Some of the most confronting and / or some slightly less relevant original
items have now been removed, as Dan Winter
has since the creation of casakhuan.org at least not actively engaged
himself in further plagiarism and disparagement.
However at the slightest indication of new misbehaviour, the full original
notification will again be sent to any current
Dan Winter hosts including all co-lecturers, for reasons stated above,
which so far resulted in several event cancellations.

CORRECTIVE NOTICE Stanley N. Tenen, Research director of Meru
Foundation, a California non-profit foundation, is the creator of
original "flame letter" sculptures. Mr. Tenen owns the copyrights
on these sculptures, which he has licensed to Meru Foundation. I
am not now, and never have been, an associate or colleague of Meru
Foundation or Mr. Tenen. I acknowledge Mr. Tenen’s copyrights as
valid and enforceable. There are many ways to model Mr. Tenen’s
"flame letter" sculpture on a personal computer by a spiral strip
or a line that will cast letter-form shadows. One need not use a
Golden Mean spiral to do it. Thus, the Golden Mean spiral is an
irrelevant overspecification for creating Hebrew, Arabic, Roman,
Greek, and English (or any other) letter-forms. Mr. Tenen’s legally
required notifications of my violations of his copyrights were not
harassment and I refute and apologize for having made that false
claim and for my other personal and technical untruths, personal
disparagements, and anti-Semitic characterizations. Mr.Tenen never
refused to make his works available to others who asked first and
honored his copyrights. Mr.Tenen produced copyright computer graphics
of his "flame letter" vortex sculptures in 1987, before I did. I
hold no technical or medical degrees. Mr. Tenen’s scholarly concern
for the integrity of his works is, and has been, fully warranted,
and Mr. Tenen is neither greedy, a fanatic, nor secretive, nor a
"Jewish or Hiburu priest." I regret that others have been misled
by my false claims, and I strongly encourage Mr. Vincent Bridges
my publisher, and Drunvalo Melchizadek, a/k/a/ Bernard Perona d/b/a
Flower of Life, Inc., and all others who have repeated my false
and hurtful reports, to stop doing so. I refute my misstatements
and apologize for all of this, and I request that others now pass
on, post, and report this Corrective Notice everywhere that false
reports have appeared. For further information on the "flame letter"

Email: meru1@well.com I want to be clear: I have posted this Corrective
Notice because I believe it to be the complete and simple truth.
I request that my friends support my efforts to end these matters
by scrupulously honoring and defending Mr. Tenen’s and Meru Foundation’s
copyrights and good reputation. Do not pass on and please do not

Dan
Winter's false claims on his academic backgrounds and achievements
source: http://www.danwinter.com/GermanAdvisory-English.html;
reprinted on: http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=73257
Not all those who claim to be scholars actually are. For around two
years now, in Germany, in Switzerland, and probably in other European
countries, Daniel Winter has been leading seminars in the esoteric field
on the theme of Sacred Geometry, or taking part in esoteric conferences
by giving lectures in person. Winter likes to stress his academic background,
and puts himself forward, for example, in the advance notices of his
seminars in journals, just as on his homepage, as 'Doctor of the University
of Detroit', as having formerly collaborated with IBM and the MIT Space
Laboratories, and as having worked together with Buckminster Fuller
and other famous scientists -- but absolutely none of this is true!
Winter has testified on oath in court that he possesses no kind of academic,
technical, or medical qualifications or titles, and that he discontinued
his university studies.

Letters
and evidence from Frank van den Bovenkamp (Netherlands) about
Dan Winter plagiarizing and disparaging his work

