I am doing a report in the form of a story on my Great great great grandfather who lost three young children to influenza in 1874. I am trying to figure out what one might have done in those days to treat this illness. Where there medicines available? Any information would be appreciated! Thank you... Hi Katy
Here is one of my favorites even today. I recommend this to all people with ANY issues.
ANCIENT WATER THERAPY CURES
This is the most effective method known to heal an issue like this. Called Hydrotherapy and has been used for thousands of years. Whether she does it or not is another thing. Very powerful! Gangrene testimonial at the bottom.
Ancient Water Therapy for Faster Cures.
Water therapy can produce cures that are not possible with herbs.
Cold water stimulates and hot water relaxes. Together, they are like a universal pump that makes blood flow. Circulation produces cures.
Herbs Cannot cure if blood cannot circulate. Memorize it.
When I speak of water therapy, I am not talking about soothing baths to relax tired and tense healthy people. I am talking about physical transformations that make the 鈥渙ld, sick you鈥?seem like another person.
If you avoid these water cures out of timidity, you are cheating yourself out of a cure.
It is the most powerful treatment a patient can do - Often more powerful than herbs themselves.
"The Original Bath Treatment"
The first thing they do to you is put you in a hot tub - a gigantic hot tub filled with this hot thermal water. And while you are in it, they make you drink about 8 cups of this same hot thermal water. So you are cooking from the inside and out.
Fifteen minutes later, they stand you up and put you in a steam of this hot thermal water and steam you. Then they stand you up in a room with about 20 shower jets, turn the valves on and ice water hits you from every direction.
You are thinking you will jump out of your skin, you think it is going to kill you.
They take you out of the ice water, put you back in the hot tub, then into the cold plunges, then they put you in a room that has radiators all over the wall, soak you in the hot water, and then put ice packs on different areas of you body to increase your circulation.
After 30 minutes of these therapies they put you in the wheelchair and wheel you out onto the porch where you sit there hunched over, moaning, and drooling on the floor.
This is what they knew in Germany, in Europe and in the old nature clinics. They knew they could get a change in your body that you couldn鈥檛 get with anything else - using just hot and cold water.
Question: Did you feel better when it is all over?
Answer: God, you feel like someone has taken all the muscles out of your body and put new muscles and joints in. It is unbelievable.
When you keep this up repeatedly, it heals organs, and it will heal tissues.
The best way to increase blood flow throughout your body is that hot and cold water. In fact, they have shown test where doing this detoxifies your blood. Just having that blood flushed! Because it鈥檚 going through your liver more, it鈥檚 going through your kidneys more, and then you are drinking that water and it鈥檚 going through you.
After one of these rough sessions at a foreign hydrotherapy clinic, you think your blood is going to come out though your skin.
Hydrotherapy is messy, it鈥檚 not in vogue in this country. Nobody uses it. It is one of the greatest healing tools. In fact, there are clinics that heal people of all sorts of diseases exclusively using hydrotherapy and that鈥檚 all.
Ancient documents showed that all kinds of life-and-death disorders were cured by hot and cold water therapy - but healers in the U.S. refuse to use it.
Question: Not even using the rest of the program?
Answer: That鈥檚 right. Not even using the rest of the program. If you pick one program out of all the others it should be hydrotherapy.
Benedict Lust was one of the greatest natural healers of the 1800's. He had a blood washing method where you stayed in the shower for 8 hours while you took detoxing herbs. And he had dramatic healings.
But today, you can鈥檛 get someone to stay in the shower for 8 minutes in this country; and back then, it was 8 hours with waters of various temperatures pounding on you.
In England, the whole town of Malvern was built on hydro-therapy. They had a bucket that would be 30 feet in the air and the pressure of the water would come tumbling down and hit you right on the top of the head. They didn鈥檛 have pressure hoses in those days, so they had to do that.
But they were famous for curing incurables. For example, they healed people with mental disorders; these patients couldn鈥檛 even think straight. They also cured people with brain tumors - just by increasing blood flow with these water treatments.
Question: And they cured cancer? Are you sure?
Answer: Absolutely. These treatments have cured cancer in patients.
And then these old people gave hot herbal packs and things like that.
Question: But if you tell people about this, what do they say : 鈥淭hose are fairy tales from the old days ?鈥?
Answer : Either that it鈥檚 fairy tales, or that it鈥檚 a bit radical. But to these ancient people, death was radical. There is no body writing about it today. Healers like Christopher and Jensen talked about it, but they didn鈥檛 get into it heavily in their writings. All of the good stuff came from the old days.
These clinics in Arkansas have a section they don鈥檛 use anymore, it is unbelievable, granite and marble stands with valves which looked like fire hoses with nozzles on them.
Up against the wall were things that you could hold onto. They would even strap you in because the pressure of the water was so strong. It would dent your skin. It can dent your skin an inch and a half.
Question : Would it rip it?
Answer : No, but it dents it, it goes in your pores even. And it dents your skin, you鈥檙e talking about a massage with hot and cold. I mean my spine felt like it hadn鈥檛 felt in years.
Question : Today, we think it鈥檚 a quaint idea from the past, right ?
Answer : It is the most powerful thing that helps patients recover from their cancers. You can鈥檛 get blood to move in and out of different areas of the body with any therapy that even comes close to hydrotherapy鈥檚 power.
