The following was sent to us here at KeelyNet in the form of a
|
|
photocopied paper with very fine print. It follows what we believe,
|
|
that most complicated systems or problems result from what are
|
|
essentially simple, easily correctable problems. This holds true
|
|
for medical, health, free energy, anti-grav and the host of subjects
|
|
that interest us here at KeelyNet. In science, this is called
|
|
reductionism, reducing things down to their most basic form. We
|
|
urge you to pass this file along to medical practitioners and others
|
|
interested in the base causes of disease.

HCL (dilute Hydrochloric Acid) Therapy
|
|
author unknown
|
|
|
|
In general terms it could be said that the response of a sick
|
|
individual to accept the therapeutic measures whether they be
|
|
serums, vaccines, X-ray, radium, surgery, intravenous medications,
|
|
blood transfusions, glandular therapies, re-mineralization, vitamin
|
|
therapies, hyperpyrexias, refrigeration, osteopathic or chiropractic
|
|
manipulations, the new wonder drugs, and so forth, the best we could
|
|
say of those is that they are of a hit or miss proposition.
|
|
|
|
To date, no branch of the healing arts has as yet found a logical or
|
|
truly scientific basis on which to study the cause or treatment of
|
|
functional chronic or degenerative disease. The practitioner
|
|
frustrated by lack of satisfactory physical and mental response
|
|
among chronic patients has been skimping in his efforts to
|
|
rehabilitate them. However, he can and does justify his mere
|
|
routine consideration with the thought that the acutely ill need all
|
|
of his time and attention and that the chronics whom he generally
|
|
dismisses as hypochondriacs will manage somehow to get along. This
|
|
attitude for sometime has deeply concerned both medical and public
|
|
health men who are in a position to know the facts. Why is there
|
|
this appalling and utter disregard for treatment of the chronic
|
|
patient?
|
|
|
|
The medical man claims dogmatically, "I am the true physician and
|
|
mine is the correct approach of therapeusis." However, major
|
|
aspects of the general public are continually faced with incompetent
|
|
diagnosis such as just plain nerves, or neurasthenia, or nervous
|
|
digestion, or exhaustion of nervous energy, or nervous dyspepsia, or
|
|
nervous stomach, or hypochondriasis, or psychoneurosis, of essential
|
|
hypertension, or general asthenia, or imaginitis, and let it go at
|
|
that. There is no question but that American medicine and its
|
|
allied healing arts have utterly failed in their mission. We have
|
|
|
|
Page 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for some reason allowed our medical practice to lag at least 50
|
|
years behind the times and are not only content with, but are
|
|
insisting upon, the same old unnatural therapeutic approaches to the
|
|
chronic disorders of age. Adequate medical care, the traditional
|
|
American dream is not even obtainable by the very rich!
|
|
|
|
We must attribute this failure to the fact that in the study of
|
|
chronic and degenerative disease, for too long a time, medical
|
|
science has passionately and blindly concerned itself with the study
|
|
of end results without due consideration of first, the manner in
|
|
which your health comes about, and second, the physiological
|
|
alterations that are occasioned long before tissue pathology sets in
|
|
and thirdly, the environmental conditions which have contributed to
|
|
its development and fourthly, that the disease is not a separate
|
|
entity or process all by itself but rather that it effects and is
|
|
effected in turn by the organism as a whole.
|
|
|
|
The pathological anatomy, the visible or palpable changes in the
|
|
structure that is found in the organs and tissues of the body was,
|
|
and still is, the foundation of practice of those who have not kept
|
|
abreast of the changes that modern science has brought about. And
|
|
yet there is a basic phenomenon which occurs over and over again in
|
|
the practice lives of physicians and healers. Every practitioner at
|
|
one time or another has seen or heard about one or more persons ill
|
|
with an acute disease hopelessly beyond human aid or of others
|
|
afflicted with an incurable chronic disease to have been able in
|
|
some inexplicable manner to reverse the vital processess of injury
|
|
and repair, action and reaction so that the body having acquired
|
|
natural immunity, or shall we say having increased the body's
|
|
resistance, there results an increasing cellular or tissue reaction
|
|
followed by destruction of the invader, restoration of balance,
|
|
repair of all injured and diseased tissues and a seemingly
|
|
miraculous recovery takes place.
|
|
|
|
As yet no one has come forward with an intelligent explanation
|
|
except to call them spontaneous recoveries, or better yet MIRACLES.
|
|
|
|
In search for a remedy that would stimulate the reticulo-endothelial
|
|
systems of the body, I performed a number of experiments. One
|
|
experiment was to introduce a number of substances under the cover-
|
|
glass slip of the microscope slide while observing the red, white,
|
|
and bacterial cells under dark field microscopy.
|
|
|
|
I experimented with serial dilutions of EDTA as a chelator and
|
|
hydrochloric acid (HCL) as a reducer. Once I had the dilutions down
|
|
to the point where red cell damage did not occur visibly I made the
|
|
discovery that I was looking for.
|
|
|
|
Two things were obvious by direct vision of the infected human blood
|
|
before my eyes:
|
|
|
|
1) The EDTA dissolved the bacteria.
|
|
2) The hydrochloric acid increased the activity of the white
|
|
blood cell.
|
|
|
|
The white cell observation was astounding and led me to a search of
|
|
the worlds literature on the use of hydrochloric acid in the human
|
|
body. The reports that came in were old but fascinating, I had no
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alternative but to begin to give myself the treatment and watch the
|
|
changes in my own blood.
|
|
|
|
A number of excellent reports were made by Drs. B. Ferguson, W.B.
