Vol. 16: Non-Violent Destruction of the Atom
The first in the series of "The Betty Story" correspondence from Hans Nintzel was dated November 11, 1984. His
summaries and additional correspondence from other practicing alchemists soon followed, with Hans acting as the communications facilitator. Hans called this "The Betty Story," named after the
lady in California who brought the experiments to his attention.
The documents detail an odd pulsating alcohol experiment that some alchemists called the non-violent
destruction of the atom. This book contains transcripts of that written material. Everything pertinent to the experiments and discussions is included.
This is truly a chronicle of modern alchemists performing and analyzing alchemical processes. This second
edition contains added documents that have never before been available to the public.

The Betty Story, Nov. 17, 1984
Hans Nintzel
In the summer of 1984 I called Taylor’s Herb shop in Vista and spoke to Keith Taylor about live Celandine herbs. He asked why I wanted them and I explained I was doing some alchemical experiments. He said, “You make the second alchemist I have run into.” Naturally I wanted to know who the other was. It was a lady named Betty who lived in San Diego. I called her and we spoke for many hours.
I learned she had been a newspaper reporter sent to do a story on a Dr. Lionel Strong, a cancer researcher. He had developed an anticancer serum from liver nucleosides. Dr. Strong was a member of the Baconion Society (he could decipher the Bacon ciphers) and an alchemist. Betty became interested in both subjects: Bacon and alchemy. Strong showed her some things, especially an experiment he called the non-violent destruction of the atom. When he succeeded in doing this, he was so excited he suffered a fatal heart—attack. Betty decided to drop her journalistic career and become an alchemist.
