  1. Hi Dr Caroline Leaf,

    My name is Zvika Greenberg (age 74) from Haifa, Israel. I listened to your YouTube videos. You talked about gravitational forces and magnetic fields that affect the mind. Can you send me a pdf file to study this issue more?

  2. Blessings be to you Dr. Leaf. Many ignore the truth of a creator of the universe and everything in it. Those who do have been short-changing their lives. Even if they seem successful, their success in limited to the finite. Those who do and live according to the wisdom that God makes available to those who ask, become very successful in fulfilling the purpose for which our creator created them. Thus they give him honor and glory due him. And their success extends beyond the finite into eternity: a life with our creator the one and only God.

    Dr. Leaf, you are so right in declaring that any “Scientific” knowledge that cannot be confirmed (or goes against scriptures) is not true science. True science cannot contradict the principles of creation. Such is the theory of evolution. It will forever remain a theory because it can never be proven and its error will continue to be revealed.

    Man has been foolish, too, for wasting time to “Extend” life on earth when this is a mere passing through existence. We need to spend more time ensuring a life that is immortal. This gives the best qualityy of life in this “Passing through existence.” a life that is filled with joy and is productive. A life that contributes to making this passing through existence better for others.

    The greatest of fools and the greatest of all tragedies are those who spend their lives ignoring/denying/debunking the existence of the Creator of the Universe.

    May the Lord continue to bless you, guide you and give you the determination to stay the course you are in: showing how to determine true science from false/deceptive science.

  3. I have had 2 right-side strokes. I have 2 brain tumors and bleeding in the brain. I am a born-again christaiin have short-term memory!

  4. I have listened to clean your mess and wonder, where the Holy Spirit comes in when going through this process and what type of support does one need with childhood trauma???

  5. Parents should have Dr. Leaf’s books taught in schools. It could greatly help with the mental health problems in our schools. Thank you for all of your great books. You have taught me how to overcome my blessings.

  6. Such an inspiration. Keep it Dr. am currently pursuing a bachelor’s in social work and development studies. You just encouraged me to do more. Believe it when I say hope is lost for many, but with people like you in the world, we are good. Having read part of the passages in the perfect you’ am sure you will soon highlight us with this vaccination process they are trying to force on people. We don’t want our genetic makeup to transition by the time they will be juggling a fifth dose I pray.
