December 26, 1990 MOM1.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
