It has been 20 years since I did my basic research on the rh-negative blood thesis. My article, "THE BLOOD OF THE GODS" was published in Official UFO's "Ancient Astronaut's Magazine" in October, 1976.  My follow-up article, "ARE THE UFO'S LOOKING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE RH NEGATIVE BLOOD" was published in OFFICIAL UFO MAGAZINE in 1977.

Shortly after the publication of my second article and about 5 chapters into my book, "THE BLOOD OF THE GODS", my common-law husband, who was an alcoholic at that time, started to become violent with me.  I had 6 children with me at the time, the youngest was his daughter. I had to get out of that situation and become self-supportive, pulling 6 children with me.

At that time, my sister Bonnie and I had been producing a monthly newsletter called ICHOR (ICHOR means blood of the gods).  The newsletter was in response to the thousands of letters I received after my articles were published.  There was no way I could answer all the letters individually, there were too many.  The TV Guide of Mexico, Tele Guia, published 2 full page articles about my research written by Pedro Feriz. I then got thousands of letters from Mexico, in spanish.  I don't speak or read spanish.  I did learn to decipher some words. I had our newsletter translated into spanish to send to these people.

Along with our newsletter, we sent a genetic questionnaire as part of my research.  It included things like: Do you have high or low blood pressure?; Any psychic abilities?; Any notable high Intelligence?; Any left-handed family members?; Do fleas bit you?  (parasites are species specific).

We had started exchanging newsletters with other UFO and New Age groups from around the world.  My daughter's father said I was gathering all the weirdos of the world.

I decided to study to try to pass the California State real estate salesman's license.  I had no knowledge of real estate laws.  When we had purchased the house we were living in, I had to find it myself and then have the Realtor do the paperwork.  This sorry excuse for a Realtor had the gaul to tell me that he could get us a better price on the house if I slept with him.  I figured that if he was an example of what Realtors were like, I should do pretty good as a salesman. (salesman was generic at that time before the politically correct salesperson came into being)

I was told it would take from 4 to 6 weeks to get a test date for the exam.  I started studying a book that had sample question along with the answers the same day that I mailed the application for the exam.  As luck would have it my test date was scheduled for just 4 weeks from the day I mailed it.  I really had to cram for the exam.