|
|
Guy, I. Howell, W.G. Brymer, M.A. Craig, A.M. Allen, F.J. James,
|
|
O.P. Sweatt, R.L. Sills and E.D. Jackson, and perhaps the largest
|
|
concentration to the world's literature was by R.R. Garcia.
|
|
|
|
It was on the strength of their efforts and the years of clinical
|
|
work done by my mentor Dr. Black that I made this profound
|
|
discovery.
|
|
|
|
When hydrochloric acid is injected into the body in very dilute,
|
|
physiologic amounts, the white blood cell systems increase their
|
|
activity, the blood pH returns to normal regardless of whether it is
|
|
too acid or too alkaline and the number of white cells increase.
|
|
|
|
What follows are some random thoughts on this subject.
|
|
|
|
The most obvious clinical observation in the treatment of an acute
|
|
infectious disease with the use of hydrochloric acid is that a
|
|
greater phagocytic activity is imparted to the white cells by the
|
|
injection of the dilute solution of hydrochloric acid into the
|
|
bloodstream, and that the activity varies in intensity with
|
|
different individuals. It proved to be a very important factor in
|
|
the improvement of the state of resistance of the organism.
|
|
|
|
Leukocytes and phagocytosis, important as they are, are but a link
|
|
in a chain of events of its defense mechanism to combat disease,
|
|
whether it be acute, chronic or degenerative. As part of the
|
|
natural mechanism of defense and repair we can make several
|
|
observations in the acute disease. The body must marshall all of
|
|
the forces of the defensive mechanism in order to sustain the
|
|
successful struggle in the favorable cases. The unfavorable
|
|
conditions are increasing injury and diminishing reaction. These
|
|
must be changed to increasing reaction and diminishing injury with
|
|
destruction and ultimate repair of the injured and diseased tissue.
|
|
|
|
In order to accomplish this effectively there must take place an
|
|
adequate febrile reaction to bring about attenuation of the invading
|
|
pathogenic microorganisms, rapid elimination of accumulated
|
|
bacterial and normal production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
|
|
There must be an increased presence in the bloodstream as the acid
|
|
responsible for the maintenance of a normal pH. Obviously in the
|
|
treatment of any disease process we must do away with all
|
|
predisposing conditions such as malnutrition and local infection.
|
|
We must bring about elimination of all accumulated bacterial and
|
|
metabolic poisons. There must take place restoration of tissue
|
|
susceptibility, the production of hydrochloric acid whether too
|
|
much, or too little, or none at all, and its presence in the
|
|
bloodstream must be restored to normal. In other words a
|
|
physiological balance must be restored. It is reasonable to believe
|
|
that the acid-base balance of the blood is maintained through the
|
|
acid cells and since hydrochloric acid is the only inorganic acid
|
|
normally made in the body and that it is to this acid specifically
|
|
that we must attribute the apparent acidic response of the white
|
|
cells. When this condition of physiologic balance exists the
|
|
individual is in the state of absolute immunity. He is in good
|
|
health and in the possession of a normal pH in the bloodstream and
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other fluids in the body. The normal pH in itself is what could
|
|
constitute what is generally known as a natural immunity. Certain
|
|
organs and tissues possess an ability to modify their own immunity
|
|
make up or local defense mechanism. These seem to be governed by a
|
|
normal production of HCL in the stomach and a normal pH in the
|
|
bloodstream. Consider continuity of the skin covering, with its
|
|
acid mantle, the acidity of the stomach contents, the defense
|
|
mechanisms within the nasal passages, the secretions and linings of
|
|
the eyes, mouth, intestinal tract, female and male genital urinary
|
|
tracts, and at times the presence of specific immunity.
|
|
|
|
It is well known that practically everyone is harboring at various
|
|
times in the membranes of the throat, mouth and nasal tract the
|
|
germs of influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, croop, measles, mumps
|
|
and other contagions without becoming a victim of the disease
|
|
itself. It is also known that in order that infection shall develop
|
|
it is not only necessary that the bacteria grow in the tissues but
|
|
it is necessary that they injure the tissue and thus induce the
|
|
reaction of disease. This they do at times by producing injurious
|
|
substances in sufficient quantities, that is, bacterial forms.
|
|
|
|
The presence of a normal production of hydrochloric acid and its
|
|
presence in the bloodstream and other fluids of the body is the
|
|
agent responsible for the acidity of the white cells and the
|
|
maintenance of a normal pH. It is the agent that renders the fluids
|
|
and tissues of the body bactericidal and unfavorable as a media.
|
|
The more the white cells are maintained in a phagocytic state the
|
|
better is the natural immunity.
|
|
|
|
(HCL and EDTA have both been used with DMSO to get these
|
|
substances in the blood stream without the usual shots.
|
|
DMSO can often be obtained in Health Food storeas and Vet
|
|
Suppliers. Diluted with 50% sterile water some treat
|
|
themselves..... Such treatment CANNOT BE CONDONED of course,
|
|
and any medical problems are best taken care of by private
|
|
physicians....G)
|
|
|
|
An infection can go in only so many ways. It can either be aborted,
|
|
arrested, or carried on a successful termination. In the treatment
|
|
of all functional metabolic, endocrine, allergic, chronic and
|
|
degenerative disease, once the production of hydrochloric acid
|
|
becomes restored to normal there takes place a restoration of the
|
|
normal acid base balance, reversal of the vital processes, followed
|
|
by repair of all injured and diseased tissues with restoration of
|
|
good health. When the production of hydrochloric acid falls short,
|
|
a fact easily demonstrable by laboratory techniques and which may be
|
|
observed to take place at birth or at any time during our natural
|
|
expanse of life, the conditions of hyper-chlorhydria, hypo-
|
|
chlorhydria or achlorhydria take place. This deficiency in
|
|
hydrochloric acid production may be temporary or permanent in
|
|
character, and may be brought about by one or more predisposing
|
|
factors such as malnutrition, focal infection, chronic poisoning,
|
|
exposure, fatigue, emotional distress, shock and so forth.