The second closest thing for circulation would be cayenne pepper. It鈥檚 the only herb that you can eat and it can make your face red with blood. Cayenne pepper and body work are good for blood flow. But body work and cayenne, as great as they are, are still a joke compared to hydrotherapy.
How you can use hydrotherapy at home to SPEED - UP any cure.
The best and cheapest thing any human can do to cure their disease is use water therapy.
You need to do two basic things :
1) Apply hot and cold water, as hot as possible and as cold as you can get it, to a diseased area.
2) Take hot and cold showers, or a hot shower, then jump in a bathtub of ice-cold water, or water with 20 - 40 pounds of ice in it.
The purpose of these two techniques is not torture. It is to BLAST blood into sick areas that are not getting enough blood. Until you do that, expect to stay sick.
There was one man who tired the programs for skin cancer, and they did not work. But he omitted one thing: the hot and cold showers. As soon as he did them, his skin cancer went away.
Simple Rules : For those who are frail, use common sense and start slowly. For instance, on babies, use warm water and cool water. Obviously, be gentle.
To get the most results, work yourself up to using as hot as you can stand it - without burning your skin - and as cold as you can stand it. When I do it at home, I don鈥檛 just use cold water. I found it works much better with bags of ice.
You do this at least twice a day. Once is a hot and cold shower, perhaps three of them if you are real sick. You do seven repetitions of hot and cold. If your shower doesn鈥檛 get real cold, use ice cubes in a bathtub. If you don鈥檛 have a bathtub, perhaps rub yourself with a wet, icy towel. Do your best.
Then, always use hot and cold directly on the sick or injured area - not just all over. This is essential.
For the cayenne oil, here is a simple formula.
A Formula for a cayenne heating oil.
Here is a formula anyone can make.
In a glass jar with a tight leakproof lid, place...
5 tablespoons of the HOTTEST cayenne powder you can find (over 250,000 heat units is suggested.) 20 ounces of Jojoba, Olive or Almond oil.
Make it on the New Moon and let it sit until the Full Moon, making sure to shake it every day. On the Full Moon, press or strain off the liquid.
Caution, this can be extremely hot. Start with a little and work your way up in amount.
Common mistakes made by readers who try hydrotherapy.
Due to timidity, readers under use this treatment. They don鈥檛 do it often enough, and they don鈥檛 do it strong enough. They don鈥檛 like to shiver, or they find it uncomfortable. Forget that. To me, continued sickness is more uncomfortable.
For example, when you are really ill, people should do hot and cold showers as much as 30 minutes a day, three times a day, 2 minutes cold and 5 minutes hot.
For people less ill, try 15 minutes once a day, 7 repetitions each of hot and cold.
Use your imagination. One reader saved his wife from a colon operation by using extremely hot and cold wet towels, back and forth, over her intestinal area.
For people with heart problems.
You can put really hot water, in the shower, or with hot towels, right on the chest, and then alternate with ice cold water or ice, and then go back and forth for seven times.
Start mild, depending on the person鈥檚 strength and vitality. Do not overshock them when they are weak. Use good judgement in everything. You can add hydrotherapy to the herbal compresses for serious heart disorders.
Had many patients heal their joint issues, especially their knees. Circulation of blood to the area that is distressed is the key.
Hydrotherapy cured GANGRENE.
Several months ago, a man in the South had gangrene developing. He is an older man, a diabetic. His doctor said if it wasn鈥檛 better in days, his right foot was coming off.
He took 6-8 teaspoons a day of extra-extra hot cayenne pepper, in divided doses day and night. He took them in a cold beverage, or it is too hot to get down. The powder form of cayenne is what he used, never capsules. Forget capsules.
Then, he filled two large buckets, one with hot water and one with ice water. He did this and went back and forth. Then he applied a cayenne heating oil to the sick area when he was done. His leg healed, all signs of gangrene are gone.
What he could have done, if he needed to, was to add herbs to the treatment. Here is what can be done, for those who need to know.
Fill a large tub with hot water, add 4 ounces of cayenne pepper powder, 4 ounces of Ginger root powder, and 4 ounces of mustard seed powder. Put these herbs in a dish towel, tie it closed, and put it in the bath like a big tea bag. You will see the water turn orange.
Then, fill a large bucket with cold water plus 10 pounds or more of ice in it. Plastic garbage bins and wash baskets work well for this. Put the leg, or whatever, into the very hot bath for 5 to 10 minutes and then immediately into the cold for at least 2 minutes, but 5 to 8 minutes is much better. Do at least 5 repetitions of this.
A Final word
One of the things that helps out a lot of you reading these old documents and realizing that even if you go to the extreme, you won鈥檛 be reaching what was done a hundred years ago.
As far out as it appears you are not even approaching the intensity of what the old healers knew they had to do.
These old people had no choice. It didn鈥檛 seem to extreme because, to them, it was much more extreme to die. So nothing they did seemed extreme.
Again, it is more powerful than herbs - because it is the therapy that gets the herbs through the blood to the sick area.
Best of health to you There were no anti-virus drugs. The only thing to do was treat the symptoms as best as they could. For severe cases of pneumonia (which killed a lot of the flu victims) was an oxygen tent but even that could not help the really bad ones. you will never find the answer, as most people back then died because of natural death ( no body had word or medicine for anything back then) influenza was said because it happened in the cold months. |
