, I found this book to be a great pointer. For example, I learned of Dr. Max Gerson and his natural cancer protocol. Since then, I have done my own research on Dr. Gerson, benefiting tremendously from my research. A second example would be Archie Blue, and his work on hydrogen fuel. A third example is Nikola Tesla's work on electricity.

Since reading "Suppressed Inventions" I have obtained all of Telsa's patents - they are freely available to all. I've also put a hydro cell in my car - which is still theory at this point, but it's fun to work around with and spend time with my teenage son trying.

The point is, this book is great for introducing us to ideas which have been suppressed. We are supplied with enough information to understand an Executive Overview on diverse topics, and supplied the informational pointers to do our own research; digging out what is truly of interest to us. Of course, the additional research is only required if you are attempting to implement some of these ideas - which I am doing.

My favorite concept learned from ready this book is that if an individual comes up with a free solution which threatens a multi-billion industry - he or she will have problems. I'd say that's not too much of a stretch <smile>.