|
|
|
|
A better understanding of the concept of disease and immunity can be
|
|
had by evaluating a few of the things that we are known about
|
|
immunity. First of all, antibodies are specific as the organisms
|
|
which have called them into existence. Second, the bactericidal
|
|
power manifested by blood serum of man or animal toward all
|
|
|
|
Page 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
microorganisms outside the body is not dependent on the presence or
|
|
absence of specific antibodies. Thirdly, the presence of immune
|
|
bodies does not convey absolute immunity against a specific disease
|
|
and fourth, when invasion takes place and the reactions of disease
|
|
manifest, the disease may be mild although not infrequently may be
|
|
severe irrespective of the presence or absence of immune bodies.
|
|
The question that follows is how can we explain the inherent value
|
|
of specific immunity and the manner in which it affords protection?
|
|
Why does this protection fail so frequently? It is possible that
|
|
the it comes into play only when the latter has failed to prevent
|
|
invasion? The leukocytes, or the white blood cells, are factors
|
|
which aid or supplement the natural immunity. At times, however,
|
|
when the virulence of the invading pathogen and the influx of toxins
|
|
into the bloodstream is of such a preponderant nature, the immune
|
|
bodies become overpowered. The excess toxins not only paralyze or
|
|
shock the white cells into inactivity but they also bring about
|
|
tissue injury and the resultant reactions of disease. Many times in
|
|
doing dark field microscopy of individual's blood, I have found
|
|
massive accumulations of L-form bacteria and yet the white blood
|
|
cells are completely dormant, non-motile, non-phagocytic and huddled
|
|
up in a little ball doing nothing.
|
|
|
|
Good health and the presence of absolute immunity depend on the
|
|
existence of a normal production of hydrochloric acid and its
|
|
presence in the bloodstream and other fluids of the body. When the
|
|
HCL production falls short, and a progressive diminution takes
|
|
place, we find a loss of absolute immunity, a decreasing degree of
|
|
tissue susceptibility, an imbalance of blood chemistry, and poor
|
|
digestion and assimilation. This is the starting point of general
|
|
ill-health and malnutrition. It is a logical assumption that a lack
|
|
of sufficient minerals in the daily diet must of necessity give rise
|
|
to a deficiency in the hydrochloric acid production. It is known
|
|
that certain salts, such as potassium, are needed by the glands
|
|
responsible for its production.
|
|
|
|
It is also known that when the hydrochloric acid production falls
|
|
short the required amount necessary to maintain the acidity of the
|
|
white cells and the acid-base balance becomes insufficient and
|
|
hydrogen chloride eventually vanishes from the circulation. When
|
|
hydrogen chloride disappears from the circulation some other acid
|
|
must take its place immediately in order to maintain the pH of the
|
|
circulating fluids. The acid wastes assume the role of hydrogen
|
|
chloride in the blood chemistry. This is followed by an imbalance
|
|
of the blood chemistry.
|
|
|
|
The acid wastes can not be thrown off as quickly as they are formed
|
|
so they begin to accumulate in the fluids and tissues of the body
|
|
with the resultant struggle between these and the alkaline reserve.
|
|
The result is a depletion of the latter.
|
|
|
|
Functional disorders of a metabolic, endocrine and allergic nature
|
|
and the condition of acidosis become manifest. The person loses his
|
|
natural immunity and is highly prone to develop focal infection
|
|
followed by acute disease. In this depleted condition they lack the
|
|
necessary reserve to destroy the invading microorganisms completely.
|
|
|
|
It has been well established that in all cases of malnutrition the
|
|
condition of acidosis is always present. There follows a reduction
|
|
of physiologic functions and the EVER INCREASING accumulation of
|
|
|
|
Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
acid metabolic wastes in the bloodstream. The hydrogen chloride
|
|
production becomes diminished. The hydrogen ions necessary for the
|
|
maintenance of a normal pH fall short and sooner or later
|
|
hydrochloric acid is replaced by the waste acids in the maintenance
|
|
of the acid base balance. These acid wastes include carbonic acid,
|
|
diacetic acid, lactic acid, acetic acids, fatty acids, uric acid,
|
|
etc. These acid wastes however, are abnormal constituents of the
|
|
bloodstream and will act as a disruptor of the natural blood
|
|
chemistry.
|
|
|
|
When hydrochloric acid vanishes from the circulation hypersecretion
|
|
of hydrochloric acid takes place in the gastric cells responsible
|
|
for its production. A condition known as hyperchlorhydria
|
|
supervenes. The excessive secretion of hydrogen chloride is but an
|
|
effort on the part of nature to restore its presence in the
|
|
bloodstream by sheer force of numbers. Sooner or later however, the
|
|
gastric cells begin to tire and the component chemistry begin to
|
|
dwindle. Thus the production of hydrogen chloride begins to fall
|
|
short. Focal infection pours a continuous stream of bacterial
|
|
poisons into the blood stream bringing about a diminution and
|
|
ultimately a disappearance of hydrogen chloride from the circulation
|
|
with a resultant loss of phagocytic activity. There then follows an
|
|
extension of the primary focus to one or more parts of the body
|
|
creating newer disease processes and newer foci of infection and the
|
|
probability of a chrnoic poisoning such as lead, arsenic, monoxide
|
|
gas, narcotics, alcohol, and so accumulation of the absorbed poisons
|
|
plus the acid metabolic wastes causes a resultant condition of
|
|
acidemia. There follows a deficiency of HCL production,
|
|
malnutrition, loss of tissue susceptibility and thus the general
|
|
causation formulation that leads to the chronic and degenerative
|
|
disease. Recent studies in Germany and in this country demonstrate
|
|
that cancer, diabetes, acute infection, neurosis, passive
|
|
congestions, gastric catarrh, severe anemia, arteriosclerosis,
|
|
hypertension, chemical poisoning, affections of the heart,
|
|
neoplastic growths, metabolic and endocrine disorders, senile
|
|
insanities, dyspepsia, chronic ulcers of the stomach and duodenum,
|
|
cholecystitis, appendicitis, duodenitis, worry, anxiety and pyloric
|
|
obstruction show pronounced changes in the hydrochloric acid
|
|
production. Too much, too little or none at all.
