The following article on the work of Dr. Robert Koch was
|
|
retrieved from the legendary Vangard Sciences archives,
|
|
(A.K.A.) the pile of junk.
|
|
|
|
There have been many stories written about Dr. Koch. Most
|
|
of them came from the state of Michigan in the 1940's. When I
|
|
return to Michigan this year I will look up some of these
|
|
articles and put them on the KeelyNet for you.
|
|
|
|
My father was a student at the University of Detroit in
|
|
the early 1930's and remembers Dr. Koch very well. He said that
|
|
Dr. Koch was quite outspoken and quite controversial about his
|
|
research. Although he was very much respected for his
|
|
research.
|
|
|
|
As of this date the formula that Dr. Koch was using is
|
|
still known. We know someone who has the formula but has yet
|
|
to release it. I don't know why someone would want to just keep
|
|
it for and not distribute it to help others. If they are not
|
|
going to profit for it, then they should just give it away. We
|
|
hope you find this article of use.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS
|
|
OF
|
|
HON. WILLIAM LANGER
|
|
OF NORTH DAKOTA
|
|
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
|
|
Monday, June 7, 1948
|
|
|
|
Mr. Langer. Mr. President. I hold in my hand an article
|
|
which appears in the current issue of a Lutheran magazine
|
|
called the Eleventh Hour, published by the Lutheran Research
|
|
Society of Detroit, Michigan. This article bears the title
|
|
"The Koch Treatment."
|
|
|
|
It describes the science developed by Dr. William
|
|
Frederick Koch, of Detroit, Mich., for the treatment of
|
|
prevailing diseases to which our twentieth-century civilization
|
|
is heir.
|
|
|
|
I have personally watched the progress of this system of
|
|
treatment over a period of years. I feel that it is deserving
|
|
of the attention of everyone who is interested in the health of
|
|
the American people.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I therefore ask unanimous consent to have this
|
|
illuminating document printed in the Record at this point as a
|
|
part of my remarks.
|
|
|
|
There being no objection, the article was ordered to be
|
|
printed in the Record, as follows:
|
|
|
|
THE KOCH TREATMENT
|
|
|
|
Fortunately for Canadian farmers in the Province of
|
|
British Columbia, the Minister of the Department of Agriculture
|
|
possessed an open mind.
|
|
|
|
This fact is saving cattle raisers into the millions of
|
|
dollars annually. It is assuring them of better cows, steers,
|
|
and beef than previously known.
|
|
|
|
Such ailments as Bang's disease, Johne's disease, and
|
|
other fatal diseases that customarily make devastating demands
|
|
upon dairy herds are no longer fatal in British Columbia.
|
|
Thanks to the integrity and foresight of Canadian physicians,
|
|
veterinarians, and Government experts who recently completed a
|
|
series of successful experiments with the Koch system for
|
|
treating virulent diseases. More about these investigations a
|
|
little later.
|
|
|
|
But, be it known as a further warning against trying to
|
|
suppress truth, that farmers in various parts of the United
|
|
States are rising up in indignation, demanding the right to
|
|
enjoy the same advantages as their Canadian brethren. Cattle
|
|
raisers in South American countries, notably Brazil, have for
|
|
years demonstrated the validity of the Koch treatment.
|
|
|
|
As an index to the stir now being created by American men
|
|
of the soil, your editor has before him a document which may
|
|
well become one of historical importance. It is a petition,
|
|
drawn up by a group of Michigan farmers and submitted for
|
|
signature to members of State legislature for their respective
|
|
districts. It is dated April 1948, and says:
|
|
|
|
"We the undersigned members of the Michigan State
|
|
legislature respectfully petition the Congress of the United
|
|
States, through an appropriate committee to investigate the
|
|
injunction imposed by a Federal court on William Frederick
|
|
Koch, Ph. D. M.D., a pioneer in the field of research and
|
|
treatment of cancer, inasmuch as recently discovered methods of
|
|
treatment confirm the research of Dr. Koch, with the end in
|
|
view of requesting the Attorney General of the United States to
|
|
have said injunction dismissed, so that Dr. Koch can continue
|
|
further research and practice in his field without
|
|
restriction."
|
|
|
|
The document bears the signature of 25 legislators.
