Hippocrates on “Madness”IMPLICATING INFECTIOUS PROCESSES:

- "Varicose veins or hemorrhoids supervening on madness remove it“

- "Maniacal" and epileptic most prominently encountered in Spring

- "Madness comes from [the brain's] moistness." 

- "progress of the blood through the body proving irregular, all kinds of irregularities occur."

Benjamin Rush on Epilepsy, etc."Some time in the year 1801 I was consulted by the father

of a young gentleman in Baltimore, who had been affected with epilepsy. I inquired into the state of his teeth, and was informed that several of them in his upper jaw were much decayed.I directed them to be extracted, and advised him afterwards to lose a few ounces of blood, at any time when he felt the premonitory symptoms of a recurrence of his fits. He followed my advice, in consequence of which I had lately the pleasure of hearing from his brother that he was perfectly cured.

"I have been made happy be discovering that I have only added to the observations of other physicians, in pointing out a connection between the extraction of decayed and diseased teeth and the cure of general diseases." Martin Fischer 1940, p. 199.

UPSON (1908); COTTON (1921)• Henry Upson’s Insomnia and Nerve Strain, 1908, was the first

systematic attempt to explain mental disease in terms of (tooth and gum) infection.

• Henry Cotton’s The Defective, Delinquent and Insane, 1921, related the Billings-Rosenow bacteriological perspective to mental illness and publicized the concept in the 1920s.

• Adolph Meyer, MD, Johns Hopkins Professor of Psychiatry & Director of Henry Phipps Clinic, in Foreword to Cotton’s book:

“To the physician I should recommend a patient reading … .” Meyer urged “physicians and laymen to furnish means for extensive and well-controlled trials [with expectation of] good results.”

TOOTH IS BONE, ALIVE, CONNECTED (compromised teeth are compound fractures)

• Pierre Fauchard (18th Cent.; father of dentistry)

- teeth are hardest bones in body- enamel analogous to fingernail

• John Hunter (18th Cent.; father of anatomy)

• Martin Fischer, MD ( 1940, Death & Dentistry; Physiologist)

- all fillings bad; deprive wound of O2- chronic, common streptococcal disease –

“The Billings-Rosenow Syndrome”

• Zoethout & Tuttle (1952, Textbook of Physiology)- dentin almost identical with bone

Antigen in Blood, Schizophrenia, etc.

Rosenow demonstrated antigen in blood in active stages of various diseases, including

-- Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Poliomyelitis

South Dakota J. Med., Sept. 1952

-- Multiple Sclerosis

Ohio Medical Journal, July 1957

Stortbecker 1967:

--"Confirmation of the Rosenow antibody-antigen skin reaction in idiopathic epilepsy” (and “an encouraging regression of clinical and electro-encephalographic signs and symptoms ... observed in [epilepsy] patients, following removal of [infected] dental foci ...".)

Hypodermic Syringe and Needle

Reported success of extravascular (IM or subcutaneous) autohemotherapy in a wide range of conditions may be viewed as added evidence of antigen in the blood.

Conversely, antigen in blood as directly shown by Rosenow may enable IM-reinjected blood to act as a therapeutic “vaccine”.

Technology enablingmodern autohemotherapy:

Autohemotherapy provides indirect evidence of antigen in blood

VACCINE-THERAPY RATIONALE

Regardless of all other considerations, if mental disorders are indeed caused by infections, therapeutic vaccines would logically appear to merit consideration

(e.g. Rosenow’s antigen/antibody,

or autohemotherapy, or ?)

VACCINE ORIGIN - JENNER

The first vaccination: Jenner induces cowpox in “experimental animal” (eight-year-old boy).

PASTEURPasteur found that injecting "attenuated" microbes may protect animals from future exposures to virulent ones.

Pasteur’s rabies therapy was apparently, in a sense, the first therapeutic vaccine.

Wright extended this concept to vaccine-therapy in general and therapy with autogenous vaccines.

- Spontaneous auto-inoculation, spontaneous cure (included exercise, massage, surgery)

-Artificial auto-inoculation: autogenous vaccines

- Small doses, widely spaced

- Inject in tissues, where antibodies formed

- Critical of serum therapy

VACCINE-THERAPY – THE WRIGHT STUFF

Sir Almroth Wright was a friend of Bernard Shaw and the acknowledged inspiration for “The Doctor’s Dilemma”
