SO-CALLED "NEGATIVE CHILDREN'S DISEASE".
In strong contrast to the conditions of "positive" disease amongst
children, due, as I have explained, to over-vitality and too rapid
vibrations, we have to consider the opposite condition of Negative
disease, comprising all physical disturbances wherein cold negative
electrical forces and reduced vibrations produce unhealthy action of the
mucous membranes, resulting in degeneration of the tissues known as
Catarrh in various forms. Bronchitis, Grippe, Influenza and light
catarrhal inflammation of the respective organs. One of the most serious
in this chapter is summer-complaint (Cholera infantum). This disease,
which causes the death of so many, is due to the bringing up of infants
on artificial food instead of on the mother's breast. It is one of the
negative diseases caused by diminished vitality. The disease is similar
to Asiatic cholera. An extensive description of the same is given in
Chapter XI A of my book, "Regeneration or Dare To Be Healthy." Frequent
vomiting and diarrhoea, with rapid collapse of all vitality, and severe
brain disturbances manifest themselves, and death frequently occurs
after 36 hours. During hot weather bacterial germs impregnating the air,
frequently enter the milk, and many children succumb to the disease at
the same time, until wind and rain improve the general conditions. This
is the explanation of the occasional epidemic appearance of Cholera
Infantum--and its established cause.
_Therapy._
_Diet_: The mother's breast or the breast of a healthy wet nurse is the
very best remedy for this complaint, if applied at an early stage. If
this is impossible, a gruel of barley, oats or mucilaginous rice-water,
a decoction of salep (1 teaspoonful to 1 pint of water), or rice water
(1 teaspoonful of crushed toasted rice to 1/2 pint water) are
recommended. The missing nutritive substance is best supplied by
calcareous earth (calcium carbonate), giving 1/4 teaspoonful in a
tablespoonful of sweetened water every 3 to 4 hours, for a day or two.
It is the simplest, yet most wonderful remedy ever discovered. It is in
cases like this that physiological chemistry celebrates its victory. Try
it and you will be convinced. For more vigorous means the physician must
be consulted, as he should be in any case of this