NeuroGem notes on development; Dan
Winter's illegitimate claims vs. his actual accomplishments
Frank van den Bovenkamp - www.trigunamedia.com/dw-controversy
date: nov. 10, 2010
Even though this is pretty much a frontal attack, considering
Dan Winter's reputation
when it comes to intellectual property, it would hardly add anything
worthwile to comment, but it may be illustrative for those interested
in the actual story line and backgrounds (especially who are using
it in their practice..).
Dan is obviously referring to the NeuroGem,
developed by myself. His use of the phrase "unethically stolen"
suggest that in his view there exists also such a thing as "ethical
stealing".. Here is why his claim is not just a lie, not
a double or tripple one but at least a quadruple one.
First of all, even someone with no more academic background than
Dan Winter himself (let's say the average high school kid) can
see right away that the NeuroGem is based on an entirely different
principle and other premisses than the primitive "BlissTuner"
module which he claims was completely his invention. For Dan,
to give any credibility to his claim that he is the inventor of
the NeuroGem, he should be able to:
- Produce the geometrically parametrized DFFT (Discrete Fast
Fourier Transform) formula which does the instantaneous full-spectrum,
full harmonic (i.e. scanning all harmonic ratio's) EEG analysis
(i.e. not only "Phi"..) plus its algorithmic implementation
- Produce the algorithms to translate the result into a practical
useable graph
- Produce the verifyable mathematical, numerical and empirical
evidence of general wave coherence (likewise, not just "Phi"
based)
- Produce evidence that the general theory underlying coherent
psycho-physiological related to peak experience (bliss, cognitive
clarity) states is his.
No need to mention: he cannot produce anything of this whatsoever.
The "BlissTuner" Dan is referring to, was actually an
experimental module in the "old" HeartTuner. To begin
with, there is no such thing as "we discovered, with Korotkov's
help..". Prof. Korotkov all by himself used a form of Golden
Mean (Phi) based EEG training in his project "World without
blindness" (www.korotkov.org) which he claims enabled blind
children to (empathically or telepathically) "see" random
pictures on a computer screen. Dan talked with Korotkov about
it and he or they got the idea that it could also be possible
to actually measure "Phi" in the brain. And that is
about where Dan's contribution ends. Dan forgets to mention that,
whereas we had (indirectly) been measuring "Phi" in
the heart for many years, and everyone will see the obvious here,
the thought had long settled that Phi ratio recursiveness may
be generally relevant in psycho-physiology, and especially the
biophysics of peak experience, and thus of course, in the brain.

"BlissTuner" module and NeuroGem - clearly lightyears
apart, the BlissTuner never demonstrated
sustained geometric coherence, as shown in one single NeuroGem
session above. The most
compelling feature of the NeuroGem is that it proved that the
brain is able to maintain the same
geometric state, while still notoriously switching frequencies.
Indeed, like music. This amazing
feat was never discovered in neuroscience.
Essentially, Dan's whole "invention" exists therein,
that he had talked about it with someone, Dr. Korotkov, who already
experimented with it in some form. Let's give Dan the credit,
that this may have extra encouraged a concrete next step. Korotkov
never told Dan how he actually used Phi in his experiments, and
for the rest Dan had no idea whatsoever.
The next step was developing a useable format to work with. Dan
himself suggested at one point to look at a single Phi ratio occurrence
between spectrum peaks in the alpha and beta range. However this
is not geometric recurrence, and is therefore not a true measure
of coherence. It also ignores the entire rest of the EEG spectrum.
Also Dan did not implement anything. The actual design and implementation
of the "BlissTuner" module including the biofeedback
option was entirely mine.
Realising the rudimental, and in fact inadequate format, I set
out to develop a full-spectrum, full-harmonic solution. In other
words, the approach here is not: "let's look for Phi in the
brain" (i.e. "modus ponens") but "let's geometrically
analyse the brain" and see what comes out ("modus tollens").
Moreover, the entire theoretical and mathematical background is
based on my own research, discoveries and papers, not on any of
Dan Winter (obvious enough, because there are none..). This specifically
includes first ever numerical proof of Phi (and octave and other..)
ratio coherence in heterodyne synthesis ("Fractal
Synth", free downloadable app.) and first ever "reverse-engineering"
of Golden Mean ratio in optimized heterodyne synthesis (peer
reviewed paper). Further general compelling and verifyable
evidence of geometrization in biophysics is found in my own discoveries
of the geometric origin of color
perception, and recently also that of sound.

