Throughout the ages mental poisoning of one form or another has enslaved millions of human beings and tortured the souls of men and women in all climes and conditions.

Mental poisoning has been the weapon of the earliest and most primitive human creatures. It has been the insidi-ous, invisible, undetectable instrument of torture and death in the hands of the unlearned and the learned, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, and even of those who pose as saintly beings and holy men. It has been the “means to an end” in the hands of evil-minded potentates and rulers, physicians and magicians, priests and clerics, schemers, rack-eteers, blackmailers, and pretending friends. It has been the scepter of power in the hands of self-appointed leaders of social reforms and organized plunderers.