|
|
|
|
Statistical surveys have been made of the gastric acidity of
|
|
patients of all ages and it was found that 25-30% of those over the
|
|
age of 45 showed no free or combined hydrochloric acid. The
|
|
incidence of achlorhydria in the whole series of more than 3,000
|
|
patients examined was more than 10%. We know that pepsin is
|
|
inactive unless a considerable amount of hydrochloric acid is
|
|
present. We also know that very few bacteria can survive the acid
|
|
conditions in the stomach and that the gastric juice partially
|
|
sterilizes the food preventing putrifaction during the gastric phase
|
|
of digestion. Without acid in the stomach the benefit of this
|
|
action is not obtained.
|
|
|
|
Let us consider the protective agencies of the animal organism but
|
|
instead of talking about antibodies, vaccines, antitoxins, immunity
|
|
of the blood, dietary regimens, etc. let us go to rock bottom and
|
|
consider the very essential mineral elements of which our body is
|
|
composed. It is generally believed that organic life began in the
|
|
saline ocean many eons ago and that the chemical formula of that
|
|
ocean, of the blood serum, and the temperature of the body have not
|
|
|
|
Page 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
changed materially since that time. That the ocean is generally
|
|
always free from corruption no matter how many of its animals die
|
|
within it, is probably due to its chlorine content. Chlorine
|
|
related not only to sodium chloride but also to the chlorides of
|
|
magnesium, calcium, and other minerals present.
|
|
|
|
Let us study the part that chlorine plays in the digestion of food
|
|
and its absorption into the body tissues. Chlorine may be found
|
|
free as hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice or combined with
|
|
albumin in albuminosis or it may be found united with sodium chiefly
|
|
in the fluids of the body and with potassium in the solids.
|
|
Potassium was also found as a chloride by preference in
|
|
morphological elements like blood corpuscles, muscle cells, etc.
|
|
Calcium chloride is found in the gastric juice as a secondary
|
|
product. Hydrochloric acid favors the excretion of calcium
|
|
phosphates.
|
|
|
|
The normal gastric juice in man contains some two to three parts of
|
|
hydrochloric acid per thousand. In healthy dogs five parts is
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
It is curious that a healthy dog can eat septic meat and if its
|
|
stomach is opened one half hour later the foul odor of the meat will
|
|
be found sterile. The acidity and the germicidal quality of the
|
|
chorides perform this action. Too often; however acidity of the
|
|
stomach is not due to an excess of hydrochloric acid but rather to
|
|
an excess of lactic acid and if content of the stomach is alkaline,
|
|
oxibuteric, diacetic and other acids due to putrefaction processes
|
|
are present. What is true of lactic acid is also true of the other
|
|
organic acids such as butyric, formic, and acetic, all of which are
|
|
especially abundant where there is stagnation of gastric contents
|
|
due to pyloric obstruction. Hydrochloric acid is the ONLY normal
|
|
inorganic acid in the body's economy. All other acids such as
|
|
lactic, carbonic, uric, etc. are WASTE PRODUCTS eliminated as
|
|
quickly as possible. The normal acid would be the most likely one
|
|
to accomplish this end.
|
|
|
|
If we have too great an excess of carbonic acid we have COMA, as in
|
|
diabetes or later stages of pneumonia.
|
|
|
|
If the uric acid is too high we have deposits in the valves, the
|
|
arteries and articular surfaces.
|
|
|
|
When the hydrochloric acid content of the gastric juice is deficient
|
|
or absent we must expect grave results which will inevitably appear
|
|
in the human metabolism.
|
|
|
|
First of all we shall see an increasing and gradual starvation of
|
|
the mineral elements in the food supply. The food will be
|
|
incompletely digested and failure of assimilation must occur.
|
|
|
|
Secondly, a septic process of the tissues will appear, pyorrhea,
|
|
dyspepsia, nephritis, appendicitis, boils, abscesses, pneumonia,
|
|
etc. will become increasingly manifest. Again a normal gastric
|
|
fluid demands activity of the gallbladder contents and of the
|
|
pancreas for neutralization. Deficiency of normal acids leads to a
|
|
stagnation of these organs, leading to diabetes and gallstones.
|
|
|
|
In the absence of or in a great deficiency of hydrochloric acid we
|
|
|
|
Page 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find a rise in the multitudinous degenerative reaction which
|
|
prepares the way to all forms of degenerative disease. What then
|
|
are the causes of hydrochloric acid disappearance in the gastric
|
|
fluid following eating of food?
|
|
|
|
We have discovered that hydrochloric acid secretion may be
|
|
completely SUPPRESSED by emotion or worry and in these days of
|
|
emotional worry and distress, loss of homes, business, income and
|
|
monies, we may well fear that in the near future a great increase of
|
|
degenerative diseases such as cancer, nephritis, cardiac, nervous
|
|
and mental afflictions must assuredly occur unless man can rise
|
|
above worldly affairs and find the true and only source of
|
|
contentment and happiness.