The broader bio-physics and in fact cosmological background is
also not accredited to Dan Winter, but entirely based on P.R.
Sarkars contemporary microvita theory, especially microvita cosmology
1). This alone provides the full fledged context of wave-coherence
related to physics, physiology and psychology, and also includes
far more than only Phi recursiveness.
Conclusively at this point, it is not an overstatement that
Dan Winter's contribution to the NeuroGem does barely exceed the
fact that he has talked with prof. Korotkov about a related subject.
Back to Dan's phrase "unethical stealing".. the following
probably sketches his learning curve which he believes has made
his stealing ethical:
- First, simply start stealing others' ideas and publish them
without reference..
- Oops.. people don't like that.. well, then let's add their
names but distort the original story so that it fits my bill..
- Oops.. people still aren't entirely stupid. Allright, well
here's the ethical deal: publish their original work, undistorted
and with proper reference, and claim they actually stole it
from me (or, if no-one would ever believe that, it was "suggested"
by me..)
That sounds elegant no? Well, the saddest of all is this. Once
I gave a presentation on the NeuroGem in one of the medical faculties
here in the Netherlands, for a group of anaesthesiologists who
are also into research. There was keen interest, but the moment
I referred to Phi, the Golden Mean ratio, their team leader almost
walked out of the room. This is the result, and I can hardly blame
him. Dan Winter not only abuses others' ideas and inventions,
science in general, and his worldwide audience (authentic quote:
"they don't understand it anyway"..) but most sadly,
his own object of worship, Phi itself. Golden Mean ratio is indeed
relevant in biophysics, especially related to peak experience.
You can prove it and it has been proven in multiple ways: mathematically,
numerically, empirically (color geometry) and in biophysics (NeuroGem
and, indirectly, CardioGem). But absolutely none of this by Dan
Winter himself. His newest pet theory, Phi in hydrogen, also doesn't
stand because it is not a recursive set, and hence trivial in
respect to wave coherence in creational process, as he claims.
"I have no problem giving credit when it due, however,
Mr. Winter is simply demanding credit that is not due".
Rollin McCraty of Institute of HeartMath (source: www.danwinter.com).
Dan Winter has never been part of the development of the NeuroGem,
neither was he interested to test it and / or remain a reseller.
I offered him all of this, in writing, at multiple occasions,
but he declined, probably realising that there was not as much
to gain from it as he believed was due.
End note:
"With narcissistic personality disorder, the person's
perceived fantastic grandiosity, often coupled with a hypomanic
mood, is typically not commensurate with his or her real accomplishments.
The exploitativeness, sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, disregard
for others, and constant need for attention inherent in NPD adversely
affect interpersonal relationships".

Dozens
(and counting..) of first hand experiences and testimonials related to
Dan Winter's plagiarism and charlatanism

