ALLERGY
PITYRIASIS RUBRA UNIVERSALIS
CASE No. 59
Dr. E. Klaveness
This “incurable” disease recovered after two doses of the Carbonyl Catalysts. In this case a 58-year-old man, who was treated on February 25 and again in April 1950, had been suffering, since October 1948, from a skin disease that answered the von Hebra description perfectly and was diagnosed as Pityriasis Rubra by all available skin specialists along with Dr. Klaveness. While at St. Joseph’s Hospital from December 16 to February 23, he lost 20 pounds, suffered daily from a terrific loss of scales and had a steady deterioration in all respects. Normal weight was193 pounds; on Feb. 25 , 1950 was down to 172 pounds showing pronounced erythema of skin from the top of his scalp to the soles of his feet, no papules, no blebs, no marked infiltration of skin which was richly covered by small thin scales, curled up from the periphery on itself, along with moderate itching. Inguinal glands enormously enlarged, felt chilly even when heavily clothed. The urine showed albumen 2.5 grains per liter.
Recovery set in promptly after the SSR injection with no loss of weight. The scaling stopped, first on the scalp and then on the trunk following the first Treatment. Scaling stopped on the extremities after the second injection, along with a change to normal color, a gain in strength, weight and a clearing of the urine of albumen, so that by July 22 he was discharged as cured. Found in good recovery also August 26, and September 9th. Examination then showed the whole situation normalized with the inguinal glands very much smaller, possibly normal.
ACUTE FULMINATING PSORIASIS
CASE No. 60
While psoriasis is generally slow to recover and the results are often disappointing, some cases do recover rapidly and permanently. This is especially true in acute cases. An example is Miss N., age 32 (Her brother also suffered with chronic and severe psoriasis). The psoriasis came a month after an attack of tonsillitis with an acute tachycardia on changing posture as a sequel. She was much sicker than a case of psoriasis usually is. The lesions first appeared on the left thigh and spread rapidly in spite of the best attention of the experts until it covered the entire body affecting the hair and nails in usual fashion. Some of the lesions were deeper than we generally see and especially those between the head and ears. She was given the Carbonyl Catalysts by the writer on April 2, 1926 and a reaction followed on the fourth day with chills, fever, a general achiness along with an inflammatory reaction localized in the tonsils. Thereafter, improvement began to show in the usual cyclical sequence with the most recent lesions responding first. This improvement continued with slight aggravations in the congestions of the lesions during the third, sixth, and ninth weeks. In between, the whole condition improved so rapidly that by the twelfth week only a very few small spots were observed and these were absent at the fourteenth week. She remained well, thereafter. The tachycardia recovered right along with the psoriasis. The photographs were taken at the time of Treatment and again at the fourteenth week. She remains well to last report in 1946 when she offered to testify at the Court Trial.

As in this case, we have offered numerous examples of toxin-host cell integration where both structural and functional changes resulted in different tissues. The psoriasis cellular defect and the neuromuscular control of cardiac rhythm both responded to correction at the same time with the withdrawal of the toxin through the agency of the same molecule. Here again, is an indication that the type of toxin ligation with the host cell in both instances is the same. And after all, the structural changes in psoriasis may be considered as a functional matter for epithelial cells of the dermis function by reproduction to afford protection. Both phenomena present hyperfunction beyond physiological control and thus conform to our definition of allergy. (Koch, Cancer and Its Allied Diseases, 1927) (Koch, The Chemistry of Natural Immunity, 1936)* Neoplasia falls into the same classification, so the clinical evidence in humans on a wide front elucidates a simple pathogenic process to be met clinically, simply and with complete success, in correctly managed cases. If pathology were always interpreted physiologically there would be very few serious defeats for the clinician. We will see that this is true for animal diseases as well.
PSORIASIS UNIVERSALIS
CASE No. 61
Dr. Chester Dove
In this case of Mr. C., age 64, when treated in July 1934, showed universal redness from the top of his head to the soles of his feet with terrific amount of silvery scaling, both large and small, leaving a bleeding base with loss of hair, eye lashes, and finger and toe nails. The soles of his feet separated off as foul, gangrenous sloughs. He suffered day and night without the least relief even with the best medical attention, available.
The photos show the situation before and after Treatment.
He received two injections, each containing two micro mgms of the SSR; the first on July 17, 1934 and the second in October 1934. He made a complete recovery. In February 1957, he told Dr. Dove that there had been no recurrence of the psoriasis since his recovery in 1935.

MULTIPLE ALLERGY
CASE No. 62
Mrs. R., was 45 years old at the time of examination and Treatment in May, 1934. For a year and a half she had continuous intensive hay fever and asthma along with burning, watering eyes and a running nose. She was found at the University of Michigan Hospital to be sensitive to 60 different items including fur, feather, and most foods. These she was able to avoid but still suffered as badly. Continuous nasal sinusitis for years.
There was a continuous urticaria of the hemorrhagic type that added to her misery. There was also a disturbance of the bowel that expanded with gas after every eating along with an incontinence of urine. This was seriously troublesome.
