Results: 1) The intoxicated or anesthetized rabbits, both immunized and non-immunized, showed no swelling or pus (indications of the activity of the body's defense mechanisms) in the infected organs, and all died. 2) The non-intoxicated, immunized rabbits developed typical swelling and pus, which killed all bacteria within nine hours, and all got well. But even though inflammation developed after the intoxicated animals recovered from their drunken stupor, it did not save any of them if bacteria had run rampant even for so short a period as three hours. Dr. Pickrell did not determine the minimal amount...
More significant than these findings, however, were microscopic examinations of cells of freshly killed and newly dead rabbits. Ordinarily the leucocytes (white blood cells) which circulate aimlessly through the body, flow with great rapidity to a site of infection, where they envelop and absorb the invading bacteria. No leucocytes gathered to defend the intoxicated rabbits. Contrary to common medical belief, said Dr. Pickrell, alcohol does not paralyze the defensive leucocytes. Rather it prevents the blood vessels from dilating and makes their walls impermeable, thus trapping the leucocytes and preventing their migration...
...complex salt made from a nitrogen compound, phosphorus and iodine. Since most doctors believe that a focus of bacterial infection is responsible for arthritis they have leaned toward vaccine treatment. Dr. Stern has long held that the most important beneficial elements in a vaccine are the aminoacids produced by bacteria. In hunting for a more potent form of aminoacid he hit upon a salt which has a nitrogenous constituent similar to that of aminoacids...
...years sulfanilamide has cured thousands of streptococcic infections of various types, including streptococcic septicemia (blood poisoning), streptococcic sore throat, peritonitis, puerperal sepsis (childbed fever), etc. Meningitis, gonorrhea and certain types of pneumonia have also been conquered. So far sulfanilamide has had no remarkable effect on diseases produced by bacteria other than the streptococcus, men-ingococcus, pneumococcus, or gonococcus. ¶ Although there have been only ten fatalities in 4,000 cases,** with "no correlation between these reactions and the dosage," sulfanilamide often produces such unpleasant by-effects as nausea and vomiting, dizziness, rash and fever. These disappear with the disease...
Dental lymph, he told the New York State Dental Society at Syracuse last week, apparently nourishes teeth, keeps them supplied with the mineral salts which make them hard and impervious to bacteria and bits of food which cause decay. Malnutrition is one of the factors which disturbs this protective activity of the dental lymph. Therefore, to keep teeth sound, general good health is as important as brushing the teeth. But especially if health is below par, then it is very important to keep mouth and teeth clean...
