It may be well to preface this summary of prescriptions with the
following explanatory remarks; namely,
(1) That while my compositions are usually taken in the form of powders,
they may be taken in the form of capsules or tablets, in which case the
dose given is always exact.
They may also be mixed with Eubiogen or various kinds of food, except
where this is strictly forbidden by the physician.
Such mixtures cannot be harmful, since they consist of components from
which our body-cells are constructed. They may be taken either singly,
or as compounds.
(2) As regards the matter of quantities:--
Whenever one-fourth teaspoonful is mentioned, the meaning is that
one-fourth of a _heaping_ teaspoonful be taken.
Whenever a _level_ one-fourth teaspoonful is meant, as in the case of
plasmogen, it is because the basic remedy is heavier and, therefore, the
smaller quantity renders an equal amount in weight.
Every dose mentioned herein contains the exact amount of the necessary
constituents, and the harmonious system of dosage which I have worked
out, consists of reducing every compound dosage to one gram, which
weight is equal to about one quarter teaspoonful of the regular
preparation, made lighter and fluffier through trituration with
milk-sugar.
This trituration is a manual process and requires some three hours
steady and continuous rubbing of the ingredients with pestle and mortar,
for each separate composition.
All my compositions should be kept in a dry and cool place. It is best
to put them into wide-mouthed bottles with glass stoppers, as they are
all hygroscopic, that is, sensitive to moisture.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. 1.
PLASMOGEN (PLASMA PRODUCER.)
Plasmogen--Blood-plasma producer. (The red and white blood-corpuscles
are produced by using Eubiogen, XII).
(a). Blood-plasma, is the habitat of the red and white blood-corpuscles.
It can be readily understood that the more sanitary a place, the better
will be the condition of those who live in it. Therefore, the plasma,
(blood-plasma), must first be made as perfect as possible in accordance
with the teachings of science and especially of biology,--a theory which
my own experience has proved to be correct.
No matter how perfect the red or white corpuscles may be, if they live
in diseased blood-plasma, they cannot perform their functions properly
and, as a consequence, the resistant power of the system is crippled.
(b). Plasmogen contains all the constituents in the proportions in which
they should be contained in perfect plasma.
The Law of the Minimum teaches that if one of the ingredients is lacking
in the food, the cells _must_ become diseased. This the great Justus v.
Liebig emphasized when he said: "If the most minute component is
lacking, the rest cannot perform their functions." Taken as directed,
the plasmogen is also in its natural dosage.
It was only after years of ardent study that I was enabled to produce
this composition in the perfect form in which it is furnished today.
Since the plasmogen contains all the salts necessary to keep the blood
in perfect harmony, the circulation as well as the resistant power will
be maintained, the heart relieved, the fighting capacity of the white
corpuscles strengthened, and therefore the power of disease very greatly
reduced.
(c). In all cases of constitutional disease, plasmogen is used to bring
about a proper regeneration and preservation of the blood-cells. In all
cases of acute, febrile diseases its purpose is to bring about a proper
circulation and fluid condition of the blood-cells.
The most wonderful results will accrue through the use of plasmogen in
_all acute_ febrile cases, particularly in the case of children; also by
using the same as directed in individual cases of constitutional
diseases. It is indispensable in producing bactericide blood, which is
necessary to regenerate the body-cells. Therefore, I recommend It in
_all_ Regenerative Treatments.
How many thousands of children may be saved by this single remedy alone
only the biologist who has studied life according to the teachings of
nature's laws, is able to appreciate today. It will take some time
before the general medical practitioner will realize the truth of this
statement, because the old-school medicine does not teach these facts.
Therefore it is the duty of every thoughtful mother to prevent harm to
her children resulting from the drugs they favour. All anti-febrile
chemicals are rank poisons and contrary to nature's way. _Only by
producing a higher temperature is nature able to throw off impurities_;
but in many cases this becomes dangerous, because so very few know how
to avoid an over-taxation of nature's strength. Instead of assisting
nature by keeping the head cool, the feet warm and the bowels and pores
open, the anxious mothers will wrap their babies up nicely, give them
some patent or other obnoxious medicine, and really kill nature's
efforts by means of narcotics and other poisons. Results are always
fatal. The mother must learn to use correct, harmless remedies and to
follow the instructions given nearly 3000 years ago by the wise
Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine," who warned every medical
practitioner with these words: "Nil nocere." (Never do harm).
