FIGS. 7 and 8.--Photographs of patient from New Hampshire, who
consulted me April 1st, 1914, with well-marked bilateral goiter of
two years’ standing. Patient had had constant pressure and frequently
pain over sternum for three months, but responded quickly to distal
pressures, and was agreeably surprised to learn that the pain and
discomfort would disappear for hours after pressure as depicted in
illustration. Twice daily the patient exerted pressure on the posterior
wall of the epipharynx via the nostrils with a cotton-wound applicator
moistened with spirits of camphor--for its antiseptic effect merely.
Patient returned to New Hampshire the first of May, after one month
treatment, or fifteen visits, considerably benefited. The growth had
entirely disappeared by the middle of June. The last photograph was
taken in Hartford, July 1st. Pressure through the thumbs and index and
middle fingers of both hands, (inasmuch as only three zones on a side
were involved), and pressure on the posterior walls of the epipharynx
with metal applicator alternately, which she continued at home, was the
only treatment she received.]
The explanation for the non-relief of the two cases which did not
improve under treatment is simple--and very conclusive to those
familiar with the method and its workings. One of these two
non-benefited cases refused to carry out her “home treatment”. The
other was a patient suffering from an uterine tumor. This produced a
pathological condition in the goitre zone. Hence the goitre would not
yield until all other conditions influencing this zone were removed. I
sent this lady to a gynecologist and it is quite certain that, after
this tumor is removed, she will, under appropriate treatment, entirely
recover from her goitre.
Dr. Reid Kellogg and Dr. Thomas Mournighan of Providence, R. I., Dr.
George Starr White of Los Angeles, Dr. Plank of Kansas City, and a
number of other medical men, have reported that they have the same
uniformly favorable results in treating goitre that we have here.
Dr. Kellogg has had a dozen cases, all of which have been, or are
being, cured. It is interesting to note that one of his cases, also, a
lady suffering from a slight erosion of the neck of the womb, made no
progress until this condition was cleared up by proper local treatment.
Dr. Mournighan has also reported on fifteen cases--eight of which were
of the exophthalmic variety--all improving or discharged as recovered.
