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" contact: Meru Foundation PO Box 503 Sharon, MA 02067 Internet: http://www.meru.org 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 make any further copies or derivations of the "flame letter" vortex and alphabet forms or their derivatives. Date 7/28/98

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.

"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".

Magpie or "McPhi"..? Sure enough,
the real one has no idea..

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".