We gave her two micro micrograms of the SSR serial arrangements of Carbonyl groups with free radical terminals. Within three weeks, she was much improved in all symptoms and was able to sleep on a feather pillow, keep a dog and eat whatever she pleased. The recovery was complete in nine weeks and has so remained. The sinus infection became well also but was not fully cured until the twelfth week had passed. Here, too, the first condition to appear, the sinus infection that supplied the allergenic toxin, was the last to completely heal. However, the toxins produced there were in large part immediately induced to undergo oxidation and were made harmless.
While in this case, the allergy affected the secreting and involuntary muscle contractile fibrillae, it often affects the nerve impulse generating mechanism or the conductile fibrillae, in other cases. The following two cases show that the toxemia may be expressed by a cerebral allergy, in various ways. Psychic suggestion may have an instigating effect in nervous cases like pollen has in the hay fever type, but we believe the fundamental pathology in all is the block in the oxidation process which has to be corrected.
ALLERGY OF CEREBRAL CENTERS
On Infectious Basis
CASE No. 63
This patient is representative of the most serious cases of the common allergies. A less frequent type, which illustrates the response of the psychic section of the nervous system, is, also submitted.
The patient was the Rev. A., age 52. He came in December 1938, for a serious sinusitis that involved the left maxillary sinus most severely. He had this infection for over five years and nothing he used helped at all. He reported that for the past few years he suffered from a compulsion neurosis that did not yield to treatment of any kind. When hearing a train whistle, he was forced to let out a yell at the top of his voice. We did not go into psychoanalysis or ask whether or not he had a shock or fright associated with the sounds of a train. No matter what such shock might be, the toxin at the base of the trouble made the synapses hyperactive so contact was extraordinarily easy and impulse transmission easier than normal. Hence, removing the toxin should restore normalcy of function. Or we may say, the nerve cell bodies were under higher energy evolvement because of the energy poured into their mechanism, toxically. Thus only a slight impulse received would set off a maximum response that could travel a whole neuron system with a force much stronger than the inhibiting impulses could manage. He was given but one dose of Benzoquinone, 2 cc. of the 6X homeopathic solution and the sinus infection and the compulsory neurosis both cleared up in three months. He has reported no trouble since.
It is noteworthy that the nervous symptoms stopped immediately even before the infection was all cleared away. Thus the toxic state was first corrected and as in the other cases reported here, the bacteria can be considered non-toxic after the Oxidation Catalysis has accomplished its work.
ALLERGY OF CEREBRAL CENTERS
On Neoplastic Basis -- Dual Personality
CASE No. 64
Another case of cerebral allergy is that of a woman of sixty with a massive carcinoma of the stomach. For two years she suffered a delusion that the air was full of needles and pins that she was inhaling as she breathed. Any drink brought her was full of the same sharp objects and her husband put them there. She recovered both from the cancer of the stomach and from the delusions. Even though the delusion of seeing the air full of needles was excited by hearing a phonograph play in the neighborhood, the delusions existed on a toxic basis as was demonstrated by the complete cure of both conditions, at the same time, as the result of the use of the oxidation Catalysts. One dose was given of the serial system of Carbonyl Groups with free radical terminals on July 20th, 1924. She remained well until 1943 when last seen. At this time, she explained that she knew the “crazy notions” she had suffered form were not true, yet she could not help but believe them. Indicating the existence of a dual personality in a state of conflict. Thus the toxin affected one section of the brain, while the other sections were not. Therefore the basis for Freud’s hypothesis of abnormal psychic states falls flat, since he does not consider the oedematous effects of toxins on the synapses that take part in any concept. Nor does he consider the transfer of energy to the nerve impulse generating mechanisms in the brain cells that result from fluorescent toxins, as we are dealing with in this case and in the previous one. His whole system must be altered to meet this newer information on the subject.
ALLERGY OF MOTOR CENTERS
CASE No. 65
This case demonstrates that an allergy may involve motor coordinating centers and manifest itself by continuous repetition of the same motion without ceasing, as a phase of a highly toxic insanity that failed to respond to all known therapies, even with 1500 doses of metrozole and cardiozole, the course progressed steadily towards death. Prof. Roxo, the renowned professor of nervous diseases at the University of Brazil, gave such a case to Prof. Renato Souza Lopes and the writer in 1941. This was to be a test case because the prognosis was fatality within two weeks. Therefore, if after taking the Benzoquinone injection the patient survived for at least three weeks, it would be seen as an indicator of favorable action obtained by the Treatment, according to Prof. Roxo.
The patient was a young man of about 23 years of age. He had been ill for months without significant remissions, but each forward step of the disease was more severe than its preceding state. The man was raving, swinging both arms in the same order of motion with constant repetition, just as the secretory cells of the mucous membranes keep on acting in hay fever, or the bronchial musculature keeps on contracting in asthma. We gave him two cubic centimeters of the 6X homeopathic dilution of Benzoquinone. He started to improve within twelve hours and was sent home on the fifth day as cured.
