|
||
|
||
While discussing things with my family, I (Jerry Decker) sometimes
|
||
get into the stuff we all are interested in. At these times my
|
||
mother sometimes recalls unusual things which happened to her during
|
||
her life (she is now 64).
|
||
|
||
This Christmas I made it a point to collect two most interesting
|
||
memories having to do with a Cancer treatment and a means of
|
||
bolstering the overall health of a person using electrical currents.
|
||
|
||
She was born and raised in a small Texas town called Childress. Her
|
||
father was a successful farmer and her mother was a schoolteacher
|
||
and later a nurse. Both are now deceased as of 1984.
|
||
|
||
The following are the basics of what Mom remembered.
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
An Alleged Cancer Cure
|
||
|
||
Mom says that about 1954, a lady (in her 30's) came to Childress and
|
||
either bought or rented a house. One of the rooms she used as a
|
||
kind of clinic to treat people for cancer.
|
||
|
||
She did not solicit advertising and relied strictly on word of mouth
|
||
to advertise her treatment. She never claimed to be a doctor or
|
||
trained in any way to administer medical treatments.
|
||
|
||
People came from miles around to be "cured" of cancer. The process
|
||
involved the use of a white, chalky, flour-like powder which was
|
||
mixed with water to form a paste.
|
||
|
||
Electrodes leading from what appeared to be a battery were stuck to
|
||
the paste which was rubbed on the cancer. The powder could also be
|
||
taken internally.
|
||
|
||
My grandfather, Charlie Melton (Mom's dad), had a skin cancer which
|
||
was present on both sides of the bridge of his nose. These bled
|
||
frequently and the doctor said he could do nothing about them.
|
||
|
||
Granpa Melton went to this lady and she mixed this mysterious powder
|
||
with water, applied it to each side of his nose over the cancer
|
||
areas and stuck one electrode (a small metal plate with a wire
|
||
soldered to it) into the paste on each side.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A switch was turned on which allowed some form of electrical current
|
||
to pass into the salve/paste through wires leading from a wooden box
|
||
to the electrods.
|
||
|
||
Granpa said he felt nothing. The process lasted about 15 minutes
|
||
for which the lady charged $5.00 per 15 minute treatment. Granpa
|
||
took the treatment for 5 days.
|
||
|
||
Each day the cancer would shrink much like a sore healing. On the
|
||
fifth day, it was almost totally gone with nothing but a pink area
|
||
appearing on the sixth day. It never came back or appeared in any
|
||
other form. (Grandad died in 1959)
|
||
|
||
Mom says that the doctor examined my grandfather and thought it
|
||
amazing that he was now cured of the cancer.
|
||
|
||
She also said that the machine made a buzzing noise when the switch
|
||
was turned on although there was no visible sparking as would be
|
||
present with a MWO or Tesla type device.
|
||
|
||
The lady told everyone that her father had discovered the properties
|
||
of the powder and passed it on to her. She was told to keep it to
|
||
herself and pass it ONLY TO MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILY.
|
||
|
||
The lady had gone to college to try to understand just how this
|
||
powder worked, otherwise she had no medical training, nor did her
|
||
father. Mom thinks she had training as a lab technician.
|
||
|
||
The lady operated her small "practice" for about 3 years, then
|
||
packed up and disappeared.
|
||
|
||
Mom could not remember the lady's name so she will be difficult to
|
||
trace. The microfilms of the local newspaper "the Childress Index"
|
||
are stored in the Canyon Museum archives (Canyon, Texas up near
|
||
Amarillo).
|
||
|
||
There is no guarantee that a story was ever written about the woman
|
||
since she did not advertise and apparently made no big deal about
|
||
her activities.
|
||
|

|
||
Vangard note...
|
||
|
||
This white powder is most interesting. Possibly some form of
|
||
aluminum, magnesium, potassium, could be any number of substances
|
||
and we don't know that it was NOT a compound of several.
|
||
|
||
The generation of a buzzing noise from an electrical box (WHICH
|
||
WAS NOT HOOKED TO THE MAINS, but appeared to be battery driven)
|
||
indicates probably a multi-vibrator as used to power vacuum tubes
|
||
in old car radios. I don't think frequency had so much to do
|
||
with it as a means of ionically projecting the powder into the
|
||
tissues.
|
||
|
||
From what we know of the properties of electricity in tissues, we
|
||
can easily believe that a positive DC current was sent through
|
||
the electrodes into the negative body.
|
||
|
||
This would cause a flow FROM the positive electrodes THROUGH the
|
||
paste INTO the negative tissues.
