--------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Page 1
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.
Page 2
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.
