Template:Bio-notability Barry Lynes (born October 13, 1942) is an American author and astrologer who has written on topics of astrology, the environment and alternative cancer treatments. He is best known for his books on Royal Rife.
Biography
Lynes was born in Springfield, MA. From 1962 until 1965 he served in the US military. In 1967 he graduated with a major in Literature & History from Boston University. From 1968 through 1981 Lynes was a practising astrologer. In 1987, Lynes was the president of AstroAmerica Inc, a lobby group which attempted to expose suppression of astrology by authorities. During the 1980's Lynes also wrote on climate research and coverups of global cooling, publishing the newsletter The Watchers on The Horizon from an office in Washington DC.[1]
Involvement with Royal Rife
In 1986, Lynes along with John Crane, former assistant to Royal Rife and a group of investors including John Bedini incorporated as Rife Laboratories Inc. Lynes began publishing on the topic of alternative cancer treatments in Cover Up, a regular newsletter as well as a growing number of books on the topic of Royal Rife. The Cancer Cure That Worked! was published in 1987 based on Lynes interviews with Crane.
After a dispute over ownership of a Rife microscope, John Crane filed a lawsuit on April 19, 1988 in the Superior Court of California against Lynes and other investors claiming they had conspired to steal the microscope from him.
Criticism
The American Cancer Society described Lynes' claims as implausible, noting that The Cancer Cure That Worked! is written "in a style typical of conspiratorial theorists."[2]
