HEART DISEASE: CASES

CHAPTER IX. HEART DISEASE: CASES

Although, as Mr. Ellis Barker encouragingly writes, patients with valvular disease of the heart can, with care and a well‐balanced diet, live even till 90, yet the disease as such is said to be incurable. Nevertheless, by means of urine‐therapy this distressing condition can

be completely cured. The following case‐history is instructive. Mr. P. (middle‐aged). He had not only been under the doctor for a year

suffering from valvular disease of the heart, but was about to undergo an evploratory operation for a suspicious lump in the region of the solar plexus. Very often he had fainted in the street and had been carried into the nearest chemist shop, where he had been fortified by drug tablets which he always carried in his pocket. On his clothing was a tab instructing people what to do when he was overtaken by an attack. Latterly he had suffered from these attacks so frequently, that he came to be known in the vicinity as "Poor Mr. P." He had been placed cn a regime which consisted of his only being allowed one meal per day for five days of the week, whilst over week‐ends he was ordered to fast on water only. No exercise was permitted except a short, gentle walk. Smoking was prohibited, and as for medicaments, he was only to have the drug‐tablets during an actual attack.

Such was the position when he came into my hands. The first thing I urged him to do was to drink the urine he passed. As I

expected, this proved to be very odorous and turgid at first, but soon expected, this proved to be very odorous and turgid at first, but soon

be rubbed in the same manner. He did not enter the Nursing Home for observation or the exploratory operation. With regard to food, he was allowed to eat once a day, but only such foods as I advocated. After one month of treatment, he was so far i mproved that he was able to return to business. In twelve weeks he registered complete health, and no sign either of the valvular disease of the heart or the suspicious l ump in the solar plexus remained; a fact which his doctor cheerfully and ungrudgingly admitted. Not once since the day Mr. P. began the treatment did he have a heart attack, and so little did he fear a recurrence that he consigned his drug tablets to the flames!

Should it be supposed that I am the only one who practises urine‐ therapy with success, the following casehistory will serve to contravene the assumption.

Mr. R. Heart disease with dropsy. Feet, legs and abdomen greatly swollen. Heart much dilated. Doctor took a very serious view of the case, and gave the patient only a month to live. He was then induced to try treatment in a well‐known Naturopathic Establishment. The treatment, however, proved so unsuccessful and the patient was in such a critical condition that he was requested to leave; seeing that he was expected to die within a fortnight. Mr. R. then heard of the courageous Naturopath, Mr. Oliver Warnock‐Fielden, of Harrow who Mr. R. Heart disease with dropsy. Feet, legs and abdomen greatly swollen. Heart much dilated.

I may here add a word to this chapter relative to what has been pronounced to be one of the causes of heart disease it modern times, viz., serums and vaccines. According to Dr. Benchetrit these measures "are principally responsible for the increase of these two really dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease." The doctor adds: "I have been for a long time a serologist and I know what I am talking about." Dr. Benchetrit is by no means the only doctor to criticise the practice of employing harmful preventatives (or alleged to be preventatives) against acute infectious disease. Dr. S. S. Goldwater, New York Commissioner of Hospitals, pointed out in The Modern Hospital Magazine that measures used to check contagious diseases may permit of longer (?) life but not of stronger life. "Chronic diseases, " he adds, "are growing at such a rate that America may become a nation of invalids. More than half the hospitalbeds in the United States to ‐day are occupied by sufferers from chronic mental and physical diseases. Middle‐aged and elderly persons are not the only sufferers; I may here add a word to this chapter relative to what has been pronounced to be one of the causes of heart disease it modern times, viz., serums and vaccines.

One may ask, if sera and vaccines are liable eventually to produce heart ‐disease and other chronic serious ailments, why then are they boosted by the B.M.A.? For, first of all, as Dr. Alfred Pulford, M.D., has tersely remarked: " Any one who can prevent an occurrence positively that he does not know is bound to occur is indeed a seventh day wonder "; and secondly certain renowned bigwigs in the Medical Profession have demonstrated that the most " deadly " germs are harmless in a healthy body. We read that " Prof. Metchnikoff said he found the bacilli of Asiatic cholera in the waters of many to alities, but no epidemic or plague or disease was ever known to be at any of these places before or after his findings… Prof. Tentenkoffer swallowed several million germs of the deadly (?) Asiatic cholera… Nothing happened. To verify the test, Prof. Emmrich made a culture from the intestines of newly dead victims of the disease, and swallowed millions of germs, with no noticeable results! To test even more thoroughly, and in far more frightful conditions, Dr. Thomas Powell allowed the germs of seven deadly (?) diseases to be shot i nto his blood‐stream‐and was as alive ten years later as on that day, and as healthy." (Extract from Naturopath and Herald of Health) Nevertheless these facts are not made known to the general public, nor do those who urge members of the community to be immunized against this or that disease inform them that not all doctors are in favour of such measures, being of the opinion that vaccines and serums may later on produce chronic afflictions, not the least of which is heart disease.