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now, if AC was used, then it could have used a half wave
|
||
rectifier to send only positive going waves into the naturally
|
||
more negative body of the "patient".
|
||
|
||
Either way the patient would receive an ionic transference of the
|
||
powder into the tissues.
|
||
|
||
If anyone knows of such a powder, we would be interested in its
|
||
composition and further details regarding it application, history
|
||
and uses.

|
||
|
||
Electro-Stimulation for Health
|
||
|
||
Mom says in about 1948, another lady (about 50 years old) came to
|
||
town and stayed for about 3 weeks before she was run out of town.
|
||
|
||
The woman rented a house and had a large room in which she had setup
|
||
3 straight back chairs and some tables hooked to a large machine
|
||
with dials and a switch.
|
||
|
||
The claim was that she could "cure" anything with her machine. Mom
|
||
says that electrodes were attached to the temples, the arms, the
|
||
wrist, the thigh and the calf. These were dual electrodes, i.e. one
|
||
on either side.
|
||
|
||
The machine had a big dial labelled Lo-Med-Hi. The woman would
|
||
start off always on LO then go up as people became accustomed to the
|
||
flow of current.
|
||
|
||
People who took the "treatment" would profess to be much better, no
|
||
matter what the ailment. Mom could not remember much about this
|
||
such as duration. She did say that the machine hummed rather than
|
||
buzzed. It was again a battery powered unit with no MAINS
|
||
connection.
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Vangard note...
|
||
|
||
Again we must remind ourselves that ANY electrical current
|
||
flowing through the body will of NECESSITY increase the ionic
|
||
flow of gases and fluids in the body. This also increases the
|
||
overall oxygen level of the system to give a "rush" which might
|
||
be mis-interpreted as a "cure".
|
||
|
||
Our experiments with galvanic and high voltage energies being
|
||
transmitted through and over the body have ALWAYS PROVEN to be
|
||
highly STIMULATING.
|
||
|
||
We have collected several very old books regarding the "quack"
|
||
uses of electricity from about 1840 to during WWII. Many of
|
||
these are most bizarre, but all are interesting. We hope to
|
||
include these on KeelyNet at the first opportunity for other
|
||
experimenters to try.
|
||
|
||
I read about a bath tub which had metal plates immersed in the
|
||
water. When these were applied to a battery, the energy would
|
||
|
||
|
||
Page 3
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
pass through the body of the patient to give most salutary
|
||
effects. Remember this was DC.
|
||
|
||
Sounded like a good experiment, so I hooked up a small TENS unit
|
||
capable of both frequency and amplitude adjustments and powered
|
||
by a new 9 volt battery.
|
||
|
||
A piece of aluminum foil was placed in the bottom of my bath tub
|
||
with an alligator clip leading to one electrode of the TENS
|
||
unit. The other electrode was attached with another alligator
|
||
clip to a shower head.
|
||
|
||
The unit was switched on at full amplitude and about 30 CPS.
|
||
The shower was turned on full blast hoping to get a more or less
|
||
continuous stream of water. This was not to be however, so I
|
||
grabbed the shower head with both hands and COULD NOT LET GO!
|
||
|
||
It was FAR FROM PAINFUL, in fact it was QUITE STIMULATING!
|
||
Unfortunately, I had to get ready for work and found I COULD NOT
|
||
RELEASE the shower head! After about 5 minutes of quivering, it
|
||
took a MAJOR MENTAL EFFORT to break the connection.
|
||
|
||
After releasing the shower head, I felt like a million bucks and
|
||
people at work asked if I had been taking "medication".
|
||
Needless to say, I did not recount the most recent experience.
|
||
|
||
Please remember to only use low level batteries when
|
||
experimenting with such things. The least bit of breakdown in
|
||
circuitry connected to the house wiring could easily kill you.
|
||
|
||
For that reason, we are simply recounting our own experiences
|
||
and in NO WAY are we encouraging similar experiments from
|
||
readers of this paper.