|
|
|
|
More about Dr. Koch's persecution a little later. * * *
|
|
|
|
Suffice to say that Michigan farmers are not letting their
|
|
herds die while waiting for bureaucrats to lift an injunction
|
|
that should never have been imposed. They are using Koch
|
|
therapy anyway, thereby saving themselves and the public
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
substantial sums of money in terms of cattle, beef, and dairy
|
|
products.
|
|
|
|
Injustice temporarily denies the learned physician the
|
|
right of recommending his treatment. But men living close to
|
|
nature, who know values when they see them, are using the
|
|
discovery just the same.
|
|
|
|
This reminds us of the man of old who insisted the world
|
|
was round and that it moved on its axis. In stocks, suffering
|
|
excruciating pain, he cried out that his tormentors were right
|
|
the earth was flat and stationary. But when given this
|
|
freedom, he confided to a friend that the earth had been moving
|
|
all the time.
|
|
|
|
Denial of the earth's rotundity did not cause the solar
|
|
system's wheels to stop.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Albert L. Wahl, a New York physician of enviable
|
|
attainments says in his book. A Least Common Denominator in
|
|
Antibiotics: "In the philosophy of medicine, the last word has
|
|
not been said. Nor of course, is it presumed that the present
|
|
writing; encompasses the final dictum. But in the words of
|
|
the Old Testament, `God has worked a new thing, and this new
|
|
thing ( the Koch treatment ) is substantiated by extensive
|
|
clinical observation. And the facts press hard upon our
|
|
present concepts, not only of clinical pathology, but of the
|
|
chemistry of immunity, and clamour for a revision of our
|
|
philosophy of medicine."
|
|
|
|
Dr. William J. Hale of the Dow Chemical Co. says: "Dr.
|
|
William Frederick Koch is the modern Pasteur."
|
|
|
|
Prof. Joseph Maisin of Louvain University, Beigium, stated
|
|
to the Canadian Cancer Commission in 1940: "The Koch formula
|
|
should not be called MERELY a cancer cure. It is a very
|
|
important step in medicine and is apt to change the whole
|
|
picture of medicine and pathology. Dr. Koch is doing wonderful
|
|
things."
|
|
|
|
It is an interesting story how Koch therapy began to be
|
|
applied in animals:
|
|
|
|
Dr. D. H. Arnott, of London, Ontario, first applied the
|
|
system in the cure of human diseases in 1926. Other physicians
|
|
and scientists became deeply interested in the cures effected.
|
|
While convinced that Dr. Koch had discovered new and useful
|
|
therapeutic chemicals, the kind of data customarily accumulated
|
|
by animal experiments was lacking. This led to the amazing
|
|
results that farmers are now enjoying.
|
|
|
|
The Honorable K. C. MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture of
|
|
British Columbia, called a group of experts together at
|
|
Vancouver on October 4, 1944. It was agreed that the Koch
|
|
method of treating diseases which were then ravaging fine dairy
|
|
herds, should be carefully studied.
|
|
|
|
Two divergent views were expressed at this meeting:
|
|
(1). Educational, scientific, and administrative
|
|
authorities present, took the position that reports
|
|
of cures were fantastic and too good to be true.
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(2). Practical men, farmers who had seen the
|
|
demonstrations with their own eyes, testified that
|
|
results were being realized exactly as claimed.
|
|
|
|
On page 16 of his 1944 report, the Minister stated: "There
|
|
were many dairymen present who made astounding claims for the
|
|
Koch treatment. In practically all cases the dairy claimed
|
|
that their cows responded almost immediately. These cattle
|
|
owners were emphatic in their request that no action be taken
|
|
which would prevent their obtaining Koch treatments when
|
|
required."
|
|
|
|
One leading breeder told how the Koch treatment had saved
|
|
an especially good cow given up to die. He explained that it
|
|
developed mastitus during lactation. A veterinary surgeon
|
|
advised him to have the animal removed from the herd and
|
|
slaughtered. There was danger of the infection spreading.
|
|
|
|
Instead, the Koch treatment was applied. The action
|
|
consisted of one dose of the therapeutic reagent being
|
|
administered by hypodermic syringe under the skin of the neck.
|
|
Recovery was instantaneous and within a week the cow's milk was
|
|
being sold to the creamery.
