Corwin Samuel West

Corwin Samuel West (November 27, 1932 - 2004) was an American lymphologist.
He was born in Lakeside, Arizona. He was the youngest of seven children. At the young age of sixteen he was run over by a dump truck while riding his motor scooter and nearly had his left leg amputated.
He met his wife, Johna May Nielson, in Chandler, Arizona, and they were later married on November 10, 1955 in the LDS Mesa Arizona Temple. With four children, he went back to school part-time and later, with six children, full-time to begin his pre-med and biochemistry background in 1969. He then taught chemistry for seven years at the Westwood High School in Mesa. Later, he obtained a Master's degree in public school administration from the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1972. He received the degree of Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine in 1980 from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Mesa. Ezra Taft Benson (former Secretary of Agriculture) and Dr. John Nash Ott (John Ott) were both keynote speakers at his graduation ceremony. He received a Doctor of Naprapathy degree from the American College of Natural Healing Sciences in 1974.
West was therefore a Naturopath and a Naprapath so teaching chemistry during the day, he established an afternoon and evening clinic, where he treated patients who were suffering with pain at the Naprapathic Clinic of Mesa for two years.
In the early part of 1974, while teaching chemistry, he learned that the blood proteins (namely albumin, globulin and fibrinogen) can escape from the blood stream through the tiny capillary pores, and in so doing they seep into the spaces found in between the cells; essentially going from a plasma constituent to an extra-cellular fluid constituent. This process is now known as net-filtration. According to Arthur C. Guytons 5th Edition Textbook of Medical Physiology, this process was capable of producing the conditions at the cell level that can cause death in just a few hours if not for the prompt retrieval of these fluid particulates by the lymphatic system. So West perceived that this research was the key to the process by which degenerative diseases might occur.
In 1976, West realized that there is a pump in every cell that actually generates electricity after reading an article entitled "Electricity In Plants" by Bruce Scott out of an issue of Scientific American. He immediately perceived that the function of the entire body was dependent upon each cell being able to generate these electrical properties. He then developed a special method of activating the lymphatic system while simultaneously utilizing what he referred to as an "armature affect" wherein the motion of a body up and down through the earth's magnetic field could be used to magnify energy in the body and thereby disassociate "trapped plasma proteins" bio-electrically. He called The Bio-Electric Gentle Bounce for Health and what he also called "other bio-electric lymphasizing techniques" and going on to announce "these methods enable people to relieve their own pain, speed up the healing process, and therefore to help reverse injury and disease."
By 1977, West and his wife had begun raising the last of ten children.
In 1979, he was accepted as the 379th member of the International Society of Lymphology (ISL); the first non-medical doctor to become a member of that group, and subsequently was able to give five presentations over the course of several years at these medical congresses. He would end up lecturing in five to six cities per week on a "no charge basis" for at least seventeen years teaching what he deemed to be "Seven Major Discoveries" related to the life process, the death process, and the healing process at the cell level.
In 1980, West wrote a 31-step equation he titled the "Formula for Life and Death at the Cell Level", based on the blood-protein research which he had learned at that time for the purpose of validating and emphasizing the role of the lymphatic system and its overall importance in effectuation for the sake of preventing, eliminating and if possible even reversing pain, degenerative disease, and premature death. He then founded the International Academy of Lymphology for the purpose of educating the general public, and produced a book entitled The Golden Seven Plus One. There are now hundreds of recorded presentations on audio or video, and many other manuscripts produced as a result of his work.
In 1984, he began to struggle against some legal proceedings of the IRS. His children recall many nights when he stayed awake typing his responses to letters he had received from this privately owned entity. By 1995 West began to stay home more often to finish raising his family and defend himself from the IRS legal suits.
Then on April 29, 2004 he gave his first and last oral argument in Judge Alba's Court room in Salt Lake City. Immediately following the heel of his foot was caught at the base of the railing as he began to lean on it. The railing was not secured to the floor, and West fell and hit his head on the foot of the bench located to his rear. His scalp required four staples to stitch it together where he had been injured. Within four days, he suffered a major stroke in his sleep, was partially paralyzed and submitted to Utah Valley Hospital in Provo. During the course of his ordeal West was experimented on with artificial blood and subjected to every standard method or protocol of today's medical system that he had ironically spent his life preaching against and lasted over four months before he died.
After he died the courts ruled against West in favor of the IRS for the full amount that had been assessed using guidelines that can be automatically imposed on anyone who refuses to file a tax return.
His legacy in regards to natural health care lives on through the International Academy of Lymphology (currently presided over by his son Karl) that he founded, Clarity University (founded and owned by his son Stephen), Mindset Influence (youngest son Daniel) and numerous numbers of his students.