(d). _Dose_: In acute cases, that is to say, in emergency cases where
the patient, for instance a child, has developed a high temperature, and
the doctor has not as yet diagnosed any special form of disease, or has
been unable to do so because the time of incubation of the germ has not
passed, give the patient a dose of plasmogen, that is, one gram, or as
much as will lie on a ten-cent piece, or one-fourth of a level
teaspoonful. Dissolve it in one-half tumbler of water, (or milk if
prescribed), and let the patient drink it slowly at intervals, as seems
necessary.
In ordinary cases individual directions should be followed.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. II.
LYMPHOGEN (LYMPH CELL PRODUCER.)
(a). In nearly every tissue and organ of the body there is a marvelous
network of vessels, called the lymphatics. These are busily at work
taking up and making over waste fluids or surplus materials derived from
the blood and tissues generally. The lymphatics seem to spring from the
parts in which they are found, like the rootlets of a plant in the soil.
They carry a turbid, slightly yellowish fluid, called lymph, very much
like blood without the red corpuscles. The lymph is carried to the
lymphatic glands where it undergoes certain changes to fit it for
entering the blood.
It is a fact that very few doctors know, that the whole nervous system
can only be fed by the lymph, whose central station is the so-called
ductus thoracicus (thoracic duct), in the upper region of the chest. As
there is no pulsation or magnetism connected with the same, the body
must lie down and rest at night. Then and only then is the system
enabled to feed all the nerve centers, especially through the influence
of the sympathetic nerve system, which may be said to work in the form
of a relay station, through its inherent power from the very beginning.
Therefore, it becomes quite a task to regenerate a broken-down nervous
system, for those practitioners who are not familiar with physiological
chemistry--that is, life chemistry, which teaches the composition of the
tissues. The law of chemotaxis will explain it. The lymphatic system
also plays a great part in constitutional diseases of the blood. Every
degeneration of the blood cells, or dysaemia, is influenced more or less
by the perfect condition of the lymphatic fluid. All cachectic or
morbid nutrition conditions are due to imperfect lymph.
(b). Lymphogen contains all the organic minerals in the same proportion
in which they are contained in perfect lymph, and if taken as directed,
will always restore the lymphatic system and allow it to perform its
important function.
(c). The great importance of perfect lymph will be understood from the
previous remarks, especially those pertaining to the feeding of the
whole nervous system. If the lymphatic system is impeded by underfeeding
or inanition of the nerve-cells, how can any one with common sense
expect such a system to be in perfect working order and harmony? This
applies particularly to those constitutional diseases where the
lymphatic system and the lymph itself are degenerating through causes
due to heredity, predisposition or acquisition of such conditions.
(d). _Dose_: Twice daily I gram or one-fourth heaping teaspoonful or, if
in tablet form, I tablet, dry or with a little water or in foodstuffs;
to be taken at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or as specially directed.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. III.
NEUROGEN (NERVE CELL PRODUCER).
(a). The nerves are the cord-like structures which convey impulses from
one part of the body to another.
The tremendous importance of their absolute health is obvious, since the
co-operation of all parts of the human body depends upon it, while, on
the other hand, their very delicate structure exposes them to numerous
and easily acquired forms of disease.
(b). This composition contains all the constituents required to generate
nerve tissue. The most important and expensive is lecithin. Pure
lecithin, the kind I use, is made from the yolks of fresh eggs. In this
composition I supply nutritive cell-food for generating lecithin in
exactly the same form in which it is found in a healthy, perfect
nerve-cell. It is absolutely digestible and assimilable, and is
triturated with the finest milk sugar.
(c). All morbid conditions caused by imperfect nerve-cells can be
regenerated through this composition as long as there is some foundation
left on which to work.
Under an endless variety of names--as a matter of fact, a big book
would not be sufficient to describe all so-called "nervous diseases"--it
can be readily seen in what a brainless way some "nerve specialists"
classify patients of this kind. Not knowing the constituents of the
nerve-cells, they still attempt to prescribe for neurasthenic patients.
