Following this lead, they X-rayed the tumors of 82 mice infected with a deadly form of mouse cancer known as sarcoma 180. Then they injected into the tumors small amounts of sterile, distilled water several times a day for three to six days. Results: small doses of X-rays, when followed by water, produced an unusually strong effect. Large doses of over 1,000 Roentgen units, when followed by water, completely destroyed all the mouse tumors. When the scientists omitted the X-rays, tried only water, the cancer cells did not die-only the combination worked...
...practical application of these findings," concluded the scientists, "nothing can be said at this time. If human tumors react in the same way to the combined X-ray and distilled water treatment . . . the range of successful application of X-rays in the treatment of cancer will be materially increased. For, at present, good results cannot be obtained in many cases because the tumor is so insensitive to X-rays that the large dose required to kill it will cause too much damage in adjoining normal tissue...
...healing of wounds, even the blinking of eyelids. Dr. Burr added up the evidence, concluded that every living organism is surrounded by an electrodynamic field. Its electrical pattern develops along with its physiological structure. Dr. Burr further reported that the electrodynamic field of mice is altered by incipient breast cancer - an important addition to the hope chest of early cancer diagnosis in human beings...
