Product Description
Reveals the cutting edge of New Science and shows how established science disallows inquiry that challenges the status quo--even when it produces verifiable results
• Contains 43 essays by 19 researchers denoting cutting-edge, heretical, or suppressed scientific research, including Immanuel Velikovsky, Nikola Tesla, Rupert Sheldrake, and Masaru Emoto
• Edited by Atlantis Rising publisher, J. Douglas Kenyon
Following the model of his bestselling Forbidden History and Forbidden Religion, J. Douglas Kenyon has assembled from his bimonthly journal, Atlantis Rising, material that explores science and technology that has been suppressed by the orthodox scientific community--from the true function of the Great Pyramid and the megaliths at Nabta Playa to Immanuel Velikovsky’s astronomical insights, free energy from space, cold fusion, and Rupert Sheldrake’s research into telepathy and ESP.
There is an organized war going on in science between materialistic theory and anything that could be termed spiritual or metaphysical. For example, Masaru Emoto’s research into the energetics of water, although supported by photographic evidence, has been scoffed at by mainstream science because he has asserted that humans affect their surroundings with their thoughts. The materialism or absolute skepticism of the scientific establishment is detrimental to any scientific inquiry that thinks outside the box. This mentality is interested in preserving funding for its own projects, those that will not rock the establishment. From Tesla’s discovery of alternating current to Robert Schoch’s re-dating of the Sphinx, this book serves as a compelling introduction to the true history of alternative and New Science research.

Three stars October 8, 2008
The first part of the book is mainly the author defending what most call alternative science, against mainstream scientists. It got a little off subject as the author named scientists that attack other scientists that have not accepted as mainstream science. I was losing interest at first, thinking this whole book would be nothing more than one arguement after the other against scientists that go out of their way to destroy people that dont fit into mainstream scientific research and discovery.
However, I understand why the author did this. I have seen too many scientists in all fields have their careers ruined over something they present that doesnt fit into the model of what is deemed acceptable. It has happened to countless archeologists that come forward with proof that civilization is older than the accepted model. And it goes on every day in every other field of scientific research and discovery.
As the book went on it got better. I like how the author gave background otherwise unknown to me, about scientists and people, and their discoveries.
Yet, when I got to chapter 24 I was thrown for a loop. Here the author presents an OBGYN talking about cardiology treatments. First red flag. I dont know how old the research is he is refering to. But chelation therapy has been proven NOT to be a good way to treat clogged vessels.
I let a couple of the cardiologists I work with read this chapter. One said, "this guy is dangerous", refering to the OBGYN.
EDTA, though highly toxic to humans is good for a number of things...industrial cleaning, as an oxidizing agent in photography, complexation of heavy metals during chlorine-free bleaching; stabilization of hydrogen peroxide in the paper industry, added into the borehole to inhibit mineral precipitation in the oilfield industry...get my point? Transporting a heart for transplant in it and using it on live patients to clear vessels-two different animals.
Another...page 92 has a picture of a Yogi levitating. I have seen this so many times. The "Yogi" hides the pole and platform on which he sits with his robes.
Ok, there are some red flags here. But dont let that put you off from buying this book! It is a good book. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it and refer back to it while in debate and conversation with friends. It has some wonderful chapters on physics and spiritualism. In reading this book, I have been led to well over 30 other resources and books I have added to my library.
I own Forbidden Science/History and Religion. All have their weaknesses. But the good stuff far outweighs the questionable. It has served its purpose in my life. That being, THINK! QUESTION! And dont ever accept what someone else says is truth just because they have a degree.
If you are on the fence regarding purchasing this book or not...BUY IT! You will definatley find something worth your while within its covers.
 Great Book for Open Minds September 14, 2008

If you have an open mind, love occult science, and don't get weighed down by the scientific establishment, then this book is for you. I've read all three of the Forbidden books and love them all.
This book is a bible for pseudo scientists, conspiracy freaks, and people who love to play with their paranoia.
I'm especially fond of Paul LaViolette's theories of massive technology that eclipses anything previously laid out as possible.
 The first chapter sets the tone of the entire book April 16, 2008

I was expecting a book detailing actual working science that had been suppressed. However, I found something quite different.
Chapter 1: According to the author, two men, Fleischmann and Pons, claimed to discover how to use palladium to generate something called "cold fusion". The author makes it very clear that a particular critic, named Parks, hates the idea of cold fusion. The proof that cold fusion works is that this critic quotes someone who made a mathematical error somewhere and, apparently, he can't even do basic science. Wow! I am now totally convinced that cold fusion actually works! Not. Question: What does slinging mud at an alleged critic have to do with proving that cold fusion actually works? Where are the results that cold fusion actually works? Sadly, this book doesn't have the answer.
While about half of the ideas in this book were new to me, I have encountered many other ideas in, sometimes significantly, different contexts with a credible source and a totally different explanation. While there are some valid things that will just never stand up to the deep scrutiny of mainstream science, if any of the ideas in this book have actual validity in reality, the authors did not do any of them justice. Wishful thinking, finding connections where there are none, warping existing theories and ideas to fit a particular viewpoint, conspiracy theories, photographs of unknown origins with unknown subject matter and fictional descriptions to support a claim, pointing fingers and slinging mud at detractors does not make for proof of anything.
Conclusion: If you want to just believe wildly implausible and totally unsupported claims without looking for actual proof, then this book is for you. If you want to find support of potentially valid ideas, natural processes, conspiracies, etc, then skip this book as it doesn't contain any them.