|
|
|
|
When one considers that this normal acid, hydrochloric acid, is
|
|
derived from the tissues of the stomach or gastric membrane and not
|
|
directly from the sodium chloride of the blood, one readily realizes
|
|
that an ample supply of sodium chloride alone is insufficient to
|
|
restore normal gastric acidity. Rather, that it is instead a
|
|
complex process. The sodium atom is picked up and combined with the
|
|
phosphorous atom giving rise to sodium phosphate which must be
|
|
eliminated thus allowing the chlorine atom to be set free. The
|
|
chlorine atom combines with the potassium and other minerals and
|
|
albumins in the gastric acid and is made ready for future digestive
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
In my estimation it is not in the life of the cell that the secret
|
|
to malignancies is to be found but rather in THE MEDIA IN WHICH THE
|
|
CELL LIVES and the nerves that control it.
|
|
|
|
Cell growth is materially influenced by the nerve centers of the
|
|
spinal cord. This is undoubtedly true as is shown by the rapid
|
|
wasting of the cellular tissue when involvement of the anterior
|
|
horns of the spinal cord occurs in infantile paralysis and
|
|
progressive muscular atrophy. Such being the case, a toxin causing
|
|
destruction of the inhibiting control of cell growth probably
|
|
present in the posterior spinal nerve centers would allow wild
|
|
growth of cell life. Therefore, neoplasms in all of their
|
|
multitudinous forms and a general failure of the antiseptic powers
|
|
of the blood serum could bring about what is known as malignancy.
|
|
|
|
We see cancerous growths frequently appearing when the blood
|
|
pressure is low indicating a beginning failure of the adrenal system
|
|
to combat toxemia. When hypertension is present the other group of
|
|
degenerative diseases makes itself evident.
|
|
|
|
What can we conclude? That normal hydrochloric acid is necessary
|
|
for complete healthy digestion, that deficiency of this acid tends
|
|
to sepsis, suppuration, and general toxemia, that if adrenals are
|
|
inactive degenerative forms of disease usually appear, that if the
|
|
adrenals are impaired malignant neoplasms may be expected, that
|
|
neoplasms are most likely caused by failure of the inhibitory nerve
|
|
control probably located in the posterior nerve centers of the
|
|
spinal cord, that emotional worry, grief, anxiety, depression are
|
|
factors to be considered as causes of acid deficiency of gastric
|
|
fluid and thus give rise to many condtions causing degenerative
|
|
processes in alkalescence so commonly found in cancerous disease.
|
|
|
|
What is acidosis? An accumulation of acid or a diminution of the pH
|
|
|
|
Page 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reaction. But what acid? We can glibly say, carbonic acid in the
|
|
blood or lactic acid in the tissue, uric acid in the joints and
|
|
blood vessels, lactic, diacetic, butyric in the stomach or
|
|
intestines, etc. We may even visualize hepatic acids in the liver
|
|
but unless we know why these acids appear in excess and their
|
|
relation to alkalosis, we shall never be able to understand their
|
|
true significance or marshall our remedies effectively against them.
|
|
|
|
The only normal acid in the animal body is hydrochloric acid found
|
|
in the gastric juice. All other acids are waste products. The
|
|
carbonic acid of the breath is created by the oxidation of the
|
|
lactic acid of the tissues and therefore an excess of lactic acid is
|
|
a failure to oxidize this acid sufficiently. In diseases such as
|
|
cancer, tuberculosis and fevers, this failure of complete oxidation
|
|
is present. The amino acids are but stages of food digestion and
|
|
when present in excess show an impaired hepatic and pancreatic
|
|
function. The most pernicious form of acidosis is that produced
|
|
when a stoppage occurs in the duodenum or pylorus. In this
|
|
condition the hydrochloric acid of the gastric fulid disappears and
|
|
other acids such as the acetic, butyric, and lactic take its place.
|
|
The condition of chlorine of the blood is usually diminished, the
|
|
urea is increased and the capacity of the blood to combine with
|
|
carbon dioxide is increased.
|
|
|
|
Achlorhydria occurs in some cases of apparently healthy persons and
|
|
in many cases of gastrointestinal disease. It is also stressed that
|
|
it appears frequently in diabetes and with still greater frequency
|
|
in thyrotoxicosis as well as in certain nonmegalocytic hypochondriac
|
|
anemias. Absence of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice is a
|
|
common symptom in depressive neuroses. It is frequently associated
|
|
with mental fatigue, persistent worry and strain especially in
|
|
persons with a congenital unstable psyche. The symptoms are very
|
|
vague, lack of appetite, fullness after eating, gaseous eructations
|
|
and diarrhea is more common than constipation. Pain is absent.
|
|
|
|
Hydrochloric acid reacts with the duodenal membrane to produce a
|
|
hormone called secretin which stimulates the pancreas to release
|
|
insulin, increase the formation of bile and upgrade the activity of
|
|
the gallbladder. If we were to summarize the sequence of events
|
|
occurring as a result of hydrochloric acid deficiency we would list
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
Improper digestion
|
|
Fermentation and later putrifaction
|
|
Reduced absorption
|
|
Reduced liver and pancreas function
|
|
Ulcer formation
|
|
Elevated blood sugar
|
|
Reduced oxidation of lactic acid
|
|
Retention of carbon dioxide
|
|
Reduced activity of the white blood cells
|
|
Reduced destruction of bacteria
|
|
Unbalanced mineral levels
|
|
|
|
Improper digestion means an unbalanced assimilation, an unbalanced
|
|
mineral content of the body. What are some of the symptoms of
|
|
mineral imbalance?