|
|
|
|
Other breeders relate similar experiences. Thereupon it
|
|
was unanimously agreed that the Department of Agriculture
|
|
should investigate the merits of the system. The official
|
|
declaration appears on page 16 of the agricultural department's
|
|
1944 report: "The Minister stated that it was his desire to
|
|
form an opinion based upon accurate investigations and he named
|
|
a committee to under take this investigation."
|
|
|
|
Mr. MacDonald's words of instruction were: "I am Minister,
|
|
and gentleman, I am determined to get at the truth."
|
|
|
|
Two veterinarians were appointed by members of the
|
|
committee to work together. Animals were to be examined and
|
|
their diseases classified. It was agreed that no clinical
|
|
problem would be rejected because of the severity of the
|
|
disease. The joint opinion of the owner and the two
|
|
veterinarians was to be accepted as final. Field work was
|
|
begun in November 1944 and completed in September 1945. A
|
|
Government laboratory and a private laboratory duplicated each
|
|
other's work and checked up on the bacteriology and other
|
|
analyses required for the test.
|
|
|
|
The results were nothing short of astounding to members of
|
|
the committee. Everything that the Koch Laboratories, located
|
|
at 8181 East Jefferson Avenue, in Detroit, anticipated, came to
|
|
pass. It was fitting that the final report published by the
|
|
Government of British Columbia should have contained a
|
|
statement by Dr. Arnott. He summed up the Koch theory of
|
|
treatment as follows:
|
|
|
|
"Life is promoted, sustained, and reproduced by the use of
|
|
food. For good health the supply must be adequate in
|
|
amount and in variety. For the best normal results it is
|
|
necessary that the food be well digested and also that
|
|
the potential energy contained therein be transferred
|
|
into living energy throughout the body at a vigorous
|
|
|
|
Page 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate, burning the food properly in each individual cell
|
|
where it unites with oxygen for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
"This living chemical reaction is spoken of by medical
|
|
science as internal respiration, and it must take place
|
|
continuously because nature has not provided any
|
|
reservoir wherein oxygen may be stored, to be drawn upon
|
|
at will or in time of need. It is upon the degree
|
|
approaching perfection with which food is thus turned
|
|
into living energy consistently that conditions requisite
|
|
for good health are best maintained, that diseases are
|
|
best resisted, that life is best reproduced."
|
|
|
|
"It is Dr. Koch's belief that a normal supply of these
|
|
essential carbon compounds often can be renewed by the
|
|
hypodermic administration of the reagents which he
|
|
discovered."
|
|
|
|
The committee adopted a closing resolution which contained
|
|
the following commendatory clause:
|
|
|
|
"That the observations justify a recognition of the
|
|
working hypothesis of biological oxidation of the Koch
|
|
treatment, meriting its further use in veterinary
|
|
therapy."
|
|
|
|
And so, our Canadian friends are profiting from the
|
|
wonderful achievements of the Koch science.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Koch began the treatment of cancer in 1918 and other
|
|
diseases later.
|
|
|
|
He soon discovered interests existing in the United States
|
|
that did not welcome recoveries from these deadly enemies of
|
|
society to reach the public. Since that time he has had to
|
|
constantly beat down the opposition in order to continue his
|
|
work for the relief of suffering humanity.
|
|
|
|
The fundamentals of the Koch science may be succinctly
|
|
stated as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. That the chemistry of natural immunity in the body is
|
|
able to destroy the toxicity of germs.
|
|
|
|
2. When the body is invaded by toxic bacteria so full of
|
|
poison that they spill over into the system, the
|
|
oxidation mechanism must burn off these poisons or
|
|
the person becomes ill.
|
|
|
|
3. The less able the system is to burn, or oxidize, the
|
|
poisons, the weaker the person becomes. When the
|
|
oxidation mechanism fails to burn off any poison, the
|
|
victim dies.