updated dec. 2011
Frank van den Bovenkamp
- Summary
of responses to my letter "NeuroGem notes on development; Dan
Winter's illegitimate claims vs. his actual accomplishments"
of Nov. 10, 2010 - here;
more later; updated March 31, 2011; note: these are only responses to
that letter (some wrote more times) - it does not include many more
like these received over previous years.
QUOTES:
"Dan - We don't appreciate you stealing other peoples IP. You have
a history of doing this on a repeated basis. You never seem to get it
do you? There have been documented issues of you excersing extreme charlatanism
in your seminars, CD's, etc. We as scientists do not approve of your
charlatanism and your non-scientific ways of promoting your bogus products
and ideas. You are a disgrace to the people you once befriended and
you are a disgrace to the scientific community. You seem to get an idea
in your head and think it is automatically correct without applying
scientific standards and principles in order to prove or disprove your
hypotheses. I hope that one day you will get off the junk science, stop
stealing other people's science (i.e., Frank Van den Bovencamp, Stan
Tenen, myself and others) and start to regain your reputation back.
You can start doing that once you make amends with your victims".
"OMG
those links... OMG OMG OMG " - Jason Haston, elnaschiewatch.blogspot
"As for our mutual friend, Dan, yeah he’s a bright guy and he tries
real hard, but I wish he’d drop some of his act (the parts you’re not
too pleased with) as well as some of his Flako Friends! This story of
yours clinches it: Dan is ethically challenged".
"You
did the right thing in getting your side of the story out. And.....
you’ll need to get it out more often and maybe in a bigger way to get
heard by everyone who should hear it".
"I
also have to add, Frank, to be totally honest, that your story plus
another event with Dan [..] is making me reconsider my relationship
to him".
"Between
you, myself, [..] and a whole host of other victims, we should turn
Mr. Winter into the authorities at INTERPOL. As I told [..], INTERPOL
does get involved in intellectual property crimes such as those in which
Dan Winter is involved with during most of his adult career".
"
wow...you have lot of problems to solve....wish you strength."
"This
certainly sounds like a nasty problem you are dealing with.. Am I to
assume now that you and Dan are no longer business partners?"
"I
hear you loud and clear. I have had multiple similar experiences. What
does the Neurogem cost?"
"Why
Dan is so attached to exaggerated claims of his own "EEG power
spectra for golden ratio" originality [..] I am shocked at his
blind denial of your seminal creative contributions to a JOINT BODY
of work! [..] Assuredly , you possess the incontrovertible proof of
your original intellectual property - to defend yourself from his distorted
accusations. How willfully misguided Dan appears to be, and how damaging
for his reputation and career"
"Thank
you for the notice. In my past experience with Dan Winter I agree fully
with you. Continue y o u r way with NeuroGem and it will be successfull".
"Dan
seems to attract controversy over who is developing what, as I recall
from the old Stan and Dan wars"
"Yes,
I agree. If enough people on the internet put out advisories against
DW and finally understood what he really is (a charlatan and IP crook)
then maybe we can put a dent in his activities. It would take a tremendous
effort as he has a large following already and I really don't have the
time nor stamina to deal with it. I guess he will go down by word of
mouth through internet channels".
"First
of all well said – I have worked along side Dan and had to endure his
babble far too often. I have extended the olive branch giving him many
opportunities to communicate with other scientists at different conferences
to explain in more detail his theories. He continues to be a hurt angry
and closed minded individual without ability to communicate in any other
words then a repetitive gabble using his own personal terminology".
"I got your message regarding DW and I think we should start forming
an anti-DW group. This guy just seems to take the fun out of science!"
"Good to know that you're also not insensitive to gossip and lies.
I'd never put up with it myself either!"
"I feel for what you are going through, being a kindred spirit
I am one of a growing number of souls that have had to deal with the
negative side of dealing with DW".
"You summed it up very nicely. You are very accurate in you assesment
of Dan Winter and his bad business and scientific practices".
"I have read through your material on him and its plain to see
there is a pattern with Dan that follows him wherever he goes. So it
is with some regret that I must acknowledge this behaviour. In this
light I have informed my business partners accordingly".
"I read through your pages on Dan and I am disappointed and a bit
shocked with his behaviour. In the past I have had inklings but one
tends to give the benefit of the doubt".
"..I have witnessed (and being directly affected by on a number
of occassions) a lack of integrity that has become increasingly obvious,
and which has manifested as a growing nervousness of association".
"I found Dan had a particular angle of view that did not bear challenging".
"I have found various incoherencies in what Dan Winter presents.
For which reason I would be most grateful if you could clarify for me
the principle of the NeuroGem and the geometric origin of color".
"My friend and colleague Frank van den Bovenkamp has written the
below synopsis of Dan Winter's antics in a way that is so incredibly
accurate it amazes me that someone whose primary language is not even
English can articulate so well. Frank is 100% correct in his assessment
of DW. I was originally attracted to DW's work back in 2005 when I was
interested in the Golden Ratio Phi and its significance in physics.
At that time I had seen a critical mathematical equation on Dan Winter's
website that was due to Frank's work. At that time it was hard for me
to discern whether the equation was more Dan's work or Frank's. I, of
course finally realized that it was Frank's original work that was placed
on DW's website. If I were you, I would heed these warnings from Frank
about DW and his tactics. I think a number of years ago, the Germans
were alerted to his charlatanism, plagiarism, etc. and canceled his
talks. You no longer see him going to Germany. He basically attracts
New Age types of people that are easily woo-ed by pseudo-junk-science".
"Dan wants to be the one who discovered everything. No one else
counts".
"I have worked with or been connected to most all of the usual
suspects including Dan Winter, what a clown, sorry for your troubles
with him".
"Thank you for nailing Dan for the pathetic narcissistic fraud
he is. I have stated this for many years.."
"The link with Dan Winter and the clouds of confusion
around this person turned out to be a factor we were not comfortable
with.. Now I am directly in touch with you and that gives a great relief".
