The first book of its kind, THE ROPEWORM PROTOCOL BIBLE holds nothing back as it exhaustively explores the history of the human ropeworm known as the "Old Man in the Gut", and the scientific investigations proving its existence despite continual medical industry denial and cover-up. In an engaging combination of history, personal experiences and anecdotes, science and texts dating to before the Denisovian cataclysm and the fall of Atlantis, readers learn what the actual cause of trauma, disease and premature death is, who is responsible for it, and what they can do to remove the ropeworm - and other parasites - from the body. In doing so, they remove the scales from their eyes. No book has ever been more timely, and now is the time to begin. The body is the Temple where the spirit resides and the soul is shaped, and from where we must each choose our ultimate and eternal address.