|
|
|
|
First a surplus of sodium. This is following by tissues that are
|
|
|
|
Page 9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
too watery and a tendency toward edema and asthma, flabby muscles
|
|
and a lack of chlorine.
|
|
|
|
A deficiency of calcium means an excess of sodium and a deficiency
|
|
of potassium. Lack of hydrochloric is the main cause of alkalosis.
|
|
When the cellular tissue are too alkaline, the fatty acids tend to
|
|
disintegrate and give off glycerol. It is interesting to note that
|
|
the Progenitoracae, a series of bacteria similar to the
|
|
Actinomycetales which are similar to the Microbacteria which is the
|
|
Tuberculosis bacillus, and that all of these grow rapidly in
|
|
glycerin or sugar medias. It is also interesting that fluorine is
|
|
the most potent inhibitor of the enzyme enolase. When this enzyme
|
|
is inhibited, it causes the intake of carbohydrate to be shunted
|
|
into the production of Glyceryl instead of being combusted as fuel
|
|
energy. In this way industrial fluoride pollution aggravates
|
|
infection. If an alkaline condition exists in the body and is
|
|
accompanied by a physiologic overcompensation of the gastric chief
|
|
cells, an unaware physician, or the patient himself may
|
|
inadvertently dose himself with alkali antacids. This results in an
|
|
aggravation of the existing alkalosis and could force the body into
|
|
a compensatory acid production within the tissues.
|
|
|
|
The net result of this activity is the production of toxemia and the
|
|
reduction of the final line of defense and repair.
|
|
|
|
I have made repeated reference to the inactivity of the white blood
|
|
cells.
|
|
|
|
It is interesting to note that within two hours of the injection of
|
|
hydrogen chloride intravenously, 32% of the white cells were showing
|
|
pronounced phagocytic activity and engulfing microorganisms.
|
|
Twenty-four hours after the injection phagocytic activity showed
|
|
that 69% of the white cells were in phagocytic activity.
|
|
|
|
The average human has 7000-8000 white blood cells per milliliter of
|
|
blood. Projected out for a 160 pound male with six liters of blood
|
|
we would arrive at a white blood cell population of around 48
|
|
billion cells. With the use of hydrochloride injections we can
|
|
predictably increase the white blood cell population by another 2000
|
|
milliliter and add around 10 billion more cells into the fight,
|
|
whatever it may be.
|
|
|
|
We, of course, know that there are many things which can produce a
|
|
similar reaction. Gamma globulin, pancreatic extracts, nucleic
|
|
acids and so on. But none of these is as effective or as
|
|
physiologic as hydrochloric acid.
|
|
|
|
To show the tremendous support for healing such a therapy can be,
|
|
consider this case.
|
|
|
|
An individual who had ulcers in the duodenum and pyloric for 22
|
|
years. X-ray confirmed an active state of one of the lesions. He
|
|
received 10 injections of hydrogen chloride and all evidence of the
|
|
peptic ulcer disappeared.
|
|
|
|
It is probable that several hormones influencing the motions of the
|
|
intestine and its accessory organs are liberated when the acid
|
|
gastric juice containing digested food comes in contact with the
|
|
duodenal mucous membrane. We know that iron salts precipitate in a
|
|
|
|
Page 10
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neutral or slightly alkaline medium and thus the presence of
|
|
hydrochloric acid in the stomach serves a useful purpose in those
|
|
who are being given iron for the treatment of anemia.
|
|
|
|
We know that Vitamin B-1 is unstable in neutral or alkaline
|
|
solutions and for this reason hydrochloric acid plays some part in
|
|
the efficient utilization of this substance given orally. By
|
|
preventing the decomposition of thiamine which would otherwise take
|
|
place in the achlorhydric stomach, hydrochloric acid allows the full
|
|
amount taken into the stomach to reach the duodenum.
|
|
|
|
All disease processes, whether functional, metabolic, endocrine,
|
|
allergic, acute, chronic or degenerative are accompanied by the
|
|
condition of acidosis and the deficiency of the hydrochloric acid
|
|
production. It goes without saying that the longer that ill health
|
|
is permitted to exist in the body the less capable the tissues
|
|
become to respond to physiological stimuli. Use of hydrogen
|
|
chloride therapy in rheumatism and arthritis is rather rewarding.
|
|
In the treatment of acute articular rheumatism it is imperative that
|
|
treatment be started immediately. If treatment is given when only
|
|
one joint is effected the process can be stopped right there and
|
|
then. In the treatment of arthritis we give intravenous injections
|
|
of dilute hydrochloric acid solution daily for about three weeks.
|
|
When the pain has subsided we proceed to eliminate or cure all focal
|
|
infections such as abscessed teeth, infected tonsils and turbinates,
|
|
an infected or lacerated cervix, prostate glands and rectal crypts,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
Carbon monoxide has an affinity for hemoglobin 300 times as strong
|
|
as that of oxygen. We have found the use of an injection of dilute
|
|
hydrochloric acid intravenously will accelerate the release of
|
|
carbon monoxide from the hemoglobin.
|
|
|
|
It is well known that a certain reserve of alkaline salts is
|
|
necessary to normal physiology and that among many functions which
|
|
might be mentioned the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange carried on
|
|
through the presence of an optimal amount of alkalies in the blood.
|
|
Decrease this reserve and oxidation becomes materially reduced.
|
|
|
|
Actually the amount of oxidation going on in the cells or tissues
|
|
does not depend on the quantity of oxygen absorbed or on the amount
|
|
available in the blood but rather on the capacity of the tissues to
|
|
use it. The nature of this catalyst or enzyme is not clearly
|
|
determined but most physiologists at present recognize that some
|
|
such agent as a catalyst is necessary for normal oxidation. It
|
|
appears likely that the presence of hydrogen chloride in the
|
|
maintenance of the acid base balance is responsible for this normal
|
|
oxidation. Here is an interesting case history from the annals of
|
|
medicine.
