...experts gave Michael adrenaline packs, calcium muscular injections, diathermy; they stuffed paraffin up his nose, cauterized his nasal membranes, gave him nose & ear drops, hundreds of tablets.

After varying periods without the drug, the patients were back where they started. Two other patients are being treated, with similar results, with another hormone called ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), a pituitary gland secretion that stimulates the adrenals...
