Health Ranger's Health Research Library Grows to 1200 Books; New Books Welcomed from Authors, Publishers
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) Over the last 18 months, I've been working hard on building a private research library of natural health books, and it has now become an essential research tool for stories that you'll see published here on NaturalNews. The first story using this technology was published yesterday (http://www.naturalnews.com/025495.html).
What's different about my library vs. a conventional library is that if you want to find something in a conventional library, you have to go to index of every book, find the page numbers that might mention the topic you have in mind, and then read those pages to try to find the sentence or two that mentions your topic. In the library I've created, the location of every word in every book is pre-recorded in a database, and by entering the word you're looking for, this system immediately produces a list of all the sentences containing this word across every book in the entire library.
Even better, it works with two keyword phrases as well, so if I want to find all the paragraphs that mention "heart attacks" and "statin drugs," for example, it can do that, too.
The system even conducts a linguistic analysis of the results, determining which results are more relevant, and breaking down the keywords by conceptual classification, such as anatomy, herb, substance, action, medical adjective, disease name, etc.
In essence, what I've created is the world's most useful search engine for searching a private library of books. And it was no easy task: Just buying the books alone cost more than $25,000. Writing the language analysis code took 18 months. The process of creating this whole thing is extraordinarily complex, requiring a tremendous amount of time, effort, programming language coding ability and even storage space (over 4 terabytes so far). The total cost of development is easily a six-figure number.
The advantage of all this, though, is that I can now run a linguistic analysis of any book. For example, take a look at the linguistic analysis of this book The Vitamin D Cure: http://www.naturalnews.com/book_The_Vitamin_...
On this page, you can see that the book contains 56,482 words, 1,386 keyword concepts and 15,005 occurrences of those keyword concepts. You can also see that it focuses primarily in Nutrients, followed by Anatomy, etc. This is all based on a word-for-word linguistic analysis of the book.
This linguistic profile is very different, of course, from Know Your Fats : The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol: http://www.naturalnews.com/book_Know_Your_Fa...
Reading this keyword concept profile is a lot like perusing the table of contents for a book, but in many ways even more helpful because concepts are sorted by their "keyword density" in the book.
I even used this technology to conduct linguistic analysis research that became the basis of my course The Illusion of Disease, which reveals how doctors, journalists and health authorities use linguistic brainwashing techniques to trap patients in a system of medical control.

This technology is not for sale
Since releasing the first article using this technology, I've already received requests to sell this technology. Please know this technology is not for sale.
Instead of selling it, I am expanding it, hoping to continue increasing the number of books indexed by this technology to 2,000 while expanding the topics to include green living, the environment, and books on intention and the vibrational nature of the universe (Lynn McTaggart, Bruce Lipton, Greg Bradden, etc.).
By the way, this whole system is very well protected and is not available online, so all you web hackers might as well stop hammering our web server in the hopes of finding and stealing this system. It's not located on our web server.
I wish there were a way for me to put this entire database online for free, and I even had a very early, very limited draft of some pre-rendered pages posted for some time, but in the end, it was decided that any significant portion of the content could not be posted without written permission from every single book author included in the library, and that task is virtually impossible to achieve, especially since we are such a tiny company and don't have the people power to manage such a task.
So for now, the library must stay private. It will be used to conduct research for the stories we're working on. Watch for more great research based on this technology to appear on NaturalNews.com.
