An INTRODUCTION to GERMANISCHE HEILKUNDE®

Tuberculosis
There is an interesting work on tuberculosis by Citron and. Girling (D. Warrell, Lehrbuch der Infektionskrankheiten, 1990). [D. Warrell Textbook of Infectious Diseases, 1990] from which I will cite some interesting points:
"Animals can be injected with a great number of tubercular bacteria without necessarily having a pathologic reaction. The exact mechanism of their virulence is not clear."
This is followed by a lengthy explanation, whereby all the cellular-pathological possibilities – phagocyte hypothesis, immunological hypothesis, T-lymphocyte hypothesis – are exhausted. The brain or the psyche, of course, is not considered.
And yet, medical historians have noticed that tuberculosis and poverty are always related:
"...In Great Britain, the epidemic of tuberculosis during the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century caused so many victims that it became known as the "white plague". The incidence of the disease later steadily declined, even without control measures. The cause probably ties in the reduction of risk of infection, much better living conditions, better nourishment and better social conditions, all leading to a better host resistance."
Further one reads: "In most developing nations, the present risk of tuberculosis infection is 20-50 times as high."
Picture: Smoking cigarettes and lung cancer are definitely linked. But because of the long time span between increased cigarette consumption and increased incidence of lung cancer, the relationship remained unclear for a long time. These data came from England and Wales. Among the male population (black symbols), smoking increased at the beginning of the 20th century, but the corresponding increase in the number of lung cancer deaths could not be observed before 1920. Women (coloured symbols) started smoking much later and lung cancer is only now becoming more frequent among them. (the graph in colour could not be scanned)
With this in mind, I want to say that the right facts were collected. The facts are not in dispute. However, the fact that tuberculosis has something to do with fear, specifically the fear of death, and especially among the poor, was not observed by anyone. This was probably because so-called serious doctors were always rich. They were unable to place themselves in the position of the poor.
Had one ever tried it, he would have discovered the first phase of lung tuberculosis at once, and so would have co-discovered the whole of the Germanische Heilkunde® as well.
During the following period, more and more alveolar (lung) nodules were diagnosed as lung cancer, which would previously have only been diagnosed as tuberculosis during the pcl-phase. This is how tuberculosis decreased and lung cancer increased.