The results are in accordance with such travesty of treatment. The
increase in the number of Insane Asylums gives, or should give, a true
picture of existing conditions. What is needed is a little more
knowledge of physiological chemistry, but as it is too much to expect of
the ordinary so-called "nerve specialist" to be familiar with this
science, we must per force be content with the prevailing condition,
that is, a condition characterized by ignorance of the most vital laws
of being.
But what reasonable ground of complaint, let me ask, have the people,
themselves, in this matter?
Of the appalling results of the prevailing medical system, recognized as
it is by the law of the land and supported and virtually endorsed by
the people's own will and prejudices, they themselves, though well
aware, are yet complacent. But, mark it well, not until independent
medicine shall be accorded reasonable recognition, a fair field and
general fair play, and the chance afforded to science outside the
"orthodox" medical clique to inaugurate some drastic measures of
urgently needed reform, not until then will it be possible to alter this
disastrous state of affairs--not until then will matters become less
unbearable to the individual and less discreditable to every one
concerned. _We can cure disease only by removing its cause; this is my
maxim and it is true for all time._
Much of neurasthenia is due to the degenerate times in which we are now
living. Causes must be removed in every line of life, political, social,
and economical, before normal physical and mental conditions can be
restored. Then neurasthenia, in all its forms, will be a disease of the
past, but not before--not withstanding the frequent alleged discoveries
of serums and antidotes of wonder-working properties so triumphantly
heralded from the "Halls of Science."
(d). _Dose_: Twice daily, 1 gram or one-fourth heaping teaspoonful or,
it in tablet form, 1 tablet, dry or with a little water or in
foodstuffs; to be taken at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or as specially directed.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. IV.
OSSEOGEN (BONE CELL PRODUCER).
(a). If I tell you that it takes seven different compositions of organic
lime to make perfect bones, some people, even very learned ones, may
doubt my word. But biology and physiological chemistry teach that this
is so--and prove it. If this composition were lacking in a certain
quantity of organic magnesia, the bones would grow hard and brittle. It
is the magnesia that turns the tissue into perfect, elastic form.
(b). Osseogen is the composition the constituents of which are necessary
to generate perfect bone tissue. How many troubles could easily be
prevented by using this cell-food in time!
(c). This composition becomes an absolute essential in all cases of
imperfect bone structure, such as rachitis, or rickets, constitutional
disease of children, osteomalacia, tuberculosis of the bones, deformity
of bone structure, such as curvature of the spine, etc.
Softening of the bones, known as osteomalacia, curvature of the spine,
rachitis and many other terrible conditions of disease would not be
known to humanity if proper precaution were taken in time.
Hundreds of patients are today cured by my method of supplying this
lacking constituent in a form assimilable to even the smallest infant.
Lime-water and such imaginary substitutes are pure nonsense, as must
surely be apparent to even the simplest layman when they consider for a
moment that it takes seven different lime compositions in order to
supply the necessary lime for generating bone tissue. Is it necessary to
say more to convince even a dogmatist? How indispensable osseogen
becomes may be realized when people begin to know enough about
themselves to realize that our bone structure must be "fireproof" in
order to last for the normal span of human life!
(d). _Dose_: Once or twice daily, according to the individual case. 1
gram will be sufficient for a proper dose. As stated before, one-fourth
of a heaping teaspoonful is equal to a gram.
It may be that in a short while I shall be able to supply all these
compositions in tablet form in their respective doses. Then medication
will become still more simple. This composition may also be taken in
food or a little water.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. V.
MUSCOGEN (MUSCLE CELL PRODUCER).
(a). The term muscle signifies every organ of the human body which, by
contraction, produces the movements of the organism. Muscles are of the
greatest variety and strength, but all consist of the same chemical
elements, and can be regenerated in case of disease, like every other
organ, by feeding the patient with the chemical substances which the
muscle cells require.
(b). Into this composition I have introduced the components necessary
for muscle tissue.
The basis of this form of cell-food is potassium phosphate. It will
regenerate all muscular tissue when used as directed. All minerals
contained therein are organized and in a perfectly digestible and
assimilable form. Even an infant can easily digest it. It will prevent
all decompositions of the muscular system and regenerate the cells as
long as any basis for life is left.
(c). As it is impossible for even the healthiest system to build up new
tissue without the necessary proportion of albumen, it becomes very
important to use the right proportion and form of this component.
