Virgil Benson Chrane was born in a small town in Texas. He grew up alternating between family homes in the San Angelo / Abilene areas and his grandparents' ranches in West Texas. He attended Texas Military Institute and San Angelo College. After studies in basic science, he earned doctorate degrees in natural health and philosophy. Dr. Chrane served in the army occupation force, after World War II, in a hospital train unit in Germany. The Early Days For many years, Dr. Chrane maintained one of the largest, best known stress reduction, health maintenance, anti-aging centers in the nation, personally seeing hundreds of people each week. He pioneered Health Radio in the 1950s, taught wellness and sensible living seminars, published and edited a health tabloid (with an over 300,000 a month press run), and authored numerous scientific papers and many health and growth related books. Dr. Chrane was widely recognized as an authority in the areas of stress release, health restoration, disease prevention, and longevity. The Transition Time In 1971, Dr. Chrane intentionally moved even beyond the suggestion of therapeutic activity. He envisioned a greater way to help others; a way grounded in non-linier dynamics and the scientific bedrock of bio-energetic physics. This time marked the completion of years of research into a unique principle and its practical application. Birth Of A Better Idea The basic concept that resulted from this research project had its beginning in the mind of Dr. Chrane's father, in the 1920s. A deep interest in this new and different research perspective was passed from father to son some 25 years later. For 16 years they worked together on what they had come to call the Better Idea. After his father's death in the early 1960s, Dr. Chrane continued this important research, and seven years later, a thoroughly tested, physics-based, holistic helping system was ready to be formally introduced. He founded Alphabiotics in 1971. A Major Step Forward Dr. Chrane's reproducible research findings have been validated in hundreds of thousands of test cases. He, as well as many others, consider Alphabiotics to be a breakthrough discovery in the evolution of consciousness and a real way to maximize human potential. His research findings and their practical application constitute a major step forward in understanding and resolving one of life's greatest challenges. Dr. Michael Douglas Chrane The leader in carrying Alphabiotics forward in the 21st century is Dr. Michael Douglas Chrane. He is well qualified for this awesome task. He had great admiration for his grandfather, the developer of the method that later evolved into the hands on process central to Alphabiotics. He witnessed and experienced daily the power of the Alphabiotic philosophy and process. In six months of opening his first Alphabiotic office, Dr. Chrane was seeing over 200 people a day. Since that time, 1975, he has continued to help large numbers of people from all walks of life. For many years he has been the Senior Professor, Department of Process Application, at the Alphabiotic Academy. He has the most experience, the best understanding, and the clearest vision of the future of Alphabiotics. |