|
|
|
|
4. The Koch Laboratories have developed synthetic
|
|
antitoxins which act as a catalyst in helping the
|
|
body build up its oxidation mechanism equal to the
|
|
task of destroying these toxins. When natural
|
|
immunity is restored the person recovers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Cancer behavior is a protective response to a toxic
|
|
product generated within the body. Dr. Koch
|
|
summarized the matter many years ago in a scientific
|
|
paper form which the following sentences are
|
|
reproduced:
|
|
|
|
"Clinical observation discloses the persistence of toxemia
|
|
over a period even as long as 20 years previous to the
|
|
advent of the growth. After the growth has come these
|
|
toxic manifestations disappear, or nearly so. After
|
|
surgical removal of the growth they return and with
|
|
recurrence of the growth again disappear. We designate
|
|
these symptoms as the pro growth symptoms, for they
|
|
differ from those consequent to the activity of the
|
|
growth itself."
|
|
|
|
"The strongest and the sufficient proof that cancer is a
|
|
response of protection against a definite toxin, however,
|
|
rests with the fact that removal of the toxin and
|
|
destruction of the toxin source is followed by complete
|
|
involution of all cancer tissue, complete healing of the
|
|
regions involved, return to health with absence of growth
|
|
and pro growth symptoms, and the absence of recurrence."
|
|
|
|
6. Diet occupies a prominent place in the practical
|
|
application of the system.
|
|
|
|
Testimonials like the following by Dr. Wahl could be
|
|
multiplied to fill several large volumes:
|
|
|
|
"Over a year ago, my sister was dying of lymphosarcoma, a
|
|
disease which the profession regards as invariably fatal.
|
|
The diagnosis was made by Dr. H. H. Permar, of Mercy
|
|
Hospital Pittsburgh, Pa. on the basis of biopsy study No.
|
|
1171, May 1, 1946. The medical staff of Mercy Hospital
|
|
had perviously made a diagnosis of lymphosarcoma or
|
|
Hodgkin's disease.
|
|
|
|
"The case was far advanced at the time, my sister having
|
|
been practically bedridden for 6 months because of
|
|
weakness and recurrent infections. The masses of lymphoid
|
|
tissue did not have to be palpated; they stood out on the
|
|
sides of her neck and in her axillae and groins like
|
|
bunches of grapes mixed with walnuts.
|
|
|
|
"When the diagnosis of lymphosarcoma had been made, and I
|
|
had received written commiseration from a top-ranking
|
|
staff member of Mercy Hospital, it never occurred to me
|
|
to do other than offer my sister the straw hope of deep
|
|
X-ray therapy. Everyone who examined her thought she
|
|
would be dead within a few weeks.
|
|
|
|
"I refused to listen to my father's recommendations that
|
|
my sister be treated with a substance built up from the
|
|
conjugated systems of carbonyl and ethylene linkages.
|
|
Because of American Medical Association propaganda, I
|
|
believed that the results previously reported with this
|
|
therapy approached the acme of quackery."
|
|
|
|
"However, my father did have my sister treated, since he
|
|
|
|
Page 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
personally knew of cases of cancer which were cured and
|
|
remained cured after its use. This type of cancer is
|
|
fatal in 3 to 6 months, as a rule.
|
|
|
|
"My sister was in the last stages and was said to have
|
|
only a few weeks to live, according to the best knowledge
|
|
on the subject. She recovered after one dose in
|
|
characteristic fashion."
|
|
|
|
"Then and there, I decided to undertake an independent
|
|
investigation of the treatment. I have been irrevocably
|
|
convinced of the great value of this treatment."
|
|
|
|
"The American Medical Association is not yet convinced
|
|
after 25 years. But that is an old story."
|
|
|
|
William Frederick Koch was graduated bachelor of arts at
|
|
the University of Michigan in 1909 and later received the
|
|
degrees of master of arts (1910), and doctor of philosophy
|
|
(1917). He received his medical degree at the Detroit College
|
|
of Medicine.
|
|
|
|
During 1910-13 he was instructor in histology and
|
|
embryology at the University of Michigan, and for 5 years,
|
|
1914-19, professor of physiology in the Detroit Medical
|
|
College.
|
|
|
|
Comparisons are odious, but Dr. Koch has been described by
|
|
authorities as "the world's greatest living chemist"; "the
|
|
discoverer of a new science which charts the future course of
|
|
the medical profession"; "one who cannot be bought, coerced, or
|
|
intimidated"; "a Christian gentleman of courage and distinctive
|
|
attainments"; and "a man of amazing capacities."
|
|
|
|
No one who knows him well and understands the humanitarian
|
|
spirit that animates his every deed will deny that the
|
|
foregoing descriptions apply.