Therefore, all patients who are in need of this special tissue builder,
must at the same time take the main composition, Eubiogen (life
producer). Under No. XII, I will endeavor to give the reader some little
idea of its properties, and describe its marvelous regenerating powers.
(d). _Dose_: 1 gram, or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful once or
twice daily will be sufficient. It may have to be taken for 3, 6, 9 or
12 months, and even longer. Everything depends upon the cause of the
degeneration of the muscle tissue.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. VI.
MUCOGEN (MUCOUS MEMBRANE CELL PRODUCER).
(a). The entire intestines, the stomach, all cavities, organs, openings
of the body, the genital and urinary tracts, etc., are lined with mucous
membrane, which must always be kept in a normal and healthy condition,
otherwise the functions of metabolism and procreation of the organism
cannot be carried on in safety and health.
(b). Mucogen consists of all the constituents necessary for the building
up of the peculiarly tender tissue called mucous membrane. These
constituents are absolutely indispensible, and nature must be supplied
with them if disease of the mucous membrane is to be healed by removing
its cause.
(c). The tenderness of this tissue is obvious, and experience has shown
how much it is exposed to changes in its normal condition, how easily an
increase or decrease in its main functions is brought about. While this
increase or decrease in many instances is a natural fight of nature
against the intrusion of opposing elements into the body, it frequently
assumes dimensions that are most unpleasant and seriously impair the
health, such as catarrhal conditions, all of which are due to poor or
degenerated cells of this tissue.
The frequent occurence of this form of disease shows the importance of
always supplying the cells of this tissue with the substances that keep
them in health, or if need be, will regenerate them.
(d). _Dose_: 1 gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful once or twice
daily will be found sufficient to supply the requirements.
In some instances this composition, as well as others, may be mixed with
the main composition Eubiogen, in order that the patient may digest it
more readily, especially in the case of a child.
Special directions must always be followed closely.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. VII.
DENTO AND OPHTHOGEN (TOOTH AND EYE CELL PRODUCER).
This refers to the enamel of the teeth and the crystalline lens of the
eye.
(a). Two special tissues of the human body, the close connection
between which has been observed and recognized but very little, contain
a predominant quantity of fluoride of lime, and consequently may be
placed under one heading in this system, although the basis for the
fluorate of the teeth is calcium, while the basis of the crystalline
lens of the eye is gelatine.
(b). I have composed this cell-food, containing the necessary fluoride
of lime, in this particular way in order to avoid too much
specialization. From long years of practical experience I have found
that the special cells of each tissue will take up only those
constituents which they need for the construction of their respective
tissue, as taught by the law of chemotaxis.
(c). Composition No. VII will be prescribed in case of tooth and eye
troubles. Any observant student of human nature will have noticed that
in severe cases of degeneration (as for instance, diabetes) not only one
of these two tissues mentioned above is affected, (as the decaying and
falling out of the teeth), but in most cases also the other (as cataract
of the eye). Some doctors of course may ask what in the world the tooth
has to do with the eye. But, alas! they have yet much to learn. The two
are not so distinct from each other when one understands. I fear that
later on, when this method, which is the only true and natural one,
comes into practice, everything will be specialized to such an extent
that the real science of it will become so complicated that the
proverb--"Veritatis simplex oratio est"--(The language of truth is
simple)--will become entirely obsolete.
It is my endeavor to state the pure unvarnished truth, and in terms as
simple as possible; that is my mission.
(d). _Dose_: One gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful, or one
tablet in a little water or milk, once a day will be sufficient except
in very severe cases of degenerated tissue.
DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. VIII.
CAPILLOGEN (HAIR CELL PRODUCER).
(a). The hair is built of a number of elements not contained in other
tissues of the body, and which must be supplied in order to keep the
hair in good health and prevent it from falling out.
(b). Capillogen contains all the necessary constituents in proper
proportion required by perfect hair tissue.
(c). The main disease of the hair, responsible for this falling out, may
be due, to two different causes. It may be due to the quality of the
hair, or to the condition of the nutritive soil of that part of the skin
where hair is wont to grow. If the loss of hair is due to the first
cause, its regeneration, through Dech-Manna Composition No. VIII,
naturally gives rise to the hope that the lost hair may be replaced, if
the process of regeneration is not begun too late, as is usually the
case.