|
|
|
|
A very sick woman was seen on a house-call basis. Upon examination
|
|
her temperature was found to be 100 degrees, respiration 56, pulse
|
|
160, she was highly toxic, cyanotic with a glassy glare in her eyes
|
|
and she was unconscious. She was immediately given 20 cc. of a
|
|
dilute solution of hydrochloric acid intravenously and within 5
|
|
minutes there was a marked improvement in the heart, the breathing
|
|
and the general condition. The cyanosis disappeared, she opened
|
|
her eyes and spoke. The attending physician returned three hours
|
|
later. The temperature had gone up 1.5 degrees. She was still
|
|
|
|
Page 11
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conscious and her general condition was good. It was then found
|
|
that she had a septic incomplete abortion which was then surgically
|
|
corrected and the patient went on to complete recovery.
|
|
|
|
There was a case reported before the American Association for the
|
|
Advancement of Science by a doctor. He stated a case history; "The
|
|
patient was moribund due to the unexpected effects of an anesthetic.
|
|
The hydrochloric acid was injected at 10:15 AM, eight minutes later
|
|
the lips began to twitch and ten minutes the hands moved and in
|
|
forty minutes the patient was talking coherently."
|
|
|
|
Early in the month of January, Dr. B. Ferguson was called to see a
|
|
patient, a man of 55 apparently dying from angina pectoris. He was
|
|
alone in the hotel room and could give no history of his ailment. A
|
|
partly empty bottle of Digitalis was on the dresser. Breathing from
|
|
water-filled lungs precluded any possibility of hearing anything of
|
|
the very rapid and tumultuous heart. With the aid of a bellboy he
|
|
was given an intravenous injection of hydrochloric acid dilute.
|
|
Before the completion of the injection the breathing had improved
|
|
and the patient rested easier.
|
|
|
|
It has been observed that an injection of hydrochloric acid dilute
|
|
intravenously does not markedly change the carbon dioxide capacity
|
|
of the blood while the oxygen content is markedly increased in 30
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
It is entirely possible that intravenous solutions of hydrochloric
|
|
acid can result in more oxidation of red blood cells than the
|
|
inhalation of oxygen through a nasal breathing device.
|
|
|
|
In a previous passage I showed a sequence of events when hydrogen
|
|
chloride supplies diminish. The bacterial growth within the body
|
|
accelerates, the toxic levels rise and the sequence continues.
|
|
|
|
Usually the disappearance of hydrogen chloride is gradual and the
|
|
bacteria wander into the circulation casually without provoking the
|
|
defensive mechanism.
|
|
|
|
There begins a constant and unending flow of bacteria toxins into
|
|
the bloodstream followed by slowing up of the circulation and all
|
|
other physiological processes. As a result of this the bacterial
|
|
toxins start to accumulate in the bloodstream and a mild toxemia set
|
|
in. It is generally known that the patient presents himself for the
|
|
first time to consult with his family doctor. He complains of mild
|
|
functional disorders such as general weakness, a loss of appetite, a
|
|
lack of endurance, a sallow complexion and irritability.
|
|
|
|
The avidity with which the white cells absorb or destroy every
|
|
foreign substance entering the bloodstream soon manifests itself in
|
|
the fact that the white cells become smothered and overpowered by
|
|
the increasing accumulation of bacterial toxins. The great influx
|
|
of bacterial poisons having rendered the white cells impotent, the
|
|
phagocytic response almost nil, even though there may be a high
|
|
leukocyte count. Examination of the blood picture after an
|
|
injection of hydrogen chloride will reveal a great increase in
|
|
leukocytic and phagocytic activity.
|
|
|
|
When the hydrogen chloride supplies in the bloodstream become too
|
|
low the body begins to manufacture other kinds of acids to
|
|
|
|
Page 12
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neutralize the alkalosis that supervenes. This is accomplished by
|
|
lactic, carbonic, butyric, diacetic, acetic and fatty acids.
|
|
|
|
This is followed by a functional stimulation of the gastric glands
|
|
responsible for the production of hydrogen chloride. As a result of
|
|
this disturbance an over-production of hydrogen chloride begins to
|
|
take place. An over-production of the acid takes place and a
|
|
condition of hyperchlorhydria and toxemia becomes manifest. Our
|
|
patient now pays his respects for a second time to the family
|
|
physician and reiterates his former complaints but with the new
|
|
added ones of the sympotoms of gastric distress.
|
|
|
|
A disordered chemistry follows the vanishing of hydrogen chloride
|
|
from the circulation and its replacement by the acid metabolic
|
|
wastes. Some of these wastes cannot be converted into substances
|
|
suitable for excretion. This factor plus the presence of bacterial
|
|
toxins or any other form of poisons entering the blood and the
|
|
progressive slowing up of the circulation and all other
|
|
physiological processes of the varied tissues gives rise to the
|
|
inability of the body to throw off completely metabolic acid waste
|
|
as quickly as they are formed, and therefore they begin to
|
|
accumulate in the bloodstream bringing about the condition of
|
|
incipient acidosis and toxemia.
|
|
|
|
Our patient now makes a third visit complaining of a lack of
|
|
endurance, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, vague pains and
|
|
digestive problems. Observe that as the functional disturbances are
|
|
beginning to become aggravated new symptoms are beginning to appear.
|
|
|
|
In the disposal of the acid wastes the bloodstream serves merely as
|
|
a conveyor. The absence of an adequate supply of potassium salts,
|
|
for example, gives rise to a diminution of the hydrogen chloride
|
|
production. Be that as it may, the production of hydrogen chloride
|
|
falls short and the condition known as hypochlorhydria supervenes.
