METASTIC CANCER OF THE BOWEL
Mr. J. K., age 42. The pre-treatment control period extended from September 10, 1941, when the condition was so poorly developed that it was given a diagnosis of diverticulosis of the colon with a ruptured abscess at the Henry Ford Hospital of Detroit. By February 3, 1942, it had developed a bowel obstruction, which the X-ray revealed to be a cancer of the splenic flexure of the colon, which had already obstructed completely and had perforated. A colostomy was done on the ascending colon, as the left half of the abdomen was fully occupied by the neoplasm. By February 24, the extension occupied the whole abdomen and had perforated the belly wall in several places, showing large and small cauliflower growths with central necrotic festulous openings that discharged feces and extremely putrid material. Practically the whole belly wall was thus invaded. The biopsy taken from the fistulous invasions showed—Gross Pathology: Pathological diagnosis 101.62, John K., February 27, 1942.
“The specimen consists of a piece of skin measuring 14 x 14 axis. The central portion is destroyed and partially filled by a friable grey tumor mass which involves the underlying structures and has been cut through upon removal The tumor shows extensive necrosis. The edges of the specimen are cauterized.
“Microscopic: Sections show a tumor mass invading the subcutaneous tissue. The normal epithelium is absent over the mass. The cells of the tumor are large, hyperchromatic and show many mitotic figures. Poorly differentiated tubular glands are formed by these cells. The massive necrosis affects large areas of the tumor.
“Diagnosis: Metastatic carcinoma of the colon.” The voluminous Henry Ford Hospital record gives much more data, showing that the invasion of the neoplasm was so extensive that it was impossible no cut through the abdominal wall. The retrogression from a strong man at work, of 180 pounds of good muscle to less than 135 pounds and bedfast from September 10, 1941, to February 27, 1942, took less than six months. A half dozen new fistulous cauliflower masses formed in and about the area that was operated, discharging even more offensive necrotic pus.”
Then the Henry Ford Hospital experts wrote in his case record — “This is an entirely hopeless case.” He retrogressed still more rapidly to April 1, 1942, when he was sent home to die. On the way home, by ambulance, he received 2 cc. of the Oxidation Reagent intramuscularly. One month later, the dose was repeated.
“Post Treatment Progress: The interim report of the Henry Ford Hospital as recorded by Dr. Bohr, August 28, 1942, five months after he left the hospital and was given the Oxidation Reagent states: Case No. 342016, John K.:
“Patient left hospital April 1 of this year with a diagnosis of fungating cancer of the colon and a terminal prognosis. On the way home that day he received one of Dr. Koch’s Cancer cure shots. On July 1, he weighed 113 pounds, but from that time on he began feeling stronger and gained weight. By the middle of July, his wound was completely healed. He weighed 175 pounds at the end of July and he has maintained his weight ever since then. He enters the hospital now, after being back to work for three weeks, for first stage of colostomy closure.”
The history shows that the bowel functioned normally through the rectum at this time, so the colostomy was successfully closed and at the time, no cancer tissue was found on exploration. His health returned. He gained to his normal weight and strength and annual examinations for over a five-year period showed the recovery was permanent. The recovery rate is proportional to the pathogenesis rate, which we have found to characterize the 100% fatal viral diseases. Characteristic of the healing by this recovery process, no scar tissue was required to accomplish the tissue reconstruction, because the infection is cleared away with the cancer cells and healing can take place by first intention, without scar.