|
|
The progressiveness of this metabolic disorder is apparent for
|
|
sooner or later there is a total suppression of the production of
|
|
hydrogen chloride and the condition know as achlorhydria becomes
|
|
manifest.
|
|
|
|
Clinically this train of events manifests itself as malnutrition and
|
|
a so-called physiological disturbance, metabolic, endocrine and
|
|
organic. Any of the infectious arthritis and osteoarthritis,
|
|
endocarditis, ulcerative endocarditis, myocarditis, rheumatic
|
|
pericarditis, acute chorea, muscular rheumatism, peripheral
|
|
neuritis, herpes, abscess of the brain, acute appendicitis,
|
|
cholecystitis, salpingitis, oophoritis, thyroiditis, nephritis,
|
|
osteomyelitis, phlebitus, synovitis, various skin disorders,
|
|
arteriosclerosis, bacteremia and the list goes on and on.
|
|
|
|
Faulty digestion and assimilation due to a deficiency of the
|
|
hydrogen chloride production in the stomach brings about a resulting
|
|
serious depletion of the alkaline reserve, malnutrition, impaired
|
|
metabolism, and a derangement of the physiologic functions of the
|
|
varied tissues.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the bloodstream becomes stagnant with the ever
|
|
increasing accumulation of bacterial toxins, metabolic acid wastes,
|
|
acid wastes, acid salts altered secretions of the endocrine gland
|
|
and bacteria. The bloodstream becomes a literal cesspool against
|
|
|
|
Page 13
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which the varied tissues, particularly those with an inheritied
|
|
weakness or susceptibility, begin to react. Clinically there
|
|
becomes manifest the condition of advanced acidosis and toxemia.
|
|
|
|
Our patient is still with us and by now he complains of marked
|
|
general weakness, nervousness, insomnia, digestive disorders,
|
|
various functional disturbances of a metabolic and endocrine nature,
|
|
functional disturbances of the heart, severe headache, allergic
|
|
manifestations, malnutrition, vague pains all over the body and in
|
|
addition the symptoms of any inflammatory or organic lesions
|
|
present. He again visits his family physician.
|
|
|
|
He is now advised to consult the elite of the profession, the
|
|
surgeon, neurologist, endocrinologist, allergist, the stomach
|
|
specialist and others. In due time having made the rounds of the
|
|
various specialists he finds himself relieved of various appendages
|
|
and certain sums of money. His condition, however, continues
|
|
progressively worse. The deficiency of hydrogen chloride
|
|
production, starvation of minerals, vitamins and amino acids and
|
|
other food elements and a total unbalance or derangement of all
|
|
physiological functions of the varied tissues of the body. Also
|
|
there is ever decreasing degree of tissue susceptibility.
|
|
Furthermore it is to be observed that at this stage it no longer
|
|
matters what the predisposing factor has been that brought about the
|
|
ill health.
|
|
|
|
Well, time marches on. The ever increasing degree of
|
|
intensification of each and every component comprising the general
|
|
causation coupled with the presence of one or more pathological
|
|
processes brings back our patient not only with the symptoms of the
|
|
demonstrable pathology but also the symptoms of advanced progressive
|
|
acidosis and toxemia, exhaustion and easy fatigability, insomnia,
|
|
feeling of pressure in the front of the head, the top of the head
|
|
and the back of the neck, the region of the throat and sternum are
|
|
also favorite locations in which tight feelings occur. There may be
|
|
backache, bellyache, severe headace, dizzy spells, muscular pains
|
|
and weakness, dyspepsia, extreme nervousness and irritability,
|
|
sexual disorders, mental disturbances, numbness of hands, fingers
|
|
and toes, clammy hands and feet, vague pains all over the body,
|
|
subnormal or above normal temperature, high or low blood pressure
|
|
and various functional heart disorders. By this time one or more
|
|
allergic diseases have already become manifest.
|
|
|
|
By now our patient finally realizes the futility of seeking further
|
|
aid be it allopathic, homeopathic, osteopathic, chiropractic,
|
|
neuropathic, or what have you and settles down in the bitter frame
|
|
of mind to await his day of deliverance.
|
|
|
|
On and on the process continues until all the varied tissues become
|
|
saturated with these poisons with complete loss of tissue
|
|
susceptibility and the aberration of all physiological functions.
|
|
Degenerative disease is but a reaction of the tissues against the
|
|
general pathology. It can take any number of forms such as
|
|
areteriosclerosis, diabetes, nephritis, affections of the heart,
|
|
neoplastic growths, pernicious anemia, leukemia, lymphadenoma,
|
|
senile insanity, multiple sclerosis, and arthritic degenerations.
|
|
|
|
Now let's take a look at this patient in the final stages. Let us
|
|
visualize the patient in his final stage of advanced acidosis and
|
|
|
|
Page 14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
toxemia. Look about you as your friends, your loved ones. Look at
|
|
yourself. Ask yourself, "How do you feel, really?" All of this
|
|
tragedy, the death, the pain, and despair solvable by simple
|
|
therapies generated by a simple process of thought and administered
|
|
in a simple gesture of help and kindness.
|
|
|
|
All of this available for more than thirty years. But what has
|
|
become of the genius that sprouted forth from the minds of a few
|
|
physicians long ago? A simple call to the Bureau of Medical
|
|
Investigation will reveal them to be "dead quacks!"
|
|
|
|
At this moment we need an Emergency Survival Philosophy.
|
|
|
|
In the future we will all participate in the Health Crimes Trials of
|
|
the Twentieth Century.
